Clinton.Make everyone afraid to question cause we have all worked hard to get away from raceism.No one wants to be associated with being racial.They are good at what they do.His wife said we know Chiago politcs and are good at it.They sure are heres an example.Going to change anything for better my foot.He has damaged this country for his own means. He didnt even live here while we all worked on civil rights and being one.It wasnt easy for anyone white or black at times. He doesnt care,When no use throws them away.Not Hilary.

She can't even keep her goons in check in a presidential campaign! She really needs to have her feet held to the fire on this and the MSM seems so squeamish when it comes down to "VETTING" her.

Another example of the big lie that the media favors Obama. The media spoon feeds us every piece of garbage the Clintons come up with.

Where has the media been, for instance, as Hillary sells her supposed superior red telephone style experience, based on nothing more than physically being in the White House as the President's wife? Did she ever sit in on a cabinet or other high level meeting on any crisis? Were her trips anything more than First Lady tea and cookie events?

The story of the conference call in which not a single adviser could come up with a single example of Hillary dealing with a crisis in real life came and went with lightning speed while the wrong information about the supposed Obama wink to Canada about NAFTA got played over and over everywhere. If it weren't for Keith Olbermann there would be no balance whatsoever to counter the pro-Hillary media bias.

Hillary and her campaign continue to try to hold Obama and his campaign to a higher set of standards than they're willing to adhere to. Apparently Hillary and her people can mock and deride Obama all they want to.

And what about Hillary's Machiavelian response to "60-Minutes" Steve Croft's question to her about whether or not she believed Obama was a Muslim? She knows very well he is a Christian. So she could have clearly and finally put an end to the untrue rumor with an unequivocol "No, there's no truth to that rumor".

For a campaign that whines constantly about being mistreated by the media, the media seems to be giving Clinton an easy ride. Where is the outrage about the tax returns, the library, the documents from the White House. Seems to me that reporters should actually be asking the Clinton's questions not making others point out their faults. If Obama had not released his tax returns wouldn't the media be hounding him on why? Why does she get it so easy? If she wants to take credit for the White House years as if she was co-president then ask her questions like she was the president. I will not vote for Hillary and Bill no matter what. I'm so sick of the Washington political game where favors are promised and back room deals are made and the American people get screwed in the end. Reporters should be reporters not wimpering, cowering, stooges for the Clintons. The media once again is failing to do its job just like the run up to the Iraq war. Where are the real reporters?

I really think this is a good illustration in why its hard to really hold candidates liable for what surrogates say...anyone can say anything and it can be problematic (let's face we AlL regret saying things in our own lives).

I think you really do have to look for overall patterns...is there a consistent message of negativity or cheap shots versus isolated remarks.

Yes, its important to look at timing and/or whether a person gets canned, but really remarks like this happen all too often in campaigns. Are we really going to pull each remark apart for the rest of the campaign? I'd rather talk about issues (although some of the way the campaign does respond can speak to the candidate's character).

I take Mr. Johnson's apology (although I wish it had been faster) at his word. Lets move on.

In terms of Mr. Wolfson, I agree with Baileigh above. The Clinton campaign response drawing truly arbitrary distinctions, does hint at a double standard that is truly becoming a pattern, in my opinion.

I would like to see a woman in the white house but not that woman. Since their programs are virtually the same re:health care the economy, why would anyone want someone as divisive as mrs. clinton running this country. It is PRECISLEY because of the dirty tactics that she has shown that she has made huge enemies in the senate and if she becomes the candidate every program she supports will be rejected. The republicans would love to have her run then McCain will win and we will have another four years of the ugliness that we have had under. bush and cheney. I have never seen anything really get accomplished in this country when you have someone that does not inspire anything but distaste.

Senator Clinton is outraged? Women should be outraged by Senator Clinton's outrage.

Senator Clinton and her campaign have played no end of dirty tricks. Senator Clinton calls me and millions like me deluded and her campaign refers to us as "cult followers." But hey, we are just public citizens, right? Obviously, Senator Clinton thinks insulted us is just dandy. Her campaign can freely (without rebuke) compare us to those tragic people who died because of Jim Jones. But, heaven forbid a woman on Senator Obama's campaign call her a name!

