Richard Mellon Scaife (Heart)s Hillary

Geez.. Jake I don’t know whats going on here! Why would Senater Clinton sit down with a PA newspaper and answer questions before a primary in PA!…sounds a little suspicious to me too!!! Is it alright with everyone if we the voters in PA get a chance to actually vote, even if it is for Hillary Clinton?

RE; “thinking”….Wow is there a vast rightwing conspiracy here in PA to thwart Obama’s chances? Your name on this post does not match your abilities

Republicans loooooooooooove the thought of going up against Obama.

Obama and Clinton — two peas in the same pod. There’s not a dimes worth of difference in them or the way they comport themselves.
Vote intelligently. Vote Nader

Many are finally opening their eyes to the truth about Obama. He is a speech. Nothing of substance behind him.

Have been listening to Clinton speak in Indiana, and Kentucky the last couple of days, and she has been garnering huge enthusiastic crowds. She is spot on with her message and delivered an awesome speech last night in Madisonville, KY. I think she will win Pa, IN, KY, and WV. The fact that people think this is over is a joke. If FL is counted she is within in 80 delegates of Obama. If she wins all four of these states it will be virtually a tied race and she will be ahead in the popular vote. Then will people still say she should drop out?

Here’s the choice:
An empty suit or a bag of hot air.
Choose wisely!

RE; Thinking…The republicans do not “fear” Obama or Clinton, The RNC has a plan to deal with either to be sure. I think the problem with a lot of the Obama supporters is that they think everyone “should share there ideals”, and agree with them on all the important issues of this campaign, because “its only logical”. The Democractic party is a big party with a lot of opinions and if any of the “other opinions” feel trivialized there will be a price to be paid.

This is a big story. Will the liberal media so in the tank cover it? Probably not. It doesn’t fit into what they want the public to continue to believe about Clinton. They want to continue to promote the stereotypes. Yet, we hear over and over about her warmth, humor and humanity when people actually get to meet the real person. So, what’s to dislike about someone who brings the whole package – those authentic human qualities and the “sharp elbows” that get things done!

You mean she’s not the cartoon portrayed by the media?
Stop and listen to Clinton and you’ll see why she’s the best prepared to lead.

@ Christine D
CNN is really focused on the issues that matter to the voters like Obama’s island getaway and his bowling.

Lets face it Tapper, the media in general is anti-Clinton. There is NO shortage of Clinton bashers for a host of reasons. I think Hillary has gotten a bad rap mainly because of Bill Clinton. Objectively take a look at yourself {media at large} you have to admit, you are far from ideal. The media is about cut throat vendetta politics.
I’m a life long republican, from upstate New York. I did not vote for Hillary in her first term. However, she came to upstate NY, where the economy was not so good at the time. Because I’m a hard head, I did not want to attend the forum in the beginning. My wife nagged me to go. One on one, Hillary Clinton is a impressive, passionate, remarkable woman. She listened, she worked with us, she keep her word and gave real economical solutions. As a result, not only have I supported her campaign for re-election. I supported her for campaign for president, will continue to do so. Hillary Clinton embraces change. I’ve never seen a harder working person.
The woman you saw in NH, that’s the real Hillary Clinton. The real story for all you media lions is to uncover that passion with in her for this country. Sen. Clinton really cares about people! My wife says, Hillary Clinton is the most famous woman no body really knows.

Interestingly, I have read three powerful articles by three heavyweight Republicans that were extremely passionate and inciteful. (Pat Buchanon has written passionately on the savaging of Geraldine Ferraro; Gingrich, on the limitations and failings of Obama’s race speech; and now Scaife). I think they are reacting as Americans. What has happened to insure Barack Obama’s presidency is unprecedented in American politics. Millions of voters have been disenfranchised. The old guard in the Senate has not just “endorsed,” they have delivered their political machines in a way that we never saw for Gore or Kerry. The DNC, rather than supporting the voters, essentially has deferred to Obama.
Some very astute political observers, even if Republican, see this for what it is – it is a coup d’etat, plain and simple.

pleeeease the republicans will love to have obama as our nominee….

