    "With all of the challenges facing Ohio and America, we need a leader who can deliver real solutions on her first day in office," Glenn said in a statement released by Clinton's campaign.

      Glenn played obstructionist for Bill Clinton during the Chinagate hearings chaired by Fred Thompson

      If you watched them on C-Span, his behavior was absolutely appalling

      I came away from watching the hearings thinking that this once great American had sold his country out for a chance at personal glory - his reward was a trip on the Space Shuttle

      Maybe he wants another ride

      Barack Obama defined the issue correctly when he said, "It's the past against the future." Now another figure from the past has joined the candidate of the past--John Glenn supports Hillary Clinton.

      Sen. Glenn retired a decade ago. Sen. Clinton would do well to follow his fine example.

          Forgot to say. Ohio doesn't have the clout it used to have but vote I will even if it's locked up.

            He's not an ancient hero, he's an eternal hero. John Glenn will always symbolize the future and represent the best of humanity, its drive to exceed it's limitations, and its desire to explore. Long after names like Clinton, Bush, and even Obama are dust, Glenn and the other Mercury Seven astronauts will epitomize the best and boldest humanity has to offer.

            I have yet to see Barack Obama even attempt to push out the envelope. All his policy proposals sound like every other Democrats'. His greatest claim is he can make everyone get along. Once you get past his soaring speech making, he's very vanilla.

          Hillary cannot win Ohio, because she is the wrong color. Barak has Super star quality, and no experience. Hillary has the experience, but no super star quality. With Democrats it is about how you feel. I looked at Barak's crowd last night. You would have thought he was Elmer Gantry. They were mostly women, young, and all agog over the bronz guy.

              You must've been looking through those biased eyes of yours again! What I saw as a cross section of America: Black, white, hispanic, indian, asian...women, men, young, old, everybody...as it SHOULD be.

              Very good editorial from David Brooks "When reality bites", dated Feb. 12 in the NY Times, regarding the problems they face with their constituents if elected. It is worth a read.

                Wait! John Glenn is endorsing Hillary? Now I'm CERTAINLY going to vote for her!

                Please!

                An ani, you could just as easily substitute "Republicans" for "Democrats" in your post above, or almost any human group, as all people are susceptible to charisma.

                And I'm not sure Obama's bronze, really, What about cafe-au-lait? Greige? Sand-at-Dusk?

                In other words, you're revealing a certain color...fixation.

                    Remember that Glenn's views are based on someone who once fell in the bathtub and hit his head.

                    funny- as far as I can tell, all of the frontrunner candidates are pro-amnesty.

                    (except ron paul)

                    we are heading in a very scary direction when you consider obama, clinton, mccain OR huckabee.

                    you can thank the media giants for controlling the show and bringing out the WORST this country has to offer.

                    it's damn pathetic to say the least. sorry john glenn. if you had half a mind, you would have shown your support toward dennis k., mike gravel or ron paul

                  So, eco, what counts is that someone "look like a president"?

                  But what does a president look like, exactly? White? Middle-aged? Male?

                  Tall? Not too heavy. Not bald, certainly.

                  I believe the point of the rather remarkable thing that's happening now in American politics is that it's actually possible to envision a president who doesn't answer at all to the above description.

                  So let's put retrograde "looks like" criteria aside, shall we?

                    "he actually looks like a president"

                    come on, I threw that in there because this whole process is a ruse!

                    the agenda of the north american union and the introduction of the amero is right on track. all of these candidates in the forefront are about the north american union. how much do you know about that plan?

                  Alas, palama, and to answer your question, in America one drop of "black blood" means you're black.

                  That's because we're pathologically obsessed with race. It makes no sense to me either that Obama is referred to as black (or Afro-American) either; in a better world he'd be seen and described, if at all, as someone of mixed-race ancestry.

                    OBAMA IS A CLOWN. HE IS A PAWN BEING USED BY THE POWERBROKERS OF THIS NATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISARMING CLINTON.

                    KNOWING THAT SOME WOULD BE MOVED BY OBAMA'S PEDIGREE, THEY RIGHTLY CALCULATED THAT THEY COULD SHORT CIRCUIT ANY INHERENT STAR POWER THAT MIGHT EMANATE FROM A CLINTON COMBINATION.

