Senator Clinton Still Calling for a Debate

Know you are good at debating. with the fuel-tax issue, you made a bad idea look good but the truth why Obama will not agree to another debate is not because he is afraid of a debate but because any debate with you results in either him going nasty or you making people cast aspersions on his character.He is also being mindful that any attack on you now will be deemed as a sexist’s.I love you Hilary. For me it is either you or barack but If i was in his shoes, I will not debate you either.

We need to dbate about whitewater, file gate, and ALL her scandals INCLUDING THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH of vincent foster in the White House and the poor other departed souls for whom she is suspect during their administration. Get lost Hillary.

I remember when I was growing up. The bully used to always taunt me and because I chose to take the high road, the bullie’s enablers called me a chicken. Eventually, the bully bumped me and I whooped my opponents arse. Ya’ll might wanna stop trying to call Obama the chump for taking the high road. He’s already won, but he hasn’t broke out the whoop-arse on her yet.

Debate? Debate on what? What pantsuit she should wear or the date she should close down her campaign shop? This is seemingly becoming more ridiculous from her campaign side. I believe she is a very articulate and bright person, tell me why she is behaving this way? It makes no sense to me! Here is a good example of her not being capable of running our country- She doesn’t know how to choose the battles-or slow down and evaluate what is going on-She is running on reaction and isn’t that precisely what has happened with the Bush and the republicans? Look where that has gotten us-

I think the Hil from Hell should debate Jimmah Cawtaw. Neither of them live in the real world, so they would have something to talk about.

You have the title wrong and anti-Hillary, as usual ABC and for that matter all the liberal press.
It clearly states that Univision called for the debate for Puerto Rican issues and Hillary accepted and called for Obama to accept.
Millions of Americans will no longer trust the liberal press news, because we have seen first hand how you twist it. To think that conservatives were saying this all along and that Fox News is the only unbiased source of news is one of the saddest things to learn out of this whole thing.
So we Hillary supporters end up voting for McCain and I guess that just completes the conversion.
I will hand it to ABC that they have done some decent reporting on Obama as well and the ABC debate didn’t pander to him like the other MSM debates.
Hillary ’08

If she could win the GE, why isn’t she winning the nomination? Her clan is trying their best to raise hell about this and that – boo hoo – I’m losing and now I’ll do anything to try and change their minds

Despite the fact that Obama is considered to be the highly probable Democratic nominee, Gallup Poll Daily tracking continues to show that, at the moment, Clinton is performing better against presumptive Republican nominee John McCain than is Obama. Clinton’s five percentage point lead over McCain is statistically significant, and considerably stronger than Obama’s 2-point loss to McCain among registered voters nationwide.

Maybe HRC should run as an Independant.
There is no way she will be the Democratic nominee. Bill and Hillary are now working toward the electorial college, what a load of BS. I guess I will contribute more to Obama…

MR.0 CAN ONLY READ HIS SCRIPT.
BRILLIANT HILLARY WILL KNOCK HIS PANTS OFF IN ANY DEBATE, AND EXPOSE HIM!
PURE AND SIMPLE THAT IS WHY MR. 0 IS FRIGHTENED OF DEBATING HILLARY.
THIS IS NOT SPLITTING THE PARTY, THIS IS DEMOCRACY! ENOUGH OF ASKING HILLARY TO DROP OUT!

McCain will win in a landslide if she soesn’t run as independent (and of course she isn’t).
The only way McCain doesn’t win is if Hillary is Dem nominee for president.
I know, won’t happen, so McCain wins in a landslide.
Hillary ’08

I am half black. I don’t support Obama because he is not qualified. I assume that you are one of the many black people who voted for him just because he is black… Just proving a point.

Howard Dean and his cronies at the DNC goofed big time. How could any American disenfranchise two states? Will this be an election by 48 states? Read the Constitution: every vote counts! This nominating process is not over. Let it run out; let 50 states be counted and then wait for the super delegates to choose the most experienced,most electable candidate:
Senator Clinton. John McCain will be our next president if Obama is chosen.

@ Charlie Richmond
McCain was a prisoner of war. Time after time they offered to let him go but not the other prisoners. He refused every time the offered because wanted all of the prisoners released. Each time he refused they would break the bones in his arms and hands. That is why he cannot lift his arms above his head and that is why he is a war hero.
Maybe you can keep talking and prove how uneducated Obama supporters really are.

OBAMA IS SCARDEEE CAT!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe somebody better keep an eye on Hill and Bill-and don’t let her no where near the VP spot-She might do something to Obama to become the President- Forget her running as an independent just keep her out of the VP spot and AWAY FROM OBAMA. Somebody need to call the FBI and inform them.

enough. Supers end this now before the Clintons destroy our chances in November.

He should be forced to debate by the DNC. he has done so poorly in one on one debates that he refuses to have anymore.
Problem is, in the general election he will have to debate one on one.
The should be a part of the decision making process and most of the debates were before the filed narrowed. They have only had 4 or 5 one on one.
Just yet another reason among many that he is unelectable.

I wish she would run on the Independent ticket………she would win easily.
I am so disgusted with the Dem party bosses and how they have tried to cram Obama down our throats. I have two words to explain Obama’s delegate lead: Caucuses and Dean.
Good luck with that in November.

ROGER, you are so right. If Hillary ran independent she would win.
Make you her and Bill can hold that election in your bedroom at a little sleep over party sometime.
Get real.

Hillary
Get off your horse and support the democratic nominee.
His name is BARACK OBAMA.
Turn on the tv or read the paper – I think you’ll like him. He’s gonna win,
UNLESS YOU CONTINUE TO DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO BREAK HIS ANKLES!
Is Ickes hoping for another Carter 1980 disaster?

After Pennsylvania, Obama is done debating Hillary. She wipes the floor with him on the issues. He’ll never put himself in that position again. Better to work large crowds with the telemprompter like a rock star. “Hello Tampa. I love you Tampa. It’s great to be here in Tampa… blah, blah, blah.”

You expect this out of republicans but why do Hillary democrats try to pass off being questioned about flag pins as a intelligent debate? We all get it.. you want your candidate to beat the guy but at this expense?

The most shameful thing that I am seeing about this whole primary is how easily people become divided when things don’t go exactly their way. With that sort of mindset in our country, I fear that we will continue along the same downward spiral no matter who wins the general election. All of this bickering is succeeding at nothing but making the Democratic party look like a big joke. Way to go!!!!

Hillary wants to debate Obama because she knows he is not a good debater. He stumbles when he speaks and puts his foot in his mouth. So he doesn’t want to debate Hillary. If he was a good debater he would debate her and put her away. I guess we’ll have to wait until John McCain debates him. Obama you can’t run and hide, you will have to debate.

