Clinton Camp on Edwards Endorsement: ‘It’s Not Great News’

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The humor…
If he were to endorse Clinton… this would be the turning of the Tide…lol
wow

CHANGE is upon America!!!!!!!!
The BEST is yet to come!!!!!!!!

Uh, Emily, wasn’t John Edwards Mr. Working Class Champion before it was fashionable? He announced his candidacy in New Orleans’ 9th Ward and went to work on a Habitat for Humanity house immediately after dropping out.
Edwards message will be, I think, clear: it’s time to support the nominee.

It’s not surprising that he endorsed Obama based on what he said in a debate last October:
“Will she be the person who brings about the change in this country? I believe in Santa Claus. I believe in the Tooth Fairy. But I don’t think that’s gonna happen. I really don’t. And I think that if people want the status quo, Senator Clinton’s your candidate. That’s what I believe.”

I’m glad to see someone has come to their senses. Edwards is no dum dum he can read the writing on the wall. Mrs. Clinton had better put her ego aside and work to ensure a democratic victory this fall.

Hillary, run as an independent. The far left turned its back on Lieberman. But, you can win the middle and leave the extremes to Obama and McCain. True change. Go for the Gold

Actually Vanessa, Edwards isn’t a superdelegate.
It’s still good news though.

You gotta give it to Obama; Slowing constricting Clinton with superdelegates into conceding.
She picked up 20 delegates in WV, but Obama has gotten 30 superdelegates over a week.
Even Clinton has to know, she’s starting to look like a hamster running on the circular wheel full speed but going nowhere.

I knew this was coming. Of course it is big news! How can the CLinton adviser dismiss this endorsement. This will help Obama win over those on the fence and will help him win more blue collar votes. He has a huge lead in Oregon. What will Hillary say-that those white voters don’t count?That Oregon is not an important state?

I sill remember Edwards was the campaign dog for Obama during the debates. The loser usually likes to unite another one to fight with the opponent rather than fighting singly.
I think the campaign gets to personal.
I think those high profile Obama backers’s psychology is like this:
they will feel disgraced if a woman wins, and reaches the goal they can never reach, so they would rather to endorse a weaker one.
Very simple, and pitiful reason behind.
They should be responsible for the country’s history. They should feel guilty that, their choice is not to put the country first, but is to put their own grace first.

It would certainly be the best news the Clinton camp had during this whole campaign if he endorsed her.
What crybabies.

McCan’t and all the cynical, disgruntled Clinton losers will be standing on an island all alone looking at each other saying “What Happened?”
It wasn’t supposed to be like this!
OBAMA/EDWARDS 08

Now, its time for Hillary to snap out of it and get behind Obama.
She’ll pop into formation next week.

so every democratic losing contender has come on board: ted kennedy, edwards, kerry, bradley, hart….oops, still waiting on carter and gore. then it will be final: obama will have the endorsement of every democrat who lost a presidential bid since 1964, while Clinton will have the endorsement of the only democrat to win two terms since the 40s….lol. love the party of destruction.

I agree – Edwards shows his true colors – he’s just another egotistical, power hungry, opportunistic, hypocritical politician who can be paid off by any body. He’s spineless! Good riddance. Edwards said he was the working people’s candidate – but they sure didn’t vote for him! As we saw last night – working americans are voting for Hillary! and in big, BIG numbers.

Good news for Obama to be sure – I don’t see how this endorsement is anything but a positive for the Obama campaign. However, it hurts to see that we democrats are so quick and ready to turn on each other in an instant. I can understand that each candidate has flaws and good qualities; but if you take an honest, unbiased look; their platforms are nearly identical. I’d be proud and happy to vote for either in November. I’m sick of the war, I’m afraid that Roe v Wade might be overturned, I want the economy to grow and restore this country as it used to be. Even if Clinton loses, she will certainly be assured a prized position (VP?) in determining the policy of the country if the Democrats win in Nov. I believe the same is true for Obama if Clinton wins. Seriously, I understand the enthusiasm but we should let this race play out and support the winner wholeheartedly.

Keep fightin’ Hillary! Edwards’ endorsement means nothing…are we forgetting that he’s been on a losing ticket as a veep and dropped out of this race!!! Hillary’s fight is exactly what we need in the White House!! Just when Obama thinks she’s down…She wins again!!! GO HILLARY!!!

