Bill Clinton Has ‘Never Seen a Candidate Treated So Disrespectfully Just for Running’

This is ridiculous. Why are Bill and Hillary Clinton trying to delegitimate the process? Hillary is loosing today not because she is a woman, not because the media is biased, but because she has run a terrible campaign and has been a flawed candidate. There go the Clinton’s again trying to blame their own failures on everyone else.

what?
i cant believe this, someone needs to put together a tape of how they ended up in this position…
while i do think that at times hte media was wrong for saying she was shrill, but how she is being treated now is a direct result of how she has PLAYED the game…
wow, i just cant believe they continue to play teh victim card…
why not embrace yourself as a champion instead of a victim..
just another wrong move in a long list of wrong moves from her campaign…

Bill clinton, you are my modern day hero but Hilary is not you. Nobody is pushing Hilary out and stop trying to create sentiments as that only serve to fuel hate and plant seeds of discord in the party who you revere and which still hold you in high esteem. Hilary has every right to go till the convention but we are almost in june and the party is still fighting. Eight years of George Bush has crippled the economy and no one wants another term for another Mcbush. Constructively looking at the remaining process, there is really no way Hilary can upturn that delegate count. Infact the reason why many delegates have not weighed in is because of the respect they have for you. We need time to heal and that healing process has to start soon. Look at the comments on most blogs, if we dont start now we can start welcoming President Mccain on board.

Kerry go for it.
They want this so bad it hurts….When she first started she said,”Do NOT think of me as a woman” I am running for president.NOW the tide has turned and everyone is crying foul>>>Can’t talk out of both sides of your mouth,can’t change rules mid stream,can make promises that you can’t keep.
My God who do they think they are get to he– out ,yo have caused so many probles already.If she left when she was beaten none of this crap would be going around Billy.THe big thing is all your DIRTY deals ,you must owe so much that you need this position to re-pay tour debts…I hope they came after you ………AND you didn’t have to go until June to get your name on the ballot….Misspoke again.You knew in March it was youes.

More rant I see. More lies. Nothing to loose Clintons.
I have never seen anything like it. The campaign is now talking about going through the summer into Aug. Oh well.
Obama08

irma,
the people are pushing for obama, that is hwy he is ahead… i dont get where you get this conspiracy that the DNC or whoever else you say is pushing obama..
why is it a conspiracy and not that hillary has just ran a bad campaign? why isnt it her fault…
she was highly favored to win this, she knew it, everyone knew it, and then she blew it because she thought it was in the bag…
she has no one to blame except herself

Why is Bill Clinton WHINING again?
It really is NOT becoming to an ex-president.

anne what?
you need to get your facts straight if MEN wanted her out, why would she have gotten this far…
please
and to talk about driving hwere you want wasting energy… you sound like a republican and someone who is antiearth
you must be a republican..

I was strongly for HRC until the race card was played by WJC in SC. After HRC’s comments on Friday about her staying in the race to see if something catastrophic happens to Obama, I’m over the edge.
The Clinton push to get themselves back into the WH, does not seem like wanting Democracy to play out. It’s all about getting power for themselves.

Who is it this time! The media? The DNC? The far right? Bill, weren’t you the one who said that politics is a tough business and if you can’t take the heat, you shouldn’t be running for office? Quit complaining and buck up.

dem38
i repeat, i am a democrat and i will vote for the democratic nominee
i supported hillary at the beginning of this race but when she went negative i was completley turned off from her
i started to listen to obama and i really like him and his message, and i am going with his vision of hte future
i voted for him and will vote for him in hte GE
if hillary somehow was able to take the nomination, i wouldnt be happy and i would feel she stole it somehow, but i would indeed vote for her, or whomever the democratic nominee is

It hard to believe Bill Clinton ruled the country with this kind of judgment for 8 years, clearly they didn’t make it I will advice them to accept defeat and work well for the party after this. I believe he wipe out his legacy badly after all this.

dave
BO wont be nominated and you will accept it!

scott
I will never vote for Obama because hes not qualified he doesnt hold down jobs too long!

Don’t worry guys; the end is near. Every single day this family of liars are closer and closer to the exit door. America has done what is right: bury the clintons’ years once for all. The future looks brighter than ever before. Democracy is making its comeback. Did you see today’s Montana Poll?
Obama 52%, Clinton 35%
Look at this:
Obama is ahead Clinton among men by 58 percent to 33 percent, and among women by 48 percent to 36 percent, the poll showed.
Voters younger than age 50 favor Obama by 56 percent to 30 percent, while those 50 and older back Obama 49 percent to 39 percent.
Fantastic!!!! Bill has been “succesfully” campaigning in the state.

The Clintons’ arrogance appalls me. Hillary apparently thought is was her God given right to have the prsidency. Unfortunately history got in her way.

All polls I see show that HRC is the stronger candidate in the GE. The only reason BHO is ahead today is because of the “bandwagon” effect. Everyone was pro – Hillary until they saw that BHO won Iowa and it was just so much more fun to manipulate all of you obamobots for the past six months…..wait, when the fun is over you will all be blamed for being so naive

Look out how passionate Clinton and Obama’s supporters are when discussing their candidate’s issue. If we can turn this heat on the Republicans, I tell you they will have no hiding places.

margi
oh but they do tear her down every day and leave Obama out of it so he doesnt have to say anythign the Obama people are the shameless thugs!

Quote of the Day
“I think a lot of the superdelegates will make a decision quite, announced quite rapidly, after the final primary on June 3… I have not yet announced publicly, but I think at that point it will be time for her to give it up.”
– Jimmy Carter, in an interview with Sky News.

vuzous
if Obama would accept Hillary as VP that could happen but he wont because the inexperienced inept uninformed younger supporters will not accept it

It depends on what poll/polls you look at as to who is winning. It is constantly changing. Why is everyone in a rush to get Hillary out? Many of
us believe that Hillary can turn this
country around far better than Mr. Obama. He’s played the race card, yet it goes ignored. He is not our “saviour” or our “messiah”. Let’s just wait and see….stranger things have happened in this world.

President William Jefferson Clinton is absolutely right. If Senator Hillary Clinton were a man, NO ONE would be forcing her out of the nomination process. I am a man and I see the rampant sexism involved since Iowa and is disgusting. Now, Senator Barack Obama is actually telling the media that Hillary is “stirring up trouble” in Florida by her attempting to make sure that every Floridian’s vote is counted. “Stirring up trouble?!” Try taking Barack’s phoniness to task! This woman is a fighter. Tougher than any man I have ever seen run for President. She would make a GREAT President.

Bill and Hillary Clinton will come away from this primary with nothing left, they have lost all their political capital and will be the laughing stock of Washington.

I’m amazed by the people posting they’d vote McCain if Hillary does not win; that type of post cannot be from a Democrat because Obama and Hillary have many of the same policies. Instead, there is an appearance of “republican talk radio” gamesmanship. Why are people afraid to really post their own opinions instead of post bites (derived from sound bites)?

From all the comments from all the blogs that come across all these media channels, I have a feeling that one person somewhere above is correct – that by November Sen. Obama’s campaign will be smart enough to register enough voters who care about this country to win against the Republicans even without all the hate-mongering supporters of Sen. Clinton. I think Sen. Obama’s campaign should be in a position to acknowledge the above and move ahead to select a VP nominee with a head above the shoulder, and just ignore Sen. Clinton and her racist supporters, who represent a small minority

Doesn’t anyone find it the least bit strange that Obama wants to talk to the terrorist leaders, (to talk peace) YET, his own CHURCH lives and breaths hatred for the whites and this country and Israel, instead of preaching forgiveness and God’s message, and you don’t see the absurdity in this???? And you all still vote for him. Is anyone thinking?

The line about ‘bullying superdelegates’ made me chuckle, given that it was Bill Clinton who came pretty close to bullying Bill Richardson for instance, and from all accounts he has been the one talking to superdelegates phoning them up so often.
I am begining to suspect that the only reason for the Clinton to drag this out for as long as possible is to rewrite history as much as possible. I think Hillary would be given a deal more respect if she stood up on June 3rd or even before and stood aside at let the healing start as soon as possible.

Just go an vote for the best woman!

No one has been more disrespectful to Hillary Clinton than Bill Clinton with his very public philandering…years of it! It’s unfortunate that he can only rant at others. His own behavior far disgraces he and Hillary than any media coverage.

Wow! To those Hillary supporters who say they will vote for McCain if Hillary is not the candidate, I say time for a reality check.
The candidate with the most policy similarities…the candidate who IS a Democrat and a Christian is Barak Obama.
If you are willing to vote for McCain out of anger, or in a fit of jealous stupidity I have to wonder what kind of people Hillary has in her camp.
If we don’t act like grown ups and do our homework and vote for the better person, we will be stuck with this lousy economy and horrible bloody war, which I remember was entered into because of weapons of mass destruction that were a fantasy.
Are Americans so stupid that they have allowed the powerful corporate interests in this country to rape and plunder us?
Vote for the person who is closest to Hillary (not the opposite)
I’m a woman, and I say calm down and stop letting the opposite side divide and conquer.

It’s about time and he is 100% correct in his claims. I will not vote for a candidate that the media chooses for me. Obama sounds like he cares more about the rest of the world, and what they think of us, than this country. He and his wife both sound like they hate this mean spirited country – the country where men and women rushed into two burning towers to save whoever they could. The same country that so generously gives to the rest of the world – during good and bad times. I want someone in office that loves this country as much as I do, and if I can’t vote for Hillary then I will vote for McCain!

Clintons, If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

He beat her fair and square with the delegates even if you put in Michigan and Florida, and they just cant believe that America would want Obama over them. The popular vote really means nothing because Michigan, he wasnt on the ballot, and they dont count Iowa, Nevada, Washington,Wyoming, and Maine because they were caucuses. The Clintons are both crazy and never want to take responsibility for anything. If she didnt vote for the war, she would have won. Ge over oit. He might not win all the states she does, but she doesnt winn all of the states he does either. The polls I have seen show them both winning….Why are they causeing so much trouble…wha a bunch of sore losers!

Bill really needs to keep his mouth shut. Every time he opens it, he makes it appear that Hillary is unable to take care of herself.

Well Kerry,
Happily we all get one vote…and one vote only.
In your case that is damage control.
The media as far as I know has not accompanied any of us into the voting booth.
You are one of the lemmings if you vote McCain.

Eileen wrote: “New strategy: write in Hillary if we end up with the weaker candidate as our nominee. Don’t vote for McCain, just write in the better candidate.”
Nahh, in some states the DNC has it rigged to go to their candidate anyway. Just safer for America to vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee.
Hillary ’08

Where has the rev. wright been lately it is like he feel off the face of he earth someone should check up on him I wonder how much he was paid to keep quiet, Let me make this perfectly clear if Obama wins the nomination it will be a sad sad day I can stand to look at that smirk anymore and his arrogance is way too much for me If Hillary doesn’t get the nomination than it will be McCain for me Obama needs to grow up this election is not all about the baby Obama and his self centeredness, I don’t like the fact that he can not be questioned or critized who does he think he is anyway that makes him look very bad

I support Hillary and I, too, will be voting McCain come November if Obama receives the nomination. I rather have someone in office who has experience and truly loves this country.

Bill has a point. The Gallup has Clinton leading McCain by 5% and Obama trailing McCain by 2%.
Not one headline on the poll. I found out by checking the website. Looked at another same deal.
This is truly rotten the way Hillary is being treated. No, I will not forget this by November.

What the Clintons are proving day by day with every act and comment is a high level of arrogance, entitlement. They were hoping for a coronation, instead they got elections. They really believe they are royalty, and nobody should question what they say. Bill Clinton should think about how he put Hillary on the losing path in South Carolina, and it has just gotten worse since then.

What about FOX excluding Ron Paul from the debate? All the media treating him like he doesn’t exist? The GOP bigwigs shuting down the Nevada state convention so it doesn’t elect all Ron Paul delegates?

The “Clinton machine” is like that old pickup sitting in the left lane holding up traffic.
Stop all this CRYING and get out the way !!!
OBAMAS LEXUS IS COMING THROUGH !!!

Never thought I’d be in this position, but I agree with Bill Clinton. The media has been blatantly biased against Hillary. She should stay in the race. She has the best chance against McCain. Obama is a deeply flawed candidate whose rise is due entirely to the brilliance of his campaign managers and support of the far-left libs of the DNC leadership.
Superdelegates-don’t be unfair!

island girl!
i agree i really wanted hillary to be the first women president, which is why i supported her
and then she went all republican on us
and i say that because of her mud slinging dirty political tactics against her fellow democrat
the longer this has gone on, the more i have found myself just wondering what the heck is going on.
She changes her story and her victory or her means for winning every single primary
i wish she would take a higher road and stop this divisive talk and start projecting herself as a champion for women and talking about unity within the party
she can still compete, and if something happens to obama she would obviously be the next in line to take over..
why she continue to fight dirty like this is beyond me, and i really feel it just continue to hurt her

if clinton supporters vote for mccain then they can’t complain when roe v wade is overturned or when we go to war with iraq or when we don’t get healthcare or when the rich and corporations get tax cuts and the poor get poorer!!

sonny
thats exactly it… someone of privaledge like obama that got everywhere he has gotten because of handouts will not ascend to the presidency… people are smarter than that and Obama is a fraud

kerry – Did they pay you by the run on sentence? How about by the grammatical error?
Moron.

Be careful, the opinions expressed by a disbarred attorney or an impeached President may not be accurate.

dem38..i will NEVER be silent as long as there are people like you around!! What nerve you have to tell me that Obama will not be elected. What are you afraid of? You CANNOT stop the inevitable. It is time for America to make a change. You speak out of fear of goodness. Fortunately, you are the minority in this great big equation. This is so much here that is bigger than us.

There are so many inaccurate statements in Clinton’s remarks that one hardly knows where to begin. I will try to restrain myself.
Bill refers to recent polls as evidence that Hillary is more electable. The fact is that we don’t know who is more electable right now because there are simply too many variables, which will be cashed out in different ways in the months ahead. One thing is fairly certain, given the mixed and changing results in snapshot state and national polls, the Democrats would be foolish to select a candidate based on them.
Further, claims by the Clintons about a so-called national popular vote are bogus. There is no such thing as a national popular vote in the Democratic nominating process. Too many apples and oranges are involved. There are caucus and non-caucus states. (Caucus states have fewer “voters” who cast “ballots.”) There are states that have included independents and those that haven’t. Some have allowed party cross-overs and some have not. These election results can’t be combined into one figure, and especially not into a figure that will satisfy everyone. Bottom Line: if the Democrats back off from using the delegate count in nominating their candidate, and try to substitute a bogus national popular vote, they will be courting calamity.

kerry..you are scary and sound like you are losing it..good luck with that.larry sinclair was debunked months ago. get over it and why hasn’t it made any national media coverage?? because only truly naive people like you believe it. this board is way too negative for me. there are some truly scary people on here.

CRY BABY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>both of you ..

My hat is off to Bill Clinton! He’s done more for the country than any other politician in our modern history. I don’t know anyone could hold a candle to Bill Clinton in terms of service to this country and the world! He was one of our best presidents! He left office with 450 Billion surplus. What more proof do you want? Most others, Kerry, Kennedy,Carter, Obama; just jivers! Bill Clinton is absolutely right, the media, should be shameful! This is like a media in the some third world country. Each and ever media person is pro-Obama. Just like the Russian media is pro-Putin! But I think our media want the weaker candidate to win the Democratic race for a reason. For our media everything is going as planned; they wanted Mr. Obama because he’s going to lose to Sen. McCain in the general election. The latest CBS poll shows that. People like Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy have helped the Democratic Party ruin itself over the years, talking about failed policies! Meanwhile, our country is suffering, and falling among nations. Today, USA is 40th in infant mortality and 42st in life expectancy in the world. It was only Bill Clinton who was able to reverse our country from decline. No other President was able to do as much as Bill Clinton did for America since FDR. Bill Clinton did much in spite of constant hit jobs and media attacks! I think Sen. Hillary Clinton should seriously think about running independently in the fall. Saving our country from decline is far more important than Democratic Party unity!

I wish ABC would just blow.
At the end of this election it is the media who’ll be the true losers.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Clinton for standing up to Obama’s media machine with one of your own.
We shall overcome.
Go, Hillary, all the way to the White House.
–Kent

It’s not Obama’s policies that turn us off. It’s our conviction that he has none, and that his policies are promises only. It’s his character that turns us off. He is not responsible for Rev. Wright’s awful sermons but he IS responsible for listening to him for 20 years, for calling him a spiritual adviser. And he is responsible for the racial animosity in his first book against whites. We don’t believe that has gone away. And we don’t want him as our President. Give us Hillary or give us McCain.

As a state senator, Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko’s successful bid to get more than $14 million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens.
The deal included $855,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama’s former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama’s state Senate district.

its time
the damage has been done by Obama and that weasle axelrod!

kerry,
Put your money where your month is, go to Hillary.com and show your support. She’s run a failed campaign strategy, mismanaged her finances and she wants to run this country. I need a candidate ready on day one, not one trying to pay off a debt.

Sarah-Wi, Obama is doing the right thing now. Engaging the Republicans in their traditional strong-holds which is Security and he is not doing badly, infact he is gaining support and with the inclusion of negotiating but with clear-cut agenda, he may end up winning the debate on Security. face it, are we really safe with all the tough talk of the Republicans? If you think so, try travelling outside the country and identify yourself as an American.By the time the debate on security is over and healthcare, economy, education and other issues comes in Mcbush will be finished. Cant you see his attack on Mccain on the issue of veterans made Mccain go nasty and personal and showed the anger of Mccain everyone has always known. Mccain now sounded stupid,insinuating Obama has no morality to attack his views on Veterans because he never served by enlisting in the army as if millions of people that are blogging on this site are not patriotic because they never enlisted in the war. That means even Bill Clinton or Hilary cannot comment on that issue, not to talk of the good ole bush himself. I tell you Mccain will be toast.

Obama is the one that has divided the Democratic Party.
The Democrats should have won the White House in a cake walk this year.
However, Obama decided to grab for it all way too soon.
Why? Because Obama didn’t want to wait his turn.
Within weeks of entering the U.S. Senate, Rookie U.S. Senator Obama started planning his run for the U.S. presidency, when he should have served at least one term in the U.S. Senate before running.
When McCain wins the General Election, blame Obama’s selfish ambition and his “So what if I don’t have enough experience” campaign for turning the Democratic nomination race upside down.

Let it all out Bill, it is good therapy

Bill, You’re so silly. Hillary isn’t winning in the polls. Well, maybe in the ‘Clinton Fantasy Research Polls.’

I can’t wait to see Chris Mathews and Keith Olbermann give commentary on the convention. The both of them should be paid by the Obama campaign for their reporting. This is going to the convention.

LOL!! Would love to see the hate mongering racists faces after BO is nominated and WINS the presidency. Yep and it will be a black man – The first shall be last and the last shall be first………

I agree with My forever President Clinton 100%.
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA, I will see this MOVEON+OBAMA machine lost this fall!

GO HILLARY – KEEP FIGHTING!!!
Looks like the obama group is out – again. Just look at the posts here – guess that is the Obama type. Hillary supporters are much kinder – and vote for the best person to lead our country – not just follow the hype.

keep it up,if you think barry can win in novemebr go for it,a large number of us that have supported hillary will not vote for him and putting her in as vp DOES NOT CHANGE A THING,first we are americans so electing someone to potus who has associated with either meembers of the cpusa or other antiamerican organizations since he was in high school is a deal breaker,then you throw in the combine connection from chicago and it really is a no go.if this is not enough for you throw in all the personal name calling by the obama supporters and by his outright lies that the msm have failed to call him on,any questions.

Obama is an earth-disturber.
The Democratic Party’s chances of winning the White House may be in ruins, but Obama has the satisfaction of knowing that he is better off for disrupting what should have been an easy Democratic win of the White House.

No matter how bad things get when the chips are down the one thing you can count on for the Clintons is thaty will LIE their way out of anything.
Bill Clinton needs to go be a husband to his wife she his having a meltdown. I’m starting to wonder if this fool is the one pushing this thing.
Get a Grip please you’ve been in the White House for 8 years its OVER you are not going back unless Chelsea takes you back when you are much older so accept it and MOVE ON.
The people on your ship are defecting that should tell you something

The Republicans are having field days watching Democrats killing each other and McCain is competing with Dem candidates side by side, may even have a chance to win the 2008 election. The Republican party ran this country so bad that most population in this country was supposedly not wanting to vote them any more. But thanks to Hillary for beating Obama to death desparatedly grabbing any chance for nomination. The Democrats are uneducated, blind, poor pile of loose sand. Keep it up, McCain will win 2008.

I hate to have to vote for McCain but I will before I vote for Obama. His stance on meeting our enemies without preconditions in downright scary. Check out history and what happened when JKF did the same thing with Russia, it was called the “Bay of Pigs” and almost started a nuclear war here in our own country. Read about it and how history has shown how foolish it is to meet your enemies without conditions.
Obama is simply too inexperienced and that makes him dangerous.
I also don’t care for his Chicago Political background, everyone knows how shady Chicago politics is, you can buy any of them. Check out the funding Obama got for Rezko thru a state grant and how most of the money went into Rezko’s pocket.
Change you can believe in alright! Not the kind I want!

What next is Hillary going to cry? Hillary Clinton keeps coming up with these ridiculous arguments. Her latest is that she has the popular vote behind her! The Clinton’s were the ones who advocated going against the popular vote by their emphasis on the supper-delegates! Rather than deal With their cognitive dissonance between their liberal values and their desire to win they instead are using the Freudian defense mechanisms of reaction formation and projection! They are using the Joseph Gobbels technique of the “Big Lie”. Keep repeating they have the popular vote and people will start to believe this!

Sorry to burst your bubble Bill, but if you add in the Edwards votes Obama can get more than half, in any scenerio….watch this.
Obama has 1658.5
there are 86 for the next 3 contests.
1/2 of 86 = 43.
1653.5+43 = 1696.5
Pick a scenerio.
1/2 of Florida & Michigan….1706 to get majority (1 more than half) of pledge delegates
As the vote is today, Obama gets 34 in Florida.
1695.5+34 = 1729.5…more than half.
All of Florida and Michigan
Majority = 1786 (pledged)
1695.5 + 68 (Florida) = 1753.5
Edwards (Florida) = (approx) 20
1753.5 + 20 = 1793.5
And there are still 7 more Edwards votes to go.
Maybe I made a mistake here somewhere, but, I would still tend to disagree with BIll….as always.
And, yes, after the blunder Hillary made yesterday, it doesn’t matter. Its really over.

Brent,
I need to talk to my mother about where she is hiding all the money. This is urgent! I must go and find the tramp – oh hell naw.
Mama has been hiding the freaking hush money. Dang!

Obama runs as well or better than Hillary against a number of states and is ahead of her in varying margins in all the national polls. The popular vote argument isn’t how a nominee is picked as delegates select the nominee. She also doesn’t count the vote in caucus states in her compilations and counts both Florida and Michigan to be ahead, when Obama was not even on the ballot there and many people did not vote because of that fact. Obama also picked up an extra pledged delegate in Alaska (he now has 10 to 3) rather than the 9 to 4 at the earlier caucuses just as he did last week in Nevada where he now has a 14 to 11 lead among pledged delegates. The more interesting election might be between Mr. and Mrs Clinton for either president of the Liars Club or Whiners CLub. It would be a close one.

Obama is connected to many shady characters. Is anyone dumb enough to think that Obama who’s Pastor Rev Wright was like an uncle and his spiritual advisor and who attended his sermons for 20 years and listened to his hate filled message, did not have the same beliefs. We know what Obama says he believes but we do not know what he actually believes.

This is Bill Clinton’s attempt at trying to get sympathy for HRC. First the clinton’s wanted to change the rules, that didn’t work, then they started negative attacks, that didn’t work, then bill clinton said “i can’t believe they are picking on a girl” that didn’t work, then they said “white people won’t vote for Obama” however oregon proved them wrong, then they said “the caucases didn’t count, funny how they counted when bill ran for president, then they said she wasn’t winning because of sexism, that almost worked becasue people felt sorry for her and she got the “pity” vote, now they are saying “she is being pushed out of the race”, well i can guarantee that if senator obama was in the same position as she is in he would have been forced out a long, long, long, long time age. They would have insisted that he drop out, and everyone knows it’s true. I am sick of bill and hillary both they are power hungry and they will stop at nothing, they can’t accept the fact that she muffed up her campaign, if she had played her cards right she would have done better than she has, and now she is on her way out. I also don’t believe she made a mistake in refernecing RFK, she is a snake in the grass just waiting. Even her campaign people constantly say “anything can happen” why don’t they truly unify the party instead of just giving lip service to party unity. They both need psycological help. I would not trust her to be vice president to anyone. If she were the vp, then the president would need a professional food taster 24/7. Go away already you are embarrassing yourself and your legacy

Hello Bill,
Hillary receives no respect? That is too bad for her. Let me guess … is it her ill-fated personality? or using gender WHEN she wants it ? or her strong mind of Entitlement (becoming P or VP)?
Bill I think you pretty know your wife’s nature. So what is your complaint ?

I really have to take issue with how the Clintons are counting the popular vote. They handily erase caucus states like my own. They give Obama zero votes in Michigan. And they want to count all the votes? Liars.

He is telling it like it is Obama and gang are use to strong arming people the media has been in the tank for Obama because I think the minute she leaves this race you all will see how much they really want Mac. Wright did Obama in with the white vote and it was stupid for him to have the black panther thing and the church info for all to see on his home page it was the last thing I was thinking about when I went to his site and the church site and Obama has called for her to get out since NH with the help of the media I have never seen any thing like this and it is the buzz in many places there has not been any postive media on her do you think 17, million people are not real we will lose in Nov. and there will be no democratic party coming together.She made mistakes but he was just as stupid keeping the company he keeps.IMO

Bill is pretty confused. The two of them seem to think that if they just say it loud enough and long enough that anything they say will be true. For months now, their whole pitch has been to keep the super delegates from supporting Obama. Just hold off a little longer. . . and then again . . . and then again. They aren’t able to gain support, so their thrust has been to keep Obama from gaining support. Anyone who has read the blogs in the past two weeks knows that anger is hardening day by day on both sides. In the past two weeks, it has gotten significantly worse. Enough. Time to begin the work of bringing the party together.

