Clinton: What’s All This Clinton-Obama Ticket Talk?

She just insulted you man. Go figure it out.

What’s Bizarre Jake? I thought it was an honest answer. The media ( you guys) are the ones blowing it all out of proportion. Mrs. Clinton said it could be a possibility. She never said she would pick Obama as her VP , should she win the nomination. The MSM just carried it, and slanted it, and BIG MOUTH BHO, got into it, and now it’s a snowball in hell… Typical news day.

I remember trying to defend her old man for 8 years. So glad when that mess ended. Not going to put myself through that again. There is a reason he was impeached, it wasn’t the Vast right wing conspiracy.

Hillary explaining why she’s at a pizzeria: Its not that I like pizza. I just like to eat at a pizzeria and chew pepperonis. -that notion has taken a life of its own.

They should nominate Obama for President, Rezko for Vice President and Hillary for Chief of Staff. That would satisfy everyone’s needs!

Oh woah woah woah. The Clintons are the one who gave this idea a ‘life of it’s own’.
Now it’s a monster they can’t control…
Behold, the Frankenticket.
IT’S ALLIIIIVVEEEEE, ALLIIIVVVEEEEE!!!!!!

She is either disingenuous or incompetent. I suspect both. I think the reality is that she knows she has lost and is pulling a Huckabee. She really wants VP and is trying to act as if she could be president if something happened to President Obama.
I’m not sure she has the foreign policy experience however. Richardson would be a better choice than Clinton.
Actually, Huckabee would also be a better choice than Clinton. He is funnier.

Bizarre? Not bizarre at all. Completely expected from a Clinton. I don’t have to explain to you people again that everything they say is lie, do I? You get it now, don’t you?

Someone who’s not a straight talker shouldn’t shoot her mouth. Since she worship Sen. McCain she should get lessons on how to answer direct questions with direct answers. It goes to show that she’s a typical politician.

Jake
Please start a column about the racist spin obama was doing today in miss. It is so blatant Obama was starting the race talk today. But nowhere is there an article on it.

What’s so “bizarre” ? People have been blogging for months re. this hope of a “dream ticket” . Hillary decided to finally address it…strategy or not…who cares. If Obama supporters would read /listen to something other than what the Obama Camp has to say perhaps they would be inclined to make a more informed decision re. who REALLY is the best candidate. Take away Obama’s gift with the spoken word and REALLY what do you have????

Toby you are no allowed to mention Obama and race in the same sentence. These are taboo subjects. Obama does not use race, ask any Obama supporter.

I keep going back to that moment when she sat in that cafe in New Hampshire and teared up saying “this is not a game…”
It seems like a game from them. I am not trying to diss her. I just think she “plays” it…she and her campaign.
and Lauren most of the party preferred Sen Clinton before barack came to their state. They didn’t know him and for years have been holding onto the Clinton’s as the one argument against Bush…and the bar to hold all other democratic candidates up to.
I say it all the time that’s not a great measurement, but after years of arguing with republicans…
So yeah people love the Clinton’s but why do you think so many people switch after he comes to their state.

Does any of this matter? America will not vote Obama, McCain will win anyway as America will be afraid of a black man that talks nothing but rhetoric. What did he change in Illinois? And you can bet his wife will be co-president, telling us how he leaves his empty cans in the oval office.

Malania
perhaps you haven’t seen the numbers …
Much of America already has voted for Obama.

divide and conquer…that is what the republicans are doing to the democrats and the dems are taking the bait. We have got to come together if we are going to win.

are you serious? she really said that? and people are blaming the media and defending hillary? i’m sorry, folks, but there is no way to spin this.
mark penn is going to waterboard bill.

This was a case of not having a rebuttal to the obvious follow up questions and just trying squash the whole thing. They wish they could take this asinine tactic back. It didn’t work out as well as they expected so they want a do over.

Dogsoldier
You are right, I guess I was really peeved to see the video on another blog that I hoped the MSM saw the act also. Obama has probally over 200 media people covering him and all of them missed the opportunity to report it.

