This letter is to explain why I am not supporting Senator Barack Obama and am fully supporting Senator Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. Senator Obama often repeats that he is the candidate for change but what has he done to work for change? Why are most of his political endorsements coming from Washington insiders? This is something to be considered. In addition, he appears to mimic the candidacy of Senator Clinton in spirit but not with substance. Clearly he has not thought the issues through and perhaps {it was thought} given more time and experience, he would emerge as a fine statesperson. But all that has changed since the recent revelations of his twenty-year relationship with Pastor Jeremiah Wright. It is very troubling to realize the influence Wright has had on Obama when it comes to the pastor's anti-American racist beliefs. Any reasonable person would have discontinued this relationship if they did not concur with these views. Senator Obama will only add to the racial divide in this country. Furthermore, his latest comments about the "bitter small-town Pennsylvanians" are in fact "elitist,” “demeaning” and “out of touch”. These are things the Democratic Party I knew never stood for. Consequently, at this most crucial moment in history, our country cannot afford to gamble again with someone who is simply not prepared to take on the enormous responsibilities of Commander-In-Chief. On the other hand, Senator Clinton has spent her whole life working for change. Change that has improved the quality of life for all Americans by focusing on fairness. She truly cares about our country. Given the current state of our economy, she may very well represent the last chance for this country to avoid social catastrophe. Her lengthy public-service experience has more than prepared her for the presidency. It is the very reason why the greedy powers-that-be are so opposed to her candidacy. It is why some of her primary opponent's donors are part of this opposition. Frankly, those supporting the status quo have never felt so threatened. For this election is a clear choice between those who have never had it so good and those of us who know we can do better. Senator Clinton knows we can do better and her track record reflects that. On Tuesday, May 20, Kentucky needs to support Senator Hillary Clinton for President and help get our country back on track.

While I truly have the utmost respect for your opinion regarding our two Democratic candidates, I must disagree with your statements about Rev. Wright. While many disagree with his rhetoric, should Obama be criticized for his relationship with this man? How many of us have friends who, at times, make off-the-wall comments that we vehemently disagree with? Are we to shut these friends out of our lives because we don't share the same perspective on every issue? To go even further, if you have a religious leader, do you agree with every word that comes from his or her mouth?

Yes, you must. A good politician never puts friendship above winning. If someone makes a slip or an off the wall comment, there is only one place for them, under the bus. If you can't throw aside mere friends, what kind of President will you be? Senator Clinton has shown repeatedly that no one can get in the way of her winning. Everyone is expendable. if necessary, her husband probably would be, too. It's harsh but that is winning politics! Vote for Hillary!

I chose Hillary, over Obama, she's fighting for the middle class and the poor, Obama, only relates to the upper class, and rich. Hillary, is getting a bad rap from the press, and media. Obama, is a unknown, yet people are voting for him, and the LOBBYISTS are funding his campaign. Obama, is trying to pull a fast one over the American public, and people are sitting back and letting it happen.
hillaryspeaksforme.com, < great videos here, you can even up-load your own. See Hillary & her many supporters, on the campaign trail, and her many endorsements.
hillaryclinton.com. taylormarsh.com. noquarterusa.net. hillaryclintonforum.net.
All pro-Hillary blogs, where you can learn the truth about this election, have great converstaions with Hillary supporters from all over the world.
GO HILLARY GO, GO TEAM HILLARY GO, WE CAN WIN THIS, YES WE WILL. ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!! DON'T LET THE MEDIA, PICK YOUR PRESIDENT.

Pro-Hillary blogs teach us the "truth about this election"? Why do I feel a little doubtful? Actually, we need to choose Obama over McCain rather than Clinton over Obama. We need change in the WHite House. We DON'T need the White House to become a "Waffle" House as it would be if we elect Senator McCain (see his flip-flops on NAFTA, tax cuts during wartime, the environment, Iran policy, etc.). We need a President Obama and Kentucky can start to take the first steps in that direction.

We need a nominee who can avoid getting "swift-boated" and Senator Obama is the one. When President Bush in Israel and Senator McCain tried to "tag team" him with an "appeasement" charge, he shot back instantly and effectively.
McCain can hardly criticize Obama's call for talks with Iran when he has openly called for talks with Hamas, which he refers to as "a government that we are going to have to make a deal with."
Senator Obama is tough enough (Thanks, Hillary!) to deal with and defeat the GOP attack machine. And the American voters are wise enough not to repeat the same mistakes of the last 8 years!

Obama won most of the early states when he was the new candidate. He gave great speaches and said what everybody wanted to hear.
After listening to him repeatedly, watching the debates and reading his website, I have come to the conclusion that he is little more than slick packaging and a "nice suit".
He has not won any of the debates. The ABC debate may not have been completely fair for the first half, but he was still overwhelmed by Hillary in the second half when talking policy.
I agree with other posters that he is not going to change washington when he owes his candidacy to the support of the super-delegate insiders.
The voters from the past several states; OH, PA, WV, TX have begun to realize this. I only hope that the party big-wigs realize it too before August.

Two problems with this, almost three: North Carolina and Oregon (and very nearly Indiana)
