Comments on: Behind The Clinton-Obama Draw

Black And Young Voters Back Obama; Latinos, White Women And The Elderly Support Clinton

[rayuk-2009]

I remain convinced that Hillary is, by far, the smartest and best qualified individual to lead the country out of the Bush mess.

McCain shoots from the hip far too often and is much like Bush in that regard. Obama has a nice delivery of a vague and by no means specific message. Hillary knows what it will take and she will use every person and tool available to accomplish what needs to be done. We call that experience.

For some reason, a bunch of fools don''t want to give Hillary the chance and credit she deserves. These are small thinking individuals that amount to a block in the road forward. Get over it fools and understand we need action, not words.

OK WHY WOULD CLINTON HIDE THIS FROM EVERYBODY??THIS WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BEHIND CLOSED DOORS..WHY??

THIS NEEDS TO GET OUT INTO THE MEDIA...AND TO ALL NEWS

CLINTON ALLOWS BUSH TO PARDON HIMSELF
Buried deep inside Military Commisions Act, which was FULLY SUPPORTED by Senators Clinton, and McCain, is a provision which pre-pardons President Bush and all the members of his administration for any crimes which they may have committed all the way back to September 11, 1998. Why that far back? That kind of makes you wonder. Huh? I can''''t help but recall what Nixon said during an interview following the Watergate scandal when he said, "If the President does it, by definition, it''''s not illegal." History never repeats itself, folks. It only rhymes. At least Nixon had enough class to wait for another President to pardon him for his crimes against our country. Bush apparently doesn''''t want to take that chance. He has to consider the risk that A AMERICAN will become our next President.

Hillary loses to McCain. Experience argument no longer works, surge in youth and African American voters disappears.

Interesting that Democrats vote in collectivist blocks- "white women", "blacks", "latinos". I wonder if Democratic voters think of themselves as white women, blacks, or latinos rather than thinking of themselves as individuals. But I guess its hard to come up with one size fits all big government solutions to problems if people are actually individuals that don''t fit neatly into collectivist categories. The Republicans need some payback for their big government neoconservative disaster, but I just can''t put myself in a leftwing frame of mind. Guess I''ll have to vote Libertarian....

Let the Democrats fight it out all the way to the convention while the Republicans rally around an early leader.

The Country AND the World will see the Republicans as the stronger party and the Dems as fence-sitting, witless lemmings, waiting for a sign from Harry Reid.

The Dems are shooting themselves in BOTH feet!

JOB NUMBER 1 for America is to repair the damages from the Bush administration and their arrogant incompetence.

If the next prez manages to do as much as get America more or less back to Y2K, let alone make progress, that will be near miraculous.

Republican BAD IDEAS and Bush Corp. depredations have had lockstep robovote support from Republican congressmen and party leaders, so no Rep. candidate will be able to do it. I admire McCain personally, but maverick or not, he is still hostage to many of their bad ideas.

Because the next prez will face a nightmare of current issues like Iraq, economy, HEALTH CARE, Social Security, environment, GIANT DEFICIT, international support, etc. PLUS some complex crises not yet on the horizon, I happen to favor Hillary knowledge and abilities over Obama hope and inspirational words.

Either way, if the Dems can overcome their obsession with ripping apart each other, we may survive the Republican slime machine. After all, Dems have TWO good candidates, Republicans have NONE.

Left and right media are beating Clinton, but she is doing great despite of all of these. This is the quality I am looking for in the president of the united stated. Someone can stand tall against of all circumstances. Obama has all the resources from all these retarded medias to her wealthy Oprah and Keneddy family. I think America last night proved the same that they want Clinton. Obama won in Cacauses which does not mean anything. And totally understandable if you are scared of you boss specailly in this bad ecomony you would vote for whoever he voted. Obama won small red states that they do not even vote for Democrate in the general election. Obama simply was the loser last night. No one say anything about how wonderful Hillary won MA, depiste of the fact that Kennedy made a big show for Obama, no one talks about how amazing Hillary won CA, depiste of the fact that dancing Oprah and all kenndy family went to all counties with rich delegates. Hillary showed how wonderful commander of cheif she could be and she is ready to lead this country from the day one.

[jack3213]

The Clintons remind me of a desperate and saddened old cult that has gone out of style, that too many Americans can''t let go of, that in their feeble attempt to fall for the pie in the sky, once again, they will be sucked into the illusionary scam of fraud and hope to aquire things they will go poor paying for, only to come to the realization they were sadly lied to. SAVE YOUR OWN SOUL!-- "IS" means: Clinton IS DONE!

If the democrats decide to field Hilary as opposed to the better qualified Obama...guess what..the GOP may reach for Collin Powell as McCain Vice President to exploit the crack among the Democrats. If that happens, the Democrats would have surrendered their winning chance to the Republican.

[wcheeney]

I hate to say it, but the candidates that we have running for president doesn''t do it for me. I don''t think we have a candidate that is running that could actually fill the position of commander and cheif. We need someone in there that actually cares about OUR countries beliefs, morals, and values. Not someone to tell you what you want to here so that they can shine at the time.

Oh kewl, I did too. Great minds think alike. :)

In a general election, Obama would get Hillary''s vote, and attract votes from Ind and moderate Republicans. Hillary will not get Obama''s voters, Hillary has reached almost the maximum votes she can get. Many Dems, especially white males have said they''d vote for McCain instead of Hillary and a large percentage of African Americans will sit out. After South Carolina many of Obama''s supporters will not vote for the Clintons. The excitement Obama has generated in his supporters will not carry over to Hillary. The only chance the republicans have is if they are running against Hillary, it may be the only thing that will bring the republicans together and motivate their base.

If Hillary would become President what will happen? All these champaign promises have no chance of ever bearing fruit. The Republican base hates Hillary, they will not work with her and attack her at every turn. They will because it is what the people back home want, by doing so they will be very popular in their home districts and reassure their re-election. Nothing will get done but 8 more years of fighting, bickering and investigations. It is time to end this kind of politics, It is time for a change.

Great job on the coverage last night. It was refreshing to get the facts instead spin doctors.Thanks CBS

[l00ker]

The media have been spinning for Obama for the last week, but not in this article. Numbers are numbers and to report facts is what we want from the media.

The spin, is coming from the Clintons, the media has just been making the delivery, of the facts indeed.

[jedi08]

It was very refreshing how CBS and ABC coverage of full information
posted by..... somemoron

Don''t you mean so refreashing for pro Clinton talk from CBS or CLINTON BROADCAST STATION

[jedi08]

Ding dong the witch is dead.

If you add the numbers right now assuming that Obama doesn''t gain at all(we know Clinton wont, she hasn''t moved in the polls in a year) and you assume the remaining super delegates vote for their states overall pick, Obama will go into the convention with a lead of 50 to 70 delegates.

ALl you Billary Cunton supporters should probably go into hiding for the next week. Obama is about to win the NEXT 8 STATES. He is up in all except Virgina by a large margins and in Virgina by a small margin.

The numbers don''t add up for you Billary

I voted for Monica''s boyfriends wife.

The Obama campaign is running a very strategic race. Momentum is growing as more Americans learn what Barack Obama is about. I don`t think the flurry of endorsements that occurred recently had sufficient time to impact the vote. These endorsements will continue to come and propel Obama to the nomination.

Indeed, and this is in spite of, the Clinton media spin.
