There was a very persuasive discussion hosted Jan 9 by the Heritage Foundation suggesting that the surge might actually be working. If that’s true, it would be compounding tragedy to leave too soon, but it would require a peace-keeping force in Iraq for many years. So then — you love irony — only Obama could persuade the country to “stay the course.” The people know, or will come to believe during this campaign, that Obama goes to the heart of any matter and tells the truth.

I am the same way and have mountain biked and hiked on lots of trails in HI, IL, and MO, and WI and there are some scary people hanging out in parks doing all sorts of things from sex in cars, smoking pot, illegal hunting, walking around with shotguns, dumping trash, supsicious characters in vans, I have seen it all. We need more policing of what goes on in these parks to make it less of a safe haven for these crazy people. At least a frequent drive through by the police would be helpful.

I am also curious as to why no one questions him about his membership in a church that excludes other races??? Oh I forgot he is a liberal and there is a giant double standard. Jack,

I think people just went in there and voted their hearts out, hence the results. Now, you find out that all the media is trying to do is, explain this voting phenomina too. Guys, it does not work like that when it comes to humans. I have never trusted these polls, its rather unfortunate that the media is not allowing people to vote from thier hearts but always try to force the peole to believe their analysis and expect people to vote accordingly. I think what they should do is come and give thier analysis without trying to drive their agenda and I believe its going to be much better. After all, you just dont creat a sample of people and think it will always represent the majority of peoples ideas. One other thing, why is everybody calling Obama black, I just dont get it, this guy is half white and half black. Or maybe anytime some other color mixes with white it is not capable of being white but black. why dont we call him a molato which is how people with mixed races are called instead of labeling him to be black that is not right. What I am trying to say is we have to get beyond this race thing because it is not going to help anybody. I think the guy is identifying with every body because he seems to be above the race thing, so blacks must stop thinking this one of their own, and so must whites also stop thinking this is one their own and rather listen to peolpe and see what they have to offer. America, lets grow up. I do not thing people in New hampshire had a meeting and decided to vote for Hillary like the media decides to drive the agenda.

I believe history would look back and say this was the victory for a couple that managed a gain an “extended-stay” in the White House. I thought we had a term limits! A victory for Mrs. Clinton would only be a victory for an aggressively ambitious couple, and not a win for the first female President! Many women will come and I wait for that historical day! I really can’t see how they can claim a victory for women when she is running on the coat tails of her husband, respectfully she has some merits of her own but I believe people (men and women) think, “Well, At least He's There”, clearly not a solid victory for women.

I get sick of her when things are not going well for Senator Clinton politically, she uses her favorite trump-card that seems to work wonders for her. THE GENDER-CARD. -What makes matters worse is that pundits like David Gergen, Chris Mathews, Wolfe Blitzer, Karl Bernstein , Norah O’Donnell and you Ed all come together for Hillary's sympathy. To make this case that "ALL OF THE BOYS ARE GETTING ROUGH WITH HILLARY!" IT'S ELECTABILITY-STUPID!! NOT GENDER STUPID!!! As long as you have a candidate that half the country would not vote for, and people in her party don't think that she's an agent for change, thinking that some how will get a democrat in the Whitehouse if she were to become the nominee is "FALSE HOPE". To think that a candidate with ties to special interest groups with defense contractors can get us out of Iraq is "FALSE HOPE" To think that a candidate, with ties to special interest groups with pharmaceutical companies, can reform health-care is "FALSE HOPE" To think that America can unite again with a candidate that is more interested in the family dynasty than the country itself is "FALSE HOPE" If anyone that has been given a free pass by the media is no one other than Hillary Rodham Clinton herself. I just hope that you Jack, David Gergen and Chris Mathews would at least challenge Clinton on Electability instead of challenging Obama or Edwards on Gender. It's Iraq Stupid, It's Health-Care- Stupid, It's Corporate Greed Stupid, It's Electability Stupid! Dear Jack

It is a shame that America would vote for Hilary for president. Look where Hilary's 30 years has gotten us. She neither had the conviction or the courage to stand up against the war. Look what Bill Clinton did to the poor with his social progams and the welfare to work program. Mothers who should be at home raising their babies have to work, sometimes two jobs. Look how Bill Clinton slaughtered the Black people of Somalia. Hilary lied on Obama the other night in the debates, trying to start a feud between Obama and Edwards. Then later Bill knowing and willfully lied about Obama and Iraq. The Clintons are the lowest of the lowest and would do anything to win. Our Black children will spit on the graves of all the house negroes supporting the Clintons. Everyday I pray they don't assassinate Obama, for they will do anything to win.
