Kennedy on Obama-Clinton Ticket: Dream On

HAHAHAHAHA!!! OMG, Kennedy used the words “real leadership” and “Obama” in the same sentence!!! Goodness, he must have gotten payment from Obama to say that. Mark my words, DNC: If Obama gets your nomination, I will not only vote Repub for the first time in my life, I will also campaign for McCain. It is no longer an issue of Dem vs Repub, but a matter of saving our country. Obama the dangerous liar can not be put in the white house. THERE ARE MANY WHO FEEL THIS WAY, DO YOU WANT TO RISK OUR VOTE?

geevill get a job.
How is it possible to troll all day on every single
thread?
Some people have no life.

Kennedy wants to be perceived as a king maker. Maybe he is. He managed to get John McCain a real chance at the White House in an election where the Republicans had a 1 in 5 chance of winning and now it is better than 3 in 5.
Way to go, Teddy. Following in Ol’ Joe’s footsteps. He went hard left too as Ambassador when he endorsed the Third Reich.
No, Godwin’s Law does not apply, Kids.

and Len
the only three people that got McCain closer to being President
was Bill Hill and Jeremiah.
(and the former two…are still at it)

There can be only one perfect choice. The VP needs to be a strong Democrat. Compassionate, driven, and willing to walk this new path. This candidate also needs to be able to deal with women who will only vote for a woman.
As soon as Obama announces Nancy Pelosi as his running mate, Hillary will be an asterisk in History!

Sen. Hillary Clinton should consider running independently! The polls indicate that she can win–she can beat both Obama and McCain in a three way match-up!

charleschaplin excellent thought provoking post. thank you

Let’s review the Dems’ battle again:
Obama won 10 “black” states and 6 “white” states from primaries and 13 states from caucuses
Hillary won 17 states (most of blue states) from primaries and 1 state from caucus….
The pattern is very clear to either candidate: Hillary won most states from primaries and Obama dominated caucuses..

We all may be over – reacting. There are very few people who will consent to be VP – to McCain.
I think the short list is down to Limbaugh. In other words, there’s always hope that McCain will do himself in for us.
I can see it now, a prime time debate. Obama, in his customary Obama suit and McCain, resting with his chin on his chest, snoring peacefully.

Doesn’t matter who he chooses, because neither one of them will ever step foot in the White House, unless they are invited by President McCain.

Hillary should run as an independent .Democratic party in it’s well known tendency to pick leftist liberals will jump off the cliff with Obama again.They just don’t know how to pick a candidate who has a broader appeal than uppity liberals and certain ethnic groups.Shame on you Democrats.I am a Hillary supporter and would NEVER EVER support an Obama nomination .

Kennedy is as arrogant as Obama. Why he thinks we would care what he thinks of HIllary is beyond me. His whole family is rather limited in their ability to tell the truth and lead upstanding lives. His brothers were very less than perfect, he definitely ahas done some very questionable acts in his life; John Jr. was nothing but a womanizer and used his name to justify his self-serving life and we could go on about the rest of the Kennedy clan, but why. Talk about old politics and cover-ups. Yeh, I will follow whatever Ed Kennedy has to say as much as I will Obama’s.

absolutely not richardson on obamas ticket that would solidify the pro clinton hispanic vote against obama. the man is a traitor. we elected him twice and felt betrayed by his obama endorsement, after NM supported hillary in the primary. likewise hispanics nationwide have largely supported hillary as well. i could have been ok with the endorsement however after his vile hateful attacks on hillary (on larry king) that was the final straw for richardson and or anybody he endorses on the state level.

In 2012 she’ll be to frail and feeble to run for the presidency.
Unless you mean a Senate run.

I don’t understand how people who support Hillary and her positions can vote for McCain if Obama is the Democratic nominee. Hillary’s — and most Democrats’ — positions on so many issues are very different from McCain’s and most Republicans’. The same goes for Obama supporters who threaten to vote for McCain if Hillary is the nominee. I suppose some people are so swept up by the personalities and nastiness of the campaign that they forget the real issues.

What would he do in the White House without the excuse or ability to vote Present? He’ll be too busy slacking and eating waffles to make any important decisions anyway I guess.

frisco girl, you sound like a bitter old woman. It’s time for the future not the Clintons of the past.

Nat , I got one for you. He exposed his children to the words of the most hateful racist I have ever heard speak and I have always lived in the south with no shortage of racists. The cult that is Wright’s “church” and the videos to come are something Hillary could not present in her ads but you are going to see so much more and I honestly believe that after the convention Obama will not be the nominee and that he will lose in his Senate re-election.

THE DREAM TICKET WOULD BE McCAIN HILLARY TICKET.
THEY BOTH ARE WAR MONGERS ONE WANTS TO KEEP THE WAR -THE OTHER WANTS TO OBLIVERAY COUNTRYS
NOW THAT’S A REPUBLICAN DREAM.
HILLARY IS NOW SAYING SHE IS GOING TO TAKE ON OPEC – AN OTHER WAR!!!
WOW I AM IMPRESSED

Hillary fans take heart. The Democratic Party can do whatever it want at the convention. If more bad stuff about Mr. Obama pops up the delegates are free to switch their votes.

I used to actually respect Kennedy, then last summer started thinking twice about him during the whole amnesty/open the borders fiasco. After his behavior this election cycle, any positive thoughts I had for him are gone…..same goes for many of the old time dem “leaders.” The party is now a bunch of liberal pansies. Either it’s the growing older and wiser phase of my life that is setting in, or the light bulb has finally turned on for me that there is something to being a bit more conservative and holding people responsible for their own actions or lack thereof. Either way, the dem party does not represent this average American any longer.

I said we need Hillary Supporters. But we don’t need ALL. It would be nice to have all but we don’t NEED all.
Independents and Obamaicans will make up for the deficit

Since white are losers and racist I tell you what let all the whites vote for McCain and Obama can have all the AA, then lets count the votes and see who wins

I encourage all you supporters of fairness in America, and a meaningful end to the war in Iraq to support senator Obama. I realize you are passionate about Clinton, but the majority of folks in America want senator Obama to be president. Please allow yourselves to heal and let us forget about race (skin color….so superficial) and let us focus on what is right…..Obama for 2008

Obama-Clinton is the only viable ticket – as of this minute. no other Dem names are really a good fit for Obama. He’s dead on both accounts if he goes with someone with his own inexperienced background (call it for what it is, good or bad) or a pol with years of D.C. history. Hillary’s a good mix and might appease the vengeful whites.
http://www.political-buzz.com/

I agree with the Nantucket Drunk – Hillary should not even consider running with Obama…
Let Obama sink or swim on his own…If he wins fine, if he loses fine – But let Pelosi, Teddy, Kerry, Dukakis see how difficult it is to Win a General Election against the GOP.
Over the last 3 decades, only one Democrat has won the Presidency. Over half a century – since the last Democrat has Won 2 terms in office – This is the same person and his name is
CLINTON!
Best of Luck, Obama supporters – Believe me – you’ll need it!

Nice try d: Typical Obama tactic. Call the other side names and then ask “why are you angry”? Sounds like an abusive husband come to think of it. Obama did call us (now purged from the party blue collar voters) bitter, and now you are too. It’s okay. I will be happily pushing the button for anyone but Obama in the fall. Obama and his cretin supporters have bid Hillary and her 50% voting block bye bye!

NO JOKE, this would be the crapiest ticket out there. One honest guy, one liar. Not exactly a dream ticket to me. It would RUIN his chances and he would need to hire a full time food taster.

2 more superdelegates for Obama

President McCain – the moderate democrats’ choice.

