Clinton Says Elections Can Turn in a Day

I scorn those who think that Hillary Clinton should give up because they say she should. Why doesn’t Rookie U.S. Senator Obama give up instead? After all, Obama is not going to win Ohio, Florida, or the U.S. presidential election in November. Since he is going to lose in November anyway, why doesn’t the National Media ask him to give up, step aside, and let a real fighter, Hillary Clinton, to go toe-to-toe with John McCain instead.

Yes they can, and it did on may 6th.
It is not Hillary’s to win it is Obama’s to loose, and he certainly is not going to do that.
She will get the message.

Obama DID say that Indiana was the “tiebreaker” at one point, right?

A spate of new public polls out this week confirms what we have been arguing for some time: Hillary Clinton is the strongest candidate to beat John McCain in November.
The data shows that Clinton not only outperforms Obama in head-to-head matchups, but is also stronger in the all important subcategories that serve as bellwethers for a candidate’s overall strength. In addition, new data out today in three swing states vital to Democratic prospects in November show Clinton beating McCain.
YoBama!

There’s one problem…Back in NH, there was time to make gains. We only have a handful of delegates left. No enough time for her to make her gains

Hey
If you can believe you ducked sniper fire I guess it’s a fair point that she believes that this is not over.

Why in the world are you people donating?!?
You do realize that all that money is going to pay her loan. It will not be positive income for her campaign. She is down 11.4 Million, there is no way you guys can raise that, especially after a brutal loss like that last night. (Notice how not one clinton surroagate talked about the money they raised from their IN win). Any money you donate will have nilch effect on her campaign.
Your campaign is dead in the water and is relying on getting MI/FL votes allocated, which even then still has you behind!
What I find more insulting is that Clinton campaign has zero care for any of Obama’s supporters who will feel pained if she becomes nominee, yet wields her supporters like a threat to get superdelegates to hold off.
No Class.

I like Eloise Harper. Eloise is a trustworthy reporter, always fair and objective, with respect.
Media simply refuses to give Hillary credit for winning Indiana – she came from behind and outspent 2-to-1, with national media on Obama’s side.
I’m 100% certain Obama could not match up to what Hillary has achieved under the similar circumestances.

OMENTUM…
get real.. he definately is not wiping the floor with her!!! if that were the case, it would be over. and whether you will admit it or not, the only thing that is giving him the nomination is because of racial fallout the democrats will face if the supers vote for her. i guarantee you, three quarters of the supers WANT to pick hillary, but are to invested in barack. could you imagine the black populations reaction at this point if they voted for her?! the party of the people, the party that has taken care of them for decades??!! we all know that. she is much more experienced, and more toward the center than this leftist. he dosnt stand a chance aginst mccain. america will not vote for a socialist, plain and simple. at least hillary is towards the middle a little. i could see america giving her a shot, but not this guy.. not in a million years.

I, for one, am praying that Hillary stays in the race and wins the nomination. She has all the credentials that are desirable in a candidate-unlike BO. She is articulate, has experience, and most of all a love of country, which Obama & wife do not. The more we learn about him and his friends, the less assured I am that he is really a patriot. I cannot believe that the black population share Rev Wright’s beleifs!!

will-
When was the last time you saw Hillary wear the flag-pin, because in all the debates, campaign stumps, news apprearance, I have NEVER seen her wearing one!

I can’t figure where anyone says Clinton came from behind in IN. She was leading by about 8% the first of March and kept the lead until the last week in April and regained it the first week of May. Real Clear Politics.

pretty well said nicholas.. after ALL of this chaos, you made the biggest blunder of all that your party could have done… go with barack obama, the MOST liberal man in the senatee to try to win the white house??!! i mean im ecstatic thats the situation, but as a party, how the hell did you end up with this guy?! it just shows where your politics have finally gottn you after all these years.. the beginning of socialism.