I’m got one word to describe Hillary Clinton and her campaign: Schizophrenics.

Am happy he refused that is the best news Hillary has gotten have no idea why anyone would ever suggest he can be VP.
As for the idea of a dream ticket who needs that Hillary is quiet capable of running on her own, I support the Democrat party in this election because of Hillary it sure is not because of Obama.

First Susan Rice confirms that Obama is not ready to take the 3:00 call. Ms.Power says he has two plans to get out of Iraq, one for the voters another one for the europeans. Sounds like Obama needs to leave the training wheels on just a little longer. Maybe thats why he doesn’t want to be VP.

actually the spelling is S-Y-B-I-L
one “L”

Some did it because Barack’s campaign has tried to smear the Clintons, accusing them of racism. I guarantee you, if Barack was white, Bill still would have used the word ‘fairy tale’ when talking about Barack voting to continue to support war, but insisting so much that he’s against it.
Many only switched because they saw the polls that seemed to indicate that he had more chances of beating McCain.
Others did it for their kids – they liked the enthusiasm, and the inspiration. Which is great, and our party needs more of that, always. But we need to see that the real substance of that is not dependent on one candidate. It is true that when Democrats campaign we are always about hope and change. Those slogans have been used many different times for our party. That is why I am a democrat.
Barack is inspirational, and I am happy that he is now involved in our national politics, and I think with more proven experience he will be more qualified to run for President. That’s why being Vice-President would be a great position for him, or some other prominent cabinet position if he didn’t want to be VP.
But the more this goes on, the more people will question his qualifications and proof of them at this time, and if he gets the nomination, the Republicans will smear him ruthlesslessly.
Not John McCain – he will not condone it. But the 527s operate independently, and they do whatever they want.

I do wish Clinton would have said, “DUH? That’s why I believe he is no better than vice president material.” But she had to play nice I suppose. In essence, it doesn’t matter what or even how she answers anything because oil at $108 a barrel doesn’t demand a question for all the peoples no matter who they support. I know it bothers me.

After listening to Al Sharpton today I don’t think we will have a nominee. He says if he doesn’t like the do over options he is going to court. Doesn’t he know that is how Bush won in 2000? Looks like ole Al is going to give it to McCain by default. Thanks Al!

KK rather then check on my typo’s you still cant argue the fact that he is a idiot the race for president has not begun as yet.
So all this talk that he is telling people that he is running for president is crap he is running to seek the nomination to be the democrat candidate for the presidential race, that is when the race for the WH begins.
So he can slam Hillary all he want, he can say he is winning this and that it don’t mean jack at the moment, he has to challenge McCain then he can stand up and say he is now running for POTUS.

Race Race,
that is indeed a stunning comment. First we have Gloria Steinem who tells us that John McCain wouldn’t be war hero if were a woman, and now we have Hillary’s top surrogate Geraldine Ferraro who tells us Barack Obama wouldn’t in this campaign AT ALL if he were NOT a black man.
?????!!!!
Would this open the eyes of Hillary fans?
This is for crying out load. This is feminism in its most gloomy and hysterical mode; may God beware that we’ll ever have one inch of that in White House.
And again, will Hillary denounce and reject Geraldine Ferraro, one of her greatest fundraisers?

Even if by some miracle, Obama gets the nomination, he will never get the Presidency. Voters will get cold feet; hope or not, reality will sink in. The young will have moved on to something new and more exciting and Obama’s lack of experience, his lack of a voting record, his inability to stand up and fight, and lack of a good plan for the country plus double talking on the side will reveal him for what he is: empty rhetoric.

Billy Smith the democratic party is already fractured beyond repair. Obama still forcing FL and MI to the sidelines. His policy adviser insults Ohio and you somehow expect us to quietly move to your side can only be some sort of bad joke on your part, surely. I’ve lived in a hard right society for 7 years and I’m not about to move hard left. I’m a center to center small right democrat.

