Clinton Denies Saying Obama ‘Cannot Win’; Aides Dispute Question
ABC News Eloise Harper Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., denies she told Governor Bill Richardson, D-N.M., that her Democratic nomination rival, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., "cannot win" a general election against presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
"That’s a no," Clinton, D-N.Y., told reporters at the end of a press conference in Burbank, California, when asked if she made the comment in a private conversation with Richardson.
"We have been going back and forth in this campaign of who said what to whom and let me say this, that I don’t talk about private conversations but I have consistently made the case that I can win," she said earlier in the press conference.
Clinton aides now insist the Senator misunderstood the question, asserting the candidate believed she was answering whether or not she would discuss a private conversation.
“I just double checked,” Doug Hattaway, Clinton spokesperson told ABC News, “She was saying she was not going to tell (the reporter) about her private conversation.”
ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos reported on Wednesday’s World News that sources with direct knowledge of the conversation between Sen. Clinton and Richardson, prior to the Governor’s endorsement of Obama say she told him flatly, "He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win."

A source with direct knowledge of Richardson’s conversations with the Clintons added an intriguing wrinkle to the report: Richardson himself told Sen. Clinton and former President Clinton that he didn’t think Obama could win, back when he was (according to the Clintons) telling them earlier this year that he wouldn’t endorse Obama.
"Too inexperienced," Richardson said, the source tells ABC News.

Someone is lying, Richardson, Clinton or George Step.? which is it? She shouldn’t have even addressed this, this just makes her look bad. She said -he said. She already knows the public doesn’t think she is trustworthy, so why do this? Seems dumb to me. Leave to camp Clinton to kill her campagin chances.

Who cares? If Richardson did say that, he changed his mind obviously. If Hillary says that, that’s fine. She probably believes that. And, George’s info was not first-hand.

Ever since Maggie Williams took over, this campaign just can’t help stepping in something. Hell, it’s dancing in the pasture. I think Williams is a smart woman, but knows zilch about politics at this level. Unless Wolfson takes over, Clinton’s had it.

Yet none of these lies
1) Caused oil to increase to more than 100 per barrel , a record
2) Caused the dollar to crumble
3) Causes a half trillion dollar invasion and occupation of an essentially unaremed nation
4) Caused the biggest increase to gasoline pricing IN HISTORY
5) Caused the largest deficit in US history.

It’s 3 am. The ghosts of Presidents past visit Hillary to give her advice to change her ways.

Now let me get this timeline right.
Did she NOT say this before or after she was dodging sniper fire in Bosnia?
Of did she NOT say this before or after the Rose Law Firm records magically appeared on a coffee table in the White House, or after the missing FBI files were returned?
Oh, I got it! It was BEFORE Sandy Burglar stole classified records for the Clinton mafia out of the National Archives, but AFTER she claimed the right-wing conspiracy made up Bill’s DNA being on Monica’s dress!
Is there a pattern here, or what?????

Marty Rickard, like your post.
At the outset, what I’m saying is hyperbole, not literal.
When an animal is suffering, we put it out of its misery. Largely for the animal, some for the owner.
The Clintons need to be put out of their misery and out of our misery. And then the country needs a collective shower to get rid of the filth these two spew.
Yeah, most politicians struggle with the truth, these two, when confronted with facts, take it to another level. She’s laughable. “I needed to find a way to serve the country after I could not get in the military.” Translation: what better way to be self-serving than to run for public office.
Marty, again excellent post. In the workplace, someone does what Bill did, they’re fired & have grave difficutly getting any kind of meaningful job. Come to think of it, that’s him.
It’s not about the will of the voters. Sorry Barack that you got more votes, and the voters think you can win. That doesn’t matter (again, I’m a Republican). What matters is what we, the Clintons, think. Well, let’s rewrite the Constitution: “we the Clinton’s, in order to advance a more perfect form of lying and self-advancement, establish lack of ethics, insure the country is ripped apart politically, provide for Bill’s defense fund, promote welfare that has not worked in other countries and will not work in ours, and secure the presidency of the United States, do ordain and establish that we will do it by any and every means possible, and the lower we go, the better it is for us.”
YUCK!

Based on this, Hillary should fire her campaign managers.
They’ve been sending out press releases saying Obama “can not” win the general election and that’s why super delegates should support Hillary.
Posted by: Dan | April 3, 2008, 5:09 pm 5:09 pm
They are both liars. Remember Richardson’s claim to have been drafted by a Major League baseball team? In this case, she probably did say Obama can’t win and Richardson probably said the same thing earlier, as reported.

She couldn’t have had that conversation. She was too busy saving a baby from a burning building just prior to tackling a mugger trying to steal a 89 year old woman’s purse. Also, it couldn’t have been that day because she was on a secret mission to Iraq to keep an oil pipe line from being blown up so you can fill your gas tank at 3 am.
Posted by: eagle35 | April 3, 2008, 5:10 pm 5:10 pm
Yeah…that’s what I would do…listen to anything that came out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth. She’s a liar and will always be a liar. That’s the only fact that I could find in her exchange. That’s the Clintons for you though, when in hot water deny deny deny and when caught? ask what the of “is” would be and in what context…liars.

Given the lies Hillary has already been caught in I suspect she did say that to Richardson. However, as a long-time New Mexican and one who has been living in the Kingdom of King Richardson, he is a master at spin and lying equally, but I should also point out he learned a lot about politics while serving in the Clinton administration!

Hil didn’t say “Obama cannot win.” She said “he’s such a good guy Obama cannot sin.” Yeah, right!
The problem with pathological liars is they cannot tell the difference between truth and lies. In fact, lies are truth to them when it serves their purpose. But cut her some slack ya’ll. Being under sniper fire running for your life does change a person.

Bill Richardson is only out to help himself. He is supporting Obama because he thinks he is going to win.
If he thought Hillary was going to win he would be supporting her.
None of the presidental candidates are perfect angels that speak only the truth.
Obama lies, Richardson lies, and so does Hillary.
Lieing should be part of the definition of politician.
I am tierd of hearing from the Obama groupies, because they act like rock star groupies calling the Clintons liers.
Double check your candidates statements against the facts and you’ll see plenty he has lied about.
When Hillary wins Richards will have lost a cabinet position.

Who cares? Hillary and her husband are well known liars. One ex-supporter even classified both of them as “unusually good liars.” So why would anybody believe anything that these two professional grifters deny or confirm? They just flap their jaws and stuff falls out. A pox on both of ‘em.
Posted by: G Jiggy | April 3, 2008, 5:21 pm 5:21 pm
Even if Clinton did make such a comment, what’s the difference, it’s only one person’s opinion. The fact is that America really has 3 terrible candidates – Obama, Clinton and McCain -to choose from and will suffer for it. It’s like “choose your poison”: “I’ll take cyanide.” “No, I’d rather take arsenic”. “Oh no, I really prefer rat poison”. Phew! What a threesome!!

if we learned anything from the first clinton in the white house, it’s that we don’t want to repeat history…who can imagine that Hillary will do anything different than what Bill did, what is her incentive to be different NOW? Perhaps if Obama gets in, he will be true to his word and adopt a style that encourages cross-aisle decisions that ultimately HELP America, Americans, and Americas standing in the world…there’s always the chance that we’ll be screwed again by politicians who lie to get where they want to go…. but perhaps, just maybe, someone will emerge to fight for Americans.

I think it is HILARIOUS that Bill Clinton is mad because Bill Richardson lied to him. Its not so funny when the shoe is on the other foot, is it Bill? Bill & Hillary have one goal in mind and will let nothing stand in their way. Their motto is: The End Justifies the Means. They cannot be trusted now or ever.

I’m a middle aged white guy and guess what? I don’t have a problem with Jeremiah Wright. He served in the US Marines and is well respected among his peers in the (mostly white) United Church of Christ. The radical right zombies on talk radio are trying desperately to make Wright seem like the boogeyman but guess what? That dog won’t hunt. Obama’s numbers are higher than ever. The same old BS won’t work this time. We’re all talking to each other on the Internet – pointing out the BS and the spin – and making sure folks know the whole story. And guess what? It’s working! Go Obama!

The Clintons are desperate. Who was it that lied about having the subpoenaed Rose Law firm records?

I’m an Obama supporter and don’t give a rip about this issue. Who cares if she said it or not (she’s been saying it the whole campaign). That’s her argument to the Superdelegates anyway.

Young people,
don’t follow your friends off a cliff by voting for Obama.
Look at the facts and do the right thing instead of the popular thing.
I am in Austin TX and Obama had an ad on the radio station that had some young women talking about how cute Obama is and that he understands their problems.
He actually thinks young women should vote for him because he is cute.
Don’t let those type of tactics fool you.
He wants power and could care less if you think he is cute, and will care even less about your problems when he becomes president.
He began running for president the minute he stepped in the Senate.
He has not done his job in the Senate, but wants the job of Pres.
Let’s see what he can do in the Senate before we give him the Presidency.
Think!

Republicans have nothing of substance that they can use against Obama, and if they start trying to fling mud, then all Obama as to do is remind voters that McCain claimed he would run a clean race.

I am so over this race. I am ready to use my write-in priviledge to vote for Minnie Mouse. Clinton -fire your campaign manager, or whoever it is that’s giving you terrible advice, you really have fallen from grace in the past 2 months. Obama, I’m not buying all your hype, at least not just yet. If you become the nominee you better bring it, because if you don’t and end up losing to McCain, I will be moving to France. au revoir bitches!

That old fart needs all the help he can get just to interpret the headlines in the newspaper. He might have to keep Lieberman around as the puppet-master. It worked so well with Bush, why not McCain?

Obama didn’t say what Reverend Wright did, at least not on tape. You don’t attend someone’s church for 20 years and call them a “father figure” unless you identify with them, sharing their beliefs. If John McCain’s pastor was a member of the KKK, do you think he’d get a “pass” by making a speech about “change” and “hope”? Reverend Wright’s message resonates with Obama…otherwise he would’ve left the church 20 years ago. But to a liberal, I guess voting for him is a way to asuage your own guilt involving slavery. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

WhatTheDeuce Answer to an earlier post:
Yet All Of These Happened After The Dems Won And Took Over Congress To Make Changes
“”1) Caused oil to increase to more than 100 per barrel , a record
2) Caused the dollar to crumble
3) Causes a half trillion dollar invasion and occupation of an fully warned nation instead of pulling together as a nation to end the conflict sooner
4) Caused the biggest increase to gasoline pricing IN HISTORY
5) Caused the largest deficit in US history.
6) Set new records of pork spending
YET so many forget about that.”"
Deuce we do not forget any of your list that is the direct result of 7 years of BushCheney corruption. Democrats won the congress a year ago and W has managed to veto most of the legislation that could help to solve some of the problems, but with the help of republican rep and senators he has managed to continue bleeding this country. Do you really think anybody is so naive to believe this is congress fault? Do you work for Halliburton?

Results from Polling of Pennsylvania voters:
“Clinton voters, by a 64% to 26% margin, believe that American society is generally fair and decent. Obama voters are evenly divided—45% hold that optimistic view while another 45% say society is generally unfair and discriminatory.” (Rasmussen 4/3/08)
I think I prefer to be in the 64 % that think the U.S. is fair and decent. How about you?

Someone said it well…she should not have answered this charge.
After gems such as “…named after Sir Edmund Hillary” and “…under sniper fire in Bosnia” and “…created peace in Northern Ireland”, her denial of saying this is just seen as proof that she actually did say it.
As the saying goes, “if her lips are moving…” you know the rest.

The informed independant observer already knows the Clintons lie pathologically. Until recently though, they had a friendly press uninterested in exposing them.
Be careful though, Richardson has been caught lieing about his past experiences too.
But still, its like a 50 to 1 ratio of confirmable lies.
As for George, he worked in the Clinton campaign in the 90s, and now likes Obama. He would never instigate controversy for mere notoriety!

