Not True..

Clinton constantly raised the alarm about al Qaeda; but was constantly thwarted by the GOP for 'Wagging The Dog'.

What is the "Clinton dynasty" exactly? Bill ignored foreign policy issues allowing al Qaeda to grow in places like Afghanistan, rode the wave of a strong economy (which started before Clinton was elected), and disgraced the White House with his sexual antics. Hillary . . . got elected in NY. So?

This whole campaign is filled with lies and deceit. Give it up! All this rage is just smothering you in publicity. America knows how this is going to turn out. All people with common sense will be disappointed and most likely stop voting because one vote never counts in America anymore :(

I have voted for the Republicians since 1968. Except last election when I wrote in Mickey Mouse as I did not like either of the people the two parties put up. This year I will be voting for Obama! If Hillary was the one on top, or if he had choosen her as VP Mickey would get my vote again.

Mike, Spartanburg, USA

Bill and Hillary Clinton are sociopathically narcissistic and political spoilers. One can only pray that the American electorate flushes out the Clinton toxin.

Mandy, New York, USA

The Clinton's know what I know, what everybody knows, and what the media dare not talk about: their political survival depends on Obama loosing the election. The only way that Hillary can become president in 2012. For the Clinton's the goal is to accomplish that without seeming to be involved.

I'm an African-American who will proudly cast my first vote for ... John McCain. I cannot vote for Senator Obama just because we have the same skin colour.

Hillary said she did not want to go through the vetting process unless she was to be picked. Imagine if the other VP contenders had all said this. Her arrogance is astonishing.

Christina, GA, USA

Regardless of what happens, Obama is a winner. The worst thing that will happen if he loses, is he will go back to Michelle and his daughters. I would take that over leading an ugly country any day.

Experience is not what always count for good presidency. If so president Bush second presidency would have been a lot better for Americans.

It is also vision and leadership. Obama has those presidential qualities for good presidency.

Hillary makes Caligula look like a pansy.

John, Clifden, Ireland

If Hillary can pull this trick off, I will nominate her for an Oscar. At least she will have earned it, rather than the buffoon Al Gore. As they say to do this right will be like tight rope walking with two broken ankles and a bottle of booz inside. It shold be real show !

Hillary missed over 32% of her votes in the current congress. Surely, she too would be fired by "normal" business. Barely more impressive than someone who is labeled "NOT IMPRESSIVE" will not cut it. It is a non-argument. Typically, for close votes on party-important matters they fly back to DC.

Mark , New York, USA

Most accurate article I have seen so far on the Clintons and the Clintonites. Lanny Davis and the ususal pack attack principles will attempt to return in four years. Maybe after losing that one, they might realize the fact that America has moved beyond them.

Mayes, San Diego, US

I too, as a Democrat, would have chosen John McCain for President, but only if Ms. Clinton been where Obama is now.
This country needs a break from Clinton/Bush reign.
Obama will be A President, unlike the current vacationer. Hillary's "camp" needs to get over their ego.

Dean, Harpers Ferry, USA

The Clintons serve to keep the party wedded to outmoded center-right positions. Clinton made the mistake of failing to see that the American people have moved to the left in the wake of a wasteful war. Democratic voters only wonder if Obama will make the same error. Bait and switch?

Joel, Oakland, USA

i really tried to find a reason to vote for obama. but as election comes near all i see are empty words. he talks a lot but can show nothing for it. biggest mistake he made is selecting biden "the old establishment" guy for vice president. that goes against all that obama has tried to present.

rommel, los angeles,

Obama might be smart and sane but he certainly cannot do a job - 40% not voting while in the Senate. Now that is NOT impressive! Just think, in 3 years Obama did not bother to make a decision 40% of the time. In normal business world he would be fired.

Nona, New York City, USA

As I watched smug Joe Biden, sanctimonious Jimmy Carter and physically courageous but dyingTeddy Kennedy last night, I wished I could see in split-screen the smoldering anger of the Clinton Camp. "So you think you've vanquished our dynasty?" I imagine they felt, "well we will just see about that!"

Bruce, Kentucky, USA

Thank You Joanne from Toledo. And there are millions more like you, who choose to live in the present and who care about the future generations and the legacy we will be leaving them. Barack Obama will assure a strong positive legacy. John McCain cannot and will not! I too will be voting for Obama!

Jimmy C, Letchworth, UK

Dave said, "Now it's up to the American people to recognize in him a great leader." How can you tell, Dave? He's done hardly anything in his life. I won't vote for a rookie afraid of a roll call vote. Women in both parties would have voted in the first woman with the experience to lead the country.

Loris Carbone, Pawtucket, Rhode Island, USA

Obama blew it. The fact that he didn't even vet Hillary for VP, and has moved to the so called "middle" and turned his back on the liberal wing of the party seems to have sealed the deal. Looks like four more years of "W"

Bill Giesin, Louisville, Kentucky, USA

Without Clinton Obama will be history very soon. If they could have sorted out their differences they would have made a great team but Obama on his own, forget it. Most of Clintons supporters will vote for McCain and that will be Obamas downfall. Too late now boyo, you've blown it.

Mike, alicante, spain

Blackmail is a lousy reason to pick a VP.
Obama had guts to sideline the Clinton camp. That is where he has truly broken with the past.

Now it's up to the American people to recognize in him a great leader.

David, Amsterdam, Netherlands

I voted for Hillary, I won't vote for Obama, and I have a real problem with McCains positions and policys. So who is the Green party candiate that is about to get my vote???

chuck, Schaumburg, IL, USA

Hillary is bitter and will stop at nothing to serve her own self interests.

Matt, Bangkok, Thailand

I think that Obama would have much better off taking Hilery as Vice Pres. candidate. Biden did not fair well on the campaign trail and will not help in the final count. As a registered independant, I am open to almost anything but 4 more years like the last 4. Lets hope for a valid alternative

Jerry, Portland, USA

i myself wouldbe voting for mcCain if i were an american citizen. i believe that an experienced person should be what the world needs as an american president esppecially during these most troubled times.
mr. obama has a lot of things to learn bfore claiming to solve the world's problems .

Amada Bas, Marikina city ,metromanila, Philippines

The Clintons will be proved right: Obama will not be elected in November. But Hillary also would not have been elected in November. Neither Hillary nor Obama is up to being president of the United States. The Democrats live inside a paper bag, and it is about to go pop.

Roberta Henry, Bournemouth, UK

if obama ever had a chance of winning it was to put clinton as the vice, and he has not, this will be his downfall and will result in him loosing the race. silly mistake abama. You've alienated allot of democrats and turned them to McCain.

David, morpeth, newcastle

Ambition is truly the word for the Clintons. I voted for Bill but not Hillary. She has shown herself to be a mirror image of all that is wrong with him. No more Clinton psychodramas. Obama is smart and sane and this is one older white woman that resents the press saying I have to be for Hillary.
