Clinton bad for Democrats
[Read the article: Clinton, Obama debut new ads]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama a usual is positive, on the other hand Clinton loves giving the republicans something to use against another Democrat.
I still find it hard to believe that Hillary supporters think she has so much experience. Hillary has LESS legislative experience than Obama and has no more foreign policy experience than Obama.
The Senate legislation she claims to be her own in the U.S. Senate was not sponsored by Hillary, she just voted yes on it. She claims experience in foreign countries during her husbands presidency but it was NOT policy making experince. She had no power. She, like most first ladies, just did "goodwill" trips abroad nothing more.
Obama knows better than present this, so republican can use it, but she does not care. She do any thing to win. Problem is if Hillary does get the nomination, Democrats will loose to McCain.

My prediction
[Read the article: Clinton, Obama debut new ads]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am hoping Obama will win big. I was pretty worried just before about WI because the polls ere very close, but Obama blew Hillary out of the water.
I think she may win by a very slight margin in Oh, but he will take TX VT,. RI. Unless Hillary wins all 4 by 65%, she is still behind in delegates. She has not one ONE state by 65%, not even NY.
I have my doubts, evenif she looses, she will drop out, as she only cares about wining,not the party.

Hillary's Poll?
[Read the article: Quarter of Clinton supporters would vote McCain over Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]did Hillary pay for this poll.
I seem to be hearing the opposite from long time progressive Democrats.

The trend continues
[Read the article: The numbers crunch Hillary in Texas]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is exactly what happened in WI. Hillary was ahead; then Obam gained on her; the evening before the election the polls showed a close race. Then Obama won by 65%.
I hope it happens again today so Democrats can unit around Obama!!!
If Hillary wins by a small margin in one state and stays in, it will be a disaster for the Democrats.

If she loses
[Read the article: Dean says he's concerned about a prolonged race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If Hillary does not win by a big margin, (more thtn 65% both OH & TX) there will be pressure on her to to get.
I support Obama, but even if Obama wins today and the vote is close, I think Hillary should stay in until April.
I agree Obama is doing a great job responding to both Hillry and McCain at the same time. Yesterday I watched CSPAN "road to The white House". Obama was at a town meeting in TX. He was great on his feet answering questions. I then watched Hillary's speech in Tx. She was better than she has been the past 2 weeks, but Obama's presentation was much more presidential.
Obama's emotions seem to be more steady, while Hillary's emotions go way up, then way down, depending on how's she doing. Not a good sign for leading a nation.

Super delegates
[Read the article: 50 superdelegates ready to endorse Obama?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama has been getting one or two super delegates a day. He just got another from SC today.
You can bet if he wins or she only wins one state by a small margin, there will be more Obama endorsements next week. The Democrats want this over.
If this race continues Hillary will just hurt the party with her negativity.

Definition of feminist
[Read the article: Women and Clinton: Damned if they vote, damned if they don't?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well this old feminist is making no excuses for voting for Obama. He is the best choice for th Democrats. He is out best hope of winning in Nov. Voting for Hillary just because she is a woman is rather counter to feminism.
The definition of feminism by Gloria is "full Equality for both women and men". You do not have to be a woman to be a feminist.
Obama is a feminist. Obama actually has a legislative record on woman's issues. I see very little from Hillary. In fact I really don't consider Hillary a feminist at all. She followed her man to AK, spent most of her life campaigning for Bill and cleaning up after him. She is not her own person. She is running on her husband's experience, instead of her own.
Frankly lately I think she has done a big disservice to women with her actions in this campaign.

Hillary will demand those votes
[Read the article: Should Florida and Michigan vote again? ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary will DEMAND they give her the votes. If so then yes they should have anther vote. However if even they do have another vote, Obmam will still be ahead in delegates if they do. As in Michigan his name was not even onhe ballot and in FL most of the later votes cast were for Obama. He will still be ahead in delegates after TC & Oh all counted.
Hillary finally learned from the Obama cmapaign, and got some people on the ground, and started raising money online. Of course Obama is still way ahead in money, but money did not work this time.
I just am very disappointed because Obama is running a very ethical, decent campaign. For once we had a chance to have a campaign th high ground, but Hillary changed all that with her down and dirty politics. I guess people in OH and TX like down and dirty.
McCain has a real advantaged now and if Hillary will tear the party apart with her dirty campaingn tactics.

Obama will still be ahead
[Read the article: Should Florida and Michigan vote again? ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hey Hillary voters, how would they count the votes in Michigan. The candidates, agreed before these elections in MI to take their names off of the ballot. Hilary chose not to be ethical and left her name on. So how do you give out the MI delegates. 40% of the voters put undecided because Obama and Edwards were not on the ballot. So does that mean the 40% "undecided" goes to Obama? In FL his name was on the ballot, so it would be easier. However Obama would still be ahead in delegates. Its the delegates that count, and Obmam has been winning in congressional districts with the most delegates, even in the states he lost.
So teh real question is, to what length are the tough fighters in the Clinton campaign and among her supporters willing to go their win and divide our party?
