Muted Clinton Preaches Unity, Claims Indiana Victory

I watched the speech and she was great. She was not muted at all!

The reporter is being deceptive. Bill did not smile because he was emotional and trying to not show it :) He looked very proud!

“Democratic president would be best for you, Clinton said” Not with liberal and unexperience Dem candidate, majority people think.

I watched her speech too. She was great and Bill Clinton was smiling behind her all the way through.

BobNC it aint over yet!

Clinton has been attacked over and over again in this race, not only by Obama but by the press. Obama will crumble against McCain.
I dislike McCain but despise Obama. Save us from this racist.
If not Clinton then McCain for sure 08

These folks are NOT Democrats, no more than the people who voted for McCain were Republicans. Hilliary and McCain have the same welfare/warfare statist base irrespective of political party. No wonder if one loses they are more than willing to vote for the other. Maybe Limbaugh has been pointing this out to us in plain sight all along, and we just didnt know it… It couldn’t be, could it???

If her name was “Hillary Smith” instead of CLINTON no one would even give her a second look! She had the backing of her husband a 2 term president and the entire Democratic party and she came up short!

Give Obama a chance! He is uplifting and inspiring. Exactly what this county needs to lift up the American reputation around the world. Clinton is divisive and you can see those supporting her doing all they can to tear the party apart. Sore losers determined to drag the Democratic party down with them. Good job.

Clinton will say anything to get elected. Do you really think she can relate to the poor workers? She or Bill will get another book deal and make millions more. She thinks she’s entitled to the presidency by just being a Clinton. Time for Change.

Huckabee could have stuck around and tore down support for McCain, but he didn’t. He put the good of the GOP ahead of his own personal desires. Clinton’s selfishness will end up costing the Democrats in the end. She never wanted Kerry to win in 2004 and now that she will not win the nomination, she is determined to torpedo Obama.

Let us unite behind the nominee, be it Hillary or Obama. God Bless America

Whoosh!!!! That is the sound of millions of life long democrats defecting to John McCain.

You can win the battle but lose the war. The war between McCain and Obama will be ugly I predict and John McCain will win because no one questions he loves America. Hillary never really went after Obama and she could have–now the DNC will try to kiss up to her supporters– forget it–my vote is McCain and it will not change. So sorry Mrs. Clinton–I still hope you can pull out the nomination–but the DNC is against you.

Clinton didnt really go after Obama because she is a true democrat who stands for all the voters. She has bailed him out several times to help him not look so bad. He double-crossed her by running in the first place when he himself said he was not qualified because the big bucks from the liberals backed him and manipulated him just like he did in IL.. dirty politics. He is a disgrace to America just like Ted Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Reid, Leahy, and Dean.

The sad thing in this race is Democrats are worst than republicans. What I mean to say is republicans do not care wheather you are blue or green as long as you are a republican they will vote for you. Democrats have more prejudice. The plantation mentality is over. It is OK to support Obama or Hillary. Whomever the winner I will vote for him or her. Democrats that dare to vote for McBush are not democrats. They are supporting Bush’s third tirm. They do not care about the war, universal health care.

Lots of discussion among leaders in IN about the voting tally issues. Mayors are claiming they turned in votes hours ago and they dont know why the numbers are not coming in. I just heard them say it appears something corrupt may be happening and there will be investigations.

I will always support senator Clinton, I will vote Mcain in November if OB is a nominee. I just donate her $50 to keep her going no matter what is outcome of this primary selection. AA is racist and they vote for him 92%.

The projections are finally in – Clinton won IN. Now we need the investigation into the actual vote tally to make sure she is not being rooked into losing delegates she earned. IN officials stated there will be investigations. Aint it funny the county that held back had a mayor who supports Obama and it borders Chicago?

The DNC is so elitist!!!!!

Indiana’s voting was all screwed up. Requiring the licenses and closing most polls at 6. What if you work until then? For crying out loud, it’s Tuesday! Hillary won IN by only 22,000 votes. Barack creamed her in NC.

All things being equal I think Sen Clinton should stay in and not give up anything Obama got 91 percent of the vote in NC and whites are still overwelmingly voting for Hillary … I dont think Hillary should accept a VP nomination but as it stands Obama will be forced to offer it to her!

staniam: Rough night? I told you last week that Obama would seal things up tonight….should have listened.

