Clinton Ignores Losses and Looks Ahead to Texas, Ohio

Just another excuse from the Hillary camp – any state that we didn’t win/can’t win does not matter. This is the new spin? That she’s been banned somehow from campaigning enough in Virginia?
She has just as much time as Obama, just chooses to spend it sending out questionable direct mail pieces instead of meeting the people.

What the results of the caucuses in Washington, Nebraska and Louisiana and those of Super Tuesday show is demographics plays a HUGE factor in the results, almost making it very predictable. Given the large black population in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC, we can all just ignore the election news for now since they will all uniformly go to Obama and wait until it’s Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania’s turn to hold primaries, where it gets more interesting.

If OBAMA win in Virginia is because of those votes from virgins. Virgins are innocent; they do not have the experience and not sure where their future and our country is heading. They just see OBAMA as their idol. It’s a no brain no. Hey virgins, you guys need to wake up and smell the coffee. Our country does not need OBAMA right now. Huge problems and turmoil will face him, tsunami of foreclosures, recession, plummeting dollar rate, war in Iraq; too much for OBAMA. No not this time. Get real.

wow hill, way to thank those who did vote for you (and win you some delegates!) in those states yesterday.
What an ungrateful little pig. I would not and will not vote for her in November if she’s the nominee. I just won’t do it.

Joseph,
I don’t get your comment. Nebraska has only a 4% black population and Obama got 68% of the vote with a huge turnout. People are paying so much attention to the demographics because the media haven’t gotten over a white woman running against a black man and they are trying to generalized too much about who voted for whom. We make up our own minds, no matter what our demographic.

Seems like the same ole Hilary to me. Ignore the reality of a situation; deny any responsibility; and refocus away from the issues that, just a week ago, were supposedly, uppermost in her mind. Does this sound like the same Hilary we saw during Bill’s presidency: ignore, deny, and refocus. Above all, remain silent on issues the country is begging to resolve.

does any one realize that Obama is just a “manchurian Candidate?”
His campaign manager is a Pharmecutical/drug company LOBBYIST.
Obama does not understand or even know what is wrong with the Bush medicare plan that enriches drug companies–his cheif supporters.
Clinton or McCain have my vote….

I echo kevin. There are at least 5 democrats in my family–including me–who will not vote for Obama if he’s the nominee. He lost me when Oprah got involved, and pushed me further away when his surrogates misrepresented Clinton’s comments. McCain will get my vote–the first time I’ll vote republican ever.

If all you win in the general is CA, NY, NJ, MA, OH and PA….. you loose the election. If you do what you always did you’ll get what you always got.

“Obama has…(more elected experience than Hillary)…
—posted by Daniel Stevens, 2/10
Obama was a State Senator for 6 years and in the US Senate for 2. That’s 8…the same number of years Clinton has been in the US Senate. How does that translate as Obama having more experience?
In any event, it’s hard to imagine that the brilliant First Lady of both a state and our country learned nothing in those times and places. Really, is it that hard to give credit where it’s due?

Daniel says where we when she won Florida and Michigan….states he did not even vist LOL or have his name on the ballot….she did by the way…LOL try harder Daniel! and try to come up with something that does not insult the intelligence of the readers…Oh wait…the uneducated are voting for Clinton…sorry I expected too much from you!

“Obama was a State Senator for 6 years and in the US Senate for 2. That’s 8…the same number of years Clinton has been in the US Senate. How does that translate as Obama having more experience?”
Actually, it is less than 8 years – 2 year spent running for state Senate twice, 1 year spend running for state Represenative (which he lost), 1 year running for US Senate and 1 year running for President. So it is 3 years experience in public office and 5 years running for the next higher office.

Please People….Are you true Democrats or not? Why would you say you would vote for McCain over Obama, if he got the nomination? So basically you are saying that you would rather stay in this war for 100 years or more than vote for Obama? What? I will support either Democratic nominee…they are both very qualified.. I am a TRUE Democrat!!!! Ask yourself why you dislike Obama more than the WAR??? There is such a BIG difference between the Republican ideals and the Democratic. But there is not much difference between Obama and Clinton. Again…ask yourself…why?