Obama got at least one today… her case doesn’t make much sense ..

atl76 — please dont try to preach to me about what a “real” democrat would do. i have been voting dem since ’84 — when i first reached 18. sorry, you have no standing to define what it means to be a real dem.

kate- it doesnt matter what the super-d’s do. obama wont win because we clinton supporters will give HIM the finger in november. good bye obama. lol. the dems lose again. what’s new?

Lots of Independents don’t have to worry about being called a traitor. We’re going to vote McCain over Obama anyday. Too bad there was no way to exit poll all the Indepepndents who weren’t able to vote in the primaries.

It may not be “great news”, but it should have been expected. Hillary shouldn’t have expected such a far-left person as Edwards to endorse a moderate (Hillary). He is naturally going to gravitate toward someone with similar politics… the politics of Socialism. Yes, I know Hillary wants to “socialize” medicine, but America’s medical system NEEDS to be regulated. This doesn’t mean the entire company needs to adopt a Robin Hood policy, as espoused by Edwards and Obama. I’ve contributed to Hillary’s campaign three times; I guess I’d better make it four.
DON’T give up, Hillary!

i’m sick of hearing obama talking about change. He has done nothing for Illinois. I have not heard what or how he’s going to change Washington. No one person can promise that. You can’t get 600 people (congress) to agree on anything. The democrats control congress now and they’ve got anything done since they’ve been in. So much for their promises

I’ll be honest. I don’t like Hillary, for a lot of reasons that her defenders would definitely debate. It’s a pretty strong dislike.
But I would NEVER vote for McCain. Ever. Even if the nomination was taken from Obama, as some Clinton supporters claim the nomination is being taken from her.
I would vote for health care. And education. And stopping this travesty of a war.
Isn’t that more important than personality?
Don’t vote for a candidate that most analysts have as being *very* similar in position to Clinton? In order to vote for McCain?!?
That’s just nuts.
Can anyone taking this position please explain?

Ben C, it’s not about personality; it’s about politics. My wife and I will vote for McCain if we cannot vote for Hillary Clinton, simply because we don’t feel the need to take America as far to the left as Bush has taken it to the right. Hillary Clinton is the closest thing to a moderate as we’re going to see this year, which makes her the least scary. Old Man McCain is such a mixture of politics that it’s hard to figure where he will “land” on any given day. But he is still a moderate compared to Bush (and Obama).

John Pen: ….and how many states did Obama win in a row before that? Hmmm?

many Americans will simply not vote for Obama no matter who endorses him. Many Americans continue to feel Obama is too liberal, too unpatriotic, too shady, and too unexperienced to be President. Slowly the DNC party realizes Obama is not electable in a general election…but it will be too late..just ask Kerry.
Posted by: The Hard Facts |
ALSO GEORGE MCGOVERN WHO HAD THE SAME AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS AND 19 YEAR OLD COLLEGE KIDS AS OBAMA.
BY THE WAY MCGOVERN LOST 49 STATES OUT OF 50……SAME AS OBAMA WILL LOSE.

So…..those of you that won’t vote for Obama…..do you think Hillary can win without the people who voted for Obama?This trashing of the other candidate of the same party simply destroys your candidate’s chances of winning as well. This is INSANE. If this is how the Democrats treat each other and lose what would otherwise be a shoe-in election YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET! What idiots

John Pen, your analysis is pretty good, except you’re forgetting that the Republicans have nominated a “clunker” this year. Old Man McCain is NOT the best the GOP could have put forth; he is a mixed bag of political views, which change on an almost daily basis.
I do agree, however, that by November the American people will have figured out Obama and won’t want to vote for him. But it will be too late, and we may get stuck with him. Hillary is our only hope, but members of the Star Chamber (the DNC) are doing everything in their power to destroy her.

Obama Nation — keep dreaming! The fact that you cannot accept the fact that people cannot legitimately withhold support from the Lord Obama is pretty pathetic.
Rhyms – yes, I am black – and not supporting Obama or the Dems in ’08…a lifetime Dem.

