Obama’s New Focus: ‘Win in November’

“VOTE FOR CHANGE” starts today!
The Obama campaign will be registering MILLIONS for the Fall election. It could impact the electoral map.

Uncommitted Democratic superdelegates in Congress overwhelmingly say they won’t necessarily back the presidential candidate who wins the most primary delegates. Instead, electability will be very important in their
decision.
Of 42 lawmakers interviewed by The Hill, only four said they regarded the primary vote as decisive.

The more I hear from Sen. Obama, the more I can’t stand him. He is so phony, I can’t understand why people can’t see right through him. Obama is the one who seems to think he is “entitled” to this nomination, he hasn’t even begun to scratch the surface on what he needs to know on issues yet, so I can’t imagine what makes him think he is ready to run this country. For crying out loud, he doesn’t even know how many states in the union! Hillary should run as an independent….she would beat Obama and McCain.

An article I read on MSNBC stated majority of the Uncommitted SDs will endorse Obama. However, a good majority are waiting for the final primary June 3 to make it public.
The article stated, these uncommitted SDs have told both camps of their stance.
That’s the reason Obama has moved along to the November election. He knows he will have enough SDs to win the nomination.

Twentieth – I stand corrected

The more I research Obama and his stand on the issues the more I like him. He is honest. He has a very good grasp on the problems facing the United States and has solutions to carry the country forward. I now plan to attend the next Obama political event.

92% Black??? Hmmmm……….
Even if it was true does that mean we should discount those votes?

If all of the Obama supporters were 92% African American, he wouldn’t be the Democratic nominee
Lets not forget this nation is only 13% AA

Wondering if Obama is taking into consideration that most of the crossover voting by republicans will not be voting for him in the general elaction.

If the primaries are truly over, it is imperative to begin the write-in campaign for Hillary as an Independent. She will beat them both. Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry advising Democrats is RICH. Here are two people the country said, “Thanks, but, no thanks.” But now they have you. See now if you say I don’t want that candidate; that candidate is too liberal for me, now they get to call it racism. When we said no thanks to Mondale, Dukakis, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, we got to say no because they were not right for the job. Obama’s not right for the job, either.

I can tell you this much if Obama is the leading man in the November primaries I will vote REPUBLICAN instead of Domocratic and support JOHN McCAIN! and this is why. I dont trust the man and I see him as a big phony individual with no experience what so ever. I have supported the CLINTONS for many years and I still do. But if Hillary doesnt make it to the November ballot I CAN GUANARTEE YOU THAT I AM VOTING REPUBLIC INSTEAD OF DOMOCRATIC! And thats the buttom line because a CLINTON SUPPORTER SAID SO!!!

Scoreboard:
2025 needed to win
Obama’s state wins 32 plus (*) lost 16, Delegate count 1863 +/-.
Clinton’s state wins 16 lost 32,
Delegate count 1693 +/-.
(*) Territories
Campaign War Chest:
Obama $50m or more
Clinton ($25m) in debt and looking for a exit Strategy
Obama all the way!

I’m simply stating the truth…
Controversies in which the Republicans will exploit if it were Hillary as the Democratic nominee
B/c of her baggage, I pray Obama offers the VP slot to another

I agree with you, libre. I would not vote Obama, even if he was the ONLY candidate running!
Jesse Ventura ’08!

Hillary will win in West Virginia because Obama is out of touch with the people in West Virginia. They do not understand about the chosen one.

Obama is arrogant and believes he is the winner but he has not won yet.

Come November all of the “Nye Sayers” will come together for the good of the “Party”.

Obama will lose. Give up now or get ready for McCain to be the next President. Obama is a pipe dream. Like someone else said, it seems like the Dems want to lose so they are flocking to Obama in self destruction.

I dont understand why so much hatered for Obama. He has won this nomination because people voted for him over Hillary. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Hillary cannot win without the black vote, Obama cant win without the blue collar vote and Deomcrats cant win unless we are UNITED! Get over it….we all thought Hillary’s time had come, the first female president–but the majority of voters thought otherwise. Obama did not do it, voters did! Get over it!!!

