Edwards & His Hair
May 14, 2008 8:49pm ET

Getting an endorsement from Edwards is about the same as getting one from Mr. Peanut. I see he's got that thousand dollar hairdo goin on, solid as a concrete block, slicked up and over the forehead like an awning. I don't like, Obama, Edwards or Clinton. Is this the best the Dems got????????????????

Hillary, clearly should be our next president. I don’t understand how people can be so mesmerize by Obama when Clinton clearly should be our next president. Obama may have magnetism but that will not make him a good president. As a person from other country I cannot believe what is happening with the American people and all the democrats that are indorsing him. Way can we have a woman president? I personally will not vote for Obama, my vote will go to McCain. I cannot believe that Edwards has endorse Obama, I think he will not win in the presidential election too much baggage, and no experience, something that all the people that are indorsing him have forgotten. I’m sorry for my English

It's the only way he will get to the White House. Then he can tell us all again about HIS two Americas.

It's not race that decides my vote. What Obama believes is my concern. I will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win the dem. primary's. I thought Edwards was going to let the people vote first. What did Obama offer Edwards?

Edwards is Gomer Pyle, Jimmy Carter and Eddie Haskel with a law degree. He'd probably kiss Obammer in the mouth on the Ellen Show to get the VP nomination . . .GOOD GRIEF!

If John Edwards considered the voice of the people as highest priority, he would not have announced his support for Obama at this time. However; if he wishes for some clout in a possible Obama nomination; then the timing is perfect. Unlike Richardson, who is already forgotten. I sense that Obama supporters and persuaded super delegates do not want to allow for the possiblity of Clinton getting the popular vote. If by their actions, they cut short the process of the remaining states viable votes; they will lose greatly in the general election.

John Edwards is a disgrace to this country as much as Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Democratic party have a nightmare on their hands with this dishonest, communistic candidate that they are endorsing with their superdelegate mess. Florida and Michigan are party of this country and the will of the people will be heard. Keep up the reporting to the country Fox News!!!

The only reason he is endorsing Obama because he thinks the same as all of those men that have been on the Hill for a lifetime, that he can't bring himself to believe that a woman can run the Country better than a man can. If Obama is selected as the Democratic Canidate I to will wotefor McCain.

Its pretty comical really, Everything Edward said in his Speech is exactly what Clinton is fighting for. The only person who wants Universal Health Care is Hillary Clinton,Obama's plan is not Universal. Edwards had many arguments with Obama over his plan,and I wonder why Edwards wife, had liked Clinton's Health care Better. Clinton is the Best Candidate for President, and hope Usa wakes up Soon. THe world is watching, and I'm a concerned Canadian

It seems to me that Edwards is endorsing Obama for the same reason that many have endorsed him - he promised them something. Maybe not the VP position - but something!

Please let this all backfire in Edwards and Obama face, I am afraid that when this is all done and over, it will be to late for them to take back there vote. I am hoping that someone bring out the dirty on Obama the real gitty dirty before it too late.. I cant stand the thought of that man running this country, it not racism because I am a black mother of 5 that cant stand to think of her children future in Obama hand.

Give me a BREAK!!!!! If Clinton was way ahead....he would endorse her. He left the door wide open...just in case Clinton does indeed PULL IT OFF. If Edwards was REALLY for Obama...he would have endorsed him a long long time ago!!! Edwards is only thinking of himself!!! Edwards should be thinking about his wife right now with all she has been though...and put his priorities in order.

Hillary won west virginia but she still needs to drop out and leave on a good note. she needs to help unite the party and support Obama. Edwards did the right thing, its time to have a democratic nominee.

May 14, 2008 10:15pm ET

I agree with everything Marisa above wrote. Hillary is the only one to save our country. Obama may be ready in another four years but he's not ready now. And it really pissed me off that Edwards pulled what he did tonight.

John Edwards couldn't stand not being aligned with the rest of the losers! Look at them! Kennedy, Kerry, McGovern, Richardson, all losers! I thought this race was about the Clintons..but you know what? I see now that it is about sexism.obama just wants to humilate Hillary, why else would he stage the endorsements as he has staged them ? Every time on the eve of her triumps.Obama is a disgusting individual. I will take great pleasure in casting my vote for McCain in November.This egotistical, elitist, race-dividing sexist will NEVER get my vote.

