Nevadans are looking to put a Western stamp on the presidential campaign. In doing so, supporters from the Silver State might just help propel Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama into the national front-runner position.

I am finding reports from workers who say the Culinary Union Heads are snatching their registration cards from them if they are choosing Clinton.
Barack Hussein Obama will not enjoy a win for long if this is true. People will come out and talk as they leave their jobs etc for whatever reasons.
OBAMA IS A REAGAN PERSON. CLINTON08
remember the couple that brought us nafta, the couple that allowed allan greenspan to bring about these sub-prime predatory loans. hillary's a great woman but if elected we'll still have this great divide in our country. time to turn a new leaf.
Hillary said herself yesterday..
"I want to get back to where we were before President Bush became president, when the budget was balanced and the economy was running a surplus"
and in regards to Obama, Hillary said..
"My leading opponent the other day said he thought Republicans had the better ideas for the last 10 to 15 years," she said. "That's not how I remember the last 10 to 15 years.."
the choice is yours Nevada..
OBAMA DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE OUR PRESIDENT
Obama was AWOL from his Senate seat and did not vote a record 130 times!!! when it came time to '"change" America, some "agent for change" Obama is!
In Illinois Obama fixed his wife's salary doubling it to $365,000.00 a year while he was doing nothing for the people of Illinois.
Obama's supporters are rude, vicious people from what we have encountered steadily, obviously not deserving of their candidate winning anything let alone the White House.
Obama encourages his supporter's ill behavior like he did with his smear job "stand up" routine attack on Hillary at a high school yesterday. Why not ask Hillary those questions instead of a bunch of high school kids coward?
Obama has not paid his dues like Hillary has.
Obama's health care plan leaves millions of Americans out in the cold!!
Obama and his campaign workers constantly use bait and switch attacks on their fellow Democrats. Being sneaky and dishonest are hardly traits we need all over again for 4 - 8 more years like we've suffered through with Bush.
After Obama slanders Hillary he plays innocent and becomes Mr. Nice guy, and it's "let's all have a truce" when he was the one who instigated the whole thing! never mind a truce, how about an apology Mr. Arrogant!?
Obama has no experience compared to Hillary, only a Jr. Senator 2 short years to Hillary's 7 years, including her re-election.
Obama stooped to playing a false race card effectively dividing the Democrats, pitting Democrat against Democrat and Black against White, how does Obama expect to unite the whole country when his false race accusations have split his OWN party? Hillary was simply making a point that it takes team work between leaders like MLK and FDR to get work done, and she is right! because she knows from her experience how it's done! MLK Jr. even said "Hillary didn't mean anything against his father"
Obama is too young and inexperienced to be President, JFK had 14 years in the Congress and Senate before he ran, and Obama is no JFK, how arrogant a comparison is that?
Obama steals lines from MLK and JFK for his speeches in an attempt to dupe his zombie youth, clone army into thinking he is as great as MLK and JFK. Hey Obama, here's a clue! accomplish something first like MLK and JFK did! and be original, "I have a dream" ?? get your OWN line!
Obama is a "dreamer" Hillary is a "doer"
Voting for Obama just because he says he "has a dream" is like voting for Bush because you can "sit and have a beer with him"
Obama's second largest campaign contributer is Exelon Corp, the largest nuclear energy company in America, so much for the environment! We already have a President and Vice President tied to big energy screwing us and endangering our environment, we don't need another one!
Obama and his wife are both quite obviously a very materialistic pair, as evidenced by their lush lifestyle. Bill Clinton is right! Obama is the Establishment Candidate, just look at his 'health care plan' it only covers those who can afford it!
We already have a President we are trying to be rid of giving all our money away to foreigners, we don't need another one.
We already have a President we are trying to be rid of that bases his judgments on what "God tells him to do" and that helped cause Bush's Iraq war!! we don't need another one.
We already have a President we are trying to be rid of who refuses to hold people accountable who screw up when they work for him, we certainly don't need another one. Hillary on the other hand quickly fired several of her people when they stepped out of line, she does not mess around or cover people who step out.
Obama uses the "roll technique" in speeches used by preachers to brain wash their followers into believing anything they tell them! Cult leaders use this technique to brainwash their followers into "believing" too, beware!
