Like I see. Thank you for information tht i get.

The most valuable prize to come from the Edwards endorsement has been the additional delegates & those have certainly helped Obama's efforts to lock down the nomination & contribute to his air of innevitability...

A wise man once said to me that if you know you can't trust anyone, you will only do business with the people that you like.

In fact, Bill Clinton was kind of likeable even though the world knew him as a flim-flam artist, who made even Rush Limbaugh funny as Bill repeatedly donated endless material to Rush, and to the late night comics. What a disappointment to me his presidentcy became, dashing my high hopes that he might have a heart for the workers. If anything, his administration was a continuation of Bush Sr.

HRC does not even come off as likeable. Moreover I am so certain that this country needs fundemental change in it's core agenda, that I am ready to throw my support to Sen. Obama, Jessie Ventura, or anyone else whose election will demonstrate my distain for the present administration.

I have confidence that no great social change happens in four years anyway, but at least we can open the dialogue. I now have hopes for Obama, though I would like to hear more substance in his pep talks.

Sadly McCain doesn't have to do much to win over the White Working Class voters. Don't forget that voting is often more about emotion and gut than rational decision making. From my personal experience coming from a blue collar family where people are excited if you graduate high school, when you ask they why did they vote for so and so? The answer is inevitable is just I liked them better and nothing more.

And unless Obama can shake his image of being an educated elite, and get down home honest, face to face with working class and those struggling to be middle class he's going to lose them to McCain. And we'll be seeing the same voting pattern John Kerry had win the progressive educated area and diehard democrats but lose the independents and swing voters.

The John Edwards endorsement to support Barack Obama was a pleasant surprise to his camp, and a major defeat to the Clinton Camp, because she had been hoping for that support. Also, I do not believe the media is persuading the public to support Obama, rather I believe the Clinton Camp has been psychologically appealing to the "separate, but equal" doctrine and to only one segment of the population. Clinton never said Obama's blackness was a reason for being "unelectable," but in all of her strategies "to win" she might as well have used these words to influence support. By appealing to only one segment of the voting population, Clinton failed to include the biracial voting block in her campaign, and still has not acknowledged those voters as a legitimate voting block. Rather, it has been easier to divide and polarize people. Clinton likely comes from a place where on Sunday mornings the pastors kissed snakes in the name of Jesus and later in the afternoon they all gathered by the river to watch white men lynch a black man. Thus, her comfort level with black people and knowing how they will respond to her. Her strategies have been harmful and toxic to the extent that many African Americans now support Obama. And for Clinton it was not about winning, but more about keeping a black man from leading this country. She has become an indifferent, bitter white woman looking to beat the black man, even though she benefitted from every piece of civil rights legislation over other ethnics in this nation.

The media has been describing this as a fight, not a contest. Most of the words used to describe Clinton's approach have included "whip," "beat down," and "break him," as if Obama was a candidate for a good lynching.

Only reasonable people in this country are willing to admit that a black man can lead this nation and try to reverse all of the chaos in the economic system, the failing schools, the jobs that leave this country everyday, and the healthcare services unavailable to many white, black and ethnic working Americans. Black leadership in this nation has a visible and productive presence, and is no longer something to be feared. Bush, a white man, has garnered the distinction as the worst president in the history of this country due to the soaring costs of the war and the inexcusable waste by his Administration to squander human lives and natural resources.

Many believe the Clinton strategies are not historic either, but cheap and tawdry, signalling desparation, because she really does not have a plan.

I would love to have a female as our first president, but not Hillary Clinton. She is too polarizing and still believes whiteness translates to privilege. Unfortunately, white men have led this country into an abyss of wasteful degradation with an unethical war and a government that will save a bank before it will save its citizens, who are losing their homes everday. We are the world's largest jailer and we are running out of money, we all pay higher fuel costs to get to work and to purchase food, and yet I cannot believe people are unwilling to support someone who passionately believes the American Dream is slipping away from all of us. Obama is willing to reverse and transform the levels of deprivation, dependence, and loss by getting us all involved in the process. That is CHANGE, because most people elected to Washington have taken care of themselves and forgot about the people.

Besides, I believe Clinton would have a problem engaging all the different voices of diversity at the same table to fix issues Bush will leave us with. And Bush is thinking of striking Iran before he leaves office!!!! I believe you are truly misguided in your perceptions about Barack Obama, and certainly twisted about Clinton, as well as who the media supports.

Clinton comes off as a scorned woman, and is trying to push her way through to the presidency by using racially inflammatory language that implies her superiority as a white woman. Barack Obama, on the other hand, has had to earn every vote, every delegate, and every superdelegate and still engage the American public first to support his candidacy. Inspite of Clinton, Barack Obama has managed a successful campaign and has risen to every occassion where his integrity, character, and experience have been attacked by the Clinton Camp. Obama appeals to many people, and they have joined his campaign to support him and his vision. It is the American people, afterall, who are suffering from the Bush policies, not the Bushes, the Clintons, or even the McCains.

The black guy has earned the right to be nominated, and win the presidency, and to bring some stability to the nation so that all is not lost.

Wow, crat3. How many boards have you commented on?

I do trust Obama to fix a lot of the problems in government that Bush has created. I do think he will work with all his might for the benefit of Americans everywhere. Obama will get troops out of Iraq as soon as he can, and he will be a stabilizing force as commander in chief after the ineptness Bush.

We will all need to support Obama 100% against the hate-filled neocon republican machine of lies and smears. These smear mongers are satanic and wicked and it will be a fight all the way to get a Democrat back into the whitehouse to clear up the damage of Bush/Cheney.

Game IS over, nomination-wise.

And Obama has a pretty good chance of being elected president of the USA, since he will be facing McCain, whose platform is bankrupt in the eyes of most Americans who use their heads. Plus the "new face" factor.

But the big question mark is the unconfessable, deep-running and irrational mistrust, dislike and fear of black people on the part of all other components of this society -- white, brown, yellow. If that prevails at the last minute in front of the voting machine....

Anyway, Obama in the Oval Office won't even begin to seriously tackle some of America's most pressing problems, like health care, housing, public transportation and now eve staple food prices. Military spending will continue.

LOL, you got that wrong! Were you Aesop in another life? This morning Obama got 8 Edwards deligates, and is very likely to get remaining the 10. If that ain't a big help, what is? That sweet score makes it easier for more Clinton supers to come to Obama.
Hopefully Edwards will also be an active Kentucky campaigner, and later, also stump against John McBush. If not, I'd sure rather have Edwards with us than against us...

IB - You are kidding, right? The "Bro's before Ho's" shirt was not a creation of the Obama campaign, that was done by someone with Photoshop who wanted to sell tee-shirts. Second, Donna Brazile does not speak on behalf of Senator Obama. What I hope you do is take a sober look at your nation's best interests and vote accordingly in November.

The race IS basically over.
Obama has 1899 delegates and will have the majority of delegates out of the remaining primaries. Pelosi and others have promised to pledge their superdelegates votes to who has the majority by June 3. He will have those votes as well. Barring some freak event, he will have 2,025 by the convention. Florida and Michigan will likely be seated IF its clear they will not change the outcome. Those states broke the rules and cant be allowed to determine the outcome.