Tell it the way ti is Sen. Kennedy !
The Clinton has shown their true color!
As a 60 year old Native American I have never seen blatant racism by senior Political Leaders in the USA, like Sen. Hillary Clinton & Pres. Bill Clinton! I know that most American will not give a damn about what I am about to say, but I will say it: “THE WORLD IS WATCHING,” “YOU ARE ARMING OUR ENEMIES,”
America needs to be strong and to lead the world – Do not air our “DIRTY LAUNDRY TO THE WORLD”. Sen Obama has the widest support of Americans – from Julie Nixon, Rev. Sharpton, Sen Kennedy all the way to a Social Democrat- Michael More! Come on over all the Clinton supporters, do it for the Democrats, and for the USA. Sincerely, Lake Hart, a Native American Writer.

frisco girl, once again read your post to me. Sorry, but you do sound bitter. You can vote for who you want I really don’t care. But don’t take your anger out on Obama supporters. And talk about calling people names. And not all Hillary supporters will leave the party like you think, nice try.

The country doesn’t need another Jimmy Carter in the White House. Far left policies didn’t work then and they won’t work now.

So why are the Obama supporters not happy with another AA being Obama’s running mate is there a problem with that ?

I agree with Kennedy- and I dislike Kennedy tremendously. But there’s one teeny weeny aspect of this idea that will lose Senator Obama numerous votes- including mine: HOW CAN YOU RUN A PLATFORM ABOUT CHANGE AND INVITE THE CLINTONS BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE? I’m not buying it. (But then as she’s said, I’m dillusional…)
Secondly, on a different tact, the Clintons, for many of us symbolize greed and corruption, certainly the opposite of Obama’s message of bring integrity back to the White House.
And last, WITH OVER 50 SUICIDES AND DEATHS HAPPENING TO PEOPLE WHOM THE CLINTONS JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE KINDA NEEDED GONE, I AND NUMEROUS OBAMA SUPPORTERS FEAR, WHETHER SOUR GRAPES OR THE V.P. SPOT, OBAMA WILL BE KILLED.
THAT’S A FACT. THAT WE FEAR THIS.

I find the idea that Ted Kennedy has clout as ludicrous as the idea that Obama will be President.
But what do I know? I am a Clinton supporter who believes that a nominee must be elected with all 50 states. I think if Obama is given the nominee without counting all the votes, then not only is he not a legitimate candidate, the Democratic party will have sold their souls to the same god that run the republican party.
Remember 2000?
I will personally be a democrat who will go to San Francisco and help defeat Pelosi in the mid-terms.
Afterall, I would rather my party survive than the power hungry individuals who want to control it.
Obama will not have my vote if he is given the nomination.
I am a Democrat and this is not how we do things. This is not Hope. This is not Change. This is not what the party is all about.

WOW! Obama has no chance of winning the White House without Clinton. Besides, she deserves better than the #2 slot especially to a rookie. What leadership exactly is Kennedy talking about?? Obama has done nothing, proven nothing in his short political life…as well as being the most liberal voter in the Senate and should I list the number of issues he has flip-flopped on?? It’s a long list.
People are so enthralled by his speeches like he’s the Messiah but I would rather take my chances with Hillary. Experience counts when our nation is in such dire straits. Obama is a train wreck waiting to happen and I sure hope people wake up to it before it’s too late.
BTW, what will Obama and the DNC say when Clinton literally blows him away in West Virginia and Kentucky?

Since 1976, the Clintons record in seeking office is as follows:
1976- Bill elected Ark. Attorney Gen.
1978- Bill elected Ark Gov.
1980- Bill loses Ark Gov.
1982-1992- Bill re-elected Ark Gov.
1992-2000- Bill elected Pres.
2000-present- Hillary elected to the U.S. Senate
The Clintons stand on a record of incredible electoral success. That is the fact.

Obama should pick someone who’s experienced in government but not from DC. A governor or mayor of a major city. Ideally, someone more moderate and female.

hopesprings: Over all of those years of experience, Hillary is only mentioned once?

All Hillary Supporters – its time to board the McCain ’08 bus -
McCain – has the best record on the environment, has a record of working with both sides of the aisle, will cut spending, will cut taxes, promote free trade, improve the value of the dollar and will be beneficial to Women, Hispanics, Blacks White Blue-Collars .
McCain will not be divisive on race or gender…Not to mention the elderly…
We’re gonna WIN: TX OH FL IN WV KY PA MA NM AZ NH -
Wait lets stop here -
McCain is in the White House if he wins: FL OH WV and NH…
Straight Talk Express – All Aboard – Welcome Camp Hillary!!!

United we stand for the United States of America. I’ve lost respect for the Democratic party and their leadership(?), with their backbones of jello, for the way they’ve handled this joke of a nomination process.

Kennedy trashes Clinton by saying
that she will not be on the ticket because “I think if we had real leadership –- as we do with Barack Obama –- in the number-two spot as well, it’d be enormously helpful.” Clinton supporters are listening closely to these outrageous insults and will remember them at general election time.

USA ! USA!
Come on Archie Bunkers & George Jeffersons were fictatious characters showing how “STUPID” Americans of the 1960s were – this is the 21 st Century – get with the program. THE WORLD IS WATCHING ! OUR ENEMIES ARE WATCHING ! WE DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW BILL &HILLARY IN THE GUTTER. UNITED WE STAND ! DIVIDED WE FALL! Do it for the DEMOCRATS and do it for the U.S.A. Sincerely, Lake Hart, a Native American Writer.

MR
look at the numbers of people switching to democrat…look at the numbers of the primaries alone…
if either candidate lost just 20% of the others voters…they would still win.
so maybe you should check your numbers…
considering the polls showing McCain vs. obama and Clinton vs. Obama that have now been taken at the height of Obama’s worst weeks show either a tie or Obama winning…
the dirty little secret that no one acknowledges in all of the polls…is that those polls obviously would include all those angry people who would vote for McCain rather than the other candidate…
so before you go preaching to “D” to check numbers…check your own… because they are wrong…McCain will lose by a landslide even if those people in the polls who said, out of anger they would not vote for the other candidate voted that way, McCain would still lose.
and when it’s the general and people are faced with the economy, the war, overturning roe vs. wade, healthcare, the housing market, our standing in the world and it’s increasing influence on our lack of safety and security…as well as economy…
Not may are going to be that angry … to vote just out of spite. people for the most part aren’t that dumb.

I don’t get it. If Hillary doesn’t win you’ll vote for McCain. That’s your personal choice but why post it here, just do it. It’s not like anyone cares.

Obama supporters realy need to start bracing themselves for a defeat this November. Your overconfident, overly stated “Yes We Can” chant has really made you lose your bearings. You Can’t.

Well, obviously both Hillary and Obama supporters are just trying to get a rise out of each other.

Michelle Obama – Now is the first time in her adult life that she is ‘Proud to be an American!’
99% of the U.S. population don’t get a chance to go to Princeton – Michelle did…
99% of the population don’t get a chance to attend Harvard..Michelle did..
99.99% dont get a chance to attend Both Princeton and Harvard – Michelle did…
Michelle wasn’t Proud or wasn’t she an adult when the Soviet Union cam tumbling down?
Michelle wasn’t Proud or wasn’t she an adult when Americans from all around the country helped those in NY DC and PA affected by 9/11?
Michelle wasn’t proud or wasn’t she an adult when Bill Gates/Warren Buffett organized a charity with billions of dollars to provide care for 3′rd World Countries facing: Hunger, AIDS, Malaria and dengue fever?
Michelle wasn’t proud or wasn’t she an adult when our troops protect our freedom everyday by sacrificing themselves for everyone in this Great Country ?
There is not much of a difference between Wright and Michelle Obama’s outlook on America -
Now, how much of a difference is there between Michelle and Barack? Thats WRIGHT – None!

