Obama: Clinton Lead in WV, KY ‘Insurmountable’

The American voters have spoken !

Can you define, “is?”

Planet Clinton sounds like a wonderful alternate reality.
But here, in the real world, it’s Obamamania people. Get on the train.
Wooohoo!

Will he still look triumphant when he loses Kentucky by 38%?
Are Democrats so dumb that they are going to nominate an unelectable candidate again?
If they are they don’t deserve to hold the white house now or any time in the near future.

The real damm truth is they are get real

Yes, brilliant is an accurate word to describe Hillary. Even her worst enemies have to admit that. So, some loser who blogs about her not being smart…well…who cares what he thinks.
Is it not okay to say “white Americans?” But it is okay to say “black Americans.” What exactly is the problem here? Geez…

Jackie, it’s not smart for Hillary to alienate such a large portion of her constituency. Many “white Americans” support Obama, or he wouldn’t be winning. Nothing wrong with saying “white Americans” or “black Americans” to me, but making racial generalizations is hardly a brilliant political manuever, unless it is her intention to widen the growing rift in the Democratic party.

This is a gut sick description of a man who would NEVER be where he is without the help of the media cheerleaders. If he was really about unity he would have called the media on their outrageous bias long time ago so that the nominee is a legitimate nominee and not another politician who snakes his way into office. IF he becomes the nominee he can then thank the media for helping him DIVIDE the party . What an ego !
Hillary ’08

Obama is making his “triumphant march” with the complicity of the biased media. Well, if he swipes the nomination from Sen. Clinton, he will crash and burn in November and his delusional messianic power to “heal” won’t save him from this implosion. The “triumphant march” will eventually end with the Democratic Party train wreck because of his raw ambition. McCain will be president.
The Democratic nomination process calls for all states to vote and if the candidates are short in delegates for the nomination, then the superdelegates select the best experienced, qualified candidate using their independent judgment. Qualifications, not skin color or race, should be the unyielding principle, just like the rule of law. Sen. Clinton is the best experienced, qualified presidential candidate.

These two states are small states.
Hillary has already told us that small states are REALLY insignificant and meaningless and their voters don’t count.
Has something changed?
Now Hillary is saying small states are REALLY important. I can’t keep up with all her shape shifting positions.
It is like she is channeling Mitt Romney.

bblack, don’t give up on all of us, man. In my neighborhood, my precinct and my county, whites turned out in droves to support Obama 2-to-1 over Clinton. My kids drove in from college in order to caucus. It’s not because he is black or white or both, but it is his message of change and hope that excited many of us. We’re talking about race now with our friends of all colors, in bold and truthful terms. The haters on these blogs don’t represent me, my family, my friends or anyone I know. I don’t hate Hillary, I just don’t like the way she plays the game.

Hill the Bosnian General is dividing the democratic party. She is dividing the great American people between: old, blue-colors, white, latinos, women. In Hill’s world there is no black people, no young people, no native Americans, no college educated folks. All she has known in politics is “divide and rule” and that is what Obama wants to brign to an end and get America together to tackle real issues. God bless America and God bless obama. OBAMA08.

I am a proud Muslim American and I will vote for my brother Barack Hussein Obama. He is the only one capable to a peace the American Imperialism and unify the Muslims brotherhood around the world.
Ala is with Barack Hussein Obama
Yes we can 2008!!

bblack,
There is nothing 90% AA voting for Obama.. Obama should be proud of this record…
However, America is democracy and every one has the right to voice himself and the majority matters…

So Obama is giving up W. Virginia and Kentucky, ha. Of course since those states don’t have large school campuses, rich whites and large African American population. What does it say to you?
Very interesting, the DCN and Obama campaign are not only limiting FLA and Michigan and trying very very hard to nominated Obama before the process ends but also now he is not even campaigning in W.V and Kentucky, probably way to many uneducated white people, to many old women, and bitter blue collars?

There won’t be an upset thats why experts want her out

One word to describe BO:
Wimp.
Is he going to fight for your interests? He will say anything to get elected.

Obama won North Carolina by 232,700 votes, topping Clinton’s 214,000-vote margin of victory in Pennsylvania on April 22 and leaving him with a lead of more than 800,000 votes in contested primaries and caucuses.

Joe – if you discard MI and FL, as BO wants to do.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. At the same time, Hillary Clinton has a five-point lead over McCain, 48% to 43%. This is the ninth consecutive day that Clinton has outperformed Obama in the general election match-ups

I hope all the Obama voters remember who they voted for then they are forgotten by him.
Best of luck to you all
McCain for me

Still the only way she wins is if she gets all delegates from florida and mich. And lets not forget it is not barack obama that said these states shouldn’t count. It’s not his fault she had moron stratagists who can’t even read a rule book. Good article on yahoo about 5 things Hillary messed up on check it out. Maybe she can blame someone else that she is losing.

Did I say loseing I ment lost. SHE HAS LOST!!!! IT’S OVER!!!

Obama just knows he can’t win alone. She is a better candidate and is above McCain 48-41. They better get together..Time to give in Obama….

louielouie-
His campaign lawyers are the ones who have turned down all of the attempts to revote, and his campaign managers have refused to negotiate in any talks about distribution.

Louielouie… They are not his fault. Hillary just spins it to make it sound like it is. Half her insiders are to blame. Some of the people that are at fault even work on her campain.