Hillary is a hard headed lady, she did not surrond herself with smart advisors, and she thought that her and Bill had this wraped up,she has some many diffrents swing moods, will the reeal Hillary please stand up, grow up and accept it you lost, Obama does not need her as his VP. there are other who can bring a more pleaset union. Say Good-night Hillary.

You right Hillary we should have a debate except not with you rather McCain
You can go to Bosnia with your NAFTA friends and dodge sniper fire.

Cecelia wrote: “People who are suggesting a debate at this eleventh hour are just as delusional as Hillary.”
So Univision, which asked for the debate, and the Puerto Rican people, who want their issues debated, are delusional.
I’m sure they don’t think much of you either.
Hillary ’08

I suggest she should debate Bill..lol

sdk wrote: “you know darn well who would win if Hillary ran as an Independent. She would split the vote and MCCAIN would win!”
People want her to, and she may very well win it if she did, a three way poll shows that, but she won’t. She’s a dedicated Democrat, more dedicated thatn millions who will vote candidate over Party and not for someone with associations and no record that Obama has.
Hillary ’08

she talks of swing states, what about states Dems should win. She is polling terribly in California now and is in a statistical tie with McCain, while Obama is polling much higher. A Democrat can’t win without California. If you look at Democratic states she won early on, they have tired of her and she polls much worse now.
She is crazy, all the late night show have made a laughingstock out of her, she has become a joke, no one takes anything she says seriously.

HRC supporters never explain how she could win the general election when she herself said she’s losing (lost) the primary because the media are against her and America is sexist. So why would any of that change in the general election? She had a choice to be a winner or a victim. She chose victim.

alimr wrote: “i respect her campaigning but she is now pandering saying that she will get puerto ricans vote to count in the general election. i mean come on. shes going to pass a bill before shes elected assuming she wins that allows them to vote and draw up a constitution in 5 months?”
You know that’s totally untrue, and if you don’t, explains why you’re an Obama supporter.
1) She said that the Puerto Rican people would decide for themselves with a vote, that she would work to have happen in her first term.
2) If they decided to becone a state, it would go through the process of adding a state. The first general election year would depend on how quickly the states ratified it.
3) The key was she as president was going to work to enable them to make the decision in her first term. There was nothing about this upcoming election in November.
Hillary ’08

WestCoastMessanger, a great HillLover, we were missing you, please remember that the last three contests were won by Obama: North Carolina, Indiana (republican vote helped Hill the Bosnian General to get 2% more than Obama) and Oregan and the remaining three will be won by Obama again. Hill has to understand that there is no need for a debate anymore, everybody knows what she wants to do: bring every Puerto-Rican to the moon and give them the right to vote even if they do not want to be part of the US taxe system. God save America from Hill and her beloved friend McCain. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

My comments were the ones attributed to rd comments before Inks comments I will appreciate it if this can be corrected. I think I was probably given rd’s comments while he was given mine.
Thank you.

How is Hillary going to win in an independent run? Even her most ardent supporters can’t keep her campaign in the black.
The women has been in debt since Super Tuesday. All the vendors she’s jilted already certainly aren’t going to welcome here with open arms again. She’ll either have to take out a second mortgage or pay her workers in bottles of Crown Royal.
Maybe she should hire carnies to set up at all the state fairs. I haven’t been to a freak show in awhile.

50 STATES – NOT 48
Hillary WILL fight for Asians too. Which is why MOST Asians (Korean, Japanese and Chinese Americans) support Hillary.

one man who was delusional of a chicken is after him becuase she think he a seed, he went to see a psychiatist who is able to convince him that he okay, and he need to move on with his life. He agreed that he is getting better.. but before he leave the psychiatrist office he turned to doctor and said; but doctor who is going to convince the chicken that i’m not a seed?…
IT IS OVER.. IT IS JUST DELUSIONAL TALKS..

Real Clear Politics–which averages all the major polls, not just cherry-picking the ones most favorable to Clinton: Obama over McCain by 2.8%; Hillary over McCain by 1.5%. Nuff said–goodbye Hillary.

Greetle wrote: “I think John Edwards or even Hillary should run independantly but not push their campaigns unless Obama runs into meltdown type trouble.
They should stress to the voters that they are there as backups if the democratic nominee runs into difficulty with some smear campaign or other. That would stop the repugs from destroying Obama or whoever wins the dem ticket. They know there will be an independant backup ready and waiting to come in.”
That’s a really good idea, but you have to set up an independent candidacy by filing paperwork, and in many cases it has to be done by early June.
Some states don’t allow people who lost in primaries to run as independent. Hillary won Pennsylvania but Edwards didn’t.
All in all, the major parties set up major roadblocks for any competition with their two parties. If anyone but McCain had been the Repub nominee, I’d be hoping that a moderate third party would be set up.
No, the decision is end of August, and if there is an October surprise, if Michelle’s rant against the man is really there, it’s too late.
That’s assuming Obama’s polls stay up through the summer until the end of August and we don’t have a surprise before then.
Hillary ’08

Hello Barack, It’s me… Hillary… yea, yea, fine thanks, hey listen Fox Puerto Rico is offering me 90 minutes of free prime time..yea yea thanks but they wanted me to see how you felt about it.. yea,yea thanks but I meant you joining me, you know… okay I’ll be honest. the deal sort of hinges on you showing up, you don’t have to stay long… yea thanks but I don’t want you to loan me the money to go on by myself… they pretty much insist that you… okay pal, be that way… you’re well within our sights anyway, if you catch my drift.

The problem with your beloved Hillary running as an independant is that you assume that she has LOST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS. You believe the 17million still exists for dear ole Hillary? I have 8 friends which voted for Hillary in the early primary states…..How many will are Clintonites now? ZERO! Not only has she lost their respect, but they now see how as the narcissitic, contriving, calculating, manipulative person that she is!
Before the primaries, according to the polls, Hillary was leading by double digits in EVERY STATE…..that being said….The problem with Hillary and the REASON she would NEVER beat McCain in a GE is that….unlike Obama…..the MORE PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT HILLARY…..THE MORE THEY DISLIKE HILLARY!
If Hillary strongarms the nomination away from Obama……believe me…….there will be NO WAY IN HELL that she would EVER be PRESIDENT!…..Not in ’08, ’12, ’16……NEVER!

The problem with your beloved Hillary running as an independant is that you assume that she has NOT LOST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of supporters!

