Dean: Dem Race Comes Down to Electability

Ha, finally Dean is talking something that makes sense. It’s all about electability. Democrats can’t make another mistake as they did with McGovern, Dukakis or Kerry. Obama is not electable!

How about investigating that Obama is givng MONEY to the DNC to campaign with.
He is trying to BUY superdelegates and Dean needs to step up and denounce this!
Obama is NOT electable…..the left DEMS can either wise up or lose everything. If they persist in their obstinate pursuit of Barry O, then they must realize that they will lose their own seats next time around.
The people will be heard and Hillary Clinton can WIN and if the superdelegates tank this election, the DEM Party is OVER……….

Finally, I agree with Dean.. SD should look at who is more electable…. Obama is not electable and will be able to withstand the heat… Clinton is a fighter and will fight for us as a President….
Vote Clinton 08

The race is wide open since the
delegates themselves are not bound…

Ha, finally Dean is talking something that makes sense. It’s all about electability. Democrats can’t make another mistake as they did with McGovern, Dukakis or Kerry. Obama is not electable!

The bottom line is that Obama can only win the smaller states. Hillary should be the clear choice since she has won every major state. The major states are what is needed to beat McCain. In all honesty I would like to vote for Al Gore which is what I did when he actually ran. However since he is not running the best person for the American people (black, white or hispanic) is Hillary Clinton

Obama was electable until Hillary started acting like a Republican.
Note that Hillary was NEVER electable. Look at her negatives. McCain can’t get the neo-cons to the polls, but Clinton sure will raise their ire enough to get there. Plus, you’ll lose the African American bloc, the youth-vote and alot of activists which HRC has sh*t all over recently.
Obama is still electable, but the longer HRC commits hari-kari on the Democratic party, the less electable he is.
Consider this – as Rev. Wright appears in the media again, we could stand united and counter with Rev. Hagee’s comments about Katrina. Did you know he just said them again?
No? Oh, why is that? Oh yeaaaaah, because HRC is stealing the lime-light yapping about debates in Oregon and some mystical math that gives her the popular vote lead – where hypothetical votes count in FL and MI but conveniently don’t count caucus votes.
Seriously, HRC people. SHE HAS LOST. Say it with me,now: SHE HAS LOST. The only thing she’s doing now is hanging around like a cat on a curtain, hissing at everything that walks by because she’s so annoyed she got herself in this predicament and can’t get out.
fin

Can’t wait until Denver! I hope they have a better police force than Chicago did when that riot began.
I say everyone should stay in until then. Why would anyone quit over so few votes. Even Obama would fight to the last if he were only slightly trailing.

Where have you been shalab>>>>>>Tax returns are out all but the Clintons they got an extension>>>She don’t want people to see her little blind trust in the tune of 41 mil she got from all the big companies…oil insurance wally world medical foreign all the good crap she says she will do away with HA

shalabalaboo –
She’s a fighter because she says she’s a fighter.
Just like she has 35 years of experience because she says she does.
I don’t trust people who repeat people who repeat and don’t have any substance to back it up.
She spent like 15 years as a corporate attorney fighting against common folk’s interest and fighting FOR the corporation.
she spent like 10 years on Walmart’s union-busting board.
OBAMA on the other hand… has been a community organizer fighting for everyday people in chicago. he could have been on the same union-busting boards and fought for the same corporations that hillary did. but he didn’t.
Also… a fighter? Obama rose out of nowhere to topple an Ex-President’s Wife. He created the most expansive, efficient, powerful grassroots organization this party, na, this country has EVER seen. THAT IS A FIGHTER.
Hillary is more like a petty bar room brawler who gets drunk says something stupid throws some low blows and loses everything.
STOP REPEATING HER PROPOGANDA. Y’all sound like Bush drones in 2000 and 2004. Just because someone says a phrase like “fighter” and “35 years of experience” doesn’t make it true.

Nobody can critisize Hillary on her tax returns or what she makes. You don’t see Obama or McCain Committed enough to put in their own money. Hillary feels so strongly that she is the best candidate. You have to feel her passion and know that she will do everything she can for the American people no matter what nationality. So Obama and his fans need to stop playing the race card and really start looking at the important issues

Obama is all talk about hope but says nothing about how or what he would deliver. Without his speech-writers, he just stutters and sweats.
Who needs such an inept president?

