Bill Clinton: ‘This May Be the Last Day I’m Ever Involved in a Campaign of This Kind’

It’s sad to see how Howard Dean ruined this primary. Democratic party resembles communist party with super eliteS deciding the fate of the nation.
Obamas is not ready to lead, he is too rookie and full of Gaffes….visit this blog that is dedicated to Obamas Gaffe machine

Makes people wonder how much longer it will take for them to realize that they LOST! Goodbye and good riddance to the WORST political couple on our planet! The rotten tactics used against an opponent of your own party will go down in history. The excuses they have had to make all during this campaign are disgusting and so many of us can’t wait for them to leave – leave already!

Bravo, now let’s get on with the general election and uniting the democratic party. This is very disturbing to most Americans. Your campaign has been very strong but to keep threatening to bring the results of the DNC to yet another process is NOT in the best interest of the American people. I think doing so will result in the complete destruction of the Clinton era.
This is campaign no longer a reasonable fight it has become nasty and older women are fighting a battle that is noble, but to keep suggesting that someone is stealing votes for the Clinton’s is totally absurd, not to mention dividing the democratic party along gender, etchnicity and religious lines.
The current DNC committee was built by Bill Clinton. Time to end this nasty battle.
Super delegates please step up and vote one way or the other.
Like a race horse that breaks it’s leg they have to put down as a humane thing to do??? Something has got to give TUESDAY June 3rd. I switched my vote from Clinton to support OBAMA 2008.

Frieda,
Howard Dean did not make the rules of the Democratic primary race!
Where do you people get this stuff?

In every presidential election they have won, the Democrats have solidified their historic link to white workers, not dismissed them. Obama and the champions of a new party coalition appear to think that everything has suddenly changed, simply because of the force of their own desires. In any event, Obama had shown no ability thus far to attract the one constituency that has always spelled the difference between victory and defeat for the Democratic Party. The party must now decide whether to go along with Obama and renounce its own heritage — and tempt the political fates.

The Barack Obama campaign and its sympathizers have begun to articulate much more clearly what they mean by their vague slogan of “change” – nothing less than usurping the historic Democratic Party, dating back to the age of Andrew Jackson, by rejecting its historic electoral core: white workers and rural dwellers in the Middle Atlantic and border states.
Without a majority of those voters, the Democrats have, since the party’s inception in the 1820s, been incapable of winning the presidency. The Obama advocates declare, though, that we have entered an entirely new political era. It is not only possible but also desirable, they say, for Democrats to win by turning away from those whom “progressive” pundits and bloggers disdain variously as “Nascar man,” “uneducated,” “low information” whites, “rubes, fools, and hate-mongers” who live in the nation’s “shitholes.”
Having attempted, with the aid of a complicit news media, to brand Hillary Clinton as a racist — by flinging charges that, as the historian Michael Lind has shown, belong “in black helicopter/grassy knoll territory,” Obama’s supporters now fiercely claim that Clinton’s white working class following is also essentially racist. Favoring the buzzword language of the academic left, tinged by persistent, discredited New Left and black nationalist theories about working-class “white skin privilege,” a vote against Obama has become, according to his fervent followers, “a vote for whiteness.”

Bill Clinton: ‘This May Be the Last Day I’m Ever Involved in a Campaign of This Kind’
From your lips to God’s ears, Bill!!!!!!
PLEASE!!

You Promise

Angie, Hillary did not rip the party to pieces. The DNC, with Dean, Pelosi, Kerry, and Kennedy did, along with the “StupidDelegates”. Quit drinking your Kool Aid now and face reality….Obama will NEVER win the GE!

I am interested in the tone of the Clinton campaign right now. Some of the campaign are still making very bullish noises but then every now and again someone says something along these lines. I think the Clinton campaign does know its losing but wants to end strongly for whatever reason. Whether its to give her more leverage for the VP slot or to launch a future run I don’t know.
I do wonder mind why she seems prepared to risk all for 2008. Does she have private polling that shows Obama winning ’08 and therefore knows she isn’t going to get to run until 2016, when she would be nearing on 70, so perhaps she realises this is her one shot?

Just like it took the Florida recount fiasco to show the nation how messed up the mechanics of voting were, I hope this primary season shows the Dems how messed up their selection process is.
Dems need to fix this primary mess before the next election cycle!!

THIS IS CALLED FOOD FOR THE REPUBLICANS – In his statement about leaving the church Obama defended it, said it was not anti-white or anti-American, and said he was doing it to protect the church from further scrutingy. No apology, no rejection. So how does this “solve his problem”?
http://www.charlotte.com/171/story/648439.html

jack…why are you blaming anyone but HRC; Flordia and Mi…? They broke the rules….stop whinning….if I break the law I go to jail…

How can you people say mccain will win. The guy is OLD. JOhn Murtha the real “Straight-Talker” said that being president is no job for an OLD guy. The guy will be dragging loooong bush coattails. I thought it was really funny that no cameras were allowed in for the bush/mccain fundraiser. Voters will realize that this country can NOT afford another bush term. Obama 2008 will be Great!!!

Well, there’s really nothing of surprise here. In a totally unveiled fashion, Slick is letting everybody know that he has no intention of actually campaigning for Obama. This, of course, goes against what he’s stated on many, many occasions — that both he and HRC would campaign vigorously for whoever the Democratic nominee would be. I guess what he should have said is that he would campaign for whoever the candidate would be, as long as that candidate’s last name was Clinton. As with everything else Slick and HRC have done in this campaign, they have pretty much acted according to the Clinton script.

Lou…you’re a jerk….I hope you loose your home, your kids end up in Iraq, and you cannot afford to drive your car!
You are NOT a Dem if you would do that. And the reason Hillary is loosong is her own selfishness in this race. her campaign is a shambles.

The world of bias, bigotry and divisiveness is very large in this country. We are on stage at this very moment to see if we have learned from the past (ours, other countries, etc) that we are more alike than we are different, and that in transcending those differences, we can bring about healing: local and global. It saddens me that we have grown so little over such a long time.

Amen formerhillary. Do I really want a President with no plan on how to wage a campaign after 2/5? We already have a President who has no long-term strategic thought and we don’t need another.
Hillary lost for one reason only, her candidacy was flawed in its design and execution. When they found an approach that worked, it was too late. She did not lose because she’s a woman.

When you use the word “may”, your sentence does not mean anything. Eight years of painful waiting, 3,000 days of manipulative planning…all are in vain now. But you still have plenty of beautiful stuff out there. Unless Hillary has more time to watch you now.

Richard
you are wrong … Obama never had a plan he will be humiliated weighed measured and destroyed in November!

It’s no coincidence that the dirtier and uglier Hillary got in this campaign the more the super delegates flocked to Obama.

What I find amusing is that the Obamabots just automatcally think this clown, Obama, will actually become President! Obamabots, you are so dillusional…….the GOP loves what has happened to the Democratic party, the division, the fighting, the backbiting…..I think it’s great! Regardless if Hillary is the nominee or Sodama, McCain will prevail in November. Lets see, as an American, would I be more inclined to vote for a proven war hero, who has served our country with fortitude, honor, and respect…..or, would I support a Muslim raised racist, who actually hates America, has never served a day in the armed forces, who lies and who has a wife that admittedly in public said she hates America. Sorry, Obamabots, its over……Obama will NEVER become President. McCain 08!

Sarah
as well the shouldnt campaign for Obama… the need for the best candidate outweighs party loyalty I guarantee you… we will not be railroaded!

Wow. Who woke Slick Willie up!!
Oh, and Billy boy, this is past the last time many of us will think fondly of you. Myself, I hate racists, and liars, and rapists, etc.

Carpe Diem
you are right… Obama has seized nothign more than a big chip on his shoulder and needs to go to vegas to play it when he gets blown out in november! perhaps by Hillary!

Good now he can go climb back on that friend’s big plane and go on about his business of selling out the American people and diddling around on his wife without the public being privy to his antics.
GOOD RIDDENCE!

obviously you have never lived in a communist country. anybody who has- knows how neo-conservatism and neo communist are virtually the same thing. I suggest you travel. best of luck.

