Maybe Obama and Clinton should make a deal for the presidential election. The Democrats might defeat the Republicans, but America's current leading party has already decided who will run for the White House, while the Democrats seem divided. They seem to lack a really charismatic leader. The Bush Administration is facing a hard last year in Washington D.C. Irak and the economy have become pressing matters. Could the Democrats really fix that situation? Since I am Argentine and do not live in the U.S., I might argue it is not a business I should mind about. But the recent rumours about a financial collapse from Wall Street also shook Buenos Aires stock market.

God doesn't like ugly. Barack ran a principled campaign. He never got down in the gutter, and, in the end the voters rewarded him. Even when the media beat him to the ground, he rose like a Phoenix.

Obama has ethics and dignity. Clinton doesn't. She feels she is entitled to the presidency and will do anything to achieve her goal to win--even if it devides the democratic party. If not Obama then McCain.

North Carolina blacks voted 97% for Obama. No surprise....it is such a sad commentary that black separatism has been fostered by Obama, Wright, etc. and that black voters are acting like sheep.
Obama cannot win the November election.....he is amoral, devisive, deceptive, and totally in love with himself.
Clinton vs. Mc Cain...neither will sell us out....us being Americans who outnumber all separatists because we adhere to e pluribus unum!!!

Sorry, Hillary Clinton fans. It's over. Even if she squeaks it out in Indiana she is just too far behind Obama now. He gained back everything he lost in Pennsylvania with the votes in Indiana and North Carolina.
It is time to get behind the nominee. It is time to work out a fair arrangement for the delegates in Michigan and Florida. Obama gets the undecided votes in Michigan, since he wasn't on the ballot there - and both states have their delegates count as half a vote. Even if you counted Michigan and Florida as full votes, Obama would have a 114 delegate lead in pledged delegates. That is insurmountable.
It is over. Let's support Barrack Obama and win back the White House.

this is just sad. im not american but looking at the posts here it just shows that most of you are really the self-absorbed people that everyone who has worked with you says you are.
get this straight-
1. america was a superpower. now it's a dwindling nut.
2. african americans make up a significant population in your country. have you considered that they may all boycott the ballots? so what do you want to be, all hyped up about saving babies in vietnam when you can't even look beyond colour in your own america?
3. instead of looking at race, why doesn't anybody look at gender? clinton is female, so why have the women of the country defected? why aren't all the women rallying behind her if she deserves so much empathy and sympathy?
4. you americans have got important issues to resolve. i'm sorry but didn't you read your own news? aren't people getting retrenched? aren't you having trouble with your loans? you sure you don't need a change? do you really think that all your problems will just go away if you don't pay gas tax for the summer?
gosh. and just so you know the american reputation is going down the drain. if you don't need change, i dont know what else you need. so please- WAKE UP TO YOUR IDEAS.

Hooray for Obama!! Give it up Clinton!!
Despite the ugly reverations from the Rev. Wright debacle, Barack has shown his "full metal" and his unwavering strength by bouncing back with a huge victory in North Carolina. The close contest in Indiana actually helps Obama to "seal the deal" for the Democratic nomination.

Congratulations to Hillary for not getting blown out in Indiana like she was in North Carolina. What happened to all that help from Rush and the rest of the right wing freak show? Why didn't they show up? Better luck in 2012.

Dear SA:
So black people voted for a black candidate, and that's why Barack won NC. So what? You say this as if white people have never voted for a white candidate because he's white and would never dream of doing something so "underhanded". Talk about great moments in revisionist history!
Don't you know that voters vote in blocks? Women are a voting block, hispanics are a voting block, religious people are a voting block, and yes, blacks are a voting block. That's why politicians court these groups when they're campaigning. They understand that when these people vote as one, their influence is extremely powerful and can sway the outcome of an election.
Really, it's not some black liberationist conspiracy that Rev. Wright cooked up. It's simple politics and it's been in existence since blacks and women won the constitutional right to vote. Without it, we would never have gotten female senators or black supreme court justices. We would still have a government that was one sex and one race, and we're beyond that now. So please stop whining about how "unfair" you think this is, especially since the ability to vote in blocks to affect political change is what brought about the civil rights and womens rights we now enjoy as a society.