Probably true what he says since there are not sufficient blacks in those States to throw the election his way. The Americans in West Virginia and Kentucky are your working class people who see Hillary as the party’s nominee who will solve their problems and concerns. Sorry, but that is the way of this democractic nomination process, and it is best if the party leaders and super delegates stay out of the way of the democratic voters. The party is terribly fractured without more interference.

She should stay in because she can come with in 20 del of him

I am going for Clinton all the way !!
I know a lot of people that are just like me: Loyal Democrats that will become Independents. Because quite frankly I don’t even recognize what I considered to be my party any longer. What was once the party of the content of one’s character has become the party of the color of one’s skin. And I object to this strenuously and will fight it with every fiber of my being regardless of who becomes the nominee.

More spin from the Clinton campers. Just like the delegates from MI. How does it feel now MI? Hillary sold you guys out today by not accepting the deal that MI proposed to the DNC LOL Are you guys STILL going to maintain that she is speaking for you? That SHE wants your vote to count LOL or are yu finally going to accept that YOU ONLY count if it is better for HER? Actions, as always, speak louder than words.

My father was a fighter. Sometimes he won and sometimes he lost. But when he believed in something and knew it was right he gave it everything he had. Many times it put a financial stress on our family. But my father did what he knew he must. And as he lay in bed a day before he died he was calling business associates working up a new product with them. To some in my family it seemed as if he was being foolish. Because even he knew he was dying. But to me he demonstrated a strength that I can only hope to emulate in my own life.
Some things are worth fighting for. And even when you know that the potential for certain failure is right around the corner you can’t give in. Hillary Clinton is a fighter. She fights for American issues, not just Democratic issues. So whatever happens we need to join in her fight. She is THE One !!

It just shows how fickle polls are. Not only is there a statistical error, opinions can change with every news bit, every primary, every speech. Clinton beat McCain by 3.9 and Obama beats McCain by 2.6. Statistically within error range (advantage still Clinton). When Clinton had a big head to head win, every news show (and the Clinton campaign) kept boasting about her superior electability. Now that it is close and the trend is in Obama’s favor, we don’t hear anything about. Generally speaking, I would be careful using the head-to-head as an electability argument for either candidate, given how quickly it changes. Between now and Nov, today’s numbers will become meaningless.

Anyone in W.VA or Kentucky contemplating voting for Obama needs to research the following names: Auchi, Khalidi, Ayers, and the Emir of Qatar. We all already know Wright went to Libya with Farrakhan to meet Mumar Khadafi.
Hillary is overcoming two huge obstacles the DNC CREATED. First they chastised the elected officials of FLA and MI by penalizing the voters. Second, this is the first time in history delegates were not awarded Winner Take ALL. If it was done the historical way (TAKE ALL), Hillary would have it sewn up. Here’s the problem with that…you NEED CA, NY, NJ, OH, Mass. to win as a DEM in the general election. She’s carried them all. He’s won more RED states, those which will NOT vote DEM likely in the fall. Lots of Clinton supporters won’t support him in the DEEP BLUE states listed above. Go to Wikipedia and look at an ELECTORAL COLLEGE MAP, by searching for US presidential election. There’s no chance I will vote for him…Dem for 40 years.
He’s untested, he’s a very typical Chicago-style politician despite his platform rhetoric, he has way too many very questionable islamic connections (no ‘Tony’ Rezko isn’t italian), he’s deceitful (he does take contributions from special interests and he lied about the nuclear legislation which never passed.)

It really doesn’t look good for the democrats that the heir apparent can’t win the majority of democrats in WV and KY after he has declared himself the victor.
I hope the percentages voting for Hillary keep getting bigger and bigger while Obama gets weaker and weaker.

Hillary’s husband Bill, as a former President and 100+ millionaire, tried to buy this election for his wife.
With $11 million dollars of her own money, plus an army of Bill’s pals collecting record donations…she blew it.
She was a lousy campaigner, a bad decision maker, and basically a mean spirited idiot.
She chose gal pal’s over talent. To be the incumbent, when we wanted change. To be hawkish on a war…at first trying to prove a woman could be tough, and then later, finding that with Obama’s insurmountable lead, her only ground was to go racist, and suggest a black cannot be elected.
How far she has fallen, now running around West Virginia and Kentucky, hoping some old KKK magic might revive her campaign.
Good riddens to bad rubbish.

Emily – I don’t think anyone is forcing Hillary out of the Race. People, do however, want her to act like a grown up.
She tried hard but is virtually mathmatically eliminated. This is just a fact.
Point to the Math does not make one an elitist.

The super’s are there to protect us from a nominee who can’t win in the GE but the elitist who run the show like Kennedy ,Peloai,Kerry can’t control Clinton like they can Obama and believe me when they control from the far left everybody loses.

You know, I have asked myself the same question. Why don’t we see any of his friends (other than Wright, Rezko, and Ayers)? Usually friends come out of the woodwork–Hillary has a ton of them, many of whom have been her best friends for 30 years (which to me is always a good sign as to what kind of person she is to keep all those loyal friends).

A ploy to coverage up the beating he will take in W VA ,Kentucky and
EVEN Oregon . The louder calls of counting Fl and Michigan, comes
after that. My question is when he declares victory will get STOP
campaigning? May 20 is the Kentucky Primary and another Obama defeat
coincident?

The bias in the media has been trying to squeeze Hillary out since DAY 1.
She wins Pennsylvania and they ask, “When you steppin’ down, Hillary?”
She wins Indiana and they ask, “When you steppin’ down Hillary?”
God Bless her for FIGHTING FOR THOSE AMERICANS WHO BELIEVE SHE IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE JOB!
Obama delegates have cash flowing out of their pockets due to the “ethical reformers” donations to each of them. How HYPOCRITICAL is that? WAKE UP AMERICA!