Bill Richardson has so much more Credibility – than this woman, Hillary Clinton. For the best for the Democratic Party, I hope Penn State – shuts her campaign down.
She has lied about NAFTA (and Ohio and Texas bought it), Bosnia, Muslim Photos, ect ect ect.

Let’s see, George Stephanopolous, Bill Richardson, How do we know them, OH I remember, Bill Clinton coat tails, well I’ll be darned I really appreciate a back stabber and liar, telling whatever they can to stir up the Clinton campaign, I have absolutely no respect for either of them, I never watch Stephanopolous do anything, and Richardson is a boring big mouth, that thinks he is more important than he is. The one thing Richardson said that was correct is OBAMA CAN’T WIN in November. Now he doesn’t want to take credit for it, as soon as Obama loses, He will take credit for it.

For more than a decade, Sen. Clinton’s informal biography repeated the story of her being named for Sir Edmund Hillary, and it was recounted in former President Bill Clinton’s 2004 autobiography, “My Life.”
The problem with the tale, however, is one of timing. Sir Edmund and his Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay, became known to the world only in 1953, after becoming the first men to reach Everest’s summit. Sen. Clinton was born in 1947. She admitted she “mis-spoke”. Anyone see a pattern here?

Why in the world would we believe a word this woman says? And, who appointed her god? She wants to come across like it is she who knows everything, when, indeed all she does is lie, lie, lie. She can’t really argue with what we’ve all seen again and again. (Bosina sniper fire for example.) Oh. That’s right–she “mispoke.” Where I come from it’s called lying. Just plain and simple lying. Go away Hillary. Take Bill with you. Chelsea too. We’re tired of all of you!

This is her problem, every statement she makes is triangulated and calculated, she argues semantics. This is why most of America hates her.
Also, I didn’t think this was much of a bombshell story when it broke yesterday, but her slick rebuttal makes it one now. Most Americans would view this comment and think, “she is lying again.”
Is Obama going to lose? That would depend on what the definition of the word ‘is’, is.

Chances are, most of the idiots that fail to think before they speak to offer support for old man McCain, call Obama a communist, or hillary a bitch, probably voted for Bush……You should not be allowed to have children. As for the Dems that claim to know it all, give it a rest. Don’t act like you know anything about politics simply because you attended your very first state primary or caucus. That doesn’t make you an expert. In fact, your ignorance is shining through. Each of these candidates has strengths and weaknesses. That’s why everyone is so uptight.

It is getting weirder by the minute. The bottom line, according to George of abc, has sources who say that early on Bill Richardson said that he would not back Obama because he was “too inexperienced”.

Obama People: If you want your candidate to win the nomination, please try to state your arguments, real arguments as to why you believe he is the best candidate. In case you have not noticed, half of the voting people does not believe in Obama and no matter what insults you write against Hillary you are not making a casa in favor of Obama. You win arguments with reason, not insults. Why the hate? Do you sleep well at night or do you have nightmares. Good Lord.

There are two candidates who cannot win the presidency. One a great American hero who will find American solutions by waging a war and the other who will raise taxes to promote her causes (self promotion being one of them). Jimmy Carter, Bill Richardson, Bob Casey, Jr, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney and millions of Americans from all races, all ages, all financial background will tell you that Barack Obama is going to win and that those who say that he will not are dreaming all day and night and not just at 3am. Truth will prevail. When Bill Richardson claims that Bill Clinton was never told on his face that he will support HRC, I believe him. It is not very difficult to know from experience which Bill to believe when it comes to truth.

And Barack Obama’s book and speeches read like fairy tales. Embellished, embelished, embellished. All to manipulate us to their cause.
Not one of them has any integrity if you closely examine there stories. And all of them practice the fine art of Spin.

Is “I misspoke” the same as “I lied”? I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is . . . or perhaps the tone of voice?

Hey lets not forget that Mccain was a member of the Keating 5. Typical criminal elements flocking together, and his wife was addicted to drugs that she stole from her own charity organization. But most importantly was his spin doctors who threw his wife under the bus so that it would be a distraction from the big picture of the Keating debacle and how much Mccain was involved. With this housing thing going on in our economy, do we really want someone involved in a Savings and Loan ripoff running our nation?

Please, vote with your grey matter, not your hormones, ladies. I am a woman, but would die before I cast a vote for Clinton.
Speaking of tired, I am SO very tired of the Clintons thinking they are entitled to the White House. I am tired to the bone of this woman’s face and her hypocracy. I don’t deny that she is intelligent, but why does she not use those brains to run a positive campagin? No, she won’t say “die”, even at the expense of her own party’s success. The liberals critize the Bush family because they believe they have a sense of entitlement…welcome to the world of hypocracy.
I recommend people watch HBO’s “John Adams”, currently airing. What an uplifting mini-series, highlighting what our founding fathers (and mothers) went through to establish this country, and now people are actually considering letting all that work and labor and sacrifice be thrown to the wind to have a left-wing, socialist in office. Good God, wake up, people! You will rue the day that you voted for Sen. Clinton.

The Obama campaign has used this underhanded tactic from the very beginning when they introduced race baiting as a wedge to discredit Bill Clinton. Now they are using Richardson to get the two campaigns into a spraying match all over again. Obama is the most divisive candidate ever to hit the Democratic Party!!!
I could care less what Hillary Clinton said in a private conversation with Richardson. And she is correct to deny it. Richardson doesn’t have any judgment at all…look at when he endorsed Obama—right after the Rev. Wright controversy hit the air. What a loser!

Race is not important when you think about the qualities a presidential candidate needs to have. Obama considers himself a black person and is very proud of it, but he is not a black person. Obama is a mulatto. Here is the definition:

Lets learn some Black Liberation Theology.
This is what Obama learnt in the church for the last 20 years. The pastor is a great preacher of Black Liberation Theology.
Black theology or Black liberation theology is the theology of Elijah Mohammed, founder of the Nation of Islam theology of liberation
Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.
To be this sounds like teachings of Osama.
It is scary.

The old Dem establishment is living vicariously through Obama. Perhaps hoping for Obama’s ear to offer advice if he is elected.
Everyone knows that Hillary will not be as NEEDY as Obama, and when she does seek guidance, she’s got Bill.

She is running a race with Obama and he can’t put her away and they think their candidate is so great. Obama supporters say the darndest things.
We don’t want Clinton because we have had a Clinton before. Nothing to do with ability. That is the only things they can say because Obama has not proven his ability.
Many of his voters are voting for these types of reasons, like it is American idol or something instead of the toughest job in the world.

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t said for a general audience. Even if she didn’t say it, the statement follows her normal destructive pattern. One minute she is nice and cordial. The next minute she or a surrogate are hammering away on Obama like he was a Reagan Republican. Clinton has said Obama was inexperienced when she said “I have experience, McCain has experience. Obama has a speech from 2002.” Why deny it now? I guess at 3 am, Zogby called and the poll numbers are coming in low.

Hilliary is angry and bitter because the Democratic party is being disobedient to her, when in her mind they should be being subservient. She believes that she is entitled to the nomination, and she is angry that she is not being given a coronation that she deserves for staying with Bill during their impeachment. I don’t blame her for not wanting to tell the truth; after all if she even so much as started to tell the truth, where would it get her? Back to Whitewater, Vince Foster, impeachment, her history of failure and stalemate on healthcare. I think she is better off avoiding the truth, and living out her life as a combat war hero & veteran of the Bosnian World War.

I am amazed by how many comments reflect surprise that Hillary would lie. Guess they didn’t read William Safire who in a (NYT or WSJ)piece many years back labeled Hillary as a “congenital lier” Wow liberals called William Safire everything except white when he uttered that TRUTH. He had her figured out from the start. That said, believing that Obama is any better is a bad stretch and I guess the liberals now have a choice to make. Pick the lier or pick the dude who will change capitalism to socialism, who admires and accepts as his mentor and campaign religious advisor a crazed Americal hater who believes and says things like “God damn America”.

Guess they didn’t read William Safire who in a (NYT or WSJ)piece many years back labeled Hillary as a “congenital lier” Wow liberals called William Safire everything except white when he uttered that TRUTH. He had her figured out from the start. That said, believing that Obama is any better is a bad stretch and I guess the liberals now have a choice to make. Pick the lier or pick the dude who will change capitalism to socialism, who admires and accepts as his mentor and campaign religious advisor a crazed Americal hater who believes and says things like “God damn America”.

This is so juicy that even the mainstream media cannot hide it the way they normally do when they see democrat incompetence. I’m glad that the American people — even those who don’t watch Fox News — are finally getting a first-hand look at democrats plan, organize, and execute.
Can you name one democrat effort in the past 50 years has not ended up in total chaos, failure, and a huge waste of taxpayer money? You can’t, because there simply weren’t any. And this current set of incompetent players is showing us why….

He pressed the wrong button 6 times (according to him), he said he made a boneheaded mistake re: Rezcko, he’s cheated at caucuses; he doesn’t want the FL & MI votes counted because he’ll lose his lead; his judgement is HORRIBLE and he called me a “typical white person!” He’s a racist!

How can you tell if a Clinton is telling a lie?
Their lips are moving!
Hillary hopes that Obama can’t win in 08 so she can run again in 2012. She knows that her campaign has destroyed the Democrat party, but if Obama loses, she and Bill can re-take control of the party by saying “I told you so”. Over the next 4 years she will work to destroy any potential challengers and McCain so that the door is open again for her in 2012. If Obama wins in November, she’ll have to wait until 2016 and Bill can’t keep it in his pants that long. Bill and Hillary will be finished. They can’t have that, they need the spotlight. More Clinton dirty tricks to come… Stay tuned!

Am I wrong in thinking that Hillary would do worse? I remember the republicans hating the Clintons, both Bill and Hillary, rather strongly.

I think that if Hillary was the candidate it would unify the Republicans like nothing else and probably lose some democratic votes. That seems plain as day to me, so am I missing something?

Young people,
The hateful comments do not help your cause. When it gets down to the superdelegates and they have to consider who is following Obama it is going to work against him. Your youth and inexperiance combined with these type of comments only prove that he got the vote for the wrong reasons. Yes there are right and wrong reasons to vote for a candidate.
Voting is a responsibility and you should prove that your mature enough with that responsibility. Voting for him because he is cute, or not voting for Hillary simply because you don’t want another person named Clinton in the White House are not good reasons. They are imature selfish reasons. The superdelegates will have to choose someon that they think can get the job done, not who they think is cute. They will have to listen to people that are saying go for Hillary because these people want health care for everyone, jobs, and a fighter that will never give up. Remember that before you make another hateful remark about the Clintons.
Posted by: tejasoutlaw | April 3, 2008, 6:50 pm 6:50 pm
Clinton has a track record for lying; in this instance, there are a number of people’s recollections other than Richardson’s as to her insisting Obama can’t get elected, and there are even hints that this has to do with race.
Randi Rhodesis certainly right, and Ferraro wrong, and Clinton cannot be trusted and would make a horrible president.