All of you Obama supporters don’t get your shorts all tied up in a knot. The fact is that your man will get the nomination. I don’t care how big Hillary’s popular vote margin or how many delegates she has,or how may do overs there are. In the end it is coming down to the superdelegates. These mostly white politcians are not going to give the nomination to Hillary because they do not want a repeat of the 68 convention. Former Gov. Wilder said on CNN that if superdelegates give the nomination to Hillary then there would be rioting in the streets! Nothing scares white politicans than seeing thousands of black people being led by Jesee Jackson and Al Sharpton running up and down the streets of Denver yelling “if you ain’t white you ain’t right! As a Hillary supporter I am determined that she stay in this race to the end and let these guys do the job that they are suppose to do and that is to break a tie. Then when Obama loses we can say that we told you so!

“Senator, how do you reconcile your suggestion that maybe Senator Obama would be appropriate to be on a Clinton-Obama ticket while at the same time you are suggesting that he isn’t prepared to be commander-in-chief?”
Well, he wouldn’t be commander-in-chief if he were only V.P. He would gain more experience first as a V.P.to be commander-in-chief someday. He may be wonderful and charismatic but he is green and has a dismal voting record, missing 185 votes out 1098 in just two years. Hillary has only missed 152 votes out of over 2406 in 6 years. And he keeps bringing up her vote for the war, when he doesn’t vote much at all? Number one thing that elicits change is to be there to vote on bills that may become our laws, and write bills that at least make it out of committee. That’s the way it’s done. My biggest fear is the Obama bubble hasn’t been challenged enough, and Republicans are rubbing their palms together. Obama is known as a radical in congress and Republicans will jump on it. He is going to come up against that wall all through his presidency.
I’ve also been keeping track of what hits the media. After Super Tuesday, Hillary was 83 delegates ahead of Obama. It was called a dead heat everwhere as if Obama won. When Hillary trailed after the southern primaries less than 83 delegates she was labeled as struggling. What’s wrong with this picture? What happened to the likewise dead heat? If half the country like someone above writes, believes Obama is way ahead all the time and the numbers haven’t been terribly close, than it is a little more enticing to jump on the Obama bandwagon without knowing anything about the man. But the numbers are close. I’m part of the other half of all Democrats in this very close race that wants Hillary to win. The hope I’m seeing behind Obama’s campaign is not all that different than an analogy of cleaning out a horribly messy closet like this exiting administration will leave, and deciding to paint and refurbish the whole room at the same time. It is ludicrous! But that’s what many think is going to happen. A green senator is going to go in and clean up all the mess, some we don’t even know about yet, bring troops home or to Pakistan instead…with no money in our coffers, meet all the leaders of other countries for the first time, who know nothing about Obama either, and establish better environmental policy and quick. He voted for a huge pork barrel glutted energy bill that Hillary did not. The bill first gave tax breaks to the oil industry, and 5.7 billion to the nuclear power industry after Republicans and the nuclear industry watered down Obama’s nuclear bill until it died. That’s not standing up. That’s being run over and then swayed. People need to do their homework better as really concerned citizens. If we can blog, we can all look this stuff up on our own so we don’t just take a campaigns word for it. I didn’t mention Hillary’s shortcomings because those have already been aired everywhere, repeatedly. We know already.

After watching the Obama arrogance on ABC news this evening, I have to say that he is simply not President caliber.
Rather, Senator Obama much more resembled a tele-evangelist of the Jimmy Swaggart mode.
The laughable scene was even complete with the swinging and swaying crowd, hooting and hollering with hands raised.
The only thing missing was someone rolling in the aisles.
Good bait job by the Clintons, but I am surprised that Obama bit so easily.

I dislike Hillary Clinton more and more every day. She and her supporters try to spin everything her way, and try to make it out like the media and everyone is against her. Now the Clinton News Network (CNN) has started playing it easy on her and tearing Obama down. She has been using her dirty tactics constantly to try and win this election, and I am sick of it. She attacked Obama viciously and untruthfully for a full week leading up to the Ohio/Texas voting, and when he finally stood up for himself and called her out on these lies, her camp tried to spin it like Obama is being the negative one. Wake up America!

