Rob Winnipeg Canada — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:34:00 GMT

Senator Obama is correct about HRC in that she hasn't been vetted. Anything that has been out there for years has primarily been about Bill not her. It's no wonder you have Rush and the others promoting HRC, they can't wait to see her as the nominee because of the stuff that will come out.

KJ, Dallas, TX — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:35:22 GMT

Hey FR, why don't you guys do "streams"??? I saw this on the stream for CNN, and Sen. Obama was great. Maybe if MSNBC would get rid of those tabloid convict/s*x slave shows, you could get up enough money to run a decent website. Get with the program and let's have more substance.

Obama makes his final pitch

Dave, NY, NY — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:35:40 GMT

Tormorrow will decide the matter. If Clinton can't win both states decisively then Obama should be the nominee. She's had tremendous momentum out of PA, favorable media attention, very unfavorable media attention for her opponent, a boost in cash, a former president on the stump for her, relentless GOP attack against her opponent... If she can't clearly separate herself now then she can't win in the fall.

Obama makes his final pitch

Leanza Cornett — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:38:03 GMT

Facts are a stubborn thing. Obama cannot close his 20 year old relationship with Wright because there is so much video evidence against it. On the TV program THE VIEW, Obama declared that Reverend Wright accepted that his views of America were inappropriate and mischaracterized, that his words had offended many people. Then weeks later Wright goes on a national Hate America Tour? This was either a blatant lie; Obama using clever semantics to avoid the main issue. Or worse, Obama was fooled by Wright which is kind of scary. That a possible next president can be played by a character such as Wright. Check the video evidence yourselves.

And if the video is not enough: Read this in politico.com which calls on Obama to state the truth.

I would probably vote for the candidate who does not vow to annihilate some other country even before they become their party's designee. What do you plan on using Hillary, nukes? Are you going to obliterate all Iranians including the moderates, or just the radicals? Vote for Hillary and we could be at war for 100 years.

Obama makes his final pitch

voter — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:40:44 GMT

good. keep reminding voters that Hillary is a liar and pandering to voters. Her records shows that she has done nothing for the working class. For example, NAFTA, her husband taking money to speak in support of CAFTA, Mark Penn lobbying for CAFTA, her husband agreeing for China to buy out a plant in Indiana and the hoax of the gas tax. She is not speaking or fighting for the working class. She is pandering and condesending to the working class. She is only fightinh with people who do not agree with her plans. Sorry, but her so call experience led to the war in Iraq and loss of jobs due to NAFTA. I rather take someone who learns from his experience, offers hope, speaks the truth about pandering and willing to solve problems and not put a band-aid on problems. Vote Obama

Obama makes his final pitch

Jeff, Idaho — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:40:58 GMT

I was just playing with the numbers on CNN, for Clinton to get to the magic 2025 number she would need 63% of the remaining delegates (both Super and Pledged)! Now Obama would need about 40 percent of the remaining delegates (again Both Super and Pledged)to reach that magic number. So the way I see it any win for Clinton under the 60% mark is a loss!!!
Now say the Supers go 50-50 that means Obama only needs about 36% of the Pledged Delegates. And just for fun lets switch that and say Pledge Delegates get split 50-50 in the upcoming races, then Obama would only need 28% of the Supers.
Now, if the remaining pledeged delagates go 50-50 Clinton would need 80% of the Super's to back her. And say 50% of the remaining supers back her, she would have to win the remaining contest by over 70%!

AJM, PA — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:41:50 GMT

What does Barack Obama bring?
The Truth, Experience, Down to Earth Upbringing, Intelligence, and a Plan to reinvigorate America
- Tax cuts for middle class, working class, and poorer Americans (75% of the country making less than 75K) with revenues maintained by increasing taxes on the rich
- Tax relief specifically for senior citizens
- A payroll tax strategy to SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY... its only affecting the rich
- Universal Health Care
- Improved early childhood education
- Promotion for a second stimulus package this summer to deliver MUCH MORE than a mere 28 bucks (AT BEST AND PROBABLY NOT EVEN THAT) from the gas tax to folks

Obama and Wright are birds of a feather (like kind). Their views are the same. Obama would like to divorce Wright but the fact is he sat in that church for over 20 years. Yet he expects us to believe that he never heard this stuff. PLEEEEEEEZE!
Does he think we are dumber than dumb. It is what it is. stupid is.......as stupid does. He can thank his endorser Tom Hanks for that one. Forrest Gump wouldn't endorse Obama...he had common sense.

