Edwards: Not Interested in VP, Not Thinking About AG

No deal was cut? Yeah, I sure believe that.
And to think Edwards used to be my guy.
Where’s Elizabeth when you need her? SHE should have run!

Edwards is a traitor to the American working class that he teared up about. Political bull****.
He is a traitor to West Virginia who chose who they believe will better represent them and help them.
I cannot get over how out of touch these dems have become.
Hello Edwards – you just betrayed the memory of your father.

Like i said he try the VP thing before,
look for 2 positions
Attorney General
or
Supreme Court justice

BS. maybe wants more $400 haircuts. is he gay?

Hello Edwards – you just betrayed the memory of your father.

AHHH SHUT UP!!!
just because he refuse to be a racist like you and some of those CLOWNS.
Now run along and tie yourself to your
BURNING CROSS.

bill was good enough when edwards needed him. he jumped on the bandwagon and that says alot about him. in new orleans, we hate him; a complete fake living in a mansion and he comes to ghetto here. stay away you backstabber.

He didnt endorse barack obama just for the sake of endorsing him. Like Bill richardson, edwards has an motive. Unfortunately for them, Barack Hussien Obama will never be president.

I have question for Obama supporters, if he is smart, intelligent, charming, why he need so many endorements, when ever he lost a primary he got an endorsement from a loser, that proves that he is weak,he can not stand on his own, some one should hold his back.

Politics of Change! Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha
Politics of Change! Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha
Politics of Change! Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha
This is Obama’s New Washington!
Kennedy – Loser
Kerry – Loser
Richardson – Loser
Dean – Loser
Edwards – Loser
Gore?

bush – loser
cheney – loser
rumsfeld – loser
limbaugh – loser
this will continue in the senate and congress this fall.

PGHPAVOTER….what is amazing is that mc-more-war is only getting 60 – 70% of the vote and noone is running against him.

When you think about it, the DNC is made of nothing more than lawyers who don’t have a clue about how to earn real money in the real world. They only know how to twist things to take money out of each of our pockets. Hey, that’s what a politician does best. They produce no worth, they take money they didn’t earn, and at the end, they sucker you into thinking that they’ve served you. Yes, they served you an excrement sandwich and you thank them for it. That is so pathetic. I had heard on my local CBS radio station today that local US congressmen even charge the taxpayers for gasoline. So, on top of the best healthcare in the world, we pay the $4/gal gas for their SUVs. Yes, SUVs. Then they have the gall to lecture us about our polluting the air.

Many of these posts confirm the republicans are running scared tonight. Dems unite, it’s almost over. Think, Dem president, Dem Senate, Dem Congress. Supreme court that is more balanced and cares about the rights of the people. Defeat neocon ideology.
Vote Dem in 08

Who are all you angry people spewing forth such vitriol and hatred?
Historically, we’ve seen nasty campaigns going back to 1800 so I imagine it’s just the way it’s going to be. But, do you folks really think such rabid disgust for a candidate you don’t like is really in the best interest of this country.

To Sluggo,
You are one of the Rush fools aren’t you. LOL It is the Democratic party not democrat party. LOL.
Come on, know one takes all this hate and crap seriously, it’s all just republicans entertaining themselves. We are not stupid.
Vote Democratic in 08

Geesh, Hillary fans, please don’t be so angry. Hill has had lots of endorsements. I didn’t yell no fair when the Eddy Rendel put his mighty machine to work for her in PA or when Bayh did in IN or when Governor Stricland did in Ohio. I didn’t yell unfair, though I was tempted, when she hired Hispanics by the hundreds to get out the vote in the Texas border country while we were using only volunteers. Mrs. Clinton has had lots of surrogates and endorsements. John Edwards never promised either of them anything and Mrs. Clinton doesn’t resent him. Why so mean about it? I would be disappointed too, but there are limits aren’t there? Do we want to live in a world where there are no limits? Is that the America you’ve been holding in your heart and dreaming of? I know that that isn’t what Senator Clinton has been wanting for you or for any of us.

Im see’n John Edwards as an EXCELLENT Attorney General.

Does Edwards really believes that the american people are so stupid as to buy into his story that there was no deal cut to endorse Obama? He is just an opportunist who ran away from the North Carolina Senate reelection because he knew he would have never been reelected.

ABC, why don’t YOU investigate this? Read below:
”
I am one of many who immediately received a request for funds for Edwards’ pet project just after the endorsement. But I am not a subscriber to any of his stuff. Where did he get my name, and how did he get this mailing out so fast? This bears exploring, I think. I build websites for a living, and I can tell you that getting a huge mass mailing out like this is no small task. It is very server intensive, and a list of that size would require quite a few servers to be crunching those emails out in order to get them all to their destinations as quickly as these did. Did he get the list from the DNC? I used to be on their list, but unsubscribed after they started being so biased toward HRC. I also signed up a long time ago onto barack’s website so I could look around. So it may have been BO’s list. I have never received any solicitations from him, however. Is this the deal Edwards made with Obama? -

posted in anotehr forum

For someone who is running a campaign of inclusiveness, I have never seen so much division. To Clinton supporters: Bill Clinton is not running for president, his wife is. It seems that there is something nostalgic about Hilliary Clinton running for president, as if we are going to suddenly live in the 90s again. We have had the Bush Sr (4 years) Clinton (8 years) Bush (8 years), please, I don’t want another Clinton (4 -???). Lets have something new and promising. We need a change!

C’mon people, think before you hit send.
It does obama supporters no good to flaunt their upcoming victory.
It does hillary supporters no good to suggest that everyone who voted for obama somehow got duped.

Do all you Clinton suppporters feel sorry for the Clintons when they have lied their butts off to you dopes for years and you still carried their garbage. Boy, are you people a bunch of stupid people or maybe you actually thought Hillary did all those things she said like dodging sniper fire. She is pathological on her best days and worse than that most of the time!

Thank you, Mr. Edwards, but I do hope you will consider being Obama’s running mate.

YOu know what the LATEST joke is??? Gore is going to endorse Barry the day after Hillary trounces him in Kentucky! HAHA.. Isn’t that funny! You see a pattern? Big loss in WV = next day endorsement

YOu know what the LATEST joke is??? Gore is going to endorse Barry the day after Hillary trounces him in Kentucky! HAHA.. Isn’t that funny! You see a pattern? Big loss = next day endorsement
Barry desperately needs all the endorsements he can get now! haha

traitor? my god people need medication..im not sure if i should laugh or be mad? its gone too far!
next thing people will be screaming traitor when they wont let her continue to campaign after the winner is announced in november…
this sucks because this looks bad for all women at this point!

John Edwards what a snake. Elizabeth must be really proud of your endorsement of Osama right now. I had thought better of you. Guess alot of people were wrong about what you really stood for. Sad.

LET’S SEE…
HILLARY IS THE #1 LIAR IN THIS CAMPAIGN.
REMEMBER THE BOSNIAN SNIPERS, NORTHERN IRELAND, HER TAXES, THE GIRL IN THE HOSPITAL AND 10 OTHER HUGE WHOPPERS.
HOWEVER, IF YOU SUPPORT OBAMA…
YOU ARE A JUDAS… A SNAKE… AN IDIOT…
WELL, I GUESS HITLER’S SUPPORTERS FELT THE SAME WAY FOR HIM IN 1933, AS HILLARY’S SUPPPORTERS FEEL ABOUT HER.
I UNDERSTAND.

Obama has some serious problems that the media is ignoring. There is nothing but hate and racism abounding in this country right now. Obama is a superficial, arrogant individual who is dangerous. He said he is here to unite.. but he is here to destroy. A uniter doesn’t go to the San Fran elite fundraisers and talk behind America’s back. (and think he can get away with it)

HOW DARE ANY AMERICANB NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY?
ZEIG HEIL!
HEIL HILLARY!

John Edwards has “no clout”. Remember?

Brent: Not funny….if you really want to take your comedy routine on tour I suggest you come up with better material…..or no one will come!

Obama was wrong, it’s Hillary’s supporters who are bitter. Grow up and get over with it. This is politics and Hillary has lost. Listen to Hillary and support the winning candidate.

I can’t believe all the hostility towards John Edwards. Its amazing how some Hillary supporters think she should be the nominee no matter what the voters say. Edwards is entitled to support whoever he wants, its his right, and you should respect that. By the way, names don’t make a person. I’m sure there are some people named John who are sadistic murderers, and others named John who foretold the coming of Jesus….does that mean the name John is bad? No, and the same goes for Hussein…King Hussein of Jordan was a great man, and Saddam Hussein was an evil tyrant…but neither of them have anything at all to do with Barack Obama.

Obama, Edwards & Richardson. what a powerful trio. Black, white & Latino. This Fall, Hillary will have her new job: making burritos, enchiladas, flip hamburger, etc.

Sweat mother of Abraham Lincoln! I don’t get it all these post. If your a democrat then you are ultimately voting to support the party’s platform. Regardless of whether Obama or Clinton wins the nomination. If you don’t vote for Obama because you are not happy that Hillary didn’t win then you are a fool. A vote for McCain is a vote for Bush. Do you really want more of the same for the next 4 years? If you do then you are a bunch of hypocrites and have no business voting for Clinton or Obama.
And what is the deal with highlighting his middle name like its suppose to mean anything. It is a name for crying out loud! If my last name is Bundy does it mean I’m going to be a serial killer! Really what is the point

martha, what exactly is wrong with being muslim. You post that like it’s a dirty thing.

opportunist.

Charles in KY: Impeach Obama? Do the fine voters in Ken-tuck-ieee even know what that means?

