Walter Scordino: So your saying that tring to get to the bottom the the coruption is a bad thing. For all we know he did buy the seat. But I bet you are part of the Chicago Political Machine.
Madge Voice: Well since middle eastern oil and whores from Europe and Asia control our media except for FOX news, I would say over all it is a negative.
Erica Bottaro: First, we don't know that Obama will get the nomination. Don't count Hillary out. She will do what she has to do to get what she wants.Second, I don't think McCain will necessarily continue all of Bush's policies. If anything, McCain seems to have a need to be liked or approved by the other side, so if he's elected, I think you'll see him "reaching across the aisle" in a way that will drive Republicans and conservatives crazy with frustration.Some people will never accept a black president, but I believe that such people are in the minority. So, if Obama gets the nomination, I think he has an excellent cha! nce of being elected. (Personally, I think his race is irrelevant. I just don't support his policies.)...Show more
James Langmyer: Definitely negatively. The television media can pretty much manipulate anything that they want to get their hands into, and with the general public believing everything they see and watch on TV, they will agree on anything. We will definitely be a better nation if only all of us will take the time to think and rationalize things than to just feed our brains with the junk that we choose to watch.
Oscar Wieland: They absolutley have an effect. First of all Obama was portrayed much more nicely and got more coverage so that helped him. And his overall charm and charisma play into how people looked at him as a candidate. I think these effects can be both positive and negative because a lot of news channels are biased in one direction. If the debates were on the radio I do not believe you would recieve the full effect.
Rickey Vrieze:! They are going to seat Burris in the Senate. The whole deal ! is about Reid's ego. This is what our representatives waste our time on.
Joesph Smithmyer: Burris is qualified and it was done legally. Reid is just another politician..nothing more, nothing less. They all have to play their games or they wouldn't be in congress. I guess you don't realize that though.Elect your favorite poodle next time..
Joellen Zorrilla: No, if Obama wins the nomination then Clinton will shut up. Then the truth about McCain and his mental problems and temper issues will come out. They will replay him swearing at fellow senators til the cows come home. They will also constantly remind us how he's more than happy to continue Bush's failing policies when there is no reason to be at war in Iraq. See, the democrats are going to start explaining that we know where Bin Laden is, we just can't get him because Bush needs him to stay alive. Because most Bush and war supporters believe Bin Laden is from Iraq. He's not. Neither is the rest of Al Q! aida. They are from Saudi Arabia. We're at war with the wrong d*mn country. Neither Obama or Clinton are BFF's with the Saudi Oil people who are getting richer the more we wage war. They invested in our defense programs right before 9/11. Convenient, huh?...Show more
Frank Crummell: Reid is a racist.
Wally Gower: Of course it is about ego. Reid can't block the seating of Burris unless he can prove that Blago sold him the spot.
Andre Winegar: It is ridiculous but it is not about Reid's ego. It is more about his stupidity and disloyalty. If this had happened to a GOP governor with a GOP majority, there would have been no question of seating the senator. Heck, Harry let Ted Stevens wander around the Senate after he was convicted, and he was a felon.This was a poliltical smear brought by the same GOP shill prosecutor who gave you the Plame Whitewash and the George Ryan delay. Patrick Fitzgerald announced the charge in December, timed to discredit Obam! a, and the Democrats. Then he asked for a 90 day extension to file the! indictment. Reid, the moron fell for it. What happened to the innocent until proven guilty? Where's the money or bribe trail? What did Rod get? Who was he talking to?Alberto Gonzales resigned as Attorney General in the attorney firing scandal. The scandal was that the DOJ was firing GOP appointed prosecutors who refused to bring politically motivated and timed meritless cases against Democratic opponents. If all the prosecutors who refused to bring the bogus cases were fired, who is left? Yeah, that's right!If Harry Reid couldn't see this for what it is from a mile away, he needs to resign. The GOP tied up Clinton for most of his presidency with all these baseless charges, Obama needs to fire all the federal prosecutors on day one. He could hire the ones that Alberto fired if he wants honest ones.
