Clinton Argues That Obama Can’t Beat McCain

Obama CAN beat McCain, my uncle CAN beat McCain, the only person who CAN’T beat McCain is Hilliary… Of course aside from the fact that 2nd place is NOT 1st, she’d have to come to terms with the fact that in order for her or her party to actually beat McCain, she’d have to stop trying to get people to ELECT him, so she can run in four years. Hilliary, I think your priorites are a little out of whack to be casting aspersions upon the nominee for President of your own party!!! Stop working for the Republicans, your running in the opposition party to them, not the same party! Jeez!

Hillary, maybe you didn’t hear,
BARACK OBAMA DRAWS CROWD OF 75,000 IN OREGON Sunday. Reports say crowd size of a “City.”
Help me Hillary fans, I can’t seem to find ANY stories about Hillary on any of the major blogs today, except this one and one about a sermon discussing adulterating Bill Clinton….
OBAMA = The democratic Nominee and next president!
Hillary = Irrelevant – Sore Loser…
Bye bye Hillary and Bubba!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama for President 2008!

75k people in portland oregon disagree with her

BARACK OBAMA DRAWS CROWD OF 75,000 IN OREGON Sunday. Reports say crowd size of a “City.”
According to this story, Hillary campaigned in somebody’s “BACKYARD” today.
Yes, the race is still close, you can still win it Hillary… Just keep telling all the super delegates and your supporters not to watch the TV!!
Maybe they won’t see Barack’s crowd of 75,000 today!

Either democrat can win. Winning a primary does not lead to winning the state in the general. Both are strong candidates, and I believe both are massively better than what John McCain continues to offer us.
Democrats unite!

Hillary has not lost anything we have no nominee untill we go to the convention.
May be – finally – she should consider running Independent.
US democracy is being tested now.
The Press, gullible Party leaders and Pundits don’t choose the President.
We, the people, do.

And when you have people like the boss, offer all kinds of stuff, call people give free tickets, just like in philly he even sends out buses to bring in street people it is really something to see in person how he works we had a rally he couldn’t be there and only Hillary showed.Ten minutes before it started all these school and charter buses show up with kids all ages with obama signs did nothing but yell were rude and vile.tugs at work kind of like the thugs thr republicans had in FL. when they were cheating to get Bush elected

I bet you all, When Obama became president,his butts will grow bigger because he will sit every days and he will not work hard for peoples. He only wants money for himself, talk tough but no action!!!!

75,000 people showing at Obama means nothing for Nov. 100,000 showed up for John Kerry in one event Ohio four years ago. He still lost.
Obama’s success relies on “image” not substance and records. It is so interesting the entire country gets to know him by his two books — right, two books full of fabricated figures and out of cronical events. And most importantly, we only know him by a story told by nobody else but Obama himself. Shouldn’t we be more careful? Do a simple online research to find out what the media is not telling you.

Having done and said anything to secure the nomination, which didn’t work, now Hillary will do or say anything to offset her massive debt. The money raised at this spiffy event won’t amount to a drop in the bucket, but it should buy her a couple of new pantsuits.
And to think that at one time I was actually excited about her candidacy. Wow.

Reality of the situation? There’s a very simple reality that these Clinton lovers who write these mile long blogs continue to ignore. She’s not going to obtain 70% of the remaining delegates and super delegates. No miracle is going to occur which makes that happen. Delegates continue to flock to Obama even after Hillary’s big West Virginia win.

Well Susan it’s too bad the Hillary lovers are too blind to see the reality of what she’s doing. It has nothing to do with thinking she can win. It has to do with the keep the appearance that she can win in order for the money to keep coming in.

I have a hunch that we’re going to find out if Obama can beat McCain come next November…
I don’t see the superdeligates being dumb enough to overthrow Obama for any reason at present because the party’s largest block of voters, blacks, may very well decide to sit this election out and not vote. They don’t have to vote for McCain; just not vote for the Democrat and McCain will win…
I still believe that Clinton is quite content to let McCain win this year and hope for a shot at defeating him in 2012. In spite of the egos of both she and her husband, I can’t imagine that they are continuing to beat on the “Obama can’t defeat McCain” drum at this point in time…

PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

Clinton who?Grrrrr!The one who think that people who caucused for Obama where non-people and therefore in her illusions she is leading in her imaginary popular vote that in reality her former opponent(Obama) is leading in…

Nah, Hillary Supporters will not vote for Obama because he is not qualified for the job of POTUS, period. Nothing more, nothing less. If Hillary does not get the nom, we will throw our support behind John McCain. 28% and counting of Hillary Supporters will not support this fraud. Deal with it. Obama will never be your president. Say hello to President McCain! ROFLMAO!!!! Good night.

(It ain’t over until the lady in the pantsuit says so!)

I found it amusing.
First, Obama supporters call Hillary supports: uneducated racists. They call Sen. Hillary Clinton names that I can not even imagine anybody would call his worst enemy.
Why on Earth we have to unite with this type of the party?
I don’t see that it is democratic anymore.
I also don’t see McCain as Bush. McCain serve this country well and proud of it.
We didn’t give up on the Democratic Party. Democratic Party gave up on us. Gave up on people who can not max their donation, working class who living from pay check to paycheck.
Hillary is real thing. And NO you cannot guilt us to vote for Obama.

