This malarkey angers me! I am as liberal as liberal gets and I am not a firm supporter of either candidate as of yet. But honestly, the more the country kisses Obama's backside and picks at every little detail of Hillary's daily existence the more I resent this level of stupidity. I am not blaming Obama for the immature behavior of his minions. I just wish I could grasp the reasoning behind this fervent and almost cult-like devotion. Most of his supporters are going on "instinct"... blathering about hope and change and warm fuzzy feelings. If anyone points out that he has a less than perfect track record... well, out come the rabid wolves clamoring to his defense. Let Hillary cough though and it's worthy of derogatory headlines.

Danbury posted: “You see to it that a law that people vote is made, and I will promise you I will vote in every election.
Until then, I'll make my own decisions.
K?

if you don't vote, don't bitch. if you don't VOTE, your continuing political masturbating here suggests that you really don't CARE. That maybe your political commentary is superficial and hypocritical.

Your political responsibilities and DUTY as a citizen of the United States of America include VOTING.

If only the fascists and religious fanatics vote, what kind of government do you think we get?


100% increases in voter turnout! Whoo hoo!!!

If I did not like Senator Clinton before, I absolutely adore her now. The media treats her far worse than it does Bush/Cheney. And why does Senator Obama get treated like a god just because he knows how to give a good speech?

That's cool that the reporter had enough respect to cut the interview~

Well let's hope that the anonymous person who posted this finds out the meaning of the old cliche...what goes around, comes around in a real personal way. If Karma is working then they better go out and buy some cold medicine pronto.

I'm an Edwards supporter and even I was offended by this post. The reason I came to this post was because on your front page it read - Watch: Hillary's coughing fit cuts interview short. It sounded almost gleeful. What is wrong with you people?

Obama supporter here, but this is really not worthy of a news headline. So she coughed. There's no news, and no purpose to the story. Sheesh.

Her coughing fit came at just the perfect time! If she is prone to these coughing fits, why doesn't she keep a bottle of water with her?

This is an electorate that is really aware of what's going on around them, more so than in any campaign that we have ever seen. There's a real deep awareness;people are watching what is going on. And that is what is so different about this.

Is there an informed awareness? Yes, i think there is, unlike anything we've seen or are accustomed to, and we don't quite understand it at this point, nor are we able to sort out its real meaning. We're seeing people being energized in so many ways. They're responding! There is something different going on, its pretty significant, and I think it's right for America.

Is Ms. Clinton going to win? 50-50. But whoever is the Democratic nominee, its a 75% chance they will be the next president.

"Hillary Coughing Fit Cuts Short Live Interview" -- and your point, HP, is what precisely?!?!?! The lady's been losing her voice and hacking up a lung for two days or more (check out the AP photo at the upper right of this web page). Give her a break, HP! Oh, wait...I forgot who I was talking to, Sen. Clinton can't/won't get a break around here.

Good God Almighty. Are you serious? This is the top story on Huffington Post? Why is this newsworthy? This is pathetic.

It's this kind of nonsense that made me find a new home page.
Senator Clinton deserves better.
