Is it any wonder nobody in the mainstream media wants to risk their career and credibility covering this farce? Legally and morally, the burden is on Sinclair to prove his allegations, not on Obama to disprove them. Larry Sinclair knows this, but he is banking (quite literally) on the fact that the court of public opinion operates quite differently than a court of law, and isn't making any substantial effort to prove his accusations. He knows that it's hard to prove you DIDN'T do something, and is rallying the ignorant under this pretense to send him contributions (and any other number of other 'fundraising' activities of questionable legality). I've been trying to get Mr. Sinclair to response to questions on his blog (simple ones, like "If you think Obama's phone records would prove you right, why don't you provide your phone records, they should work just as well, right?" ), but the blog is so heavily moderated that not one single real question can get through, and apparently even his own worshipers are now having a hard time posting due to overaggressive comment deletion. I know several people who've tried to ask questions of Mr. Sinclair, but that is apparently not allowed on his blog, despite the fact that his blog clearly states "You may comment on any post, regardless of your position. However, please note that any and all abusive, threatening and vulgar comments and emails will result in your user name, email address and IP address being posted regardless and without the posters permission. You have been warned." . Small wonder, huh? The guy who wants to force Obama to answer his questions will not answer anyone else's :) I personally would love it if someone in the media just exposed this guy for the fraud he is. I'd watch that episode for certain, and I'm sure the advertisers would be well pleased by the number of viewers ;) Larry Sinclair has thus far failed to produce a single viable piece of evidence.

I honestly believe Obama will lose as badly as McGovern did.

I think the same thing.

I am a 49-year-old geezer with radical tendencies and sometimes, patience is a virtue.

Unfortunately my partner could not move there, so after 5 years I returned to the US. I miss NZ a lot. I did not want to become a citizen though, because that would have required me to pledge allegiance to a monarch, and I can't do that. I am a "republican" in that sense.

There are probably way more of us, who see the big pic when it comes to our country and the larger issues. He is easily bought no? Bad. In your post above (very funny) the book you cited about the end of America? Oh, fab. Where to go? Expat. Some peaceful small place, someplace. I miss my 1970's America. I know you know what I mean.

I think a great deal will depend on what kind of ticket the Dems come up with in Nov. if Hillary is not at the top of it (for my decision). I have been a lifelong Democrat, but I have been hung up on twice recently by the DNC when I called to question the gesture Obama made (or didn't) at a NC Rally, despite being polite, and laughed at by the Obama campaign (it was pretty clear they knew what he did and thought it hilarious). I find that kind of behavior disgusting. But as mad as I am at the DNC and a few snotty Obama supporters, I want a Republican defeat in November. I honestly believe Obama will lose as badly as McGovern did. But I have been wrong before. I won’t vote for McCain, and I am not advocating anyone do that.

Change is all I hear. People are willing to vote against Clinton or for change (Obama). After Indiana and North Carolina last night I wonder if it's up to the Superdelegates now. Might that be Clinton's last chance? I'll support either nominee come November vs. McCain...A large part of me is ready to just see one Democrat with a united party behind them...and I think that will take a little time, once this nomination is over.

Sit it out or vote for McCain? When I read your opening description of Barack, it made me think of Reagan in 1980 - a lot of pretty fluff, very little substance. He did alright though, didn't he? He knew which direction he wanted the country to go, and he listened to his so-called experts to get us there. Now, I absolutely HATED Reagan more than any other republican, but if Barack can do that, wouldn't that be a GOOD thing? So, if Barack gets the nomination what are you going to do?

Clinton 209,057 57% 2. Obama 157,360 43% On the other hand, with no solid numbers, ABC reports it is a blowout for Obama and not at all too close to call just based on exit polls. Isn't objective journalism fabulous? Indiana Democrats with 34% reporting, but at 8:00 p.m. it’s still too close to call Indiana:

1. Clinton 209,057 57%
2. Obama 157,360 43%
