I was swaying towards Obama; however, when I re-examine my feelings and where it came from, my vote is for Hillary. In a job interview, and that is what both of them is doing, trying to sell us into hiring them into the most important role of the President of the U.S.A., I need to examine what both of them say they can do, and WHAT EACH CAN ACTUALLY DELIVER. As in an interview, I can get inspired on the flowery words on what each can deliver ( I can get inspired by my preacher as well); however, I need to make my decision based on facts and what they have done prior to running a campaign where words can often be twisted. This decision is based on the experience of each and a record of getting things done. For this reason alone I would VOTE FOR HILLARY. Despite all the rhetorics, *** EXPERIENCE DOES COUNT !!!! ***

Angela, Toronto,

Doesn't anyone else beside myself find it anti-democratic that the Clinton dynasty is able to openly express its ability to pay for the Presidency--"a good investment" of her "own money," according to Hillary? Why is Hillary asking voters, especially older women like me living on tight budgets, to fund her campaign, when the Clintons' bank account has over $50 million and growing, with Bill's unreleased business deals and off-shore corporate shares? Obama's campaign is supported by small donations from hundreds of thousands of Americans who want something better for their country than what the Bush-Clinton-Bush dynasties have wrecked on us, and what Hillary now offers as "experience." Her track record in voting for the war, failed health care plan, enabling Bill's sex addiction and more, give older feminists like us no confidence in her candidacy.

Doesn't anybody find it extremely sad to think that the two democratic candidates need to run through so much money? I get daily e-mails from Barack's campaign begging for money. I admit he is way more aggressive than all the others which has given him this big surge. However as in comparison look how far Huck and McCain have come with considerably less cash. I am very conflicted about all this excessive spending. Frankly I do not see Barack as the next great president. I see him as a celebrity candidate, carefully orchestrated and helped considerably by the media with very strong appeal to tug at the feelings of those that listen to him which frankly as little to do with solving problems. I am not interested in generalities. I want to specifically hear what he intends to do about the 10 top issues and how he intends to get the job done. His appeal is beginning to disturb me as being very cult like.

Susan, Mondovi, USA

This is all rhetoric! It's like watching the emperor walk out in his new clothes. Senator Obama is not the most qualified candidate. Poetry and politics are two very different things.

Kevin, Washington, DC

The media is so prejudice, they just hate to talk up Obama, always looking for a reason to tear him down..This should have nothing to do with race, this guy is brillant, and we definitely needs change..

Edna, Milwaukee, USA

I also support Hillaary Clinton, she is very smart, well read, has lots of experience, care, and insight on what this country needs right now. Yes, USA needs a change. With either candidates it will be a change for sure. I hope they work together how ever the outcome may be. I like Obama and his ideas to bring this conutry together but lets be real. How much control will Congress give him. remember his is an African American man, things will loook good and sound good if he wins but in due time he will be swayed. And we the people will not know who he is Once Congress get a hold of him.

Yvette, St. Louis County, Missouri

It is a close race between Obama and Clinton with the final decision likely being made by a group of elites called 'Super Delegates'. What does this mean? It means that the voting public don't get to decide on the Democratic nomination; a closed door meeting of Congressmen and businessmen (aka, the American Bilder-burgers) get to decide. And who do you think they'll choose? Hmm, possibly Mr & Mrs Bilderburg themselves, of course. More evidence that the American 'democratic' system is a farce and that Presidents are not chosen by voters, but by power-pushers and string-pullers. What a great model for the rest of the world to emulate!

Simon Peter, Godalming, uk

I support Hillary in her effort to bring the Democrates view of what the United States should be. I would support either canidate for the presidency but like Mrs. Clinton's proposal for Health care---it's about time! Mr. Obama's health care doesn't seem to help me. We're insured and the cost is eating us alive!
Both canidates need lots of money to run for president. It's too bad but a fact of life unless people tell their representives in Congress to change the laws to public financing.