I have noticed not only in these political blogs but other blogs as well, that America has alot of anger and almost seemingly hate for others that do not agree with who should be president or if one does not believe the same as they do. None of us actually know any of those running for President, we only know what they tell us and what we research and who ever gets into office is not going solve all the worlds problems. I myself am voting for Barack, I can look beyond all the negative, name calling, slamming of his back ground, just as all of you that are behind Hillary are doing. If Hillary was the nominee I would vote for her, though I am for Barack, why because I do not want to see another 4 years of a republican in office. You know when I read all this that people say about Barack, how they make snide comments about his name, (which he had no choice in what his name is), it paints a picture in my mind of a outsider moving into a new area, going to a new school and everyone makes fun of him, just because they see him as different, and in Baracks case the media has tried to paint a bad image of him and it is sad that many times people are sucked into believe what the media portrays as the truth. As for John Edwards, doesn’t he have the right to support who ever he chooses, we do, I don’t need to get all bent out of shape just because those of you are backing Hillary, so why get all bent out of shape over John Edwards backing Barack. Some are saying on here that he sealed a deal with Barack, that you really don’t know and you don’t know that Hillary could have done the very same thing for some of her supporters, we don’t really know what goes on behind the scenes of politics, and who is lining whose palms, with money or promises.
If you are a true democrat and want to see a democrat in office, why would you vote republican just because your canidant did not get the nominee? Won’t you be screaming with anger even more so knowing another 4 years of Bushes politics are in office, aren’t you bringing more of the same hardship upon yourself and fellow Americans?
If your a real believer in Hillary why would you vote republican, when she says she will support Barack if he is the nominee, wouldn’t her followers, follow her lead?

Democrats across the nation are uniting under the candidate who is ahead in the delegate count according to the last five national polls. Obama’s lead over McCain is also beginning to widen. There may be a few followers of Rush Limabaugh’s “Operation Chaos” here along with the kind of wackos that sound like the kind of people who like Bill O’Riley (the irrational unsubstantiated attacks here are the proof of it).
None of it is strong enough to stop a movement of hundreds of thousands from becoming millions by November. We will number in the tens of millions by 2011 and will shift the course of this nation in ways that most don’t understand. Its not really the candidate that will bring lasting change; it’s the people behind him.
The last three special elections were already a referendum on the kind of divisive tactics that so many “supposed” Hillary supporters here are using. The polls prove that there are enough people in support of Obama for him to win the Presidency, so for all the bluster here, it comes down to this: we marched on the primary states and won the vast majority; we give more of our own money in millions to our candidate; and we will out work all of you to the White House, Congress, and eventually to the Supreme Court. It’s the proof of the commitment in the movement to “Change we can believe in.”

since March 1, hillary has won seven critical states…
obama…two [miss and nc]
and
is oregon truly swing democratic vital in the fall
hardly..and it doesn’t begin to have the importance of say an ohio or pa or
even a wva
lets get the super delegates off of the obama opium trip everyone has taken
who support him
and along w/ the millions of voters in pa and ohio and wva and ky and indiana along w/ ri, tx and cal and ny and nj, and tenn and ark, who voted for hillary
lets have some true national presidential race politics reality checks weigh into this critical discussion here please…before we get four more years of bush

They don’t make a machine that measures how little I care about John Edwards. I was a supporter, even made contributions…..no more. I’m through with him!

appalachianblue: Hate to tell you this but Oregon has more electoral votes than REPUBLICAN WV….RI is the size of a person’s thumb….Texas will go Republican in the fall as will Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana (where she only won because of Limbaugh)….NY, NJ and CA are the most liberal states in the country and will always go Dem. (didn’t California give the go ahead for gays to get married today?)…..

ABC, For your information, Obama is not the presumptive Democratic nominee. He has not attained the necessary number of delegates and if the Democrats have any brains at all, it would be a good idea for them to reconsider cramming him down our throats. The voters will not accept him. There is an open rebellion at work in Democratic ranks.

Two-Cats
exactly no one can get the nomination till the convention… MI and FL will not be resolved by June so we will fight till the convention

Man, there is way too much hate toward Obama on all these posts. Don’t vote for him if you like McCains ideas better, but quit being so dramatic. He is not some crazy anti-american muslim out to get the US, just like McCain isn’t a senile old hate monger. Quit the drama.

stop the drama; vote obama.

stop the drama; vote obama.

Paul, The voters have not said that Obama is our nominee. You say it, some say it, Edwards may say it, but we say no he is not. First of all, he doesn’t have the necessary delegates…there are more primaries to be conducted, and there is the question of FL and Michigan. This thing is not decided. Get your facts straight!

No one can claim the “nomination” until the convention but to be the presumptive nominee one must be closing in on the delegate count – Obama will have them after OR if not before – he is only 126 short – he wil pick them up in the next 5 primaries plus the superdelegates are marching one-by-one into his camp – 5-6 announce every day.

This is really important information… before it’s too late…… information on Obama’s connections to Rezko, etc.
“Curtain Time for Obama – part II” (by Evelyn Pringle) – and her subsequent articles..detailed accounts and information from the Trial and more.

YOu know what the LATEST joke is??? Gore is going to endorse Barry the day after Hillary trounces him in Kentucky! HAHA.. Isn’t that funny! You see a pattern? Big loss = next day endorsement
Barry desperately needs all the endorsements he can get now! haha

To Hillary’s Sore Losers – GO GET THERAPY!!! It is OVER!! Move ON Already!!!
THERAPHY IS THE ANSWER

DMK: You live in a fantasy world if you believe Clinton will still win…..

Poor Pathetic Things, It ain’t over! Don’t count your chickens.

@democratforMcCain
Hard to get out of it when it’s all over the floor after being throw around.

At this point i care less what Edwards
did.He lost my respect.
There’s another party for me.
Republican party.
In november i will vote Republican
strait ticket to punish every democrat,including the congressman in my district.
I like to see democrats lose the house
and the senate in november.NO democrat
deserves my vote anymore.
I’m very serious about my decision.
I will work for republicans in november
for local,state and federal offices.
McCAIN ’08

Nicholas: Bye bye….don’t forget to shut the door behind you!

ohio pa and wva and california and rhonde island
by the way..rhode island has more delegates than many western states that obama won…by far
…and its so sad…
vermont was profiled higher than the win in rhode island and texas, almost
by many news agencies…
but…what is truly dumbfounding
is the affirmative action proportional delegate counting dem party rules
..and of course
if hillary is denied the 500,000 thousand votes she obtained against a month long national ad campaign by obaman fully fun in the state
then this is the biggest election fraud in U.S history…except for when the reconstruction era elected r b hayes over tilden…
….its simply stunning as hillary states often
that obama will even WANT to be a candidate nominee without having florida and michigan voters given a true chance to have one person one voter count
….would have known america’s howard dean, as short and shouty and intellectually curtailed as he is
was also a Napoleon in rags/waiting…for his “cest la e’state” moment…
go figure…

@ncdem
So now some Hillary supporters feel it is her right to have the VP ticket just because she lost? Sorry, things stopped happening like that a LONG time ago.

democrat(closet republican)forMcCain – dude – FL and MI should be counted and they will be. You don’t change the rule once the game has started and you don’t get to have an extra inning when you win it in the 9th.
I said it before and I’ll say it again you are a fool to let the rev wright thing distract you from the real issues: gas, food prices, healthcare, the economy and iraq.
- Peace

To all BO supporters,
Do you really think you can win if Hillary Democrats will go for McCain. Man, you must be dreaming in your own world. Here comes another Kerry!

Whether or not Obama wins the election in November we know one thing for sure…. HILLARY IS FINISHED POLITICALLY.
She cannot come back after the nasty campaign she has run. The party and the public will not want to be associated with her.
Washed up kaput done!
Not to mention deep in debt.
Send her money! please! She does not want to use any more of her millions on this failing campaign.

@Milton
Hillary running as an independant[sic] ensures Republicans a win in November. If you don’t believe so, then you have NO idea what you are talking about.

ncdem – and how do you figure that he will not get the delegates he needs to get the nomination? He will clinch the nomination by OR or before – OR may be his crowning moment – the place where he gives his victory speech and claims the nomination.

Evelyn Pringle’s articles are not old news….. read them for yourselves and make up your own minds.
“Curtain time for Obama – Part IV” should be published tomorrow. Before it’s too late!

Bobb
stuff a sock in it

COURAGE is doing the right thing when the right thing isn’t the easiest thing to do. I’d like to send my thanks to John Edwards for having the wit and courage to do the right thing even if all the angry racist biggots are gonna do what they do best and hate some more. You’re a true leader Mr. Edwards and you are supporting a great man that will help lead this country into a brighter future. My hats off to you Mr. Edwards!
OBAMA 08!!!

ncdem: Y-y-yes sir…I will do as you say…LOL!!!

Are you simple minded?

Charles in KY: Does the truth hurt?

Oh Wait, Maybe she can run for the Green Party. She can go accross there and give Nader some Hell.
Wow… so many options!

democratformccain: We are now in May 2008 not March…..

I am a democrat that supports Hillary Clinton and I will not vote for Obama in the general election, no matter who endorses him.