A Charles, LA, CA — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:47:39 GMT

I've noticed something that may explain why Clinton always wins the last minute voters. Besides the obvious brand name they can trust, there is the power of "Sound Bites". Obama purposely does not speak in sound bites, while Clinton relentlessly does. In the last days of each primary both get tons of coverage and Clinton's sound bites give her coverage punchy headlines. His come off as wordy or boring. Reading comments today, people are not hearing that he has solutions, while her gimmicks are giving her substance in the eyes of the voter. So he ends up looking like all talk because voters don't have time to digest what he's saying.

balthus, Raleigh, NC — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:49:13 GMT

The last time Democratic primary voters based their votes on who they thought would be the most electable candidate in November, we wound up with John Kerry.
Could anyone have forseen the "swiftboat" attacks he underwent, or his campaign's inability to handle them?

Fact is, nobody knows what issues will shape the General Election - or what non-issue the media will turn into one. Maybe Obama will reveal that he knows how to use chopsticks, a sure sign of rampant elitism. Or McCain will admit he can't ever remember where he put his keys - a compelling indication that he, indeed, lives in a feeble-minded haze.

Perhaps then, we should heed Obama's wise advice and vote for the person we would most like to be President, and trust that by doing so we will help make that happen.

Well, heres a real pitch!

Saudi oil must be stopped and the three big oil giants brought to their knees.
From the President, ACLU, Green Peace, EPA, they all can get screwed! Nothing is stopping production but those mentioned. We have known crude oil fields, these fields contain mega millions of barrels of crude,from Alaska to the gulf.

Its time to take back Washington and move this country into the future! Put America back to work, reopen industry, Its time to take actions and the hell with Washington and their useless self serving agenda..

Listen to the highway noise, it is going silent and we have only ourselves to blame!!! We taught the rag heads how to drill oil and now they are using it as a weapon against us,, With out gas America will fall flat on its face and we are on the verge now!!

I hope MSNBC will post this, as America can't wait on Washington any longer!!!

Elliott, Los Angeles, CA — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:52:06 GMT

Many of the questions that continue to linger out there regarding the trustworthiness of the Clintons has everything to do with the bogus Ken Star investigations and the medias passive posture during those years. Were it actually true that Hillary Clinton were found not trustworthy...how then was she able to get elected Senator of New York...twice? Hillary is fighting perceptions that were formulated in the minds of many people years ago. Mr. Obama now is fighting a perception that he is anti-America and believes that the United States deserved to have 9-11 happen as retribution for its past “sins”. So you would think he would have a bit more empathy for Mrs. Clinton as he works hard to make certain these perceptions being placed on him do not stick. Good luck with that Mr. Obama. With much of the media on your side you may actually fair better than Mrs. Clinton... someone who many in media elite despise.

Obama makes his final pitch

KNH — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:52:43 GMT

Hillary Clinton is sounding more like John McCain every day and in fact has been helped in the primaries by crossover Republicans. But Democratic voters should not kid themselves on her argument of electability - they will vote for John McCain in the general.

Sure, voting for Obama is a leap of faith, not so much about who he is, but his ability to function in the White House at the high bar he has set for himself. Washington has many entrenched interests and is resistant. Ultimately, however, it takes the American people to demand better of their leaders. We've lost that ability, as those with large, showy, gas guzzling cars have shown themselves resistant to change. They demand lower prices but resist less usage. If someone won't give up an SUV to save the planet how can we expect they'll demand real change from Washington because real change requires everyone to get on board and make a sacrifice for the greater good.

Obama's message resonates because more and more of us believe that we can bring about a better world. Clinton talks about change but she's had 15 years of power and done remarkably little. After her bout to bring about health care reform and it's disastrous failure at her hands, she seemed to lose steam to do anything else. Why is she considered such a fighter? She passively watched her husband cheat on her, she passively voted to allow Bush his war, she passively thought she could sweep the nomination.

