Obama-Backing Senator Hopes Superdelegates Focus on Clinton Scandals from 1990s

***Back when EVERYONE was watching the S Carolina debate to find out if Sen. Obama was real change from the politics as usual…
Obama on his first big money supporter, Tony Rezco, “I only worked for five hours for him as a client as a junior lawyer.” (NO BIG DEAL) and then later, “He helped my buy my house and saved me $300,000 and gave 250k to my campaign” and then, “he never asked me for anything.”
naïve? or a lie?
Plus
His spiritual mentor for 20 years Pastor Wright said America is responsible for 9/11 and “god d@#$ America”, wouldn’t most Americans stand up and walk out….
Obama said, “I was never there in the pews”, and then later “I was there” …
***the Republicans are going to dismantle Sen. Obama …if he wins the Nomination.
Fact: He did receive $215,000 from the Oil Industry.
And he has two Oil Industry Executives on his fundraising staff…
this guy is slick and superficially people like him… but when you find out the truth… people don’t like him so much…

I am so sorry I backed this woman in her Senate run.

God
I am sad that the Clintons had to push us to here.
Over and over people said stay away from this…but if you think obama’s few things that have been inflamed are bad…wait until the American voters actually see all the details with the Clintons…
I said they should stay off this field but not a single Clinton supporter can get mad now that they have harped on character…
If there is a playing field that their candidate loses on bigger …it’s character.
Nobody has as many unanswered weiird coincidences, scandals and questions…not to mention fines, criminal associates and weird random deaths as
both Bill and more so Hill.
but everyone turned their back on it to try and say it’s a new day but the Clintons can’t help themselves…so okay here come the lists.

Greg, I am old enough to remember the Clinton scandals and cover-ups. She won’t be able to beat McCain. Republicans have always detested both her and Bill.

I do hope Senator Obama do bring up all the baggage of the Clintons, he has been too nice while the Clintons has played dirty politics. THIS HAS TO END SOON, COME ON SUPERDELEGATES, DO YOUR JOB AND ENDORSE OBAMA!!!

What about Obama Larry Sinclair?

Documents under subpoena were found on a desk in her White House office after an investigation closed. Does anyone remember the travel office scandel when people were fired to be replaced by Clinton cronies? (no wonder Bush thought he could clear out the AG’s office that way)
Anytime she is attacked it is a conspiracy by right wings, the media or Martians. Come on already.

I hope they do bring up everything, and then have to keep explaining why they think it’s relevant to re-hash old history that a 6 yr/$70m investigation put to bed — every accusation against HRC was unproven. Obama’s run a dirty, personal campaign – this would be right in line w/his style.

She is right actually.
The MSM is focusing on the possible Obama negatives but the MSM is NOT focusing on the AVALANCHE of Hillary negatives that the GOP WILL use against Hillary if she was to win the nomination.
Obama is too nice in this respect but the GOP DEFINITELY will NOT be.

What freaking world has she been living in? Over 70 million dollars of investigations by Ken Starr. These obama people are really stupid. But I think go ahead and turn all the women voters her way. YEAH!!!

An obama has nothing to fall back on. NOTHING, he doesnt have a senate record, his state senate records are LOST(oops). That is why he is not electable with a thin resume. All he have is his scandals.

The problem with talking about all of the well-known Clinton ethics and sex scandals, controversies, illegal activities, lies, impeachment etc, etc, is that there is simply not enough time in any given speech to bring them all up- not even if you limit yourself to the headlines only. Nobody wants to be reminded of what a disaster the Clinton years were. Please spare us the painful memories. i just want to move on. I want the 109 million dollar and counting Clintons to head off to Martha’s Vineyard to smoke their cigars and drink their French wine with the other rich people, and just leave us alone.

Now there is a hateful woman McCaskill her and Pelosi must be best friends and don’t make me laugh whitewater was a republican joke.Hillary stomped Obama in Pa.So everyone is running around just looking for a new spin story, Imo he should have at least been able to close the deal even by 1% but he didn’t he is going to be weak in the GE

no HRC prosecution in travelgate
no HRC prosection in fbi files
no HRC prosecution in cattle futures
no HRC prosecution for Whitewater
no HRC prosecution in Vince Foster
no HRC prosection for campaign finance fraud.
Thank you Starr/Ray for showing that HRC committed no crimes! Thank you Repubs for spending millions of dollars to prove HRC committed no crimes! Thank you Obama for showing how dirty you really are.

