Why is it that certain Clinton supporters want/need to categorize the Obama supporters? I venture to say that all other Clinton supporters support all of your positions. Granted, this is a heated contest; but, YOU are not the one running for President. If you choose to rebut someone''s comments, why don''t you do that and stop putting all supporters in the same category.

Too many whites in WV - Obama can''t hoodwink enough voters here. Here come all the America is Racist stories from NYT and WPO and Time and Newsweek. Obama cant win the White vote so we all are racist - 90% of blacks vote in lock step for Obama - thats more racists - at least 40% of White DEMs are voting for Obamination. The self hating White Liberals need to push the RACIST theme to make us all feel bad about not voting for a Black President. Too bad he''s more LIBERAL than Kennedy and Schumer and Reid and Pelosi and Boxer and Durbin.

YOUR COMMENT ILLUSTRATES HOW OBAMA AND HIS SUPPORTERS VIEW THE WORKING CLASS. IT SHOWS HIS ELITIST OUT OF TOUCH WITH WORKING CLASS, MIDDLE CLASS AMERICA.

OBAMA CAN''T WIN WITHOUT THE WORKING "MIDDLE" CLASS.

YOUR BASHING WHITE WORKING MEN AND WOMEN ONLY DIVIDES THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. OF COURSE ANYONE WHO IS WHITE, AND SUPPORTS HILLARY IS A RACIST. MICHELLE''S ANGER AND "BITTER" AGAINST WHITE AMERICA, WILL NOT SIT WELL WITH THE "MEAN" AMERICAN PEOPLE IN NOV. " IF" OBAMA, IS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

GOD "BLESS" AMERICA. NOT "G D" AMERICA.

Maybe you are correct regarding not many people knowing about Obama but I have known about Obama since 2000. I live in Illinois. Therefore, I think you are doing way too much categorizing. Being real is important not just in life in general but also in our responses here. There are many reasons that I am supporting Obama; however, I find no reason to list them here. Mind you, my reasons may NOT be the same reasons as other Obama supporters. Finally, as the pundits are also saying, W.VA may not necessarily be voting for Hillary, they may actually be voting against Obama. The problem for Hillary is that this is the same thing that may have happened in approximately 31 states that Obama won. Who''s to say?

Somewhere in NY a lonely kitchen stove needs cleaning. Where''s lil'' Hillary? Still criss crossing the country pipe dreaming about a woman becoming president, smirk...somebody please tell lil'' missy that we are a nation at war, so the next president cannot be clad in an apron offering our terrorist enemies a batch of bake goods from a cake mixing bowl. Remember, terrorist don''t play softball or powder-puff football. lil'' missy go home to your kitchen stove. Got apron?

Hmmm...I would say that what I posted was not bashing. I would say that it was nothing more than what Hillary did in repeating what was said earlier by the pundits. There is no reason to be upset with me because of what "they" said. Hmmm...in fact, isn''t that what Hillary recently did when she reportedly quoted what was in an AP article? Additionally, my post had nothing to do with what "you" wrote but with the primary being held today. Finally, military service IS NOT a requirement to be the POTUS! It is a good plus; but, not required experience on how best to rule/direct a military. There will be MORE issues than the future use of our military that will be addressed in the debate that McCain will not have a leg to stand on.

Once again, I was not attacking Hillary or her supporters but instead restating comments. I understand you are a loyal and staunch Clinton supporter but please recognize that I "DID NOT" resort to calling her derogatory names which, yes, have been posted before!

Barack Obama is more of an oasis of optimism and less than a mirage of same despair in the apathy desert that is American politics.

Like opinions every citizen has a single vote of equal worth.

Political candidate scrutiny is a good thing.

I challenge anybody to discover a thriving politician even in the United States to be free from any dubious link to something at sometime that would not offend or aggrieve someone somewhere.

Is Obama perfect no way. Can he learn more sure.