To those of you petulantly and childishly “threatening” to “take your ball and go home” (i.e. vote for McCain, who will destroy everything for which you supposedly “stand”) if you don’t get the nominee you *demand,* I say: Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.

GW, Mark – remember how unrepresentative these blogs are of party members at large. The question has been polled, and similar percentages of both Obama and Clinton supporters would be ‘satisfied’ with the other candidate as nominee, and probably a good chunk of the unsatisfied would hold their noses and vote for the Democratic nominee.
These boards just accentuate the drama, particularly for a campaign like Clinton’s, in which we’re seeing drama for drama’s sake.

She’s looking ahead to TX and OH like Giuliani looked forward to Florida. I hope they put her campaign down for the count.

I stopped reading after this “Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-Ill.” Please do not associate her with the state of Illinois. We would never elect her to a Senate seat.

What abunch of whinners,Fla. and Mich. knew the penalty for moving up thier primarys did any of you whiners protest this, demostrate against this of course you didn’t,no delegates will seated, now seeing Clinton and her supporters are on the loosing end they now want the rules changed or perhaps they will take thier toys and go home,good riddance.

situation; deny any responsibility; and refocus away from the issues that, just a week ago, were supposedly, uppermost in her mind. Does this sound like the same Hilary we saw during Bill’s presidency: ignore, deny, and refocus. Above all, remain silent on issues the country is begging to resolve.

I would not and will not vote for her in November if she’s the nominee. I just won’t do it.
All those clintion supporters are going to be surprised when she looses in the general election.
I and all of my friends are life long Democrats who voted for Clinton. and now we are tired 8 years was plenty time to move on.
If hillary gets the nomination, we are ALL voting for McCain–Period.
I have voted for a Republican, and will do it again .

“Druggstohr” mentioned that Obama downplayed super-tuesday?
That’s just not true, he actually tried to bring attetion to it because he came out with more delegates on super tuesday, thus, OBAMA WON super tuesday.Plain and simple.
And “John D” said: As a Democrat, you can’t lose in CA, NY, NJ, MA, OH, and PA and expect to win in Nov. The only state obama won that will matter in Nov is his home State of Illinois.
I do not know who the Dem nominee will be, but judging by the states obama has lost, he is doomed in Nov.
Well, John, this is a moot argument because those states will be blue states anyway in the general, no matter who the democrat is. The real statement is Obama’s huge margins of victor in red states!
Thirdly, “Joseph” states that race is why Obama is winning all these states this weekend? Well, I’m interested, Joseph, to understand how that happened in WA and NE when there is mostly white people in both of those states?? Louisiana is the only state with significant black population.

Hillary did even congratulate Obama for all of his wins yesterday. Surprised? No.
This woman has a lot of class – but it’s all low.

Sure that’s smart… vote for McCain because Hillary doesn’t win. Have you really thought that through? McCain will be forced to bring on a super-conservative running mate to help coalesce Republican support during the General Election. A running mate, by the way, that could potentially end up as president given how old McCain is. You really want to risk that just because Hillary wasn’t as prepared for this primary season as she should have been?

There is no way Hillary can win TEXAS,we are a republican State,with strong women who do not cry when things don’t go their way.Remember Ann Richards she was a tough old bird and the only Democrat female “elected govenor of Texas”.TEXAN’s will shut Hill and Bill down and run them bare foot all the way back to Arkansas.