Shame on you Senator Clinton. I will have compassion for your turmoils when you treat others with the respect they deserve -- that by the way, includes me and the millions of other women who do not think you are the best candidate. Although you and your campaign surrogates glory in telling us we are not misogynistic self-hating, delusional, kool-aid drinking cult-followers. My, my, doesn't the Clinton campaign let the insults fly?

I suppose the Clintons believe it is perfectly appropriate to keep on attacking those of us who are not in the public arena and have no microphone to defend ourselves. Thanks again, Senator Clinton -- I certainly expect you will keep the insults right on coming.

Now that she has resigned Obama supporters are calling for the Clinton camp to apologize for saying that Obama was engaging in Ken Starr like tactics. There is however a couple of differences:

1. Obama has been the one saying all along that he will run a different type of campaign, would not engage in name-calling, and would avoid personal attacks.

2. The comparison to Ken Starr was based on Obama talking about "land deals" and "personal finances" which were part of what Ken Starr was hounding the Clintons about.

3. The comment about Clinton was made about Hillary overall and was personal and was also an insult to the voters of Ohio while the Ken Starr reference was about a set of behaviors and actions and not about Obama as a whole.

And as for Bob Johnson??--He is a SUPPORTER and not the lead advisor on foreign policy. Pretty big difference.

It's strange. It's almost as if Obama supporters outnumber Clinton supporters 10 to 1 on the web. Anyway, I think it's absolutely immature that every time the Obama makes a misstep, the media has to look back and say "oh but what about when Hillary Clinton did..." Seriously, if you support Obama, good for you. But why is his admitted drug use in the past a taboo issue. Personally I'm offended as an African Amerian man by the suggestion that drug use calls into quesetion a person's race. Last I checked, millions of suburban white kids and adults all accross this country are tripping out on methamphetamines. I don't remember the media being so quick to protect Bill Clinton over his youthful marijuana use. Obama constantly refers to having superior judgment on past issues such as Iraq. Don't his political opponents have the same right to question his judgment when using drugs in the past. He is constantly sheilded by the press and in many cases they're doing the fighting for him. It's as though the press is attempting with this issue, his middle name, etc. to insulate white america from all of the things that color their opinion of him. I'm OK with that as long as it's done accross the board. However, there is not an even handedness to the press' approach on this. Wake up guys. Don't let your unwaivering support for Barrack Obama blind you to the truth.

I don't have a problem with either the "playa" or the "game." My problem is with the Slime Politics that is the Clinton Machine.

You must be okay with how many people have lost their jobs because of NAFTA, and the fact that BOTH Clinton's supported it. You are probably okay with the fact that if HRC wins the Democratic Primary, McCain will be President. Also, sadly enough, the Iraq war. You must be okay with the BLOOD that has been shed by countless Children, innocent People, and American Soldiers. Hillary, and McCain approved the war, Obama did not. Not only did Obama not approve the war, but gave a DETAILED description why it would be wrong; more than just a speach in 2002. But I guess the question is.... Do you HATE the "PLAYA", that is Obama, because you obviously have no problem with Hillary's GAME?

With regards to Tony Rezko, Obama had absolutely nothing to do with that. Have you not known anyone who has done soemthing bad or wrong? Even better, has Hillary?