Obama is unelectable, whether Clinton said it or not. I have read that Senator Clinton is on record saying she wants her supporters to rally behind whoever the Democratic nominee is. Well, that’s not going to happen. Those of us who have stated we will vote for John McCain before we vote for Obama mean it, and it’s not because we are being sore losers or childish. We have legitimate reasons for refusing to vote for Obama, which are numerous and well-known, so I will not bother to enumerate them here. I frankly am appalled at the DNC and all the Democratic cronies around the country lining up behind Obama, knowing what they surely must know about him. What are they doing? Why would they continue to push such a horrendous candidate at us? Are they afraid of something that we voters don’t know about? Or are they actually as stupid and cowardly as they seem? The Democratic Party doesn’t deserve our patronage, if they insist on betraying us this way, and if the party self-destructs, it’s no more than they deserve. I mean no disrespect to Senator Clinton, but this is the way more and more Americans are feeling. And I mean every disrespect to Obama. Never, never, never Obama.
Posted by: Griffin | April 3, 2008, 6:59 pm 6:59 pm
In point of fact, Hillary HAS said in the past that she thinks Obama can’t win – it was actually part of her stump speech in the lead-in to Super Teusday. As for whether or not she said it this time in her and Bill’s conversations with Richardson, what difference does it make whether she said it or not? The bottom line is, Hiilary is still unlikely to be the nominee, and with each passing day that fact becomes increasingly obvious.
With still more polls out that indicate the race in Pennsylvania is narrowing, Obama out-raising her 2:1 in contributions, mounting UNPAID debt to her campaign (to the tune of $8-9 million), and increasing calls for her to step aside from senior members of her own party (the people whom even the Superdelegates look up to for guidance), the writing is clearly on the wall for Hillary ’08. The only thing left to decide is whether or not she’s willing to set her ego aside for the good of her party.

Democrates killing each other,
It’s called a Primary Election.
It’s funny to me that because the republicans did not really have a candidate they want to try and critisize the better candidates on the democratic side.
Words like killing are typical exagerated remarks we have had to live with for the past 8 years.
Obviously there are not too many republicans paying attention to the number of votes.
Hillary or Obama alone will surpass the number of votes McCain got in any given state.
I am a democrate, but do disagree with the way the democratic leaders have been with this election.
We need to be careful not to swing too far left in reaction to the Bush administrations disregard for the American citizens.
Too far left is just as bad as too far right. Wright for example.
We don’t need to overreact like we did with Iraq.

Vince wrote that the Bush/Cheney administration:
1) Caused oil to increase to more than 100 per barrel , a record
2) Caused the dollar to crumble
3) Causes a half trillion dollar invasion and occupation of an essentially unaremed nation
4) Caused the biggest increase to gasoline pricing IN HISTORY
5) Caused the largest deficit in US history.
Reply to #1 – Increased demand from China, India, and developing countries caused oil to increase, not US politicians.
Reply to #2 – The dollar is lower because of lower interest rates in the USA. What is wrong with a weaker dollar? It hurts imports (helps keep jobs in USA) and helps our exports (helps keep jobs in USA); where is the problem with that?
Reply to #3 – You got one out of five right. However, looking past the morality and into the economics, that 1/2 trillion dollars mostly went to salaries for soldiers, supplies for soldiers from USA companies, armament for soldiers from USA companies, support for soldiers and material from USA companies. In other words, that “war” has been the major stimulus for the USA economy for the past three years.
Reply to #4 – Oil prices (as explained in the reply to #1 above) and increased demand for boutique blends of gasoline in urban areas has caused gasoline prices to go up, not politicians.
Reply to #5 – Not bad, you are 2 for 5. If the Republicans lose the presidency in the 2008 election it will be because Bush deserted (if he was ever really on board fiscally anyway) his conservative base on the irresponsible spending area. Republicans are mad at the frivolous spending, not the foreign policy of this administration.
Don’t go stupid on us and blame everything on politics. Sometimes its just us.

It was just announced on the news that HRC now claims she “misheard” what was asked and maybe she did say that to Richardson, but not in those exact words. So she “misheard” and she “misspoke” about the Bosnian snipers. She really has a problem with telling the truth. I, for one, am tired of the Clintons and their parsing of the English language.

Irony.
Florida and Michigan wanted to be more important so they moved their contests up and were supposedly “penalized” by the DNC.
Now that the contest is close and all delegates matter, the two states have the potential to be the deciding factor “if” they are allowed to count.
So the states achieve exactly what the wanted in the first place.
Great precedent, Howard Dean, what’s next?

The thing of it is, if Hillary follows through on her threat to take the campaign all the way to the convention and even wage a credentials fight, it probably means she can kiss another bid in 2012 good bye. The Democrats have long memories, and many, many people in charge will never forgive her for it. Especially if McCain ends up wining in November.
Prediction: If the final choice is Obama vs. McCain, and McCain ends up winning, it will be Hillary who will end up being blamed, not Obama.

Any of you who will say you will vote for the opposition if your star crush does not win the primaries is an IDIOT. Or a Republican. But then there’s no contradiction there.
Here’s a clue for people who need one. It’s about the policies, stupid. It makes no sense to claim the policies of two candidates are too similar, and then say in a hissy fit: “If my candidate doesn’t get in I’ll vote for more war and restrictions on women’s choice, thanks”.
There should be an IQ test before people can vote.

Speaking of the economy and the dire situations we are now facing, including losing our computers and Internet access, there is a very informative

True True Truth,
My problem is Obama has the same policies as Clinton and as Edwards did. He doesn’t have a clear cut plan of his own. He’s making promises but doesn’t ever come out and talk about specifics and how he is going to pay for it.
My second problem with him is links to Rezko, Wright, etc. This man is dangerous for this country, due to the fact that we don’t know what else is lurking in his closet.
I will take my chances with Hillary thanks. At least we know what’s in her closet. In November if she is not the nominee, I guess I will stay home.
Posted by: J | April 3, 2008, 7:19 pm 7:19 pm
Of course he can’t win….Exactly how she said it is nobody’s business. George Stephanopolus says Richardson was saying the same thing…why doubt it.
These little nit picking conversations are not really important. Hillary admits every day she believes that she would be the better candidate…semantics taken out of context from private conversations and fed to the hungry press.
After all Obama has said that Rezco was an “individual I did 4 or 5 hours legal work for” and he was not in church to hear any of Wrights hate talk during the last 20 years.
I believe that Hillary thinks Obama can’t win and that’s because nobody believes Obama didn’t know about Wright.

This isn’t to everyone but most. Instead of finding reasons to not vote for Obama, just tell the truth. You won’t vote for him because he’s black. At least you save your time attempting to be politically correct. This is why that is so funny to me. Hillary and Obama have similar plans for the country.
Someone made a big spill about Obama’s policies being too similar to Hillary and Edward’s policies. But that person would vote for Edwards and Hillary. You do that math.
I’ve also heard people say that they haven’t heard a clear plan from Obama. So tell me where are Hillary and McCain’s clear cut plans. Candidates keep there plans and how they plan to implement them until they are nominated but i guess you don’t know that because you are too blind to see that Hillary and Obama have similar policies but if she doesn’t get the nod you’d rather vote for someone who’s ideas are completely opposite. Very Intelligent

People follow spiritual leaders and join church families because they are like minded. Or, they are uncertain about universal understandings, and seek quidence from these. The whole purpose of a church is for people to enjoy and celebrate their common beliefs! Theres nothing wrong with being like minded either. Who seeks out a group of contrarians and cynics to fight with on Sunday? Your supposed to believe common virtues and principles in your Church!
To believe Obama didnt now what kind of views were held in his chuch (and it is the church, not just the Rev.), is to be a willing fool.
People invest to much hope and emotion into human beings they have only seen on a TV screen. I think now we are witnessing denial and blind infatuation.

Who cares who said what. Richardson is a back stabber and in the same category as Howard Dean. Richardson is looking for a position in the Obama administration if he becomes president and Obama needs Gore to teach him about politics. It looks like Obama is so sure of winning the presidency he’s already setting up his staff. He shouldn’t be that overconfident because the outcome could come out different. Its too early to tell who will win. The reason Howard Dean doesn’t want to seat the delegates is that Hillary would surpass Obama and win the popular vote. He is an endorser of Obama and that’s why he wouldn’t let MI and FL be seated, however New Hampshire changed their primary and was not penalized because Dean thought Obama was going to win that state and did he ever get fooled.

“be bombarded day and night with Rev. Wright’s speeches. ”
The Republicans have tried that particular guilt by association and it’s got stale already. Maybe we should talk about how while McCain was a POW his wife Carol was in an auto wreck (1969), thrown through her car’s windshield and left seriously injured. Despite her injures, she refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner. Upon McCain’s return, he had an affair with his present wife, then divorced Carol.
It’s all about character indeed.

I believe that the word he said was “CHANGE”, getting away from the status quo. The “STATUS QUO” appears to look like the same old: Kennedy, Kerry, Dodd, Leahy, Richardson (Clinton’s cabinet), et al. Then he said “AUDACITY”, which means he is audacious and full of gall. Then he said “HOPE”, saying he was bringing people hope that they could change the old ways in Washington.

OH MY GOD!!! What fools think that “Battleground States” make one bit of difference???? Mariann?

That doesn’t mean a freakin THING in a general election! FOOLS!!! Try thinking for yourselves!!!

Man,
The rhetoric, you Obama people are full of it, He has not won any of the big states needed to win in November, most of the states so far are going to be RED in November, this just shows how most of you are young and never have been thru this again, if the rev would have come out before WY he would have never carried that state, period and there is others that would be suspect too, so much bashing of the Clinton’s shows the true immaturity of most of the posters on here. It is plain to see that most of you were never engaged in one election until this point and until you drank the KOOLAID.
McCain will win in November, you cannot count on the states that are typically red, they are “most typically white” and the Rev got them pissed.
Wise up, doesn’t matter to me he is as easy a target as Hillary is, bring him on The REV will be on so much you’ll know what he said like your favorite tune.
Kleenex for all in November from :
President McCain

to win the nomination one needs 2,204 delegates.
obama cannot doesn’t have that and he connot win this without.
what is so difficult for you obama naysayers to understand?
you think that if you just repeat an untruth it will make turn into a truth?
obama cannot win it! that is the truth!
truth is right there in front of your eyes, for everyone to see it:
obama has raised and burned through about $130 million in the last 3 months. still he cannot win it!
obama has been outspending and outrasing Clinton for the last..what, 6 months?
still, he cannot win it!
obama was not able to win one major state outside his own state.
still, he cannot win it!
no matter what the pundits say: obama cannot win this in a direct election no matter how many peopl, how much money and how much free buzz he is getting!
still, obama cannot win it!

Mariann Pepitone-
I don’t think it is correct to say that the reason Howard Dean is not seating the delegates is to hurt Hillary. The states were told that if they moved their primaries this would be the consequence. If there are no consequences to moving your primary earlier so your state will have more sway and candidates will actually come to you state, then what stops every state from moving their primaries into the December or November or even earlier before an election year? All states could have their primaries on the same day, but then that would mean the candidates would only hit the big states. So, I think the real reason Howard Dean is not seating the delegates is to stand firm on the consequences. There has to be consequences, and they were made aware of them.
Posted by: Andy | April 3, 2008, 8:08 pm 8:08 pm
Who cares if she did??? She can say things like that, he is her opponent. Do you people really think that campaigning for president should be all lollipops and roses, get real! I want her to be tough and I want her to be strategic, this is what a politician is all about. I hope Obama loses in the primary, I can’t stand him and I think he would be a great mistake. If every state had primaries only and we all voted on the same day, Hillary would have win hands down.

Why anyone would be surprised by Hillary doing what she’s doing is beyond me. Let alone try to spin or defend it. We know this is what they do. If you’re saying it’s not intentional at this point, clearly, you’re at best diluded, at worst clinically insane.

The fact is Obama can’t win against Mccain. Right now republicans are voting for him so he gets the dem. nod.
Republicans are ready to spill all of his dirty laundry come general election. GOP already spilled out all the Clintons dirty laundry from bill clintons time and we already know them. They know they can’t win against Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton’s economic policy and healthcare plan are much better than Obama and McCain.
As for Richardson, I think he’s the one who’s lying. From what I remember during the debates when edwards and obama pounds clinton he came to her defense and try to break up the poundings. When he drop out of the race there were rumors of obama and richardson talked out something. Obama has money and he’s buying as in giving twice as much “donations” to superdelegates as was reported before.
The media has given obama too many free passes. He will not survive against the GOP attacks. Hillary Clinton got 3 times negative attacks from the media, fellow democrats, republicans and others than obama and she still standing.

