I do not beleive the real question has been asked. Is America ready for a female or black president?

Clonton=McCain
Only Obama shaws the hope of change

 
Comment by Sharon

Hillary Clinton running on experience?

I have yet to find one person that can tell me anything the she has actually accomplished.

She says she has all the solutions - that seems pretty presumptuous. Since she is a senator why hasn’t she already fixed everything thats wrong in Washington?

Since she is part of the Washington establishment, she is part of the problem, not the answer.

I am disappointed that with 300 million people in the US (and we have some very brilliant people ), this group of 2 or 3 people is the best we could come up with to choose from to be the next president? All of them are pathetic.

I am going to vote for the write in candidate “None of the above”

 
Comment by Nan

I just voted here in Texas. I voted for Mitt Romney. Not because I am stupid. I know he is no longer in the race but his name was still on our ballot and I can’t bring myself to vote for John McCain or Mike Huckabee. I had considered a protest vote for Ron Paul but when I saw Romney’s name still on the ballot, I exercised some wishful thinking. The wrong candidate dropped out.

If I could say one thing to Chelsey Clinton it would be

Comment by paul greco

never in all of my years have i seen two such pityfull options that the democratic party has thrown up for democrats to choose from. are they looking for another peanut farner to turn the country upside down again. we have a woman who says she is a leader, the only thing she has ever led with is her mouth, next we have a man who proclaims to be the man of change, but all he really is, is a man with a gift of gab that would make a carpet bagger enviouse. just look at his record, or should i say what record. it is bad enough we have an inept congress with the likes of pelossi and ried must we now have an inept white house

 
Comment by C.R. Dougan

If I lived in Vermont or Rhode Island,I would feel really left out….all you hear about are Texas and Ohio.How much time did the canidates spend in Vermont,or Rhode Island?

 
Comment by Tina Teale

I’d like to see a running count of how many delegates are still open/available/outstanding.

 
Comment by Kelly Green

I am here in Cincinnati Ohio on this gloomy day, it is pooring down rain. I hope people get out and vote today because we need a huge turn out. I have seen alot of people with the I Voted Today stickers and I have heard alot of Republicans say they voted for Hillary. I hope that by them doing that that it does not back fire. I cannot stand Hillary Clinton and I cannot bring myself to vote for her, I am leaning towards Barack because I can at least stand to look at him. What are your thoughts?

Comment by Jimmy D.

I am a Christian. I am pro-life. I am pro-family. I have a job. I am a conservative. I voted for Hillary Clinton today. It is my hope that the democratic primary will continue. Obama and Hillary can spend more money on their campaigns.

Next time Huckabee.

Comment by lisa whitman

I have noticed that Hillary has never addressed any questions directed at her during the debates about her campaign contributions from the drug and insurance companies…. and it has not been covered much in the news. Does anyone else question this?

 
Comment by Dr. John Ivy

The Clinton campaigns have always been most curious. For example:

“Oct. 2004: “One of Clinton’s laws of politics is, if one candidate is trying to scare you, and the other one is trying to make you think, if one candidate’s appealing to your fears, and the other one’s appealing to your hopes. You better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.”

At this point, reference Sen. Hillary Clinton’s new campaign ad: ‘It’s 3 a.m. and Your Children are Safe and Asleep.

NOW, it would seem that the wheel has turned and the same “law of politics”, espoused in ‘04 is being called once again in play, but obviously on the other foot. For now it is the Clinton campaign that would “inject” fear into the scenario and thereby causing concern for “sleeping children at 3 a.m.” which is the exact opposite of what was previously espoused and also the opposite side of the coin of what Obama espouses which is “hope”.

And it has been already reported that Hillary is “searching” for the right “face” which will cause people to vote for her, and THIS practice is totally dependent on where she is and whom she is addressing.

A simple question: How can Hillary project a consistent message of “Hope” equally to all audiences when she considers it requisite to put on a “different face” for each particular audience in an effort to gain their support???

 
Comment by Bob Scott

This political season is already far too long. McCain is locked up and looking very good for the general election.
That said the democrats are putting out 2 candidates that have different faults. Hillary has the “Bill baggage”, and Obama will be slaughtered when he goes up against the Republican Party, when they call him on the issues.
As a side note, I wouldn’t bury Hillary yet, as most of the press is elluding to. Remember she is part of Clinton machine.

 
Comment by Bill

Hillary has thrown all of the nasty that she is into this Primary race. Senator Obama to his credit has been taking the high road.