Yes, OBAMA NO, yes. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Sadly, Obama’s supporters will probably scroll right past.

kitty – that article was written by a black political science professor at the university of pennsylvania.
Get real: I am actually embarrassed that blacks were so unquestioning about Obama. IF anything we are open to questions, but with Obama, it will get you cut. What exactly did he do to deserve such heightened protection?

Everytime the People pass on BO, he trotts out another endorsement. Something about this just stinks to high heaven. I think the whole thing is fixed.

In the end, the DNC as well as Obama and his supporters, will reap what they have sown.
For sure, their harvest will be very, very bitter…
A Proud, Black, Hillary Supporter
Rise, Hillary, Rise!’08

All this hostility is so unpatriotic. It doesn’t make sense to vote for McCain out of spite because your favorite candidate didn’t get noominated. It’s not about voting for Obama to unit the Democratic party.
The real choice is much more important than that. Vote for McCain if you want to continue the war and let it bankrupt our country. Vote for McCain if you want to watch our planet die and our economy go to pot because nothing is being done about our dependence on oil. Vote for McCain if you want Roe v Wade to be overturned.
I will vote for either Obama or Clinton because I don’t want my son or daughter to die in Iraq, I want my daughter to have a safe choice if she every has an unwanted pregnancy and I want our planet to survive because we have found sustainable energy.
Too bad emotions are getting in the way of logic.

Thank you John Edwards! The Clinton campaign can try to spin this, but it has overshadowed Hillary and WV. Did you see the MSNBC guys laughing and laughing about this a while ago??? LOL.

I hope the people here saying they will vote for McWar if Hillary doesn’t win understand the gravity of that choice: TRILLIONS more debt, more DEAD soldiers needlessly in Iraq, more tax cuts for billionaires and corporations at the expense of the middle class, no healthcare, more extreme right supreme court justices, ruined environment, more loss of our national honor, loss of Constitutional freedoms, and on and on…
This is not a game people. I’m sorry your candidate isn’t winning, but suck it up. McBush will be a DISASTER for America. No joke.

mykle — great job. you are just egging us on. thanks. insulting my intelligence is not a good way of persuading me to change my mind.

Let’s face facts – when a person says they are a life long Democrat but if Obama wins the nomination they will vote for Mccain, they are either stupid, racists or both! You can’t explain that stupid logic to me no matter how long you try. I wanted Hillary, but I am not stupid enough to vote against my economic interests that would be just plain stupid. It’s no wonder that the politicians and pundits play the race card it works on the unintelligent amongst us! geesh!

John Pen – the Dems must lose. They are trying to break a record for the number of losses in a 60 year period!

Emily’s right. And in other news from Hillaryland, did you hear that NARAL is full of traitors who will no longer be classified as women as of today’s endorsement, that the 32 states who voted for Obama no longer count as part of the USA, that votes from voters under 40 will be counted negatively against Obama’s total popular vote, that the 1.5 million people who donated to Obama are all oil company lobbyists who stole money from elderly women to give to Obama, and that anybody who lives in a caucus state is a communist.

Barack in Kentucky,
It’s not surprising. He and his followers already thinks he’s the second coming of Christ.

anyone who thinks that us hillary supporters care about edwards endorsement have got another thing coming.
richardson was a judas and we didn’t care about his endorsement; and, edwards just waited to see which way HE THINKS the wind is blowing then hooks up his horse – we do not care about him either! if we care about either of theirs worthless politicians then we would have voted for them before.
if the DNC thinks they are going to force obama on us and that we will take another jimmy carter then they will be sorely surprised!
if these new dems don’t see that hillary is the best then fine – they will soon feel the cold cold cold hand of the gop!
now, we can start talking about being a little bitter – and it will NOT go away – choose wisely!!!!!
obama is a charlatin for change.
hillary is the smart choice for change.

I know many people (middle class white men and women primarily) who supported Hillary and who have told me they will vote for Obama should he be the candidate. So, I’m not sure who the people on these blogs (and they’re on all the blogs)really are, because the real life people I know are making this decision about what they think would be best for their families and their country, and it doesn’t turn out to be McCain.

