I like Obama he looks good for the white house i wish him good luck.

MB, Harare, zimbabwe

Why can't everyone see what I see this is a setup! in the end if Obama wins! America has just handed over power to Rep. when prez election time is here. All the press will turn it's ugly head and try to serve up Obama on a platter. This is a show right now,but wait until next november when it becomes real. We will face another 4 years of Rep.; America still has issues with Race there is no way no how US will have a black pres. and all of you who voted for Obama will have wasted your votes. this is what the REP. want. an Obama win! better to go against a rookie black guy than a experience white woman. Mccain and Hillary can go toe to toe but with Obama all he has is eloquent words and manner no experience. the press will chew it, eat it, spit it out and bury it. Hillary has a better chance of going toe to toe with Mccain.

I think this campaign has done so much in highligting how much a Hilary Clinton presidency would have lacked substance. She wasted time trying to bring Obama down telling the electorate that he was unqualified and inexprience, instead of persuasively convincing the American people as to WHY she will be good leader. I would have said this months ago but this has shown how timid, weak and easily threatened she is as a leader - her campaign completely derailed by a man who hardly know.

Obama has been criticised as being all words and promise and no experience. While this is fairly scary, America needs a promise of hope. Depression and uncertainity has been looming over every sphere of society.
It is also unfair to draw comparisons with Bush 8 years ago because the problem with Bush was he sarrounded himself with to many opportunists and unbalanced advisors.

I think Obama sober and sound. With the right balance of advisors he will make a very great leader.

if America`s democracy is to be repositioned, Obama should be in the white hause

Dave, Washington, DC,

A choice between a politician who said " that was a mistake , or words to that effect , referring to his house purchase" or a plastic performing woman I would vote for the polician who is man enough to say"I made a mistake" I neither like or dislike either candidate but judging by their words and actions ,Mrs Clinton would not get my vote,she comes over as quietly vicious under that plastic smile.

The debate should not be about the black nominee or the woman nominee, it should be about who is the best nominee. May the best PERSON win.

garry Jewell, Doncaster, uk

I personaly think that Hilery Clinton SHOULD BE the next President of America not Obama,he will only only look after black Americans. He IS A JOKE.

Michael, wirral, uk

So basically, he wants to be on the winning side...

TE, Peterborough, UK

As a lifelong democrat I can only say - if Hillary and McCain would be left to choose from, I have no choice but to go for McCain.
As a woman I feel insulted by Hillary's begging female allures.
Winning at all costs - we had a good taste of such motivation the past 8 years -
not again. Just another wolf in sheepskin....

I am a Republican and happily supporting John McCain, but there are several reasons for anyone to root for Barack Obama, regardless of party, and they explain some of his momentum. First, regardless of the winner, a McCain-Obama general election would probably be much more constructive substantively and in its tone. Second, Hillary Clinton has a fundamentally undemocratic streak that is scary: she too often implies that she does not remain entirely beholden to the people after the election in a way I have never observed in a major party nominee. Third, it is testament to what women have achieved in the U.S. that it is more important for Americans to show they will vote for an African-American presidential candidate than a female one. Finally, though I doubt former POW McCain loses to either Democrat, hell occasionally does freeze over -- and President Obama might actually be all right.

Jennifer, Phoenix,

Shame on you Hillary Clinton for making my daughter think grownup can women cry, ridicule, scream with finger wagging, threaten, gush, and whine all inside a week on the public stage.
Can't wait to see her reaction when (and if ) she has to release her White House records and income tax statements!

Jeannie, Mountain View, ca

The reason why Mr Obama is so popular is because those who support him all think they can influence him thus getting a piece of the action. He rhetoric encourages this state of mind and for this reason over a period of time his presidency could well turn out to be a biger disaster than that of George Bush

The best way for Hillary to grace this campaign - is to pack her bags and go back to Arkensas.

Phil, Hong Kong,

It seems that Hillarys true colors come out when she most needs to hide them.
Shame on you Hillary!!

Pam, Littleton, CO

Obama is best suited to heal this nation......whether it be the racial or the religious divides(Jews/Blacks. Hispanic/Blacks). My support for him is based on two assessments. Emotionally I believe him to be a trustworthy person of character, a speaker of truths, an "authentic" leader. Pragmatically, it seems obvious to me that he has "coattails" that will help Democratic candidates across the nation. Most, if not all, these candidates would delight to have him on the same speaker "stump". To effect the changes that he trumpets we will need big victories in the Senate & House and only Obama has that type of appeal. It is a damn shame that Bush leaves with a deepening recession looming, trillions more debt, record trade deficits......a tough job ahead. Obama can do the job.

dick hayes, walnut creek, California

I viewed H. Cllinton's "shame on you" and "call from the heaven" performances as well as Bill Clinton's "Jackson" remarks extremely non-presidential . it fact, these images erased all my previous respects to both of them, and i am sure many people who adored Clintpns would feel the same.

Dr. chung Lee, fremont,, califronia,

Nice they are flocking to Barack Obama.

Andre, Lauderhill, FL

Mr.Lewis and all the other politicans of color were looking for any excuse to either vote for or back Obama,;as did Ted Kennedy. When Clyburn and Kennedy came out with their "that's enough or chill" that gave the torn black community the go ahead to vote for Obama. And I never heard the people in the news community hold Michelle Obama's feet to the fire when she said on national television to Debra Roberts that she didn't think she could vote for Hillary because of her "tone".She did not have that opinion when Sen Clinton went to Illinois to campaign for Obama to get elected. Although they certainly insist that Sen Clinton play nice. She is one tough cookie,she has been made fun of for her laugh,her tone her shape,her hair etc etc. BUT no one can say one word about Obama or they're thought to be racist. It seems like everyone is apoligizing all the time. AND if you notice he copies everything she says and rephrases it to make it his own. If you want REAL elect Hillary.

Marian Russell, Kentwood, Mi

I love to see Barack Obama to lead. Amen

Rome is burning, Mrs. Clinton! "I don't see a hint of flames," she said calmly! Meanwhile her staff is immolating.