Truthbetold: You speak the truth!! Everytime I mention the VIEW, I get deleted!!!! Obama was on the View conoodling and literally caressing the hosts while Hillary was courageous enough to engage in a 90-minute, no holds barred, interview with Scaife.
Ok, this one will be deleted also.

The VIEW

I totaly agree with twinmom48′s comments. The media has torn Hillary down for months now. And they have put Obama on a pedestal by exalting that he is the change we have all been waiting for. It has been so unfair and has turned many of us off of the media entirely. Despite those media efforts, Hillary is still in this race though she has a steep hill to climb.
My ask is that the media explore a new story, a story that is true but hasn’t been told. The story that tells how Hillary really is warm and genuine when people know her, but who is never-give-up fighter. Tell the story about how she has effectively worked across the aisle in the Senate (even more so that Obama). There is so much mis-information out there. The majority of Americans don’t realize that Hillary is multi-faceted. Isn’t it the media’s responsibility to educate us on things we don;t know. There is little time left, now is the time to get that information in the hands of upcoming voters.

“thinking” Another election decided by money,… not experience, judgement,or the ability of voters to make there decisions on what they feel is important. Just discount them from this process…everyone who does not share your vision of new UTOPIAN CIVILIZATION. There have been many examples of this in the history of mankind…do not question…do not speak against the gospel…just follow!This type of dogma whether it is liberal or conservative is dangerous to all people who cherish the freedom of there own opnions and I am “smart enough” to to know a politica power play when I see it, …are you?

A huge black turnout in November 1992 altered Chicago’s electoral landscape-and raised a new political star: a 31-year-old lawyer named Barack Obama.
In the final, climactic buildup to November’s general election, with George Bush gaining ground on Bill Clinton in Illinois and the once-unstoppable campaign of senatorial candidate Carol Moseley Braun embroiled in allegations about her mother’s Medicare liability, one of the most important local stories managed to go virtually unreported: The number of new voter registrations before the election hit an all-time high. And the majority of those new voters were black. More than 150,000 new African-American voters were added to the city’s rolls. In fact, for the first time in Chicago’s history-including the heyday of Harold Washington-voter registrations in the 19 predominantly black wards outnumbered those in the city’s 19 predominantly white ethnic wards, 676,000 to 526,000.

It is indeed strange that the Clintons are fraternizing with Scaife. And what’s this about Scaife’s ex being an Obama supporter? Since you asked me what I think, I think I’m watching the show Little Rock, a late spin off of Dallas.

Jim,
well what do you propose that we stop the election?.
It’s just us unintelligent fools who vote? Who support the candidates. Those Milions he has raised has come from millions of supporters, not just a few rich people
Jim, your argument has ground to a halt.

This article doesn’t surprise me in the least. While Republican voters may indeed see the Clintons as the anti-Christ the Karl Roves, Pat Buchanans, Newt Gingrich’s and other such types, were probably the least surprised at Hillary’s comeback in the primaries. There has always seemed to be some begrudging respect that when they get knocked down they just come back up.
If Hillary were to get the nomination the Republicans no doubt would feel it would galvanize Republican voters but the powers that be would never see coming up a Clinton as a cakewalk.
Clinton’s tenacity and willingness to get out and fight on the basis of her convictions is something I have not seen in the record of Obama, so it is one of the reasons I think she’s the best candidate. She’s a policy wonk
and a hard worker, again something not seen in Obama’s record with his extremely poor history of missing votes and showing up when most of the work is done and yet taking credit where it’s not due. Clinton has worked on major issues bipartisan and after having watched how these primaries have unfolded, I suspect those Republicans she’s worked with are probably more loyal than our elitist Kennedys, Kerrys, Daschles, Pelosi’s and the rest of the gang who when reelection comes up may find themselves struggling.