The Republicans are already starting to make mincemeat out of Obama in NC. There is little chance of him beating McCain in the fall. Hillary actually has less ammunition for the Republicans to use.

Leaving out MI. and FL. is never going to seem fair to most honest democrats no matter how bad they want thier choice to win this is a plan that Howard Dean and Obama made up before this race started I call it stacking the cards against Hillary from the get go and calling Bill a racist is beyond contemp any respect I had for the Democrtic party is gone I hope they all get voted out.

The electability issue is huge. Howard Dean is facing the reality that they need a strong and fiery opponent against McCain. I think they are slowly coming to the concensus that the person is Clinton. Becoming president is not a beauty contest ie.. popular vote. Obama declines to DEBATE, that is a big no no. It shows them that Obama is weak. They are thinking about November when it comes time to debate McCain. He won’t even agree to a face off with Hillary Clinton in Indiana. He will not commit because he knows Hillary will kick his a$$ again.
Dean said the superdelegates have every right to elevate a candidate who is trailing in popular vote. He is gently breaking the news to the Obama campaign.

kokopelli
Dean also said that it was highly unlikely

The supers are under no obligation to vote according to pledged delegates or popular votes, the original intent of establishing the supers was to prevent red-GOP states and caucus activists from hijacking the party leadership…end then turn around to sabortage us in Nov. Obama is not electable, period. You cannot win without a coalition of all 4 parts that make up the party. Obama is only winning majority of the black votes and let truth be told. I know that some shallow minds are going to scream racism. Obama and his activist supporters has made it imporssible for honest debate and truth about race to be part of this normination process. The supers should vote for party interest and not be imtimidated by the Obama militant machine. Let the supers vote for Mrs. Clinton and ask Obama to join the ticket. 4 years of apprentice as a VP should give him some experience and record to run on. Jumping from state senate to presidency, is absurd and insane.

To Karma:
I could support either Obama or Hillary in a GE.
To suggest that Obama and Howard Dean stacked the election is delusional.
However, it is not delusional to suggest that Republicans and (Republican) Independent voters who vote for Obama are only doing so for strategic reasons. C’mon. Obama’s (admittedly somewhat limited) voting record is among the most liberal in the Senate. He is not an independent, his voting record shows he is a hard-core liberal Democrat. Since when have any Republicans or Independents found that political line attractive? If that were true, Ted Kennedy has missed his chance – he should be running for the Presidency.
The only reason a Republican or Independent would vote for a hard-core liberal Democrat like Obama is…to defeat Hillary.
You can be sure their support will disappear in the General Election. So, please don’t bring up Obama’s appeal to Republicans or Indpendents as an argument in his favor for the GE.

Harold Ickes is absolutely ruthless. He’s in charge of the superdelegates and will intimidate them right to the threshold of career destruction, vendetta, and personal threat.
He has always been the Clinton hatchet man. Halfway between Hillary Clinton and Harold Ickes has always lied plausable deniability.
Watch closely at the superdelegates that are able to resist Ickes’ pressure tactics. They will be the ones that have never sold their souls to the Clintons, and belong as part of the post-Clinton era.

Remember Harold Ford jr. In TN-2006 senate primary every independent, Dem and Gop voted for him but in general election in Nov-2006, all those folks that gave him the nomination, disappeared. Herold lost the senate race even with a better record and intelligence than Obama. Going from state senate to the highest office in the land is long shot and a very big stretch. It is dellusional for Obama to expect to win any red state in 2008 as a black man.

JWF
I was commenting on Bishops post saying that the election was stacked. And I didn’t say anything about the revote issues. I think your post should be directed to Bishop not me

Junior2, A lot or people are seeing the Clintons in such a negative way now. They both are showing their true colors with the tactics they are using. There is no way she will become the nominee. And I know Obama can beat McCain.

BKMC, I listen to parts of Rush and Hannity almost daily. They are scared of going up against Obama. A lot of republicans don’t like McCain. They’ll vote for Obama but not for Hillary

“Ha, finally Dean is talking something that makes sense. It’s all about electability. Democrats can’t make another mistake as they did with McGovern, Dukakis or Kerry. Obama is not electable!”
Well said.

NO WAY is OBAMA electable. The young who support him, have continued to deny what makes him UNFIT to be POTUS.

