House Majority Whip: ‘I Don’t Believe That There Is Any Way That She Can Win the Nomination’

ALL ABOARD
Quick Clinton supporters — hop off your train and board the Obama Express. You will, you know. Resistance is futile!
Be a good little democrat and forget you’re abandoning your moderate principles and are joining the ultra-left.

Jack you vote for Mc Caim and when 1500 more men and women are killed or mamed in this crappy war you take the blame.When you have to walk to work or can’t warm your house or even put food on the table you go look in the mirror and remember who you voted for.For God sakes lets get this country back on the right trackso we the poor and middle class can at least hold out own again.These people getting the tax breaks can not even spend the interest they are making on their money.

I’ve had it with the Democratic party, they are a little too far left even for me and I’ve been a Democrat all my life. I’m switching parties and voting for McCain. Democrats for McCain.

How someone in his or her right mind can vote for McCain and continue the failed policies of the Republican party is beyond me..How is the economy? Bad! Many have lost jobs..and homes to foreclosures…we are not winning the war that should not have been..Our young and impressionable young men and women are dying in Iraq( I support our troops..they were sent there so they have to follow orders but I do not support the war)and it baffles me how John McCain and the Republican party can even be an option for this coming election.Somebody’s serving some spiked Koolaid out there that confounding the minds of heretofore rationale thinking people

Jim Clyburn! Oh, please! The man has been in the tank for Obama all along. That was clear when he appeared on Joe Scarborough to help spread the lie that Bill Clinton was speaking in “code” when he said Jesse Jackson won South Carolina. Take it to the convention, Hillary!

Obama cuts off with his Pastor of 20 years, who helped him find God,
who Helped shape his life by:
Bringing him into the Strong Black Community of Chicago
Marrying Him
Baptising his kids
Blessing his House
Praying for his run to Presidency….
Now Obama claims he wasn’t at the Pew when Wright spoke.
Tha he didn’t think his church was controversial ( Black Libertation theology claims White People are the Enemy —-> really explains Michelle Obama’s Hate/Anger )
Then when Rev Wright reveals that Obama is just a Politician—-> THIS IS THE STATEMENT THAT GOT OBAMA MAD ENOUGHT TO DENOUCE/REJECT WRIGHT…..
oh yeah….the Republicans are ready for Obama….
Thank you to all the OBAMABOTS for making sure the White House stays Republican.

CLINTON HAS LOST THE NOMINATION. WHY?
Because Pelosi, Kennedy, Soros and a whole cast of characters has hijacked the moderate principles of the Democratic party. The nominating has been fixed and the results have been decided for months. Forget FL and MI — they won’t matter.
Moderate Democrats need to find a new home or mount a write-in campaign! At least their principles won’t be compromised.

Geevil
I agree totally. Democracy is about everyone having a say. If I lived in the remaining states I would be really annoyed if she quit now as there would be only one name on the ballot.
FL and Mich votes should be counted – not Hills fault Obama took his name off the paper on one and didn;t enter in the other. Whys should those voters views not count as big swing states.
I don;t trust Obama and don;t think he’s got what it takes to lead US ( mind you our PM is hopeless as well!. He has no experience, stuttuers and struggles when asked a difficult question and just doesn;t look the part – maybe in a few years but not this time. I have never seen Clinton struggle when interviewed and her breadth of knowledge on all matters is wide. She has devoted 30 years to public service and has all the experience that goes with.
Think some in the US are carried away with this ideal of change Obama offering. Talk is cheap though – question is can he deliver – I think NOT.
Think Hillary is the one to take on McCain – now media and party are telling her not to criticise Obama during the rest of the campaign as it is destructive. Talk about a fight with your hands tied behind your back!

Carpenter – Because he’s a phony who will do what it takes to get what he wants.
I have always thought he had more faces than Big Ben in London!
I can’t understand why the media has not made more out of the Rev Wright/Rezko thing and if you check his record of voting he’s changed his tune somewhat in this campaign.
Really don;t think he can be trusted with economy / Iraq / Iran / Afghanistan/ Hamas – the list is long!

