Over 20 years of Hillary Clinton’s tax returns have been previously released, hundreds of thousands of pages of records from her time in White House and countless other documents detailing her time in public life. Sen. Obama's record is far more opaque.

Sen. Obama has not released any records from his time in the state senate:

Obama: ‘I don't have, I don't maintain a file of eight years of work in the state Senate because I didn't have the resources available to maintain those kinds of records.’ He added, ‘It could have been thrown out. I haven't been in the state Senate now for quite some time.’ [CBS, 11/14/07]

Obama: 'I had one staff person that was what was allocated. I don't have archivists in the state Senate. I don't have the Barack Obama state Senate library available to me, so we had a bunch of file cabinets. I do not have a whole bunch of records from those years.' [Chicago Sun Times, 11/10/07]

Sen. Obama touts his new decision to disclose his U.S. Senate earmarks but he refuses to release all earmarks from his time in the state senate:

Obama has been silent on non-federal earmarks he secured while serving in State Senate. “Sen. Barack Obama is open about the pet projects he's tucked into federal legislation, but it's a different story when it comes to the extra spending he added to state budgets while serving in the Illinois Legislature…. When Obama served in the state Legislature, from 1997 until late 2004, it was routine for money to be added to the annual budget for lawmakers to dole out. In most years, this was done without any public record of which legislator was sponsoring which grant, leaving no way to tell how Obama used his share of the money. [AP, 3/13/08]

Sen. Obama will not release the name of the broker who managed his controversial 'semi-blind' trust:

Obama refuses to name the UBS broker that purchased the stocks in his 'quasi-blind' trust. "Obama had about $100,000 he wanted to invest in 2005. The money was a portion of the $1.2 million he got from a book contract. He said Wednesday he decided the $100,000 could be put into something "more high risk" and asked a friend to recommend a stock broker. That friend was donor George W. Haywood, who held what the New York Times called "major" positions in the two stocks Obama ended up owning, Skyterra and AVI BioPharma…. Obama declined to name the UBS broker." [Sweet column, Chicago Sun-Times, 3/8/07]

Sen. Obama will not disclose what cases he worked on that involved Tony Rezko or his companies:

Obama campaign has not released which cases Obama worked on involving Rezko/Rezmar. "Asked what Rezko cases Obama worked on, Miner (a firm partner) told the Sun-Times, 'We’ll put together a list of the cases he worked on involving Rezko/Rezmar in the next day or two.' That was March 13 [2007]. He never provided the information." [Chicago Sun-Times, 4/23/07]

Answer: You can't.

Obama is a god to his followers. It's not that he has a better campaign; it's that he has a charisma that can fool and buffalo certain types of people, and in this case there are a lot of people needing to be comforted by his rod and staff.

He doesn't have to make sense, or prove that he is capable of handling that 3 AM phone call. He just has to smile, wave, talk big and keep people hypnotized so that they forget what Clinton has done for this country; that Clinton is deeply caring, hard working, successful and, yes, truly qualified to be President.

You can't campaign against a god. There is no way. So the best HRC can do is to keep reminding the conscious people of her accomplishments, her service, her readiness, and her stamina for taking on the Presidency, and hope that people (perhaps the Superdelegates) awaken in time to set things right.

Sadly, if Obama actually becomes President, the bubble will pop. The disappointment of the masses will be extreme. People will eventually shake their heads and say to themselves, "What was I thinking???" much like many who voted for GW are doing now.

Obama is undoubtedly brilliant—but a god he is not. Clinton is also brilliant; with a strong constitution and experience not only in national and international politics, but with Republicans. You think HRC will go to any length to win? Just wait until the Republicans go after BO if they get the chance. You ain't seen nothin' yet. And their gods are bigger and meaner than your god.

When Hillary came in 3rd in Iowa, everyone counted her out immediately. Her speech that night was inspiring to say the least. She went on to win New Hampshire, but then to lose 11 states in a row. She never showed one iota of being tired or beaten. She became the underdog quickly, but came back to win two very important races, and she is now the front-runner nationally according to Gallup, 48% to Obama's 44%.

This is the difference between the two of them. Barack is showing his political immaturity by being knocked off his message and showing his fatigue. Imagine what the senior members of the House and Senate will do to him as president when they want to control him.

This is a good, brilliant man with not enough experience to play in the big leagues yet. It doesn't matter how much he is loved and respected...he has to know how to block the punches and move forward.

I've never been a lunatic over Hillary, and I get frustrated with her when she does or says something really stupid. But I do know one thing about her: She will lead with stamina and power, and make no mistake about it, she is a democrat. Everything she has stood for in her professional career is from the democratic perspective.

I truly believe that if Obama was not black, Hillary would be getting the African American vote, just as she is getting the Hispanic/Latino vote. Why? Because they have watched her work tirelessly on their behalf, and feel a sense of loyalty to her. But Obama is black, and a good man, and I don't blame AA's for backing him for that reason alone. But the fact remains the same. Hillary is good for the less fortunate, the oppressed, minorities, and for all democrats.

I am not a politician and have no way of knowing what works to win. Will she do anything to win? She'll definitely play the politics in the best way she knows how, and will take advice from the pros. People, the whole idea is to win. It's one thing to say "I will not go negative," but let me ask you something? Is it possible that if Gore had done everything he could to beat Bush in 2000 so that there was no chance of Bush stealing the election, that 4000 American soldiers would still be alive today? And who knows how many Iraqi citizens and children would still be alive today? I wish to hell he had gone negative on Bush and won because this country is in worse shape than when GHWB left it.

Despite Willy being slick, and despite the constant ongoing barrage of legal challenges thrown at him throughout the entire 8 years of his presidency, Bill Clinton left the office with the country in better condition than it had been in for decades. Hillary was there through it all, watching, learning, advising, working, and that's experience with the Presidency, even if she did not hold the title. And she has shown amazing stamina throughout all of the crap that was thrown at her. Imagine yourself in her position. Could you have handled it all with the grace and strength that she did? I couldn't. I'd have collapsed emotionally, mentally, and probably physically and spiritually as well.

So, please, people, give the woman a break. You don't have to vote for her in the primary, but if she gets the nomination anyway (and it's more likely she will than not — sorry, it's not about the math, but the Superdelegates, and the rules say they can vote how they want, and they will, and they'll support her because they are politically savvy), vote for her over McCain because she is still a strong democrat who still cares deeply about democratic values, despite what she may seem like during an election contest. And if you can stand to wait for Barack to gain more experience, more knowledge, more stamina, and more power through a few more good years as a senator (where, frankly, he can do great things for us all), then support her in the primary as well.

I've read all the polls that say Obama beats Clinton against McCain. I'm more interested in knowing how a Clinton (Pres) / Obama (VP) ticket would fare against McCain. My logic for supporting a Clinton/Obama ticket over an Obama/Clinton ticket is simple—I think a Clinton/Obama ticket would almost guarantee 16 years of Democrats in the White House. My gut says the same would not be so sure if Obama/Clinton ran against McCain. They might win 8 years, but Clinton will most likely not chance a presidential run at the age of 68.

Both Clinton and Obama will be great Presidents. All you Obama fans out there...would you vote for him as Vice President with Clinton as President? I think the two of them would garner a Presidential landslide against McCain, and after 8 years as VP, Obama will have matured in his political savvy and be able to cake walk into the Presidency.

I'm also curious to know if the DNC has considered this possibility. If I were a Superdelegate, I'd encourage this scenario. It's not at all unusual for members of the DNC to pressure candidates to accept positions that will benefit the party. In reality, Clinton and Obama's views are very similar, and their differences could be pretty easily negotiated. What say all of you out there?