No it is not “white working class” I am “white working class”. It has everything to do with where in the country one lives. Some areas are more progressive then others.
Obama08

OMENTUM…
im a conservative. i think BOTH of these canidates are a waste of skin. AND i am not playing for either team… i am stating the truth as a person with
no agenda. i will vote for mccain because i am a conservative, not because i like him. im not like most democrats and leftists who plaster bumper stickers on their cars, try to go and get all the young, clueless voters they can get to the polls, or treat him like the messiah. or like he is going to ” change ” the country and the world. i dont play that game. im picking him because he is the closest thing to a conservative there is left. if barack was a conservative, i would vote for him. im not playing the race card. i am simply saying that obama, at the beginning of all this, had a god like quality with the dems. he couldnt say ANYTHING wrong. as time went on, america found out more about him and his history,(very distubing by the way) but by that point alot of damage was done to hillaryand he had a big lead, and continued to hang onto that lead. let me make two points: if your party and parties state officials didnt make the BIGGEST VOTER MISTAKE/ FRAUD IN MODERN AMERICAN HISTORY, she would have gotten the nomination. if michigan and florida counted, he loses. plain and simple. now, that being said , at this point hillary isnt very far behind. just so happens neither can get the needed delegates. even though the tides have turned from obama and most americans know he has a VERY SKETCHY PAST, and inexperienced there is too much invested in him. he went too far for the supers to say, we cant give it to him. thats all im saying. but what if there is even more chaos to come?? what if they DO something about MI. and FL. ???!! then what?!

50% of voters think that OBAMA’s connection with Rev Wright matters in their votes. 20 years of audacity and hope with a hateful cult is impossible to dissolve by words of denouncement reluctantly displayed in an election.
Out of that 70% breaks for Hillary explicitly. 30% may choose to sit out.
Now if we try to add (0.5*.7) = 0.35 of the votes, Hillary will get 35% of votes before Rev Wright’s issue was exposed. That is very substantial.
I didn’t even count the votes that OBAMA lost because of the issue. Hillary is sitting on a very comfortable cushion when the general election begins. If you add up the votes that he lost from rural American. It must raise lots of eyebrows.
OBAMA would have lost a significant amount of votes. Of course you can count on that OBAMA will still get his 92% of black votes.
Heaven only knows how many Rev. Wright that OBAMA has in his oblivion.
We want a winner; not a scratch or gutter ball candidate who have been trying to dig in a default winning of nomination.
His suggestion of splitting the delegates of Michigan and Florida is outrageous. The whole Obama fans have been trying to set up the tune for Hillary to drop out that we should do it for the party. It sounds like communist party rather than for democracy.
He is not a believer of democracy but an empty suit who tries to steal presidency. Washington is not a rookie camp and this country has the massive destructive weapon in stock.
Are we going to hand this to a questionable candidate?

As the annointed nominee Obama will sweep the remaining primaries right? I mean 23% did not vote for McCain on the GOP side yesterday and it was big news on Drudge.

see, thats the biggest thing i personally dont understand about all of this for you democrats… what is the hurry really??!! put all of the “game” and competition away.. do you NOT know where obama and mccain bothe stand on the issues?! seriously, and your party has SERIOUSLY screwed the voting system already, so whats the hurry?? what do you need to “prepare”??!! the fricking vote isnt till november. think for yourselves and quit making it into a game.

Obama is an admitted drug user. He is a pretty effeminate man married to an angry tall wife. Not so far fetched is it.

geevil you are grasping at straws here. And it’s pathetic what you will do to someone’s character because you don’t want them to be the canidate.

Nancy – Remember Cindy Sheehan? All of you you are now screamin about the war in Iraq hated her too and said “she doesn’t speak for me.” What kind of woman are you anyway — or are you?

Hillary Clinton is a nut who changes the rules as she goes along in order to persist in the fight for what she thinks is owed to her. That makes her eerily similar to our current president and his insistence on bending the rules to justify what he wants to do. THIS LADY IS SCARY!!!