The superdelegate movement toward Obama – giving him a net gain of seven on Friday alone, with more expected – increased the pressure on Clinton to at least refrain from divisive remarks, particularly in the wake of her comments on Wednesday that lower-income white voters will not support Obama if he becomes the Democratic nominee. Aides now say she regrets the comments.
Clinton advisers say that attacks on Obama are no longer enough to change the momentum or outcome of the nomination race. Continued attacks on him, at this point, would probably inflict more long-term harm on Clinton than on Obama, her advisers said.
San Jose Mercury News

What is a moderate Democrat? You only want a small war with Iran? You only want to stay in Iraq 50 more years? You’re only willing to sacrifice 150,000 American jobs for a gas tax holiday? You only think companies should be allowed to send some of their jobs overseas while reaping the tax and other benefits of being an American enterprise? What are you talking about? Do you even know?
McCain is moderate? John McCain? Well McCain has a pastor too. But I have a feeling your reaction to McCain’s evil pastor will be the same as your reaction to the fact it was Clinton who was back-channeling other countries about lousy trade deals and Bill Clinton pardoned Weathermen. None of those things was ever your problem with Mr. Obama.
You will have to start your own party though. There is no Republican politician who would ever say he should be elected because she could get the white vote. Ever. And if they did the Republicans would very quickly remove the nasty little person from any position of power or authority so the stink of blatant racism didn’t get on them and their careers. No you need something a little more…basic. Like out in the woods with some sheets and some horses. But you’ll also need one more thing: a time machine.

There really to many Republicans passing themselves off as Hillarynor Barack supporters. This only to get the dems fighting among themselves so as to forget the real important issues. I guess this is the continuation of operation chaos, this is pitiful that a great party such as the Republicans must resort to trickery, lies, distortion to salvage a party devoid of ideas that are needed by America.
Don’t believe the hype!!
Dems o8

THERE ARE TWO DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S
(1) Ultra-left radicals
(2) Traditional moderates
Clearly, one of the two is winning. That means Obama (aka Soetoro) will join the likes of Pelosi, Soros and the rest of the socialists.
Choose wisely!

There’s no doubt many Clinton supporters will switch their so-called allegiance to BHO, but my wife and I (and several others we know) will switch to McCain. No, I DON’T like McCain, but at least he likes America! Even though I disagree with McCain’s Iraq policy (the same as Bush’s), I have never questioned his patriotism, nor have I questioned the patriotism of Hillary Clinton. Obamaniacs sound like this will be a one-candidate election, but we DO have a choice, even if it’s only the lesser of evils. I’ve been a contributor to Hillary’s campaign, but I my next contribution will probably go to McCain.

Why are we voting for a man who’s Wife hates our Country so much (except when her husband is making money or winning)
OBAMA AND HIS WIFE both went to a Black Liberation Church for 20 years.
Are you telling me Obama only went ther to get Political Clout ?….. then He’s worse than I thought!
Thank You OBAMABOTS for making sure we will never have a Democrat in the White House.
Note that most “college Kids” who support Obama has parents who support Hillary. Ironic thing is the Parents are supporting/sending money to their kids inturn the kids donate time/money to Obama— how messed up is this?

carpenter, please remember that our schools have been teaching how BAD America is for years. Everything that goes wrong on our planet is the fault of America, and we need to be punished. Obama is giving those “students” an opportunity to “punish” the establishment. Spending their parents’ money to elect Obama is just another way to “get even” with us dinosaurs. We also have to put some of the blame on Bush, whose theocratic right-wing agenda has caused a backlash. Too many people think the only way to “fight back” against the extreme right is to take America so far to the left that it will never return to center.

Obama workers are calling people in WV and KY and telling them that the race is already over and they do not need to go and vote for Hillary or Obama in the primaries. What Clyburn and Obama are doing is called VOTER SUPPRESSION! Clyburn and all the other obnoxious, arrogant Obama supporters should shut their mouths about the race being over. Obama has not reached 2025 pledged delegates, so Obama does not have the nomination “wrapped up”. Obama still has a problem with many groups of voters, the groups that Donna Brazile kicked out of the party last Tuesday night, and now they want them to come back and vote for a LOSER candidate! Sorry, we won’t vote for Obama – ever!

