Great win in SC Obama. You will get the wave to supertuesday.
This election revealed the racist nature of the Clinton’s. I am a Muslim, I am not sure how my life would be better in the US if Clinton is a winner while she is “accusing” Obama to be a “Muslim”. I want a person who accepts all the people irrespective of their skin color, gender, age. I wonder for all the Muslim American..how they felt about Hillary accusation!
For those who think Hillary will bring back the good time of Economy in the US, I say you are totally putting the wrong bet. Since when the second part of a successful movie is a good one! It never happened! And so Hillary would never be Bill? I am from CA, please everyone in CA and elsewhere for Super Tuesday…Vote for the right person who kept saying the same things and did not use the other party winning phrases JUST TO WIN?
Bill is Bill and Hillary is Hillary, please do not be overwhelmed by the Clinton title to bring the same results. Think of her with no Bill Clinton in the background. Remember Bill is no longer running for nomination!
I am a Democrat, however if Obama did not win the nominee I hope Hillary won’t too. It will be a disaster to see someone who is totally self centered and ready to do anything to win, even by lying and hurting all the Muslim feelings to win? I wonder what else is she saying or doing JUST TO WIN?
Go..Go Obama..you represent all of dreams, hopes that one day a person will be based on the kind of work he/she does not by how he/she looks. Whatever happens in this election..you are winner! You did not start the race thing and was very far from using it..you are really a winner!

'I want a person who accepts all the people irrespective of their skin color, gender, age. '

I notice you didn't include religion in that. How do you think he will treat us Kuffar'?

'..you represent all of dreams, hopes that one day a person will be based on the kind of work he/she does not by how he/she looks'

Well, considering he hasn't really done anything to earn himself the position of president of the United States and he is running against someone with 50 years of public service, I guess that means you will be voting for McCain then...eh?

Blacks voting for blacks....who could have predicted this happening?

I am from Illinois and this twad has done NOTHING here at all and people are acting as if he can do wonderful things.

He is all HYPE and nothing else.

He has instituted ZERO CHANGE here in Illinois so what do you morons think he can do at the national level?

If I hype a carrot long enough here and on TV will you idiots vote for the carrot?

Me thinks so.

Utterly disgraceful.