Andy: I’m not a Republican or a Democrat. I’m an independent who has always voted Democratic, because they have always fielded the best candidate. Not this time. This time they’re backing a fraud who may actually be dangerous. And regardless of my affiliation, or lack thereof, any Democrat who is horrified by their party’s choice has every right to vote for the other party’s choice. Democrats don’t take a blood oath to get in and then have to support everything the party does. That’s the very antithesis of freedom. The Democratic Party is WRONG on this one and no Democrat who agrees with that should be forced to follow blindly along party lines for loyalty’s sake, when the party itself has shown very little loyalty to its own people. What is this, the old U. S. S. R., where we have to support the party no matter what? Death to party-jumpers? Ridiculous. All Americans are free to vote as they will, regardless of the party they originally registered for, especially if their party has gone so far afield of what they once stood for. And that doesn’t mean they have to leave. What it means is that the Democratic Party better wake the hell up and pay attention to its people. As I said, I would gladly support and even join a third party, if they field a candidate I can believe in, even if it means the Democratic Party split. I wish the Clintons would do it, because if anyone could make it work, they could. And after the way the party has treated Senator Clinton, they would deserve it.

I probably don’t have the quote quite right, but I believe that Mark Twain once said, “I don’t need to remember what I said, because I always tell the truth.” Or at least something along those lines. Hillary and company must keep volumes or records, but even with that they are never enough.
Why? Because it is much, much too difficult to keep track of decades of storytelling. Heck, I can’t even remember what I said or did yesterday.
I am actually impressed by her ability to keep her “facts” straight. The only problem is that her “facts” aren’t what the rest of us would call facts at all…

He cannot on the one hand be the most ingenius man in the lower 48, and not know the basic thread of true hateful speech he subjected himself and his family too as an active and supportive member of that Congregation for 20 years…it is so transparent.

My apologies for assuming you were democrat, but if tend to lean left, why the hell would you vote for McCain? This is what I was trying to get at. I have heard this same statement from many democrats. If there is not an individual you want to vote for, then don’t vote or write someone in. I just don’t understand how a person who tends to align with more leftist ideas would vote for McCain just because they didn’t like the other candidate. Also, I am not at all implying any of the things you put in your post, but asking the question: how can someone who calls themselves a democrat find anything appealing in McCain?

This primary with the Democrats has gotten so bad that even when you speak your mind or the truth you have to deny it. Hillary probably did say that Obama can’t win, and he probably can’t, but then she denies saying it since she will get criticized for it.

Lettie: You should ask Obama himself that question. If he actually loves and respects the white side of his family, why would he join that racist church at all? And why would he sit there with his family family for twenty years listening to all that bile about his own blood and heritage? Why didn’t he speak up and do some of his much-vaunted “change” and “uniting?” To those of us not emotionally invested in having a black president regardless of his fitness or lack thereof, his inaction and tacit support of that bilious hate-monger Jeremiah Wright, says that Obama either agrees with him, or he’s a coward. He said nothing to stop this vicious anti-white, anti-American bile until his campaign was in danger. Then, the only thing he did was make a pretty speech that didn’t answer any of the questions we have all been asking since we saw those videos. And he basically blamed white America for the hatred spewed by Wright and the enthusiastic cheering of that hateful congregation. I don’t want a president who despises me because I’m white. I also don’t want a president who is such a coward, he spends twenty years doing and saying nothing against this racism, until he was forced to by public opinion, to save his own a**. So, yes, he’s a racist, despite being half white. He must have some serious self-hatred going on beneath that arrogant, elitist veneer. He’s unfit to be president on those grounds alone, without even going into his corruption, lies and lack of experience. Of course I wouldn’t vote for him. I don’t understand the fools who will.

I have been listening to Obama for a while and concluded that he is just like the communists. He has no self respect. He will become a white in front of the whites and will become a black in front of the black and will become a muslim in front of the muslims. This is typical of cheap political game. If democrats want to win this election, they need to project a better candidate who does what he/she say. Its easy to say change in the need of the hour. What change you are going to bring to teh table. Obama is just misguiding the people of this great country.
Posted by: shivaglal | April 3, 2008, 9:04 pm 9:04 pm
OK! So maybe she said it. But the real question is, in what text? Like, “Oh, he cannot win because I’ve worked so hard for this. Please! Please let me when?” Or was it said in the text of, “He cannot win because America will never accept a black president?” If the statement was said in the former context, I fail to see the problem or that it’s an issue. Did Gov. Richardson mention in what text the statement was made? Or did he leave a dangling chad for the rest of us to figure out?

More disgraceful behavior by the Clinton’s! Really can anyone still be surprised? Isn’t it funny how liars always find themselves in the same position trying to blame everyone else for their problems? Even the Clinton apologists are falling off their wagon. Those left supporting these two lying, poll taking white-collar criminals are nothing more than sycophants!
Hey it’s not all lost for the Clinton’s they have upwards of two hundred million in payoffs from Corporate America for keeping the Reagan blueprint to destroy the Middle Class well oiled during their eight years in the White House making sure George W had a well oiled machine when he stepped into the White House.

What difference does it make who might or might not have said what about politics? How can it possibly affect the future of our country? Should we select our presidents based on haow many falsehoods we can technically prove that they made, or on what policies they will work for as president. We have two excellent candidates here. Pick one and grow up.

Let’s see.
Obama is in a racist church by choice for 20 years, and you people don’t talk about it or excuse it.
Hillary talks, whether about sniper fire in Bosnia or about Richardson (a liar, by the way — he didn’t vote the way he promised to, and it’s on the record), and you somehow think that the Hillary issues are more important than the Obama issues.
There is such a profound lack of maturity and integrity in your comments, it leaves one numb.

Average Joe, your math is about as bad as your cognitive ability. Obama has out-collected Clinton almost 2:1. Do you understand that means he’s got far greater support? Capisce?

I know that Hillary is making reference to the general election, but, but if she can’t win the nomination by straight up beating Obama in the delegate count, then how does she justify winning a general election? Whether or not she said it, she obviously thinks it considering she’s still in the race.
Posted by: Karl | April 3, 2008, 9:17 pm 9:17 pm
I am sure Hillary DID say Obama can’t win. I am also sure it was one of those rare occasions where she was actually telling the truth as she sees it. Of course, with gas prices soaring , unemployment soaring, foreclosures soaring, and Congress, once again,siding with the builders and the banks, while letting the Middle Class slip deeper into poverty, what she said does not matter. Barack Obama is not being supported by the bankers or the builders, he is being supported by the little Americans who cannot afford more than $100.00. He is being supported by the people from “we the people”. Folks, THAT is what matters. If Obama can’t win, middle class America can’t win. We probably can’t, and that is why “they” want you to believe Obama is only a tainted dream who can’t win-because “they” don’t want you to win. If YOU win, the CEO’s of oil companies lose, the CEO’s of banks lose, those who are making billions of dollars off your stress and sweat will lose. If you don’t want to win-well, middle class America, just keep on believing that it matters what Pastor Wright said (out of context) 20 years ago. Just keep on believing that it matters if Hillary told the truth today. Just keep on believing self respect and a decent living is just a tainted dream-and it will be. YOU will lose.

I hate them both and would just as soon see them both liquidated but Richardson has got to be the biggest piece of s**t there has ever been. He owes everything he has to the Clintons and he turned his back on them. That is what you can expect from liberal garbage. The Clintons are getting what they deserve from minority America. They pandered to them for so long and now they are seeing first hand the gratitude of minorities.

Too often the narratives seem to run away from the facts when it comes to the media. Hillary said she wouldn’t talk about private discussions but, of course she has been making the case that she is most electable. So of course “that would be a No” refers to not discussing private discussions. But for sure, her whole pitch to superdelegates has got to be that she is more electable than Obama – so what’s the shocking news here. Can you say “Hatchet Job”.

The best way to determine whether the Clintons were lying is to ask yourselves: did either one of them open their mouths and sounds came out? If you heard sound, then they lied. Plain and simple. The only time they don’t lie is when they are asleep. Perhaps they lie in their dreams, but that is a topic for a different discussion. As for Obama, sure, he’s lied. But very few are checking on that. McCain? He’s too busy integrating his POW years into his responses about everything. I respect and appreciate his sacrifice, but being a POW will only get you so much…

Obama is an organizer. Organizers are trained to gather info, research the demographics of the target area and then they say whatever the targeted area needs to hear and like magic, the lip service gets the people to follow him, like little lambs to the slaughter. This case is easy as the majority of America sees we need change. And that’s what he bases his campaign on: change. Also, I thought most people attend church or services or whatever because of common beliefs. All those years and all of the sermons and now, he didn’t know the Rev. was a hatemonger? God help us all if Obama gets elected. I notice the wife hasn’t been flapping to much. Must be the true colors were shining as she let everyone know she was never proud of our country-sounds a bit like the Rev, eh?

Clinton cannot win because of her lie about Bosnia which dishonored our men and women who have dodged and taken real bullets in the line of duty. Her and Bill’s claims that Obama cannot win because of his pastors comments, are not only false guilt by association, but also barely hidden racial prejudice. What they are really saying is “The black guy cannot win because of the radical black things his black minister said at his black church”. C’mon now, let’s be honest with ourselves here.

What Senator Clinton meant to say is that Obama can’t win at bowling. She, obviously, was thinking about Senator Obama’s recent trip to a bowling alley in Altoona, PA, where he scored a 37 in 7 frames of bowling. Her ulterior motive, of course, was to remind Governor Richards (an avid bowler, himself, I understand) that should Obama become her Vice President, the new Secretary of State Richardson could easily defeat him in a pick-up bowling game in bowling alley in the White House basement.

There are far too many making racist comments here. I’ve news for you! The more you act that way, the greater the support Obama will get! Racism is out, beyond the pale, not acceptable, get used to it. Obama is a remarkably talented man. He has great integrity, strong principles, charisma and an appealing vision of a united America. Hillary can only wish she could match that! But she’s not even close. She fails on the first one, she has zero integrity! Zip, zilch, nada. As for her ability to unite, thats beyond a joke.

Laurel, it would be beautiful if we could elect a president to fix all of the stuff you mentioned, but ummmm we can’t. It’s kinda the Republican stance that everybody gets the same shot. Maybe not on a level playing field, but eveybody does get the same shot at success. Even people with a real disability get the same shot. A lot of middle class are going deeper into poverty because of all the middle class STUFF they think they “deserve”. A lot of people who can’t afford it still like to gamble, and it is my contention that many people who think Obama is going to fix everything are doing nothing more than wasting there money on a lottery ticket … typical middle class behavior.

Obama must be spending tons to buy superdelegates. It seems the wise New Jersy Governor who was not wearing his seat belt going 90 miles and hour may be waffling. He spent over 60 million of his own money to win the Governorshiip and his approval rating has been dismal. He must need a new pasture and the extra coins to run for something else. With support like that, Obama is building a team of integrity and trust. He is bringing everyone together in unity and hope. Have at it Republicans.

Quit trying to make an issue out of every word that comes out of her mouth. Sounds like she did just misunderstand the question if you read what she said about private conversations. And so what anyway, if she did say that to him, it is just what a lot of people think if they were honest. Quit nit picking at every little thing because it is a slow news day. Besides, why doesn’t Obama’s constant misspeaks and inaccuracies get as much attention at Clinton’s, like his lie about when his parents met, his ties with Rezko, ties with Wright, fabrication about ties with the Kennedy Family and how his father came here, and who knows what else! The press just keeps looking the other way and not publicizing his negatives. This whole primary season has been ridiculous, unfortunately, I’m afraid the joke will be on us if a totally inexperienced and unprepared candidate wins the White House.