The Peter Paul vs Clinton campaign fraud trial will begin soon…major baggage for Clinton that will definitely be used by the GOP.
Watch “Hilliary the Movie on you tube. It tells the truth about Hilliary.
Also look up the Peter Paul video on you tube.
Can you wonder why, with all her clout and influence, that the Superdelegates have not rushed to support her…
I am proud of the Obama campaign for not using this against her…..

I really “Hope” people will care about Whitewater!
Obama 08 – politics of change

“Obama resorting to the politics of the neocons”
where have you been for the past three months…
You want to say “these are important questions ” when they take up the first half of a debate but then yuo don’t want hillary to answer the same questions?
when has she ever been quesitoned on Vince Foster…or Mr. Paul …or the issues of her watergate work?
when?
suddenly all the people who have insinuated stuff about Obama can be dragged through this primary but Hillary’s are old business?…uh no…many of her scandals have been since Bill’s Monica stuff.
Who has this many scandals…and why would anyone want a candidate that has THIS many LISTS of scandals and accusations to be their nominee.
Don’t try accusing Obama of playing some neocon card…after a whole election of her campaign calling conference call after call.
If you think the American people need to have answers about this type of issue with the candidates well okay…because I know none of you have asked any of this of Hillary…you just took the Clintons at their word.
how’d that work for ya in the 90′s? Remember right after taking them at their word… George Bush ran on a platform of “bringing values back to the White House.”

BoMan… Are you living under a rock. The tax returns were released weeks ago, gone through and nothing was found that they could use against Hillary. Do all of you not realize that we that support and love the Clintons will not change our minds because you try to bring up OLD NEWS again and again. I don’t care if Bill parades one woman after another into the WH. The best years were when he was in office and I can’t wait for the Clinton’s to be back! I say yes to her keep throwing the truth at Obama and making him squirm. We need to know all his baggage and no matter how many efforts are made to question him, he just refuses to answer. We have a right to know all about his 46 (or was it 48?) years. EVERYTHING. We know everything about the Clintons including what they had for dinner last night. It is time we know all about Obama. And I’ll start, he had waffles for breakfast yesterday! Shame on him!

Hillary’s main objective is her goal to be President – NO MATTER WHAT! The only thing her and Bill have in common nowadays is politics. That is their big love affair. Frankly, I don’t want to go thru another episode of Bill and Hillary in the White House. It was an absolute disgrace to our country. Knowing Bill he would probably try to run for President after her term was up. As a woman, standing by her man does not pass with me. It was the wrong decision, just like Iraq.

Maybe the Obama campaign should hire Doug he sure knows a lot about Bill scandals, but I say to Obama bring it on, I think that is the best idea I have heard from his side, just fling dirt at Hillary, then take your chances with the voters.

McCaskell:
“But, frankly, they keep throwing nails in front of the bus,” she continued. ”
Hey Lady, in case you haven’t noticed, that bus just ran out of gas!!!!!

GREAT — DEMOCRATS IMPLODE. GRABS EXTRA LARGE BAG OF POPCORN!

Now the Obama people are appearing desperate and grasping at straws. Everything that this hag, McCaskill, wants us to keep in mind is all of the things that the Clintons’ have been tried and acquited of. Now let’s look at what the Clinton’s have accomplished for our nation and that is what I will keep in mind when I place my vote. How many wars were we in when Bill Clinton left the White House? How was our economy and budget when Bill Clinton left the White House? These are the things that we should keep in mind when we go into the voting booth and not dwell on the things that seems to interest Claire McCaskill. She’s trying to use Karl Rove tactics. She is so jealous of Hillary and it shows.