Linda, Hillsboro, OR, USA

I am an African American male. I am voting for Barack Obama not because he is black, but because he is the only candidate left standing that has management skils and the guts to be honest about the good, the bad, and the ugly that the world now faces. ( I didnt support Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton when they ran. Those two are opportunists who care for no one but themselves.) Everyone speaks of the economic boom of the Clinton years, but no one seems to remember that Al Gore, at the behest of President Clinton was cutting secret trade deals with the Chinese behind our nation's back. Fast forward to the present and lo and behold about 4 trillion of our 9 trillion dollar debt is owed to the Chinese. I respect Hillary as a candidate but it is time to break the Bush/Clinton dynasties and move in a totally new direction. If she wins and serves two terms then what ? Jeb Bush? then Chelsea? No!!! Its time to move on.

E C, Chesapeake, USA/VA

President McCain, VP Huckabee, Sec Treas. Romney - now THERE'S a dream ticket.

GO GO GOP!

Marlboro Man, Lincoln, England

We need someone in the White House that is sharp fresh and can converse with people from all walks of life, and not just a hand picked few.Certainly that is not Hillary Clinton. Please no more Clintons

Barbara Holmes, Salem, , NJ

GW wrote: "Obama will never win the election against McCain so folks might as well go with the winner now before its too late."

Really? All the polls show the opposite. Hillary loses to McCain and Obama beats him. If you want to "go with the winner", Obama is the one to back.

Lisa, New York,

This is democracry at work. It is truly inspiring that someone from outside the Washington elite, without the support of lobby groups and billionaires may become the next president with a campaign funded by ordinary Americans. God blass America and good luck OBAMA.

Mark, Epping, Essex

I don'[t think Obama is our Savior as most obama supporters claim. He has no knowledge of what to do if he gets elected. Do we want another Bush who knew nothing about running a country. All he did was be a Governor of Texas and a cheerleader. He can become great but not at our expense right now. Just because you have charisma and can draw a crowd does not mean that you've got what it takes to run a country. I don't believe obama is quite yet ready to be president. I think the Republicans are trying very hard to convince people that he'll be the best shot so that they don'th ave to run against Clinton. Republicans know the country is not ready for an African American leader of the greatest country in the world. Not to say anything bad about obama being A.A but I think the Republicans will spin this out and whites will not vote for him and again we'll be under the control of the Republicans. I think we're so caught up on this obama thing that people haven't thought it

A. Jerry, O.City, Oklahoma

I contributed a small amount, along with many others for this campaign surge!

And acc. to the Politico only 3% of Obama supporters have given the maximum allowed individual donation of $2300. Half of Hillary's budget has been given at that max. level.

I think this says a LOT about where support is coming from.

If the national Democratic leadership finds their way to backing Hillary when it comes time to announce the nomination, we'll know our votes and the loud statement the people are making with their dollars are meaningless and the whole this is rigged.

I think we're leaving them no choice.

YES. WE. CAN!!

Elizabeth, Wilmington, DE

Bill Clinton never made more than 40,000 US before becoming president. Now he gets 1M a speech. After, of course spending eight years lying to us and selling us out to terrorism. If Hillary gets elected, It will prove to me that you get the president you derserve!

J Jones, Mich, US

On Super Tuesday I donated to Hillary Clinton. I am not a weathy donor. I support her bid for the presidency based on her position on issues. When she announced she invested her own money into her campaign I donated more. I am a middle class woman who supports Hillary as I feel her Presidency will be the best chance that America has right now to have an improved economy for the middle class, better access to health care and a better response to international issues. I find it interesting that the news connected Hillarys announcement to increased donations to Obama when in reality it caused an immediate increase in donations to Hillary.

Kelly , Schoharie, New York

I think Obama changing things in D.C. is as ludicrus Hillary representing any big corporate conglomerate.
Change is a buzz word, that is certain, but there is only so much change either would be able to make. Obama makes great speaches, that is evident, but substantively he stumbles over his words. Hillary is not as great giving speaches and yet has complete command of herself when she talks about issues.
America could win or lose with either candidate, that is the fact, US hangs by a thread,regrets G.W. Bush, a lot of you, the majority, sent him to the WH twice.I was part of that electorate who knew better from the 2000 primaries.We heard"Al Gore was too boring, America wanted a guy they could have a drink with" and what they got was a reason to drink and no friend of the common man, I don't think he'd make it out of the bar alive where I drink at. Hillary 2008 might be Al Gore 2000, but i'd take that kind of bore over any of this image/speach/drink with me candidate, we need help

Cray Morrison, pismo beach, ca

Obama will never win the election against McCain so folks might as well go with the winner now before its too late. Make your vote count on the person who has the best ability to actually beat McCain and that's HILLARY CLINTON! Wasting a vote on Obama would be such a shame.

