If by "change" you mean a candidate who's not willing to stand or be photographed in the same room as San Francisco's mayor because the mayor supports gay marriage, I am not sure that's the kind of "change" America needs.

No one said it was going to be easy to beat the establishment. The thing people underestimate about the Obama campaign is how hard the Grass Roots support works. They really should be complimented and applauded for how close they have help make this race. The energy of these younger voters and the coalition is inspiring. More work to come but the goal is attainable and still in sight. Keep up the good work!

Obama 08

Umm, Sam, California is the Golden State...Fl­orida's the Sunshine State.

Young whippersna­ppers...

Just in on msnbe, Obama takes lead in delegate count 838 to 834!!!

Senator Clinton has a strong plan to start pulling out troops in 60 days. And bring our troops home in one year after she takes office. She does not just throw words around. She has a plan to safely bring our troops home. Several military officials have said her plan is the strongest, well thought out and solid plan to bring our troops home safely ASAP. Obamas is not.

Amen to that! Obama is preacher who tells everyone how to live their lives. And his followers think he is God.

I go to a real church where a real minister inspires me.

It is clear that once all the delegates are in, Obama and Clinton will be able to claim a virtual tie.

Obama could have plucked TN from Sen. Clinton's grip had it not been for that no- good tornado. That son of a bitch went straight for the heavily populated African American areas such as Memphis and Jackson.

As a result, about 4 county polling stations were closed early. I voted and proud to have done so. It is clear where the momentum is and we are going to bring it.

GO OBAMA!

My condolensces to all that may have lost a loved one. It is always sad when that happens. I don't fear nything, sometimes I am afraid of dying young, but one thing I know I am afraid of are tornadoes. I don't like em, can't stand em,and just wish they go away and never come back.

Let me ask enybody ,

when those states in which Obama won

democrats won in general elektion?

That Obama is such a con artist. He is on stage right now behind a podium with flags behind him like he is at the WH. With the reporters seated in front of him like he is President and this is the WH briefing room. This is the second time he has done this. CNN, FOX and MSNBC are all covering it live. He makes me sick. If Hillary was doing this the media would rip her apart.

Wake up America before you vote for another Bush!

OBAMA LOST LAST NIGHT. SHE GOT MORE VOTES AND DELEGATES.

PER AP:

Democrats(2,025 needed to win nomination)
Candidates number of delegates
Hillary Clinton 845
John Edwards 26
Mike Gravel 0
Barack Obama 765
Total 1636

Senator Clinton explains her ideas where she wants to take the country at every single campaign stop. I have seen her speak 4 times. And numerous times on tv. Every time she gives specific details. She was on the other night on the hallmark channel. Hillary had people in groups all across the country meeting up. And they got to answer her questions like: education, illegal immigration, health care, jobs and the environment. And she gave long specific answers to all the questions people asked. And Hillary has great ideas. Why don't you listen to her speak next time.

The big difference between the two is that should Clinton go on to win the nomination and then the general election we will have nothing more than 4 to 8 years of constant bickering between those in Congress and the White House. Too many people seem to have short memories. The only time her husband got anything done was AFTER the republicans were swept into power for the first time in some 30 years. This moved him further to the right and ended in his signing of such bills as the Welfare Reform Act and NAFTA. Hillary winning would also help save the far right wing from the edge of collapse where they currently find themselves along with right wing talk radio. There are many new stories of her husbands dealings in the last few years that will come to be big issues to defend along with the all too well know issues of the past. Bottom line is that Hillary has far too much baggage that comes along with her as either the party nominee or as President. She would do much better to stay in the Senate and become Majority Leader where she would still have major political power.

With Obama we would have a real change, how can anyone argue otherwise, just look at him next to any of the other candidates and listen to him speak. Besides the obvious, he is younger, smarter, not tainted by years of being in Washington and is willing to listen to ideas from everyone not just those of his own party. He is truly the change candidate and a breath of fresh air. A person who could end the last 16 years of governing by personal and political destruction. No he is not perfect, but he is the right choice at the right time.

Hillarys plan is the Congressional Health plan. You know the one the rich people get. Where you have a choice of several hundred doctors. We know how much the congress suffers from lack of choices. Stop lying about Hillarys plan. Why don't you go to her web site and read it.

Woops.

Didn't work out for you.

Can we PLEASE stop putting the cart before the horse?

The Dem primary is nowhere near over. I still hope that in the end wiser voters will prevail and Sen. Obama will therefore prevail. I simply hope and pray that the remaining states yet to vote in the Dem primary, the DNC, and super delegates come to discern and take seriously that IMO if HRC is elected as the Dem candidate that the Democrats will most likely face a humiliating Presidential defeat (again) at the hands of John McCain in Nov. 08.
Think about a McCain versus Clinton race. We would have 30+ years of experience versus “35 years of experience” running against each other-status quo versus status quo, and one Iraq/Iran war hawk versus another Iraq/Iran war hawk (remember HRC’s true voting record). Head to head HRC IMO doesn’t have a chance against McCain’s popularity, and the Repubs are likely salivating at the thought of running against her. The Repubs fear a McCain versus Obama race, as that pits the status quo versus real change and new, fresh ideas. If HRC gets the Dem nod, I am confident that the Repubs will find sudden and miraculous healing for their current party divisions and multiple personalities and find overall party unity. Against Obama-it’s a different ball game.
The Dems in the country are IMO deluded if they don’t discern that if HRC is the Dem Presidential candidate that the Repubs will pull out all of the (currently withheld for political timing) stops and past Clintonian rhetoric and criticism that led to a political stalemate in the late 90’s, and was instrumental in the GWB presidency in 2000.
The remaining Dem primary voters, the DNC, and the super delegates should think seriously about the rocky and tortuous political course created if putting HRC in as the Dem candidate against McCain. Against HRC, IMO Sen. McCain will prevail in the end, and many of us raising the red flags now will simply have to remind the others that we told you so, in the same way that Molly Ivins raised the red flags pre-2000 election.