Hi, Cocoa. I agree and would love for us Democrats to all get along.
However, HRC supporters are very devious in their tone and opinions. It is okay for us to all have different opinions, but it is important for people to do their homework completely and look at the facts.
HRC has a lot of baggage that makes her unelectable. Again, the current (one of several) litigation Peter Paul v. Clinton is really disturbing. See for yourself at: http://www.paulvclinton.com
She sits there and preaches to the media and audiences as if she is innocent with no baggage whatsoever. I recognize that no candidate is perfect because they are all human beings that have lived. BUT one common theme that continues to emerge with her are lawsuits dealing with campaign fraud.
Again, this is really disturbing.
Had the media covered this case like they had Rev. Jeremiah Wright, many would have a more accurate picture of her. IF you ask me, she has actually gotten a free ride because this has not been covered by the media.
Don’t believe it, HRC supporters, read it for yourself:
http://www.paulvclinton.com

BamBam don’t take the de’BAIT’. She showed her hand last week, remember?!

From reading the Hillary Supporters comments not only are you delusional but frightening. The fact that you are threatened by the young guy with nuance intelligence just goes to prove that your generation dropped the ball. Most of the people who support Obama are your childrens age and the fact that you feel entitled to so much, says alot about your generation and why your children are now struggling to gain a small part of the America there entitled too. You people have definitely subscribed to the Clinton Talking Points, which is an indicator of the torch passing from the mentally insane to the rational thinker. You people are sick and really need your heads examined. The truth is all around you, and to vote for McCain to spite Obama and his supporters further proves my argument. Sometimes the hardest thing to face is TRUTH and oneself, you all really need to do some soul searching and start looking to the future instead of living in the past.

I say Hillary should run as an independent. Obama will ruin the Democrat party anyway.

The only paid bloggers on here are Obama-hating Republicans posing as Hillary supporters. Sad but true.

Obama is correct to ignore Hillary’s pathetic request for a debate. Game over, Hillary!!
At this point, a vote for Hillary is like a vote for Norma Desmond.

Henry wrote: “Are you saying that you want the rules to be changed after-the-fact to benefit HRC? IF this is what you are saying, “Why?”"
To a degree I am. I want the Florida and Michigan delegations to be seated as voted or a revote. Both have upcoming primaries and a revote could be done in both states.
Hillary pledged not to campaign in those states, and she didn’t. I live in Florida, and Obama ran ads here on cable tv. Hillary didn’t.
Obama took his name off the Michigan ballot to impress Iowa and New Hampshire, and he did, and pushed Michigan supporters to vote Uncommitted. Hillary did not campaign in Michigan.
So the FL and MI states got the message about moving their votes up, they only got slight attention from Obama and none from Hillary, and now it’s time to seat the delegates as both Hillary and Obama have told them they will.
The delegates to win is 2210, and neither candidate has it.
In that case, the SD’s job is to decide the best candidate to win the White House. They were specifically set up because of McGovern in ’72.
McGovern was another anti-war, college students and professors and latte liberals loved left winger.
He won one state.
Carter was another Obama, facing an old Republican named Reagan.
He won six states.
The SD’s can make follow the rules and make their choice, ut if they’re lousy electoral counters Obama will come somewhere in between Carter or McGovern and Mondale or Dukakis.
And either way, the Democratic Party is split between Chicago radicals and working class people, so I know longer expect the Democratic Party to be any more viable than a third party Socialist Party.
Which is better than the Communist Party, I guess.
Hillary ’08

Rd:
Since you want to raise Ayers, do NOT forget about the Clintons’ ties to two former Weather Undergrounds members. Also, why do HRC supporters keep talking about the October shock? Has HRC fed the GOP something to use against BO in October?
All that I can do is pray for all of this hatred to dissipate. This is well expected to come from the GOP, but to come from within our own party to use against our party nominees is really disheartening.
While I don’t agree with your response, I do appreciate your responding. Thanks, Rd.

Only 49 delegates to go!!!!!!!
Barack Obama has picked up three superdelegate votes from Hawai’i.
Hawai’i Democrats selected three Obama supporters to fill its remaining superdelegate slots at their state convention Sunday, including the new chair and vice chair of the party.
Chairman Brian Schatz and vice chairwoman Kari Luna say they will support Obama at the national convention. State Democrats chose retired Judge James Burns, also an Obama supporter, as the final superdelegate.
The three Obama supporters are among the state’s nine superdelegates, only two of whom support Obama’s rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Among Hawai’i’s pledged delegates, Obama leads Clinton 14-6.

Henry wrote: “I’m honestly trying to understand your rationale. She is NOT entitled to be the nominee. Realistically, BO laid out a long-term strategy and her campaign laid out a short-term (thru Super Tuesday in Feb.).”
Everyone of the professionals believed the winner would be determined by Super Tuesday. That’s all the talking heads talked about. That’s what they said day in and day out.
Obama got extra delegates from ultra-liberals in red state caucuses and extra delegates from 92% voting from black concentrations in certain congressional districts. if you want to call that a “long-term strategy” that’s your perogative. You can keep it if you want the Chicago radicals to be your standard bearers from now on.
Hillary ’08

So…now she’s from Puerto Rico? Wait, I though she was from Scranton, PA? Or was it New York? Or Ohio?
She needs to stop. She is embarrassing herself, embarrassing the Clinton name, embarrassing women. The United States has already suffered through eight years of an embarrassing President.
She needs to stop already and let a President we can be proud of, who calls upon us to serve our country in a deeply touching and dignified manner, get on with defeating John W. McBush, another embarrassing candidate.

Hillary Clinto has divided the country in every possible way, first bill started the race issue, then she said barack cannot win the white votes, and now she is blaming people of sexism.
I am really ashamed as a women to see how Hillary is behaving. shame on you Hillary Desperate Clinton!

When I had learned of Hillary’s
assassination comment, thoughts
of Karma ran through my mind.
There is an old saying, that goes:
“May the hole you dig for me,
be the hole you fall in”

Why should he debate with you, Hillary? You are not a candidate. And did you see how well he did on the recent Ohio and California polls? What happened to your Hispanic supporters and your little old ladies? Have they decided to go with the people’s choice?

just give it a few days….after what she has done, her numbers at the poll are gonna hit rock bottom!! not to mention it is only may! give me a break!!

No matter who runs (and it will be Obama) the democrats will win. There are now so many more democrats than republicans that it would take some sort of miracle for McCain to be elected. Add to that the revulsion for the Iraqi war, or any war…..

She should just wrap things up and save her last shred of dignity so that we can have a unified Democratic party under Obama.
This country needs the type of change that Obama will bring to Washington.
Republicans have done so more damage to our country in the past 8 years that we cannont afford another 4 years of MCain.

Rd,
BO is NOT tied to Farrakhan. In fact, rather, Hillary’s supporter Ed Rendell awarded Farrakhan a few years ago for some work he’d done in PA. There is even a video clip of him granting Farrakhan this award and hugging him for a photo op. BO rejected Farrakhan’s endorsement immediately. Interesting how HRC did NOT mention this during the debate, instead, she tried linking BO to Farrakhan. But many people know the real deal on this anyway.
As a white American, I am saddened by all of the prejudice in our world and as displayed in this blogosphere….it is just sad.

