- The Clintons have nothing to say to a generation of young people looking for authenticity, honesty and transparency in their leaders and in their government.
That''s why more and more young people are turning to Barack Obama.

Well said!
I am 60 years old and I don''t think I want anything to do with these Hillbilly Crooks either. How many out there want a pair of crooks to represent them? Everything these Hillbillies did is deceitful and self-gratifying. Words such as wisdom, compassion, or courage just do not exist in their dictionary.
The Billary Hillbillies are shameless and loveless in misleading our youths by setting the worst of examples!
%u201CSetting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means.%u201D
%u201CThe foundation of every state is the education of its youth.%u201D
%u201CTo know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.%u201D
%u201CKnowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.%u201D
%u201COne atom of the plane where He functions would shatter the world.%u201D
%u201CWhat is governing to him who cannot rule himself? Who cannot rule himself, how should he rule others?%u201D
KEEP THE HILLBILLIES OUT OF SIGHT!
NO CHILD SHOULD LEARN ANYTHING FROM THEM! - Reply to this comment

- Oh, It''s unfair to flame a candidate without showing my colors. I''m going with the one that can change the mood of the county if nothing else. Real change comes from The People. So far, Barack Obama is the only one willing to listen.

- We''re supposed to go with an unsympathic, uncharismatic, underqualified leader for the sake of women? HRC inheritted her political machinery from her husband. That hardly speaks well of women in general.

- PACIFIC C, I''m wondering how you know it was "blacks", being the popular vote, that did not ***** each candidate fairly and voted according to each candidates character and merit, and that instead it was the whites that did not vote for obama, who were seeing only the color of his skin and being bigoted. Especially when you yourself, seem to think obama is indeed worthy of his win. Frankly, who are you to assume, that an entire race of people(or even just most), acted together ignorantly and racistly, unless you yourself are acting ignorant and racistly toward them. I''m just curious...
ps and even if you''re black, which you very well may be, you are still just as much a racist and bigoted. Just insecure and a sell out to top it all off.
I''m voting for Obama - Reply to this comment
- How dare anyone unilaterally decide when to turn the page on history, papering over real inequities & suffering constituencies in the promise of a feel-good campaign? How dare anyone claim to unify while dividing, or think that to rouse U.S. youth from torpor it%u2019s useful to triage the single largest demographic in this country%u2019s history: the majority of which is female? Old woman are the women who changed the reality of the United States. We are the women who brought this country equal credit, better pay, affirmative action, a family-focused workplace; the women who put childcare on the national agenda, established rape-crisis centers & battery shelters, marital-rape & date-rape laws; fought for prison reform, founded the peace & environmental movements; who insisted that medical research include female anatomy; created women%u2019s studies & Title. We are the proud successors of women who, though it took more than 50 years, won us the vote.
Time is short & the contest tightening. We need to rise in furious energy%u2014as we did when Anita Hill was so vilely treated in the U.S. Senate, as we did when Rosie Jiminez was butchered by an illegal abortion. We need to win, this time. Goodbye to supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton tepidly. Time to volunteer, make phone calls, send emails, donate money, argue, rally, march, shout, vote. I support Senator Clinton because I believe she will make history not only as the first US woman president, but as a great US president. - Robin Morgan - Reply to this comment
- Obama won because whites were fair and assessed each candidate on their positions, not their color, and distributed their vote equally. Blacks once again showed their bigotry, seeing only the color of their skin and not the content of their character, voting overwhelmingly for a brother.

- Wow after that amazing analysis--how do they explain the wins of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, etc- where white women outnumber white men and virtually few blacks live? Obama has won a slew of states that defy the so called poll demographics...or are all those states discarded as anomalies, because they don''t fit the media profile? LMAO

- Sorry - I should clarify - I was meant to say she only won white females aged 45+.

- Change will only come if people get involved. Obama is the only candidate that invites people to get involved. Obama is the least dictitorial of the candidates because he rests his power with The People. Clinton is too hardened to listen to those who disagree with her, and McCain is saddled with the Republican Party. Obama is the only choice.

- Umm - are you not going to mention that he won the latino vote in Maryland? Also, that the only demographic she really won was females aged 45+, and only then by a large margin in females aged 60 ?
This would seem to indicate that her core base might be eroding. - Reply to this comment