John Edwards is pathetic. Today I saw the classic example of "kissing b---". The liberal media played up the endorsement as being a powerful gesture and a historic event. It was just a calculated event staged to take the attention off Hillary Clinton's victory in West Va. I guess Obama and Edwards still think we're stupid and can't see through their manipulations. I get mad when someone like those two impune my intelligence. How about you?

V Hodge

I couldn't stand another 4 years of the Clintons. I am for Obama because we need change and he is the one with the stamina, youth and determination to get it done. As for Edwards, maybe he isn't important but there sure are a lot of people who adore him, support him and would probably wish him to be the VP nomination. You did the see the overwhelming welcome he got when he came on stage didn't you??

I really don't think that Edwards as much as wants the VP slot although maybe, as much as he sold out to the Party Elite. Like all the others he took his plaice in line like a good little soldier. And I never would have expected that from Edwards. Even his wife is against it. Edwards wife has openly campaigned for Hillary for a very long time.

I think Edwards endorsement was like getting an endorsement from Elmo! Really made me laugh. I loved the part of his speech when he said Obama was giving EVERYONE health care......when did obama decide HE WOULD FIGHT FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE HEALTH CARE? I THINK THAT WAS AN ELMO IDEA!! And did you see the smerk on obama's face and laughter when the people where "Booing" Hillary??? Well, I know that Hillary is 150+ delegates behind obama, but when she gets into that convention with over 4,000 delegates, that makes the 150 seem like peanuts.....I know she will be our President. She is really toooo good to even consider VP. If obama wins, i was not voting....not until today when I saw Elmo's endorsement. I decided I won't waste my vote...and I'll vote McCain!

You guys are not correct - John Edwards is not looking for the 2nd spot. Instead a cabinet position. He knows VP position won't happen from his endorsement, besides he ran for that before and always said he really didn't see himself there again. He has different sights.... and really sees the power of lift-off from the media. He has feared the wrath of the Clinton machine, and waited as long as he could to step on it. I didn'thear any 2 endosements, but he did walk a fine line to not denegrate Hillary. I believe out of fear - the Clinton power is losing it's grip, that's why he finally made such a late move. He is hoping for something, but not at all the 2nd spot.

John Kolb
May 14, 2008 10:18pm ET

Edwards is begging for a job, running mate or any other. This puts him in the same category of Ed Kennedy who is trying to build a Senate power base so he can run the inexperienced Obama and Jon Kerry who will always be runner up in whatever he does, he is a loser also!! I think the Democratic Party is going down with Obama as the candiate. Any one from the inept Republican Party should be able to win against the proposed Obama. Check out the polls the Democrats have one choice and sorry to say it is not the time for Obama for President.

Last evening I wondered how Hillary could win the nomination. I got out of bed and emailed her and Shawn Hannity and told them that she should take John Edwards as her VP.

Why has no news program on any channel done the math and reported the numbers - Obama's popular votes / elected delegates from the time he became better known [post Rev Wright] to the present. Had the Wright & other stories been reported earlier Obama would be well behind Hillary. The concept of the 'super delegates' was to correct exactly what has occurred, but political hacks are in the end political hacks with little backbone. We needed a black with credentials like Coln Powell to come forward, but he was too smart to run.

Edwards obviously felt today differently than he told the world 40 hours earlier on Larry King ... that he would let the voters decide... WONDER WHY? a promise for a VP ? Edwards is a $400.00 hair cut RAT! No wonder he lost in the primaries.. he speaks with a forked tongue as does Obama! ( ANY MORE MINISTERS HIDDEN IN THE BASEMENT, OBAMA?) Hillary WILL MAKE THE BEST PRESIDENT! WE NEED HER EXPERIENCE and STRENGTH!

Edwards endorsement surely has strings attached - cabinet post, ambassadorship or maybe even VP. Edwards lost his own home state the last time he was on the ticket, just what Obama needs. Maybe he can teach Obama there aren't 57 states. Obama is topping Dan Quayle - what a hoot! Flyover country out.