As Obama said before “Somewhere along the straight talk express it [the bus] lost some wheels.” What a shame he was talking about McCain, but it applies NOW..

I am a US Citizen living abroad in Italy, since 10 years now. I have followed closely the tense battle between H. Clinton and B. Obama. I must say that in the beginning I was leaning more towards H. Clinton as her message was getting across in a more clear manner, with respects to B. Obama. The gains made by B. Obama (of 1l consecutive wins) did not alter my view, until I began to notice a Clinton camp doing all that is necessary to change the momentum of its rival. The result was successful even with me. I began to look at reasons why H. Clinton would be more eligible for position of President; however, if you look closely. You begin to understand to be sucked into some huge marketing campaign that knows how to influence the minds of people in general. I believe Obama represents a real change for America. America deserves a real change. The Clinton Triosca (Father, Mother, Daughter) again…did not America had enough? Let’s move on to something more genuine.

King,
To interpret Geraldine Ferraro’s remarks without context would be less than genuine, similar to what you have posted.
The emergence of reverse-racism in the Obama campaign tactics is evident and does not require comment from either you or me to retain validity.
You need to remember that Barak Obama, is not black. Rather, he is half-black as are several of my grandchildren. The difference is that in our family we do not attempt to use heritage, or a lack of the same, to gain political advantage. Barak Obama does.
As for what Limbaugh or Democrats have to say about any of us; Who cares?

I think the whole notion that she would select someone to be her V.P. but would suggest that the person is unqualified to be President is laughable. It just shows that they really haven’t thought their message through and that they’re acting out of desparation.
For all those who have pondered “who REALLY is the best candidate” . . .
Hilary relied on name recognition to win the nomination. She did not build a grass root organization. As a leader, she didn’t structure her organization in a way that the roles were clear or that lent itself to growth. She didn’t manage her funds well even though she raised large sums of money. As a result, she is being outspent in every market.
She is not electable for all of these reasons, and, regardless of which Republic she might have faced in a general election, she could not win. The Republicans have been masterful grass root organizers.
She simply has not been prepared to run an effect campaign and is not prepared to be President. On that note, it is highly unlikely that Barack Obama would choose her to be his V.P. She has too many negatives and she’s adding to them everyday. What fodder it would be for John McCain to attack Hilary, the would be V.P nominee, with her own words and with her own ads, i.e the 3 AM ad.

It’s laughable at all – it’s the plain and obvious truth:
He is not at all as qualified as she is.
He couldn’t win against McCain, he’s already beginning to trail him in the polls.
He’s only had 3 years national experience.
She is the most qualified, she is the one most Democrats want, she is the one trying to provide a solution to the division in the party.
She is the one offering true hope, change and unity.
And you are all rejecting it and being hypocrites.
She is much more qualified than him.

Gee Lauren, since when do Tea parties count as executive experience?

Hillary is merely a celebrity, not an actual expert on anything, not unlike Brittney Spears. Like, omigod, let’s elect Brittney, she’s so EXPERIENCED!

Does anyone think that Hillary would be pushing for the votes in Florida and Michigan if the outcome would benefit Obama? Lets talk about how the democratic party was disenfranchised in Texas and especially Ohio. Ohio has 26 counties of which 8 were democratic. Obama won 5. In counties with overwhelming republican registration Hillary won by over 200% of the democratic registrations. At the encouragement of right wing talk show host it was suggested that republican vote for Hillary to both force a brokered convention and or a Hillary nomination in which they feel McCain can beat. They are not at all confident that McCain can beat Obama.

“obama is finally letting it show how divisive he is, not putting the interests of the Democratic Party before his own selfish, egotistical power-hunger.”
Uh, he’s in the lead. He’s not throwing insults and innuendo at the other side to the detriment of the party. He’s not the one giving line the Republicans can use this fall.
I think you got it backwards, Russel

I like the old soft shoe; a nice dance. But I do not like a candidate who dances around the facts and the truth and is as behaving like somebody as soft as an old shoe.
Hillary needs our compassion. Obama needs our votes.

