Comments on: Which Democrat Has Bigger Coattails?

CBSNews.com Reports: Eventual Nominee Charged With Boosting Slim Majorities In Congress

[hillaryin08]

Obamma is winning by Popular Vote, Pledged Delegates and States but the Clintons will manage to steal the Nomination from him anyway. This will come from the Secret Delegates (Party Bosses) and getting Florida and Michigan reinstated after both candidates signed an agreement prior to the election with the DNC that the vote would not count there. The sad thing is all the Mainstream Liberals will give the Clintons a pass. There will be no outrage from the %u201COld School%u201D Left over it. Every Vote Counts? I don%u2019t think so.

As a feminist I am surprised by younger women supporting Obama. Both his Muslim fathers abandoned him yet he writes a book about their dreams. What about his strong mother and grandmother who had to abandon their dreams to raise the son his fathers forgot about. He chose the black race over commitment to a mother that fought for him to become what he is today. His long gone fathers had nothing to do with him. I am ashamed for any woman who does not see through his blatant sexism. The only change Obama will bring about is for his black brothers.

This party has not been winning with the base that it has and it has a chance to change that. If Democrats want to leave they''''re free to do so and if Independents and Republicans want to join us they''''re also welcome to do so.

The Hillary way has cost us the past 2 elections and has held down our Congressional majority. Let''''s not forget how we lost our last Congressional majority for 12 years. It was a result of the failures of the Clintons.

Great post. Americans of all political parties need to understand our window to change is open. Clinton and McCain offer the same slop we have been fed for the past 27 years. Inflation is rising and our comfort in life is decreasing and will continue to get worse if we allow the OLD GUARD to stay in power. They will NOT change a thing. It works for them. It is time for the next generation to take over and bring new ideas and options to America.

You area a sick sick person.... I bet you stand outside in the ran and wonder why you are getting wet. McCain is the LAST THING we need. Your back woods southern mentality toward world affairs and especially womens roles in them are no longer accepted in this country. I for one do not give a s*hit if terrorist do not respect women.

For your information terrorist never respects anyone other than thier own radical kind. Te only way to deal with terrorism is to not feed the fuel it needs to survive. This war is thier fuel and they have grown in strength because of idiot ideas like yours and GWB''s.

One other thought--Clearly the republicans have to be worried--John McCain offered his coattail for Hastert''s seat--Obama offered his--Foster won! Scary for republicans trying desperately to downplay and spin this election, but you can bet the republicans and Hillary Clinton would have been all over this is if the republicans had won. Bob Dylan said it best "the times they are a changing."

Barack Hussein claims to be a Christian now, but the church he has attended for the last 10+ years is a black supremacy, anti-semantic, racist church that last year awarded their highest award, a lifetime achievement award, to Louis Farrakhan. If you visit the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago web site, you are first greeted with a logo of Africa, and in their opening %u201CWho are we%u201D statement says, %u201CWe are an African people, and remain true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.%u201D Their mission statement references W.E.B. Dubois.

darrren12000,

We both know that while some Dems will be stupid enough to vote for McCain because their candidate lost the nomination most will either vote for the eventual nominee or not vote at all. The same cannot be said for Independents.

Since the country is split relatively equally between
Democrats, Republicans, and Independents it is an absolute and irrefutable fact that Independents will decide the election. Your sarcasm is a poor excuse for an argument.

Most people do not pledge to one party or the other for their entire lives, unless they have no capability to change as conditions and circumstances change.

If Obama is the nominee plenty of Hillary supporters will abandon him. Plenty of them are only supporting Hillary to begin with because of a resistance to change. It''s obvious from the bogus arguments people use against Obama but don''t apply to the other candidates what''s really at work with many "Democrats".

This party has not been winning with the base that it has and it has a chance to change that. If Democrats want to leave they''re free to do so and if Independents and Republicans want to join us they''re also welcome to do so.

The Hillary way has cost us the past 2 elections and has held down our Congressional majority. Let''s not forget how we lost our last Congressional majority for 12 years. It was a result of the failures of the Clintons.

tru_american1--Who better to choose a nominee for supreme court justice than someone who taught constitutional law? Someone who respects the constitution, will enforce the consatitution?
Obama clearly is the best choice if you are giving a presidential nominee this litmus test.

[darrren12000]

tru america - dems dont decide elections. ok - when dems abandon obama, let''s see if that holds true.

[darrren12000]

i think obama is going to find a cure for aids and cancer and will end poverty, racism, global warming, crime, and hatred. we need him as president. he healed leprosy in illinois. there is no more leprosy in illinois. america needs obama

[omega39-2009]

Independents decide every election. Period.

True, I have been registered independent for years and am hoping Obama wins the nomination and goes on to the presidency. With that being said, I am also a realist. I don''t particularly like Hillary but we must remember that Justice Stevens is 89 years old and McCain is running around saying he is going to appoint strict "constitutionalists" to the bench. The real change has already occurred when Sandra day O''Connor retired, lets not move the court even further right.

[lordmi]

Whatever they will feel - they are not the authority for us and for US to pick a President. We are in charge to pick the one, who will and can, but not scanfalist woman with poor loser experience of wife - that is all, she has in her "experience" pocket

[jack3213]

BOTH DEMOCRATS WOULD BE CELEBRATED BY TERRORISTS IF ELETED, NOT JUST OBAMA. THE OTHER BEING A WOMAN IS ALSO A REASON TO CHEER FOR CONGUERING THE USA AS TERRORISTS HAVE NO REGARD OR RESPECT FOR WOMEN AT ALL. IF WE WERE TO LEAVE IRAQ THEY WOULD CELEBRATE KNOWING WE ARE THE COWARDS THEY PROJECTED US TO BE. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FIGHT THE WAR ON TERROR, THIS DOES NOT MEAN RUNNING AWAY FROM IT AND BEING IN A STATE OF DENIAL. MCCAIN IS OUR ONLY CHOICE : BE PART OF THE SOLUTION, NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM.