Clinton Democrats,
Tell your friends to switch to McCain. After all, McCain is closer to Clinton than what the Obamites want. They are both centrists. Lets elect McCain for President so Clinton would come blazing by 2012.
Lets Unite! McCain ’08 and Clinton ’12.

The Democrat Party with Howard Dean , the Jelly Bean Man doesn’t care about voters that vote for Hillary.

I am a Democrat who will definitely vote for McCain in the GE if Obama is the nominee. Besides all of his associations and personally admitted “boneheaded” moves already in the public domain, he now says that he will declare himself Messiah on May 20th before my state even gets to vote. He confidently states that he doesn’t care about my vote, so he simply won’t get it. Also, I need a president who knows how many states there are in the Union. Do the other 7 he has visited and the 1 he is going to (which we know are not Alaska or Hawaii – he said so) perhaps Pakistan, Iran, Myanmar, Indonesia, and the like? Those states who are such friendly powerhouses in our Union?

If Obama drops out the Obama supporters want vote for Hillary.

Next week Obama will receive many more Super-Delegates endorsements to add to his totals.

Hillary Democrats for the first Woman President of the United States of America. Hillary receives support from Small-Town America, from rural America, from big City America, from the Big States necessary to be successful in November such as California, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Massachusetts and on and on. We now look forward to West Virginia and Kentucky. Send a message loud and clear to the party leaders, the super delegates, and the one annointed by Teddy. And, Hillary Democrats look forward to November.

The race is over for “Hillary Clinton” it will start to sink-in for the none believers.

Obama supporters would come together and vote for Hillary if she makes the chosen one her spiritual advisor, a new cabinet post.

The country is why I would vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee.

Next week Obama will receive many more Super-Delegates endorsements to add to his totals.

The Superdelegates can change thier support in a flash. This means nothing. Obama has not won this nomination yet.

Tonight please take the time to look up the new states that Obama allegedly has been to… Apparently, we have 7 more states….

obama, that is spin not pivot, and you are good at that, more goody goody speechs with nothing in them, give us a break, you are not going to win because the TWP is not going to vote for the TBP.

um no…i will not vote for Obama because of your false threats about abortion rights being overturned. McCain is actually pro-choice and always has been. He’s just pretending to be anti-abortion to make the 30% religious nuts of the Repubs happy until he gets elected. If Hillary doesn’t get the nomination, I will still not vote for Obama and I have no fear of abortion rights being overturned.

We all know that the republicons are desperate and will resort to the only thing that works for them … personal slanders. I think that Obama’s instinctive approach will be to attempt to rise above the republcicon slanders. He will give gentle spankings to the republicons who become a bit too rabid in their personal attacks. Then, he will make it clear that this mentality among our politicians is what has weakened America. Finally, he will re-direct the republicons’ childish behavior back to the issues and point out key policy differences that Americans care about.
But that’s not to say that it won’t be discussed by the media, as we all do seem to love our salacious material. I’d like to hear more about McCain’s connection to and support for pastor Hagee, as I find pastor Hagee extremely distasteful and wrong-headed. I’d like to hear more about McCain’s wife’s tax records and about her liqour baron family. Where is The Enquirer when you need it? I’d also like to know if McCain biographers’ allegations are that McCain serially cheated on his first wife repeatedly for eight years upon being let go, culminating in the marriage of a soon-to-be liqour baroness one month after dumping his first wife who waited for him while he was POW. But I don’t want to hear about McCain’s personal scandals from Barak Obama. I want Barak to be able to focus on the issues that really matter for this country … jobs, economy, bringing the troops home, restoring america’s reputation and the credibility of its government, overcoming our addiction to oil, saving the environment, fighting disease, and on and on.
This brings me to my last point … For me, a President should have an interest in an endless variety of subjects. They should enjoy getting up to speed on as many topics as they can. After all, as President, they’re going to be making fundamental decisions affecting all of these topics and more.
I was amazed to hear McCain say that he doesn’t know much about the economy. I’ve been even more amazed to find out what all he truly doesn’t know about the economy. The man is 72 years old, has been a key political figure for decades, and yet has somehow managed to never take enough of an interest in the economy to be able to coherently talk about it. With so many decisions on so many areas that our President will have to make, it would be complete foolishness to expect someone with McCain’s demonstrated lack of interest in fundamental issues to keep up with what should be the hardest job on the planet.