Jake:
Thanks for pointing this all out. We appreciate your honest viewpoint.
What I want to know is where the hell is John Edwards?

hillary’s desperation grows moreso by the seconds. this obama as second seat stuff is to take some of his thunder away from him wont work..as part of the old saying goes you cant fool all the people all the time…clintons

The Clintons must have something on Edwards.

Oh beautiful. For once someone asks her to reconcile one of her obvious contradictions, and she pretends she never suggested a joint ticket. So typical.
Mr. Tapper: May I point out some other inconsistencies that it might be interesting to ask her about? Here goes:
1. Senator Clinton says she’s ‘the only one with a real plan for managing the economy’ (Washington Post, Feb 20). But this claim comes from the candidate who – in January, at the very beginning of primary season – had already mismanaged her finances to the point that she had to loan five million dollars to her own campaign. Does it make sense to think she can manage our nation’s budget deficit?
2. Senator Clinton says she’s ‘the only one with a real plan [. . .] for reining in the special interests’ (Washington Post, Feb 20). But Senator Clinton accepts money from lobbyists and PACs. Does it make sense to think she’ll suddenly change her ways and start standing up to special interests if she’s elected president? If we want to rein in the special interests, shouldn’t we vote for the candidate who isn’t being paid by them?
3. In her ‘3 a.m.’ advertisement, Senator Clinton tells us that we should vote for ‘someone who already knows the world’s leaders.’ This claim comes from the candidate who couldn’t properly name the new president of Russia. When told Dmitri Medvedev’s name, she laughed and said: ‘Whatever.’ If she can’t remember the name of the newly-elected president of Russia, how can she pretend that she knows the world’s leaders? And in January she joked that President Putin ‘doesn’t have a soul’ (New York Times, Feb 15). Are such statements appropriate for a future commander-in-chief who will need to work with foreign heads of state?
4. Hillary Clinton has spent a lot of time reminding us of her thirty-five years of experience. But let’s review. She began her first elected post in 2001 and has served as a senator for seven years. Barack Obama began his first elected post in 1997 and has served as a senator for eleven years, at BOTH the state AND federal level. True, Senator Clinton was first lady for many years, but should being married to a politician count as political experience? Would you let your surgeon’s spouse perform an operation on you?
OK, forgive me for going on so long, it’s just that I’m excited to finally find a journalist who uses his critical thinking skills and expects candidates’ positions to have some sort of internal consistency. You go, Mr. Tapper.

Once again, Lauren,
You present the reverse-discrimination suggestion in a setting that elevates the argument to thoughtful consideration.

ME- Hillary was championing child care reform in Arkansas while Obama was in diapers. Hillary bravely stood in front of communist Beijing China’s leaders and delivered a speech promoting women’s rights. You can try and say Hillary has no experience, but the facts are she has stood up and spoken for those who had no voice. She has done, when others just talk about doing. She has been working, while other just sit in chat rooms and complain about her.

All the indicators tell us today that Mississippi will stick a fork in Hillary Clinton.
And by the way, this last so called ‘bad week’ for Obama gained him 7 delegates more (incl. supers) than Clinton. Yes, he sure is an amazing candidate. And I didn’t even count the pledged delegates he gains form the now final and definitive results in California.
No, our new President will NEVER put a Clinton on the ticket and so, thanks to a young black senator of Illinois, America will finally be able to see the Clintons out. Bye bye!
The Clinton Machine is kaputt, done, rust. Now let’s find some museum for it, somewhere in an Arkansas outskirt.

Mississippi: How’s it look for Obama in Pa,WV,KY and beyond?