Jake,
1st of all-this article was great until the mention of RMS’ divorce. Who Cares, about his divorce? I hope not today’ american voter. W have to many other things that actually will affect our lives. I Thank Mike for his report about hillary’s speech in kentucky, and other places.
If we american voters would try to clear our heads of the “junk”. Consider the issues. Realize how we the voters are being influenced and the attempts to lead us. And actually listen to the candidates we the american voters and the world will win.
Our american press is biased-right now leaning toward obama-none of the talking heads on tv-have the courage to speak up when hillary is being bashed-and wrong things being said about her-none have the courage to speak up and say well in all fairness-she did say this right, etc. no it is as if they have all been given a prewritten script and while sitting around the table looking at each other-one will say what they have been told-and the other look to make sure-noone moves far away from the script. on cnn today-a reporter was talking about the housing crisis. and was asked the question-who do you think is address this issue-she first said none of them-wolf asked again-but are any of them even talking about how to solve this-she said “Well Sen. Clinton in a kentucky townhall meeting has come the closest to giving a solution to what to do. and then the reporter quickly said-but they all have a similar position. Now you all tell me
does that seem fair? Can we the American voters-make our intelligent choice for president if we have reporter on tv. reporting like that?
The truth of the matter is the ONLY
one who is out there talking about solutions for the issues that we the american voter has to face in the next 4 years is HILLARY CLINTON. Obama is busy-either speaking against what Hillary has proposed and now mccain.
or he is having to backtrack on something new we have learned about him. And you know what, I partly blame
his backers-Kerry, Dashle, Bradley,Dean,Kennedy and Co, (I wish I had a shorter name, to describe these guys-I am tired of writing out all of their names)When they went to their backroom meeting to hatch up “Who can we find to beat Hillary”
and one of them said-what about a black guy-yes, that will take the black vote away from the beloved clinton.
someone of that group should have inspected obama a little closer-because it was either stupidity or arrogance-I cannot tell which) when they decided on a black guy-they should not have picked someone who comes from a seperatist church-and chose the slogan “the Uniter” How in the world and I do not care what obama is saying NOW. noway you can sit in a church for 20 years-have someone you call a mentor-and not know the message rev. wright was preaching-or what he stood for. NO way. I come from a black southern church background-and if any of the preacher I or my grandmother (who raised me) had preached some of the stuff we have heard from rev. wright-my grandmother- would have looked over her eyeglasses at him and said “he’ gone crazy”-and the elders of the church would have dismissed him.
I can believe Hillary sat down with Mr. S because-she knows what she is talking about-when you know what you are talking about you have no fear of scrutiny. We still do not know all there is about obama-we still do not know what more there is to come out about him. If people had known what they know now about him and rev.wright
he would not be in the lead. and we would not have this party so divided.
but no because of the backroom grooming (and not a good job) of a candidate-what we have been given is a “designer”
canditate-someone who looks good-can sound good-but there is not much else to them. The media is in on the sell also. because if we had had the kind of reporting of old-what the backroom crew failed to do-the media should have. but nope-they are in on the sell.
This selling of obama to us the American voter reminds me of the sell of the war.-Remember- and noone could say anything against it.-and here it is again-no maatter what obama says NOW-if he had-been in the senate and had the information sen. clinton and others had-he would have voted for the war also.
the little history we know about him mow-tells us there is not much fortitude to Sen. Obama-if he was as against the war as he said he said in his speech-when he had a vote that counted to back up his opposition to the war-he would have voted no. the record shows-after he got into the senate-he voted just as sen. clinton did for funding.etc.
But how can you expect fortitude when there is no substance to begin with.
He is a fence rider-on the rev. wright issue. and as a black woman I know why he had to reject or claim he didn’t know what rev. wright has said-because he knows he would have lost the black vote. (not mine-because he has never had it) but I am talking about my brother and sister who have been blindly voting for him because he is black-(you know-the black vote the ones in the backroom said he would get) he would have lost the black vote. See how emotional and not the way to vote that is.-My black brothers and sister have been voting for this guy in record number-just because he is black-(now trying to find out what he stands for-what his plans are for the country or how they will fit or fair in his plan-just vote for him because he is black-and just as easily-he could lose their vote-by doing the rational (showing fortitude) thing and leaving that church-and finding another one that is more in line with what he is saying NOW. (are you getting the thread that is running through this?) now in no place are the issues in play here-when it comes to the black vote-because if the issues had anything to do with who the black people voted for-they would go with Hillary-because she is the only one talking about solutions that will help the ills of the poor, working class, middle class black, latino and everyone else who works for a living
and do not fall for the talking heads and media prewritten script of “there is not a dimes worth of difference in obama and Hillarys plan”-the BIG difference that no one is pointing out is Hillary is the originator of the plans-obama’ camp-copies. go back and check it-I did-because I wanted to be clear on this-why is Hillary the originator-because she is a thinker-she has surronded herself with people who are truly learning to be the next generation of thinkers on how to solve the problems of this country and the world. And Sen. Obama is surrounded by 1st of all people (remember the backroom crew-names listed above) with an ax to grind against the clintons-and all of them have failed to get into the white house on their own.so they have their Designer Candidate-who is a little bit of all of them-good public
servants in their own way-but lacking that “substance” to get them into the white house.-”sour grapes”
Now i want a black person to be president before I die-I do-but one who (no matter what is said against them-when he/she wins I want to be able to say I gave my vote to the most qualified-most vetted-and the one with the most courage to stand by their convictions.-and have the best plans to help and best represent the WHOLE country. not pander to first this group and then another. I want what they are telling me NOW to be close to what they will tell me once I have given my vote and put them in office. Not tell me one thing today and go to the canadians and the british and tell them another.
As a black woman who does not take her right to vote lightly-I beg of all of you Pa, NC. WVA, Indiana, PR. WY, Oregon,and all others left to vote.
Listen closely to what these candidates are saying to you about how they will solve the issues before us and facing us over the next four years-and I pray
you will (put that crazy stuff that is thought about hillary clinton in behind you) not take your vote lightly-(good black and white and all colors of people died in the struggle for right to vote)do not give your vote away for a groomed candidate with a speech-Our country need a candidate with substance, fortitude, and a lot of courage-to stand up against “what or whoever” and that candidate is
Hillary Clinton-she is fighting against the bigwigs of her party the media, and she can take on whatever the republicans bring-now that is who I and we should want in the white house-I mean after this-can you really see Hillary Clinton-(who is the only one speaking up for the working people)backing down from anything that she thinks is right for the people of this country. and as commander-in chief-all I can say is WATCH OUT Osamma bin laden!
(oh, yes you thought we had forgotten about what you did to our front yard)WE aRE COMING TO GET YOU! and to our soldiers in Iraq and now at home-we will pay you well for the service you have done.
American voters join me. please-vote for the only candidate with the real original solutions to our country problems-Help Hillary put us back on the right track-the world wants us to lead again in the right way.
(last thought-a man from london called in to washington journal this am-and said our friends across the pond-are watching-and they want Hillary.
and as Hillary said (1st) “The World is holding its breath, hoping we get it right this time”
Please lets get it right this time
Hillary 08′
Hillary/Edwards 08′

