I know some of Obama's supporters think he should travel to W Va., before Tuesday's primary, but I trust his campaign to make the wisest decisions as to how he should proceed as the Presumpt. They've done spectacularly so far.

West Virginia doesn't look that bad for Obama and

Kentuckians know how to seperate talk from action...

Barack Obama just keeps sounding more and more presidential everyday. This is the candidate our country needs to get ourselves out of the gutter Bush/Cheney has dug us into. All McCain wants is for our country to keep wallowing in the gutter he helped place us into and he'll make certain he turns our country into a third-world debtor nation with a constantly devalued currency.

Go Obama 08/12!

There are quite a few potential VP candidates that have better experience and less negatives than Clinton and could help solidify the Demcratic Party. How about spending some time about a good VP candidate rather than a significantly flawed candidate. There's Washington Governor Chris Gregoire (female), New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, Senator Chris Dodd, Senator Joe Biden, etc. etc.

I think it is the first big strategic mistake of the Obama campaing not to vigorously contest the WV and KY primaries. If Clinton gets the % of vote that is showing up in the polls in those states with a big win in PR she could erase his popular vote lead without FL or MI.

I suspect all the Hillary Bashers on here will continue to bash her even after Obama gets the nomination - and loses the general.

It is true that there is more than enough differences between McCain and Obama that Obama can stay on the high road. I am one of those white, hard-working middle-class men that both campaigns are targeting. The caveat is that I work on a highway road crew. One that would have been impacted (can you say laid off?) if John McCain's proposal to eliminate the gas tax had become a reality. The highway funds pay for my paycheck and even with my wife working part time, we are falling behind. A tax break for families like mine is something that this man Obama can deliver. Sure, I'm a white guy who is "supposed" to vote with my own and for my own but McCain is just not right for the regular folks in this country. He is for the rich and connected. I'm in Michigan where my vote would have gone to Edwards (and not count) but now I have to support the democrat who will put the US back on the right path. My wife being a die-hard feminist could never vote for a man who has promised to limit every woman's right to control their own bodies. Democrats MUST re-take the white house this November.

While Oregon DOES have it's share of racists and sexists, that is predominant mostly amongst the older folks here, but the rest of us in Oregin are pretty open minded particularly the cities where most of our population actually resides, Portland, Salem and Eugene. Obama is going to take Oregon by a Landslide, we hae watched the dirty, slime-wallowing backbiting that the Clinton Campaign has run, and contrasted that to the proud, upstanding Gentleman, who has run a great race, sticking, mostly, to the very high road, something which too many politicians have forgotten to do, mainly because they had to stick to party lines and if you have no substance or reasonable policy differences, and so the shrill "He Hit Me Back First" type politics comes about, where candidates try to fling so much mud in the air they think they can confuse the Electorate....Well Well Well, Guess what, this Wonderful Media, which we are using right now, allows us to, nearly instantly CHECK on the Facts of what they are saying, with some groups devoted to unwinding their lies. This, and this alone is why Hillary is Losing, she has lost HER bearings and fought the type of battle that only works if BOTH candidates play it, Obama did not fall for that pathetic game, and so is the one reaping the bonus of (In ALL Likelyhood) winning this race.
Politiciand Be Warned, We The People HAVE the Power of Information Now, not like when it took the Pony Express so long to deliver mail cross country, and that was for a tiny amount of data flow, Now we can access information from so many different sources, and Lots of those sources are keeping Big Open Eyes on what our Politicians are doing, since we so recently (and still) have Majorly BAD Players in the game (Present Administration)...What are we doing, we are in the process of Changing the Status Quo of ALL Politicians, Change WILL happen, when the Republicans are swept out of office in a major tidal wave of revolt against their Treasonous activities and policies. This is No Ordinary Election Year, MAJOR changes are coming, and they are way past Due!!!

Please, You have passed many of my posts recently, Please post this one, Thank You!!

Disappointing article. Whats with the negative slant on everything?

"coughing several times during his closing"

"it's important that he make inroads with the group to support his electability argument that he is a uniter"

"Early in his speech, Obama misspoke about the number of states he had visited."

None of these comments are necessary and detract from what would have otherwise been a professional piece.

No stoics for post Hellenistic society — Sat, 10 May 2008 17:11:41 GMT

John McCain graduated 894 out of a high school class of 899. Is he smart enough?

John McCain's war experience makes him a hero. When he stayed in captivity when he could have been released is a clear indication that McCain is a stoic. A stoic would believe that we should stay in conflict regardless of the consequences. As McCain stoically remained in prison in Viet Nam, he would stoically keep the US engaged in Bush's failed policies.

Is that the sign of a smart man?

Obama can re-tool for the general election but he will crash and burn in November as the pro-Obama biased media annointed presidential nominee trying to swipe the nomination from Sen. Clinton.

The pro-Obama biased media interfered in, undermined, and subverted the Democratic nomination process. The pro-Obama biased media continues to sabotage Sen. Clinton's presidential campaign. If Sen. Clinton doesn't get the nomination, McCain will be president and it will be four more years of Bush under McCain.

Obama, you will have your work cut out for you in the general election---if you become the nominee----and guess what----don't count on us Clinton supporters to help you out. While we democrates agree this country needs to be fixed---we do not agree that you are the person judged qualified enough to do the job,s o you best hope that all your supporters vote twice, because Clinton supporters will be sitting this one out. You say you can get Clinton supporters to vote for you----well you are sadly mistaken. We will not come around to your candicacy because you have not earned our respect. We will sit back and watch you get eatin-up by the Republican machine.

HILLARY IS PLAYING THE RACE CARD ... — Sat, 10 May 2008 17:13:48 GMT

MSNBC HEADLINE: "CLINTON: PLAYING THE RACE CARD?"

.........................................................................
Comment:

HILLARY HAS RUN A BLATANTLY RACIST CAMPAIGN. HILLARY & BILL HAVE TRIED TO USE THE 'RACE CARD' AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

IF JOHN McCAIN MADE SUCH RACIAL ARGUMENTS AS HAVE THE CLINTONS --- BLACK LEADERS WOULD BE OUTRAGED --- THEY WOULD BE SCREAMING & HOLLERING ON EVERY RADIO & TV TALK SHOW DENOUNCING SUCH BLATANTLY RACIAL POLITICS. BUT SINCE IT IS THE HILLARY CAMPAIGN PLAYING THE RACE CARD, ONLY A FEW BLACK LEADERS ARE SPEAKING OUT IN PROTEST & CONDEMNATION. WHY???

WHY IS DEMOCRATIC "RACE BAITING" OK?

Well said Tommy. Obama and the DNC will figure out a fair way to get your delegates seated and Senator Obama will unite the rest of the party and the country. We will get back on the right track with new leadership in washington. I have two daughters of voting age and all 3 of us as feminists could never vote for McCain. We are white women who Obama CAN depend on this November. Forget what Hillary says about white people not voting for Obama. We know the consequences of the republicans continuing the Bush administration.

The reason the future President was caughing during the end of his speech was because the crowd was soo huge he was almost yelling during the whole time so everyone could hear him, I kept thinking someone give the poor man some water........

Wow his visits here in Oregon were well recieved and
and a lot of people are already voting early for him and dropping their ballots off in droves to get this gifted man into the White house....

I am so proud of the democrats..
this our time... :)