Bill, you want so much to be back in the Oval Room seat, but Hillary won’t be there for you. She’ll be out doing her thing. Why don’t you just let this work itself out without your mouth?

It’s true what Bill Clinton is saying: That we as the public and the media are trying to pressure them to concede before all the votes are in and all the primaries are over. It’s a tight race–she should have the right to run until it’s really over. What is so “power hungry” about that? Who of you can say that it’s wrong for her to stay until all the votes are in? That’s like discounting all the people left to vote–saying their votes don’t count and it’s “already decided”.
I personally like both Hillary and Obama and would be pleased with either candidate. Let’s wait until all the votes and superdelegates are in please before declaring a winner. Besides, if what he’s saying is true–we have to think about the general election and who will really beat McCain

Anarchyjack, I got news for you; that is, millions of Americans still remember the booming national economy that we had during Bill Clinton’s two terms of office, and how Bill Clinton ended the recession that gripped our nation when he first took office.
I also remember how Bill Clinton help end the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 and 1998, which caused the New York Stock Exchange to suspend trading for the first time in its history.
The Asian Financial Crisis was started by Billionaire Obama Financial Backer George Soros, who engaged in rogue currency speculation.
Soros also backs Move-On.com and other radical left wing causes, and he is also known as the Man who broke the Bank of England through his financial manipulation of the currency markets.
Soros backs Obama, because he plans to make more billions under an Obama presidency.
Bill Clinton ended the Asian Financial Crisis by ordering the U.S. Treasury to join the International Monetary Fund in a rescue plan for Southeast Asian currencies, since it was causing a global financial melt-down.
Bill Clinton help end the global financial crisis, and money poured in from Southeast Asia into the U.S. financial markets and from across the world, because the U.S. markets were perceived as being more stable under Bill Clinton’s strong presidency.
This flood of foreign money into the U.S. Market during Bill Clinton’s presidency triggered a booming national economy.
You can claim that the national economy wasn’t that great during Bill Clinton’s presidency if you want to.
However, millions of Americans already know that you are lying.

Oops! Bubba’s off the leash again. They both seem intent on having their melt downs in public.
1) Who’s the they that are demanding she get out of the race? The two of them are the only ones I hear talking about it. Senator Obama keeps saying that she has every right to stay in.
2) As for treating a candidate disrespectfully, Bubba’s done a pretty good job of that on Senator Obama.
3) I see polls discussed every other night on the news. The results vary from state to state and night to night. She is not “winning the general election.” Even if she were, it’s May not November.
4) Gov. Patterson was right. This campaign is running on desperation.

With her disingenuous Daily News statement Hillary Clinton makes things worse. It makes you really wonder how she is wired. I really find something abnormal in her reaction.
But…..
I have faith in the fairness of the American people and that they will see through these lame attempts to justify her ghoulish statement by seemingly blaming those who in her view misunderstood her, failing to apologize AGAIN to anyone. She is pathologically incapable of admitting a mistake or giving a straight answer. She is just wired that way. As Bob Schieffer noted this morning on Face the Nation, her explanation via Daily News again fails to recognize on her part she did anything wrong. I watched her entire appearance before the editorial board of the S.Dakota newspaper, no just the clipping where she invokes RFK and the A word. It is evident she has no intention of quitting and that she has convinced herself that she must stay in the race because YOU NEVER KNOW….something could happen that could land her the nomination.
This is what blind ambition at any cost and a delusional personality look like. What a pathetic spectacle this downfall of the Clintons is becoming!

1) The fact that she hasn’t withdrawn now that OBAMA has a MAJORITY of pledged delegates is an indication that she wants the presidency for her own personal gain. She is NOT listening to the people.
2) Have we forgotten about the ‘Vast right-wing conspiracy’ that’s out to get the Clinton’s?

Wow, that contradicts every poll I have seen recently.
They look like they are grasping at any untruth to keep their head above water.
Either he is lying or just plain stupid.

kerry
they are just scared… and they should be who said the talk should be limited to eliminating just the candidate himself!

Bill would know. No candidate or POTUS has ever treated women and staff as disrespectfully and this ogre. Remember 43 people that worked on his campaign, donated to his campaign, or was part of his personal police escort, died in a 4 month period before or after his election. THAT IS A FACT

Neither Clinton nor Obama has nearly enough experience to even be considered for the Presidency. They are both media “flavors of the day”, chosen for special treatment because they were, oh wow, a “woman” and a “black”, look how “progressive” we are said the left wingnuts of the media. The real, experienced, truly good candidates of the Dem party were ignored by the media and never had a chance.
We’re voting for PRESIDENT, not American Idol. The media has gone nuts with their stupidity. We need to have a real Dem candidate facing McCain, who is a real, experienced, nuanced candidate for the Reps, so we can make a real choice.

To All: “PSYCHE!”.. the Kennedy/June Assassination gaffe was designed in order to gain a particular outcome, which is: more attention focused to her (poor Hillary, that is) by saying something crazy in order to draw more press coverage… The Clintons are very tactical and diabolical if need be. She had to due something for more press as she was fading to black.

Kerry,
It is not strange that Obama wants to talk to other world leaders. Look what we would have saved in lives and money if someone had talked with Saddam.
Saddam asked Bush to meet with him in an interview. He also agreed to allow the U.N. inspectors to reenter to search for the nonexistant WMD’s.
Did any of you know Kuwait was a part of Iraq until it was stolen from them?
We must respect our World Leaders whether they be friend or foe. This is the test of a real man and a real president.

President Clinton, please stop. It is becoming ever more difficult to read your comments; they sound ever more desperate. Please let your wife run — your time is over…and so, perhaps is your wife’s. She has an extremely valuable role to play in the Senate…and we need her there. It is time for her to step away and do her part to ensure that we have a Democrat in the White House in January 2009.

The media personal attacks on Hillary are unbelievable. Obama is a politician and not a good one, but the media have made a a big story out of him for thier own gain.

someone wrote: “Clinton Running Out of Money”
hello, this is the last week of primaries, she doesn’t need any more money.
Hillary ’08

The RIGHT one
You said it RIGHT.
I grew up in a country run by one of the great women leaders of our time, and now have lived 30+ years of my adult life in the USA. I started out as an ardent and excited supporter of Sen. Clinton, and was REALLY FEELING TO BE PROUD OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE with the thinking that finally we would elect a woman President, and show the world that our country has finally grew to the POLITICAL level of Margaret Thatcher’s Great Britain, Golda Myer’s Israel, Indira Gandi’s India (and now Sonia Gandhi – a foreign born Catholic in a nation of 80% Hindu population), Benazir Butto’s Pakistan and Bandara Naike’s Sri Lanka, just to mention a few. But soon I realized that Sen. Clinton does not come not even close to the stature of these great women leaders. To my little mind Sen. Clinton proved to be just an average female, who just happened to be at the right place at the right time, and that she also proved not worthy of being mentioned among the Presidents of this great country.
I am still feeling PROUD OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE because we may elect a black man as our next President.

Some recent polls:
Survey USA: Ohio—-Obama 48/McCain 39
Virginia—-Obama 49/McCain 42
California—-Obama 49/McCain 41
Pennsylvania—-Obama 48/McCain 40
Reuters/Zogby–General election:
Obama 48/McCain 40
Newsweek–National general election pref:
Obama 50/Clnton 42
Gallup 5/24 Obama 52/Clinton 44
Rasmussen–New Hampshire/ 5/23:
Obama 48/McCain 39

when ever Bill Clinton speaks negatively about the media, the media screams tha tClinton ‘blew up’

Bill Clinton is 100% right.
He, being the Smartest of the lot, knows, Obama will NEVER win in November.
Bill Clinton is trying his best not tolose this election to the Republicans.
Only people as smart as Bill Clinton get it.

Nobody reads anyone else’s posts, but I (in vain) am posting anyway.
If the media were against Hillary in the primaries, and were the cause of her election problems… then how will that change during the general election? It won’t. This argument is moot.
As for the Clinton supporters who will still vote Democratic in the fall regardless who wins the party nomination – I SAY PRESS ON, AND I HOPE YOUR CANDIDATE, SENATOR CLINTON, DOES WELL (I support Obama, because I think he’s the better Democrat, and I think the Republicans are wrong on too many issues to vote them back into power).
But for you Clinton supporters who will not vote for Obama, or will vote for McCain instead… and cite “real” issues like “McCain is a war hero”, “Obama needs to wait his turn”, or “No Hussein, vote for McCain”, or “blacks voted heavily for him”, or (my favorite) “his father is a Muslim and his sister is a budhist”…
Re-register. As. Republicans. Now. ANd have fun paying $6.00 by end of the year with no congresional action. And you older voters kiss your Social Security away. And you Pro-Choice voters… welcome to the end of Roe V. Wade when McCain starts appointing judges.
Yeah, but at least McCain is not black.

By the way, on wedge issues. Why did Barry Obama change his name to BARACK? Then of course there’s Wright’s church. Racist flip card at every turn….You gotta wonder about the plan?

Bill, Bill, Bill. Tsk, tsk. Dude, you need to go have your medication adjusted, because you have become just as delusional as your wife. Hillary has been treated with the utmost respect. When the press got tought on her, after she was caught telling lies after lie, she attaced them and got a six week loong cake walk, during which time, she fed them negative and spurious information about Sen. Obama and they ran it over multiple news cycles to appease her.
No one has asked your wife to exit early. They only started asking her to exit when it became apparent that she could no longer catch Obama without a brokered convention and splintering the party. And, consider this: she’s been running for president for almost two full years now. So, at what point does it cease being too early?
Look, Bill, I voted for you twice. I think you were the most effective president this county has had since FDR. You’re slippery, but effective. But your wife, while smart, is very different from you. Where you could sit down with poeple and pursuade them, Hillary only makes them mad. Many high ranking and experienced members of your own party knew from the start that Hillary had an uphill battle to fight simply because she is so divisive and hard headed. She would not make a good president.
Hillary lost not because of disrespect or mysogyny as your stratgists now have the both of you whining about. She lost because she was a poor candidate, who could not manage her campaign or her money. She made numerous stategic blunders nad surrounded herself with incompetent campaign managers, to which she gave reign. This is known a bad management and we don’t want for a president a candididate who makes so many blunders.
You are both in your 60s and it is time to GROW UP. You lost. Do so graciously and be Democrats instead of egoists.

I like to think of this way,
for all you supposed “democrats” who threaten to vote for McCain should Obama be the nominee, you just can’t find it in your racist, stereotypical, judgemental supposed “American” self to vote for the most qualified and honest candidate with true change just cause he’s black.
Fact: He will get the nomination and you all will be upset because “the nomination was stolen from Clinton”.
nothing was stolen, we voted for change, we want change and he is IT.
doesn’t matter if you stay home vote mccain , so long as 61% of this country is behind him, he will WIN. you can either get aboard the change train or be left behind.

bill clinton is right: if you give obama the nomination maccain will win the presidency
if you give the nomination to hillary she will win the presidency
so your hating on hillary is going to give you maccain
which would be poetic justice except for the fact that everyone is going to be affected by that result

According to every poll, Hillary has the highest unfavorable rating than any candidate.
Even her supporters agree that she’s persistently attacked Obama unfairly in this election. She even campaigned for Mccain at the expense of her democratic colleague, senator Obama.
Why won’t every right thinking person detest her – including the press? She gave herself a bad name and is now blaming the press. Is she not insane?

Bill wants all of us to be faithful to his wife. If he had done likewise, I might be more sympathetic, and feel his pain…

Bishop, excellent question; it’s because they are the same ones that sold Bush to the general public. Have you seen how giddy Campbell Brown is on CNN now that she gets to push McCAin. Just watch as the most ardent supporters for Obama on CNN and MSNBC reveal who their true candidate is. I’ve witnessed this since the ’80s and it’s weird how long it takes people to catch on to propaganda.

Hillary is a Republican Implant, thats why they want her to Win! Did ya forget, just a few months ago Hillary praised McCain on National T.V.

Benjain wrote: “There’s a reason why the pundits on the right tried to get republicans to vote for Hillary, because they know damned good and well Hillary didn’t stand a chance in the GE.”
“The Republicans” (being Rush Limbaugh) simply exhorted Republicans to vote for Hillary to extend the primary. However, exit polls showed that Republicans mostly voted for Obama.
Now, you can argue that they are inspired by him, and while I’m laughing about it, they see Obama as a wet dream for a complete 527 demolishing.
Obama doesn’t have a chance with real voters, those who actually care about Obama’s entire history of Marxist and Muslim corruption associations and a complete lack of any record to judge him on whatsoever.
I say skip the middle man and put Axelrod up fo president and Wright as VP. Oh wait, Axelrod doesn’t read a speech as well as Obama. Oh hell, let’s put a real speechmaker up for president, GD America Wright.
Hillary ’08

President Barack Obama. 2008 and 2012.
Extremely proud to be a part of this history making moment.
Yes we CAN!

Bill’s legacy in the White House was scandal. His legacy was handing both houses of Congress and the WH over to the Republicans. Despite this, he went on to achieve some measure of stature in the years since he left the presidency. And in just a few short months, he blew it. Wag your finger, turn red and purple, blow your dog whistle, blah, blah, blah…

someone brought up the rasmussen situation in which they refuse to post Hillary’s numbers. They stopped a long time ago. Ahhh! The freedom to choose is not allowed even among rasmussen; they just can’t stand freedom of choice.

WestCoastMessenger; Hi, I am glad to see you are still posting!

When Obama tripped for any reason, Hillary was out there ready to pile on with the rest of the media and point out how many “questions” it “raises.” When Hillary tripped, though Obama’s fans would get outraged, he would not. If it counts for anything that he has been very restrained in his tweaks on her mistakes, she hasn’t got a leg to stand on. Quit crying, Hillary. The women of America deserve better for a role model in how to survive a tight spot.

Looks like T————–
can’t take the truth about his beloved Clintons.

molly
better check which candidate is using dirty politics

Bill would never lie, So this garbage about Hillary must be true!

crazy, spoiled me using facts….

President Clinton is so right! Senator Clinton has been treated shabbily by the msm – but guess what? She is still standing – she is still the best candidate – and she will win the GE in November! Let’s see Chris Matthews get a tingle up his leg over that!! Get over yourselves Obama supporters!

The clintons have tried anything under the sun. They have cited poll after poll, and what have the Superdelegates done? Come out for Obama. Are the arguments working? Well, doesn’t look like. The superdelegates are politicians who understand that polls at this very early stage are just useless. In 1992 at this point, Ross Perot was beating Daddy Bush and Bill.
The Clintons were hoping for Obama to sink in the polls. They were hoping for Rev. Wrigth to doom Obama in North Carolina and Indiana. That was the day when they lost the nomination once for all. Just by looking at Bill’s face you could tell.
They had dreamed of pulling an upset in North Carolina, or at least make it close, and winning double digits in Indiana. You could see on Bill’s face that winning Indiana by less than 15,000 votes out of more than 1,000,000 was not the kind of showing they were looking for. They lost and we won!!! We the people said: Down with the monarchy!
No more Bushes; No more Clintons. I don’t mind who wins in Nov. We already won when the Clintons lost.

It’s obvious the Clinton’s continue to have entitlement issues when it comes to politics.
Life will go on as usual for the rest of America with or without the Clinton’s in the White House. No sleep lost here.

Once voters realized that “Obama would be the nominee”, his support within most demographic categories declined, and declined significantly in most cases. Obama’s support declined overall by 2.3%
· Obama’s support among men declined by 2%,
· Obama’s support declined among women by 1.2%,
· Obama’s support declined among White voters by 4.8%,
· Obama’s support declined among Hispanic/Latino voters by 3.2%,
· Obama’s support declined among White males by 6.7%, and
· Obama’s support declined among White females by 3.6%.

GO HILLARY! WE LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR FIGHTING ALL THE WAY. THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN ARE THE ONES THAT ARE LOW CLASS AND PATHETIC INDIVIDUALS. THEY BRING UP YOUR REFERENCE ABOUT RFK AS THAT IS NOT ISSUE THAT IS OF CONCERN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. ONCE AGAIN, THEY HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. GO ALL THE WAY HILLARY CLINTON. YOU WILL WIN THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT AND YOU WILL BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES THIS COMING JANUARY 2009. HILLARY!…HILLARY! ….HILLARY!
GOD BLESS YOU! YOU ARE A BLESSING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE LOVE YOU!

Clinton Supporters,
She has every right to stay in the game. but please once and only once tell us what are the game rules. Is it the deligates, popular votes, number of states, … . It is not fair that when you are ahead in something, you calaim it as a criteria.
For florida and Michigan, please be fair. if you tell the story to a 7 years old kid and ask about judgment you will see the truth. a 7 years old kid is not an obama supporter. Two people agreed not runnung on two states, one of them didn’t even puts his name on the ballot in the one of thoes state which voted simbolically. Suddenly one of the candidates who is losing by the way according the rules agreed long time before asks for the symbolic votes. If you have a kid at home please just tell the story and see the reaction.
She has all the rights to stay in the game but she should respect the rules like others and be fair.
Do I look angay and insulting ?

Anarchyjack, trenches?
What do you know about trenches?
Are you formenting revolution in Latin America lately?
Or are your devoting all of your revolutionary efforts in helping Obama bring socialism to America?

Attack them if you want to…the attacks haven’t stopped since the beginning…irregardless she has won more of the popular vote…she is leading McCain in state-by-state match ups in swing states NEITHER ONE OF THESE CANDIDATES CAN WIN WITHOUT THE SUPERDELEGATES…
FL and MI are being cut out of the much touted 50 state strategy of Howard Dean.
The fact remains that regardless of whether Hillary’s supporters mention it or not there has been a relentless attack from the Obama campaign and the media….
I think it’s pretty hypocritical for his campaign to continue all these negative attacks against Hillary and the people that continue to vote for her….while the candidate Obama continues to disagree with all the trash his campaign puts out…for instance their memos that painted both Clintons and Ferrarro as rasists…their continued implications that her voters are ignorant or too old to be seriously considered… And now i suppose any reference to the Kennedys by the Clintons will be considered a threat,,,Why are Obama’s continued references to the Kennedy’s not considered the same?
I will never vote for this guy…

@USMarine: You should really be ashamed of yourself to post as a Marine and then go about spewing nonsense, fear and hate like “Don’t help America’s enemies get what they want”. You do not write like anyone in the military I have ever met or known. That kind of B.S. only seems to come from George Bush and his cronies.

Way to tell it Bill! He spoke the truth. She’s been trashed in the media and trashed by the Obama campaign. Well, they wouldn’t be trashing her if they weren’t scared of her.
The reason they are scared of her is because she will win the general election and they are trying to get her to quit before the primaries are over.
She’s not quitting, her supporters aren’t quitting and she’s going to win! She is the most qualified and experienced candidate and she has won the most popular votes. She will win the electoral votes in the general election and she will be Madame President!

because I love my child and I am very overprotective of him, I cannot in good conscience support anyone other than Senator Clinton for President….

the more i read posts by obama’s apparent “supporters”, the more convinced I am that he is a one-trick pony that has many ignorant and naive people tricked into believing his greatest lie: he’s about “change”….

I despair for our country given the over the top, uncivil discourse, bizarre reasoning, name calling–on every side of the issues. I wonder if historians in fifty years will look back and say that America had somehow turned a corner into unreason, hatred, villification of the Other. I haven’t read every post…just the first fifty or so. I assume they continue in the same sad tone. Just because you can say something doesn’t mean you should.

It’s been great talking to radical left-wingers, like Anarchyjack, who support Obama.
However, I must leave now.
Hillary, keep fighting!
We need you to save the Democratic Party and America from being taken over by anarchists, socialists, and other radical left-wingers!!!

This primary just underscores the problems with the Democratic Party and the candidates. As an Independent I’ve been unhappy with the spending from the Bush administration and was hoping for more from the Democrats this year. The media coverage *is* insanely biased, but anyone with any legitimate knowledge of politics can trace most major media outlets back to liberal money. Hillary *has* been portrayed poorly by the media–yet one could respond with her lies about Tuzla, among others. My response simply points to Obama’s lies about Jeremiah Wright: he’s quoted some time ago stating that he goes to his pastor even for political advice, then the ugly sermons come out, then Obama says he’d never heard Wright say those things, then he says he “may have said some controversial statements” but that Wright isn’t a political advisor, then Wright tells the world that Obama was disappointed in his sermons simply for political reasons, then *finally* Obama supposedly drops his friend and pastor to stop the bleeding. Meanwhile, Oprah states she left the church long ago because of Wright’s sermons, and we find out that Obama’s been reading Wright’s message of hate the entire 20 years in the Trumpet. McCain sought the endorsement of what he thought was a good evangelical, only to find out that he’s also a hate-monger and proceeded to drop him. Hagee was never McCain’s pastor or friend, and McCain did what Obama should have done 20 years ago.
Chalking Obama’s many mistakes to stress on the campaign doesn’t make him look any more presidential. He thought 10,000 people died in a Kansas tornado. He thinks there are 57 or so states in America. He repeatedly had no idea what city he was speaking in, confusing Sioux Falls and Sioux City, then Sunrise and Sunshine, FL. He wants to raise capital gains taxes so you get to keep less of what you’re trying to invest in your retirement. He wants to have direct talks with terrorists, first saying without preconditions and then saying he never said that–even though it’s still on his website–but now adding with “preparations”, effectively taking Bush’s stance on Iran.
Moral of the story? To the educated eye, Obama is a moron. If his campaign of lies and distortions win him the White House it will show how ignorant this country really is. Next time Dems, put up some better candidates with at least a *little* experience.
Shameful.

I think the Clinton’s need to accept defeat and lobby for a better political position within his party instead of crying like a baby, No body is too big they must have learned from their mistakes. Again I must say that Obama is a very good candidate considering the situation of the country at this moment, I think we need some brake may be these war lovers will come back after 8 years of Obama but give us a brake now we don’t need this war to continue.
Law
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How come no one in the HRC fan base can see she just wants you to send in money to her campain?…She wants to repay the debt amdn most of all repay herself then drop out. she is not looking out for you…see NAFTA….I will do anything to win I cannot manage my campain why is every one picking on me…rebel, rebel…..it is because I am a women that is why!….NOT! go ahead and vote for McCain and you will get 4 more years of Bush

Clinton completely blew whatever dim, astronomical, vague chance she had at catching up to huge Obama’s delegate lead when she vaguely threatened that he would be assassinated like Bobby Kennedy. It is just completely hard to fathom how desperate and clueless her threat was, let alone that it represented a complete lack of judgement that tells us she would make a terrible President. Her candidacy is over, and every second she spends forcing the issue otherwise is a second towards destroying the Democratic party’s chances in November. But it is clear she cares nothing about the party, and only cares about her selfish career.

US Marine (yeah right) said, “We need you to save the Democratic Party and America from being taken over by anarchists, socialists, and other radical left-wingers!”
Oh STOP IT, “US Marine”. You sound a lot more like Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh than a US Marine. You know, you Republicans should at least try to modify your talking points so that when you pretend to be a Democrat you at least SOUND like a sensible Democrat, and not like a right-wing extremist nut!

Please someone tell them to GO HOME!!!
Come back another day without blaming the world—PLEASE
Judy

Even with Bill Clinton in her corner its almost too late. The media has just about assured that the wrong person will elected our president. McCain or Obama. Both the wrong choice.. Its a shame; this country deserves better.

IslandGirl said, “There is NO chance that hillary will EVER be VP after her latest smear attempt on Obama!”
I agree.
Why would Obama want to weaken his Presidential position by A) picking his rival opponent as his running mate, and B) picking as his running mate the person (i.e. Clinton) who embarrassed him a month ago by suggesting the he, the delegate leader, should be the VP under HER (who was well behind Obama in delegate count). Obama would be a fool to pick his opponent Clinton as his running mate. He would be the laughing stock of politics. Not only that, but Obama can do much better than Clinton as his VP.
Furthermore, Clinton completely blew whatever dim, astronomical, vague chance she had at catching up to huge Obama’s delegate lead when she vaguely threatened that he would be assassinated like Bobby Kennedy. It is just completely hard to fathom how desperate and clueless her threat was, let alone that it represented a complete lack of judgement that tells us she would make a terrible President. Her candidacy is over, and every second she spends forcing the issue otherwise is a second towards destroying the Democratic party’s chances in November. But it is clear she cares nothing about the party, and only cares about her selfish career.

Bill Clinton is 100% Correct. Electoral College maps right now show Hillary Clinton beating McCain. Hillary Clinton Picks up Ohio, Florida, Arkansas, and West Virginia. At the same time,if you look at the Electoral Map as McCain VS. Obama, McCain beats Obama hands down. McCain wins Florida, Ohio, West Virginia. Anyone who thinks that Obama is the stronger candidate against McCain, is just wrong, period. If Obama can’t win states like Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, how is he going to win the General Election? Its starting to feel like 2004 all over again.

The ONLY reason Hillary Clinton is where she is is because she is Ex President Bill Clinton’s wife. Some how the Clinton’s got the idea it was her right to be President. This is not happening and we are seeing how wicked they are. I am a New York Republican voting for Obama but not if Hillary on the ticket. Then I will vote for McCain.

Kevin says….
“go ahead and vote for McCain and you will get 4 more years of Bush”
What fool would want this? Oh thats right the UNEDUCATED hillary supporters!!!
YES WE CAN
Obama 08′

SayWhat….I could not agree with you more!…..and yes to whom read this I have a 4 year degree and make more than 50K

It is so sad, that the Media,and Obama followers, fail to see that their candidate has been sliding downwards in the polls since February. Getting to know him, is obviously not always a good thing for Obama. As more and more people, see his failings, his popularity is dipping. So, what does the media do? They keep propping him up. Putting non-stories on their newscasts, i.e., RFK statement, than the real stories, i.e., Obama’s going down in the polls. Thank you Bill, for pointing out the media bias for Obama, as usual.

It is too bad that you Hillary people would vote for McCain just out of spite. I guess you shouldn’t vote at all if that’s your reasoning. Hope you come around when the dust settles and just go do the right thing.

Think…
I agree with everything that you wrote!!
You are a Thinker! :)

You have to believe Bill because he knows a lot about disrespect. He disrespected the Presidency of the United States of America in every way possible.
Thank God Hillary doesn’t have a fraction of the charm Bill did. We dodged a bullet.
This is America not a monarchy for the Bush and Clinton families.