Can he realize enhanced understanding of all Americans concerns no doubt.

Perhaps for the first time in a long time ordinary voters feel drawn to a candidate like Obama because their one and only valued vote could actually make a noticeable compass heading direction change in national politics.

Voters believe that a better or positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary. Eureka.

Please exercise your right to debate and vote for who ever you want.

Respect the rights of others to vote and freely debate for their candidate.

Rejoice in Americas hard won freedoms to cast your vote with bona fide unfettered choice and to critically debate your choice for change openly.

Vile candidate or voter bashing with malice is a cowards folly on the low road to anarchy.

For every person that supports Obama or Clinton there is equal amounts or more who do not favor them just as strongly- but the media does not tell you that. The media has always been biased towards Democrats for the last 4o years- or more- they will destroy the party they support in the end- it ultimatle will be the media that takes it away from you- in this case for good reason.Think of it as them doing you a favor.

Save your keystrokes, friend. The OBAMA nation has been blinded and deafened. They REALLY DON''T GET THAT HILLARY HANDLED OBAMA WITH KID GLOVES! Nobody EVER HEARD OF OBAMA before the Senate/Presidential Campaign. I''m honestly looking forward to the skeletons.

Did you not read what''''s below you''''re posting?! Bill Clinton saved MANY of us from the REAGAN/BUSH White House and Congress. And this is how you treat his wife?! I''''m not havin'''' it!! We CLINTON supporters SEE how ludricrous (that means EXTREMELY STUPID) it is that a man who NEVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY has "the stones" to tell America that he knows what''''s best for veterans(ROTFLMAO)! That''''s inexperience at it''''s best. But OBAMA is this generation''''s CHOSEN WARRIOR.

Posted by TiredoftheBS at 07:34 AM : May 13, 2008

And bear in mind that McCain is not only a VETERAN SENATOR and former NAVY OFFICER, he was a prisoner in THE WORST P.O.W. PRISON IN MODERN HISTORY. And a freshman Senator is going to convince America he''ll make a better Commander in Chief?! No wonder he BELIEVES so much in HOPE.

NO Matter what happens in W VA. Obama has it in the bag on the Dem side if only temporarily. He has no shot in hell winning the General election. We all know that, well, atleast the awake ones do.

A West Virginia win for Hillary will be nothing more than a last gasp or natural spontaneous nerve response of a dying/dead campaign. The super-delegates know this as well as the rest of the country. I believe some of the broadcast and print journalists are correct, Hillary is only going on because she has a media blocker on her tv and internet connection as well as a "pit bull" (read: Bill) on her front lawn to keep the paperboy away. That way she can''t see the inevitable conclusion of the race and she can continue without feeling guilty about trying to destroy/divide the democratic party.

THe OBAMA nation needs to lighten up on the CLINTON BASHING! Senator McCain is HATED among the GOP because he''s almost LIBERAL enough to be a DEMOCRAT. But you chose to accept only what you hear in the media. If his stance was to end the war in the gulf, he would be VERY APPEALING. Many of you NEVER EVEN HEARD of Barack until he started running for Senate/President (so much for the community activists claims). We CLINTONS supporters will probably support OBAMA in November (I will ONLY because he said he''ll end the war). You DO need to listen to our views as well.

On Monday, Obama broke from his usual practice by sporting the flag pin on his suit jacket ... He criticized Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain for opposing a Democratic bill to expand education benefits for veterans.

(wonder what else was attached to this legislation?)

I HOPE THE OBAMA NATION READ THIS! Let''s see .... your going to attack your rival on THIS ISSUE?! Veterans are former military(of which YOUR NOT). You are going to debate this man on NATIONAL TV and convince America you''re a better Commander in Chief when it''s widely known that he was a P.O.W. in the HANOI HILTON?! What the (expletive)?!!! I''ve said it before, OBAMA''s inexperience will be his downfall!!!!!!!
