This is exactly the kind of politics Obama is trying to change. If by some chance she is the nominee, I will both vote for McCain and leave the democratic party.

P.S. Why don't we have federal legislation to hold candidates accountable for their lies and deceptions? Bush lied the nation into war, and now we are trying to be deceived into voting for a Hillary Clinton Administration. Hold both Obama and Hillary ACCOUNTABLE for lying to votes. Voters are the judges and their votes are like the votes of the Supreme Court justices, so they should be held in ontempt of voters.

Edwards, Dean, Dodd, Biden, and Gore need to step in and put her down. If they don't soon, it could spell significant trouble for the Democratic Party. And it will be Hillary's fault.

NEW OHIO AD: Hillary Will Stand Up For Hardworking Families Who Are Too Often Overlooked
COLUMBUS, OH- Hillary outlines her commitment to stand up for hardworking Ohioans who are too often overworked, underpaid and overlooked in a new ad airing statewide in Ohio today.

The 30- second television spot titled "Night Shift," outlines Hillary’s agenda to provide all American families with access to quality, affordable health care, increased day care and help with elder care.

To view the ad, click here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=w7g0NxL2g-M

Following is a script for "Night Shift."

[Announcer:] You pour coffee, fix hair, you work the night shift at the local hospital. You're often overworked, underpaid, and sometimes overlooked.

But not by everyone.

One candidate has put forth an American family agenda to make things easier for everyone who works so hard.

Universal healthcare.

Increased daycare.

And help with elder health care.

She understands. She's worked the night shift, too.

[HRC:] I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message

Even though Clinton has excess baggage and an abrasive personality, she may make a better president than Obama. The more I hear this barack speak and his supporters wail, the less substance appears. Clinton may not have a chance against McCain in the general election, but at least we would know her positions and personality. Obama is cloaked in a sphere of mystery and a cloud of wonderment, but there may not be any substance to him. As some have expressed we may not find the wizard behind that curtain. As Dorothy found that the wizard was a snake oil salesman and part time fortuneteller we may find that Obama is a puff of fresh air that turns stale. As the general election approaches the curtain will be pulled back and many independents may flock to McCain as a sure bet. Here in Texas (For a long time we have had no presidential commercials) we have national presidential campaign commercials and Obama has not impressed me with his efforts.

40 Years a Democrat-NPLer, Bismarck, North Dakota — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:21:33 GMT

It will be a waste of Democrat money - in fact, it will be Democrat money spent to help John McCain. Hillary is already defeated. Even if she wins the popular vote in Texas, which is very doubtful, Obama will win the majority of delegates there because his campaign is so much stronger and smarter than hers.

Hillary should save everyone's money and quit. But failing that, she should at least not try so desperately to resurrect herself by tearing down the party's clear choice. She got 24% in Hawaii, 17% in Idaho, 25% in Kansas, 32% in Colorado, Nebraska, Washington and Minnesota. Hear the message, Hillary? You are rejected.

She's going to need all the help she can get against Obama's Internet funding machine. At last check he was raking in greenbacks at twice the speed she was.

Come on MSNBC, what about Obama's 527s? We could use a story profiling these groups on both sides. Key question, particularly for pro-Clinton 527s (only b/c Obama is kicking her butt right now): at what point would you be concerned with hurting the party's chances in November?

Superdelegate Boy '08 — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:23:12 GMT

In Hillary vs McCain…McCain wins. He will get tons of the male vote and some of the womens vote. Obama is winning now for some of the same reasons McCain would win against her. The male vote is strong right now and Hillary must be doing something wrong if her base of women is being compromised as well. Bill has become basically and idiot in this campaign, and he and Hillary are both now lightning rods because of their behavior.
Hillary galvanizes a split Republican party period! And I don't see her, especially the way she has handled herself in this primary, beating McCain. The Repub machine will draw off her meltdown in the primary and continue to expose the ridiculousness of their tag-team campaign stategy…something they cannot SPIN.
The Clinton's have been a disaster for the Dems. If Bill keeps his cigars to himself we wouldn't be in Iraq with a mounting trillion dollar deficit financed by China. And if Hillary was her own woman…(instead of sanctioning a tag-team effort with Bill to play the same ole' crap slinging politics that, ironically, bounced Romney out and McCain in) she would have put Bill on a leash and understood that AMERICA IS TIRED OF BUSH/CLINTON POWER PLAY POLITICS. These families are prima donna's that come in as if they have some kind of ENTITLEMENT to the Oval Office. NO MORE I SAY!!!