Obama’s culted fans continuously trashed and disgraced Hillary’s supporters, it only proved again and again Obama is a divider NOT a uniter, it deems Obama will loose G.E…
Americans will put their country first and will vote for the one who is the best to lead United States of America..
Obama has no way to unite Dems…Simply his path to W.H. is a death valley….
BTW, W.H. is called White House Not “Black” House…

Either Bloomberg or Pelosi for VP and Hillary for Secretary of State, a much more powerful position then VP. I can’t see someone with Hillary’s drive and Bill’s experience being locked up in the VP slot.

‘COME TOGETHER NOW ! FOR THE DEMOCRATS!”
“FOR THE USA” FOR THE FREE WORLD! FOR HUMANITY ! PEACE, LOVE AND THE FELLOSHIP OF ALL!
Please remember to send Archie Bunker & George Jefferson to get Hillary Clinton’s “BAGGAGES” -This is not the 1970s, this is the 21 st Century and the world is CHANGING – try it you will enjoy it! COME ON OVER ALL THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS, SHE IS NOT WORKING FOR A PAYCHECK, SHE HAS $109,000,000 TRUST FUND (The Tax & Liability Avoidance Fund) PLEASE DO NOT LET HER USE YOU – SHE IS DESPERATE ! COME ON OVER AND SUPORT THE DEMOCRATS AND THE U.S.A..
Sincerely, Lake Hart, a Native American Writer.

Choose Dennis Kucinich for the Veep. Bet ya, BO will choose Dennis for attempting to get Ohio, or Bo will choose someone like Dennis.
A far left teams up with a even farther left. It will make moveon happier too.

Isn’t there anyone to run against Teddy Kennedy in Massachusetts?

No one ever bowed down to Bush so why in heavens should they bow to Obama? Keep dreaming Nat

I honestly think it will be Edwards. They think almost exact. It would be nice if he asks Collin Powell also. I know he is Rep. but after all it is all about change.

You McCain And Obama supporters actually think that you are in control now. You have NO control over anything, it is the MEDIA and the POWER TO Be that have controlled who will be running in the general election. They have brain washed so many into blaming the Clintons for everything. If your car does not start or it rains, then hell it is the Clintons fault. They want someone elected that they can CONTROL and not someone like the Clintons that will fight them. First they took control so Bush would be elected on the theme of everyone working together and change and we all know how that turned out. Then they used scare tactics to get Bush re-elected and NOW it change that will never happen because they have the control NOT Obama or McCain. This election is NOT about what the people want, NO it is about what THEY have decided is best. The Clintons have PROVEN that they will fight for the working people and yes they have lied and have friends that are not nice but that is every politician. The people will be NO better off than the last 8 years weather McCain Or Obama wins. The best man, Edwards was sent packing by the media and no one gave it a second thought.

Clinton should get OUT she is the winner of the stupid award<<<<Billy comes in second.The can't buy the White House.With all this crap she won't even win New York again…

Who care about VP. I already cross the party line to McCain

i’m a clinton supporter and i will vote against obama even IF he names Clinton his VP. i’m sickened by Obama’s snakelike, sleazy, hypocritical campaign. no democrat has done more for America than the Clinton’s and some naive community organizer is destroying their legacy, mocking the best 8 years America has had in last half century!

Nat Turner,
From Obama’s perfomance in Debates, it is hard to believe he graduated from Harvard…..

and Tom davie
i can tell you i have yet to meet a single person that actually took the time to go to an obama rally or at any event for all the candidates… who didn’t switch to Obama…
in new hampshire we were actually lucky and priviledged enough to have the opportunity to actually go to all the candidates rallies if you so chose…unfortunately hillary supporters…old faithful democrats and women who wanted to see her in the white house…didn’t really go to anybody outside of clinton
but those who did chose oBama or edwards…
not many stuck with her royal highness.
and those people are the ones who didn’t take the media with their spin

I love Juan on Fox news. BO only won white vote in 6 states…this from a black man who sees he has a problem!!!!What the — is wrong with DNC? Juan says they better bring up race in this nomination process. SHE WINS THE MAJORITY OF WHITE VOTE….WITHOUT THAT HE CANNOT WIN…HISPANICS….HOW DOES HE WIN WITHOUT THAT? Jeez…why does liberal media plug their ears and cover their eyes? HE IS ON A DECLINE WITH WHITE VOTERS SINCE WE LEARN MORE AND MORE ABOUT HIM…love Juan Williams, smart black Republican.

question…correct me if i am wrong-so far 35 million votes have been cast in the democratic primary…how many of these were caucus votes?

Does anyone take the word of an old fat drunk like Kennedy…who by the way killed a girl while DUI! I have not forgotten that have you?

Karen,
The reason why Hillary rejected is because Obama did not want to count the votes in MI but only delegates!!
The count of MI votes will diminish his win on popular votes!!

dl,
The change is hard, but we can’t make a change behind an “empty suit” because there is nothing to change!

One of them can be his secretary just to take care of his paper, remember he always lose it.

PS True Truth, while America may be a melting pot..the main ingredient is still White. He is not going to win that vote..not because he is Black but because he is a Kennedy-liberal with no experience. White folks except for the elite, do not vote this way. He will have to win the white vote to win and I doubt very much he will. Hillary would win the Black vote as well as the white, Hispanic, and Asian votes. It looks like a McCain victory and after that we have Obama to blame like Kerry and Gore.

Kennedy? OMG, tears are streaming down my face as I read this article! HAHAHAHAHAHA! That guy is the worst kind of politician: Rich family, so no feel for average Americans (elitist), DUI and kills his girlfriend and doesn’t fess up to it (lack of character), behind the scenes puppeteer(spin politician), presidential wannabee (loser) and he has the GALL to use the terms “responsibility… appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people…..real leadership” when speaking of Obama? What a joke. I take the old Seinfield show that George should do the exact opposite of his intuition and apply it to whatever this Kennedy says. Just the opposite is the truth, and what is real. Give me a break! He and Obama must really have some good laughs over their lattes sitting in their penthouse offices. Loser and losee. Hillary Clinton is so much further in EVERY category than these two bozo’s!

Vanessa…you say with Hillary comes Bill Clinton, how about with BO, comes Michelle….yeah…there’s an asset.

I’m sorry but having an advanced college degree from an elite University guarantees neither “common sense” nor “common appeal”..But, the elitist talk guarantees that those with respect for the working class, women, and older Americans and what they mean to the spirit of America will be turned off…or turned on to the non-Obama.

I know that Hillary’s supporters are disappointed but you don’t have to be so mena. I would ahve voted for Hill if she would ahve won. I don’t believe anything she say but I would have voted for her because I know we are doomed if McCain wins. Stop hating so much and look at what is at stake!

Obama did just fine on CCN.
Go to You Tube and search for:
JvdueV5p4eY
I think he’s going to run circles around a guy who is totally outclassed. The McBush team don’t even understand what they are up against when they complain about the phrase “losing his bearings”.

Who would be the food taster if Hillary’s the VP,I would not be able to trust her ,besides what would she bring but chaos. Her supporter’s would still vote for McCain to sabotage the GE so she can run in 2012. Nancy Pelosi has foreign policy experience if it just has to be a woman on the ticket

Sean,
No one will end the War in Iraq in the near term and even Obama admitted himself…
Obama has no experience on national security and foriegn policy and he has not earned any respect from international political stage…
You cannot make a change with an empty hope with no substance, because there is nothing you can change!