Hillary will remain in the race untill the end and then we should talk about who is the nominee there milliomns and millions of us the media acts like we are not here the party acts like we are not here but guess what we are here and getting madder by the minute,

Obama has insulted small town Americans,
made sexist remarks about Hillary and now older people.
Let him keep his young clueless voters, and AA voters…
they will turn a blind eye to anything Obama does.
If most of the baby boomers and over 65 crowd voted for McCain it is bye bye Obama.
Hillary or McCain or no one

Looks like the uneducated Hillary supporters are bitter. Thank GOD that the majority of people in this country are educated enough to finally see through the Clinton lies. I hear that WV is supporting Hillary by a forty point margin over Obama. They obviously are by a forty point margin less educated as well. I’d rather have the votes of educated prople and not the Clinton riff-raff of WV deciding the next president of this country.

McCain is a moderate and Hillary supporters will go with him.
McCain, ’08!

Why is a civil rights leader like Clyburn trying to suppress votes? Now it is okay for black people to keep all 50 states from participating so their guy can win the nomination? Talk about the Politics of Hypocrisy. The Obama campaign takes the cake for dirty tricks, old politics, and just plain old meanness. Are they trying to drive away every last Hillary supporter because they are doing an excellent job? That would be about 50% of the democratic party right now that supports Hillary – doesn’t Obama need their votes in the fall? Guess Obama is going to win with AA’s, rich people and Chicago “fixers”.

“made sexist remarks about Hillary and now older people.” I am an older person and I would not be offended if someone made a sexist remark about me. In fact, I’d be quite flattered by it.

Sorry Mike, I’m educated and make more than 50K and I supported Hillary and still do. Your comments are rude to the good citizens of our country. The working class is smarter than you are because they know a good candidate when they see one. Since the party has decided, I won’t follow them. Go McCain in 2008

Good luck on that “vote for change” registration drive Obamanations, Obama is going to need it. I’m changing my lifelong democratic registration to independent this week, and I bet millions of other democrats will be doing the same if Obama is the nominee. Donna Brazile and her new democratic party are in for a rude awakening in the fall.

Some of us don’t care if Hillary wants to stay in this race. I don’t care how badly she wants to disgrace and demoralize herself but she is dragging her supporters down with her. If she cannot and will not accept her loss, her supporters won’t either and we will have a divided party.
Hillary has to stop negative attacks with class/racial comments. She is using Clinton triangulation along those lines and a presidential candidate in the UNITED States should NEVER do that.
There is no place in this country to foster those feelings and certainly not now with the hard times our nation is faced with. Her actions validate a plan that she isn’t “in it to win it” but in it now to make sure Obama “will not win it”.
With Hillary’s feeling of entitlement to be President and her growing campaign debt, she really is a desperate person not to be trusted. I am starting to see the real reason for her meeting with Richard Mellon Scaife…delivering a divided party to them.

You better read that page before you turn it.

Clinton her fanatics remind me of the movie “Dead Man Walking” Like the guy in the movie, she’s still walking but not for long. The door ahead in NOT the entrance to the White House. Hillary’s presidential asperation is a “Dead Man Walking”. And, she won’t be back in 2012, ask Kerry, Algore, Mcgovern, Humphreys,etc………

LeeLee07,
I just emailed the DNC about the Obama calls in WV and KY. I suppose the DNC does not care since they did not care about the votes in MI or FL.
Note, how Obama wants to end the race at the first moment his SD count reaches HRC. She should have declared herself the winner months ago, based on that!! LOL

rco,
The only thing I can say to you:
You wish!!!
Admit or not: Obama won’t go anywhere without Clinton’s help!!!! That is the Ace in Clintons.

WHY CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL CAVE …
The liberal wing of the democratic party has a campaign in mind that will paint McCain as Satan himself. Moderates will give it all up and move to the left in fear of Armageddon. Be prepared for Obama (aka Soetoro) surrogates to wage vile attacks while Obama keeps his nose above it all and occasionally denounces his spokespeople.
The scheme will work.

All I can say is that if anyone was stupid enough to vote for George Bush twice, their opinion of Obama is worthless. Your insults of Obama should be taken as praise….