BKMC,
Winner? Really? Does Barack Obama have 2029 votes? I don’t think so. He hasn’t been able to close the deal. Polls shows that Bosnian General Hillary wins the electoral map, but SweetieGate Obama loses. Why would you want to put up a candidate that is destined to lose. Makes no sense to me.
========================================
Hillary in ’08 or ’12. The lower the year the higher the IQ of the Democratic Party
========================================

Sam, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are right on and for some reason, these litigations are being ignored.
I am so sick and tired of people saying HRC has been vetted!!!!!!!!!!! She has NOT been vetted since leaving the WH. The judge granted her an extension until after the November election to provide sworn testimony in the Peter Paul v. Clinton case.
I am sooooooo baffled how people can continue to make excuses and continue supporting with so many litigations currently going on with her.

rd–
You lie. Hillary has jumped on every controversy that has come up about Obama. her supporters are the one’s who sent out the lying e-mail that he was muslim.
Obama has taken the high road and has not drug any of the bodies out of her closet and God knows there are many.
If she steals this nomination, the vast right wing conspiracy that she has embraced will eat her alive. They know everything there is to know and they will expose it to the light of day.
She and Bill are two of the dirtiest politicians to ever disgrace this country.

Thinking,
About that popular vote, take a look at the politics tab on ABC News. I think it’s clear. Shows Hillary a couple of hundred thousand ahead when you count all Democratic voters. By excluding two states of voters it shows Obama ahead by a couple of hundred thousand. This is really about whether the Obama campaign plans to disenfranchise two states because the “so-called rules” dictated by the DNC are more important than Democracy. Frankly, I don’t think the Obama campaign is representative of Democracy in any form.
So that being said, I plan to vote for Obama during the General Caucus in November. Can someone please tell me where I need to go to participate in that Caucus.
=======================================
Obama, still can’t close the deal.
Obama Zombie supporters want any female candidates to quit the race before it’s over. What’s up with that Zombies!
========================================

Obama Zombie supporters?? Are you saying Obama is a Zombie or his supporters? I keep reading how Obama won’t get Hillary’s votes because his supporters are so mean. I think both sides have been unreasonable to a point.

Passin thru and Sexy.
————————–
It’s all about the “electoral college”
OR the 270 electoral votes.
You mention,california and ohio.
California is a blue state but the governor is republican.
Ohio is a toss-up OR swing state.
Kerry lost Ohio in ’04.
What makes you believe the democrats
this time will carry Ohio.
What about Pennsylvania another swing
state.
General elections are a different ballgame.

What some of her supporters don’t realize because they are in denial is how can she win? IF she did somehow win it would be seen as she stole the nomination by Obama supporters, she would get few votes from them. Her unfavorable numbers with Republicans is like 78% and with Inds it is over 70%. How is she going to win with 25% of the GE vote? The polls now are with Obama supporters saying they would vote for Hillary, but if they felt that she stole the nomination they would turn against her.
She lost the Nomination AND there is no way she can win the GE. Heck she is within the margin of error in CA against McCain. And not only that but why are we even talking about polls? If we were going to decide it on polls why have a primary process where the goal it to win delegates?

He Jozy,
You referred pejoratively to Hillary’s “clan”. Sounds like a bit of race baiting to me. Hillary’s so-called “clan” has more people in it than in Obama’s “clan” if you take a look at the counts on ABC News Politics tab. The fact is more people have pulled the lever for Hillary than Obama whether or not they will be counted. I’m sure you don’t need the votes of her “clan”, though, you can Obama can do fine without it. We’ll see.
=======================================
Obama represents the abandonment of the working class!
=======================================

Jack Smith,
Latest polls show that with time Hillary continues to become less and less electable.

uh, hello, sexy and henry. It doesn’t take anyone to be behind something to buy the church tapes and look at them. That’s what Hannity did.
To blame that on Hillary is par for the Obama course, but not true.
Hillary ’08

You can’t pick a candidate by how they run in a paticualr state during the primary. Bill lost states during the primaries he later won during the general.
And things change, the more Hillary is around the lower her numbers go. The longer Obama is around he usually improves his numbers. Hillary would motivate the Republican base which at present isn’t excited about McCain.
To look at cherry picked polls, while ignoring polls we don’t like and electoral college maps created by Karl Rove 6 months out as evidence to overturn a democratic election is insane

My comment: It’s time for everyone to stop commenting now. She’s is taking away from all of our collective energy. Please drop out HRC before that collective laugh is heard too loudly.

Hi, Amira.
I agree with you. That’s another important attribute about BO—he understands people’s cultural differences just from proudly being of two races. He speaks highly of his late mother for whom he had great respect. Thanks for raising this again. I raised it earlier to explain to people that it is ridiculous to say he is “anti-white” which someone had incorrectly said earlier.

Hillary actually believes she is still in the race. Please. The train has left the station Hillary and you’re still standing on the platform waiting for it to come.
Get over it. You lost. Time to come out of denial.

Thanks, Rick. Well said….I agree.

Hillary is a master-debater since Bill ignored her.

Kim, to ensure the legitimacy of what you are sending us, please provide me the reference/source of it so that I can check out its authenticity.
Also, the link does not work.
I am sick and tired of fabricated links circulating the web. Again, please provide the source. BO is a proud bi-racial American who is proud of his white and African American heritage. So what exactly are you sharing with us?

Obama should pick Hillary as his VP. McCain should pick Laura Bush as his VP. That way if something happens to Obama or McCain, we can all enjoy eight more years of the Clintons or the Bushes. Now won’t that be dandy.

My pledge to the DNC:
I will vote straight party republican if Hillary is any where on the ticket or I hear her cackle on election day.

I am disgusted at the campaign she has run. I have always voted for the Clintons but not this time, if for no other reason then to teach my children that you don’t reward evil deeds.
I am a Christian and Obama is actually getting some interest in our community, it may be enough to hurt McCain. One reason is we are sick of the evil attacks like the 527s and the Clinton camp put out. I think, depending on how it all plays out, Obama could surprise some people in communities not expected. I think times may be changing, and people are sick of the old divisive politics.

It is kind of outrageous that Hillary supporters are threatening to vote for NeoCon Anti-Choice John McCain. And they try to say that Obama supporters were “Cultists”. Ha!
Considering that they, Hillary supporters are responding in polls that they will vote for McCain over Obama is why the polls are coming out skewed.
Furthermore, Hillary has yet to be attacked by either the Republicans or Obama. In fact, Obama, unlike Hillary had the good sense not to attack another Democrat.
If Obama was the low life that Hillary has shown herself to be, he could have easily torn her apart. He chose to be better than that, and that is why he has my respect, while Hillary only earned my ire.

