Obama Reaches Pledged Delegate Majority

NOT PROUD OF BACKWOODS WV AND KENTUCKY,PROUD THAT SOME AMERICANS WANT TO TURN THE PAGE, AND TRULY MAKE AMERICA A LAND OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL !!!!!!

He doesn’t even care about the people who voted in WVa, KY, FL. and MI. I thought dems cared about ALL the votes..

Newsflash..Obama’s camp said tonight they didn’t need Clinton. They feel they can do this thing without her and the past she brings!

Blue Collar Americans reject Obama.
Obama fooled many Democrats before his radical ties with Jeremiah Wright was widely known, but his secret is out now.
I’m a long-time Democrat, but, like millions of other Democrats, there is no way I’m voting for Far Left Obama.
If Obama supporters think differently, they are only fooling themselves.

This is the right time to support Obama and give courage to HILIARY for all boldnesss she has taken. These two people can joint together to bet MC CAIN in general election, which mean HILIARY didn’t lose because her party still won the general election.

liberal,
That figure is for you and people from Obama side, not for us. We have done our homework before go to the polls.

I certainly hope the best candidate stays in this race until the convention. Senator Obama has not been honest in his campaign nor what he can and will do for our country. He care little about a large segment of the population. He is all talk and no substance or action.
Hillary, hang in there. And yes, all 50 states should have their votes counted.

Tungsten,
You are talking like Obama has won. He has not. Why can’t he ever close the deal? Why is the so-called presumptive nominee being crushed in swing states even at this late date, even when people like Edwards tries to rescue him. Obama has a problem, his 15 minutes got used up by Wright, he’s just waiting for the tsunami to hit in his wake.
=======================================
Obama and BitterGate, we shall not forget!
=======================================

SuperDelegates,
The will of the voters as shown by more people having pulled the lever for Clinton than Obama is that Hillary Clinton shall be the next President of the United States of America. Either choose Hillary now, or wait until the rules committee meets and decides in favor of Democracy when it comes to at least Florida (all names were on the ballot), then pull the lever for Hillary
========================================
Hillary ’08 or ’12, the lower the number the higher the IQ of the Democratic Party.
========================================

Obama is a hypocrite and will end up a loser. The whole MI and FL vote is a shell game played by the DNC on Obama’s behalf. First they don’t count it to create momentum for Obama, now that the numbers are in Obama’s favor they will find some crooked way to “count” MI and FL.
Regardless of whether the delegates are eventually seated or not FL&MI voters will never have a say throughout this process as their vote did not influence the elections in any way until now, unlike all the other states that voted. Each of those states’ votes influenced the perception of who’s winning and who’s losing, which in turn influenced how other states voted.
Obama = Hypocrite = Bitter = Loser

Divided we fail Democrats. If McCain wins we all lose.

You know it’s funny listening to all you Hillary supporters and your whining and crying about Obama, I read on here someone said Obama can’t close the deal, when did Hillary close the deal? what a bunch of sore losers!! You say Hillary should get all the delegate counts from the states she won, well Obama won way more and maybe he should get all of those delegates to himself and he would still be way ahead. You are pathetic, you will make up any excuse to try and get Hillary in and no wonder you support Hillary you all sound just like her, like an old worn out welcome mat. Just look where her lies and mud slinging got her! Michigan and Florida are where the candidates agreed to let them be, because they went out of line and now because Hillary is losing BIG she wants to change it, go figure, anything so Hillary can have her way.
Obama 2008

Obama remains unelectable. Democrats now know more about him and won’t vote for him in the GE

ann31,
If Obama wins then America loses.
If McCain wins, we lose some but America wins.
America always comes first, even before me or my personal interests.
Ergo VOTE FOR MCCAIN IF HILLARY IS NOT THE DEM CANDIDATE.

Catleya post: “He won OR because OR has so many young college students and young people work for high tech…”
I think He can only won from Kids who have never worked very hard for their living.

Ann31 post: “Divided we fail Democrats. If McCain wins we all lose.”
It should:”If Obama loses, Americans all win because Hillary Clinton will bring back the prosperousness for all Americans that have lost for the last 7-8 years”

Debra,
Explain this:
Why not just accept that Barack Obama won this elction fair and square and accept him as the party’s nominee? That is a direct question from me to you. Can you honestly answer that question without any campain rhetoric? Honestly, If the rules of this process was understood months in advance, and Obama wins by abiding by the rules, why is that not fair?

Hey, Davis, just congratulate him on his “win”. He deserves it!