Viktoriya:
Nobody is trying to “guilt you”, we don’t want your vote.

“BARACK OBAMA DRAWS CROWD OF 75,000 IN OREGON Sunday. Reports say crowd size of a “City.” +++++++++++++++ LOL at Oregon!! I hate to bring this up but last time I checked Oregon had, erm, 7 (seven) electoral votes! Oregon isnt exactly considered a make you or break you state in presidential elections. The argument that Clinton is making is exactly that – the states that actually matter in the (messed up, IMHO) electoral college – the ones who actually put presidents into office – are with her and not Obama. And shes right. Not only that but the Republican election machine managed to put Bush in office, TWICE. They can get McCain elected – dont think otherwise, and Clinton has a far better shot at beating McCain than Obama. Just wait, just wait… until if/when Obama is officially declared the nominee – McCain is going to mop the floor with him, a young man, a man of color, a man with an Arabic sounding name – just watch what they do. And they will appeal to the fear and bias of the same geniuses who voted for Bush. If you’re a Democrat I suggest thinking long and hard about what dirt Clinton has already survived since her husbands administration, compared to what new dirt we don’t even know about Obama that will only come out once the Republicans are sure he is the nominee. They are going to sink him. Keep up the fight Hillary!

What’s even funnier is that Obama and his supporters think the Hillary Supporters will unite and vote him into office. Hah. Let’s see, after calling her every name in the book and deriding her supporters as uneducated and ignorant, they think we will help put their man, Heinz57, into the WH? A man who does not even know how many states there are in the US. A man with questionable ties to very shady characters, a man who has even lied about the circumstances of his birth? Noooo – I don’t think so. Guess those poor Obama Supporters will have to get him into the WH without us – and just what is the chance of that? Especially since most of us will be casting our uneducated and ignorant votes for McCain or Nader. Call me anything, just don’t call me an Obama Supporter. Good Luck on that WH deal! ROFLAMA!!!

Clinton and McCain on the presidency.
Fantasy….you’re my fantasy. No one can take you from me…’cause you’re only a dream. Thinking about you every night. Wishin’ that I could hold you tight….(apologies to Brandi Wells)

No Hillary supporter seems able or willing to answer my question. Namely, when the candidate you worship and adore eventually calls you to support the party’s nominee, will you turn your back on her calls?
Will some ardent Hillary supporter tell me how much they respect Hillary’s wisdom?

All of you diehard Clinton supporters determined to vote for John McCain should remember 2 things:
Your son or daughter may be the nest soldier to die in Iraq and your house may be the next to be foreclosed.

I am sympathetic to the Clinton supporters because, frankly it seems like she lost because her campaign staff (Doyle and Penn) did a terrible job.
She got killed in the caucus states because these so called expert advisors thought these states didn’t matter and weren’t worth competing in. This allowed Obama to run up ridiculously high margins and build a significant delegate lead. If HRC had competed in Idaho, it is hard to believe Obama wins 80%of the vote. Thus, if she had competed in these smaller states, she would now be in a strong position to win the nomination. How frustrating that must be to the Clintons.
But the reality is he has won. He has an insurmountable lead in delegates which is all that matters. (And the popular vote claim, for the reasons others above have noted, is rather dubious)
What I don’t understand is why Clinton supporters would vote for McCain. Justice Stevens is 88 years old. Roe was upheld by 1 vote. If McCain wins the election he will appoint a Justice who will overturn Roe. What about health care? Barack’s plan may not be as universal as Hillary’s but its a lot more progressive than McCains. What about Iraq? Do Clinton supporters really want to vote for a candidate who will have us in Iraq on a long term basis?

Geeza – We respect Hillary very much, but in the end, as a matter of personal integrity, each person has to vote their principles. Most Hillary Supporters really feel that Obama is not qualified (for reasons already listed countless times) for the job. We will vote McCain, Nader or sit at home. From reading these blogs, most of her supporters, myself included, will vote for McCain. Also, a lot of us will change our party affiliation to Independent because we feel that this Democratic Party no longer represent our values.

(It ain’t over until the lady in the pantsuit says so!)

What I am saying is that Hillary is a Democrat and she has loyalties to the Democratic Party, Which after this Primary I don’t understand why, but she is an American and she has the righ to do what she feel is right for her and I have the right to do what I feel is right for My Family and Myself, we all have that freedom. I voted for Hillary and Supported her because I feel that she is the right person for the Job. I Did not Support Obama because I did not have any faith in him as the right person for the job, that has not changed and it will not change, so just because someone tells me to vote for him, that will not make me change my mind. I did my research. I did the work, I compared the policies, I reviewed the records. I watched the debates, there is no substance there, he is not credible to me, therefore I have to look at the other option and then make one of the two decisions that Geeza,I stated earlier, by the way this has nothing to do with hate, I don’t hate anyone. I don’t hate Obama, I simply do not respect him or feel that he is credible and by the way I hope that you are not trying to make this a race thing because I am an African American and I have no interest in making history, my interest lies with the issues Period. The nation may very well self destruct sooner with Obama.