Robert White if this doesnt end the traditional Democratic party it will in November afeter we demand that Speaker pelosi step down and the fearless folowers start their own party way from centrist democrats!

PUT HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON WHERE THEY BLONG IN PRISON THEY ARE CRIMINALS THEY HAVE A HOLE LOT OF FELONYS AGAINST THEM
IF YOU DID WHAT THEY DID THEY WOULD PUT YOU UNDER THE PRISON DONT PUT CRIMINALS IN THE WHITE HOUSE GO TO AMAZON.COM AND GET HILLARY UNCENSORED DVD SEE FOR SELF

He is one of the many people she has surrounded herself with that have dragged her down. Seems she has quite a few like him running her show. No small wonder she failed.

Bison, not getting any money for posts….just stating facts…..it would be wise if you realized what the facts are….McCain will trounce Sodama!
McCain 08!

If Hillary can’t get a majority of her own party, she’s not going to get a majority of the general public. Period.
And the stuff she and Bill have done since leaving the WH is just NOW beginning to be vetted by the MSM (now that the press is no longer intimidated by another Clinton presidency).
Hillary’s campaign against a virtual unknown was a disaster. What makes any rational person think that she’d win over an established brand like McCain?
Hillary’s only hope now is based on inflaming her supporters passions and not in anything rational or reasonable. (And she’s shown us that’s how she’d govern.)
Hillary supporters, it’s time to get real. Hillary (with a lot of help from you) has turned even MORE of the electorate against her and so has done this to HERSELF.
The race is done. The winner’s known. And good riddance to the losers!

Jesus
well funny you say that because Obama axelrod et all are using the Chicago machine to clone Bush and it will be as elitist and protecting of big interests as Bush was like say for the insurance industry!

Boy, can’t make a simple statements without the Obama people and their gutter mouth come arunning.

What many of you Obama supporters don’t understand is that we don’t like Obama. Hillary didn’t create Obama’s problems. He is the one who is responsible for his actions. Your attitude will only lose you more votes.

HEY JACK SHE IS RIPPING UP THE PARTY BY NOT ACCEPTING HER LOST AND SUPPORT OBAMA AS FOR KOOLAID MY SIR YOU NEED TO WAKE UP FROM HILLARYS BRAIN WASHING OBAMA WILL WIN GE YES WE CAN YES WE CAN YES WE WILL FACE IT CLINTONS DONE!!!!

douglas
regardless of what happens to Hillary.. President Clinton will become the next Denator from NY and being a former pres wil immediatly outrank .. the meek leader Harry Reid… John Q Adams did it! Hillary doesnt want to remain a senator whether she forces Obama to put her on the ticket or not… the rancid Obamabots can definitely put that in their pipe and smoke it!

sarah
you will reap the wirlwind for your discipleship to Obama and you deserve it!

Hillary lost. More comments trying to somehow blame it on Obama. Whatever.
For people who claim to be such “centrist Democrats” and “Reagan Democrats” you Clinton supporters sure have a lot of trouble just assuming responsibility.
Face it: she lost. And if you thought she was going to win and were so wrong, what makes you think you’re not wrong about Obama losing in the Fall again? No, no, I know this time you’re REALLY SURE you’re right. Right?

Don’t let the door hit you on the back side on the way out the door.

I have a question: Where do you think the Clintons will go when this is done? They almost HAVE to put in at least what passes as an effort for the party, or they give up all their vouchers and favors. She will be returning to her Senate seat, and if she wants ANY support in the future, she will have to play some ball, too. Now, you voters can hold grudges and blurt out whatever you like now, but if your heart is really telling you that you can’t pick someone you may not like, but intends to do 95% of the same things that your choice would have done; and you will select someone who has NO intention to address 80% of the things that really effect you…I am glad that my passport is current.

On to Denver! You guys are so inspirational and Hillary will win it all, because of your focus and heart. She’s the leader we need and the leader America deserves. We’re witnessing a nomination theft between Obama, the DNC and the MSM. Hillary… all the way to the White House as President!!!!

Goodby and good riddance.We knew you weren’t going to be a team player and help campaign for Obama and based on what you did for Hillary, it is a blessing in disquise. I am sure you will be occupied with your investments in Dubai and other personal matters, which shall remain undisclosed as you have in the past. Next book “Clintons, Axis of evil”

Name Withheld…….you are such a farce! Nothing racial here….people of all color are Muslim…..maybe, you’re the racist with this line of thinking! The fact is, Sodama will be the nominee (YEA!), and it will be an EASY win for McCain in the fall because Sodama is such a WEAK candidate! If I were you, I would rethink my support of Sodama for a true American, John McCain…..or Hillary Clinton…..or Ralph Nader….any of the three are honored Americans…..Barry Obama, should go back to his homeland (Africa) and run for office…America and Americans don’t want him…..you will see the night of November 4th!

NEVER OBAMA. After the democratic parties stupdity during this primary. I will now and forever more be a
REPUBLICAN. Obama supporters are not to bright. Tell us all what Obama has ever achieved besides his political aspirations. Nothing

As much as many of you think that Hillary can win the general election as an independent – it will not happen. There will not be ebough support OR money. She has barely scraped by the primary process, and is still in the red. Even if every last Hillary voter wrote her in, she would still lose. Remember, this is a GENERAL election. She will not win.
Now is when the real show begins – we will have a Nader situation again, pulling votes away someone who actually has a shot at winning.
I have my doubts about Obama, but I have already accepted that Hillary will not win the nomination, but there is NO WAY IN HELL I will support McCain. I cannot be a part of this lie that is “Iraqi Freedom”. Nevermind the economics, the freedom of choice.. I could go on and on and on…
I’ll take my chances with Obama.

hillary and mccain are two faces of same coin……these two depend on the influence and money of the lobbyists….the only person whos different is obama….he came from nowhere and clinched nomination….iam sure he will win the general election……….the so called hillary supporters are fools….i dont understand how can people support such a selfish women…

People LOVE IT when Holocaust victims are diminished for cheap political gain
exactly. or used to ingratiate themselves with a specific block of voters.
this jew, who lost cousins in that holocaust, will never vote for a man associated with farrakhan and wright.
JEWS DEMOCRATS FOR MC CAIN
Posted by: Frankie | Jun 2, 2008 1:40:15 PM
I’m a JEW who is for OBAMA. IN fact, most Jews who are *educated* are also for Obama…. why? because we have the brain power to understand that Obama does NOT equal Farakkan or Wright. Perhaps you missed those repudiations of Wright? We also understand that Obama has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Holocaust. How old was Obama during the Holocaust?
BTW, most of my family was killed during the Holocaust and those that remained fled to the US to start new lives… away from the family they lost and the possessions they had. So don’t go telling me about your story that you lost cousins…

Thanks Bill, now get the hell out of the way please.

Excuse me, Richard McCabe, can I add one more to your list of reasons Hillary Clinton lost the primary? How about – she’s not qualified to be President of the United States?

To tell you the truth I really don’t think of the Democratic party as my party anymore. This primary season has been quite a revelation to me. I have begun questioning many long – held beliefs that I have had about the party.
I always saw the Republicans as the bad guys in the black hats and the Democrats as the good guys in the white hats. I was raised in a politically active Democratic family and first volunteered to work for the party at age 8.
For me the Democratic party was the party that believed in social justice – for minorities, women, gays, the poor, the sick, the elderly, all disenfranchised and marginalized people. It was the party that believed in compassion toward one’s fellow man/woman.
Now that I look at the party, I no longer recognize it. I plan to vote for McCain in November if Obama is the nominee but I seriously doubt I will ever feel at home with the Republican party.

atif
dont even go on about lobbyists.. Obamas over a million donors is a facade to his lobbysist money startign with the insurance industry which is why he wont do universal healthcare!

So late in the stage of the nomination, the result of the PR primary is a strong testament that BO can’t get Hispanic vote.

———————
You left out the majority of states, the majority of pledged delegates, the majority of super delegates, and the majority of democratic voters. (No one is buying Hillary’s contrived way of tabulating popular votes)
Man, seems like almost everyone is involved in the “theft”. It seems more likely that that Hillary simply lost.

You Obama haters have eight years to get over it.
And you McCain supporters, get ready for a landslide defeat in November.

