I'm a registered Independent. Want to know what I think? There is something creepy about a Democrat (Billary) who uses Republican tactics to win votes. Hillary voted in the Senate to position herself for a presidential bid. It's SO obvious. That laeves her with ZERO credibility.

Obama will win the independent vote against McCain. End of story.

I don"t know if the media is giving candidates like Clinton & Huckabee a fair game. They are pushing Obama no matter what and assuming McCain is the sole republican running. Overall I do enjoy the WP editorials.
Also, check out the articles "Red States" and "Latino States" http://savagepolitics.com/?p=78 and "The Numbers Game" http://savagepolitics.com/?p=84 on www.savagepolitics.com. It offers a refreshing/brilliant analysis on voters, what the polls really mean, etc¦ I haven"t seen this type of analysis in a long time. It was about time someone unbiased analyzed the current presidential race!!!!!!!!!!

Sen.Clinton is exactly right,

Her campain is The MOVEMENT.

People understand ,what she wants for the country,

They want the same,

She explained,how she'll do it,

people agree with her on this too.

So there is the WILL of people,she represents,
and they gathering aroung her for their future.

THIS IS THE MOVEMENT.

And about Obama.

he sounds like shepherd,preaching to sheeps.

THEY DON"T KNOW,WHAT HE WILL DO,AS A PRESIDENT.

THEY DON'T KNOW ,HOW HE'LL DO IT.

BUT SHEEPS BELIEVE TO SHEPHERD,BECOUSE

SOMETHING IN HIS VOICE IS SO FAMILIAR,

they hear his voce and gather into herd,no metter,where he will bring them,With him it fills like home everywhere he goes.

THIS IS SOME MOVEMENT TOO

I believe Sen. Obama represents the face of the next Great American Generation.

Just as Roosevelt embodied the "Greatest Generation" of his lifetime; one that defeated both Nazism and Fascism, liberated Europe and built the most prosperous Middle Class the world has ever known, Obama now stands at a pivotal point in American and World history.

It is a point which finds America mired in a seemingly endless war in Iraq; a point where the Middle Class population is losing ground economically; a point where personal political aspirations trump the good of the Nation (on both sides of the aisle); a point where the generational "good will" of the world has turned to outright criticism of America; a point where the once "Almighty Dollar" is quickly exchanged for Euros and a point where this current generation is definitely not better off than the previous.

This generational shift in American and World history demands leadership based not on organizational experience, but on vision.

This moment in history demands not the promise of efficiently running a bureaucracy, but of refocusing its purpose.

This moment demands not the promise to change the political machinery of Washington D.C., but to return it to its rightful owners.

This moment demands not the polarization of races, cultures, religions and civilizations, but the good will unity across common ground.

This moment demands a generational change.

Poll THIS!

Wow. Brilliant work TIME. Next time call me, I'll save you some $$$.

Didn't Arianna suggest not long ago, that we should say NO to pollsters??????? Another hypocritical moment?

Well of course Obama will do better against McCain than Clinton! Is anyone (besides Clinton) really thinking otherwise? The whole point of Obama's campaign is to attract independents and moderate republicans (as well as democrats of course). And he has succeeded so far. If Democrats would consider electability more, Obama would be far ahead by now.

Let"s hope Democratic voters realize that giving the nomination to Hillary Clinton based on superdelegates (many of whom were appointed to positions by Bill Clinton) would not be good for the party.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday February 09, 2008 shows John McCain (R) leading Hillary Clinton (D) 48% to 42%. Barack Obama (D) leads McCain 45% to 42%.

New polls released today:
Survey of 719 Likely Democratic Primary Voters
February 6-7, 2008
Virginia Democratic Presidential
Barack Obama 55%
Hillary Clinton 37%

Survey of 925 Democratic Primary Voters
February 6, 2007
Maryland Democratic Primary
Barack Obama 57%
Hillary Clinton 31%

Hillary's campaign has been constantly copycating Barack's messages & slogans.

Most recent headline: "HILLARY CALLS HER CAMPAIGN A MOVEMENT"

What a joke!! You'd think with all the high priced political advisors on the Clinton campaign payroll - they could come up with an original thought!!

I'd call Hillary's campaign a "Bowel Movement"

In my opinion, the Clintons are politically filthy. Nothing is beneath them & they will say & do anything to win. Should they win, they will come into the White House with 20+ years of political favors to payback & lobbyist to please.

Why can't we make a clean break & fresh start?

I know why the Clintons are fighting to gain & retain power. I think Bill is terrified of being eclipsed by Barack - prior to Obama, many saw Bill as the most charismatic leader, capable of communicating & connecting with people in a way, not seen for a longtime. Compared to Obama, Bill looks quite ordinary.

Do we really want to have to look at, hear & deal with the Clintons again? What's wrong with us? Don't we feel worthy of going for something so much better? The Clintons are filthy!

Right, and I'm supposed to believe this MSM poll WHY?

Forget the pundit-desired intra-party battle: start the campaign for the Presidency against the presumptive Republican nominee McCain right now!
We've seen Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton debating and campaigning against each other for nearly a year. They both acknowledge their policies differences are slight, but they both have enormous differences with the Republican candidates. Why not take this golden opportunity to show the voters in the remaining primary states how each candidate will campaign for the Presidency itself against the Republicans. This is a new way, a new data point, for Barack and Hillary to display any differences they might have, campaign style, without having to go after each other.
It helps the party by promoting a sense of unity instead of playing into the media chorus for a schism. It improves the Democratic message by yielding two simultaneous and powerful voices against the Republican machine. And it puts the Republican presumptive nominee in a more difficult position by having to battle not one candidate, but two.
Many have been trying to convince the Democrats that not having a nominee by now puts us at a disadvantage, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Democrats are actually an enviable position. Add to this the fact that John McCain needs to spend the next several weeks to months moving to the right to shore up his base, thus making him an even easier target for the Democratic candidates, and Democrats can comfortably realize they should all be thrilled they have two potent candidates still actively on their side.