The demercates dont believe that a lot of Hillary voter will not show up at the pole if she dont get it, I for one will not vote for Mccain however it will be like gaving it to him if I dont vote for Obama which i will never do. I can show them better than I can tell them, I for one will not vote or show up at the pole..I already cast my vote and I feel it was stolen by the media and all other that didnt report on Obama and gave him that free pass. and I feel that the was taken from Hillary. Even now everyone can say whatever that want about her, however Obama is off limite as if they are scared to be call a racise that why he getting away with some much, I dont feel tha they real looked in to his past like the did Hillary. Obama is weak.

I am sad to say that, although I am elgible to vote, I will not be doing so in this election. Since I became old enough to vote, I have only voted once. I just don't believe that it will make a difference; I suspect that many others in my 30's age group would agree. I view the Presidential elections the same way that I did when it came to electing a Class President, in high school. It all boils down to the candidate that has the most money; greatest number of friends; clever advertising and possibly looks the best in a "Glamour Shot" photo.

Marilyn Jackson
May 14, 2008 10:25pm ET

Edwards is looking for VP or Attorney Gen. from Obama, probably has been promised that with his endorsement. Such is our system. However if Obama becomes president, we will have Michelle Obama running the man behind the title and the White House and between the two of them, this country is doomed. I will move to Canada. That is exactly how I feel.

I was born and still live in Greensboro, N. C. John Edwards is a loser. He could not even carry his own state in the 2004 election. He preaches for the poor but lives as an elitist. He would never have won a second election as Senator in N. C. because he rarely attended the Senate. He is out for himself, has a lovely wife whom I pray for each and every night but could care less that had he by some miracle won the Democratic Presidential Candidate that his lovely Wife would probably never been First Lady. He is a Jerk with a large JJJ. Pay no attention to him the candidate with his $400 haircut charged to his campaign contributions. Believe he is very disliked in his current state of N. C. on his multi-million dollar ranch in Chapel Hill. Incidently, the apparently disliked greatest President of current times, Bill Clinton, actually campaigned for this jerk when he was running for Senator.

I hope senator Obama nominates Edward as running mate: this way he will secure a definite loss because the American people remember very well how phony, slick and liar is John Edward, They will lose, despite the 99% of the black voters and 100 % of the muslim voters will be voting for Obama, regardless of their party affiliation. Just think that Saudi Arabia, with its power and wealth is behind senator Obama: their dream is to have a muslim in the white house. The future will tell. By the way: I am a democrat voting for John Mcain, because he is the better one for our country.

Hillary would be the best president of all that is running. We really need to try to help her win becase if Obama wins we may be in a lot of trouble. We do not need to change all the things he wants to change. And we don't really know much about him. Edwards thinks he will get VP but he is being fooled. So many have done Hillary wrong by not standing up for her when she just wants to help America.

Lori
May 14, 2008 10:32pm ET

I have come to the conclusion that it is NOT the American people who do not want Hillary; it is the Democratic party that does not want another Clinton in the White House and they are doing everything to make sure Obama gets the nomination. Why else would so many super delegates declare before the end of the primary season? Hillary will surely hope he loses to McCain so she can say " I told you so". I doubt she will be 'anxious' to bring 'the party together'. All the better for McCain.

May 14, 2008 10:32pm ET

Are people blind on what is going on? I think there are too many "little" things surrounding Senator Obama (i.e. Rev. Wright, comments from his wife, not wearing the American flag lapel pin). I believe this is going to hurt his chances of being elected as the next President. People should know that the Republicans are going to use all of this against him if he is nominated. Not to mention Senator Obama makes a lot of promises about change, but doesn't spend too much time on how he is going to make the changes he is promising. Now with Senator Edwards endorsing him only makes it worse. Senator Edwards has always come off to me as a used car salesman. I don't believe that Senator Obama will do too much to live up to his promises. Plus, I think he is too "green" to deal with international policy and issues. People say that it is a bad idea for Senator Obama and Clinton to run on the same ticket. I think it would be an even worse idea for Senator Obama and Edwards to run on the same ticket.

