As a longtime Democrat and a woman, I have been disgusted by the Corporate Media coverage of this primary campaign. The coverage of Hillary has been a sewer of sexism, race-baiting, smears, and lies. Remember, this is the same Media that gave us the Bush Presidency and the Iraq War. Hillary Clinton is the toughest, smartest, and most knowledgeable candidate I have ever seen. Watch her in the debate. Listen to her plans. Hear her ability to connect, and then wade with me through this sewer of media coverage and nominate the next President of the United States.

I support Barack Obama because he has developed an incredible organization from ground up for fundraising in small denominations that never stops giving. He doesn't have to depend on corporate donations. He has the majority of the popular vote, as well as delegates. Young people have turned out in record numbers. They "got it" well before us parents did. Obama can teach us how to deal with issues like race by treating us as adults, as we heard in his speech last month. We can be a part of history and elect Barack Obama the President! Yes we can!

America needs a leader who makes wise decisions such as being against the Iraq war. Obama inspires the youth which hopefully can clean up the mess we left them. We don't need another bureaucrat with a padded resume. Obama will talk with leaders of other nations rather than putting them on a blacklist. We don't need another bureaucrat who won't negotiate with a country 90 miles off our shores. The labor movement wants to get rid of blacklists and negotiate with other leaders. I'm in the working class and I support Obama.

The recent ousting of Mark Penn is indicative of Senator Clinton's entire campaign: it is characterized by factionalism, infighting, negativity, and ineffectiveness. By contrast, Senator Obama's campaign has been energetic, positive, innovative, and effective. For someone supposedly "lacking experience" Obama has, by all accounts, run an incredibly disciplined campaign. Clinton, meanwhile, is mired in debt and an ongoing controversy over the veracity of her statements. Obama has claimed that he wants to change American politics. 200 million in online contributions, a minimum of negativity, and a strong outsider performance against the old-guard democratic "machine" should show that he is doing so already.

I very much like both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as Presidential candidates and would like them both elected, one after the other. My preference would be Clinton first, then Obama because I believe Obama would be the more effective Senator in terms of "Change". It is doubtful that he would run for the Senate after being President, so we would lose him too soon. And I think Clinton just might be the stronger of the two in ending our Iraq involvement within the next eight years.

I am voting for Hillary Clinton. I know where she has been. She has been in public life all her life. I like where she is going. Her plans for the country are much more defined than her opponents. She is a committed person. I admire her resolve to see this campaign through to the end.

As much as I admire Barack Obama's idealistic attitude toward the presidency, Hillary Clinton having lived the experience knows what is possible.

What concerns me most is a candidate's logic. Wanting the federal government to bail out homeownrs in the same manner as the "feds" protected Bear Stearns is a fallacy, arguing fro the particular to the general, a hasty generalization. Mrs. Clinton's mistakes are embellishments whereas her logic is indisputable. She knows that staying in the primary race prevents Obama from winning enough delegates so stay she will.

Mrs. Clinton, you have more support than you know.

I am 72 years old, a Democratic chairwoman and have been involved in politics since 1957. I have listened to Obama and Hillary and my vote will go to Hillary because when she talks about change she tells you exactly how she will change things. Obama talks a lot about change, but does not go into any real detail of how he will change things. She also has more experience on how to handle Presidential decisions from being in the White House when Bill was President. GO HILLARY!!!

When Eisenhower was running for president, I was a member of "The Young Republicans." We went out to the airport and put "I like Ike" stickers on cars. In later years I became a "Naffilated." Now I'm for Barack Obama. He had me from the "get go" with his obvious sincerity, cool demeanor, and heart for humanity.
