Mark Murray,
I already said many times: That is because Hillary is a SELF-CENTERED politician who, to ensure she reachs her personal ambitins, do anything to clench the nomination, no matter if it destroys the Democratic Party and gives the GOP a blessing by allowing it to paint the DNC as a corrupt, broken, divided party that cannot control its very divisive candidates.

I used to respect and watch MSNBC regularly. I used to record every Hardball and Countdown episode on my PVR but I must say I'm appalled by the quality of reporting of late. All the reporters and analysts have Obama tattooed on their foreheads and on their arms.

I can't stand Chris Matthews or Keith Olbermann any longer. I never knew the day will come when I will feel more informed watching Fox News but that is how bad it has become with MSNBC.

I can't hold my nose for 10 seconds and watch your coverage of the elections, it's asphyxiating.

Billary would not leave unless she'd be dragged out of the White House. Her Politics of Fear and Smear was successful in terms of winning two or three out of the last 15 contests (...).

Her problem: Even if she'd win, she lost a good part of the democratic base to nobody, Nader or McCain.

McCain was not bad tonight ... I would not feel bad voting for McCain instead of Billary.

She doesn't give two sh*ts about the party or anything else for that matter. I'd wager that she thanks God there are so many stupid working shlubs out there that think Obama is a Muslim (bad) and Bill was responsible for all the good things they've ever known (even if he signed NAFTA into law).

I doubt blacks (I am white) are voting for Obama for the same reason as Hillary. They udnerstand history, and the "fairy tale" is a code for racists in the 1960's, if you will. I have read in which many blacks doubted Obama's candidacy and favored Hillary (all of my black male friends voted for Hillary in Iowa, though they know support Obama) until Bill's aggressive race biating become public.
But Ohio's whites are voting for Hillary by listening to her fear mongering and race biating, thus making themselves racists. Blacks don't even want to be accused in history of voting against a multiracial man. But there are also issues like the war and the economy that blacks feel Obama is best positioned to address.
Now, shut up accusing them of racism while overlooking our country's LONG, UGLY history.

Michael,
How do you know "all the reporters and analysts" have Obama tatoos?
Have you studied or researched how the media treated Bill Clinton during his presidential campaigns in the 1990's?
For me, the media seems to favor Bill much more than Obama when you compare this year's campaign to that of the 1990's. You need to also note that much of the reporting on Hillary's activities (mostly negative) is not done by MSNBC, but the NY Times that endorsed Hillary.

Change = fear for many people. I think this is why many want Clinton. They know what's in the future with her: MORE OF THE SAME! Look at the voter demographics though. The higher educated are opting for Obama. Could it be that they can see the positive benefits of Obama's offer of change. That they see through Hillary's facade? The fact that Obama attracts this group really ought to tell people something. Power and divisiveness in Washington is Hillary and Bill's thing. If you believe Hillary will follow through on changing the structure in Washington, then I have a bridge to sell you. Get It?

Afraid to give the leader who is supposedly best qualified the chance to lead and at the same time desiring a new direction, America showed its hypocrisy.

Gerion,
The issue is that Hillary Clinton, her husband and the DLC have chosen to revert to their Bull Connor, governor Wallace, David Duke roots.
It is time for Barack Obama to stand as a man or to submit as a slave to the democratic party & the modern American feminist movement.
He did not initiate this war, they did.
Either he stands and fights or meekly submits.
I gather you are one of those that believe that all Israel need to do to have peace with the Palestinians and the Arabs is just give a little more.
Same thing here.
Fight for your rights or submit as a slave.
Decide which side you are on because it is civil war now within the democratic party and the gloves are coming off.

