The battle for New Hampshire

Shirley Metcalf. Lowell, Ar. 72745 — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 16:28:35 GMT

I am 72 years old, and have nothing better to do than listen to all of the candidates speak. Four years ago when I heard Barak Obama speak, I called my grandson in to here what he had to say. It was a very inspiring speach. I told my grandson that he would be President someday. Having said that I don't believe this is the right time for him. I do believe it is a very important time in our country and we desperatly need Hillary Clinton to come in and know what to do to change George Bushes policies.
Barac attracts the young people who have not lived through some hard times, even tho (unfortunatly) they are the ones we send off to fight in our wars, I don't believe they will take voting very seriously come November.
I think they get caught up in the moment like a rally for a football game. He makes a pretty speach and he excites the crowds, but to me Hillary has the answers to make the changes I also think the republicans that came out for Obama will not vote for him either in November. I believe the deck was staked to knock down Hillary. I would like to encourage all the young people and others to listen to all the speeches and carefully compare them before voting. I say to you that you will not find a better plan than Hillary's. I don't know her personally, but I know people who do and any one that knows her says she is the real deal. Real change come from a keen eye, a good grasp of the issues facing America, working across the isle with people who may not share your views, and knowing when to get tough and hold your ground.
I think nobody will bring change, trust and expierance like Hillary Clinton.
Thank you
Shirley

AGAIN REAL FACTS ""RULE"" — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 17:16:41 GMT

Again responsible voters must step forward and tell America, Sending a Washington self serving paper hanger to be the next President is a grave mistake.

The babble and conjecture HRC has present is a slight of words and fact.

Americans have from past heard all the slogans, stump promises, I will change, I will make, I will reform, and the list is endless. Be it of fact, scandal, no in office experience, conjecture of voting, argumentative to all of what the other party attempts, issues false statements, knowingly takes monies from felons, and this list is also endless. America is always strangled by the self serving paper hangers, as we see it by this failed Congress.

Being disgusted that now the laws have been twisted, national land and air defense open to invasion, millions of non Americans roaming our streets and more invade per day, and this list is also endless.

Seeing the Washington self serving paper hangers past and present performance is failure, we use the failures as a ruler to electing this next President.

Why does your news network continually rule out Edwards when he came in second not Hillary? Do you measure candidates only by money which means you buy into the corrupt PAC process? Why do you ignore all the people who voted for Edwards?

It's looking like Hillary has a pretty good chance of winning in New Hampshire. I think if she stays on message and continues emphasizing her proposals for change she'll do well. Just because Obama is a 'fresh face' doesn't make him uniquely more qualified to lead the country. Hillary has plenty of good ideas and vision for America's future.

Go Hillary!

Well, Mr Gardner better get ready for another record turnout.As evidenced by the breakdown of the voting block's in Iowa, people from All walks of life are getting behind Barack Obama. For anyone independently watching campaign event's & such(100 club dinner last night), America is behind Barack Obama & his message.Young, old, middle age, all races are sick & tired of Washington getting Nothing done. I would venture to predict, that when Congress comes back to town, that everyone will see a change in what they may be able to accomplish.Politicians see this & they know, they better get off there Butt's & start trying faithfully to navigate America's problem's, because if they don't, the Voter's are ready to Replace anyone that will not Compromise.Bet the farm on it!!!!

I DON'T THINK PEOPLE HAVE REALLY TAKEN THE TIME TO
LOOK AT THE OUTCOME OF IOWA. THE ACTUAL DELEGATE
COUNT WENT OBAMA-16 CLINTON-15 EDWARDS-14-SO SPIN
EDWARDS AS YOU WILL. SECOND PLACE WENT TO HILL.
FORMER SENATOR EDWARDS LIKES TO SAY HE WILL FIGHT
ME EVERYDAY AS PRESIDENT-WELL HE QUIT FIGHTING FOR
ALL OF US WHEN HE QUIT THE SENATE FOUR YEARS AGO
AND GAVE HIS SEAT TO A REPUBLICAN. SO IF HE DECIDED
TO CUT AND RUN FOUR YEARS AGO WHY SHOULD WE THINK
HE WOULD STAND FOR ANYTHING NOW. THOSE DEMS. THAT
WENT FOR EDWARDS DECRIBED THEMSELVES AS CONSERVATIVE
SO IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THEY WOULD HAVE CAST THEIR
VOTE FOR THE MORE LIBERAL LEANING SENATOR OBAMA. I
GUESS THEY MISTOOK MR. EDWARDS ANGER AS CONSERVATIVE
AFTER ALL WE HAVE SEEN THE ANGRY SMIRK FROM THE
CONSERVATIVE MR DICK CHENEY SO LONG THAT THE TWO ARE
NOW VIEWED AS THE SAME.

Dave Cartwright — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:32:07 GMT

I have watched the manipulation of viewers in many instances by the television media. Name calling candidates, and since when is promoting ones (newscasters) opinion reporting news? This article is well written and seems fare in content.