Obama fooled me, hoodwinked me, bamboozled me, he is a liar and a cheat. I pray the superdelegates wright the wrong.

Before Wright story, I think I can vote for Clinton/Obama or possible Obama/Clinton ticket. But for sure that I will vote for John McCain now.

What’s really changed? They were about 150 apart in delegates before the primaries, and with the apportioning of delegates per DNC rules – they’re what -160 apart?! Nothing has really changed -
SuperD’s would do better to look at the exit polls showing that almost 50% of HRC supporters won’t vote for Obama …

It doesn’t matter anymore Hillary wins or loses.
She is the winner.
Obama stole the votes in IN tonight.
It’s all over the news.

Dennis: You forgot the fact that Obama has added 210,000 to his popular vote.

Staniam – there is no doubt the DNC is corrupt and fighting corruption is a difficult task. She continues the fight for the core democrats as she should do. As for her supporters here on this thread.. I see plenty. :)
The DNC will likely continue its corrupt ways in election fraud since all of the people in control have a clear record of doing so. Between Obama’s learning of election fraud Chicago style and what they have taught him, it looks like they tried to steal IN too. Guam appears to possibly have wrongdoings as well and only Obama had an office there with 3 paid staffers. With the evidence of fraud in so many state caucuses and possible attempts to manipulate the vote tally in IN today, there is no way I will pay the DNC any of my money. I will remain Independent and support Clinton.

blue Irish: All over FOX “News”?

Even Clinton has given up, cancelling all of her T.V. appearances tomorrow.

TOm
what you were looking for and what all commentators on the networks tonight were breathless about was the Obama comeback in IN and it didnt happen and tyes there are disputes in Guma so I recommend you not try to strong arm Hillary people because Obama will not get elected without us

Dennis: Please explain…I don’t understand what you said.

Tom – w/the splits in popular vote in Indiana and NC, Obama’s gain of 210K votes results in his being 2.2% over HRC’s popular vote count. [See RealClear for updated numbers]. If I’m remembering correctly, BO lead was about 2% last week.

I like Obama because he has such a nice family. I remember there was a constant stream of ex-mistresses coming forward to sue, or write a book, when Clinton was president–also he had an affair in the White House–I want a good guy, a good family man as president–that man is Obama.

Tom,
All news, CNN too.
Go to the other blog of Political Radar, about GORE: race will be settled before the convention.
All the bloggers are talking about it.

If you remember, McCain has been married twice. But Obama has a great marriage (first one) and a great family. That’s character.

DCVoter
thats right..was that Gary,IN mayor auditioning for his close-up tonight or what! I guess chicago style kneecap poltics is what we have to endure but the fact is they cant win without Hilary voters and real Democrats are not voting for him!

Popular vote will change anyway with Clinton wins in KY and WV so he may have edged up in popular vote for now because of black voters but the remaining states do not have many black voters. He has a significant problem with whites and rural voters now as seen in 6 large state elections now.

Carlasue
on the way back from Canvassing today I heard the report that the new magic number is 2300 not 2025 they can will and should make it as difficult as possible for Gov Dean who bought into this fiasco!

DCVoter
yea the media was playing down that scenario tonight too but she iw projected to win in WVA with 65 percent as of now so how can that not up her popular vote/delegate count

Some awfully bitter comments from the Clintonistas despite the writing on the wall since Ohio/Texas.
She has not had a realistic chance since that time to win the nomination, and tonight was just the culmination of the inevitable. Barack Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee. I am personally looking forward to the General Election and a spirited debate.

TOm Hilary will win OR its goingt o be back and forth and will be taken to the convention and you all cannot win without Hillary support or supporters

staniam: I hate to tell you this, but WV only has 28 delegates…little to no difference considering they split them.

Texvoter
do not try to draw out the Clinton voters by insults you cannot win without us and we dont have to support Obama whioh means he will not be elected

This contest was over a long time ago. I am simply stating the facts.

Melissa
reminds me of the two for one thing that the Clintons talked about in the first election .. the Obamas are repeating what the Clintons did then they are getting along for poltical expediency!

melissa, you are right. i have read the same things as you have about michelle being hacked off at obama because of the attention to ‘other women.’ however, i don’t give a crap about that, i ain’t married to him, or bill for that matter. what counts is someone who has the ability, experience and knowledge to run this country. so so many people who got to vote early and who voted for obama in early primaries wish with all their hearts they could take their vote back after seeing who he really is.