Obama is very arrogant talking down to Hillary in his blatant disrespect for her being a woman, 15 years Obama's senior and First Lady for 8 years, how egotistical and arrogant!
Obama is disrespectful along with his snotty, clueless followers to Bill Clinton too thumbing their noses at Bill's incredible legacy and all the great things he has done for America and poor people all over the world.
Hillary is a great lady and ready to lead on day one, she already knows exactly what to do! and we need change NOW.
Hillary All the Way!!!
Hillary may be very qualified to be the President of the United States but if you check her approval rating along with how many people actually trust her, you'll find that her ability to pull the country together probably won't be any more effective than George W. Bush has been the last seven years.
Obama is offering a new change in direction. He doesn't come with the baggage from the 1990's and seems to have the ability to not only unite the Democrats but also is appealing to Independents and many Republicans. Even more important, he's bringing a large number of young people to the polls just when they need that "spark" and incentive to become active in making decisions that will directly affect their future and the future of their young children. We desperately need to leave the past behind us and move towards a new beginning with Obama leading the way.
Vote Obama for America!
how would women feel if obama had said that woodrow wilson was responsible for 19th amendment allowing women to vote, think they'd be mad and rightfully so. but remember it was hillary who inserted lbj into the civil rights act. as a life long democrat i have a hard time supporting anyone who brings up a drug past of someone. remember that great statement " i didn't inhale", at least we have some public officals who aren't afraid to admit to past mistakes.
The devil himself can descend in NV and vote for Hillary, He may even bring all his armies. All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
Bill Clinton may yell at reporters, he may even bark. All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
Marketer and political strategists may repackage Hillary Clinton and sell her to us; All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
All Clinton support can vote for her as long as they want; All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
Why?
Americans in the vast majority are people with a good judgment. They know and see what the Clintons are.
Go Hillary!! wooo hooo! Hillary is our girl!!! :D
4 more years of bill being president, no thank you, if women think hillary's going to call the shots, you're fantasizing. dlc and bill will run things, if you think average americans will benfit from same old folks, grow up.
The CORPORATE OWNED MEDIA promotes "hope" and "inevitability" - and the masses obey the corporate media masters.
You'd think people would wonder why the media has given Obama a pass - and promoted a 2 year senator as a rockstar capable of running the country on "hope" and "unity." ha!
Obama's scam won't bring change - because Obama can't even unite Senate Democrats!
People wake up! we'll always have a political divide. Obama can't change that.
The REAL problem is VAST influence of Washington lobbyists and the Corporate Welfare that Congress and the WH dole out - paid by U.S. taxpayers.
John Edwards is the only candidate speaking Truth to Power!! - and the reason the CORPORATE OWNED MEDIA has dismissed him.
The informed see through the CORPORATE MEDIA SCAM!
Go Edwards!
Obama's name surfaces in a Patrick Fitzgerald case. The Republicans will eat him for lunch with this kind of stuff. I am not am Obama supporter, but I am a Large D Democrat. Let's see how Obama handles this:
http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/ob...
patrck fitzgerald, what a joke, this guy couldn't find the truth in the valerie plame case, when all the general public knew what happened. just a republican shill who didn't do his job.
OBAMA'S POSITION ON YUCCA:
On April 18, 2002, the Illinois State Senate passed SR342 urging the U.S. Congress to support Bush on Yucca:
Illinois State Senate Resolution 342 "urges Congress to sustain President Bush's affirmative decision on Yucca Mountain's suitability as a permanent federal repository for high-level radioactive materials." [S.R. 342, 4/18/02]
Sen. Obama had the opportunity to speak out against the resolution but remained silent. From the State Senate transcript:
"Is there any discussion? Is there any discussion? If not, Senator Rauschenberger moves for the adoption of Senate Resolution 342. Those in favor say Aye. Opposed, Nay. The Ayes have it and the resolution was adopted." [Pg. 26, Illinois senate transcript, 4/18/02]
In contrast, when a similar resolution came before the U.S. Senate in July 2002, Hillary voted against the resolution and issued a press release underscoring her opposition.