I wanted to vote for Hillary, but alas I was not given the opportunity. I do not want to vote for John McCain either. But I will vote against Barack Obama. So will most of the Hillary supporters and the republicans. It’s not a vote for McCain, it’s a vote against Barack. I don’t vote party – I vote with my conscience, Barack isn’t ready, and I don’t want more of what we have now. Better the devil you know! Barack scares me. I’ll stick with McCain unless Hillary can pull out a nomination. And please, let go of the “yes we can” – seems like it should be “yes we can destroy the country”!

What’s being overlooked in light of this startling admission is that Clinton is as much admitting defeat as he is making it apparent that he’s not going to campaign for Senator Obama…am I alone in feeling upset about this? I don’t care how much you hate the Clintons- every democrat should be out there leading up to the General to ensure that we don’t get 4 years of more of the same.

Kravits
you must not have been around in 92… Im not saying she will but Hillary still can run as an indpendant and win with less than 50 perce3nt… it will go against popular wil but you will have to accept it!

Did you guys see those HRC supporters acting like retards. I swear I tivo’d it, me and my wife had a few beers and we sat down and just laughed. Way to funny, my wife even made fun of them and she is (was) a HRC supporter (but sees and understands reality – she is voting Obama because he is much better than McSame). Them b-i-t-c-h-e-s and h-o-m-o’s were acting all types of retard. Yelling and screaming and acting like the world has come to an end. It did show that HRC supporters have no shame, no morals, and has actually disrespected and hurt HRC but showing the rest of the nation (DNC included) that her supporters are emotionally unstable, arrogant, can’t follow rules (or at least dont believe in rules set in place by mostly HRC supporters by the way), and just plain stupid. And if the GE is lost because of the retards, then guess what, no more Clintons, and by all means HRC is done!

Two contestants have ended up very close at the end of this process. Both contestants can win in the fall. That is why it must hurt very much to be the one who lost by a nose. All of us can second guess the process. Certainly those who favored the loser are going to be bitter for a while. But in the end the most important thing is that they shake hands and the Dems win in November! We have so much work to do on the economy, healthcare, and ending this horrendous and unnecessary war that has caused suffering to millions of people. Hopefully, the fight within the Democratic party is drawing to a close and we can be the stronger for it, to take on McCain.

The democratic party in the end has turned out to be the most undemocratic.Hillary has clearly won the popular vote and the party’s strange delegate rules where every voter is not the same is unbelievable.Hillary also wins the electoral college handidly.What a shame democrats.Let all real democrats unite,it is Hillary as an independent or McCain.

I believe that all the posters here who claim to be Hillary supporters are just worthless republican trolls, they sure sound like it. If not then they are ignorant racist fools who are acting like lil widdy biddy children who were denied something they thought was theirs. Its time for adults to run this country. She didnt win, period! He ran a better campaign, period! And what your Hillary supporters dont realize is that many people dont like her or the way she has carried herself lately. And if your a brainless twit that parrots the ol muslim thing, their god or your god doesnt matter, keep your gods out of government. And for you women who will vote for McCain, you will get what you deserve and what you are asking for, so why dont you just shut up now and cook something, thats all the repubs think your good for.
Grow up, its time for a positive change. Help or get out of the way.

Fight on Hillary! Waste your money. You are used to power and it must really feel different to lose. “People that haven’t grown accustomed to losing don’t know when to quit”. Let me give some advice to Hillary and President Clinton. When the fight is over and you have lost, to keep fighting is stupid. The referee called the fight weeks ago. You went down fighting, but you went down.

You Will Not Be Missed.

I am an Obama supporter, but I think the Clinton’s deserve a lot of respect. They continue to represent the Democratic party well, and will continue to do so. The Clinton’s have waged a tough, hard-fought campaign; and Obama is all the better for it. He is ready for the GE because he faced such a good fight and a good candidate in Hillary Clinton. He won this campaign fair and sqaure and now takes on the very damaged Republican party, including McCain

LISTEN HILL BRAINWASED WOMAN OBAMA DID NOT STEAL ANYTHING HE EARNED IT HILLARY GOT WHAT SHE WANTED AND THEN SOME ON SATURDAYS DECISION NOT THAT SHE DESERVED IT WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GONNA WAKE UP TO THIS WOMAN SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AMERICA THE PARTY NOTHING THE ONLY THING SHES EVER CARE ABOUT IS BECOMING THE FIRST WOMAN POTUS NOW THINK ABOUT THIS IF SHE CARED SHE HAS THE POWER NOW TO UNITE THE PARTY AND SHES NOT SO ALL OF YOU NOT VOTTING FOR OBAMA DONT VOTE MCCAIN AND MAKE THE REST OF US SUFFER JUST STAY HOME ON VOTING DAY RATHER THAN KILL MORE PEOPLE IN IRAQ AND REALLY SINK THIS COUNTRY INTO HELL DO US ALL A FAVOR STAY HOME IN NOV

Guess who worked hard for the McGovern campaign in 1972? That would be Hillary and Bill Clinton. Why didn’t they go out screaming for Huber Humphrey, the real winner!

Geraldine Ferraro is an honored member of the Democratic party.
I LOVED it when she spoke truth to power; especially when Obama had already admitted as much.
“In winning the Democratic Senate primary in Illinois, Obama drew as many as two white votes for every black one, showing nearly unprecedented crossover appeal for a black candidate in a statewide race.
Obama acknowledges, with no small irony, that he benefits from his race.
If he were white, he once bluntly noted, he would simply be one of nine freshmen senators, almost certainly without a multimillion-dollar book deal and a shred of celebrity. Or would he have been elected at all?”

I wish he would sign an oath never to campaign again, but I expect we will hear from him again in 2012, or perhaps when his daughter runs for office.
Of course his current admission is only a play for sympathy. Poor Bill.

Wanna bet where we are four years from now? Same ole; same ole. Just more broke!

Sara – Why would ANYBODY want Billy out there campaigning for them after his performance for Hillary so far?
As much as all the other negatives Hillary brings to the table, Billy is a huge reason why Hillary will not be on the ticket. If you want Obama to be President, you want to put a whole lotta real estate between him and Billy.

rd – why would any sane democrat want to unite with such a hateful bunch? Obama and his supporters have viciously attacked Hillary with unprecedented mud sling and character assignation. It was all personal and had nothing to do with issues that democrats have long held proud.
Do you think the hate will be forgotten?

Get real. Dean no more had anything to do with the primary schedule than Mickey Mouse. In the end, rules are rules for a reason. Even though this fact has not dawned on all things Clinton, guess who is going to foot all the bills and debt Clinton now has because she obviously can’t read the writing on the wall no matter how bold-faced, florescent, flashing or how loud doom music plays?
If any democrat votes for a republican instead for Obama (the only candidate who has prevailed in delegate count and has played by the rules…how refreshing imagine that)obviously has no party loyalty whatsoever.
Those two Clintons disgust me so much. Enough of them. Let’s get down to business and get this country back on track. Remember health care, remember immigration, remember foreign affairs….

Most of the responses on here act as though the 3 remaining mainstream canidates are on American Idol instead of running for President! And instead of talking on the virtues of their respective canidate are compelled to attack the others? All are seemingly proud Americans who wish to serve their country.

Must not have gone the way he wanted.