Bloggers,
So who is more electable, the out-of-touch empty suit, the master of BitterGate, or the tough, resilient, still-standing, backer of working class Democrats? That would be the latter, one Hillary Clinton!
========================================
Hillary/Angelou ’08
========================================

she isnt tough- she cries about everything that doesnt go her way and she doesnt look out for anyone but herself!
thats why she is going after her own party more than she is going after mccain.

We, Republicans too think that Clinton is the only one electable.
Please do send us her instead of Obama.

GEEVIL
I AGREE. I AM ONE AND HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY DOING THE SAME. IT IS FUNNY HOW OBAMA IS WRITING THAT OFF.
HE THINKS PEOPLE ARE BLUFFING
THE DEMO PARTY WILL LEARN A LESSON SHOULD HE BE THE NOMINEE

BTW Junior2:
you will no doubt be surprised to learn, in view of my doubts and criticism of Obama, that I actually PREFER Obama to Clinton.
What upsets me is how he has been so disdainful of MI & FL voters in order to further his immediate political goals.
No doubt Hillary would do the same if the tables were turned. But HE is the one who is actually doing it. I expected more from him. I guess I must have drunk some of that “kool-aid” geevil keeps referring to.
As to the sincerity of Republican support for Obama – I hope you are right and I am wrong, and that they will continue to support him in the General Election.

QUESTIONER
I just read your post. Great insight. That is ineteresting. There is a spot on Hillary’s web where you can give her campaign feedback.

It is begining to sound like a chant to calm yourself down. Obama is not electable. Obama is not electable, Obmama is not electable. Boy I feel better!
All these facts based on opinion Egads!
Obama08

Hey Lisa. How can you support a man who sits in a church and listens to a man who condemns our country, the white race, exposes his children to these ravings, and dances in the aisles? I once thought Obama was an asset to this country’s political force. But now, I see him as a puppet on a string led by others with a self=serving agenda. GO HILLARY…………..

Electability – that matters.
But maybe it matters even more to elect The Decent Person.
No One can EVER say, that Clintons are Decent – neither one of them
So – what is it all about?
To elect Dirty Clintons and announce American Disgrace Choice?

Clinton has turned off far too many voters to win. McCain would run circles around her in a general election. Deep down, you all know this.
==================================
Clinton is not electable!
==================================

Linda, dirty Clintons?????? When Bill had office, we all had jobs, food on the table, and gas in our cars to get us to our jobs. Now, let’s talk about dirty Obama. The Rev. Wright, Farakahn, the NBPP, Rattso, Ayers, and last but not least, ‘bitter small town America’…….

Race does not matter to me. I’m a black republican and I’ll be voting for John McCain. The democratic party is pathetic, and deserves to lose.

Obama is NOT electable
-Liberaljean
———————————-
MF, WHO GAVE YOU RIGHT TO SAY THAT!
HE WON 30+ STATES VOTERS VOTES, HE DOES NOT NEED YOUR VOTE! F$%% Off!! BI#ee!!
OBAMA08!! YES WE CAN!!

If you are a Hillary Fan and you want to vote for McCain go ahead. You reap what you sow. Here is a taste:
The NLRB will continue to be dominated by extremist republican apparatchiks. Enjoy.
The Courts will continue to be packed by Republican Activists. Including the Supreme Court! Enjoy!!!
Healthcare unaffordability continues to rise. Enjoy.
Bush League Economics will continue INDEFINITELY. Enjoy.
War, More War, and Continued War. Enjoy.
Signing Statements and Executive Orders. Enjoy.
Have a Happy Happy Joy Joy.

Electability is what winning an election is all about. This is why we have super delegates.
Elections are about winning.
Hillary wins the states we need! Hillary doesn’t have the baggage that Obama has: Wright, Rezko, Auchi, Ayers.

Why is Hillary losing her supporter???
Why can’t she close the deal???
Could it be 60% of democrats distrucst her and do not like her.

carla sue, Hillary and Bill have their own agenda. They don’t care about us. They are all about the Clinton legacy. You think that I don’t want to vote for the best president. I will vote for Hillary if I have to. But she doesn’t care about us, she only pretends. WAKE UP

Carla sue,
I have one word for you.
Penn
Do you know who he is? He is the top clinton Adviosr who was in a deal for NAFTA (who Hillary supported for 13 years until the day she decided to run for president) until he was exposed by media – he was dealing not talking – dealing and every body knows that

Carla sue,
You asked a question – Now I have a question.
Why is Hillary losing SD like leaves in the fall? And Why can’t she close the deal?
She had More money to start, she was a brand name known in every house, she has an american white name, she is whaite. She had 250 SD to start with.
So why she kept losing and losing and losing to a rockei.
Why is she behind????