Way to sway those voters with the truth. Only Obama can and will ever get my vote in Nov. You people should have principles and vote on the basis with which you speak.

The interview in 2005 where HRC agrees w/McCain that we might be in Iraq for 50 years plus the McCain-Clinton gas tax holiday make it pretty hard to distinguish HRC from McCain. Gee, given her high negatives and their similar policies what are her chances of beating McCain in Nov? Zip!

Obama makes his final pitch

Holli, Oklahoma City, OK — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:55:30 GMT

To drk in the sunny south...to suggest that Obama and Wright is just ludicrous. In fact, even his strongest critics don't make that argument and why--NO WAY THAT COULD BE TRUE. Sen. Obama was raised by a white mother and grandparents. The truth is that he can't really state the fact that he went to Wright's church because he was an organizer and trying to get in with the community so he chose that church because we would accuse him of being a politician. And yet, when he's not a politician, when he doesn't automatically throw his friends and colleagues under a bus because it would make us feel better, we criticize him as somehow he's forgotten half of his upbringing and label him with the same venom we attack Wright. I'm not sure Obama can pull off the nomination. The society which thrives on drama tends to stifle idealism but to suggest that he and Wright are the same reflect more of your views than of Sen. Obama.

Obama makes his final pitch

And, what does Obambi bring? Wright, Rezko, Hamas, Ayers, an anti-American wife. And, the latest coming out is Jodie Evans, anti-American radical ally of Chavez and Castro supporter. Also, he brings either very poor judgement, bad hearing or stupidity if he was around Irreverent Wright for 20 years and never knew Wright's views. On Russert this weekend, Obambi was still praising Wright! Wright might be right for Obama, but Obama is wrong for the country.

Jim Boyd, Fredericksburg, VA — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:58:15 GMT

The sad fact is, despite the Clintons propensity for bending, and breaking, the truth, many of those supporting the Clintons have forgotten their history. They haven't changed, and never will. During the campaign trail, they're like wind up dolls. Hillary has smiled more in the last six months than she has in her first sixty years! How reasonable people can support her is beyond me. How many times do they have to lie to you before you begin to doubt their credibility?

Obama makes his final pitch

Mark, Seattle — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:58:46 GMT

Clinton not fully vetted? That is dead wrong! The media is all over the fact that her pastor is a pediaphile, The Clinton vs. Paul case is going on right now, She publicly stated that there should be a long term presence in Iraq alongside McCain in '95, She sends mailers that Obama is an elitist who wants to take away your guns although she can't pump gas or get her own coffee and she joked with O'Rielly how great it is to be rich like them and she is the biggest gun control advocate in the senate. MSNBC has completely combed through every bit of her past. Isn't that right guys?......Guys?......(crickets)

Obama makes his final pitch

Roofin Reality, Tx — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:59:52 GMT

"And if you do that, I'm absolutely confident that person will win."

Whatever you think about the guys FORMER pastor, he at least is thinking about the party with this statement. Not only is he talking about himself, but in a round about way, he's talking about the Democratic party in the event Senator Clinton somehow wins the Dem nomination. So, it's hard to not like the guy (particularly if you're a Dem). Please, Clinton fans, consider your priorties vs. being angry that your candidate didn't win if that's how it turns out. And when considering your priorities, you'd still vote for the Dem (Obama) vs. voting against your interest.

Here's the spread on Real Clear Politics: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/in/indiana_democratic_primary-639.html

In Indiana, you can't do automated calls... so how is SurveyUSA, which isn't supposed to have any live call centers, even polling?

This is what the other pollster, InsideAdvantage had to say:

"Consequently, our ability to have accurately polled the winner in most contests this season is hampered by this constraint in Indiana. This is a phone room poll, and phone room polls are now no longer, in my judgment, as reliable as automated polls for horserace contests such as these primaries."

I keep hearing over and over "if Obama is so good, why can't he close the deal". Yet isn't the same question true of Clinton? For as much as she would like to point out that Obama needs "big wins" she certainly hasn't capitalized on her opportunites. She had a huge war chest and a formidable organization going into the primary season. But she has been unable to catch Obama, much less secure the nomination. Not only is she not gaining superdelegates as fast she's actually LOSING them to Barak. Have there actually been any defections from Barak to Hillary?