Vickie – Didn’t Hillary bad mouth everyone that used to work with them and voted for Obama and trash them publicly? How is that not throwing them under the bus? Didn’t she consistently say that states that she didn’t win, “didn’t count”? Hois that not throwing half the country under the bus? Isn’t that throwing over half the country under the bus?
Again, I’m very curious how you differentiate the two

Debrah,
So, tell me, what reason do you have to doubt Obama’s patriotism?
(Ps. I dare you to say Rev. Wright)

Vickie,
In that entire response, you never answered any of my questions. Just dribble. SO I will ask them again….
1) WHy is McCain better than Obama but not better than Clinton for the Presidency?
2) I just want to clarify this. I have heard lots of opinions on the matter, but I want to hear yours: Explain how Obama threw his Grandmother under the bus, in your opinion.

For obama blind supporters about supreme court, haven’t you heard that obama endorsed the decision of gay marriage by CA judges?? These judges approve gay marriage and refused to accept the over 60% of Californians oppose. Judges don’t have rights to make social issues based on their feelings. IS THAT THE KIND OF PRESIDENT YOU WANT TO CHOOSE SUPREME COURT JUDGES?? And what are you scare of? President appoints Judges and House and Congress approve. There’s no reason to doubt the Dem will take over House and Congress. If you read our history, WE NEVER DO GOOD WHEN HOUSE, CONGRESS, PRESIDENCY BELONG TO ONE PARTY. OUR SYSTEM IS BASED ON BALANCE OF POWER SO WHEN IT’S OUT OF BALANCE, THIS COUNTRY IS SHAKING. THEREFORE, IF DEM CONTROL HOUSE AND CONGRESS, PRESIDENCY MUST BE REP TO BALANCE THE POWER. We have to go with how our system sets up because when we mess up with the system, everything is out of order.

Debra – I appreciate your retraction (sort of).
I will forget I read it. Thank you.

Vickie,
You are still not looking at the big picture girl… Get over Hillary, she is a loser!
Time to really get behind a candidate that will make sure you and all of your friends have the right to choose!

Write Hillary on the ballot but do not vote for the party or for Obama

I will write Hillary in, Wouldn’t vote for Obama or for McCain.

Davis…Bill Clinton won Kentucky.

Obama can not fool us with his staged charade of break up with Wright. He is still his mentor and spiritual advisor, they are still pals, they think alike, and Obama is unelectable.

Hillary is being supported by the RED WHITE & BLUE.
BLUE Collar working class WHITE Americans with RED Necks!!!

Libre,
If Obama is so unelectable, Why does he keep winning? Just a question.

Can’t reply to you..guess there are a limit to how many posts you can make..or else somebody doesn’t like it that I am still going to vote for McCain

Staniam,
Actually, you don’t know what you are talking about. The DNC, like the RNC is a private organization that can nominate whomever it pleases for president. The constitution says absolutely nothing about political parties.
I know, I have only studied and passes many constitution exams with flying colors.
Furthermore, Democrats and republicans did always have primary elections for nominations. These things were decided at the conventions through back room deals. The constitution says nothing about the rules and process in which a political party can chose its nominee. The DNC “allows” the States and voters to play a significant role in nominating its candidates, provided they follow the rules it choses to lay out. Its based largely on the choice of the people now, and the people chose Obama. Get over it. The case won’t even make it in court.

Obama has not explained why did he exchanged political favors to millionaires as Illonois state Senator in exchange for money, and why those millionaires are his fundraisers

Hannah…alot of what you say makes sense and I believe McCain has been spared for a reason (he may have even said that somewhere). I am looking forward to volunteering for him in Sept. (if Hillary is out of the race) and working to get him elected. He has an AMAZING life story, which will get out there more after the Dem battling settles down. MSNBC did a great one hour bio on him….everyone should see it.

Hannah,
I will just call you crazy..
However, it seems like you have a big future here as a Hillary bot Guru!

Why 9 lives? you sound very weird and just like the Obama cult. No Senator Clinton should be President. I wuld never vote for Obama or for McCain, if McCain wins he my be the lesser of two evils, but republicans won’t have my vote.

Nobody knows how many times he dot beaten, maybe non. Republicans are corrupt and have been bleeding the country for 8 years. I know McCain will win if Obama is the nominee, but he will win without my vote. I will write Senator Clinton on the ballot.

Mat be dumb but I want to cast my vote for Hillary Clinton.

Super delegates still have the chance to do right by Democrats, Nominate Hillary, Obama is unelectable.

I have 1 question for liberals – you seem to hate the government so much (or more so than others) but then why do you want the government for everything (like obama wants to governize and socialize more). Have you heard of the difference of Public school and Private school or even Home school??