Fred C Dobbs Sierra Madre, CA:
Where is the veracity in this story that makes you conclude that Obama was party to this or lied about anything? If you weren't so pro-Hillary you might actually consider the facts...
1. Mr. Goolsbee (an economic, not political, advisor)was approached without the knowledge of the campaign and with no actual authority to speak on its behalf.
2. The memo is supposedly written by the Canadians and represents their consul member's interpretation of what was said. The evidence being presented is a copy of a teletype document, NOT a recording of what actually was said. We don't even know if it's real or something doctored for political purposes.
3. This photocopy was leaked, by an organization that famously doesn't leak, to the Associated Press. It was not leaked directly to the Canadian media which is where most Canadian government documents are normally leaked.
4. The Canadian government is controlled by a bunch of neo-conservatives with close ties to the Bush administration and their advisors, past and present, including Karl Rove.
5. The Canadian government (as well as the Bush administration) is terrified of the possibility that the US might consider opting out of NAFTA.
6. Hillary is smart enough to know the evidence is tenuous but she also knows that most people in Ohio aren't going to examine the details so, just as she did when asked if she believed if Obama was a Muslim, she tacitly allowed the truth get lost in the hyperbole for political gain.

As for what Obama needs to do: He needs to continue to tell people THE TRUTH, something Hillary and her shills are unable to do. None of them could be believed if they come on TV and say the sky is blue.

He needs to hit her on NAFTA, hit her on her fear mongering. Hit her on healthcare. Hit her on her voting record on Iraq and Iran. Hit her on her unimpressive legislative resume in the Senate, even though she has been there longer than he (hint: no one wants to be seen co-sponsoring her legislation, but people are climbing over each other to co-sponsor his).

I think when people take a long, LONG look (7 weeks is a lifetime in politics) at their respective records and their policy ideas, they will see her for what she is: a losing idea for the Democratic party.

Get real about Hillary throwing in the towel. If she continues to the Convention, it's not going to destroy the Democratic Party. If they cannot sustain each other thru a heated primary (and this goes for either one of them), then they truly don't deserve to represent the Democrats in the general election. We've had more than twenty years to develop heated opinions about Hillary. Only now are we starting to scratch the surface about how effective of a leader would Barack really be. He may be the best candidate to emcee the event, but realistically, can he go the distance of 4 grueling years? If he can't make it thru the primary because liberal democrats want all democrats to continue to fawn over him, how's he going to sustain the conservative republicans when they get their claws into him? This is a question Americans truly need to consider in states that haven't yet voted.

He's got seven weeks before Pennsylvania. He's got to remember what engages his supporters elsewhere and concentrate on that, work the ground game and make Hillary's attacks reflect back on her with a quick but civil response. I would also tackle head-on the issues that gave her Ohio: NAFTA and Rezko. Call her on it when she attacks without proof.

It's amazing that some people can be so hateful! Hillary Clinton should get the nomination because she is the best candidate for the job.

College students are voting for Obama but I would not say it's because they are the smarter or the more educated portion of the electric but rather the most sedated, everyone knows most college students spend a great deal of time parting getting drunk or high.

"Trouble" ~ "stupid working shlubs", what gives you the right and makes you so much better than everyone else? I would rather be a hard working shulbs then a mindless big mouth!

As far as the "Billary" comment, you can't have it both ways. Obama is constantly reminding us that she was not president and can't use his 8 years in the White House as her record but in the same respect it can't be pulled out and waved around when it's convenient sighting she is more of the same, that is just B.S. If you want more of the same vote for McCain.

Pennsylvania will be out to vote for Hillary, the air is fresher here and we can see and think clearly as to who is the best person for the job!

I use to think of myself as middle class, but there is no middle class anymore. Hillary voted to allow credit card companies to raise the interest rates up to 30%. But yet she says she'll help us keep our houses by freezing the current interest rate for five years. How does that help us. And her health care program will make her richer and the companies she works with not help us. Sorry I just had to vent. Obama gets my vote !!!!!

This is not about race as much as the fence sitting independents would like us to believe, it is about pocketbook issues, jobs, the economy. High minded rethoric like "changing the world" just doesn't sound real anymore after the same message being used over and over again by the Bush White House.
Some how the Obama supporters have gotten it in their heads that Barak will change the dynamics of our social structure by just being the first black president, this is part of the myth the media has constructed. The media has created this
post-modernist belief that we can somehow overcome human nature and all love one another. Virtual reality is now reality, just watch TV and see, everything will turn out OK, just like in the movies.
Reality with kick you in the teeth if you do not watch out.
If Senator Obama really wants to win he will have to now talk issues over promises, it is as simple as that!