BTW, since demographics seem to be important, I'm white, female and 50.

Don't be fooled by the smoke screen the media has created aka Jeremiah Wright. Don't be fooled by Hillary's gas tax holiday. Both of these hypes are insults to the intelligence of American voters. Barack Obama has more integrity than any politician yet. Even when that silly little ridiculous man aka Jeremiah Wright played into the hands of Hillary's camp, Obama was dignified and forthright. So what if his x-pastor is a nut? Look at the issues. If we're going to be trivial about matters, who is Hillary associated with? I'll give you a hint...they named a cigar after him.

Secondly, I am certain that not EVERY sermon was full of that crap.
Third, Hillary's pastor was convicted of a sexual misconduct crime (no reporting on that)
Laastly, at least he had the decency to not "MISSPEAK" about it. ("...pinned down under sniper fire..."). I have been under fire and I can tell you from experience that it is something that you definately don't "misspeak" about. HRC and Monica's ex boyfriend can go to H E double hockey sticks

Announced today by President Bush, ""There is no quick fix to gas prices going higher"". Is this not a cowardly position for Washington to take? Who ever goes to the White House has a very bleak future! Our oil fields are super rich and mega millions of barrels set. Americans are going to suffer more than a stock market crash. At the rate gas price increases you will have to have three jobs, two will be to pay for gas! one to eat! Put America back to work, Build refineries, Open steel plants, machine shops, reinvent industry,, Stop Washington from blocking out future, File # 13 the EPA! Get America on the move!! The highways are growing silent as the trucker can't afford fuel, this the nation as we know it will start starving because food will not reach the market! Farmers will become homeless because they can't sell their product!!!!

Yours is a typical intolerant attitude that believes anyone who does not agree with you is not right for this country. So Rev. Wright made some statements that offended you. So what. It does not remove the fact that Rev. Wright has just as much right to his opinion as you do yours in this country. And don't tell me that this country which unfortunately includes intolerant people as you has at times been intolerant towards others. You are why people like Rev. Wright make the comments they do. They see the hate and intolerance in your soul. The kind that claims to have the exclusive privilege of calling this nation "your country". This is our country think, not just yours. And it is your intolerance that raises questions as to its greatness from time to time. In fact, you, your attitude and your divisive comments are no different then some of those made by Rev. Wright. But I forgot, this is "your" country.

I am wondering why any of us bother to make these posts. I read a big percentage of them and they overwhelmingly complain about MSNBC's obsession w/Rev Wright. They like to say that they are only talking about what people want to hear, but we all know they know exactly how they influence the viewership. If they had made the decision to focus and talk over and over about a negative of Clinton's then that would have been what people wanted to hear. Gee, how about talking about the issues and giving some equality in the negative coverage!

I mute my t.v. now because I can't stand to hear the junk comming from MSNBC. I've never seen a channel other than Fox so pro for one particular candidate. The sad thing is I used to really like Tim Russert, I can't even watch his show on the weekends anymore. Chris Matthews is even worse and don't even get me started with David Gregory, he and George Stephenopolous are one and the same. They both ought to go and do a lap dance for Hillary and get it over with. They must of had overbearing mothers or something. Or is it something with short guys?

It's about how many delegates the candidates win, not the total votes. Hillary's camp said so:

If I were a good reporter, here are some questions I might ask of Hillary: 1) would the oil companies have to pass along the savings to the consumer? 2)is there a windfall profits tax in place to fill in the gap for roads, bridges, etc.? 3) what is the liklihood of the gas tax holiday being put into effect? 4) what is the liklihood of a windfall profits tax being passed? 5) what would happen if the tax holiday passed and the windfall profits tax didn't? Those are for starters, and I am no reporter!

I read a lot of blogs, and it amazes me how the Clinton supporters think the media is biased against her and the Obama supporters think the media is biased against him. Hmmmm, do you think the media may be telling both sides and the supporters just perceive it through their own bias?

By the way, I am an Obama supporter, and I think the media is biased against him. I rest my case.