IT IS NO WONDER HE DIDN’T GET MANY VOTES, HE HAD SOMETHING ELSE UP HIS SHLEEVE. HE IS ONE STUPID IDIOT STRUTTING HIS 400 DOLLAR HAIRCUT.IT SHOWS HOW SMALL HIS INTELLECT REALLY IS. HE IS TRYING TO DESTROY AMERICA, AND MIGHT SUCEED, THESE 2 NEED TO BE STOPPED HE NEEDS TO BE HOME WITH HIS SICK WIFE AND KIDS AMEN

appalachianblue: How about Obama’s twelve victories in a row before that?
He has actually won four states (WY, VT, MS, and NC) since March 1…..what in the world do you mean by:is oregon truly swing democratic vital in the fall?…don’t understand what you are saying

He had to go for somebody-why not a winner? Who did his home state vote for? Give the guy a break. So he makes bad hair decisions,does that mean he’s no good? He came from the ground up & you gotta respect him for that. Its not his fault he’s too vanilla slick! Maybe his wife wants to accomplish as much as possible before her end. Who doesn’t? Maybe through him. Why not if its true to heart? You all judge way too harsh. Lighten up already! Relax. You can’t lose anything you don’t have.

Democratformccain
Obama is special in that regard he can contradict himself without fear apparently

ObamaGay: Is this what you dream about at night?….SICK!

Sluggish Drunk: Isn’t it time for mommy to read you a bed time story?

Let’s stick to reason:
Pollster.com state by state polls prove that Obama can win the Presidency without WV.
Obama is polling very competitively against McCain in every state that Hillary won, so clearly Democrats are uniting under him or the trend would be moving away from Obama toward McCain instead of toward Obama as it is now. (e.g. Ohio: http://www.pollster.com/08-OH-Pres-GE-MvO.php)
1.5 million Obama supporters are not naive cult followers who don’t realize that Obama is a product of an imperfect political system. His willingness to reject the influence of wealthy donors as compared to Hillary and McCain will make him the most independent person to ever step into the oval office. The Clinton (e.g. The Telecom Act) and the Bush (e.g. Haliburton) history shows how much influence the people who pay for a Presidential campaign have once they assume office. Because donations over $2300 do not make up the majority of Obama’s money, he will be better positioned to tell the Oil companies that we are moving toward renewable source, better able to tell the health insurance companies that a government run agency will bring needed competition and options for the uninsured; and so many other causes important to our future.
two-cats, I’m not sure where there is any historical evidence to support the idea that young voters come out for the primaries and stay behind in the general. I think you may have that mixed up with past youth registration that did not materialize into general election turnout. Republican worst fears are being realized: Generation Obama is not only registering, they are coming out to vote in Primaries; a time of low voter involvement. Worse than that, you should see how many of these young people are so pissed off at what a mess Republicans have made of things that they are now active engaged members of the movement that will move us away from the “let’s invade Iraq” rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh and the “if you don’t agree with me shut up” politic of Bill O’Reilly.
Fellow Obama supporters, let’s agree to give to our candidate every time we see others employ the kind of tactics that drove Bush to the White House and our country down. Every month when the quarterly reports come out we can rejoice in the fact that we are putting our money where our mouth is. We are coupling that with the work in the streets that have some many people here writing irrationally in their fear of what is coming. 129 delegates to go. It’s gonna be a great May 20th. If the superdelegates continue bringing the party together, we should begin to shift our focus more and more on McCain.

Fred
thats probably the way it happened but both Edwards and Obama are fake oportunists… Edwards didnt do any work in DC either he went there and bought a big house thats about it now he came back to NC and has a 15 million dollar one talking about poverty….HA!

Nowayin
um no Hillary just is dignified and letting Bush and Obama play their game and show how similar they are… ever notice how these Obama bots are just way too slow on the uptake?

Sandy
your little coordinated blog attack/campaign along with the media isnt working there will be no deal the race will not be over June 3rd…Obama knows the DNC screwed up you cant change it and you will accept it when Hillary the better candidate/person comes out on top in the end!

Edwards and Obama are a lot alike……Obama would not renounce Uncle Jeremiah, then, when he was hurting his campaign, he threw him under the tacks…flip-flop. Edwards said he wouldn’t endorse a candidate, let the voters decide (which they did in West Virginia), then, two days later, endorsed the loser, Obama…flip-flop. Richardson’s state was won by Hillary, then Richardson endorsed Obama…flip-flop. Obama caught in lie about NAFTA, then lied again to cover up…flip-flop. So now, the “presumptive” demoncratic nominee will be Obama….and, in November, we will see the GOP “flip” Obama and watch him “flop” as he loses the election for the Democrats. Without Hillary, vote McCain !

lets put it this way
….obama wins the nomination
and loses big…in ohio and pa
and in wva…
and in ky
and in tennessee
and in south carolina
and in georgia
and in alabama
and in utah
and in dakota’s
and in arkansas
and in texas
and in florida
and all because…
he wanted to be the first black dem presidential nominee in us history
and by doing this for himself and for those who support him in the major leagues
he can say..’we have done right by the black history and voters of american dem party pols…’
…but they take this approach
by affirmative action proportional delegate urban delegate higher than average weighted delegate methodology
…AND by doing the EXACT opposite of years of us supreme court precedent and
the voting rights act and the entire civil rights movement of the modern ear
stood for
by DIS ENFRANCHISING
the basic notion of the one person one vote ideal
…inohio…and in southern states
the white voters one person one vote
was diluted
and don’t even begin to ask the latino’s in texas as to what happened to their one person one vote
ideal in terms of how many delegates vs the urban houston and dallas and austin urban citizens cast…
its SO VERY UNAMERICAN that the recent new iranian elections had more representational merit than did those in this democracy primary
why not the problem in the rep party
becuase they are amazingly more democractic in their nominating process than the party that brought you the
voting rights act of 1964
ironically professors and observers and civil rights adovates
are going to be writing and discussing this dirty little secret for decades to come
how american obtained the first national party AA nominee w/u using
the basic principles of the Historical
principles enshrined in the very deaths of goodman, shwermer and chaney
and the birmingham children’s death
which led to the voting rights act
not too mention, even more ironicall
jfk’s death
…by disenfranching millions of voters
in mich and florida UNTIL AFTER A NOMINEE IS CHOSEN
no matter what reason
and then ….doing an about face to make it appear pc by adding them AFTER the fact
we have cheated..not only the hillary effort
but the very american notion and the very dignity of those who gave so much over hundreds of years to make
political equality matter in this nation
one person one vote
was not destroyed in our present
by the bush attack on civil liberties
…as much as it has been by howard dean and the obamaites
willingness to make an affirmative action presidency the first one in us history
so much for ‘working the system’ as obama likes to often say…
…its sad…but he used every close reading of teh national dem party rules to acheive
a very very split and controverted outcome which ended up not unifying this nation
but splitting the greatest progressive party this nation has known in recent decades….
way to go….my ‘new politics’ friends
winning the path to highest corridors of power by selling out the very landmark notion of every voter vote counts equally
…48 out of 50 states
does not equal a democracy…guys and girls
and its such a facade…every true genuine believer of american ideals
is and/or ought to be ashamed
or at least aware of what has happened
to this american experienment in democracy
not by bush and cheney
but by dean, kennedy
and the dailey machine from chicago
amazing stuff

Democratformccain
I think thats right… I think both John and barak have gone goofy Im not goign into the Puerto rico thing but Im just saying

Oh…. read the latest news… Osama’s message is coming.
I bet is message will be the same. “We will destroy America from within.”

Sluggish Drunk: Fat, “dunb” and stupid? I feel so hurt…LOL!

Edwin, I think you have me confused with another poster. I have not commented on the youth vote. However, on another subject, I do not want the Democratic Party to put forth a candidate who is not electable, that being Obama. Since 1916, no Democrat has taken the Oval Office without winning W. Virginia and Ohio, also. I think we have a better candidate than Obama to offer Americans…a candidate they know, who has tremendous experience, whose dedication to all people is not questioned, who has demonstrated she can win the swing states, and who has a spouse who has a reasonable opinion about America. Obama’s past associations leave too many questions unanswered for average Americans. They will not put him in office. I firmly believe this.

After reading some of these comments I now truely believe the media’s polls that state Clinton’s supporters are the least educated of the bunch.

JARON: Why not vote out of anger? Can’t be any worse than voting out of guilt, or voting out of gullibility, or voting out of naivete, or out of puerility, or out of asininity, or out of blind adoration for “the tingle maker”. Is there need to cite more “reasons” for voting for “His Inspirationness”, The Obama? None of these are as valid or smart as voting out of anger, especially when these very “reasons” are what fuels that anger.

I’m waiting to see what happens between Edwards and Richardson. Since both of them endorsed Obama, apparently, in hopes of securing a VP position…..One of them will lose out…wonder which one Obama will betray?

Just like John “opportunist” Edwards, Obama would appease Lucifer if he thought it would benefit him politically.
Whether or not the subtext of Bush’s remarks today were directed at Obama is irrelevant. Obama took the bait because he knows his stance to meet without preconditions with Mahmud Ahmadinejad, and the leaders of Syria, Cuba, and North Korea won’t appeal to the vast majority of the electorate. It’s keeping up appearances in Obamaland.
Everything Obama does is in defense of his own bad judgment. He’s sorry he called a reporter “sweetie.” He’s disappointed about his reprehensible and racist pastor Wright. He barely knows Weathermen terrorist Bill Ayers. He hardly knows the indicted Tony Rezko. He’s sorry the public somehow misinterpreted his closed-door elitist remarks about small town, blue-collar, gun-owners and church-goers. He didn’t mean this gaffe or that misstatement. He misspoke, he didn’t mean it, he didn’t hear it, he doesn’t know him, it wasn’t in context, he wasn’t there. The hope ‘n change man sure does a lot of changin’.
With all that Obama allegedly has not done, not seen, not heard, not said, didn’t mean, never felt, and doesn’t believe, what exactly has he done, seen, heard, meant, felt, and does believe? Whatever voters want, if it’ll get him elected. Where ever the winds of political fortune blow, so goes Obama, and Richardson, and Edwards…

yeayeayea
um I dont know of any clinton supporter that doesn have at least a college degree so thats a myth… the phony talking points dont work you ought to know that by now… we will take you down… Obama will not be president!