I agree,the democrats do not have the
right leaders.
The democrats must stop suppotring all
the ill social issues you mention
above and start paying attention on most
important issues as the economy,war,health care,wages,education
jobs and economic prosperity for all
citizens.
Also i agree with you about the republicans.They know how to manipulate
the system.
Democrats must change the platform of
the party on several issues such as the
right to bear arms,death penalty,abortion etc.
They must move to the center or to the
right in certain issues in order to win
the elections.

IT IS OVER AND THERE IS NO MORE DEBATE.
I GUESS SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DREAMING.

This hurts to watch.

This woman is the quintessential sore loser. Before you know it, she’ll be complaining about a vast left-wing conspiracy plotting to bring here down. I use to love her but now I just pity her.

where I’m from, accepting an invitation to dinner is not the same as begging to have dinner …
“I was informed that Univision will sponsor a debate between Sen. Obama and myself about the issues affecting Puerto Rico,” Clinton said. “I accept that invitation. Anytime, anywhere.”

Even if Hillary wins 100% of all the remaining elected delegates, she still needs 80% of the Superdelagates. SHE CANNOT WIN. All this debate can do is damage the eventual nominee.

For the Clintons, this race has always been about the Clintons and them returning to the White House for another 8 years.
There is a saying here in Washington among Democrats that the Clintons are always there when they need you. That sums it up well.

Just what the American votes want. Another meaningless boring debate.

I don’t know what polls some of you are citing. The general election polls I’ve seen are all over the place. It’s May and way too early for these polls to have any meaning. I think that those of you who see Clinton winning in November are swigging the kool aid that Obama supporters are so frequently accused of sipping.
Obama’s been a gentleman in terms of not dredging up the sleaze and psychodramas of the Clinton presidency. Do you think that the Republicans and their 527′s will be as charitable? Obama’s refrained from calling her a liar. Do you think they will? (particularly given the fact that six out of ten voters find her “untrustworthy and untruthful”) Her Bosnian b.s. alone is worth a string of great attack ads on her “character.” All the old slop from the Clinton White House will be back on the table along with whatever new slop she and Bubba’s have managed to involve themselves in since 2000.
Finally. the religious right is currently ambivalent about McCain. Fairly or not, the one sure means of getting them fired up and voting is the idea of Hillary Clinton as President. If I were John McCain, I’d be praying daily that the Democrats are silly enough to nominate her.

If you monitor the debates going on in CNN, MSNBC, FOX and ABC and other non-maintsream blogsphere, it is sizzling with emotional discourse on RACE,GENDER, RELIGIOUS DIVIDE.
The more points each side makes, the more entrenched the positions have becomes…. the spectrum of views have polarized, not converge.
The nation is not more unified after the primary is over….
The poll in Newsweek, in my view, reflects the polarization of views….folks are digging in.
The great unifier and the orchestrator behind the BHO campaign is not unifying….the likes of Jimmy Carter is (sort of) endorsing without endorsing, much like he negotiate with HAMAS without negotiating with them.
The numbers are sad but true.

…but then again, this is America…we always come out of a crisis like GE 2008 stronger :)

She complained Obama was whining and her words were:
IF YOU CANT TAKE THE HEAT GET OUT OF THE KITCKEN now she must take her own acvice.

changing the rules daily
==============================
Well said. Those are symptoms of desperation turning to insanity.

In this Memorial Day, May God bless America that the nation shall be governed by judicial rules and humanitarian law, with freedom and prosperity; but not with twisted logic and imaginary math.

Another debate? Smart move! But Obama is not stupid to fall into her trap! He has already practically won the primary, while she has losed. To have another debate, the loser has nothing to lose. Hmnnn…

Debate about what? They have debated so many times and the result? Obama has won more delegates, caucauses and popular vote(minus Florida/Michigan) and we know the story behing that..so why another debate? About what? This I do know..If Obama does not ask Hillary to be the veep in November..he is going to lose in the general.. because all the crazies so called Hillary democrats are going to vote for “McRain”..with that guy as president it will rain thunder and brimstone on the economy..he already says that he does not know much about the economy. I think Obama/Clinton ticket is unbeatable in November. Democrats 08!

Whataboutthis: Dream on! Dream on! Its over for Hillary..and I am not an Obama groupie either..I like them both..I am democrat and decided to vote only in the General election for whomever the nominee is..but the fact is..there is not way that Hillary can overcome her deficit now..All you Hillary dreamers out there are living in la la land..get over it..she ran a bad campaign and underestimated Obama because she thought that she had this thing wrapped up..Obama ran a much better coordinated campaign..its as simple as that…she lost..get over it..roll up your sleeve and help the dems win in November..An Obama/Hillary ticket is the only road to victory..pure and simple! Dems 08

SOPHIA BECK
Debate? Debate on what? What pantsuit she should wear or the date she should close down her campaign shop? This is seemingly becoming more ridiculous from her campaign side. I believe she is a very articulate and bright person, tell me why she is behaving this way? It makes no sense to me! Here is a good example of her not being capable of running our country- She doesn’t know how to choose the battles-or slow down and evaluate what is going on-She is running on reaction and isn’t that precisely what has happened with the Bush and the republicans? Look where that has gotten us-
I totally agree with you on this but I think she is staying in the race because DNC rules allow her to continue to solicit and collect donations indefinitely if she stays til June 3 otherwise she cannot collect donations and she is $20 million or so in debt.

csquan and Brent ========
The name “timothy Mcveigh” sounded good to all of us.
But he went on to kill 168 americans in Oklahoma city.
Why are you so obsessed with names instead of deeds ?

With regard to debates, or intense discussions, I wonder if Obama would treat his wife the same as he has Hillary? Is it all women, or just certain women, that he deigns to debate or discuss matters with?
What is he going to do when he comes up against a real macho, or alpha, MALE? Roll over and submit, or flee?
Don’t forget, the President is supposed to represent the greatest and most powerful country in the world, so frankly, I would want someone who would be willing to take another “leader” on any time, anywhere. Someone who is fearless and willing to go to states where they know they are unpopular, but give it their best shot regardless. By the way, how much campaigning did Senator Obama do in West Virginia and Kentucky, and where was he on the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s death? And was he at the Black State of the Union meeting?
So, what is the measure of the man, and what is the measure of his female opponent?

Geldo …why are we so sensitive about names … we all have First Names, Middle Names and Family Names of forms thereof …and if you believe in “multi-racialism” and “multi-culturalism” … so of us have genealogy dated back 5,000 BC.