Go Hillary 2008** **************************************************************** If Hillary is forced out of the race no one else shares my views on the betterment of the country. I will vote McCain. I've lost all respect for Obama and his bitter half, Bill Richardson-what an opportunist, John Edwards=ambulance chaser the list just goes on & on. The question is who's playing who here...fools- Obama is playing you-using you. He has his own hidden agenda. Get ready and be prepared. This fool aint playing me.

May 14, 2008 10:33pm ET

Edwards wants to be Obama's running mate at any cost, sacrificing his own values and beliefs. This is evident by his late endorsement. He's another Judus. I will never vote for Obama. This could cost Edwards his career. Further, please investigate the reports emanating from Africa alleging Obama's mother was in Kenya with his ARAB Kanyan (NOT Black Kenyan) father--this is clearly shown in Kenyan Govt. Registry documents which list the father as an Arab Kenyan--at a very late term of her pregancy and was not allowed on a flight to return to HAWAII. She gave birth to him in Kenya, immediately got on a plane and then registered him as being born in Hawaii. He is NOT an African American but an Arab American and cannot claim African minority status, which by US Federal regulations require a person to have 1/8 (one-eighth) of the minority blood (12%). From his mother he has 50% white blood, from his father he has 43.25% Arab blood and from his MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER he manages to hold onto 6.75% African or Black heritage blood. He has had to duck and weave all his life and use whatever lies he could use to pass for black and the benefits this minority status provided. So even, this, while understandable--is a documented LIE! According to our USA Constitution, he is not eligible to run for the office of the presidency having been born in Kenya and not in these United States. I believe Obama to be a fraud, muslem, anti-american, and of the black liberation theology group sharing Rev Wright's views (which he said he didn't hear for 20-years). Too bad Edwards wants to sell his soul for political gain.

Here again, No wonder this is the sickest political maze :-( We the People have a poor choices to vote for. I think the focus is in the wrong direction. It's not "whom" we are voting for ------ BUT, WE who are voting..... ??? If a man can not rule/take care of his own home; he can not care for others. WE THE PEOPLE; look into our own homes and see the mess within before we go out to slove problems of others. USA is going down - down - down - if We the People put in to office of the White House an UN-Godly canditate....There is no more "IN GOD WE TRUST" ---- it seems to be 'IN MAN WE TRUST".... Sad, sad, sad, of the spirial down of our nation. I can not believe that we are so dumb to do such stupid things while claiming to be so smart. I am from North Carolina..... John Edwards, you're not fooling anyone. CHOICES BRING FORTH CONSEQUENCES...............THE WRONG PRESIDENT WILL BRING FORTH DESTRUCTION for We the People and the United States of America. GOD help the American People to put a UnGodly man in the White House..................................... "It rains on the just - and - It rains on the unjust" 666........Unite...............Unity = Barack Hus-Sin No-bama God help the millions of sick minds that are supporting our destinity; God, deliver us from this evil. All of you - You know whom you cry out to when you suddenly NEED help>>............... "Oh, my GOD".......................................help me!!!

I just wonder if all the people in the states that have voted before the Wright controversy would like to take their votes back,if they could. It really scares me to think Obama could be president with all his strange ties to some of these people. It's to late once he is in the white house. Rev. Wright said as soon as Obama is in the white house, he's coming to see him.Like Lee said in the OJ case "Something not right" Thank you for listening. MEL in Emporium, Pa.

I think it's pretty obvious what Edwards wants... to be VP because he just can't get the Pres nomination. I think he's also trying to sway the super delegates. These people are so scared of what will happen if Obama doesn't get the nomination that they're jumping on the band wagon. It's a ridiculous reason to back someone! I think it's pretty scary that so many people can't see through Obama's facade. His running has already divided the country... if people don't wake up and he gets elected the country will continue to divide. People who make excuses for Obama's relationship with Rev. Wright need to wake up! Rev. Wright didn't 'all of a sudden' start spewing his hatred... you can bet he's been preaching the same hatred for years. Someone doesn't 'work up' to that! And frankly, if what black people say about Trinity is true - it being a typical black church - then that's extremely scary! Where's the racism and hatred in this country... apparently its in the black church. I have all races in my church and you'll never hear such lies, hate, and ungodly preaching.