When Obama was double digits behind Hillary he didnt stoop into the gutter and sling sewage at Hillary. I voted for Bill Clinton twice. He and Hillary have shown that they are beneath nothing, they will slither to any depth to have a shot at winning.

I still believe Obama will win the nomination, but Hillary has forged a permanent scar on the Democratic party. If Hillary wins I will vote for Mc cain and I will help his campaign. If the American people are that stupid as to support Hillary the gutter dweller, then they deserve another four years of someone like Bush.

 
Comment by Mark

I crossing party lines in Dayton Ohio and voting for Sen Obama because he can deliver change

 
Comment by Pete T

What I want to know is why is it that none of the polls every have options such as “I wish we had better candidates” or “Who Cares” or “It’s a Non-Issue”? I think the politicial machine, or the media, would like the number of responses those items would receive.

 
Comment by April

I am a 34 year old female republican appauled at the standards Hillary is held up to verses her male counterparts. I find it extremely disturbing that the media hasn’t until the last few days held Obama’s feet to the fire in regards to some serious allegations. We as Americans are not to dare voice racial concerns, while gender ones are a constant. The media should be ashamed of itself and get to the REAL issues instead of all the pettyness such as Hillary’s mood swings. I have never heard that phrase used in politics until a woman began to run for office. I am extremely dissapointed and may change my vote just for that reason.
Go Hillary!

 
Comment by Brian

HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY!! I’m very excited to be part of history and elect the a new President that can change the world!!

 
Comment by Rob

Martha,

With all of the hype surounding who John McCain may take on as a running mate - how come the name Joe Liberman never comes up? It seems like a great combination.

 
Comment by Alfonso Cotto Colon

I believe Hillary Clinton democratic campaign recently are using old tactic in a desparate move to win the Texas and Ohio primaries. This type of movement is oftenly use by veteran politician and government experience personnel for internal and external of confusion and misleading information to achieve plan objetives.

 
Comment by Jeremy

I have noticed media bias promoting Barak Obama. The funny thing is that most of the talk about Barak Obama on the Net is all bad. This is the 21st century and public oppinion is formed through communication and millions communicate online. Barak can spend all of the money he wants on advertisement but the facts are the facts. The media is second rate next to the dialogue of millions chatting and blogging on the web. In all actuallity it is the peoples communication on the web that drives the media not the other way around. Today we have seen that the influence of the mass media is not as great as the power of people to express their views in an open forum via the internet. Good luck Hillary most of us are counting on you for Honest Change. Not Baraks Lie About Change tactics.

 
Comment by Jaie T.

I am a 27 year old Texas voter (and Obama supporter). I have found that in some polling places, the persons in charge are giving out false information. Polling place officials are telling voters that they do not need to come back to vote twice, that their vote has already been counted. If I were not an informed voter, I may have believed this but I am aware that only 75% of the delegates are awarded based on the primary vote. Because I have urged many of my friends to vote (many of whom never have voted) they called me for answers. I explained it to them (as best I could) but they were a bit discouraged in the voting process because of the misinformation.

 
Comment by Eugenia

Hopefully this day will settle the impending Democratic polarizing that Hillary and Bill, who are hell-bent on getting back into the White House at any (all) cost, are inflicting upon the party. I was a two-time Clinton supporter when Bill was in the White House. I have, however, lost respect for him. Day by day, respect has dwindled, as I watch Hillary blindly ignore the wishes of the people for her own ill-fated gain.

She should take note from George Bush, if you don’t do it right, then it will surely come back to bite you in the butt, Hillary! For the sake of the people and your own sake, stop while you have a sliver of dignity left Hillary. Your campaign reeks of desperation!!! You have done down-dog, dirty!!!!!!! In this world there is a law of reciprocity, you will reap what you sow!!! If you think you have been under attack in the past, continue on the path that you are on and you ain’t seen nothing yet! There is an old adage, God doesn’t like ugly! What you have done is ugly, Hillary. All the ugliness and dirt that was initiated in the campaign, Hillary did it. Shame on you, Hillary!!!