                    THE FUNNY PART IS THAT OBAMA IS NOT A BLACK MAN AT ALL. HE IS REALLY A CHAMELEON WHO WILL CHANGE COLOR RACE ETHNICITY AND RELIGION AS NEEDED AND WHEN NEEDED. HE STANDS FOR NOTHING AND IS PRETTY MUCH LAUGHABLE IF NOT FOR THE TERRIBLE DAMAGE THAT HE WILL DO TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, BLACK AMERICANS AND TO THE NATION WHICH WILL SOON HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THE DRAFT BECAUSE OF HIM ( IF NOT THE THIRD WORLD WAR DEPENDING ON WHO JOHN McCAIN REALLY IS.)

                    IN THE END WE ARE LEFT WITH A HOLY WAR FOR THE EGO, STUPIDITY AND CULPABILITY OF A NEOPHYTE WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GOOD POLITICIAN IN SOME YEARS, BUT IS INSTEAD A POISONOUS BUFFO WHOSE COMEDIC PERFORMANCE IS PROBABLY LEVERAGED WITH AN OCEAN OF TEARS.

                      try educated...how about you?

                      how much do you know about the north american union and the amero?

                      there is a well documented book written by jerome corsi, PhD that I ran across. "The Late Great USA"

                      there are the govt. "fluff" sites to try to convince the masses how wonderful it will be to have imported slave labor, chinese imports and services out the yang, a 4-football field wide highway being built as I type to bring in trucks and truckers from mexico to process the imports from china, who have no mind for safety, ...

                      I could go on and on...but, it would help if you did some research yourself!

                    My friend wrote me the other day and said that the reason why the Republicans were engaging in an all out smear campaign against HC is because she's voted the most likely to put them all in prison for their war crimes and corruption.

                    She's probably right. While most of Congress voted to censure Albeto Gonzalez for his amazing ability to be the US's wost AG, Obama was silent. Obama has also been silent on a number of other bills that would directly oppose the current administration's level of corruption and opposition to basic civil rights.

                    There has to be a better way. The last 7 years had deeply cut into our civil rights, the Bill of Rights and allowed a mass of corrupt thieves to plunder the US treasury. Millions of dollars in the "war" were spent on nonexistent or poor quality goods and services. The question is not, who is going to win, but who is going to have the guts to stop this nonsense.

                      And everyone's doing a lot of posting, but there's not a lot of facts being talked about. Check out the voting record of both HC and OB by going to the Washington Post website.

                        you'll find they are both pro-amnesty. (and this is very wrong when you consider our national security--bring our military home to PROTECT our own borders.)

                        TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. FOR BOTH HILLARY AND THIS NATION.

                        IF McCAIN IS ANYTHING LIKE BUSH WE ARE PRETTY MUCH LOOKING AT WORLD WAR THREE.

                        McCAIN WILL DRAFT AND HE WILL FORCE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN TO PARTAKE IN THE DRAFT WILLING OR NOT.

                        AS FOR OBAMA, HE WILL BE PROVEN TO BE A CURSE ON THIS NATION FOR HE WILL USHER IN A NEW AGE OF GREAT INTOLERANCE AND GREAT DIVISIONS. I THINK MOST OF US HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF UNDERPERFORMANCE AND STUPIDITY AS A WAY OF LIFE.

                        THE TIME IS RIPE FOR REAL CHANGE AND IT WILL BEGIN HOPEFULLY WITH THE DEATH OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHICH HAS SERVED THE MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING PEOPLE OF THIS NATION, NOTHING AT ALL.

                              John Glenn spent too many hours in a space capsule with the door open. His greed for fame turned him into a political hack.

                                  In the greater scheme of things, this was a post about an inconsequential endorsement which allowed us to once again vent our anger over the process in which we have no control. The primaries are there to placate the masses. The Democratic nominee will be selected by the super delegates not the people. The tentacles of corruption extend far beyond Washington.

                                      I don't think Glenn's endorsement will be enough fuel to rocket Hillary passed Obama's out of this world popularity. TRULY, Glenn is probably out in orbit to think otherwise, not realizing the gravity of the situation, that Hillary is now in uncontrollable free-fall, destined to possibly come crashing back down to earth...hard.