I just find it hard to beleive how gullible, and short lived the memories of some of the American people can be. They seem to forget in an instant that NO ONE KNOWS WHO OBAMA REALLY IS!!!! He has not done anything that would qualify him to be president, I don't know how he even became an "unknown senator". I also have never heard it explained what the rite of passage was that he had to consort with Bill Aiers (probably misspelled) for. With his many anti-american flag stomping, antisemetic freinds I sure he was and is trying to undermine our democracy and generate racial unrest. Let me think for a second-----He is batting a thousand!!!!

If you backed Hillary, Obama's views are very much in line with hers. I for one am writing a check to him, to take back America. I hope all you angry Hillary supporters do the same.

Senator Edwards is endorsing Obama for his own personal gain, not because he supports him. He himself went after Obama during the debates and questioned his experience and his voting record. If he truely believed the man would make a good president he would have endorsed him before North Carolina voted.

Beverly
May 14, 2008 10:50pm ET

To: Greta: I am shocked and fearful for our country. The unfairness of the media and now John Edwards towards the woman, Senator Hillary Clinton, in the Presidential race has determined my vote and many of my friends across the United States. We will never vote for Obama, a totally inexperienced person. And because of his associations with individuals who show hatred for our country, we are unable to trust him. The other problem we have with Obama is that over ninety (90) percent of the blacks in some of the states voted in the primaries for him and that fact with the Rev. Wright problem is a great concern to us. How racist can the black community become? It seems so unnatural that some people can not think about the solutions. Go to www.hillaryclinton.com to understand some important differences that Senator Hillary Clinton would make in our lives. My friends and I never think about race because we all are from so many different ethnic backgrounds. We met at university, socialized, and studied together - a bond that lasts a lifetime. Obama never talks of solutions. Only rhetoric! All of us are university educated and know that blacks are approximately 12.4 % of the US population. What about our Hispanic and Asian friends? Many Chinese and Japanese were our classmates, study partners, and friends.. Universal healthcare and social security are very important to us but even more important is the country and security we will provide for our children and grandchildren. Obama is not a change candidate and I do not believe what he says any longer. Senator Clinton is the only one who has detailed plans on how to enact legislation to help our economy and has worked with Republicans in the US Senate for change. I am surprised that John Edwards would endorse Obama in what looks like a planned opportunity. It is difficult for us to believe that some Democratic Leaders are allowing their own desire for power to endanger our country. However we intend to campaign vigorously and vote for Senator John McCain if Senator Clinton is not the Democratic nominee. We trust Senator Clinton but not Obama so the other choice we have is Senator McCain. Regards, Beverly Dundon

Edwards could really do nothing else. For the last four years Hillary has been researching dirt on him, getting ready to crush him in this primary. Couple that with her being the projected loser and it would be total lunacy to come out and endorse her and doing nothing but helping her every moment he did nothing. VP? Maybe. Stick it to Hillary Absolutely. They say Clinton had no plan for anything after Super Tuesday. True, I'm sure, yet I think her lack of planning (that truly hurt her) was in her not planning beyond Edwards. Four years, she planned to defeat Edwards. The same four years that the Republican party quietly got ready to lose gracefully to Hillary. Niether race nor Sex got Obama where he is. Dumping Dick Morris got Obama where he is.

Ha! This Primary election reminds me of just this very thing! Oh so SAD. Grown men and women running over people, stabbing each other in the back and jumping from one to another on a daily basis depending on who's the most popular that day!! Kind of like eating out and the question is " what's the soup of the day"?? What has happened to us? Greta, I'm 63 years old as you could probably figure and have spent my life working hard to raise my children not to, "judge a book by it's cover" and that you have to hold true to your own belief's and morals. I don't see that in many people these days! Our Country seems to have become a very self serving counry and are actually are becoming a joke to people who come here from other countries. With Politics like this going on I fear for my Children"s and GrandChildren"s futures! It's a sad day for me to listen to John Edwards endorsing Obama! I'm actually disappointed in him. A grown man, Father and husband without the backbone and moral ethics to be a man they and we could have looked at with at least respect that he's a great guy even if he couldn't make it in politics, but no he had to go and sell his soul and will lose everthing I suspect! Have people forgotten that John Edwards couldn't make it in the political arena and if this ploy for the VP on Obama's ticket should actually happen and then something happened to Obama...this man would actually be our President!!! I'm sorry that the words are coming out like I'd like them to but I'm so disgusted about this whole situation it just makes me sick! I'm it's not just Edward...Everybody should listen. think about what he said about Hillary and realize that we're letting the best of the bunch go down the tubes! Such a shame.