Daniel Stevens touts Obama’s “judgment”, which is rather curious.
Remember that Obama called Rezko to arrange for a real estate deal so he can buy an expensive house, KNOWING that Rezko was already being investigated for potential criminal wrong-doing.
Is that good judgment?
Obama then said later that what he did was a “BONE-HEADED” mistake (read that as stupid, of course).
What Obama has is an unusual knack for acknowledging mistakes and getting away with it, because he knows he is SO LIKEABLE! The mainstream press likes him so much, too!

if they both at convention in aug and close to be ties of delagtes hillary will win the super , there not stiuped they not anti clinton most of people are voting for oabam are anti clinton becuase they want change becuas they want a new name in white house , but american are stuped our economy suck forcloser rising we as american has to take our vote serously and we havnt do so in the past 7 year,we as amercian going to try to put a rookie in the white house that has zero exspiernce that doesnt sound like we being smart in the economy we in now , why caint amercian be smart and and say we must put someone in there that has exspericne and the no how and no how to get the job done ,
people are so stupied would you want someone to go in your job that that has no exspericne and push you off to the side i bet not then why should we put obama in white house what makes him more quilfied then hillary
answer that question all you oabama fans

John, you call Obama the “Manchurian Candidate” and portray his campaign manager as a drug company lobbyist.
How about Hillary’s chief campaign strategist Mark Penn? His day job is CEO of Blackwater USA’s public relations firm. Sheesh.

kevin, joseph, and others, i am another of those who have voted democrat (straight ticket) all my life. i will cast my first republican vote ever if obama is the nominee. and my friends plan to do the same. also, he thinks he can have it both ways by getting the superdelegates to follow his rules and by keeping michigan and florida out. who does he think he’s kidding? and for those who keep pointing to the demographics of those red states he won, a little logic would help – you might try it. most were caucus states, where party activists make up the majority and are the most liberal, plus they want to publicly show how progressive they are. there are no caucuses in the general election. and some republicans would vote for hillary, because her views are more moderate, but would never vote for obama, who is extremely liberal. and a lot of repubs and dems both would not vote for an african-american person, in a secret ballot – regardless of the propriety of such a truth, it is a truth. the reality is that primary and caucus results in red states tell us nothing about relative strength in general elections. however, hillary has strength with women (more than half the overall population), hispanics, older people, etc., people who actually constitute the electorate in a general election. obama may be able to compete with hillary in the nomination race, but will be crushed in a general election if we are foolish enough to nominate him.

maccain is worst the bush in my eyes ,
i dont like obama either for many reason , so he wont get my vote ,
if its both of them in i wont vote at all,
unless he has hillary as his vp

ernie – how much control over the economy do you think a president has?

>ernie Evans you are right.

Ernie: “more then you and i do,” in response to a question about how much control over the economy a president can exert.
Okay, then what exactly can a president do to exert that control?

Since when is Senator Hillary Clinton “D-Ill”?

i agree with few things you said kevin we do need a change we do need a demcrate in white house im total sure whop ever win hillary or obama will be the next president , mccain sucks,
let me just ask you kevin who did you vote for 4 yrs ago kerry or bush and gore or bush seince tx won big those 2 elections

With the Republican nomination wrapped up, Republicans voted in great numbers for Obama in the Democratic Party caucuses today. All that is certain is that most if not all of these voters in traditional Republican states will vote for McCain and do not want Hillary Clinton. Obama will spin this as more evidence that he will take Republican votes in November. This is his massively delusional political speak, moving Democrats toward certain destruction in November.
That people would have the audacity to claim that the most liberal senator in the US Senate will draw Republicans is the biggest joke Republicans have played on Democrats in twenty-five years. That the Democratic Party is so delusional shows the difference between the silly Democrats and serious Republicans in this and every other election in the last twenty-five years.
In one Democratic Party caucus on the Eastside of Washington’s Seattle area, three high school seniors claimed they were in the right caucus, admitted that they had been Ron Paul voters, plan to vote for McCain, but voted for Obama. These young Republicans realized that in many caucuses, the vote could be small enough that they could affect the outcome and there would be nothing that would affect McCain. So they were voting for Obama at the Democratic Party caucus. They were allowed to come in and vote about thirteen minutes late. So it went, for certain, all over the two caucus states. Voters for Republicans in November lined up for Obama, the certain loser in November. In fact, Obama has a lead over McCain only due to the undecideds. Many will come back to McCain or will not vote in November once the handwriting is on the wall. And that is if anyone is foolish enough to consider the polls at all accurate.
Lancaster County Democrats designated 53 caucus locations, and was the last county in the state to caucus. The proceedings were just beginning at 6 p.m. Officials said they saw a number of registered Republicans changing their party affiliation at polling sites “just to participate in the process.” This will prove nothing in Republican states. Until the Fall, of course.