Obama will not talk about West Virginia or Kentucky. This is unusual because Obama is bragging about how much he is going to win by in most states. This is very strange indeed.

John McCain best days are behind him and the “rocking chair” is waiting on him.
Obama all the way!

hesingswithfrogs made some very good points in his comment. I have also wondered how McCain could be a senator for so long without understanding how the economy works. How could he vote correctly on the many bills that influence the economy without a good grasp of the subject? Maybe we need a mandatory test that anyone who is running for a political position must pass to continue on. The economy and budgeting could be two of the main topics! (Would Hillary do okay on economics if she was all for the gas tax holiday despite the experts saying it was a bad idea for consumers?)
I am looking forward to watching Obama redirecting the focus of the fall campaign back to the issues that matter to all us ordinary Americans.

Any Democrat who would vote for McCain over a Democratic nominee just because it’s not the Democrat they wanted is not a Democrat.
As for Obama turning his guns on McCain, why not? The Democrats have to stop fighting eachother. Clinton needs to do the same. This fight is supposed to be about who can beat Bus…McCain in November, so why not have a look at that fight early to choose a winner.
At the end of the day, we need a Democrat in the White House. If you think McCain isn’t just another Republican, 4 more years of GWB you’re kidding yourself. He’s exactly like Cameron in the UK: billed as moderate, centrist…Really dyed-in-the-wool right wing.

The gas tax holiday would save 18 cents which is what the tax is per gallon. It would remain stable for awhile and drop slowly. This a big savings for working people that drive long distances to work and truckers and anyone that drives long distances, even if only for a short period of time. Hillary has long term plans too which are much more detailed than Obama’s.

I won’t for Obama unless Clinton is on his ticket. McCain, you had better hope the oil companies front you some serious air-time because we won’t be fooled twice (Rove was never that bright – he didn’t trick my vote).

Either McCain or Obama as President are a win-win for me. I am a super high income kind of guy and if McCain wins, I seriously win big time, because I won’t get taxed to death by populist democrats! If on the other hand, Obama wins, I’ll pay through the nose and have my money redistributed to everyone else that is less fortunate than I am, but at least the country will hopefully end up in better shape- an improved image around the world, health care for everyone, jump start for the economy, and actually get out of the Iraq War! The latter is really why I favor Obama in the national election, even though I have been a life long Republican. My friends think I’m crazy, but sometimes you have to do the right thing for the country, even if it kills you in your wallet. Virtually no one agrees with me, so I guess McCain will be the man this fall, especially with all the Hillary Dems defecting to the Republican/Rush side.

Superdelegates can change thier vote on a dime.

McCain = centrist, experienced, hero
Obama = socialist, black reparations, zero
Who do you think the center of this country will gravitate to? :)

Travis
In november activists and delegates
like you,they don’t have any control
of the agenda.
Only the votes and the”electaral college” will determine the outcome of the elections.
Obama lost all the big states with the
majority of the electoral votes.
Obama’s changes to win is zero.
Do the math.
Oh! study the “electoral college”
Resently Gore and Kerry lost because of
the magic number of 270 electoral
votes.
JOHN McCAIN ’08.

Elections do not guarantee the selection of the most qualified person. Bush-Gore is a perfect example, but you had to wait for 8 years to figure that out.
BO-HRC is a more obvious example, and you do not even need to wait until the election is over.

The damage is done quite frankly. Democrats are just too full of hatred right now to come together. Hilary supporters won’t vote for Obama if he’s the only guy left on Earth, and Obama supporters think Hillary has unfairly attacked their candidate and dragged him through the gutter, so that now he is unelectable. Racial attacks and fears congest the blogs. Not only that but everyone is threatening to vote for McCain now if their candidate loses the nomination. Remember when Ann Coulter threatened to vote and campaign for Hillary if McCain was elected? She unapologetically did not. Just how do the democrats ever work things out and come together in time for the national election? It seems too late for the healing to happen in my opinion, and it’s probably only going to get progressively worse over the next several weeks. This is sad, even from my Republican viewpoint, because I was ready to become an Obamacan.

