Obama: She’s Not Dead Yet

ABC News’ David Wright, Sunlen Miller and Andy Fies Report: Barack Obama says it is way too early for anyone to write an obituary for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

"Remember New Hampshire," he cautioned at a news conference on board his campaign plane.

Watch the VIDEO HERE.

Obama insists he’s not counting Clinton out.

"Sen. Clinton is working tirelessly, as is Bill Clinton, in Ohio and Texas," Obama said.  "This race is extraordinarily tight."

Obama sought to lower any expectations he might win those two states, saying he’ll be happy if Clinton doesn’t achieve a blow-out in Ohio and Texas. 

Obama said he’s hoping to emerge from the 4 contests next Tuesday – Ohio, Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island – with a lead of 100 to 150 delegates.

"I continue to believe that we’ll go to the convention with the most earned delegates and I believe we should be the nominee," Obama said.

Obama denied a Canadian television report alleging that his campaign reached out to reassure the Canadian government not to worry about campaign rhetoric critical of NAFTA. 

The Canadian ambassador to the US has denied the story, first reported by CTV News. 

Asked about the report, Obama flatly denied it too.

"It wasn’t true," he said.

This is how grown ups behave. Respect for your opponent, never assume the battle is won. CTV needs to put their sources out there. Of course the GOP will deny involvment.

Greg McIsaac of CTV says they are standing by their story despite Sen. Obama’s denial.

Obituary? This is rather distasteful language coming from none other than the king of cum-ba-yah, Barack Obama. It also sounds like a bit of arrogance on his part to phrase it this way. This is liable to backfire on him and I hope it does, bigtime.

The trade talk from Canada was done by who?????You can bet they are in if for the Clintons,Clinton’s they have done EVERYTHING in their years and will continue to get back in the White House,keep your eyes on the Clinton camp and people they know.Trust them NOT…………..

Hey there West Coast Messenger…
The press on the plane phrased the question in terms of ‘obituary,’ not the king of cum-ba-yah. He was responded to their question, not volunteering out of the blue some opinion on his opponent.
Besides, this seems a rather strange line to draw for what is considered ‘distasteful.’ Speaking idiomatically about the possible end of a campaign? Let’s try TN GOPs press release today- NOW THAT’S DISTASTEFUL.

Posted by: Smikulen | February 28, 2008, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm

Obama is extremely egotistical to talk about obituaries. I suppose that with the confidence he has, everything else is a foregone conclusion. Is this another tidbit to get the people in Ohio and elsewhere to throw in the towel and vote for him?
I hope that voters in Ohio and Texas Rhode Island, and Vermont are not watching CNN, MSNBC, and FOX, or else, they might think the election is already over.
Hillary is the most intelligent, knowledgeable, and experienced candidate for the solutions we need. She is tough, and we really do need to take this to the Convention. The Democratic Party has some cracks to mend. Crowning Obama King now will only make those cracks larger.

Did Obama say “She’s Not Dead Yet” ?
No, he said “it is way too early for anyone to write an obituary for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.” There is a difference between these two lines. I do not like media twisting a candidate’s line into something provocative. I do not like the words Hillary and death in the same sentence.
Go democrat. Go Obama.

I believe that the Obama camp called over there and told them that, I don’t believe it was a lie, It sounds like his way of doing things, remember the house deal what he said when it first came out, then changed his mind after more information came out,

Obama is saying it is not over until the fat man sing. I hope he win both states. I pray for a better america. Go Obama

Change the headline, ABC! I agree with Al–Obama never said that Senator Clinton is “not dead yet.” ABC News should chance this headline as soon as possible. Surely they can see how attributing this remark to Obama makes it seem like he is condoning this language that makes violence towards women seem like a light matter.

It is sickening at how many people seem to have forgotten history – if in fact they ever were taught — that with the Fifteenth Amendment ratified in 1870 black men were given the right to vote! It was not until 50 YEARS LATER with the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 that WOMEN were given the right to vote after only 36 states ratified this. FYI most of the southern states still did not ratify this amendment until — from Maryland in 1941 all the way to Mississippi in 1984!!!!!!!!!! So to all you female Obamabots who have helped set the feminist movement back a hundred years, thanks a lot! Probably in the lifetime of all of you there will not be another female qualified or even come close to breaking the “glass ceiling” in politics to run for president of the United States! WOMEN ARE STILL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HEAP! I don’t think the “young people” who are following Obama around like he is Martin Luther King have a clue about history! Black people will vote for him just because he is black. I believe the white people voting for him are still under the impression that a man is more qualified than a woman just because he is a man! SICK! The ONLY black person I have seen interviewed who is NOT for Obama is the congresswoman from Texas! Hooray for her! She evidently understands that experience DOES count and Clinton has the best experience.

Georgia,
Kings aren’t elected. They inherit their positions despite the will of the people. That happened in 2000; it shouldn’t happen in 2008. If Hillary wins more votes in the end, great, but enough of this sense of entitlement.

Posted by: Drew | February 28, 2008, 5:21 pm 5:21 pm

“Obama: She’s Not Dead Yet?”
Obviously words you placed in a candidate’s mouth.
This is where the news starts to confuse itself for manufacturer instead of distributor.
Just because it comes on the heels of TN GOP’s stupidity doesn’t make this smart. To plagiarise from Hillary …. shame on you.

Posted by: SE Croft | February 28, 2008, 5:22 pm 5:22 pm

The college students at the Austin University endorsed Hillary and they said something in their endorsement that I did not think anyone seemed to notice:
Her outline for a universal health care system is thorough and sound, while Obama unfairly exploits the resounding term “universal” in terms of his plan, which is voluntary and wouldn’t actually serve America in its entirety (like Social Security, policy can only be universal if it is mandatory).
He constantly calls his healthcare plan universal even while admitting it will not cover everyone. Universal = ALL and these college kids caught it.
I now have faith that there are college voters that are paying attention to more than the media “inspired” Obama hype, they are paying attention to the issues and what the candidates are saying.
Hillary for solutions, not hype 2008

Hello Americans Im from Norway. Ihv been following US election with interest. What most people seems not to understand about Senator Obama is that he is not a politician.
Senator Obama is a LEADER. And one must remember leaders are not born everyday. They have the quality to CHANGE the nations path!
I think he can will be a great president for USA and rest of the world.

Posted by: Rigel | February 28, 2008, 5:25 pm 5:25 pm

I find it funny that the Obama supporters are complaining about misleading headlines. We Clinton supporters have been enduring this type of unfair reporting for months. They’d better get used to it. They haven’t seen anything yet.