No way. She would accept the rules she agreed to. They call the caucus states “undemocratic” uh, despite the long-held tradition, I don’t recall Bill relinquishing any of his caucus won states when he was running. Now all of a sudden, those methods are no good and somehow not moral.Now Obama can’t win. I think they know he can – and it is an idea that repulses them. They will stoop to every low trick they can. They will lie and deny. Lie and deny. Bill’s wagging finger and red face and Hillary’s arrogance for eight years?

Can’t win? Do people really think, at the end of the day that democrats won’t vote democratic, regardless of the nominee? If Hillary wins, Obama will graciously stand next to her and endorse her and most of his supporters will do as he asks. Likewise, when Obama wins the nomination, Hillary will be Healery. She will pull the party together. One of these folks has to return to the Senate – has to live with their political reputations. So, Obama will win all the blue states any good Democrat usually wins, like NY, NJ, Mass. If he wins 80% of the newly registered Dem. voters, he is a shoe in. You put Obama up against McCain, Rev. Wright and all, and he is going to win. People want the change. I wanted McCain in 2000 – I sent him money. I don’t feel that way about him now. It’s just BS that Obama can’t win. Hillary can’t believe she is losing.

irma, how many Catholics stayed in their churches after the pederasty scandals? How many people continued to send money to Rev. Fallwell after he said 9/11 was due to homosexuality. There are preachers out there who say Hurricanes are sent by God to punish people like those in New Orleans. People sit in thier pews and eat that up nod their heads and write checks. To me all of that is just as obscene if not more so than what Rev. Wright said. All these so-called religious leaders are hypocrites and nobody anywhere ever calls any of them out for their hypocrisy, let alone thier parishoners and congretations. So that arguement that Obama should have stomped out of his church is ridiculous when many other people tolerate similar hateful and off the wall comments from their religious leaders. Be honest. There shouldn’t be a Catholic in Mass after what went on in the Boston parishes. Terrible crimes against kids. Terrible. But people still went, wrote checks. Don’t throw stones…

I’ll say it! Obama can’t win because Florida & Michigan won’t vote for him.
And we are going to start taking down our local politicans too, starting with the Obama supporters that want to screw with our votes.
Do you hear crickets chirping?

Common Sense there are equally hateful things dished out by Clinton supporters on these boards. Unbelievable stuff. Nonsense retorts that insult the opposite side only show the ignorance of the poster. They don’t use reason or intelligence – they just throw insults out. And believe me, it is evenly distributed from the two passionate camps. Sad, but true.

I guess it would kill ABC to run something positive about Clinton. The media bashing of Clinton is getting so bad, I am beginning to suspect Obama of giving some of his 40 million to CNN and MSNBC. It’s embarrassing to watch these grown men get so hot and bothered by a political candidate.
The Hardball guy from MSNBC is the latest interviewer to get himself all worked up and excited by this guy. I have to change the channel because it makes me feel sick.
The sad thing is you are all losing credibility by manipulating the news rather than reporting it. Some might even say it is unconscionable.

About the Michelle Obama comment about being proud of her country. Everybody omits the word “really
from the quote. THAT IS SIGNIFICANT. For the first time I was really proud of my country” Implicit in that is that she has been proud before.
I am proud of my daughter. But I was really proud of her when she gave up the chance to go to Paris so she could help me take care of my sick aunt.
That word changes the context. Nobody ever repeats her quote correctly. Of course they don’t – it’s better to make her look hateful. Same thing about not swearing in on a Bible, but a Koran. There is a muslim in Congress who did that but it wasn’t Obama – but only out of context quotes and lies get repeated.
If you repeat a lie often enough, people will belive the lie is the truth.

katmido 302: I respectfully disagree with you. As far as I know, the catholic people stayed in the churches, but the priests were thrown out, charged, judged and sentenced. I do not know of any parishioners that stay in a church knowing that their priest was a pedophile. As to the other examples, we have all type of people, and unfortunately there are people who believe what they preachers say and that is why they stay in the church. So, if Obama did not agree with the preachings of his preacher, he should have found another one because there are million of churches in this country. When you do not like the way your preacher does things, you move on until you find the church that is more in accord with your values.

Obama is a joke from day one. He’s a freshman senator, if he would show up for work. Obama resume: drugs, association with criminals, affirmative action college, political career started with accused criminal Resko. His association with Resko, Farakhan, Rev. Wright, Ayres, Auchi, and supported the PLO and Malcom X, and allowed the Black Panthers to post their support on his web site – has demonstrated Obama’s judgement…

Rocky, you are dead on. THere have been horrible atrocities commited throught history in the name of God, for the betterment of some religion. No faith is exempted. If Christ hadn’t risen he would turn in his grave.
And here we are, having a war of words over religion when noone that I can see has any right to take a high ground.
Remember after the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Bill was seen going to and fro church with his Bible under his arm. All to calm the electorate to show them all he was a good and faithful servant. Religion has become a prop in politics. It needs to be taken out.
For me, it’s more obscene to send boys and girls overseas to get their legs blown off and their brains destroyed by IED’s than not walking out on a ranting goofball preacher. That is the behavior I look at when I will judge who I vote for.
Posted by: katmido302 | April 3, 2008, 11:36 pm 11:36 pm
All of the republicans that get on these blogs crack me up. They really think that McCain, the “patriot” who won’t even sign the GI bill currently in the senate to take care of our returning troops is actually going to win this election–BTW both Clinton and Obama have already signed on. Who really cares about America’s soldiers? Definitely not the republicans–They are on their way out. Hassert’s seat is now dem–Republicans are lining up to retire. We will take the white house, senate, and house–Change is coming!

katmido302: I agree with you in certain things. I do not judge and really forgive people since I am the first one that have mistakes. I used to go to a church when I was a little girl where my grandfather was the minister. I enjoyed it very much specially because we used to used to go to preach to the poor areas, and used to preach to the drug addicts and prostitues. After my grandfather passed away, the elders hired a student seminarist that used to live in the church and continued with the ministry of my grandfather. He decided one day to marry a couple and the girl was pregnant and also to baptize the baby of a prostitute. The elders decided that that was not something that can be allowed in the church according to the principles of the Bible. I forgave them, but I definitely changed the church. Again, I do not know why Obama stay in this church for 20 years and I do not judge him, I can only base my opinion on my values and principles and that is something that I would have not done. But, anyway that is not the reason I do not believe he is the best candidate. The incident with the church would have no relevance in my evaluation of him if I would believe he is the best candidate.

West, I am 52, a secretary, White, Irish, catholic and I am a registered Republican. Voted that way all my life. GWB disappointed me. Mccain disappointed me this year when he pandered to the far right. I dont want any more political dynasties:bush clinton bush clinton. Don’t you see the power brokers are just taking turns? I am sick of it. No one is going to force feed me on anybody. I don’t rely on talk shoes and sound bites. Ive done some research and above that, trust my instincts. Sen. Obama’s biggest talent is the 1million 200 thousand regular folk who donated. His resource is us. He doesn’t take us for granted like these other machine people who tell us what we want to hear and we all bob our heads up and down and salivate and say oh yes oh okay I heard what I want so you have my vote. By all accounts, Obama and Hillary are very close in policy. The difference is their integrity. Obama is by far the more genuine. Not perfect, but he represents major change. He represents us because it is those huge crowds of people and new young people who are the power behind his candicacy.

I did not vote for obama but I can say why in a positve way. I do not have to bring out every negative about him. I do not like clinotn but I can tell you why I voted for her. I like mcCain and I can tell you why I will not vote for him.

Absolutely she lied. She was asked a simple yes/no question, and instead went into a ambiguous rant, beating around the bush. had she not made the statement, she simply would have said “No, I didnt say that”.
Hillary and Bill are two peas from the same pod. They have no trouble lying to serve their self interests. I dotn know how they can continue to hold theirselves out as leaders in the public eye. Real leaders dont behave this way.

I do agree that the media is so completely biased toward Obama. I also know that if he should win the nomination myself and my husband WILL be voting for McCain. McCain’s not stupid he see’s this in the media. He know’s this idea is being passed around out there.
Hillary supporters are so loyal to her that should the system fail and she not receive the nomination we will go with McCain. I am that opposed to everything that Obama is. I don’t trust or believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He’s too much like those slick religious evangelists that only tell you what they think you want to hear. They’re out for the warm fuzzy value.
The reason people have such a biased view toward Obama is because all HIllary’s dirty laundry is out there for people to see already. Do you honestly think he is that perfect? DO you honestly think that he has no skeletons in his closet? Just watch. See what happens if he gets the nomination. You will hear ALL his crap. All his lies will be exposed and then where will you be. You will have lost your opportunity to nominate the one person who actually knows what they’re doing.

So, many of us feel that Obama is unelectable, and if he is nominated, it plays right into K. Rove’s hand.
By the time Rove’s smear team is done with Obama, he can’t even get elected as a dog catcher.
Wake up Obama supporters. Ralph Nader supporters cost Democrats white house in 2000. Don’t let that happen again.
Obama is too inexperienced to run this country. More importantly, he can’t beat McCain, or anybody else in general election. He is half too black to be Prsident; this has to change, but too may Americans are still racists.
At least HRC has Bill Clinton to run the country for her. Last time I checked we had 8 prosperous years under Bill Clinton Presidency.
Don’t fall for Obama’s ‘change we can’ bs, like how some democrats fell for Bush’s ‘compassionate conservative’ bs in 2000.
For the record, if Obama is nominated, I will vote for him in losing but novel cause to advance racial equality. Just like I did in voting for Kerry, Gore, Carter…, all in losing cause because these same Obama supporting democrats can’t get their act together to nominate someone who can win general election.

Barack Obama has no experience, folks, it’s as simple as that. The people who see beyond all this petty crap know that Hillary Clnton is the best choice for America during these troubling times. And if not her, then another patriot John McCain. Sorry, it’s just as simple as that.

hey o, msnbc also reported that Obama was closing in on Clinton before the California primary where Cliton won by double digits. msnbc is pro-Obama network, and not to be believed…
Clinton is ahead in Pennsylvaina and Indiana (working class state and racist state) where she will win the primaries there.
Question is can she win N. Carolina?
I predict that who ever wins N. Carolina will win the nomination.
If Obama wins N. Carolina, McCain can start to celebrate his victory in November.

Posted by: Libertyandlife | April 4, 2008, 1:27 am 1:27 am
I know many Republicans who are going to vote for Obama – not because they agree with his policies, but because they know they are going to lose, so at least get someone in there to shake things up – really put the fear of God into the congress, lobbiests and so-called power brokers that they should be listening to the public and not special interests. They want a drastic change and for once, maybe just once, the people will have something to say this time. I think that is why Obama’s campaign has surprised everyone – because ordinary folks are responding to someone genuine. His inexperience, such as it is, is a benefit. It means he isn’t tainted yet by DC. He gets a good VP, puts John Edwards in as Attorney General, he will be a good president. But I agree with many posters that Bush Clinton to the second power is too much power for two families to have. A possible 32-year stranglehold? No thank you.

Libertyandlife, to achieve your goal of ‘stop the corrupt Republicans to continue bleeding and denigrating the country’, we need a candidate that can defeat McCain in general election.
Problem with this strategy is that, just as Nader supporters of 2000, Obama supporters are too drunk on cool-aid to see that their candiate can’t win. By nominating Obama, Republicans will have a land slide win. Does anyone really believe Obama has a chance to win Florida, with elderly, Cuban, and Jewish voters in Miami? Fat chance.

I get an impression that many of Obama’s support come from dislike and fatique over Clintons.
But, what happens in general election, when Obama is matched up against McCain.
I believe many of these Clinton hating dems like McCain, and may chose to vote for McCain over Obama.
If that happens, it’s game over Obama.
You can kiss Florida, Pennsylvania, W. Virginia, Nevada, New Mexico goodbuy, and you may not win Michigan, Ohio either.
SUPERDELEGATES – IT’S A DIFFICULT CHOICE. IF YOU HAND CLINTON A NOMINATION, YOU MAY BE ACCUSED OF OVERTURNING WILL OF THE VOTERS. BUT IF YOU NOMINATE OBAMA, YOU KNOW HE CAN’T WIN. SO, QUESTION YOU HAVE TO ASK IS HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT DEMOCRAT TO WIN THE WHITE HOUSE? IF IT WERE UP TO ME I WI’LL TAKE THE WIN. WINNING HEALS EVERYTHING, LOSING STARTS BLAME GAME.