Rhys
average is good… if know you are a genius and rub everyones nose in it that is appalling-Obama If you are a genius and pretend you arent-CLinton you relate to regular people and people believe you more… I live around alot of PHDs and they cant stand BO

the national election does not
use “proportional delegate measurements”
to count the true winers
and in the fall
there will be no howard dean stating
florida and michigan do not count
as well
as…saying…to southern ohioan’s
and like so many latinos in south texas
“your vote has been diluted representationally as measured by 3/5 of a person to those AA who happen to live in columbus, cleveland or houston and/or dallas..”
so much for the voting rights act purposes and intent that every person’s vote counts equally…in the united states
and if we did enforce this notionl
oddly…an experience woman would trump a new comer on the scene from honululu’s fine prep school…
is it perhaps time to file suit no?
too late???
its too late for at least one thing
changing the rules of the national GE
to fit some bizarre insider trading scheme at the top of the dem party to make sure the second runner up…
gets the nod

democratforMcCain…..you’re right, I forgot about Uncle Teddy (a drunk) and his influence OVER Sodama…..man, the old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together”, really is true!

Democratformccain
that is absolutely true if you put it that way but they accuse us of being racist when you say that… and that congressional district that the dem won in Miss on tuesday Hillary carried by a wide margin so the Obamadingbats have seriously flawed logic

democratformccain, you should realize that the entire Democratic primary procedure has been run from the “Star Chamber” (the DNC headquarters). They have steered the nominating process from the get-go, and are about to take the entire party right down the tubes. The only thing which could save them is the fact that McCain is no prize, either. He doesn’t even have the support of all Republicans, and now Ron Paul and at least one Libertarian are thinking of running, to make SURE the Democrats win in November. This election is just one big mess!

Hmmmm. The ABC moderators must be sleeping tonight. I tried to post something semi-substantive earlier, but bobb (aka boob) and Sluggo seem to have the floor. I have no idea what they’re talking about, or even which candidate they’re supporting. Perhaps that part is moot. :-)

I bet a lot of people are digging into the Trinity Church tapes now looking for footage of Michelle Obama. The details of what the Republicans have supposedly found in the tapes are discussed on No Quarter and HillBuzz. Was this to be an October surprise from the Republicans and can the media or the Dems find it also in time to take appropriate action?

You know maybe if it wasn’t for all you hate filled Hillary supporters out their, I might have actually voted for her. Its to bad crazy people are making their candidates look bad. Grow up people. Only the democrats would whine themselves into a defeat after the worst president in modern history. Hillary supporters if you deep six Obama you are deep sixing Hillary. Now who are the Hillary backstabbers now?

Who would of known……at one time I thought Edwards was classy guy. A tear may have ran down his cheek when referencing his father tonight but he sure didn’t give a rats a__ for the voice of hard-working (avg. income $30.000) West Virginians. Talk a bout ANOTHER slap in the face by yet ANOTHER “new politics” kinda politician.
The ONLY candidate that represents a NEW KIND of politics is Hillary. The good’ ol boy network is just too darn threatened by her strength, her fearlessness, her experience, her fight for justice…..
NEVER!!!! WILL I VOTE FOR OBAMA. If he thinks Hillary’s supporters are going to line up like blind sheep and support his devisive, elitist a__.
WRONG !
There are millions of us out there that REALLY want the politician that will deliver a NEW KIND of politics. The fearless, fighter for the people….HILLARY!
HILLARY ’08

the offenses and poor judgment and hypocrisy displayed by obama and his supporters is irreversible now. Senator Clinton for November 4th Write-In.

Catherine
Good for you so what do you think about ol “Judas” now

Paul, Rant on but we won’t go away. We do not feel Obama can win, we do not think he shares our values, we don’t like his surly wife, and we won’t have him crammed down our throats by greedy superdelegates on the take for their reelection. I don’t think Democrats have very good sense about how to win an election. The American people will vote their opinions and the Democratic Party is making a mistake if they put up Obama.

Chris
Clinton will win one way or another its not just a Nobama talking point now… they subconciously made it happen!

hey paul
…i have worked on hillary’s campaign in five states and can say outright
you’re statement is simply grossly
UNTRUE that hillary’s supporters are racists…
that’s bullshit
i’m a civil rights lawyer..who worked in inner city neighborhoods for 14 yrs
and …i may add
…you must NOT have campaigned AT ALL
in this election…because the racial comments and actions were NOT LIMITED TO SOME OF THE BIGOTS FOR ONE CANDIDATE
do you understand??
i know because i have been to five states
and
no ONE IS HEARING ABOUT THE ABUSE HILLARY SUPPORTERS AND VOLS HAVE EXPERIENCED AT THE HANDS OF MANY BLACK CITIZENS
why?
we have too much dignity TO NOT MAKE IT KNOWN TO THE WORLD FOR THE CAUSE OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY
UNLIKE SOME OF THE OBAMITES WHO USE EVERY RACIST ACT OR COMMENT TO MAKE OUT THE HILLARY CMAPAIGN AS IF IT WERE NOTHING BUT RACISTS
you need to come out and play my friend
and get into the real world
and see what is truly happening on the ground
i can tell you literally hundreds of storieis
but i will leave you with this one
a young black 16 yr old AA youth
holding out high and proudly
a HILLARY SIGN right in the middle of a very poor and urban black section of a major southern city
i could have wept paul…when i saw this …because
for us hillary supporters
this young 16 yr black male
risking SO MUCH IN A STATE WHERE SHE WAS OUTGUNNED FOUR TO ONE IN FIANANCES AND OFFICES AND SUPPORTERS
WAS STANDING UP FOR A PRINCIPLE FREE OF HIS OWN SKIN COLOR
i have to wonder…my friend
if you have seen this kind of courage
and if so…i wonder why was he doing it??
did he know something that many like you latte liberals did not?
we who have been in the trenches…
are neither racists nor haters
but believes in the person with teh most experience adn the most fair policies and greatest appeal to the widest audience
will be the best for our nation and our party…
and that is hillary..the one who did NOT recieve the
proportional delegate favorities of the affirmative action program employed by howard dean
tell this to the southern ohio forty four county white folks
and then tell it to the latinos of south texas
if they enjoyed their vote being diluted by what the african american’s used to rightly and justly
head into the jails of america for in protest over
and some white and blacks persons of concience died for
…why then ought a white woman
be given less delegate measurements than that of a black male
is this equality?
is this racist to ask for just results?
…i’m afraid…if it is..
our cause as a free and open society today
is largely itself…
symbolic and lost upon a era of political correctness

Listen up, those frustrated with the DNC: DO NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN! WRITE-IN SENATOR CLINTON’S NAME ON NOVEMBER 4TH INSTEAD (if you truly support and believe in her). We all know she would be the best President that our children deserve and our troops and our Nation desperately need. “The pen is mightier than the sword”. Use your pen to write-in Senator Clinton’s name on November 4th.

One post made reference to how much damage Hillary has done to the Democratic Party. And what planet did THAT occur on? Oh wait, it was in an alternate universe.

Vote for the good of American people.
Choose Hillary.
If Hillary is not the nominee… then vote for McCain who at least loves America too.
But I would rather choose Hillary so that our tired troops will come home sooner than year 2012.My heart breaks everytime I hear the news saying that another soldier was killed.
I do not trust someone that says, “Change we can believe in” I bet we really can believe that change for sure.
A great example? Just look at what happened with our country for 8 years now. Yeah!!! that is really some change that we can believe in!!! We do not want a repetition of that.
We cannot and do not trust another un-experienced man leading the country again… our country has changed a lot.

Appalachian blue, I like your style!

Hey sluggo? Why do you hate the French? Didn’t you learn any history in school? France is the US oldest and strongest ally. In fact America wouldn’t be a free country with out the French’s help during the Revolution. By hating the French you are hating your own history.

Laura
they think the american public forgot 2000 and they are re running the Bush playboook after official election day and before Gore conceded… this time Hillary will not concede! because they count both pledged and superdelegates and neither candidate can get there before the convention… the rightful person who is Hillary will not be kept from a place where she is destined to be as President!

