It's been on the news everywhere. If you check the New York Times a few days back you can find the article, but I know that she said she'd support the democratic nominee no matter what.

Barack actually has publicly said that Clinton will win in West Virginia. So he's not campaigning as much as he will be in oregon.

Re: Hillary working for Obama....What she says and what she does may very well be 2 different things....

I think she may make a token appearance here and there, now and then, just to look loyal.....but I think she does not want BHO to win....she will spend her energies working to elect Congressional candidates so the Dems can keep their majority....and rack up points that she can call in next time....

No, I think BHO is unelectable....lots of reason I won't go into here.....

I think McCain will be a one term president..(his choice) ..and Hillary is already starting to get ready for 2012....

And as far as BHO's popularity....and all the crowds he draws....

Reminds me of the 50's when another young man who traveled the US, giving "inspirational" speeches, drawing large crowds, and raising lots of money, ....He had a lot of people convinced that he was some kind of hero and savior and walked on water also....
OK dude, get your facts straight before posting this stuff! Obama said 57 states, jokingly! Then went on to joke somemore about mentioning that "1" state comment. I watched this 3 times the other day, put a smile on my face when he said it.

About Nov election?

I thought at first McCain would take it, but now that Obama is really close to rapping this thing up, I have been seeing support for him like I never thought I would.

I am a Hotel manager here in a sub of Chicago, so you can imagine how many folks from other states I get in here on a daily bases.

A gentleman from Alabama was staying in my Hotel this past Friday, and during check-out I ask him who he thinks is going to take his state in Nov between Obama -McCain, and he said "No doubt Obama", said he never seen anything like the support Obama is getting in his state, and how many republicans he knows who are going to vote for him! Says he lived in Alabama for 30 years, never voted Dem but is actually undecided this election, and says he is def leaning more towards Obama.

This election year is going to be different, it's very possible Obama might not have to win Florida or Ohio to get the Presidency, a couple southern states would def help!

Az, I 50% agree. When you next state "everyone knows that both sides engage in bitter dirty politics" then I will agree. It's not just the conservatives or even right wing extremists that use "dirty politics"

Reality is a good premise, but there are some discrepancies.

Here are some interesting claims about Obama that may hurt him in the general against McCain.