OMENTUM…
please tell me you are kidding…. i know EXACTLY where obama would lead this country… one step closer to socialism. i appreciate the kind words, but i could debate you all day on why mccain will be better for america than obama. but it would be hopeless cause, which is ok. thats the beauty of america. the part that scares me is that certain types of crazy thinking can spread. and slowly, it has spread in america. i dont think we are at the breaking point yet by in large, i mean the average american dosnt want the government to babysit us. and come november thats what it will come down to… do you want the governments nose in everything, or too leave us alone…

I think Obama should be the one to quit. He doesn’t have what it takes to take all the heat and jab that Clinton is getting from the media and other. Most importantly he doesn’t have a specific plan with his so called “change” and “hope”. Those can be for the worst.
Obama is not going to win the general election. Republicans are the ones whose voting for him in the caucuses and small primaries. I wouldn’t even waste my vote on him. McCain will pound him in Nov. election.

al
Maybe you wouldnt. But since obama is the “new kid on the block” going against the lead name in the dem party, everyone would be beating the drum soooo loud… he would be forced to quit.

Tim>>>> leave us alone and they are crying fix my mortage fix the gas give me money for oil fix this do that you all cry for the governmant to fix all your messes.Make up your dumb minds.Who is going to give this dumb broke woman money and if they do they are DUMB all she wants is gets hers back and then she will drop out.Can’t by buy the White house. Clinton is now gone….but then again they play DIRTY ,,,,

H…
im not sure if you agree wtih me or not.. i really didnt understand.. lol all i can say is, the more the government tries to fix problems, THEY MAKE THEM WORSE. thats why democrats and their huge government makes problems worse. because they think that they should be able to make everyones decisions for them, and take care of EVERYONE. look at what a joke the welfare system is in this country and that pretty much sums up a democrats mindset. they are smarter than us. and now you have obama and hillary saying we should take money from oil companies profits??!! and set up a board deciding what is a feasable amout of profit??!! what??!! is this america or communist russia??!! give me a break…

She is trying to put a brave face on this. But as some point this is too much about her and too little about people.
There is something as over staying your welcome. That’s where Hillary is now. There is no chance in hell she could be the nominee unless she is looking for a coup of some sort.
I’m sorry, but at this point it’s just plain stupid.

Let us not kid ourselves, all those screaming BO is not electable are the same people who have not liked him from day1 and would not vote for him anyway
At this point, they are trying to pretend to be democrats but they are truly not if they want to vote McSame because their candidate lost.
If they are so concerned about his religion, why are they not asking McSame the same questions about Hagee?????

OMENTUM…
first off, i never said he was my ideal canidate.. lol i would much rather have a more conservative to vote for come november than him. that being said, i will vote for him because he is the most conservative. plain and simple. as for the economy, he was simply trying to say he dosnt know alot about the economy.. lol the president isnt supposed to be an economist. they have to have a general idea, and he does, but he or she appoints advisors to deal with it. the war in iraq, im not so sure about. i can read through the lines when he says we could be there for a hundred years, but it dosent sound good. he needs to rephrase that a little. the sunni or shia thing, also not really his job right now. 99 percent of the troops over there dont know the different factions because they change all the time! dont take things so literally all the time. the gas tax holiday? its the political season, what can i say. they all have to play the game. as for why he is more electable than barack… barack is extremely liberal and inexperienced!!! he can preach all day about changing the way washington works because thats all he has to go on!!! read throught the lines again! he dosnt have the exprerience yet in washington, so he can try to fool people into thinking he will be “different”. do you ACTUALLY think he will be different?! he is way to far left on the war(pulling out immeadiately, which would be an utter disaster), the border issue(not going to be strong as most americans are demanding), the economy (you think mccain dosent know the economy but he does?!), health care(our country simply CANNOT afford what he or hillary wants, and america dosnt want socialized health care, go ask canada)… i could go on, but these are just a few

Where did George Bush’s experience get us Tim?

It’s a tough situation for Hillary for sure. I don’t understand why Obama attorneys went to such great lengths to block revotes in FL and MI. But they did and without those two states in play, it’s just about undoable. She’s a tough, smart leader who really hit her stride of late. She’s razor close in every measure, but Obama still has a lead in every way. I hope the Dem primary system will be reformed because it stinks. What a jumble of nonsense with proportional delegate apportionment, superdelegates, a mix of caucuses and primaries and sometimes both in the same state, and of course, MI and FL. The rules are bizarre, but both candidates played by them and Obama has edged her out. Now the burden shifts to Obama to win the general.