Go figure Hillary’s supporters are all “emotional”. You Hillary supporters freaking out need to watch out, because your gonna make it seem like woman are sore losers, and have bad sportsmanship.

one reason why I cannot support obama: obama unfairly and falsely accused Senator Clinton of disrespecting MLK; http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/01182008/profile4.html http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Top_News/2008/01/13/obama_criticizes_clinton_over_mlk_remarks/4073/

two cats
and ncdem
…thanks both….we have to keep it real and keep it on the low
we have the better candidate…we know by far
its not a hit or racist thing to say this
just ask Shirley Jackson Lee from Houston and/or the beautiful Erika Alexander right?
…right?
i mean why are so many young black voters involved on OUR SIDE?
are they racist?
are they not concerned about america?
are these powerful black women somehow being uncle toms for the cause?
its amazing…
but we do have to keep the focus not on race as much as facts
and if the delegate math thing is truly exposed
for what it is..hillary would be WAY AND AFAR the winner…that she is already
…not too say…howard dean and
[and of course, yes donna brazile…are way too over involved in making ‘fair’
the symbolic victory of “every voter”
but in reality…
they wish to trump the will of the people
and then in a very orewellian most UNdemocratic party fashion
lable it
“teh will of the people have spoken”
just like animal farm
2 plus 2 equals five
…especially if we in power say so…
its the ronald raygun motto
borrowed from hitler
“say teh big lie enoug times and if its bigger than the rest of them
it will eventually become accepted
as true…politically”
and with this…kind of “positive thinking” [it was truly called this by the propanda machine of hitler…’legal positivism”
&…with it…
came the rise of the Third Reich…
its always the first rule of ending democractic instincts
make the people believe they are making change occur
by telling what the change will be

ncdem, Fox is now going to push Obama. They know he’s the weakest candidate against McCain. Those Repugs know how to win elections and I think they’ve had their hands in this one through the media!

it is the only way…..
wow, i just read that one. wonder when those are going to air on tv? we all knew it all along….that obama and his wife are hate mongers and bigots.

independent voter,
The adults are talking…

If you write in Senator Clinton’s name on NOVEMBER 4TH, IT WILL COUNT FOR SENATOR CLINTON

chris, i agree with you…those are my plans as well. our voices will be heard.

two-cats
yea and the BO Obamabots talk about how Hillary will win at all costs… they telegraph what they are doing by accusing the other candidate of it … classic Karl Rove… can we guess who he might be advising?

chris:
As per the write-in’s, where did you find this information? I want to write Hillary’s name in, but I was a bit concerned that to do so could mean casting my vote for Obama.

the naivete of many obama supporters regarding political history, politics in general, and compromise is one reason why so many are turning against them……we believe Senator Clinton is the best candidate, but your attitude and the poor judgment and hypocrisy of your candidate make it near impossible for us to ever support his candidacy….

appalachia blue
yeah sheila Jackson lee and Stephanie tubbs jones have been pricessless for Hillary

Chris
absolutely, it is the Obama supporters not Clinton supporters that are destroying the Democratic party… let it split we will not let that ideoplogy pervade our party or the one we recognize!

Two-cats,
I can see that happening, and do not deny that it is. Like me, that is of your personal experience though.
The thing is, I thought the Democrats were supposed to be about racial unity? But it seems that we are more divided than we originally thought. I am a white male supporting Obama, and the reason why is because I don’t trust the Clintons on areas such as civil rights, supporting the military, et cetera, because during the 1990s they failed at doing so. Bill signed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 to get conservative votes in the election. That was a cheap move, to sell out 10% of our society simply so he could live in the White House for another 4 years. But that’s not even the worst.
My father was in the Navy, and he was earning less money as a First Class Petty Officer in 1995 than as a Second Class Petty Officer in 1992. Many servicemen and -women were forced out of the service at 19 and a half years, 6 months shy of retirement, simply so the government wouldn’t have to pay for their healthcare.
Bill signed an executive order in September, 1994, that ordered all dependents living in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to evacuate due to a water shortage made so by his incessant importation of Haitian refugees to the base. I was part of this group, at age 7. We left for the United States with a promise from Bill Clinton’s defense department that we would get money for rent, food, gasoline, a used car, and small purchases (clothing, shoes, etc.) But once we left, the money never came. My brother got sick, nearly dying twice, so whatever money we could tap out of our savings went to emergency room bills. By December of 1994 I had to help my mother steal a Christmas tree from the Salvation Army, a tree we had to lean on the wall in our apartment because we didn’t have a stand; a tree we decorated with yarn and construction paper, simply to have a good Christmas.
I’m sorry, but I cannot trust Hillary, and should Obama turn out to be a racist like Rev. Wright, I would rather deal with that then have to watch another mother crying herself to sleep in a hospital waiting room, after being told by a doctor that because she was so poor, the best they could do for her dying two-year-old son was to make him comfortable; she had been promised money by the Clintons, but it was just another broken promise. The Clintons have screwed my family before, why should I trust them again?

youthvote08
you sound like a repub for Obama that proves our point that Obama is another Bush..

James
thats right RCP still has the votes with MI,Fl left out and including them and Hillary will be ahead by the last primary if not before thats why they are trying to shut it down now…

as for obama’s sate senate record
we ALL by now know how he came by passing “280 bills” in his name
it wasn’t because he thought of these bills himself…
his mentor and close kingpin ‘merchant of legistlation”…and elder black state senate leader…
knew obama was ambitious and moved these bills ALL IN A YEAR…
…and if you think you can compare
even two terms in a state senate
to even one year in the us senate
then you must be …a neophyte…at politics
……finally
hillary wrote national legistlatiion and proposals twenty five years ago…
…and had a critical role in the making of various national legistlative initiatives
including the chips program, the head start programs [which largely helps inner city urban poor for the past two decades or more]
and has been in eighty separate countries
and is a full working member of the
european union…
which is basically a diplomatic status only inferred by merit upon those who are members
….
while obama was in diapers in other words
she was writing national policies
for the nation
so please…do not EVEN TRY TO COMPARE THEIR RECORDDS IN TERMS OF LEGISTLATIVE INiATIVES it is silly to do so…
…by the way…
i have more experience than obama in both civil rights and helping more poor people
get higher salaries in comparison
and i did it over 15 years ago myself
and i did it at a much younger age and
w/o as much compenstation
and i have risked my life for people of color for …many years
..and have helped the working poor myself thru high state legislative iniatives
in ohio…a major state just like his
and did it…without expecting a political career to made in the process
out of any of it…
..we did it gbecasue we truly believed in what such work stood for
…’
and i never became rich in and on my way to working on behalf of the poor and the downtrodden and especially
could not consider just because i have done more than he…loads more than he
at a n younger age
i would qualify as a president candidate
at any time…
its just a non sequiter
and its bizarre
ncdem
and two cats
i have to get some rest
i’m headed out for kentucky
to make sure the totals there equal
that of wva
and that all of us
“dumb under 50,000 and uneducated white folks”
can make our voices heard…yet one more time
in this amazing national debate and primary race
…are you headed there too?
come on down
and we’ll turn even more heads when the totals equal wva
ok?
good night

ncdem:
Well I am not a repub, not that it really even matters. People should make up their minds on the issues not the party. I do however have a good deal of republican friends that have become disenfranchised with the republican party lately. In our discussions of the history of politics with my friends we always try to look at and find what was good and bad during each administration regardless of party lines. I think it is kindda stupid to try to insult a person by calling them a republican or democrat.

paul….apologies for your situation and hope everyone is better…chances are, you are impossible to persuade to support Senator Clinton……but that does not change the fact that she is the best candidate out there for the great majority of people, children, troops and the world……she has the qualifications, the preparation, the resources, the intelligence, the foresight, the tenacity, the fortitude and the insight to see what’s coming and what needs to be done and she will fight with her friends and work with her enemies to make sure the most people get the most benefit, because you can’t make all the people happy all the time, but that won’t prevent the workaholic Junior Senator from New York from trying to do just that……you do what you have to for yourself and your family…..my duty to my son, my family and my own conscience dictates that I support the one candidate I know will be the best President for them: Senator Hillary Clinton

sluggo:
You want to be taken seriously on a post! lol!
YouthVote08-you are wearing out my patience.
Its ‘since’
‘actually’
‘allies’
‘their’ instead of ‘there’
If you want to make an intellectual argument, put some time in so that I may take you seriously.
Hmmmm telling me how to speak even. Your sounding a lot more like an elitist to me. Or did I not spell that right for ya. By the way I like how the person on here that is insulting people by calling them fat and stupid wants an intellectual argument spelled correctly.

Part 1
I’ve been a Republican for most of my life – I’m a Christian, with conservative values – both on social and fiscal issues. But in the past two years, I’ve said, “I’m a political agnostic – there are two parties, but I don’t believe in either of them.” And I’m also like most of Rush’s listeners – I’ve read enough books by people who’ve been close to the Clintons to know that they are dangerous. And so, when I heard that Hillary was beaten in Iowa by Barack Obama, I perked up. And then, I started watching the primaries on Tuesday just for the thrill of seeing her get her butt kicked.
But right now, Hillary’s ego and ambition have guaranteed that this will go to the election. She doesn’t need Rush for that. But you just have to look at the numbers from the primaries (you can see them in several places – Fox has them on their website state by state) and you can see that the number of voters in all of these states shows that the Republicans were outnumbered by 3 to 1 and sometimes more in most of the states with primaries. So, if you’re going to vote strategically – you need to be doing everything in your power to make sure Hillary is not standing on the steps in January with Chelsea and Bill at her side being sworn in as President. (And while Rush is looking over his invite to the Inaugural ball, all of his followers are going to be there saying, “I helped do THIS to our country!”) What strikes me as odd is that Rush is so quick to brush off the questions about “what if she wins?” I think he’s more motivated by his personal beef with McCain than anything.
What bothers me the most about what I’m seeing the re-emergence of the deflection of attention and the incredible spin machine that the Clintons have. I first noticed when after Super Tuesday, the top story was “Harold Ickes said”, or “Wolfson of the Clinton campaign said…” Sidney Blumenthal has been sending emails that are just outright lies about Obama to conservative magazine editors. The email that went viral with saying things like “the Muslim terrorists want to gain a foothold in our government…” came from the Clinton camp and was circulated to who knows how many millions (I’ve gotten it twice). It makes me wonder if that’s how they’re going to operate when she’s in office? It’s working pretty effectively for her so far.
Rush is very careful about telling his faithful listeners, “hey – this isn’t the general election, I’m just trying to create chaos…” But while Rush has no children in the armed services, while Rush is economically fairly well protected from the economic setbacks the rest of us are facing, and Rush will probably be able to make a lot of money with the Clinton saga – Part II (and may even get an invite to the Inaugural Ball), life is not going to be that easy for the rest of us if Bill and Hillary are back in the White House.
Despite Rush’s simplistic analysis, Hillary and Bill Clinton are not the same as Barack Obama. The difference that scares me is the first, the back-room deals and profit-motive of the Clintons and second their attitude towards the military and foreign relations. By sticking to the high road, Barack Obama has not brought up these glaring issues, but this is my perspective:
(Part 1 ends)

Paul
Hillary is not Bill you know it thats dumb to say

Thank you, Chris for your words.
And I agree with you: our duty is to pick who we feel is the best candidate for the job. As a Hillary supporter, you believe Ms. Clinton is the person for the job. As an Obama supporter, I believe Sen. Obama is the person for the job.
However, it is imperative that we as Democrats realize that we will destroy all chances of the party winning if we continue to bicker. This situation has become the GOP’s best friend: the same scenario destroyed the Democrats chances in 1980 just 6 years after Watergate (when Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter had a battle-royale to the convention). It is my plea that, should Obama win the nomination, Hillary supporters will turn to Obama just as I will turn to Hillary should she win. It is obvious the amount of emotional contempt I have for the Clintons, but it is for the good of our party and our country that a Democrat is elected in November.
That has been my point all along.