Obama and Clinton — two peas in a pod. Can anybody tell us about a single MAJOR difference in their very small bag of issues?

This is excellent news for Hillary !

– correct some typos and repost here
There have been more myths than realities in the media reports about this election.
One example is we are told that Obama is a life-long unifier and Clinton is a well-known divider.
The reality contains these considerations:
First of all there has been no evidence at all that Obama has ever worked with the other side to achieve anything.
Secondly it would be very naive if you think a radical liberal or whatever can unite those hardcore republicans without giving up very much of his own base with Kennedy, Kerry etc.
Thirdly, more generally speaking, a unity is always based on some common ground or common enemy. US has been deeply divided in more fundamental interests and metaphysical conceptions of religion, race, and ideology. Has Obama ever given any signals that he could stand above all these, and have a route map to unite all – not just under the influence of the black liberation theology and the beloved Rev. Wright? Is Mrs. Clinton better in it, with her mainstream religion background, historical association with black, and moderate stands and policies?
Not hard to understand these.
But Obama and media still sing his “unity” songs with confidence like he owns it.

Slate puts Hillary Clinton’s chances at 12%. I think when they factor in the Texas caucus results that will drop to somewhere around -5%, give or take 2 or 3%. Hillary is history. If you do the math, she has NO democratic path to the White House. She will never, ever be president.Where IS that iron ?