sandman
I think the American people want to see why the governor’s wife and the first lady never prosecuted… when you all see the details of some of that it alone will raise questions…
and the fines and returned moneys…
How many people do you know that have been investigated this much and only been prosecuted a handful of times… oh yeah… it’s all a right wing conspiracy …(that started after the Gov of Arkansas and his wife…r u kidding)…
or the 400k her brother had to return that he got after Bill pardoned two people he was trying to get pardoned oh that’s right…she didn’t know anything about it and the President has the right.
I mean the weird coincidences that follow this couple are amazing…someone should have had them on “That’s Incredible”
If you can’t look at Maggie Williams going in and cleaning up Vince Foster’s office the day after his suicide… before the investigation a job that was not hers to do…with the situation that he was in…without a suspiscious eye than you are better than most Americans…but it’s all these things…
Each one you all can try to just to waaaf away but it’s their cumulative total that makes them hard to swallow.
These people have lied and gotten caught …in courts of law and on television about important thing…not just some salacious and degrading affair in the highest office of the land… but issues. and they have been caught every time they get questioned about everything denying until it’s ridiculous.
but you all keep that up in the face of trying to trash Obama on issues that actually are explainable and his attempt to talk about them.
We need to purge our government of these people. That is the point.

And to Senator McCaskill who was insulted and berated by her daughter into changing her vote. Good luck getting re-elected with that out there…but anyway.
I would prefer nails being thrown under the bus, rather than Grandma, his Rev, small town PA, and anything else that gets in his way. It’s a shame you don’t see the difference.

opps…correction…
Why DID Bubba…
Freudian slip, I guess…

Bill Clinton was re-elected despite the known baggage. Hillary Clinton was elected and re-elected too.
Bring it on! because Obama’s drug use, Rezko, and other baggage has not been opened yet.

This isnt true. In fact, in many states, Democrats would have lost without black voters. I am pro-Clinton, but please cut the racism. I think you’re right – the Dems are screwed either way. Women, whites and Latinos will stay home if Clinton loses and Blacks and college kids will if Obama loses. The loser party keeps its reputation! cool
“Doug, you say the black people will boycott Hillary, it’s okay they never show up to vote at general elections anyway. Maybe if Obama wins the white people will do the same thing and boycott him. Thanks for the idea.”

I think the funny thing is when you scroll down these comments all the Hillary people who now want to talk about numbers…lol…and the rest who keep going…”oh …and remember that one…oh and remember that one…oh and remember…ohohohoh…and that one.”
There are scandals on here that I forgot.
and now the Clinton people after bringing out “scandals” as a resonable thing to debate on are all like”move on already”
You have got to be kidding. If you can’t take the heat right?

Who cares about numbers? LOL. Besides, Obama accused Clinton of whining in one debate — and then he spent an entire weekend and invoked his media buddies to whine over the recent debate. So bruised and scared — he refuses to debate again. LOL.
“I think the funny thing is when you scroll down these comments all the Hillary people who now want to talk about numbers…lol…and the rest who keep going…”oh …and remember that one…oh and remember that one…oh and remember…ohohohoh…and that one.”

dl – anyone who lived through those times, remembers what the republican savagery was like. “Right-wing conspiracy” is a joke now but then the repubs – angry after losing the WH post Reagan/Buss – went after every little thing, turning everything into a special prosecutor/congressional investigation. The “cumulative effect” you’re referring to is bootstrapping – because she was investigated so many times there must be something there — even though she was cleared in each event? By that logic, every police/federal investigator, prosecutor, journalist, congressmember was incompetent – failing to prove anything. To follow that line is to say that HRC is so brilliant that she can out-run, out-evidence, and out-smart literally thousands of people. Is that what you’re saying?

I have a hard time believing that the press will bite on the old Clinton scandals. Every bit of the Clintons’ lives has been aired, ad nauseum. What else is anyone going to say about Whitewater, billinggate, travelgate, Monicagate, etc, etc, etc?

Candidate Clinton has no chance to win based on the numbers.
He won twice as many states he will gain at least a dozen in the add on superdelegate category.
Donna edwards will be elected in june which is another superdelegate.
Obama is on track to get 4 of the 6 edwards delegates in iowa.
At each step of the caucus process Obama does better adding more delegates.
Obama will make up more 10 delegates lost in pennsylvania in north carolina.