Now a Democrat is going to try and pull a Lee Atwater on a fellow Democrat and think they can win the general election following such a stunt?

Aargh, Senator John McCain is probably above such tactics. I figured the 527's would have a VERY hard time in the general election since Senator John McCain opposes them so vociferously. Unfortunately, Senator Clinton apparently has no such scrupples.

I hope Senator Clinton changes her mind. After all, the United States of America is her country too and dragging us all through the mud is so depressing. I might add I don't think it will work this year anyway.

It is disturbing that Obama has entered the mainstream of our lives and the media and has given him "carte blanche" in most everything he says or does. Hillary Clinton who has had been held to a higher standard and I am sure if she had only 2 years as a senator under her belt would be blasted and labeled as having no experience to even try.

She has been maligned up and down by the misogynist press and organizations such as MSNBC and others and it appears that nothing can stop it.

Why should it be so different between a bi-racial man and a woman candidate? Why are they not being looked at evenly handedly and why is so much about this woman about her spouse?
Had the exploits of the media been fair, I might have agreed, that the most popular should get the nomination; but now I ask, why shouldn’t Clinton take advantage of the super delegates? It has not been an even playing field, will continue not to be an even playing field; the primaries are not over and the fight has yet to begin. We are to stand behind the party for democracy and unite behind the popular candidate, why not the best candidate? Obama is an empty suit filled with empty promises and if nominated let alone elected will be bad for the Democratic party and for the Country. The stolen 2000 election changed us, and not for the better, this one could certainly end the Democratic party.

I am at a loss for words when I think about the (supposedly) intelligent people who are lining up in droves to join Obama's cult. Do you people not care anymore about our country than to vote in someone who is nothing more than an inspirational speaker. Funny, most of his supporters cannot name ONE single accomplishment of Obama's while in the Senate, as was proven by a fellow Senator from TX who is supporting Obama, last night on msnbc. When asked by Chris Matthews, he couldn't name a single accomplishment. This seems to be very common among Obama supporters. They're supposedly educated Dems., but you wouldn't know it.

Never Certain

You're looking at this news incorrectly. Where is Clinton going to get that kind of money in a week? Certainly not from the grassroots. No, this is big donor and foreign interest money - real hard to track - real hard to prove where it came from. Bill is working the phone real hard today for this money. People that have a vested interest in the Clintons winning, ie., the Clintons will pay them off once they are in office, those are the types of people that will give money. It will be illegal money, and some low-lifes that hedge the money for the Clintons will get caught and put in jail. But that's what it is all about with Bill and Hill, the little people take the fall for Clintons and their big-time contributors.

You need to report on REAL NEWS, ALso, you may want to let your readers know about Ms. CLintons upcoming leagal trouble with Peter Paul. I know she thought she would already have the nomination by now and so it would be a non issue, but things havn't worked out as she planned, and I think voters should be informed that a TRIAL DATE against Ms. Clinton will be set on this Thursday, just in time for the debate!

Clinton lost the nomination two weeks ago on Super Tuesday. I find it humorous that the media is still talking about her chances of becoming the nominee. Yeah, all she has to do is win 65% of all remaining delegates - something she's proven over and over again she cannot do.

ST, Houston, TX — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:56:09 GMT

I cannot believe that Clinton is playing right into Obama's hands like this. If she doesn't denounce the activity of this 527 forcefully (by putting an end to it at inception), she will only solidify the notion that she approves of the politics of ripping people down and divisiveness, which Americans (not just Democrats) are clearly fed up with. Obama will now very easily prove his point that Clinton is nothing more than the typical politician who values winning above all else and is inept in bringing people together. In other words, I honestly don't think that it will help Clinton short-term (especially by as much as she needs at this point).

Besides, even if (and that's an underscored "if") Clinton gets the Democratic nomination by allowing this 527 to effectively smear a fellow Democrat out of the running, I think it's safe to say that it will backfire on her BIG-TIME come November. I imagine a majority of Obama-supporters will easily sit the November race out...at least the Obama-supporters that I know certainly will.

I sincerely hope that this 527 goes away fast because it will prove counterproductive to Clinton. She's a smart, successful woman who shouldn't "need" the nomination this badly. It's completely distasteful (especially as an ex-First Lady), and it will hurt her standing with Democrats and non-Democrats alike. Wrong approach!!!