Bill’s administration was the most accomplished and successful administration we have ever had.
Hillary is our most qualified candidate.
More Democrats know the truth.
If you count Florida, and you hear about all the Hillary supporters who were bullied in the caucus states – and you look at the core democratic polls – it shows that more people know Hillary is most qualified and want Hillary.
Hillary is a an incredibly intelligent, competent, dedicated, hard-working woman. She knows policy inside and out.
Polls released this morning show Hillary is beating McCain, and Barack is trailing him.
Barack could never beat McCain.
After the Republicans get done with him, he will lose much of what credibility he now has.
He doesn’t have enough proof of what he says.
Hillary will be better able to beat McCain with the swing voters because she is smarter on security and smarter on the economy.
She excelled in the debates. She is an expert on policy, and getting things done.
Hillary for the economy!

You have to understand about Florida and Michigan, no one had a chance to campaign there. Obama’s name wasn’t on the polls. Edwards’ name wasn’t on the polls. Its unfair to count the delegates when nobody campaigned. Of course Clinton won those states. She was the clear front-runner. Theres no way you can count delegates in a state that voted if the candidates didn’t have a chance to properly campaign for the contest. Its completely unfair and that’s it.
Once they get done leaking all of Clinton’s baggage, she will have lost ALL of her credibility. so hey believe the hype. And if Obama couldn’t get core democrats, why did he win Wisconsin. Hmmm. Good question huh. And republicas and independents were going for Obama even before McCain was the front runner. This was before Iowa. Point blank.. Hillary doesn’t get independents. McCain and Obama do. Now who do you think is going to tip this election??

Obama fans prepare yourself for the painful, sad truth:
The Republicans are researching Obama and Rezko like there’s no tomorrow.
But here is the biggest problem so far:
Barack will not be able to run on his ‘judgement,’ because he took a favors from Rezko and had him help him buy his house, when everyone knew Rezko was under investigation for fraud, extortion, and money laundering, and more.
That is a proven fact – that the Chicago press has been covering.
And you can bet that the Republicans will have attack ads about that and Barack’s judgement.
And that combined with the way they will say he is an ‘inexperienced anti-war liberal’ with very little national experience or record – he will never be able to beat McCain with the swing voters.
It is the painful truth that you need to begin to consider now – because I have watched what happens in these elections very closely many times – I know how the Republicans work – there are those who love to try and destroy Democrats. They will be scared of Barack and what he might do, and they will want to win. There will be 527 ads not associated with, or condoned by McCain.

Barack’s name was on the ballot in Florida – I think his campaign may have even run some tv ads there(?) when Hillary’s did not.
She won Florida by a landslide, because the people and the elders know what’s what – yo. She got more votes than even all of the Republicans, combined.
The people and the elders know the truth – who is more qualified, how successful Bill’s administraion was.
Hillary for the economy!

Power is definitely not more intelligent – if she was, she wouldn’t have made such a low hypocritical comment. She ruined much of her own career and credibility by doing something so disgraceful. She will never be as respected around the world again. What you say about other people reveals more about yourself and how low you can go than about the other person. Could you imagine how people would be flipping out if someone from the Hillary campaign called Barack a monster? They have only raised important, legitimate questions, about hypocrisy and qualifications. She is just a specialist. I have heard her many times.

I am not wrong, I have already heard Republican pundits talk about it on the McGloughlin Group show – there are people researching, and there are all these alleged connections between Rezko and some Muslim extremist or something -they will play on people’s fears.
The are researching it – and it is proven that he had Rezko help with a land deal to buy his house. It wasn’t illegal – but it shows really bad judgement because Rezko it was when everyone knew Rezko was under investigation for fraud, extortion, money laundering, etc.
The Republicans will use this – and you will see your dreams come crashing down.
I have seen this happen before – we have lost too many elections because of what the Republicans will do.
The Clintons have been very kind and polite compared to what the Republicans will do. Mark my words.

