Obama has run a brilliant campaign. He has not faltered in his thoughts, message, ground game, money raising, campaign management,etc. He has faced formidable challenges and running mates and has not faltered and has handeled it with grace, poise, honesty and maturity. Never forget he is not only running against the biggest, most entrenched,nasty, dishonest and meanest political machine in America and is winning! Obviously he got it RIGHT ON DAY ONE! The thought and knowledge and skill level he put together in his campaign strategy, hiring of employees etc has all been above board. His theme and platform has never faltered so give credit where credit is due. The Clinton's retheric of being ready on day was rings hollow and has been proved wrong.

Question--if its okay for Obama to hit Hillary on an issue that she wasn't in the Senate for, didn't vote for (NAFTA), then chide her for "running around and saying how great it was" (from his GM plant speech)when Pres. Clinton signed it into law...........

Then why isn't it okay for Hillary (and even Pres. Clinton) to chide Obama for running around, supposedly speaking out against the war (though he wasn't in the Senate, didn't vote for, against, or 'present'), but then voting to keep funding it every time?

There were plenty of other people who didn't vote for the war AND didn't vote to fund it.

Why is it that Hillary doesn't want to be connected with Bill Clinton's NAFTA however does want his accomplishments and experience. She wants the best of Clinton but not the worst. She also wants Bill's connections for Superdelegates and money. She shouldn't be allowed to have it both ways.

Let's take a closer look at who's really qualified and or who's really working for the good of all of us in the Senate. Obama or Clinton.

Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term - 6yrs. - and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law - 20 - twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.
These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress www.thomas.loc.gov, but to save you trouble, I'll post them here for you.
1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.
2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.
13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.
15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton's bills are, more substantive.
16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.
17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11 18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.
There you have it, the fact's straight from the Senate Record.
Now, I would post those of Obama's, but the list is too substantive, so I'll mainly categorize.

During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced

233 regarding healthcare reform,

125 on poverty and public assistance,

112 crime fighting bills,

97 economic bills,

60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,

21 ethics reform bills,

15 gun control,

6 veterans affairs and many others.
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These inculded **the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - became law, **The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law, **The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, **The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, - became law, **The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.
In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to some who would prefer that this comparison not be made public.
He's not just a talker.
He's a doer.

Pass it on....It's impressive

Poor confused Hillary. She touts her "white house years" as a key to her experience. Yet when failures of that time is laid bare she claims I was not in the Senate you can not count that against me.( NAFTA) How convenient to claim all the success and none of the failures of her experience. Sounds like George Bush who never admits a mistake. Now is the time for an end to dynastic politics.

This is from Caller.com......

ROBSTOWN -- When Robstown beat out Corpus Christi as the host city for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign rally, many wondered why.

Size? Location? Cost? Hispanic population? The answer depends on whom you ask.

Clinton's Texas spokeswoman Adrienne Elrod said via e-mail Thursday that Robstown's Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds was chosen because it was big enough to accommodate the large crowd that Clinton would attract and it was available. She would not elaborate.

But an American Bank Center official says the final choice of the Robstown fairgrounds over the Corpus Christi site, which was also available, was based on drawing in the maximum number of Hispanic voters.

"We were told it had nothing to do with cost. It was strictly they were courting the Mexican-American vote and they felt it was stronger down in Robstown," said American Bank Center general manager Marc Solis.

So let me get this straight....
Hillary only went to Robstown because that's where the Mexican Americans live....

If a republican had said that, they would have been dragged through the mud....

For the not so bright lady in Maryland.....Obama couldn't vote against war costs one the war started. Doing so, would put troops at risk. If Clinton hadn't voted so eagerly for the war, Obama wouldn't have to support bills to protect troops that CLinton put in harms way.

Russ Elba, NY — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:07:18 GMT

So, by this standard, Hillary can't claim her White House stay as experience. Either she equally claims the failures, disgraces and crises of their previous Administration as she does its accomplishments, or she claims neither. This is another instance of cherry-picking. "She's tough, experienced in DC, battle-tested." She's crying, she's a new direction, the press is picking on her.

BTW, I saw an interview with President Clinton, in which he said he couldn't defend her, but could promote her. "The press is picking on her" sounds like defending her. And he has a right to defend his wife, but he shouldn't be saying one thing and doing the other. Given his past campaign statements, has anyone on the staff clued him in on the invention of recording devices?