MIke in Texas
the problem with your “vetting” comment
the American people…well…ask them what they know about vince Foster?
ask them what they know about cattle futures?
ask them what they know about Marc Paul
ask them what they kkow about the witnesses that have died suddenly ithat were expected to be used in court for trials agaisnt the clintons?
ask them about maggie williams?
ask them about norman hsu?
ask them I can go on and on…
she has not been vetted to the American people…
most people don’t know any of the details outside of the monica trial, the blue dress, the rightwing conspiracy and something called “whitewater”
they only know the details of monica… becasue that is what this great republicna investigation honed in on…
they may have looked at the other stuff but they needed something directly with Bill that could get him removed…he lied on the stand under oath as President…aand it was odne…they had what they needed…and guess what …it worked.
She has not been vetted… she has never been asked about some of these situations and answered ever to the public never mind on camera or especially during this selection process …
if you all think as Hillary says “these types of questions need to be answered” that goes both ways.
why do you think that fox and the rnc have never once during this entire past 16 months mentioned any of these… because they want Hillary to be the nominee…yes Hillary has brought up a couple fo issues with Barack…but with her they have a tsunami to bring the dems to their knees.

and if one more of you doesn’t realize…that the RNC did not spend that money on looking at anything outside of the Monica trial once they had that…
and why don’t you all read the starr report…there are not answers to all questions…
That is the crutch we have relied on for a decade to make it seem like these people were better than GW (well I am happy to say that GW and the Clintons are not the bar).

david h
what exactly are the details of billingate? travelgate? whitewater?
because to be hinest I don’t think most of the people on here never mind the American people really know all the details…
I know 80% of them could not tell you almost anything baout 90% of the clinton scandals…and that’s being generous…
they just know …”oh the clintons have some scandals” they remember before 24 hr cable news people who were into those things talked about something that was questionable.
the only thing they know well is Monica.

Clinton has no chance at the nomination.
The media wants the ratings and the Clinton supporters are too dense to look at the math.
The popular vote argument is foolish because they aren’t giving Obama any vote for Michigan.
The popular vote argument is foolish because they are not including 4 caucus states.
The popular vote argument is foolish because Obama would have had a far bigger margin in caucus states out west that can’t stand candidate Clinton in a pprimary.
Candidate Clinton would have lost by big popular vote margins if there were primaries in states like colorodo instead of caucuses.
Candidate Clinton does horrible out west. She isn’t inspiring. Candidate Clinton is horrific in the mountain west, upper midwest like iowa.
Candidate Clinton dissed iowa. She said it was like running for mayor. She dissed wisconsin.
Candidate Clinton is weak in the northwest.
The nomination is over accept for the media who wants the ratings and are lying to Clinton supporters.
Obama is up 150 pledged delegates and will gain 16 more in north carolina and indiana. Obama will gain a dozen more from having won 14 more states in add on delegates.
Clinton supporters are too dense to realize this.
Obama gained more delegates in washington state last week.
Yesterday was terrible for Clinton she went from a 26 point lead to a 9 point lead and only picked up 8-10 delegates.
Clinton is very weak west of the mississippi.
Obama is far stronger in colorodo, nevada, oregon, washington state, new mexico, wisconsin, iowa, virginia.
Clinton runs 9 percent behind McCain in Michigan. Clinton loses to McCain 46-37 in Michigan.

Hillary is running a double standard with her campaign tactics. She expects to be able to attack Obama as much as she wants, and thinks it’s a fair way to ‘play the game’, but crys ‘foul’ if he attacks her, and to top it all off, if he doesn’t fight back, she labels him a ‘wimp’? This is not unlike many folks relationships- as a guy, you can’t win for losing. Why is all of Clinton’s baggage off limits for Senator Obama, his surrogates, or the blind press to rehash? Is there some unwritten Clinton ‘rule’ in effect? Thou shalt not impugn the Clintons with their dirty laundry from the nineties, or incur their rath? Are the press and party hacks like Pelosi and Dean afraid of the Clintons? Surely as a nation we should be able to see through all this double standard garbage, and hold Hillary accountable for her lifetime of unethical, dishonest, and intimidating behavior. Character does matter.