What a bunch of uninformed, hateful, jealous LOSERS!
Typical Democrats I suppose …
Take a look at Hillary and see how a winner looks and behaves – seems like Democrats linger in the dark about this thing called “winning”!
By the way, could any of you dingbats see a President Hillary/VP Obama ticket is the ONLY WAY both could fit comfortably on a ticket? Ever hear of corporate discrimination? That’s when the older, wiser, more competent FEMALE is instructed to train the newcomer, inexperienced, younger handsome MALE to be her BOSS!
The idea of Hillary as VP to Obama as Pres sets my nerves on edge. Perhaps one of you brains wants to describe the reasoning for making Obama President with Hillary as VP?
Hillary Clinton has handled herself so well in this difficult situation she has even earned the respect of some of the right sided talk show hosts. I hate to admit this but one thing Republicans do much better than Democrats do is WIN. Democrats are preoccupied with “looking good” and doing the “right thing”. Republicans do what they must do to win.
Didn’t the last two Democratic Presidential failures withdraw as requested “for the good of the country”?
Now the same idiots tell Hillary she must withdraw “for the good of the party”. How easily you all forget what it was we all liked about Bill Clinton – We liked that he was not afraid to stand up for himself, even to the dreaded Republicans. Now we criticize Hillary for doing the same thing? Only her opponent is not yet the Republicans – it is only another Democrat, who looks worse every time he or his supporters beg her to withdraw.
WHY SHOULD SHE? The race is almost tied; if all the votes were counted she would be winning the popular vote; she IS leading the electoral college vote. The latest polls have Clinton easily beating McCain; Obama not so – he is losing to McCain in most of the same polls.
Don’t forget how all of you are too happy to ignore the last two primary elections where Hillary beat the pants off your Magic Man – by 41 points and then by 36 points. I wonder how unimportant these totals would have been if they belonged to Obama and not to Hillary?
I assume this site is populated by Obama-maniacs because of the absence of substance to any arguments against Hillary. Instead there are the same empty and groundless personal attacks and insinuations used regularly by losers who cannot quote facts to back up their bigoted preferences.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I wish I could blame Bush on you too, but being dyed-in-the-wool losers will have to suffice for now.

Are the Clintons TRYING to destroy the party? It’s time for the supers to end this, before the Clintons destroy our chances in Nov. They are NOT entitled to lose this for us! there’s too much at stake!

Senator Clinton has been treated disrespectfully by the press. She is a two-time elected Senator with over 65 percent of the vote. She is also a former first lady. You many not agree with her policies, or her politics, but the attacks by the media are way over the top calling her a bitch and so forth.
Yes try reading the bible and then accuse Hilary of being a liar.
It was Senator Obama, who calls everyone a racist who doesn’t support him. Talk about transcending race. Senator Obama is simply not qualified for the position and calling people racist isn’t going to give the experience necessary for the job. If 20 percent of the white population said race was a factor that would mean 80 percent don’t. With a 95 percent support from the AA community who by the way are never asked if race was a factor in their decision, those numbers I would be interested in knowing.
This type of thinking reflects something beyond Senator Clinton.

Carley–
You nailed it, the super delegates will be the one’s deciding this.
The writing is on the wall. Hillary was toast last week. Now she is burned toast. You don’t invoke the idea of assassination in politics.
The silver lining of her latest comments is that she will not be on the ticket as VP either.

Its funny how people mention that Hillary’s campaign is in debt as if it is some kind of good argument.
What’s so darn funny about it is that the guy with all the money keeps losing by huge deficits in states like WV & KY, while his opponent has no money.
Obama outspent her 5 to 1 in PA and lost!!!
You can’t buy the voters, Obama, and that’s why he’ll lose. He can run all the commercials he wants and spend millions upon millions filling the media’s coffers while doing it, but he just can’t seem to close the deal, can he?

I will NEVER vote for Hillary, She is a snake, I dont trust her a little!
I have been voting Democrat for over 30 years, If Hillary steals the nomination from Obama, I will be voting Republican for the first time!!!
Obama or no one!

Barack Hussien Obama is completely unfit to be VP. Hillary, please dont even think about it.

The republicans are there for the taking any democrat should be able to defeat them. It’s true Obama may not win the GE but primarily because of these two factors: RACISM and HILLARY’S EXTENDED CAMPAIGN. But I know for certain Hilary will NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF AMERICA. NEVER EVER! Obama ’08

Bill’s right on the money. And with the RFK assassination slur against Hillary, the Obama campaign pounced on it, used it for maximum effect, even emailed a keith olbermann attack piece on it to the media on Saturday. And then Obama comes out and says: “I take Hillary at her word that she meant nothing by it.” This is the way Obama always plays these things, viciously attacking Hillary through surrogates and the media and then slyly saying there’s nothing there. The whole affair was disgusting. And anyone who thinks Hillary was linking RFK’s assassination to a possible attempt on her rival should vote for Obama, after they see a therapist. If you want someone who would exploit a reference to the timing of RFK’s assasination for political gain, vote Obama, he’s your champion.

The big story of the 2008 Democratic Primary is not going to be that Obama is the nominee — the big story is going to be how HUBRIS doomed the frontrunner. HUBRIS, Mr. President, is what derailed the Hillary Clinton for President train. It’s like this, President Clinton: you and your wife are so proud that you cannot see reality. And it is ironic that, despite efforts earlier in the primary season to push YOU out the door and to allow Hilly Clinton to speak for herself — it is ironic that it is Hillary Clinton’s own actions and words that are ending her campaign. But like with all proud people who have a sense of entitlement, you and HC continue to look for excuses about why you can’t wrest this nomination away from Obama. The truth, President Clinton, is that the Clinton era is over. You are the past. You are the 1990s. You have surrounded yourselves with YES MEN who have a vested interest in continuing this campaign, but the truth is that Clinton Fatigue has been a problem since at least last fall; otherwise, HC could have sewed up the nomination back then. That she didn’t is testimony to the pride that always comes before a downfall: the inability of either you or your wife to understand that the situation had changed and to adjust accordingly. Now, you are left to wring your hands and wonder “What Happened?” Surely, you believe, someone must be blamed for this. The truth is that — just like MacBeth was responsible for his own actions — HC and you are responsible for your own failings. It is your inability to recognize your failings that is the most ironic of all. BECAUSE IF HC WOULD HAVE EXITED STAGE LEFT AFTER KENTUCKY, she would have left the race a WINNER. She could have been VP. She could have been a Supreme Court Justice. Now, she is simply a has-been. Like a party guest who just doesn’t know when to leave, HC is the person being shoved out the door after outstaying her welcome. And she will carry this shame with her — and your own legacy will suffer as well. You two just don’t seem to understand that the harder you push, the more you push others away. All of your friends that have been encouraging you since March are doing so out of a sense of responsibility. They are doing it out of friendship. And they are doing this because they can’t bring themselves to be cruel to be kind. They don’t want to hurt your feelings by telling you it’s over; they’re hoping your smart enough to figure that out on your own. But your PRIDE prevents you from understanding this fact, and so you two stay on, continuing to fight, even though the contest is already over. And every day that you grow more and more desperate, you make more and more mistakes — like the gaffe about RFK’s assassination. No one is pushing HC out of the race. It’s just that everyone but you recognizes that it’s over. It’s ironic that with all your political know-how, you can’t understand that fact. PRIDE, President Clinton — HUBRIS — is your downfall. And the entire political community is now willing to let you play out this Shakespearean tragedy because they know that in the end you will have to go home. Wake up; you’re sacrificing your legacy and all that it entails. After 2008, no one wants the Clintons anymore.

Jessica–
Your arguments are about 30 years too late.
Clinton does not “deserve” anything, nor has she “earned” anything because she is female. People earn through merit not gender. Wake up and smell the new millennium. It isn’t the ’70s and the smoke from the burning bras cleared a long time ago.
She is losing because she failed to understand the rules of the game. Regardless of whether the rules are stupid (and they are), those were the rules she agreed to play by.
It does feminism no good to whine and cry after you fail.

Obama should be ashamed of himself. It is Memorial Day Weekend and in the Wesleyan Commencement Address Obama gave in Connecticut, I did not hear one word of thanks by Obama for the service of the United States Veterans and those lost fighting for our freedom. I fear for our Nation if a man such as Obama is elected to the highest office of our land. A man who is so ungrateful for the service and lives given by our brave armed service men and women who keep the peace and protect us all here at home.

For god sakes, let the lady do her job to run in this race ,there are more important thing’s to address, Is mr O scarde she might get in,,,, .I hope she does, Shr has every right to run till the end…… I’m for Hillary.keep going

JOHN CUMMINGS… I respect your love for this country. As an immigrant my self let me tell you that the love I have for this nation is unmeasurable. However, that same love for America has to force you to see things for what they are. When Hillary began her campaign I too voted for her because I liked what the Clinton’s had brought to our country. Recently though, the Clinton’s have unveiled a dark side of them that has made me crinch at the idea of them moving back into the White House. For the most part Hillary stands up for the same people Barack stands up for. The difference is on the way they run their campaign… this tells us on their principles and values. As a responsible American I urge you to research both candidates and see for yourself why more and more Americans have switched their support from Hillary and McCain to Barack Obama. If you want “meat” or substance read Barack Obama’s “Blue Print for America” and “Issues” on his website. Do not be lazy and regurgitate what Hillary supporters mindlessly say to attack Obama. Obama 08

BILL!
YOU AND HILLARY BOTH NEED A VACATION!
I thought he was maintaining his grasp on reality and would help bring her down.
I guess not.

Obama has accomplished NOTHING to earn him this symbolic anointment by the MSM. Hillary has every right to fight to the end. I hope the Democrats in Michigan and Florida sue the DNC for all it has!

I have never seen such a naked, unapologetic disdain for the democratic process. At every turn throughout this campaign, the Clintons have insisted on unilaterally re-defining what the metrics are for victory, called those who support their opponent ‘Judas’, whined about the treatment Hillary is getting by America, and now are blaming Democrats for her failure to win the nomination. Summed up: What sore losers the Clintons are.

Some thoughts about the Clintons:
Hillary meant no harm and indeed didn’t even imply harm to Obama with her RFK comments on Friday. The stories in the media were simply incorrect. She was wronged…..OR….was she?? Please read on.
While the news media acted incorrectly like hungry piranhas who printed and said what they said, not out of any interest in precision, but out of an interest for competition for readership…..we can ask ourselves….Did not the media do to the Clintons what the Clintons have done to their opponents and the media and the American electorate, throughout not only this Primary cycle, but indeed, for Bill’s Presidential years as well. The answer is an unequivocal YES. We all have seen the times when minor news items broke about Obama (as it does countless times in a day or week), and then a cut to Hillary deriding Obama for the behavior ad-nauseum. She does so in a predictable manner, no matter the magnitude of the particular offense. To the Clintons, this is simply Politics…it’s their way, if you will. But to Obama, this is the old way of Politics which he says he wants to change. The media appears to agree and as such, they appeared complicit in delivering to the American public a story about RFK which was just as truthful (or as untruthful) as many, many stories/takes delivered by the Clintons. We all know the old saying concerning this matter….You Reap what you Sow. The Clintons are reaping exactly what they have become expertly adept at sowing here. So…Bill really has no complaint whatsoever.
Should we be worried that the media appears to have been just as unobjective as the Clintons usually are??? Maybe…. Although I chuck this up to them finally giving the Clintons their up-and-comings.
On a different matter, it is quite wrong to imply/suggest that Hillary’s staying on with the fight is justified by her not being a so-called quitter. It’s one thing to stay in a fight that you have some chance to win and not quit…It’s quite another thing to stay in a fight well beyond your time when it is quite apparent that you are quite literally a LOSER. Hillary quite simply has become the guest who stayed too late at the party and turned into a drunk that everyone wants gone.
Hillary WILL go all the way to the convention. She will do this for many reasons. Some of which will be an insistence that many of her (and Bill’s) people get certain posts in an Obama Administration. Perhaps other negotiations such as just what a health-care bill should/should not include. Her potential wish-list could be endless.

obviously Carley is lumped in with my above comment since she is also delusional…

The simple truth is, had Saddam adhered to UN resolution 1441 the US would not have invaded Iraq. Documents secured from Saddam now show that Saddam had every intention of restarting his WMD program as he did not think the US would invade him. So sooner or later, the world would have had to face up to the immediate threat Saddam posed to the world. Post 9/11, the US decided it would not wait and be attacked by a known enemy of the West . An enemy who cheered 9/11 , provided aid to Hamas , and who every intelligence agency reported had WMDs. Thus Iraq was invaded. It should be noted that if Obama had gotten his way, and Saddam was still in power the US and the West would be dealing with TWO MAJOR Middle Eastern Nations intent on developing or already in possession of nuclear weapons!!! The facts on the ground now in Iraq are that Al Qaeda is there and if the USA retreats and turns Iraq over to them, Al Qaeda will have access to Iraq’s large oil reserves and thus the means and opportunity to attack us and attack us hard. Our Middle Eastern allies may loose faith in our good word and abandon us and hook up with Al Queda, not to mention the boost a withdrawal from Iraq will give to Iran, Syria and Hamas. Think WWIII, A lot of people on these posts scoff at the threat Al Qaeda and the rest of their ilk poses to the security of the US and future of the Western World. I say stop thinking the worse of America and save a little of your vitriol for our true enemies who want to kill us all. If Obama is elected his defeatist policies will put us all at more risk of another 9/11 attack and even worse the blow up the middle east which will mean more will die, just like what happened in WWII when people thought Hitler could be appeased and were wrong, very wrong. Whats more, the killing fields of cambodia could be played out again in Iraq by Al Qaeda, Only this time the people murdered could be the very people that risked their lives to support the US. Question, if Obama wins,can you sleep well at night if you get what you want and this happens? I hope not.

Obama 08′

Mathew;
America will always be more complex as time moves on. The Industrial Revolution was probably seen as the most complex time in American history. But we still elected career politicians into the White House who managed to put the American brand into shame. Your argument does not hold water. If what you are saying is correct then the Bible should be considered obsalete because it’s teachings do not apply to our “complex” world. The thoughts of Aristotle, or Plato should then be tossed out the window because we NOW live in a more “complex” world. Keep this in mind… situations might change but the human factor remains constant. History is a great indicator to see the path that we are headed on. And history has proven that great experience in politics does not mean they will be up to the challenge when it comes to the presidency… just ask Woodrow Wilson. Or Mr. “Dikk” Nixon. But again, if you believe that a career politician who has shown her true colors will be a great president then I would suggest that you pay closer attention to political history.

Bill Clinton is absolutely correct. Every poll has HRC winning over McCain in the GE and Obama losing to McCain. In match-ups between Clinton and Obama, Obama has been losing in most demographics. HRC is winning huge victories in key swing states and wins in most of the must-need states in the GE…so, why is the Democratic Party trying to force HRC out and quick to declare the candidate who is behind in the polls their nominee? This is an intellectual question, not an emotional one. Answer for yourselves.

This election season has been very interesting.
It’s amazing how Hillary supporters believe that Obama is elitist, untrustworthy, and a liar.
It’s amazing how Obama supporters believe the Clintons are elitist, untrustworthy, and liars.
Hillary’s supporters believe that Obama has run a negative campaign and that the media is sexist which is hurting the vote (even though the majority of people in the country are female.)
Obama supporters believe the Clintons have run a negative campaign and that there are too many racial bigots in the country who are falling victim to fear mongering.
I was formerly a Clinton supporter…but watching them over the last few months and researching Bill’s presidency and the scandals and mysterious deaths of people around their administration has me praying that they never make it back into the White House.

If Obama wanted to win he should never have run against Hillary Clinton. She is the strongest person for the job and has too many people behind her that will never back down. Obama you should have waited (oh and gotten rid of Rev. Wright a long time ago).

She’s “winning the general election”, the general election hasn’t happened yet. And you have to win the primary before you can win the general, you don’t get to skip it. If anything, skipping the primary process is pushing Obama out, not the other way around.
And looking at polls when Republicans have completely ignored your campaign is utterly irrelevant. If she were the nominee, the gloves would come off in a big way. And “threatening to vote for McCain if she loses” won’t work when she’s running against McCain.

No matter how many paid Obama bloggers come on here to discredit Clinton, my mind is already made up and will not change. To any that say they voted for Clinton or supported her and changed their minds they have to be nuts. The longer this campaign goes on the more of a champion I am of Clinton. I have wanted her to run for President in the first place. She has proven to be the best one to be President. Obama has told so many lies and there are many more to come. He is is unelectable. Get educated on Obama. Many of these young college students voting are voting for the first time. They are busy with college and not interested in the facts. Not all are that way, but many are. The ones that just want to be on the bandwagon of a winner are airheads and are unaware of his characteristics and the danger Obama would be for this country. These are extremely serious times and it is not a time to gamble with this country. If we had a strong economy we might be able to survive 4 years and then get him out of office. If we weren’t engaged in a serious mess in Iraq with oil and terrorists, we might survive 4 years. This is not a time to gamble!!! Why would anyone not realize that. We know that we had a wonderful economy with the Clinton administration. We know that they love this country. We know that the country had a huge deficit and that Bill Clinton left with a surplus. We know that they are not muslims or radicals. Even Obama’s Pastor is a radical. Rezko is on trial that is real folks. Obama was friends with him for 17 years. William Ayers and his wife are radicals. Obama wants to meet with radicals. Radicals are backing him and trying to get him elected. They are salivating hoping he makes it. Hamas can’t wait. Why if you love America would anyone AMERICAN be willing to take the risk? Because OBAMA uses the words HOPE and CHANGE??? Anyone and many have said those words and nothing was changed. Obama says he wants to do things diofferent in Washington. That is a laugh. Why was he consorting with Rezko to cheat the Teachers Retirement Fund??? Why is he taking money from big oil??? Why does his mentor hate America??? Why does his wife hate America??? These people are too close to him for him not to have the same beliefs. Stop and think before you destroy this country. NO OBAMA!!!! The Obama paid bloggers can say whatever they like. They are voting by color. The colors I vote for are RED WHITE AND BLUE!!!

SO HAPPY ABOUT TOAST-
Go back to your toast, obviously you have nothing better to do either.
Has the Messiah blessed your toast? For your sake, I hope so.

@ Hillary 2012
I am with you 100%

Time to rap this pity party up and go home Bill.

Sam, I agreed. One day in the future, one Black man and many followers will be the US President but not Obama in this century. He has lost the chance to bid the high job not because of he is too black or too white but because he is too green beside a not very clear resume and run against a well public support Hillary Clinton as a very bad manner.

On the home page of ABC news the top story says “Bill blows up”
But in the article it says he calmly stated his position and was subdued as he talked to the crowd.
obamamedia is in control.
This is an example of the subtle way that the obamamedia has been covering the primaries.
Another story today is that barryo says that Clinton is in Florida “stirring up controversy”. But when he was there earlier this week for 3 days he was campaigning.
See the difference in the reporting?
Why was he campaigning? He doesn’t have the nomination yet………
Because he was campaigning for the delegates because he is worried Clinton will get them.
And one more point………
yeah Clinton messed up with the reference to the Kennedy’s…….
But when barryo was asked about it he said it was ok, she was tired, been a long campaign………
Obamamedia at it again, boy ain’t he the greatest? What a swell guy? He’s got class, don’t he?

Anarchyjack, I got news for you; that is, I’m a long time Democrat.
However, being a Democrat doesn’t mean that I will join with an anarchist, like you, and help Obama bring socialism to America.
Most Mainstream Democrats are not radical or left-wing.
However, Obama is, which is why he liked listening to Radical Left-Wing Pastor Jeremiah Wright’s anti-American and racist sermons for 20 years.
Bill Clinton is right!
It is appalling to see how disrespectfully that radical left-wing Obama supporters, like you, have treated Hillary.
Your disrespectful remarks is your undoing.
I bet even gay and female Obama supporters disapprove of your gay and sexist smears.

I admire Hillary’s tenacity and faith in her abilities to lead this Nation. I also understand the concern she and her supporters have with Obama’s qualifications to lead this great Nation. Obama has clearly played a lot of dirty politics against Hillary including using the race card against her. Obama’s numerous gaffes and thin resume have been ignored by the media while any gaffe made by Hillary has been played up to the hilt. I just hope the public wakes up and realizes before it is too late that Obama is bad news for (not only the Democratic Party) but for the Nation as a whole. Obama will be the ruin of us all. If you want an end of America, Vote Obama.

Brooke–
I said it before. There is no God, i.e., there is no messiah.
I vote based on policy, not based on genitalia.
I’m not asking you to vote on genetalia, but maybe you should look at the person too. Just give it a thought.
I’m from Pennsylvania. I’m one of those people Obama called “Bitter”. How am I supposed to not be offended by that? I’m also Jewish and he has repeatedly thrown us under the bus. But I’m supposed to just “suck it up”? I don’t think so.

Comparing his arrogance with other former Presidents’, his is way over the top.

It’s time for a ‘Two Party Solution’
Split the Democratics into the left
and Left of left. Mrs. Clinton gets
the “realists” while Obama gets his
Hopers. You guys could always join up on occasion if need be, like authorizing
military action for instance.

bhrandon,
Duh, I know this is the United States of America! That’s why I said “Calling all Americans”
First of all, I never said anything about being a good person or being religious. I said we need to allow God through man to run this country and allow him back in the School System, which is why everything is so chaotic. I never said anything about “Religion” which is completely different. God looks on the heart of man and his intentions not on the good works that man performs. Some of the “Christians “that you know may be trying to please God with their good works instead of their hearts. Another reason why many Christians are not leading a productive walk is because they try to do what only God can do and they make themselves look bad. This is why they are probably so screwed up as you have said. And by the way I don’t want religion in our schools either, I want God. He is the only way, the truth and the Light. If you don’t want Him now, you’ll wish you had Him later, because adversity strikes all of us and things in this life time are going to get worst if people don’t turn to Jesus. People will know and see that God is real; I just hope that it’s not too late. I will be praying for you, bhrandon, Thanks!
To the rest of my fellow Americans, Love conquerors a multitude of sins!

Hey Bill, I’ve got two words for you: Pat Buchanan

I’ve said it before- if we have another run of republican rule, my daily life will not be that affected. I do feel for the people who will suffer. But I will not bring myself to vote for an anti-American, anti-white, arrogant, shady, totally undeserving person like Obama.

The nominating process is a mess. Every voter in every state should have equal influence in voting their choice. The process isn’t over —- so why should anyone be pressured to quit? There are still voters who have not exercised their right. Our deomcratic principles in relation to this process are being trampled by the DRC. What a shame? We’re no better than countries with ‘fixed elections’.

Everyone who is a Democrat should do research on whoever it is that you are supporting. I am a Democrat and would have gladly voted for Clinton or Obama either one. Saying that I know all about Clinton. But Obama I have had to research him and I have found out some things about him that are very disturbing and now I could never vote for Obama because not of heresy’s but according to the truth. If we love our country we should not support Obama. A lot of people are supporting Obama and do not even know what he is about except he can give pretty speeches. Some are voting for him because his skin is Black. If all the Obama supporters would take the time and research Obama I do think that you would not support him very much longer. This is why I am voting Republican for President for the first time in my life. The media or most of them and the far left Democrats are going to vote for Obama no matter what. I do think that a majority of Americans will see through Obama and send him back to Chicago.

al213 Obama’s policies he is promoting are for children like you who need a parent to take care of them and tell you what to do.
(1) Reduce our freedom and raise our taxes “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said. “That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.” — Barack Obama
(2) Endanger our sovereignty
Obama’s bill S2433 would require the U.S. to initially direct .7percent of our GNP into the United Nations coffers for distribution asthey see fit, for “food” to third world nations. Under earlier agreements this would evolve into a national tax on the U.S. with theUN attempting to levy this on all first world nations.The U.N. would have the power to increase this rate of taxation.The U.S. would be required to surrender some of its sovereignty over foreign aid by putting it under UN control.
(3) Intentionally and dramatically weakening the United States military in an increasingly dangerous world.:These are Barack Obama’s own statements below:”First, I’ll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I’m the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.I will not weaponize space.I will slow our development of future combat systems.And I will institute an independent “Defense Priorities Board” to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production
(4) Increase Disunity: Obama’s words: “White folks greed runs a world in need” plus Obama’s association with: Rev. Wright “God D### America”, Rev. Meeks, Bill Ayers, Raila Odinga* Rabidly anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi., etc.
Obama has the mind Obama feels that all the US has to do to stay safe in the world is to talk, without preconditions, to heads of governments that hate our guts.Obama’s foreign policy in a nut shell: “Talk is precious, action is cheap.”Obama is a very, very dangerous man. America must remain strong militarily. Period or rue the day.

Obama sits in a hateful, delusional, racist church, and boasts of spending 20 years as a member of such environment.
Defense: “you took it out of context”
Compare that to Hillary making a comment about in past years primaries running until June: the Obama campaign can’t wait to come out and twist her words around OUT OF CONTEXT in order to divide the party and smear her. This man is a dangerous fraud.

This stuff has worped the American Psyche. People talking about people they don’t even know and swearing they all have the right answers. OMG!

Most of the SD that have come out have said Obama’s camp pressured them LESS about endorsing than Hillary’s camp.
Just stating a fact. (Bill – you say “they” a lot… who are you referring to? here’s another example “we have email proof that they wanted to play the race card from the beginning” – umm, please do share this “proof”

It is the proces….. the process has been denigrated. The DRC has engaged in gamemanship to push Obama. Doesn’t anyone wonder how he came to rise so quickly —- he has been the puppet of the powerful in the DRC. People should wake up and realize that those in power are pushing for what they want. The DRC knows they can control Obama — he is a sell out. Just as he has sold his sould to whomever and whatever would get him to the next step in his goal to be President. He isn’t for the people… he isn’t representing the people…. he is elitist and out of touch…. he is naive and unqualified to lead.

Hillary Clinton is not running for president. She is running to dupe donors into making up her $20 million campaign debt … $11.4 million of which WAS her own money.
Somehow I don’t see her as a fiscally responsible president.
But that point is moot anyway.

