See the level of hatred in Obama supporters. And there’s more of that childish “change” talk that we never hear just what it means. You Obama folks don't seem very smart. Sounds to me like you need to get off the black c*ck.
I'm white.

as Mitt Romney has said, "the presidency is not an internship"..we need someone who has come through and had much experience and who actually DID something.....someone who is ready and been through those tough decisions. I hope Hillary wins. I am never voting for Obama. He is all talk. just wait and see.

Funny how older, thinking and working people with more life experience aren’t going with Obama.
Actually, My whole family is voting for Obama and only one of us is college age. The rest of us range in age from 26 - 60 some college graduates, all hard working, and all definately thinking. Not all of us are white and none of us are so Anti-Hillary that we would throw our vote away were she to be the nominee. I'd like to think most people have more sense than to leave our country in this state for spite. I only wish the more fervent Hillary supporters felt the same.

I hate to say it, but are these the best candidates our party has to offer? if that is so, then we need to regroup and work on fixing the party or we condemn ourselves to more losses. i have heard talk that Hillary should drop out because the longer she runs the more damage is done to both she and Obama, Dont we have anyone that isnt screwed up? Hillary is hurting herself by being open about playing the "back room boys" games of corrupt politicians, negotiating for support by the super delegates regardless of what the voters want, while Obama trashes the whole system by saying we need to change everything though he hasnt been around long enough to have ever done anything. the people are tired of what got us here in the first place ( old boy network politics) and want change though Obama hasnt proven any ability to foment change. remember Schwartzeneggar, he said he would change everything and later found he couldnt do anything.Failures to disengage with "party politics as usual" kill Hillary's chances,McCain is under that same cloud, so Obama ends up winning since he is the only one left that isnt disgusting to the voters, regardless of his inexperience.
The final deciding factor will be the choice of vice president. McCain will gain votes if he chooses the right one, Obama cant win if he chooses Hillary, and we dont have anyone else left that is electable!

Ok Linda, I'm about to unleash a tirade and I'm a WHITEBOY in his late 30s....Mitt the mormon described Bush and, where did Jr lead us and this nation? Into the GROUND. Did you profit from the War in Iraq? NO YOU DIDN'T. Did Cheney and Bush profit from this war? YES THEY DID! Who's paying for their financial windfall??? You, me and the rest of middle class America. To Randal and the rest of y'all, I ask that you be fair and impartial{period} Barack has more pledge and super delegates. Did he twist tje arms of Capital Hill for their endoresment? No, I don't think so. Think about the last eight years. Whether Clinton or Obama we need Democratic leadership right now. With or without you A Change Gone Come. Besides, John McCain has Jungle Fever with illegitimate kids to prove it. Look, I'm RICH! But, I'm more concerned about the international image of America right now. I'm going to get taxed...SO, I'll make more money go offset the tax increase. With an improved image, I'll make up the difference.

So, you're a fortune teller? Rules are rules. Who has the most delegates? Her campaign made some serious mistakes. Which means her campaign was not well thought out. Which means the will of the voters has to happen. Which means she doesn't get the nod. You're paying four times the amount for gas and corn than you did 8 years ago. Does Irag have any oil left? If we were there for the oil and democracy then, why are we suffering?

It really is a shame that Hllary is going to lose because she's the only candidate who helps those of us who didn't finish college.

I grew up very comfortable and secure. My family is very wealthy and I really experienced the American dream growing up. It's not possible for me to get the kind of jobs that provide the same lifestyle I'm accustomed to since I flunked out of college.

McCain doesn't seem to care and expects everyone to be able to get through college. Hillary understands all of the social distractions that make it hard for our generation to get through college just like that. But should I be deprived of the lifestyle I'm used to just for thar?

I don't understand all of this bickering...President Bush has overall done a good job. Only uneducated or ill-informed people trash him all of the time. Obama talks of transformation yet it's President Bush who has moved to the center and transformed politics for the better. He's taught us to ignore political polls and do what you believe is right. He bucked his own party to support the guest-worker program for illegal immigrants while risking election defeat by his controversial decision to kep our troops in Iraq.

He's been the best President in the modern era on foreign policy in Africa, South Asia, specifically India and Vietnam. He's been extremely tactful in handling complicated challenges with Russia, China, Iran & North Korea. He's reached numerous trade agreements with other nations, some of which the isolationist Congress has foolishly killed. And he removed the Taliban for crying out loud!He gave a wounded country its confidence back after 9/11. He's clearly made this a safer country with his numerous security measures and improved information-sharing between our agencies. His biggest mistake was placing tariffs on imported steel in 2002. But he had the sense at least to reverse that in 2003 when the WTO threatened sanctions, despite the political risk at home it would bring him.

You people are really sheep to just buy whatever the headlines and spinsters tell you without really researching facts and history.

Great post, TG. I’m not a great Bush fan but he has not been nearly as bad as the Left has so desperately tried to make him out to be. They don’t give him credit for anything. McCain seems like a good guy. It is highly dishonest for Obama to keep saying that he would be another Bush term. Before the Left had their Affirmative Action Candidate they thought highly of McCain because he is a moderate that isn’t afraid to cross the isle.

To all democrats that will vote for McCain when Obama becomes the nominee, are you ready for 4 more years of Bush in office? That is exactly what you will get. To all Hillary supporters, what experience does she have that you speak of? Obama may not be the favored choice among most voters, but he is the only one that will take us in another direction, which can't be any worse than we are already. Before any states that the votes show Obama as the favored choice, remember this, many Republicans switched parties, and voted for Obama, because they feel McCain has a better shot against him.

Way to engage in ageism. That’s just like someone saying don’t vote for Obama because he is black. I think maybe you don’t like McCain or Hillary because they are white.
All you sheeple keep repeating that hollow line about “change” without ever once saying just what sort of change he would bring. Grow up. You sound like children. Besides, not all change is good, change just for the sake of change rarely is.
And the reason that college kids are voting for Obama is because they have undergone the apologist Liberal indoctrination that Higher Education is notorious for. Funny how older, thinking and working people with more life experience aren’t going with Obama.
I wish I could see your racist face when Obama wins. Unless of course Bush and Cheney teach McCain how to cheat and buy the election.

Oh my god you cannot be serious. What is his approval rating these days? Funny how he is in the oil business and the price of gas is crazy. I could go on and on.
He has taught us that he is a president that doesn't give a damn what the US wants (ignoring political polls) and doing what he wants. Sounds much like a dictator to me.. UGH if McCain wins I'm moving to Canada.

Now that's just dumb. Clinton and Obama both have pretty much the same ideas on how this country should be run so why vote for a candidate who's ideas are radically different than the one you supported?
Unless it's the race thing, Then you make perfect sense.