You have mentioned all of those things on here dl, time and again, and probably anywhere you blogged. what reaction have you gotten.
I truly hope the Obama campaign goes there. If they truly believe it should come up again, then they certainly have a right to do so. This is a political fight, not a tea party. All is fair!
As to your comment Roxanne, about let’s play ball. I am all for that! Obama will be totally unelectable by June 23rd.

dl posted:
“how did you feel when bill pointed his finger at the tv and said “I did not have sex with that woman.”
and when he came back and said “I lied ”
and when you heard the details of all the rigmarole that they went through to cover these things up?
how did you feel?”
dl,
I felt fine. To me, it always was a question that should never have been asked.

“Some idiotic voters find her untrustworthy, yet still vote for her because she is a woman.”
And … some idiotic voters find Mr. Waffles untrustworthy, yet still vote for him because …
… he’s NOT a woman?
… he’s half-”black”?

Unless you had to “co-sign” for something rco, I would say that your musings regarding HRC’s finances matter not one bit.
Same for you “regressive democrat”!

“I felt fine [about Wild Bill's reticence re White House erotic adventure]. To me, it always was a question that should never have been asked.”
The only time I EVER had any respect or affection for Bill Clinton was when he refused to discuss this. It was the right, if not the “lawful”, thing to do — and showed, I thought, that he DOES, oddly, respect women.
Anybody who’s willing to delve into all THAT either has never engaged in sex of any kind, or is a misogynist. There is no way to go into it without further victimizing the object of WB’s fleeting recreational intimacies.

Everyone should read the NYT article “The Low Road to Victory” ripping Hillary for her gutter tactics. Just like Michael Moore’s recent comments about Hillary’s disgusting campaign! And to think the NYT endorsed Hillary, i might add in her own state. They should retract their endorsement, if she doesn’t clean up her act. BTW, I would never vote for Obama because he’s a man or because he’s half black- those things don’t matter at all.

“With his glass jaw, whoever advised him on this course, is now allowing the Clintons to stop pulling their punches.”
‘Bout time. PA makes it hard to miss that the lowly voters have tired of the mystical obfuscation of the tender candidate’s actual biography and political practices.

again cali girl…
that money ended up predominantly focused on the one issue they could get him ousted with …so the idea that the independent counsel spent 80 million and found nothing on any scandal is simply wrong.
Thye found their issue that they knew they could ge thim on and guess what …(even with all the roadbloacks and running around to block them) they won.
These scandals have not been vetted in the light of 24 hr news and in the round of an election where Hillary is the focus.
Most of these scandals just floated offinto the wind because either a new scandal came along or other tiopics…or it was settled many times with violations against the Clintons.
but obviously you don’t even know that.
That is the problem…clinton supporters want to put their hands over their ears and scream “LALALALALA. sHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP I CAN’T HEAR YOU”
Go read all these things that the American population does not know…they just have heard words like “whitewater” or “vince foster” or “fbi files”… and then Monica…the only case that most of america knows and thinks that is the extent of the scandals…and that these scandals continue is the most fascinating thing…and taken individually you all can spin each as best you can but taken cumulatively… it’s like saying OJ was innocent.
there’s a point where “right wing conspiracy” no longer holds up to the weight…
How many politicians have THIS many investigations and fines and disbarrments and censures and returned funds and deaths and lies.
It’s bad…but when they are your king and queen and it’s the only light you can remember for 15 years… you get defensive and blinders.

“I would never vote for Obama because he’s a man or because he’s half black- those things don’t matter at all.”
Uh, what DOES, then? His stupid health plan? The adjustable accents? The supercilious persona? The soldier-cult fervor of his determination to subdue Afghanistan? The Cheez Whiz?

dl,
I’m fully aware of all of those ‘scandals’. The reason he finally settled on that subject is that it is hard to float a case about Whitewater when the Clintons lost money.
The ‘Filegate’ is a moot point now with the Patriot Act destroying the Constitution. Vince Foster has been treated like a conspiracy theory, so that won’t get any traction either.
My memory about all of these is just fine and no I don’t have blinders on, which is why Obama doesn’t get a pass from me.
However, my issue with the Clintons had to do with real subjects like giving the UN some of our National Parks.
Do you even remember that happened? Or are you too busy on fake subjects? Like the Hillary/Iran rant?