I think she could win, and the democrates could not tell her what to do. They have turned there back on her. The super delegates are trying to give it to him, they say they want the people to vote, yet there still voting, they lie.

What a way for Obama to deflect the crushing defeat he sustained in West Virginia yesterday. The Democrats are making a huge mistake this year. As an independant, I will have to hold my nose and vote for John McCain even though I would prefer a Democrat this year. I can't possibly vote for an inexperienced Senator that has the connections Barack Obama has. He has way too many negatives and there are too many things about Barack we do not know. Hillary Clinton has been well vetted and still stands.. she is the one to beat John McCain in the Fall.

The only role Mr. Edwards should be seeking is that of the loving, supportive and available spouse for his dying wife. She and their children deserve to have all of his attention at this time so that when her time comes (which will be sooner rather than leter) the family together will share a time those children will never forget.

If you think Edwards is going with Obama because he believes he would make the best President than you need to detox a little. The dirty will come out. I believe that if Clinton does not get the nomination, the dirty goods will soon be let out. It was stated yesterday that possibly their is a little dirt on BO. If Clinton is dissed, and the dirty secret does exist, then it will be revealed to set her up for the 2012 election. Good grief!!!

I would rather have Bill Clinton advising Hillary after the 3 AM phone call than, Michele (never had a good day in America) discussing a critical issue with Hussain after the same call. I think this is all mute anyway. When the Clinton machine fires up and works the Super Delegates, inexperienced Obama will be history, and the democratic party is going to implode. McCain is a good and honorable man, experienced and served his nation with distinction. Best candidate in the lot, but I am a bit concerned about he age, then again, look at his firey mom at 94.

Edwards is helping the DNC to short cut the process and prevent her to reach the popular vote! They are doing every single thing not Puerto Rico to vote! DNC will not pick who the Democrats should vote for! They insulted Hillarys supprters for a year by calling uneducated white racists and it will be impossible for many of us to come and back their candidate Obama in November! Republican party needs to get those heart broken wmen to John McCain's side! Right wing radio and TV should be careful to Hillary supporters because we are considering to vote for John McCain! If Hillary runs independant I will back her otherwise I am for McCain!

I would roll on the floor laughing if Hillary became President. Then let Edwards have mud on his face. Judis Richardsen will go through a box of tissue and Ted Kennedy would drink a case of scotch in a hour. It is sad that 92% of the blacks are voting on color alone and that is racist.Yet 50 % of the whites have been also voting for Obama so whos the racist ones??? Not the whites.Maybe some but not as many as like with the blacks. There are smart black people out there and a few other black intelligent men who i would like to see run for President but it is not Obama. He is not the right one.

Edwards clearly waited til now to state his endorsement because he wanted to see who would be ahead, in other words endorse the winner so he has a job. I think many of the remaining superdelegates are doing the same. That's also why I think there are so many turncoats from Hillary's camp-follow the winner to get a piece of the action. This entire campain between Obama and Hillary is a joke. The DNC is clearly trying to manipulate the results. One of our basic rights as Americans is the right to vote. The DNC took that right away from the people of Michigan and Florida just because of what some politicians decided. The governments of Venezuela and Kenya are guilty of that. Well now I guess our government is too. They don't want a woman in power so why not manipulate the election their way? Clearly a woman could'd do as bad as the men have throughout the history of our country.

May 14, 2008 11:12pm ET

Vicky, I understand what you are saying, however, I do not agree with the Bill O and Hannity and Comes comment. It is clear that the regular media stations do not devuldge all information. Bill O. rating are already the highest, I do not believe its all about ratings. Unfortunatly, race has been brought up but it was by the polititions not cable news. It continues because of the way voters have voted. WV only had 4% African American voters and look at the difference. North Carolina, same thing. It is very sad

People are afraid to ask Obama hard questions. Being labeled a racist ruins careers and reputations. It's Obama's WMD and it has many of the Democratic elite scared to death. It's not going to work in the general election because the Republicans have carried the racist label for years. They are immune!

