- This article implies that the right-wing machine will come after Obama, so here''s some free advice: Don''t bother wasting your money. Unlike Gore-Lieberman or Kerry-Edwards, Obama will hand these Karl Rove types their ***** if they dare tangle with the Obama shuffle.

- The Clintons are tight fisted money grabbers. Despite lining their pockets with 109 MILLION, Hillary merely LOANS her campaign 5 MILLION. Why doesnt she GIVE it to her campaign instead of LOANING and put her money where her mouth is? After all, other candidates like Mitt Romney put millions of their own money into their own campaigns.
That way she would be showing that she has complete confidence in herself and her campaign and this in turn would encourage other donations.
However, she loans instead of gives to her own campaign because she knows she is going to lose so she would rather lose donors money in her futile campaign and keep all her millions nice and safe; so she can sleep in a solid gold bed with a mattress stuffed with 100 dollar bills. And solid gold pant suits for herself and Chelsea !! - Reply to this comment
- Just say NO to Obama the Scammer!
He''s just starting out and he''s already so corrupt he''s got $ sign prints in his arse!
He''s already stolen $300 million from you and sent it to his slumlord friends in Chicago to build more slums and suck off section 8 housing money.
How much more do you want to let him use for his payola game! - Reply to this comment
- Obama would be foolish to go into a deal with McCain to only use public financing, the right-wing 527 non-profit groups would absolutely kill Obama in political ads and he would quickly run out of money attempting to keep up with the ad war against the right-wing groups. Obama hasnt gotten this far to fall into an obvious trap by the right-wingers, he is making a smart move....Obama 2008

- I guess I would call myself %u201Coptimist%u201D, but right now I%u2019m more %u201Cmad%u201D than anything.
I%u2019ll vote for Obama, but I%u2019ll also vote for Hillary. My optimism makes me a Democrat. Even if Obama doesn%u2019t win the election I%u2019m still glad he%u2019s out there....same with Hillary.
Republicans are sad; an angry tragedian%u2026the worst America has to offer...
We have yet to endure the tactical and strategic blunder that the war in Iraq really is.
I know!
Why don''t we bomb other countries that have schools, water, power, and police for their people? We can quickly lower the population, while creating enemies for our industrial military complex?
How''s that sound Republicans?
Bush Sees "Defining Moment" In Iraq? He saw WMD, Al Qaeda; mobile weapons labs, terrorist training facilities, missiles that could reach New York, 45-minute ready chemical weapons, none of which were there.
What he will see is his legacy and his Parties demise, but at least I got my $600 %u201Ceconomic stimulus%u201D check from China!!
You wanna get some Republicans?....lets go.........other wise go sit in the corner with your talking point spewing fallacy of a constituency.....

- You have to hand it to Obama for hutzpah at least. I am really surprised that Obama didnt simply say that he sees both sides, like he does on every other issue so far and as he would if elected. Do we really want a President that want take a position of strength and keep it or just another poll watcher? And before you retort that at least a poll ask the public, please ask yourself if the polls youve seen lately are accurate to even 1% of the population and if the people polled are even able to vote.
