Gaumaniam Janet Aguon has a very good point --

In 1992, we were all promised a middle class tax cut (that we never got).

In 1992, we were all promised healthcare reform and we got HMO's (the worst combination of socialized medicine and out-of-control capitalistic greed ever dreamed up by man or woman.

Hmmm, those are the two promises I believed -- and guess what? Senator Clinton has the gall to claim she should get the credit for her husband's administration and here she is making the same exact promises he made and broke back then.

Not this time, not this year -- I want a President who will think more about the long-term interests of this Country than he (or she) does the next election. I want a President who does not pander to me and treats me like an adult. I want a President who can bring people together and end partisan gridlock.

I want a President who can inspire all of us to make our Country better from the day he takes office. I want Senator Obama to be the 44th President of the United States. How about you?

Yes we can! No matter how much Paddy Chayefsky's nightmare has come true -- I know we are living in a Network world, but we are the People and we have the power to change Washington and make this Country a better place even if most of the MSM is hopelessly dedicated to ratings and conflict. Yes we can!!!

WTF is the matter with you First Read? They also have pro Obama (not dem for a day) voters that you failed to mention. You only mention a McCain supporter who voted for Obama, and then a "real" voter for Hillary. Then you said she only needed 204 votes to win, not 204 MORE than Obama in the last contest to be counted, to win. I'm really beginning to wonder about you people. I have been such a believer in Todd but now I realize that he's been hijacked by the corporate media all of a sudden! SHAMEFUL SHAMEFUL SHAMEFUL.

Is this a sign of things to come on Tuesday?

I don't care what the margin of victory is on May 6th. I just want 51% of the polls in NC., and Indiana to say that they believe in Obama's common sense message of hope, and change!

If G-D Wills, a larger margin of victory would be even more glorius.

Obama has picked up 5 superdelegates today and at least 2 pledged delegates from Guam.

So far today, Obama has been endorsed by Brian Colon, the Democratic Party Chairman in New Mexico.

Obama also received an endorsement from the South Carolina add-on, former State Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum.

He gained support from Maryland add-on, former Gov. Parris Glendening.

He is also about to pick up:
Pilar Lujan (Guam) - an Obama supporter
Jaime Paulino (Guam) - undecided but on record stating he will support the popular vote winner in Guam.

* BoBo2020's diary :: ::

Meanwhile Clinton picked up:
Maryland add-on, former Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.

And in non-super delegate news:

Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Martin Sheen support Obama!

Superchunk and Arcade Fire are rocking out for Obama in North Carolina.

Obama has rebounded in the Gallup daily poll, and he is up BIG in Oregon.

He reached out to John Edwards, and gave his amazing "Closing argument" in Indianapolis (Here's the ad video).

Friends of the Earth has endorsed Obama (are you listening Gore?)

The Magnequench and WVWV issues are both catching up with CLinton.

Finally, Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine is going to campaign for Obama in Indiana and Ron Paul, yes THE Ron Paul is considering supporting Obama because of his policy on foreign affairs.

This has been a VERY GOOD DAY for OBAMA!

Jeez Louise, it's all the media. That old guy on CNN just said it's a really close race, which they didn't expect on the Obama side, since HE GREW UP IN HI ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES FROM HERE. He neglected to say that Hillary is popular there because of Bill. Am I losing my mind or has the press just decided to make sh*t up just to make a story??? Obamabots, unite and let the press have it!!

Well apparently VanDeVeld has not listened to Obama, he talks about the issues all the time. Wake up.

‘I like Obama,’ he said. ‘I like his demeanor and the way in which he presents himself, but Sen. Clinton is the only one who talks about the issues.’

You know, it is truly amazing to me how easily people are led down the garden path.

Senator Obama talks about the issues just as much as Senator Clinton, in just as much detail as Senator Clinton, and he doesn't change his positions on the issues to fit the state he is in.

The reason this perception is so prevelent is because of the "narrative" that the media has presented - featuring only clips of lofty rhetoric for Senator Obama and meaty policy clips for Senator Clinton. Ah, the power of selective editing.

American voters - WAKE UP! Do your own research and ALWAYS question the source!

i hope obama wins Guam. Clinton made promises she did not fulfill, just because she considered Guam unimportant. Obama is genuinely all-inclusive.

Go Obama!

Janet Augon said of trips made by Bill(95) and Hillary Clinton(98) "They both made promises that they did not act on".

Thats pretty much how I remember the 8 best years of Clintons life also. Oh well, whats another lie among friends. Now, can we get to the real problem. Hillary needs you to send her campain more money. I don't think she has repaid herself the 5 million that she loaned her campain.

Guam! I can't hardly wait to see how the Clinton camp spins this one into a landslide victory.

Obama has my vote for much the same reason.

The mistake the Obama campaign is making is treating Americans like mature and smart adults.

" Curtis Van De Veld said he’s voting for Clinton. “ ‘I like Obama,’ he said. ‘I like his demeanor and the way in which he presents himself, but Sen. Clinton is the only one who talks about the issues.’"

As the quote above shows people just repeat the same talking points they were bombarded with. So Clinton is right to treat voters for what they are (the majority at least): Short span children.

and I am not counting the great power the media has on delivering and beating these talking points. I will never forget that the American people elected and reelected the cowboy prankster pres. Also I will never forget the same media (include Hillary here too) bought into Bush's talking points and did not ask the serious questions before Iraq war (label pin anyone).

It is sad to see such a beautiful country being sold for pennies on the dollar, but that is the dark side of democracy and democracy needs to be kept at all costs. But it may need a little fix now....

Good job Guam. Now if you want to save the Dem Party, its time for IN and NC to do the right thing and end this race.

Iam an Obama woman. I like his style and I beleive him when he speaks. I like Bill Clinton our life styles were good. I don`t trust Hillary, she is not an honest person in my book. If you are condeming Obama for what his ex-pastor preaches then condem Hillary for the way Bill acted with Monica. Do not just use the good things about the Clintons, that is why I feel you are being very bias to Obama. You hang on every thing that happens to him and nothing about her. We all know she has much more baggage for MCCain to hang on to than Obama. Obama has not lived long enough baggage as Hillary. Just stick to the honest true issues please.

People of Guam remember promises Clintons made and never fufilled in the 90s. Clinton is making those promises again thinking that people will forget.

Sorry, they have not forgotten.

If Hillary Clinton is nominated as the Democrate for Presidency I will not vote for her at one time I would have before I found out what a liar she is. I would have more respect for her if she told the truth about what she can do when she elected, did she forget she will need the Senate, Congress or the House of Representative's aprroval.

Can anyone please explain this story about Peter Paul Vs Hillary Clinton? It's on the blogs now. It's about stuff on fraud and campaign finance against Hillary. Who is Peter Paul? Why is no one talking about this? Isn’t this a serious issue in a general election? This has been described as the campaign finance scandal of the new millennium and no one wants to discuss it. Does America not deserve better? I leave it to you guys to decide.

If Hillary lied and didn't make good on it earlier why think she would now. Because she is running instead of her husband? Well that is new but it will not work. Bill still has a hand in what Hillary do, so guess what we have Hillary and Billary in the White House again. Sorry for this country but what can we say.

I will go with Obama 08