Vote for McCain and vote for $10 gas and your schools that will fall apart. Obama will prevent this

McCain hasn’t even been run against, and he’s already down 7 in the polls against obama, whose been attacked constatnly by the media for 6 months.
People are sick of McCain, and don’t want to see america collapse under bush 3 Obama Or Hillary 08!

I am an Obama Volunteer phone caller from Pennsylvania. The Clintons are bringing voters to our party…alot of voters. It is great that every state is involved. Remember, with their help, with the help of every one, Obama will win. Please go to BarakObama.com and start making calls. Thanks Bob

There is nothing ABC news can do to stop Sen. Clinton from becoming President. About three years ago a well known televangelist, Perry Stone Jr., told his congregation that God spoke to him and said Sen. Clinton will be the next President. This information can be obtained from one of his published works on CD entitled “Strange Patterns of Recent American Presidents.” On track 7 of this CD, he tells us that Sen. Clinton will once again be in the White House. So give it up ABC News. And Barack, your days are numbered.

Under Obama watch, gas will be $15.00 per gallon and food banks will not be able to provide food for the long lines of people. The Obama who wants to increase payroll and capital gains taxes has no vision to balance the budget without taxing the people. He will bring change all right, change like we never saw before. Change in the form of hungry, homeless families!

Hillary supports Obama, america supports obama, why don’t you who want to see america continue its free fall just shut your mouths and use your minds?

The bus is coming to town…time for Michele to get thrown under the bus! The tape is out and Michele will find herself under the bus! LOL

Any Democrat or Independent who refuses to vote for the nominee because THEIR choice is not the nominee is a fool. This isn’t a junior high school popularity contest. There are serious issues at stake for our country and if you think having a childish tantrum and staying home or voting for McCain is going to get us back on the right track; well, you’re stupid. Obama and Clinton are both intelligent and thoughtful, unlike the current idiot in office, and they both have considerably more integrity than McCain. Either one would be a much better president. Grow up!!!!

Geeza – Obama’s policies are similar to
Hillary’s because he stole most of them from her. He is unable to talk in-depth about any of them as proven at the 4 debates he had with Hillary. I have no faith or confidence in his ability to get the job done. McCain, on the other hand was courted by John Kerry to run with him as vice president. I have researched McCain, and why I don’t agree with all of his views, I am far more comfortable with him as POTUS than I am with Obama, a man with more questions than answers. I also think Obama is racist and ruthless, with more leanings to Farrakahn than MLK. He leaves me cold.

Wait…you mean the sad commercial the TN GOP made using Michelle Obama?
Why did they cut out the word “really” to make that commerical?
Same distortions, same dishonest bs

lol
portland has only 75k people in it? soooo you are saying everyone in the whole city showed up LOL
that would be impressive! but no we have quite a bit more then 75k
all you lame republicans, and ditto heads need to take a hike, and get ready for a beating
obama is going to crush mccain time to put your diapers on!

I can’t wait for the “whitey” comments from Michelle in the pulpit at TUCC come out. Obamaniacs will say that white America doesn’t understand and that we should overlook race. Can she give the same speech that BO inspired America with after Wright came out (the first time)? I’d like to see the expression on her face while she gives it.

I think this will be my last post on this subject.
I understand from the posts in response to the question I raised that loyalty to Hillary is not the real issue for her supporters. Rather, it is an antipathy towards Obama. Moreover, these Clinton democrats would be happy to see another four years of George Bush.
Hmm…
PS I notice how all the bloggers who have declared themselves to be Black happen to be staunch Hillary supporters. Interesting.
Then again, bloggers can say anything. Who knows?

Hmm, maybe those 75,000 people, who I’ve heard were mostly teenagers (sound familiar Mr. McGovern?) came from those 7 (or was it 9?) new states that Barrack Obama, that master of US history, thinks we have? Hmmm…

RevelationUnfolding:
Have you thought about this—
Ronald Wilson Reagan (6 letters in first name, middle name, last name or 666) ushered in the Bush-Clinton reign. Bushies and Hillary-ites attack the candidate who wants to be civil and change their policies. Sound like politics of 2,000 years ago?
And you freaks go on about how bad Obama will be.

And another thing…all of you who think Obama can’t beat McCain…take a look at the polls onrealclearpolitics.com. He’s beating the snot out of him.

Not dictating to anyone. Just pointing out that allowing McCain to be our next president because you have to pout in a corner like a child is NOT going to get our country on the right track. I don’t care who the Democratic nominee is, hell will freeze before I vote for a Republican. You are cutting your nose off to spite your face. The very definition of childishness. If you think McCain is going to be better than Obama, then you are not paying attention ! And please spare me the sound bites. Do a little research and use your brain.

Geeza – That was a real cheap shot. No, Obama does not have ALL of the black vote.