Didn’t Hiliary run the whitehouse???? so why put her back? Seriously now people, So vote for someone you know that hasn’t been in the whitehouse before

You guys are stupid you act like they have no clue as to what they are doing. They more than do. Hillary could not have had it both ways keep her husband and the nomination. Has no none noticed her nose dive did not occur until after Bill made stupid racial comments in S Carolina? DNC party members were willing to give her a pass on BC until he did something or said something stupid. Can’t you imagine Bill having free reign over interns in the White House and none of the responsibility (whether you admit it or not we know he is a man-whore)First Man or not.
As far as Obama being too young. Really? How about McCain being too old? Does he even know he is running somebody wake him up and ask him. The Constitution says Obama is old enough. Enough said.
Obamas baggage. Are you kidding me? All of you Clinton supporters need to do a wiki check on the Whitewater fiasco and then start working your way up to Bills sexual exploitations that continue up until now and all you can talk about is his church. Please. Hillary wishes she had his baggage, heck even she said as much.
The DNC did not cheat it put on a band-aid Saturday simply because what they should have done in the beginning is have the candidates names pulled from the ballots in those state primaries when they occurred since according to the DNC, Hillary and Obama they were not supposed to count anyway. That way you split it 50-50 full strength, the delegates would have been seated at full strength and you still punish the states by making the primaries a non issue for voting early. Surprisingly no has said anything about the other candidates on the ticket but I guess we will live with that their votes definitely won’t get counted.
Finally, I will leave you with this; Bill Parcells a great football coach said something to the effect, “At the end of the season when you reflect back and look at your record you are what you are. No more No less”.
We all need to think about that. Lets Heal, Lets win. Lets kick McCains butt. “Dems in 08”

We’ve seen the media find every conceivable way to rally around BO and explain away his scandals, bringing out poll after poll that “it didn’t hurt BO.”
A friend of mine said, an indictment would do it (or threat of one) since you cannot elect someone who has been indicted, but that will be something that the Feds would have to do.

michelien
everyone I talked to that are real people not the obamabots on here say that she will go to the convention and have real power!

What a pitiful bunch of jokers you ignorant, anti-Obama folks are! You are the types that make me and the Michele Obama’s out there ashamed of this country. Once you get your quotes and facts right…you might actually have an audience.
Al from San Francisco…loved your statement about the intelligent people…problem is intelligent people in this country appear to be in the minority. Why, even a dishonest, fool of an unintelligent person can get to be president and ruin a country’s image, economy and credibility.
Newera…rock on!! Know that I was a Hilary fan, until…now it’s Obama all the way!!

GOOD BY BILL ! GET YOURSELF A FEW CASES OF CUBANO AND KNOCK YOURSELF OUT. YOU TRY VERY HARD TO MAKE IT UP TO HILLARY,
AT THE END OF THE RACE YOU ARE JUST LIKE ONE OF US – YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOOSE SOME – WE ARE PROUD OF YOU – COME AND HELP THE DEMOCRATS TAKE ON THE GOP. Sincerely, Lake Hart, a Native American Writer.

RD:
It’s not about unity with Obama, it’s about how you want this nation to be governed for the next 4 years.
There are as many as 4 Supreme Court justices close to stepping down. Do you want McCain to appoint at least 2 new members? Or a Dem. appointing 4 who could serve until 2030-2050? Maybe all 4–or even more–if a republican ends up in the WH for the next 8 years.
Do you want kids to go without health care?
Do you want to keep spending $100 billion/year on a war in Iraq?
Do you want a new war in Iran?
Exactly what did Obama do that was so unfair to Hillary?
She said McCain was more qualified to be Pres. than he was. What is worse than that? How’s that for Party loyalty?
Sexism in the media isn’t Obama’s fault. Like racism didn’t hurt Obama? We have data on that-—where’s the data that shows sexism hurt Hillary at the voting booth?
Hillary finished a very, very close 2nd to getting the nomination of a major party. How many more delegates would she need to make you & others like you happy? Would the 5% switch in delegate totals be enough to make you happy? To demonstrate that sexism wasn’t a big issue? If sexism was very significant in terms of voting, how did she come so close to getting the nomination? So close despite being the first major female Pres candidate?
She lost. That’s it. Her campaign was poorly run. She joins hundreds of other candidates for nominations and Pres. to lose.
Don’t bite off your nose to spite your face.

Rookie or not Obama has to be given credit for running a state of the art campaign, not funded by special interests, against the most powerful Dems in Washington. With that said the Rookie Obama will WIN against McCain as well and run a better white house than the experienced, spoon in the mouth Bushes who managed to send America into the toilet fighting a hopeless war, facing a failing economy, and counting more enemies than we have friends. And Obama ran his campaign without ever having to stoop so low as uttering the word assassination. So now how do you like that rookie???? Point in case, we are fired up and ready to go!!! Obama’08.

Don’t worry Bill, the time off will give you and “Little Bill” some much needed quality time with the ladies.

From the beginning, there has only been one next president of the United States and that is the individual who has continued to display his innate grace, intelligence, goodness, class, and desire to serve the American people: Senator Barack O’bama.

Notice: Bill always leaves wiggle room. He will campaign again, count on it!

Go ahead and think what you want Paul, but you are very wrong. I have never voted anything but a straight democratic ticket. I will not vote for Obama and as a protest I am reregistering. It is a sad time for me, but it gives me peace.

Josephm20 – I don’t think there was any good solution that wouldn’t have made someone mad, but since you admit it wouldn’t have made any difference to the outcome, I guess I don’t see it as quite as dramatic as you do. Death knell? The Democrats are set to sweep in November, so I wouldn;t call it a death knell quite yet..

RD, you idiot, Michelle Obama wasn’t even born when the Black Panters were around.

Notice the “Obama supporters” comments, just about all of them are nasty and ridiculous. Looks like Obama pulls in trash for support. It is quite sad.

Poor Bill, guess you have to back to lobbying and making 1hr, 100 thousand dollar speeches to foreign countries. Thanks for serving our country former President Clinton, now you and your wife deserve that long vacation. Don’t forget to unite the Democrats.

ah has there ever been a felon innuagurated I think not!

I tip my hat to both candidates who do seem to come to the campaign from different backgrounds.
It does irritate me a bit though that we have seemed to misplace our heritage and understanding of how the country is run by this infighting at the very end. No matter what is said on TV by either candidate or talking-head, nor on-line by either the ranters or the bloggers, let it be known that the people do not “elect” a candidate – they elect a president from a set of candidates. The two major parties have established basic rules where they select the candidate to run for the potential to be elected by the people in November. These rules allow for primaries – but the fact of the matter is for both parties, it is still a party decision. One may think of the primaries as a giant “poll” to whereby they attempt to determine what the country wants or needs. No party has been faced with the challenge of two qualified, highly valued candidates going down the stretch. I think this has opened a dialogue for this country. As for the bashing of one party by the other – the two major parties are much closer than most people realize, and our adversaries (politically speaking) end up being our friends (recall that Jefferson and Adams became very good friends late in life although in the early days of the country they dispised each other.
One last thought, as for Obama and the church bashing – I do not recall him asking his church to be brought into the spotlight. The national media has done that without invitation – and if you truly ask the media to consider why they are doing so (examples abound for all candidates), you will see that journalistic integrity is not what it once was – and that drama sells stories to us, the consumer. The media at this point in time is far worse than it was in the days of Pullitizer and Hurst and the Yellow Press.

Yeah I love it, not only did the CLinton’s lose but they will be blamed for the Dems losing in November and be blamed for the overturn of Roe v. Wade. HAHAHA We orchestrated the whole thing, we kept her in the race, she won Ind and Tex and a few other states because of us, dragging it out, splitting the party and making her loss even more bitter. You Dems are such losers.
If she goes Ind, she will be even more embarrassed because she will come in third and be an outcast. The CLinton’s are finally dead. Ding dong the witch is dead oops mispelling….. I can’t believe how stupid a lot of Democrats are, you will never win the White House. We will win in 2012 also (please I hope she runs again) because half the party won’t vote for her, she will never win the White House now, she made herself look insane. The great right wing conspiracy has beaten the Clintons.
I would love to see the baby killing law overturned and even the feminists blame Hillary. There name is mud, hated by Republicans and Independants and now over half the Democrats. It is like Christmas morn.

you can profess to have met the clintons and worked for them.. I in fact have and Sen Clinton would not be still in the race if Obama could winin Nov… case closed!

My teen-age son saw the Father Freakshow sermon video minutes ago on You-Tube for the first time.
It really bothered him. Besides the Priest just being plan creepy, my son put in very good words…he said, it was watching a women getting beat-up by a man, and the crowd cheers him on. This is coming from a 17 year old boy.
Yet, Obama doesn’t acknowledge it. He and the DNC is clueless of the impact that the Father Freakshow tape is having on people. How can they think we’ll ever vote for him, after seeing that on top of everything else?

