#4 I am a black person and find that hard to beleive. I am not voting for Senator Obama. He is not ready to be president. Anyone who votes for him is fooling themselves. I have watch all of the debates and he truly lacks substance. Alson, he is not the uniter that he claims to be and I hope the American people see this for themseleves.

#5 I really find this hard to believe? Senator Clinton has my vote; and I am a black person. He does not need me since only black people are voting for him. People, Senator Obama is pretending, he is not the uniter that he is trying to portray.

#6 Here's "WTF" Jineng whoever....If Obama gets in the way of these scoundrels, he's likely to meet the fate of dozens of others who have run afoul of them. I wouldn't put anything past the Clintons, nothing at all.

#7 Jacqueline, perhaps you are correct, however, Senator McCain could be the worst choice of all, and he is ahead in his party. Apparently, the right person with proven cridentials to be president of the US cannot break through the media's hold on public opinion.
Hillary Clinton is a socialist. If that's what you want, Jacqueline, then she's your girl.
Go Obama, go Romney. At least the bitter, vindictive people should lose first.

#9 Up 'til now, my prediction has been that Obama might outperform Hillary in the primaries, but Hilolary would win by dominating among the unelected "superdelegates" (office holders, party hacks, and such who get to go to the convention automatically) because the Clintons play a better game of inside baseball. With the Kennedys going for Obama, I'm not so sure anymore. I don't quite agree with Peggy Noonan (last Friday's column) that Ted is "courageous" or "patriotic" or capable of thinking of anything other than his own narrow self interest. However, unless the party insiders are all going to turn on the Clintons, backing Obama is a risky move--and a little out of character.

#10 I'm coming to the conclusion that this is nothing more than Kabuki Theatre.

#11 Article from yesterday cc Comrade Clinton.
Obama hows now advertised twice during football games - very low brow and insulting. hilarity's dangerous rhetoric or b.o.'s empty soothsaying. Makes my choice easier minus the senior mcclaim factor.

Oh, and then there is Ralphie.

#12 I thought Fox said there would be no political ads accepted for Super Bowl

#13 LOTP, I thought the same thing when I saw that commercial run. Everyone looked at me like I was nuts... I'll be curious to see if it becomes and issue and/or what Fox's explanation is.

#14 It was a regional ad buy in Super-de-Duper Tuesday states, not from Fox but from particular TV stations. People in other states saw something else--in the Cleveland media market, we got ads for the University of Akron, but not Obama.

#15 Still a cheeky move by slim shady. Still in the era of Change and New Politics clintoon did promise not to campaign in Florida and did so anyways. If ya got holes in your pockets change does you no good.

#16 It all reminds me of the bad, old days with JFK and LBJ. ABC News even had a piece on it last week...all about the various surviving Kennedys making their endorsements and speculating that Obama and Clinton would end up on the same ticket one way or the other. When they showed an old picture of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson campaigning together I thought I was gonna throw up. There was the handsome, young, charismatic leader with his treacherous old sidekick and the fate that awaited them. I really don't want to go through all that again but I don't want to vote for McCain either. I'm afraid we're in for some rough sledding.

#17 this is nothing more than Kabuki Theatre
Final act: "experienced" Hillary for pres, "young idealist about to receive on the job training for the top slot" Obambi for vp. w/curtain call for McCain (Bob Dole v.08)as the hapless opponent.