Debra,
That’s a fair minded answer, but I disagree with you. Obama is 10 times smarter than McCain. While he does have an excellent Military service, McCain has never been one to understand the finer details of what makes things tick. I don’t mean to trash the man, but it is true that he graduated near the bottom of His class in High School and in the Navy Academy. Obama, on the other hand was President of the Harvard Law Review and has taught at the University of Chicago, one of the finest colleges in the Nation.
Furthermore, he has demonstrated that he is a quick and fast learner and a problem solver. I am not taking any credit from Senator Clinton, for she too has her list of achievements. I would have voted for her if Obama was not running. She is my number 2 choice.
As far as republicans, I think I would have preferred Romney over McCain, but that’s me. I think the President need to have the brains and the smarts to lead the nation. Bill Clinton was that man in 1992. It was the reason he was such a sucessful president. HE WAS SMART and educated. He knew how the system worked and was a fast learner for someone with limited experience prior to taking office.
Obama has shown that he can dance with the big boys and he deserves credit for that.

Just one more thing…this is for Davis from my previous post:
For obama blind supporters about supreme court, haven’t you heard that obama endorsed the decision of gay marriage by CA judges?? These judges approve gay marriage and refused to accept the over 60% of Californians oppose. Judges don’t have rights to make social issues based on their feelings. IS THAT THE KIND OF PRESIDENT YOU WANT TO CHOOSE SUPREME COURT JUDGES?? And what are you scare of? President appoints Judges and House and Congress approve.

Look at the real demographics of Obama foollowers. “the highly educated” is just a media hype.

Hannah,
First of all, Obama has never expressed any kind of dislike for babies, he has two loving children of his own. He did express his dislike for overturning Roe V. Wade, acknowleding that many teens make mistakes and should not be have to be burdened with Child care when they are not ready for parenting. You can take what you want from that, but even Hillary is Pro – Choice.
Second,
Liberals do not hate the country. They just want to change it to be more progressive and less authoritorian. Hillary Clinton was out there fighting that good fight too, at one point. She campaigned hard for George McGovern, one of the most liberal democrats to ever get the nomination. That’s right Hillary and Bill were once Bleeding Hearts and had ties to many liberal radicals of that era.

We are not going to back barack even if Hillary asks. We will write her name on the ballot and like that she will crush Obama. McCain may win, so we will wait to 2012

Hannah,
OK, as far as the Supreme Court Goes, The judges have EVERY Right to make such decisions, regardless of what the popular opinion is. The Supreme Court is one judge away from overturning Roe V Wade and that is a fact. One of those judges will likely retire within a McCain Presidency. You are right that congress will likely be controlled by democrats, but they will be forced to accept a conservative leaning Judge for the seat.
Oh, and for your balance of power argument, 7 of the 9 Judges on the Supreme Court were appointed by Republican presidents. How is that balanced? Furthermore, The President has a little something called VETO Power. With McCain as President, all those reforms like Healt Care, College, etc will get a big fat VETO from McCain. SO, no meaninful legislation would get passed. And lets face it, There will NOT be enough senators to overide a Presidential veto. I agree that we need some balance of Power, but that is how you end up with the stalemate that is going on right now. Then, no progress will be made.
I say BOOOOOOOO to that idea. We need a democrat in Office to fix this mess the republicans have made. I don;t care if its Hillary of Barack, I will work my hard out to see that Old John mac Daddy Cain does not win in November.

Gee Hannah,
Wouldn’t it be nice to go to PRISON for getting an abortion…
Something to think about, especially all of you Hillary “I am going to vote for McBush” women…..

If the superdelegates believe anything the Clintons argue, their superdelegate statuses should be revoked for incompetence.
Obama’s wins (without any distortion)
=====================================
The majority of pledged delegates.
The majority of the popular vote.
The majority of states won.
=====================================
The people of the “United” States have made our choice.
Obama ’08!

Is it me, or did Hillary Net more popular votes yesterday?

Mr. Coffee,
Let me clarify McNothing’s position for you. He won’t negotiate with “terrorists” because the people that control his puppet strings told him to say that. He personally has no opinion on this topic, as he can’t hold a train of thought that long . . . .
Does this help?