Note to the stalwart Clinton supporters…GO ahead, reregister, vote McCain or whatever…Go forth NOSE=LESS but would advise you to review that in most substance, there is LITTLE difference in the Obama / Clinton “positions” on matters that SUPPOSEDLY are held dear by the Dems. You want to cite HIS inexperience, review Hillary’s actual experience and the actual FRUITS SHE HAS BORN of her efforts to date. Note too the shabby , incompetent campaign in comparison to the well functioning and WINNING camapaign of Obama’s to date and note just who DID NOT CLOSE THE SALE….ie, THE CLINTONS DID NOT CLOSE THE SALE !!!
Make your choice, whine on and on or whatever or perhaps “capre diem” and seize the opportunity we ALL have to move forward and remove the shackles of the OLD STYLE POLITICS and yeah, that does mean the Clintons and their campers are regulated to full demotion and DO NOT RULE !!! Their innate arrogancy brought them down yet they whine it was OTHERS faultings, not their own…TIME FOR THE CLINTONS TO GO FOLKS…time for a new guard to emerge from this purge !!!

S, are you kidding re:
“Obama and his supporters have viciously attacked Hillary with unprecedented mud sling and character assignation (sic).”
Like what? Obam was criticized for NOT being tough *enough*. How does that reconcile wiht running a too tough, too negative campign?
She staretd running a sleazy campaign once she was behind. She stopped talking about the issues. He was avoiding the personal stuff until her camp’s slime started taking up too much attention for him to ignore.
She debased this campign, and the whoile process by her abandonment of principles in favor of the ends-justifies-the-means ethics.

I still can’t understand why so many people are so upset about the primaries. I would vote for Obama or Clinton, they’re both good.

Bill will not compaign anymore. It’s the wisest decision he’d ever made. Every one he campaigned for loses their election.
God bless Obama.

But Brazile says the superdelegate vote “should reflect the will of the people.”
We all need to e-mail the Brazil nut and throw her lying, hypocritical words back in her face, along with her promise to EXIT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY if SDs decided the nomination.
Lie much, Donna? Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out!

When you do a cut and paste job from other sources and use it as your own words, you’d do better to have your facts straight. It’s called due diligence. Andrew Jackson was not only a slave owner, but a slave trader and yes, a racist.
The further we can move from his example, the better!

What an irony! Apparently tomorrow Obama is going to speak at the same venue where Walter Mondale spoke to his supporters after losing 49 states in the 1984 general election to Reagan. Some times one gets the impression, Obama and his supporters are ONLY interested in winning the nomination and not the general election. There are 3 major hrudles/ realities that make a McCain landslide in November nearly certain: ===(1) Obama had a strategy for the dem primaries- this mainly based on amassing (USELESS) Caucus voctories and amassing delegates. 90% AA voted for him. NONE OF THIS IS GOING TO HELP HIM FOR THE GE === (2) He has thoroughly antagonized very large sections of dem base- women, working calss whites- with his nasty campaign and dirty tricks. Thus HE IS THE WEAKEST OF THE THREE when it comes to electoral college chances. (3) There’s no way he’ll survive the repub attack machine. They have plenty of ammunition. Obama’s dirty tricks in demonizing Bill and Hillary might have worked for the dem primaries, not going to work for the GE.

Its over doesn’t any one get it.

I think I will miss the Clintons. I really love them both! I would still love to see Hilary at the WHITE HOUSE again! They’re both important to this government. I get offended by the disgusting remarks putting them down. Makes me think they’re republicans.

Frieda, please. To say that the superdelegates are stealing this is about as ludicrous as the things that have flown out of the people’s mouths in ALL of the campaigns. Obama is ahead in both popular vote and delegate count. This is NOT the superdelegates taking it away. It was a close race, there is no doubt. And inasmuch as inconsistencies between parties and the way in which they campaigned, specifically in speaking of Florida and Michigan and making out that Barack has been unfairly given some advantage out of this, put that in perspective when you consider that both candidates agreed NOT to campaign in Florida after they broke the DNC rules by moving their primary…but Hillary did anyway. ALL of the democratic contenders EXCEPT Hillary removed their name from the ballot in Michigan, leaving only her name, so that’s all the Michigan voters had offered to them…and that doesn’t sound like a communist party ticket?? This is as fair as it could have been – hotly contested, no doubt. But it’s been fair. And coming into the home stretch, it’s likely to be even more close than imagined. But in the end, Obama won.

This nomination was Hillary Clintons to lose…and that is exactly what she did.
Stop blaming Obama, Peolsi, Dean and other folks.
The Clinton campaign was messed up from the start.

I will invite obama to join my congregation. About 40 jews, no building, one rabbi. Reform. No bad language, no hate. Must be willing to learn a small amount of hebrew for occasional use at seders, etc.
No ranting allowed. Must listen to sermons politely.
I dunno if BO and MO will fit in.

Now tell your wife to stop hurting the Dem Party. We’re moving forward to win in November.

Just read the Obama followers postings on this site. How can you say they are not hateful. How can you imagine that the hate is not an orchestrated movement that begins at the top.
Obama’s stays above it all and his army slaughters everything decent. Just look at earlier posts — all almost alike that attacked McCain as being a traitor. Do you really think a dozen people came up with the same words simultaneously. Do you really!

Gosh! What an ugly slice of America this place here reveals. But, it does explain why America has evolved into a place where little or nothing gets done anymore. So, so incredibly sad.

Hillary is prepared to give a speech in NY tomorrow, perhaps it will be her concession speech as the majority of the 17 uncommitted senators are planning to endorse Sen. Obama, according to CNN. In any event, once HRC is out of the picture and hopefully gives her support to the democratic nominee; as americans we can properly reflect on the historical significance of the moment. Our generation may well be defined by the success of the first ever black president. Does he unity the country, end political partisanship, restore our country around the world as the beacon of hope?, time will tell. Just think, 100 years from now our offspring could be recounting to their children how great, great grandad/grandma voted for President Obama and he changed the course of this country in the ways of past presidents like Lincoln and JFK. These are amazing times people, let’s unite! Obama08

There is no signal that the campaign stops here. hillary all the way to the Credentials Committe. The DNC hierarchy knows that obama is unelectable

The Obama’s are looking for a new church so this silly mind of mine said Adidam.

Where in the world is Michelle Obama, and what does she hate about America today?

dem38:
Then how do you explain this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Democratic_presidential_candidates%2C_2008
From the above link:
“Clinton announced on January 20, 2007, that she would run in 2008 (the same day she announced the formation of an exploratory committee).”
“Obama announced his candidacy on February 10, 2007.”
So Hillary announced first by about 2-3 weeks. They competed in all the contests (except Florida and Michigan).
Therefore, what are you talking about?

my little eyes weep with joy and pride at the dem party…
ahhhhh like birthing a baby
and finding out it’s rosemary’s baby
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee helpppppppp!!!!!

I found this link to an audio file of Brazile saying she’ll leave the party. just click on listen and the file will play
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18882087

dems38, why didn’t Hillary compete in the caucuses and this isn’t a winner take all like the republicans so that argument is moot. Like I said she ran a bad campaign thinking she had this all wrapped up by super tuesday. She had no plan after that.

Excuse me, i would like to take exception to this. if obama gets 23 years to learn to leave his church, hubris should also get 23 years to learn to improve his language

frida – i agree – i am outraged that elitsits who are worth over 100 million dollars pretend to be shift workers; the son, grandson of four-star generals, and the husband of mulit-millionaire pretends to be a man of the people; and a reporter on a major network, with a prep school educations and legacy Ivy League education – along with MSM media millionaires determine our national political process.
It’s time for a change. I want my country back. And I’m a white, rural, middle class independent voter.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. We’ve had enough of the Clintons. Go waste your money elsewhere, elitist shills.

Obama is faking his resigmnation of his church the same way he staged his break up with Wright Obama and Wright are still pals, Wright is his mentor and they think alike.