Rough week for Hillary! She wins PA, but Obamna gets 2 supers. Hillary raises 10 million,( she is now even) but gets a scathing report from NYT who previously endorsed her. 49 supporters of Edwards are announcing for Obama. Obama is reminding Hillary of her and Bill’s past, and her vulnerabilities. Most PA vioters acknowledge that it was HIllary who went negative.
Lets see if she backs off or does Obama unload on her.
Obama08

Oh I hope Obama goes after her, then she will have licence to hit him on everything full throttle. There is a lot of material on him, known and not known “yet”

Bill Clinton was convicted of anything. He was never tried for anything. He was impeached by a Republican congress that was infuriated that Starr and all of the OIC could find nothing but Lewinsky.
He left office with a 65% approval rating by the American people.
It is probable that more people have already been indicted in the Resko mess than were ever indicted re whitewater.
Obama’s indictment may come sooner than later.

Well since the old gal is claiming a co-presidency, we really need to go back and look at ALL those pardons and clemencies Billy Boy granted. Just how many criminals were there and what were their crimes. We know about the Weatherman Underground but there were 16 from the FALN terrorists as well.
While we are at it, don’t forget how Bill Clinton force fed the Chinese trading partnership thru. He even lifted the governing counsel that was to oversee patents etc. He wanted NO constraints on trade with the Chinese. And just how much have the Chinese donated to his Library and his foundation?
While we are at looking at the old baggage don’t forget the NEW baggage with Peter Paul vs Clinton. Don’t forget the Colombian trade agreement Billy Boy wants and Hillary SAYS she doesn’t want. The Clintons had M. Penn and her financial advisor making backdoor deals while she is consoling all those blue collar workers in PA about their job losses.
Go for it Obama! If you don’t we know the Republicans will. Clinton has proven you cannot run a campaign against her without a gutter fight. Don’t anyone dare critize Obama for roughing up a woman. This is NO LADY or leader. She is a bitter woman scorned who only has this one thing left in her life.

Hillary didn’t bring up Obama’s “issues.” The media did – finally! But go ahead new politics campaign. Throw the kitchen sink and then blame Clinton. Barack is such a baby!!! It’s pathetic, and Republican radio thinks it’s hysterical.

Lots of you want Hillary to win, lots of you here want Barack to win. Barack looks like he will win based on votes and delegates. He may be a weak candidate–or not–but the rules were put in place before the primaries, and all the candidates said they would follow the rules. The Republicans have a winner take all system, which may strike you as “unfair” or “lopsided”, but that is what the Republicans have chosen. Hillary cannot catch Barack. Every person on this board knows this. I guess if you want Hillary to be President, this fact is depressing. She should have done a better job at the beginning. She really screwed up. She did it to herself. No one put money on Obama for anything before Iowa. Even after Iowa, the prevailing view was that Hillary would right the ship like George H.W. Bush did against Dole in New Hampshire. Hillary supporters need to decide whether they want their party to win–and support Obama, or if they want their candidate and not the party, and are willing to assist the McCFain campaign. Hillary’s finished.

McCaskill’s a joke! Nails under the bus. Please bring up the Clinton baggage I’m sure by now it will be rosy fresh. By the way, Hillary was impeached and didn’t make pardon’s but go ahead McCaskill show your daughter what it’s like to get down and dirty in the “New” politics Barack brings. Why if he is winning so big and is sure to win the nomination would he even consider stooping this low? Is he that embarrassed about his debate performance? Or is it all the foreign policy experience he got while in elementary school in Indonesia?

Claire McCaskill on Bill Maher:
McCASKILL: It wasn’t “Mommy please.” It was Maddy in my face saying, you know, “How can you look yourself in the mirror?” “You’re a slug.” “You’re playing it politically safe.” I – “You believe in this guy.” “I’ll never speak to you again, if you don’t stand up and have some courage.” It was pretty intense. And she was right. It was like a cold – cold bucket of water on my head. She was absolutely right.

Since Claire wants to remind people of the 90′s, I thought she might like to be reminded of some her greatest hits:
Obama-backing Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said at a press conference courtesy of the Kansas City Star, HERE):
“What this man has done, Barack Obama, is, he, for the first time I think, as a black leader in America, has come to the American people not as a victim, but rather as a leader.”
Maybe her daughter wrote that for her.