We had all better hope-and do all we can to keep the bigwigs in the dem party from “fixing this race” and that is just what they are trying to do.
d/c fl, and mich. and trying to get hillary to drop out before all the primaries are over.
I am going with Hillary to win
Hillary wins=american win
Hillary is the only one talking about solutions to the problems
and all of you who hate hillary for all those crazy things-that will not do anything for you
Just hold your nose and vote for her
your pocketbook will thank you later
and now-
bringing up the rear and all the american voters with her
Hillary 08′ Brilliant!

jgaw, you wrote: “…then we elected a president (Gore) and the other one running (GW Bush) stole it from us.”
Repeating the lie over and over again still doesn’t make it true. It was Al Gore who tried to steal the election from George W. Bush. Al Gore tried to cherry-pick a handful of counties that were heavily Democratic to recount instead of calling for a full statewide recount. Furthermore, several newspapers did, in fact, complete the recount of the entire state and determined that George W. Bush did win Florida in 2000.
Now if you are talking about the fact that Al Gore won the popular vote, that is irrelevant. The U. S. Constitution details the process for electing the President. And accordingly George W. Bush received more electoral votes.

Did ABC miss the news on Maggie Williams?
While Hillary Clinton campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination in neighborhoods where many have lost their homes in unscrupulous lending schemes, her campaign manager, Margaret “Maggie” Williams, sits on the board of one of the nation’s once-largest and now-bankrupt sub-prime mortgage lenders.
Williams joined the board of directors at New York-based Delta Financial Corporation in 2000, one month after a federal settlement was reached with Delta Financial over discriminatory lending practices.
As of September 2007, Williams owned 12,500 shares of Delta’s common stock, and by 2007 had earned at least $175,000 for her board obligations, according to company filings available in the Securities & Exchange Commission online database.

No lead in raw vote or delegates… Well I guess her being a woman is more important than the pigment of Obama’s skin. It’s amazing that the towo most liberial and big government war mogers are arguing over who gets to feed at the corporate trough. What are we arguing about? Neither of these people are intending to respresent US in office. THey are fighting to dictate and lord over us, with the tyranny of bigger government. You are fighting and wasting time over which dictator you prefer. What is wrong with you folks? Do you NOT think, EVER???

Folks, the real revolution is actually still going on, out there in our country, in the open, while so many are typing hate messages in little boxes in these blogs…
One man running as presidential candidate visited Penn State University on this Sunday afternoon -
more than 22000 people came to see and listen to him…
22000 people, imagine that.
There’s only 1 candidate in this race who would accomplish that.
That man will be, for many good reasons, the next President of the United States.

You people make me sick Hilly is a fake she care nothing about thew middle or poor class of peole in this country.She has never wanted for nothing.Wait until you see her tax report>>>She took 800.000 for insurance companys after her health paln fell threw yes,more then you and I make in a life time.She is a lair>>>>>>>>>>Her private trust was about 41 mil….Wal Mart,oil, medical, insurances all the big boys she has played footies with.WISE UP.

Mellon Scaife no doubt figured the way he could hurt her most was by complimenting her and he’s probably correct. It will feed the rumors that she’s scheming and plotting with him. When it comes to the Clinton’s Democrats have always been their own worst enemies. They just don’t know how to take the good with the bad even though the good frequently outweighs the bad.

That if the “political experts” on CNN and MSNBC would quit trashing Clinton while kissing up to Obama 24/7, they would find that she is by far the best candidate. She has more knowledge and experience as well as better econonmic and health care plans than Obama or McCain. She should be the Democrat nominee and subsequent, President.

@ KRAVITZ
Wasn’t Obama all about the will of the people? Guess who won the PRIMARY IN TEXAS? HILLARY CLINTON and it was more than what Obama won the CAUCUS by. Most primary voters didn’t even go to the CAUCUS or else he would’ve lost that too. As a Texan, I should know. You were required to vote in the Primary to be allowed to vote in the caucus, but if you voted in the Primary you didn’t have to vote in the caucus.