Moises Rupinski: Yeah. I think what will happen is Obama's lack of experience, and his Nafta issue, his holier than campaign that isnt, his brother in law making! sexiest remarks he will pay for that he needs alot of groups and cant afford to alinate them and also He cant win big states like Ohio,Flordia,Texas and New York and in the end he needs those states. The Democractic party needs to look at that. I hope McCain does not win bc he is a hot head he wants to bomb Iran as a prementive strike and is an *** to reporters and is liente on immigration and more than willing to let the depression go on for longer, keep us in Iraq, and doesnt care about NAFTA or health care for ppl....Show more
May Stands: need to be in and out of there as soon as possible cuz I need to get to The Office. Maybe I should camp out and enforce the dress code. What do you think?
Seema Hosfeld: It may be true. Not because he is black but because he doesn't show his experience on his resume. If for the better black person , I would vote for Colin Powell. He is much better than Obama with the experience. I wonder he have the chance to the McCain's! vice-president candidate.
Willa Holte: i say be there at 6 or 6:! 30 am I think the polls will be packed!!!
Donnell Mollo: I dont think it necessarily is the issue that America is not ready for a black President. I think if Obama gets the nomination, he wont be able to defeat McCain in the general election. He wont be tough enough to handle what the Republicans will throw at him. Many Clinton supporters have already stated they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination, and lets face it, thats a large percentage of the Democratic votes at this point. If Obama gets the nomination, McCain will be our President....Show more
Derick Kinnard: big waste of time,wait till you see what a huge waste of time obama will be..
Percy Seiger: everyone but fox news bashed the republicans.
Marcelina Schossow: I think that television and basic news sources showed extreme biasness toward Obama during the election. To answer your question about switching from television to radio, I do actually think that would be a better idea ! since people wouldn't be able to judge character by just how well a person look behind the camera, but by what they're actually saying.
Dorine Nurre: I think it should be solely on the radio, putting it on TV, even though people don't realize it, they are drawn to a person's appearance and the persona they put off, that you can't pick up on, on the radio. Then no one could say about McCain's age and Obama's race.
Libby Berkovitch: reporters are merely ACTORS... they love drama!!
Shamika Schools: I don't think anyone can say McCain will win nor do I believe it has anything to do with whether we're ready for a black President (the white votes he was getting 2 weeks+ ago seems to say we are ready),It comes down to what the public really knows about him beyond speeches and campaign promises. Obama does a nice job handling the press - and by that I mean he keeps them away from him. He speaks only when he's trying to deliver a message, not when they have questio! ns. In doing that, he isn't sinking himself by revealing anything. Unfo! rtunately, some of his campaign staffers have recently hurt him and in order to play damage control he's had to make a few more unplanned press appearances which caused other unwanted questions to be asked (aka Rezko issue and all the links to Iraq, corrupt billionaires and other unfavorable characters that come with that).Him walking out on the press when they lunge at him for answers is a perfect example of something that could likely sink him if he's nominated and, I believe, it will sink him. To think the GOP side doesn't have a file of dirt on him would be naive and amateurish. They do have dirt, and if he’s nominated he'll be in the crosshairs of some major controversy which is exactly what they want â€" a popular, respected candidate of “change†who has yet to have his past scrutinized or exposed like McCain or Clinton have.It will get ugly and perhaps more importantly, how do you fight back or deflect it when you've promised a different kind of politics? He's ! having trouble doing that now and his tactic has primarily been trying to spin it toward Clinton by saying she's attempting to cause drama or playing dirty even though most of the controversy he's faced, which has been very mild so far, has been self-inflicted â€" by his own staff speaking to people or his own past blunders. That plan isn't working. He's slipping in polls (he was +9 in head-to-head against McCain, he's now +1 with Clinton +2 according to NewsWeek) and support for him is arguably faltering meanwhile more and more questions from voters and press are stacking up unanswered. His campaign is a time bomb in desperate need of a quick nomination.I know many Obama supporters would disagree with this but I don’t have a candidate I’m supporting so my view is pretty unbiased. To support my thoughts I’d point to opposing the FL results as proof of how he knows the clock is ticking against him at the moment. Why not include the current Florida vote which was forced! upon the state by GOP leaders and tacked onto needed legislation? His ! answer: “he was unknown thenâ€. Wha? This was just over a month ago! He did countless televised debates including a CNN debate the week prior, he ran a national ad campaign that was seen in Florida and received tons of national press prior to that primary. You couldn’t turn on the news and not hear about him or see him making a speech. It’s just kind of sad that someone who positions themselves the way he does would snub the month-old opinion of those voters and want a “do over†because of how he placed back then but I guess that says a lot about how new his politics are.Imagine a Florida revote where he wins on the 2nd attempt. What message does that send to people who did not vote for him the first time around? Will they vote in the general election if he's nominated? It's a can of worms and more fuel for the GOP to use.So to summarize; it's not a fair prediction that McCain will win but it's a highly probable prediction....Show more
Jacinta Moitoso: YES,! I am a democrat that voted for Hillary in our state primary but I WILL NOT vote for obama. McCain will get my vote and the other 5 members of my family as well. Obama has no experience. He just talks a good game.