Isn’t it telling that obama crushes mccain with educated voters? it’s cause idiots seem to always control the directio of our country

I am glad that Hamas is way out there in the Middle East and there is no reason to bring him to the White House. That is enough knowledge about Hamas for me!

Obama is a liar. I’ve been to Trinity Church, while visitin in Chicago and Obama was there. I listened to Rev Wright put down whites, jews, and even blacks at times. Almost ALL of his messeges were anti american, and Obama was in the service to hear him. I even saw him shaking his head in agreement. Don’t listen to Obama, he lies!

Hillary supporters in Ohio said they are going to go republican. It takes Ohio to win. The talk all around Ohio is no Obama. Obama is a dirty word in our family.
The only reason Obama got this far is his money and rich friends. He won’t know what to do if he sure win he will have to call Hillary help me please.
The republican already has enough dirt on him to keep him out of office. They will use it to. I don’t know how any good person could even vote for him.
Email your senators and congress or any super delegates tell them we want Hillary even if they went with Obama tell them they are wrong I do.

Why would anyone want an empty suit like Obama for president? I supported Kerry and believed that he would have made a great president just because I wanted the current Bush out. Now, am I so glad that he is not in the White House. Blindly supporting a candidate is not good for the country. We need to research our candidates and support the one we think is best. I believe McCain will be a better choice than Obama.

This is not a question of party. This is a question of what is the right course of action for the country. Selecting an unknown with Mr. Obama’s history and associations is beyond the limit of what American voters will accept. He is unelectable and will lose at least half of the Democratic party.

@NoLuvForTheBrotha – I agree, this man is scary with the ties to his church which ties to Farrakahn. Not to mention reputed ties to terrorists, his cousin, Oblinka, Hamas and all the rest. Lots of red flags around this guy and MSM says nothing! What the heck is going on????

I hear the South Side of Chicago is totally changed. People leave their doors unlocked and frolick in the parks he’s built, right?

hey leelee……nice talkin to you, got to go to bed. keep up the good work, fight against obama.

“For the first time in 37 years I will not be voting be democrat. Feels good to be independent.” Amen, Tina! Enough is enough from bigoted Obama supporters!! We’re voting NO to racist, bigoted insults from Obama Supporters!!! We’re voting NO to harassment from Obama Supporters!!! We’re voting NO to scare tactics and hate mongering from bigoted Obama Supporters!!! NO MEANS NO!!

I won’t speak ill of Mrs. Clinton, even though she knows this race is over. I must say, I’ll be glad when this Democratic nomination fight is over, as Mr. Obama seems as if he has a very tight handle on the nomination. It’s too bad Mrs. Clinton ran such a bad campaign, and that her campaign manager Howard Wolfson is allegedly shopping his book around about the inner workings of the Clinton Campaign. Anyway, I hope Mrs. Clinton keeps her promise to support him when he runs against John McCain.

Tammi – You’re right. Most Hillary supporters agree that she has been shut out of the nomination barring the media releasing some of his background that America does not yet know about (and there’s a lot). We have turned our attention to the General Election and bracing to vote for McCain. Obama is unelectable.

Geeza I do not need to justify my race to you I am an African American with all that it entails the only reason why I mentioned my race in the first place was because you made a reference about hate and I knew where that was heading from an Ovama supporter. When all else fail use the race card. I am a staunch Hillary supporter because I did the due diligence.

hey you hillary supporters, put your money where tour mouths are and stop hating, do something geez, she cant fundraise, besides manage cash and you keep hating on Obama, he has nothing to do with her problems! DONT WRITE ANYTHING HERE BEFORE YOU DONATE. BE REAL

Obama racist? Against who? Only a person that is not a Christion would equate Obama going to a church with a man that has made two statements while he wasn’t there. The church is thepeople, not the pastor. Can you imagine Jesus staying away from the people because of what was going on with the church leaders?
Then again only a true Christion would understand how you can disagree with a pastor but still love the church.
Obama is the only true democrat. We see that hillary has pulled all of the republican bag of tricks out. How did she get good at it? She was a republican before she met Bill. She switched her views for power. Obama has always been a democrat.

Obama, regardless of what he says….is considered Muslim by followers of Islam. Muslims who leave the faith of their fathers are considered heretics, and Obama’s father was Muslim. Almost all of his associations have some tie to the Middle East and Islam. Aside from religion, if you discuss nationality, I believe that Kenya also considers him a citizen of their country.

Obama can’t beat Mccain? Is that why 75,000 people ( a new record) went to Obama’s rally in Portland, OR today?

Obama won’t beat McCain if Hillary supporters throw their support to him, which will happen if Hillary does not get the nom.

A black man governing a nation 65-70% white. Never going to happen! It’s not too late America, make the right decision.

Obama is just a big bag of talking wind. I was just reading an article about him on the New York Times which was detailing how he had started writing his memoirs when he first started running for office. As far as I can tell, his “success” doesn’t come from any substantial accomplishments or experience, it comes from him giving speeches and writing books about himself. Who writes their memoir in their 30′s?
He’s just full of himself and full of words to bamboozle people.

