No! No! No! No! I am so sick of negative ads. And it looks so bad! Attack McCain, not each other. We need to be united! How can Hillary and Obama attacking each other be good for the Party? Or the country? No! No! No! No! No!

It should have been obvious to seasoned campaigners that Hillary would throw the kitchen sink at him. Clintons don't like to lose and will do whatever they have to when they need more votes. If Obama wants to be our president and take on hostile world leaders, then he needs to show me that he has the ability to handle the Clintons. If that means throwing a few elbows, then so be it.

Florida and Michigan should be silenced in keeping with the rules. This is wrong what some Whites will do to keep a Black man out of the Whitehouse.

Of all the Pundits on TV, your perception of the race to be the Democratic Nominee is the most non-partisan and well grounded of all. I love how you don't pull punches! I don't think Obama needs to get down and dirty like the Clinton's. I love how Hillary is whining about Obama being dirty just because he is asking for her tax returns and papers from her time as First Lady. You won't find dirtier politicians than the Clinton's. They will do whatever it takes to grab the power. I can guarantee, if you started looking into why Michigan and Florida are whining about their delegates not being seated, that you will find the Clinton campaign behind it. The facts are that those states were told there would be penalties if they held their primaries early and all the candidates signed off on it. If the people of Florida and Michigan want to hold someone responsible, then they should be looking at the people who signed off on holding the primaries early, not the DNC. THEY WERE FORWARNED!!!!!!! Keep up the great work Right on Jack!!

I just read on MSNBC the connections with Canada was not Obama, but Clinton. You should go to MSNBC to read it for yourself. How come CNN is not reporting about NAFTA and the Canadian Connection.

As a thirty year old Canadian, all I have know in any politcal campaign either here or in the States have been candidates negative ads at each other. For once, can we see a candidate that takes a postitive approach that promotes his/her position and leadership. Not the negative aspects of their opponent. After it's all said and done we end up having to choose the lesser of two evils....not better of two greats. It would be very refreshing if Obama doesn't go negative.

Why doesn't that team start with analyzing HRC 35 years of experience and ask this question: IN WHAT? Can "The situation room" take a fair look at the situation this country is now facing? If Obama goes negative that is all we will hear on your network...for days! Jack:

He has to realize that nice guys who are inspiring just do not get to be president. If this goes to the convention, the nominee will be chosen by old school politicians, and nothing will change. I think Obama is the most inspiring candidate since Bobby Kennedy, and I would hate to see him have to surrender any of that message because I think we are all yearning for a fundamental change in politics.