Germaine Tieken: Have to wonder why Blago was not impeached a while ago.
Lino Cawthorne: Yes and noFOX NEWS = Negative -The Rest = Positive +
Rubye Bonnin: If America is not ready for a Black President, when do you think we will be ready? They have been in this country for well over 200 yrs., They have served in every war since & including the Revolution. They have earned the right to become President of this country! I, however, do not plan to vote for Obama! Not because he is Black, but I just happen to like Clinton better! If it were Colin Powell, I would vote for him any day of the week!
Boyce Gilhooly: You will learn that it has very little to do with Reid's ego and everything to do with covering up involvement in it. They are all! involved, and Rod just has decided that he isn't going down for this o! ne alone.. Yes, he is a criminal...but so are people like Harry Reid. Mousy as he may appear, he is a con man too.
Maurice Breuning: for John McCain it was a bad thing. The poor man was criticized by all the news stations just as much as he tried to mud slap Obama. Although the fake Fox News was almost worshiping him during the course of the election. for Obama, most stations were critical about him. MSNBC downright loved him. Most other stations like CNN and ABC took a slight favor in his views. Although once again, Fox News (Fixed Noise) portrayed him as a terrorist who wasn't an American and had a socialist mind that will destroy America. For most people, The news helped educate them on the candidates and helped them make an educated descision. For the Fox watching Conservatives that were so often misinformed, they voted for McCain. The after affects of Fox News are still seen today (most notably on here)....Show more
Shane Getler: I think the American! media is very biased in both directions. You have very liberal MSNBC, and then you have far right wing FOX. News reporting used to require some level of objectivity from the reporters but now it is based on their personal opinion, agendas, and propaganda. Having presidential elections limited exclusively to radio would not work in today's media climate. Americans have grown to become more visual oriented readers. You don't get the same effects of sincerity, body language, and charts/maps on the radio. We have to see it to believe it....Show more
Dick Baumgarten: Consider that this song is from the early 80's, what has changed...(Bator/James)Video games train the kids for war. Army chic in high-fashionStores. Law and order's done their job.

Felicitas Phildor: No, but if Hillary Clinton is the nominee from the Democratic Party, McCain will win in November.
Stanton Degregorio: Both. It is a venue that can reach a large amount of people with ease but the theatrics used are f***in' killing us as a nation.
Dana Russian: America is not ready yet for a black president I think....so if Obama gets the Democratic nomination....the people will vote McCain for president, continueing the Bush philiosofy and drving us into a depression, the likes we have not seen since the 30tish......
Vince Delarge: Hey, let's sit back and watch this! I'm totally enjoying this drama! Barack Obama said Blago should resign and he shouldn't pick a senator. What happens? The totally opposite happens, the one thing Obama didn't want to happen! First Obama was saying Blago should go now he says this Burris matter is a senate matter totally dodging the issue. I hope some reporter asks Obama if Burris should become a senator. Obama is not getting his way and I"m enjoying this drama! Long live Blago hope he continues to be Governor of Illinois for a long time! I'm enjoying the Blago show! We're behind Blago all the way, gov! ernor!
Sol Allphin: No. Obama has a much better chance at beating! McCain than Hilary does.
Lionel Tanen: Considering the behavior of someone like Chris Matthews, I would have to say we are headed downhill.
Jorge Gerrero: Time to tell every lower house rep and a third of the senate to take one last look around and...L E A V E _ _ I T ! ! !Am I serious about that? Yes! "Leave It!"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZV8MPxxgkE