I am convinced that many of the folks posting here as disgruntled Clinton supporters who will vote for McCain if Clinton fails to get the nomination are actually Republicans. I followed a link in above, and it took me to absolutely the most disgusting Republican web site. There is absolutely no way a true supporter of Mrs. Clinton would be subscribing to such a site or sending anyone to it.

What if McCain comes out against the Iraq war and offers a closeout solution before November?
McCain could take Obama’s #1 issue right out from under him.
If you all think it won’t happen, take a look at Nixon’s “Secret Plan” of 1972.
I was a 20 year old campaigner and voter for McGovern and I couldn’t believe that anyone would reelect Nixon. But, GUESS WHAT?
All it would take is McCain to announce an end to the occupation in Iraq and it would be ALL OVER!
Wise up Youngsters… you don’t have EVERYTHING figured out!

Wow, even Edwards is trying to stomp out the PEOPLES right to choose. Why have primaries at all, if someone in the “force” is just going to step in and stop it. Bully politics. Hillary all the way for me, I hate bullies.

Ah, Khrutch…Now we get to the REAL reason people are upset on this board. Racism is alive and well, even if the Democratic Party, sorry to say. Living next door to WV, I can assure you that was the reason for Hillary’s landslide. It wasn’t a pro-Hillary vote. It was an anti-Black vote. Pure & simple.

Emily said:
“Edwards is yet another opportunist in the same old loser club, latte-left tradition as McGovern, Mondale, Kennedy, Dukakis, and Kerry. Nothing new here.”
So could some conservative explain to me what exactly it is about lattes that infuriate conservatives so much? It’s coffee and milk. Is it the steam that bothers you so much?

There is one clear winner and it isnt Hillary Clinton.
Obama is the winner.
Clearly and fairly.
You dont play one on one baskteball with someone and all of a sudden grab a tennis racket.
The game was played and won by Obama. Nothing else should be said sorry

WOW JULES,
VERY VALID POINT,
JULES FOR VP
MCCAIN SUPPORTERS ARE CLUELESS

hey propsych
- the people i know who were for obama before, still are but most of all the people i know are for hillary and the majority of them say they will vote for mccain if hillary is not our nominee
- now, you may be to young to know but i have never heard of so many people ever say something like this before ESPECIALLY that a dem would vote gop!
it goes against our grain! BUT WE WILL!
we would rather have a patriot than someone whose patriotism is questionable and whose wife if not proud of this country!
are you kidding me!
no hill, then mccain will win. mark my words!

McCain, most certainly will not win.

Isnt patrionism also being a community organizer working to better communities.
Isnt patrionism someone who unites the people of american for a common cause.
Isnt patrionism someone who wants to better the average american not the elite and wealthy?
Get SERIOUS people cause its time for change

Ben, the media CNN, MS/NBC and smaller affiliates provided positive campaigning for Obama, as though he were a rock star 24/7. Oprah and Barbara Walters. It’s WEIRD. Control of the media is a great advantage and yet half of the primary voters have made our choice known. Half of the primary voters support Hillary inspite of the bombarding Obama propaganda. It is because we know she is the most policy savvy candidate. To me, she is far more qualified.

She may be qualified but not for presidency. Her campaign is in the red, that shows bad fiscal resopsibility. Her experience was as a first lady not a president or vp. No one can tell me one constructive bill she passed as a first lady. And oh yeah, that senate position, not sure what she accomplished there cause, oh yeah, thats right she didnt accomplish anything. For al the Hillary supporters i want factual evidence as to why she is more prepared on day one as a president than obama. I want facts. If you can provide them I will support her instead starting tonight. But that wont happen cause there are no facts.
Please look at facts and once you do it will be Obama Time.

Ben, she has proven to be far more knowledgeable than Obama during debates, which is why he has not wanted them. He also doesn’t need them because of the free? propaganda.

tony, McCain won’t win even if some Hillary supporters vote for him. Even the republicans don’t like him. Consevatives stay home and other republicans will cross party lines. So you will just cancel each other out. A dem wins no matter what.

Andrew, duh! I am a half black, Puerto Rican. I don’t buy into PROPAGANDA! Come on, look at all the POWER behind this guy. Money and fullforce media propaganda. Remember how in love they were with Bush? I don’t like it, it’s very creepy. Everyone knows it’s propaganda on a gargantuan scale. Protests take risks, I am all for protesting injustice, I am all for writing Hillary in if the Obama control center tries to rip this off.