Hillary and her supporters wouldn’t know a “movement” if it were coming out of their collective arses…
You would think it would be easy for them to recognize it after it rolled over their precious unbeatable, well-established nominee…
Watch as this movement runs right over McCain…
…get onboard or step aside, because you don’t want to get run down twice by the movement being in McCains camp!
Welcome aboard and be a part of it, it is much more fun than being in front of it!

WAKE UP AMERICA! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OBAMA? VERY LITTLE EXCEPT WHAT REV. WRIGHT HAS REVEALED. AMERICA IS IN THE MOST DESPERATE TIMES IN DECADES AND WE ARE CONSIDERING OBAMA WITH NO EXPERIENCE EXCEPT FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZING. GET REAL! WE NEED A LEADER! WE NEED TO GET BACK TO TRUE AMERICAN PRINCIPALS.

Yeah, True Truth,
Let’s just obliterate more countries instead.
The problem we’re facing is credibility. There is none left. We’ve lost it. We’re the most hated country in the world. People look at the US bemused- how could any country vote for Bush? It defies belief..
If his party stays in, not only will it be another 4 years of corruption, stupidity but vindicating the global perception of US citizens.
If Hillary hadn’t lost the nomination, the ‘Self Serving’ strand would have continued too.
Sigh.. breath of fresh air.
Nobody can be worse then McCain. I’d vote Oscar the Grouch in before him. But, fortunatly, she was beaten on Tuesday.

ted,
Sorry, Americans will put country first not any political party! Americans have every right to vote for the one who will be the best to United States..

Hey Elbram what movement? The movement of being delusional? LOL Obama is going change a damn thing. What the movement of hope? Hope in one hand and sht in the other and see which one fills up quicker. Pa lease
Obama=McGovern

So much for change I don’t know who to hate more Kennedy ,Kerry, Gore,Dean and I tought women were back stabbers I can’t believe they have used thier own voters pitted us against each other and as usual created a cluster F—.WOW they really hate the only one man to do what FDR did Washington the cesspool of America

Haha..
It comes so naturally to her, that even in death she still lies.
..

The communist party has planned it long ago. In normal circumstance, they’ll fail.
Therefore they are fixed on a black candidate and flash the race card so that the black community against the Clintons.
Yet Hillary still gets about half of the vote. That tells you how tough Hillary is.
Many voters remember how Pelos, Kennedy is changing the rule. Howard Dean is discovered running an ad. against McCain with false accusations. Half of the communist party are crooks.
Kennedy went to the convention and lost to Jimmy Carter for the nomination. Jimmy Carter insisted that superdelegates should vote according to pledged delegates, the same thing that Pelosi said. However, the rule was changed that the superdelegates should vote according to their conscience that who is the better candidate despite the results of popularity vote and delegate counts.
All along the media, the public are misinformed about the role of superdelegate.
These crooks know all along that they are bending the rules for OBAMA.
They never aim to run a fair election because they know they won’t stand a chance. The communist party is fixing the election anyway they can. Still they can win the Clintons. They have to resort to pushing out Hillary before the convention. They are afraid to go to the convention because of the filth. they are busy covering their tracks now.
The communist party composed of Pelos, Dean, Carter are the brains behind the liberal extremists. One thing they did not know is how powerful the Clintons are though the party hit them by surprise and still they punch back with convincing victories.
The wrath of Clinton supporters are so powerful that the party is busy covering their a*s now. Hillary knows that she has all the money to run to finish and give them hell at the convention.
The race is not over until it is over. They can’t move the goal post to the 10 yard line and fake a touchdown; just see the snob makes a fool of himself.

It’s comments like Nat Turners that would make any person think twice about voting for Obama.

Her MR, you make my point when you say what movement? hahaha…
McCain and Hillary supporters both don’t know what being a part of one!

Anybody but Hillary! I’d love to have an Honest VP as well

I thought the super were only suppose to wiegh in if they were needed I demand that Cuba be brought in to over see this election

Change for the sake of change without a coherent plan is stupidity. Get a clue.

A real leader should never be arm-twisted to choose his right hand man/woman
Senator Clinton needs to learn how to lose gracefully- especially since she did not campaign gracefully
SHE needs to be a true leader and urge her supporters to UNITE for the good of the party instead of feeding into divisions

Ok. So we lost.
It seems obvious Obama will win the nomination.Acting like children and crying because Hillary lost isn’t going to help us. I’m willing to support Obama and will bring all the other Hillary supporters I know across with me.
He will be better than McCain. And.. he’ll keep BUSH and CHENEY away from the frey.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Obama 08. Time to cross the line.

Nat Turner, Kinda sounds like Obama’s spiritual advisor, Rev Wright and Obama in his arrogance in portraying himself as the winner of the nomination before Ted Kennedy sings.

Save our Country,
Why do you think Obama is better than McCain?? We won’t unite behind an “empty suit” but a true leader and fighter…

Obama will be fine.
The policies are the same as Clinton’s anyway.
Voting McCain out of spite is for unintelligent people. It would be a disaster. Even Hillary will vote Obama before McCain.
Are we kids or adults.
I’ll lead by example.. As a Hillary supporter.. I’ll support Obama. (if he wins the nomination).

Dems for 08.!

Haha.
I voted Hillary in Pittsburgh.
Just got to know when enough is enough..
Sorry – hate aint my game.

It’s Hillary or McCain!

hillary doesn’t have one ounce of dirty laundry versus kennedy he should have a stiff drink and go swimming he might see an old girlfriend floating around.he and kerry are sick old rejects,why cant some people just let this play out,they are totally afraid of a woman they cant bash around.GO HILLARY WE STAND ONLY BY YOU!!!!!!!!!!

If Rev Wright, Ayers and Rezco is your game vote Obama.

Elbram,
You forgot to mention Obama received more donation from special interest groups and lobbyists than from his Internet…
He is just the same typical politician backing by the same old politicians…
So what is new about him except that he can inspire young kids to jump and down…

I’m still praying for a miracle for Hillary (and our country) so that she is chosen the nominee, though we’ve already proven Obama is in league with criminals and America-haters, and apparently that wasn’t enough to wake people up. As far as Kennedy’s comment, he is no position to judge anyone else… He is a sleazy, nasty person… BO would be lucky to have Hillary as his running mate… A patriotic, prepared, intelligent person, to balance out his weaknesses…

Elbram,
Then what is the qualification Obama has to lead this country except he can make some young kids jump…

Elbram,
BTW, Obama sold his soul to his own power hunger by throwing his uncle pastor under the bus….
He has no gut to admit he agreed on what his pastor said for 20 years…

I have a meeting I need to go to…I will post the response to this in an hour or so…after the meeting.
you are incorrect on the special interest thing, he owes no one.

Senator Clinton would rather be Governor of New York. Ed Rendell, Gov. of Pennsylvania would be a good choice for Senator Obama. Rendell is an excellent politician, can deliver PA, no baggage, has presidential demeanor.

For all those who already know with certainty the outcome of the GE, here’s a chance to put your money where your mouth is. How much are you willing to bet? Ladbrokes.com (UK) has the following odds…
Obama: -120 (5/6 odds)
McCain: +137 (11/8 odds)
Clinton: +650 (13/2 odds)
For those who never before bet on a sporting event using Vegas odds: -120 means bet $120 to win $100, +137 means bet $100 to win $137, and +650 means bet $100 to win $650.
So here’s your chance to make some easy money by turning your certainty into cash.

