Democrats did a lot to help families in my area. Democrats just raised our sales tax (a regressive and anti-family tax) to pay for more of their corrupt government. More of the same can be expected from Clinton and her ilk.

Clinton is doing nothing short of vote buying.

Did she cry? Because if did not shed some crocodile tears that is a tell tale sign that she will lost Nevada.

Go Hillary!!! Hillary cares about the future of our country for ourselves and our children. She will work tirelessly to turn this country around because she BELIEVES it's worth fighting for, and she has the knowledge AND experience to get it done...that is the TRUE meaning of "HOPE" and "CHANGE"! Hillary For President!!!

I wonder if she mentioned to Latinos how Ronald Reagan was one of her favorite presidents?

Oh yeah. She'll work for the Hispanic people as long as it is politically convenient for her to do so. She's already thrown the african americans that worked so hard to get her husband into office under the bus in SC and likely everywhere else as a result.

I hope people see through this and will NOT vote for her. She is not electable, she is dishonest, and will do anything and everything to regain the power she feels is rightfully hers. Everything in that radio ad the last couple days is spot on.

I understand the freedom we have in this country to speak our mind and vote for the canadite of our choice, but lets get real. What has the Republicians done for us the past 7 years? Not much in my eyes. I am a working person and I make a good living, but gas prices and food prices eat up my paycheck, not to forget the housing prices. Lets give Hillary a chance and just see what she can do. It is time to give a woman a chance.

Barack Obama is a stand up guy who is fighting for his party’s nomination with Hillary Clinton and her husband who will say anything at anytime to anyone if they think it will help get them votes at the time, because they figure they can always change perceptions later by saying that’s not what I said, that’s not what I meant etc.
The Clinton’s have charged that Barack Obama’s position on the Iraq war is a “Fairy tale” or is “inconsistent” which as usual is only “Clinton politics.”
Senator Barack Obama, then an Illinois state senator, delivered these remarks October 2, 2002 at the Federal Plaza in Chicago:
“I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances. The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we could begin to perfect this union and drive the scourge of slavery from our soil.
I Don’t Oppose All Wars
I don’t oppose all wars. My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army.He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil.I don’t oppose all wars.After September 11, after witnessing the carnage and destruction, the dust and the tears, I supported this administration’s pledge to hunt down and root out those who would slaughter innocents in the name of intolerance, and I would willingly take up arms myself to prevent such tragedy from happening again.
Opposed to Dumb, Rash Wars
I don’t oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income, to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression.That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.
On Saddam Hussein
Now let me be clear: I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power…. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors…and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history.I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda.I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars. So for those of us who seek a more just and secure world for our children, let us send a clear message to the president.
You Want a Fight, President Bush? You want a fight, President Bush?
Let’s finish the fight with Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, through effective, coordinated intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, and a homeland security program that involves more than color-coded warnings.You want a fight, President Bush? Let’s fight to make sure that…we vigorously enforce a nonproliferation treaty, and that former enemies and current allies like Russia safeguard and ultimately eliminate their stores of nuclear material, and that nations like Pakistan and India never use the terrible weapons already in their possession, and that the arms merchants in our own country stop feeding the countless wars that rage across the globe.You want a fight, President Bush? Let’s fight to make sure our so-called allies in the Middle East, the Saudis and the Egyptians, stop oppressing their own people, and suppressing dissent, and tolerating corruption and inequality, and mismanaging their economies so that their youth grow up without education, without prospects, without hope, the ready recruits of terrorist cells.You want a fight, President Bush? Let’s fight to wean ourselves off Middle East oil through an energy policy that doesn’t simply serve the interests of Exxon and Mobil.Those are the battles that we need to fight. Those are the battles that we willingly join. The battles against ignorance and intolerance. Corruption and greed. Poverty and despair.”
Barack Obama delivered this powerful speech at the Federal Plaza in Chicago October 2, 2002 against the US beginning war in Iraq while later that same month Hillary Clinton voted for the authorization to begin US military action in Iraq. Once US troops were actually in Iraq and fighting a war, of course, it would be irresponsible for Obama to be against funding the troops. The key is that Barack Obama had the judgment to see the dumbness of the war in October 2002 and clearly said so. Hillary Clinton did not. Bill and Hillary Clinton’s tactic of trying to paint Obama’s war position as “a fairy tale” or as “inconsistent” clearly demonstrates why America badly needs the enormous breath of fresh air Barack Obama provides. At one time Senator Kerry from Nebraska referred to the Clinton’s as “clever liars” several years before President Bill Clinton told America: “I did not have sex with that woman!” Goodbye Bill and Hillary Clinton. Hello Barack Obama

Hillary will do anything to win an election. She has had 35 years experience. She is clever at turning the tables around. It wouldnt surprise me that if Hillary thought that she would lose the african-american vote she would reverse course and make it a race issue, hence whoooing to the white vote. Whatever it takes to get a vote is all that matters to Hillary & Bill

Slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow news day, huh 1st read. How about something about Hillary saying she'd been thinking about passing health care for 14 year's now. Since she said she decided in Decmember 2006 to run for President, this statement yesterday at a campaign stop kinda undercuts when that decision was made.Has she introduced Universal Health care legislation since becoming a Senator in 2001? She said a lot of New stuff last evening, that we have'nt heard to date. Is 1st read gonna report on these New proposals or just keep bringing up Old News that's been laid to rest already?