I believe the Clintons are fond of saying they are in this “until the last dog dies” and dogs they are. They keep blowing the dog whistles that decent people can’t or don’t want to hear but we would do well to listen. They have blown the dog whistle of racial politics and continue to fan the flames of bigotry and racism in hopes of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy that will deter decent white Americans from voting for Senator Obama. In the same vein, Hillary is now blowing the dog whistle of assassination in hopes that one of her racist white supporters who may be so inclined will heed her call. They have shown us over and over again their true nature and yet we do not want to believe what we are seeing. Decent white Americans continue to give her the benefit of the doubt for all of the terrible things she has said and done, excusing her vile conduct by stating that she has nothing to gain politically by her actions so we must have misinterpreted her intent or meaning. Hillary Clinton is not worthy of the nomination, or a place in an Obama administration, or even to be elected Dog Catcher. She is the dog that needs to be caught, and in terms of this election, put down to stem the spread of her rabid vitriol.

From marc Rudin:
The news media who has been in the tank for Obama in probably the most dishonest and biased coverage of an electoral process in history, accuses her of low tactics if she defends herself. Party elders who, if nothing else, have shown since 1996 they haven’t a clue as to how to win a Presidential election, admonish her not to do anything that would damage the Democrats chances in the fall. Howard Dean, more afraid of not losing than making sure the Democrats win by sending out the most electable and qualified candidate, keeps talking about putting an end to race before its over. And Obama seeing that Clinton has one hand tied behind her back, has taken full advantage, taking his swings when he can, then playing victim if Clinton hits back.
This has been a race where Clinton has been running with 150 lbs on her back and Obama 110. And even with all that she is now in a position to win.

Has anyone noticed how Bill looks more and more like he has been drinking too much? Maybe that is why he rants and flip flops so much?
——————-
He doesn’t flip flop flip as much as McCain!

HE IS CORRECT!!!!!!! MAJOR NEWS STATIONS HAVE BECOME BIASED…. OBAMA CAN NOT WIN… WAKE UP DEMOCRATS… WE DONT NEED ANOTHER KERRY OR GORE!!!

These people Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton NEVER, EVER take any responsibility for their behaviour.
Both of them open their BIG MOUTHS say the things they say, then blame the media and everyone else for actually listening, and hearing the words.
Wasn’t it Hillary Clinton who made the comment about “assasination” IN FRONT OF THE MEDIA. Se did it TWICE (to TIME MAGAZINE in March, and on FRIDAY to the directly to a group of reporters). The media reports what she says, and Hillary gets upset. That is so moronic!!! She is so moronic!! If she hates the media so much why was she talking to them in the first place. Why is she giving press conferences. NOBODY TOLD HER TO SAY WHAT SHE DID, IT CAME OUT OF HER OWN MOUTH.
Hillary, and Bill NEVER ever take any responsibility for their behaviour, they are a disgrace, two adults who act like children when they get called on their bad behaviour.
Hillary, and Bill two of a kind, disgusting liars, and manipulators, bothof them truly deserve each other.

Initially I was a Hillary supporter, I contributed a few hundred dollars to her campaign. But this is not about her. It is about the Democratic Party and what is the best way for that party to retake the White House. Hillary is right some Dem primary campaigns have gone on past June, and usually those campaigns are the ones the Dems destroy themselves. Her comments about the RFK assassination in June ’68 are beyond the pale of acceptable comments. She should leave the assassination comments to Bubba Huckabee and Faux Fox News. Hill it’s time to go!. The time to go with grace and dignity was about 3 weeks ago. It’s now just time to go!

Some here are in the Mesozoic of politics, the dinosaur age and think that Obama is a Muslim.
Others are in the Pleistocene ice ages, and think that Hillary Clinton still stands a chance at the Democratic nomination.
And those of us in the present realize that it will be a good race between Obama and McCain, but that Obama will dominate our future … preferably for the next eight years as president.

s4bo:
Hillary took action to relieve high gas prices by proposing suspending the gas tax. Obama smeared her, and called it “pandering”. Now Obama conveniently is wearing a flag pin after the controversy of not wearing one earlier. Talk about pandering.
Obama is a hypocrite and disgrace.

When you respect people you earn their respect.
When you disrespect people you earn their disrespect.
So Hillary is felling disrespected. Maybe she should start respecting people by telling the truth for starters.

This site is too slow to regenerate, but too fast for rational discussion.
I boycotted ABC after they blew the presidential debate in PA with fluff questions. That debate alone turned my kids off politics … even at ages 9 and 12, they were looking for more substance.
Nothing has improved at ABC. Goodbye, again.

You know last week I was beginning to warm-up to the idea of Hillary being on the ticket with Obama. I wasn’t crazy about one darn bit, but was willing to support it nothing the less. Then along came Friday and the word [asassination] out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth. Stick a fork in me, I’m done with that notion. Not a snowballs chance in [h.e.double hockey sticks] would I ever vote for that ticket. As an Independent, I will sit at home and let ‘God’ straighten it out. Not it’s the left wing conspiracy of the media against them. Back when they were in office it was the ‘right wing’ conspiracy against them. What type of Koolaid are these people drinking here. They have destroyed their political capital in the party, and I personally don’t think it will ever be the same for the Clinton’s going forward. Hillary was beaten fair and square and their embarrased.

Obama should be ashamed of himself. It is Memorial Day Weekend and in the Wesleyan Commencement Address Obama gave in Connecticut, I did not hear one word of thanks by Obama for the service of the United States Veterans and those lost fighting for our freedom. I fear for our Nation if a man such as Obama is elected to the highest office of our land. A man who is so ungrateful for the service and lives given by our brave armed service men and women who keep the peace and protect us all here at home.

I don’t think either has had a free ride from the media. It appears to me the media has decided they get more/better airtime if they play up the “animosity” between the camps. The media finds the black man against white woman is easy copy for themselves. It sells papers,airspace and advertising time. As such, when Obama has made a mistake ( or more often when an acquaintance of his makes a mistake) the media has run with that for all it is worth, pushing and leading the Clinton camp for anything that can be misconstrued as belittling Obama. When Hillary ( or usually Bill) has made a mistake, the media are all over the Obama camp trying to get them to say something the media can portray as inflamatory. I’ll be interested to see if the media plays the same game when it’s a young black man against an old white guy, You’re being played people , and mostly the people you’re getting the most upset at are not those that are orchestrating the opera. The most agitated at the moment are the hillary supporters who are looking for someone to blame for their heros demise. The media (and repubs) had a little to do with it, they tried to give Obama a hand up to make the seemingly insurmountable lead she had a little less insurmountable, it was too good a story for the media to let die early. But the biggest problem was the Clinton campaigns poor organization. Anyone that thinks she has “the experience” to lead from day one, look at the shambles they made of what should have been a walk in the park for her. The “Clinton” machine, close links to all the king makers, brand recognition, a huge lead. You wouldn’t/shouldn’t trust her team to run a bath let alone a country. To whine that Obama somehow played dirty by understanding the primary process better is assinine. Who better than the Clintons, who helped set up the process to understand it. To complain about the FL+MI votes being disallowed, when it was people in Hillary’s campaign that were heavily involved in the committee that decided the penalties just highlights the bungling nature of their campaign. This recent “assassination” debacle is just the icing on the cake. Like a punch drunk boxer her corner should throw in the towel to save her from further punishment. And for god’s sake people, the only way that it can be claimed Hillary has more “votes” than Obama is by counting ALL her Fl+Mi votes that have been disallowed AND not give Obama ANY votes in MI (when his name was not on the ballot) AND not count any population on those states decided by caucuses. I know the last act of a drowning delegate is to grasp at straws but GET REAL !! . She tried, she gave it her best,she did better than any woman in history, her best wasn’t good enough. Anyone that thinks she has a shot in 2012 if Obama loses, is as deluded about that as they are that Hillary will win the nomination. As “Sohappyabout toast” says, even if it’s not true, should Obama lose the GE it will be blamed on bitter vindictive Hillary supporter. The DNC and the majority of the rank and file Dem supporter in general will not support her candidacy (indeed I believe it will set back any future woman candidate if it is felt that a feminist backlash will result if the woman candidate loses. In particular the African American population will hold the grudge to their graves that an African American was denied his rightful place as President out of spite. There will be no second shot at history for Hillary, this was it, and it’s over.

As someone said, it’s all about the delegates. Problem is, the process seems to be fixed in the Democratic Party. Big state after state goes for Clinton and the elected officials ignore their constituents and go with Obama. Mass. goes for Clinton and Kerry and Kennedy go for BO. Pa. goes for Clinton and Senator Casey goes for BO. WV goes for Clinton by 41% and Senator Byrd turns around a few days later and goes to BO. It looks like we’ll have to take out our frustration in November.

She’s not being treated disrespectfully at all. It’s no one’s fault but her own that she had no strategy past Super Tuesday. This thing has been over since Wisconsin… the only purpose she’s serving now is to cause as much chaos in the party as she can.

GET A GRIP:
Broke voters asked Hillary to repeal the gas tax. Maybe you can afford the high gas prices but many of us hard working people cannot. Hillary felt our pain and proposed a temporary solution, in concert with a long-term solution. What did Obama offer? Obama said screw you and called us bitter.
And Obama’s sudden change of position over the flag pin was blatant pandering, regardless of the “excuse” spun by his campaign.

Chicago: You never heard so many lies? Try this. Wright is my mentor, he was never my mentor. I never heard him say that, I heard him say that but didn’t agree. I could not disown him, ok, I disown him. The Kennedys’airlifted my father, ok they didn’t. I don’t know Ayers, ok I do. Should we go on with this.

I always like seeing how Clinton supporters say that she is more electable then Obama. If she was more electable, she would be winning. Furthermore, it does not say anywhere in the constitution that people have the right to vote in a party primary. Thirdly, we have rules for a reason. Both candidates were aware of the DNC rules. Both agreed to the rules. I’m having a hard time understanding what the problem is with this.
Oh Bill, if your worried so much about wife being direspected, maybe next time you shouldn’t get a BJ from an intern in the oval office. Just a thought.

Hillary supporters who won’t vote for Obama
=====================================
I have a message for you.
No past president won every vote in america.
Obama will win even without those of you who refuse to reason with their brains.
You know the truth but are deliberately pretending. Why all this crap about Obama being moslem, rev wright, ayers etc.
Many of you have associated with people who hold different views, or people who committed crimes in your own lives without changing your own ways.
You guys keep talking out of your sentiments like kids.

HillaryMccain, what are you talking about. Hillary and Obama have the same policies because those are the policies of the dems. You really think Hillary just made them up on her own. You can’t be serious.

Just a few simple questions for the Senator Clinton supportors so we can get this show on the road:
1) Please let us know what states count. The Obamaa suppoters really hate that we won wom that don’t count.
2) Similiary, in those states that count, what voters count. I would hate to actually count a vote from someone that you guys don’t think counts.
3) And why is it exactly is it that you see the Obama supporters as elitists?

I’ve always liked Bill Clinton, so this is really sad to see him saying such irrational things. I liked Hillary too, until she went negative.

Give me a break!! I am so sick and tired of Bill and Hillary Clinton whining and complaining and trying to change the rules and being so destructive to the Democratic Party. Get over it!! In a political process one person wins and one loses and she lost-period!! The popular vote doesn’t decide the nominee and she only gets that if you count both Florida and Michigan-Obama got 0 votes in Michigan but do they care? Of course not, they just want to win no matter what they have to say or do to do it. They are delusional and frankly I wonder about their mental health and that of some of their closest supporters. Get over it. She lost and it is nobodies fault but her own. Maybe is she would of been more positive instead of blaming everyone and everything all the time, she might have done better. Oh and it would help if she didn’t lie so much. We already have a liar in the White House-don’t need another one.

Obama supporters are elitist.

Wow… No words left for the clintons and how it’s always everyone elses fault. Bless them…

bhrandon – I can certainly answer that. NA women. Or even an NA man. I know exactly the last one of the Nations that held an elected position. Gee. Want some cheese with your whine?

Your headline initially reads” BIlls Blows up ….” But, then your story starts with “Bill Clinton spent more than six minutes calmly discussing what he called a “frantic effort to push her out” of this race, saying that no one asked Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson or Gary Hart to end their presidential campaigns early.”
How bias are you?! Why use the term “Blow up” then “calm” in the same page? ABC is bias! Period. ABC sounds more and more like an “Obamanation.”!

Another thing…why is it that the media didn’t go after and expose Barack’s dirty laundry until well after he was a mile ahead in delegates…?
Ever since Barack has been EXPOSED, Hillary Clinton has been kicking his butt in all but a couple of states.
And…for all those who were PISSED OFF in 2000 when Al Gore got cheated out of Florida votes…it is ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC that you could support a candidate who made DAMN SURE behind the scenes to stop a REVOTE while saying how he was a “different candidate” and “a uniter of the people”.
Barack is liar….and….I seriously question where he continues to receive record funding despite losing the majority of the past 10 states AND from a target support group that includes college students and one of the country’s lowest social economic classes… black Americans…?
Yeah…not possible rich oil muslim backing here!

Your lead title on the main website is that “Bill blows up” then in the first sentence of the article the reporter writes “calm voice”, so what is it? Does Bill really “blow up” or does he states his case in a “calm voice”? ABC is so bias, I have to stop reading you.

One day the media will turn on Obama. Hopefully it will start this week when Tony Rezko get convicted on 24 counts.

hillary will surely find out that like a dog you can only chase your tail for so long–amd find out it is out of reach

Mike – I a agree with you, but I think there’s one other aspect. Senator Clinton was presumtive nominee and her advisors ran a bad campaign.

Q. Where did Obama get his money?
A. From over two million donors.

John McCain is a Celebrity
Barack Obama is a Scholar
HilLIARy Clinton is a Professional Victim

anne white, you are a senior that strongly wants a woman pres and because of that you would never vote for Obama. So you seem to think that he has stolen it from her. Sorry, I don’t like Hillary. I think she is a liar and and has used her sex to get votes. It’s truly disturbing that she would do that.

Donna, the fact you Obama supporters have to make up accomplishments for Obama is pathetic. As to Obama’s so called Universal Health Care accomplishment in Illinois see below{
Obama’s Iowa victory speech per the Daily Herald,
“I’ll be a president who finally makes health care affordable and available to every single American, the same way I expanded health care in Illinois, by bringing Democrats and Republicans together to get the job done,” the Chicago Democrat said Thursday.
But Illinois doesn’t have universal health care.
And a classic from Sen Righter,
Still, Obama’s quote raised eyebrows given the lingering tension over the direction of health care policy in Illinois, although few lawmakers were willing to go on the record with any criticism.
One former colleague willing to talk was state Sen. Dale Righter, a Mattoon Republican, who thought Obama stretched the truth.
“He didn’t put together universal health care in Illinois,” Righter said. “The best evidence of that is that we don’t have universal health care in Illinois.”
As to the other bills you mentioned in the Illinois Senate that Obama got credit for. Obama did not work on them. Here’s the real scoop:
Obama’s accomplishments in the state Senate for 6 years was zero. Obama spent his time getting into the good graces of people like Rezko and Ayres in order to financially benefit his future in politics. When Obama asked Emil Jones to make him a federal Senator than Obama started to show some accomplishments. However, those accomplishments included Emil Jones, President of the Illinois state Senate, appointing Obama the head of every piece of high-profile legislation in sight to pad his resume. Jones aside all the senior state senators who had been working on bills for years and gave the credit to Obama by naming Obama as sponsor. Bottom line after six years of doing nothing in the Obama’s 7th and final year as a state Senator, his record went from zero accomplishments to being falsely credited for the sponsorship of 26 passed bills. None of which Obama worked on or fought for!
This is what Obama is doing in the US Senate as well, look at his record, it is zero. Except of course, when it comes to getting earmarks for his wife’s employer passed for the University of Chicago Hospitals, where Michelle Obama was vice president of community affairs. Michelle had already benefited when her salary went to $316,962 in 2005 just after Obama took office.
Obama supporters are either a bunch of clueless useful idiots or just plain liars.

Who else thinks the Clintons are desperate ????? They are the lowest of canidates ever to run for office. No wonder Bill was impeached……..he is really a rotten piece of work!!!
They really need to get Hillary in the Whitehouse….maybe they have new pardons to sell, or new ways to sell out the American people….they got away with it in the past and they will try again if they ever got the oppertunity.
1st Hillary says there is “NO WAY” she would ever consider being anything but “PRESIDENT”….now her and Bill are begging for the VP Spot! Go Figure. I just hope OBAMA isn’t stupid enough to put her on the his ticket…..that would be handing McCain a free pass to the Presidency…….

Well…the polls Bill is talking about…the ones with HRC at 300 electoral votes…Chelsea did the polling. The Clintons have also decided that their campaign is not in debt and have allocated themselves the rest of the superdelegates. Why? They are the Clintons.

Aren’t we all tired of the Clinton Road SHow yet? Are they still around? Bill CLinton has embarassed himself and his wife’s campaign. He is the joke. Hillary uses her sex when it suits her and uses to cry for sympathy. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Why is your husband fighting ALL your battles? Save your pride and go out with some dignity Hillary. Woman NOT for Hillary

A lot of people don’t like Bill and Hillary. Yes she could win the White House, but that’s not the point. The point is that more people support Obama at this time.
So the media and others have pressured her to leave. Does she really need her husband to protect her? Isn’t she a big girl if she’s trying to run for office?
How can a perpetual victim make good decisions in the White House? Will she need Bill to protect her then too?
These are the questions that come to mind after reading this.

The sweetie comment! Get over it! Hmmmmm! Obama must call his own girls Sweetie several times a day. I admire the fact he has the word in his vocabulary.It beats Hillary’s racist comments AND NO REGARD FOR HER OWN SELF RESPECT.I don’t know who this woman is anymore! McCain with his my Friends I am not his friend and I never want to be.With friends like that who needs enemy’s!That would be the day he would be our friend.Wait until he brings the draft back! Oh and we can’t forget all of GEORGE BUSHES blunders in every way Why are you all not Marching in the streets for change!Soon that is all we will be able to do because we will not be driving!George Bushes retirement package! George Bush oil sheik!I believe he is causing the energy prices to go up so we will all be relieved when McCain says we won the war the oil is mine.I am going to share it with you my friends.Wake up and smell the roses Sweeties!
OBAMA 08

HillaryMcCain08–
60% of the democratic party will either write Hill in or vote McCain?????
Primary contest polls reflect nothing when it comes to the general. If they did, Bill would have lost in 1992, he was way down in the polls in the spring of 1992.
LMFAO.

Clinton is right. I am one of those voter who is willing to vote Democrat in this general election if Hillary Clinton is the nominee. I like those Clinton years. If no Clinton, I don’t know why we would vote Democrat this year. John McCain is my second choice.

Bill is absolutely right!!!!

JUST THINK
Before long all you Clinton-haters will be snuggling up to her supporters like the best of friends. You’ll laugh and say it was only an innocent game but everyone needs to hang together to defeat Satan and prevent Armageddon.
Hypocrites?
Posted by: T | May 25, 2008 3:21:12 PM
How about realist not about to reward republicans for ruining this country. Can anybody say, war, crushing debt, foreclosures, high fuel and food prices?

HillaryMcCain’08
it has been said that 85% of all statistics are made up on the spot. I’m with Hold on there Spanky on this one – If Hillary were able to garner 60% of the vote from write-in, we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now, because she would have been the presumptive nominee for months.

Everybody knows the media is biased for Obama. They trip over each other trying to build him up. It is embarrassing to watch and read. Bill is right, were the vote counts switched they would not treat Obama the way they have Hillary.
The most important thing here is to stop the Bush third term.
We Democrats need to stop the nasty sniping at each other. We can’t win the election without the vote of Hilary’s supporters. We probably can’t win without the black vote.
So lets let the primaries play out and at the convention have a floor vote and that is that. Then we need to pull together for the winner. You think the two nominees have been hitting each other hard, wait till the Republican smear machine starts rolling – you ain’t seen nothing yet!
One thing for sure, when the election is past we need to dump everyone at the Democratic National Committee. They have caused more problems by their inaction on on the two uncounted states. They should have handled this better from the start. Failing that they should have resolved it before now when those votes are critical for one of the candidates.

Hillary #1 & Best Choice. McCain #2 Choice – Better than Obama. We Will Stand For America – Not For A Party !

Democrats for Hillary–
Democrats need the black vote to win in a general election. So tell me how does Hillary mend the fences with the black voting block in two short months? Yes, she would win some of them back but likely not enough to win. She also will drive Republicans out in droves to vote against her. Right now some will probably not vote at all or vote Bobb Barr. But if Hillary is on the ticket, you can bet they will vote McCain to ensure she loses.
These two factors alone make Hillary extremely unelectable at this point.
I am not throwing down the race card here. It is just a fact.
The super delegates know this and will act accordingly. Hillary is now the unelectable one.

Obama supporters won’t shut their pile holes until Obama suffers a humiliating defeat at the general election.
He cannot win even half of Democrat party’s votes. Republicans will not vote for him and many Hillary supporters will never vote for him either.
I have a chance to do a small survey today in my church. Over 150 churchgoers, only 2 of them voted for Obama and the rest of us voted for Hillary. Being asked, none of Hillary supporters will go to vote in November if Obama is a nominee!
Keep it in mind, over 28% of Hillary supporters will vote for John McCain in November according to the recent survey. For over 2 months, this number has risen…. and will not go away!
So, Obama supporters, go ahead to sing “mission accomplished” now, then have each other to comport later!
Wish to see you guys are moaning and crying like wound animals in the fall!

Bill is in no way a modern day hero. He is one of the 10 worst presidents in history. Only a chimp could have screwed up the economy during the 90′s, when computers were just coming to be a household item. He pushed NAFTA down our throats, he signed the ’96 Telecommunications Act which allowed corporations such as Clear Channel to gobble up all the radio stations, and quash the voice of dissent. He also opened the door to trade with China, and gave computer technology to China. He also lied about the BJ. What has transpired during the campaign, has convinced me that the Clinton’s are knee deep in 9/11 and global domination along with the Bush administration.

I don’t know much about the Clintons (I didn’t vote for him) – although I NOW support Hillary. One thing is for sure – Bill Clinton has a much better personality and down-to-earth, ‘been there’ persona than Obama does.

It’s emphatically embarrassing to hear people still expressing ” experience” as an antidote to America’s presidency. Aren’t we all observing the delicacy of such an”Experienced” leadership at the moment? I would rather prefer to see an “inexperience” president for a change this time. Wake up America!!!!
I’M GONNA GIVE BARACK THE CHANCE THIS TIME.

Hillary has been treated bad by media rightfully because when she speaks its almost always a opps I did it again situation from bosnia to the last kennedy gafe every time she gets air play she is doing anyting to stir up racial divide. She makes the TV ratings go down she only has you HRC supporters who never see the flat out lies and it just aint enough to keep the ratings up.
Obama 08

Pete–
Do you really think it will be Obama/Clinton at this point?
A lot of Hillary supporters say they still won’t vote for him, but want her on the ticket as they think it will make her more viable in 2012.
I think the comment about RFK doomed any chance for her to be on the ticket. I also think it doomed her with super delegates.

Race Card,
Your argument would be fair, except that white people and black people don’t have the same experience. When whites talk about the assertion of white culture, there’s a diabolical image attached to it – and there should be. I have had black neighbors who had crosses left burning in their front yards. The assertion of black culture and liberation through a deep and abiding faith in God isn’t frightening to me, it’s inspiring. Liberation theology was started by St. Bartolome de las Casses in defense of Native American slaves in Mexico.
I can appreciate that you are a member of a different church, and that your experience with TUCC has not necessarily been a good one – but don’t tell me tall tales about a “guerilla faith” – you know me well enough to know I’ll check it out.

hennesy
spoken like a true republican–you assume that was the theme of all rights sermons—if he was at time talking about all the injustices that colored people suffered over the years——what would you say–now be honest—-however i feel that he should have been encouraging people to bury past and move ahead—

toastondayone
remember vietnam polititions on both sides made billions–while our sons died and once again FOR WHAT

The US would not have invaded Iraq had Saddam adhered to UN resolution 1441. Documents secured from Saddam now show that Saddam had every intention of restarting his WMD program as he did not think the US would invade him. So sooner or later, the world would have had to face up to the immediate threat Saddam posed to the world. Post 9/11, the US decided it would not wait and be attacked by a known enemy of the West . An enemy who cheered 9/11 , provided aid to Hamas , and who every intelligence agency reported had WMDs. Thus Iraq was invaded. If Obama had gotten his way and Saddam was still in power the West would be dealing with TWO major middle eastern powers on the brink (or already in possession} of nuclear weapons. The facts on the ground now in Iraq are that Al Qaeda is there and if the USA retreats and turns Iraq over to them, Al Qaeda will have access to Iraq’s large oil reserves and thus the means and opportunity to attack us and attack us hard. Our Middle Eastern allies will have no reason to trust our word and abandon us. Not to mention the boost a withdrawal from Iraq will give to Iran, Syria and Hamas. Think WWIII, A lot of people they scoff at the threat Al Qaeda and the rest of their ilk poses to the security of the US and future of the Western World. If Obama is elected his defeatist policies will put us all at more risk of another 9/11 attack and even worse the blow up the middle east which will mean more will die. That is what happened in WWII when people thought Hitler could be appeased and were wrong, very wrong. Whats more, the killing fields of Cambodia could be played out again by Al Qaeda in Iraq. Only this time the people slaughtered could be the very people that risked their lives to support the US. Question, if Obama wins, can you Obama supporters sleep well at night if you get what you want and this happens? I hope not.

ToastOnDayOne–
Good post. Too bad Hillary supporters aren’t interested in the issues right now. They are still sulking.
Let’s hope by November the big boy/girl pants have come on and they vote with their heads and pocket books rather than out of spite.

Supers should worry more about the General Election because in case of a failure with BO’s team many of them will loose the general esteem and probably their positions.

Hillary to the Convention Still miles ahead of Obama, Beats McCain, so what have we been telling you. better put your country ahead of Michelle and Obama
May 25, 2008
Gallup Daily: Clinton Maintains Lead Over McCainObama has 5-point lead over Clinton among DemocratsUSA Democrats Election 2008 Gallup Daily Americas Northern America PRINCETON, NJ — Gallup Poll Daily tracking from May 20-24 finds Hillary Clinton maintaining a significant 49% to 44% lead over John McCain when registered voters are asked about their preferences for the fall general election, while McCain has a slight 47% to 45% advantage over Barack Obama.

