So Catstevens, are you a Hillary supporter who is going to the other sandbox to play, now that your gal is pretty much wiped out? Or are you content with politics as usual or worse if McCain gets his hands on America? Time to change course my friend and McCain isn't going to do that for us.

Hillary is dead right in this commment. John McCain is a more refined hypocrite than Bush. He appears to forget his previous discourses.
1. When Hamas won elections in Palestine, he said US and Israel should engage them in talks for peace in the region. Now a candidate, he says they are terrorists and falsely accuses Obama.
2. He fought Bush tax custs in 2000 as irresponsible. Now a candidate, he not only supports it but wants to make it permanent. Like marrying a girl he did not want to date.
3. Only after AP ran a story that his wife has financial holdings and interests in Sudan, they decided to dump it.
4. He says he will end war in Iraq in 4 years as if he has the prescription drug that Bush did not know about it.
5. For Bush & McCain Iran is a terrorist nation. For others like India, China, Russia, Venezuela it is a UN country.
The more this SCUM opens his mouth, he looks more of a seasoned hypocrite Washington politician.
Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. The accusation is not false. Hamas has stated publicly that their preferred candidate is Obama. Obama has responded that he cares not a fig about Hamas.
2. Did McCain fight them? Let me research....I believe that he voted for it, but that was a party-line vote (48-3 GOP vs 2-46 Dem, with the ind. voting against. Cheney broke the tie in favour of the bill).
4. You can't have it both ways any more than Obama's critics can. Either he wants to be there for 100 years, or he has a "magic wand" that will get you out in 4. Pick a story and stick with it.
5. Iran is more-or-less openly affiliated with Hezbollah, which is regarded as a terrorist organisation by countries as tolerant as the Netherlands (not to mention the US). As such, any US politician (including McCain) is entirely correct, under US law, in referring to Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism. I disagree with that assessment, but then, I'm not American.

In terms of policy choices, Clinton is presumably closer to Obama than she is to McCain, but that has to be a guess, because Obama's only relevant accomplishments and attributes are a few speeches and his ability to spellbind susceptible individuals.
However, for me, after 8 years of the worst president ever, the most important issue by far is competence. Right now, I think Obama and McCain are both far from acceptable on this criteria. A very disappointing choice.

McCain changed his tune precisely because he knows what got Bush elected to a second term. Bush was re-elected despite the war mistakes being well publicized, and the renditions, habeas-corpus abuses and the unwarranted surveillance in the news. People are really afraid the Muslims are coming to their home town.

Of course it could lead to a terrible mistake. But good grief, if people haven't figured out the disaster of republican politics and policies in the last seven years, they're certainly not going to come to some magical understanding in the next six months! I'm sick of cry babies. If Obama loses the nomination, I'll vote for Clinton despite the fact that I've grown to be disgusted with her. McCain represents total disaster, & my personal feelings won't get in the way of that reality.

when the dem nomination is all sewn up, you're going to see hillary, bill, and every other democrat out there throwing their complete support to obama.
Obama is history in the making.
McCain is a 20th century answer to 21st century problems.
bill, hillary and all the dems know this.

I beleive the percentage of Hillary Clinton supporters who - in the end - do not vote for Barack Obama will be in the single digits.
Why do I believe that?
Because John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsberg will almost certainly retire within the next Presidential term. Because the war must come to an end. Because America's jobs are being outsourced. Because gas costs too much. Etc, etc...
Obama will be the next president because he understands this. ...and McCain... ...McCain does not...
Judging from the special elections recently - with some very Republican districts voting in Democrats - I'd say the election is the Democrats' to lose. Let's hope they don't blow it.

I fear, I fear, I fear that some awful concoction of racism; the authoritarian impulse to divide the world into black and white, US and THEM, and which requires an enemy to affirm national strength and a sense of proctectedness; anti-intellectualism; class prejudice/envy; rejection of self-interest in favor of "values"-voting...
...that all of these things will sink the Obama effort.
I hope not. But.....