Exactly Too late. True dems would not vote for a republican in this ecomony. And George Bush did this to us. And yet they want McCain. I guess the economy is not hurting Hillary supporters, but it sure is hurting me.

Hillary is tough, but she is not trustworthy. Were she president she would be as opaque as Bush is. For me her mendacity outweighs her toughness. Make a deal with the devil and you end up in the dark world. This country did it with Bush and look where we are.
But I do understand why some are impressed.

If Obama will be the president then the time during Bush going to be feel like the golden one. And you can put it in the bank

tim I could go into a long answer for you but what I have realized on these blogs is that people don’t really read the long posts. And I have put a lot of thought into them so I don’t do that anymore. So I just do short answers now.

Obama will be the nominee – it is time to move on. The argument that women will not come over to Obama is false. Any pro-choice woman (or man) should think twice before voting for McCain. McCain has said he wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and there are two Supreme Court Justices who are due to come off the bench. Stevens is 88 and Ginsburg is 75.
While some of you are spewing worthless vile back and forth in an obscure effort to claim the high ground for your candidate – issues and concerns are being left in the dust. It is time to move on.

By the way the media is behaving, one would think that Hillary had not won 5 of last 6 primaries. Yes, Obama only won 1 of them. Obama has *lots* of skeletons in his closet that are soon to be published by the main stream media. Pay attention, people. Think for yourselves and quit acting like sleeping sheep. Hillary is the only one who has a clue of the three folks left. Obama freaks, YOU are the ones that need to let go. You are all in a deep state of denial. You don’t want to believe that he is the dirtiest kind of politician because he told you otherwise. You all still want to believe that he’s the messiah. He ain’t. And ya’ll need to wake up immediately. Hillary exaggerated her story about the sniper fire and whatnot, ya, ya. But Obama full-on LIES and PLAGERIZES and PANDERS. Obama is chummy with the oil companies, yo! We don’t need anymore big oil folks in the white house. Please, wake up before you nominate this sleaze.

HRC never comments upon the loss of our Constitution rights which she approved by voting for the anti-American terrorist bill. She is part of the problem. Obama will restore the Constitution.
She will not. Her politics and policy is to take the play from the right wing by out winging them. She doesnt say anything about habeas corpus, your right to be charged with a crime. Wonder why?
The Constitution says that only in the event of an invasion or insurrection can habeas corpus be TEMPORARILY suspended.
Never hear her say a thing about habeas corpus?
Right. She wants things just the way they are.
Vote for Obama and change her politics by terror back to freedom for America.

Becker
Obama says he was a full professor of Constitutional law but indeed he wasnt! 50 percent of those that voted for Clinton in IN will not vote for Obama … my Rep in NC heath shuler is now a Clinton superdelegate no deal she will not drop out

Ronnn
NO Never.. we will always support Hilalrry and never Obama and you need us to win the GE so you arent gettin a thing

I feel a Hillary love fest here. Oh Hillary we will never leave you. What is up with that.

what a lot of words with no enlightenment on who is best qualified to be president. Go Hillary, go. Don’t
let the male dominated biased media
relegate you to the back of the bus.

staniam,
I dont know what kind of teaching job he had at Northwestern law school, what his title was.
Your “ad hominem” consideration is irrelevant.
He does say he will restore our civil rights, habeas corpus.
I care about the Constitution.
I took an oath to defend it against all enemies, foreign AND domestic. HRC is a player, scared to come out and stand up for your rights, my rights, our rights. She is afraid of the swiftboaters, I suppose. I dont need to speculate on her motives, why she never speaks out on this. The fact is, she doesnt, and Obama does.
Your insinuation about his teaching job is not material to the facts, sir.

First of all, Obama won Texas, he won more of the states delegates. She has no path to victory. A vote for McCain is a vote for more right wing supreme court justices who want to decide what a woman does with her own body.
Enough said.