Tex voter you can use whatever facts you want but the one premise remains that you cannot win without Clinton voters so it looks like you have a big problem

Here’s the real deal.
Clinton’s mantra is “do whatever you’ve got to do to win. But it needs to stop when you are in the WH.” The Republicans don’t have the extra line-not that it is really followed. Clinton knows she is a politician, and acts like one. She was still very intelligent woman, had the most detailed policy plans-but poor judgement in campaigning. After GW, the dirt was so evident now, people need a little break from it-that is why Obama is ahead-he wants to be a gentleman. The Wright episode doesn’t hurt him so much-who doesn’t have the crazy uncle at the barbeque? Obama’s tactics might be less brutal, but he has the money and base to overwhelm the Rove’s, pundits…FOX news like an ocean wave. Who isn’t honestly tired of all the spin, lies, garbage (from both sides?)
Our country is suffering. People dying on bridges, dying in flooded cities, overseas, losing their houses, savings..our livelihoods evaporating to the Chinese, our money being devalued, the debt doubling, on and on…but the majority cannot rely on the billionaires or the politicians to fix this mess-they are doing fine. We must demand fair elections, a fair money and tax system, and get rid of these cable news “shows” that just misinform.

Tom – W/70%+ disapproval ratings to Bush, even Republicans don’t want another Republican president right now! Problem is when you’re choosing b/w centrist/strong on natl defense vs Repub, the centrist wins. When the vote is liberal/lets all get along vs Repub, the Repub wins.

Obama polls 12 points better than McCain, so I don’t believe your point is even remotely valid.
If you remember, the Republican Party was severely divided before McCain won the nomination. They are united behind McCain, albeit it is soft support in some corners of the party. Do you really believe the Democrats will not unite behind Obama now that he has won the nomination? Really?
Again, I get that all Clinton fans are disappointed and bitter at this inevitable result, but your statement has no basis in fact and has no historical reference to even back it up.

Texvoter
no sir Mccain his ahead of Obama in national polls now and the CLinton people will not go with Obama no matter what!

Obama is ahead in the polls over Mccain. He beats him 51% to 40% according to CNN/MSNBC.

Tom wrote: “Hillary may get support from rural voters, but during the general election they always vote REPUBLICAN.”
I think it should be: “Obama may get support from rural voters, but during the general election they always vote REPUBLICAN.” So far, Obama only can win in caucus, small and Red States during primary. Without support from middle and working class in big states and with winner take all and no caucus in general election, McCain will win definitely.

staniam: It’s so funny how you keep on saying he won’t win….and yet he does. LOL!!

stock_craft: Take a look at how Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and NC voted by county. Obama won every single populated place. Clinton won the areas where there’s only a gas station and “nice folks.”

staniam: I have no clue where you came up with that one….all those angry tears must be blurring your thought process.

Melissa: Funny…according to the Clintons the popular vote matters.

JERAMIAH WRIGHT 08′
A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS A VOTE FOR THE RADICALISM OF WRIGHT AND OBAMA’S OTHER RACIST ASSOCIATES……..
GO OBAMA/WRIGHT 08′
WAKE UP PEOPLE, DON’T BE BLIND!

stock_craft: The research triangle in NC has African-Americans? The suburbs of Philly are populated with them? Evansville, IN is their home? I doubt it.

Tom, popular votes might matter in Primary but not in General Election. In 2000 Al Gore had won popular votes but lost the electoral votes to G. Bush.

Hillary is the better candidate and better president.
But Obama ran a better campaign and deserves the nomination.
Lets give credit where it is due.
I think she should drop out now. She wont be president in 2009.

Tom, I don’t want to argue with you any one because you seem like the one never want to open your mind and listen to the fact. Believe it or not, the same people who voted against John Kerry (moral votes) in 2004 will come back as patriot votes to vote against your hero, Senator Obama. As a citizen, I have done enough to support Hillary but look like she will lose and not much I can do but stopping posting and vote for John McCain or stay home on November 04 if Hillary drops out.