GW, Upper Marlboro, MD

Just let your people here to know that Hillary will have the money she needed from us. Senator Obama is a good talker only .He may able to let people get excited . Hillary is THE ONE
who can get job done.

Juan, Chapel Hill , NC

The Hillary campaign is stale in comparison to Barack Obama. Let us keep working and hoping to elect this man!! PH of VA

Peggy, McLean, VA

Hillary is great!! Hands down people need to get off her for Bill's mistake. She shows that women can do anything when faced with a challenge. She has proven her self time and time again. I look up to her and when I have a little girl I will feel proud to tell her a u.s president at one time was a woman. Vote vote vote!! Obama is not ready and doesn't have the experience that you need. He will spend atleast three years just trying to learn the job.

Elisa, Atlanta, Ga

I totally support Hillary Clinton for President. I would perfer Senator John Edwards as a Vice Presidential pick but have to agree that a Clinton/Obama ticket would be unstoppable. You go Hillary you got my vote!

M A Freeby, E. Stroudsburg, USA

good heavens, folks, what we have for once in the U.S. is a race that resembles the best in a democracy...an actual race fed by spinning but importantly by ideas. Both Hillary and Obama should stay in...we need this debate. And while Edwards forced them to be more specific, the campaign will, too. This is an election of character, too, and the I think the most civil will win...look how things turned against Hillary when Bill and Hillary got nasty in South Carolina... They both want a united Democratic party, and they are both bright enough one hopes to keep that in mind. But this campaign is good for the Democratic party and good for the country, although the pundits disagree. Rarely in my 60 plus years have I seen such vital signs in our ailing country..

stephen Petty, santa rosa, California

Hillary, is an outstanding candidate, take the time to read about what she has done from high school , college, to now. She has devoted most of her life to public work, because she turly believes making the world better . The fact that she has reached this level is because of her hard work and efforts not because she was given a break because she is a woman.

Sure she does not speak like a preacher, and sure she is not general about what she speaks, because as a woman, she had to proof what she can do & not be a cheerleader.
Remember that it was the clintons who broke a 12 year republican hold & inherited a large defecit. The middle class grew and poverty decreased in this nation. So why all the hate towards Hillary, because as my 97 year old mother says, most do not want women to succeed. In a way we are all brain washed that a women is second to men. I admire Hillary, & I wonder why Obama has the most absentee voting record then the-other candidates. GO HILLARY!!!!!

marsela, san pedro, ca.

If Hilary digs so deep into her own pocket, does not that says a volume about why she is sharing tears, fighting, and attacking to win. Winning at all cost means the presidency is going to benefit her not the American people. She was there for eight years, do Americans want to see Bill Clinton in the White House with Monica L. again?

Give Obama a chance. You will never regret it. The man has the stuff we need in the world today.

Jesse Kally-Williams, Pratigau, Switzerland

Ever since reading Obama's two books (and I can recommend them!) I am convinced that for the first time in a long time America has a chance to vote for a President who shirks politics and has an instinctive feel and genuine belief to do what is right in any given situation for the good of not only America, but the world at large! On the other hand you have a candidate (Hillary) who is so obviously "fake" and will do anything to get her's and Bill's hands on Power! It seems to me that, apart from the hispanic community (which may or may not have a racial motive for not supporting Obama) the only reason Hillary may still have a chance to get elected is because of a bunch of dumb middle aged women who above all else want to see a Woman at the Helm!

graham, Esher, surrey, uk

I was surprised (suspicious, too) to hear Hillary say her campaign was short on money. If in fact , that is true. They have probably "sucked dry" all of their elite donors OR "something in the milk is not clean!" I do not TRUST the Billaries!!!!!!!
Maybe it's a sign on the wall. Get out Hillary while you can. It is a TIME FOR REAL CHANGE!