President Clinton also called for expanded benefits and pay for military personnel and Senator Clinton, as First Lady, was involved with investigating cases of Gulf War Syndrome from the military operations of the early ’90′s to oust saddam from Kuwait….

WOW!!! After reading most of of the comments expressing such hate. It’s no wonder America is in the shape it is in. How is it that we should expect to accomplish peace in the world when we state so much intolerance of each other here at home. One thing I’ve observed during this election it has certainly brought up a lot of underlying feelings of people’s intolerance seems like we’ve been in cold war with each other for a long time. Now we are verging on declaring all out war. Is this the America we want? It certainly seems like the America we have become. In the past we have always voted for who we wanted to or not at all this is our right, but America please let’s not air out our dirty laundry on the internet and give the world who is watching us the weapons to beat us with. This type of hostility and divisiveness is an invitation to terrorist to come in an further exploit or intolerance. Are we so bent on hating each other to the point we want to be like the countries we are trying to stop fighting each other U know the sunnis against the shihites etc.,etc. This is what it sounds like to me U want. I researched the canidates all of them listened to what their platform was and made my decision. I found one with a pending fraud case pending against them that may immediately put the US in turmoil at PeterFPaul.com I disqulified that person and I rest my case.

demformccain
they know the racist thing wont work they are just throwing everything up there hoping to demonize Hillary because they know they still have a fight for the nomination and cant beat mccain anyway!

ncdem,
wow, thank you so very much for correcting me, considering you have NEVER EVEN BEEN IN MY SHOES.
No, let me correct you on a few things:
1. I do remember that my parents were CLINTON SUPPORTING DEMOCRATS in August, 1994.
2. I do remember seeing the tent cities being established on the golf courses in Guantanamo.
3. I do remember my parents talking about the water crisis and the fact that some of the higher ups had been talking about evacuation.
4. I do remember sitting on that airplane with my mother as she clutched her purse with the last $20 to our name. The airplane was a DC-10.
5. I do remember when I woke up in the middle of the night and saw red lights flashing on my ceiling from the ambulance waiting outside.
6. I do remember my brother being carried out of our apartment on a stretcher with oxygen.
7. I do remember my aunt picking me up because my mother rode in the ambulance with my brother.
8. I do remember sitting with my mother in the hospital room as she cried knowing my brother would probably die.
9. I do remember my mother tossing a Christmas tree over the fence in back of the old Salvation Army on South Loudoun Street in Winchester, Virginia on December 4, 1994. I do remember shoving it into the back of our beat up old 1979 GMC Custom.
10. I do remember sitting on the floor with construction paper and yarn making ornaments for that tree.
11. I do remember that my parents voted REPUBLICAN in the 1994 midterms.
That is what I remember from 14 years ago. Do I need to go into my research of primary and secondary sources, or could you please allow me to have my own judgement of the events that have happened in my own lifetime?

No real democrat would vote for Obama or McCain. Write Hillary on the ballot. If the DNC wants to lose the White House nominating obama, Senator Clinton should run as independent.

Obama Helped Supporters Get Millions in Illinois State Business for personal gain. Obama the politician we can’t believe. Write Hillary on the ballot.

Davis…actually I messed up and wrote ncdem’s name in the Name: spot. It’s actually anti-Hillary though, :-)

Obama’s advantage in the primaries is because we did not know about his alliance and alliagance with Rev Wright and Black theology or his contacts with Hamas and how many “favors ” he did for millionaires in Illinois. Once we knew he has not win anything but NC. He is fake and deceivng and he is conning supporters about being a “different kind of politician”.

Many Democrats that voted for him before the revelation of Rev Wright, won’t vote for him in the GE. he disinfranchised the blue collar workers, the rural workers, the Hispanic vote, moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats. with thise votes Hillary can defeat MCCain. Obama does not have a chance.

The other networks were protecting Obama and pushing him as the dem nominee Wright is not only his pastor, is his spiritual advisor, personal friend and mentor. Ypu will see from now on how the media that pushed Obama agains Sen Clinton will begin to turn their backs on him.All was planned because the Republicans fear Sen Clinton. Today on ABCNews there is for the first time a note on the “political” corruption of Obama in Illinois, selling political favors for fundraisings.

libre: “He won NC and may win Oregon just for the racist vot of African Americans, that are voting for him based on race only”
Come on that’s like saying the only reason McCain got any votes is because he is an old vet. Or Hillary only wins anything because she is white and a woman.
Obama has won more of a cross section of the population then anybody other then him. So in that respect Obamas coliltion truley is the most mixed race at this moment. Hillary only reviced one in ten support from blacks. Granted her support is strong with woman, hispanics and the 65+ crowd. However, Obama has the most support among jewis votes, asian, blacks, and has a sizble amount of whites and youth vote not to mention the gaing support among hispanics.

oBAMA WON IN STATES THAT ARE GOING TO GO rEPUBLICAN ANY WAY. THE SWING STATES AND THE ONES WITH MORE ELECTORAL VOTES WERE WON BY HILLARY.

Davis if you follow my comments so close does not mean that you can copy them. That is what I always ask of Obama supporters and you are the ones that have nothing to say about Obama, except that he is going to “change things” empty words.

Once Obama, Edwards and Hillary are all out on the stump “wooing people” we are all going to be like “OMG I love the dems so much”. There powers of charisma will be to great. They are all just too smooth. The dems chances are really good this year. It makes me feel good knowing we got to pick from an all star draft this year before the GE. Thank goodness Edwards decided to give his delegates to Obama and put to rest any speculation that could keep this year and a half long primary going on any longer. Its time to bring it to McCain.

libre:
my point is how do you know nerds even support Obama?
FYI Colorado is a purple state. They have a very progressive past I should know I was born and raised there. If you think places like Colorado are safe this year for repubs then your sorely mistaken. Just look back at 04 Kerry almost won Colorado. He only lost by a couple percentage points. The dems have enough money now, its time to run everywhere.

Hillary will not support the Nominee unless she is VP thats it … and Obama cant win without her

I thionk is better for Hillary and the Country to wait to 2012. Even with her on the ticket, Obama does not have a chance to win the general Election.

Libre
dont say that we must stop Obama.. you just cant go there!

Quite frankly, I’m a bit discouraged by this whole thing! I can’t help but what wonder what’s coming next…I have a feeling that Mr. Obabma won’t turn out to be the “second-coming” that he’s allowing himself to be portrayed as, and unfortunately when that breaks it will be too late. The convention will have been held, the “king” will have been crowned and the nominees will be in full-throttle mode for the General Election…Unfortunately by the time the veil is lifted and the truths exposed, the crown will be left lying on the floor with no one who will want it…Sadly, though, for those of us who decided to sit this one out, we’ll be left to say those four well known words…”I told you so!” Fear not, though, at the end of the day, the RNC will have managed to pull the biggest coup of all time, bigger than Gore’s Florida debacle and bigger than Kerry’s unchallenged bid in Ohio…welcome to Jan 20th, 2009, the beginning of third term of the current administration! Oh well, this will be business-as-usual and this election season will go down in history as the biggest, most expensive, most contested and divided “much-to-do-about-nothing” ever!

I won’t vote for McCain, but I wouldn’t vote for Obama either. Mc Cain will win amd maybe between him and Obama, McCain is the lesser of two evils.

Davis The Obama Campaign has organized in all 50 States, that’s a fact.Thai is why he lost all important swing states and large in electoral votes states? he can not win. it does not matter how much you insult me.

I think that if the DNC wants to lose the WH nominating Obama the unelectable, Hillary should run as independent. She will get more votes than Obama and maybe she can win over some moderate Republican votes and defeat McCain..

Libre
I think thats right I I have talked to several people that say that Hillary should push for but not accept the VP then run as an independant and crush MR Obama with the so called invisible faults lol

With core Democrats, blue collar Democrats, rural vote, independents, Hispanics and moderate Republicans she can make it happen.

good night. Hillary 08 as Democrat nominee or as Independent.

He also said he would not make an endorsement and two days later he did. Two hours later many of us received emails from his campaign asking to support one of his programs. We had never signed up to his campiagn.