No, they’ve alienated YOU. The majority of the party will be just fine, and even Hillary herself has said she would work hard for Obama.
Again, I know you’re bitter, but saying the Party is split just because you’re angry doesn’t hold much water. Even the words of your candidate tonight run contrary to your bitter, divisive comments.

hey bob-texas voter sure is thin skinned. i feel uncomfortable with indiana results especially since the deciding county (second largest in the state) is the one bordering illinois…and the one that held up results until all the other votes were in. i mean what were they waiting for?

You know, why don’t you Hillary fans tell me one good thing that she has done. Now shes talking about a forced health care policy. Do you know what that would do to a low wage workers pay check. Im sure the big business health care industry is just waiting to clean up when Hillary becomes president. Go Hillary!

The party needs to rally around Obama.
There is no point in fighting amongst ourselves anymore.
I believe Hillary is the better nominee. But lets face it, Obama ran a far better campaign. He earned the nomination.
So lets rally around him and defeat John Mc Cain.

hey tomdavie; as a hispanic i have no problem with mccain. his policies on immigration are fair. on many occasions while living in phx 3 years ago before he announced his bid for the presidency he risked loosing the support of his own party by advocating for humane treatment of immigrants while recognizing the need for secure borders. obama on the other hand did not even metion us during his race speech.

Bush and the Clintons have put this country 9 trillion in debt. Now tell me about all the EXPERIENCE that the first lady has. I just don’t get you people. Do you care about your country, or is it that you just hate black people. Go Hillary.

when blacks were voting overwhelmingly for white in years past they were not called names..now that they are voting for Obama they are now characterized as racist, among other things..Let me ask you a question..Are the working class whites who have been voting overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton racists? The fact is that Blacks have been the most loyal Democratic voter through the years..when white Democrats would flip flop from party to party(some of you are planning on doing that if Obama is the nominee)..that is the reason why George Bush was able to beat Gore..some of you Democrats voted for the consumer guy(can’t remember his name right now) and split the vote. Were it not for the black vote Bill Clinton would not have gotten two terms. Blacks were his biggest supporters and forgave him for his indiscretions when some of you White democrat jumped from the party and voted Republican. I am voting democrat regardless who the nominee is..be it Obama or Hillary..because I am a true Democrat. I would have to be blind,deaf or dumb to vote McCain and continue the failed policies of the Republican administration..policies based on war and low taxes for the rich. So True Democrats vote for the Democrat nominee..spineless so called democrat jump ship and vote Republican.

Tony, who are you trying to fool? You are Republican..you are not a true Democrat. McCain! what a joke. You are probably one of the people who think that the economy is great and gas is 75cents a gallon. Somebody is serving some kool aid out there is confusing some people’s minds..I am confused how people could consider McCain as an alternative..when all he would do is simply continue the Republican policies of war,war, war. Those policies are going to run the country’s economy into the ground. I love my country too much to vote for McCain.

I AM WITH YOU HILLARY TILL THE END!
PLEASE CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR US !
YOU WILL BE THE BEST PRESIDENT !
I WILL GO FOR MC CAIN IF OB is the nomenee/

Those of you who vote for McCain deserve what you get. Clinton and Obama have the SAME EXACT POLICIES, save for a minor difference or two that won’t make it through Congress anyway. This isn’t a popularity contest — you’re supposed to vote for the person who has policies that you like, with personality/other traits being the tiebreaker. It doesn’t even matter to me who becomes President — I have a nice 6-figure job, am unaffected by the recession, and have no kids in Iraq.
Go ahead and vote for McCain, and when you lose your job, lose your child, or lose your sanity with his ignorance, you won’t get any sympathy from me because you chose to take revenge rather than use your head.

Guys. Lets not get carried away. The president does NOT control the economy. This isnt a socialist state.
Obama cannot magically change the economy. But he can put controls on market forces to help it. Lets not get carried away that all our problems will be solved when Obama is president.
He cannot magically beat Al Queda. Or solve the terrible situation in Iraq.
He can start to heal the nation and move things in the right direction. Thats all we can ask.
Again. I ask the Obama supporters to stop mocking the Clinton supporters. They are highly dissapointed , and we cant bring the party together if you rub our faces in it .
We love Bill and Hillary Clinton as much as you love Obama. We need to heal the party and move on to the general election. So you can stop harassing Bill and Hillary Clinton and us Clinton supporters now.
We should all rally behind Obama. If folks are still sore, its just human nature. Give them a while to get over this ‘Im votin for Mc Cain ‘ routine.