Meixner,
What I said was what I heard reported on a number of major news networks. Thanks for your numbers – I will have to look at some from a number of sources too.
For Harriet:
“By the end of the Clinton presidency, the numbers were uniformly impressive. Besides the record-high surpluses and the record-low poverty rates, the economy could boast the longest economic expansion in history; the lowest unemployment since the early 1970s; and the lowest poverty rates for single mothers, black Americans, and the aged. Real wages, after declining over the course of the Reagan and Bush years, rose under Clinton. To be sure, the gap between the very rich and everyone else widened—as it has continued to do since—but gains for the rich, for once, didn’t leave behind the poor and lower middle class.”
From “Memo to Obama fans: Clintonism was a success.” By David Greenberg, Rutger’s University Professor of History and Media, for Slate Magazine.
http://slate.com/id/2183941/

Again I will repeat the truth:
Hillary did not come up with the idea of the dream ticket. A professor came up with it. And it was brought up at the debates first.
Many Democrats in the party who are trying to resolve the division of the party, like the idea, and once again – the Clintons are trying to provide solutions.
Many democrats who truly believe in hope, change, and unity – like the idea.
Many Superdelegates think it would be a good idea.

Lauren, Hillary may have an upswing in cross-over voters for a simple reason: Texas has an open primary system – Republicans can vote in either primary -regardless of party affiliation. Rush Limbaugh has “endorsed” Hillary and encouraged his enormous following to vote for her in the primaries. Bill actually went on the Limbaugh show last week, in a shameless pitch for his wife. Mississippi also has an open system, so I imagine that Rush voters will cross over for Hillary there as well. So let’s hand it to the Clintons again – they will do absolutely anything to win. What’s next? She has Ann Coulter’s endorsement, Rush Limbaugh’s endorsement, Bill Cunningham’s endorsement … who is next?

The way Democrats campaign against each other is like a sports match.
The Republicans don’t play by any rules.
Barack’s record and qualifications are not tough.
If he is the nominee, you will see… and we will lose, again.

Does it bother you that Barack had Rezko do him the favor of helping him buy his house when it was widely known that he was under investigation for fraud, extortion, and money laundering?
Because if it doesn’t now, it will when the Republicans get through with him.
The Clintons have never been found guilty of any wrongdoing.
Hillary is our most qualified, competent candidate.
Barack won’t be able to beat McCain.
He doesn’t have enough qualifications at this time, people will want more proof, not just words.
I’ve said it all here before today – I have to go.
If you don’t believe me, we will see how reality plays out.
Goodnight ~

Oh, I suppose it is a bit of spin to pull back from her suggesting Barack could be her vice presidential pick. So what? Obama spins all sorts of things.
He spins the fact that he hasn’t won a single major state. He spins his (former) campaign advisor’s assertion that his promise to remove troops from Iraq within a year is a “best case scenario.” He spins the memo that proves his campaign told the Canadian government that his threatened renegotiation of NAFTA is “political posturing.” He spins the fact that, if it weren’t for the unfair caucus process that favors his young supporters and disenfranchises the elderly, the disabled, and our troops overseas, he likely wouldn’t have a lead of any kind. Spin, spin, spin.
Obama keeps saying that the superdelegates have an ethical obligation to support the candidate the voters have chosen. Okay, fine.
So I just have to ask: When all is said and done, if Hillary has overtaken him in the popular vote, but he’s still ahead in delegates, how will he spin it to say that the superdelegates voting for him is the will of the people?
Do you really think the superdelegates are going to make Hillary the next Al Gore — winner of the popular vote, but still doesn’t get the slot?
We’re not there yet, but, according to Real Clear Politics, she’s only 2% behind Obama in the popular vote (not counting Florida or Michigan). If there’s a do-over in those two states, which is looking increasingly likely, who knows what will happen?
And don’t forget — the nearly 100% Hispanic Puerto Rico holds the last contest, and they have more delgates than Illinois did.

Andy,
How’s he going to get the 2025 delegates?
I suspect he’ll just keep winning primaries and caucuses while convincing superdelegates to endorse him. Seems to have worked so far.

