Hillary''s camp admits that their fatal flaw was spending all the money up front, not expecting any real competition or to go the distance. Was nice of Obama''s folks to try and help her settle her millions in campaign debt. Where do I sign up for a deal like that?

Hillary won the last half of the elections. People were finally figuring out who the Bama was. If only she would of started winning eariler. Then we would have Bill for President for another 8 years.

Credibility writes: "let''s not forget Obama''''s wealth and how he and Michelle got it". Well, unlike McCain, he didn''t dump his disfigured wife who patiently waited for his return for a hot beer baroness (who he was having an affair with before he divorced his previous wife in ... wait for it... "ELITIST" HAWAII. Anyway, Obama probably mostly got his wealth from book sales and from working his way up from nothing. It''s called "the American Dream" where somebody can come from humble beginnings and make something of themselves.

Why it is that people still feel that Hillary had the experience to be president?
Eight years as first lady, NOT sitting in on any economic, military, international, domestic, meetings,
simple does not equate into ezperience which would qualify her for the office.
Looking back at all the scandals that tainted the Clintons from Arkansas to the White House I do not understand why people still support them.
It would be wise for Obama to distance himself from the Clintons and certainly not annoint Hillary with any meaningful office in his regime.

That is why it is important to vote. It is too bad that we get to pick between the lesser of two evils, but figure out which one you think is the lesser and vote for that one. Bad politicians are elected by people who don''t vote.

We need to unite behind Obama to defeat the fascist corporations. It is now life or death. While electing a woman is progressive, so is electing a (half) black man. That brings into the political process the black population who have been the biggest losers of the GOP regime since 1980.

"Outside sources say that Ted Kennedy''s malignant brain tumor may be an orchestrated attempt to distract from his real legacy...". Perhaps, but I suspect these are the same sources that referred to Obama as the "manchurian antichrist who intends to declare war on Santa Claus and impregnate your little sister". The emails that cousin Bubba sends you should not be considered gospel. Same goes for the Pelosi/Dean conspiracy theories.

Wonder if Gore will steal the nomination on Thursday night when he speaks before Obama? Sources say he has about 100 super delegates in his back pocket to deter any other candidate from winning nomination.

Obama''''''''s job was to rid of Hillary. Once done, he is to be rid of too via his own *** and money scandals.

The roll call has been a democratic tradition since the 1880''''''''s and should be allowed. Otherwise it would be another GOP stolen election if not already based on how Pelosi and Dean had already orchestrated MI and FLA vote fiascos in the summer of 2007 in favor of Obama.

Outside sources say that Ted Kennedy''''''''s malignant brain tumor may be an orchestrated attempt to distract from his real legacy which is his 1968/69 Chappaquidic ***/murder scandal instead because chemo and radiation patients lose weight due to loss of appetite, have jauntice, etc. Teddy looks fine as if he just got off his sailing boat and enjoyed lots of seafoods....

What''s anyone''s point about McCain not readily knowing how many houses he, actually his wife, own? Obama doesn''t even know how many states the US has. Obama can''t even introduce his running mate correctly. Obama can''t even tell the truth about this long-term relationship with the likes of Wright, Pfleger, etc. Why is it not OK for McCain to make gaffes, but when the great pretender Obama makes any, why it''s fatigue, etc.? And the age thing is hilarious. Obama supporters trashed Hillary because of her age, yet Biden I believe is the same age. And wealth, let''s not forget Obama''s wealth and how he and Michelle got it. Biden is hardly a middle class person and has considerably real estate as well. Let''s stop trying to hide behind these distractions. If some want an even playing field without bumps and rocks, then it will have to work both ways. Obama has already proven he will not be change that anyone can count on or believe in.

I do wonder if Dems will ever tear into Obama for being a Christian & Biden for being a dedicated Catholic as they do Repub religious folks????

If they do at least they would be consistant.
If they don''t, they would be hypocrites.

Bush linked Saddam Hussein to Al Queida. He made a bogus claim of WMD in Iraq. Thousands are dead & trillions of blood money has been spent.

MORAL of the story: It doesn''t matter what you say or whether it is true. It only matters what the people believe.

Many Hillary supporters will not vote for McCain. However, they certainly aren''t going to vote for Obama. His disrespect during the primary, particularly painting the Clintons as equal to Bush, was not only pathetic, old school politics, it was dishonest.

The DNC abandoned the Clintons. Now, millions of Democrats will be abandoning the Democratic party. Many former Democrats will not vote for either candidate & let the hard core politicos duke it out. That''s what happens when you abandon the backbone of the Democratic party: Latinos/Hispanics, Women, Elderly, Catholic & Blue Collar Voters. Perhaps Obama will convince enough Republicans/Independents to pull up the slack.

May the least dangerous candidate win.

realpatriot1-

you sound exactly like a condescending harvardian elists snub!

you just proved my point!

YOUR JOB IS TO pacify and be a sounding board to us and not be some know-it-all-i''m-better-than-you guru who antagonizes the frustrated and bitter further.

As a supporting member of "Both Candidates Suck 08''" I can tell you that there are alot of retired folks that were Obama supporters but are changing thier minds because the Dems keep pounding on McCain because of his age. All those retired voters that have nothing else to do but vote are becoming quite offended. Dems keep implying that because he''s old he''s not fit to do the job and that is not sitting well with all those retired voters. If Dems want the old folk vote they should stop insulting them.

Change? A Black man and a woman running now that would be change. Especially when the lady has 18million people in her corner. Mr.Obama had the chance to put his change slogan in play. The chance to be daring and bold. Instead we get the same. Just another politician , too bad, you had it in the bag. A sad day for the Democrats and our nation. I guess the one who is really about change was miss Clinton. Well it doesn''t matter now. If Mr Obama made the choice he did then it shows that he is not cunning or smart as we thought and hoped he might be.How could he ignore the fact that the only reason he won was the crossover movement done by the Republicans who helped him beat Hillary. Or tell me and America you did not know about that.Well it doesn''t matter that we are doomed to life under a Republican for 4 more years.After all the Chinese culture is quite interesting and they will be the ones calling the shots ina few years anyway.

Its about time Wall Street got the picture. When Mr. & Mrs. America have high fuel, energy, food & shelter to pay for there''''s not much left over for the Madison Avenue Crowd to get rich on.

That''''s the way it should be. AS long as the people keep getting gouged by the World Oil Speculators that have been lying & created excuses for their personal gain, then its time for the people to quit buying stock, etc.

Most of us have families to support. Not to mention that heating oil continues to be at an all time high. At $4/GAL do the math what does it cost to fill up a 275 gal heating oil tank once a month during the winter months.

The only way the people are going to get any RELIEF from these oil outlaws is make Dow Jones feel the pitch. Folks, your money talks an this is the only language these swindlers understand.

Where''''s the liberal congress, jesse jackson, chavez & the clintons when you need some relief. The talk is cheap. Make em suffer we''''ve had enough.

Somebody who didn''t actually check the facts wrote: "Obama has been rated the most liberal Senator...". OK, let me borrow the Bushit detector a moment... Cool, my turn to operate this. BWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPP!!!! Hey it works! OK, for those who actually check the facts from legit sources such as thomas.loc.gov or actually check out Obama''s stated policies, he''s solid middle of the road; much more than a lot of his relatively liberal voters care for. Chain emails from Bubba, right-wing smear websites, and Rush/Hannity/O''Reilly are NOT legit news sources. His voting record is about the same as Clinton or most of the others. Just because he''s not a Joe Lieberman doesn''t make him a "liberal".