JOE…
the rev. wright thing IS AN ISSUE!!! its just too far along now that he has got the nomination. and it will continue to be an issue until he loses in november, dont fool yourself.

Wright is only an issue to narrow minded people. I could care less about him. I want real issues discussed. What will Obama do about the economy and the war and health care.

Hillary can still win I can’t believe they are using the same republican play book against her. Obama has been negative from day one he wasn’t runing as ablack man but how many time did he say he was bi-racial . Vote McCain the house and senate will be democratic.its good to see our Democratic leaders are split and fighting its been going on for fifty years they are always split .

Alice, it is not about whether the media are dominated by men. Is about her character.
And about her willingness to undermine the democratic process in her grasp for the office.
Consider the following two points, please.
A. Thou shall not bear false witness.
1. HRC spoke in NH and said Michigan should not count.
2. Her chief advisors voted in the DNC committee that Michigan should not count.
3. Now they say it should count. That is bearing false witness. They signed papers. It is not refutable.
B. Why is NH first? Democracy. If a pair of big states were indeed first, say MICH and FLA with a combined population of 35 million, then only the name brands like movie stars and political families with great wealth, and the super wealthy could compete from the start.
ALICE: By having teeny NH first, anyone writing on this blog could campaign for a few months and have their point of view heard in town halls in the few towns in the entire state. That’s democracy. So, not only is she a liar on this issue of counting MICH, because she spoke clearly to NH that MIch must not count, but it is a lie on the most important aspect of the election itself, that the electoral process may be available to you, and me, as well as the Rockefellers, Kennedys and actors, Ronald Reagan, for instance.

Is the Democrat run entering the ruthless zone? Let’s see, mathemagically impossible to get the needed delegates; Hillary exhibiting a defiant posture; Loaning her own money to the campaign; She is slowing the verbal attacks on Obama … times appear desperate.
Both candidates have made exaggerated mistakes that can be attributed to being stretched thin by their respective campaigns. Let’s hope that sanity prevails. It’s a bit like a playground fight brewing. Both opponents have started with how good they are, moved on to how bad the other is, and now with the aid of the media inflaming both sides, the candidates are posturing to take their best shot for the end game.
The question is, what is Hillary hoping/waiting for – Obama to get the Bird Flu? Or is she waiting?
Yikes, this sounds dark… I guess I don’t trust Hillary very much after watch Bill’s antics — guilt by association. Perhaps I’m watching too many CSI movies.

I think Obama put the fix in last night so it would look like Hillary had not won he is a dirty pol.but then every one has read how he won he first seat,in ILL.

Bishop
absolutely Hillary can still win they are just trying to set us up and move the goal posts it has been and will continue to be the purpose oft he superdelegates and the delegates at the convention to go with the candidate who is better to win regardless of who has the most popular votes or delegates the convention has gotten into a hollywood produced show that looks silly there needs to be real policy debates and discussions etc

JOE…
well first of all, your friend voting for obama because he simply dosnt like mccain is ridiculous. you still have to look at the big picture. i agree with you, the rev. wright thing may be on the back burner a bit by the time of the general. but believe me, people are not going to forget that when they go to vote!!! you think people just forget or dont care about peoples associations?!?! its not an afterthought. and as far as obama actually beating mccain, thats just ridiculous.. lol
imean, i guess anythings possible, and it dosnt pay to argue about it but he is waaaaay to left to get anybody on the border to go that way. and i think the republicans are a little better at uniting behind a canidate… lol i mean, alot of people dont want mccain as the canidate, me included, but i stand behind him. he is the best i have to vote for and i will support him. and the republican party will do the same thing. there isnt going to be all the drama like you guys have done here… talking about hope and change isnt going to cut it. lol

If you don’t believe in yourself who else can you believe in. I still believe in Hillary.