Hey Mark y wife is a latina as well.

AmazonTraveler…………’whatever’
The Clinton machine is about to get rolled over by a freight train call Barak Obama. Against all the odds the coronation of HRC will not come to pass.

Records of these two candidates should be scrutinized in order to make an informed decision.
Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term (6yrs.), and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law, (20) twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.
These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress (www.thomas.loc.gov), but to save you trouble, I’ll post them here for you.
1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.
2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O’Shea.
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.
13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.
15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton’s bills are, more substantive.
16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.
17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.
There you have it, the fact’s straight from the Senate Record.
Now, I would post those of Obama’s, but the list is too substantive, so I’ll mainly categorize.
During the first (8) eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills.
He introduced
233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427.
These inculded
**the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law),
**The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law),
**The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,
**The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law),
**The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (In committee), and many more.
In all since enter the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096. An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to the spin meisters and mindless twits.

whate ever hillary is still winning in over all delagtes that incuds super delagtes the people are super delagtes are not ignorant on what mark saysif you dont vote for obama your ignorant, these people choose who among hillary or brack is more favour to win in nov and so far out of 796 super its 241 hillary to 135 obama so if or when it goes to convention she win even those people can see she more quilfy to run this country,
and not to mention there awarding 73 delagtes to hillary at the convention arrcording to dnc 73 del that she won in michigan and less not forget fla they be awarding del there to arrgording to dnc at the convention

As I said Honesty and Loyalty is an enigma to the Clintons. Once you have served your purpose adios amigo.

If Obama is our nominee, I will vote for Mc Cain.

Frankly I wanted Feingold. Call me a homer. How can Clinton possibly lose. She had the name, the news services, the super delegates, tons of money, the world press, and her husband and she can’t put away a 2 year Senator. Pitiful. Personally I won’t vote for her because of the shameful way they treated Gore in 2000, everybody knows Bill stayed out of it because of Hillary, and the way they treated Kerry, which is why Kennedy went for Obama. P.S. The war. Does anyone really think she’ll pull our troops out of Iraq? Personally, she reminds me of a female, Democratic, Dick Cheney, arrogant, talking down to everyone, appeals to the fearful, and ripping anyone who dares challenges her. I’ll be voting O on the 19th. (I still want Feingold)

still can’t believe she called iowa “irrelevant” after losing the state!!

I have been democrat all of my life, I really don’t think Clinton will be elected. We have had enough of Bill Clinton as President and with him back in the White House I am sure he will be trying to tell Hillory how to do her job. I don’t see any problem with Obama. He sounds honest and he is a young man with new idea’s, want’s to help the poor and we need that for there are alot of poor in the United States today becouse of job loss and out sourcing. No job is secure any more here. And I have alot of friend’s that there son or daughter is over in Irac thank’s to MR. BUSH. The republican’s voted Bush in, and he sure made a mess of are U.S.A. Mcain should retire and live in a beach house. I don’t think he would make a good President at all. I guess we will just have to wait and do are voting for who we beleive in and hope are Country heal’s, and that who ever win’s I am sure a Demacrate this time. There is nothing left for the republican’s to take from us is there? Bring are son’s and daughter’s home and out of that hell hole there in. People loosing there home’s and job’s alot of homless what a mess we are in. Bush dosn’t even have a plan if Irac came here to harm us. Can’t even build up a city from a hurrican, what would he do if the bomb’s started coming this way?