Tina, why can’t Obama close the deal since he is ‘so far ahead?’ This will go to the convention in August. That is my answer. Thank you.

Hillary did not keep loosing. Where did you get that report?
Why the late deciders always vote for her?
They are more mature and think twice before they made the decisions.

He has more delegate, more won states, more popular vote, what else do you want.
Answer my question? How did Hillary Lose? She is behind in delegate, states, popular vote – so far that she cannot make up for it? and I am asking
why???
Don’t answer my question with another only people who do not have an answer and a reason for their beleives answer questions with another question. That in itself is a defeat for you.

From 11 states she lost in a row after wining New Hampshire. It was all over the news you did not see it.

Lisa, you are correct. Hillary was way ahead in the beginning. But let’s look at what happened after that. The media darling got praise and stroked, and Hillary got lamblasted. Oprah got on the bandwagon when she didn’t even know what the hell she was talking about. She just endorsed Obama because he is black. Where is Oprah now? There are too many negative revelations about Obama that have turned off a lot of people. Tina, my answer was, this will go to the convention. That was not a question.

She came back.
That’s happened when people start to think twice before they vote for their candidate.
PS. If you want to win fair game, Hillary does not steal the election.
What reason you said that.
Again, do not use a riot threaten on the street to DNC.
It represents who is your candidate.

crisis08!!,
Hillary cannot win it in 2008!!
It is over, do not try to threat Super delegates to vote for Hillary after she lost most states, most delegates after the primary! Play it fair and see who win! Tell me what other way then intimidating Supers you wish to win nomination!!
It is over, it will be even clear when Barak carries NC with a big win!!
NO JUSTICE!! NO PEACE!!
YES WE CAN!! IF YOU TRY TO STEAL THE MANDATE OF THE VOTERS OF MOST STATE YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE, IT IS THAT SIMPLE!!
YES WE CAN!! OBAMA08!!

Carla Sue,
Thanks.

RC,
We will never threaten DNC to have a riot unlike Obama supporters.
As I know (still on this blog) Obama tried to offer funds to DNC.
We won’t do violent things just go independent if DNC abandon her.

What I do not like in this fight is this is a fight between two family members – and one had hit below the belt so many times that is not acceptable for me. Family member should have each other back. McCain has been more corteous to Obama than Hillary has.

Tina, I didn’t say forgive her. I just said that is what she said, right or wrong. I have also said each and every candidate carries their own set of personal baggage, (lat night’s posts) and we need to make our choices from there. Rev. Wright’s affiliation with Bill Clinton was at a prayer breakfast…..he was not Clinton’s spiritual advisor.
Hillary is not bringing back the Rev Wright’s statements……the media is. Look at what McCan’t is doing in NC> That is not Hillary’s campaign. That is part of the Republican strategy against the democratic party.

Tina, I don’t think honestly that Hillary will try to destroy Obama if she does not win.
The best thing Obama can do right now if he wants to secure a victory is separate himself from racist radicals like the NBPP and Farakhann. I remember when Obama first started ‘showing his presence.’ I said to my now late mother…..’he is the one to watch.’…….I liked him then, and I still like him, but less now. I want to see him stand on his own two feet without the words of others speeches, teleprompters, and spiritual advisors….if he should win the dem nom.

Carla sue,
I am from Buffalo NY – I voted for Hillary to be NY senator, she came to Buffalo when she was campaigning for her sent seat and Promised us JOBS – as soon as she became our senator she totally forgot about that.
She did not deliever in a single thing she promised in her campaign. I still would have supported her, but after seeing her campaign tactics agaist Obama I am losing my respect for her. She seems to have become the republican representative to destroy Obama and the media is helping her.
So this is from some body who was a supporter of her.
I want a democrat to win – but I do not have any hope any more – I am sure McCain is the next president

I’m confused by those who say Hillary is trying to steal an election. Because she is competing for the nomination does that make it stealing? Does Obama have enough delegates to put him over the 2025 number needed to clinch victory? The Party set up a proportional delegate system and many caucuses which favor Obama. But those are the rules. The rules also state that the game ain’t over till one candidate has 2025 delegates!