I was praying hard for Edwards to support Hillary but he did not.
Elizabeth Edwards even supported Hillary’s health plan.
I wouldn’t even want to think what Al Gore would do.
You know that Hillary got most of the delegates from her recent win. But Obama got 30 delegate support this past week.
So it is really getting difficult for her. I think that she only has some chance if they have a revote in Florida and Michigan but it seems DNC does not want to change the silly rule they made in the first place and Obama does not want a revote because his camp knows that Hillary would do extremely well against Obama even in a revote.
I am disappointed with Jack Cafferty who has been poking fun at Hillary with his silly comments- he said that Hillary is the last guest at a dinner table who does not know when it’s time to go away.
I really hope that once all this is over there is a dream team – if Obama wins the nomination then Hillary’s supporters would want her to be on the second top spot and vice versa.
Edwards just said last week that he was not ready to endorse anyone and now Hillary gets this huge win and Edwards makes a complete turn and supports Obama. Like Carville said of Richardson he too is a Judas

Tony, I do wholeheartedly agree with you that “there are greater interest at stake than the supreme court”. I am very puzzled however at how those interest are advanced only by the election of Mrs. Clinton even more perplexing is how the election of a Republican who is kowtowing to the right wing nuts of that party going to advance those interest.
I too am a black person, and as I have stated earlier I perhaps unlike you, have voted for Mrs. Clinton on two occasions. I have supported her run for the presidency, but I just do not understand why I must be of the opinion that her loss should be the end of my world.
Tony, the truth is that Mrs. Clinton has no one but herself to blame for where she finds herself now. She started this race way ahead of everyone else. She had a lot more money, more name recognition, and more party “bigwig” support. She and her advises blew it early in the campaign. That is the reality, I watched the campaign go through what was absolutely the most amateurish campaign ever. I cringed with the sniper nonsense, and other errors. I voted for her in New York in the primary (That vote incidentally makes it 3 times that I have voted for her.)
Tony everything you are now saying about it being or not being the time for Obama to run was said of Bill Clinton when he ran. I remember well how disgusted the establishment in the party were with this upstart governor from a small state. I can go on and on, but the bottom line is that I see no sense in a supporter of Mrs. Clinton throwing the election to McCain only because Mrs. Clinton does not get the nomination.
Obama is a democrat and is very much qualified to be president, I will vote for him if Mrs. Clinton does not get the nomination. I will like to suggest that all other supporters of her do likewise.

Obama trusted Hillary enough to help him get elected.
Him and you saying that she is not trustworthy only reflects your character – not hers.
That pus of nastiness is only coming from Obama supporters.

JJane – Obama is not qualified to be president. Period.
Continually comparing Obama to Bill Clinton does not make him qualified. Period.
Obama is not JFK, Obama is not Bill Clinton, Obama is not Hillary, Obama is not anyone great from our historic democratic party – Obama is Obama…
…and that is someone that does not love this country,…
… Obama is someone who married someone who does not love this country, Obama is someone who has less than 3 years in the Senate for which 2 he has spent running to be president.
We have had a pot smoking coke head who was a loser and Obama has said he was too – we do not need that.
The only thing Obama has been good at is the caucaus system which is not representative of the popular vote.
Also, Obama is greedy and only cares about himself. No, I didn’t agree with him when he supported Wright BUT I did respect him! Now, I don’t even respect him! Obama threw Wright under the bus just like he did his grandmother – who took him in when he no longer wanted to live with his mother because she was on welfare – for who he continually uses his dead mother for like his life was sooooooo hard – give me a break – private schools, elementary on to university – yeah, tough.
Do you understand yet why I will be voting McCain if Obama steals this nomination?

I don’t want a legend or a this or a that in the oval office…I Do want a President a real honest to goodness President who can really get ahold of the mess we are in and lead the country out of it…still hoping one will show up before November…If a real candidate came forward they would probably be driven back into obscurity.