Just for example, I’ve watched “Hard Ball Chris” for a long time, yet I must say I was very disappointed at his reference to Mr. Romney as “Mr. Slick,” not once but several times. There is no foundation for that childish remark. I don’t say that as a Romney supporter, I say that as one of the MAJORITY of Americans who does want “CHANGE”; not just in “Washington Politics,” but CHANGE in the “Media manipulation of politics.” It causes one to wonder, are the news casters making a little money on the side supporting certain positions? This type of behavior is clearly not limited to politicians!

“Mr. Slick”? After viewing politicians on both sides of the isle, anyone with a brain that can analyze the facts, each politician’s history, and that can make a decision for themselves, knows there are many others that have earned the “Mr. or Mrs. Slick” label! Romney would be at the end of that line, if there at all.

I’m an independent. On my score card so far there isn’t a qualified Democrat candidate. You have one with a history mired in dishonesty and a “life long politician.” Among all the other past issues, when she left the White House last time she and the original “Mr. Slick” ripped off how many items out of the White House? What will be taken if they’re given another chance? Or you have one that talks about change that doesn’t have near the experience to deal with the crises that are before us; being a popular “smooth talker” only gets you so far. The closest would be Edwards I believe he is sincere and would give it his best. He may be the best choice of the Democrats, but not the best choice for president.

Huckabee, a “paid” professional preacher gone politician with a gift to gab, who has belittled other people’s religions and beliefs, run his own negative ads with clearly proven distortion of historical facts, then cries foul when his opponents show his past record for comparison in ads! Does he really expect us to believe that his abilities as a smooth “tawlk-n nice guy” are going to help him call terrorists to repentance? Or that his past careers (livelihood) of living off others donations to God, or living off his constituents as Governor of Arkansas gives him the clear understanding of the real Business world to correct the National economy?

Romney has a proven history of successful conservative business practices; those that have worked with him or hired him have nothing but good to say about him and his abilities. When he was Governor of Massachusetts he carried out the will of the majority of the people even if it was contrary to his views. “That by definition is representing your constituents.” When the Olympic Games were in trouble he was called in; nobody can argue that he did anything but a magnificent job. He’s a tough negotiator. He has demonstrated his care and concern for people and given back a lot. He has refused payment or benefits beyond what he felt were right. (Show me anybody running for office with that in their history). He has used much of his own money to run for office, yet he is condemned for it? Is it jealousy? He clearly believes in God, and accepts Jesus as his savior, and respects the religious beliefs of others. He has demonstrated good character in many ways. Obvious to all would be that his opponent (who thinks he has the right to define who is a Christian) mocked Romney’s religion, and Romney who really wants to serve the people as President, held his ground and would not deny his beliefs; verses Huck’s “I want to be ‘Mr. President’ therefore I dictate what a Christian is.” He needs to reread the constitution and the Bible.

HRC is a open blaintant sick excuse for a President! Milti "FACTS" resound as to past and present show no leadership, Where is a leader ever had so much immoral scandal, involvement with known felons, negative conjecture for a voting record, self serving personal agenda! And this list is endless.

America will no longer support a self serving paper hanger as the next President AND YOU FAIL YOURSELF IF YOUR SUPPORTING HRC!

HRC is a path of lies, socialist agenda, misrepresented voting, continued coat tail hanging, HRC is a puppet and the puppet master is bill Clinton and carville!

America will vote to stop sending a Washington self serving paper hanger to be the next President.

Change ""YES"" Clinton lives in the past, and we see what the past has done to this nation!!!!

The Clintons are old, yesterday's news.

Time to move on.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for a Republican in the White House in 2009.

In a 94% white state, Obama CLEANED up! young voters, independents, women, 1st time caucusers, moderate Republicans.

National polls shows Obama beating Romney and Guiliani by >10 % points!

So...who is the most electible?

John Willis — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:14:52 GMT

Folks,

John McCain is the man to lead this country.

Mitt Romney did little or nothing in Massachusetts. Dave, can you educate me on his super accomplishments. He did so well that they now have a Democrat governor- strange isn't it?
And the Olympics- also Dave, please educate me. They weren't going to have the games that year? Are you aware how many folks Mitt hired to help on the project; or the fact that the Olympics were already turning around prior to his getting there. Google and do your homework!
And finally, his ( Mitt 's ) business acumen. What company has he led? He never cites it! Why, because as a venture capitalist you buy companies, gut them for profit, and resell them. Dis this guy ever run a GE, or an IBM?
Mitt fans, please. He lacks the experience, but most importantly the courage of conviction. He now is all about change- why? Because that was the message out of Iowa- this guy is a moving target, and he is desperate. What a great Commander in Chief that would be. He'd have to check the polls before a decision.
Folks, please go to the polls and vote for Senator McCain. He appreciates your support, and will lead form day one!
Dave, continue your work as a Mitt paid consultant, but be prepared to be disappointed. It's the Mitt way!