RC, I did see Obama’s race speech. Very admirable, but too little too late for me. Sorry. I thought it was a little rehearsed and prompted. What I want to see is Obama (if he gets the nom) stand on his own two feet, wright his own speeches, look the camera in the eye and wear the American flag pin on his lapel. I never said Obama was unintelligent…and I won’t. But he needs to shake the crap around him and focus on what makes people’s heads turn toward him..not away from him.

Carla sue
You have a good night too. You ended it on the very nice and positive note.
I hope our next 4 years is better that our past 7 years :)

IF IT COMES ON POPULAR VOTE AND
DELEGATES COUNT THEN OBAMA IS ELECTABLE AND THE BEST SO FAR. I AM SURE TAHT ANY DEMODCRAT CANDIDATE CAN WIN PA IN GENERAL ELECTION THAT’S CLAER. SO IF OBAMA WINS THE NOMINATION HE CAN EASILY WIN THOSE BIG STATES.
OBAMA ’08.

It is interesting how the republicans are trying to VERY HARD to keep Obama from winning the nomination. That should tell us something. Why aren’t they waiting until after the primaries? Because they don’t want to go up against Obama in November. WAKE UP DEMOCRATS: The republicans want to go against Hillary because she will be easier to beat, otherwise why would the republicans work so hard NOW at beating Obama.

Hillary is quite electable unlike Obama… he cannot win in the GE that is a fact… it isnt surprising that you young Obama people dont know your history and how things will go down….the Rev Wright thing isa mess

You wouldnt believe the UNBELIEVABLE BIAS the corrupt media and Obama PUNDITS have put out ever since super tuesday.
There was NO talk of ‘whomever is leading wins’ – no matter if that lead is miniscule compared to the entire delegates awarded.
The vote itself WITHOUT michigan and florida is 1% difference.
The media has TAPDANCED this HUGE propoganda campaign whereas Obama MUST WIN NO MATTER WHAT if he is ‘leading’ .
They got to the point where they were trying to get Clinton to DROP out of all things………..
Howard Dean -the head of the DNC – the PARTY CHAIR has COMPLETELY DISPELLED any notion that they MUST rubber stamp the guy with the 1% lead. Thats RIDIUCLOUS.
Obama and Clinton have long past the time where the VOTERS could decide the race. Its the SUPER DELEGATES who must decide.
This is a HUGE stance by Dean.
This will FORCE all the IDIOTS who insist Obama must win if he has a nickels worth more delegates to finally SHUT UP.
Tonight on CNN folks were debunking this idiot theory that you MUST give the nomination to Obama or african americans will POUT like children.
Lets face it. If Obama could have ever won a major swing state primary, Clinton wouldnt have much of an argument.
Obamas ‘lead’ in delegates inst very large and therefore isnt in its own right ENOUGH of an argument. He needed to prove he could win major primaries.
But he CANT . He is unelectable.

Ronald Walters, a professor of government and politics at the University of Maryland, said, “Many of these places(PA,Ohio) are hit hard. When they look around for who’s the cause of it, a lot of times they scapegoat African Americans or Hispanics or someone else.” An explanation why poor white working class may not vote for Obama.He made it they didn’t,but he is still a minority and is considered beneath them no matter what, and does not deserve to be put in the highest office in the land. So Obama supposed to give up the hope and dream of an AA becoming president of the United States because of small- minded people in this country. What kind of message would this be to future generations.
Obama 08!
Yes We Can!

It all depends on whether the Dem party wants a REP or DEM President in 2009.
I’m not voting for Obama should he be the nominee.
Oh, and don’t call me a racist.
I’m from TN and recently voted for Ford, Jr.
Who thinks Obama has been properly vetted?
Who thinks he whines and is weak?
Who is concerned by his associations with Rezko and Wright and others?
Who thinks he lacks experience?
Who thinks he has constantly played the race card and encouraged others like Rep. Clyburn to do the same to fire up blacks to get out their vote?
Who thinks he has discounted the positive things that Americans enjoyed during the Clinton years?
This guy is virtuall unknown and untested and has questionable character.
Obama won’t get my vote nor many others.

A vote for Obama guarantees a McCain landslide in November.

Congratulations Hillary,
Finally, Howard Dean has seen the light and saw fit to endorse you!
========================================
Hillary is the only electable one!
Obama is as electable as John Kerry!