Obama supporter, SC — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:09:58 GMT

A response the message above. Look it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Hillary supported NAFTA whether she voted for it or not. That is the downside of having Bill as her husband. The difference is Obama called against the war from the start even though he wasn't in the congress but the Clintons are saying that he actually was for the war just like Hillary. And it’s obvious he was not. So that is a lie, (same ol' politics right). Also to all you stupid Hillary supporters he voted to fund the war after it were clear Bush was not going to bring them out. He felt that if they are going to be there then they must have the best in equipment and things like that to protect themselves. It did not mean he was for the war he was still against it. This is what’s wrong with this race the Clintons are still in this race clearly off of people who are loyal to them Obama is new. Why can't voters look past the loyalty and really think about there votes.

CJ — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:11:49 GMT

Obama has been against the Iraq decision since day one plus nobody will hold funding the war against anyone b/c only until the most recent vote...for political reasons did Clinton not vote to fund it (MoveOn.org..the most antiwar group out there supports Obama). The American people have concluded troops must always be funded despite disagreements, it falls on the president to end the war policy. Unfortunately we all know Bush ducked that responsibility completely. How many times must this be repeated for posters like your raider.

Ching Ching, Atlanta, GA — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:15:46 GMT

Now, Bill was calling Obama a "fairy tale". I think the real fairy tale is NAFTA, which he signed when his wife was the First Lady. If Bill is the frontman for Hillary and he signed into law a bill that has caused this nation to suffer, who wants another Clinton to veto any objection to her hubby's bills.

It's time for a fresh face, fresh ideas and a new man in the oval office. Hillary is too unstable. One day she is saying one thing, and when she sees that the votes are slipping away she will change her mind and try to go with the flow...now that is POLITICS.

Who is she trying to kid? Not only does Clinton have to win Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania, she has to win them BIG to get any sizeable amount of delegates out of them.

If they stay within 5-10%, then Obama wins, even if he gets fewer delegates or fewer votes. The problem for Clinton is that they are running to be the President of the -United States- of America, not just the "Big States" of America...

Listening to Hillary Clinton gush at her broad base of support with party big shots in Ohio reminds me of simular comments she was making last fall in regard to Maryland.
Maryland is a state where Hillary enjoyed the support of the Governor, both Senators and many other party luminaries.
Supposed broad support among Carholics, working class democrats, women & seniors.
After her defeat there by a 3-2 margin it would appear as though the voters are theones that matter. Not the big shots.
Obama carried all major demographics other than white women over 60.
I am sure that in the face of this leading indicator she has to be feeling soooo goooood as to sacrifice Wisconsin in favor of shoring up support in Ohio.
Stay tuned.

"Obama has run a brilliant campaign" certainly in riding a wave of black racism based on skin color, supported by left wing liberals and the media.

McCain has said Obama is all "platitudes" and "singularly lacking in specifics." Obama won't debate the issues with Hillary Clinton - he's running and hiding from debates with her because he lacks substance and specifics on the issues. And he is countering with dishonest personal, cheap shot attacks.

Hillary Clinton is the most qualified for Day One in the White House to be commander-in-chief and be the inspiring leader to make change real with her experience, qualifications and her specific solutions on the issues.

Speaking of cherry picking statements.....

Someone still hasn't explained why Obama continued to vote for the war, but was against it.

If it was to support the troops, why then did he start voting against funding last year (you know, when he started running for President)?

And what's the difference between someone who 'eagerly' votes for the war (though I don't agree Clinton was that), or for someone who hesitantly votes for the war? A yes is a yes, a no is a no. There's no 'present' allowed.

Kevin, PA — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:43:50 GMT

She can't have it both ways like everyone else is saying. If she is going to use Bill's WH years as experience than she also has to take the bad that comes along with those years of "experience".

The second point is they have made it very clear that Bill will be there to "bounce questions off of" and "to advise". I think we need to take into consideration on who she will be getting advice from.

Don't fear change people...embrace it!