Here’s what’s weird… Hillary is the winner among whites and latinos… And yet she’s losing (though that’s also because Michigan and Florida aren’t being counted)… The times, they are a’ changin’…
Part of the problem is that people are stupified. Their brains are not engaged… They’re looking for a quick fix, someone to sweet-talk them, whip them up… America, do not continue on this fast social decline, with voting based on skin color rather than aptitude to do the job… We’re going to wake up one day and find we’re not in America anymore, because we know what Wright thinks of our America.
Vote anyone, just NOT BO.

Put me in the Hillary or McCain category! McCain is NOT another Bush – I’ll have no problems voting for him.

True truth,
Looks like you have alot to say which I credit you for. Couple of things on your response:
1 Please tell me and others what percent did Clinton win by on the states she won and what did Obama win by. Everyone, red,black,white,green whatever your skin color, you vote with your own God given choices one has to make.
2. Dem’ rules. tell me did Obama or for that matter Clinton set down the rules for these elections and have interval meetings to changes rules????

Davis, good point. What I don’t understand is why all those who are so certain that McCain is going to win the GE don’t just draw down their 401(k)’s and bet it all on McCain. Here’s a chance to make an easy 137% on their money.

To all the women supporters of Hillary “still” out there…
You all say now that you would rather vote for McCain instead of Obama – now…
Wait until you all figure out that McCain is going to be the president that is going to appoint the judges to overturn Roe v Wade and take away your and your daughters right to choose!
By the way he said that a couple of days ago, but you probably didn’t hear that because you were still crying about Hillary’s defeat.
Me thinks the giant stampede of women supporters coming from the Hillary camp to Obama, will cause such a deafening roar, that we will all think we just heard a sonic boom in November!
You gals are not fooling anyone…….

My Name,
You are absolutely right there my friend!

Ya, we’ll see about that Gale…
Remember Roe v Wade? Maybe you don’t care about it, but I am sure some of your friends or family do…..

Save our country…how do you know Hillary will vote Obama? She’ll probably vote McCain too and have a better chance in 2012, because when Obama goes down in this one, like all other loser Dem Prez candidates…he won’t be able to run again, when the scandals break loose. I can’t believe white candidates have been kicked to the curb for much less than Obama’s negatives….double standard for the ever politically correctness of this country.

Davis…get beyound the scare tactics of Roe vs. Wade. I was 16 when that all went down in the 70′s….we are not going to turn back time on that one. Leave it alone, already.

Debra,
Don’t get your hopes up for 2012. Remember Gore? After he lost he was done permanently – That’s Hillary’s fate as well.
Done, over, forever!!

Davis, yawn – you’re boring me!

Last I checked , Davis, this primary season is not over. Why won’t your golden boy candidate debate in Oregon?
Everyone there is covering this, and he still runs scared as the presumed crown Prince. HE CAN’T DEBATE AND STRING TWO IDEAS TOGHETHER WITHOUT UH, UM, UUH.
He should debate Hillary just as a dress rehearsal for the big boys of the Republican party. He has E.D. around Hillary and is testicularly challenged.

Debra,
Get over Roe v Wade? My dear in case you didn’t know (because you are spending all your days and nights here defending a losing candidate), two Supreme court justices will be most likely retiring (because they are in their eighties and late seventies) in this next eight years cycle.
Only one or two more “anti-abortion” judges are needed on the court now to overturn Roe v Wade. I think it is time to start paying attention to the real world now……

Why has Obama stopped the votes in Florida and Michigan from being counted. They could save money by not having a GE in November and just giving the electorates to McCain.

Ted Kennedy is dead right. A Obama-Clinton ticket is a sure passport to defeat.
Hillary will not be an asset but rather a big, big liability. All the Republicans have to do is to play back all the negative comments she made about Obama.
And what about her White racism. It definitely will not go well with the African Americans. The dislike for the Clintons among the Republicans is so deep-rooted that Clinton on Obama ticket will rally them around John McCain to ensure his victory. There will be no Republican cross-over to the Democratic side. Instead droves of disappointed Obama supporters will either stay away from the voting booth or cast their vote for moderate Republican John McCain.
Which ever way you look at it, Hillary Clinton will be a BIG LIABILITY for Obama. Don’t take her on board. Stay clear!!

Apparently, Obama supporters have forgotten about the Ted Kennedy legacy of Mary Jo Kopeckne and Chappaquidick. Most of Americans have not.
Voters should be aware of the alignment of the most liberal of the liberal Democrats is emerging with great clarity.
Kennedy, Carter, Kerry, Pelosi, Dean, Sanders, and the rest the liberal guard are almost insanely jealous of the amount of influence that the Clintons have in the Democrat party.
As such, the affiliation of Barack Obama with the liberal elite is going to spell doom among seniors, gun owners, working class, and white voters in general.
At present, the above mentioned groups account for the voters that will elect the next President. One hundred percent of any given minority caucus will not.
The general election in November is not a caucus.
With an Obama candidacy, the Democrats will be hopelessly divided.
The voting majority will vote McCain.

ya know what really scares me and I mean this with no disrespect to anyone.. I am watching cnn right this minute and the politicans are saying the superdeligates will not go against the 95 pecent of the black voters…. Wow Even if Hillary won the state, the deligates dont want to take the nomination away from obama, Is that what this comes down to color???? I just thought as a society we were more advanced in our thoughts about race and sexism

Monique,
Sorry that reverend Wright thing is all played out now, and nobody cares anymore. You better inform your son overseas he needs to pay attention to what is happening here.
In case you forgot Obama won in a Landslide against Hillary in NC right in the middle of that “fake controversy.” Plus he brought her 10 point lead down to 2 points in Indiana.
So do you have another one? Because that one is old already. and will be ancient history by November….

Jayhawk,
Yes, yes, yes! That is the dream of ALL Obama supporters!!!!
Don’t “lower” yourself Hillary, at least any lower than you already are!

I have to admit, I’m uncertain as to the outcome of the November GE. But many on this blog are already certain McCain will win. If I were in such a position I would beg, borrwow and steal every cent I could and make some easy money. It would definitely make for a more comfortable retirement.
Come on people, make 137% on your money with a bet on McCain.

Bette:
Make no mistake. For Barack Obama, his supporters, and black voters, the Obama candidacy has never been about anything except getting a “black” candidate to vote for in November…even if that flawed candidate is only half-black.
While Americans may not be satisfied with George W. Bush and his policies, they are not yet ready for the socialist/communist type policies of the most liberal of the liberal, Barack Hussein Obama.
The general election and the electoral college are not the caucus-circus of the Democrat party.
We can all be thankful for that.

Monique, you keep cutting and pasting this same post all over the blogs. Why, once is enough.

Debra,
Why are you still here? I thought you would be over at Hillary dot com giving her all of your hard earned money so she can win!!!
I mean you have the conviction to put your money where your mouth is right?

Good man or woman LA in Indiana!
I (and millions of others across the county) were hoping all you guys would do the right thing out there for Obama the other night and you guys came through for ALL of us!!!
Thanks a Million!!!!

Can the Obama team think of anymore ways to discourage Clinton supporters from voting for him. Talk about loosing your bearings.

Debra, go give her some more then! Maybe give her that $30 bucks she was going to save you on that phony gas tax pander!
So are you still here? I thought you would be over at Hillary dot com giving her all of your hard earned money so she can win!!!
I mean you have the conviction to put your money where your mouth is right?

Oops…
Hey Debra,
Maybe you can put Hillary supporters “against” Roe v Wade on one of your tee shirts too!!
I mean it is all the McSame!

Emily,
I am recycling this one just for you…
To all the women supporters of Hillary “still” out there…
You all say now that you would rather vote for McCain instead of Obama – now…
Wait until you all figure out that McCain is going to be the president that is going to appoint the judges to overturn Roe v Wade and take away your and your daughters right to choose!

