Speaking for THIS "thinking woman"
I'm sticking with the candidate that has experience - good experience that can stand up to John McCain's "Big Daddy" platform and that ain't Barrack Obama.
As for Oprah, damn her to hell. After she gets him nominated and he gets creamed by McCain, she'll still have her billions and penthouses and limousines. And the poor will be more screwed than ever.
Shame on her. Just can't stand those limousine liberals.

Just admit the only reason you're voting for Hillary is because she's a woman and be done with it already.
Oh, and a Clinton.

A new song by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas inspired by Obama's New Hampshire concession speech. Very moving.

You and all of Limbaugh's dittoheads. I haven't heard the old "limousine liberal" slander in a long time. Republican much?

But who will Mingey vote for?
That's the real question.
We know that Gary will go with Mingey.

I am not supporting Hillary because she is a woman. I am supporting her because of her experience and she will EFFECTIVELY do the things that are important -namely reform healthcare and stop the deficits and appoint smart people to her cabinet. These things will have the biggest impact on Americans continuing on with something resembling the lifestyle their parents enjoyed - or whether they go the way of Brazil and Mexico.
The same of course cannot be said of Barrack Obama (*either that his black support is not because he's black (at least he's black when THAT's convenient - *or that he's qualified). The only Republicans here are the ones promoting Barrack Obama knowing he'll get creamed - and the supposed "liberals" who hang out flaming Democrats who want to win, and then reveling in defeat on TableTalk threads after they lose, fancying themselves aristocratic martyrs.
I can't help but get the feeling that neither the Salon aristocrats or Oprah will be all that bothered OR adversely affected by a McCain presidency the way struggling working class Americans will be.
And there in lies the problem and why your smug (and wrong) opinions mean nothing to me.

BO still not talking to the press
I would also add that Mrs. Clinton has an intelligent and thoughtful solution for near everything she's asked. She is near amazingly versed on the issues and clearly is competent to enact solutions. Add to this her near entire lifes work has been helping the needy.
My alternative is a man who chose aligning himself with a rich slumlord for a fancy dancy home when he actually had the chance to help the very constituents who needed him.
A man who divides our party, starts race wars, and spends hundreds of millions of dollars running advertisements but won't even sit down and talk to the people at a press conference?
You gotta be kidding.

@factcheck
Both of these women should have been smart enough to know that Karl Rove and the G.O.P. created the Obama candidacy to prevent Clinton's landslide victory in November. With all the baggage associated with his relationship to an indicted slumlord, Obama has no chance in November once the mainstream media starts reporting on this 12-year quid pro quo (after Hillary's out of the way, of course). Supporting Barack is tantamount to letting the Bush-Cheney cabal maintain their lock on the White House for another four years!
Exactly.

similarly.
Like Ann Coulter, of all people, would ever support a Democrat.
I suppose we're also supposed to believe that her vocal pronouncement and sudden conversion isn't conveniently timed with super Tuesday as yet another engineered way of fracturing off the ever gullible super-left into doing something emotional and stupid. (again)

As has been said before
No Clinton-supporter should call Obama unelectable because of Rezko. Clinton's history of scandals make Rezko look like an afternoon tea. Luckily for both of them, McCain has Keating in his past, and so hopefully won't want attention focused on anyone's past financial scandals.

Attention Obama Supporters
Let's all meet back here around May, 2009, when President Obama has put into practice his "bipartisan" administration. Translation: caving to the rethugs on every, single issue. I want to hear what you progressives have to say then.

Lose his anti-war credentials...and honor?
If Bill Richardson does not endorse Barack Obama before the New Mexico primary -- it means he did not seriously mean it when he ran as the "Anti-War" candidate.
I like Richardson and my family is from New Mexico -- but this will be very sad, indeed.
So, again, Bill: a potential cabinet postion -- or integrity about the war? Which is it? These are the moments where character counts and destiny calls. You seem to have chosen ambition over honor.
Tragic.

Oprah aint enough
No matter how many times Ms. Oprah ventures out of her home in California, to pressure her fans to support "Her Senator" we are still faced with a horrible reality. The Republican Party is frothing at the mouth, so to speak, to defeat Senator Obama because they know our country will not elect an ex-drug dealer.
This country has not grown enough to understand the involvements around becoming under the influence of things that govern our better judgement. Too many people, particularly Seniors who are my group, somewhat understand "users" but are strongly opposed to "dealers" of illegal drugs.
The Republicans will run this ex-drug dealer theme more than they did Harry and Louise/ Willie Horton, or Osama against any Democrat ads combined.
The man who Oprah has designated as "her Senator" will not win this election because of his past loss of judgements. Her money and celebrity cannot overcome that prejudice, especially not in this time of trying to recover from the consequences of the "blackout drinker" who has lived the past eight years in the White House.

More freshly-minted Hillarybots
(see above first-time-poster's 'drug-dealing' fiction).
WTF? Calling Obama a drug-dealer? And Obama supporters are supposed to be the hateful name-callers? [by the way, GW's coke-dealing past is not denied. You just made up the Obama thing.]

Are you working for Rove, or just routing for him?
No Clinton-supporter should call Obama unelectable because of Rezko. Clinton's history of scandals make Rezko look like an afternoon tea
You are truly shameless, aren't you?
On the contrary the Republicans spent limitless taxpayer dollars "investigating" Mrs. Clinton and her husband au nauseum, going so far as to lock up people in shackles to try to make them lie about them and came up with NOTHING.
For those of you who truly do support Obama, you best think about that. His scandals are fresh and Rezzo has already been convincted.
