LOL no offense taken, Shawn. I know it is all just in humor and you are a dude who has a great sense of humor. I got a chuckel out of it

Hahaha good, I'm glad

How on earth did Barck O'bama campaign get my e-mail address? I went to their site to sign up to vote and it sent me to another(Rockthevote) site which asked for e-mail but I never gave it to obama's site.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was wondering this. I guess they have psychics working in their camp.

I agree with Barack focusing more on specifics instead of broad generalizations during his stump speeches. Its clear that he wants change and that he wants to make a difference, however he needs to lay out exactly how he wants to do it to make it clear to all voters.

Hillary really needs to stop harping on her past experiences. Everyone knows the shady past of the Clintons, and its a turn off. If she were smart, she'd focus on the future and the future only.

The shady crap is made up stuff from the right wing conspirators/neo-cons.

Congratulations to Barack Obama for his wins this weekend. I am so glad that he's doing well.

I don't understand something though. There are a few in the press (CNN, AP, etc.) that seem to have different delegate totals. From what I understood, Obama had more delegates than Hilary, yet they keep reporting he is behind. It is only NOW that they seem to be giving him a lead. WTF?

CNN and the AP are reporting the correct info, other sources, such as Barack's campaign were not. Barack Obama just now came into the lead with this past week's election.

I think hillary needs edwards endorsement moreso than obama, he has the momentum and he keeps getting these huge endorsements from senators, govenors and etc.

John Edwards, if he endorses anyone, would likely endorse Hillary.

I think hillary better think long and hard about ditching the debate on MSNBC because she's losing momentum fast. I also find it funny that shes getting all this free press on CNN aka Clinton News Network, yet its not helping her at all. Changing her campaign manager isn't gonna help either, I can pinpoint where her campaign went downhill: BILL CLINTON and her misconstrued analysis on how MLK needed LBJ for the civil rights movement. That rubbed alot of African americans the wrong way and they lost their vote. I have a more open mind and understood what she was saying and I didn't mind bill attacking obama because this is a race for the presidency. But when he started saying false statements about obama his stock went down with me, but it didn't go down with hillary because I won't blame her for her disaster husband.

EricaKane70, your posts about Hillary sure sound like the neo-con hate of Hillary. Sure you're really not a closet Republican, lol.

I still say he is a muslim. Umm...there are other things too. That I wont go into here. I would rather a Republican win the Presidency than Obama. I just wont go into why.

WTF?!?!??!? Barack Obama IS DEFINTELY NOT a Muslim. Saying he is sounds kinda racist imho. Not saying you are Ron, but I don't like the way you said it. I'd definitely want NO Republican as President. John McCain or Mike Huckabee would be just as dangerous as W is as President IMHO. Obama and Hillary both would make great Presidents. I hope that Hillary wins and Obama then ends up as the VP nominee. But I'll be glad to support Obama if he gets the nom instead.

WHAT AN INSULT. I really like hillary alot, its just her life is such a damn soap opera, you can't help but to talk about her whether its negative or positive.

I wonder if, on AMC, Erica and Samuel are going to be talking about any "vast right wing conspiracies"

Erica is going to start her fourth book entitled "It Takes a Village: How To Get Married Many Times"

Yep AMC is pulling for Hillary alright! I knew there was a reason I loved this show

I had seen your avatar a million times and I hadnt realized it was Hillary. So I guess you are a supporter of hers.

LOL Ron I am a volunteer for her so I work for the woman....I have not met her personally but I saw her speak in Oakland. She is amazing in person

To answer your question, yes I support her

Hey Jason!

I'm kind of depressed because I've been watching the news and it looks like my Hillary isn't doing so good. The Clinton campaign kind of blames the media because they say that the media concentrates too much on Obama instead of Hillary. Instead, it should be an equal type thing for both of them. Do you find this to be true? I think so because all that I see is Obama, Obama, Obama. It's not that I'm dissing on Obama, but I think Hillary should be covered more as well.

She's a great speaker and it's a shame that my family missed her last Sunday in my hometown. I heard that she cancelled Roanoke, Virginia and had Bill come in the next day to speak. Any particular reason why she cancelled Roanoke? From what my parents said, they said the place was packed over at Patrick Henry High School and a lot of disappointed people because she cancelled at the last minute.

I think the media is touting Obama as if he is the second coming and not shying away from attacking Hillary. They need to discuss more about how she has a truly positive vision for the nation to lift this country up and back in the right direction. I guess they have started attack ads against each other...I wish they did not go that route but it eventually happens in politics.

The good news is Hillary is winning by a lot in key states like Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as well as running neck and neck in Wisconsin. She is not out of this race. Let's also remember that there are more super delegates to cast their vote for someone so they could swing in her favor.

I am not sure why the event was cancelled...even though I work on the campaign, I am not privy to that kind of information. If you want to find out, the best option I can suggest is calling her main campaign headquarters in Virginia. The number is 703-469-2008

I agree that the media is all for Obama and doesn't attack him at all and is unfair to Hillary, I think because she is a woman and just because she IS Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bill Clinton's wife. I think it's far from over yet. Hillary is leading in the states that DevotedtoAMC mentioned and very well could win Wisconsin too. Obama has won several small states, while Hillary is winning the larger wons. I still am supporting Hillary and will vote for her in our May primary (one of the last states to vote

I have to agree with every one above that mentions that the media is biased towards obama, it seems like all obama gets is good press and hillary gets just negative press. But on the otherhand if hillary would just close her mouth sometimes instead saying stuff like caucus's states really don't count and not congratualating obama for his wins then networks like CNN wouldn't have anything to report. Obama on the other hand there is nothing negative to report about him he knows how to shut his mouth for the most part except when he's attacking hillary. It also doesn't help Hillary that they keep interviewing bill who pretty much just ruins the interview or they show it in a very negative light. So alot of the time the clintons are their own worst enemy. Like I said in a previous post the clintons lives are like a soap opera its something new everyday and usually its bad.

As an African American I really hope your reasons aren't racially motivated, Soapsuds.

Same here. How many times does the man have to declare his own religion? That knee jerk obsession with his upbringing and his middle name is at the core of Republican fear-based politics. The number of African-Americans with Arabic names is a pretty high one. But now they're all fundamentalist Muslims? That's pretty damn racist, and Ann Coulter is getting a kick out of perpetuating that mentality too. For anyone to say they'd rather have a war monger Republican in office than Obama, well, don't come crying to me when you get the economy and stunted society that comes with them.

If the media is slanting its coverage away from Clinton because she's a woman, I don't see how it's working. She still gets tons of votes and the delegate count is practically at an even split. Most pundits liken Obama's campaign to a movement they've never seen before, and since money is the only god we worship, the amount he raises in the time he raises it is fascinating to them. His strides in canvassing the electorates have yielded results even he probably didn't expect.