Chris, you’re so right about the arrogance of Obama and his supporters. I’ve never seen such a level of vitriol from any group. Even Republicans have treated democrats with more respect than Obama supporters treat their fellow democrats. I liked Obama before I encountered his supporters in real life and especially online and now for the first time in my life the mere mention of a Democrat’s name makes me tense up and feel angry and anxious. I’ve never felt that way about any politician regardless of party but my encounters with Obama supporters have been so bad it’s a visceral reaction. Worse, every time I try to remind them that if Obama gets the nomination these feeling will have to be addressed I’m usually insulted for my trouble. IMO, this spells big trouble in November.

OK, Bosnia and the snipers was bad enough, but this?! This is elementary school level stuff. I can’t even fathom the depths of immaturity here.
Can you imagine being on her staff these days? They must be shell shocked. It’s one thing to run against another campaign. It’s another thing to run against a very well run campaign when your campaign has no chance of winning. It’s got to be pure HELL, however, to even attempt to do that which is impossible when your own candidate is working against you this clumsily.

Can’t win? Obama has yet to win a large state. Don’t you Obama supporters find that odd? He’s the front-runner but can’t win any of the large states. That alone ought to put Hillary as front-runner status. The only state Obama has won is red irrelevant states that won’t mean anything in the general election. It sounds like you Obamacans are delusional ones because he’s fixing to lose another large state in Pennsylvania.

All the Obama supporters/apologists are very indignant about Hillary’s Bosnia exaggeration but are ignoring the lies Obama made. Let us count them. In his 20+ years of attending TUCC he never heard any contrversial/incendiary sermons from Rev. Wright. Next day in his speech he admitted he had heard some of them but as late as yesterday will not say which ones. He told a Selma audience that Kennedy family genoristy his father to America. LIE. In one of the debates when asked about Rezko he said he did five hours of legal work for him. LIE. Turns out Rezko was a close friend and a fund raiser for him for 17 years. Barack Obama told a Selma audience that the March on Selma resulted in his conception. WRONG. He was born in 1961 where as the Selma March happened in 1965.

Didn’t Obama call her untrustworthy and she was unelectable a few weeks ago? I Find a huge double standard her. Where was the outrage?

Posted by: MR | April 4, 2008, 4:15 am 4:15 am
Cosmo – Could it be that there just isn’t anything good to say about Clinton? If so, then the news either has to remain quiet (or, to use a Wizard of Oz analogy, not look behind the curtain), or they have to report what they do find on her. When I was growing up, my mother always told me that if I didn’t have anything nice to say about someone, then I shouldn’t say anything at all. Well, at age 52, I’ve grown far too cynical, and have far too much experience with a Clinton in the White House, to give any credence to that lesson, and ABC News is no different.

The greatest economy ever? Arguable, especially when you look at the facts (those pesky facts that keep getting in the way of a Clinton “reality”)… but we did get 9/11 just 8 months after he left office, with all of the planning for that attack occurring during his Administration (including the trips the pilots took to the U.S. in order to take Jumbo jet flying lessons under the student visas issued to them by the Clinton Administration). Hey, maybe if we put Hillary back in there, we can set ourselves up for ANOTHER attack, and THEN she could honestly say she’s the GREAT UNITER.

I suggest you go back and read the 9/11 Commission Report – I know, it’s long, and it’s boring, and it’s full of facts that contradict Pope Clinton I and II. Assemble a chronology of events between 1993 and 9/11/2001 – be sure to include the dates of: 1) terrorist attacks on U.S. interests both here (WTC, 2/26/1993) and abroad (Khobar Towers 6/25/1996, US Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya 8/7/1998, USS Cole 10/12/2000; 2) the dates of Clinton’s impeachment milestones (impeached by the House on 12/19/1998); 3) the dates of his responses as CINC of the U.S. military to the above attacks (cruise missile attacks on Afghanistan and Sudan on 8/20/1998, just 3 days after Clinton was called to testify before a grand jury and his subsequent nationally televised address later that evening in which he finally admitted to having an inappropriate relationship; and his bombing campaign against Iraq during Operation Desert Fox on 12/16 to 12/19/1998, with the last day of bombing coinciding with his impeachment by the House; and 4) the date that bin Laden gave approval to execute the 9/11 plot (late 1998 to early 1999, during Clinton’s second term). Clinton’s 8 years of foreign policy missteps resulted in 19 terrorists hijacking 4 aircraft, crashing 2 of them into the WTC and 1 into the Pentagon just 8 months into George W. Bush’s Presidency, changing every priority that he may have had as he began his first term.

Now, who started this war in Iraq???

No! Hillary is no snake–BUT she IS a politician. WE –the American public– have created this mess by our collective ignorance and bias. WAKE UP AMERICA –and not just evangelical America–all of us who want to live in a good and just America–need to pay more attention to what’s going on and really understand the issues at hand–that’s your job as citizen, taxpayer, and voter! I know that I’m probably preaching to choir–but frustration has lead me to this post.

MR – Yeah, 4,000 deaths in 5 years… the LOWEST casualty rate in the history of the U.S. I’m glad you weren’t around during the American Revolution, where we lost more than 25,000+ soldiers, or the Mexican War where we lost 13,000+ in just 2 years, or in WWI where we lost 116,000+ in 2 years, or WWII where we lost 408,000+ in 2 years. We lost more than 13,000 in 2 months on the shores of Okinawa, and another 7,000 in 1 month on the island of Iwo Jima. If you’d have been there, worried about casualties, we’d all still be paying taxes to the King of England, with a far different definition of freedom and democracy in the dictionary, and wondering what marvels might lay east of Tennessee. Of course, we wouldn’t have had to have enured the Clintons… so there’s a pretty close trade off.

MR – I can hear you now… “Damned those pesky facts!!” The FBI agent tasked with interogating Saddam Hussein, and who appeared in 60 minutes a few weeks back, affirmed that Saddam Hussein was doing EVERYTHING he could to convince the WORLD that he in fact had WMD, and that he would use them on a momment’s notice, just he had in the past against his own people. Now you’re condeming Bush for going in and trying to remove them? Tell you what, you give me a country the size of California, a couple of semi-truck trailers to hide, unlimited funding, and several years as the dictator of the state – able to kill any witnesses, and I can guarantee you that I’d be able to hide those trailers where you’d NEVER find them, even to this very day. That we COLLECTIVELY bought into what seems to have been a bluff (because of the above, the jury’s still out, frankly) was just Saddam’s miscalculation.

MR – “most expensive war ever known to mankind.” And we lost as much in the stock market in just the last 60 days as we’ve spent to date in Iraq. As for being an illegal war, you’ll need to cite the law that you think is being broken. I’ll need the United States Code (USC), the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), or the paragraph in the Constitution of the United States. Then you’ll need to tell me why, when Bill Clinton bombed Iraq in 1998 in his attempt to distract us during his impeachment proceedings, it was a LEGAL action; and when GWB continued the aggression, it was ILLEGAL. Facts, MR, most of us want FACTS.

You know, I hate the fact that the media wants to drag this thing out. I think that Hillary really BELIEVES that Obama can’t win. Even though she can’t say it, it is implied that Obama’s race will play a serious role and the GOP will go after every negative sterotype about African Americans (like the media did with his Pastor) without attacking his race directly. That is why this was a PRIVATE CONVERSATION!! Obama is right in that these attacks are divisive and serve to appeal to the prejudice in some Americans. It’s not fair but that’s the kind of world we live in and Hillary knows it. Is that a reason to give up? Absolutely NOT!!! Dr. King could have easily given up and accepted that Segregation is the world they lived in. Obama knew this was going to be a tough fight getting into this thing. He came prepaired. Hillary thought it was going to be smooth sailing for her. The truth is that I adore both of them and both will make fine Presidents. But, this race has clearly split the party and their are hard feelings of resentment on both sides. I think the longer this fight continues, the lesser the chance the democrats will have at winning. That is a historical fact. I think its time for Hillary to graciously step aside. Obama has the financial infrastructure and political machine in place to take on the GOP. With Hillary’s help, the dems would be unstoppable.

Ron, statements like that are what divides the party. The truth is that Obama and Clinton want the SAME THINGS for our country. They just have different ideas for how to do them. I will vote for Senator Clinron if she is the nominee (albeit I will be very bitter about it) but I know she will be lying and cheating to accomplish what I believe America needs the most. If you believe in those same principles, you should support her or Obama. BTW, I am an Obama supporter. Let’s stop smearing the candidates because we hurt only ourselves.
Posted by: Democrats United | April 4, 2008, 6:20 am 6:20 am
Democrats United – I have voted for the Democratic candidate FAR more times in my life than I have voted for the Republican or Independent candidates combined. That said, if Hillary Clinton somehow ends up as the Democratic nominee, I will certainly vote for one of the other candidates. Further, I’ll set aside my position on the issues and vote for the candidate that will most likely BEAT her. I will have no hand in putting a Clinton back in the White House. If Obama gets the Democrat’s nod, I’m already decided – I’ll be voting for him.
Posted by: NamakoOH3 | April 4, 2008, 6:29 am 6:29 am
There is a lot of people that want Hillary to be the nominee just so they can knock her out of the box in November.
It’s a GOP conspirscy to hsve their people vote for Hillary along with the democrats now that the GOP has their man.
Then they will all vote for John in Nov and along with us that don’t want the Clintons that will be 52% democrats and 100% republicans voting for McCain
What a concept!

To NamakoOH3 and Ron——— You all are simply reacting from anger. The issues are bigger than you think. If you vote for McCain and more trrops die and are sent home in body bags over a sensless war, How will that make you feel. If the GOP pushes this counrty further in the toilet, how would you react in 2012 when things have all but gone bad and the European Union have taken over as the Chief Economic World Power? Naww, I’ll take the lesser evil (Clinton) over any GOPer Any Day. Yes, they are slick and slippery but at least I could sleep with one eye open as opposed to not sleeping at all.

To K.F. Miller —————– The Wright Scandal was an interesting one indeed. Can you guess who said the following: “God didn’t call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war,” King said of the fighting in Vietnam. “And we are criminals in that war. We’ve committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and I’m going to continue to say it.”
That was Dr. King (NOT Reverend Wright) two months before his assassination. Notice how similar they sound? America does not fully understand the black church or the black community. That is why Obama gave the speech. So they could be educated on the matter.

This is yet another example to show what the current mainstream media is upto with Clintons who are going through the same phenomenon that Al Gore went through in 2000. Anything they say or accused of saying works against them in a dramatic fashion whereas the Senator Obama could easily get away with almost anything and get ahead in polls. Remember, early this year, he said that the GOP will have some ‘dirt’ on Clinton if nominated. Was that his projection or was he trying to say that they do have some? As Mayor Koch recently indicated, I am completely dumbfounded with the current state of the politics.
Posted by: DesiVoice | April 4, 2008, 9:25 am 9:25 am
Linda you seem to be more occupied by little white lies the media makes up against Clinton yet you give those evil tyrants Bush/McCain a free pass. They take lying to a level never seen before in the history of this country. There is a difference when you lie and troops die. To me it looks like Richardson was the one who stated that about Obama. And so what if she said “He can’t win”. I know one thing he can’t win any large states. And that’s a 100% fact. Has he won a large state yet? The answer is NO.