Hillary just loves to say "Come November 4th George W Bush's name will not be on the ballot" (Obama does too in fairness).

I simply can not wait to hear someone say:

"Come November 4th, for the first time in 28 years there will not be a Clinton or a Bush on the ballot!"

I'll be 37 on election day, my first memory that I can recall of a President is the Reagan/Carter election when I was in 3rd grade and we had a mock election. I had just turned 9. Nearly all my life there has been either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House.

Seriously. Do we really want to have another Clinton? Do you people really want:
Hillary Clinton 2008, 2012
Jeb Bush 2016, 2020
Chelsea Clinton 2024, 2028 (Billary need another 8 years!)
?!?!

It's time to move on.

Not everyone has voted yet, so Hillary should carry onward.

Meanwhile, Obama's wife, Michelle, has had an apparent slip of the tongue that has some of
the right wingers in a frenzy. Apparently, while speaking before a Milwaukee crowd Monday,
Michelle Obama said: "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am proud of my country and
not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."
(You can watch the video here)( http://www.breitbart.tv/html/49244.html )
I am very disappointment I see so many people who are not useing there heads And wanting to VOTE for Obama and his wife it makes me Sick that a Black person can get away with all this . and people can just forget it.
Is this something to be proud of."?

I watched this 527 ad provided by MSNBC and did not find anything wrong with it. These organizations may support a candidate,but are operating on their own. Obama-bots need to stop attacking Hillary Clinton and realize they need her supporters in order to win the nomination. I believe they have listened to their candidate say,"I will get her supporters, but I do not think she would get mine".
This is just more rhetoric to scare folks that are undecided to vote his way. A must-read article has been written in Newsweek by Robert Samuelson. This comes from an impartial point of view and is refreshing in its candor. I suggest these "Obama-bots" take a look. It might help to snap some these folks out of the spell being cast by the snake oil salesman.

I want to second an above post about the voting fraud in NYC. Why isn' this being reported??? 17 counties reported 0 votes for Obama in NYC, with heavy african american and affluent white voters. Mayor Bloomberg acknowledged fraud today as recounts show Obama even winning some of these counties! You must ask yourself who benefits? If it was one county it could be argued that it is a rogue element....but 17!!! So if you answer the why(of who it benefits) then that answer can only lead to one "who".

Hillary Clinton she is not being honest in her motives to be president. This rings particularly as hollows as it has always seemed to me that she felt all along that she was entitled to the presidency. This entitlement shows the yuppy attitudes of some very spoiled people from another Clinton era. Obama is right we need to go forward and not relive and all too idealized past presidency which; if we choose to remember; had some very serious problems and did virtually nothing or the "little guys", or anyone else while being impeached for three very long, sad years. Keep going Obama. Please not another BUSH/CLNTON nightmare.

Micheal D.,
What you don't understand, is that the majority of us intelligent people are just that - intelligent! We are very willing to put our hopes and country behind a candidate that wants to take the backroom, dirty dealings out of politics and give us some honest answers. And I believe if Obama doesn't know all the answers (which by the way, NO ONE does), he will turn to experts in the field and get the best advice available. What you fail to understand is that we are so sick of the sly, deceitful, scheming Clinton's, that we are that willing to put our faith in someone who at present is a breath of fresh air and appears open and honest to the American public

First let me say that Linda from San Diego - you are a bigot. You belong in the republican party.

Next, why are so many Clinton supporters so bitter. When Obama was 20 & 30 points down you didn't see this type of hate being spewed. In addition, unlike Linda from San Diego we are all Democrats who want the best for our country. If Obama wins, Hillary will play a key role in the senate OR as VP. If Hillary wins same thing for Barack.

Get a grip on yourselves. I think it's sad what I see going on. The most important thing is for Republicans to loose this election.

Think about it.

Obama policy and accomplishments: Please see his website. Read. Read. Read. It may take you a while. There is a lot of DETAIL. He has been in public service LONGER than Hillary. He has passed several important bipartisan bills (ethics, campaign finance, government contracts, Katrina legislation...). If you're one of those buying into Clinton's "talk" you're just as guilty. Do your own research for goodness' sake!