Not much light has been shed on the impact Texas Republicans may have on the Mar. 4 Democratic primary. With the Republican presidential primary race over for all intents and purposes, and with no competitive statewide primary campaigns on the Republican side, many may cross over to vote in the Democratic primary. Texas Republicans have been especially stung by criticisms of George W., and would see a return of the Clintons to power as an unconscionable rebuke that they can prevent on Mar. 4. In this reddest of states, such a protest vote could dwarf even the most powerful of the Democratic constituencies.

Also, how can you say that she is the most qualified on Day 1 when she ran her campaign fund dry and had to loan herself more money? Is that how she's going to fix our economy?

It looks like another Iraq, Pres. Clinton thought it would stimulate the economy, but we now know there are reprocussion. Life isn't fair to the middle class why should it be fair to business.

Both the candidates are good. Obana is good speaker and no one knows what he can really do. Hillary is good too. I suspect she will be good in solving problems. The main problem for Obama is that US is not ready for a president of a different race yet. People may not tolerate a first lady who is of different color. This will change after 30 years. It is highly propable that Obama will not be allowed to function smoothly as a president and may also find himself framed into some disaster by scheming people around. So my vote for now will go to Hillary.

Hillary is. as is McCain although I think he is too old to be going for president even though I am a white woman over 60 I don't think he should try for president becausehe is now 71 years old. it is not good. Hillary is the most experienced in the ways of politics, she is the most patriotic and has been since her teen and before years. she has always been for america when obama didn't even live here. He is too young. I think he may be okay for the next president but not this one. I am still miffed that our caucus votes don't count as delegates. and florida's either. that is not fair.

I like both Clinton and Obama and will vote for either of them in the General Election: 1 Thing bugs me about the perception of Obama. 1)Hillary was elected in 2000 in NY, served a full term and than ran for president, Obama was elected to serve Illinois in 2004 and served only 2 years and announced his bid.. A lack of commitment to the voters of Illinois (opportunist). 2) Obama was a state senator in Illinois while Hillary was in the Senate getting the faulty intelligence and voted for authorization. Obama was a state senator against the war, look up who your state senator is and imagine yourself caring what his or her opinion of the war. He wasn't in the senate, his opinion back then was irrelevant as mine or yours.

Whoever is raider Dem and crat3, oh and Hillary vote 08, ok Obama is winning among WHITE men, not just black people. You should get your story straight. He's winning among white educated people too. Hillary is winning among the poor people and lower educated. If anything she is winning by the women voters voting for her because she is a woman. Obama is winning everyone, not just one demographic group. Oh the ignorance that comes with politics is ridiculous. Obama and Hillary both have experience. At least Obama has a personality and character. Hillary is a cardboard box that thinks inside the lines. Obama thinks outside of the box and goes farther. This whole mess is an embarrassment. People should do their homework before making ignorant statements about elected officials. Obama will beat McCain, Hillary doesn't stand a chance against those conservatives. Obama is winning in the independents as well. Look whatever people want to believe and post is up to them, but hey thanks to our forefathers, America speaks for itself. It has and it will continue. Hillary shows disbelief when she speaks, she is begging the audience. Obama excites his audience. He shows the people that we control the government, not that the government is suppose to control us. He gets people out and voting and excited to take part in their civic duty. COME ON AMERICA, GET REAL, QUIT WITH THE IGNORANCE AND DO YOUR RESEARCH. Obama hasn't changed his stance at all from day one. Hillary will say and do whatever it takes to win the nomination. Obama won't yield for anything. Hes fighting for what he believes in. For the people that don't believe in him, open your heart and your mind. This is 2008!!! Hillary has been part of many hidden agendas. Obama is a politician and sometimes bills are passed. If a war was going on he didn't want to see the soldiers suffer, so him voting to help them out isn't a bad thing. It shows what type of character he possesses. A passionate one.

I am over 60 and think McCain is too old. Remember Regan? He was in the beginning stages of altzheimer's.
Perhaps McCain should be tested to see where he's at.