Here is why Obama would be a goner in November:
Background: Grassroots Republicans can barely stand McCain’s stench. They will come out to vote in November only if he is running against a severe leftie, like Obama. Also, the Republic fundraising machine will not get going unless McCain runs against somebody the Right believes to be dangerous to the country — which is what they believe Obama to be.
The match-ups: Hillary versus McCain: She will be aided by Hollywood and the old media. Her image will be resurrected (in about three days) and she will win by about four points.
Obama versus McCain: In this scenario, McCain *will* be able to get out the vote of middle American, and he will easily win. Expect him to be out spent severely, but still be able to tap into the inherent electoral reality.

I’m a blue collar Democrat, but there is no way that I’m voting for Obama.
Say what every you want, buy if Obama becomes the Democratic presidential nominee, millions of blue collar Democrats will vote for McCain in November.

Jay – in your reading did you happen to come across the transcipt of his interview where he stated clearly, and in no uncertain terms, that he would kill our US military when he pulls them out arbitrarily and without strategic plans in place against the advise of the top boots on the ground? You are saying that you are impressed that he is going to kill mine, so that they can be incinerated in a pet crematory after they are taken to the facility from Dover without a flag over their very coffins? And that I should rejoice when I get a Siamese or an alley cat, a Manchester Terrer or a mongrel to put on my mantle? Or was he just lying about that and he really does have outstanding plans to remove the military without massive deaths at the hands of the enemy. Either way, I’m impressed. NOT!

What do you call a “movement” that only has 50% of the popular votes. I think you call it a “farce”.

A vote for Obama is a vote for Wright!!!!!!!!!!
McCain 2008…A true Americian

Barack & Michelle Obama have shown nothing but disrespect for this country and the American people both democrat and republican will never support Obama. It really has nothing to do with Clinton but everything to do with the hate filled Obamas.

How can the race be finished until all the states have voted, it seems to me as taxpayers and registered voters our voice and votes should be counted before the race is finished. Our state has not voted and it tics me off that the media is reporting that Hillary should throw in the towel. The race isn’t over until every body has voted. I believe that she is the one to stand up and beat John Mccain, Obama needs a little more experience under his belt before he tries to run our country. Running a country is little bit different than being a senator from Ill. Wake up America.

No one has any constructive ideas on how to heal the democratic party now? Most of the democrats on this blog now seem to be on the McCain train, but this doesn’t seem like it will help turn our country around. 8 more years of the same old stuff- really?

I guess it is too late for conciliation and unity. what a turn around for the energized Democratic party in just a few short months. Remember the palpable excitment at the debate in California. It looked like the democrats were going to kill the republicans in the national election. Something horrible has happened to democrats- not the candidates. Ever read the book, Lord of the Flies? This election has brought out the absolute worst in all of us. Not unexpected given the first race between a black or first woman candidate for president. What is curious, is if the electorate is really this divided or this just reflects the sometimes hyper-intense blogosphere bubble. Why do the superdelegates, the party insiders, and Clinton friends, feel so differently about this, swinging heavily towards Obama?

How many of us Clinton Dems are leaving the Party and going for McCain if Hillary does not get the nomination?

lea – BM and Fox interviews.

Nice going LEA…what a way to alienate half of the party that you support. Why don’t you just give them all McCain buttons and show them where his campaign headquarters are in all of the states?

Lookup, GET REAL. FL & MI SCREWED UP. They broke the rules and were punished. Like a spoiled child hopefully both states have learned their lesson. Maybe they can get it right in the fall for the general election. Obama 2008!

You are either with change or against us.
We choose to “relight the beacon”…

Hope- great post. But, you must remember that he does not care about WV or KY, MI or FL. What about poor MT and my SD? Heck, he has 7 other states that he has already visited over the 50 legally in the Union that are not AK or HA, with one left to go – and we do not count. He stood in a room filled with NAs today in Bend, one of the largest Nations, and mentioned us behind hispanics and asians.