Sen Clinton just doesn't get it. The American people are tired of the bickering and the slander. We want what is best for our families not direct verbal accusation with whom you are running against. Sen. Obama sticks with the issues at round tables and meeting with people, then he gives motivation speeches, it is not just speeches but of course Sen. Clinton would like us to believe that. Sen. Obama only comes at Sen. Clinton when she attacks his campaign rightfully so. If she would leave the knit picking alone and loose some of the drama baggage she would be alright but she paints a risky picture of scandles and drama. Sen Clinton show the people what they want as far as your tax claims and the papers on the White House years and perhpas you can save yourself and campaign. Not too much to ask since you need the peoples votes.

Every campaign has its 527's. It's just not as common to set one up to fight a primary campaign. Quite telling don't you think? They can't get any new donors so they have to figure out a way to allow their richest existing fanatics to keep her sagging campaign hopes alive. It also indicates to me that Hillary is more than willing to destroy the Democratic Party to become president rather than accept the obvious.

Borrowed from a post by Jim Kelly (NY Conservative Campaigns) on http://buffalonews.typepad.com:

In her first term running for United States Senate, Clinton promised those suffering in Western New York ... Economic Development, More Jobs and to Repopulate this Region of NY.

Clinton was to do so by "Promoting" Western New York State to American Business! Clinton Promised Western New York 250,000 NEW jobs by the end of her first term (Promising to Promote WNY to American Business Corporations)....

End result.....by the time Clinton was running for her second term, Western New York LOST another 25,000 Jobs.

TO: Michael D., Charleston, SC

Do your homework he is just a couple of thing Sen. Obama has done to bad there is not enough pages on the Blog to list them all but you said no one can name one so here is two for you.
Education: He increased the maximum Pell Grant award to $5,100. As a member of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions committee, Obama helped pass legislation to achieve that goal in the recent improvements to the Higher Education Act. Obama has also introduced legislation to create Teacher Residency Programs and to increase federal support for summer learning opportunities.

Health Insurance: In 2003, Barack Obama sponsored and passed legislation that expanded health care coverage to 70,000 kids and 84,000 adults. In the U.S. Senate, Obama cosponsored the Healthy Kids Act of 2007 and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) Reauthorization Act of 2007 to ensure that more American children have affordable health care coverage.
Women's Health: Obama worked to pass a number of laws in Illinois and Washington to improve the health of women. His accomplishments include creating a task force on cervical cancer, providing greater access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, and helping improve prenatal and premature birth services.

We are no longer a nation of losers!

Why is Hillary Clinton losing the battle against Barack Obama to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for president? It’s all boiling down to which candidate has the best set of leadership skills for the 21st century. More Americans choose his set and reject hers.

We truly do deserve the government we get. And in this cycle, America feels they want, need, and deserve the leadership of Barack Obama. “It’s the People, Stupid,” who believe the time is right, and this is why so many of them, for the first time in a long while, are working nonstop to get him elected. Rather than being a “cult leader,” as the Clinton campaign so absurdly suggests, Barack Obama is in truth a “catalytic leader” because his is a transformational leadership whose mission is making the world a better place for the public good. The phrase was coined and described in the work of Dr. Jeffrey Luke of the University of Oregon. Professor Luke founded The Luke Center for Leadership: www.lukecenter.org. It seems Barack Obama has the very type of leadership style we need at this very moment of world history.

According to the Luke Center, “catalytic leadership style is based on a vision, building partnerships, collaboration, and passion.” It’s Obama’s leadership style that is representative of turning the page from the fights, divisions, and the blame game of the past to a brighter future of cooperation, unity, and real solutions for the 21st century. As a nation, we are ready and “fired up” because, rather than remaining stunned silent like deer caught in the headlights of our drivers-in-chief, we, the People have finally gained our wits. As such, we know we’re the deciders in ’08 and, at long last, we reject the George Bush-McCain autocratic style of “forcing your will upon others, not consulting with opposing voices, and falling prey to the supposed collective wisdom of a coterie that never disagreed with you” -- http://weneedobama.blogspot.com/2008/02/obama-profoundly-catalytic-leader.html failed policies and the Clintonian bureaucratic style of egocentric calculation, secrecy, and aggressive “gotcha, must-win-at-all-costs” failed strategies. The 20th century Bush-Clinton dynasties have failed us and must end! America is turning the page because Yes, We Can!

McCain is no different then Bush. Fear Fear Fear! If McCain thinks he can beat Obama with Fear and Smear, McCain is the one who is dillusional with Linda from Cali. Does any of these peopl see the numbers. Obama had over 600,000 votes in Wisconsin while McCain had a little over 200,000 votes. I forsee the biggest landslide victory that this country has ever seen come November. Obama 08!