I agree with everything Jim said earlier on his comment..wake up women of this country and all others.Hillary is the toughest and most confident person to take this country where we need to go

You folks do recognize that the ‘not dead yet’ bit references the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, no? A good tip of the hat to the Python’s best film, and one of the all-time great in cinematic history
Come, come, keep up with the necessary pop culture references. Honestly.

This is not over yet!!!! Latinos in texas, a votar por Hillary!!!! She is the only one who will speak for us.
Obama is just a talker, remember what chavez did to venezuela. Obama will be worst: it will be like letting the janitor fly your plane, or letting the bucher operate on your childs future.

Did Obama used the term “obituary”? Or was it the reporter/writer? Get your facts straight, my friend.

Posted by: frankiestage | February 28, 2008, 5:29 pm 5:29 pm

Let me get this straight, Jim: Clinton has the best experience but she isn’t winning. Black people are voting for Barack ONLY because he’s black, and that’s wrong, but women should vote for Hillary because she’s a woman, and if they don’t THAT is wrong. And they’re setting back the cause of women’s suffrage (and feminism in general) because they aren’t voting for Hillary. It doesn’t matter whether or not individual women feel that Hillary Clinton is the best candidate or even the best female candidate for President, right? It only matters that YOU say she is, and women should vote the way you think they should vote… Because you’re Jim and you’re an expert in feminist history? Ladies, any takers? Anyone willing to subjugate their personal decision on who to vote for to Feminist Jim?

*********************
Obama has been on the receiving end of more than his fair share of apologies. Obama supporters need to stop whining everytime reality hits the Obama camp. It is almost like he is the teflon candidate. Nobody can say anything negative about him without being accused of being a racist or being “negative” or nasty.
He is nothing more than a candidate and the media needs to start holding him accountable for his words, mistatements, flip flops and campaign tactics. If they don’t do it now, they will do it during the general election and Dems will lose.

Obama already knows Hillary is in this all the way to the convention. He may seem arrogant, but I sense a bit of fear in him.

Posted by: Jay | February 28, 2008, 5:37 pm 5:37 pm

Why can’t we all get along? I’m African-American and I support Obama and not because he is black and recent anyone who would imply that. I’m support him because I’m sick of division. America is at her greatest when she stands united and I think he can do that. I love Hillary and Bill as well but they bring with the same divisions that we’ve always had. Let’s turn the page.

Obama afraid of Clinton? Are u joking? here’s a woman, a presumed front runner for the last one year, has 140 million, the media on her side and the dem party and she throws it all away by being 11 million in debt, losing 11 elections in a row-landslides to boot and a fractured dem party. She is lucky she is a clinton to still keep going on. I think anyone else in her place would have taken the high road and thought of unifying the party. And Obama is afraid? She cannot even keep her staff on the same page. they are already fighting and blaming each other for the losses to come. I live in TX and I am telling u don’t believe anyone who tells u she is going to win this state. not even close. he has a fantastic ground op and the Obama people call and urge voters to go to the polls. I have not recd. even one call from the Clinton camp. As for Sheila Jackson Lee who s supporting Hillary there is talk of oustng her in the next round of elections. Trust me, this woman is bad news. Obama is a leader who inspires, she is cold, calculating and has a multitude of personalties for us to choose from. I want consistency and leadership. As a woman I will NEVER vote for Hillary. Not now and not in the general.

If CTV stands by their story, maybe it will help their credibility if they named their source. What a joke.

Posted by: Kevin | February 28, 2008, 5:51 pm 5:51 pm

When will you guys ever get it? The president may be commander in chief, however he does not run the military. He does not come up with the battle plan. He does not point at the enemy and pull the trigger. He has advisers, yes people he picked and trusts, but they are advisors. The generals run the military. The defense secretary runs the department and ensures that there are appropriate resources to meet the need. A great many people run the war, but not the president.
The president does not negotiate trade deals; he has people to do that for him. The president does not run any department he has people to do that for him.
So what is his roll? He is the leader, the visionary. He is the person who inspires the country to greatness; he is the person who can bring people of different opinions together. The decision is this. Who is better able to inspire the country to greatness? Who is better to bring people of different opinions together?
Do you really think that senator Clinton can give up decades of partisan attacks to bring the country together? Do you think that senator McCain can give up years of supporting a misguided war to get the right people in place to end it?
When you hear reports of a pastor with anti Jewish beliefs, think about who is spreading the reports and their motives. The source is a political partisan hack that will never be able to agree that the other side has a good idea. These hacks will condemn the greatest idea if it comes from the other side, wait a couple of years and recycle it as their own, and then the other side will condemn it because that is the game.
Think for a second. Use that thing between your ears. Come up with your own thoughts. Stop listening to the guy who can shout the loudest while holding a bible close to his heart. The talk show hosts both left and right don’t care if the idea is good, or if the program will work. All they care about is partisan bickering. When has old rush ever agreed with a democrat? The talking head experts on the cable channels will never concede that the other side has the right idea, even when their party policy agrees with that idea. Stop being sheep and start thinking for your self. That was the message of Washington, Jefferson, Kennedy, and is now the message of Obama.

Wanda: when you pray you better pray hard because if Obama is elected the whole country will have to pray. And I mean pray that we don’t go into a disaster more than what Bush put us into. People better wake up before its too lake and its this generation like you that don’t vote for common sense but nonsense like Obama is shooting to the American people. Hillary just got 200,00 more donors which I believe will help her in her campaign. 66% of the Hispanics are for Hillary in Tesas compared to 34% for IObama.

Isnt’ it interesting that when Clinton downplayed her expectactions for South Carolina, the media all said she was running scared. Now when his holiness does the same thing, he’s just being practical. On another note, you Obama supporters really kill me. 99.99% of the time ABC is so up Obama’s butt you can’t see daylight — and you LOVE IT. But one insight into Obama and you hate ABC. You’re as bad as the republicans who bitch about the so-called “liberal media” on those very rare occasions they aren’t doing the Bush Administration’s bidding. You guys just don’t have the guts to call yourselves republicans. I’d respect you more if you did.

omg, I’m sorry y’all but one more thing:
“Audacity of Hope” is not something Obama’s Minister was preaching. It’s a phrase he used and Obama used it as his title for his book. The words in the book are his own, as are the words in his first book.
And if you must make up lies in your posts about Obama being a salesman then why don’t you at least look at the facts of your girl Clinton and remember that she was a corporate lawyer for Walmart. Walmart, you know, the corporation that doesn’t support unions and that treats women unfairly? yeah, that one.