Me thinks the giant stampede of women supporters coming from the Hillary camp to Obama, will cause such a deafening roar, that we will all think we just heard a sonic boom in November!
You gals are not fooling anyone…….

Davis…it will never be overturned. Move on. My mother had an abortion before the 70′s…and fully supported Roe v Wade, and we will never go back in time about a woman’s right. Regardless of judges…no one or two people will dictate the will of many.

@ Davis:
You obviously don’t know the first thing about democratic voters. You also don’t know my gender- Emily is my Airedale Terrier.
As for female Hillary supporters swinging their votes to Obama, you’re dead wrong.
Like me, many Hillary supporters can live with four years of McCain, but we can’t live with betraying our ethics and principles to vote for Obama. Most of us can’t and won’t live with those who may be Obama’s choices for cabinet members and Supreme Court Justices. His choice of wife, pastor, and friends tell us his choice of appointees will be similarly reprehensible.
WE WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA, EVER.

To me it’s not so much about Roe v Wade. It’s the appointment of conservative judges that really worries me. And they do make the decisions that affect all of us. These judges are they until they retire. We can’t afford that.
Debra what do you mean no 1 or 2 people will dictate the will of many. Many want Roe V Wade overturned but it hasn’t happened because the Supreme Court is pretty balanced for now.

I sincerely hope Clinton will not ask nor accept VP position. Actually, Teddy or Kerry would be an excellent match for Obama to consider as his running-mate.

Will this old DRUNK FOOL ever shut up??? He is a disgrace to the Democrats and the world..He is just a worthless piece of C*R*A*P just like his 2 dead brothers.

Ya know with the Obama supporters talking about McCain and the judges, it seems to me they are using scare tactics, now I find that hard to believe seeing Hillary has gotten Mocked out for the 3 Am phone call ad by the Obama and his supporters saying she was using scare tactics. I dont this Roe v Wade will ever get overturned, And if we want to be afraid, I think we can be afraid also of a very inexperience Obama who has a very special minister that is like his uncle that he mentions many times in his book…. I think all the candidates have problems but We need to swift through the crap and I believe Saying Roe v wade will be overturned if McCain gets in is just being paranoid

The more of these old Democrats I hear them talk, the more I get turn off. I am for McCain 100% this time.

Davis, I think getting Hillary to be the nominee is the only thing they care about. And to heck with everything else. It’s very narrow minded.

former dem, it is so much more than Roe v Wade. Stop thinking about just yourself. We are talking about the Supreme Court here. Do you not get what is at stake. Good grief, talking to some Hillary supporters is like talking to a brick wall.

When you look at who is actually complaining about a joint ticket, its Pelosi and Kennedy.
This means they are the ones pulling the strings behind Obama, and that was what this was really about the whole time.
They want control of the party, and having Hillary on the ticket cramps their style.
Not having her on the ticket puts his chances of winning in serious jepardy however.
He has not won the blue collar white vote. He never has. They are loyal to clinton and Mc Cain is a real alternative to them.
Obama will have to pick some guy who has blue collar appeal, but I highly doubt it will make up for Obamas liberal appeal.
When you have the loser of the nomination running BETTER against Mc Cain and winning all the major primiaries, you would think how easy a choice it would be to pick her.
It just goes to show how full of it the democratic insiders are.
I had to cut/paste this post by TomDavie…it was a pretty good analysis.
Change we can believe in…come on people….WHAT CHANGE??

I am right there with you andy sf…
Us idiotic Clinton supporters need to create a blog for all of us to exchange ideas rather than to hear all the nastiness and negativity that is always thrown our way. Kennedy is coming off just as arrogant as Obama.
I am in my 30′s as well, a former Biology teacher who left to open a business. Party loyalty is for weak-minded people. When the party that you have been loyal to has come to this, I will vote according to who I believe to be the best leader for our country.

Obama the fake liar and never in the White House with Michelle the swift boater for the Republicans.
McCain 09!

andy sf,
Archie Bunker & George Jefferson were fictatious characters of the 1970s depicting the UGLY & STUPID race relation in the USA – the Clinton empowered all the Archies and Georges in their camp and rekindled the ugly head of hatred and segregation in America – for what? Politics! Politics! Politics! The “Race-Card,” the consequence is mot in favour of the USA, as a matter of fact it is very divisive. These are the kind of activities that “our enemies” love to see – don’t we have enough enemies in the world, than to create these kind of enmity in the USA, among Americans? Please work with the Independents, Clinton Supporters and Obama Supporters to promote what is right and fair and just to all Americans! Sincerely, Lake Hart, a Native American Writer.

Lake Hart – A Native American Writer ,,
are you telling me that the Obama camp did not turn to the race card themself. My, i must be watching news instead of watching the opinion of the so call reporters. They are all politicians. Obama, clinton and mccain. i am not that naive. are you telling me that the bblacks voted over 80-90% for obama even before south carolina had nothing to do with him being black? even that they had the highest praise for the clintons not long ago? By simplely stating the truth they became racist and divisive? and those of us that use oour brain are being call racist and is all clinton’s doing? and the liberal lsft can’t do wrong? I pick who i think iis best for the country, not who will make the parties happy. republican or democrat. if is not clinton then mccain.

zimeeism,
This is not a creation of Lake Hart or any one person. Look at the stats on the EXIT POLLS for the Clinton -It is non Collage Educated Blue Collar, Working-class White Males 45 plus – The Archie Bunkers. I did not make this up – listen to Hillary’s interview West Virgina Voters, her supporters. Racism is alive and well in America – the Clinton adds fuel to the fire for politics in this campaign. Lake.

calli, I know I am talking to a wall here but the Supreme Court is a very serious issue. And it’s not just about abortion. This is not politics of fear it is the real thing. Are you really that naive that you don’t think conservative judges could change this country. It won’t take years if it is a conservative court. Earth to Calli, some will be retiring soon and then we are in deep trouble if McCain is the pres.

Well Teddy,
You can be a jealous Clinton-hater, but one things for sure— the Vice President will NOT be you, Swimmer!
I guess you still haven’t gotten over that spankin’ Hillary gave you in Massachussetts!

To Lisa: YOU BETTER HOPE THEY NOMINATE HILLARY THEN!

Lake Hart – A Native American Writer, I consider him black and white before he call himself a BLACK candidate before the south carolina primary(to get balck vote). I still don’t see him as black, to me he’s alway both black and white. Now, tell me if that’s the kind of change you are talking about. Show me the record of him on changes, then i will believe. i am no blind believer on faith. i am no longer 25, so i am too old for that.

lisa, it happen to me a few times before. I wrote y-ou–tu-be on the post and the samething happen to me. If you cahnge a few words, that might help.

calli, she won’t be the nominee but I would vote for her if she were.

andy but now I lost what I wanted to say :( lol Why does ABC do that

I have very little respect for Ted Kennedy. Everyone talks about Bill Clinton’s infidelity, well what about Ted Kennedy? His actions killed someone and he got away with it. You do all remember Chappaquiddick don’t you? And he’s supporting Barack Obama? Think twice about your vote people.
I’m white, female, middle class and I am not voting for Barack Obama. I just don’t like him. I think he is arrogant and inexperienced. So now that I’ve said that how many of you are going to call me a racist? I’m really sick of reading the word racist in these blogs. I just don’t want to vote for him and I am in no way, shape or form a racist. I think that those of you who call some of the bloggers racists are actually racists yourselves.