Can’t you Clinton supporters just accept that you lost. It’s supposed to be about us not them.
Speaking of who forgot what. Bill Clinton would not have been President if it had not been for the Black vote, yet when it became necessary to use race ( to no avail)he didn’t hesitate.
Quit bashing Edwards and Richardson because they can think for themselves. Are they not allowed to endorse who they wish ?
Maybe being on the inside of the Clinton White House showed them that they didn’t want to see us go back to thattype of crap. As much as I WAS a Clinton Supporter in the 90′s, I am also intelligent enough to realize that some of the divide between our nation politically rests squarely in their laps.

You know what the LATEST joke is??? Gore is going to endorse Barry the day after Hillary trounces him in Kentucky! HAHA.. Isn’t that funny! You see a pattern? Big loss = next day endorsement

You know after weeks of listening to this crap i find it very disappointing as an American and a patriot. If everyone would put their blinders on a minute and remove sex and race and Rev Wrong from the equation their messages are almost the same they almost repeat each others messages. Hillary is losing and will lose because she assumed she was owed the nomination by all those Democrats the Clinton’s screwed over and threw under the bus in their previous reign. She would have had a better chance if she ran with her maiden name. The thing she did not see coming is that Obama gave these senior democratic delegates a way out and they are taking it. And all of you thinking that she can run in 2012 if she doesn’t have the support now after all these years she will not have it 4 years from now. and for all of you that say Clinton wins or we vote Mccain ask yourself are you really ready for four more years of bush politics? Do you really hate your country that much.

BO is just a talker that has used bombastic high-flown language to fool millions of people by poetic promises of change. In reality, he has taken considerable money and support from all sorts of corporate and other special interests. Remember his Bittergate! Also, his fabricated credential is just hot air; FACTCHECK says don’t believe it. BO does not have what it takes, the stamina and tenacity to be a true, and solid reformer.
Todd Spivak of the Houston Press has documented how Obama accomplished next to nothing in his first six years in the Illinois legislature.
Then Emil Jones Jr. an African American with thirty years in the legislature made Obama a sponsor of 26 bills that became law. This is how BO portrays himself as a highly successful legislator. This is just like giving him the ball at 1 yard line. Has Obama repaid Jones? Yes. He has provided tens of millions in earmarks for Jones’ district. As to such actions, Jones famously said: “Some call it pork; I call it steak.”
Michelle Obama’s salary at University of Chicago Hospitals when her husband won the US Senate seat was $121,000. Within weeks of his swearing in, her salary went to over $320,000. The following year Obama did an earmark request for $1 million for her employer.
How great is this candidate and his spouse! smelly, isn’t it? From the evidences, do you see any greatness?

Operation Chaos is in full force. Dems please beware of the Republican operatives who are stirring up trouble between Dem bloggers. At the point, true Dems should not engage in hateful talk with other Dems. When you read racist views towards Obama from supposedly Hillary supporters who are switching party to vote Mc Shame, please don’t attack or feel resentment towards other Dems. That is a trick to divide the Democratic Party.

Every time I hear Edwards refer to Obama as the best “man” for the job I am furious with myself for ever being an Edwards supporter. I am also furious with myself for wasting 25 years as a Democrat….
NO MORE.

Melissa…I hope that won’t happen, but you are presuming that Obaama will get the nomination. It isn’t over yet! I don’t see it being decided until the convention. But realize, you cannot blame Obama for the mess Hillary got in. Her campaign was badly run and financed.

AG!? An opportunistic loser.

Melissa that’s not going to happen. They are dems first. They want the party to win the white house.

Paul,
CAUCUS states.

mr lai…also adding
as part of the 100,000 cops
the clintons ALSO IN THIS SAME LEGISLATION
created an enforcement scheme for the FIRST TIME IN US HISTORY THAT ALLOWED THE US JUSTICE DEPT TO BRING AN END TO SERIOUS PATTERN AND PRACTICE POLICE BRUTALITY…
so the clintons clearly balanced their efforts to end crime while truly giving john conyers and the black caucus
substantive change in the area of police- citizen and particularly urban america want was perceived and necessary
i know..because i was among the first lawyers in the nation to utilized this new federal law
signed into law by Bill Clinton
and NEVER IT IS ANYWHERE MENTIONED IN ANY AA BLOG OR ANY LIBERAL AND or major media
but this is why even the bush administration has continued the same program in name…even under gonzales
because while the doj fights crime
it is now by law mandated by the clinton presidential policy
to also address the very serious and disturbing and historical reality of
major pattern of police brutality in this nation
Amnesty International and every major human rights group in the world
heralded clinton’s administration and this new DOJ special litigation unit approach to a very urban and major city and even rural american problem dealing with protracted and entrenched union entrenched policing problems in every city in this nation…
what did bill clinton do?
check out…
midwest center blogspot.com
and read all about this civil rights initiative coupled with the 100,000 new cops effort
both of which used creatively the major underlying political ‘rails’ of this nation
effortlessly and brilliantly joining both the center and the left
in one amazing and working piece of serious federal legisltation
solutions for change
is what hillary calls it and they know how to do is BETTER THAN ANY DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT SINCE KENNEDY and ROOSEVELT

You are absolutely right Anne K. I keep asking this question and it seems like never have a straight answer. Talk about being racist??? So Whites can cross over the line to vote for BO but 90% of Blacks will not. Who is a real racist here???
By the way, they give us a label of “uneducated people who vote for Hillary” is silly. Tell me, 90% of Blacks voting for Obama, how much income they make and what kind of degree they have in average????? Do a real survey to see a real picture; don’t just listen to those stupid pundits in the news!

I was very disappointed in the way John Edwards and Barack Obama chose to announce Edwards support for Obama; what hype,sensationalism, and hogwash; also, to say he tried to reach Hillary but couldn’t and also they’re somewhat good old boys condescending references to Hillary totally turned me off to each of them in a way I haven’t been before.

I love it!!! They way people make it seem that he just disowned the white race. You here phrases such as: I’m so dissappointed, I can’t believe I supported him, He’ll never get my vote ever again, LOL…LOL…LOL idiots. Then you here phrases such as; He’s a disgrace, he’s a traitor, he’s a Judas…wah wah wah wah wah. Vote for McCain if you want, and I honestly believe you will vote for him, just to say, “I’ll show that Democratic Party” like a bunch of school children. When McCain wins, I’m going to laugh, right in your stupid faces. Why? because my family will be fine, We have money, and we have health care, we live like the Dems want you to live. Why? because I’m going to vote for a Dem, no matter who it is Hillary or Obama. At least I’m going to do my part. You on the other hand want to sabotage the elections and subsequently this country. You’ll get your satisfaction fulfilled until fuel is $5.50 a gallon, then 6.00, and it won’t stop there. Since 2004 Gas prices have risen nearly 200%. Democrats are usually better than republicans when it comes to economy. The only exeption to that was the great Ronald Reagan. And I’m not sure that wasn’t due to the Carter administration. But I won’t open that can of worms.

There is more to voting than being loyal to one party, especially if you are an independent or even affiliated with a party.
I for one, am disgusted by this whole thing has played out. How the DNC has sat back and let it all happen. By Dean saying that the delegates would be seated, he caused this to continue. What makes them come to a different decision now rather than if they would have decided a month ago?
Let me not forget the media. Whomever you support, the media has been more biased than I have ever seen. With so many people getting their news from specific networks, they need to be more careful. They have abused their power.
I cannot help to be disappointed in Edwards for endorsing when he did…they say timing is everything. It is not about his choice, that is his personal decision, it is all about the politics of his choice.

Obama and the democrats have lots to worry about. Half the democrats did not vote for Obama. The white middle class is not going to follow him. I think many will not vote at all and this is really going to hurt in the swing states. The Obama followers need to recognize he is no misiah. Most of the blue collar middle class are not falling for the retorhic he spews out on stage. Hillary wasn’t hard on a fellow democrat. Wait til the republican machine goes after him. Wait til Rezko starts spilling the beans after he is convicted and starts making deals with the prosecution.
Wouldn’t that put Dean and Pelosi in a pinch. Denying FL, MI, so there boy could win. Then only to have him debunked after the nomination by Rezko.
Do the math as Obama supporters are saying now.
Little to none of the republicans go for Obama and just over half of the dems does not equal the presidency.

It’s a good thing that Edwards doesn’t want to be VP (apparently his only interest is that he just doesn’t want Hillary to win). As Obama doesn’t think Edwards would be a good president (VP next in line) anyway because Edwards voted for the Iraq resolution along with Hillary and Obama said Hillary didn’t have the judgment to be president because of the vote.