Rodney–I totally agree. When I was young, my dad, who worked for the University of Wisconsin at the time, somehow got hold of a copy of “The Selling Of The Pentagon” (how the government lied to sell the public on the Viet Nam war) and we watched it together in his office. I was not old enough to understand the documentary then, but I get it now.

vuzous, You have got to be kidding. Rev. Wright was an official member of Obama’s campaign team!!!! When everything about Wright became public ie God D### America, Obama had to let him go. Wright’s title on Obama’s campaign team was “Spiritual Advisor”. Why do Obama supporters keep spreading such obvious lies about Obama when there is the Internet and all the information about Obama and Rev. Wright’s role in Obama’s campaign is public record. Geez.

Racey,
Clinton wrote a book called “It takes a Village.” I didn’t bother finish reading it, because a few chapters in, I decided it resembled the later chapters of Marx & Engels book, “The Communist Manifesto.” While I found the earlier chapters of TCM intriguing, Marx and Engels stated in the final chapters that it was their intention to remove children from the homes of parents who did not raise the children according to the dictates or the State. Clinton’s book said that she didn’t believe that most parents were qualified to parent. I found this disturbing. I am interested in your thoughts on this.

Martha–
Hillary is unelectable. She can’t win over enough of the black vote at this point to win in the general election.
Republicans hate Hillary with a passion. If she is on the ticket they will vote en mass.
She has said she doesn’t need the black vote or the educated vote or the youth vote. When in fact, she would need all of these things to win the general election. She is no longer a viable candidate.
The super delegates know this and they will not give her this nomination.
Democrats will win down ticket with or without Hillary. If nothing else they will split their tickets, vote republican for Prez and democrat for everything else.
Hillary brings nothing to the dance.

anarchyjack
it shows that we still have a long way to go—–my personal feeling is thet until we have a complete mixing of the races this will not end—and even then we will find something else to fight about—–guess we are stuck with being human – and our petty differences—i fully believe in freedom of speach–and have been called a few names myself.

Good for him. Clinton is making a good point. How can the Democrats, the party of “Count every vote,” push the person who has won the popular vote out? This is just weird. I don’t get it. I am ashamed of my party. I am ashamed of my party because they have turned their backs on the Clintons. Afterall, it was the Clinton’s who gave the Democrats power for the first time in 15 years. Bill Clinton is the only democrat who has managed to get re-electred since FDR. This is sad. Just sad.
This is why we never win.

Bitter, Bill?

april
she played new yorkers for fools and i hope next election they do something about it.
she is what she is——money and power is all that matters.
beyond that i would wonder where was she during willys escapades -was it approved by her as she is still with him.

The nominating process involves getting voted in at the convention. This is not a corination. deal with Obamabots.

Hillary’s hilarious. The Democratic Party has fractured. The only way to put it back together for Barack Obama’s election campaign is for Hillary supporters to wake up, publicly denounce her and declare support for Barack Obama on their own. Hillary now has zero credibility with anyone who has any self respect and common sense. She can’t even publicly support and campaign for Barack Obama now. Otherwise she will discredit his campaign if she does. Talk about damage to the party! She may have now ruined any chance he has to win, just as some predict was her backup plan all along. But year 2012 is now completely out of the picture for her. What a complete self destructive loser! I wonder, is she on a suicide watch? After this campaign only criminals and lowlifes and the truly mindless will continue to admire and adore these lowlife, criminal, furniture stealing, con artists we all know as the Clintons. Been a long time coming.

Please, no more excuses. Along with the policy debates and formulation of party platforms, the primary campaign process is designed to detect exactly how the candidates continue to function under the pressure. We want to see and we need to know exactly how the candidates are affected by the lengthy, tiring, demanding process. We try to determine their beliefs and values and how each candidate’s stamina, thinking, judgment, and health, holds up in the process. Yes it is a pressure cooker. That’s what it’s supposed to be. It’s not a perfect process but we need to know who’s likely to crack before we decide who our president is going to be. Hillary didn’t make the cut. And for better or worse, we now know she’s also not fit for the Senate. That’s a bonus!

Isn’t it amazing that there are hundreds of comments against what Bill said? Do you think there is a remote possibility that “rhetoric” from the BO camp might be infiltrating the internet?You only see hundreds of comments when they need to bury the truly thought out comments of those who “get it”.
Bucky

Bill should take an oath, and wag his finger at us, then we would believe him. NOT!
The man is a liar, was impeached, and his wife has no values we can put our faith in.
I thought he told us that this campaign was mild, and that we have to stand the heat of the kitchen. Now that they are surely losing, he is weeping.

Rodney,
It isn’t like they haven’t done it before.
The Clintons always get what they want some how, some way. And yet, this time it doesn’t look like they can bully their way in. Looks like the old Clinton charm has worn away.
It’s time for the Clintons to eat some humble pie and I for one am glad to be around to see it happen.

Bill and Hillary…..Please, your Interview with the public for the Office is OVERRRRR! Move along or we will have security escort you out the door!

Chris–
These are statistics from polls, which HRC seems to love, that is if they favor her.
Let me rephrase. 75% of republicans have a very unfavorable opinion of HRC. 70% of independents have a very unfavorable opinion of HRC. 51% of democrats have a very unfavorable opinion of HRC.
So tell me, how is she electable in November with that many people who find her very unfavorable? George W. Bush is the only politician in this country with an unfavorable rating higher than Hillary’s.
She cannot win in the general.

I have been a Bill Clinton fan forever and a day but over the last six months I have seen a man that I don’t recognize anymore. Bill has done more damage to himself and the campaign than anyone could have hoped.
At one time he was highly respected by the African American population but this race to the White House has shown the Clinton’s in a very bad light. It’s hard to believe that every thing they appeared to fight so hard for has come to fruition and now they are hell bent on destroying it.
Hillary claims she has so much experience, then why didn’t she read the Democratic Play Book over the past 30 years or so. She would have found out that she could have received more votes going after the caucus states. Now that she and Bill have run a lousy campaign it’s now time to blame others and spin all kinds of lies. It’s shameful.
I’m afraid of what they may have up their sleeves before June 3. Desperate times call for desperate measures. We’ll get the truth about this campaign in another 10 years when Hillary’s too old to run for president and they want to make a final financial sweep. This couple is slowly moving towards a political disgrace.
Obama has won, get over it!

Rodney, I think you might have it backwards…

bob
that about sums it up—-now try to convince people on this site—you will find it almost impossible.

Bill, if you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen! Remember?

Bill Clinton is truly gone off w/ wife Hillary Clinton. This is honestly not the truth. Where are those statistics and polls that shows the wife doing better than Obama nationally. Saying things w/o facts is lying and Bill is lying, just like the wife….

get a grip……if Hillary were ever a master of manipulation and conning the common man, obama has gone way beyond her for that title….

anarchyjack……she knew she couldn’t win because she didn’t have enough experience in the Senate, and unless you have spent some time as a Governor (4 of the last 5 Presidents), it might be hard to convince the majority of voters in the states that you need to win in order to become President that you are ready to lead as President and as Commander-in-Chief (somewhat relevant: Governor experience-State Guard)…..that said, the idiots who voted for dubya in 2004 were already aware of what an idiot he was thanks to his first term, but they didn’t really like kerry because of his own gaffes and especially the swift boat vets campaign…….and for 2008, obama has provided plenty of information to keep such anti-American, neo-conservative special interest groups busy for months……and though obama lemmings may not, such special interest groups know how the White House is won through different states and their respective electoral votes and they have practically unlimited funds with which to win them….

Bill Clinton is right to speak up, it’s about time this issue got in the media. Too bad it’s the 11th hour. However, Hillary has won the big electoral states, many swing states, and the majority of the recent primaries. I wonder why the media is not calling for Obama to exit for party unity. She is clearly more likely to win if the nominee. It’s going to the convention, woohoo!!!

anarchyjack…..i guess the completely unprecedented and unanticipated pre-emptive attack and occupation of a country based on false evidence and a heap of lies and falsehoods had nothing to do with the deaths of so many and the maiming and injuries, both physical and emotional, of so many more……but you go ahead, take your eye off the ball and blame Senator Clinton for your own selfish and exaggerated reasons for the evil and incompetence and ignorance of the bush administration and their entire network of corrupt friends and comrades…..they will be happy to help you redirect your justified anger over this travesty in American history to someone else

my god citizen patriot…what a horrible thing to say. we were all mislead by that creep bush as to WMD over in iraq. we cannot blame the over 4,000 deaths of americans in iraq just on hillary. people wake up here…we were duped by that idiot in the white house and his vice prez. what a shame. obama could not vote on the war, as he was not eliegible to do so. let’s stand united as dems…get that creep bush outta there, and no mc’cant. but please realize at the same time hillary is not our enemy. she stands firm on leading our country back to peace, prosperity, insurance for all, jobs that pay a good wage. please, please listen.

This is not quite accurate. Bill Clinton’s “fun house” would have to contain legions of chubby teenage interns that were all over him. I’ve yet to see that- so I seriously doubt his claims that he feels he’s like he’s in a fun house.

I feel the Clintons are deperate that they will do evrything just to be the nominee.This is all i can say, you are all profissionals PLEASE LEARN TO ACCEPT DEFEAT.

the fact of the matter is that President Clinton enjoyed unprecedented international goodwill during his time as President, Senator Clinton, albeit via her husband, also has made very impressive inroads with international governments, organizations and individuals around the world (vitalvoices.org ) and such an Administration (Hillary and Bill) would again reinvigorate and re-energize America’s positive and beneficial standing in the world community partly because they are not dubya, but mostly because the world already understands and knows how much America and the world will benefit from having their leadership, intelligence and grasp of international issues in particular, especially as to how they impact America and its people, and they will be much more prepared and equipped than either mccain and obama (especially obama) to lead not only America but the world community in helping all interrelated nations realize a better tomorrow, because only working together will such a dream come to fruition, though admittedly, it will not come overnight…..neither mccain or obama can achieve so much in the expedient and accelerated time frame that Senator Clinton and the First Gentleman Bill can on the world stage, and such failure to do so will only delay the solutions to many of the problems facing America today, especially iraq, if they don’t further aggravate those problems otherwise….

good night anarchyjack….i never said obama wouldn’t be the nominee….i’m just saying he won’t win in November and Senator Clinton would be a MUCH better President…….that and the noticeable similarity between dubya’s supporters in 2004 and obama’s supporters in 2008 as having “likeability” as a strong reason for their support….

it is past embarrasing.. and I would be enjoyiing it .. except these people scare me .. what are they going to do next?.

g’night all….and remember: support Senator Clinton. Because I love my son and want the one candidate that I KNOW will make the best President, I have no choice but to support Senator Hillary Clinton for President. EVERYTHING else is secondary after consideration for his best interest.

Chris,
There are supporters on both sides who allow themselves to get agitated and do not represent their candidates well. You and I would both be included in that category from time to time.
As I read your posts and others on here, the word fear pops up far too often. That doesn’t seem like an intellectual argument.
Fear is what got George Bush elected. You say there are similarities between Bush voters in 2004 and Obama voters in 2008, however, HRC supporters constant use of the word fear would indicate Hillary is the one getting the fear vote this year.

I think Hillary is sickly obsessed with becoming President, afterall, if you don’t quite make it then it is not the end of the world, there are ways to contribute to society.

Chris/Libre
I started off in this campaign trying to involve in measured and reasonable debate
I got so sickened by the trash thrown at Obama that eventually I reckoned that while the measured debate must continue the trash tally also had to be balanced.
Neither candidate will be perfect but, whatever words are used, you have one demonstrably very flawed former first lady in this pretending to be decent and honest and she should not be allowed to get away with selling that misconception.
Slurping back the Koolaid and proud of it! :)

Just in reference to the title, I don’t think that Senator Clinton is being treated as disrespectfully as Nadar often has. People have said over and over again that his running gives victory to the repblicans. It’s some democratic process we have.

Clinton is right. Even this article has the title Clinton blows.. and later they say he quietly explained his point.
As for most of the comments are so hateful that it is hard to imagine that they come from the country that had a n 80 % approval rating for Clinton.

When clinton’s supporters say they would vote for Mcain than Obama,what does that say about the Clintons????!! A valid question, ha????

Carlasue,
Since the 1992 primary, I never liked these people – the Clintons, never. Call it instict. And no one but them has ever influenced my opinion. If he did inhale, he was lying to all of us. If he didn’t inhale, he was deceiving the friends he was with. They’re may be very smart people but their values are in the gutter. Trashy con artists is what they are, however educated they may be. Yes, we had peace and posterity in the 90′s. No real enemies to speak of. And while we were building down and enjoying ourselves, our enemies were all quietly building up against us. Our military discipline and readiness suffered greatly under their anti-military watch. The Army became a family friendly, touchy feely, liberal experiment. They tore it apart – made it soft. It adopted the values of its Commander-In-Chief. This I know first hand. Our Army is in big trouble. And if our Army is in big trouble, our nation is in big trouble. Without our Army, we never would have had a nation. Without a strong Army, we would have never kept it. And don’t blame all our problems on Bush. He didn’t attack us, but he did have to play the cards that were dealt to him by Bill when our enemies came a calling. If the Left had helped instead of hindered our earlier military efforts, maybe we wouldn’t be in such a hard spot right now. Some of us realize that Iran and the militant Islamic fundamentalism that it has exported has been on a low boil for 30 years now, building up arms and spreading out all over the place. Personally I have no confidence in any of the big three candidates. Obama is charismatic. But that’s no reason to vote for him. Hillary? She’s proven all over the place that she’s not fit for the job – She cracked up on Friday. Jimmy Carter anyone? Yes we are in a lot of trouble, serious trouble. Right now I could care less about children starving in Biafra. I care about America citizens dying in America. What we need first is National relations and diplomacy. Amen.

Hillary never played the race card. She isn’t wishing for Obama to be assassinated. You people are driven by an irrational hatred for this woman.

Hey Dina the media wants Obama to be nominee so bad they’ll throw every democrat under the bus just to get him there. It won’t be long till they throw Obama under a freight train like they have done to Hillary.

Hey jjarden I remember the Clinton years with the greatest economy ever. That’s why I want another Clinton ion the white House instead on this rookie punk we have now about to win the nominee because the media gave him a free pass

Can this drama queen cannot be the same POTUS that I thought was so good in the 90′s.

I know everyone on this post knows it all, however, he may be telling you something that is going on behind the scenes that you don’t know and wouldn’t have access to. Some listen to the media’s talking heads and act as if it was the gospel truth.

Saw some college lads last week in a bar. They’ll be West Point Grads next Saturday, U.S. Army Second Lieutenants leading the way. Hip Hop to the bone – every last one of them. Products of our tolerant, diverse, liberal, gangster rap culture. God save us.

“Bill Clinton Has ‘Never Seen a Candidate Treated So Disrespectfully Just for Running’.”
Well now you have Bill. So now it’s time to shut up and get out of here.

Bill Clinton you have one option to split the Democrat party. The Democrat party has become nothing but a special intrest group for the BLACKS GAYS and anyother victim group that wants to shove it to AMERICA./

From The media to the DNC and obama campaign. Hillary has been abuse, disrespected and made a target.
The media almost like they have been paid off by Obama, his camp or his friends. They have even gone low and used her clothing and her voice to make derogatory statements and headlines about.
Most headlines have been, mean, hateful or down right unfavorable. She has blasted for everything she says, does or wears in an extremely nasty unfavorable way.
Rarely has any headlines, comments statements or opinions In a favorable way been Done.
Unlike The favorable coverage of her opponents.
Obama started it all with his blaming, pointing fingers, half-truths and lies. in the beginning of his campaign.
The Bottom line, is the facts that:
The People want Hillary!
She is far better Candidate and will be a better Nominee.
She can beat McCain.
She would make the better President than Obama could ever be.
Is there a reason this race went on for so long? YES there is, The people want Hillary.

Dem: You must be reading comic books. Of course the media like Chris Matthews, Shuster and Rustert have been promoiting Obama from the start of his campaign. Christ Matthews was against the Clinton’s winning the white house again and it showed on him. I watched him very carefully as he spoke. Obama will never be Bill Clinton because he doesn’t have the intelligence. I believe he also made deals with the superdelegates to switch to him for favors granted. There is no way Hillary could have dropped that fast. You should be aware of the fact that Obama was an attorney for a crooked businessman and that’s where he learned the tricks of the trade. I hope that Hillary’s voter’s think twice and vote for McCain or don’t vote at all.

CitizenPatriot: I basically think you don’t know what your talking about when you say those statements about the Clinton’s. We never had it so good when Bill Clinton was president and we won’t have it that good if Obama becomes the president of this country. Saddam had no intention of coming here. Bush’s father could have went after Saddam but chose not to in the Persian Gulf War. That country was in good shape until Bush, Jr. invaded it and look at the men we lost for no reason. Get a grip on life and wake up. Bush wanted control of that country and the oil and didn’t care about losses. Hillary would end the war quicker than Obama who is all mouth. He is a good speaker using speeches from the book of RFK because he can’t think for himself. God will need to help us if he is elected.

No one could possibly show greater disrespect for Hillary than has Bill. End of story.

Equal opportunity to succeed = equal opportunity to fail. Hillary has not been treated any differently than any one else in this primary. She HAS NOT won the popular vote…she IS staying in this far too long…no one else had to be asked to leave previous primarys…they bowed out gracefully as she should.

Bill is right. The news people on all the Networks and Cable, Satellite, have been for Hillary from the very beginning. Practically everthing she says, Obama and his gang made it out to be racist or disrespectful and then the news picks it up and runs with it and then the very next day Obama acts like he never objected or cried about her statements. He is such a phony and liar.
Obama hollers about changing the rules yet he and his supporters think the superdelegates should all line up behine him even if Hillary wins. That is breaking the rules of the superdelegate. They are suppose to come in at the end and voice their choice as to who would be best for the Country. That rule has been broken in favor of Obama.
I will vote all Democratic except for President and I will leave that blank if Hillary doesn’t run. The Nation doesn’t need such a thin skinned person who bawls about anything and everything a person says. We don’t need some one who will divide the races more than we are already divided. So far, Obama has done just that. He has fail to show good judgement in the past regarding his associations and his remarks. From his wife’s writing and remarks, she is more akin to the Black Panthers than any other organization or party or Country. But they can get up and say they were taken out of context or he didn’t hear his pastor speak hate during the 20 years he sat in that church or he didn’t associate closely with him or Rezco, etc. and all the news people accept it and agree with him.
I know for a fact, this campaign has made me realize why the news media’s ratings are in the tank. I think most are bias, hypocrits, and mainly try their best to get some bad will between candidates started. They are after a confrontation, to hell with Country, or anything else.

Well Mickey, if thats true, then YOU fell for them. Ironic you would spend the better part of your post bashing Obama then finish with “the media is mainly trying their best to get some bad will between the candidates started”. So who’s the hypocrite??

Thats it Oracle, support HRC she supports gas taX panders. Have you noticed how everytime HRC says something dumb we all blame the media and Obama?? And Obama gives the broad the benefit of the doubt?? Then you notice how she trys to jump on every gaffe?? And guess what……..SHES STILL LOSING!!!!!!!

Lol. Kibs, I thought it was the Obama supporters with the college degrees. Lol. And whos broke??

Bill Clinton is right. Obama can’t win the general election, and I for one, will not vote for a dangerously inexperienced Obama….this is not managing a company, for God’s sakes, it’s the US – how does he have a clue about how to manage the economy and the military? He does NOT. Hillary does – I don’t get what is going on, but Bill is so correct. I have never seen a candidate ridiculed – no matter what she says Obama’s campaign twists her words and jumps all over her…she is a respected, successful US Senator. This is the guy who supposedly “transcends politics”, brings us together – what a joke – what a laugh. He will be trounced in the general election and deserves to be.

Bill Clinton condeming anyone who pressures or strongarms a superdelegate?
He’s so precious.

Bill Clinton speaks the truth. The press would not be allowed to say anything comparable in regard to Obama. The misogynist media will place a weak nominee in the race and the Dems will not win. Americans are being herded like sheep to the slaughter as they are manipulated by the misogynist men visible in this country. Hatred of women and this particular woman shows the real weakness of this country … the men in power. Their hatred will suffocate any chance of a better future for this country because the whole world is watching this election and we should be ashamed of the conduct of these men. Obama may win the nomination but the unfairness of this so called democratic process, reflected in the hatred of women spewed by the press will undermine his candidacy, the media and this country. What real leader wins by following the path of such hatred? Don’t think for a nano second that women aren’t paying attention. Misogynist men would do well to think carefully about this, if they can remember how to think. Thinking men would do well to warn their misogynist brothers of the consequences of misogyny, particularly when women are no longer shackled to a man. Rest and bask in your nasty misogyny; we are plotting and planning. Next time, we won’t be so easy or so nice.

The Oracle: That’s where you are wrong. Why do you think that WVA and KY didn’t vote for Obama and the battleground states. Get a grip. Why shouldn’t they vote for their own race when the blacks are voting for Obama. Why don’t you pack your bags and move to the southside of Chicago. I think you would be confortable there. I understand Obama won’t live in that area and won’t even visit there and he is half black. He lives in Hyde Park with his neighbor Ayers who bombed this country three times. They make a good pair. Obama is just as crooked as Ayers is dangerous.

Those who are talking about voting for McCain if Hillary doesn’t get the nomination are the ones who need a Democrat in the White House the most. If you are willing to cross party lines to keep a Democrat out, then you are really not a true Democrat.

It is amazing. The Clintons have been out sleezed and out lied.

Boy..This blog has really turned to straight GARBAGE. Have ANY of you people EVER taken a debate class in college?…..GEESH
There is absolutely NO content whatsoever….only name-calling and school-yard insults. When it gets like this, the supporters of BOTH candidates make the candidates look bad.
Come on folks !!!!!!

More self pity from the masters of whining, spinning everything to make it look as if there is more sniper fire out there. Obama has shown far more class and maturity throughout. The calls for her to leave the race are based on facts of a poor showing by key metrics, and would be applied to any candidate with the same results. But the shameless Clintons will whine their way to Denver.

Obama is disrespecting all of the people who voted for him;presenting himself and his campaign as the agent of change. Checkout the Newsweek article titled “Obama’s Lobbyist Connection”

Just ask Howard Dean how he would have been treated if he denied saying what he said and made up stories about sniper fire while going broke and losing eleven contests in a row.
I seem to remember months of talk about how Hillary’s campaign was a tight ship, a disciplined, make no mistakes affair. This was the coverage even after she came in third in Iowa, even after her campaign sent out releases and agitated to close polls early in Nevada, even after her super Tuesday when her supporters had arranged a New Mexico caucus with nowhere near enough ballots (they “estimated” that they would need half the ballots of 2004), even after the third largest city in New Mexico, heavily Obama supporting Rio Rancho, had only one polling station, and an eight hour wait to write in your vote on any old scrap of paper only to have it disqualified later.
Even after this, even after Super Tuesday and South Carolina, the media called Clinton’s a “make-no-mistakes, tightly disciplined campaign.” Only when she lost eleven races in a row, when she went broke, when her husband started claiming the race card had been played on him when he said something stupid which Obama’s campaign did not not comment on, only then did the media’s coverage shift.
Only when she began to talk about sniper fire while attacking Obama for things he neither said nor heard did it shift. Only when Bill Clinton began wagging his finger and denying he said things he said on tape did the coverage shift. The Clintons had to work harder than any candidate in history to earn their negative coverage. Just ask Howard Dean how he would have been treated if he denied saying what he said and made up stories about sniper fire while going broke and losing eleven contests in a row.

its all about the money and the power to barack obama too!! or maybe you think he is running just because he cares about us!!!right get real!! he had his lawyers get every candidate for senate on the ballot in chicago removed so he would have no one to challenge him for the nomination!! shoulds like a good man huh???

Candylane: well if we are not willing to vote for a cry-baby i guess we will all just have to vote for john mccain because he is the only candidate that has not cryed!!
barack obama is a bigger cry-baby than hillary!!
really if you are going to say something bad about one of the candidates you should make sure your candidate of choice has not done the same thing!!!
barack obama said!!wah,wah everybody leave my wife alone wah,wah!!!

andy:Senator Obama has done nothing with grace, intellect or class.
please just keep on ignoring any thing bad about barack obama!! but bring up everything about hillary even if she’s not the one that did it or said it!!
some peeps want to play it both ways,rev.wright said that not barack,michelle said that not barack,but when it comes to hillary even if bill did it or said it lets blame hillary!!
did anyone bother to read michelle obama’s thesis paper?? i did and its down right hateful!! oh,but wait thats michelle not barack!! right???
barack is good!!barack is god!! barack has never said or done anything wrong or bad!! barack is god!! wow!!some people really have their heads stuck straight up their rears when it comes to barack obama!!!

It is fascinating to watch the Clinton’s implode with talk again of Conspiracy theories. They deserve to be out of the limelight forever

Andy: what be this change i keep hearing you people spout?? tell me what is he going to change????? how is he going to change it?????? if you post it and keep spouting it than you should be able to give me a really good clear cut answer!!! what is he going to change???? how is he going to change it??? how is he going to make the world a better place????????
is it just because he says he will???is it just because he promises change????
anyone can make all kinds of promises and give a good speach full of bull-crap but can they deliever in the end???
what is it that you know about this man that i don’t know??? please tell maybe i will have to change my opinion of him!! so do tell!!!

Given the gruelling pace that this primary is putting the two candidates through, it is surprising that more gaffes haven’t been made, and that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are still campaigning with such gusto! Bill Clinton is doing what most husbands riddled with guilt for past indiscretions do, he is supporting his ‘wife’ because it is what he must do to make up for all those times he was a philanderer and showed her no respect. If she were running as Hillary Rodham, instead of Hillary Clinton, her candidacy may have had more ‘punch’ and people in general would have had more admiration for a woman who defied the odds and rebuked her philandering husbands behavior. Hillary Clinton is a very insecure and therefore insincere person and as such, is not qualified to be President. Her problems have nothing whatsoever to do with Barack Obama, who has showed her more respect than anyone and continues to do so as he campaigns for the nomination… This makes him, by far, the most distinguished, dignified, wise, confident, strong and classy candidate to run for President in well over a generation. Let us all hope that he will be America’s President on inaugeration day January 2009 as he indeed brings new hope for a better America and the world..

This comment is for former president Clinton….I don’t think the media disrespected Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton ran a very negative campaign and consistently put her foot her mouth by saying and making issues out things that to people don’t even care about. Mr. Clinton you are the one who disrepected your wife…think about it…no pund meant.

