Yes, I definitely feel that experience plays a huge role in the inner workings of politics, and Hillary has beaten that by a huge margin. I can honestly say that both Hillary and Obama have skeletons in their closets, but I'd much rather have a president who has proven to help many minorities (Hillary) including African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and so forth in the state of New York than someone (Obama) who was know to have played a role in shutting down a factory in Illinois leaving hundreds of minority workers jobless. Who's really for the people? Playing dirty? That's like a rule in politics, so what's all this fuss on "playing dirty"? Didn't one of Obama's representatives call Hillary a "monster" not to long ago? Clearly Obama's campaign is getting personal, and is not adequately describing professional flaws that Hillary has. Just "dribble, dribble, liar, cheater, dribble". All allegations clearly biased. Here's one many of you are going to love: Which presidential candidate is funding the war right now as we speak? Obama Yep you guessed it, Although Hillary along with most of the U.S. Senate voted for occupation in Iraq in order to find the real "monster" that was responsible for 9/11 (Osama bin Laden); the person that's funding the blood bath is the leading Democratic nominee. Many of you are probably saying "Well, he's funding for the soldiers, not the war" Wrong. Obama is currently funding the war with Iraq which adds to the already 1 billion dollar war funding that the Federal Reserve is providing in order to SUSTAIN militia. Non-profit organizations such as the Red Cross is funding medicine, food, amenities and so forth. Obama's bucks are going for weapons. This is coming from someone who's so anti-war? Even Obama said that he was unclear if he would've voted for occupation back in 2001 if he was in the U.S. senate. To conclude, I stated facts about Obama, inefficiency to provide what this country needs; A strong, experienced leader. Expressing my opinion like everyone else who wrote a reply in this blog. Cheers. I’m actually quite glad that Hillary won these states.

I have totally lost all respect for Hillary Clinton. Why is it okay for her to whine when things aren't going in her favor? I also hate the fact that she can get away with always throwing it out blatantly that she's a female candidate. So what? People would pass out if Obama kept saying I'm the African American candidate. I think the voting people could really care less (at least the Obama supporters) about sex or race; it's all about the issues and who would be the best person to handle them. Now she's acting like the Chesire Cat because she feels like she can sway the Superdelegates in her way. You think that by winning Ohio and Texas you should be the candidate? Nope, wrong answer. The fight will continue. This also means that Michigan and Florida will have a do over if they are to be counted fairly. Clinton was the only name on the ballot in Michigan, and all had agreed not to campaign in Florida (although she had a fundraiser in the State of Florida Hmmmmm). Let's start playing fair. Stop doctoring pictures, saying stuff about NAFTA and Reznek that you can't back up with facts. How about showing us your tax returns? Clinton will do what whatever it takes to win even it that means losing the General election. I must admit she has added drama into the campaign, but it't the type of drama I'd much rather see on a soap opera. The mudslinging will divide the party and will make Democrats, Republicans and Independents consider voting for McCain or some other candidate. Yes, all parties will need to vote for our candidate (who ever it is) in order for a Democrat to regain control of the Oval Office. I find it sad that only a few people in the know have openly stated that Obama has more legislative experience than Clinton. Besides, experience doesn't always equal wisdom and good old fashioned common sense. The 3 a.m. phone call commercial insults an informed American's intelligence. I want the Commander in Chief to consult with the rest of the staff before making a major decision. Our country would be in more trouble if Bush could just automatically decide to do what he pleased. Now that's a scary thought for real people. Please Superdelegates vote for the will of the people or we're going to be plenty mad. Ugh!!!!! I have totally lost all respect for Hillary Clinton.

Obama is likely to pick up more than that in the next two states and have even a greater delegate lead than before March 4th, and with a lot less states left. Seems like Hillary is done, even with any Florida & Michigan scenarios. With all the Hillary hype… she actually picked up what? between 4 to 10 delegates on Tuesday?

The results of Tuesday's contests were very disappointing. Especially being an Ohioan, I am very frustrated with my state! After watching Barack's Tuesday night speech and seeing how confident and determined he was, I grew more confident and determined. He's not down and out, so we shouldn't be either! We lost 3 states after an amazing 12 state BLOW OUT, and are STILL way ahead in pledged delegates! We should be happy! If anything, March 4th was a turning page for the race, that's all. Barack will learn from this and become a better candidate. He's expected to increase his delegate lead by winning Wyoming and Mississippi. He's 9 points down in PA right now, but there is time. 7 weeks to be exact. Once the makes the case to the people of PA, the gap will close. I am determined to soldier on and do EVERYTHING I can to make sure Barack secures this nomination. Ride or die. Lastly, I'd like to say something to the people who accuse blacks for voting for Barack just because he's black. Don't be ignorant. This past summer, Hillary had the majority of the black vote. Barack had to earn it and he did--Rightfully so. I am voting for a candidate who is honest, trustworthy, brilliant, has superior judgement, who has the ability to inspire Americans to get involved in their government and who believes that the best days of America still lie ahead...and he happens to be black. To insinuate that blacks are voting for him because he's black is just plain insulting, so FALL BACK with that mess.

I had the misfortune of turning on the TV this morning and watching HRC & BO on Good Morning America. Ugh. I am a Democrat who USED to wish Bill could run again. But never have been a fan of HRC. When she became a Senator she couldn't fight the fight. Her ideas got watered down. And then I realized that was a large part of Clinton's presidency...backed off from the Health Care issue, Education, Gay issues. The conviction they ran on became nothing. They gave in to the political machine. And the fact that she still stands by her decision to enter a war based on lies? I can't understand that. BO has created and inspired a political movement. Previous apolitical people are voting and making their voice heard in unprecedented numbers. His supporters...won't let him become watered down, fall into the political machine. I find HRC comments about "just speeches" condescending to me. It is discounting my involvement to be inspired and make change happen. Part of me can't believe I am writing this. I was an Edwards supporter challenging my family who has supported BO. Once Edwards dropped out, I chose BO. And with all of this negative campaigning from HRC, my decision has strengthened. I will continue to pray and keep believing that "Yes, WE can. Thanks Bella! You could not have put it any better…UGH.

Her touting her experience as First Lady while he was Governor and President is a crock...all she did was stand and take a couple of pictures...really, if you compare her true Senate experience with Obama's senator experience, they are equal; better yet, Obama has more experience than she...