A, Obama doesn’t need defending unlike the other candidates running. My guess is you are one of the ones that voted for the bush-league twice. If there were justice these people should have to sit this one out because you need to have the judgement of at least a ten year-old to cast a ballot. Obama 2008!

The DNC must let the votes from Florida stand and cannot disenfranchise Michigan voters. Democrats have cried for years because of the trickery that Bush and Rove used in 2000, we will be nothing but hypocrits if this continues. If Obama is going to win, let him win fair and square, with all the votes counted. That is all Hillary wants…there is nothing illegal about that. Democrats everywhere should be outraged that republican legislatures in both states are allowed to basically taint the Democratic primary. Hillary knows that if we have a nominee who does not honor those votes, those states will NOT vote for a democrat in the general. Obama supporters everywhere need to support the decision to get Florida and Michigan counted—he will be considered a fraud and the GOP will never let this fact rest. It is not just Hillary supporters who need Florida and Michigan, Obama does too.

I agree HOPE…2000 was a nightmare for the Democrats. I was glued to the news for the longest time. I just do not understand why the DNC continues to do things the way they do.
It will change, they are already in the process of doing something about it…for future elections anyway.
I just wish we could shorten the process. It seems unfair that some states have more of a say and a lot of it has to do with the media coverage.

Hillary is…the PROVEN leader, with the BEST plans for America’s future…the BEST choice for President. This is not a popularity contest, this is about our future…DON’T roll the dice…Hillary 08! Obama and Democrats can’t survive the shadow of not counting Florida and Michigan…Tell the DNC all votes matter…and we want the nominee who wins fair and square. if that is Obama, so be it, but if it isn’t then it is not fair to MILLIONS of Americans!

Raleigh, you tell me that on May 20, two weeks before I get to cast my vote. When I see the alphabets, the msm, the cables and sats say “it’s a done deal, now”. I know I am B) uneducated and dumb. Because I used to have an addie on the res… Someone here told me that tonight in no uncertain terms. Thanks, anyway. We know everything about dreams. Wanna buy a Dream Catcher? I’ll give you discount… because you seem to be nice and recognitive.

jock…do you not remember 1980? It was not THAT long ago. Kennedy was behind a heck of a lot more than Clinton and he took it all the way to the convention.
I do remember something about May 20th but I will need to see if I can find out what was actually said.

Sorry…Kennedy was way behind Carter…duh…

It seems to be clear that nothing major is going to happen until June 3, and that seems appropriate to me. But I think and hope things will start happening very quickly after that.

It’s about time. He should have been working towards this a coupl of weeks ago. but the negative campaign tactics delayed the inevitable conclusion to the ongoing campaign drama.
I have been a democratic voter for many elections and I have never seen a woman or black man create so much excitement.
I believe that the Obama appeal is his background and his platform to work with ordinary Americans. He understands what prejudice is and he didn’t grow up having everything, but his single (white) mother gave him the tools and support he needed to work towards earning a good education and self improvement. I believe he wants to “Unite” people and energize them as equals to do the best they can to live the American dream and that is truly a new dynamic.
I believe he will work for all the people and that is a very important part of being Commander and Chief of the greatest nation on earth.
I am proud to say I went into the California primary booth to actually vote for Senator Clinton because I knew who she was and out of nowhere I voted for Obama, a light went on in my head in the voter’s booth and I couldn’t forget his theme “CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN”. I thought for a few more seconds about some of his campaign slogans and things he brings to the table, so I voted for Obama.
I think all Americans need something to believe in and someone who understands the human condition before political fallout.

The DNC is tryingto throw Clinton under the bus as they like to say and we as the american punlic should not allow it … its not over yet Obama is ignoring WVA and KY

In the story Obama says he would welcome “town hall” type meetings with McCain, but then says his campaign would have to think about the logistics of it. Hm-m-m-m, would he be trying to get out of more debates just like he did with Hillary? What a phony! What a coward! And he wants to be Commander-in-Chief! What a disgrace to even think of this man as the head of the bravest fighting force in the entire world.