I have kept up with the straw polls, and something seems pretty apparent to me with this primary season. Alot of the states that Obama won recently where there was a substantial win, have been states where Hillary has been ahead in the straw polls by as much as 10%. Especially with Maine, where there was such a turn out, in the snow. I really believe that republicans in alot of these states that allow voters to vote against party and have come out in droves to vote for Obama and that is why Obama has won these states. The republican party thinks it can win against Obama versus Clinton, and that is why I think this has been such a fight. There is no doubt in my mind that this is happening, especially in states like Nebraska, Maine and Washington. Well, if this is the case, Hillary is still doing well, because she is not only going against those that like Obama, she is going head to head with the Republican party, so I think she is still doing good. It just means that democrats need to get their butts out and vote, so we can make sure that the democratic party will be in the White House. As it stands now, if Obama is the nominee, there will NOT be a democrat in the White House. Can anyone even conceive of another 4 years with republicans calling the shots! Get out an vote if you want your voice to be heard.

I think that all or most CLINTON SUPPORTTERS ARE HAVING A KIND OF FOIBIA OR FEAR FROM REAL CHANGE. THEY MUST CHANGE THEIR WAY IN THINKING . THEY MUST THINK OUT OF THIER OLD FASHION BOXES. WAKE UP AMERICA.

Time and time again, Hillary’s campaign is all about ” I, I, I, my, my, my, mine, mine, mine.” If you listen to her speak, all her talks are about her. Hillary, let me tell you straight, Presidency is not owed to you!!! Presidency is a position to serve the people, not for you to be served.

hillary is winning in the popular vote and winning in super delagte vote and only trailing in del votes by margin of 64

Quote from this article: ‘Clinton indirectly criticized her opponent, saying “people say to me all of the time you are so specific, you talk about all of these things you want to do. Why don’t you really just come and give us one of these great rhetorical flourishes and then get everybody all whooped up.”
See, she even admits that she talks about what she WANTS to do. I’ve never heard her give the ‘specifics’ about how she plans to do it…something she constantly criticises Obama for. She doesn’s give the message of hope and vision because she can’t. Period!

Ernie: “obama is all about hope you need more then hope to run the white house , hope dont get you to do things in the white house…”
True, hope alone doesn’t get things done. In fact, presidents don’t get things done. The people that presidents appoint do, and the track record isn’t very good for president’s who try to do things themselves.
What presidents do is set directions and oversee the management of the organization they build. I’d rather have some hopeful doing this. I don’t see the benefit of having an agenda set by a president who isn’t hopeful.

Ann:There are an awful lot of us who don’t pledge support to a Party–but who vote for the candidate of our choice and who will and are choosing NOT to vote for Hillary Clinton. I totally agree with you that I want to change Washington, and I believe neither Hillary OR McCain can do that. But there are other reasons (a list too long for me to put in writing) for why I will not vote for Hillary if she is the candidate, and, just for the record, the least important reason(#546) is that she is not THE woman for the job. Trust me, I’m not alone in my dislike for her candidacy.

HELLO…..have you been listening to him?
McCain will stay in Iraq up to 100 years
We can take that money we are snorting away and accomplish an aweful lot for our OWN COUNTRY…

And why is she looking forward to those states? Hispanics.
I wonder if the Hispanics are starting to feel used or will feel that at some point, used and taken advantage of – totally taken for granted?
They are crazy if the feel she has some great love for the Hispanic community. Funny how she never mentioned them until she needed them. Up until now, we can only assume they were of no use to her. At least Obama has worked on the behalf of many different populations (blue collar, working class, black, elderly, etc.)
The moral of this story, don’t discount people – you never know when you might need them.