 
Comment by Alienated EX Fox viewer

The incorrect delegate count Fox News has been persistently misrepresenting for McCain is artificially INFLATED. McCain does NOT have your alleged, incorrect 1014 PLEDGED delegates as Fox misleads viewers/voters to think - in your overt attempt to dissuade, discourage and suppress voters who do NOT support McCain…

Many former Fox viewers have been so outraged, alientated by Fox disgraceful bias agenda exhibited from the get- go, we have STOPPED watching Fox, switched to CNN, which surprisingly has had more fair, balanced coverage far less biased than Fox of all the candidate’s - not just the candidate’s FOX ANNOINTED - as arrogantly as McCain’s contempuous disregard of voters this past weekend, too busy to waste his valuable time with “main street people” & his MORE IMPORTANT priority of entertaining his cadre of ole boy, well heeled, wealthy DC country club elitists to pick his VP running mate -
AS IF he were the nominee (he isn’t) - and pander to the media he can’t resist cozzying up to every chance he gets. THOSE are McCain’s priorities - message received LOUD & CLEAR,
voters don’t matter, he is not only clueless, out of touch and utterly wrapped up in the ivory tower the GOP hermetically seals iself in, he doesn’t give a damned.

The Republican party is going the way of the dinosaur, sooner rather than later. They did not listen over a year ago and still are DEAF to what Mike Huckabee has been telling them.
But then, Fox decided Huckabee was not viable, therefore to be trivialized and marginalized.

The disproportionate saturation of everything democratic incessantly bombarding viewers ad nauseum is bad enough…but for McCain to pass up what little coverage the media has relegated the republicans to by refusing to participate in a debate - instead choosing to spend the time at his vacation home with his big wig party buddies - underscores his contempuous superiority complex and bad judgment.

Fred Barnes dismissive disregard of main street is indicative of the mind set that has alientated so many from the GOP & likes of Barnes…the “base” WON’T rally round McCain…Independents certainly do not find McCain tolerable - never mind appealing, or at all inspiring. The gritted teeth, disengenuous wink followed by “my friends…” tactic of evading any questions he considers a waste of his important time, he knows better than anyone else, brags about his stubborness that is far worse than democrats deriding Bush for over eight years…he’d make a good Secretary of Defense, but not President.

Thanks Fox for the destruction and damage you have wrought throughout this endless dysfunctional process. Since You & the GOP have decided who you are trying to ram down voters throats as the nominee, why waste OUR taxpayer dollars bothering to hold the remaining 9 primaries??? IF McCain is so proud of the debacle of McCain Feingold and genuinely wants to cut spending - he should start by eliminating the millions primaries cost & just hold his coronation they way Russia just did.

 
Comment by Mary Wallace

Hopping to follow the US Primary results for Ohio & Texas on your web site, it is almost 9. 30 AM here in New Zealand & am trying to stay updated for these results while I am at work. I am unable to follow Fox News TV coverage while working so have logged into Fox Web, by the way I think your news cast is fantastic. I watch it every night & first thing in the morning here in NZ, please keep up the interesting & informative news coverage “I love it”.

 
Comment by Paul Brooks

The safety of Obama was discussed briefly and I would like to add that my main concern is for his safety also. However I feel that he might be harmed because he is black, but not because of hatred for blacks. I feel that it would be a terrorist act in order to attempt to set blacks against whites in this nation. I am sure that he has considered this and is taking proper steps to protect him and his family. I can only pray that he does.

 
Comment by Paul

Everyone knows the real power lies within congress. The president can not do much of anything in the way of policies or “change” without the approval of congress. With that said, how do these candidates expect me to believe that they can make changes in government as president, when they all have had ample opportunity to do so as senators and didn’t.

 
Comment by lisa

Wow - Hillary darkened Obama’s skin for an ad. Hmmm…wonder what the motivation of that was? To make him look “scary”? - her latest tactic. Maybe he ought to “photoshop” his next ad of her and put her in a …..skirt!

 
Comment by Becky Simpson

It is so important to be able to express your thoughts and opinions to people, in this day and age, of people thinking that they can’t make a difference.

I believe that most Americans feel this way. I am so very passionate about my political candidates and the issues, but I also feel that in the end, I wonder if it really makes any difference HOW I feel. That is why we need more of the media and not just Fox News, to help the people get their feelings out and known.

Thank you Fox News, for always caring about( WE THE PEOPLE)’s views. I think God basically “directs” your network. Becky Simpson, Davey, Nebraska.

Comment by Bill

This is fascinating stuff indeed, but it puzzles me that the democratic party does not see the bloodletting at the end of the trail (and all alongside it) if Obama does not score a knockout. I just also heard some errant nonsense suggesting Republicans are voting for Obama when, in fact, I know that many of my Republican friends here in Texas are voting for Clinton in order to keep her in the race since she is universally perceived as far more vulnerable in a national race.