Clinton won with the Moms

I hope all of you read this.
In my forty years on this planet I have seen African Americans gravitate into many positions I will never be able to achieve. I am actually happy to see these fold get what they work for. If African Americans are qualified enough to be your Governors, Mayors, Congressman, and Senators then why in the world would an African American not be qualified to be president? This makes no sense to me. And the notion that “white america” wont vote for Obama is just ridiculous.
I hope and pray we Dems get it together or there will be another BUSH in office come January.

How convenient, and how utterly arrogant, that Senator Obama would seek to anoint himself before the Rules Committee has the opportunity to discuss enfranchising 2.5 million voters who went to the polls in Michigan and Florida. In case the Obama Campaign lost the memo, the first meeting of the Rules Committee is scheduled for May 31st — 11 days after he plans to “declare victory.”

She is the fighter America neds !!! There is no possiblity that Obama will earn enough pledged delegates, not even close, by May 20th. In fact, since Hillary Clinton will likely win West Virginia (on May 13th) and Kentucky (on May 20th) by huge double-digit margins — Barack Obama’s pledged delegate lead will have shrunk by May 20th. I just saw that Clinton has a 40 point lead in West Virginia just 5 days out to that election! Despite the mad cries this week to end things, it appears that Clinton is actually gaining momentum. Wow, a blow-out like that in West Virginia, a general-election swing state, would be devastating for Obama as he simultaneously tries to persuade the Superdelegates, and everyone else in America, that he can win enough Democratic votes in November to beat John McCain.

I’m not sure how Hillary feels when she hears about Obama’s plans to declare himself the nominee before the primary process is completed…But as a Hillary supporter, I say: TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION, BABY.
That’s what the convention is for, to select a nominee. And until the pledged and automatic delegates vote at the convention, no one is entitled to declare victory. Right, Senator Kennedy

The worst the media has done as ponder if Hillary will step down. 42% of the political media going into the last few primaries was on Rev. Wright. Barely a word about the source Bill’s tens of millions and who is he beholden to. His impeachment was not about Monica. It was about China illegially contributing to the XY Clinton campaign and then XY obstructed the investigation. Guess what? China is still giving to XY. India has given a lot to Hillary and she has given away New York jobs to India. The media has been very kind to Hillary.

What is shocking and disappointing to me is not that Hillary Clinton is staying in the race. She has every right to. and the longer the primaries go the more opportunity Obama has to become familiar to Democrats everywhere. What is shocking and disappointing is that millions of Americans, though apparently mostly uneducated, are willing to overlook the fact that her political calculation on the Iraq War has produced a holocaust with a million dead Iraqi civilians, millions more homeless or refugees, bankrupt our own Treasury, destroyed our economy, resulted in 10s of thousands of our most honorable and committed Americans being killed, dismembered, or brain injured. We all knew the game being played by the administration. Clinton’s argument that she only wanted to strengthen the President’s hand is also flawed. The first rule of gun safety is never draw your weapon unless you intend to use it. This person wants to be Commander in Chief? Of the most powerful destructive force the world has ever known, the US military? She is so insecure that she voted against a ban on land mines and cluster bombs whose targets are inevitably primarily children. She voted for the Lieberman amendment to declare the Iranian national Army a terrorist organization. In the middle of a ‘war on terror’? With Bush in the White House and Cheney craving an excuse to nuke Iran? She may get her wish yet. The firing of Admiral Fallon for questioning the wisdom of that is the clearest evidence yet that the next President will be fighting a War in three countries!! I can’t forgive her or anyone supporting her. She should go back to dodging mortar rounds in Bosnia.

It is tiring to hear how Obama is scarred of voters in Florida and Michigan. These were states that did not conform to DNC rules and the democratic party along with the candidates decided that these states would not be counted if they should go ahead with holding their primaries earlier than usual. Clinton now wants them counted because she campaigned in those states and won while others did not even campaign. She is now trying to change the rules in the middle of the game. Goes to show that she is the consummate politician.

Okay two sides to every story Nikki, What if she “steals” the nomination in a shady back room deal? you don’t think that all the people who have voted for Obama will be upset? Then if thats the case I ask you how will Hillary win if she cases off all our votes? Do you think we’ll all say Ok lets hold hands and vote for Hillary. If she does that I’m voteing repub for sure. And Hillary has already lost now I know I don’t want her to be pres she can’t even do third grade math let alone handle the whole country!

I’m not sure how Hillary feels when she hears about Obama’s plans to declare himself the nominee before the primary process is completed…But as a Hillary supporter, I say: TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION, BABY.
That’s what the convention is for, to select a nominee. And until the pledged and automatic delegates vote at the convention, no one is entitled to declare victory. Right, Senator Kennedy

Look, here’s the deal – if you and I are in a class where the passing grade is 70% and I have 68 and you have 67, we BOTH fail!! It doesn’t matter that one of us has one more point than the other. The only hope is for extra credit (superdelegates).
The rest of the race is about the SUPERS, whether we like it or not. And if she gets close enough, has the momentum and the poll numbers, it could happen.
What kind of DEMOCRATS ask someone to step down when not everyone has voted? I am – no lie – very much thinking of going Independant. This is not the party I have been loyal to for 50 years. I don’t recognize this party at all.