Why on earth should he debate her? She’s like the crazy bag lady on the street corner screaming at everybody.
Hillary has become a total disgrace.

hope this season is not going to be remembered for another “how the Democrats lost the unloseable election” season

Yavo Lem,
I’d like my leader to be willing to listen, diplomatic, and not too bullheaded and macho. Strong and diplomatic is what Obama is. Weak and desperate is what Hillary is. I’d rather have a President that is willing to hear and respond to what the people “say we need”.
Obama ’08!

Yavo …I am, like you, an independent ..but unlike you voted for BHO during earlier in caucus b4 the Wright vs Right discourse
… but it is going to tough season for the DEMS at the rate things are going.
I am watching …if it is Hillary vs McCain match-up, I am not likely to vote Hillary; but if it is a Obama vs McCain…I am gravitating towards a GOP ticket

You reap what you sow!
What goes around comes around!
Need I say anymore.

Why does he need to debate her anymore? She doesn’t want to talk about the issues that are important to the citizens. She is extra good at personal attacks and dirt. The old ways that they campaigned in the past. Brings to mind what my mother told me years ago. A leopard can’t change his spots. They failed to recognize what was at the hearts and minds of American citizens.

========================================
csquan, as we have CLOSED primaries here in CT, I could not vote. So, I have a LOT of empathy for Florida and Michigan and trust their delegations will be seated intact, in accordance with the voters’ wishes. As I said before, give Obama the “UNCOMMITTED” vote and delegates. Substantially fine the two states.
The DNC and that ridiculous former President Carter should stop meddling with the “Super Delegates”, who should not be manipulated, nor should they be endorsing candidates. They are not supposed to function until after there is a DEADLOCK at the Convention in Denver in AUGUST. Clinton has every right to go all the way to the Convention and make her case there, and the Obama camp is fully aware of this, hence all the screaming and vitriol, trying to force her out. But she is twice the man Obama is, and if I hear her correctly, this fight will go to the floor, and Obama may wind up lying on it.
The “Super Delegates” have a responsibility to pick the STRONGEST candidate who can WIN the White House in November, and without a doubt that person is Hillary Clinton. For the “Super Delegates”, who are responsible to the PARTY and not to any specific candidate, to not carry out their mandate and pick a weaker candidate would be dereliction of duty and breach of trust. If that is what the Obama people are going to force to happen, then I really fear for this country.
I am a middle-of-the-road Independent and I, too, have problems with McCain, but he as lots of experience and who he picks as his running mate will probably determine whether or not I vote Republican or sit it out, if Hillary is not the Nominee. No, Condelezza Rice, or Newt Gingrich, or Huckabee, or Rick Santorum, etc. On the Democratic side, there is absolutely no way I will vote for Obama on any ticket, and I have made that abundantly clear to the DNC, and have had them take me off their mailing list.
So, now we wait to see what happens with Florida/Michigan, Puerto Rico, South Dakota and Montana. If Hillary wins by any large margin in Puerto Rico, I believe she will wind up winning the popular vote, but neither of them will have enough PLEDGED delegates to claim the Nomination before the Convention. Florida and Michigan can always be refought at the Convention Credentials Committee and I know the Clintons carry more weight than Obama in the Party itself. I believe the Electoral College Vote side-by-side comparison, which I have been posting, is very telling with regard to STRENGTH, while the head-to-head polls only serve to confirm this. Thus, Hillary is a lot more formidable than these stupidos on the Blogs are trying to pretend. They know how weak their man is, and I believe that when he is on the mat at the convention, everyone will be able to see for themselves.
Finally, I just want to say that if nothing else, this contest has been exciting, but way too expensive. There has to be some drastic revision of the whole primary system, starting with getting rid of the caucuses. Then they should limit the campaigning to three our four National TV debates, so people can get a measure of the potential candidates. Then after a suitable time, maybe a month or so, they should hold the primaries, but they have to get some consistency among them (Closed, Open, Semi-open, primary then caucus, etc.). I think they should also do away with all these pre-vote polls and especially, the exit polls. I also believe that limits should be placed on just when TV can begin broadcasting and predicting “winners”. I guess the best guideline for me would be not before the last voting takes place, East to West. That way there would be minimal influence on late voters. I also think mass mail-in balloting as in Oregon should be banned and that some type of foolproof (yes, I know) system, almost like the old-fashioned lever machines we had (and still have in storage) here in CT, should be used nationwide. I say that because I believe the electronic systems are too vulnerable to either attack or manipulation (what do we do if the power fails?).
Well, I’ve probably left out a few things and made a few typos, but that’s were I am at at this point in this horse race.
Oh yes, I can’t believe the level of sexism in this contest, and I never thought that there were so many misogynists in the country. After all, we all have, or had, mothers, all of whom are women, haven’t we? Do we all hate them that much? What is going on?
As to racism, as I see it, that wouldn’t have even been an issue had the Democrats run someone like Ret. Gen. Colin Powell, although I know nothing of HIS baggage.

Yavo Lem,

Obama ’08!
Posted by: Dipolomacy
========================================
Then you are certain to be quite disappointed with Obama, on the vanishingly small chance he will be nonimated. What a wuss! In my opinion, he would be the Neville Chamberlain of the Middle East, supplanting former President Carter.

This story does not state Hillary requested a debate; Univision did. In any case Obama will never do a debate because he can not debate issues or policy. He prefers sensationalizing his candidacy rather than standing on his knowledge, which is very lacking.

Bush and McCain are interchangeable as are Hillary and Obama. I don’t buy it that any true Democrat would be dumb enough and selfish enough to support a Bush-financed and Bush-endorsed McCain.

Sharie, if you are speaking of the half of the voters in Obama’s camp; then yes they too are voters. On the other, the Hillary half still wants her in because she is the candidate with the knowledge to lead us out of the Bush mess. Therefore, to speak of the voters in the Obama camp requesting her removal; that does come from Obama, his surrogates and his supporters. Hillary is OUR CHOICE ALL THE WAY. Stay in Hillary! From one of your millions of supporters; a voter….

There have already been 21 debates between Obama and Hillary, we have heard all we need to here. Hillary needs to stop whining.