Jim,
I’m amazed at your ability to detect someone’s true party affiliation through an anonymous medium such as the Internet. Tell me, do feel an electrical sensation when you actually touch the keys, or does this type of data reveal itself in the form of background patterns via the monitor. Can you please tell me my party affiliation, I’m just curious.

kravitz,
“done dis diva cut”?
we can all tell now,
You want hillary to be president so you can take advantage of her plan to pay for you to go back to school.
Excellent Kravitz.
Kravitz done decided they be for Hillary
sorry, I tried to keep myself from writing this-but I could not.
But this is part of what just gets me.
It was probally some of obama’s far left
backer-that caused “K” to end up thinking to spell and form sentences such as these are either: a-correct or b:cute. it is not.
And since none of us really know these people-why don’t we try to know what we need to know of them through-how they say they will handle the things that matter to us. the issues-

@ alison
OBAMA HAD ADS AIRING ON TV!!!!
HE TRIED TO GAME THE SYSTEM IN CASE HE NEEDED THE DELEGATES, BUT HIS ADS DIDN’T WORK DID THEY?

Would somebody be so kind as to tell us about any substantial difference between the policies of Obama vs the policies of Clinton?
I thought not.
Any difference is trivial indeed!

the difference is Hillary produced her plans for the economy, healthcare, student loans, ending the war responsibly, you know the list.
she produced first.
he copied
go check it
now the media will play it as if he originated the plan but not true-and she is still ahead on the news that comes out everyday. listen to her speeches-she tell what she will do over the next four year and how she will pay for them-and she also talks about what should be done about what is happenings today.

obama would probally still be struggling with the Nation of Islam Minister question he had from the last debate-if she had not “schooled” him right there on national tv for all of us to witness.
That instance right there is why at best he should be vp. and not trying for president.
He said he was not ready for it.
I wish he had stuck by it. and not Kerry,bradley,dean, axelrod and crew talk him out of it.

I am sorry, I think Hillary’s plan for healthcare is better than what obama is proposing
but I will listen to why you think his is better.

jgaw:
Why do you think Clinton’s health care system is better? And what do you think about her FORCING people to accept it or have their wages garnished?

Oh my god, I have wondered for months where Obama followers get their information.It is from Rush Limbaugh. ’nuff said.

So, regarding health care.
What does each candidate think the coverage should be? Will it be a major-medical plan? Will it be as good as the members of congress get? Will it be highly socialized like England (where the richest have private coverage)? Will it have a medicine donut like Medicare has? Will it cover illegals? Etc.
In other words, what kind of meat is in the sandwich?

Obama’s plan is the same, but instead of forcing you to pay before being injured he forces you to pay when you get to the emergency room.

We all remember well I guess how Bill Clinton that Hillary’s would be over were she to lose Texas.
Today we learn that she definitely lost Texas in pledged delegates.
With more than 56% of the results tallied from today’s 284 Democratic district conventions across Texas, Obama currently is projected to earn a 38-29 pledged delegate win in the Texas caucuses, exactly as projected on the day after the March 4th precinct caucuses. The nine delegate margin in the caucuses means Obama will gain a net margin of five pledged delegates from Texas because Senator Clinton narrowly won the Texas primary by only four delegates, 65-61.

@Deirdre
How much will Hillary gain win the right thing is done Florida and Michigan?
and Obama didn’t win Texas! He lost the PRIMARY where there was a HIGHER voter turnout.

Bobby, if MI & FL re-vote, which I hope they do, Hillary will gain a few delegates and so will Obama. The reason she said today that she will stay in the race until those two states’ delegate issue is resolved, is because she wants to get ahead in the popular vote count. She’s currently behind Obama by 700,000 votes. That’s an easier gap to fill than pledged delegates and will strengthen her argument to superdelegates to vote in her favor at the convention.

“She’s currently behind Obama by 700,000 votes”
Make that 814,000; check realclearpolitics for these numbers.

Folks, the discussion of everyone having medical insurance is really a sham. In one of the debates where Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton detailed their health care plans, Sen. Clinton stated that under her plan those individuals who are currently pleased with their medical insurance can keep that plan…”FOR NOW!” The reason she is so vague about how she will force everyone to obtain medical insurance, is because she will eventually have every covered under Medicare or a similar bureaucracy. She intends to eliminate private medical insurance.
Now as for universal womb-to-tomb health care, be very careful what you ask for. Do your homework. Once the federal government takes over the health care system you will not be able to sue for malpractice should something go wrong. But even more importantly, under the guise of preventative health care the bureaucrats will tell us what we can or cannot eat and drink, and tell us what products we can or cannot purchase.
Don’t just shrug this off! It is already happening! Not just in other countries with socialized health care, but right here at home. Some states are already considering forcing us to eliminate the traditional light bulbs and replace them with the compact fluorescent light bulbs. That might sound great until you realize just how much mercury is in these spiral light bulbs. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin, and it’s especially dangerous for children and fetuses. One woman learned the hard way. When her daughter broke one of these light bulbs, her daughter became extremely ill. And it cost the woman $5,000 to have a company come in and decontaminate the room. Again, do your homework!