Lou,
I respect your position but have to state what is this “new dynamic?”
I have never seen the Democratic Party so polarized in my life! I have never experienced such racist comments in my lifetime and all for not supporting the “black” candidate. I have never heard such sexist remarks lodged against a female candidate. I have never heard such overtly age discrimatory positions in my life.
That is the “new dynamic.” I lay this at the feet of Obama and his supporters.

The only “Change We Can Believe In” is that Obama will continue to affect race relations in a totally negative way. He has already set it back by about 40 years and he has not been even elected yet! ROFLMAO!!!
A Proud, Black, Hillary Supporter
Rise, Hillary, Rise!’08

The Clintons don’t do graceful.

Dear countallthevotes, I really have been a democratic voter for many elections and I have never seen a woman or black man create so much excitment.
I beleive that the Obama appeal is his background and his platform to work with ordinary Americans. He understands what prejudice is and he didn’t grow up to have everything, but his single mother gave him the tools and support to work. I believe he wants to “Unite” people and energize them as equals and that is truly a new dynamic. I believe he will work for all the people and that is a very important part of being Cammander and chief of the greatest nation on earth. I am proud to say I went into the california primary booth to actually vote for Senator Clinton because I knew who she was and out of nowhere I voted for Obama, a light went on in my head in the voters booth and I couldn’t forget his theme “CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN”. I thought for a few more seconds about some of his campaign slogans and things he brings to the table, so I voted for Obama. I think all Americans need something to believe in and someone who understands the human condition beofre political fallout.

Hillary can still win by the rules Obama has not won at the end of the primary’s the super del which is the worst thing I have ever heard of will vote and pick the nominee so King Obama should wait or go beat her in ky.

The choices on the November ballot will be Obama and McCain. If the Hillary supporters won”t vote for Obama and they vote for McCain out of spite or abstain from voting , then they will be responsible for at least four more years of Bush policies, maybe eight. But in all fairness, if by some miracle Hillary is on the ticket and the Obama supporters do the same thing then they will be just as guilty of causing the same catastrophe. The world can not afford another Republican president at this time.

Thinking
Yeah — a convention manager’s past is certainly worth jettisoning one’s intelligence. You should change your name!

Folks are still up in arms about Michigan? Few if any of you live here. Our state leaders made a gamble and a huge mistake, yet you blame Senator Obama only. And Senator Clinton who cares so deeply for us, only after she started losing, rejects the recent compromise plan from our state leaders to seat Michigan’s delegates.
So stop with the phony-baloney nonsense. You are not fooling anyone but yourselves. And don’t worry, the delegates will get seated in some form or another.

Hooray for Sandy!!! You hit the nail on the head!! I feel bad about the in fighting between democrats. I also think it not healthy for Senator Clinton and former President Clinton to keep selling wolf tickets to their supporters.
I voted for Bill Clinton both times and I was going to vote for her until I started to listen to what Obama was saying. I know he will at least try to CHANGE some of the old politics with new and creative ideas. I now say “YES WE CAN” Vote Obama 2008.
Senator Obama is trying to be so gracious and delicate with Senator Clinton and she pushes forward without a chance to succeed?? Why??

In the new today- can you guys believe that both McCain and Bush are publicly against Virginian Democrat Webb’s legislation to reinstate the ‘GI Bill’- the college assistance benefits for our returning veterans, similar to what we had after WW II? How disgraceful is this? HIlary and Barrack wholeheartedly support it the legislation. How damaging will tis be in the national election unless the so-called ‘war hero’ candidate, Sen McCain, flip flops again and claims he was always for it, and since he is a ‘war hero’, no one should question his judgement. McCain wants us to continue the fruitless Bush war in Iraq that continues to cost us in lost US lives and lost billions of $$ that could be used to help America at home during a recession brought on by the never-ending war. I ask you this- who on earth in the Democratic party could in good conscience vote for MCCain in November, because they are mad at Obama and his supporters? Only adolescents think this way. That’s why our mother’s always told us, “don’t bite off your nose to spite your face”. Time to grow up people. According to McCain’s mom and Rush Limbaugh, even the Waskily Wepublicans plan to hold their noses to vote for McCain. You Hilary democrats want to do the same?? Why??