Obama is not glorified at all. He has stated that the country needs to be ran by the constitution. He believes in the constitution. He uses cliches, this is a campaign. Its better than Hillarys virtual begging the question now. Obama is a wonderful orator, yes, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have plans for the economy and how to fix our problems. They are in description on his website, take a look. But what he doesn't do is what everyone else does and stand up and say this is what I will do, I will give you a million dollars if you vote for me, then when you vote for him he gives you nothing, like all of the other politicians. Hillary says shes going to do this and that, which is the regular politics in this country. That doesn't mean jack. Obama tells you what he will fight for and he will. Obama is not a stupid man by any means, remember he is a freshman senator with a ticket to the WHITE HOUSE. Thats impressive. He is strategic and wouldn't hurt our economy but lift it up. People have literally become oblivious ignorant fools, turning away a brilliant individual because there must be something wrong with him if he went to Harvard Law School, fought as a community organizer in Chicago, served as a civil rights attorney, in the Illinois state senate, and then in the US Senate. Come on people, Obama is a dreamer, and thats what it takes. Dare to dream with an intelligent dreamer who has the brains and strategy to lead this country to something better. Get over yourselves. You could do no better. Obama has heart and soul and the will to unite this country. Not all politicians are in it for themselves. He already has money and a good career. Why would he waste his time? He wants to benefit this country in the best place he could offer his services, in the WHITE HOUSE. VOTE OBAMA 08!!!!

I'm not sure how to interpret Hillary's position on NAFTA. During her husband's presidency she publicly supported NAFTA, but now her aides say we shouldn't count her positions as First Lady because she was forced to publicly support her husband. They suggest that in private, she actually was uncomfortable with NAFTA. Yet she did "stand by her man" and didn't voice any public doubts at that time.

Here's the problem I see: We're asked to credit Hillary for the good things that happened during Bill Clinton's presidency (and clearly she did play a significant role in that administration) but then discount any bad elements as "not her fault." Truthfully, I think it would be more fair if she simply ran on her own record of what she's done in her 7 years in the Senate. If she wants to discuss the era of her husband's presidency, then she needs to own up to her public positions during that time instead of trying to have it both ways.

If Sen. Clinton simply focused on her 7 years as an elected official, and Sen. Obama could then discuss his 11 years as an elected official, we'd have a more clear debate as to these 2 candidates actual positions on the issues.

"And what's the difference between someone who 'eagerly' votes for the war (though I don't agree Clinton was that), or for someone who hesitantly votes for the war? A yes is a yes, a no is a no. There's no 'present' allowed."

"It depends on what your definition of 'IS' is."

There's a big difference.

Senator Clinton voted to grant President Bush authorization for the use of military force (read the legislation, that's what it was, spin or not)as he saw fit. While her 'signing statement' speech might detail her wishes, she voted 'yes' nonetheless. Had more people stood their ground and voted 'no' in the face of pressure, there would be no need to vote on funding the troops. That's the difference. Supporting the funding of troops after the fact is different than voting 'yes' to giving a determined President Bush the power of sending them into combat. Trying to say its the same is like trying to say that sending money to safeguard the troops is equal to sending them there in the first place.

If Hillary wins the nominee, McCain will definitely benefit. He is going to blow her away. She lacks expereince, orgainazation skills, character, honesty, unity, and motivation. On the other hand Obama is all of the above. He is the only candidate that has drawn people from all walks of life in the biggest and brightest way. He has captured new voters, independents voters strongly, and republicians by far. He is the right decision for November 2008.

Let me start by saying I'm not for the war as it stands presently. The original premise for engaging in it was two fold, #1 to eliminate Sadam Hussein from his dictatorial power over those he didn't like. #2 Weapons of mass destuction were never found. It seems to me we satisfied the original reasons for going there in the first place, so at this point in time is when we should have left the area. the initial reasons for going in the first place were satisfied.
As far as Senator Obama is concerned, I'm going to vote for him because he has demonstrated the ability to bring all factions of humanity together. He appears to be honest, sincere , and dedicated to bringing this country back from disaster.
Hillary is a wonderful person and also dedicated to our country but she is the wife of a former president and i firmly believe he will be involved to an extent we cannot afford to allow.
all I ask is to listen intently to what is said and then vote for the one who best fits your idea of who will bring this wonderful country of ours back from chaos.

Guys I really have no problem with the Clinton's since I was a Bill Clinton supporter but let's be honest, they have a problem telling the whole truth. They have never really been for the working class just look at their inner circle.

I've met people who's children have gone to school with Chelsea, they say that Chelsea is very nice but Hillary is rude, cold, and very unapproachable.