I, for one find it so hillarious how Clinton supporters, who would normally be throwing mud at the GOP, have aligned themselves with their smear machine to try to take down Obama. Clinton supporters are starting to become almost indistinguishable from the GOP slime.
Not only are they using the same smear tactics, but now they are using the same General Election arguments. THey are now arguing this nonsense about Obama being the representation of the left wing of the democratic party. All of this based on a fool hardy report by a magazine that showed Obama being the most Liberal US Senator. They ignore that Hillary Clinton ranked in the top liberals as well.
Now, we have Democrats talking about how Liberal Obama is. Ok, I ask you to convince me. Show me the issues. Prove to me that Obama is more liberal than Clinton. Prove to me that you are not simply using arguments from FreeRepublic (Republican blog site).

understand this, don’t be confused and let the media, the Clintons or any other group mislead you. Clinton has lost. The Media is just fueling this thing because many of them had no career before this election so they should be thanking both campaigns. It boils down to this, we can get united behind Obama or in four years, you can be standing in front of a house you USED to own while its being auctioned because you can’t go anywhere because you have no gas, no money because your job is in India somewhere and all you can do is say,”Damn, I can’t believe I let my stubborn, silly *%# be twisted by this process and voted for this elmer fudd looking, living of the fact that he couldn’t fly a plane, then got caught, spent years in a box and thinks that no body can challenge his view because of it idiotic attitude. Please, he wasn’t the only one in that camp and it doesn’t qualify you to run the country. Wake up or we’ll be here 4 years from now saying just that.

Your headline should read obama reaches pledged delegate majority for 48 states.
Too bad there are 50 states in the USA.
Obama does not have a majority. he is disenfranchising 2.3 million democrats without whom he cannot win in Nov.

USMC0331
If you are a long term democrat than you embrace many socialist ideas such as uniform health care. No modern government exists today that does not have strong socialist programs inherent in its policies. grow up.

My mind changed last night as I was listening to Clinton and Obama’s speeches. I saw in Clinton, a candidate with the utmost passion for the American voter…..she was polished, heartfelt, and brilliant in her speech. Obama, I got the feeling he was not being truthful, that he wants the Presidency, but he didn’t seem to have the passion as Hillary does. My wife, who is an Obama supporter, first commented on how “fake” his speech seemed, that he wasn’t sincere. When Hillary spoke, her eyes welled up with tears. She decided that she will vote for Hillary, as well as I will. If Hillary doesn’t win the nomination, we both will vote for McCain. If Hillary were to run as an Independent, she would get our vote. I see this trend continuing as of last night….Obama was not sincere, does not have the passion, drive, or desire. His promises are falling on deaf ears because there is no substance to them. He is a good man, but, he’s not Presidential.

dem in chicago:
Congratulations on winning the
nomination fair and square!
However you will “be stopped” in
November!
This country will not elect a
neophyte who would bomb our allies,
for example Pakistan and sit down
and talk to our enemies like
Iran, Venezuela, Syria, and Cuba
without preconditions!
This country will not elect a
candidate who will bankrupt the Treasury and the people with his billion dollar social programs like
Universal Healthcare and his Mortgage
bailout proposal!
We cannot afford to elect an inexperienced “intern” to be President of the United States of America!
The only “change” Obama will bring to this country as president would be the change left in your pocket after the tax increases to pay for his billion dollar programs! No Thanks!

The whole world is watching us, and watching the Clintons. Do they still plan to steal the nomination from the person who won it fair and square? Does anyone believe the lie the Clintons repeat–that she has the popular votes?
1. Hillary dicounts the votes from many caucus states where Obama won.
2. Gives herself all the votes from Michigan and he no votes, where his name did not even appear, etc.
3. Then REPEATS to her supporters that she has the popular votes, so inciting them against the up-start young(er) (Black) (male) candidate who has dared to take her entitled dynastic claim away from her (and from the older white women who have sacrificed for millenia against sexism).
She is deliberately inciting a rebellion within the party to destroy Obama’s and the Party’s chances to win in November. The hatred coming from her supporters who will vote for McCain who will give us a Supreme Court that will overthrow pro-choice, pro-women rights (see Geraldine Ferraro) is all being stirred by her. As a feminist I see how Hillary’s insane lust for power is also destroying feminism’s power and will be written in the history books as part of the decline of our beloved republic.

Well, well, well it’s good to see that the people who worked long and hard for Hillary-a remarkable person with amazing chops-are coming around to ssupport the party’s presumptive nominee. The polls show it. One of the reasons that Obama has gone fron a tie with McCain a month ago to leading by 8 points now (latest Zogby) is because the Hillary supporters are looking to the future. They know full well that McCain is not equal to the challange of the next four years. It’s somewhat similar to electing Hoover in 1932 as the Depression raged. We are on the edge as an economy, as a culture and as a political and moral force in the world. I understand that Obama’s message of hope and change-really he’s talking about a fundamentally spiritual change-is tough to swallow after so many years of deception and cynical manipulation. Well, look at the base that Obama has developed. It’s driving the GOP mad. They were so bankrupt that a somewhat addled “maverick” is the best that can push up on the stage. It’s going to be rough but Obama will win in spite of the overt and covert racism and right-wing bullies who will try anything to bring him down. No swift boating this time.