Hillary like Reagan too. She list him as one of her favorite presidents. If you don't believe me, then check out her site: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/relea...
DO NOT VOTE FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. He is a fake, he is nothing more than a speech.
Pay attention people. His friend Tony Rezko is being indicted on fraud for an illegal land deal that he did with Barack Hussein Obama.
Obama is a master at words and has no action to back them up.
What I regret about these recent weeks of dirty politics, is that Barack Obama, through no fault of his own, has been painted, in lurid colors, by the Clinton's(cause let's face it, Bill is running with Hillary this time:)) into a person he is really not. It's obvious that many people didn't know about Obama before this election heated up.
I'm not trying to sway anyone's vote, because we are all going to vote the way according to our own reason. All these heated exchanges and bare naked attempts to appeal to each other's emotions for the benefit of our chosen candidate are not likely to change our minds. But with that said, and no matter if Hillary winds up destroying Barack, or if magically people wind up supporting him in wild numbers again, Barack Obama has honestly led a remarkable political life, and has largely worked toward helping the poor, fighting corporate power, and working to improve health care.
Now, you may be skeptical of that, given all the press coverage and rumors that have been floating around, but it really is true. Read Time Magazines article - http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/...
Time's article is clear and concise, but if you'd rather read just a listing of facts on Obama, read the Wikipedia Encyclopedia entry on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obam...
Barack has lived a fairly noble life, as far as politicians go. So I just don't think its fair the way the media, and the Clinton's are trying destroying his image. he's lead a good life, and honestly believes in the idea that our government would better if we'd minimize bipartisanship polarization. He's one of our better politicians, and even if he doesn't win, he's still going to keep fighting for the common good.
Obama for President 2008! Let's Support Honesty in the white house, not dirty clinton tricks.
Here's a question that Hillary Clinton's supporters cant answer. Why is it that so many high level politicians have given their backing to Obama.
Why is it that John Kerry, Senior Sen. Patrick Leahy, and even Ted Sorenson, President Kennedy's Special Counsel & Adviser, and primary speech writer-- the same guy who wrote "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country", all support and have endorsed Obama? Why is it that Al Gore is rumored to soon support Obama as well.
Do you think these seasoned political vets, with numerous years of experience under their belt, and with reputations to protect, would endorse Obama if they did not have good reason? Do you think they would just blindly choose Obama, without seriously scrutinizing his past and his record?
If you do, then you really need to turn off CNN and start reading more.
And why did these same figures not support Hillary. if Hillary is such a great candidate, such a great leader, if she is so about change, if she has so much experience, then why wouldn't they endorse her. Hasn't she been a US senator longer, and worked closely for longer with many of these people?
If you want to know why, then why not watch them explain in their own words. I think your eyes will be opened up -- http://youtube.com/watch?v=ReDCmk2c2g8
OBAMA IS A REAGAN SUPPORTER. IM VOTING FOR CLINTON.
IM VOTING AGAINST CLINTON AND HER POLITICS OF FEAR AND SUPPRESSION. I'M VOTING FOR OBAMA.
Clinton in to! She list Reagan as one of her favorite prez. See:http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=4674
"But no president can do it alone. She must break recent tradition, cast cronyism aside and fill her cabinet with the best people, not only the best Democrats, but the best Republicans as well.. We’re confident she will do that. Her list of favorite presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan - demonstrates how she thinks. As expected, Bill Clinton was also included on the aforementioned list."
Barack Obama is genuine. He is not calculating, pandering, or partisan in his politics like the Clintons. He also can answer a direct question. Something Hillary has a hard time doing. Obama is what we need right now in America; positive Change we can Believe in. SEE AND THINK: John F. Kennedy's Ted Sorensen's endorsement at http://youtube.com/watch?v=ReDCmk2c2g8

"Ronald Reagan of course died in 2004. And when he did, he was praised "for the way he personified the indomitable optimism of the American people", a statement issued by - you guessed it - Bill and Hillary Clinton. (Not that anyone should hold it against them, it was a eulogy after all.) Krugman decried Reagan's tax policies, but did have this to say: "Still, on both foreign and domestic policy Mr Reagan showed both some pragmatism and some sense of responsibility."