Okay, SAD that people think McCain and Bush are alike and they predict another term like Bush’s disasterous last two. Please pay attention when McCain speaks: He is a unifer, not a divider like Bush. He reaches across the isles to Democracts and works with them to achieve change in this county. The media and others are always asailing him for this, villifing him and other Republicans call him a traitor to the GOP for it. He, unlike Bush, stands up for what he believes and often bears the brunt of anger from the Republican party. People, read his positions and think for yourselves. Please stop repeating what you hear without giving it any thought. Form an original thought!
Also, for those of you who think he is too old, you try the campaign trail – see if you “youngsters” can keep up with McCain. He is a healthy man. Sure…two terms – no, but let’s give the man a chance to help this country for four years.

I really want HRC to take it to Denver. I want her to fight for all of us. I’m tired of this image of women having to be conciliatory and all that crap. I’m woman and I’ll fight for what is right ’til death…unity my a^^.

Hillary supporters are bitter, and that’s understandable. I know, as an Obama supporter, that I would be if the shoe were on the other foot. But for the good for our country, all Dems (and independents) need to unite now against McCain. Not only would he continue the disastrous Bush foreign and economic policies, but he will also overturn Roe v. Wade. I think that’s something that Hillary’s supporters will greatly regret if they go that route. Also, if Hillary runs as an independent, which I don’t think she will, it will definitely win the GE for McCain.

Obama has basic arithmetic problems: Cause first you unite than you divide. not the other way around. You will end up in the minus zone. Like minus 17 millions. Sad but trueI’m afraid.

I am planning to RUN, not walk to my local voter registration office to change my party affiliation from Democratic to Independent. In all the history of the USA, never has a candidate been better informed and more prepared for the presidency than Hillary Clinton. Looking back on history, Krushchev took advantage of Kennedy’s inexperience to create the Cuban missle crisis. Now, because of the weakness and stupidity of Bush/Cheney, Hugo Chavez was able to rise in power. How long until his buddy Ahmadinajad has nukes and sends a gift to Venezuela? At least the Soviets were mentally stable. This is only the tip of the iceberg.
We NEED Hillary!!!

Show me the “Whitey” tape.
If Obama was so WONDERFUL than he should have agreed to seat FL & MI the proper way. FL should get full vote.
DNC put Obama on the MI ticket – he CHOSE to remove himself.
Regardless – if he had pushed for unity and the proper seating of the delegates in FL & MI – Hillary would have gained many more delegates – but still not have been close enough to overtake him. It really would have been symbolic for him to show he was really for party unity. After the Rev Wright nonsense I said if Obama is the one for the dems I will stay home – after now Wright, Rezko & the recent catholic priests rants I will not stay home – I will vote for McCain..so now all the Obama drones that are following Obama as a second coming of Christ can jump right on my post. I am a democrat through and through – but with McCain we know what we are getting – with Obama the surprises keep coming and none of them have been good.
Just waiting for the Whitey tape to post.
Posted by: Rose | Jun 2, 2008 2:04:29 PM
Rose,
That has to be the most uneducated post I’ve seen in a long time. You say you’d vote for McCain because you know what you’re getting? Are you kidding me? Go and look at McCain’s stances on issues 4 years ago and then go look at his stances now. He has 100% flip flopped over and over again. In addition, many people voted for BUSH for that same reason… “we don’t like him, but at least we know where he stands”… BAM, look at where we are now?
Ask yourself a question… what in the world does the comments by Wright and the latest Catholic priest have to do with Obama and our national policies? The answer is simple… *NOTHING*. If you choose to let those reverends sway your decision, then that is your decision… i can’t stop you from exericising your poor judgement. Me? I’m voting based on ABILITY TO LEAD and things that really DO make a difference to our nation.
let me guess… you’re also pi$$ed about Obama not wearing the flag lapel. LOL
Hey, what’s this about following Obama as the 2nd coming of Christ? JESUS CHRIST (pardon the expression)… just because you vote for someone does not make them Christ-like. Geeeeeeez… Does this mean you believe Hillary is the 2nd coming of Christ? LOL
I swear, the posters here astound me… it’s like being in a 2nd grade classroom.

Looks like all that fantasy at Disney is doing a job on you Orlando!

FOR THOSE WHO SAY THEY WILL VOTE McCain I say GOOD I just hope the trailer that you live in has air conditioning for the long hot summer of what Obama win the whole thing. IF CLINTON WAS THE BETTER CANDIDATE HOW COME SHE IS BEHIND WHEN THE PROCESS STARTED SHE WAS THE ALL BUT CERTAIN WINNER MY QUESTION IS
WHAT HAPPENED THEN? she lost to a better candidate POINT BLANK!!

HOW GIVES A DAM ABOUT THE HISPANICS VOTE THEIR ILLEGAL AND CANNOT VOTE ANY DAM WAY!!!!!!! WHAT HAVENT WHITE PEOPLLE AND BLACK PEOPLE DEPORTED THEM YET. ANOTHER REASON OBAMA WON!!!! NOTICE HE HAVE NOTHING BUT WHITE AND BLACK PEOPLE AROUND HIM SMART GUY THATS WHY HE’S GOING TO THE WHITEHOUSE IDOTS!!!

My God .. I’m not a Democrat but if the Clinton’s aren’t one your best ever – please share who is! Let me hear it – name a few of the best Dems ever. This should be comical .. if you’re between 15 and 30 yrs old please name at least name one that’s not already passed away!

Paleeze already with the black vote. BO’s not going to get the middle class white vote & there are lot more of them.

Bill clinton is directly responsible for the last 8 years of pain. He could not control his own self gratification,and had to have whatever pleasures he wanted at the moment he wanted it. I used to support Sen. Clinton, until the picture of her with Scaife. Her own self gratification need for power was to much for this old lady to handle.

That is how I feel. Everyone is trying to get on the Obama train so they can get positions in the Administration or get his ear for their pork. No one seems to care about all the crap that is going on.

Susan and the rest of you Hillary diehards, you are like a bunch of goats! The way you think, scares me!! You, like Hillary, give women a bad rap!!!!
OBAMA’08

You want HIllary to do everything. She does not need to tell her supporters anything. Let BO work for the votes. Oh, that’s right, it won’t matter. He is not fit to run this country!

any man like obama who is smart enough to have nothing but white people and black people around him and beat hillary racist rodham clinton surley has my vote for president oh and deported the illegals!!!!

Can’t wait for the new Bill & Monica meeting to come out! Hillary is trying her best to keep this hush hush. This is why she has kept her distance from him in the last few months.

DNC CANNOT DEFY THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They already did,like yesterday and all along. We can all wish for a tape or hope that the masses will see the light but the DNC made it a done deal, and they told us to screw ourselves. something very very major has to happen to change the course now. Like Mccain winning in the GE, but it looks like they have figured that into their game plan by trying to securing other states as opposed to the usual swing states. I know we can out smart them if we put our heads together and not discuss it on an open blog.

Do not miss it.

Please…everyone…we’re all on the same side. It looks like Obama will win the nomination and for anyone supporting Hillary who says they won’t vote for Obama…or they won’t vote at all…or they’ll vote for McCain … SHAME ON YOU! A vote for McCain is a vote for four more years of Bush. That is unacceptable. There’s been a lot of nasty politics and sabotage and lies/rumors/innuendos and it’s time to put it all behind us and unite to elect a DEMOCRAT as president in November.

silverlady – The candidate with the most votes IS the nominee. And no “true Democrat” would ever vote for McCain over Obama.

One president per family, per generation, is enough. For some reason, the second person in a family to become president, following the previous one rather closely, is always weaker (i.e. the Adams and the Bushes). Bill left office with a good legacy in terms of his policies if not his personal life. Let’s keep it that way. Of course it would be nice to see a women become president, but one with her own independent credentials. Also, I suspect that for too many, Hillary has become the “great white hope” for those voters who desperately wish not to see a black man become president.

Puerto Ricans ilegals? They are all over. Ove 1M in NY and they hold US passport by bithright.