Obamas tribe would rather loose the election then confest that obrak is looser..
he only can win dem nomination due to silly delegate distribution,,
But in general election is Winner takes it all..
And if you distribute His and Clintons states that way
She is already over 2300 delegates and Obama is barely on 1700 …
Its obvious only Clinton can bit McCain
Obama will loose general election

I thought HIllary was going to behave with the personal attacks , and carry on the just for fun campaign.
Those BIllarys when can we believe or trust them

danny: Yet Obama is winning OR by a huge margin…….a state where there are few minorities.

Obama still sucks..nothing new to see here

Vickie=bitter voter who is mad that her candidate has lost…..probably cried to the point where she became very mad.

Obama can only win democratic nomination due to silly way democrats distribution their delegate ,,

And if you now distribute Obama and Clintons states that way

Its obvious that only Clinton is only who can bit McCain
Obama if chosen will loose general election

Yea and Oregon is also a very blue state, which will vote for a democrat no matter what. The nomination would be hers, if the Democratic primary process was like the general election! We are trying to win in November right?

Dear Steve!!! A horse race , how many drinks did you have??????
for your info
General election is winner takes it all , not a horse race…
if you distribute Obamas and Clinton Delegates the same way it will be done on general election
She already won with over 2300 delegates
and Obama lost election with barely 1700
so again for you information
this mean nothing that he is ahead at this point for this will not happen at general election
at general election he is a looser with this performance , for he must take those key states he lost
and its fact he cant

Steve.
Swing states are OHIO,PENNSYLVANIA,
MICHIGAN,FLORIDA etc.
Kerry lost OHIO and lost the elections.
Obama’s electability in november is
very slim,OR almost ZERO.

Democrats love losing elections. People like Steve who do not even know the meaning of swing states, rally behind a man that has absolutely no chance of winning and lose us an election that was in the bag. All Hillary Clinton must do is win all the states John Kerry did in 2004 (all blue states) and then one more state and she’s president. That one more state must be Ohio, Arkansas, West Virginia or Penn. A SWING STATE

Arkansas and West Virginia are very much swing states, but only if Hillary gets the nomination. Hillary was first lady of Arkansas for 12 years, homestate of Bill Clinton, Arkansas polls have her 18 points ahead of McCain. West Virginia voted twice for Bill Clinton and made him president, Kerry lost the state and the election.

The Clintons have fought the Republican Attack machine and won! Obama will be destroyed by those Republicans come november. Just watch and see.

Danny,libre both you’re correct.
Obama’s electability in november
is almost ZERO.
He may lose some blue states.
He is disaster for G.E.

the election isn’t only about the war. McCain can beat Obama in Ohio, Penn. and West Virginia by reminding rural voters that Obama called them bitter, by telling them Obama’s pastor damns America for 911 and killing innocent children. Republicans are pigs, and will stop at nothing to destroy Obama. Clinton has fought them before, and beat them twice in 92 and 96.

It seems that she lives in the same land of delusion as GWB.

Ma Cain can beat OBAMA BECAUSE MANY HILLARY VOTERS ARE VOTING FOR HIM OR NOT VOTING AT ALL! WERE PIZZED!

It seems that she lives in the same land of delusion as GWB.

It seems that she lives in the same land of delusion as GWB.

Hillary can’t beat Obama so that makes her weaker than him.

SandyB:
I don’t make the news, I just report it.

There is no question that Obama can’t beat John McCain. Look at 2004, even Kerry/Edwards can’t beat G.Bush because of moral votes from religions. This time, the patriot votes which come from every corner of America will hand the White House to GOP again.

Policy reasons this Hillary supporter will vote for McCain instead of Obama
1) I oppose legalization of marijuana 2) I oppose refusing medical care to a newborn child that survives an abortion procedure (although I support abortion
3) I oppose gay marriages (although I support civil unions)
4) I oppose a ban on handguns and I oppose the adoption of the UN Milenium Standards
5) I oppose sending 6-8% of the US GDP to developing countries during a economic slowdown at home (i.e. Obama’s Global Anti-Poverty Bill)
6) I oppose the use of a non-military solution to a nuclear attack on Israel, especially given the US is likely to be Iran’s second target in a nuclear holocaust
7) I oppose associating with communists such as Frank Davis, with homegrown terrorists like William Ayers and his wife Bernadette (the Obamas worked at a Chicago law firm where they befriended Bernadette), and with Jodie Evans who has only recently raised more money for the Obama campaign than for the families of the 9/11 terrorists … a lawyer should know that you avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
His position on social issues and on national security issues are not the same as Hillary’s–they are much more liberal. A Democratic Congress can reign in a President–if it does its job–and it will be much more likely to do that if McCain is the President.
Personal reasons this Hillary supporter will vote for McCain
1) I don’t like being called an uneducated bigot
2) I don’t like being told to “sit down and shut up” while the party elites and the MSM select the nominee
3) I refuse to be a party to disenfranchising the people in Michigan and Florida
4) I refuse to support the abuses of the caucus system which denied working voters and elderly or shut-in voters an opportunity to be counted
5) I can’t get over all the “what ifs” associated with Barack Obama
6) I feel a strong sense of unease about Obama that I can’t pinpoint
7) On a gut level, I just don’t trust him
Plus, it doesn’t help that Obama is out there telling senior citizens that McCain is going to take away their social security–talk about fearmongering amongst one of the most vulnerable populations.

