Pennsylvania voters, fellow Americans, please consider getting on board with us in backing Senator Obama! It is time that we patriots all joined together behind this wonderful candidate who is NOT aligned with corporate special interests! Donations come from individuals; all of us have some industry we are tied to. When he takes contributions from the people, there are NO FAVORS REQUIRED from him like with the other candidates.

These corporate special interests that control American politics don't stand a chance against us because Obama is the ONLY candidate that has built the ONLY weapon that can be effective against the corprate money/influence. The weapon that I speak of is the 1.3+ million individual donors and more importantly individual voter database! Help grow that database even more and be a part of the calvary that frees America's politics from those corporate groups that Clinton and McCain are publicly and politically aligned with!

We are the ones we have been waiting for, sound the charge!

Everytime I hear the words "bitter" or "elitist" brought up, I have to chuckle. Clinton is using Karl Rove's Swiftboat Strategy Guide, and some of you people are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

If all it takes is a TRUE statement, taken out of context and repeated ad nauseum by her supporters, to influence your vote next week, then by all means, vote for Clinton.

If the REAL issues matter, if ending the war matters, if breaking the cycle of lobbyist influence matters, if defeating McCain matters, then vote for Obama.

Just by reading this person's letter one can easily tell that this country is so filled with hate(!!) that I don't envy the next president! This writer takes bits and pieces of information and spins it to suit his needs in a mean spirited attack which is filled with downright lies just as Karl Rove would do. Just another Fox News puppet whinning away!

Obama is so far to the left he make McGovern look like a conservative. A vote for Obama is a vote for liberal, socialism, very high taxes, and freebies to all those that don't work and you folks better wake up to that fact. That is the change he is talking about.

Sure, the corporate media treats Obama like a rock star, especially Charlie Gibson and ABC. I was thrilled to see that in the midst of a five year debacle in Iraq, a health care crisis, the mess in our financial markets, record foreclosures, and a looming recession, that we were treated to debate questions about flag lapel pins, and things Obama acquaintances did when he was eight years old, not to mention the stale rehash of his preacher. The level of discourse has dropped to a new low in this country. It's embarrassing.

There is no free lunch people. Obama is promising the proverbial free lunch. His platform is no different than one of those Nigerian lottery scam emails. Those who are fooled into voting for him by his empty rhetoric will soon find their bank accounts emptied due to the higher taxes THAT WILL BE REQUIRED to feed the all consuming entitlement programs.

ABC's performance last evening was terrible - no wonder the sheeple have no idea what's going on with government in our country.

For all the reasons you listed, shows that Obama would not stand a chance against McCain with the republican pr machine. No matter if he is or is not the better democratic candidate, you need not look further than the Kerry campaign when it came to republican pr machine, at the very least the Clinton's can play ball with the republicans, handicapped maybe but at least they can stand on the field, Obama, we might as well fore go the Election and institute Bush the 3rd, I mean McCain.

Why don't you tell us how McCain is going to pay for the "free lunch" to corporate America when he lowers their tax rates and looses 100 billion dollars? How about his permanent tax cuts for the rich? Or the loss of revenue from his appeal of the alternate minimum tax? Or the war which is costing billions per week? Why don't you go find some answers and get back to me about how he intends to replace all that lost revenue when we have an historically high deficit, okay?

We're screwed all the way around Elitist Bob. Pick the lesser of all of the standing evils...We never get what we want in a POTUS and we of course certainly do not get what we need either... It is our job to make sure that the roadblcoks of congress and the Seante stay in place to prevent madness from getting too far out of hand. However, even those supposedly counterbalancing forces are out to lunch of late...

I feel good with NONE of the choices for POTUS, I will have to go with which one disturbs me the least... In my case, it will have to be the one who comes the closest to fiscally conservative ideals, militarily conservative ideals, and moderately social ideals. That leaves out two candidates for sure...

How do you tell that to a useful idiot who can be charmed to jump off a cliff by eloquent speech before realizing that gravity is not a theory...and it is most definitely not an option waiting to be influenced by political blather.

Now that the great give away hopeful Obama, a senator, whose salary is $157.102. a year and last year he earned 4.2 million of course that's filing jointly with wife, who did contribute less than he made. OH YA, I know he feels the pain of all of those bitter, gun toting small town folks. You know the ones he is going to help by raising their taxes so that he can dish it out to all of those freeloader welfare people, the ones that have never held down a real job.

As for Elitist Bob, this sitting President has saved me over $2,500. in taxes a year, which allows me spend more money of some of the things I like to do with out having to work. Stop worrying about corporate America and start trying to better yourself. In other words get a better job or work harder at the one you have, that is if you have one, but which ever, stop sniveling.

Leftist Bob - The solution is to implement policies which will promote a growing economy. Taxing to death the producers (i.e. the corporations you decry and people with higher incomes a.k.a. the envied rich ) simply to transfer money to the non producers (i.e. entitlement recipients) will do NOTHING to grow the economy and in fact will stifle economic activity.

I would like to think that the American public has wised up to the Swiftboating Rovenomics of the GOP and will see right through it.

After watching the debate last night, I'm not so sure....but if they do, then Obama should rout McCain. Won't even be close. I think the GOP is scared to death of going against Obama. They want Hillary bad because they know exactly how to go after her.

Another ignorant wingnut who has no idea what's happening in the economy or financial markets. You'd better start worrying about corporate America if you have any investments. The government just used your tax dollars to bail out Bear Stearns, and they may not be the last. I do just fine, thanks for caring. But unlike you, I can look beyond the security of my own finances and see the bigger economic picture. So really, go to Bloomburg or another financial website and educate yourself. And I hate to tell you, the puny 2500 you save in taxes will easily be eaten up by skyrocketing energy and food costs.$2500 BFD.

I didn't think you would know how McCain expects to pay for all this, he doesn't either. Bush's tax cuts have done nothing. We're entering a recession, and his record of jobs growth is the worst since Hoover. Somehow I don't think rewarding corporations that take jobs out of this country with a big tax cut will accomplish anything.