Experience? McCain has more than Shillary and Black Obama put together. Shillary is only where she is due to her gender and marriage, and ODrama is only there becaue he is black.
Vote American: McCain!

andy sf,
You hit it on the nail, there are racist in every race. That is why I said Archie Bunker & George Jefferson is alive and well in the USA. When you talk about social democrat, how about Michael Moore, a great guy, you would love him if you spend a few minutes with him – he is fighting for truth, American Truth and Social Justice for a better America. I know you care about this great land, the homeland of my forefathers for thousands of generation
that is why you are a Democrat ot Independentantis – however if we truly want to turn around the economy and the Failed Bush Policies, we have to COME TOGETHER to prevent John McCain from continuing the SAME’O! SAME’O BUSH STUFF! Patient my friend, and let us give a helping hand to the ARCHIES AND GEORGES, for the USA – the best country in the world! Lake hart.

When Obama was addressing black, male citizens of North Carolina he called them all brothers. This really bothered me because it told me that he was aligning himself with black, males. My next thought was what about everyone else? What about me? Is he going to care about me because I’m white, female and middle class and I’m not a brother? As president is he going to care about everyone or is he going to focus on a particular population?

All that i said about liberal aside, i agree with kenedy. They should be elected base on their own merrit. If the american are to be paying for their vote for bush, they should be paying for a vote for obama or mccain. Hillary won’t be able to doing anything for the american people as Vp. So they should not give her a spot just to make her fell good, and trick her supporter into supporting Obama. Let them vote base on their own choice.

calli, sorry you have lost me with your post. You are so angry. I am 53 and educated, so why try to degrade me. Is this what Hillary supporters do now. And I am sorry that you don’t know what the Supreme Court will do. It is scarry.

d ,, can you tell me why would we wvote for Obama, please tell me what would do for this country?

On second thought,if Obamacans don’t want Hillary on the ticket–no problem!
Obama can take that big vote-getter Dennis “the Grinch” Kucinich as his running mate. Hillary supporters can stay home to keep the progressive movement “pure.”
Barack can get his nasty, hateful caucus thugs to cheat and bully Republicans into voting for him.
Reverend Wright can swear him into office. And Lady McBeth Michelle Obama can serve plenty of hemlock at the inaugural ball.
Yes They Can!Yes They Can!Yes They Can!

Davis , I am not educated in a degree sense. but I am sure that i had read more than you ever had on a board range of object. If you had IQ over 140, then you can tell me how smart you really are. Otherwise, all the education in the world can’t give you wisdom.

andy sf & Davis
May be it is way past my bed time. I am sorry that I pressed the post button twice – these are mechanical things – mistake are made. Sorry!!!!!
andy,
I am not a preacher, a spiritual person, I do not need followers – however if the choice is WAR! WAR! WAR! and I have a say it will be NO! NO! NO!
Bush got us where we are, Hillary Clinton voted for war in Iraq and sided with Bush, continually, constantly, because the people who were supporting her campaign were the “Special Interest Warmongers in Washington”. That is why we need change! Get with the program and work for THE PEOPLE’S PARTY – THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY under the Leadership of Sen. Barack Obama! Good night! Lake.

Dem here who WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA. Hillary must win the nomination or McCain will be President! Wake up!

Did anyone hear David Gergen say that if Hillary becomes veep, Obama is going to need a food taster? And another gentleman followed that remark up with “Everyone knows that Hillary would do ANYTHING to be Presdient.” This is scary thinking — could it be true, though? It might be a lot better for Obama to pick someone else, NOT Hillary.

So let’s see, the Obama camp and everyone who supports and endorses him are saying it’s time to unify the party, and Kennedy’s comments regarding “nobler aspirations of the American people” are helping in what way? Time for MA to put Kennedy to pasture. I agree with the idea of getting rid of “old politics” and when the Obama camp sends Clinton out to pasture they should also send Kennedy, Kerry, Hart, Daschle, Dean, Pelosi, Richardson and so on. Obama says don’t vote for Clinton because she’s “old politics” and yet all the Democrats who support or endorse him are “old politics” and all the politicians that are going to be inspired supposedly by his message/s to bring change upon this Country are “old politics”. So how is Mr. New Politics going to turn those Mr. and Ms. Old Politics into making change? Let’s see how well the Obama camp does in regards to uniting this party because so far, in just the past couple days, as a Clinton supporter I have been nothing but offended. I think Obama’s belief that he can easily sway the Clinton supporters over to his side if he just lays out his positions is misguided and naive. We know his positions and they aren’t that different then Clinton’s and why we don’t support him is because of his record, experience or lack of or for some people his character. So positions aren’t going to do the trick.

Nancy Pelosi has an approval rating lower than Bush.
Its like 100,000 to 1 against her being ono the ticket.
And she certainly isnt any ‘new’ politician.
Im sure Obama will pick who Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry tell him to pick.
And then he will lose.

I would like to see Richardson, Webb, or Bob Casey as Obama’s VP pick. Obama 2008!

I am very happy for Americans who almost have Obama giving a truly alternate point of view.
I feel Obama is moved by the spirit of the common good. I am not sure why day after day we only see numbers for the American dead in Iraq, and not the 700,000 or so Iraqi dead.
Americans are not a race of people. America is an ideal. Justice and equality for all. That’s worth fighting for. That’s worth dying for. Let’s not forget, as outgoing presidential nominee Hillary reminded us, that the world’s sympathy was fully with the US after 9/11. I think you are very lucky to be on the verge of a presidency with Obama. He has indeed shown leadership, and has risen above the pettiness of the day to day. I watched his speech in NC and then his speech on race, and I was amazed. What it comes down to is courage. “Speaking truth to power” is what he does, with a good mind backing it. My God, we are so caught up in the rhetoric, we can forget what brought us to this point: the incredibly cynical and cold-blooded policies of Bush, that were also incredible blunders. Who weeps for the people of Iraq. They too are people of the world. America is an ideal, one that made it strong. Bush has left you weak, weak because you cut off the source of strength. With Obama, you have a chance to be strong again in the best possible way, the original way, and the world will get behind you, and it will be a new day if there is someone in the Whitehouse everyone feels they can trust. Don’t justify the horrific change of American values thrust on you by Bush, Cheney, Rice and Rumsfield. I truly believe if anyone can get Universal healthcare for the US off the mark, if anyone can make America beloved again, and solve the middle east peace problems, it will be Obama.
Just wait until he tours the world, people will be waving American flags for him. I will.
God Bless America: have hope again, have dreams. Change is coming to Washington. It’s about the Spirit of the idea. I feel it, I hope you all do too.
-Khal Shariff

WRONG Shel, Hillary has already lost the nod and she knows it. She is just going thru the motions to take care of some unfinished business. She would have done a good job but Obama will be better for this country at this time. He’ll be able to start cleaning up the mess caused by the whole bush-league. Obama will also win in the fall by a landslide against mc-more-war. Obama 2008!

I do not respect Kennedy’s statement and there are millions like me! I guess we should chalk it up to his lack of respect for women starting at Chappaquidick! He and Kerry can’t even get Massachusettes to vote their way. LOL

As a Hillary supporter, I would vote McCain if she is not nominated. Why would I vote McCain even though a democrat?
For several reasons:
McCain has promised to….
Remove all pork barrel spending and balance the Federal budget. This is our #1 reason for Social Security shortfall.
Will not raise taxes — payroll and capital gains like Obama. Has also promised to get rid of the AMT to help the middle class.
Help the economy: By rewarding those who invest in businesses which in turn will promote job growth.
Will get us out of Iraq honorably even though it may take some time, I would rather be patient than have a mess in the Middle East.
Appoint justices who interpret the law instead of interpreting with their own stances.
My #1 reason not to vote for Obama is that he is a big time liberal with tons of influential liberal friends and they will tank the economy in the name of fixing it and we will find ourselves fighting a huge depression again! It will be a nightmare. Although, I just have the one vote, I will fight hard for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee and my donations for the democrats will instead go to the swift boaters. I never believed I would say this by it has been so disheartening to see the course taken by the democratic party.

yo! pt: what kind of democrat are you?! – the people are still voting!!! – but no, you want to leave them out – Just as you want to leave MI and FL out?Why should you care, as long as you had a say – Why is that?

