Much Ado About Hillary?
EmailIt has certainly been the opening storyline of the convention. Polls showing less than half of Hillary Clinton’s supporters say they are behind Obama. All kinds of arguments are being made — including if Obama could harness Clinton’s supporters he’d take off in the race against John McCain. The GOP has fanned the flames with ads hoping to drive a wedge between Obama and Clinton supporters. Important? Press in search of an edgy story?

Hillary’s supporters will show that DNC can not push an unqualified candidate down our throat. We can wait for 2012 to elect the best qualified candidate – Hillary. Now we will put country over party and elect the second best candidate in McCain as a care taker.

Hillary is wise. She knows the writing on the wall. Hillary just wants to make sure that DNC, Pelosi and Dean do not blame their incompetance on Hillary.

This is a non-issue.
The Press has actually been fanning the flames because they want to hurt Obama so bad.
The guy is teflon with no gaffes and I think the Press hates it.

Steve_NJ: What world do you live in? The Media is all ofr Obama and had done everything possible to keep his radical views, terrorist connections, inexperience under the cover. Now they are finding it really difficult to keep it under cover as Americans are gettting the real news anyways.

“Hillary’s supporters will show that DNC can not push an unqualified candidate down our throat. We can wait for 2012.”
Pelosi, Kennedy, Dean and Kerry – would you just disappear please? You guys are disgusting, selfish creatures.
And I am glad we don’t hear much about Judas.
McCain, 2008!

Pelosi, Dean, Kerry, Kennedy and Obama all will be hiding after November. Clintons will rise and restore order in DNC by 2012.

Obama is a puppet in the hands of MoveOn.org, Pelosi, Dean, Kennedy and Kerry. Obama will do whatever he needs to win. He will put his winning the presidency above the country. MCcain is not a puppet in anybody’s hand. He has spekn against Bush, RNC and DNC. He speaks for America and American people. MCCain will put his country above everything. What a contrast between McCain and Obama!

Obama is way to left for me. I am a democrat and have been for a long time. I voted for Hillary. He has shifted about 30 positions that he spent 17 months attacking Hillary on.
I can not vote for such a panderer.
He wants to expand Bush faith based initiatives??
Who is running for Bush third term?
the same cult of personality, big money, many vile supporters, “the uniter”
riiiight!

“Hostile Media Effect” (n) : The tendency of partisans tend to judge news coverage as biased against their own side.
I’m just sayin’…

There are so many legends and myths out there about Obama.
Obama is right.
Many of you Repubs actually take pride in your ignorance.

You are an idiot if you think that Clinton will ever be elected President!
She was beaten by a better candidate and that crazy old warmonger will get the same treatment. That idiot Clinton supporter that is featured in McCain’s latest ad who says she’s now voting for McCain is a nurse in Denver. The press caught up with her and asked her how she could vote for McCain since he wasn’t pro-choice and she actually said that it was her understanding that McCain was pro-choice. This is a Hillary supporter? How stupid is this woman and how many more like her are out there?

There is nothing anyone, even Hillary, can say to try to persuade me to vote for Obama. I’m absolutely angry beyond words that Obama is the nominee. As a lifelong Democrat I’m offended that my party has done this. Howard Dean and Pelosi need to get the heck out of there. Hillary is the most qualified to run this country NOW. I have no problem voting for Obama….in ten years, but now? What were they thinking? I WILL WRITE HILLARY IN as everyone should!!!

HILLARY NEEDS TO RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT
3-WAY RACE JUST LIKE BILL CLINTON DID.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN

Anything is Better than Obama.
Obama will make bush look like a God.
I was anti-bush the first time
Told everyone not to vote for him the second time.
What we know of Obama, He is a dangerous man.
We will be 100% better with out him.
I hope between now and Nov people stop, take a close look at Obama and the big Picture. Then they will see he is not right to be the President of our country.

What are you talking about, Steve? Obama in his own word talked about his cocaine use in Dreams from my Father.

notice how the polls are reporting a tied race so as to lower the bar for obama so any bump will seem more significant. it amazes me how hard the media has worked to install obama and shove him down our throats.
i also love the way pundits, and obama supporters keep insisting that hillary just has to TELL us to vote for obama like we are non-thinking morons that get bundled and passed on. what an insult.

DO NOT WRITE IN HILLARY BEFORE CHECKING WITH YOUR COUNTRY ELECTION OFFICE. EVERY DISTRICT IS DIFFERENT. SOME COUNT THE WRITE-INS, OTHERS DON’T, SOME ASSIGN THE VOTE TO THE CANDIDATE ON THE BALLOT IN THIS CASE YOU WOULD BE VOTING FOR OBAMA. CHECK FIRST.

She LOST! Get it? She LOST! He got more votes than she did. That is how it works. MI and FL broke the rules, flaunted them, and then want all to be forgiven? BS! Even if you count them, by the time you add in the caucus states which Hillary does not want to count, BHO wins anyway! This is America. The person who gets the most votes wins. Any person who calls him or herself a Democrat who votes for McCain is either crazy or was never a true Dem in the first place. Good riddance.

I will vote for the person, not the Party.
VOTERS are being driven from the Democrat Party by no one else but Obama himself.
Kennedy counldn’t bring himself to pass power to a woman. WHY? His own issues on that subject are decades old.
Here are two questions I heard that made the old Democrat rebel rise in me.
During WWII who would vote in a President with a Japanese name?
Am I willing to stretch a great document like our Constitution to vote for a guy born in Panama?
Hillary might as well declare an Independent ticket or meet State by State criteria for “write ins” to count, since that is the reality of today.
I am not a Party sheep to be dictated to in a democracy. If my party has no integrity for the popular vote winner.