AT A TIME,WE ALL NEED TO STOP LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT BE FALSE INDICATORS OF HOW STRONG A CANDIDATE IS.TO BE SURE THE CANDIDATE WE ARE CHOOSING IS STRONG ENOUGH TO WIN IN NOVEMBER,WE NEED TO MATCH HIS OR HER NUMBERS WITH OUR OPPONENT REPUBLICAN NUMBERS,SEE HOW WELL CLINTON OR OBAMA DOING IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE,IN SWINGS STATES,IN EVERYTHING DEMOCRATS NEED TO WIN AGAINST MCCAIN.IT IS ONLY AT THE END OF THAT HOMEWORK THAT WE CHOOSE OUR NOMMINEE.STATISCALLY,HILLARY IS STRONGER THAN OBAMA IN A G.E MATCH UP AGAINST MCCAIN.THAT IS THE FACT.NOW,IN THE NAME OF WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DENY THE NOMINATION TO THE ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LEAD THE PARTY TO VICTORY IN NOVEMBER? THE LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEED TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IN MAKING THEIR DECISION,BECAUSE THIS TIME,WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO TOLORATE ANY MISTAKES,ANY SELFISHNESS,ANY KIND OF STUPIDITY AGAIN

Well Bill was a bigger person than Hillary, practically admitting it’s over. Maybe the scandalous Clintons will be gone now.

Lora….excellent post!

Hillary will win because if the superdelegates have any brains they will see how all the Obama corruption has produced an illegitimate candidate.
BO started stealing elections in Chicago and denying the people the right to vote for good candidates.
One of his opponents and mentor who he stabbed in the back endorsed Hillary.
He decided to steal this one through the weak and meaningless caucuses that produce many delegates. He sent his thugs in to corrupt the already disproportionate caucuses. They pushed, shoved, accosted, threatened, and threw out voters. The stole paperwork and committed fraud of every kind imaginable.
Texas was probably the worst. Over 2000 complaints were filed, even with jammed phone lines.
Hillary won the legitimate primary, then the thugs took over the caucuses and stole her delegates.
Obama blocked the revotes in FL and MI because he lost bigtime and knew he would lose again. He spent over $1.3 Million campaigning in FL, she didn’t. Hillary won with a handicap.
Then the corrupt DNC (Donna Brazile) and crooked Obama cut Hillary’s FL and MI delegates in half. But they didn’t cut South Carolina (BO’s state) in half even though SC broke the same rule.
That wasn’t enough. They gave Obama all the uncommitted votes and delegates in Michigan when he wasn’t even on the ballot. Maybe I should claim some delegates, I wasn’t on either.
He made a strategic decision to get off the MI ballot in order to gain favor with Iowa, which he did. He won Iowa (another corrupt caucus).
Those uncommitted votes are not his, and certainly not all his any way you look at it. I know people in Michigan who voted for Mike Gravel, for instance, who had their votes hijacked by Obama. They would have gone for Hillary, they can’t stand corrupt Obama.
But even that wasn’t enough for the greedy, corrupt, lying, little bastard. He had the corrupt DNC actually give him 4 of HILLARY’S MI delegates.
And, you wonder why Hillary is fighting. I think if it was me I would be fighting with swords.
Obama is an ILLEGITIMATE candidate and if the supers are too dumb to see it, the GOP will point it out very clearly.

People that say it is better for the party if Hillary quits are full of it.
They are not the ones running. We have a process that can take us to the convention if need be. I can’t believe all the people that are quiters and expect her to quit. I would not blame her for taking it to the convention just based on the bull the committee pulled yesterday by giving votes to someone that was not even on the ballot. This is a democracy and politicians need to be voted in not just given delegates. If he wanted the votes he should have left his name on the ballot. But our democratic party has lost all since of democracy in there haste to make Obama the nominee.
The way I see it the longer Obama doesn’t camaing against McCain the better. The republicans are going to eat him alive.
Don’t put down a politician for exercising their rights

Wow, this just might bring Hilliary some REAL tears… I wonder who Bill’s gonna blame, and I wanna know even more if Hilliary agrees with who HE feels the scapegoat truly is…

There is NO way to compare Hillary with THE MOST LIBERAL SENATOR – Obama!!! Obama is fond of saying that he will usher in a new era of bipartisanship and bridge the divide between the parties. But there is NO WAY — If he could do this, why didn’t he do so it in his three years in the Senate. If fact he has moved farther from the political center each year!! BEWARE, he is the nominee you are supposed to rally around, and he is scary!!!!

WTF? Can someone explain to me how she would destroy her legacy by going to the convention when she is ahead in the pop vote – largest ever in a presidential primary? Is that the new spin? And the gracious comment really pissed me how- as you say Hillaryous. Senator Clinton has already become an Icon made by all of us (No exceptions) and we should be proud.

Ok, I will try to get an answer again. If Obama wins the nomination tomorrow night, can Hillary still go to the convention in Denver with her campaign? And if she can, in what regard? I really would like to know.

Hillary stands proud, she stands tall, she stands up for us and for America every single day!
She is THE electable candidate in this race and represents the WILL OF THE PEOPLE!
Don’t let anyone tell you any different.
For any Superdelegate to vote against THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE and steal this nomination from the MAJORITY OF VOTERS is a miscarriage of justice and a rape of Democracy in America.
I am so sick and tired of people that just don’t get it! Oh, no, no, no, there is NO QUIT in us! There is NO RETREAT! There is NO GIVING UP OR GIVING IN!!
WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE DENIED OUR VOTES OR OUR RIGHTS!! OUR MAJORITY VOICE WILL BE HEARD AND HONORED BY THE DNC IN FULL!!
HILLARY CLINTON AND WE THE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT HER REPRESENT THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTERS!!
WE ARE STRONGER THAN EVER NOW!! OUR NUMBERS ARE GROWING BY THE DAY!!
TODAY IS JUNE 1, 2008. THE VOTES OF, BY, AND FOR THE PEOPLE ARE WITH US AND TIME IS ON OUR SIDE!!
REMEMBER AND SHOUT IT LOUD AND CLEAR TO EVERYONE AND EVERYWHERE:
ON TO DENVER AND VICTORY IN NOVEMBER FOR WE THE PEOPLE AND THE 44th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON!!

I agree but she has been had by the good ole boys club that had Donna B and others on the band wagon. I still don’t know how Donna sleeps at night but it is her karma not mine.
I can’t see Hillary taking a post in an administration after being first lady.
She is exactly what we need and that is exactly why they won’t let it happen.
I will always heart Hillary as she has what we all aspire to, be damn the trolls and their stupid kool aid ignorance

I AM CONCERNED AT THIS POINT THAT HILLARY MAY BE HURTING HER FUTURE CHANCES. SHE AND HER CHAIRMAN ICKES ARE BEGINNING TO SAY SOME BITTER THINGS THAT MAY COME BACK TO HAUNT HER. SHE DOESNT SEEM INTERESTED IN UNITING THE PARTY RATHER IMPOSING HER WILL ON EVERY ONE. SHE IS TALKING ABOUT FIGHTING THE VERY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED HER. THEIR ARGUMENTS ABOUT MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA JUST DONT MAKE SENSE. THE DNC COULD HAVE VOTED TO NOT COUNT ANY DELEGATES, A JUDGE ALREADY RULED THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. THE RULES COMMITTEE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE SOME FAIR DISTRIBUTION OF FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN DELEGATES BUT SHE AND ICKES ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FAIRNESS.

I am so proud of our girl. We have to get her elected. am sending another email to DNC to plea with them to be fair to Hillary. Obama will never win.He will never get Hillary supporters to vote for him after the way she has been treated

Any Hillary Supporter that jumps ship and vote for McCain must be the ‘true racist’ in america. How can you not vote for your party’s candidate when his platform is virtually identical to that of Hillary’s? How you justify not voting for the candidate that better suits your needs for the one who who does not? What other reason could it be besides race? Check yourself before you wreck yourself? Obama’08

Thanks to the Clintons, the GE is now in jeopardy. Those who would vote for the party that has left the country in ruins after less than seven years, for whatever reason, are only doing it to themselves and will have years to enjoy that pleasure.

Rossima,
I suppose you would like Obama to hand to nomination to Clinton because she is entitled to it, because she is Hillary and a woman. How sexist is that?

Just a handful of Hillary diehards in her campaign to go …
Looks like she’s preparing a concession speech for tomorrow night in NY “Expected To Suspend Campaign … ” Huffington Post and that news report comes in the wake of one about her letting some campaign staff go (Politco).
Tuesday night, it’s all over except the cryin’. Hopefully, the party can heal up to thump John McCain.