Posted by: Heather | February 28, 2008, 6:21 pm 6:21 pm

This is getting kinda scarey. After the past administration, how can ANYONE choose to vote for a candidate OTHER THAN for what they have PROVEN they can bring to the table. Obama ran for IL Senate and before his first term was over, he ran for U.S. Senate and LOST. Since he lost he ran for a second term as an IL Senator. Obama’s experience is running for office. When I review his record, he see that in 8 years as an IL Senator he passed (as chief sponsor)about 32 bills. Is it a coincidence that 27 of those bills were passed when he was running for U.S. Senate. So, in his first 7 years as an IL Senate, Obama passed about 7 bills (in which he was chief sponsor). Please do not quote all of the bills he co-sponsored. In my opinion, bills that Obama has presented (chief sponsor) gives me more insight into the man.

I am with the others who think the blatant sexism against Hillary is disgusting. I don’t have a problem with women not voting for Hillary if you think her policies are not as good as Obama. But the truth is other than experience and health care the issues aren’t much different. When women fought for the right to vote they didn’t just fight men they had to fight idiot women who didn’t want things to change. They wanted the men to take care of them. Well I and many other women want to take care of ourselves! We are tired of being under represented in government!! Everything from health issues to wages to opportunities are denied women based on their sex. And by the way right now there is no feminist movement, but it just may get a revival before this election is over!!

Posted by: Firefighter | February 28, 2008, 6:28 pm 6:28 pm

Oh ye of little minds. So all of Hillary’s supporters are illiterates? Undereducated? We who support Hillary don’t have the ability to comprehend? Well, comprehend this. You will not win this election without the support of our illiterate, undereducated little votes. And we aren’t going to give them to you. Why? Not because we are illiterate, or undereducated. Because we don’t like Obama. We don’t trust Obama. We look around and wonder where is all this unity you keep preaching? Because we don’t see it. We damn sure don’t see anything you post on these blogs remotely as unifying. And if you people on these blogs are representative of this grand scheme of unity we will gladly take our votes elsewhere. You don’t need any of Hillary’s supporters to win the General Election anyhow, do you? That isn’t us you are talking to right? So since we are illiterate, undereducated, and just plain stupid, I would hate for us to NOT fulfill your stereotype, and we’ll just take all of our 11 million plus votes right straight to the OTHER candidate. Maybe they will appreciate our votes more than thee!

He’s not a messiah. He’s just smart and will surround himself with brilliant people like all presidents do. Important decisions by world leaders are made with a lot of sound advice from people who are educated on the issues. I’m sure Hillary will do the same. I just find him to be the more attractive candidate, thats all. Don’t have a heart attack over this, I’m sure your life will go on who ever becomes president. What are you doing to make this world better? Besides complain?

Posted by: Micke SF | February 28, 2008, 6:39 pm 6:39 pm

Frank: You said it all and I could never say it as good as you. Yes, I am voting for Hillary Clinton because I believe she is the one that could deal with our allies better than Obama who stated he would go over there without an announcement that he was coming. I know he has most of this country believing what every he says but his speeches are all copied from Patrick because he lacks the ability do create on his own. I am hoping for a win in TX and OH for her. So far, she is leading in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Hopefully it gets bigger.

The logical choice to move us forward. Please vote for Hillary…for the sake of moving our country forward…fixing the ecomony..bringing us jobs again….and prosperity in the world.

Senator Obama is correct in his thinking – although he should have used another word, maybe he’s used all his words.
And I agree with a lot of other posters, ABC News took great liberty with its headline but what’s new about that when talking about either candidate, the difference this time is the headline works against BO not for him as it usually does.

Posted by: Susan | February 28, 2008, 7:01 pm 7:01 pm

I am just curious. With Senator Lewis’logic–does this mean Kerry and Kennedy will vote for Senator Clinton? I believe the good people need to let both gentlemen know that that is what we expect of them.

Posted by: Happy2B | February 28, 2008, 7:08 pm 7:08 pm

I got the feeling that the Clintons are now preparing to accept their debacle and setting the media for the blame later. Hill’s continued whining on
her campaign stump will not earned her any more votes and might even turn-off
her potential voters. If she is that smart, and I don’t believe she is, then
her stump should not be about whining. Her accusation of media bias did not
reflect reality and their continued delusion that they are well loved and verypopular. Bloomberg’s announcement of not seeking the presidency is actually a
concession that his candidacy is co-terminus with Hill’s run, because he just can’t let Hill become the president. Another thing that the Clintons didn’t know about is that they are suffering from MADD – Media Adulation Deficit Disorder, resulting in her becoming a Whiner !
With Super delegates now slowly trekking into Barack’s camp, it is very
likely that she will again suffer another humiliating defeat in Texas and OH next week. Lewis have officially switched and this would have a net effect of 2 on the delegate count.

Posted by: wilson | February 28, 2008, 7:15 pm 7:15 pm

Hill was finally able to point the only truth she hurled against Barack in the last debate – Barack’s chairmanship of subcommittee on Europe and she uses his run for the presidency for failing to hold hearing. This is pure sour grapes for his presidential run have upset her own coronation and so should not have run on her turn ! At the same time, she keeps peddling her lies on the release of her WH papers going to be delayed by Bush ! Then there is her Hillarycare that she on record used the euphemism of “some mechanism” applied to a worker’s wage in order to carry out a mandatory enrollment. ABC news forced her to tacitly admit it was “WAGE Garnishment” which she is denying in the debate ! What a gal with the gall to pretend it was not so. No wonder she is considered the boy who cried wolf that the voters are already immune to her claims and just mind their own business ! She have already known that she have a high negative mark and blaming the media bias will be overlooking her negativity !
With her $35 million raised funds for February, it maybe too late to make any difference to her once bankrupt campaign as her campaign gleefully announced now. It just highlights how inexperienced and incompetent she really was, yet was so boastful with her slogan of “Ready on Day 1″. How could she claim to be ready when she can’t see how her campaign have floundered under her very detail oriented management campaign promise ? She is the real Talker and never a Doer.

Happy, they should. But are they? Doubt it!!
We, as Clinton supporters, have the power to keep Obama out of the White House. Think about that one!