Davis – I understand that these sites are dominated by all you pus filled Obama supporters but don’t squirt your pimple at us because us Hillary supporters are here tonight. We do exist even if MSNBC, CNN, etc. tell you that we don’t.
By the way, WHY hasn’t Obama gotten this yet? O yeah, US!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahah

jozy -
i love the way you represent yourself.
just like an obama supporter.
ha ha ha

All the ridiculously angry rants here prove this is GREAT NEWS!
The UTTER FEAR in these comments is absolutely palpable. I love seeing all you weasels squirm.
A REVOLUTION is coming to this country and many of you will finally get fair medicine, by choking on your own bile.

Seriously – your right – listening to you is putting me to sleep – yawn…

Benjamin F. – yes, this is great news because odumba thinks edwards is worth anything that he made such a big deal about it
he is so full of himself he didn’t even respect the people enough to campaign in w.v. – what’s not surprising? is that is it not surprising.
obama is full of himself and not love for this country.

we’re supposed to take someone seriously when they don’t even have the respect to call another human being by his given name – way to go! I doubt seriously that you have ever served your country in any capacity other than being a total dipstick

tony, I could say the same thing about Hillary supporters and their distasteful posts about Obama. I find them equally disturbing. Red states may remain red and blue may remain blue but I’m not so sure. But I think the swing states, not all, will go dem. The republicans are very dissatisfied with their own party. And it’s starting to show. Should be interesting.

“This is our moment to tear down that wall, to end this divide (and just TAKE IT, we’re the ones that matter)…blah, blah, balh…” paraphrasing Edwards.

This is a classic example of the media chopping up a statement to produce a different meaning. The Clinton adviser says: “Well, I don’t think it’s good news, but there’s a lot of news in this business and we move forward and move past it.” The quote is transformed into a defeatist “It’s Not Great News”.

Hillraisers-
What exactly has Hillary Clinton accomplished that makes her so much more experienced and ready to take the oath of office?
What were her major accomplishments in the Whitehouse as first lady, healthcare? children’s education? international diplomacy? What hallmark legislation or change has she been responsible for in the last 16 years.
The only real measure we have to compare these two candidates against, truly, is their campaigning style, how they answer questions on their leadership qualities. What sense we get on their character.
With that, who has run a dirtier campaign, Obama or Hillary? Who has used more angles to try and angle a win, Obama or Hillary? Hillary has gone from Big States, to Electoral Votes, to Swing States to Popular Votes – all on the wrong side of the actual results, but all also “spin-able” to her agenda.
For the last three months, SDs have been breaking to Obama 2:1, pledged delegates roughly equal, yet she refuses to conceded to begin to help heal some of the divisions she is stoking on the campaign trail.
And yet you still support her, to the point you would not vote for her if she doesn’t win, well she not going to win! So are you really going to vote for McCain? Then you’re not really a Democrat – not that that’s wrong but stop pretending – your passions are blinding your judgement.

Rizz – but we are laughing now

lol, I don’t know why, I guess hope springs eternal

John Edwards is a twit. He was never a real candidate (even in ’04) and I truly find myself annoyed whenever I hear him speak.
Anyways, I have no idea why Obama is grandstanding on this endorsement. Edwards’ support for him is nothing new.
Maybe John Kerry can give Obama some tips on how to debate.

no not at all, I’m just making conversation, I’m not trying to convert anyone, I really don’t care who you vote for, so don’t get it twisted

Billie Elliot: YES!

Seriously please don’t call me a naive little girl when I am 53. How old are you. And please stop with the Wright, it is so childish. Go ahead and vote McCain, he won’t win.

tony – you literally made me lol and i am still smiling as i wright (sorry) write this! lol!!!!!!

Hey tony .. did I hit a nerve there. Sorry

Jay, don’t tell me I don’t have conviciton. I have been a loyal volunteer to the Democratic party all my adult life. I don’t have to explain it to you. This is an unjust election you may claim any self righteous things you want. I will not accept forceful propaganda against half of the primary voters who are the long time core of the Democratic Party. We will stand against the injustice and with that there is always a risk worth taking.

Goodnight Seriously and you too Tony! I really enjoyed reading your posts. You too Bill “Go Billy!”

Okay, one more. Gee I know Rizz; It’s as if all the black people were to vote for Obama, oh wait. Except for me, Black Puerto Rican…FOR HILLARY! Ok, goodnite.