The American People have Spoken, Hillary And Bill Please EXIT The Stage!!

Look.
For all of us Clinton supporters who SWORE we would vote for Mc Cain…..give it a while.
I know we are very dissapointed.
Yes , we cannot understand how a first term senator is the BETTER choice . I still believe Hillary is the best choice of all three of them for the presidency.
However, we have to be honest and NOT discount the fact you have to get NOMINATED to run for president.
Obama won the nomination fair and square. We may blame the media, and we can also blame the idiot Mark Penn amongst others in the Clinton campaign.
But none of it is Obamas fault. Lets not rain on his parade.
If you still feel like John Mc Cain is your man in Nov, then vote for him.
I myself dont think I will, but who knows? All I know for sure is that we need to heal the party now.
Bill and Hillary Clinton need to be put back up to their rightfull place as deeply respected members of the party .
I know Bill and HIllary will fight for Obama all the way until Nov.
I also think obama should offer Clinton a top spot in his administration and turn healthcare over to her.

I believe a survey should be done on all the Hillary democrats who plan to vote for McCain in November..you may discover that they believe that the economy is good, even great and the gas is 75 cents a gallon. We need to find who is selling the kool aid that these people and confiscate it so that they can return to a semblance of normalcy and Vote the democrat. Obama/Hillary 08 to the white house baby!

Clinton supporters, if you stay home or vote McCain, you are voting against your own economic interests. Don’t be idiotic. I know you passionately support her as she has branded her self a fighter (with $109M in net worth) and Obama as an elitist (raised by a single mother). You’re being manipulated – but even despite staying in much longer than necessary, the obvious cannot be ignored.

Take it to the floor HIll!
Counting 2.3 million democrats in FL and MI its a tie and WV and Kenn are waiting.
You beat him in his own backyard while he outspent you at times 5:1 in Indiana
He can’t win in Nov. Democrats need you to keep going!

I guess what it boils down to is: experience vs. hope.
I personally have seen enough experience. I’m 50 years old. I’ve seen candidates promise all sorts or things.
I do however feel that perhaps a candidate that hasn’t been told, ” you can’t,” just might find a way.
It won’t happen all at once, but perhaps if we as a nation allow things to change . . . . maybe the vice president could become a person who isn’t hidden in a closet but can continue what his / her president started.
Perhaps it all starts without pessimism. Perhaps the rumors can stop and the work can begin. I know for me, it begins with me. I’m going to give this young man a chance. God knows others haven’t had the foresight to hope. The hope that my generation can be the shining beacon for the world to willingly follow are almost gone.
Perhaps the next generation has it figured out. They can make a difference. They took a one term Senator and brought him to the pinnacle of politics. He has faced one of the most powerful political forces in America today and has not been found wanting. He has succeeded.
I’m not saying he has all the answers, but lets give him a chance. His willingness for good and honesty has not been tarnished by the politics of greed.
I pray that the burden of success I want for him isn’t too much for him to bear.

Tony, Staniam
My family will be doing the same thing if Clinton is not the nominee. But can she run as an independent? Anyway, I don’t think she belong to neither Republican nor Democratic Party at all. None of them is for the middle, working class. They are very far left or very far right.

I was undecided in this race until I saw the class and intelligence with which Obama responded to the overly-defensive white racist attacks on Rev. Wright. His response to ignorance of all kinds turned me into an Obama supporter. I think those folks who are calling Obama “racist” need to look very closely in the mirror. His election would truly be a hopeful sign for America.

Hillary can play an important role in an Obama administration, Hillary supporters should realize that not all power resides in the POTUS – consider the possibilities; HRC as supreme court justice, head of senate, cabinet position.
You may not like it that she won’t be the nominee, but I think that if she and her supporters unite behind Obama now she can be a significant force in this country for many years to come. Unfortunately, if she hangs on to impossible math, and her supporters remain bitter and continue ‘swearing’ to vote for McCain or not vote at all, she will fade into obscurity and worse, history will view her as a selfish divisive politician.