May 14, 2008 11:14pm ET

Greta, I have always, always respected your work and your contribution. . . .Fox? Not so much. Every poll that I notice (every few weeks, to be honest) shows such an overwhelming bias toward the partisan Fox/Faux "News" party line! It should be so embarrassing to Fox, and if it does embarrass them, I would expect them to close down your polls or at least try harder to manipulate the way questions are phrased.

This whole election cycle is a circus this year. Why, all of a sudden, did the election system this year stop paying attention to the number of votes people receive. Why do the head honchos get to say who is the candidate? We no longer have a democracy? We seem to have evolved into a kakistocracy.

Trust me the "dirty" on BO (as you say), is being dug up as fast,furious and feverishly as SH(it) can dig it up. Hannity, Rush "the drug addict" Limbaugh are the worst this country has to offer.

I admire McCain also, I also had and still have family members who have served this nation well. There are some POW's who have never come home to even have the opportunity to run for President. But still all he has is war experience. I don't want Americans dying over a thousand year old civil war. Not one life.

If i were Obama I would not pander to those white voters of West Virginia (as we all know that is KKK land), for they will not vote for him if it was an act that would prevent them from having to walk through hell with gasoline soaked drawers on. and that goes for the black and brown haters too. I understand that change is something that 95% of people fear. But it is time to let go of your forefathers fear,fear-mongering and fear-mongering ways. No matter what Barack says there are those who will never vote for a black (or in this case 1/2 black mad) man. And as our American history books have learnt us, one drop of black blood means, what? YOU IS BLACK! How pathetic! I sometimes wonder, is hatred generic? I mean, if your family is racist, you are brought up racist, you were subjected to racist teaching while in utero over the centuries, can there be a mutation within your genes as other diseases are capable of doing? Someone should look into this, it would be a good college thesis. Steven Hawking do you know?

If Edwards wasn't in the primary on Super Tuesday, Hillary would be the nomine-no question. Remember Edwards asking Obama about his not votes in one of the debates. He stated that Hillary actually voted. It was kind of heated. Edwards wants to save the Democratic Party-he probably was called over and over last night by Kennedy, Kerry, Peolosi. . . They are all so studpid. He will not be able to win no matter what they do. He will not be able to bring the core lifer dems in.

Greta, I watch your show a lot as well as H&C & O'Reilley. I also watch MSNBC as well as CNN. I do this to get all view points from different perspectives from liberal to conservative. I find it so interesting that Sean Hannity told the Rev. Wright story in March of 2007 and Wright made a complete ass of himself on his show that long ago. Nobody noticed. I did...but what I didn't know at the time was the depth to which Wright was preaching hate, spewing vemon etc. He came across as a Farrakan type character back then and to find out that Obama is linked to him, to Ayers, to Resko in Chicago, which everybody has forgotton is frankly very concerning! What I also find interesting is that Sean, you and Bill have not touched the preacher controversy surrounding McCain's buddy Hagen? He is an awful preacher spewing hatred and bigotry on the same level! What is freakin wrong with our political leaders of today? It is SO OBVIOUS that Edwards came out today to steal the thunder from Hillary on her win in W.VA last nite! He is gunning certainly for a position such as Atty.General and has cut some deal with O. That seems pretty apparent! What is really sad is that Hillary has really gotten the bumm rush! None of the news channels like her,...only Joe Scarborough speaks well of her...she is the most experienced, the most detailed in how she will fix the govt. woes and the most clear in HOW she will do it. Obama speaks so well and is so mesmerizing in his rhetoric...but it is all just that empty words. When one analyzes what he is saying...it really is nothing but pretty words without substance~ It is VERY SAD that he has fooled so many people. So what that he has raised more money than GOD or any candidate to date? Will that make him a good Prez.?? I don't believe so. The media is so down on Hillary and Bill....although I have to say that FOX is not. You guys are the only channel that doesn't beat the point that pundits etc. hate Bill so much~! It is so obvious on CNN and MSNBC that their panels and guests hate Hillary and HATE BILL more~my question is WHY? Bill was not a moral man and a real loser as far as a husband...but, as a PREZ he did a better job than either Bush or Reagan for that matter. He has the best economy record ever! We had a surplus and a very functioning economy with him in office. Something was pretty right when he was there. Why has all the politicos forgotten this? He really gets a bumm rush on the facts...it stands to reason with our economy doing so badly who better to fix it than Hillary and Bill? I know he can and I am sure she can do the best job for us right now...if Obama gets the nom and he doesn't bring Hillary with him....they will lose the general in Nov. I am a big political watcher and I can gtd. that the DEMS will lose if they don't play this right. This blog is full of folks saying that they will vote for McCain if Hillary is pushed out. The thing is~she has won more SWING states in the last few weeks than he has/so he got NC-it's mostly black~ well, I live in VA and I can promise you news folks that he won't take VA in the general election~and if he thinks that asking Jim Webb, our guy, will get him the Reagan democrats like myself...he is sadly mistaken. The only reason Webb got in is coz...the Macaca guy screwed up (the racial comment cost him the senate righto?). He is not known nationally--he's not a bad guy but hasn't done anything here in VA to be recognized as somebody with voice, power or position moving forward. He is a nobody for the rest of USA to lock up the votes that O needs...he desperately needs old folks, blue collars, women and us Reagan dems. I voted for Reagan and was sorry afterwards. Reagan was not all that great and not without his own scandals such as Iran/Contra affair...everybody on the right fails to point these things out when having political discussions. I saw Ron last nite on MSNBC cuttin down Hillary and boosting O...it was really sickening~! Hillary's best PERIOD!