CICI you are determined to ruin this country with distructive thinking. Are you an American? What do you think this kind of destructive suggestion will accomplish. Senator Clinton or Mc Cain, this tells me you are trying to overthrow the will of the American people with alternative destructive choices.
I surely hope that no one takes your suggestion. WOW!

Lou – ‘gracious and delicate’ are not words that Hillary’s supporters seem to comprehend. I believe’slash and burn’ would be more appropriate.
It always amazes me about how Hillary’s supporters say they will vote for Senator ‘Senior Moments’ or write in Hillary’s name. I am a strong Obama supporter, but if I had to vote for Hillary, I would in order to prevent another Republican from taking the White House. I would have to hold my nose and turn blue in order to check Hillary’s name on the ballot, but I would do it just the same. From reading the posts here, it appears that Hillary’s supporters are not as gracious.

countallthevotes no disrespect but it seems you are all over the place. One thing is clear you are on on baord with Obama for president. I can totally respect that. :)
Fatigue has set in on all of the candidates for sure. I am talking real talk. Ronald Reagan did not make very many public appearances during his second term
I have grand children and I want things to get better for them during their lifetimes and I take this campaign very seriously. I am a democrat but if I thought for one minute a Republican was best suited for the job I would vote for that individual.
I really hope the American people stop being swayed into fighting a fight that they can not win.
The war in Iraq was just that kind of fight and a Republican tried to finish what his Republican father started. The true losers hera are the American people and the American economy. The election stuff is very serious to me. senator Mc Cain is not my personal choice, have at it that is what you believe.

Charleychaplin – Senator Obam blew a line – better a line then threatening to bomb Iran. Both Senator Obama and Hillary are exhausted and it is beginning to show on both of them. However, I do not jump on every gaff that Hillary makes.

Bishop,
If you check further you will find that many of the uncommitted in MI belonged to Edwards. He had enormous support there from labor!! He also lobbied there for his supporters to vote uncommitted. In all, Obama is estimated to have gotten far less than half of the uncommitted votes. That was estimated based on exit polling.
Further, the explicit lobbying by Edwards and Obama for the uncommitted votes was a direct violation of the 4-state pledge. The remedy for the violation is supposed to be forfeiting of your delegates.

Barack Obama has planned a party to claim the nomination in Portland, based on his own campaigns measurement. He can say whatever he wants, but it’s an insult to intelligence to believe it until it happens by the rules. As Howard Dean has said many times, MI and FL are going to be resolved and seated. Obama has now agreed with that position. Like it or not, the working number of delegates is 2209. There’s not a rule that says if you get a plurality of the pledged delegates, you win.
The Obama campaign will declare that there’s never been a candidate denied the election who had the most pledged delegates. True. But has there been a candidate denied the nomination whose had the most votes? I don’t think so. But neither of those metrics matters. 2209, or whatever the number is after the resolution of MI and FL happens to be, is all that matters. Until then, we don’t have a nominee.

When Hillary wins WV and KY does well in OR and wins PR gets a flood of super’s like Obama has been doing guess what never say never

KY and WV will help Clinton and they also make it clear Obama can’t close so going around trying to force Hillary out acting like you are already the winner like Bush did in 2000 makes most Democrats see RED get it!!!!!

Bishop – it would be nice if your dream for Hillary became true, but it is not reality. With her loss in NC and less than a 1% ‘victory’ in IN, she would need to win 70-30 in KY and WV to gain any delegates on Senator Obama’s advantage. if she does not win by those margins, Hillary would need to win the rest of the primary states by 90% of the vote. That is not going to happen.

@ Bishop
most Democrats?
How do you figure this?

ok the other half that have voted for Hillary

Going back into retirement is starting to look better and better to Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton hiatus from retirement and hitting the campaign trail is wearing thin.

I supported Hillary from day one and will continue to support her all the way to the White House. Go Hillary! Yes, you will!

I think that there has been a change in this race since last Tuesday.
Obama not making a run in WV and KY, the sudden change in tone from the Clinton Campaign, is telling us something.
Both Campaigns are saying this thing is over.