Posted by: sick of the clintons,
And you will have plenty of other Dems. in your corner also doing the same thing, not to mention the Ind. that will also be voting for him over her.
It this had been a half way decent campagin that played out in a fair and honest manner, there wouldn’t be such divisions….What occured instead is the Clinton’s interjected their brand and STYLE of politics into it an many people will NOT soon be forgetting that…insulting, divisive, polarizing, negative, dishonest, unethical, manipulative, you name it an it applies. Regardless, here we are divide and facing the fact another Rep. will gain the WH…..Doesn’t matter to me because I stand on principle. Besides, there is NOTHING any politician can do for me that I haven’t or cannot do for myself. The very principles that I will stand for come November….

I really, really like Obama, as do most Dems, and there are things about Hillary I don’t like, but still, we face too many excruciatingly serious matters now and experience DOES matter, this time especially. I worry about the young, and unthinking, people who are mesmerized by the really wonderful speaker that Obama is, but it will take so much more than a gift for eloquence to care for our country’s interests. Obama is extremely intelligent and I believe an excellent candidate for future races with more experience behind him – and he’s truly a good guy, which is what so many thought and think of Jimmy Carter, but like Carter, I don’t think Obama has the connections needed to get the job done-and it is unfortunate that these connections are a necessary evil in American politics; I hate that too, but it’s a fact of life. I say let’s learn more about Obama over the next 4-8 years and decide based on that, but in the meantime I strongly appeal to everyone to understand our need for someone who can be tough against the GOP who will play their continual attack tactics against any Dem in the presidency, and who resort to projecting fear instead of solutions. But most importantly, someone who is tough enough with MUCH experience to tackle our truly serious issues. I always feel voting is picking the less of two evils; no party or candidate is perfect, but I think Hillary is the best candidate this time. We certainly do not want the war to continue another 100 years! We are not losers to pull out of Iraq after having removed their brutal dictator for them and after spending too long trying to help them get their act together. It’s long past time that we move out – with care – and they stand up to their responsibilities.

Obama is winning more than small States…He is winning in States with VERY LOW populations of Black voters.
m posted: “What is racial is 85% of black people voting for a black candidate. This is an unprecedented percentage of one group of people voting for one candidate. White people voted 50% for Obama and 50% for Hilary. Which group is using race as basis for voting? Obama might be the first president appointed based on “affirmative action”.”
Wake up! Black people voting for the same person is not racism…it’s solidarity. That is a tool used widely and successfully by the Republican Party. The Dem Party badly needs that! How can you all desert the party’s elected candidate just because it wasn’t the one you chose? That is childish pouting and ignorance. That is like saying, “I am not your friend” because your friend got the toy you wanted. Again! Obama is winning in States with LOW populations of Black voters.

You are lost! The primary elections are done by secret ballots, too! The “SECRET” is OUT!
Shane! Do you mean to assert that the electorate is only Hispanics and old people? Think before you speak…

Satish posted: by the same token then other races voting for their own race is solidarity not racism.
Implies then that the white people not voting for Clinton are not showing solidarity towards their own race.
That would be a direct derivation. I would not make it but, it is reasonable…and sensible in this case.
I agree with Eric. Obama has a much broader public appeal and I agree that Hillary will change her mouth to match the situation at hand.

Those who say they will vote McCain in November if their favorite Democratic candidate doesn’t win the nomination are doing nothing more than pulling a Nader.
In a stubborn act of self-righteousness Nader effectively ended up making sure we were all subjected to 7 years (and counting) of incompetence and irreperable damage to our nation.

Democratic primaries have been so far all demographics. Blacks voting for Obama, Latinos voting for Clinton, men for Obama and women for Clinton. If Obama is the Democratic nominee and McCain is the Republican nominee, McCain will win. Because I suspect that Latinos will vote for McCain. Two reasons one McCain has an immigration policy which latinos like and they will not vote for a black candidate.

Intoxicated Coal Miner hit it head on. Hillary has all but mocked Obama’s optimism and that cynicism is what the people are really sick of. You don’t get to reinvent yourself every time your campaign manager tells you group X wants X, Y or Z and then hope to attract votes from people who are sick of exactly that kind of BS.
Whether Obama wins or loses, politics as usual just got gonged, IMO. You can’t spin integrity.