Jordan – I will try to give you clear cut reasons that I support Obama. I’m not sure, however, it is an honest question on your part or simply a statement. If you are really interested: I support him because he has put together a winning, grass roots campaign and raised more money than any other candidate by doing so. A much larger percent of his money is from small donors than any other candidate. That alone takes organizational and leadership skills. It also shows he knows how to pick the right people and energize them. I have read his books and it is clear from them that he has a vision that I agree with. I also read Hillary’s book and it is clear that she and Bill set out to be President. It was only a question of who would make it first. I agree with Obama’s plan to get us out of the war. He said as “carefully as we were careless getting in”. That, and other statements, show that he is pragmatic, calm and thoughtful. I think he will LISTEN to other opinions and leaders. I don’t think that is something Hillary is good at. I am impressed at how he handled the Rev. Wright controvsey. He spoke honestly and directly to the American people. He didn’t throw the Rev. to the dogs at first, I feel, because of a sense of loyalty and respect. He later was forced to change that position but I believe it was a hurtful decision on his part. I like that he is a family man, who obviously cares deeply for his wife and kids. I respect his work as a community organizer in Chicago. (I lived in Chicago at the time and was aware of his work there.) I was very happy at the time when he ran for the Senate in Illinois. I feel he is a real example of how anyone can make it in this country. A bi-racial person from a divorced, one parent home – is not the formula for success in the USA. But Obama took advantage of every opportunity out there and is an example that if you are pragmatic, tenacious and work harding, success is possible. He is, I feel a natural born leader – this is obvious because he has inspired so many to support him. He was the clear underdog when this campaign started but is no longer the underdog. I don’t agree with a lot of his policies -he is too liberal in many respects for me……but so is Hillary. I just think it is more important to get someone that can inspire others and who will earn respect around the world. I think Obama is the best of the three persons running to do that. Does that help answer your question?

Hillary is the strongest and smartest candidate. She is awesome and if her supporters stay home in November or vote for McCain – Obama is toast!
Also, can some Obama supporter let me know the names of those additional seven states that Obama thinks we have? When do they hold thier primaries?
Answer please……..

ch, at least he didn’t repeat it over and over like the sniper fire in Bosnia.

I will be voting for McCain in the fall because of how Hillary Clinton has been treated.
Let the media, DNC, Howard Dean have Obama, but they can’t make me vote for him in the fall.
The primary has been crooked with the caucuses and superdelegates. I, also, read how Obama manipulated the Michigan ballots. Sorry, I have no interest in allowing the DNC manipulate me into voting for Obama.
I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA.

Yes, because it is completely inconceivable to the Clintons that a non white, non-working class candidate who has managed thus far not to be assassinated can earn the respect of the superdelegates on his own merits.
It is also inconceivable to the Clintons that many people just don’t buy their bullcrap comments that require an interpreter just to understand what they are really saying.
I still sense that the Clintons still feel entitlement in “getting something out of this.” Obama owes them nothing.
I am rather enjoying watching the Clintons self destruct in public.

it’s very simple, I vote for HRC in the Florida primary and if the DNC try to play some funny game with my vote, I may follow my governor and vote for McCain,maybe In just won’t vote, I don’t care about other problems and dreams , I want have the same security that I had on Bill Clinton years… please do not let thoses politics that don’t have votes or leadership dominate the country

can any Hillary supporters answer my question? Why shouls the rules be changed now.
It is on tape that the votes wouldn’t count!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact they didn’t need to count because she will have wrapped this up by FEB. 5TH.
Please tell me why????????!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Florida we can’t go back to the past. The world is completely different than it was under Bill.

Mia, Amen to that.

Mia: barack had the contest for the senate seat in Illinois rigged so its not to hard to believe he would rig any contest!!!

Why continue the campaign? Follow the money…
The key is to establish the notion of a close political loss at the hands of a flawed DNC process, a biased media and deception by her opponent. (Depending on their future relationship, she may seek to point blame at Bill as well.)
Why?
Pay off her debts ($20 million); another book deal for her “fans”; ($10 million) 4 years of speaking fees ($25 million); countless TV appearances on cable (to market her book, remain relevant); a technological soapbox via the web a la Huffington); consulting fees ($30 million); fundraising for a “new” Hillary Foundation ($100 million); Chesea’s entry into the “family business”.
Like promoting a rock-band brand, the Clinton’s are building brand equity with the label’s advance and other people’s money by staying in as long as possible. 2012 may look like too much work compared to playing “celebrity politics”. As Bill fades at the cash register, Hillary grabs the financial baton and keeps the money rolling in.
Just ask Al Gore.

Bill Clinton is absolutely right.
HRC’s main problem all along is that she isn’t a man.

Cry and cry ……loser………I can win booo whooo.
Game is over, clinton loser supporters!
cry babies :)

Not only has the”poor little matchgirl’ shtick gotten stale (as if Sen. Clinton were some naive street waif who has never entertained even a malicious thought let alone uttered a hostile word), but former president Clinton’s persistent narcissism chokes the political atmosphere like mustard gas. Obama won. Obama won because he is a better candidate with a better message with a better organization.
Carp all you want about media bias but if any other candidate were in Sen. Clinton’s position there wouldn’t be seat for her surrogates at the Sunday talk show table this late in the process. She has received far more free media than to which she is justifiably entitled –if Bill doesn’t like the quality of that coverage then he should go raise more money so as to better control the message

There is disrespect all around in a heated political campaign, unfortunately. I heard a comment from Maureen Dowd this weekend, which really struck home with me: that Hillary Clinton should be portraying herself as a trailblazer instead of a victim. So she isn’t going to win, but we now can all see a woman as president. She didn’t lose because she is a woman. Many of my female friends chose Obama because of his message. Though I am proud as a woman of Hillary’s candidacy, I have tired of her methods. She may stay in as long as she likes, she has earned that right, but she shouldn’t try to destroy everyone else on her way out.

Those of us who are democrates need to remember that! I am not so blind by the nonsense the media is saying that I lose sight of that.
No candidate is perfect. Non of the people around him/her are perfect. We need to focus on getting the republicans out of office before there isn’t much of America left.
Did anyone notice we are now sending $100,000 to North Korea in aid because of a train disaster? We still haven’t cleaned up New Orleans.
Did anyone notice that $165B was just earmarked for another year of war, while we are having a hard time putting gas in our vehicle? And what about those gas prices and food prices?
John Kennedy was inexperienced when he became president, but he wanted something better than what we had at the time. He made a difference.
We need better now. We have had too many years of hardship and heartache
under the republican plan.
Vote Democrat!

i do not care if it cost the dnc 500 million dollars they need to redo all of the voting in a fair unbiased campaign,no superdelegates should have come forward to support either candidate until all americans had their chance to vote,that is called trying to sway the public’s opinion,any superdelegates that have already pleadged their support before all states have voted should be stripped of the title of superdelegate,superdelegates are not needed until all voting is done and no nominee has reached the 2026 needed delegates!!
its bad enough that our news stations have been so biased in their attempts to uphold certain candidates,but its inexcusable for our senators and other public officals to try to force their wishes on us the american people,they are paid and elected by us to be our voice not to just make their own choice,we need to stand up to them and let them know their jobs are dependant upon our votes and if we do not approve of what they are doing they will not recieve the support of our votes in their future careers!!
i will continue to write to and email the dnc and encourage others to do the same so that they understand that we the people are not happy with their decision to pick our candidate for us!!!

These people think that if they say things, then they will come true. it’s more lies, but what else can we expect?
Hillary and Bill: if you lay down with dogs, you end up with fleas. And by fleas, I don’t mean delegates or superdelegates because Obama has 49 to your steady 246. Get the hint and drop out so we can fix the damage that has occurred.
The thing that I find ironic, is that Hillary wants to be seen as a strong woman; next she’s a victim who has been never been treated so disrespectfully just for being a woman.
What a load of crap! She’s at this juncture because she got herself there due to her disrespect of the system. Nobody respects her because she doesn’t respect her fellow candidate, the delegates and superdelegates, of even her voters.
Get out of the political system and stay out!

Billl Clinton was the best president we ever had and now they are treating him like dirt. Shameful!

Bill and Hillary both act as though no one is aware of anything. They can both speak lies, but people are far too intelligent to fall for it.
Now, Bill… got get me a drink.

I think that Barack Obama will win the primary, but as the general election goes, I dont think he has a chance. I am in California, which has been reliably democratic in the last four elections. However, now the numbers aren’t so good for democrats in California. California was heavily for Hillary Clinton during the primary and she is favoured heavily in the general. However, Arizona is our neighboring state and we have witnessed John McCain, coming over to dems side many times on the senate floor. So we do feel that John McCain knows what he is doing. Also John McCain has a very strong conservative bloc in California. Many would be surprised that there are plenty of conservative latinos and asians in California. And those two groups pushed Hillary Clinton into the winning arena for the primaries. So this will be a great fight for us Californians to see. Just last week, John McCain was in Stockton and I can tell you there, it was jammed pack full of Stocktonians of all races, different gender pools, everyone. And why did we go? Because we understood that he is not scared to walk acrosst he aisle to cast his vote. Barack Obama says that he does go across the aisle but his record begs him to differ. Us Californians were hit really ahrd with the economy problem and many pundits says we will vote for Barack Obama because he is our saviour, but the pundits has put their own feets in their mouths because now we are more cautious on whome we elect for office. We know investigate the candiates. John McCain is propositioning his economic plan and so is Barack Obama, but the economy comes with experience. I.E. Bill Clinton being governor and Hillary knowing the ins and out of the eocnomy.
And it is fact the media favoured Barack Obama from the beginning. And Hillary had no chance of winning over the media. It was a sexist campaign. The things he said about linking Hillary to Anne Oakley, ‘you are likable enough,’ ‘you are very divisive.’ Things like that are not htings to say to a woman because they have felt that throughout their whole lives.
Another point that I want to make it that Barack Obama supporters are going over the top in these issues because they are imply bullying people now. They are calling everyone left and right racist or stupid for voting for HIllary. Let me tell you that this person here writing this college educated and still young. However, I will not be bullied into voting for a candidate that i feel is not ready. And yes, I have been yelled at and bullied by Obama supporters. I believe that they brought him to rise and will eventually bring him down (It happened to George Bush).
Also, I was watching a Harry Potter film yesterday with my neice and starting connecting some things from the movie to this presidential cycle. I couldnt help notice that in a sense, Barack Obama was someone like Voldemort and his followers the Death Eaters. These Death Eaters area always bullying, saying harsh things etc. in order to their way. In a sense putting fear into people’s head by saying if you dont vote for Barack Obama you a racist, putting world in great peril, and saying you are uneducated. That is just my opinion. But think out of the box. Stand by your vote and vote for whom and what you believe in. I voted for Hillary because she supports gay issues more than Barack Obama. I voted for Hillary because she understands the economy. I voted for Hillary because she is the greater good. Once Barack Obam has proven to me that he knows how to work the government for hte benefit of the people, but substance behind his rheteoric then maybe I’ll consider voting for him in November, or John McCain. Hey Im a Republican….

Wow. Is Hillary the real Bush third term? Its inability to distinguish truth from fiction is amazing and the whining makes it worse. Hillary is losing because after spending its life in politics watching how campaigns were won, it chose to pay a lot of money to people who implemented an awful strategy. And in the end it will be my fault that it lost because Hillary has never been responsible for its shortcomings. It’s a vast right-wing, east coast latte sipping, African-American, media driven, non-white slasckers who don’t live in America conspiracy.

Drama, Drama, Drama…I agree 100% with Ex-President Bill Clinton…This is rediculious! Are you so blind and death that you can’t see or hear what has been going on since the first debates. FIRST..Obama cried wolf,(she’s being racist–Waa) when the topic arose about King–and she stated it still took a president & congress to pass that into law (teaching him how the American system works)which he should have known!! Then after that any way, shape or form the media would try to make a simple comment into a racial issue with the Clintons (Wolf-Waa)…However another well know person could state something and my God!–it was A-OK! Of course they were supporters of Obama-go figure?? NEXT, she better not show emotion or it will show signs of weakness…But if a man shows emotion its shows that he is human–sort of one way there guys!! Well she is human to and not a Robot!! THEN with the Kennedy comment–well most everyone (older) would remember that–and it was in June and canadiates were still active in the campaign and it is nothing new–But oh boy lets blow that out of preportion! (Wolf/Wolf…Waa) One reporter/writer states he has gotten in her mind and she really meant that she is waiting for Obama to be assassinated, so why should she drop out!! I wonder who he supports??
Talk about Debates…what about when Obama stated he would sit down with all these other top foreign officals freely…but Hilary stated there had to be certain protocalls layed down first..Oh yea, later Obama changed his tune and used Hilary’s term with it depends on this & that…He wants to apease you all–My God!-people take off the blinders…I have taken notes and the one who hides things until caught is Obama…Oh I never heard Rev Wright say such things…still he attended for 20 yrs and Rev. Wright said it all when he said Obama is playing politics and distancing himself, BUT behind closed doors Obama completely agrees with him.
He as no less that threatened the media that they best keep his wife out of it!!(Wolf-Foul-play–Waa) Well if Hilary’s spouse can be slamed-dunked so can the Mrs….fair game as I see it!! Now I wonder how long the media will look upon Obama stating some reporters as the reason for racial/hate crimes against Hispanics. Well wait a minute…why did he not add Rev. Wright on that list…oh yea that was promoting racial/hate towards the White government…could that also include white/hispantic/and etc….need I say more. Some people can really pull the wool over the eyes of others….then there are some that are not so easy to fool!!

say what:i agree with almost your whole post but i need more from barack obama before i can just give him my support!!
but right now i have to agree with ConcernedWorld.
Once Barack Obam has proven to me that he knows how to work the government for the benefit of the people,and puts some substance behind his rheteoric then maybe I’ll consider voting for him in November over John McCain.

true. she IS winning the electoral map bcuz barack is competing against a candidate in the primary voting process. mccain is the only choice for the republicans so his math has more of a calculus edge. however, if barack were not competing in this primary process and if hillary and bill were on board with barack that calculus would be more favorable for the democrats. this scenario had to have crossed their minds.

Jim: I agree. It’s time to move beyond the Bush-Clinton era. Like most Americans, I believe it’s time for positive change. That’s why I’m supporting Senator Barack Obama.
what is the positive change you speak of?? do tell!!

Bill Clinton has only spoken out what has been on the minds of millions of democrats. Shame on media. Shame on Obama. Shame on the Obamamaniacs.

History will show that the media played a powerful and bias favoritism for Obama in the 2008 primaries. Hillary, despite these obstacles has rallied strong in the end of the primary (Yes, her campaign has made mistakes too). I pray that the surge is enough and that Michigan and Florida votes will count(…and it should) and make Hillary the democratic nominee. History will show that super delegates need to be removed or diminished to a small select few. History will show that Caucus is an unfair way to vote candidates and must be re-tired. History will show that Hillary, the more experienced, proven candidate was unfairly treated by the male dominated media who was not ready for a strong female president. But, regardless what happens, Hillary has opened up opportunities for women in the world of politics. Hillary 2008 or beyond!

Why do we care about the primary voting of Puerto Rico and Guam? I’m sure they’re lovely places, but do they pay taxes and vote in our general election? Did we add more states while I was sleeping? I thought Obama made a mistake with 57!

Marilyn, you stated this well the pro-media treatment of Obama. Back in the 2000 and 2004 election, the media didnt do their job and allowed Bush to slide to the presidential seat. They are doing this again with Obama.
Mary

THe process begines in Iawa and ends in the Convention when the deligates vote. I agree Hillary has made some mistakes that may cost her the nomination, but most of you who do not see how the media is “shaping” public oppinion in Obama’s favor do not realize your being manipulated. I do not say that for Hillary or against obama, just against “YOU” and the media!!!

Don’t forget, until very recently, Bill Clinton was the defacto leader of the Dems. That’s now Obama’s job, and Slick Willy isn’t dealing well with this power shift. He’s much less concerned with his wife’s campaign than he is with his own stature in the party.

say what:
your right but still we want the same thing a better america!!
You have a Great Memorial Day!!
its been great chatting with you!!!

Bill’s ability to keep the money pouring in is beginning to fade.
Hillary’s political celebrity can be cashed in no matter what happens. The longer the campaign, the stronger the brand.
It’s valuable to view the Clinton’s through the prism of self-interest and complete lack of ethical concerns.

The will of the voter means nothing to Obama supporters Hill. won Mass,won W.V. by 41% won N.M yet Kennedy,Kerry,Byrd,Rockafeller and Richardson endorsed Obama(just to name a few)The Gov of Okla. hen asked how he could go against his sstates voters who voted for Hill 55-31 for Hill. He said”as a Super he had the right to jvote the way he felt best”

For anyone who is disgusted about the way Hillary was treated during this campaign, we also need to be aware of the superdelegates in office who endorsed Obama and campaign against them as well in order they get voted out.

Poor, poor Hillary. Maybe they will be nice to her when she returns to the Senate. Those mean old boys just were not nice to her on the campaign trail, and they did not show respect for her

Most of us Clinton supporters agreee with President Clinton about how Hilairy has been treated, we do not dislike Obama but do not like the Meda jamming him down our throats. The resentment comes from being called names , like ignorant uneducated rascist, that may drive a wedge and keep us from voting for him.

I will freely admit that I’m an Obama supporter. That being said, there is no harm in standing by for a couple of weeks as this process finds its natural conclusion. When any sports team is behind with only minutes to go…they don’t walk off the field and quit. They play until the last tick of the clock. Pretending that she has been “forced out” won’t work if she stays ’till the end. The result will be the same. Every contest has a winner and a loser and while the end is in sight and most folks can see easily forecast the result…just be polite and let the process bring the natural conslusion. No harm!

I’m a lifelong Democrat, in California, and he are four facts from where I sit.
First – Hillary has run a terrible campaign, and Bill’s performance has not helped her.
Second – She has been verbally abused, mostly by the Republicans, but also by Democratic Obama supporters in a way that would absolutely not be tolerated if the attacks had been on Obama.
Third – This is a centrist country, and Obama is a liberal on his voting record. McCain is closer to the center than Obama. That plus his “negotiation without preconditions” remark will make it hard for him in November.
Fourth – Hillary has won something like 15 million primary votes and deserves to be asked to be VP. Obama will likely not do that since it will greatly upset his supporters, and they believe that Hillary’s supporters will vote Democratic in the fall. But some, possibly me, won’t forgive the arrogance of his campaign (not him) and have enough reservations that they will vote Republican.

Thank you PeterT for posting the closest thing to an accurate count of the Hillary Clinton vote that I have seen yet. You must have taken out the 7% of the Operation Chaos votes — votes that will not materialize in the general.
Obama ’08!

I’m a Hill supporter from Fla. Obama fought not to have my vote count. I can vvote for Mccain because the Dems will have a huge majority in congress and Mccain will have little power.

I submitted an application to change affiliation from Democratic to Independent and I am advising Women, Hispanics, and elderly to do so immediately. See how the super-delegates start to move toward Hillary when they realize that they holding “COLD #######” in their hand.

Hillary claims to have more popular votes but she doesn’t count all the caucus states that Obama won!!!! You can’t count caucus votes with any degree of accuracy so the whole popular vote argument should be thrown out the window.

Oh no! It’s a waste left-wing conspiracy!

Still all for HRC all the way. If she is not on the ticket for prez, I will write her name in.
She is the most qualified, most articulate, best able to think on her feet, the only one able to clean the Bush dung out of 1600 Pennsylvania.

The fact is, people don’t like Queen Hillary.
While Bill and Hillary are talking about sexism, I have a few questions.
Once Hillary becomes president, is she going to stop sexual discrimination in the Military Draft?
I ask you, why must my son register for the draft when your daughter does not have to? This is sexual discrimination to its fullest. Why must men be required by law to go and fight for their country when women are allowed to sit at home and watch reality shows on TV. Women have the same civil rights as men but women are not required to fight for them. Will Hillary stop this sexual discrimination in our federal government?
How about sexual discrimination in our courts? Why is it presumed that a female will be a better parent than a male? Why do men have to prove that a mother is unfit as a parent in order to obtain custody of his child? Is Hillary going to change this when she is elected president?
Why are men given more servere sentences than a woman when they both commit the same type of crime? Is Hillary going to change this when she is elected president?
Will Hillary stand up for equal rights for men as well as for women?
I don’t think so.

Bob the Govs. fo Fla. and Mich. wanted a revote and the Gov of N.J. said he would get the funding.Obama’s people nixed it. Now they are trying to kiss up to us.

Bill Clinton is absolutely right. There has been a bias against Hillary since Iowa. The media tried to annoint BO right after Iowa and New Hampshire said no. So has Ca., NY, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, arkansas, Kentucky and WV to name a few!!!! All the states that the Democrates need to win the General. democrates also need the working class, Catholics, seniors, the Jewish and most of all the biggest voting block of all WOMEN. These are not BO supporters and the reason is because he lacks experience, substance and ELECTABILITY. We do not want another Republican like Bush in the White House and McCain is NOT BUSH! McCain is his own man and has experience, substance and with Hillary Supporters ELECTABILITY.

ivan fyi – the votes have not all been counted yet. who is to say, who is losing with grace or not. you see how you are and what i mean? pushy pushy pushy.
just settle down and let everyone have their chance…
you can do that, right?

Wow, I am impressed. Scanning the posts here, it seems people are getting tired of the Clintons.
I don’t support any candidate just yet, but have watched the fascinating transformation of the Clinton campaign! It is refreshing to see people calling it like it is…that the Clintons are trying everything possible to remain relevant and in the race.
For me, the tipping point was this weekends news item about a poll suggesting that more people would vote for an African American over a woman. Hillary called this sexism and said she was fighting for women everywhere bla bla bla. It was a POLL darling…people were asked questions…they answered the questions…simple. For Hillary, they answered incorrectly and therefore its sexism against her!!
Just like Hillary will seek to re-educate the DNC this week about how to count delegates and how to interpret the popular vote…she will press them to see her in the special light she casts for herself. She is a fascinating woman, with a fascinating husband, and is suffering from a simple, self-inflicted wound….the absulute underestimation of her opponent. That simple error has forced her own hand all through the race, and continues to do so.
Its over darling.

Hey, don’t try and tell us Hillary supporters that we shouldn’t vote for McCain. After all, Obama sings the praises of Republicans & Repub presidents and trashes WJC, the only two-term Dem President we’ve had in eons. Obama has run a very divisive campaign and he will reap what he sowed. If anyone should drop out now, it’s Obama.

We have never had a female president.(NEWS)
I hope no one has given serious thought of it being a slam dunk.
Such a bastion of male dominance is going to do all it can whether consciously or unconsciously to make a female wish she had never raised her bowed head.
I am a female and I would support a female table if she had the nerve to stand up to status quo.
Hillary has more grit and tenacity, more brains than anyone running. I hope she wins but if she does not, I will support Obama completely.

Why do the Clintons keep forgetting that Obama’s name was not on the Michigan ballot!! Hillary won Florida but a lot of people, like me, voted for her because they did know much about Obama. If the vote in Florida was today I think it would be a lot different.
The young people are for Obama- they are the ones that will have to pay for Bush’s war for the nest 20-30 years. Let them have the President they so desperately want!!

HEY BILL, MUST BE THAT “VAST RIGHT-WING” CONSPIRACY AT IS AGAIN. YA THINK?

The Clintons are now officially a joke. Last time around they wanted the caucuses to count; this time they don’t want the caucuses to count. Last time they just loved MoveOn; this time they hate it. Last time they were happy to have 91% of the black vote; this time it’s all about, “hard-working Americans- white Americans.” One thing can be said about these two conniving, ego-driven, low-class clowns, :They sure know how to change with the times.

What is more interesting than Clinton’s comments will be the reaction to them. Clinton’s words would mean nothing if Obama had this nomination sewn up. The untold secret (untold mostly by the media), however, is that this race is FAR from over. Obama knows there is no way he can claim the nomination and look past the voters in Michigan and Florida. And super delegates know that voters will punish them if they do not honor their will. It’s going to get more interesting — and difficult for Obama — before this thing is over. Count on it.

order – question:
where did you hear that the Clinton’s were a “political machine?”
perahps, your comments could be an illustration of “case in point” – the media: represented a situation in their ususal distorted fashion -
good heavens – could it be?
and, “daddyblue” where did you get your facts from? exactly what percentage of limbaugh voters have cast their ballots, overall, in favor of hillary?
if you don’t have facts to substantiate your claims – what do you have? me thinks, media spinning in your heads…
support your claims with facts.

*SIGH* Nobody denied anybody the right to vote. Everybody’s vote will be counted. This is a delegate race, so as long as the delegates from MI and FL are seated in some fashion (50/50), what is the problem? I’ll tell you the problem…
Florida and Michigan started out by attempting to make their votes count MORE THAN EVERY OTHER STATE’S.
FL and MI disrespected the rest of the states with their pompousness and quest for power. Think of the rude people pushing their way to the front of the line while the civilized people waited our turn. They were warned in advance that they would be penalized if they didn’t follow the rules. If FL and MI are allowed to stand as counted without any penalty, their power-play succeeds.
FL voters ought to give up the “balance of power” strategy they’ve adopted for in their state so that the Republicans don’t get to decide when their primaries take place. However, their Democratic leadership was on board with the power play move to vote out of turn.
MI’s delegates will also be seated, but with penalty. The committee that gets to decide about how MI delegates will be seated is stacked to favor Hillary — they are mostly her supporters and have been from the very start.
Hillary (and her supporters) rigged this trump card for herself from the start and is only calling for the change because Hillary needs to face. She needs to win “something” since she can’t win the nomination — sort of like a “booby prize” win to soothe her ego.
I would like to see her deal with her bruised ego without using MI and FL as pawns and dividing the Democratic party in the process. She lost. FL and MI lost full delegate standing BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THEIR STATE TO VOTE FOR COMPETENT LEADERSHIP on the local level.
WHY SHOULD THE ENTIRE COUNTRY ALLOW PEOPLE WHO CANNOT PUT COMPETENT LEADERSHIP IN PLACE ON THEIR OWN LOCAL LEVEL DECIDE WHO THE HELL THE WHOLE COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE FOR PRESIDENT?
Obama ’08!

hopeful Don’t make Obama greater than he is. The govs. of Fla & Mich pushed for a revote.(Fla Gov. is a Repb.)The Gov of N.J. said he would raise the money and the Obama people nixed it.How can he come down here and face us.

made inMichigan,
NO IT COULDN’T BE !!
I have heard the term “Clinton Machine” not only in the media but also from people that work for her campaign IN MY CITY !!
Just like at an Obama rally, some of his people used the term “Obama-Nation”
What’s the big deal, they’re just terms. The bottom line is that the Clintons and their supporters expected to just waltz into the nomination and now they are angry and hurt…PERIOD !!!