“The OBAMA fanatics gives us nothing but hot air, hate mails, slandering, name calling, hair pulling, blasphemy, and mockery to American traditional lifestyles.”
John Lai,
You’re a hypocrite. Don’t think for a moment that Hillary and her supporters haven’t done the SAME things.
You Hillary supporters who would vote McCain over Obama are all idiots. You’re a bunch of morons. I’m not name calling, I am stating a fact, that you are cognitively deranged to vote for a Republican if you truly want change from the status quo of Bush. If you don’t want a change from Bush, then you’re fine to vote for McCain.
Hillary supporters are wrapped up in the negative campaign that SHE started in January (she did, Obama reacted after a few weeks). They are now shrouded in the smoke of battle and they are so fired up about the whole deal that they will do something stupid, like voting to extend the Republican menace for another 4 years…and once the dust has settled you’ll realize what a stupid mistake you’ve made.
Here’s how simple it is:
48% of America is Republican
48% of America is Democratic
4% of America is Independent, Leaning either way.
The Democrats have the chance to win 52%-48%, perhaps higher, this election. However, this is what happens when half of the Hillary supporters write in Sen. Clinton instead of voting for Barack Obama:
48% – John S. McCain
26.5% – Hillary R. Clinton
26.5% – Barack H. Obama
HILLARY STILL LOSES!!! The Democrats LOSE. McCain does a Slick Willy by winning by less than half of the vote. And that’s not to mention the Independent candidates.
So there you have it: write in Hillary’s name, she still loses. SHE WILL LOSE IF SHE LOSES THE PRIMARY!
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON WILL LOSE THE GENERAL ELECTION IF SHE LOSES THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON WILL LOSE THE GENERAL ELECTION IF SHE LOSES THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON WILL NOT WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION BY WRITE-INS, AND WRITING-IN HER NAME WILL DESTROY ALL CHANCES OF THE DEMOCRATS WINNING IN NOVEMBER.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON WILL NOT WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION BY WRITE-INS, AND WRITING-IN HER NAME WILL DESTROY ALL CHANCES OF THE DEMOCRATS WINNING IN NOVEMBER.
Hillary’s biggest mistake was going negative so soon. She could have won if only she didn’t start with the negative ads, the picture leaks, the Republican tactics of name calling, etc.
“Barack HUSSEIN Obama” – In the eyes of the generally uneducated Clintonian public, that is a bad thing. If you have more than 4 brain cells, it wouldn’t be such a problem.
“Rev. Wright is such a divisive figure” – And those same people are the ones who give money to Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell’s church. Jesus, those men said 9/11 was the fault of feminists, gays, the ACLU, People for the American way, and every American child who didn’t pray in school. Fantastic.
“Ms. Obama is smelly” – I don’t know how people would know that, and if they did get close enough to her to sniff her armpits, then I would probably have to say that is pretty creepy to sniff other people’s armpits.
See how childish it is? Uneducated Hillary freaks.

Hillary supporters–face it! She gave her best shot
and lost ! Bubba should have stayed home. Edwards endorsement timing was perfect. Drowned out all the phony hoorahs about a few paltry delegates from WV.
Edwards would make a great AG. He was a one heck of a trial lawyer unlike the Bush doofi!

I too am very disappointed in John Edwards endorsement of Obama. I supported his efforts as the Vice Presidential candidate in 2004 and I actually favored him early on when he was still a candidate in the 2008 election. But I became very disillusioned with him as time went by. He did come from humble roots and he continues to talk as if he is a common man. He is the Director of the Center on Poverty at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He implies, by his work and his speeches that he understands the plight of the poor, so he pays $400 for his hair cuts, I have to cut my own. He professes to fight to help eradicate hunger, and he speaks of understanding the hardships that the working middle class and those at the poverty level are experiencing, but he builds his 28,000 sq. ft. 6 million dollar house on a 100 acre estate. I live not 20 miles from him, and I can tell you that there are not many of those type dwellings between his estate and my 1200 sq. ft. home sitting ¾ ‘s of an acre. Do you really expect that his endorsement of Obama will gain him the working middle class votes, or even North Carolina??? No!, he no longer speaks for us. Obama/Edwards, politics as usual.

Obamalltheway said: Hillary lied her way right out of the nomination. All she had to do was play fair, stick to the rules, and have a plan and a theme. She did neither.
KEEP ON ATTACKING HER AND HER SUPPORTERS. IT ONLY HARDENS OUR RESOLVE TO DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO DEFEAT OBAMA. SO KEEP ON ATTACKING; WE LIKE IT!!!

Not to break the spirit of the tirade going on here but I just want to offer a thought: I believe John Edwards was THE Democrat candidate for this election and would be the front runner now except that any parent in that voting booth had to wonder about what he was going to be facing with his wife and kids in the coming 4 years. He’d be a GREAT VP candidate with Obama if he wanted it, but who can blame him. He knows he’s going to be put through the emotional ringer in the next 4 years, too.

I think all of us who support Hillary and oppose Obama should leave the democratic party and reregister the day after they force Hillary out. We can still write her in if we so choose, but it will be a strong signal to the democratic party.
Krol – look up the word. Elitism is a state of mind. You show your bias and lack of knowledge when you say that just because someone has money they are elitists.

Even if Hillary had a clear majority of the popular vote, I think it is too late. If Obama had been vetted before the Feb primaries, this would be a totally different race.
Maybe the democrats will learn when they lose another election that they’ve got to change if they ever hope to have another democratic president. However, I have come to the conclusion that democrats as a whole are not very smart. Perhaps there is a need for another strong, middle of the road party.

You know after weeks of listening to this crap i find it very disappointing as an American and a patriot. If everyone would put their blinders on a minute and remove sex and race and Rev Wrong from the equation their messages are almost the same they almost repeat each others messages. Hillary is losing and will lose because she assumed she was owed the nomination by all those Democrats the Clinton’s screwed over and threw under the bus in their previous reign.

Elite (also spelled Élite) is taken originally from the Latin, eligere, “to elect”. In sociology as in general usage, the élite is a relatively small dominant group within a large society, which enjoys a privileged status envied by individuals of lower social status.
The position of an elite at the top of the social strata almost invariably puts it in a position of leadership and often subjects the holders of elite status to pressure to maintain their position as part of the elite. However, in spite of the pressures, the existence of the elite social stratum is usually unchanged.

How rude and divisive for John Edwards to endorse Sen. Obama on the day after Sen. Clinton’s West Virginia primary? What was the rush? Where’s your good manners John Edwards and Barack Obama? Is this a way to treat an American lady? Then in the same breath talk about “party unity?” This is very typical of Obama campaign. Talk endlessly about high ideals for America and then take a real aggressive and abusive “low road!” Is this the “new politics” that Sen. Obama is promising us? Oh, give me a break! But I have to tell you, if our now “presumptive nominee” Sen. Barack Obama is going to be the “real” Democratic nominee, sadly, another “George McGovern” fate tragically awaits the Democratic Party. It’s heartbreaking to watch the DNC self-destruct and its super-delegates squandering the distinct advantage they have to re-gain the White House in 08. But don’t be surprised; knowing the fact that DNC houses the longest list of losers of any American organization! The impending Democratic presidential loss to John McCain has to be blame on the same old politicians who have never won presidential elections, calling the shots for DNC, and fumbling the chances: Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Tom Daschle, Bill Bradley, John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and as you know many of them ran for president and lost, including old George McGovern. Now they are all endorsing and supporting Sen. Obama. They are playing the same old loser’s game. That game is called the “idealism” game. These democrats have a penchant for being indulged in idealism, just like Barack Obama. But he’s trying to sell it to Americans as “new.” That was done before too. As you know idealists like George McGovern never made it Washington. And many of them are examples of such idealist losers. All this has happened before. They all said they are going throw the bums out and clean up Washington. But they all lost to the Republicans. And when you at things in the light of what happened at the Democratic primaries in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and in many other states, and especially when you look at the astonishing 41 point victory of Sen. Hillary Clinton over the “presumptive nominee” in West Virginia, isn’t it obvious Sen. Obama can’t win; he isn’t strong enough, his base isn’t wide enough; he has a very narrow but deep base, but not good enough to win a presidential election. There’s lots of importance to West Virginia than meets the eye. The media is not telling you any of this, as usual. Even Jimmy Carter won it. Even Mike Dukakis won it. Sen. Obama has failed to get the support of women, so called “Reagan Democrats” or working class white voters, rural voters, labor union households, Latinos, older Americans and so on; you know in spite of the media spin and promotion Sen. Obama is no more better than another George McGovern or Mike Dukakis! We all know that Black American and city liberals never won presidential elections for democrats. Sen. Obama had successfully maneuvered himself to be the front runner, with a help of zealots in caucuses states to get most of his delegate numbers. No matter how many congressional seats Democrats win in the fall 2008 election if they fail to win the White House, what the use? The situation that we have right now─ with President Bush vetoing everything ─isn’t going to change. The unfortunate thing for the Democratic Party in this election cycle is that they have a presidential candidate who really can’t win. Besides there’s even more bad news. Remember, just before the general election in 2004, Massachusetts judge sanctified gay-marriage, which galvanized the conservative vote resulting in John Kerry’s defeat and George Bush narrow win? That is happening again. The gays and lesbians are determined to give the Republican another presidential victory. Now that California Supreme Court decision allow gay-marriage would surly result in lots of social-conservatives going to 2008 polls and ensure the defeat of Barack Obama, and victory for Republican John McCain, just as it happened before in 2004. The Democratic party it known for its capacity for “Snatching the defeat out of the jaws of victory.” Sen. Obama can’t even change the defeatist dynamic of his own party and how can he propose to save America from its continuing decline?

To: John Edwards
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.

Not interested in VP slot? Funny, that what the American people told you in 04. Then they told you abain in 08. AG, no chance in hell. That would take a brain, not a suit and a hair cut.

I’m from NC, voted for Edwards for Senate, voted for Kerry in part because Edwards was running for veep, but no more. In the time that has passed since 2004, Edwards hasn’t done anything to help anyone. He was head of the Poverty Studies Center at the college, but what did he actually do? Study poor people? We have loads of impoverished people here in NC. He has never done anything to help any opf them. And on top of that, about an hour after his endorsement of Obama the other night, I got an email from the “John Edwards for President” campaign begging for donations. He’s not worried about vp. He did say he’d like to be attorney general, but I think the main reason he came out for Obama was to resurface so he could solicit donations to pay off campaign debts. No thanks.

John Edwards must love his hair. He has the very best cut. Question is would he except vice president if offered? I would guess he would lick his lips if offered the position.