 
Comment by Terry Weller

It would appear that Hilary’s infamous temper and really foul mouth are not being mentioned because she is a WOMAN. A Libby Quaid penned an entire column to Sen. McCain’s temper and potty mouth. I guess women just arn’t ready for prime time. At least not Liberal Dems.

Comment by NEW MEXICAN!

Martha and the Fox News Family.

Thanks for keeping Mike Huckabee in your coverage. He still can win despite what some are saying with incorrect delegate counts.

I appreciate Mike’s traditional family values and unwavering principles. This is what we need in the white house and translates into courage.

He has my vote and all of my family and friends as well. Thank goodness we have a true conservative speaking out for the AVERAGE AMERICAN!

GO MIKE GO!!!! Today will be a big day for the Huckster!!!

 
Comment by Marie

Across the state of Texas, Republicans are voting for Clinton today. Not because they want to “vote for” Clinton, but because they want to “vote against” Obama. Between Clinton and Obama, Clinton is the lesser of two evils, and a vote for McCain or Huckabee is practically wasted at this point.

Comment by Rayburn Taylor

I hope Hillary wins these contests in a big enough way to continue her campaign. I think she is more qualified than Obama and I want the two most qualified people running. I am not right wing. I would consider myself to be a little right of center. A moderate leaning a little to the right. If the democratic party had any room for moderates or conservatives I would be a democrat. The democratic party has forced me to vote Republican because there is no room in the Democratic party for me. I will vote McCain in the general unless something happens. I might be able to hold my nose and vote for Hillary but I doubt it. One thing for sure, I cannot ever see where I could vote for someone as far left as Obama.

 
Comment by John Sawall

As a registered Republican I am amazed at the back and forth between the Clinton and
Obama camps. Quite frankly Hillary probaly waited to long to hit her stride and yet Obama
has in my mind seemed to stumble in the past week or so. My mom in Ohio won’t tell us
who she is voting for but my bet is Hillary. I think John McCain just gets to sit back and
watch and all of this mud flying will help him not only develop a campaign strategy but make
him look above the fray. Huckabee is probaly McCain’s best asset still in the race but running
a campaign with class and with ideas not personal attacks.

Please keep Ann coulter off Fox News, she is not doing the Republican Party any Favors.

 
Comment by HELEN MCCOMAS

When Bill Clinton took office in the nineties wasn’t it Hilary who was going to change our health insurance and make it better for the whole country. Mine is worse now then than if this is the how she changes things maybe we need to change out vote Mr Obama according to her has nko experience do we need the kind of experience that after sixteen years of talk hasn’t changed anything other than her bank account.

 
Comment by Larry Brown

I just watched Anne Coulter on Fox. Would someone please tell her to return Toto and the Red Slippers to Dorothy. Talk about the Wicked Witch of the right!! And I am a staunch Republican.

Ever since her so called conservative candidate(Romney a conservative, give me a break) didn’t make it and she has discovered that America really does not care what she thinks, she has been bitter and pouting.

Please Fox, spare us her tirades, it is a huge waste of time and energy. The right doesn’t want her and when she said she would endorse Hillary, the left refused her support as well.

Enjoying the election coverage when it doesn’t venture to Oz.

Comment by janet

Hi. This is the first time I’ve ever been to this website. It confirms what I thought - half the country is uninformed and easily swayed by sound bytes and byte-heads. You have a right to your opinion; you don’t have the right to pass off fiction/opinions as fact. Think. Imagine you’re wrong - because you are. See ya!

 
Comment by Karen

What I don’t understand is this… Why the insinuation of Hillary’s people darkening a photo, which you don’t know for sure if they did or not (so basically you are only assuming..which makes you an ass!) Why is there nothing about Obama’s problems with Rezco, which by the way just happens to coincide with today’s voting!! Now that is true and we are not hearing anything about it. I wonder why?? Oh, yeah. I forgot that the media loves to Clinton bash!! Then they talk about the Clinton machine, when in all actuality it’s the media machine for Obama!!

 
Comment by SweetPea

How’s the turn out today? Texas? Ohio? Rhode Island? Vermont?

I voted for Hillary Clinton. I am a diehard Republican but find the battle between Barrack and Hillary to be quite entertaining. I hope she is in it to win it so we Republicans can sit back and enjoy the blood bath.