Torch, I agree that Hillary would have made a fantastic president. She should be leading by a wide margin if it were not for the liberal party bosses and the media. Obama is winning by hype and I sincerely hope he does not win the GE. There is nothing, absolutely nothing in his resume to let us know that he will lead our nation to prosperity. With people like Putin, Chavez and Ahmedinejad and along with Obama’s lack of vision and inability to think on his feet, this only means were he to win, we as a nation will be in a dire state. There is so much challenge. I would rather see status quo than get into a far worse situation. I will be one of the many who would rather have a republican than a liberal Obama. It almost scares me to think that life under Bush-Chaney may seem prosperous than life under Obama! This for me is not about race but about our economy and our safety. What a nightmarish situation.

T, I believe you are wrong. Do your research. It is my understanding that everyone believed initially their delegates/ votes would count no matter what.

to “T”:
Obama said he would not and did not campaign or fundraise in Florida. Yet he did both IN PERSON and also advertised. I’ll try to post the url for you tube here (or at least the last part) which shows Obama campaigning in Tampa, Florida.
I point this out because there has been a lot of dishonesty and misrepresentation from the Obama camp. Also there were TWO other states that upped the dates of their primaries and they were not penalized. There’s something quite corrupt here, and this is NOT the first time. The PEOPLE are sick of it. And even if you are the most die-hard Obama supporter, you should be protesting it too. This strikes deep at the heart of the very thing which holds our democracy together – the right to vote, and the right to have our votes counted. If we let political bosses continually tamper with this process, and they see they can get away with it, you can be sure dictatorship is right aroung the corner, no matter how they cloak it.
People, please wake up, this is much bigger than eitther Hillary or Barack. It’s about US. It’s about freedom. And even in the clip url above, Obama speaks soaringly of politics trumping principle – but now when his words are put to the test, his principles are no where to be found, and he too is working to suppress the vote.
Actions speak louder than words.

ok – i will conclude my thoughts for today -
it is clear to me, many commenters do not support their theories, grievances, or commnents with factual material. just more anger and divisive language.
you appear to be the puppets and the media is the puppet master, as most of teh crap that is spewed there is repeated here. and, they are not challenged to substantiate their punditry or give credentials for their expertise.
it is simply a shame. the likes of these bottom feeders are influencing without regard – our election process.
unlike hillary, i do not know enough about obama to credit him with anything except, eloquence. that is all i can say – he delivers a good speech.
however; i have also seen him, as duplicitous. he wanted it to be enough: speaking without having a record to found his words on – until, he was caught plageurizing.
then, he wanted it be good enough that he had the best judgment, until rev. wright surfaced and he happens to be the one person, obama thought highly enough to dedicate his book in honor of – after a a seventeen year relationship
then, when that was not workable for him – he wanted to be the racial “healer” and, reconcile the past with the present. to have us understand the bitterness of the racial divide of old with the hope that he represents. but, oops.. the rev called him out on this too. so he severed himself from the rev and turned his attention to -
trade vs. free trade – he sides with the idea that he will renegotiate the agreements, but then, his surrogate rushes to canada to assure them that he is just making political speeches. its’ all good.
foreign affairs…
he offers to give the presidential nod to terrorist groups and heads of state, but not to negotiate w/ the rev forever more…
he, personally, does not think anyone should hold him accountable for his past mistakes, but —
wants to follow the rules as far as MI and Fla. are concerned. come on!!!
he promises to provide democracy for cuba, while denying the votes in Mi and Fla.
he is a strategist: he thinks everyone will forget and just want to vote democratic in the fall. he thinks he can say and do anything and be held harmless for it.
he wants to persecute bill clinton and pedestalize his wife.
are you really buying this? it’s a game.
you need to think for yourselves. and, be willing to see /hear the facts.
obama is inconsistent. he says one thing and does a 180. how can he be trusted? blind faith? whose? as, according to him, the religious are simple “bitter”. these are his words and actions.
it is what is available to make an informed decision.
tell me something else he has said and done that make him a candidate worthy of my vote, of representing our country?
give me an illustration of anything….anything. if you cannot – you better start thinking.
tell me something he has done to prove himself. c’mon – any employer would ask for credentials, background, experience… we are his employers. you don’t have to feel guilty a bout asking for the information that will allow for the best information to make the decision.
if he is not qualified, why vote for him? why? how have you become convinced of his legitimacy. how is his platform different from Hillary’s? so, what is the reason -
could it be -
the media ? maybe they actually have portrayed false sense of him as their chosen golden boy? and, all they need to do – is get rid of hillary to make themselves, a winner.
this has become a contest of personalities and fashion. media driven: it has been a slash and burn witch hunt.
be that as it may, the main thing is-
this appraoch is costing us our rights. and, for what – to nominate someone who is not experienced or qualified or demonstrated one ounce of the conviction, he espouses.
- what a waste.
obama’s biggest mistake was counting out the voters in Michigan and Florida (x3). it speaks volumes about him.

The DNC used tough love on Michigan and Florida. To appease Iowa, Nevada and New Hampshire for moving up their dates. Obama never put his name on the ballot in Michigan once again to appease Iowa, Nevada , and New Hampshire. Like he would appease talking to leaders of countries with terrorist states. He needs Michigan and Florida to beat McCain, but will except them to the convention only after he gets the nomination, once again using the dirty politics he learned in Chicago. If you can’t beat them wipe them out by any means. Obviously most American have not bother to see all the facts surrounding Mr. Obama’s political career in Chicago/Illinois. The donations for state funded benefits.

I am sick of the media and the ignorant ultra liberals in the Demo party trying to force Barack Obama on us. He doesnt represent the middle classes and he looked awfully uncomfortable sipping on that budweiser light while trying to garner middle calls white and blue collar workers. We do not identify with him. He is all talk . Hes done nothing of worth other than give some great speeches but talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words and his actions combined with his associations with some shady characters, plus his racist wife and preacher show me that he is not to be trusted with the security of the United States. If he had been vetted properly months ago instead of being treated like the prom king by the media Hillary would have clinched the nomination by now. How sad that many Americans are bewitched by this Pied Piper

The Democrat process is flawed, alright! How else can you win red caucus states, wine and dine and pay for superdelegate endorsements before the convention, destroy the votes cast by two significant states, press the candidate with the most votes to get out of the race long before most of the states have held their primaries, and then say the people have spoken? What a joke! With the major networks building a case for Obama, while denigrating Hillary, and the DNC not rectifying their colossal mistake in punishing the voters of Michigan and Florida, one has to wonder what this Party is about. It makes the Republicans look so much more efficient and wise.
You cannot say that the majority of the voters who voted in the primaries have no other choice but Obama. We sure as heck do, and we are going to prove it.

I think it’s time for her to get out now – With him whining conspiracy and her invoking the tragedy of the Kennedy assasination – they’re reaching and just starting to make themselves look foolish more than anything.

Now the Clinton supporters are against the US Constitution and the FREE PRESS.
What next are they going to complain about.
If you want Hillary to be your president, then why don’t all you Clinton supporters move to Russia where there is no such thing as a free press. Then you can vote for Hillary without any hassel from the press and she can be president of Russia.
As for me, I’m planning on buying a ticket to Denver to protest against Hillary at the convention. Unlike the Clintons, I am for Free Speech and Freedom of the Press.
The Clintons have came along way since their hippie days when they were infavor of Free Speech and Freedom of the Press. Of course now they filp flop day by day depending what is in their favor.

COME JUNE 3, 2008, HILLARY’S CAMPAIGN WILL BE OVER! Hillary ran a poorly managed campaign and that is why she lost! She barely won Texas (even though Obama got more delegates) because of Rush Limbaugh’s operation chaos, the same in Indiana. She went negative with the “kitchen sink” strategey, which was negative lies straight out of Karl Rove’s playbook! She stooped to the cardinal sin of stating that she and McCain were qualified to be president while her democratic opponent, Obama, was not. She transformed the battle from the issues and created a racial wedge with her words and actions over “hard working white people!” She circulated images of Obama that fed into false rumors that he is muslim, even though he is christian. Hillary, who I began the race supporting and for her husband, who I voted for twice, has 100% let me down in a shocking way! She makes Karl Rove look like bambi! She and Bill should BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES for the way they have abused their supporters and the democratic party. The only proper response is that on June 4, all of the superdelegates should slam dunk her, McAuliffe, and her whole, lying, kitchen sink, waterboarding campaign and be done with this mess!

Kitchen sink…Swiftboating….Waterboarding…. all judgment issues of a similiar “we can bend or stretch or push the rules to the limit” type of mentality. Hopefully, Obama won’t have to let everyone see the TELEPHONE POLES in Hillary and McCain’s eyes. Obama has the right judgment and temperament to be the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF… both Hillary and McCain actually frighten me! No one was surrounded by more years of experience than GW Bush (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Wolfowitz, Rice, Ashcroft, etc.); but, experience without judgment is useless. Which is why it is noteworthy that Obama had to judgment to be against this war from the beginning.

Well there goes Bill whinning again that same old theme song Po Po Hillary.
Bill can’t seem to remember that He & Hillary have spent the better part of the campaign bitterly bashing Obama, Reverend Wright, The African Americans, & most all of the minorities in this country.
Every chance they get its trying to pit white against black, latino against black. white against white, black against black, hispanic against hispanic. Anything that works to divide, polarize, or cripple our country.
While most of us blue collar & low income voters have been working hard to achieve the American Dream. Hillary & Bill have made a fortune (110,000,000 dollars) by scheming the American People out of a fortune. Another Slick Willie trick.

You know, I blame Obama (the “Uniter”, remember) for stirring up all this hatred and racial discourse and distaste for the Clintons. The colored race liked them until he started shaking things up. I hope he loses soundly in November. I am a democrat but, see trouble with cocky arrogant Obama as president. I have a tremendous fear of it. He is a true “divider” and has stirred up nothing but trouble since he came on the scene. Hillary has worked her heart out and would make a good peresident and bring this country around to good times again, Obama is just for the colored race, does not like white people and will do much damage through foolishness and inexperience. I will vote Republican, Liberatarian, or not vote at all before I would have a vote for him on my conscience. I can imagine most of these mean spirited and ignorant comments are coming from the black people he has emboldened. If he gets in office, look out!! If you think Bush
is bad, just wait, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Bill Clinton is absolutely RIGHT!

Why does Bill Clinton get this attention from the press every day? Makes no sense. He spoke to a crowd of 200? That’s not a crowd. 80,000 is a crowd. The press needs to ignore this ignoramus Clinton dinosaur.

obama supporters you all agree with me right??? if they were to redo the voting process barack would win right??
we ain’t got nothing to be afraid of so bring it on barack can beat her highness again!!!!

mohsin: you agree with me right?? barack would still win even if they redo all of the voting right??

Joy Long ago the Gov of N.J. stated he would get funding for a revote.The Repb Gov of Fla. and the Gov of Mich. both poushed for the revote.The Obama people wouldn’t go along. About money Obama has outspent Hillary 3-4 to 1 he is the best candidate money can buy.

I always enjoy seeing how Bill and Hillary supporters say that Obama is unelectable and Clinton would do so much better against McCain. If that were true, wouldn’t she be winning right now against Obama?
I just dont understand. I will just bang my head against a table and loss a few brain cells and maybe then it will make sense.

It all depends on what the definition of the word “is” is….

The majority of the country wont admit it; because I think that people actually ENJOY knocking Hillary down, but President Clinton is actually right. The simple and sad truth of it all is that if Senator Hillary Clinton were a man, NO ONE would be telling her to get out of the race early. Imagine if the nominees were Sens. Dodd and Biden. Two white men. At this point, NO ONE would be telling either to “give it up”! Sadly, its because 1.] Senator Hillary Clinton is a WOMAN, and 2.] Senator Barack Obama is a BLACK [sort of] MAN. There, I said it. That felt good.

Probably the most disrespectful act was the Clinton’s offering Obama the VP slot after he took the lead from HRC a couple of months ago.
HRC could very well have won the nomination had she treated others with respect, run an organized campaign and continued to present her positive qualities.
HRC started out with the democratic establishment, Bill’s connections, a superdelegate lead in early Jan ’08. How can anyone think she didn’t have the backing of the organization. How could anyone possibly self destruct with such an early advantage ?
It has been stupidity (on the part of the Clintons) rather than mysogyny that has lost HRC the nomination. Too many sour grapes, too much blaming others, especially men for HRC’s foolishness.
Stop blaming men for HRC’s plicht, it was caused by a woman, one woman, HRC. If you want to pin some of the blame on a man, blame Bill.

phillypaul says
“the vast majority of young people were there because the Obama campaign promoted a free concert with a popular local Washington band. THAT, in a nutshell, is all we really need to know about Senator Barack Obama folks.”
Whats wrong with, sounds like some damn good marketing to me. Tells me Obama has his act together and knows how to promote himself and get people involved. At least hes not 20 mil in the hole. Just imagine if Hillary had access to the US economy and budget. YIKESSS! She cant even manage the money in her campaign.

Hillary Clinton is the most capable candidate running. The Republicans do not want her as the candidate which is understandable. That certain Democrats do not want her is naive.
Barack Obama is a good man – I have no doubt of that – but the political professionals in Washington will render him ineffective.

yeah right bill, so hillary is the only one the media hates????
where was he when the other candidates where getting their fair share of media bashing………….he should count himself lucky that the media was so kind not to bring up issue’s from their past

Sour Grapes ?
Sore loser ?
No – Just reality hitting home.
Just because you are the spouse of a popular former President does not mean that you are qualified to lead our nation.
America is a Democracy – Not a Monarchy
and the Clinton’s just had that spelled out for them – plainly and clearly.

Hillary has been no more disrespected than anyone else. She has done herself more harm simply by her own claims, half-truths, and misspoken comments. Bill of all people, should know the scrutiny an individual undergoes when putting themselves out there to run for the Nation’s highest office.
Even if Hillary were to gain a larger share of the popular vote, the individual states’ demographics dictated the appportionment of the delegates based on each state. Bill should also know, that historically, it is and has been possible for someone to win the popular vote in the general election, but fail to garner the necessary electoral votes to win the election. So, Bill and Hillary, even if Hillary does succeed in winning the majority of the popular vote does not necessarily entitle her to win the nomination. First, the Florida and Michigan primary elections will always have asterisks to show that Hillary’s wins in these states were like a baseball player on steriods hitting a record number of homeruns in a season.
Second, the best prepared candidate was oobviously Obama. He made no assumptions about his campaign and planned to stay for the long haul, well beyond the Feb 5th date that Hillary assumed would clinch her to be the presumptive nominee.
Finally, poor planning, poorer strategy, and even poorer financial management of her campaign has made her look less capable of being in charge of anything, much less being President. She has not shown herself to be presidential in any manner.

mohsin
You have it spelled out perfectly .. I did not even read your comments when I typed mine .. the Clintons seem to take it for granted that only un-educated Americans support them!!

I thought, according to the Clinton campaign, that complaining about the political process was called “whining.” And those who engage in “whining” are obviously not tough enough to be in the race in the first place.

I like both Clinton and Obama. I think Clinton is the correct nominee at this point in time for three reasons.
First, it doesn’t matter which one gets the nomination. The turnout just in the caucuses for either of them is amazing (in CO, for example, we had over an order of magnitude increase over the states previous best) and when the party joins behind one or another they have the general election in the bag. So “who will run better vs McCain” isn’t really an issue imo.
Second, I’d like Obama to get more experience before assuming the office. I’m not saying he couldn’t do a great job now. I’m saying that with 4 – 8 years more experience he could do an even better job. If we play him now we cheat ourselves of the opportunity to see what he could do with some more experience under his belt.
Third, after Bush’s borrow-and-spend rampage through the national finances, I really want someone to reinstate Bill Clinton’s “Pay as you go” policies regarding national spending which Hillary has pledged to do. Under Bill’s management the Debt almost completely stopped increasing and was about a year away from shrinking when Bush got a hold of the national credit card. Hillary was part of that process and knows how to do it again.
Though it will be harder now that we have roughly triple the national debt that we had when W took office.
Basically, I think there is a shot of 16 years with a democrat in the oval office if we run Clinton now and then follow up with Obama. But I don’t think it’ll work the other way round.

Rules … I was against ignoring Florida and Michigan from day 1 personally. Its a stupid rule. Disenfranchising the voters in that state because a couple people moved the dates around is ludicrous. John and Jane Q public didn’t agree to move the dates up and lose their votes. It was done to them and it wasn’t remotely fair.

SamtheCat Obama can not hit 2026 your comment is irrelevant. Obama is unelectable. You should be helping open the eyes of the Hierarchy of the DNC. If they nominaye barack, McCain will win the White House.

I will write Hillary on the ballot, even if my vote is lost. Would never vote for Obama.

I HOPE HILLARY GETS IN BECAUSE SHE RUN THE US WHEN BILL CLINTON WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE SHE CAN DO THE JOD LEAVE HER ALONE LET HER RUN THE RACE.

Sam the Cat-
It is like talking to a wall, but you are out there, so hope is not entirely lost, there are folks like you, who are rational and support the Democratic platform.
I agree with your points, Hillary could be a good add if she shores up Obama’s weak points. But there is a ick factor with someone who has been so vocal and negative against him.

I’ll take an embellishment of an actual event anytime over someone publicly stating they view the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization which was in part what Kyle Lieberman was about, so he’s on record as supporting that. Then when the vote comes up he doesn’t show and why? He had a rally. Nope, that didn’t turn out to be true. So his next excuse was that he didn’t know they’d be voting on it that day. Of course Obama does have an extremely poor voting record in having only shown up for 82% of his votes in comparison to Clinton’s 93% (McCain is down there with Obama at 83%) but this vote was a pretty big one, the equivalent of the Irag vote only for Iran. Either way, Obama clearly intentionally doesn’t show up to vote and then has the audacity to attack those who voted “yes” about a week later when he couldn’t even get his sanctimonious behind to the Senate to cast a vote. But he was smart, new politics guy that he is, in that if Bush attacks Iran this fall as predicted then he can say his judgement was that we shouldn’t have done this and that he wouldn’t have supported Kyle LIeberman, Too bad though, he had the opportunity this time (unlike the Iraq vote) to show us exactly what his judgement was but he couldn’t show up to vote. So you’ll need to take the leap of faith and trust that he would have voted as he said even though his prior public statements would indicate he most likely wouldv’e voted “yes”. So sorry, an embellishment of a Bosnia trip in my mind is not even in the same category as a vote that could open up the door to an attack on Iran. Clinton voted “yes” and as I said she showed up and was willing to take the flak and I should mention Clinton and Webb sponsored a bill a week later saying that Bush could not go into Iran without the approval of Congress. So you can get hung up on Bosnia stories just like others will get hung up on flag lapel pins but I’m alot more interested in their record on issues that are of relevence to this Country.
And the Obama scam on Kyle Lieberman says volumes that concern me alot more than embellishing an event that occurred, it’s like the big fish story.

Derek I want a Democrat. Obama is not a Democrat. He has his own extremist agenda.

Torch,
“Hopeful, the differnce is that Hillary’s plan will provide legal protections against such game playing by the insurance companies. Do you remember when this all started?”
There is no such thing as a legal protection against game playing. Either the insurance company pays your doctors/hospital bills or they don’t. Since they don’t without a bunch of hassle and screwing up people’s credit (like the rogue blackmailers they are), enough of us have figured out that health insurance isn’t worth it.
Enough of us know that health insurance offers no assurance of getting medical bills paid, so we’ve “opted out”. But, now that we, the consumers, are beginning to make a statement that gets the healthcare industries attention, Hillary wants to roll that progress back by making it illegal for us to reject overpriced insurance that offers no assurances.
Hillary is protecting the health care industry’s CEOs and doctors, not us. What next? Mandatory legal plans so that the lawyers can keep getting paid?
And as far as “remember when” goes… I remember when Hillary Clinton told that big bald-faced lie about the woman who lost her baby because she didn’t have health insurance. Talk about ambulance chasing and not properly vetting “stories” before stumping!
I also remember when Obama said his plan is not mandatory. His reason for stating that he didn’t want it to be universal just yet (affordability) let me know that he’s done his homework AND he’s in touch with working class people’s issues.
Take care.
Obama ’08!

Clinton should quit all this whining. If he can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. And take that daughter and wife with him. It is getting so that I can’t stand to see their whining lying mugs on TV any more.

Debbie – Actually, it’s only about 30% of the Democrats who still beleive she’s in it for them. The rest of her votes are coming from Republicans who don’t want McCain to have to face Obama in the General Election.

Disrespect? If there is any disrespect it has been brought on by Hillary and the disrespectful campaign she and Bill have run against Obama. Shameful. Obama/2008

There’s no conspiracy. People want her out because she’s a poor reflection on the party. When you make comments that she is winning in the popular votes and if you don’t count Florida and Michigan, that is the reason people want her out. She agreed to the Florida and Michigan rulings when she thought she would win handily, now she needs them and is crying foul. YES, the Democrats need those 2 states, and the only way they’ll get them is if she stops trying to divide the party over them.

Man, talk about sore losers! People’s true character comes out during times of adversity!
At first, it seemed like the Clintons would do the right thing by toning down the negative rhetoric and winding down the campaign. What do they think they’re doing at this point? I didn’t want to believe them, but at this point I think there is some truth to the conspiracy theories of how Hillary wants to undermine Obama so that she can run again in 2012.
For the Clintons, it’s always me, me, me, and screw the party.

Re-enter the “Hillary the Victim” strategy.
It’s the media. It’s Obama. It’s sexism.
The pattern is oh too familiar: (1) Say tsomething provocative. (2) take it back after the seed has been planted. Then (3) accuse the Obama people (who’ve been careful not to retaliate in kind) of “piling on.
Whatever happened to “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the proverbial kitchen?”
The tragedy in all this isn’t simply that the Clintons are dragging Sen. Obama, the media and the political process down.
It’s the damage they’re doing to themselves.

I campaigned and raised money and voted for Bill C in 90 and 94. When he finished his office I concluded he was the greatest disappointment of all the presidents (12) I have lived under. (I expected nothing from Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Bush.)
I would like to support Hillary, but both Clintons have exhibited desperation to get back into the White House.
My conclusion: Obama = class; Clinton = crass.

i wish some of you people would read the rules of this current campaign…popular vote has ZERO to do with this just like in the GE…nothing. so what if she keeps counting the votes from two disqualified states, it doesn’t matter and she agreed to the rules in the beginning like everyone else. if she has such ‘great concern’ about how the citizens of FL are being treated like the citizens in Zimbabwe she should have spoke up before the election wasn’t going her way…one interesting thing is that she doesn’t seem to care about 500,000+ Independents that can’t even vote in the FL primary, what’s up with that…aren’t they like the citizens in Zimbabwe too? or is it just the people that voted for her??? would she be trumpeting this “injustice” if she was the favored candidate? i think we all know the answer to that…i was for hillary at first until she turned in to a scum bag like bill, more clintonian BS…i wish the clintons and the bush family would disappear…enough is enough, they both have ruined this place with their corporate favoritism and slave labor deals with dictators in third world nations….disgusting.

Will this guy be able to find anyone willing to pay him 350K for his speaking ability after this campaign? Or better yet will he still have the leverage to be able to sell access to our government?

I do not hate Hillary Clinton supporters, but I do not understand how they can’t see that they are being played. An Elitist group of people accusing the relatively “poor” one of being elitist because of what? I forgot, he was the one accepting outrageous sums of money from governments not neccessarily favorable to the U.S. in speaking engagements. He’s an Elitist because he would pull down his pants in front of women he desired in the White House and back in Arkansas because he had power and could get away with it? Or is it that famous Cigar he smoked? The Clintons are making people hate them. The Clintons are trying to drive a wedge between poor white/women voters and poor black voters/college graduates/young people so she has an argument. I have no illusions that Mr. Obama is some god-like figure, but I definately have reasons for not voting for Hillary. Web Hubbell, Rose Law Firm, Healthcare gone bad, not reading the NIE, voting for the authorization for the war. There are REAL reasons for not voting for Hillary.

Both of the Clinton’s have far surpassed anything we have seen in fighting for a candidacy; be it for Senate or President. Yet, they seem oblivious as to how much this fight is actually hurting them (individually) or their legacy.
I will refrain from trying to psychoanalyze them both, but I can say that they both seem to be deeply in denial as to how they are damaging themselves as well as the pain inflicted upon the rest of us. Yes, they are hurting US, the citizens to whom they seemingly have pledged allegiance, even though that affiliation seems to depend on the whim of the day.
Yes, I’m hurt, am actively being hurt and will bleed profusely if this continues much further.

An odious question emerged in my head the other day regarding Sen. Hillary Clinton and Former two-term President Bill Clinton’s vicious clawing at Sen. Barack Obama for yet another-presumably, dual-term at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: were pre-2008 Presidential campaign pledges to the yet “undisclosed” Clinton Foundation benefactors hedged against a once inevitable Bill & Hillary Clinton White House redux? Is it even remotely conceivable…even thinkable, that the former two-term First Couple has long hedged winning a “Clinton administration Redux” or “The White House” against the “$1/2-a-Billion” dollars the Clinton Foundation’s yet undisclosed donors have contributed thus far?
Well aware…if these benefactors were disclosed, they represent gross conflict-of-interest incidences. I’m curious as to what favors have this group of obviously well-heeled…and generous, lobbyist sought in return for so many onetime donations topping $30, $20, $10, $5, and $1-million dollars? Twice duped” by George Bush’s 2000/2004 “contested” elections, would Americans likely awaken to headlines bearing the following subtext later: “As a Former First Couple, it now appears the “dynastic” duo has long wagered- presumptively, a onetime-thought-to-be-inevitable Democratic nomination and subsequent presidency against hundreds-of-millions in off-the-record donations made to The Clinton foundation courtesy of long list of “yet undisclosed donors?”
Query: Once again, what type speculative bargaining…back-room-dealings, have Bill & Hillary Clinton already wagered against not only her winning the democratic nomination and subsequent 2008 Presidential campaign, but also that of trillions more of debt to be passed on to already financially-strapped American tax-payers? Otherwise, what form of benevolence would justify donors anteing-up sums ranging from $1 to $31-million dollars individually… altruistically, and anonymously least there was underlying “political-pork” in-play?”

