Good comments here, not sure who I would vote for but it won't be Obama. Cannot believe media has not checked out the web site for his faith, Trinity United Church of Christ as he stated on Oprah. Take a look, nothing in there mentions America, you must be black to join and the symble is even of the country of Africa. I think Obama is bought and paid for by Oprah, and if he wins Welcome to the United States of Africa.

I think it's amazing that American's are turning against Hillary, what ever is wrong with us. Here she fires civil servants (in Travelgate,) refuses to act the part of the obedient housewife, leaving important papers on her coffee table for two years until they were needed by her to respond to a court order. I have a wife who works hard at home, but Bill's wife is out and about (in so many ways,) and only found those important papers at the last moment.

Something must be very wrong... Why can't all of us have spouse's who get angry whenever they don't get their way.

I know what you're thinking, you think I'm not an authentic supporter. But I am. After all, where else am I going to find a woman whose been in politics for 35 years? (her words, repeated many times.)

If only I had the choice to vote for someone like she claims to be, an actual advocate for a strong defense, a real proponent of children. Many men (of which I am one,) would gladly vote for a woman, but we want a woman such as Laura Bush or Rosalind Carter, or a younger Barbara Bush -- but not this woman.

Dear Hillary and Bill,

If you want to retain your place of respect in the Democratic Party, you should seriously consider dropping out NOW!!

There are polls out showing that you could actually lose in New York on February 5th.

The time has come for both of you to be peace-makers in the Democratic Party. We know how much you both love the Party, and the country. You cannot win this nomination. If you continue, and humiliate yourself by losing your own home state, your legacy (both of your legacies) will be forever tarnished.

This is not just my thought. I've been TV "channel surfing" all morning and reading blogs all over the internet. This idea is everywhere today. The realization and acceptance has set in that this Democratic contest is, for all intents and purposes, over.

Do the right thing, not just for you, but for the Democratic Party, and the country. You both have been revered and greatly admired. Don't risk losing that respect by dragging out this process when it has become very obvious that it would be futile to continue.

It occurs to me watching Iowa and now New Hampshire that Party Professionals in both parties and the media elite they hobnob with have spent a lot of time talking only to each other. Both republicans and democrats, right wing media stars, and left-wing hatemeisters have been totally bunkered for these last few years. The American People, starting in Iowa, now New Hampshire, soon in SC and finally on Super Tuesday are finally going to be heard.

Robert, Providence, RI — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:11:56 GMT

I would wager that this news is good for Obama, bad for Hillary, and bad for McCain. If the turnout is so incredibly heavy on the Democratic side, then this seems to imply a large number of independents are showing up to the Demcoratic primaries and, given Obama's wide appeal and support among independents, they are likely turning out for him.
At the same time, this robs McCain of independent votes which he desperately needs on the Republican side. Mitt Romney has higher levels of support among tried-and-true Republicans, but can lose if a heavy flow of independents are voting in the primary.
Who knows.
I personally like McCain and Obama very much and feel that if they each won their parties nomination, for the first time in a long time, the general election would be about which candidate is better for the country and not about voting for the lesser of two evils and which candidate sucks less.

Russ, Florida — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:30:42 GMT

I just don't get why everyone is counting out Hillary Clinton. Obama has the momentum, no doubt…but it is a long way from being decided. Look at the polls across the nation. The Obama fire has not caught on everywhere. Infact, it is basically contained to Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. 3 states do not decide the nominee. I think the other 47 states would like to have some input.

Looking at those polls, Clinton has a 20% or higher lead over Obama in many of the "key" states. California, Nevada, Florida, New Jersey, Michigan…how does that sound? Now you have a 5-3 state lead for Clinton and many more delegates for Clinton.

In other words, this is far from over. Clinton needs to regroup, refocus, and start believing in her campaign again.

Clinton supporters…don't give up!!! Your candidate is viable, electable, and ready to lead, and bring change, to our country.