“The Clintons have been through it already, and come out stronger.”
mmm… maybe Hillary didn’t come out so strong after all, for is she is losing this race.
And if she losing this race because of Obama’s toughness, one might conclude that he is a better and stronger fighter than both Clinton AND the GOP that has NOT been able to tear her down.

Debra Starks has heard the calls for Hillary Rodham Clinton to quit the presidential race, and she’s not happy about it.
The 53-year old Wal-Mart clerk, so bedecked with Clinton campaign buttons most days that friends call her “Button Lady,” thinks sexism is playing a role in efforts to push the New York senator from the race. Starks wants Clinton to push back.
“The way I look at it, she’s a strong woman and she needs to stay in there. She needs to fight,” Starks said at a Clinton campaign rally. “If you want to be president, you have to fight for what you want. If she stays in there and does what she’s supposed to do, I think she’ll be on her way.”
Amid mounting calls from top Democrats for Clinton to step aside and clear the path for rival Barack Obama, strategists are warning of damage to the party’s chances in November if women – who make up the majority of Democratic voters nationwide, but especially the older, white working-class women who’ve long formed the former first lady’s base – sense a mostly male party establishment is unfairly muscling Clinton out of the race.
“Women will indeed be upset if it appears people are trying to push Hillary Clinton out of the way,” said Carol Fowler, the South Carolina Democratic Party chair who is backing Obama. “If you are going to ask her to withdraw, you’d better be making a strong case for it – both to the candidate and the public.”
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy last week became the first leading Democrat to openly call on Clinton to abandon her bid and back Obama, a sentiment shared by many activists worried that a drawn-out nominating contest only bolsters Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain.
Other Obama supporters have echoed that view while stopping short of asking Clinton to withdraw.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson on Sunday called Obama’s lead all but insurmountable, while Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry said the contest would be reaching “a point of judgment” very soon.
“I don’t think it’s up to our campaign or any individual to tell Hillary Clinton or their campaign when that is,” Kerry, the 2004 Democratic nominee, said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “But there will be, I think, a consensus about it, and I think it’s going to occur over these next weeks.”
To be sure, Clinton campaign officials concede her path to winning the nomination is not at all clear.
She almost certainly will end the primary season narrowly trailing Obama in the popular vote and among pledged delegates unless the nullified primaries in Florida and Michigan are counted – an unlikely scenario at best. But Obama is unlikely to end the race with the 2,024 pledged delegates needed to win outright either, meaning the nominee will be determined by roughly 800 “superdelegates” – elected officials and party insiders who can back whichever candidate they want.
Most observers believe the superdelegates are unlikely to risk an intraparty uproar – not to mention the ire of black voters thrilled to support a black candidate – by siding with Clinton if Obama maintains his lead among pledged delegates.
But Clinton advisers believe many superdelegates remain at least persuadable, due in no small part to the influence of women voters on the party and in the general election.
“My e-mail is bursting with women who are furious, and it’s grown in the last week,” said Ann Lewis, Clinton’s director of women’s outreach and a longtime Democratic activist.
“These women are the volunteer infrastructure of the Democratic Party who’ve been proud to support Democratic officials for what they believe and stand for,” Lewis said. “They are very angry that people they’ve worked for so hard would be so dismissive of Hillary and, by extension, of them and what they value.”
Indeed, the gender gap in most of the primaries thus far has been stark.
In California, Clinton bested Obama by a margin of 59 percent to 36 percent among women. She beat him by 54 percent to 45 percent among women in Ohio, an important general election battleground state.
Obama, in turn, has walloped Clinton among men in nearly every state. But he’s prevailed among women in just a handful of places, including his home state of Illinois and states with large black populations.
For his part, the Illinois senator – whose seemingly disrespectful crack of “You’re likable enough, Hillary” during a debate with Clinton may have cost him the New Hampshire primary – said Saturday he did not believe Clinton should end her campaign.
“My attitude is Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants,” Obama said in Pennsylvania, which holds its primary April 22.
Nine more primaries follow, ending June 3.
Clinton insists she’s in it to the end, saying a “spirited contest” is good for the party and ultimately will produce a stronger nominee.
“There are millions of reasons to continue this race: people in Pennsylvania, Indiana and North Carolina, and all of the contests yet to come,” she told reporters Friday in Hammond, Ind. “This is a very close race and clearly I believe strongly that everyone should have their voices heard and their votes counted.”
Campaigning across the state Saturday, Clinton was greeted by large, heavily female crowds that shouted “You go, sister!” and “We’ve got your back!” in support of her pioneering candidacy. Indiana votes May 6.
Marie Wilson, president of the White House Project that trains women to run for office, noted that women typically have rallied around Clinton when she’s appeared most vulnerable – from the revelations of her husband’s dalliance with White House intern Monica Lewinsky to January’s New Hampshire primary after the bruising loss to Obama in Iowa.
“Women have always been asked to step aside if it was somehow for the greater good. In this case, Clinton, and a lot of her female supporters, clearly feel that she would make the better president and that it would not be for the greater good for her to step aside,” Wilson said.