Boy its nice to be a Hillary supporter..She is a real smart woman and with Bill to help her out we get 2for1(Obama supporters no cheap shots) I think this country needs a woman to clean up the mess we are in..I think we have reached the bottom of the barrel with GW..I know the Obama supporters are too much in love with the voodoo crap he dishes out..All the Hillary haters whether men or women should be ashamed of themselves for all the hate and venom they spew out everyday..The whole world is watching our elections with great interest because they know that if we fail they fail too..We have some very serious issues that words and talk of change cannot overcome..This constant bickering by the Obama supporters clearly indicate that you are either little children or just too darn dumb to face reality..This is not a popularity contest and Obama is all gab and no go…I watched the debate and he danced around many questions like a little boy…He is very good at twisting words and when he gets caught he claims they were taken out of context…This clearly indicates he is immature and not fit to be in this campaign at all..He is too arrogant and thats because his supporters are equally arrogant and and need to take a time out and try to find out who he really is…The media has put him on a pedestal and from there he sees his supporters as little folks who will believe anything he says..Its nice of you folks to call us Hillary supporters illiterate and stupid just goes to show how equally stupid you are too..He played the race card well and now even the blacks who pledged support for Hillary are switching over to Obama because of race too..If you really thinks he gives a rats tail about you then go ahead and vote for him because we Hillary supporters may be deemed stupid but we never fell for the voodoo crap and saw through the smoke and mirrors a long time ago..This year i`m going for the race card and votin for Hillary as she is certainly the best candidate in this historic election…Go Hillary….

georgia, WestCoastMessenger
Did you see “obituary” in quotes attributed to Senator Obama?
MAYBE ‘OBITUARY’ IS TAKING JOURNALISTIC LIBERTY WITH WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID???
In any case, The Clintons lost the nomination for their THIRD TERM SINCE IOWA!
The Clintons are just being punished (punishing themselves really) with a drawn out campaign; because they are devious, deceptive, disingenuous, lying, unprincipled and WITHOUT INTEGRITY!

Miriane; thanks for making the point of my argument for me much better than I could ever have. You are accepting the garbage tossed out by the partisan hacks and accepting it a as truth. for your information a quick check of the facts show that senator obamah’s advisors include people of many ethnic groups. your fear and resentment of one man, Louis Farrakhan, is unreasonable. you do not know his beliefs, i doubt if you have even visited the nation of islam web site. while i do not support many of his beliefs, i do support some of his projects, such as the million man march, this project demanded that men take responsibility for their actions. why don;t you do the research yourself, as i have done, then reach your conclusions. do not take the press releases from the candidates at face value. understand the motivation of the talking heads with their latest piece of Gotya news. realize that the talk show hosts have a financial stake in keeping americans devided. stop being a sheep and do the research and then make your decision. from your posts it seems that you get most of your information from talk show hosts and tabloid journalists. by the way i am a 45 year old: white; catholic male of irish descent. in my humble opinion barack obamah is what the entire world needs at this point in time, i only hope enough people share my point of view.

Senator O – if you are such a uniter, how about calling a stop to Hillary-hating instead of encouraging it?
As for African-Americans who insist that they are not voting for Obama because of his race: why then are 90% of African-Americans voting for him? He has many white supporters – why does Hillary have so few black ones? Is it because her civil rights record is somehow weak? (Nope.) Sorry, but the case for a diversity of African-American viewpoints is not supported by the facts. Kudos to those who have the courage to look past color and support the qualified candidate.

east village. african american’s are voting for obama because of his message of hope. they are supporting him because he has inspired them. if there is one ethnic group in the united states that is begging for hope it is the african american ethnic group. look at the statistics. just today it was released that 1 in 100 americans are behind bars, is that hope? 1 in 9 african american males is behind bars, is that hope? does senator clinton inspire hope? does senator clinton make you want to improve your lot and that of others around you? does senator clinton make you feel that you can effect change in your home, your neighbor hood, your city, your state, your country. senator obama’s slogan of yes we can is a rallying cry, it makes you want to get up off of the couch and get to work. senator clinton’s slogan of hillary for president doesn’t have the same ring to it. you may want someone to solve your problems for you, senator obama makes me want to solve my problems for my self, and then go out and help my fellow man.

The reason so many continue to donate to Hillary and don’t want her to even consider dropping out is that we pray Texas and Ohio voters will do what the rest of the country has been too infatuated to do….vote based on who the MOST QUALIFIED candidate for President of the United States is, not who the press wants. I imagine many Republicans wish Mitt Romney had stayed in with the kind of week McCain had last week. The results of Obama’s obvious lack of qualifications for this most important office are sure to surface, but unfortunately for the country, this may happen to late. Texas and Ohio, please do your civic duty proudly and based on issues, not just which way the popular or politically correct wind is blowing.
It would be so interesting to see Clinton make fools of all of the pundits and stage a comeback; then we would see a lot of those fence jumping superdelegates and “Democratic Old Guard” scramble back to what they think is the winning side. If I were the Clintons, I would certainly have a long memory on who helped make up, spin and fan the racial garbage that helped propel Obama ahead to begin with.
If people could put their ridiculous biases about the Clintons aside (many of these people benefited greatly during the 90s)they would be able to see what a smart and determined lady she is. As so many have said, it is still perfectly acceptable to be sexist, just not racist and it makes me ill to think about the men and WOMEN who just don’t want a woman to be President. They make up these other lame excuses rather than admit their petty jealousy. I have actually researched her record, and despite what many think, she has done MANY things in her public service career to help everyone. How many Hillary bashers know how hard she has worked for children, including children with special needs? How many know how hard she worked for the people of New York after 911 with no cameras around, or how she implemented the Children’s Health Insurance? It takes someone who genuinely cares about people to get them done, and yes, someone who can FIGHT for them. John Edwards understood it takes a fighter, not a philosopher, to get things done. Unfortunately, women are held to a completely different set of expectations than men. People in this country deserve what they get if they elect another unqualified, power hungry wannabee who can’t come up with an answer unless someone tells him what it is or reads it off of a teleprompter. Being a nice guy just doesn’t do it.

Hillary is the BEST person for President, Obama is nothing more than HYPE.. HYPE doesnt last forever!
Obama has no experience and has too many ties to certain people that leaves many unsettled… Far too many people are NOT looking into Obama, and are only looking at the HYPE..
Vote for Experience and someone with a back bone who can stand up and fight for America and its people, Hillary Clinton is the only one who fits that bill.!!!!.!!!!!!

Obama is running off the energy created by the Hype of the young college kids. College kids look at Obama as some sort of rock star mainly because he will host rock concerts and has movie stars around for this young group, its a political stunt by him to capture thier votes. Obama does not have what it takes to run our country, Hype doesnt solve problems, and if he gets it, Hype will only create problems.
Hillary Clinton has stood up and fought for people over the years and hasnt backed down, I put my trust in Hillary for President, because she offers what our country is in need of.. A Fighter!