Bblack — if u r still blogging– please know that her choice of words were poor but she is not a racist. I dont know how long u have followed politics and the Clintons in particular. Please dont get so emotional. Likewise to all Hillary supporters …please dont get so emotional. Race relations r sensitive and we all need to be mindful of that. Blogs like these do nothing but increase the anti race sentiment and set us backwards.

dusty,
Face it, the race issue will be a dominant one in the G.E… Admit or not, Obama’s lead is based on his race…
There is no argument who will be Dems’ Nominee – It will be Obama by RULE – 99%…
There is argument whether Obama can win G.E. and who has better chance to win G.E…
My advise to you: put your country first not YOUR PARTY….

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday rejected a compromise plan to seat Michigan’s delegates to the national convention that would give 69 delegates to Clinton and 59 to Barack Obama.
So who doesn’t want votes to be counted now?

sorry it has to turn to race so often, but when one race feels another race ows them something..its rediculous..only thing we owe each other is respect…nothing else….

Obama is ahead because of small caucus states where he won by 65% to 35%. No DEM will win those states in a general election. To say that the states he has won in the primary process will deliver him victory in Nov is a total fantasy. Dean should be run out of town for presiding over such a failed process. Now I would have to say shame on Hillary for not recognizing the same strategy Obama used. Her “Big States” strategy real is what failed her. They ignored the little ones and saw very lopsided results. Nevertheless, she would do better in Nov, but I don’t think the party has it in them to nominate a strong candidate; just look at our history.

Actually, I think it is – Obama’s already split the party – four years of him running the country would drive plenty of people out of it forever. He attacks universal health care, voted for Cheney’s energy policy, defended voting for John Roberts, considers Bob Casey (anti-choice) a possibility for VP.. What Democratic values will he stand up for if it’s politically risky for him to do so? Who won’t he throw under the bus instead of standing up for them?
Apparently his people are already discouraging some progressive groups from working for him in the general, so he can disassociate himself in favor of this “new politics.” The netroots blindly support the guy who didn’t bother to vote on the MoveOn resolutions (while trashing Hillary, who stood up for them), who posted on Daily Kos defending Democrats who voted for John Roberts, who went on Fox News and cited that as an example of.. why he’d be a good president and that should tell you something about what he’d do in office. Hey, progressives.. I know he used to do nice stuff for you.. but what has he done for you lately?

Obama just knows he can’t win alone. She is a better candidate and is above McCain 48-41. They better get together..Time to give in Obama….

I am going for Clinton all the way !!
I know a lot of people that are just like me: Loyal Democrats that will become Independents. Because quite frankly I don’t even recognize what I considered to be my party any longer. What was once the party of the content of one’s character has become the party of the color of one’s skin. And I object to this strenuously and will fight it with every fiber of my being regardless of who becomes the nominee.

Wow – Obama must read my posts. I too said he would lose in Kentucky and W Va. He will win in Oregon, and I have no idea about S.D., Montana, and Idaho. Who would have thought this would go the distance.

I am a Democrat and I am not a racist. But anyone who thinks Obama can win in November, especially w/o Hillary on the ticket, is mad as a Hatter.

Oregon has 1.9% AA and will go strongly for Obama. So have numerous other states with little AA population. This discussion of race is really sad. Obama is a 21st Century candidate who appeals to 21st Century voters. Hillary is a 20th Century politician and appeals to 20th Century voters. Their policies are so similar compared to McCain, anyone who supports Hillary and would turn around and support McCain must be voting on something. What is it? Can we say Racism.

Crat3..I can’t believe a Hillary supporter accusing Obama of causing a trainwreck due to raw ambition. This is a guy who gave up Wall St to work ith the poor for almost nothing.
Hillary is the definition of raw ambition…who cares what happens to the party she says – I will do and say anything to get what I want.

Sorry to double-post, but here’s the red-blue breakdown of those states from 2004:
Red: Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Missouri, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa
Blue: Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, Hawaii, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota

This white, senior, Catholic, New Yorker says Go Barack! He will be a great president! I remember Jack Kennedy and this guy has the same magic. We have an opportunity to elect a president who will inspire the world and restore the prestige of America.

Kentucky and West Virginia have not spoken yet and Hillary should win those states. However, Obama, should show up and campaigne some. I wouldn’t spend too much money if I were him, because he’s going to need the money in a few months when he runs against John McCain.
I wonder if roles were reverse what people would be saying about Obama if he continued to run and divide the party when he had no chance of winning except to distroy the democratic party in the process. I can tell you many african americans are watching this at the local level for those local politicians that continue to support this division. People like Rep Jackson-Lee Houston is finished in her district.

And someone asked for the states Obama won with Black Populations<18%…
Washington(5.7%)
Iowa(2.79%)
Idaho(0.84%)
Utah(1.23%)
Wyoming(1.15%)
Colorado(4.74%)
Nebraska(4.82%)
Kansas(6.60%)
North Dakota(1.04%)
Minnesota(4.96%)
Missouri(12.04%)
Wisconsin(6.48%)
Illinois(15.1%)
Maine(1.02%)
Vermont(0.89%)
Connecticut(10.88%)
(16)
Over 18%-
Luoisiana(33.47%)
Maryland(30.16%)
Delaware(21.51%)
Virginia(20.65%)
DC(58.04%)
North Carolina(22.29%)
South Carolina(29.68%)
Georgia(30.29%)
Mississippi(37.24%)
Alabama(26.70%)
(10)
Split State-Texas(11.6%)
So 16.5 states he won with Black Populations under 18%. 10 with over 18%. I did not count over seas territoroies. And if he wins the remaining states that he is expected to win(Oregon, SD and Montana) you will need to add 3 more states to the under 18%. His weakest Demo is not White people as commonly believed(though White Women has been a tough one), it is Hispanics(mainly older Hispanics). The states Hillary has won with over 18% Hispanic Population-California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada. New York is plus 10%.
Obama can win White Democrats and Independents…despite what the MSM and Clinton camps want you to believe. His biggest hurdle will be older voters and in the Southwest(where McCain holds a regional advantage, don't be shocked if the VP is Bill Richardson just to address this issue). He will win California and New York. He will compete in Ohio and Pennsylvania. But he will also put states into play which Hillary can not. South Carolina. North Carolina. Virginia. Montana. Idaho. Colorado.

