I am glad to see people "coming to their senses" and deciding to vote for Obama.Hilary would want it that way. As Democrats we have to stick together or loose the election! No one wants that!

...And when will Hillary write out a check to Obama for $2300 to show that she supports his candidacy? What's good for the goose is good for the gander!

I don't think Obama is winning over most Clinton supporters. Those of us who did not support him in the primaries believe he is unqualified to be president. The fact that he won the primaries doesn't change that simple hard fact.
We don't have any obligation to support him, and many of us have already made up our minds to vote for Senator McCain instead.

bobbiewick I'm glad you find Senator McCain worthy. All I see is 4 more years of Bush, I will vote Democrat until the Republican Party starts caring for us hard working people. In the past I bought into their BS and I'm sick of it. I had a better life under Clinton even though I never voted for him. Hopefully there are more people like me who are tired of the right wing propaganda.

He's literally purchasing Clinton's supporters. They better watch out when he comes to collect.

McCain is behind in every swing state and only has a 10 point lead in his own state of Arizona. Time for the Republicans to bring on the fear and war mongering. That's their only chance.

Hillary and Barack--what a pair! Each purchasing the other's support with $$$$'s. These two devious characters will get their comeuppance on election day. I wish McCain would speak with more enthusiasm and give his supporters more reason to be enthusiastic. Barack has him bested by far with his flim-flam oratory. McCain has enough winning issues on which to beat the flip-flop, flim-flam artist but in conveying them to the American people, he's as dull as dishwater.

So when it's our guy, it's The Great Communicator. When it's the other party's guy, then it's "flim flam oratory". I sure hope no one misses the oratorical style of GWB. I know I won't

I'm a Republican supporter of Sen. Obama. For the first time ever I will be crossing party lines and voting for Obama. But in response to your comment, nah... I'm saying Obama will give Reagan a run for his money for the title of "The Great Communicator".
The only reason I'll miss GWB's orartory style is David Letterman will have to end his nightly installments of "Great Moments In Presidential Speaches" where he makes fun of Bush's stumbling, bumbling manner of speaking etc.

Obamaism is a fool Billery to | 5:42 p.m. June 27, 2008
How about this show that's going on between Hillary and Obama in, of all places how stupid do they think we are? in Unity, New Hampshire. How much energy did it take for both of them to fly to Unity, New Hampshire, for a photo-op? We all know this is a staged thing, anyway.They could have done it in Washington at a hotel room, the Eliot Spitzer hotel room at the Mayflower.They could have done it any number of places because somebody's going to get screwed in this deal. And look at this. You have Mrs. Clinton, who is in hock for millions, she cannot raise a plug nickel, and she's making a big deal out of telling her money machine to give money to Obama? You talk about a willing suspension of disbelief.So she's turned to Obama for help, and Obama has said that he will do what he can.She knows that everybody knows that she's standing there because she needs $10 million from this little rookie hick who wiped her out, took away her only chance.
Vote for McCain, your better off folk's.......

OK, maybe meeting in Unity, New Hampshire is a bit silly, but let's consider. Does Obama have anything Hillary wants? No question - money, which he collected legally. Does she have anything that HE wants? Absolutely - almost half of the Democratic primary voters. So both are served, the taxpayers aren't dinged in any way and WORST CASE both still have seats in the Senate.
Now, tell us. Just how and when did the McCains meet and marry? Could money have been a factor?