Davis and Bhrandon,
What is the majority of the CROWD OF 75,000 IN OREGON?

jlynne.
You’re correct.
I raised the same issue on my previous
posts.
Obama’s electability is almost ZERO
in november.

I am another Hillary supporter that will never vote for Obama. I will most likely write her in in November. I also do not feel like the Democratic party serves my interest any longer either. I have always voted Dem and will write Hillary in but I do understand the sentiment around voting for McCain. There is alot to be said for paying your dues and serving your country. McCain has done that. Obama is just not someone that excites me. I do not feel like campaigning for him. I do not feel in my gut that he is right for the job even though he seems like a decent guy. Decent is not enough for me, I want someone in the white house that has shown leadership and toughness. I just don’t feel that with Obama.

Militant Michelle, Wright, Obama’s granny, Jesse Jackson, Sharpton….so many of them seem locked up…what gives? Wright must be able to leave his house…his book, he threatened to tour with in Oct. and he also said he’d come after BO if he ever made the WH. Now THAT’s a scarey thought.

I have a question, what is the point in writing in a candidate? Does it matter or just makes you feel better?

Ma’am, he is already beating.
Sorry, You are out of time.

If Hillary thinks Obama can’t beat McCain, what is Hillary’s argument for why she hasn’t beat Obama?
Obama ’08!

Beautiful to see America tear itself down again…..so wired up about nothing…

trettin
Obama has a double digit lead over Clinton in Oregon, not a real big minority state either. White, rural yes and he leads, what’s up with that?? Oh yea, EDUCATION!!! So smart people vote Obama. Makes sense to me.

That story is awesome!
I love Hillary Clinton and her supporters!!!
Keep going Hillary!!!!!!!

BHO can beat GWB if there is a match-up this fall

130,000 bucks? that’s not even half enough for a half day’s campaigning.

democrats can hand it over to mccain if they let obama get away with this.
the democratic process is noit over yet. the race for the democratic nominee is not over yet.
counting ALL votes is not over yet. yet obama wants and pushes to cut the democracy short.
obama is against people voting.. in the democratic party – that is unheard of and every signle voter should have a pause just because of that!
mccain will beat obama to the punch – there isn’t even a question about that if one looks at the electoral map.
Hillary wins this.

BHO will stand a fighting chance of beating McCain if he runs under the HRC/BHO ticket … go, go DEMS…this GE is yours to take

Hillary Clinton needs to understand one thing right now, no matter who the nominees is, the MUST beat McCain. By adding her opinion that he cannot neat McCain she is defeating the purpose. Everytime she puts more doubt into the brew, she makes it harder for ANYONE to win over Indep and unhappy Reps. She needs to BACKOFF until there os a nominee and then BLAST McCain. Plus she just showed everyone why she cannot be trusted. She must have lied publically in the last debate when she said he could beat McCain…HRC get with the program…

“If Hillary thinks Obama can’t beat McCain, what is Hillary’s argument for why she hasn’t beat Obama?”
and Obama supporters are supposed to be the educated smart ones.
General election -no caucuses, not closed to one party, Florida and Michigan will count, GOP and 527′s will bring up stuff on Obama that Clinton has not, Obama has lost all the swing states, WV, OH,PA,FL,MI. he will lose MO,VA,NC,SC,Al,MS,UT,NB,ID, and all the safe GOP states.

YOu cannot blame the Clintons after what Dean, DNC and AA have done to them….what goes around …

geevil….that is valid except HRC thought she was owed this election from the beginning. She NEVER counted on it goin this far, that is why she is out of money now. She didn’t make an effort to look at caucuses and realize, if she attempted to run in them she could win. HRC is also weak in Rep states which Obama isn’t. Most of the states he won where places Dems have NEVER won. That is such a plus for the party…I look at it this way..if Hillary is SO great why hasn’t she blown this freshman, unknown Senator out the door by now?

okmcain..I think it is a little too late…

The DNC is truly miscalulating if they believe most Hillary supporters will, in the end, support Obama as the nominee. There are 18 members of my extended family who always vote Democratic. Of those 18, 17 are voting for McCain, and at least half of those have NEVER voted Republican in their lives. Our loyalty is not to Hillary Clinton. Our loyalty is to the United States. A man who remains in an Anti-American, anti-white church for 20 years does so BECAUSE HE AGREES WITH THOSE VIEWS. Just ask his wife. She can barely hide her contempt for this country or for white people.

Anyone with a clue knows Obama can’t beat McCain.
Obama is going to get stomped.