What I find most extraordinary and astounding about dem primary ’08 is that junior senator from Illinois mounted an campaign to unseat the incumbents– former first lady Hill and former 8 year president Bill AND SUCCEEDED in breaking into and even disabling the Clinton Brand and Clinton Machine of years–Clinton stranglehold on the PARTY.
THE CLINTONS have double-teamed (with grown daughter tossed into the mix too) Barack Obama who campaigned solo north and south and east and west even to Puerto Rico–and came up SHORT!
OBAMA with Mrs. Obama occasionally on the trail for her husband but mostly at home with their daughters in this long campaign against the old brand Clinton successfully got the new Obama brand OUT THERE!
Early in the race The Clintons against Obama–South Carolina–the Clintons double-teamed Obamba so rabidly that Lion of the Senate Ted Kennedy told Bill to dial it down on Obama!
Talk about an unfair fight for the nomination POTUS dem party ’08 by THE CLINTONS who have come up very SHORT anyway.
When it is said that the People don’t want Hill–that is an super duper understatement of this so ugly ’08 primary made so ugly because an unknown young senator from Illinois mounted his campaign with superior Team Obama and whipped not just former first lady Hill but former 8 year president Bill AND their daughter.
WHEN BARACK OBAMA stepped into the ring with the TEAM BILL and HILL CLINTON He announced loudly to the political universe and the American people:
I’m the junior senator from Illinois–Chicago– AND yeah, I’m taking Hillary on– the CLINTONS — with a message for the People–
STAND FOR CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN truly after 8 Bush years!
QUESTION: Why ever is Hillary asking to debate Barack after having gone from inevitable to underdog to LOSER with metrics and DNC ’08 Rules Signed sealed delivered beginning of ’08 campaign?
Hillary’s pulling her bimbo persona in Puerto Rico for a debate just as she pulled bimbo persona in Sioux Falls at the end of the editorial interview:
“I don’t know, I don’t understand” to the Gender and Quit the race questions raised by EB to her! Hillary made faces, laughed, wrung her hands, complete bimbo act, to suggest an hard as nails woman as she can not be expected to understand or CONJECTURE why the media says the race is over.
Although she’s stoking “SEXISM” –”I don’t know” if Gender IS an issue, she said in Hillary’s worried pathetic bimbo voice to EB. And Bill’s now on the trail stoking the pity vote. . . an former President with former first lady in it to win IT or Veep by any means foul now–We got the right to get back to the WH, Americans, vote Hill…

Why should he waste his valuable time “debating” with this person who has lost all grasp of reality.
Im a WOMAN
Im Af-American
and I’m voting for Obama.
Obama/Webb 08

why would obama want to debate a has-been?

No more debates. 21 debates is plenty and we know what we need know regarding where the candidates stand on important issues.
Hillary just wants more attention so she can whine and blame.
Maybe she can write an Op-ed about why she signed and supported the DNC decision regarding Florida and Michigan when she was AHEAD. Now she wants to change the rules because she is behind. I believe some portion of the delegates should be seated, however, Hillary Clinton’s motives are purely selfish – she does not care about the voters in those states. Whine and Blame.

Why would Obama want to debate? Why, so that we can all witness the fact that he can’t debate since he has no grasp of issues and policy?

Hillary who?
stick a fork in her…….
As crazy as she is acting she won’t even hold her senate seat in the next election.

Obama is an empty-headed suit with no experience. His suppporters think he is some kind of god who can cure all ills with absolutely no ideas of how. If he is the nominee, it will become a joke to watch his empty head speak, as it already is in some situations. Hillary showed how poorly equipped he is in debates. There will be no debates with McCain, unless it is recorded then edited by the news media before being shown to the public. All of Obama’s speeches will be written, rehearsed, then given in elaborately staged venues to get the maximum Madison Avenue results. That is my forecast if he is the nominee.
Obama fans believe that his election as President is written in stone. The Democrats have some serious judgement calls to make. If Hillary is not the nominee, the rest of us will just wait for the rushing sound of “bitter, gun-clinging, religion-clinging, uneducated whites and working women” casting their votes for McCain, someone who really does have real experience and wisdom to be President.

hillary who?

Of the three Hillary actually has the least experience, unless you are giving her experience for Bill accomplishements. But personally if I needed a dentist I wouldn’t go the my Dentist’s wife for treatment.
The contest is over and has been for some time. Clintonites are in denial. The person who was the most disrespectful in the last year is Hillary. When you have her baggage it is the price you pay, on the flip side, without the Clinton name she wouldn’t even be in the race, so there was good and bad. She was in the race because her last name was Clinton but she lost because her last name was Clinton.
Personally I am a pro-life Democrat so overturning Roe V Wade is fine with me.

Brian
it is Hillarys right to take the nomination Obama in any calculus has not earned it… hes very second rate!

After 21 debates, I’m ready to move on. We already know about these two — pretty similar on issues, very different personalities.
If there’s going to be a debate, let’s make it Obama vs. McCain!

I suggest Y’ALL eat some humble pie if you really do want Obama to have a chance in the General Election.
This is the internet, for some time the republicans have been running a internet campaign, coming on here pretending to be Obama supporters and Hillary supporters saying things to PO the other side. Talk more to people in real life and take what is said on here with a grain of salt, it often isn’t coming from who they say they are. that is why the Clinton and Obama posts sometimes are obviously only meant to inflame the other side.

@Alma:
I’m inclined to agree with you. Hillary may well have lost the nomination. But that doesn’t mean that she, or her political supporters have nothing to gain from her carrying this through to the bitter end. Obama may be ahead in the delegate count, but his victory is far from compelling. Are we all supposed to pretend that it is?
By continuing her campaign, she ensures that the voices of her supporters will not be drowned out in the rush by some to annoint Obama. You think these voices should be ignored?
Well, then, good luck in the general election.
If Obama loses in the GE it will be for no other reason than he, and his proxies could not find a way to reach out to Hillary’s supporters. The fault will be his, and his alone.

@mike:
I suggest Y’ALL…
Well, I guess I was inflamed.:-) So, do take that earlier comment with a grain of salt. I could vote for either Hillary or Obama, but I am inflamed by theh gloating (or apparent gloating of some “Republican” feigned Obama supporters in sheep’s clothing). Personally, I’ve already moved on. I am certain that Obama will get the nod. So now the issue is how to unite the Democratic party (including Hillary’s supporters) to defeat McCain in the GE.
The gloating of “Diplomacy”, if such is indeed an Obama supporter, defeat that goal.

HILLARY WHO????
I seem to remember someone with that name.

@George:
As in GEORGE W. BUSH?
I seem to remember someone with that name. Oh yeah, the one in the history books, who will be remembered as THE WORST president in history. ;-)

@Alma:
I hardly make a post, and someone provides the evidence!
Read what Greg Jones has to say above immediately after may post. Those kinds of slanderous attacts are what are crazy, and will destroy the Democratic party. And they are coming from Obama’s “sane” supporters?

@Machiavelli
HILLARY WHO???

Hillary has already damaged herself and her legacy. The Clintons will fade into oblivion after November 4.

Anyone but the Clintons! Those of you who will vote for McCain, fine! Obama or McCain in the White House, not trash. Let the Clintons wallow in the mire of their mediocrity after the GE.