Obama is currently up by 1/4 of 1 percent (virtually nothing) until Tuesday when Clinton wins W. VA. She will win the actual popular vote.
As for Michigan, it was not a one candidate race. All the Democrats were on the ballot except Obama and Edwards. Both had their names removed to pacify Iowa and New Hampshire and to weaken the appearance of Clinton momentum in what was a sure win for her. He received the benefit for this, he should also have to pay the price.

CD: You are so right: Its not over until the primaries end and it would be an injustice to Hillary Clinton if they tried to force her out. She has every right to campaign in the last of the states. From what I understand she is leading win West Virginia and Kentucky and I hope she wins in Puerto Rico. There is a possibility of seating MI giving Hillary 69 delegates and Obama 59 which he should not be getting any. His name was not on the ballot and she should be getting all of them. The DNC and Dean support Obama and they don’t want Hillary to surpass him in the popular vote.

I’ve never been able to get any Obama supporter to give me a clear explaination as to why he’s the better candidate. I vote on issues, not personality. I assume you are being sarcastic with your comments on social issues. If so, why do you support Obama, who wants to privatize social security and opposes universal health care? ”
As written by “Aloof-forObama”
—————————————-
Obama does not oppose universal health care. He is just not going to force you to get it. His plan would allow you to keep your health insurance if you wish. He has also made it clear that people with pre-existing conditions would be covered in his plan. That might sound like a big deal for most healthy americans but as a father of a daughter who survived cancer, I have to always make sure that she is ALWAYS covered. If there is a lapse in her coverage I wont be able to get her insured again. So if she gets sick again we’ll have to pay for all medical costs out of her pocket.
Hillary had her crack at universal healthcare and failed misserably. Don’t you remember Hillary supporter?
She boasts about all of her 35 years of experience but exactly what has she done in 35? Please tell me because no Hillary supporter has been able to give me any examples.
The economy is going to be one of our biggest issues during the next four years. I can not make a candidate who missmanaged her campaign finances as much as Hillary did my first choice to represent me.

Let’s get something straight about Hillary, the reason why she lost the nomination is that she was and is a big liar. She thought she could do the same old shuck and jive slick Willie routine and people were still dumb enough to fall for it. Guess what, she guessed wrong and now has to pay the piper. I should say, she’s staying in it so you can pay the piper, 11.4 million dollars worth of piping that she loaned herself. Yea, that’s right, Mrs, for the working class, give you a tax holiday so you can keep twenty bucks, now want’s you to take your hard earn money and pay off her debt so she can keep the bulk of that 107 million dollars she reported as income last year. Oh, I can see why she loves you. That’s the real truth on why she is staying in the race and you will never get that from her because she is truth challanged

They are afraid of losing. They have invested their time into Obama and their egos won’t let them let go. Its not that complicated. They know what we know about Obama. As do the delegates. And it is the delegates who will make the decision and not them. That must really bother them a lot. And that explains really why they are here: they are lobbying their own egos since they know they can’t change the outcome.
Its time for the grownups to grab a hold of this puppy and propel Hillary to the nomination. End game is here.

Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter are from the same group now? That’s laughable. Ted Kennedey hated Jimmy Carter. Carter was not a “libreal”…he was a moderate, who believed in peace and social jusitice. Hillary is Libreal compared to the Bush adminsitration, and thats why Jimmy seems so “libreal” now. Jimmy Carter won the election because of the people who are “Hillary’s base” not Obama’s “base”. He didn’t win his election because of African Americans and Elitists. Obama supports real solutions to our problem. On energey he believes we need to look at everything from Solar to Ethanol to clean burning coal to nuclear. Hillary?
On Health Care his focus is on cost, Hillary’s is on forcing people to buy iit(or what?).
On Iraq “We have to be as careful getting out, as we were careless getting in”

Obama is supported by the “First Losers Club” of men who have run for the presidency and failed – Kerry, Kennedy, Dodd, Richardson, Mondale, MCGOVERN!
He is in fitting company, and he’ll fit right in at the club when he too becomes a member either this summer, or in November

Josephm – you are right when you say that Obama will be in the loser’s club in November. The GOP will be preaching black liberation theology for MONTHS prior to the general election if Obama is the nominee. When the American voters see Obama debate war hero McCain, it will be painfully obvious who the most experienced leader is and McCain will win by a landslide!! DNC GET AN ELECTABLE NOMINEE!! Howard Dean I hope you know that the clock is ticking for you – do your job or lose it!!!!

Margaret,
Unfortunately, Hillary does not pay HER own campaign bills. She has left the vendors – little people like you and me – without the money to pay their bills that Hillary has left in her wake.