In response to:

All you Democrats supporting Obama is out of your minds. He will NEVER WIN THE WHITE HOUSE. The Republicians will not let him. Someone should investigate. We don't know the real truth about this man. Is this (Obama wins) a reality or simply dirty politics exploted by republicans. Is repuplican really funding Obama so that they have a weaker democratic candidate? Then, Why so many republican senators endorsing Obama? Also, you silly cult of Obama followers take a look at this:http://www.thecityedition.com/Pages/Archive/Winter08/PDFfiles/2008Election.pdf

I think the point that this person is missing is the fact that, say what you want, Obama hasn't been vetted, hasn't been tested, can't win against McCain, etc., he has tapped into a legitimate desire for change in this country. You may not consider him a legitimate candidate, but millions of people around the country are using their votes to say that they want change in how things are done in Washington. That is not a fairy tale. Major unions are backing Obama. Why would "average" workers put their faith in someone they don't take seriously and think he will be capable of doing a good job representing their interests? Obama has tapped into something that was already there; it's not something he's created out of thin air.

The US is in an economic crisis and cancelling NAFTA would not be smart. Canada is the USA's largest trading partner and it's biggest supplier of oil(1.6 million barrels a day).

It's in everybody's best interests to have Mexico raise it's standard of living to make it a more viable place for it's own citizens to remain.

Torpedoing NAFTA would give huge advantages to the SE Asia trading bloc and the European Union. Wake up folks if they get the upper hand current job losses will seem pale in comparison.

Fact Check: Sen. Obama, Exelon and Rezko
2/12/2008 1:31:21 PM

The Obama campaign produced a "fact check" that claimed:

1. Sen. Obama did not water down a bill requiring disclosure of nuclear leaks after pressure from a major contributor

2. Obama did "nothing wrong" related to Tony Rezko

3. There are no unanswered questions about Sen. Obama's relationship with Rezko

All three claims are false.

First, Sen. Obama did waterdown legislation requiring the nuclear industry to disclose leaks after receiving pressure from Exelon, one of his top campaign contributors. The New York Times reported:

A close look at the path his legislation took tells a very different story. While he initially fought to advance his bill, even holding up a presidential nomination to try to force a hearing on it, Mr. Obama eventually rewrote it to reflect changes sought by Senate Republicans, Exelon and nuclear regulators. The new bill removed language mandating prompt reporting and simply offered guidance to regulators, whom it charged with addressing the issue of unreported leaks.

…“Senator Obama’s staff was sending us copies of the bill to review, and we could see it weakening with each successive draft,” said Joe Cosgrove, a park district director in Will County, Ill., where low-level radioactive runoff had turned up in groundwater. “The teeth were just taken out of it.”

… The campaign acknowledged that Exelon executives had met with Mr. Obama’s staff about the bill…

Second, Obama himself admitted that he made a "mistake" involving Tony Rezko:

Two years ago, the two men were involved in a real estate deal that Obama later apologized for, calling it "boneheaded'' and a "mistake'' because the transaction occurred while Rezko was widely known to be under federal investigation. Rezko's wife paid full price for a vacant lot in Chicago's historic Kenwood district on the same day Obama bought the mansion next door from the same property owner for $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife subsequently sold a sliver of the land to Obama.
Third, Sen. Obama's hometown newspaper, The Chicago Tribune, said that Obama needs to disclose more about his relationship with Tony Rezko:

Instead, as we've said, Obama has been too self-exculpatory. His assertion in network TV interviews last week that nobody had indications Rezko was engaging in wrongdoing strains credulity: Tribune stories linked Rezko to questionable fundraising for Gov. Rod Blagojevich in 2004 -- more than a year before the adjacent home and property purchases by the Obamas and the Rezkos.

One more time, Senator:

You need to divulge all there is to know about that relationship. Until you do, the journalistic scrubbing and opposition research will intensify. You should have recognized Rezko as a political seducer of young talent.

Eric Zorn, frequently cited in other Obama "fact checks," agrees:

But journalists are still looking because they're not satisfied that they have the full story.

And that's Obama's fault. At some point early in his campaign for the White House, he apparently decided he'd said all he wanted to say and all there was to say about his dealings with Rezko. He would not grant follow-up interviews on the subject to investigative reporters, and his staff provided written and often inadequate responses to written questions.

Michigan holds Primaries NOT caucus's.

If you are this misinformed about your own state's rules, and the accomplishments of the candidates, I strongly suggest you do more research before Nov.