Incidentally,
I don’t think that HRC is remaining in the race to get the presidential nomination. She just wants to line up enough delegates to ensure that Obama won’t waltz away with the nomination without her say so.
She will come out of this with enough delegates to be the King Maker.
I doubt she wants to be VP. I’m not sure how she intends to use this power. But if she racks up enough delegates it will be real power. I’m sure she’ll think of something;-)

Why debate somebody you have already defeated?

Too bad… Hillary Clinton – NO MORE DEBATES – Stop making a mockery of our democracy…

Lets face it, Obama is not impressive at all in debates. Its because he doesn’t know the subject matter as well as his opponent. He has no substance.
Americans who jumped on the Obama bandwagon need to get off unless you want McCain to be the next president.

joaquin, I agree with you about taking a step back from the divisive bickering and seeking guidance from our faith and Jesus Christ.
Luke 11:17 A house divided against itself will fall.
Democrats, we do not want to fall at this critical time in our country’s history. There are serious problems to be addressed so our unity is essential. We cannot let pride stand in the way of doing the right thing. Too much is at stake.
Women (yes, I am a woman also), many are vowing not to vote for Mr. Obama because we are so determined it will be a woman or else we will make sure the opponent suffers. What is Christ-like about that attitude? Even if there was an opportunity for Mrs. Clinton in 2012, we would be expecting the many millions of Mr. Obama’s supporters to forgive/forget and vote for her. So are we going to be vindictive now and then expect them to be Christ-like in 2012? Anyone who is a Christian will know that position is totally wrong according to God’s word.
Now is the time to do the right thing according to God’s word, not our emotions. If not Hillary Clinton this time, God is more than able to raise up another woman in His own time and in His own way. We should be praying: not our will, but Thy (God’s) will be done. If we vote for Mr. McCain or not vote at all out of spite, our accountability will be to God and He will know our motives.
Keep in mind, Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton are both christians.

i thought obama won all the debates. if he didn’t, it just goes to show that news reporters aren’t in touch with their viewing public. common sense says that if we voted for obama, he won the debates overall. he’s winning, so… guess who won the debates. LOL LOL LOL
Obama ’08

Bill is right, He is the last great President our country had in office.I and people around the World want to see Hillary in the Oval office..
Barack is a nice enough guy, buyt how many Gaffes can a Presidential Nominee make..He is a great enough speaker to inspire us all but, he dosn’t have the experience and knowledge to be our President. I hear and i see everyone getting all fired up about CHANGE, well getting rid of Bush and the Republicans is what it’s about for this election.
That’s the big change needed NOW.
The eexperience and know how that goes with Hillary Clinton is what will make the change in November work..
Please don’t be led like lambs to the slaughter..

Cathy in Ks., you should certainly vote for McCain if you feel so strongly. I think you will appreciate the significant and ‘known’ assets that come with him: George Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Karl Rove, Ann Coulter and much more. You’ll also look forward to (to name a few):
- 100 year Wars; medical issues of the troops who return and broken families
- selection of supreme court justices who will overturn and set back women’s rights and equal pay for generations to come;
- tax breaks for the rich at the expense of low and middle income families;
- support CEO’s making millions in bonus and billions in profits (e.g. look at the oil companies);
- economic crisis;
- higher costs for education
The McCain in 2008 is very different than the more moderate McCain who ran in 2000 and his alliances are not with Democrats who cross over. Sure he will court the vote and then do exactly as Republicans do when in charge…look at the sad state of our great country in the last 7 years.
A Democrat who settles for any of the above, which are against core democratic principles, should seriously consider registering Republican (no disrespect intended, but it seems that party may be a better fit for you).

Why is Obama afraid to debate? Does he not know the answers???????
Obama is pathetic!

Oh he’s too scared to debate unless he has prior knowledge of the questions…besides, the Rezko jury deliberations end today, so who knows what will now surface.
What you fail to remember are the voters! Their right to have thier vote counted! They didn’t move the dates in FL & MI and yet they are penalised, yet it is ok for other states to move their dates…i think there is something wrong with that, don’t you? They voted for Hillary Clinton and those votes should be counted, as is!
You know it makes sense to have Hillary as the nominee.

Hillary and Obama could debate on who decided the states who voted in the primaries would be stripped on their delegates etc. Hillary back in Oct. help decide on that> Now they (Bill & Hillary ) are crying foul play. You cant change the rules of the games when things don’t go your way,

Hillary is out- McCain and Obama are in-Vote for McCain if you want war/death/poor economy to continue/high gas prices and more tax breaks for the super rich. Make sure all you scorned Hillary supports work real hard for McCain-but make sure when you leave the for the day-you have your bus card because you may not be able to pay for the high gas prices. Bush and McCain are twins-and Bush is a good old oil man.

“He understands people’s cultural differences just from proudly being of two races. He speaks highly of his late mother for whom he had great respect…it is ridiculous to say he is “anti-white” which someone had incorrectly said earlier.” HENRY
Henry, what PLANET are you living on?
Simply put, IF you HOPE to be the first POST RACIAL president, it’s probably prudent to NOT a write a book at 33 that is straight out of the Eldrich Cleaver playbook and says things like…
QUOTES FROM BARACK OBAMAS AUTOBIOGRAPHY, DREAMS OF MY FATHER:
“I knew…that traveling down the road to self-respect my own white blood
would never recede into mere abstraction.”
‘I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.
‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.”
“It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”
On attending Occidental College in Los Angeles:
“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs…It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”
“To admit our doubt and confusion to whites, to open up our psyches to general examination by those who had caused so much of the damage in the first place, seemed ludicrous, itself an expression of self-hatred…We were always playing on the white man’s court — by the white man’s rules. If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn’t. The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage.”
“That hate hadn’t gone away–”white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”
“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”
The “proudly biracial” Barack you speak of said of a black friend who had a white girlfriend:
“[Uncle] Tom was not a conscious brother.”
And yet of his mother’s preference for black partners and the white girl he dated for a year he says:
“The emotions between the races could never be pure; even love was tarnished
by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves.
Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race would always
remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.”
No WONDER Candidate Obama has a problem facing a strong mature accomplished…white woman
(and encourages his flock to revile her in the hateful obscene ways we see here!)
And the..presumed…democratic candidate has YET to explain THIS quote from his book to the American People:
‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
But no, there’s nothing LEFT to debate.
And FOR SURE I, a lifelong liberal democrat, am voting for…this guy.
(not)

gina
check into how your “honest” candidate took his senate seat away from a woman.
people don’t mention his past because they know little about him. he hasn’t even finished his first term and he has the gall to seek the presidency. he has given me no reason to vote for
him. he strikes me as vain, arrogant, inexperienced and pssibly delusional.