Hillary’s right. Obama can’t beat McCain. If you want Kerry 2.0, then Obama is your man. Paper-thin, and ready to be blown over by the Republicans the minute the actual campaign starts. Oh, and he’s already started, then it just shows how arrogant he really is. Is this the man the Obama supporters want?

Clinton’s #1 problem was vastly underestimating the racism of black voters. She totally overestimated the ability of black voters to think for themselves and vote for the best candidate.

I hear that Obama is not campaigning in Kentucky because Hillary has a 35 point lead there. So what happened to spreading his message of change to everyone? Shouldn’t he work harder to bring the message of change to the non converted Obamacans? What a hypocrite.

The media has not given Hillary a fair shake. I agree. When 42% of political coverage was on rev wright and additional coverage on Rezko, I barely saw a mention of Hillary’s scandals; Norman Hsu, Peter Paul, cattlegate, filegate, etc. There wasn’t much on conflicts of interest where Bill Clinton is basically a paid lobbyist for columbia, china, etc. Bill is making tens of millions as a lobbyist and will have complete and unfettered access to the president if Hillary’s elected. There wasn’t much coverage on Bill’s links to Kazakhstan or other countries. I agree. Hillary hasn’t been given equal air time recently. Media, please start talking about Hillary and here scandals, questionable associations and (mainly Bill’s) conflicts of interest.

as Obama supporters we would love to debate issues…but we never get there because it is all about this other crap she needed to try and win.
Obama’s policies are detailed and nuanced and not able to be debated in the 30 second soundbbite…because that is what these issues need not…the political spin for votes hidden behind taking the voters eye off the ball.
and the press NEVER asked…and no the American people don’t know any of this…as much as you want to say it’s old… it’s not and it has never been asked…and she has NEVER answered most of these questions… These were not all created…the Peter Paul’s and the fines and censures and the investigations.
The Mass media gave her a pass on ALL of it. So stop with that.
Let’s look at her healthcare just as one of the policies and the one everyone says is her strength…she is wrong on almost every issue her policies are political not solutions and this is one example)and tell me how her plan addresses the problems at hand besides getting universal healthcare…
because everyone knows the challenge to get universal healthcare is about costs…and the biggest issues with costs are
Medical Billing and a huge bureaucratic organization like medicare or the Massachusetts plan will drive those costs up (and any medical billing professional will tell you that medi-care is a huge problem with billing…the worst.)
Lawsuits… redundant and exorbitant…which inherently don’t punish the doctor who made the mistake as much as get passed on to the consumer… people don’t realize the redundancy of many of these multi-million dollar medical awards going out…and are made to be so large to punish the doctor or hospital but just punish the patients… this will get greater inherently with more patients and no increase in providers
then there is the third biggest cost issue …the simple lack of professionals and staff…in nursing family practice, surgery, billing…
these will all get hugely more costly with Hillary’s plan.
then there is drugs…where a payola system still exists in the pharmaceutical industry…do you understand that pharmaceutical companies can track doctors prescriptions in most states…
and on top of that she wants to do it through garnishes and tax breaks…
I don’t know if you have ever been in the less than 30k tax break but when yuo are trying to decide between rent and food and healthcare ends up not in the decision process… garnishing wages with a taxc break for a group that 99% of them file a 1080ez (because they don’t have accountants and don’t understand tax laws and breaks) is not going to help them keep food on the table.
she is out of touch with the people she is saying she is fighting for.
It is about cost… first. We can’t get to universal healthcare until the costs are reigned in. and to promise that for votes is a very underhanded thing. She can not achieve it…even with a predominantly democratic congress.
so as Obama supporters we would love to debate issues…but we never get there because it is all about this other crap she needed to try and win.
Obama’s policies are detailed and nuanced and not able to be debated in the 30 second soundbbite…because that is what these issues need not…the political spin for votes hidden behind taking the voters eye off the ball.
the number one reason I can’t stand that Hillary supporters give…that the media was easy on Obama…
tell me one question she answered about what is whitewater?
tell me what she thinks of people giving her money for staying in the Lincoln bedroom
tell me who Mr. Hsu is from any question posed to her about his discrepancies
tell me what the cattle futures questions were …from someone asking her and her answering…once…
tell me why her campaign chair cleared out Vince Foster’s office the day after the suicide when it was not even close to her job and before investigators got in there?
does she think there is a vast right wing conspiracy still
…the lists of questions that we have never had asked of Hillary… never mind during this entire year and a half primary is ridiculous…

Why do Obama supporters always cry racism when someone does not want to support their candidate?
Could it not possibly be that we don’t feel he is of good character? That his associates are not of good character?
That we feel he is less than truthful?
Racism is the only justification they can come up with. That is so sad.

Obama supporters think Hillary supporters are terrible because they say they will not vote for Obama in Novemeber. They keep saying she lost. He is only winning because of the early races and a lot of those people are not going to vote for him in Novemeber.
This is a case where he is going to win the battle (the nomination) and we are all going to lose the war. (McCain will win the White House)
If Obama supporters were realists they would vote for Hillary as she is the only one who could beat McCain.
So keep crying “we won” all you want and lose in Novemeber. That is some swell victory.