Additionally, I Boycotted the MI primary intentionally, for lack of choice/representation. If they attemtpt to seat delegates from a 'no-choice' primary. I will hit the streets hard in protest. MY voice was not heard. My choice was not available. that is true disenfranchisment.

In agreement with raider dem - if Obama wants to start playing hardball, then he should expect it back twicefold - because not only is Hilary formidable, but she actually participates in votes in Congress. We don't want another president who's going to say they are going to get things done and then go on vacation. Obama has missed many congress votes, what makes you think he's ready for Day 1.

"Never forget he is not only running against the biggest, most entrenched,nasty, dishonest and meanest political machine in America and is winning!" To say this is ignorance - those words used to describe Hilary are obviously not backed, because if you have seen her political record - you would know that she always strives to be involved in all issues - as for Obama - I wouldn't be surprised if he knew what issues to combat besides the war and the means to get them done.

And say Obama wins the democrat ticket - its another four years of the Republican party.

Darrius, Arkansas — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:23:16 GMT

I just want to point out the Hillary Clinton can't catch Obama even if she wins Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Even if the polls don't tighten and she wins with the poll numbers that are out today (which she won't). Just do some quick over simplified math.

The poll number out Feb. 14 read as follows....

Texas - Clinton 49%, Obama 41% (Texas Credit Union League Feb. 14)
Ohio - Clinton 55%, Obama 34% (Quinnipac Feb. 14)
Pennsylvania - Clinton 52%, Obama 36% (Quinnipac Feb. 14)

If the delegate count works out according to those numbers, which I admit is an oversimplification, which are all premature and therefore Clinton friendly you get the following divides.

CLINTON
(Texas)193 x 49% = 94.57
(Ohio)141 x 55% = 77.55
(Penn)158 x 52% = 82.16

95 + 78 + 82 = 255

OBAMA
(Texas)193 x 41% = 79.13
(Ohio)141 x 34% = 47.94
(Penn)158 x 36% = 56.88

79 + 48 + 57 = 184

If Hillary won at the current poll percentages then she would net 71 delegates. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. Obama is leading by the pledged delegate count by about 150. If she did that Obama would still have about 80 more pledged delegates; and that is assuming that he does not win Wisconsin, or Hawaii on Feb. 19, 2008.

Before I could finish writing this post I see that a poll just released today that show Obama leading by 4 points in Texas. (ARG)

There wouldn't even be a broker convention if Florida and Michigan wasn't stripped of their delegates .Alot of this mess is the blame of the DNC.There shouldn't even be caucuses ,they all should be primaries where everybody has a chance to vote all day long .And 100%of the voters have a opportunity not just 30%in a caucuses.Its wrong for the news media to say super delegates will deside this election when 2 states held primaries and their votes won't count .The republicans let their votes count so that created a bias mess .But before its over Michigan and Florida will have to be counted because either these two states will decide or the super delegates will .I think the american public would want the voters to decide .

I find it funny that the Clinton people are against caucuses because the Obama people are better organized.

Hillary Clinton claimed that she was better able to run an organization. The caucuses make it painfully obvious that in fact Obama is better able to run an organization than she is.

Hillary's wins have come in places where organization doesn't have the time to overcome name recognition. In places where organization has the time and strength to take effect, Obama wins.

OK....This is for Obama08....I did an analysis of the website and what each sponsored. While I used the 7yr tenure of Hillary and the 3 year tenure of Obama, I did find some dramatic things of what they focus on. Hillary had definite advantage in her focus towards health, but also focus more on the family and social issues, the economy (including the mortgage crisis), Agriculture(which suprised me since Obama's from Illinois), and foreign affairs then what Obama did. Obama's focus did have some focus towards health care, but had a definite advantage over Hillary in Energy, Consumer Safety, Restricting Lobbying, and Corporate Fraud. They were about equal on Education,Veterans Affairs, Defense, Proverty (only a slight advantage to Hillary), and the War on Terror. However, the one that suprised me the most is that Hillary has sponsored 3 bills related to getting us out of Iraq and Obama has sponsored only 2. For a canidate who has put so much focus on how wrong the war was, why didn't he sponsor more bills? And finally, Hillary was the only one to sponsor a bill related to equal rights. That's kind of strange too.