Middle income and working class are the major players of US economy and political. They can vote Dem or GOP candidate or whoever they think will be the best for the country. Without winning their votes, Obama will finish in November. I think DNC and Dean know it by now. They did read our confident survey response and watching the primary results from all the big states. I am glad that.

Reagan Democrates will not vote for Obama.
It’s either Hillary or McCain.
This is a known fact backede by previous states won by Hillary and present polls.

FINALLY DEAN GOT IT RIGHT.
I SAID BEFORE AND I”LL SAY AGAIN:
E L E C T A B I L I T Y
IS THE KEY ISSYE.
OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE IN NOVEMBER.
HE CANNOT GET 270 ELECTORAL VOTES
TO BEAT McCAIN.
DON’T FORGET MONDALE,DUKAKIS,GORE,KERRY.

Electability issue: Even when for whatever reasons at this time the FL and MI delegates and NUMBER OF voters are not being counted; THE VOTES OF THESE VERY ANGRY VOTERS WILL BE COUNTED IN NOVEMBER AND THE DEMOCRATS NEED AT LEAST FL TO WIN. Have you checked how Obama is doing in FL versus McCain?

TRUE,VERY TRUE……
OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE IN NOVEMBER.
IN NOVEMBER THE BALLGAME IS DIFFERENT.
PRIMARIES DO NOT COUNT ANYMORE.
IT’S ALL ABOUT 270 ELECTORAL VOTES.
OBAMA CANNOT GET THOSE 270 ELECTORAL VOTES.DO THE MATH.STATE BY STATE.
OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE FOR SEVERAL REASONS

“How about investigating that Obama is givng MONEY to the DNC to campaign with.”
Thank you, someone else who thinks this is not quite right! Talk about trying to buy the election every way he can, and the beat goes on…I am so sick of this man’s arrogance in assuming he is the nominee.I know a lot of Obama supporters, and the DNC, thinks Clinton supporters will vote for Obama if nominated, but it isn’t a threat that many won’t, it is simply a fact. I don’t agree 100% with Republicans or Democrats on every issue, I consider myself a voter who believes in common sense and traditional values, and I am tired of those traits being ridiculed or taken advantage of by radicals on both sides of the political coin. I would never have voted for a Pat Robertson, and I will never vote for Barack Obama, he simply doesn’t represent what I expect out of a future President. I am also sick of being accused of being racist if I don’t vote for him, made fun of if I’m from a small town, and patronized from someone who thinks he is smarter than I because I don’t have a master’s degree or PhD. I have a feeling there are a lot of people who feel the same way. I guess in a nutshell, he doesn’t seem genuine anymore. Hillary Clinton knows issues inside and out, and say what you want about her, she is the one I feel can actually make change. Barack is just another Jimmy Carter waiting in the wings.

As a Hillary supporter, I would never vote for Obama.

Dean is right on point.Believe me nobody in the DCP believes Hilary is more electable. That is just an argument she has fed to the mediea keep them from having te o ask her why she “really” is still in the race. What solid piice of evidence is out there that seems to suggest SD are leaning toward Hillary, he has net gained her about 100 SD the last couple of months. Barack is right on point, don’t upset those white low class voters because he’s gonna need at least half of them to vote for him when he is the nominee. The media is obviously upset that he isnt giving them anything to run with. This thing is about votes and he knows it, in the end he’ll have the most at the end of June and in November.

The election is likely to turn on one key issue:
Food Prices.
Obama is committed to Ethanol. McCain has opposed subsidies from the beginning. Ethanol drives up food prices (corn which could feed animals or go into food directly goes to fuel, aided by subsidies direct and indirect).
Hillary probably has the flexibility to say “nevermind” on Ethanol.
Food prices (and gas prices, see McCain’s Gas Tax Holiday) are the big and immediate pocket book issues.
Middle/working class white voters won’t pull the lever for Obama because they get higher taxes, with the money going to minority fixers like Rev. Wright (I guess he needs a new mansion) or “Jerry Seinfeld” type rich white yuppie obsessions “Save the Polar Bears!”
Economic issues are likely to dominate. Dems through yuppie/minority politics threw that advantage away, Hillary has more marginal ability to pander to middle/working class people against McCain than Obama.
Therefore, she is more electable.