Give me a frikkin break Bill!!
First it was the race card, then sexism, now a cover up…how many more excuses do you have?
The Clintons are running this campaign like a whiney suburban soccer mom would. Everybody gets a trophy….NO! your kid loss he doesn’t get a trophy deal with it! Its life, you win some you lose some. Either way do it with dignity!
I can’t wait for this to be over!!

Kerry and dem38 are the same persons. They are republicans trying to raise concerns among us independents and democrats. We who won’t except another four years of republicans bad policy making, giving to the rich at the expense of the poor, or keeping this lousy war going until 2013. These people pretend to be democrats but we know better. Obama will beat McCain by 20% of the vote in the general election.
They will keep tell you different. Rush knows that Obama will kick McCain’s butt, thats the reason he wants Hillary in there instead of Obama. The Clintons should just let the process move on.

ConcernedWorld wrote: “And it is fact the media favoured Barack Obama from the beginning. And Hillary had no chance of winning over the media. It was a sexist campaign.”
Well, many Hillary supporters make thi claim but they never provide any proof. Ay concrete facts to support your claim? One fact?

the narcissism of both clintons is on embarrassing display, the more desperate they get. it seem forgotten in the clinton spin that at the beginning hillary was anointed as the inevitable nominee by a preening press, to the distress of many who were not enthusiastic about her. not because she is woman, but because we questioned her character – our reservations have been confirmed by her present endgame: everyone against her is a sexist involved in a conspiracy to bring her down. her “tenacity” seems like george w’s reality defying stubbornness: no man or woman with this trait should be president. her campaign, among all the dizzying spin and revisionist interpretation of the past year, want us to forget that 8 of the initial 10 candidates showed good sense and dropped out months ago; they didn’t complain, since they didn’t feel the sense of entitlement she does. she’s losing not because she’s woman. she’s losing because she is a part of a dynasty when americans are wary of dynasties. she’s losing because she offers to little change and represents the bruising nasty politics that we’re all tired of: her campaign and it’s tireless and faith-based manipulation of reality is the best indicator of what her presidency would be like. only the clintons would belittle her own history making run for the presidency as subverted by sexism and the media unless she wins. winning appears to be the only criterion for them: the end is paramount for, never the means. hillary lost because obama won: it’s that simple.

When the Clintons were running against the Republicans in the 90′s, they always cried that there was a vicious attack or conspiracy against them. Sometimes true, sometimes not true.
Now they are treating their fellow Democrats the same way. Nothing is ever their fault…they take no responsibility or accountability when things do not go their way. Not a positive message or role model for our youth.
V.I.C.T.I.M.

My personal opinion is that Obama doesn’t need Clinton supporters. Sure it’ll be closer but if Clintons support comes with some attachment … better off without them.
The political process is better off without this couples ability to corrupt the thinking of normally sane people.

Dear Media Failed Voters: Are you having hallucinations? Who called Clinton a B—–? Who called her all these words? The blogs? Obama has been called a terrorist, unpatriotic, evil, etc. in the blogs.
Get a grip. This ‘unfairness’ is in your mind and the minds of the Clintons who have taken NO responsibility for their failed candidacy. If you want somebody to blame, blame the candidate who picked bad campaign advisors, or a husband who can’t keep his mouth in check, or Clinton herself for saying some stupid things. But most of all blame Clinton for running one of the worst campaigns in modern American history; squandered money on ‘the show’ of a big campaign, not understanding how the primaries were set up even though her leading advisors were the ones who created the system. The list is endless. Your outrage is either based on having an emotional breakdown or is manufactured. Give it up.

I agree with Bill, we live in a sexist country and men today still do not want a woman in power. Men have been running this country since the begining and look what kind of mess were in. It takes a woman to clean up the slop the men have left behind and Obama is a pig right along with the rest of them. Dont let it fool you. If Hillary does not get the nimination I am voting for McCain. I think he has a better ability to navigate through the whitehouse.

Former President Clinton said — She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to cover this up.’”
Somebody tell him that we are still in the Primary and this is not the General Election.

It all comes done to this: She is running her election in the red, which will be the same way she will run the country – on a credit card.
The excuse she is “tired” when she makes these crazy comments is getting a little old. Since it is proven you say exactly what you are truly thinking when you are tired. How soon before she makes some crazy comment about or to a foreign leader?
Heck she makes these comments at 2pm in the afteroon what is she going to be like at 3am?

Scary this guy was your President for 8 years 0 true colours coming out now.

Go sit down Bill, you don’t get a third term.

I definitely still look fondly on Bill Clinton’s years as President as a net positive for this country, but after seeing how low they’ve stooped to pull the wool over our eyes in this election cycle, I no longer have any respect for either him or HIllary.
And P.S., my vote was leaning for Hillary at the beginning of the primary season. By the time it came for me to vote in the Potomac Primary, she had lost my vote to Barack.

From the very beginning, republicans said that Hillary7 is polarizing and she has lived up to every letter of the word

I am hearing rumors that Hillary will be running as an Independent. That must put fear into the hearts of Obama supporters!

It is time for the Clintons to stop playing the victims. Pres. Clinton contributed greatly to Sen. Clinton’s present situation. Times have changed. We have seen the dishonesty, self-privileged attitude, and game playing that has come out of the political atmosphere in Washington. Unfortunately, it is the only game that the Clintons know how to play. Hence, they appear representative of the system they say they want to change. As the campaign waged on, it became more apparent that Hillary was willing to be dishonest, self-privileged, and a player of political games. This is why she has lost this primary.

I would agree … At 3am in the morning I know who I don’t want answering the phone.

The Clintons remind me of a baseball team that loses the game and then blames it on the umpires.
I think his claim is rediculous.
The Bobby Kennedy remark was a chilling reminder that they are not on a realistic plane with this campaign. They are in denial.

Hillary wants preferential treatment: anything short of this is “sexism”.

Anyone not blinded by misplaced loyalty can see that the failure of HRC’s campaign is entirely due to herself, Bill and their hand-picked managers.
Add to that the many, many times she has misspoken and had to retract, backtrack or “apologize” and you have 2 clear reasons why she does not have what it takes to be president. To quote her: “Words matter”.
Even with such glaring weaknesses, I could understand people continuing to support her had it not been for the fact that they have clearly adopted the cynical and blatantly dishonest strategies of Rove and Bush. They twist, deflect and persist with outright falsehoods and lies in the belief that saying it often and loudly enough will get the public to believe.
McCain would be 4 more years of Bush? I think the Clintons would be as well.

Hillary supporters by the millions have also poured their hearts and money into her reaching so far. Yes she has had to loan to her campaign. But her victory in Virginia and Kentucky has shown her resilience. She may not win the nomination. But the democratic party needs both Obama and Hillary together on one ticket to defeat McCain. Believe me neither Hillary nor Obama alone can win against McCain. The all too powerful lobby that support the Republican machine will once again spend millions and even cheat to put McCain in. However there is a slim chance that with the united forces of Hillary and Obama they can overcome the obstacles and get into the White House by a slim margin. But we need to put pressure on both hillary and Obama. If Obama wins then Hillary should be the V.P and if by some miracle Hillary wins then Obama should be the V.P On to victory.
I also strongly believe that Florida and Michigan must be counted but the only right solution is to have revotes or new primaries where voters return to the polling booths to show their true preference either for Obama or Hillary. First of all the rule was silly to start with. Then no one campaigned in those states. And Obama for whatever reason took his name off the ballot in Michigan. Anyways just what was DNC smoking to have made the stupid mistake ? There is no way Florida and Michigan can be excluded. That is like committing a suicide. Those voters are too important to exclude. But just splitting or allocating votes is not the right solution. Why should Obama or Hillary be afraid to face the voters the right way in those states ? But any revotes must be done quickly. If it is done by mail proper procedures must be in place so that there is no cheating or problems.
Ideally it would be better to let the voters go to the polling booths to recast their votes with both Obama and Hillary’s names on the ballots.
Ultimately whatever happens the end result should be a dream ticket. It will be a huge mistake for either Obama or Hillary running against McCain. Bush and the republicans may be at their lowest ratings but that does not mean that McCain and the Republican machine cannot win.
If the democrats are smart and if important democratic politicians are smart they will pressure for a dream ticket.
I do not think that the differences that are present right now while the campaign is still on will cause any problems once the nominee is decided and once the dream team is formed and once the real campaigning starts against McCain. And by dream team I mean either Obama-Hillary or Hillary-Obama.

Hillary Clinton is losing because she has shown herself to be devious and void of ethics. She agreed that the Michigan and Florida vote wouldn’t count. Now that she is losing, she wants us to believe having these votes count is a civil rights issue. In Michigan, voters were not even allowed to write in Obama’s name – some 27,000 still wrote names in and had their votes disqualified. Another 45% of the electorate voted for uncommitted, rather than cast their votes for Hillary. I live in Michigan, and if the Democratic Party wants to lose the state in the general election they can ignore all the people who wanted to vote for Obama but were not allowed to. Allow me to put what Hillary is trying to do in Michigan in perspective. We invaded Iraq and promised to install democracy after Saddam Hussein, like Hillary, held an election where he was the only name on the ballot. Everyone, including Clinton, called that election a travesty. They were right.
In Florida, the voters came out because of the highly controversial property tax initiative on the ballot. These voters were more likely to be older homeowners, not the younger folks Obama’s attracting. It should be noted that no candidate campaigned in either state, a fact that gave Hillary a significant edge. Because of greater name recognition, she began the primary race in most states with a substantial lead. In most states, that lead quickly disappeared after Obama began campaigning there. The Clinton’s claims are specious at best and downright dishonest at worst. Hillary is being advised to leave the race because she has lost the delegate count, the only count that matters. It is all about the math, not her sex. A final note, it is astounding that we are being asked by the Clinton campaign to believe that Obama’s generally college educated, more affluent voters are more likely to be sexist than Hillary’s more poorly educated white , working class voters are likely to be racist. Got figure.

Listen and learn people!
What Bill Clinton is saying is true!
He is only trying to defend his wife just like Obama tried doing the same with telling the press to “lay off his wife” with attacks on what she says on the campaign trail.
Hillary has no reason to get out of the race right now. LET THE PEOPLE VOTE!
Just 32% of all democrats want Hillary out of the race. 32%! So you got 68% agreeing she should remain right where she is because there is some math that do favor her doing so.
So if anyone should “lay-off” pushing her out, it’s the press and Obama supporters.

Sorry for all those Dems who will not vote if their candidate is not the winner. GET REAL!!! If McCain get in, he will stack the Supreme Court in favor for one that side with big buisness. Do you really want that, remember the High Court made it more difficult for Women to sue if they feel they were discriminated against them on the base of thier sex. WOW!! lets all go backwards.

I usually don’t respond on these sites, but I just couldn’t help myself here. Does no one remember just a few short weeks ago how Hillary lied, not once, not twice, not even three times, even in her book?? Did no one see the clips over and over and over? She told bold faced lies and was absolutely believable!! We have all told fibs and worse, but does it not scare anyone, if you saw her clips, how believable she is?!! She can say anything and make you believe it. What will she lie about to get in and what will she lie about after she’s in?? The GAS break, what a joke! She couldn’t do that this summer if she wanted to, and if she could, the oil companies will just raise the price of gas for that amount before you save a dime. SHE WILL SAY ANYTHING SHE THINKS YOU WANT TO HEAR IN ORDER TO WIN!. You may not like what Obama said about the oil, but at the risk of losing voters, at least he told the truth about the situation. HONESTY, HMMM…….That’s new!
All they can find in Obama’s past is an “affiliation” with an awful man. Can we say that about the Clintons? I don’t think so! AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT ANY OF IT, but they beat Obama up for that jerk in his church. I am a white, Italian Catholic woman. Wake up people and see at least that the Clintons are NOT the perfect pair that some play them out to be……….All the comments about the “Clintons” and how wonderful they are! Just the fraud innuendos and sexual messes in their pasts, both of them, should make you all cringe. And NO ONE even brings them up! Food for thought, don’t you think? AND, WITH CLASS, HE DEFENDED HIM, AGAIN AT THE RISK OF LOSING VOTERS, UNTIL HE REALIZED THAT HE REALLY WAS “NOT” THE MAN HE THOUGHT HE WAS. HE DID NOT DENOUNCE HIM WHEN IT SUITED HIM. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, HE WOULD HAVE DONE IT IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN IT WOULD HAVE REALLY SERVED HIS PURPOSE. HE TOOK THE HEAT IN THE BEGINNING FOR WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS A BASICALLY GOOD MAN “AND” FOR HIS CHURCH

Poor Hillary and Bill. They were the overwhelming favorite to win this thing but they’ve been beaten by the underdog. It’s KILLING them. They can’t bear the burden of accepting blame for this so they have to come up with a reasonable excuse. Ah yes… SEXISM! It’s rampant! It’s everywhere! The media have it. The superdelegates have it. Obama’s people have it. Poor Hillary. But racism? Er… no that doesn’t exist. Only an elitist would suggest such a thing.
Meanwhile the people, the poor people, denied their voice in the process. They really want Hillary but the media won’t allow it. The evil media conspiracy silencing the voices of all those forgotten voters in Michigan and Florida. Er… except of course for those who wanted to vote for Obama in Michigan, but couldn’t. Maybe it’s alright if we keep them silent after all.
Nice try, Bill. Next time, tell us it’s an alien mind ray corrupting the media. Or that the mob is secretly blackmailing superdelegates to support Obama. It’s all very entertaining.

It is funny to hear the Clintons and their supporters crying about sexism. If it was Obama talking about his race the Clintons and their supporters will also be crying about it. The Clintons tried to make the campaign about race and when it didnt work they are now using sexism. They are also try to position themselves for the next election in 2012 because she knows she has no chance of being a vice-presidential candidate.
They should get off Obama’s case because he was not the reason the Clintons lost or is losing, they are losing because of their arrogance. They never took Obama seriously in the beginning . They only have themselves to blame and should be kicking themsleves now. Bringing up JFK assisination is a code word for those who dont want to see a Blackman as president to act. It was not a slip of tongue nor was she tired. The Clinton dont do or say things politically without calculation and thinking of its effect.
The Clintons and their supporters are the ones doing all the griping yet watching television coverage you would think she is the one leading with all the coverage she is getting.

I want a candidate who gets down to business, who is honest and who treats me, the voter who has to make the decision whom to put into office, with respect. The problems are too large and complex, there is great work to be done and must be done by all of us together. I want the candidate to be a person who can be held accountable and understood, not a married couple. I want the most intelligent person in the room, a caring person, with great integrity. Period.
For my part, I will do my homework, I will exercise discretion and talk to everyone I know and respect who can give me the facts. I will not escalate hysteria or controversy which only obscures the core of information needed to make a good decision. I will work for the campaign of my choice without disparaging others who feel they are doing the same. I will see clearly without blame or self-righteousness.
Personally, my choice is clear, my conscience is clear, and I will work hard, again, to help democracy work for my family and my children, for my community and for all of us. I haven’t always won – have rarely won. But, this work is still the most important thing.
That is all.

Huckabee was way, way, way behind. Hillary isn’t. And Ted Kennedy stayed in the race until August despite his being way, way behind.
The longer Obama supporters scream for Hillary to drop out, the more Hillary voters the Democratic Party will lose in November.
If you’re so sure Obama is the winner, what are you afraid of? No one’s paying any attention to McCain, so that isn’t a valid reason.

Bill is right.
Notice how any time in the past that Obama beat Hillary by even 10 percentage points it was so sensationalized in the media about how Obama just completely buried Clinton in so-and-so state and how it’s so over, and oh my god, he’s so phenomenal, he’s so amazing
Yet how many times, just in the past few primaries alone has Hillary beaten him by more than 2 to 1, by 10,20,30 percentage points and it’s like “oh big deal”???
Why should it be any different?
Why is a victory for her somehow less substantial than a victory for him?
I can hear the Obama people already:
“well, because she only won because of racist white voters, so it doesn’t count”
Oh, but Obama winning a state like North Carolina which is predominantly racist BLACK voters voting for the BLACK candidate is somehow any different?
I think the only difference is that Hillary won in greater numbers.
She proved everyone wrong in Texas by beating him there despite being outspent 3 to 1.
If Obama had done that, god almighty, let’s just move him into the White House this second, but Hillary does it and it’s like “oh, well….anyways, let’s not talk about that”
It IS unfair, and it IS wrong, and that’s why so many voters feel like they wouldn’t vote for Obama in November, because it’s like he’s being forced upon us.

If this primary election were a chess match, the player in HRC’s untenable position would have conceded weeks ago!

I voted in a caucus state Because there are caucus states, Hillary cannot claim to be ahead in the popular vote because that would disenfranchise my vote and the votes of those who bothered to go to the caucuses. I understand the argument against counting the popular votes in caucuses, but that is the very reason why popular vote cannot be looked at here. I would like to say that, even if my state were a primary state, Hillary would have lost by a large margin. Also, re MI and FL, there are plenty of Obama supporters who will not be counted if Hillary gets her way. She does not deserve all the votes out of FL and MI.

Referencing a famous quote from folksy former Democratic President Harry Truman, Clinton said: “I’m with Harry Truman on this. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

“And, you know, they said some pretty rough things about me, too. But you know, this is a contact sport. If you don’t want to play, keep your uniform off,” Bill Clinton told a loudly cheering crowd.

Take your own and advice: Take off your uniform and get out of the kitchen…

wow.. yeah they’re both crazy. it’s almost funny though. i cant help but to feel sorry for both of them.

Well said…

Bill is absolutely right. The media are trying to make Hillary drop out, and they are brain washing us to think Obama is already the nominee, even though he doesn’t have enough delegates. I’m tired of it. Hillary has a right to take her case all the way to the convention.

I am a Hillary Supporter and I for one, appreciate what Bill did for our economy during his term. Hillary is strong to take the abuse you Obama supporters throw at her. If you would take the time to read Robert Kennedy’s words concerning the remark re. his fathers death instead of Obama’s campaigns screams that Hillary is predicting Obama’s assasination you might understand. Dean and the DNC bigwhigs with the help of the Socialist Parties, both in America and Europe, working in our major cities have done much to promote Obama. Obama and Michelle’s words and blunders are quickly swept under the rug but the press is quick to twist every word Hillary or Bill says. Meet the press this past Sunday was a good example. Hillary is determined that every state have a vote in this Primary. If the DNC doesn’t wantthe campaign to go on until the last date, why did they set it so far away? Also, why did the DNC give permission to three states to hold their primaries earlier and Penalize Florida and Michigan, states where Hillary was expected to do well (and she did). Why did Obama hire attorneys to make sure their votes wouldn’t be counted? Why does he want to split these votes 50-50 when he didn’t earn them. Why did Obama’s campaign begin to bring in so much money after the DNC allowed the Party of European Socialists to open their offices in the major US cities just two months after Obama entered the campaign? These offices were supposedly to help the PES to recruit more members which they did under the guise of the Democratic Party because the Democratic Socialists of America,a group that Dean considers progressive democrats has had both Dean and Obama and the President of the AFL-CIO actively involved. Obama has unlimited funds from his Chicago underworld connections including his billionair national finance campaign chairperson, Penny Pritzker. Before you start pinning wings on Senator Obama I suggest you just skim through his past. It is all outthere and he is still on the list at Rezko’s trial for possible criminal transactions. He and Michelle are products of Mayor Daly in Chicago and the beliefs of the Trinity Church. They both learned well. This is why Hillary supporters will not vote for Obama, not because of his race, but for who he is.

Bill,
How will the electoral college results look if Hill steals the nomination through the supers? All of the numbers in these polls will change dramatically if she is handed the nomination. The African-American vote will be non-existent for up to a decade) and many others will be disenfranchised enough to not turn out to vote. Most people are not considering this fact when offering comparisons of Obama or Clinton vs. McCain.

Why is Hillary still running? Because 17 million voters asked her to. I continue to support her bid including financially. She is the best candidate running and I intend to support her to the end (The Convention).
I will never vote for Obama, so my only Democratic choice is Hillary. People will call me racist, I call them sexist.
This is American and I can vote for whom ever I want. Just because I don’t think Obama is qualified for president and will take my vote elsewhere does not make me racist. Just makes me smart!!!!!!!!!!!!

How sad. Bill Clinton is toast when he could be doing great work via his Foundation.

We are all Democrats who love our country and want to heal our wounds and defeat the Republicans in the House and Senate, as well as to win the Presidency.
I am not a Senator Obama supporter (my first choice for President having dropped out), and I think Hillary has run a strong campaign and does not need to drop out until the vote on the Convention floor. However, no matter how this plays out, I will vote for the Democratic Party nominee because our country cannot stand four more years of self-destructive Republican wars, ruling for the rich and Supreme Court appointments which will utimately overturn Row vs. Wade and take away a woman’s right to choose.

I have admired President Carter for many years. However his recent every other day talking about Hillary to drop out soon is getting me turned off and I am getting somewhat upset with him.

Why is it when men lose they don’t whine-women we most always do(if we lose)-That’s why I don’t understand Bill-Maybe Hillary demanded to him that he whine to us.

Let there be no doubt to those who think that President Bill Clinton will be less loved or that he will have lesser speaking engagements. Bill will always have his millions of admirers around the world.Some people have it in their stars ( astro )

Bill, are you serious? You got to be kidding. The only reason the superdelegates haven’t stepped in is because for some reason they still have a little respect for Hillary. She has run a terrible campaign and because of her tactics, and the low down dirty things she tried to do, it didn’t work. Obama has played the high road throughout and the people want change. No more clintons or BUsh’s. We need a change and you and your family represent old time politics. As a matter of fact, the whole democratic process has given HRC the benfit of the doubt, and besides, Bill, you just need to chill out and decide where you and Hillary want to spend the rest of your life. You both have made the process a sham and you both have disrespected party leaders, fellow senators and the american people who voted for you. Just go home and take your wife with you and play golf or something

MIDDLE AGE CRAZY, you might say!
The Clintons are living in Dreamland USA. In the past, when backed to the corner, they cried “vast right wing controversy” and Democrats rallied for the sake of solidarity to save the Clinton Presidency. They got of easy, with no lesson learned. After running a poor (and very negative campaign) in which they experimented with every conceivable dirty trick of the old politics–kitchen sink, gender, race, media, sympathy, whining, red phone, Bosnia fire, working class vs. the rest, cards and more–now it is the vast “Democratic delegates conspiracy.” Hillary is still shouting in our ears that without her, the world cannot –never–be saved. We know better! Lacking any sense of personal responsibility, the Clintons never blame themselves–their reckless behavior, self-sabotage, lack of ethics and principle, selfish individuality, and more–all of which constrained many women feminists to conclude–”not this women.” Surely, in the future, a woman better qualified and with all the requisite positive qualities will emerge to claim the Presidency with all of our support!!! Not this woman! Therefore, the sooner she is put out of her misery the better for the Democratic Party!

I wonder if people really understand the democratic process for the nomination. Both Hillary and Obama agreet not to participate in Michigans or Florida’s primaries. So, Hillary like she has always done changed the game when it suits her needs to set in the white as Queen liar. What a trickster, she will do anything to be president. I don’t want anyone in that office that thinks like that, just look at Bush! I use to be a lover of the Clintons, but I don’t want to see there faces again!

Obama solved more world issues than all previous presidents combined. Why even have an election? This is all just a bad joke.

This is plain ridiculous.
Superdelegates who have complained about being harrassed have pointed the finger at the Clinton camp.
I actually remember a MI superdelegate on tv wondering why the Obama camp hadn’t even contacted her (controversy state).

Clinton has run a miserable campaign, and it’s come back to haunt her. Bill Clinton has been no help. If her campaign is any indication of the way she would run the country, forget it.
She had her chance, and she blew it big time. WJC’s comments and her whining are only rancid frosting on a stale cake. They’re a day late and a dollar short. I originally supported Clinton – until SC, that is and WJC’s stupid and intemperate remarks. And then her negativity and the “3:00 am” nonsense (a real Republican move, if you ask me). Clinton has turned into a nasty, stubborn, pitiful fool.
Go Obama.

I really think Bill Clinton should be the last person on Earth talking about disrespecting Hillary. Does anybody remember the 90′s and the, uh “drama”.

It’s about time the democratic party admitted that superdelegates are anything but democratic. What happen to one person/ one vote. Let this go to the convention. I want to hear Senator Clinton and Senator Obama. I want to hear their positions, let them debate, let the delegates vote and then we could support the winner. Enough of this superdelegate stuff!!!! I can’t vote for a party that doesn’t respect the votes of its members.

I’m surprised CNN even announced that Clinton disrespected bit…I have been listening to CNN and the media disrespect her for so long I could vomit. They’ve had her lost and..the dinner party guest that won’t leave…and more for months. If she loses, it was all thanks to the biased media.

Hillary Clinton has more experience than Obama. The superdelegates are going against the popular vote which is Hillary. If Clinton doesn’t win the presidential office everyone who voted for Obama will be to blame. The economy is weak. Clinton is the only candidate with the expertise to do something positive about it. What better advisor than her own husband whom was a great president. All these superdelegates are envious of her and would rather vote for Obama whom wasn’t even known before this presidential elections.

Jo Michaels – Very good post – but, I disagree with your statement that every Obama supporter would be supporting Hillary if he was not in the race. Simply not true. I, and most of the people I have discussed this with, would not support Hillary….period. I was supporting Edwards for a while simply because I can’t stand Clinton. Sorry, I disagree also with the notion that the Clintons have been so great to the people over the years. In my opinion, the people they support best are themselves. I don’t mean to sound so negative, but, it is how I feel. I have said before that voting for Clinton was the biggest mistake I ever made as a Democrat and I see Hillary as just the flip side of the same counterfeit coin.

The most disrespectful act of all time to Hillary came from Bill Clinton himself and his DNA found on someone elses dress. If I was Hillary I would be much more offended with an evening at the White House consisting of pizza and the “fellowship” of the not-so-hot midwestern looking Lewinsky being enough to satisfy his presidential urges than anything during the DNC race. Bills acts clearly represented the definition of disrespect of Hillary in my book.
Does anyone else get this vibe of bare feet livin, moonshine lovin, shady swamp land deals as being part of the hootenany customs of the Clintons? I just dont get that feeling from watching too many other government officials. Who knows what else took place in the White House during the Clinton term behind closed doors that didnt “leak” out.
