- freetvonline, on 03/07/2008, -0/+11This is just incredible. The mainstream media had the story backwards, and the Clinton campaign knew it the whole time. And yet, Hillary used this false story to win Ohio. Even though she is the one selling out America on NAFTA the whole time. She has no shame.

- bomberger, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8It will all be over soon. When you try to put down the Clinton Monster, it will scream and kick and it won't be pretty, but it will go down.

- Greentomato, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4Wow, I thought politics was dirty. But it still gives me the heart burn to know that this firth was from a person that I actually considered voting for a couple of months ago.
- bitspace, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3It's good to see some of the MSM giving this air now, but day late/dollar short when it comes to Ohio. Conventional wisdom says that the smear campaign on the NAFTA issue is what hurt Obama the most in Ohio. This appeared on CNN's political ticker blog yesterday as well. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/06/cl ...
- mommacat, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3Clinton is an evil monster. This is not the first time she's used something bad that she did and then blamed obama, and i doubt it will be the last. Luckily, I dont think she has a chance no matter what monstrous schemes they dig up. I think she's toast and good riddence when they finally put the straight jacket on her and get her into a padded cell. It cant be soon enough
- my2greatgirls, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1When I decided to support Barack Obama back in December I still would have voted for Hillary in the general if she was the nominee. I no longer feel that way. I know politics can be ugly but the way she has run her campaign is disgusting. She is dishonest and dirty and if the Democratic leadership does not stand up and stop this non-sense I will leave the party and I am sure many others will too.
- Vote2008, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1Hillary makes Machiavelli look like a boyscout.
- dforty3, on 03/07/2008, -1/+1I don't even think this story or her crying really had a very big impact on many voters. I think there is election fraud at play and those are just excuses given to the people so they don't question it. There has been reported election fraud in the last several elections and the media just ignores it. How many people realize that people in Ohio are in in jail today for the election fraud they were caught in from the 2004 election? In the NY Primary last month, there was a district in Harlem that counted zero votes for Obama. This was a district that had about 10,000 voters that were mostly black. The Republicans aren't the only ones gaming the system. I've had this feeling that Obama was put into the race to dilute the Edwards support. If Obama wasn't in the race, I don't think Clinton would have been the front runner for a moment. And now it seems their plan is back firing on them as Obama is more likable and gaining more support than Hillary. But if Hillary somehow pulls this out, my gut feeling about this whole race will be reinforced.
- suebee88, on 03/09/2008, -0/+0Shame, shame, shame, Hillary! You've been a bad girl! And an absolute DISGRACE to the Democratic party. If you can't win fairly, you certainly don't deserve to win. Or, you can choose to continue this crap, and it will continue to come back to you. You know what they say, Karma is a BITCH.
- DJD4OBAMA, on 03/07/2008, -0/+0THANK YOU KEITH!!!!!!!!!!!
- sherijrich, on 03/07/2008, -0/+0After this past week with the Clinton antics- lies, racial attack (yes) and blatant support of GOP nominee McCain- I would never support Hillary Clinton under any circumstances. She is a disgrace to democrats, and to her gender.
- sbhojwan, on 03/07/2008, -0/+0I have no idea what to believe from contradictory stories...but I know I don't trust Hillary for a second and won't be surprised if the story is accurate. But CNN will not cover such a story, I wonder why? But thanks to MSNBC....for keeping it honest
- Obamakim, on 03/07/2008, -0/+0At the beginning of this presidential campaign I too felt that even if Barack Obama did not win the nomination I would still gladly vote for whom ever won. Senator Clinton is coming very close to losing this hard core Democrats' vote should she become the nominee.
- KynderEgg, on 03/07/2008, -0/+0CNN actually did cover it -- they just didn't put it on their front page.

Of course you have to dig down to the fourth-or-fifth paragraph to where they, like Olbermann, admit that the story might be the exact opposite of what it originally was:
---
"The Canadian government has said it is investigating the source of the leak. The Canadian Press reported Thursday that the comment that sparked the original story may have come from Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff, Ian Brodie – and that his remark had implicated Clinton’s campaign, not Obama’s."

(If the site is slow, just go to cnn.com/politics, click on the political ticker section, and scroll down.)
Yahoo did the same thing: wrote an article, took it off the front page in less than an hour. Unless you saved the original link, forget about finding it. To me this just shows the blinding bias by the media. When obama was guilty, it was front page news. When it's Hillary, it's pushed off to the corner.