Assume that he is being truthful and will not win in West Virginia and Kentucky. What does that say for him? If he is being truthful, it can only be translated that there are not enough blacks in West Virginia and Kentucky for him to win. On the other hand, it says these Americans in West Virginia and Kentucky, who are hard-working, middle class and white, do not want him as the party’s nominee. I am a Hillary democrat and am not happy how Hillary has been treated by the leadership and super delegates. He can win States with large black populations and he has won caucuses where Hillary did not challenge him, but he cannot win where it will count in November. But for me the bottom line is Hillary must be the party’s nominee for I cannot support anyone else.

This country has been divided for long enough! We as a people have finally turned a corner on racism. No presidential candidate did this, it has been the american people! I think we all know that if the media and politicians would not play the racial lines of ignorance, WE THE PEOPLE WOULD BE TRULY UNITED!!! and for the most part we are. As the vote shows plenty of so called white states voted for a black president in 08 like Alaska, Wisconsin and so on. So let the racism rest and elect someone would has the fortitude to affect the kind of change WE THE PEOPLE DESERVE!!!!
Obama 08

Where to start. I’m not sure Obama or any of his handlers are concerned about having a very solid double digit lead in delegates,
(Correction, I meant tripple digit lead in delegates)

My honest opinion is to screw the SCOTUS. If Democrats really want it, they’ll do what’s right, instead of acting like a bunch of teen agers following the latest American Idol. I refuse to cede the political ground to such shallow interests, but if they insist on trashing the lawn, they’ll find their necessary coalition in pieces. I’ll vote “present” by voting down-ticket only. I wouldn’t even do that, except we have a damn fine female Democratic candidate for Governor this year.

I, for one, don’t think there’s a downside to the electability issue. The fact that Obama would be the nominee is enough of an historic precedent to change politics as we know it. If he loses, so what? It’s not like McCain is a madman or an idiot. He’s not even a conservative. President Obama would make history. President McCain wouldn’t be the end of the world. That’s how I see it, anyway.

Bishop – I will wait and see – your dream is not going to happen. Simple fact.

Bishop – Senator Obama will not win every state – that is not a reality. He will win the last four primaries.
“The potential of a do-over is slim to none,” [referring to MI and Fl] said Wasserman Schultz, a national co-chair of Clinton’s campaign. “The cost of a do-over is beyond reach. A do-over would be unfair. We still have nerves that are very raw from the 2000 recount in Florida.”
Senator Obama has picked up 7 superdelegates since Monday to Hillary’s 2. He won by 16% in NC to her 1.11% win in IN. He has won more states, more popular votes, more pledged delegates, more endorsements from Govenors, Reps and Senators. Even the governor from AZ supports Senator Obama and it looks like diane feinstein may be havong second thoughts about supporting Hillary.
The fact is Hillary needs 90% of the remaining votes to TIE Obama. Even McCain, who is the presumptive nominee for the GOP, is only getting 75% of the votes in primaries since he became the presumptive nominee.
Cold fact, Bishop, cold fact.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT? SURELY YOU JEST!!
Hillary has two ex DNC chairs working for her, an exPresident fighting her battle for her, and most of the democratic state campaign machinery behind her.
…can you imagine if she had to stand on her own. They get double the free publicity…I see Bill’s face on the Tv as much as Hillary’s… they get double the headlines as Obama…more positive media coverage and she is still losing…even with decades of practice at the old poltical games…
All the while obama is fighting off the four of them…Hillary, Bill, Mccain and the media. Obama withstood it all and showed his superiority from day one.And continues to pull away,making her more desperate daily.
Anyone who thinks Hillary is the fighter isn’t really watching. With all the guys fighting for her…she has lost,and in her stronghold too!!!with the wind at her back….The clinton legacy hasn’t helped her,the powerful connections,the years of so called experience,the overwhelming odds she started with,have all been easily erroded by the “inexperienced” senator, who is actually coasting and running rings around her.Obama catches the missiles she hurls at him,smiles ,and hardly even bothers to throw them back.Her campaign is clueless as to how to counter him.The appropriate questions should be:Why is she unable to put him away? Why has she lost so many states by 20+% margins,and only barely won the few by single digits?.Why has her campaign failed,financially,organisationally,and stragetically,and why can’t she appeal to the future pollitical generation(young people),the educated masses,and independents.?And most importantly for the party’s success,..Why has she lost the black ethnic vote?.Take this in context with her lack of trustworthiness,corrupt practices,negativity,and willingness to destroy the party for selfish gain.And ask yourselves,what would happen when the republicans unleash their ammo on her.I dare say,her history has supplied them with ammo of a nuclear scale.Questions about Barack pales in comparison,therefore this plus his stand on the war alone,makes him a much stronger candidate.YES WE CAN!!!!

Obama isn’t fighting he has had the whole Kennedy clan behind him and ophra the richest woman in the world.

PJ That train didnt pull in to alot of states and 50% of Indiana voters that voted for Clinton said they would not vote for Obama, almost 45% in Pa said the same thing sounds like that train maybe broken,we’ll have to see in the general wont we

I think Hillary’s looking to be VP. Of course Bill would need a position.

Actually, he dosen’t need her to win the big states in the general election, most dems win them regardless i.e. John Kerry and Al Gore. Winning the small states is what’s difficult and he’s got that in the bag!

If Clinton is out I’ll vote McCain. Dems don’t need to control everything anyway. That’s the mistake we made with Bush. I’m not interested in OBAMA.

Violet – if you want to get mad at somebody get mad at your legislators, govenor, FL Democratic party and the party rules committee – rules helped pounded out by your sweetheart’s sidekick. The rules were broken – get over it.