What is the big deal about saying Obama can not win.
First of all I question why Hillary as a presidential candidate can not longer say anyting without being disected at every word.
Goodness what happened to a normal political election process ?
In past elections in all history candidates have shown confidence in order to win and casted doubt and lack of qualifications to get the voters look closer at the other candidate.
Here with Hillary it is made out to be a big unjustifyable act .! Why?
Is the golden media boy Obama not tough enough to handle anything without the media crying out ” Foul” on behalf of him.
It is withoubt a doubt ridicilous to make an issue to out of a” He can not win statement”
Allow her to be confident and cast her level of self assurance”
Instead the Obama camp is more than eager to end this and the delegates jump on their side because the reality that Obama will loose most of the remaining primaries .It is precisly the
fact of the bad note he will end the upcoming primaries to why he would like to see and end to this sooner than later.

Someone stated here if you don’t vote for Obama it’s because he is black. Hellooo the man has no experience and very poor judgment, but I should vote for him to prove I’m not a racist?
I’m not voting for him BECAUSE he is a racist and full of it.

Trooper..
Thank you, I’m tired of people saying that they support one person, but if that person doesn’t win they’ll vote Republican. That is completely childish, and predjudicial. It would be one thing if they said they’d vote for Edwards, if the other didn’t get the nom. It absolutely makes no sense. I hear one is to inexperienced, but they both have very similar experience, because one was the first lady doesn’t give here that much more experience over Obama. I think they are both great, I personally want them on the same ticket, I don’t care which one pres and vp. What I do know is that whomever doesn’t get the nom will support the other. So if anything support that person’s support.

Who is a professional lier and flip flop? The answer is Obama.
By interviewing by Fox News, Obama said that he has not heard his pastor making hateful speeches and a couple days later in his speech he stated Yes.
Obama lied about his relationship with Rezko at first then came out to change the story around.
The timeframe of Obama’s story of Kenya trip to US is confused because he made it up.
Obama did not vote for Iraq war because he was not in the Senate at that time, later Obama said that he agrees with the way Bush conducted the war in Iraq and voted for funding in Iraq.
Is that enough to get a title that Kerry had four years ago? Yes indeed. I can call him MR. FLIP FLOP! Go away Obama!Go back to where you belong!

Why all this fuss about experience as first lady? We don’t expect Michelle Obama to be a good speaker, articulate or inspirational just because her husband is. Being a first lady doesn’t mean that all your husband’s experience gets transferred to you.

HIllary wrote a letter to American Axle’s CEO to stop the strike that is hurting the economy- American Axle’s CEO is asking to cut workers wages in half while the CEO has already cut thousands of jobs with 2 buy outs and has built several overseas plants – while making millions in profit. Hillary is action and is proactive while Obama is timidly sitting on the sidelines on all of the critical actions. He isn’t even attending MLK event in Memphis. Obama is a coward. Hillary stands up for the American worker__THANK YOU HILLARY. Please donate whatever you can to keep this energizer bunny working for America’s well being. She is tough and tackles head on the most daunting issues others shy away from- like Obama. I also cannot believe how many are being led by the nose by their children’s & grandchildren’s opinions – but then this younger generation has been indulged by their parents. Go HILLARY! DONATE FOR HILLARY to show your support and backing as well as to give her the fuel she needs to get her message across. GO HILLARY & THANK YOU for the LETTER!!!

Gosh, you Obama people are really worked up over nothing. Who cares if she said / thought / knows / dreamed or even drew a picture saying he can’t win. This is normal. I had a conversation yesterday about whether he can or can’t win too. So have millions. What is the big deal? Just my opinion, but Obama is A LOT less likely to win in the general election than Hillary for many reasons. Here is a few: (1) many of the states he has done well in during the primary will go Republican in the fall (e.g. Utah, Idaho, SD, ND, etc.), (2) Obama is running worse vs McCain in comparison to Hillary in the key battleground states according to polls from the past week in OH, and FL for example, (3) Obama is winning in some states based on getting 80-90% of black voters, but the % of black voters is much smaller in the general election than in the primaries (e.g. SC goes from 55% to something like 25%, same idea for MS, VA, etc.), (4) Hillary’s position on Iraq hurts her in the primary but will help her in the general, and (5) Obama claims to be a uniter who will work across the aisle, he has not really done so and this idea will not fly in general election vs McCain who has been doing it for years. Hillary has been doing it as well while in the Senate.

Bottom line – I will not vote for a Clinton ever again. I’d rather have the office stand vacant for 4 years – honest to god, there should be a “none of the above” choice on the ballot. If that get’s the majority vote, then we start all over until we find someone that gets a majority. Again, I will NOT vote for a Clinton. We are many months out still, and the ballots for the General Election haven’t been printed yet. Maybe a well-qualified Independent candidate will stand up and say, “Oh hell, I guess I’ll serve.” He/she’d get my vote over a Clinton.

Are you even watching the delegate numbers? I think a lot of people simply do not want to see an African-American in office. Personally, the Clinton/Bush era is over and for good reason. Move on people…it’s time for someone different who has some new ideas. Hillary will do anything or say anything to win, but she’s digging herself a deeper and deeper hole. Sit back and see the reality of what is happening.

Some of you say the rise of Black voter turn out in this election is because; Obama is Black. Being a Black Man in Salt Lake City this is some what true. However, I think that those of you that are thinking that way; are forgetting one important factor. The reason why Black Americans are so motivated this time is because of Obama’s appeal to White Americans. You see Blacks have always wanted to communicate with Whites on a level playing field. Obama weather you like him or not he levels that playing field so we all can communicate on a different but equal level.
He is half Black, and half White and a large number of White Americans like him. So that allows alot of Blacks to come out in join with White people in supporting him, it makes it ok. Believe me; if the majority of White people did like Obama, his support would not be as strong from Black Americans. All you have to do is look at history. Know one has uplifted Black and White American hopes and dreams as Obama has done.

We’re hiring the next President of the United States of America (POTUS). He or she will work FOR us, not us for them. We appear to have three applicants who have expressed an interest in the job; Clinton, Obama and McCain.
When the time comes for us to decide, we need to know what we expect of this employee in terms of performance. What will be his or her job? I submit, the President’s primary job is to provide LEADERSHIP, but he/she can only lead those who are willing to accept their LEADERSHIP. There are a lot of “Type A” pesonalities in the Congress. Leadership requires trust, the ability to articulate a vision, and the ability to influence others to pursue and achieve it. POTUS doesn’t develop Federal programs or entitlements – that’s the job of Congress. POTUS doesn’t appropriate or spend the money needed to pay for those programs (POTUS only gets an allowance to run the military as its Commander-in-Chief). POTUS doesn’t declare war, or even end a war, that’s also the job of Congress (yeah, that means that Congress can even direct POTUS to prosecute a war that he/she is against). POTUS doesn’t write laws, that’s also the job of Congress. POTUS doesn’t interpret existing laws, that’s the job of the Supreme Court. POTUS nominates persons to high-level Government positions who are not otherwise elected by the people, but the Senate ultimately confirms them.
The candidate that we select will be our primary ambassador to the world for the next 4 years, and the leader of the most powerful military ever to stand lonely watch over the planet.
Clinton has already made many promises that she won’t have the authority as the President to keep – she’s going to need to convince the Congress to go along with her. I haven’t heard the same kind of promises from Obama – He’s in fact been criticized for not making such promises by the Clinton camp. I’ve only heard him express his vision, and what he wants to achieve. The same goes for McCain.
With that in mind, who amongst the current crop of candidates would provide the best LEADERSHIP for our country? Who will be best able to gain wide-spread support for their vision, not just from Congress, but from the American people as well?
I haven’t decided who to vote FOR, but I have decided who lacks any ability to LEAD, and that’s CLINTON!

Richardson couldn’t carry his own state so there has to be a little resentment there against the woman who could. He did betray his own state by giving his support to a candidate different than the one they chose. While admittedly, she only won by a small margin, even if it was only by one vote, does that make it any less democratic and fair? He should have supported the people of his state’s choice even if he personally preferred Obama. To do anything elsee was a betrayal to the will of the people.

We don’t want Obama because he is a flip flop politician!
We don’t like Obama’s stupid looking wife who is never proud of her own country.
We don’t want Obama’s pastor because he is a true racist. Wright had made several hateful remarks toward Americans for years.
We don’t see how Obama can ever win the primary!
DO-NOT-VOTE-FOR-OBAMA. A VOTE FOR HIM IS A VOTE FOR RACISM!

Belonging to a black separatist church for 20 years does not make him appealing to this white male.

Obama doesn’t need to win every single person over to become the next US president.
He only needs a majority and that’s what he’s getting.

The 3am ad is back only this time it’s about the economy. It is aimed at McC while backhanding BO. With all of the 3am calls she’ll be answering won’t she be sleep deprived? Her strategy is failing and she refuses to change or re-invent herself. She suffers from the old ways of Washington, do what you have always done regardless of the outcome.

The demographics that he is winning with in the primary won’t be enough to allow him win the GE.

Richardson is a freaking sellout and now what’s to make Hillary look bad. It’s a private conver, I’m sure Obama says stuff like that in private. Actually he does say stuff like that but the media is on his nutz, so it’s no big deal. Give Hillary a fair shake will you ABC.
Posted by: RichAsellout | April 4, 2008, 12:11 pm 12:11 pm
Governor Richardson himself implied that while answering questions on the Judas comments “thats the problem with Cliniton campaign. They have this sense of entitlement to the presidency”. What else do you need. Now hear Hillary herslf “we will go all the way to the convention” at all cost. So he does not mean that Barak cannot win the nomination. She wants to destroy the Democratic party and destroy any hope of winning the white house.
Posted by: Godson | April 4, 2008, 12:12 pm 12:12 pm
If Hilarious wins the Democratic nomination, I can already hear McCain’s political ad: “It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone in the White House and it’s ringing. Something’s happening in the world.
Your vote will decide who answers that call, whether it’s someone who already knows the world’s leaders, knows the military — someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world. Who do you want answering the phone?
Then the long and embarrassing list of the Clinton’s foreign policy screw-ups begin to scroll up the screen… the 1st bombing of the WTC in 1993 – no one answered the phone in the Clinton White House; the bombing of the al-Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996 – no one answered the phone in the Clinton White House; the bombings of two US Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998 – no one answered the phone in the Clinton White House; the bombing of USS Cole in Yemen in 2000 – no answered the phone in the Clinton White House. The families of the more than 3,000 innocent U.S. citizens – not military combatants – lost in the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 are no longer with their families because the Clintons didn’t know how to lead in a dangerous world. The Clintons were too busy struggling with “personal crises.” So, who do you want answering the phone?
While to some Hilarious might be able to beat McCain, the GOP hasn’t even begun to attack her record. By November, she’ll be the laughing stock of the Democratic Party.
Posted by: Namako OH3 | April 4, 2008, 12:13 pm 12:13 pm
Godson – I’m as anti-Clinton as anyone on this blog, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say she “wants to destroy the Democratic Party.” I just don’t think she really cares what happens to the Democratic Party, so long as she gets into the White House. It isn’t about you or I, it isn’t about the United States of America, it isn’t about what’s going on in the world, it’s about her, and ONLY her. NOTHING else matters.
Posted by: Namako OH3 | April 4, 2008, 12:18 pm 12:18 pm
RichAsellout ====== Richardson owes his loyalty to the country first before any individual.
The country is greater than any single person and their selfishness.
Has america run out of other people with the ability to be president apart from the clintons?
What about the rest of us?
Posted by: Geldo | April 4, 2008, 12:20 pm 12:20 pm
The attack ads that will be leveled against him, if he wins the nomination, will probably put an end to his career in politics.
Posted by: Mack | April 4, 2008, 12:20 pm 12:20 pm
Namako OH3,
If you consider Hillary supporters are uneducated or grossly under-educated like you said, you need to think twice!I am fully educated with a good income and a good living!It doesn’t mean I need to hide my feeling toward your candidate! I said the truth and will never back up.
You are one of the Obama’s haters out there who try so hard to trash Hillary since day one. No wonder the truth hurts if someone says Obama can not win!
The media is so biased that blind you from the reality. Tell me 90% of Blacks who vote for Obama, how many of them get educated or enough education to vote on issue? Do the real survey to see the real picture. You are just stupid as you sound!
Posted by: Tess, Texas | April 4, 2008, 12:37 pm 12:37 pm
Smash I understand what you mean, but it was shocking to find out that Obama doesn’t seem to be living a united life. The kind his speeches state. I think the majority of Americans want to get alone and do. Maybe it’s because I’ve lived in so many diverse cities. Sure I get called a cracker and honkey sometimes since I just moved down to D.C., but I shake it off as just stupidity on the part of the person saying it.
I don’t support Obama anymore because I just don’t think he is who his speeches make him out to be. I think someone like Colin Powell was. I would love to see a minority in the White House, but I also want experience. I don’t think the Press has been fair and they’ve created a myth of a candidate. I want to know Obama warts and all. Not the Chris Matthews and Tim Russert fawning all over him type of journalism.
I also don’t think I can get past his support of what to me is a racist, anti-american church that he and his little girls have attended for so many years. I don’t think voting for Obama just because of race is a good enough reason. Nobody really has come up with any great ideas of legislation Obama created. I think he just really thinks he can talk his way into the White House on hope and change…things we all want. But it’s feels so false now.