JJane, that’s a great point – , a woman’s right to choose could be at risk. 2 or maybe 3 supremes are going to be named in the next 8 years. This is a big election and we need to be unified.
Democrats support better ideals. Why is there such a rift!

Tony,
remember Obama was raised by white folks not black folks, so the value and views that were instilled in him comes from white folks, so of course he’s going to seperate himself from wright, but my true belief is he don’t share the views of wright, forget the fact that his skin is a little dark, he was born to a white mother raised by white grandparents in hawaii of all places, however I grew up in inner city miami, so you better believe I share wright views, it all about what you’ve had to go through in this country

Tony-
There is no argument with you, you don’t listen to any point not in complete alignment with your own. I doubt you’re even reading the posts.
Again, you’re just an agitator – and frankly, an incoherent one.

hey tony,
it’s been real, but i’m out

The democratic party has found a way to lose the general election again.
This time, it spells:
BO

The faux uniter has managed to unite the losers of elections past. This is the change that we’ve been waiting for? I’ll keep waiting then.

Same warmed over far left agenda, that didn’t work 4 years ago and won’t work in November. Time to move closer to the center or lose half of the party.

I think Tony is a Clinton campaign plant, but he stopped responding because the utility company cut the power at his local campaign office over back due bills.
Can’t blog by candle light can you!

I think the kool-aid has given the Obama people amnesia. Does Kerry/Edwards ring a bell? The 2 losers from 4 years ago. I didn’t think the Democratic party could have a weaker candidate than Kerry, but they’ve proven me wrong. Time to re-shuffle the party and look for a backbone.

I’m NOT voting for “SWEETIE” Obama. What a sexist!

Obama on Tuesday, guess I need some working class votes, Obama on Wednesday, I’ll get Edwards, that should fool them.
Hey check out my flag pin.
Want some more Kool Aid.

All you Clinton supporters, let me ask you one question. If Hillary does not get the nomination, do you think she will not vote or would rather vote for McCain? If the majority of her supporters feel that way, it does not reflect very good on your candidate. Remember, for every one of you who does not vote, there will be 5 new Obama supporters going in your place. Think about it……………

i amazing to me how soon we forget about
the job lose do to bill clintons nafta aagreement. i say all af the barack
suppport not vote and see if hillary
and bill could win the whitehouse
barack supporter. i for one will sit
this one out.

His endorsement just means, if Obama and that is a big if, gets the nomination that he will lose in the fall and here is one reason why:
Women have been messed over for many years by the Democrat Party and it appears that millions of “US” will be returning the favor, should this primary continue on its current path. Hillary Clinton is clearly the best choice to be our current parties’ choice as the nominee for President. As a life-long Democrat (55), I find it unacceptable to tolerate just how my party has hosed their most loyal and largest voting block; women. I am confident the Democrat Party will pay a severe price for this blatant assault on us women. Cry all you want about this being “sour grapes” but, little good will result in your on-going efforts to unite Hillary’s staunch supporters around “your chosen candidate” and not the peoples. All the Democrat Party wants us to do now is get their selected, from the start, elite, wimp Barack Obama elected in November. It will be a cold day in hell before I do that and I hope Hillary Clinton walks away from this Party, as well. As with most of the women I have contact, as well as many men, are finished with the Democrat Party now and forever. Many of “US are starting a grassroots movement to assure these kind of sorry tactics employed by my now soon to be former party, favoring a man who clearly has no shot without her support to win over the best women who can win this on her own, will never happen again. Until the final results are in Democrat Party leaders, we will just have to wait and see how things turn out once this primary season comes to a close. I for one am changing my registration to Independent, if not Republican, on the same day that I vote for Hillary in Kentucky. Once all our votes are counted, if you the party leaders allow that to happen, you’ll just have to wait and see how deep this “bitterly disappointed” and highly ashamed of this blatant insult to women is across America. To do this to the largest voting block in America is truly, for my soon to be former Democratic Party, a travesty. Bye, bye now and good riddance from Mary L. O’Bryan, Louisville, KY, soon to be former Democrat, no matter what happens in the primaries left to come.