What makes me so sad is that it really won’t matter who wins, not a lot will change. What we need, regardless of WHO wins (I think they are all shades of gray) – are NEW energy policies, and to get our butts OFF of oil reliance. Until we address our oil dependency, anduntil we get serious, as many other capitalist & industrialized nations have, we will be slaves to oil. Thereby, our Govt will still kowtow to Big Oil like Exxon. There has been a complete lack of leadership across the board on this for YEARS, and America is falling BEHIND. Before too long, we will be completely irrelevant to the global community. A *crisis* is coming, and no one will be able to afford the last barrel of oil. Our new leadership needs to break our slavery to Big Oil.

Well folks, what do you think about the guy who includes people who say that 9/11 was a punishment that America deserved and America needs more days like 9/11. These are people who should have been imprisoned because they tried to bomb the capitol building but got away on a technicality! Do you think this guy is better than McCain who became a POW and was tortured and could have walked free had he sold out to the enemies? Do you believe this guy is better than McCain who said bomb Iran because of the strong rhetoric of Ahmedinejad, the Iranian president? Do you really believe that this guy is better than McCain? Talk about priorities and what is important — Do you seriously believe just because of a few words uttered in the lightness of the moment is more serious than the guy who sat day after day with people who hate America and believe that they were a part of his inner circle of friends? I agree that Hillary is better than McCain but Obama??? Give me a break!

Say, Ted, what happened to “voting with your constituents”? Guess that’s just the rule for people who back Clinton. Obviously, Obama is Kennedy’s chance to firmly plant his feet inside the threshold of the oval office and play President vicariously through BO.

Lou, Everyone that voted for Obama feels the same way. It will take more than words to fix the mess were in. Research who you vote for. A campaign slogan is just a campaign slogan.

Teddy was probably too drunk to know what he said anyway.

Claire McCaskill is the idiot who let her teenage daughter manipulate her into supporting Obama. She said on television her teenage duaghter threatend to never speak to her again if she didn’t support Obama. I wish I lived in Misspuri so I could vote against her. If that is the way she decide candidates then she doesn’t belong in politics. Let her run the PTA.

You people are so misguided. Obama/Clinton ticket equals President McCain.
If Obama gets the Nom. and you are a Clinton supporter that will vote for McCain — you have no principles. Obama and Clinton are almost identical on all policies, and you’d drop everything important about the real issues to vote for McCain?—McCain?!–who will bring the same policies as the Bush’s? WHY?! (sigh)
Stop being close minded and vote based on the real issues. The War, the Economy, Healthcare, Gas, education. Geez, America act like you have some sense.
Oh, by the way.. Richardson/Obama equals President McCain.
Obama NEEDS a Gov. or Sen. from one of the swing states–OHIO, PENN either a moderate Democrat with experience and white blue collar appeal OR a Moderate Republican to win the GE.
Clinton/McCain would be a good ticket but then again, wouldn’t that be pandering?
Cheers.

Ol’ man Kennedy has lost it. Not only has Obama’s arrogance incensed Hillary supporters, but Kennedy has just added gobs of gasoline to that flame. That drunk has got some nerve. How many times did he try to run for president? Seems like a million….all to no avail. His own constituency, the people of Massachusetts voted in Hillary’s favor. He’s trying to live vicariously through Obama. He knows that Hillary could never, and would never be his puppet. If Obama turns out to be the nominee, we’d better get used to saying “President McCain”. I for one don’t like the sound of that.

Obama IS CLUELESS how many states are in the Union. He is thinking: was it 57 or is it 59…
Notwithstanding, he wants to be President!
No worries, help is at hand! Uncle Teddy Kennedy has already taken over
the podium, he is on the bridge and stearing Obama’s wessel. The other
helper is the young John Kerry who flip-flops on issues which only confuses Jimmy Carter sitting next to him. Pelosi is the weatherman but all she can do is tell what everyone already knows that the storm is coming. Can she stop it? Of course not. Then there is Richardson the light-house operator if he can get up 20 flight of stairs before
he changes his mind.
Obama supporters wakey wakey…

I will remember Rockerfellow and all the other dem.When their election time comes. A CHANGE IS NOT LETTING TEDDEY TELL YOU ANYTHING.

If I was Obama I would be very cautious about HRC as VP. She wants to be president not VP. She could quickly become president from the VP spot. Look what happened to that Stewart fellow from Whitewater.

I don’t understand why CLinton supporters would vote for McCain if Obama was the nominee. It just doesn’t make sense. Is this more stupid commentary by the media to pressure Obama into choosing her?? If these people were real democrats, how could they vote for a republican who would be more of the same last 8 years. And he has no exit strategy in Iraq. Let’s get a democratic in. And I used to be a republican who voted for W twice. I have had enough of him and the R party.

yes, but Hillary is not a uniter. And she will always be trying to one up Obama if she is the VP. Look at the role she played when Bill was president. I doubt she will sit around and help Obama do a great job. I don’t understand why people dislike Obama and like Hillary. As a woman, she is the last person I would vote for!

To: Borninkl — Having followed Ms. Clinton’s career since she was First Lady of Arkansas, I have witnessed her ability to push for change.
Hillary was extremely courageous to take on the insurance companies in the early 1990′s when no one else dared.
She has fought for education improvement which is why most Teacher’s unions have endorsed Hillary over Obama.
She has fought for health care reform which is why most Nurse’s unions have endorsed Hillary over Obama, too.
Clinton has a rich resume of service to our country. Yes, she has made some enemies along the way (mostly Republicans) as she has fought for Democratic values.
Hillary is not a fence sitter, as I fear Obama will be. She clearly takes a side, one which benefits the middle class over corporate interests, and fights to the death for it. This may not UNITE the parties, but it helps THE PEOPLE who are suffering with foreclosures, poverty, no health insurance, etc…
Please review her accomplishments regarding military benefits for National Guard members and Traumatic Brain Injury. Both of these issues affect my family members. It has been very hard for us.
Hillary has proven that she can make a difference. I don’t so much like her as I RESPECT her. I am thankful she fought for my family. I do not see her as a woman – but as someone who has made my life better by being on our side. She cared when no one else did.

Get over it people. We have had Democrats jump over to the Republican side before and it’s because the Democrats make the same mistake over and over and over and nominate candidates that don’t connect with the 3/4 of this Country which is working class (defined by not having a college education) and lower middle class. The two times we won we had candidates who were able to pull in those voters, Carter and Clinton. If Obama does not win it will not be because of the Clinton supporters it will be because of a Democratic party that seems to be incapable of learning and even when given what should be a slam dunk election for the Democrats, they will just screw it up and nominate someone who won’t win.

What does Senator Kennedy have against the Clintons? I agree that he wants to control Senator Obama. Possibly the Clintons did not always support the measures he wanted and threatened his (senior-Senator) status in the Senate. Bah humbug on you Kennedy! Get over it! You already ruined our best hope for President…Hillary Clinton. Quit trying to be king-maker and retire! Kudos to the people of Mass who see through you and voted for Hillary!