Sen. Clinton campaign staff is (AGAIN!!!) cleaning up another Clinton mis-step. Why can’t Sen. Clinton answer the question directly… did she or she didn’t say it… It’s a simple yes or no… Oh! she said “NO”… So who’s lying… Sen. Clinton after saying “That’s a no”… Bill Clinton saying “we met five (5) times”… or Bill Richardson… Let’s see… The Clinton have a repetation for lying… The Liar’s Have it…

Hillary will use all means to divert the attention of American voters from the reallity…She is the one who can not win…..Obama leads in delegates ,popular votes and states….What else does she want?…The people have seen the light of the new chapter of 2009 in White house…Not the same foxs this time.. come Hillary if truely you want to win show Americans your Tax returns now….Stop attacking Obama and concentrate with the real issues affecting Americans….Obama is turning the page now with hopes,change and yes we can stand…Go On Obama…yes we can with your leadership….We love you…Show them that the chapter is turning now….Yes you can win Obama Go on …….YES YOU CAN….WIN 2008…WE LOVE YOU….

Of course she said Obama can’t win. That is her entire strategy for getting the nomination. I’m sure she says it all the time to superdelegates. So? I think she is wrong, but she has a right to her opinion.

He’s playing on people’s emotions, and desperation for change after the disaster of the last 8 years. Unfortunatley, he is an extremely flawed candidate that has no chance in the GE. The “values voters” that rejected Kerry will never vote for someone that has belonged to a black separatist church for 20 years. That’s just reality.
Posted by: Mack | April 4, 2008, 1:11 pm 1:11 pm
Mack – You didn’t go back far enough – It’s actually the “disaster of the last 16 years.” Bill Clinton got us into a wa with Iraq (and the attack on 9/11) because he couldn’t keep his zipper zipped, hence the bombing of Iraq during Operation Desert Fox in 1998. He then said it was supposedly in the search for weapons of mass destruction, but in reality, it was only to distract us from his impeachment hearings.
Posted by: Namako OH3 | April 4, 2008, 1:21 pm 1:21 pm
Namako OH3 —– You said it all.
Obama has built an unstoppable movement that will crush anything standing on its way.
The superdelegates can feel it. They are hopping aboard day by day. The undeclared ones are signalling where they are headed.

First of all… politicians and truth do not go together. Second of all he cannot win. He might win the primary but he will not win the general election (at least not honestly). I know he does not get my vote not that of any of my family members or most of my friends.

Heather ====== 35% of Hillary supporters say they will vote for Mccain if Obama wins.
Obama’s policies are just the same as clinton’s. Mccain’s differ from both of them entirely.
It is clear that Hillary’s supporters hate Obama for other reasons and not for his policies or the content of his character.
Who are the racists then?
Posted by: Geldo | April 4, 2008, 1:56 pm 1:56 pm
Ruttster, I voted for Bill twice and felt Hillary and Bill were hounded relentlessly and unnecessarily by Republicans. But then Bill betrayed us supporters by putting some facts (Monica, lying, etc..) behind the witch hunt. Still, I was indifferent towards Hillary and supported Edwards until he dropped out. However, the way Bill and Hillary have behaved during this campaign by carrying out their “scorched earth” strategy and by stretching the truth has shown to me their true colors. It is all about power with them. Now, the more they speak the more I find myself disliking them and the more I do not want to see them back in the White House. So, I don’t believe I am not being hypocritical. I believe my eyes have been opened (some of my friends say finally) to who these people are. As a person who has detested Republican tactics I now find that the Clintons are no better than Republicans. The country deserves better.
Posted by: indy_voter | April 4, 2008, 1:59 pm 1:59 pm
I guarantee you, Gov. Richardson would pass the lie detector test and Hillary would fail. I have no doubt she said it and am not surprised she would lie about saying it. When asked, she should have taken a cue from her politically “savvy” daughter and said, “That’s none of your business.”
The Clintons need to just retire and shut up. They’ve hosed us enough.

At this point I’m not voting for anyone. But,in all fairness I do want everyone to take in to account Ole Mr Obama who sat in the pews of his church and heard nothing negative ever come from the lips of is illustrious pastors…… When he realized how STUPID that sounded he launched this master speech that would set the record straight.. Even had the audacity (love this word) to tell US that WE had racial issues, considering he sat in a racially insensitive church for two decades. I like that touch! It gets even better.
Took questionable donations from none other than Tony Rezko……But was the only living soul in Chicago that didn’t know the dynamics associated to with this man. Brought property from HIM and lived right next door…… I love it!
Received money from unregistered lobbyist, their families, as well as other business associates….. But, because they were unregistered it was OK……. Call that a little double standard wouldn’t you say?
This next one is one of my personal favorites………..
Your father was airlifted into America by way of the Kennedy’s in 1959. That is how your parents were able to meet through the kindness of the Kennedy’s…….Unfortunately your father came to American in 1960 the air lift had already occurred……So that says…….. It never happened!
Posted by: mgck59 | April 4, 2008, 3:38 pm 3:38 pm
Obama is not without his own list
of lies and embellishments. I was a professor. JFK’s faher helped my dad come to America. I did not ever hear my friend, and mentor, Mr Wright talk with such hate.
None of my people ever spoke with Canadian officials about NAFTA. I don’t except money from special interest, lobbyist,—maybe not directly. I was conceived because of Selma. These are just a few. The media does not make a big deal about them because it just might show a side of Obama that do not want the voters to know. Just like the endorsement of Jane Fonds. Why wasn’t
that mentioned. They made a big deal about everyone else.
Posted by: Terry | April 4, 2008, 3:49 pm 3:49 pm
What is the problem with Hillary saying the truth in a private conversation? Is this the CHANGE Obama is bringing to us? No more freedom of speech, you must state Obamanation policy or no speech at all. It’s called politics children. Hillary is allowed to voice her personal opinion in private. Back stabber Richardson should learn to keep his mouth shut, except he’s waiting for the down and dirty Chicago politics big bucks, so he’ll keep throwing Hillary and Bill under the bus. JUDAS!!!

What is so disheartening they are shoving this excuse of a man so far down our throats. He has bought the ability to pump up his rating. I don’t think everybody loves Obama like that. If he wins God what a mess that will be. He has caused such a racial divide. As a black woman he has divided us within the black race. I loathe this man. But,if he has this much money to literally trash Hillary. Just think what this excuse of a man can buy against McCain.

Yeah Obama offends me, he is a disgrace. He is just as low life as the rest. Differences if he has so many people fooled, and when it’s all over that’s exactly what they will feel like A DOGGONE FOOL. For some odd reason big money is backing this low life, haven’t quite figured out the agenda. Because you and I know pastor Wright, and Farrakhan are going to be right up in the white house talking straight trash. But, like I said he has so much money he’ll be just like Bush baby! Bush fixed the vote and look what he did….Obama will buy the presidency and God Bless us all!

Bucky hate to admit it but, I have to agree. I am so disgusted with this idiot, the party all of it I’m done. He is the sorriest excuse of a candidate I’ve ever seen in my life. They ask this idiot about his voting record in the Senate because he’s rated one of the poorest. Most of the bills he did vote NAY on were those geared for the working middle class This clown says quote ” because I didn’t understand what it was”. Okay Harvard graduate…. So,we can look forward to four years of hearing what he didn’t understand. Pitiful! He’s what the people want….

So, America, send McCain and the republicans home with this 100 year occupation crap. Let Iraq have its civil war, then we and the rest of the world with recognize and work with the winning government!

It will be a sorry day, hopefully only for the Democrats, if Obama is their nominee.
The rest of us who are not Obama-stricken need to rally behind MCCain and help him win the White House, regardless of what party we belong to.
The 28% Hillary supporters who will vote MCCAIN must do more than that .. You must volunteer and help MCCain win
The rest of Hillary supporters … we need you to rally behind MCCain and help him win the White House.
Why?
Because the Presidency of the United States is far more important than any one party … In brief, we need a President who has been 100% proud of America his whole life. We need a President who will DEFEND and UPHOLD the country at all times. We need a President who will wear the symbol of America PROUDLY on his sleeves at all times. We need a President who will sing America’s praises and carry her glory at all times.
If Hillary is not the nominee, please vote AMERICA …
Vote MCCAIN FOR President.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, OUR HOME SWEET HOME

GodBlessAMerica, I totally agree. The Obama supporters have totally disenfranchised the rest of the democratic party, with their hatred and anger for anyone who even dares to challenge their cult mentality. They have threatened to vote Republican if they don’t get their way.
Well it works both ways, and like you said, we need to vote for a President, so count me in, I’ll vote for McCain.

Voting for MCCAIN is a no brainer for us, if Obama is the Democratic nominee.
We become Republican in our vote at that point and nothing can change our minds …
In fact, why not just send us our ballot the next day … We want to vote for MCCAIN the next day … and let us get this over with … Save us from hearing anything more about Obama and his speeches …
The more CNN and MSNBC’s political pundits try to sell Obama, the less we like him … It becomes absolutely nauseating ..
I am so glad Hillary did not respond to CNN to appear on their Larry King show … Good thinking, Hillary …
You dont need to go there, Hillary …
Stay away from CNN …
CNN has lost the respect of us who were CNN viewers before this election fiasco
In fact, it is amazing how CNN and MSNBC has turned us, once Rush Limbaugh’s critics, into listening to Rush instead. At least, Rush tells us he is biased when he is … He does not pretend to tell us as if it is news and the truth …
At least, Rush hits on both Clinton and Obama … At least, he does not just hit Clinton and only clinton.
I even thank God for Glenn Beck … again, at least he hit on Clinton and Obama …
I am tired of CNN and MSNBC treating Obama as if he is our God-sent angel and Messiah ..
CNN and their political pundits are just the worst group of newscasters there is … I dont care to hear what CNN’s political pundits have to say …
I rather listen to the sometimes provocating Rush. I rather turn into to Fox News channel … At least they are fair.
How CNN has transformed us ..

But now, CNN and MSNBC, has transformed me into a Rush listener.
I am sick and tired of hearing CNN’s political pundits and their “know it all” attitude. Never being so tired of a bunch of people .. So tired even of seeing the faces …
(I once watched CNN daily … )
Now I thank God for Rush and Fox News ..
My God, can you imagine what it would be like if all we have is CNN and MSNBC worshipping OBAMA the God-send Messiah that is going to CHANGE us … to what I even wonder ..
I have now learned to appreciate the provocative Rush … (thanks to CNN and their pundits ..)
