NO ONE CAN HONESTLY BELIEVE...Hillary and Bill trust and believe in Obama,...his own vp said out of his own mouth before he landed on the ticket..Obama is not experienced enough or ready to be president. Hillary is about "the democrat party"...not us or our country. and that is why she is out on the trail. Hillary stay home this isn`t your election anymore and it has really hurt those of us who believed in you. and i fear this will hurt you politically in the long run by being involved in backing Obama. it just isn`t worth it. stay home please.

once again obama shows he is weak and not ready to lead. he can`t even run for president on his own, he has to have help. i voted for hillary, but i will not vote for Obama, i do not trust or believe in him. he is a liar and just plain scarey. i don`t want higher taxes, or the big government running every aspect of our lives and that is what he is about. also the new voter fraud from Acorn...he has connections too. open your eyes america. he has a racist preacher, and friends with terrorist and radicalist! he can`t even say the pledge of allegiance under God and to our country! i can`t believe anyone would even think of voting for someone who as such negative ties and beliefs. he will make this country a socialist and communist country. MAY GOD HELP US ALL IF HE WOULD WIN, CAUSE WE WILL NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET. I am fed up with Bush too. But i don`t trust Obama to the safety of our nation, my kids or family. NO WAY NO HOW!

I have known Anne Barth personally for 25 years. As an aide for Senator Byrd do you really think that she is against coal. She is for coal and the economy of this state. Capito is getting scared to be spreading this negative information.

Come on Hillary. I love ya and wished you were up for me to vote you in as my next President. Unfortunately, now you support Barth and not in my favor! GO SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO!

Hillary don't need to suck the Democrats this bad! Just ask Bill. They just used him in the primary, knowing they were goning to go against the vote of the people in WV.

Get real folks, Hillary and Bill are going to be voting for McCain/Palin in '08. There presence in WV is for show. Go Shelley!

Anne Barth is completely for coal. Capito's campaign needs to stop spreading lies!

Posted by: Ohio Voter on Oct 9, 2008 at 09:06 AM
I hope she makes it to Meigs County and speaks for Obama... it done wonders for her campaign...

Anne Barth is not against coal ! Does anyone really believe that a canidate running for U. S. Congress, from West Virginia would be against coal? This is jut another dirty trick from Shelly Moore Capito. She is copying from the Bush/Cheney playbook where if you can't beat them fairly, then make up lies. Anne Barth will help get us out of the mess Capito helped create. No one running for office in West Virginia is going to be against coal. Use your brain on this one folks and see through the lies. And one more comment. You can tell Capito puts herself above most of us West Virginians. Look at her name. Shelly (her mother's first name), and Moore (her maiden name). When you see people being named after their close relatives, it usually means the family thinks they are just a little bit better than the rest of us. The average West Virginian doesn't name thier child after their mother. Steer away from people like this because thier interests are not ours. Put Capito out to pasture.