Comment by Carole

I voted today, mainly for the local issues and school levy.
I am in Columbus Ohio, and could have voted in either party primary.
I voted for Mike Huckabee, because he comes closest to my
beliefs. I had thought about voting for Obama, because
I detest Hillary and thought she should be stopped whatever it took.
But I had to vote they way I felt. Hopefully McCain will pick a good
VP. J.C. Watts of Oklahoma was mentioned today as well as Colin Powell.

 
Comment by David

Unfortunately, USA is still a close-minded country. I would LOVE to see a Female or Afro-American as President…What we need is a Native American…the REAL AMERICAN …for president…. But as long as there are red-neck trash who still beleive in “dubya”….(wow that is so red-neck uneducated hick sounding!), the USA will never change….. and that is SAD.

 
Comment by peter Das

I have been watching very carefully US Primary election every day. according to mingh of the people. 60/70% do not want American people to elect Republic party candidate.
r. McCain is worst then Bush. raq war will not solve in adition other area he cannot solve.
Only solution Hillary can defeit McCain. as for Obama. he is very fresh, having no personality can not be for SA President. he has to deal very International problem. you need some one who has a big personality. Hillary can do. in case Obama get nomination, epublic will win, hope o merican voters want that to win another ushI hasve my firm opinion emocratic arty should nominee illary linton..

 
Comment by Dave Fischer

I am looking forward to the general election where a”positive tone” rules and the negative ads are based solely on record and not against the person. Our political system for too long has been degenerating into a backyard brawl that really does not need to happen!

Let’s have a civil election and elect the best person possible!

 
Comment by Howard

What has Hillary accomplished? I keep hearing the question what has Obama accomplished so what has she ever done? Whoever that woman was who just knows the republicans cant win is sadly mis informed and is out of touch with what is really going on in this country, but that is common for the media so what else is new?

 
Comment by Texas Kid

I agree with Eugenia:
We do not need H.R.C or B.C in the white house.
They both lie and they both are dishonest and in this for them self. Not for the good of America but for the good the Clinton’s.

 
Comment by ron

I still want those folks that think Obama is going(can) to deliver change to tell me where the proof is??? He has as much experience as Hillary (NONE) and is expecting folks to trust him.. Where is he going to find the money to GIVE those folks that are not out there working the same level of health care is I have and a college education?. I work two jobs (one of them defending the country) and I don’t see those folks working 65 hour weeks to keep food on the table. Why are THEY giving MY taxes (in the form of a rebate) to those that never paid any and calling it a rebate? And Obama is already perpetrating further wealth transfer in his pandering to those less fortunate. How can people believe what these candidates are spewing.. Be careful, Be VERY careful…

 
Comment by Bear

What hope does Obama bring? Higher taxes? Global insecurity? Likely. Even more privelages for minorities? Will his principles for Black advancement be made in to public policy? At least we’ll hear good speaches to deceive us. What has he done in his political career? What does he even stand for? Glad to see he finally got Hillary’s er his platform ready. Seriously, did he just copy her platforms with a tweak here or there?

 
Comment by Craig Altschul

It would be terrific if Joe Lieberman were chosen as McCain’s VP. That would do two things. It would do wonders for bi-partisan results and it would significantly frost Hannity and his friends.

 
Comment by casey

Why don’t you go back to school and learn how to to spell correctly before you start criticizing Barack Obama. You sound PATHETIC.

 
Comment by Richard Romei

I do not believe the US Taxpayer should pay the salary for work not done. I do not believe Hillary, John or Barack are doing their job as Senators. Therefore, when I voted in Ohio today I did not vote for one of those slackers.

 
Comment by Barbd

Blah Blah “Hope” Blah Blah “Change”. Still waiting for what the Hope and Change are. Hillary - Oh my God do not get me started. All I can say for those that hate Bush - at least we have had no attacks the past 7 years. McCain will make sure we stay safe. Another terror attack would put this country in a tailspin we probably never will get out of. Also Obama and Hillary will raise taxes so high to pay for all their social programs. So you think the economy is bad now - just wait for the democrats.