We learn 2 things about Obama
1) he is a quitter
2) he doesn’t care about states unless they have a lot of black people.

If they put Hillary Clinton on the Democratic ticket, that means that the Democrats are following the same old politics of the past. If thats the case, I am going to vote for McCain. We must end the twenty years of Clinton-Bush oligarchs.

emily-great post.

Michelle – you nailed it. Seems Hillary’s supporters forget about the the garbage she carries or do not care to recognize it. Good for you! :)

Then you missed Senator Obama’s interview with Wolf Blitzer today – the same Wolf who has given Hillary all of his support. Good stuff in that interview – Senator Obama laid out many of his plans and views. Too bad you missed it.
And do not preach to me about bullets, guns, or rifles. I am very famliar with bullets – I have plenty in my gun case.
AND, just to repeat something you do not seem to understand – there were no bullets to duck when Hillary and Chelsea were in Bosnia. THAT is the point that you seem to prefer to ignore.

If Clinton is not the nominee I will vote for McCain. It has nothing to do with Clinton losing but the fact that Obama has no proven experience. He tried to say that he stood up to the nuclear industry but he actually caved in to them. McCain on the other hand is a proven leader and a war hero to boot.

“The American voters have spoken” is the gleeful chant. Those that think they screwed up electing GWB; put this guy in the White House and it will probably be much worse for America in a much shorter time. As far as his recent visit to the House of Representative, those that pander to him by calling him ‘Mr. President’ before he has even clinched the Democratic nomination is sickening and about all we can expect from ‘influence seeking politicians’. Oprahma slices baloney well, that’s it. He will tell you anything you need and want to hear; for now. What do you expect him to do if elected, provide free gasoline for life and an immediate end to wars all over the globe? Yeah, he’s a real magician, all right. Where did I put that darned rabbit hole?

Hillary went to North Carolina knowing that 92% of over one third of black votes are against her. She is courageous and takes the bull by horns. This is the character who never gives up working for you.
Now OBAMA is playing on the REPUBLIC PLAYBOOK AGAIN. He has done nothing but negative ever since Pennsylvania primariy.
OBAMA is a duck, a coward trying to win not by crossing the finish line. A despicable group chanting:
For the party, of the party and by the party; even millions of voters are disenfranchised. (COMMUNIST APPROACH)
There should be a revote if they want to change the results. It’s time a party should be:
For the people, of the people, and by the people.

Here we are still. Reverse discrimination. It’s ok for Obama to say he gets the black vote and Clinton gets the white vote. So all she did was say the same thing he did, the same thing the pollsters have been saying and the Obamamedia is all over her ‘racist’ remark. For crying out loud people, he said it too! The media is the culprit in all of this. They need to report the news fairly, clearly and completely. Get out from under Obama’s spell and report like you should. Leave racism out of this and report the news we need to know to make an intelligent decision based on the candidates credentials not the color of their skin. I don’t care what color you are, I only care about how you are going to help this country. The media needs to report that and only that. The media is winding us up,watching us bicker and laughing at our commotion.

With all the hysterics I am reading on this blog is EXACTLY the reason why the Superdelegates need to get off the fence, make a choice, and move on to the REAL goal (in case you all forgot) getting a Democrat in the White House.

SANDY-She is not pulling a race card she is stating the bloody fact. The percentage of racial votes speaks for itself Sandy. You don’t have waste your brain cells to do the math; everyone did that already for you.

No Sandy Math does not lie. 2%Black-Clinton…..91%Black-Obama.

This Obama is surely arrogant and cocky – to an extent that I can’t stand him at all – well I probably would IF he were 65 years old with enough to brag about. But at this point my vote goes to McCain and I don’t care what he has to offer politically. He should and could’ve easily waited for the max another 8 years before running for president, but he jumped in and spoiled probably the only chance that Hillary has and deserves to have. So long, Obama, min. 4 years of McCain admin is fine with me – you are all human beings. Jesus would make fundamental differences, but too bad Obama isn’t Jesus, not even a saint even though he may often feels he is one.

Dem4 I don’t recall any polls where someone voted for Obama because their spouse was black. Maybe you could give me the exact site that you are referring to you. I’d like to read it.

Thanks IC, I am just trying to keep it real on here and inject some sanity. I will have to say though that this race is still up for grabs. What worries me the most is that many Americans for some reason believe that this election will bring an end to our problems. We as a country are making a huge mistake if that is so. It is up to every single one of us to make responsible decisions in order to make changes NOW, relying on our next administration to start fixing our problems is completely devoid of any real want or commitment for change.

Sandy-after they announce who will be in the GE for nomination it takes time to get to the ACTUAL ELECTION DAY!!!!!!!

LOL Sandy, I can’t believe that people really think that McCain will win against any dem. There are a lot of Obamacans out there. People are so sick of the republican white house.

Lisa-why are you trying to drain me out on things that are true darling? Media spoke loud and clear about all of this; you forgot the Obama girl????

No. I am Albanian-American remember?? My name is not John obviously.

LOL what did Obama girl do now. You still didn’t tell me the site about black spouses and teenage crushes. You know you’re making it up. That’s ok we have our differences. We can at least be nice about it though.

No you weren’t Sandy-let me refresh your memory:”Funny John or NEXT – you have pulled the same stunt before – you cannot debate so you turn to stealing names”

Aren’t you doing the same thing though Lisa?

You know Dems4, if Hillary’s last name wasn’t Clinton she would have never been in this race. And yes I will vote for a dem no matter what. Hillary was always considered the front runner. I’m glad I have an choice now. Truth be told I am really tired of the Bush, Clinton dynasties.