DJ in TX — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 18:13:18 GMT

As a lifelong Democrat and "former" supporter of Bill Clinton, I think I'm just about to change my registration to another party. Hillary has destroyed any chance of a Democratic president. She will galvonize the Republican base (look at what's happening already). Consertives who initially were not for McCain are now rallying behind him and he doesn't have to do anything to get it. It's once thing to challenge and debate on the issues, and I'll even grant experience (not in the way she spins it though). But her personal attacks on Senator Obama has probably lost her the African American vote and a chance to pick off some the southern red states should she win the nomination. She has alienated all but the same regular demographics within the Democratic party. The party is broken and I fear there is no way to bring it back together. We had the Republican broken, but because of the Democratic mess, they are getting back together while we continue to mess it it up. Howard Dean and the DNC should all take the blame. The way Dems award the delegates, FL & MI (although they knew the penalty), allowing registered Republicans to vote in Democratic primaries (such as Texas), is a big reason we are in the mess we are in now. No matter what happens with Fl and MI, there is going to be a feeling of being cheated. If the DNC holds to their rules (BTW agreed upon by all candidates at the time including Hillary), people are going to feel cheated. If you allow them to revote (especially with Hillary doing all the pushing), people are going to feel cheated and will set a precedent for States in the future who want to be more of a player tomove up their dates, there is nothing good that come of it. We are going to have a broken convention and a broken party. At this point, no matter who you support, Clinton or Obama, more than likely if your candidate does not win, the other side will stay at home or vote Republican. Dems are going to lose in November and this is lifelong Dem saying it. We always find a way to mess it up.

The Clinton's have and continue to inject hateful speech and ideas into this campaign; yet at every turn they pronounce themselves as the victim.

One of the theories that some of our opportunistic TV pundits have put forward to whyHillary came back is "Limbaugh effect" where the foul mouthed radio talk show host asked republicans to vote for Hillary to create confusion amongst democrats according to him.
Real Limbaugh effect in my opinion is not republicans crossing over to vote for a democrat.Its the white middle aged mans reluctance to vote for an Obama.Its a fact that proven over . Makes me wonder-if Obama cannot even win support from so called liberals how is going to win the general election? He failed to win a single big state bar his home state of IL. Its true that he has energized a large (very liberal and visible especially on internet) democratic base but is that enough to win the gen election-guess not. And so far I have only factored in his backgound as a criteria for his viability.many more questions are yet to asked.If you have watched any of the debates,I dont think you needed Saturday Night live to tell us that media has given Obama a soft gloved treatment so far compared to what Clinton had to go through. And I am not even talking about the obviously biased MSNBC here. Real scrutiny is inevitable and looks like he is having a hard time handling it. If you think Clintons 3 AM ad is negative “you havent seen nothing yet" and wait till he get the nomination and see what republicans will do to him.
Even I hope that America has changed enough to see him in the white house but the answer so far has been NO NOT YET. I can understand the passion behind extreme liberals"hate Hillary' and "Obama or die" attitude but I dont think that healthy for their party.If they dont want to see another Bush term, its time to get real and stop hating Hillary who is their only viable choice.I dont think that she is guarenteed to win against MCCain either(unless the extreme wright wing evangelicals stay home) but amongst moderates,I think she has a fighting chance

Must we be subjected to analysis, cross-analysis and over-analysis of this single event all day long and into every news show tonight?

I proudly support Obama for many reasons, however until recently I have also listened with respect to Clinton's positions. I used to feel that she would be a good second choice to win the nomination and take back the White House. Not anymore. Her negative attacks and exploitation of any possible Obama misstep is just too hypocritical and disingenuous. How can I possibly know WHO this woman is anymore, let alone trust her to answer that "call"? Just who would turn up: the gracious, intelligent woman who was "honored" to run against Obama; the shrill, outraged and "misrepresented" candidate, chiding him for fliers that were no worse than some of her own; or the sarcastic cynic who gleefully and quite disrespectfully mocked him for his own unique message and style? Or perhaps it will be the Hillary who cries foul with the media and pounces on and exploits every wrong inflicted upon her by the Obama campaign. Then again, we may see the Hillary that wants to rally the Democrats into a unified party, yet continues to insult her OWN party's opposing candidate and places him below the Republican nominee. (She truly should be ashamed of her own behavior for that last one).

I am done; I just cannot trust Hillary Clinton anymore, despite her deep intelligence and experience. I will continue to trust my own intuition and support Obama, who--like all candidates--remains imperfect, yet still has the knowledge, experience, judgment AND authenticity to lead our country.

Please, media, give us some balanced coverage! Run the Samantha Powers story, then juxtapose it to some analysis around the alleged Clinton doublespeak to the Canadians about Nafta, the Ken Starr remarks, the Bob Johnson double-standard, and the Clinton/McCain "lifetime of experience" vs Obama "speech" argument.