Does any right thinking man or woman believe that the so called super delegates can steal the nomination for Clinton? If it happens, the Dems will not smell the white house for at least 50 years. Anyone can come up with any bogus argument.

While Dr. Dean’s current comments concerning the independece of the superdelegates and their responsibility to choose a candidate who gives the Democrats the best chance to recapture the White House in November sound rational, please don’t be fooled. This is the guy that has given us the FL & MI debacle, thereby elevating Obama to front runner status that he did not earn or deserve. The truth is the rules allow for leniency in counting the votes and seating the delegates. Just look at Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, all 3 states moved up their primaries without any penalty. Howard’s statement is just a way to try to save face. I will have none of it. Count the votes and seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan without penalty, as is and now. That is the only way that he can save face with the American public. In any case I predict he will be back to practicing medicine instead of politics when this election is over. For the sake of the Democratic Party at least we can hope.

That is why I love Howard Dean, who, unlike Obama, is the real truth-teller and change-maker. He probably is partial to Obama, and has every right to feel embittered by his treatment in 04 by the party establishment, most likely by the Clintons themselves. Yet, he speaks the truth, even if it goes against his self-interest: the superdelegates, while not likely to ignore “the math,” have the power and the right to do it. Self-interest has determined every argument made in this primary, whether by liberal bloggers or Obama-swooning MSM reporters, or the candidates themselves. Howard Dean is preternaturally unable to do this. HE is the change we’ve been waiting for, not Obama.

Hey EastCoast:
Why not give all of the “uncommitted”
popular votes to Obama since the others
have dropped out of the race and have no more claim on those votes then Obama!

who are the people going to blame if Hillary is the nominee and she is defeated by McCain? will they then feel the same about her and all that she said she could do. why are the Clintons doing so much in trying to turn everyone against Barack and how many people that are against Barack have actually heard the whole sermon of Mr Wright, the media has only played what they wanted you to here because they new it would upset alot of people and cause them to turn away from Barack as well as the American pin that he is not wearing, not wearing that pin does not make one not patriotic, and I would think by now people would have opened their eyes and know that the statement that he does not salute the flag is false. Wearing the flag pin is not going to change America, won’t put food on your table, won’t cause the prices of gas and food to go down, and aren’t these the main issues, jobs, food, gas prices, and the war, what do they have to do with what a mans name is or if he wears a flag pin on his lapel?
We all know that there are many skeletons in the Clinton closet, some that have been brought to light and many I am sure that haven’t, but if she goes up against McCain, any and all will be flooding the airways.

Hello to the Clinton Network! Journalism at its best.

In 2004, when I went into the voting booth, I thought I was going to be sick that my only two choices were George W. Bush and John Kerry. I choked and voted for Kerry, but I hated myself for doing it. On the other hand, how do you vote for a turtle in a dunce cap??? The DNC needs to wake up. America is center or center right and the most liberal candidate you can find isn’t going to win.

This is to Howard Dean. Leave the candidates alone and let the popular vote decide. Why can’t they both run for President if they have the money to keep going? I thought this was a free country, but obviously I was mistaken. Mr. Dean thinks he is the nation, not the voters!

Obama got his lead before the Jeremiah Wright revelations. You don’t sit in a church for 20 years and not hear any of these remarks. Put down the crack pipes
Obama supporters. “GD America, we got what we deserved on 911″. You Obama supporters need to grow up.The Clintons have done more for the black community than Obama.And this whining about Hillary being hard on him. What is she supposed to do? Campaign for him? It ain’t over til the fat lady sings. I will never vote for a man who was a member of such a radical Church for 20 years. And what about the Obama associate who bombed govt. buildings and said he wouldn’t rule out doing it again in the future? I will never vote dem again if he is our nominee- and I have voted for all the losers the dem party gave us before. The ONLY DEM to win the WH in more than 30 years and THE ONLY DEM to be re-eleced in 40 + years – CLINTON!!!! You naive tards!!!

So-o-o Have all us voters just been wasting our time & sanity over the past decade or how ever long this Primary has been going on? Can’t the Dems just do it like the Republicans? Majority vote wins the state…majority states win the nomination. Why do we have to play this volleyball game? No caucuses, no delegates to divide up…no b.s. I understand 1972 & McCarthy, but the convolutions created after that fiasco are worse than the original fiasco! Well,I have to vote now, so it doesn’t count…