Who cares what Jim Clyburn thinks? LOL

Mary – LINKS to your assertions, please. Rev. Wright, Ayers, and Rezko will not sink Obama’s nomination. If they could, they would have already. But a look at Hillary’s unsavory backround, the Paul vs. Clinton connection, Obama’s unsurmountable lead in pledged delegates and his pull-ahead in superdelegates, does not bode well for Hillary. It is great that you support your candidate so strongly, but reality must be faced sooner or later.

There are really to many Republicans passing themselves off as Hillary or Barack supporters. This only to get the dems fighting among themselves so as to forget the real important issues. I guess this is the continuation of operation chaos, this is pitiful that a great party such as the Republicans must resort to trickery, lies, distortion to salvage a party devoid of ideas that are needed by America.
Such as abortion rights, an end to the Iraq war, Healthcare reform, economic and energy plan,Education, honest governance and a plan for the future
Don’t believe the hype!!
Dems o8

sandy,
Of course Obama fit his suit mighty fine: it is empty suit – it would fit for any size of Obama!!!

Bobbi,
Yes, you may remember all those controversies. But as an American, you should not forget we had achieved no debts for our country with billions of plus by 2000…..
You may not agree with all those controversies but you can’t deny America was better off by 2000 compared to 1992…
That is the fact and you can’t deny the history!!

Then… as a superdelegate make your endorsement…. as a strong leader let everyone know that the ‘white special kind of voters’ that Clinton now says Obama can’t win that she can has calculated its importance on old school… we have new voter demographics-unprecedented-thus nothing she says about the past ways to win this thing in November is even relevant anymore. Why she lost.

I think folks trying to force Clinton out of the race is hurting the party.
It angers the 15 million Clinton supporters even more, not to mention the last states who want to vote.

I have never seen a candidate get such BRUTAL treatment in the media than I am seeing Senator Clinton and President Clinton are getting.
There are 6 contests left. These states have not voted in an undecided primary in over 40 years.
I take it the media could care LESS about that. All they care about is making headlines and harassing Hillary Clinton?
How about you pieces of garbage in the media have some class and just let the woman finish the contests ?
Its 3 stupid weeks. Its not the end of the world. The media is becoming petty and is hurting the democratic party.
Forcing Clinton out with snide articles aint going to bring the party together. I can tell you that.

Thomas,
Admit or not, Obama won’t go anywhere without Clintons’ help…
He will be in a death valley in GE just like Al Gore and John Kerry…

Bobbi:
The truth is President Clinton was a successful Govenor for 12 years before he became, undoubtedly, the best President in modern day history.
He was also the first President to reach across party lines to get many effective legislation passed with the cooperation of the Republicans.
Obama is not only inexperienced in his views and thinking, but he crumbles under even the slightest pressure. He is hiding behind the support of many misogynysts who can’t stand the thought of a woman taking the highest office in the land. Similar men are also responsible for Obama’s early victory in caucus states that helped him amass pledged delegates. These men were relentless in their pursuit of anyone they can find to get to the polling booth. Unfortunately, many of these voters weren’t the working class (all working class, not excluding African-Americans) that make up the majority of the population of America. They were often the well-to-do, non-hourly paid workers who could get off work any time of day, did not have to worry about childcare, were not the elderly who simply could not show up at a certain place and a certain time to caste their vote.
In view of the above, not only is Hillary Clinton hands down the legitimate nominee but also the victim of a seriously flawed Democratic nominating process which you will see change as the years go by.
And let’s not forget that the same amount of people voted for them so far — less than 2% of the total separates them.

I tried reading all of the comments…lol…
simply put, history tells us that a nomination process that has not been decided before the convention = a loss in the GE for dems.
this is why she should leave. nothing personal hillary, but at this point if w are to win in november then this phase of the nomination process needs to end now.

Charlie Chaplin, I’m concerned myself that the media will turn around and attack Obama with the same ferocity that Clinton was attacked, if he is the nominee. I think the splintering between the two groups of supporters has been supported by media to a certain extent.

The dirty little secret that the Democratic Party doesn’t want anyone to know about the Democratically controlled (Do Nothing) Congress:
George W. Bush has an abysmally low favorability rating – the lowest it’s ever been. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. We all know that. So???????
Guess who’s favorability is lower?????
That Democratically controlled CONGRESS!
(Theirs comes in at 22% even lower than Bush who’s at least in the 30′s).