Regardless of the spin put on by McCaskill, Hillary Clinton wins the electoral college in November against McCain.
Obama cannot.

Regardless of the Rezko-esq scandals that surround Hillary Clinton, freshman Senator McCaskill would do well to consider what rural Missourians think about being called bitter, gun-toting religious zealots by a man who for 20 years stood by and listened as seeds of racial hatred were sown in his children and others but who not only couldn’t muster up the courage to address it with his friend in private but who instead made excuses justifying such speech to the public.
There are more than enough Obama scandals to justify McCaskill’s sppedy departure from the Obama bandwagon, and if she wants a second term it would greatly behoove her to do so as soon as possible.

If roughly 14 million people who have
voted have gotten over it, maybe its
time for everybody else to move on and
get over these non-issues.
Obama is unelectable, he will not be able to unite this party. He will lose
a lot of the Clinton vote, and aocording
to the polls she wouldn’t lose as many
Obama supporters in the GE.
The superdelegates really do need to wait and let this play out, lets give every person the chance to vote and decide

Good old Claire…and even as her fondest hope of being VP fades she just keeps up her attack dog rold.
I’m sure as always in an effort to play on the negatives that the Republicans opened up the Obama campaign will try to keep the Clinton scandals in the forefront.
Watch out Claire I think that the MSM has been really kind about the Obama judgement and experience…but they may tire of hounding Clinton and get tired of working Obama’s talking points.
King Obama can whine and threaten and spend and fret….the truth Hillary is rising and he doesn’t know what to do!
Remember Rezko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that Sen. Obama does not want to do negative campaigning, but it’s do or die. Clinton is throwing nails in front ot the bus. Obama will not win on being “nice”. I have been wondering why Clinton’s baggage has not already been airing. Please don’t wait to late….

Becky, this is about a ad with this Edward backer and Obama. he is fron LA

let’s see, old news from the 90s that’s been rehashed over and over and that everyone knows about already, vs. stuff people don’t yet know about obama – hmmm, wonder which has more legs….
mccaskill’s such a tool.
the obamaites are just trying this out since their guy got trounced last night.

Clinton stuff from the 90′s? Best president in the last 30 years, balanced budget, Education improvments, job creation, World respect , striving economy. Resistance to the Republican/Ken starr inquiscition. What about Obama”s past? Will republicans start when he was hooked on drugs?

Actually new “baggage” is about to arrive for Hill. April 25 the court will decide onthe date in the fall for the tial of Paul v Clinton on the biggest fraud case involving Hill’s 2000 Senate Campaign for $17 million.
Superdelegates may want to considet that Hill will be testifying in the fall in Los Angeles instead of be available to camapign in the General Election.
So I ask you…who really is electable?

It’s difficult to take McCaskill seriously since the main reason she’s backing Obama is because her teenage daughter threw a tantrum and called her a slug. Unfortunately, that’s the type of Democratic “leadership” that’s trying to shove Obama down the throats of the voters. Ain’t gonna work, no way, no how.

The Republican leadership has ALWAYS counted on Hillary Clinton as their biggest asset in terms of both contributions and focus. NO ONE is hated more by the Republican Right Wing than the Clintons and they can always use her as a rallying cry, even to back the not-so-right wing John McCain. Why else would he man behind the right-wing-conspiracy endorse her candidacy? He wants to rally his base against her in the fall and he needs her to beat Obama by any means possible right now. The truth is the truth.

Bill Clinton was impeached, for God’s sake!!!! And that is the least of their
deeds.

Hillary was originally projected the winner in Mo. She ended up losing by less than 1%? Obama will not carry the state & Claire McCaskill will not be re-elected.

Is this the chick who said her 19 year old daughter prompted her to endorse Obama? Yeah, we should take what she says as gospel. LOL

Wow,
After reading all the comments posted here, I didn’t realize how ignorant and racist some Americans really are. What a scary thought. All the derogatory remarks, all the name calling, come on people, I would hope that we as a country is better than this. Whether you are for Hillary or Barack. Stop all this none sense…geez.
GOD BLESS this country of ours and I pray for its future!!!