Lastly, when pundits and historians look back at the 2008 primaries, they will say that Obama (and his early push) lit the fire in the Clinton campaign. Being the frontrunner and presumed winner is not truly running a campaign. Now Clinton is being tested and she is, and will continue to, display her leadership skills and highlight her experience as an agent of change and as a highly effective leader.

My Best Friend is leaving next week for his first 18 month deployment in Afghanistan. I am very saddened that I may have seen my friend this past weekend for the last time. You bet I am mad as heck over what is happening in this country, and the useless poorly managed wars being run in the middle east by the repukes. And I am certainly not alone. This overwhelmingly greater democrat turnout at the first primary and caucus over the repukes, is a testament to how we are angry with how this country is being run...and the repukes running for their nomination are nothing more than Bush clones who'll keep us going into the crapper like Bush, and mismanage the wars so as to keep us entrenched in IRaq and Afghanistan forever, so that they can make money out of it for themselves and their friends. Meanwhile, my friend is paying the ultimate price for the repuke's stupidity. If they had done their job correctly and properly managed the war in Afghanistan, my friend would not be going over there to help train the Afghans to protect themselves.

Sorry Bill, but the race is over. Let us get behind Obama and leave the negativity to the Republicans and we will watch them dwindle.

She can win and has republicans scared so will. Republicans however love the notion of facing a man with a troubled past and drug history who has not even a full single year of office experience and if were not careful and Elect the only Democrat who can win in Clinton then we will be forced to sit and watch the republican machine tear down a crackhead with no experience.

Lets not be to quick to believe that Obama is any different than other old guard politicians, he has wonderful stage presence and seems very articulate. However, his party has vacated main stream America, invalidated the ideology of the Democatic party and as far as I am concerned split America into what is commonly refered to as Blue and Red. At least the Republican party remains true to their origins, at least you can tell where the Republican candidates stand, this cannot be said for the Democratic candidates. And as for Hillary, if any sane person in America would know what her real agenda is, she would not even be a viable candidate.

I am a supporter of hillary clinton and will always be. She brings experience and I believe is best qualified not to say that Obama is not a good at inspiring people. However, when I look at current events, our economy, healthcare I just don't see someone with so much limited experience being able to lead effectively. She may not be as graceful and inspirational but when it comes to it, do I want someone to inspire me? Or do I want someone that will lead with experience? I think he would be an amazing vice presidential candidate this time around and then run in the future once he has been on the world stage. The only world experience he seems to have is his personal relationship with Kenya and that for some reason troubles me, not because I have a problem with that country but rather because he's not doing it as a politician, he's involved because his family is as well. Just an opinion, the same way I respect others.

High turnout suggests that agents of change on both sides will prevail. Some have suggested that it is a forgone conclusion McCain will win tonight. I believe it will be the Huckster who will win. He is the only agent of change among all the Republicans.

Obama will win on the Democrat side, because he is seen as the most outside-the-beltway candidate.

Good news about the turn out.

I just hope people look above and beyond the likeable factor. We need a real leader, one is who absolutely strong and smart enough to get us out of this mess.

I've seen almost all debates. Frankly, Obama almost always comes out in the safe middle. I didn't hear anything new. How long will the media give him a pass at explaining his stance? Will he be able to withstand the barrage of attack the republican's will hurl his way if he gets the nomination? From flip flopping on issues to missing a vote in the senate. Past drug use doesn't help either.

My biggest concern for him is I feel he is very naive on issues and he hasn't really truly explained himself. What would his foreign policy be? Will be able to stand toe to toe with Putin, Sarkozy and the likes?

As much as unpopular Hilary had become, I am more than confident she'll be able to fulfill that role. I've seen her campaign in New York. I would say I am impressed by her resolve, her intelligence, her stance. She has a mind of her own. She's no push over. We need a strong leader now more than ever.

I simply don't see that in Obama nor Edwards (who appears to be allying himself with Obama in the hopes perhaps of a VP spot).

Hillary is not out of this race, and she should not be losing momentum! This is a big country, and two states hardly decide the nominees. Obama is too inexperienced. He just doesn't have the years in politics that Clinton does to run America in a time of war. I think he is starting to come across as egotistical, and unappealing to the masses.