This endorsement should open up the
floodgates for the super delegates to
put Obama over the top and end this
process!
Turn out the lights, the party’s over!
Time to go home Hillary and take
Bill with you!

one person one vote failed in the democracy proportional delegate process
and w/ florida and mich voters being disenfranchised in the millions well before the obama train wreck got its momenteum…
i can not say..democracy is safe and health in its birthplace in the modern world or era

john from california…
its not conservatives who are put off by latte liberals [they lol at you]
…its those of roosevelt dems in
working class regions like pa and southern ohio and wva and ky and indiana and and and and who are very concerned for the true downtrodden and working classes of this nation
got milk?

If I saw someone that I deeply cared about behaving in a manner that could be ultimately detrimental to them, would it be accurate to say that I was not proud of their behavior, but I loved them anyway? Would that make me anti- them or a realist commenting on the behavior and not the person? If they changed, would I be wrong to be proud of them? My oldest son volunteered to go into the special forces and made the grade. He did not one day in his life, wear a flag pin… does that make him un-patriotic? Be glad,be very glad that you live in America, a country that allows you to speak freely… and speak you do. How many of you “arm-chair commentators” have or are seriously planning to run for public office? You are so quick to spout hate and judgemental diatribes. What is elite about a child, who comes from a single parent housewhole who, having been raised by grandparents dared to run for the highest office in this, the most powerful country in the free world? He had the audacity to try (and succeed) to get the best education that he could. He didn’t come from money and he didn’t marry money. He and his wife still have school loans to pay. So much for being “Elite.”
Where else but in America could a woman dare hope to be in the position to run for the highest office in a society that was and is male-dominated? Where else but in America could a woman rise above the filandering of her spouse (who happened to hold the highest office in the land), public humiliation, financial scandal and still be beloved by so many people? You, who name call and back bite among yourselves do both of these candidates a disservice. At least they had the guts to open themselves up to such awful scrutiny and run for office. You may feel that one is more qualified than the other and that is your right, but you will never know for sure how they will perform until they are in office. What you should know is that this country cannot afford four more years of republican mentality and the proof of that is in the performance of the present administration. Our favorite may not win the democratic nomination, but, given the minute differences in their positions, the nominee deserves our support. If you vote out of spite, you just might get more of the same. If that be the case, don’t whine and don’t complain. Know that it was your vote,your spite, your bias that enabled it. My son has done more than just sit back and critize…he is putting his life where his heart is. He is doing what he felt that he could do to bring about a change. I challenge those of you who make such astute observations from the safety of your pc’s to do something other than spout venom and meaningless rhettoric. Get off of your sanctimonious blogging behinds and make your local, state and national officials be accountable. Run for office insteaad of just running your fingers and your mouths. Channel that energy into something productive.
As for me, at 53 I’m back in school pursuing a degree in Psychology. I have a 4.0 and I ‘ve worked my ### off to get it. I’m going to get my doctorate (school loans and all) so that I can help fix a mental health system that is broken. Our troops need this support with the high instances of PTSD and trauma behind having limbs blown off by a people who hate us. This is what I can do.(Wouldn’t you hate a people that allowed their government to levy sanctions on food and chlorine which caused your children to die at a rate of 5000 per month because they could not purify the water or eat? This is what this administration did. That would be kind of like blowing up a building filled with innocent people to get back at the one who gave the order hummm…hurting people hurt people.) We need a gross revision in policy and a gross revision in mindset. What kind of example are we setting if we tear each other apart? How grown up we appear when we don’t know how to deal with disappointment. These blogs, for the most part indicate that we, as Americans, don’t even like ourselves. They reek of disrespect and intolerance… of a diseased character and small-mindedness… of the absence of a soul. Our children are watching us and they mimic what they see and repeat what they hear… and we wonder what would make our young people want to kill each other. This is what we are teaching them. The greatest teacher of humanity said ” Let he, who is without sin, cast the first stone.” The world is watching us. We are better than this. We know better and thus, we have a responsibility to do better. We are a people to whom much has been given, and therefore, much is required. We take so much for granted, but only in America do we have the right to do so. Only in America… Stop the madness, drop the rocks, breathe, re-focus… let’s get our act together.