And he says he’s going to campaign now in Florida and Michigan! Wait, let me get this – your attorneys veto a revote for Michigan, you have been fighting to not let the votes in Florida be counted as certified, but you expect to go to these states and wave your magic wand and all of the people whom you disenfranchised in the primary will be tripping over themselves to vote for you in the general election? Sorry, can’t write any more, I’m laughing too hard!

Obama does not want to give Democrat voters in Florida and Michigan the right to vote for their choice of nominee and now wntas to start campaigning ther? He is oportunistic and deceiving. The worst kind of politician, one we cano not believe.

I say all the Hillary democrats join together to expose this illegal take over of our party we will not vote for Obam how many times do we have to say it?

Give me a brake. Obama may even lose California. Chinese and Oriental accounts for 10% votes in the general election. 85% of them will not vote for Obama. India and Parkistan decents and south Asia American account for 5% of the California general election vote, 85% of them will not vote for him. Latino account for 25-30% votes, 55% will not vote for him. How could one tell that he will win if you have a brain that can do math and that is different from Obama’s base and campaign.
Republican knows this. Media knows this too. Do you think that the media that sent Bush to White House will he Democratic party? They gave Obama a free ride only for him to drop and collapse.

Libra 75
Obama will not win the GE and we will fight him for the Nomination Obama will not be president now way no how!

Isn’t it interesting that Hillary brags that she is supported overwhelmingly by those who didn’t finish college? When you see the poor spelling and grammar in many of these posts, it becomes clear which are from Hillary supporters. Do you want to be lumped in with under-educated voters who blindly follow Clinton’s pandering promises? If not, visit the Obama website to learn why the majority of Democrats are supporting him.

I’ve never voted for a republican in my life. And I won’t have to if Hillary is the nominee.

Judge11 makes alot of sense
LETS ALL UNITE & STOP THIS BITTERNESS ….!!!!

Clear choice in November: Write in Senator Clinton on the ballot. Obama won’t be able to win the General election only with the African American vote and a few High school seniors or college freshmen.

libre — Yeah, don’t forget to include my white parents, 73 and 76 years old. They voted for Obama in the Indiana primary.

He is running on character and judgment, since he doesn’t have any real experience to speak of. He showed poor judgment and lack of character by attending that church for 20 years. In any other circumstance, I could really care less what someone believes, as long as they aren’t hurting anyone else. He doesn’t get a pass in this case though because he is running for President of the United States.

One thing is clear you can crow all you want but Obama does not have the support to become president elect in 2008 the Hillary people will not support him whether it is infighting or not it is a just cause! I am not a republican but I will support Mccain if it means preventing Obama from gettign in the White House this is serious stuff and a clear majority wimply wont allow him to be president!

Obama, Hillary or McCain, we will be in Iraq for a number of years no matter what anyone says. If McCain is President for 4 years, how will he ensure that we stay in Iraq for 100 years? That’s just plain stupid. If women haven’t lost the right to choose with Bush in office for 8 years, I don’t believe things will change radically in 4 years. I’d accept McCain for 4 years and pray that the Democrats move more towards the center and choose a moderate candidate next time around.

staniam — you claimed that Obama’s eventual nomination would be an “illegal takeover of the party.” You care to explain the illegal part to us?

Best president this country has had in 40 years is Jimmy Carter. Never heard any Democrat slam him. Last truly honest man we have had in the White House. Walks it just like he talks it.

Obama is unelectable, he ca not win without the blue collar voters, the rural voters, Hispanics, California, Florida, Michigan, PA, NY, etc.

Highly educated Obama’s supporters playing nicknames, still Obama is unelectable. There is still a chance for the party to realize this. If not just write Hillary in on the ballot.McCain may win, but I am sur Hillary will have more votes than Obama even with 98% of the African American vote.

Hillary’s base: blue collar workers, middle class Americans, Hispanics, Rural workers, small town people.