Jumping ship may be for other reasons rather than your assumptions.

fffffff, they are dems and have the same policies. I chose not to vote for the dynasty.

Ok then stop attacking and belittling our posts then. Just because we give the facts here it doesn’t mean you have to hate us for it. ;)

I have lost all respect for the Democratic party to be quite frank.

I am back SANDY =)
Marlon and I have his gut feeling that is the reason why you are voting for Obama. =)

Hold on Sandy let me readdress. Marlon is voting for his lips rather than his stand on issues. This is one example of how sloppy the voting has been done.

Let’s just ignore marlon, no one address him. He is feeding off attention.

night fffffffff, sweet dreams.

West Virginia only offers 28 delegates, and Kentucky, 51. Obama has 1858 total delegates to Clinton’s 1698 with only 167 more needed from pledged or super delegates. If Clinton had big wins in West Virginia and Kentucky and won by 60% in each, she’d still only have at best, 47 more delegates and Obama 32. She still can’t touch him! The only way she can win is if the super delegates just give it to her regardless of the votes of the people.

Yo Obama Supporters:
====================
You call yourselves democrats????
How can you declare a winner BEFORE all states and votes are counted – this includes Florida and Michigan? who are also part of the deal?
People will NOT be voting for Chicago style politics who decide by themselves the outcome of elections without counting votes!!!
How dare you!!!!

Obama people, you have dissed old people, people with no college degrees, and white people voting for Hillary. There is not very many more people left. Love how Obama has united us all. And if race is the factor, I don’t see it being on the white side. Consider how many whites are voting for Obamba as opposed to how many blacks are voting for Hillary. Just because someone determines that Hillary will be their candidate doesn’t make them a racist. I would love to see a black American be president. I would love to see a woman become president. Let’s not put an incompetent president in just because they are of the same race or gender, Also, I would love to see the first black president be the descendant of black slaves in America.

For those saying lets all united. NO, under no circumstance will I vote for Obama. It’s Hillary or McCain. Obama has lost my trust. No, I am not a bitter, typical white person Mr.Obama I’m a middle aged African American. Obama is a snobbish out of touch politician that earned my vote in GA in the primaries, a sheep in wolves clothing he is. He’ll never get my vote in November, my eyes are wide open now, you will lose in November if you are the nominee Mr. Obama.

Hillary thinks WV and KY aren’t important. Okay. When the time comes to vote in my state, I’ll vote for the candidate who DOES think I’m important – the candidate who KNOWS we’ve lost our jobs and our homes and that Bill Clinton started the whole process of outsourcing our jobs, and yes, we’re angry about it. And bitter about it. And of course we turn to God when we’ve done all we can and have to leave the rest in His Hands. Obama knows this – but that doesn’t make him an elitist. Clinton, who wouldn’t know hunger if it hit her in the head, is the elitist. Sure, Obama went to an Ivy League school, but he did it on scholarships, not on his mommy and daddy’s dime.

Those Hillary supporters remind to the Bush lemmings: No matter how bad her policy is those simple minded people will follow her over the cliff.

For those who complain about Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. I have never voted a bush in. And I vote every election. Do you ? Have you ?

Obama seems okay however aligning himself with the Kennedy’s or likening himself to JFK scare. Truth, JFK cheated on his wife, questionable business affairs, and only got involved into civil rights when he was forced. AH how easily the American people is manipulated. Obama promises, Clinton promises, McCain promises and really it will come down to who can present the best lie and the prettiest package. Really, people think back what President has really done what they promised. I feel for the young people voting and believing that Obama will be their savior. I am voting for the Clinton, at least I know what to expect.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS FOR OBAMA!
Hey guys- we’re switching over to help UNITE the Party!

It’s EXTREMELY unlikely that Hillary will win. Barack has it sealed he just hasn’t mailed it in. The “dream” ticket won’t work out. Edwards is a much better balance and McCain is a Hero but he wants to send more Heroes to Iraq for a very long time. He is not Right. BARACK ALL THE WAY!!!

Obama-Biden – That is an energy-filled ticket w/experience and new ideas without the pandering/negativity. Negativity is bad for America. Do you want to watch the world move on without us? Biden like Obama moves things forward by saying what he thinks.

Clinton and her husband continue to demonstrate they are divisive liars, extreme egotists, and spoiled whiners with little to offer to this country. She formiable and determined in pursuing what she thinks is her entitlement, but over and over again she proves to be out of touch with reality and an incompetent possessed of low ethics and vulgar character.
She and her husband deserve each other.

I live in Kentucky. Bluntly, Obama will never win in this state. Do you really want Clinton to pull out of this race now; leaving Obama to run against no one; and then get slaughtered in the elections by huge numbers? That would just underscore his problem with white voters.

Its so tiring hearing about the economic prosperity of the Clinton years. Does any one remember the dot com boom and what happened when it went bust. sheeesh … meanwhile between NAFTA and trade deals with China this “fighter for the people” and her husband were sending all of the American jobs out of the country.
Obama/Sebeluis ticket will separate the racist dems from the one who really vote their interest. 60 year old Kathleen Sebeluis – current governor of Red State Kansas (whose father was a two time governor of Swing State Ohio) is a Roman Catholic moderate Democrat. This would be the best ticket for the democrats in the Fall. Then finally all of this Clinton is a fighter garbage can be thrown in the waste bin where it belongs. Yes I’d like to see a woman president – just not THIS woman.
