I like Hillary as a person, but loathe her as a politician.

Sooner or later, the Hillary supporters will have to realize she's not right for America nor she will win the nomination.

If you guys want to keep supporting her so she can drag on this fight, be our guest. But in the end, America decides. No matter how much money or negative ads you employ to attack Obama, it wouldn't matter.

- The New Coalition for America Towards Prosperity

People who care about democracy should lie to poll-takers.

While in Iowa, the Clinton team was saying that New Hampshire was their firwall. It appears the firewall is now in flames.

The Democratic party cannot and will not allow the Clintons to attempt to destroy Barack Obama with negative attack ads. Any politician that bring hundreds of thousands of new voters into the fold cannot be dismissed or destroyed. Hillary Clinton subtracts from the party, Barack Obama adds to the party and so it is. There is word that pressure will be put on Hillary to drop her candidacy, should she loose the first 4 primaries and caucuses.

Many big wig Democrats are now endorsing Obama, but the Obama campaign is holding back the announcement. The pressure will mount from the Democratic party for Hillary to get out after SC, she stays in at her own peril. Not only will Barack Obama be elected president, he’ll bring lots of other elected to congress with him, the party is not going to risk destroying him before the Republicans get at him. Hillary Clinton continues on this path and she’ll loose her influence in the senate along with Sen. Majority leader Ried who will be a goner for sucker punching Obama on Hillary’s behalf.

If Hillary goes too negative - that will be the end of her campaign.

Just a little history behind this blog...Arianna Huffington has been a staunch republican since she has arrived in the US in 1980. She married millionaire Michael Huffington, a republican who won a seat in Congress in 1992 and then lost a senatorial race to Dianne Feinstein.
Her so called "conversion" to liberal politics just a few years ago I find questionable in the very least and assume it is just her dislike of G.W.Bush..her avid support on this blog for Barack Obama falls into the republican playbook of Karl Rove, having Obama win the nomination and as an easy target for even the lowest polling republican... knowing the only viable asset of Obama is charisma which just won't cut it in a presidential election...

As a life long Dem, and a sworn elephant hunter, I believe that this discourse is healthy, especially for the American people. The Bush/Cheney neo-cons and their money grubbing lobbyist infrastructure, dupped the American people with their fear tactics of "Guns, God, and Gays."

The hens came home to roost in Iraq. And the curtain has been pulled back on the Idiot/Wizard of Ozz. Not only does the Emperor not have on any clothes, he doesn't have a brain!!!! AND he was surpassed in retardation, only, by those who voted for him, both times.

All of America wants change. Even 'Bubba,' who thought Curious George would be an ok guy to have a beer with. Well, we all learned that the guy you have a beer with, isn't capable of honest and responsible leadership. He is just a wolf in sheep's clothing.

This November 2008, the electorate will sweep the Repugs from both houses, and turn the control of the country back to the people.

Any one of the Democratic candidates, is supremely qualified to run this country. The republican dweebs are morally inept and can not be trusted.

Democrats, keep the competition going, keep motivating dis-enfranchised people to register and become active in the electoral process (something the republicans have long sought to thwart), and lets run these scoundrels who have shipped our jobs over seas, indebted our grandchildren, and reeked havoc on the average working Americans, out of office.

Ready for Trench Warfare? The people don't want you Mrs. Clinton. As far as I'm concerned, you really no different than George W. Bush.

I see Obamapost headlined the poll that had the largest lead for Obama--not the two that have a 1 and 2 point margin, respectively, taken today also. Go Hillary.

obam is another great betrayal of the electorate. everything is wonderful about him except the truth.

supporting LIEberman over lamont
teo LIEberman advisors on his staff.
a corporatized health plan that would strand 45,000,000 americans
a bomb Iran policy announced at the AIPAC conference.

give the media credit. they never deal with that.

Your going to let polls, the media, and celebs make your mind up for you?

Okay

If New Hampshire is an open primary, look for Obama to win big. Rove and his weasels will be sure to help us pick the “best” candidate.

My support continues for Senator Obama. He is a popularist, a humanist, embodying what people said they wanted from Bush, someone who will work to bring people together around common goals. He is an international man learnig first-hand about the world outside the US in his formative years. His family connections to Islam could make him less of an Us-against-Them threat to world leaders with whom we need to develop diplomacy. He appears a whole new type of American president to usher in a whole new type of American policy, understanding that inviting talks with leaders from unfriendly countries as a very early act in office is vitally important, that the posturing being done in our name has only increased ill-will and hostilities. He comes from community organizing roots and knows the real concerns of real people. He is the father of two young girls, giving him the kind of compassion and hopes for the future that comes with parenthood. He is enthusiastic and charismatic, making it about all of us. I am impressed by his organizing ability, his sleeves rolled-up demeanor, and his inspirational approach. Of course he's not perfect; nobody is. But he's a helluva lot better than what we often get as our voters' choice.

What really moves me, in my crazy idealist soul, is his seemingly genuine "of the people" exhortation to self-empowerment, to community instead of opposition based on false differences, to empathy, harmony and compassion. The only righteous answer to big government is community. The only real defense against big government ruling our individual lives is taking back our power, first by believing we can.

I see him as someone who can pull us all together into a dynamic movement of all of the people willing to be moved.

If we the people really took to heart that being "we, the people who create this society and do what it takes to make it work for all of us" we would get not only the government we deserve, but a government we could be proud of.

Very amusing to see Hill-Shills and Repub trolls frantically singing "The Sky is Falling" in harmony.

Just as telling as Hillary's desperate attacks and laughable reference to herself as a candidate for change in Saturday night's debate (anyone remember Bill Clinton bragging that he and Daddy Bush would be working together if Hillary is POTUS?)

Sorry but just as it was proven in Iowa, smear and fear won't work this time around with the majority who are fed up with gutter politics and want real change.

The Obama surge will churn into a tidal wave after Tuesday and all those predicting doom will be left high and dry in a shrinking minority once again.

Hillary can't sling enough dirt to stop him. Barack Obama is running away with this and there is nothing that she can do to stop this historical momentum. Nothing.