Barack Obama for President!!!!!!!!

If "family is the most important institution" to Hillary Clinton, why is her own family so painfully dysfunctional? Though this begs the question, are the Clintons a family or a strategic political alliance with an unrelenting clasp on power and influence? With her husband waging a host of malicious attacks on her rivals, Clinton's campaign thus far seems to suggest they are the latter.

For those who support Hillary, just remember she had her go at the job already when her husband was in the office(she was the unelected president behind the scene, remember ?). Did the Clinton administration produce miracles ? No. You already know she is just all talk and not much else. Wake up women ! There is nothing as pathetic as women voting for other women because they are after all, women. America can rise up to the occassion, as the world is watching. American people are not that pathetic enough to stay away from a man who they know deep down, is very capable and noble, just because his skin color is one shade darker than their own. You can do better than that. Show that you can to the world. They are watching.

From a woman who feels that the only woman in the race is not worth your vote.

If we wanted to elect a celebrity, then I guess it should be Oprah; Barack Obama came up from way behind after she rented a stadium and probably gave out prizes for his votes; Hillary has many many years of experience and has traveled abroad to other countries and understands foreign affairs; give her a chance and lets hope she can put this country in the surplus figures again and out from under this trillion dollar debt. I think its time for a change and lets take our heads out of the sand and vote for a woman who can get the job done.

Sorry, gotta say it! Hey Mark Murray, are you aware that you committed a faux pas with the "Latino voters" headliner?

As you may or may not be aware: When you say latino you are inferring the masculine version of the term, whereas, if you state "latina voters" you infer the feminine connotation.
The correct headline would have been:
Clinton Appeals to Latin Voters!

Hillary is the best candidate of either party. She will win this election single-handedly, and Obama might be her running-mate if he plays his cards right.

Just think, Mr. Obama, you could be in the White House for 12 years. After all, Hillary might be too old to run again!

One thing I hate about Obama supporters is how they seem to denigrate Dolores Huerta's opinions - like the lady is some loony.

What they dont know is Dolores Huerta/Cesar Chavez is to Hispanics what Rosa Parks/Matin Luther King is to Blacks.

Snide remarks against Huerta's stated opinions damaged Barack Hussein in so many Latino's eyes.

If Hillary gets the nomination I'm voting republican. The democratic party has become a walking talking hypocrisy. It is always sad that the candidates with the best message are generally the lowest in the poles. America, I suppose we reap what we sow.

Martin Edwin "Mick" Andersen, Churchton, Maryland — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 15:47:11 GMT

Democratic women and Latinos do not--in and of themselves--a winning November coalition make.

And therein lies the problem ... Hillary Clinton's inherited and narrow support among already committed Democratic voters makes a general election victory very iffy.

You need appeal to independents and a certain number of Republicans.

Even worse, the Clintons' polarizing figures make the prospect of their governing in 2009-2012 unappetizing indeed.

Accomplishing an agenda for change takes a village, not a round up of usual suspects.

Mark Easter — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 19:30:24 GMT

Mick got it right in the beginning of this discussion. It's not about whether you like Clinton or Obama more because the difference in their positions is negligible, and I suspect most Democrats will vote for whoever wins the nomination. The issue driving my vote is who can WIN the general election and effectively GOVERN after the race is over. That's Obama by far in my opinion! McCain will draw many Independents and probably split a lot of the older vote with Clinton. Barack Obama will draw more Independents, many new younger voters and even some Republicans. I know this because I’ve convinced several staunch Republicans to support Obama. Clinton doesn't have that broad-based appeal and that's what the country needs right now. She may win with 51% of the vote but that's not enough to form a governing majority (see the Senate). It's not her fault and much of the criticisms leveled against her are without merit, but the reality is that she is extremely polarizing which will continually paralyze the country throughout her presidency. You see, it’s fashionable for about half of this country to hate the Clintons, and because of that they will fight any and everything Hillary tries to do, no matter what it is. Democrats hate Bush too (for better reason of course) but gridlock is costly and wasteful, and we've had enough of that. Barack Obama is our only chance at REALIZING changes that will make government work for the people again. He's the only candidate who has asked the citizenry to get involved beyond just voting and he has championed transparency in government so major domestic policies are formed in C-span telecasts instead of backroom deals. Everyone else tells you to go shopping and not worry about the decisions they make, or don’t make, for you. Barack Obama is offering an open door to your government. If you don’t take it, have fun running up that credit card and someone will get back to you - if they feel like it.