BJ of Atlanta, GA

BJof Atlanta, Atlanta, USA/GA

According to news reports on this side of the pond, Hillary has received $4 million from internet funding as well, indicating that her campaign is very much alive and well. With the latest development that Romney is out and thus McCain is unbeatable as the Republican candidate, this gives yet more impetus to Hillary: who would win the race - Obama or Clinton? The old saying comes to mind - better the devil you know . . .

David Cunard, Los Angeles, United States

My prediction, not my wish, is that Hillery will be voted in as President.
Why? The liberal Dems. want the Clinton years back and
the women want her as President.

If not I will be back next Nov. to eat crow.

Jerry Scroggin, Phoenix, Arizona/USA

It is not unimaginable that Obama have money coming from our enemies outside the US or maybe even from the Republicans who know that McCain have a better chance against Obama than Hilary.

leo, uc, Ca./USA

Obama has to continue to press the need for getting America to move into a new direction. Hilary represents the democratic form of government in the worst way: pander to the rich and the corporate contributions all the time saying she is a champion for the poor, downplay the individual contributions flooding into Obama's campaign by borrowing money from herself to re-inject some life into her diminishing return and when all else fails, make sure a camera is rolling so she can tear up saying she is doing this because she really, really loves this country and it's just soooo hard to sit by and not be the one running the country. Her ideas are just sooooo good that NO ONE else should be in charge.

Time for you Hilary to take a break, go back to the Senate, represent your new "home" state.

Cody, Lansing, usa michigan

When I hear Obama speak I really do get a sense of his coming from the same place as the many young Americans I talk to in chat rooms. Obama is the only person on the campaign trail to be focusing on positive change rather than divisive mudslinging.
Obama's campaign has been funded entirely by hopeful young Americans daring to dream of a fairer less divisive world than the one we inhabit. Even old cynics like me are beginning to hope.
God blass America and good luck Obama.

Mark, Epping, Essex

Hillary Clinton is desperate, desperate to win, 5 Million of your own money says she is desperate to win, the question is why?. Romney 35 Million to try and win a Job paying 200.000 per year People of the World who would waste 5 Million of their own money to win a Job paying 200'000 per year no one let alone 35 Million to earn 200'000, and call them self economic wiz kids, not even Bill Gates would do it. These people have hidden agendas, none of it is to benefit the public or the world. Because when you spend that kind of money you want a return on your investments. Hence I would not vote for none of the two of them, because in a time of Recession it can not make any sense. If they had that kind of disposable income, how much of it have they given to the poor, the homeless, Romney & Clinton are Oppertunist who have no intentions of doing any thing except line their own pockets. They do a bit but no where near enough to make that change that Obama is talking about. Its a Sell out!.

Daphne Kenward, Cambridge, United Kingdom

I am from India and have no voting rights in USA. But should I have it, then I would definitely vote for OBAMA, no doubt about it. I second Raymond Kibbs comment, had there been a UNIVERSAL POLL then undoubtedly Obama is the WINNER.

I think its right time Hillary accepts her defeat and leave the scene, without polarising the democratic party any further.

Srini, Herndon, USA

George Bush with General Petreaus injected the surge with more troops in Iraq. Obama at a crucial stage in the presedential campaign has injected an even better surge, no one is giving this guy the credit he deserves, Obama has taken the world by storm and is much more than the people's candidate in America... Given a chance most people in Europe, Africa & Asia would vote for him to be President of the USA. I strongly believe that Obama will make history and become president of the "most powerful country in the world!"

Raymond Kibbs, London,

The Clintons are a sham. Hillary "believe(s) in this campaign" which equates as, "I am the status quo, I will not be put off-course even if I have to pay for my meaningless ramblings to be broadcast to the nation myself". The sooner the lip-servants of big business are buried and done for the sooner the world might wake-up to the fact that capitalism and corporate politics are a literal and highly dangerous dead end for the people of the world and the environment. Come on Obama! Shake your thing and throw off the shackles of the ruling elite for the whole of humanity. The time for change is a small window of opportunity which if missed will mean subjugation to the Bush/Clinto dream of a proto-facist New World Order

Guy Stevens, Zurich, Switzerland

Obama is truely the people's candidate. If you doubt that: Consider that he has refused lobbyist and special interest money and that he is not trying to fuel his campaign or buy the election by using his own money. His financial support is coming directly from the American people. Can any of the remaining candidates (Democrat or Republican) affirm that claim?