I have been so frustrated for the last few weeks reading all the negative stuff written about Hillary on CNN, New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, basically everywhere, even in the NY Times who endorses her. Both my husband and I are extremely articulate, well-educated (Masters and PhD) and surprise! we are NOT Obama supporters. I think the political process will prove it works if in this time lapse, the public given time to observe and weigh the qualification of the candidates, will make the right decision. I am sincerely hoping that the people of Ohio and Texas and Rhode Island and Vermont will intelligently select the right candidate. That in my opinion is Hillary. She is brilliant, knowledgable and profoundly steeped in the depths of politics and I have great faith in her strength as a political wonk and woman to lead this country. So folks, let’s get it together and get Hillary nominated. Oh, and all the above mentioned media never published my blogs (they would immediate flash “must verify that there is no inappropriate content” (such as I’m a Hillary supporter, not an Obama-swooner)

Whites were the first slaves of America, why dont you push for a White History month? If you did, would you be racist? I have found that with this race, it has opened my eyes and has found Blacks to be more racist then any other. You can not tell me Blacks by 90% all agree that Obama is the best candidate. With 90% of blacks voting for Obama, its about race and nothing more. Because he lacks in everything for being a President!

Thanks for putting that all together. Anyone who says she has not been treated terribly by the so called press is delusional. (Maybe when this is over, Hillary should sue them all for sexual harrassment – bet it wouldn’t be so funny then.

Obama has finally shown his serpant’s tooth. The press has built this Spoiled Brat up to a saint and cult leader, now since he is invincible, he can use any kind of low language and get away with it. JUST IMAGINE HILLARY SAID THAT, SHE WOULD BE LABELLED AS THE QUEEN OF NEGATIVITY IN NO TIME. BUT I DARE BET YOU THERE WILL NOT BE ANY MENTION OF OBAMA’S QUASI GUTTER WORDS IN TV REPORTS. ABC DESERVES OUR RESPECT BECAUSE IT REPORTS EVERYTHING, NOT JUST NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT HILLARY AND POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT OBAMA. I TRUST ABC NOW MORE THAN OTHERS.

Obama is right to not count Clinton out. Her supporters aren’t fickle or fair-weather blowing the way of the wind. They are strong and steadfast, like Hillary. Obama is a great orator, and a very sharp one. -Not to be discounted in the least, including these remarks designed to get out the most votes possible for himself. -Very smart politically. Clinton is a brilliant representative of the needs of every day Americans, even those that don’t support her. She still supports them and fights for them. Now that is a president of the people and for the people.

WHAT A CONTRAST! HILLARY WAS SO MODEAT COMPARED WITH THIS ARROGANT OBAMA WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE JUST LIKE BUSH NOW. HILLARY SAID ON PBS THAT SHE RAISED A MILLION A DAY. SHE IS UNDERESTIMATING HER SUPPORT. $35 MILLION DIVIDED BY 28 IS FAR MORE THAN A MILLION A DAY. OBAMA WOULD HAVE PROCLAIMED HE HAS GOT $2 MILLION A DAY IF HE GOT THE SAME CONTRIBUTIONS AS HILLARY HAS.

Trouble is, folks, Obama’s got the kids brainwashed. These are a part of our society who don’t really care about real politics, so a lot of them don’t have a clue about issues, don’t want to kknow and often don’t even vote, but now that they have an Idol to worship, they obediently march to the polls and put the checkmark in the place they have been brainwashed to. And a lot of them are convincing their parents and aunts and uncles (who know they should know better, but just want to be cool). This is a scary prospect. He is using these young people, molding their minds just for the vote. I hope Hillary prevails. Also what job do you think Uncle Teddy and John Kerry have their eyes on.

I am so happy to hear that Senator Clinton is coming back again. I just finish reading about her greatest achievement while she was a first lady of Arkansas during the 80s. It is wonderful to know as to how she worked so tirelessly to turn around the abysmal educational system of Arkansas to a successful program. Most of your achievements are the evidence of measurable change that you brought for the people who were needing them the most. Way to go girl!!! We will be there to support you all the way.

Posted by: Herm | February 28, 2008, 8:49 pm 8:49 pm

Obama didn’t say obituary, the press did. He said the race was still close, and he’s not counting her out. Don’t see how this can be anything other than complimentary to Hillary Clinton. It’s razor-thin and either one could easily pull out both states. If she wins, she wins and they keep going. If she loses, then we have to start asking will she pull out.

Posted by: john | February 28, 2008, 8:52 pm 8:52 pm

REAL CHANGE: After being ruled for 232 years by men, the only REAL CHANGE for the United States would be to have a woman rule the country. So if anyone is really serious about bringing change to Washington, the logical and legitimate thing to do on its behalf would be to vote for a woman to be the next president of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Posted by: Benjamin O'Hara | February 28, 2008, 8:53 pm 8:53 pm

It seems to me like the Hillary supporters are the ones with all the anger. Obama supporters have been polite and respectful to Hillary throughout. So the question is why do you all hate Obama so much? And making fun of the “kids” hasn’t worked so far, so you should really stop. If she wins, which she easily could, she’ll need Obama supporters bad.

Posted by: john | February 28, 2008, 8:57 pm 8:57 pm

It is a little late in the game for Obama or his supporters to try the but I really admire you game, He is just trying to play nice cause he thinks he has won, and he knows he can’t get the whitehouse without hilliary supporters. someone needs to clue, mr clueless, that we will never support him

Posted by: pespiloverforever | February 28, 2008, 9:01 pm 9:01 pm

Let’s try to remember, any of us voting on the issues, will end up having to vote for the other Democratic candidate when this race is over. We will have to pull together to defeat the machinery of our opponent, which will be bigger and stronger than what either of the Democratic candidates if facing now. So, let’s build up our own candidate, keep the “attacks,” if necessary, healthy and impersonal. I believe Hillary is the best candidate. I believe if every American has their say, that Hillary will be the nominee. I believe that since it is so close, it is unjust to America to even consider a victory by any means settled. I also believe we need to remember we have a united purpose in the end run, our issues that our candidates believe in. Hillary has been given unfair press coverage… as usual, and she is still a formidable opponent who should win the nomination. Her class and loyalty, even to those proven disloyal, should speak to all of us.

Posted by: yael | February 28, 2008, 9:01 pm 9:01 pm

Posted by: pespiloverforever | February 28, 2008, 9:08 pm 9:08 pm

Yes!Yes!Yes! I want to remember the Clinton Years and here’s why: During the administration of Bill Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in the history of the United States. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in this country’s history, dropping crime rates in many places and reduced welfare rolls. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. During his administration Bill Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination. Most of the Obama supporters were too young to remember this piece of history and the blacks have chosen not to remember. I remember, as do the other millions of Hillary supporters. Hillary Clinton is the only candidate that will do what she promises she will do.