 
Comment by slush

my opinion - if hillary or obama win - it won’t be long before either gets assassinated just for the reason that she’s a woman and he’s black - our society is pitiful in that respect

 
Comment by Cody

I am amazed by the lack of experience in the democratic candidates…we are faced with the choice between two junior senators. My question for Obama is I hear the word change come out of your mouth a lot, but never any specifics. I hear you say “Change, change, change, change…” and people scream but change from what to what, change can be for the better of for the worse. Which change are you? Senator Clinton, I don’t even know where to begin…I fear allowing this couple back into the White House for any length of times. That leaves me with the republican candidate, John McCain. I actually like and respect John McCain…but not as president. When this whole process began, I was excited because I felt like we had some real viable candidates. But as the months drag on, every person I have favored and supported has dropped out of the race. And I am back in the same boat I feel I have been in for the past 2 elections…I am voting for the lesser of two evils.

Comment by Leah

The way I see it is to vote for the lesser of three evils. This may (is) be the most important election in US History. Being a registered Gay Republican, I have decided to support Hillary. There should be no doubt that she has the experience needed. Honestly, what do we really know about Barack Hussein Obama? Hillary is a great speaker, and is very articulate.
Barack stutters during debates and Mccain takes too long to get his words out.
And everyone should keep in mind that all polticians lie. They all say whatever it takes to get elected!

Ann Coulter is so good looking that I think we must keep her in the republican party even if she does make alot of trouble for us. As for Hillary an Barrack, Who Cares? We always here about change,but it never comes to pass for the better.Look at NAFDA. It doesnt take a genius to figure out that we have made a bad deal but as usual our elected officials are pointing fingers at election time. Why dont they address some of these issues when their not on the campaign trail. Its always what they want to do now, when it should be what they already did.

 
Comment by Cody

blah blah blah blah, This whole election process needs some reforming!

 
Comment by Heidi

Hillary says it took a Clinton to clean up the White House after the first Bush and it will take a SECOND Clinton to clean up after the second Bush.
Is that because she didn’t get a chance to clean out everything (china, furniture etc) that she didn’t steal the first time?

 
Comment by Dave Raynor

I find it interesting that Hillary is claming to be ready on day one and yet she had no real exit strategy from the first Super Tues.

 
Comment by Joe

We should not vote for someone who supported war..

Iraq war was based on lies to the public, telling us that they had mass destruction weapons…..

Lies lies and more lies, and when someone votes supporting the lies, that tells me, that she thinks with the stomach and should not run this country.

just check all the money that we could have used on creating jobs or health care..

GO OBAMA

 
Comment by SweetPea

This comment is for the bigoted David: I still believe in President Bush (Dubya to you) and I am not by anyone’s measure a ‘red-neck.’ I pray that we will get someone next who has his judgment and courage and wisdom. I don’t agree with him on every thing, but I am very grateful that we’ve had him instead of Al Gore or John Kerry. God certainly blessed us with that.

I do the FOX trot everyday. Thank you!

 
Comment by Eunice

To the Hillbillary supporters/

Hillary is putting her own foot in her mouth, nothing but lies, and yet you all fall into her smoke.. Please wake up. She has 35 years experience hadn’t done nothing. She does not know anything about military. Her experience is the same as Obama. No candidate who’s running for president ever have an exprience before running.
You all need to understand. when you apply for a job. You don’t know the system. Obama taught the Constitution in 10years at the Univeristy of Chicago. Not one time Clinton mention the constitution. How is she going to bring the country back without beleiving and obeying the constitution as Obama said.

Oct. 2004: “One of Clinton’s laws of politics is, if one candidate is trying to scare you, and the other one is trying to make you think, if one candidate’s appealing to your fears, and the other one’s appealing to your hopes. You better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.”

At this point, reference Sen. Hillary Clinton’s new campaign ad: ‘It’s 3 a.m. and Your Children are Safe and Asleep.

you are going to be sorry for your choice if Clinton will be the nominee. I have enough of their lies. Will Monica Lewinsky be the Secretary of State??????

I am certainly no supporter of Hillary Clinton. But to call her “inexperienced” is just inaccurate. Her civil service, in one form or another, stretches back four decades. She was an active First Lady, and has demonstrated no dearth of experience or leadership ability as a US Senator. Obama is less experienced, but has succeeded at his endeavors so well that he has accomplished a lot for a relatively young man; a Senator to a President is a logical progression, we just rarely see it in someone so young who didn’t get a jump start by coming from a prominent and wealthy family. I think it’s best to just focus on the issues.

