This is ridiculous! Unbelievable to think that Hillary Clinton is suitable to be president! And, John McCain -- another 4 years of Bush for sure!!! And Barrack Obama, the only one of the three that can get this country back on its feet ... Are we hopeless?!!! Can't we see what is at stake ...

When our economy was the best? When have we gained the most number of jobs in the past 10 years? When was our country the safest in the last 20 years? Each one of those answers is, when a Clinton was in the White House....

Hillary for President its the only smart choice.

Lance8:51AMMay 1st 2008

I would rather be voting for someone that has been there and done that before... Hillary has been in the White House and has survived through many of political battles.... Barack Obama has two years of experience in the United States Senate. Out of that two years, 15 months have been spent on the road campaigning for President.... We need Hillary for President its the only smart choice.
Hillary for President 08

Barack Obama shot himself in the foot with his inexperience. Any experienced politician would have addressed Rev. Wright well before declaring for President. These are the judgements that matter and now the right is going to define him as a radical black that condones the rantings of Jeremiah Wright. He may win the nomination as we democrats tend to shoot ourselves in the foot by picking the weakest of candidates, but he will never win the general. Now that's sad and what's even sadder is that I do believe Hillary could win both if the powers that be would just admit it.

I am an african American and a loyal democrat and I will definately not vote OBAMA if he is the parties choice......I and my family of (5) will vote Republican...... these Demo-Rats and Independent have one course in mind, including Howard Dean and that is to destroy the integridy of the Democratic Party from internally. Think About It.......

Hillary is the ONLY one who can defeat McCain. There are too many distractions (which the Republicans will pounce on bigtime) for Obama to be effective. Hillary has toughened herself against the never-ending slams, so she has the tenacity to fight on. She has already proven that. Those who WISH she would drop out have rocks in their head. She is the most competent candidate in the campaign. She has the knowledge of what needs to be done to straighten out the mess created the last 8 yrs. She has the intelligence & capability of accomplishing the task (although it will be a difficult road & it won't happen over night.) I've often wondered who would want the job, but someone has to do it. For the good of our country Hillary NEEDS to be our next leader. Obama lacks the necessary qualities to be a can-do president with the ability to confront the various situations head-on. As Bush has said over & over, "This is hard." Over his head is more accurate. We need a ready, willing & able leader & HILLARY CLINTON IS THE ONE. SHE WILL NEVER GIVE UP! The DNC is responsible for the lengthy process & Hillary should not be expected to be the scapegoat when she's by far the most qualified to handle both domestic & foreign issues. Howard Dean & the superdelegates need to get their head out of the sand & recognize that Obama will fall on his face against McCain. Hillary will remain upright with her head held high & leave her footprints on the path to the White House & be an exemplary president. She has worked together with the Republicans in the past & she will continue to do so. That's her common sense way. Give her a chance & she will prove it! FIGHT ON, HILLARY! YOU ARE THE BEST! The past is over, so LOOK FORWARD WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, PEOPLE. HILLARY IS WORKING FOR ALL OF US!

Cavetroll9:37AMMay 1st 2008

Nice of you to vote for your family of 5 Ray, I am Republican and I will not vote for McCain. I liked Obama as he is the only one saying anything I can relate to. Hilary is a loser and doesn't really have any experience like so many claim. What has she really done other than botch National Health Care and hide records from investigators. The problem with Obama is the double cross by Wright who has decided to sabatoge Obama's election effort.This is a "No Win" election for us all.

Kat9:42AMMay 1st 2008

I keep asking myself one question. Why are so many high ranking Democrats supporting a basically inexperienced unknown candidate for President? Wonder where the money trail would lead?

Cavetroll9:44AMMay 1st 2008

The only thing we can do when faced with the bunch of losers we are faced with in this election is write in Joe Lieberman.

No Obama9:45AMMay 1st 2008

Kat9:42AMMay 1st 2008

I'm with you. These politicians are following the money by supporting Obama. They know that he is inexperienced and probably plan to control him just the way that G.W. Bush is controlled today. Hillary Clinton cannot be controlled....they are afraid of that!

Southernhoosiers4hillary9:48AMMay 1st 2008

Hillary Clinton has the better case beyond any doubt. Obama only won the primary in Republican states. No democrat can win these states in Novemeber. The biggest issues are Obama doesn't carry the core of the base, without which he can't win. The other issue is he did not get more votes. Hillary Clinton has the majority of votes, and is the only one that beat McCain. Obama has too much unexplored baggage. Clinton has baggage too, but as she said we have already been through hers and she is still standing. Then there is the whole Michigan and Florida thing. These democrats are not going to vote for Obama knowing full well he is the reason that their votes did not count in the primary.