It seems like the ultimate race will be between Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Romney, Huckabee, and McCain. May the best person be elected because they are the right person for the job, not merely because of the trials and tribulations of each of their respective campaigns.

The issue that should be most important to all Americans is international terrorism. If we are all dead are any of the other issues even relevant?

Re: Hillary for President - she is probably the most qualified of the lot in either party. The issue that concerns me is this: we live in a country where conservatively half of the population intensely dislikes or even loathes the Current Occupant. I am one of these people. I know firsthand that it is not good for the USA when this dynamic is in place. If Hillary is elected we will simply be swapping wich half of the country hates the president. More than anything we need someone that can bridge the Great Divide that exists in America today. We can't hope to solve the serious problems that face us today if we can't even talk with one another. Imagining the Clintons back in the White House is as horrifying a thought for some as ever having the Bushes back there is for others. It's time to look forward and Obama is the one to take us there.

I just don't see what experience she is referring to other than her senate time - which she made happen by moving to a new state with lots of electoral votes I might add!

The larger the turnout, the more it benefits McCain and Obama. Obama is going to be the BIG winner tonight. And it looks like he is going to win by 12-15% points (unbelievable). McCain also looks like he is going to win by a strong showing(7-8%). Independents are breaking more to the democrates than republicans, but it looks like the independents are going to represent about the same percentage of the republican vote as they did in 2000.

From the democratic side, Clinton looks like her showing is going to be dismal tonight. Not enough to come in third but a little to close for comfort.

On the republican side, Huckabee is looking like he may pull a strong third place showing. Romney has solidified his base but the turnout is hurting his cause. Giuliani is not having a good day.

It's time America takes a reality pill, and realizes that if Obama has very little, if no chance of getting in the White House....the Republicans will just rip him apart on his experience. If you want to let the Republicans have the White House for another 4 years, then go ahead and vote for Obama!

As I drove around town after voting, it was absolutely unbelievable how many people are voting today!! We in northern NH are enjoying a beautiful 58 degree day and I'm sure thats helping but the enthusiasm has been strong for weeks now. I expect to hear tomorrow that 500,000 voters turned out, a lot for a state with a total population way under 2 million. My personal thank you to every one who did their duty today!! My guess----dems--1.O'bama-2.Clinton-3.Edwards----reps--1.McCain-2.Romney-3.Huckabee.
I personally voted for McCain. These are some of the reasons: 1. As a POW in Vietnam, he refused to be sent home from captivity early just because his father was an Admiral. 2. Whether you like the war or not, his surge is making it possible to start reducing troop levels much faster than would otherwise have been possible. It's actually working!! 3. He-probably more than any of the other 99 Senators-votes against his party when they are wrong!!4. As much as I would like to see all 20 million illegal aliens get tossed out of here on their asses, McCain wants to stop the inflow FIRST, and then create a pathway for the productive ones to become citizens and bounce the lawbreakers. This issue is the one I have to compromise on, but the most important part is to STOP THEM FROM COMING!!!!! 5.I believe him to be the most honorable and definitely the most patriotic of all the people running!! 6. In all likelihood, he will be a 1 term president.

Terry, Rochester, NY:

Eight years ago (2000) I was experiencing the single biggest annual loss in my retirement investment program in the 28 years I have been in it and the second negative year during the Clinton administration.

In 2001 and 2002 I experienced negative years also but they weren't as big combined as the two negative years during the Clinton administration.

The economy was proceeding toward a recession 8 years ago, just as it could be now after over 5 years of uninterrupted expansion.

Which all means absolutely nothing, just like pretending Hillary Clinton had something to do with it, good or bad. Or that Bill did, for that matter. Or that George Bush is single handedly responsible for the best five year stretch of retirement investment gains I've ever had.

And what's with the racist church remark? Bill Clinton was, after all, the first black president and surely wouldn't appreciate your implication, whether supporting his wife or not.