I am a Hillary Supporter all the way. At the start of this race I said to many people, sure if someone beats Hillary I will support whoever goes onto Nov. But that all has changed with how I have seen Obama and his supporters act. I am Hillary 200% but IF she doesnt make it to Nov. I will be voting for McCain, never would I vote for Obama. But Hillary is still in this and I have faith that she can come back and win it!!!!!

Guess I was unclear. Hillary will win. And if any of Obama’s supporters are voting on the issues, then they will be backing her in a short time. So the rhetoric might need to be toned down a bit.

Posted by: yael | February 28, 2008, 9:24 pm 9:24 pm

“…I believe we should be the nominee,” Obama said.” What I want to know is who is the “we” that Obama keeps referring to. I have heard him use “we” consistently throughout his campaign and it makes me very suspicious that he will not be the one running the country if he is elected President. You should listen very closely to this man and ask yourself who is he and who is the backstage director?

Posted by: Ariadne Green | February 28, 2008, 9:27 pm 9:27 pm

Actually , I think Barack Obama wants these debates with Hillary Clinton to continue, because without listening to her answers on tough questions, and just saying,” I agree with Hillary,” he will finally have to deal with thinking on his own two feet.
B.O. has not been able to do that just yet. He is a wonderful speaker( with a written speech in hand), but he truly sucks when it comes to debate.
Once the Republicans get their hands on him, and he goes up against John McCain, he will fumble the ball, and McCain will take it from him.
It will be truly humiliating, and then B.O. will know what it really means to run for president. HE HAS NO IDEA at this point.
The other sad part is that if the Democratic party cannot find a way to put these two together on the same ticket, Clinton supporters will head over to McCains camp.
Why? because we already know what happens when you put someone in the White House because they are “charismatic and likeable.” That is EXACLTY what they said about George Bush, and look what he has done to this country?!!
Hillary Clinton can take on McCain and win. She has the knowledge, experience, and certainly knows how to debate.
Give this powerful lady a chance. SHE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. I am sure she will have Barack as her Vice President, and then he can learn the ropes, and one day be ready for President. Today is not that day.

Not just a capaign to be elected. It is based on reality, like votes, and records, and things he has accomplished??? Oh yea, there were go again–no real accomplishments to speak of.

The republicans are all chatting, it’s going to be easier to beat the young inexperience,black man, then the smart white woman. The Rebulicans are laughing all the way to the election booths.
The bias press hasn’t helped. Back in the day , If a candiate was claiming CHANGE and he had the old guard standing behind him ,someone in the free press might of questioned him.The Press has just been too nice, I like him too but come on nice is just nice where is the substance? The Press is just walking on eggs . not asking the hard questions they’ve gone soft, to busy being politically correct trying not to make enemies in case Obama gets in and they won’t get an interview
Senator Clinton hasn’t gotten Fair coverage.
Example Senator Clinton wanted years ago , to help get a healthcare plan for the US, back then the good old boys didn’t want a woman ,let alone another Democrat to go down in history as to finding a solution to the most devastating crisis that faces America today,HEALTHCARE. She at least wanted to tried to clean up Nixon’s Mess (HMO’S).Now it’s just to late ,We’re stuck with his mess because he wanted the insurance companies to make some money.
The ecomony is in ruin because no corporations,industries or businesses do not want and really cannot afford to pay for healthcare benifits. Yet nobody wants to talk about it, It’s like having an elephant in the room and let’s pretend it’s not there so we don’t have to talk about it. Senator Clinton has realized this has been an issue for many years.
She understands first hand, that we have the best hospitals , the best doctors,and healthcare professionals in the world, but Americans can’t access the system or navigate it easily, or pay for it completely. Senator Clinton has battled insurance companies for the 911 First Responders, who are still suffering today. She will fight for the auto workers, who are the next to loose retiree benifits, or anyone else who going to be out of a job.She knows “No One with Illness should be Left Behind”
The Free press is gone, their were no issues covered ,just the yada ,who likes who and what they were wearing and how they looked and what they sounded like Come on! Ordinary Americans are not idiots .We want the facts Jack , but nobody out there in TV Press land is asking! It’s just personalities contest and ratings war. No reporters.
Their afraid they’ll lose the next interview and then their jobs and then they will have no healthcare benefits! I guess I can’t blame them , but Maybe they should re-think their coverage of Hilary?

First of all, Senator Obama mentioned in the debate in Ohio that he would renegotiate NAFTA with the president of Canada. Uhhh, last time I checked, they have a Prime Minister buddy. It’s one thing to not know about who’s running the show in some small country but this is our neighboring country CA-NA-DA. Does he even know what NAFTA is?? unreal.

Posted by: vinnie | February 28, 2008, 10:07 pm 10:07 pm

Why would anyone possibly doubt Obama?
This is the same guy who says he represents new politics and not tied to
lobbyists and corporations. Does he really think his supporters are that stupid? That information is public and easily accessible on the internet. His top 20 contributors consist of Wall Street firms and registered lobbyists.
Seven of those Wall Street firms are implicated in the sub-prime mortgage scandals. Loans which have accounted for 55% of the loans to Blacks and 17% to Whites. Where Hispanics are 2x more likely to have one than Whites. Where women are 30% more likely to have one than men. One of his contributors, Citigroup, had a former employee testify that it was standard practice to target people based on race and educational level. Clinton is the only one who has called for a moratorium on foreclosures and an interest rate freeze for 5 years on these shady loans.
Obama voted against capping credit card interest rates at 30%, whereas Clinton did not. Just 14 of his corporate contributors alone brought into his campaign $2,872,128. They contribute that money just because he has charisma? Do they want change that benefits you? And it should be mentioned 3 of his paid staff are registered lobbyists. Don’t delude yourself into thinking he’s not a corporate candidate, the only one who isn’t is Nader. And why would you ever think the Obama campaign hasn’t/won’t play dirty politics when his campaign is filled with ex-Clinton campaign staff and we all know how Obama supporters feel about Clinton campaigns. There is nothing in his record to show political courage or fight whatsoever. His one pony show his campaign is based on, his non-support of Iraq before he was in a position to vote, that political courage disappeared the minute he got in the Senate and cast his first vote to confirm Condoleeza Rice. At least Clinton’s a fighter. For someone on the political scene such a short time he certainly entrenched himself in the old politics quite comfortably and soon. There is no hope for change with Obama.

Have we fallen so far from grace? Golda Meir, fourth prime minister of the State of Israel, and the lady of iron, shed many tears. So did President Mary Robinson of Ireland and President Mary McAleese of Ireland along with Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. I could list so many more as well as many men leaders. Would you make fun of them?
You criticize an honest emotion? You’d be better to examine you own respond to a show of emotion. Do not acquaint the ability to shed a tear or have your eyes well up with emotion with being weak. What is in your heart that a simple tear and show of emotion threatens you? It takes a whole lot of love and courage to openly shed a tear and to show emotion. Hillary Clinton has stood and fought for years to serve this country and for the privilege to help lead this country.