DC Voter
But the Clinton campaign has yet to pay Forty Two for two other February events, and the employee said the campaign has stopped returning phone calls, e-mails and didn’t respond to a certified letter.
But ….but…Hillary already said she couldn’t worry about every under capitalized business in the US. It’s not Hillary’s fault this vendor can’t make an unplanned donation to her campaign. (heavy sarcasm)

Writer’s blog question: What do you think is going on here?
what I think is going on here as usual, is that a schoolyard type agitator is trying to “set up” those he does not like. Hoping “bullies” will do his job for him, while he sits back out of the fray.
Seems as if said writer/agitator simply is so blinded by his own inadequacies, that he must constantly rip and tear at a “very adequate female Presedential” candidate.
If HRC talks to the press, any and all press including conservative, she has somehow “wounded” the ego of those such as the writer.
What a disaster today’s media has become. They carp and pule more than any candidate could begin to. However, in this case, and for this blog writer, anything re HRC seems personal!

I know one thing Obama has been too quiet, and polite for the last couple days. Telling the press “Clinton should keep on running”. WATCH!!! All of sudden something is going to come up AGAIN about Hillary. He’s extremely slithery just like a snake. Have to give it to her the woman is resilient. She’s more woman, than he is a man.

when Obama overstated, the written article classified it as myth and “not true” when Clinton overstated it becomes a lie. When will this end, glossing over Obama imperfections and big bold highlight over Clinton imperfections. Both are imperfect. I think Obama’s true nature is telling when he equates his grandmother with the bigot Wright. I think his mother is crying now to see what Obama has become, belittling blood relatives and praising social relatives. Wow!

You guys just don’t get it. Hillary is getting in bed big time with the ultra right-wing republicans; that’s the whole point of this article that you seem to be missing. It’s not a good thing that she was endorsed by this ultra-conservative rag.
Think! Her supporter praised FOX today; she has praised McCain repeatedly, and is working cooperatively on many fronts with the right-wing media to take Obama down. If she can’t win, she is taking the Democratic party down with her.
Wake up Democrats; you are falling right into the trap of Clinton/Republicans, and this country will pay for it dearly.

If she declared the forces aligned against her the vast right conspiracy one year to suit the trials and tribulations, then she walks away from that concern when it is politically expedient now. My question becomes: who is Hillary really?
She and Bill asked us to fight these people during his presidency. Now that she is making nice with them and their tactics, have they had the kinds of change of heart that forces one to forgive and to forget? What evidence do they have especially when they want her to go negative on Obama?
I don’t know what they, Scaife and the Clintons, have in mind but I don’t think it will be good for progressive. She accused Obama of loving Reagan, but she cuddles up to the people who wasted our taxpayer dollars on investigating the US President for 8 years.
I don’t look favorably on the investigations or her choice to associate with the agents of intolerance.