Laura I believe you are on the mark with part of your post. That is to say, if I was Michele O, I would tell my husband, "what the heck do you think you are doing? Run for President of this country so that some wacked out psycho on oxyocotin can take pot shots at you? Are you kidding"? No, I would want my husband home with me to help raise our 2 girls. Just running for President of this country as a black man is dangerous not to mention the very chance of being elected. I pray that I am wrong, but I can't help but think there may be a need for one of those "pope-mobiles". How sad when the richest country in the world shows the rest of the world such primative behavior. If Hillary is the nominee, I will stay home.

As a native of Indiana, it is pretty strange when Obama comes here he hangs out with the Muslim factions. His first trip to Indy, he visited Plainfield, where the Islamic Center of North America is. Also a Muslim man I know told me the night before the Indiana primary, Obama invited his Mosque's members to a rally. For a while his Mosque told him that Obama was a Muslim, but later withdrew that sentiment. Pretty odd that he is always courting the Muslim vote, more than most believe.

Of course they want this nomination process over because they know that if it goes to convention then Hillary will win. They are all afraid of that, considering they jumped ship or broke their loyalty and it will come back to bite them in the butt. The democratic process is severly broken and needs to completely explode so that it can be put together back right. What a joke it has become. Why not have a convention fight the fighting has been going on in the back room for quite so time, or would it be too public? Really who is Barack Obama? Be careful of what you wish for. For all you young voters, this isn't a college football game, this is your country that you will be living in for a long time. Do yourselves a favor and research your candidate. This isn't about voting for the next American Idol this is a person with a shady background, with shady relationships and is not change but the same old politics of what will it take to get elected, what do I need to say and who needs to be thrown under the bus. Obama is making Hillary look like a saint. How ironic that every time Obama is under fire he throws an endorsement out of his pocket. Obama would have been out of this race ages ago if the press did their job at vetted him. Edwards will not help bring in the blue collar workers because it does not change who Obama is and if Edwards did matter than he would still be in the race. So I say you did it again DNC and are giving the WH to the Republicans, because I as a Democrat would rather vote for a man who has served his country, is moderate, more trustworthly, does not take special interest money and loves his country over a shady Chicago politician. For many it will be about the candidate and not the party. Edwards has gotten it wrong 3 times now and he is out.

I can't believe AMERICANS are voting for this man. You reap what you sow, and you AMERICANS who voted for this man are going to be crying your hearts out if he becomes president. MCCAIN will get MY vote. HOWARD DEAN you're handing the election to the REPUBLICANS. Pat yourself on the back.