9 of the states Senator Obama won have voted Republican for the last 4 Presidential elections (1992, 1996, 2000, 2004). Two others have been carried by the Republican in three of the last four Presidential elections. Do we really think this will CHANGE?
This “success” is the biggest hoax played on the American public in years.
States carried by the Republican in all four elections
Alabama
Alaska
Idaho
Kansas
Nebraska
North Dakota
South Carolina
Utah
Virginia
States carried by the Republican in three of the four elections
Colorado

georgie – maybe it isn’t over, but if you plan on helping Hillary win the nomination, you better pull better than a 10 point win in Ohio.
Hillary will need to pick up a net of 60-70 delegates Tuesday just to have a shot at getting back in this. You’ve got a long weekend to help make that happen. Good luck.

When all the African Americans have shown solidarity behind their candidate can you imagine eventually what will happen. He will be pressured to release some of them. Brace yourself for more crime. I have already heard some talks in that industry.

ABC’S COMMENTS; HILLARY IS NOT DEAD, but realistically…Hillary will not win. Why have Hillary be the nominee if Hillary has no chance against Republicans?

Posted by: GLO | February 28, 2008, 11:29 pm 11:29 pm

This is what Obama said: “Sen. Clinton is working tirelessly, as is Bill Clinton, in Ohio and Texas,” Obama said. “This race is extraordinarily tight.” — the headlines “She’s not dead yet” were written by ABC to attract your attention.

Joy, brava!!! i’ll also take my illiterate, uneducated (attorney) vote to mccain, after voting for every dem since mcgovern. but i’m sure the obamaites will just assume it’s because i’m stupid. guess what, obamaites, it’s not very smart to insult people whose votes you want. and it wasn’t very smart of obama to say he’s sure we’ll vote for him but not sure his supporters would vote for hillary. we won’t vote for him. he’ll (probably) be the nominee, but he definitely won’t be president.

Posted by: so saddened | February 28, 2008, 11:38 pm 11:38 pm

BESTPRESIDENT: your comments are out of line….and do not go to the race theme… One of the news shows today reported that ..when Hillary was an intern as a lawyer she worked to free the Black Phanters. I do not have the full story…so I will stop here, but maybe you should find more about that story.
My apologies to other readers. I want to convey to the person writing under the name ‘bestpresident’ that ethnic group or gender are not the issues of this campaign. Bill Clinton tried to go there with his comments about Reggie Jackson and his comments were a detriment to Hillary’s campaign.

I see such passion from so many posting to blogs and boards like this one. Let’s stop being lemmings and put that passion to good use. Vote Smart! Search those words to find the unbiased one-stop factual resource for all candidates – research at your fingertips: bios, issues, interest group ratings, voting records, accomplishments, campaign funding sources… all independent of the MSM and the candidates themselves. You just might be amazed how empowered you will feel with the real facts at your disposal!

Hillary is simply the best!!!
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. is made by a Madison Avenue Ad agency. Their marketing department came up with signs that say “Change”, because they realized that his name turns people off. Haven’t you noticed that all his signs say the word “change”? Karl Rove is the one who came up with the idea for the republicans to vote for him, because they know that most of Hillary’s supporters WILL NOT vote for Barack. Please call my brother in the O.C., Ca. and he’ll tell you all about Karl Rove’s plan, because he is a republican and he voted for Barack…and hates him!!! Oh, and by the way, tell him that I think he’s a jerk because I’m not speaking to him!
GO HILLARY!!!!

I can see Barack Hussein Obama and his cult could say “She’s Not Dead Yet” ?” for HRC, because he has used derogatory language towards Hillary Clinton many times. Actually he is very sexist. If anything to say to him it will be racist and they will protest but these politician and media slap women every minute and we have to tolerate, what kind of democracy we have, ups!

ABC like the rest of the television news media report stories that are not factual, because the people they hire to report the news are neither seasoned journalists, nor good fact checkers. Thank God there is the internet, where people can research, read and find out the truth themselves.
We still have 30 million Americans who neither read nor write. Unfortunately, they can only get their news from biased and misleading television and radio personalities. We have many other citizens who cannot listen, remember the campaign lies of people running for office, nor learn anything new. They are too filled with zealous hatred and partisan contempt.
With a biased media, we got a dishonest election in 2000 and 2004. There was no investigation by the media of WMD. They
reported whatever the White House said as if it were factual. We currently have a president who is inoculated from bad news by his staff. Whatever happens with the outcome of the primaries, neither Barack Obama nor Hilary Clinton will fall asleep at the switch.
Hilary has proven divisive, devious and sad. I used to respect her. Now I know she has no people management skills(the internal fights in her campaign),no economic skills(she can’t handle a budget), delusional(mistakes parody on SNL for voters’support)believes she should win because she is white and female(Bill owes her for his infidelity, not the country),has no hope,no vision, no leadership skills nor wisdom to inspire the nation. I applaud her work on Children’s issues, but if you look closely at her Senate record, it is underwhelming to the extreme.
John McCain is a former soldier who has shown a lack of integrity in voting to torture prisoners, has promised to make Bush’s tax cuts permanent in order to pander to the right wing of his party, and will lead us into war with Iran.
The bright light we have is the American people who are once again reminded that politicians are working for us, not the other way around, and they will vote in droves in November. The country will not go back to 4 more years of recession,constant tension, and continued economic and social decline.
As for ABC, their prowess can be diminished by simply changing the channel, and complaining to their advertisers. Thank God for freedom of choice and of speech in America.