Carter also started us on the road to Energy independence in 1977, he was fostering alternative energy technologies and fuel efficiency standards for US automakers. He even had solar panels installed on the White House. Reagan gutted all of that. Now everyone talks big about an “Apollo Program” for energy independence… idiots! We had it and the Republicans scrapped it.

tomdavie — explain to me how, according to you, Hillary can have so much support and so little money.

Obama doesn’t “share” similar views. He has followed Senator Clinton because he can not do anything himself. that is the reason he is repeating “change things” for 6 months.

judge11
apparently you dont know the issues either Mccain is as liberal as Obama and Clinton but Pres Clinton is right Obama is a roll of the dice we will not let Obama get the nomination its not about money! you cant convince anyone go away!

staniam — I’ll tell you why Hillary has votes but no money. It’s because Operation Chaos (rush limpbaugh’s scheme) has been propping Hillary up in her race. CBS reported that here in Indiana, exit polls showed that 11% of Hillary supporters admitted to being Republicans and also admitted that they had no intention of voting for a Democrat in the general election. 11% was enough to put Obama over the top in Indiana.

Judge11
your precious Obama has been in the senate since 2005 has he cast a vote to stop the war …NO! hhe has voted for all funding as I recall… bogus argument… bogus candidate… Kerry,Kennedy,et all have something planned and we will not put up with it!

wooden nickel you are contradicting Obama and statistics. republicans mede possible for Obama to take the lead through caucuses. statistics say that Republican converts voted for Obama, Obama says that Republican converts voted for him. So who is lying you or him?

Even if Hillary asks, I won’t support Obama. I wll write her name on the ballot as independent. McCain will be less risk that the unknown and devious Obama.

Libre
I have had enough of rich elitists jumping in and screwing up elections that make a difference because the arent affected one way or the other… the can handle Mccain too so they come off with this riteous indignation that is false to the core… we will come after people with income int he top 1 percent range we will I guarantee it you will not screw around with us anymore!

staniam Kennedy’s envy of the Clinton’s is very dissapointing

staniam I never saw the media so biased and manipulated. There are no reports or information, every note is alredy directed with a purpose and digested for readers to believe whatever they want

tomdavie: Obama supporters are not gloating but is hard to pay Hilary Clinton compliments when half of her supporters say that they will vote for MCCain or that Obama is not capable being president.

namako
Obama will not be elected you will need Clinton for that and you arent going to get her and you will go away it would be better quitely or else!

If Clinton insists on staying in until the convention there is no way Obama is president.
I think he is unelectable now.
By the way. The country isnt actually in recession . The economy is improving now.
Gas is way up, but the overall economy is improving.
If the media mistreats Clinton much longer, the republicans themselves will use it to rip the party in half.
They will start using the very tactics the Obama campaign and the liberal media used to get rid of Clinton in the first place.
The republicans are WELL aware of how furious the Clinton supporters are at the Obama freaks, and most of all the MEDIA.
They will find a way to keep us Clinton supporters furious at Obama.

If you are judging peple on their knowing a person try the Clintons but then agaim they have killed off many who were associated with them and body guards many who could tell you the truth.Scaryyyyyyyy She is on trial for fraud I don’t understand why you think this couple are clean far from it.A vote for Obama is for change a vote for McCaim is for WAR more troops killer I for one want them home and taken care of,not swept under the table

I will never and I mean NEVER vote for Obama. His wife would be the most disrespected first lady this country has ever seen.

Ready999: I’m not a supporter of McCain, but I believe he would be preferable to Obama. I’ve never encountered a politician who is as ruthless and deceptive as Obama, and I’m including George Bush in that equation. Besides, I have a sense that McCain is not nearly as “conservative” as he is professing to be. As I’m sure you know, up until several years ago, he was very centrist. I think he is “catering to the base” so to speak, in order to garner their support. I think that once elected, he would move more towards the center, again. At any rate, I’d rather take a chance on him, than to risk having Obama as President. I simply could not take another 4 to 8 years of races cards and dirty politics.

Obama says he will unite the country- he can’t. He can’t unite his own party. McCain is the only candidate that has worked to get legislation through compromise and working to unite people.Obama being the most liberal Senator will only work for the liberal agenda of higher taxes and punishing business and we will all suffer as a result.