Erin,
The problem is Obama keeps saying on the rally and his ads that he never take money from lobbiest.
That is wrong. He lied.
I don’t even care if he did not say it.
The Clinton library is for foundation to help people in the world including Katrina victims and African Children.

staniam, how is Obama cheating

There’s always a lot of intellectual laziness in these political comments. Tim, if you can’t equate the now over 1000 lies for the war in Iraq by the Bush administration as contributing to the state of our economy (at a cost of over 3.2 trillion), then you are not as balanced as you claim. I happen to be a FISCAL conservative who would have to pay much higher taxes if Bush’s tax cuts were repealed. Most people don’t realize that today, the top 5% of our country pays 60% of the TOTAL tax burden (have a look at the IRS website if interested). Having said that, I will gladly pay those taxes for an INTELLIGENT honest leader with a vision for working together. Yes, Obama scares the hell out of me with his liberal voting record (however don’t trust the “most liberal” rating as these have been highly biased in the past). But isn’t it time to have an honest leader with an IQ north of 80? Why would you want a pair of pathological liars again? Doesn’t anyone remember the bitterness and nastiness during the Clinton years that lead to the voter backlash resulting in the Bush presidency? So what, if Clinton gets in, we’ll have Rush Limbaugh running in 2012 (or Laura Bush)? And McInsane is the epitomy of pandering. I like his candidacy – in 2000! Now he’s just become a flip-flopper with no spine who’s pandering to the Bush presidency for god’s sake!
We have no perfect candidate – certainly no fiscal conservative. Without that choice, I vote for intelligence, honesty, and someone who actually started at the bottom.
I really wish everyone would question what they read or hear more – MSM and intellectual laziness is destroying our country.

I heard Obama speech lastnight after he won NC.
He sounded like he was the nominee already and said we need to unite.
Now,,he is afraid he can not get Hillary’s supporters votes, I guess.

Women are great Leaders and this is the perfect time that we need a woman to lead this great nation. Go Hillary fight it to the end. Women always work way harder for whatever that we have. Qualification wise she is well educated,well experienced her heart is clearly into service a blessed with a tight strong family. I pray God will guide you through becoming the next president of the United States.
Obama is a smoking mirror, Good clothes and good talk no substance. America Please wake up go vote for HILLARY

Hillary is the strongest person the democrats can put up against McCain. Her electability surpasses Obama. Her experience surpasses Obama. Her tenacity surpasses Obama. Her transparency surpasses Obama. Hillary is completely vetted and Obama is STILL being coddled by the mainstream media. Why is the media afraid to be half as tough on Obama as they’ve been on Hillary?! The spin makes medisgusted. Let’s be FAIR!! Hillary is tough and she has every right to stay in this race, and every right to be elected the nominee of the party. RISE HILLARY, RISE!!

Ahlene,
Good for you. Thanks.
I do the same. I take my time to pray for her everyday.

Fl favors Hillary strong middle age to sen, women who love Bill and Hill. He better hope McCain doesn’t pik Mitt or MI is a no go for him,

Stanium..I don’t care which one of the clowns makes it. They are all a bunch of liars.
If you haven’t figured out you have been lied to incessantly by the Clinton’s, and Bush, then you are the fool.
They spend our money and don’t pay the bills. They lie to us about having a budget surplus….and paying down the debt.
Our country is bankrupt! Dipsticks that can’t figure this, out are the ones that amuse me. Do you really believe that any of these idiots are going to change anything? Give me a break.
516 Trillion dollars of dirivatives being sold by Chelsea Clinton ought to just thrill you also. She makes good money selling the garbage.
The only problem is….The world only produces 60 Trillion dollars of goods a year.
Did any of you ever question how banks can be losing billions of dollars? It’s because of these dirivatives. Bets on debt.
Our country is finacially insolvent. Who cares which idiot runs it? They will just take the blame for the mess.

“It’s not over until it’s over.”

Hillary has done us a great service.
Without her, how do we know what a scumbag that the party wants to stick under our throat. She even used her money to tell us that the empty suit connecting to lunatics is nothing but a fraud.
Thank you Hillary. Support you all the way.
Hillary or McCain, Never OBAMA.

what a bunch of women! LOL.

Hey michelle don’t sweat it girl,she can continue the Bill and Bush policy by selling our country to China.

I bet every Hillary supporter on this board has a hateful story done to tehm by an obama supporter! If their is anyone on the boards right now tell your story! Let these people know you mean business!