Hillary said that while many likes this idea, but she “needs your vote first”.
Obama has failed spectacularly to close the deal given all the big MO and $ that his campaign has been touting. Obama should listen to the voters! They are screaming, we are not ready for Obama! If he is that powerful a candidate then he should have knocked out down and win all the big states! Caucus are un-democratic and do not exist in the general election!

Clinton is trying to fool voters into believing that a vote for her is also a vote for Obama. I wonder how many people will believe that one……… Should be obvious it’s a trick. That’ll turn off people for sure. People don’t like being tricked, makes them feel stupid. Way to go Hillary, make the voters feel that you think they are stupid. It just doesn’t stop with these Clintons does it. I predict Miss. will go 70/30 for Obama. I wish the Clintons would just disappear—go back to Arkansa or Harlem or wherever.

so i can go to bed…. and leave all this insanity to you nutcases.. can i just say that HILARY IS A LIAR, SHE DOES IT ALL THE TIME.
Now can ONE HRC backer tell me she isn’t? JUST ONE?

There are many people in the Democratic party who like the idea of a dream ticket. Hillary was not the one to come
up with the idea.
Barack is the one who is saying anything to win, and trying to smear the Clintons, when they are just raising legitmate and important questions about his record and real qualifications to be President of our country at this time.
Hillary will win the popular vote, and she is trying to present a solution to heal the division of the party.
Hillary is our most qualified candidate.

Obviously her campaign is built on massive pandering to all sides so much that Hillary has lost track of what her current script is supposed to be. She then uses the psychological projection technique quite common in those who practice denial– she sees you as the confused one, Jake, not herself.
*points finger at head, makes slow deliberate circles with it, points it at Hillary*

Hillary can’t only hit all the time. Sometime she has to say something, what could be seen as nice by the following democrats. So afterwards she can hit again even harder.

obama comes across very cocky and arrogant! the presidency is not an entry level position and he should gain experience.

It’s sure nice to know where the people’s tax dollars have been going.
In place of the tax rebate, I think we should all get $4,000 credits to rent ourselves some prostitutes instead.

I’m going to call this early stage alzheimers. HRC is losing it. She got caught floating Obama as a possible VP in order to go after his base, but she forgot apparently that she said he wasn’t ready to be President. Based on yoru argument HRC, McCain is the only candidate with the ‘experience’.

It’s not that Sen. Obama SAYS he’s the front-runner…it’s that ALL the relevant statistics (delegates attained, number of contests won and total votes received)…ALL verify that Sen. Obama is the clear front runner. Now, with Mississippi soon to be added to his ever-increasing string of wins…let’s not forget that Sen. Obama has…….momentum!

Did I say it? I didn’t say it. Who said it? No one said anything.
Another day, another Hillary. Who will it be tomorrow? Bitter Hillary, Appeasing Hillary, Sarcastic Hillary, Teary Hillary, Laughing Hillary, Scary Hillary, Boxing Hillary, Honored Hillary, Commander Hillary, Experienced Hillary, Secretive Hillary, Inevitable Hillary, or Flat Out Crazy Hillary?
I can’t wait for the day when we have just one: Private Citizen Hillary.

Mark Mathews:
Oh, that’s just precious.
Clinton’s campaign is ineffective and incoherent, but somehow it is Senator Obama’s fault. More blame and excuses, just like we see from Clinton every time things don’t go her way.
Your argument is that Clinton can’t figure out what Obama stands for, so she can’t figure out what to attack, and therefore she can’t campaign. Has it ever occurred to you that campaigning for president should be more than attacking your rivals? Perhaps your candidate should try talking about herself and her own ideas from time to time – every time I see her, she’s railing against Obama. A trifle obsessive, if you ask me.
(And as for Clinton’s universal healthcare plan, while she’s at it I think she should fix the homelessness problem by mandating that all homeless people buy a house. I can’t believe that Democrats are actually considering a candidate so out of touch with the lower classes that she thinks you can just pass a law forcing everyone to buy medical insurance and *poof*, the problem will be solved.)
