I have supported Hillary Rodham Clinton since January. I support her message of experience and respect. Sadly both Obama and Clinton have made a fair share of mistakes during the campaign but Obama has made less of them and tonight the people spoke he has won more votes for some time now. Hillary Clinton needs to make some tough choices in the next few days.
This Past week CBS News did story Inside Barack Obama's "War Room" it was hosted by CBS News anchor Katie Couric it was to show alleged behind the scenes look at the Obama's Campaign the people that have made it so successful. I watched the report and it pretty good for a Network New Story but after the report was over I was left with a strange feeling and all of sudden it hit me All the Key Positions in Obama Campaign are Staffed by Whites (See it for Yourself). Watch the story it runs about 5:30mins. About 11 Staff People were featured in the store and all I saw were three Black Staffers and there were not in featured positions. Obama is getting 85% of the Black Vote in the US. Something just seem funny about this picture. I am not the only person that noticed it either Wanted: basically young and white, no black need apply. Location: Chicago. Job: help an African-American become President of United States. I cannot understand why the media has been so silent about the people working at Senator Obama headquarters. The people working at the headquarter do not represent the highest percentage of people that are voting for him. is a post from a CBS news viewer on it web site. To me this very much part of the Conversation on Race that Barack Obama wants America to Have.

Hillary Clinton wins by 10 points of Obama tonight. Hillary Clinton is on to something saying Obama is having trouble closing the deal.
If Hillary would have lost Pennsylvania Tonight or even won the primary by a point or two I would have said it time for her to pull out of the race but after tonight's landslide win I say Run Hillary Run!

Say it not so Obama, you said to the American People that you are a different kinda of Politician someone that you can believe in some the you place you hopes and dreams with.
Hope may spring eternal in the words of Barack Obama but the Politician Barack Obama sounds like he flip/flopping on NAFTA and that not what I saying. That facts are being reported in the Canadian Press Clinton didn't brief Canadian officials on NAFTA stand: PMO CBC which is like the BBC of Canada reports
Hillary Clinton's campaign team has never told any Canadian officials that their candidate's anti-NAFTA statements are just political posturing, the Prime Minister's Office said Friday.
In the midst of the so-called NAFTA-gate affair, the PMO clarified — two days after it was first asked a question about the matter — that Canadian officials never requested, nor received, a private briefing from Clinton's aides on her position on the continental trade treaty.
The Globe and Mail one of Canada's two national newspapers reports PMO: Officials only got briefing from Obama campaign
Mr. Obama had stinging criticism for the North American Free Trade Agreement while campaigning two weeks ago in Ohio. That rust belt state has lost thousands of jobs and the unions courted by Mr. Obama have blamed the trade pact for their job losses. Ms. Clinton was also unsparing in her criticism of NAFTA, stating flatly that the United States should withdraw from the agreement if it could not be renegotiated.
Suggestions of hypocrisy cost Mr. Obama critical votes in the Ohio and Texas primary — both of which were won by Ms. Clinton — and put a stop to his streak of a dozen straight primary wins.
The Associated Press obtained a Canadian government memo that suggested Austan Goolsbee, Mr. Obama's senior economic policy adviser, met Canadian diplomats the consulate in Chicago last month.
I am the kind of Voter who likes the facts a bit more then hope. I sticking with Hilary Clinton and maybe we should rethink how good a Democratic Candidate Barack Obama will be for the 2008 Presidential Election.
It has been hard for me to Support Hillary Clinton.
Many people I know and respect support Barack Obama but for me I have never connected with his hype message of Transformtive change.
I like to known where my candidate stands on the issues and with Hillary I know were she stands. There no "Trust Me" and everything will be alright look in her eyes.
Hillary Clinton knows the job of President of the United States of America will be a Tough One for anyone lucky enough to hold the position.
Hillary Clinton I hope you get the opportunity to represent the Democratic Party in this 2008 election.
Clinton started the race strong but she lost focus as people asked what I feel were two basic and important questions.
Did they want a women to be president women have tended to stick with Clinton even as men have been swept away by Obama, suggesting that the difference may lie more in women's affinity for Clinton and interest in a female candidate. as noted by Ruth Marcus of Washington Post. The secound question is most basic "I am I just tired of Hearing the name Clinton in the news each night. Myself I am not becuase I feel Hillary will get resluts if she holds the office of the President.
If I can make a closing note about Obama it appears even the press is starting realize the love fest needs to end The NBC comedy show on Feb. 23 opened with a mock debate where journalists were rough on Hillary Clinton while being starry-eyed about Obama and gloves need to come off this is not a beauty contest this is a campain for the leadership of American.
Photos from Seattle Labor Temple Democratic Precinct Caucus. It was a wonderful event were Democratic got together and talk about Two Great Candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton Barack Obama. I have never seen so many people in the Labor Temple talking about politics. It was great, Obama won big time because of his passionate supporters
It all happen rather quick, and email would like to lunch time show about the Iowa Caucus Results.
A radio producer calls me on the job and asks almost every questions I think of about the election in 10 min's. They ask if I committed to a Candidate, I tell the producer no but I like Hilary Clinton the best. I told to stay by the phone during my lunch break and next thing I am on the Air. The Host asks me the Lead Off Question. What did I think of the Out Come of the Caucus? I Respond the Obama has a lot to be proud of and I was surprised John Edwards did so well.
The two other guests spoke with passion about how Obama was activating the youth vote and the other about how she really wanted to Vote for a Democrat to hold office and the Edwards campaigned with passion. (The word Passion was used a lot)
The Host gave me a follow up question about Obama; Here I made best interview point.
The Obama reminds me of Gary Hart he is a big ideas and not much detail and that I feel Hilary has organization to run a national campaign.
I was able to make a closing comment and I chose say that I thought Bill Richardson would make a great President but he just does not have traction with the voters. I ended saying I wanted a free and fair election in the United States and thanked the host for inviting me. I had 3 mins of fame and it was fun.