LESSON TO LEARN (FROM GOP) FOR DEM IN PRIMARY.
1. No Caucus.
2. Winner Take all.
3. Do not allow voters other than Dem member to vote.
Hillary Clinton will be nominated if those rules are applied and we will take the White House in this November.

Brent,
How sad for America, I agreed. I think the DNC Leasers and some super delegates would be the one to blame before (should be BEFORE) the media because they continue endorse the loser after the fact.

“We did not go through such a long and rigourous campaign to see four more years of Republican leadership in the White House,” she said.
Nora, Hillary implied that if Obama wins the nomination, there will be another Republican in the White House.
So, if you’re looking where Hillary says that Obama can’t beat McCain, there’s the quote above.

Funny, these Hillary supporters. They say that they will believe that the primary is finally over when “the lady in the pantsuit says so”, but they will defy her if she tells them to support Obama in November.
In other words, they will obey their much worshipped heroine on such a simple matter as putting an official end to the primary, but they will defy and disrespect her on the all-important matter of putting an end to the Republican leadership that 82% of the people think is taking the country in the wrong direction.
For all their supposed undying faith, Hillary’s supporters don’t really trust her on the things that matter most.

“This is a case where he is going to win the battle (the nomination) and we are all going to lose the war. (McCain will win the White House)” – Ann at 10:56:03
Another mystery from Hillary’s supporters. If McCain’s winning the Presidency means losing the war, why do they want to vote for McCain and thus contribute to losing the war? Where’s the logic?

Anyone that wants to vote for McCain can, but when you suffer for the next four years with him as president remember this could have been avoided. In my opinion Hillary has no class. She could have done a lot to have the party headed in the right direction, but she has made this choice to drag it out. Clinton is a very smart lady and she is self serving. She is speaking out of both sides of her mouth. The Clinton supporters should support her but in the end get in line and vote for your party. Instead you will vote republican. Are you crazy or just stupid.

Obama draws 75,000 in OR and HRC raises 150k in someone’s backyard? You tell me if this race is “not over”.

The party didn’t desert Hillary. She started with 160 super delegats before the first vote was cast. Nobody even knew Obama’s name and the media was declaring the first woman president. Then a funny thing happened, the voters said “no, we don’t want Clinton Part Duex!” We voted and, despite Clinton’s name recognition, Clinton’s support from the former president, Clinton’s support of 160 supers, Clinton’s support of the party’s organizational arm, Clinton’s connections, Clinton’s tens of millions, we voted NO! No one deserves the presidency. More voters (including FL, MI and the caucus states which aren’t usually quoted in the popular vote) have voted for Obama.

Didn’t Hillary state that Obama could
win the general against McCain in the
last debate? Which is it, Hillary
Pinnochio Clinton? Can he win or can’t he? More Lies and Deception form the
masters, the Clintons!

I have to hand it to the Obama organizers in Oregon for putting together one heck of a visual showing 75-thousand showing up for one of his speeches.
Too bad that half of them were underage and can’t vote, but hey, it looked great on television.

Bishop:
I can hear the sound of your nails as they’re being dragged down along with Hillabeans.
So sad.
It may not be “over,” but it is done! She cannot win, and her continuing to argue that Obama cannot beat McBush is tiresome and damaging to the Democratic Party.
For a few days, it seemed like she was going to be cooperative, unlike her husband. Sigh!
If it doesn’t end after tomorrow night, it will only be another two weeks. Why??
Obama 2008 –Yes, WE CAN!!!

We will not vote for Obama even if Hillary asks us to do so. As a long-time Democrat, I will switch to Independent because I no longer trust this party. I will vote for the best candidate, not for the party! We love to see Hillary becomes Independent, then Obama will have no chance whatsoever in the fall!

Hillary supporters:
Your candidate fought a good fight… but it is OVER.
Now many of you are saying, “I will never vote for Obama!”
Why? Clinton and Obama agree on nearly every policy issue. You may not like his personality, but we are voting on POLICY here. No president has ever been perfect (and some were glaringly imperfect), but they have still been able to do great things and change the direction of our country in a time of crisis.
Would you honestly prefer 4 more years of McBush and the same old failed politics (Iraq, the economy, civil liberties, the environment, education, the mortgage crisis, healthcare, SSI, gas prices, etc)???
Democrats MUST unite. You can hold your nose while you punch your ballot, but you cannot vote for another Republican nightmare. We are at the tipping point…and the world needs us to step up and provide the right kind of leadership NOW.
If Democrats cannot win this year with all of the new supporters and all of the issues on our side, we do not deserve to. Let’s not make this a self-fulfilling prophecy. Only by standing together can we heal our country and our planet.
I have supported Obama since he announced his candidacy, and I DO NOT like or admire Hillary in any way. In fact, I frequently change the channel when I see her face or hear her voice. However, if she were the eventual nominee, would I vote for her? You bet. My loyality is to my party and the issues I believe are important to my country. We cannot allow pettiness to tear us apart…