to whomever said all the great presidents had advisors and did not need to run anything, take a history lesson here. kennedy went against all his advisors in the cuban missile crisis and if he had not we would have been in world war three. Kennedy had experience too when we elected him.he had held political office for thirteen years by then and was a decorated war hero who commanded a pt boat in WWII. we did not elect an unproven leader. most of kennedy’s great speeches were done after he was in office. Roosevelt was also a long term political holder when elected. Obama does not have the experience to be president. “the buck stops here” is much more than an expression, it is the truth. the president is the last word on most issues as congress seldom vetoes a veto, and war decisions are handed to the military only after the war has begun. the “commander-in-chief” means just that.Obama has many ties to undesirable elements outside of this country. those ties may be only financial but i would not want to risk our security on it. It also takes more than finesse to deal with other leaders, it takes iron and steel as well, Hillary has both. She is the much more qualified candidate in this race.Her supporters will never vote for obama if he gets the nomination, because they chose their candidate based on her qualifications, and obama does not meeet their standards. they will vote elsewhere. In closing, just a note to all who believe Hillary’s supporters are uneducated and ignorant. I hold three college degrees and am considered educated by most standards. My family, all clinton supporters, consists of a computer programmer, a dentist, a restaurant manager/auditor, a maintenance man, a factory worker, and an ironworker. That is a picture of America as a whole.I think we cover every category. Please keep in mind that education is no measure of intelligence. In most cases it is a measure of opportunity Smart people are able to study the issues and choose a candidate. Education does not guarantee that ability, as seen by the college students and supposedly educated people in the obama camp. I and my family are supporting Hillary because, whether educated or not respectively, we all possess the ability to see the best and most qualified candidate is hillary. she knows foreign policy, she is warm, compassionate, has proven in many arenas that she is able, and most importantly of all, I am 100% positive that hillary knows Canada has a Prime Minister, not a President. That, in my opinion, is rather important if you want to be the leader of the free world!!! Go Hillary”08

Presidential experience is just that presidential experience. There is no experience that prepares you to be president. Passing bills in the senate doesn’t give you experience to be the leader of the free world. Abraham Lincoln one of our greatest presidents never even held a seat in Senate nor was he a Governor. Being president is about character and judgment.

BO misrepresented HRC on his campaign ad pieces for OH. Not only that, but he misrepresented his own past positions. He had a chance to correct this oversight and he didn’t. Is this short-term memory loss due to campaign fatigue or what does this say about his ethics and integrity?

Posted by: Bobo | February 29, 2008, 3:03 am 3:03 am

I have watched this election year with great interest since this is the last year of King George’s reign and thank God for that. Bush is the stupiest man I think I have ever seen except maybe Chris Dodd who I admired for a while endorisng King Hussein Obaman or maybe the Black Congressman Lewis from Georgia who switched his allegiance like an Indian giver. If he was for Hillary in the first place, what happened. She hasn’t changed. Just another one jumping on the band wagon because he felt Hillary’s ship was sinking. BS. Yo Bama was right. hillary isn’t dead yet. She will win Texas and Ohio and this will go to the Convention like it should. I recall an election where a certain Gary Hart had won many primaries and everyone had annointed him then a certian Walter Mondale won the party’s nomination.
This isn’t over and I hope for this country’s sake that Hillary wins this thing. Obama is a muslim in disquise has a christian. He is a liar and a copy cat with his sayings which he isnt saying much at all anyway. Any fool can say we need change. what else is new. Everyone knows we need change but what change. He isnt clear. all his speeches are the same and I agree with the writer who says that our little votes from undereducated people as they put us dont count. Well they will count. The only way that I would ever vote for Obama is if Hillary gets the nom and he is VP pick. If He gets Nom, I will vote for John MacCain. At least I know what Im getting with Mccain. Obama will ruin this counrty. He is not qualified to be persident

Reading a few of these post, I’ve come to the conclusion what at least part of the disagreement is about. Living in the UK now, I’ve been taught the difference between head of state and head of the government. In the UK the monarch is the head of state, but the prime minister is the head of government. Obama supporter tend to see president as head of state, while Clinton supporters see it as head of government. It is, in fact, both, but I for one think the head of government function of it is much more important. Yes, presidents get lots of help, but they have to in the end make the final decision. Obama could easily serve in an inspirational role as a VP getting at the same time the valuable on the job training to get him ready for the top job in a later election.

I am always very skeptical about candidates who are about unity. What’s the easiest way to obtain unity? Suppress opposition. And we’ve already seen previews of this. Every time anyone is critical of him it is classed as ‘usual Washington politics”.
In general when I bought Obama’s book, I really wanted to be able to get behind him, but the more I read it–wow!! Particularly if you think of him as progressive, I highly suggest reading his book to find out what he is really about before voting for him.
When MLK got up and said, “I have a dream.” He followed it with telling you what that dream was about.
Let me remind you also that there arose a good leader in Germany in 1933 who spoke of unifying the country too. I can well understand America wanting this. When I country’s economy has been ruined by a war, and their national image is low, this is what they look for.
When it seems too good to be true it probably is.

for those women who think that we are setting the feminist movement back simply because we support a male candidate is incredibly sexist. you are setting yourselves back with that backwards line of thinking. i support a candidate based on character, integrity, accomplishments, and what i perceive to be the candidate’s ability to successfully lead our nation. i don’t consider the candidate’s race or gender. As a minority, I, too, would like to see a woman or an Asian-American represent me and others like me in the highest executive position of our nation. But, to cast your support for a candidate simply because she is a woman does nothing for the feminist movement. Furthermore, Sen. Obama has proven himself to be a better executive through his successful management of his presidential campaign. Sen. Clinton’s campaign has been a train wreck since the upstart. Her arrogance and incompetence impeded her success in this campaign. Such lack of competence does not belong in the white house.

Why does HRC’s New Hampshire win keep coming up as an example of her ability for potential upset wins now? The Clinton Political Machine poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into that N.H. race, bussed folks in from out of state, flooded the airways with ads to win and did squeak out a small victory. Seven weeks later, Texas and Ohio are not N.H. Remember, Hillary ha lead in the National Polls then as well but not now.
I own a house in Texas and have lived there for years. Bad news for HRC supporters — HRC is not going to pull the “rabbit out of a hat” and have an upset win. Texas is going to be an open primary where Republicans and Independents can vote for Obama too. I doubt HRC is going to get very many of their votes, either.
Sorry Hillary, Tuesdeay is not going to be your day. Continue to play the role of loser and spoiler in the Democratic Party. Send Bill to PA, so he can help you lose your lead there as ell.

@Christine | Feb 28, 2008 10:35:36 PM: You make a very good point about the 11 states that have gone to Senator Obama. Folks, this gave him tremendous momentum, but it is by no means a mandate for his nomination. The support of those states will be washed away in the general election when those go back to being red states.
No matter what the outcome of the March 4 primaries/caucuses, Senator Obama will still not have the 2,025 delegates needed to win the party’s nomination. So, why should Hillary back out when the vote is relatively split? A leader *should* continue to fight for their goals and we shouldn’t expect (nor want) anything less from Senator Clinton.

With the race for nomination between Hillary and Obama is so highly contested and Obama acting like he is already nominated, it will be extremely difficult for him to win the general election against McCain without the support of Hillary. I am sure his therapeutic rhetoric will not be enough to carry him to White House but Hillary appeares to be a caring person(not vindictive like Mrs. Obama), she sure will assist him to reach his goal.