Susan, you’re partly correct about ruthless politicians. Unfortunately, Bush’s extremism (about many things) is causing a backlash. In response to Bush’s right-wing theocracy, many folks are ready to stampede to the opposite extreme. Obama is a potential disaster for America, but Bush brought us to this point.

No, Obama did not disenfranchise Michigan and Florida voters… the party bosses did, because they wanted to steer the “election” toward THEIR choices, not ours. Obama was merely along for the ride. “Punishing” voters by taking away their votes is something which should NEVER happen in America. The founding fathers of this country must be spinning in their graves like lathes.

Susan show one piece of proof that Obama and his lawyers have blocked a revote in Florida and Michigan. Show some evidence instead of something you most likely heard from one of Hillary’s supporters. The fact of the matter is that it has been said that to run primaries again on those states would cost millions of dollars. Who should foot the bill for that? Open up your little pocketbook first Susan and then maybe the rest of us will follow suit.

Obama is against any feasible way of lowering energy prices for the people. Obama is against drilling for new oil, building new refineries and nuclear energy. In fact Obama’s tactic of charging higher taxes to oil companies will actually make oil prices go higher. That’s what happened in the 70s when Carter tried the same thing and people had to wait in long lines at the gas stations to get the little oil there was since all the oil went bye bye to other Nations. Instead of using the environmentally safe ways of drilling for oil here, Obama would rather we buy the oil from the Middle East and use the environmentally unsafe way of shipping it over the oceans. Shipping oil over the ocean is subject to oil spills which have already caused great harm to the environment. That is what Obama is for. Just wonder if Obama is against any feasible and environmentally safer way of getting energy at lower cost here and prefers getting oil from the Middle East because he is in the pocket of OPEC? Just wondering.

You are all missing the biggest point of all. It is Dean and the party leadership that is supposed to hold the party together. Just like Bush will take the blame for his adminstration, so will Dean have to take his.
I want new party leadership after this election and I mean clean house! Any change on the democratic platform takes years to produce along with a contituancy. This radical left of the party has tried to change the party too much, too fast.
You just can’t throw out the old and bring in the new. It is a process that crosses demographics and generations. And that is exactly what has ocurred during this primary, a clash of demographics and generations.

Hillary’s supporters will not vote for Obama in GE. He thinks he can win in MIchigan and Florida after ignoring their vote count in the primary. He’s very arrogant and think voters will forget his action. He is stealing the nomination from Hillary. She should run as independent.

Susan “And finally, I, like millions of Americans, do hold Obama responsible for the debacle in Michigan and Florida”
how come?????
Susan if Hilary was in the lead .. would this have been brought up ?? .. you haven’t answered me????

This is funny. The Obama haters accuse Obama of not being electable, and then they turn around and accuse him of doing what it takes to win against Clinton. It looks to me like he is pretty good at winning campaigns. Why would we want to assume that the candidate who is actually losing her current campaign is somehow more “electable?”

quote from Bill Clinton “those that say u can’t win are the ones that are afraid you will win” …….

I am a registered independent and have been leaning toward the Democrats because I believe this country does need a change in leadership. We have sold our souls to fuel countries and have not had the benefit of relief in fossil fuel costs. We’ve neglected our old, young, poor and sick while giving tax breaks to the super rich. McCain is so in step with Bush we won’t know that a new president was elected if he wins. I will vote Democrat in November and pray that the rich will pay the taxes they can afford and our economy begins a well needed rebound.

Libre,
That’s right.
Ready for “CHANGE” he said change the WH.
Change into liberal, rich people run the country.
Left the poor,uneducated,rural,blue collar behind.

barack obama is NOT the messiah. he’s just a politician, folks. put down the kool-aid, and get behind hillary before it’s too late and john mccain wins in november!

Vote for Hillary before it’s too late, LOL….It is too late!!! It’s over by a long shot….It’s amazing how she has scammed her voters into thinking she’s still in it, so she can pay of her 20 million dollar debt with theit hard earned money…..She has proven that a fool and his money are soon parted……