Obama & Hillary frighten me with their inexperience. Hillary, the media-hailed Democractic frontrunner in the beginning of the primary race, can’t even muster a muscular, sophisticated campaign & has floundered so many times so publicly, it makes one seasick to think of it. Obama’s glaring lack of experience on nearly anything substantive in our capitalist society that our country is based upon (as trust me, non-profits are an entirely different breed of “business” from capitalism) is frightening. And he’s one of the possible donkey party’s candidates?

What kind of future are we headed for when our only viable candidates (including McCain) for the world’s most powerful country are senators who have never run a company, organization, or executive government post (e.g., governor)?

Do you think the DNC will budge in its decision to not seat delegates from Mighigan and Florida?

Can you please find a better picture of Hillary to use on air? She looks older than even John McCain (twelve years her senior)! The one you have of her is washed out and looks like a picture of her after just waking up and without any makeup.

my top 10 things for this country…
first, when you are a senator or hold public office you must resign that office when running for President, let’s face it you should not get paid for running around the country when you are not doing your job..
second, cut all congress’ salaries in half and let them only come to washington once ever four years….less government involvement the better. i do not need these people changing laws every blooming time they get together… consistency that is what will help this country. the markets can not figure out what is going on and when someone speaks in washington the markets go crazy.
third, same health plan for the American people as for congress
fourth, if you are not a citizen, a legal citizen you get nothing in this country!
fifth, shut down half the bases around the world, bring them home and set up military bases on our boders, it will boost our economy and stop helping other countries support themselves. we needed bases around the world decades ago simply for practical purposes of time, yet now things are different.
sixth, open up trade with cuba, we have all of this blah, blah, blah they are communist junk and their lack of human rights but here we are friends, with pakistan, palestine, china and russia… please we so do not care about human rights.
seventh, states rights rule - less federal involvemnet in our lives the better
eighth, border security should be a no brainer
ninth, stop… i repeat stop sending billions to other countries- our money should stay here
tenth, we have to become a power house in the global economy… one of the things that made this country great was that we led the way in industry and in innovation…now we lead the world in buying outside goods and outsourcing our jobs- not smart!

America needs a mother like Hillary to clean up the mess baby boy Bush left in the White House.

 
Comment by Jim White

I would like to ask all of the Presidential candidates this question. If you were the President, what would you have done after the terrorist attack on America in 2001?

 
Comment by Jack R.

Lots of our Republican friends are picking up a Democrat ballot today. Not because they don’t like John McCain. Because they despise Hillary [we call her the “Witch”]. Funny though, they’re split on how to hurt Hillary the most. Vote for her so her painful fall is prolonged, or vote for Obama to help get the credit for putting the pin in her twisted balloon.

Hi Martha,
I watch the news networks (mostly Fox) at home and at work. What do these Candidates stand for on the issues. I can’t tell from the sound bites. People rely on the media for this information and we just aren’t getting it with sound bites!

 
Comment by Michele Ference

If some catastrophe befell John McCain before the election and he could not run as the Republican candidate, would the primary candidate with the second highest number of votes or delegates then run?

 
Comment by Terri

Can someone please tell me what Obama and how Obama plans to change?? He has never really explained himself. All I hear is change,change,change well please tell how you are going to do this and what you are going to change it to?? I think you are going to change it Obama just not for the best!!

 
Comment by Marion

OBama is always saying He didn’t vote for the Iraq War. Why is it noone ever calls him on this. If I am correct He didn’t vote simply because he wasn’t elected to the Senate when the Vote was taken, but you never hear anyone saying anything about this, Had he been able to vote isn’t it possible he would have voted for it just as many Democrats did? He just lucked up and didn’t have to.

As a 28 year old woman I have never been more excited about politics. Today is the day that I am truely hopeful that this is the day where I will never have to hear anything about a President Bush - or Clinton ever again. Its time for a change and a Fresh Start!!

I hope you look into this and report this because Texas people and all Americans should now what’s going on.

On the blog of Hillary Clinton, we are talking about the calls we are making and we’ve found out some ugly stuff. One blogger says;
“Alexx. She said some people were outside with a sign in sheet for the caucus… and when she proceeded to put clinton down, they pulled it away”
another says
“What the hell? Obama giving out caucus forms before they’re allowed to be handed out and collecting them so that people don’t have to go to caucus? I cry foul! His name should be removed from Texas’ caucus just for that.”

This is just simply playing foul. Please have the decency to report this.

Thank you.

I just want to add that the now President was voted in office the first time around and stole the second election. He did not nominate himself first time around… Many of you voted for him… And oh! what a predicament we have been in for the last eight years.