Georgette9:50AMMay 1st 2008

I think the last several weeks have shown.

A matter of experience.

A matter of experience, or lack thereof, has been a major area of focus and debate in conjunction with the current presidential campaign. It has been mentioned many times that experience matters much more than having just a vision for change. Then there are those that contend that the experience does not matter and that all you need is a vision.

In line with the matter of experience, I would like to ask the following;

Has there been a major corporation wherein a junior executive, with less than four years on the job, has become the CEO of that corporation?

Has there been a reputable Law firm wherein a junior Lawyer, with less than four years on the job, has become a full partner or was assigned a major case for that firm?

Has there been a Police Department or Fire department wherein a rookie officer/firefighter, with less than four years on the job, has become the chief of Police or the Fire Captain?

Has there been a major media outlet, such as a newspaper, magazine, or news outlet such as CNN, where a junior reporter, with less than four years on the job, has become the Editor in Chief or an anchor for the news?

The list could run on. The major point here is that in each and every case experience does matter. Across all aspects of our society, it has been proven that those with the experience on the job are those that have earned the right to move up into a position of leadership.

Therefore, it is also true with decidedly the most important leadership job in our country, if not the world. To be the President of the United States requires experience. Having a vision for change is a good thing. Not having the proven experience to see that vision carried out is quite another.

With the current state of our nation, the job of our next President will be one of the toughest in history. The rising deficit, our declining economy and jobs market, the meltdown in both the financial and housing markets, Global warming and its potential impacts, the immigration crisis and the War in Iraq and Afghanistan, are just some of the critical challenges that our next President must address. It is going to take much more than just a vision to take on the issues facing our nation and its people. It is going to take experience, a lot of experience.

I urge that the people of America consider this fact as they continue with the process of choosing who is to sit in the Oval Office come next January. As I have stated vision is a good thing. It has been at the heart and soul of our nation since the founding. It took great vision to challenge the powers of the time and give birth to the oldest democracy on our planet. However without proven experience the vision would have been lost.

Experience does matter.

Hillary Clinton 2008

Wanda10:10AMMay 1st 2008

Hillary is the one. Unfortunately, Obama has shown us time and again that he doesn't have what it takes to be President. He is NOT a fighter: (1)He refuses to debate because he's "already debated 21 times" - and in the last one demonstrated his inability to respond well in tight situations; 2) He "finally" had to take a stand against Wright, even though there were NO new revelations - too bad his stance came twenty years late; (3) He claims the public is "tired" of the Wright controversy - translation, he's been hurt badly and wants to move forward. The reality is Obama is an intelligent, ambitious man who finagled his way into public office by disqualifying his opposition and sucking up to the wrong people - Ayers, Wright, and Farrakhan, among others. Obama speaks very well - inspirational even - but without the experience or record to back up his claims. He stands for "change" - which he has yet to define. When he had a chance to prove he was a "different politician" by working on behalf of the disenfranchised voters of two states, he acted like a typical politician - he sicced his lawyers on them. I don't know who will win the nomination, but I do know that if Obama is selected, he will NOT win the General Election. Hillary has the brains, the experience, and the guts to clean up the mess that Bush leaves behind. Obama does not.

Christian10:12AMMay 1st 2008

Is anyone has realized yet, that the MEDIA CLOWNS is covering up for Barak Hussein Obama? It seems that they are lying to the American people with shutting up their mouth about WHO IS REALLY THAT BO is?

The man has never believed, nor loved this ountry of ours. The same BO was a proud of wearing the KENIAN MUSLIM GUARDS UNIFORM, BUT NOT THE AMERICAN FLAG! Beam me up; he won't be my COMANDER-IN-CHIEF, nor he should be at anywhere in this Government of ours. Wake up America, and DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BIASED MEDIA CLOWNS, that which they ARE WHORING AROUND TO COVER UP HIS MUSLIM FANNY!

For TWENTY YERAS he was LISTENING to the HATE PREACHING, and the DISVOWING OF OUR BELOVED NATION, and now he says: he never has heared it before!

Well, whether he is A DUMB OBSERVANT, or A LYING, or BOTH; and this is NOT A GOOD CHARACTER, NOR A TRUST WORTHY; NEVER MIND A PRESIDENT!!!!!!!