So now the most popular votes don’t count it’s the most delegates, anyone know when BO, Kerry, Kennedy, Richardson, and crowd changed their mind about the popular vote being most important?

A shame that it was Bill and not Hillary the has signified the conclusion of this campaign….perhaps.
Unfortunately, neither of them have covered themselves in glory during the contest and have, I think, gone from one mis-step to another. And I think this is another.

Bill Clinton……Stop trying to cheer us up.

How Dumb Can You Be? Can Hillary still go to the convention even if Obama gets the delegates tomorrow night? Seems like she wouldn’t have the right to go to the convention…..right?

Susan, at least we have a chance in November. How is your defeat tasting right now?

jogger – Hillary has several options after Tuesday. If Obama passes the magic number of 2118 in delegates, she can
1)call Obama and concede the election and drop out of the primary
2)Suspend her campaign without conceding but, not take it to Denver either (kind of waiting for something to happen to Obama)
3)Suspend her campaign and promise to take it all the way to Denver.

Hillary supporters:
If Obama gets the nomination and he does not win because of Hillary, then I do not think the Clinton brand name will survive. I do not see how any of the Obama supporters will ever vote for another Clinton (even Chelsea when she runs for office).

HILLARY CAN’T QUIT.
SHE’S THE WINNER.
SHE WON THE PEOPLE’S VOTES.
MOST EVER !!!!

Good riddance to the womanizer who was trying to coattail it back to the White House for another round of influence peddling, whilst we, the workers, the hard working Americans of all stripes, suffer the consequences of the self-centered Clintons. Turn the lights out and slam the door as you leave.

I knew a lot of bitter and anti-social people hung out on the internet, but you people are just plain mean. You deserve each other.

To Indycvs: Thank you for your response. So all these posters that are saying Hillary can run as an Independent can’t happen, right? If she takes it to the convention, after Obama has won the nomination, that seems pointless, right?

HOWDUMBCANYOUBE — You said “Guess what? Barack won this primary because he got more of the white vote in more states than Hillary got.” SORRY — Bad math! Hillary recieved more of the white vote in most states, but combine Obama’s white vote with the black vote, and that won it for him!

HILLARY CAN’T QUIT.
SHE’S THE WINNER.
SHE WON THE PEOPLE’S VOTES.
MOST EVER !!!!

really? so, I assume the “uncommitted” votes of the people of Michigan don’t count then, right? Oh yeah, how about all those caucus states that don’t release the number of people who voted… you know, the caucus states that Obama won pretty much ALL of… Obama has the popular vote, not Clinton. Get your facts right.

No problem voting for McCain.
First, he is a man of character who loves his country. BO not.
Second, we will likely vote for other Democrats which will create a Democratic Congress. McCain will have his hands and be unable to appoint judges or pretty much anything else.
Third, anything, yes anything, is better than a 2-faced, lying, corrupt, anti-American, racist, Chicago crook.

Any Hillary Supporter that jumps ship and vote for McCain must be the ‘true racist’ in America. How can you not vote for your party’s candidate when his platform is virtually identical to that of Hillary’s? How do you justify not voting for the candidate that better suits your needs but rather for the one who does not? What other reason could it be besides race? Check yourself before you wreck yourself? Obama’08

I am an independent and to those Dems who say they will vote for McCain if Hillary does not get the nomination are stupid. So you would ruin your party’s change to win the election because Hillary did not win. So you will betray All of her hard work. McCain and Hillary’s platforms are totally different. Instead of getting behind the person who gets the nom., you just say the H*ll with my beleifs and I will vote the opposite bacause my canadiate did not win. If that is the case, then you deserve what you get. I am independent and will vote for Obama bacuse McCain=4moreYRsofBUSH. Oh and if McCain does manage to win, and he sends our troops to war with Syria and any other country he deems fit to attack, you will have no right to complain bacAuse YOU WILL HAVE PUT HIM THERE.

As an independent, I don’t vote the parties, I vote the people. And there is no way I want two Clinton people back in the White house. And we all know for a fact that both Clintons will be there front and center. For that reason, although I voted Obama in the primary, if Hillary Clinton is on the Democratic ticket as POTUS or Vice-POTUS, McCain gets my vote. I see absolutely nothing in Hillary Clinton to make me think she can run this country.

Finally!! Thank you God! PLEASE let her take her toys and go home, I am SO sick of her endless whining. If she was a child, her parents would have had a good sit down straighten up chat well before now.

Democratic party is now officially a communist party. Plays same exact tricks.

Do you know anyone who left 450 Billion dollar surplus when he left office? Do you know any other president of our country who brought us prosperity at home and prestioge and respect around the world for us? And can you really name anyone who can hold a candle to Bill Clinton for his service to this country and the world?

To the Hillary supporters,
I hope those of your who decide to support Obama are pleasantly surprised. You’ll be voting for a candidate who played by the rules. For those of you who are so angry and are threatning to vote for McCain, go right on ahead and do it. You’ll be screwing yourself.

“It’s sad to see how Howard Dean ruined this primary. Democratic party resembles communist party with super eliteS deciding the fate of the nation.”
Hillary Clinton isn’t a “super elite”?
And Barak Obama is?
Gimme a break.

How can you sit here and be upset with the DNC when we are the ones who voted those lawmakers into office to make tough decisions such as the one in the Florida and Michigan situation? STOP the bitterness. Let us move on and UNITE AS ONE!! We cannot afford to lose one more soldier and one more house to a foreclosure!! STOP THE NON-SENSE!! PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THE REAL ISSUES ARE!! Look at who put us in this mess. DO YOU REALLY WANT OUR SHIP,AMERICA, TO KEEP SINKING? Please, in the name of UNITY, OUR SOLDIERS, AND THE MILLIONS WHO ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES, I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT WHOEVER THE DEMOCRATIC NOMNINEE SHALL BE!!

WE WILL REMEMBER !
How the Obama supporters so viciously attacked us while completely ignoring the issues. Those supporters are indicative of Obama himself.
I will never vote for such a hate filled and vile candidate who encourages such disrespect. Never.

MDB, care to enlighten me?
Are not dems more liberal than conservative? Why would a liberal (whether he or she is a conservative, moderate or otherwise) choose to vote Republician simply because their candidate of choice is not the nominee?
Explain yourself?
the_peoples_prez — You posted “Hillary Supporters that jump ship and vote for McCain must be the ‘true racist’ in America” — NO, just the SMART ONES! Obama is the most liberal senator!

Posted by pt: “I thought it was really funny that no cameras were allowed in for the bush/mccain fundraiser.”
I thought it was much funnier when the press smuggled a camera into Obama’s San Francisco fundraiser (no cameras allowed) and recorded Obama making his famous “bitter” remarks.

CharleyChaplin–
I don’t mean to be rude to you in any way, but Bill Clinton did not leave a 450 bil suprlus when he left office, cite your source.
He was a joke around the world, he did nothing when the world trade centers were attacked the first time. He did nothing to try to stop Osama Bin Laden even though he knew of the threat.
Bill Clinton disgraced the office of the president, was convicted of perjury, disbarred and impeached.
Posted by: McCain defeat | Jun 2, 2008 3:01:39 PM
More rhetoric without facts.
The FACT is… Bill Clinton DID do something after the WTC was bombed the first time… and when he had a chance to get OBL finally, it was the *REPUBLICANS* who said NO. REmember, he was the president with a REPUBLICAN HOUSE AND SENATE. It was not Bill, it was the rest of your republican ilk that said “no.”
With that said, yes, Bill did have an affair in the oval office and was impeached for lying about a sexual exploit. The current president lied about reasons to go into Iraq… cherry picked the evidence and omitted it from the bill authorizing him to go to war with IRAQ. But you know what?? due to “executive privelege” he is not answering questions about that… his LIES have so far led to the deaths of 4000+ servicemen and women… and has led to the destruction of tens or hundreds of thousands of families in the US. In addition, it has led to the deaths of up to 1M Iraqis and obliterated millions of families… oh yeah, and Al Qaida is bigger now than it ever was. But hey, keep voting republican, eh?

She is an embarrassment to the Democratic Party and an embarrassment to women. This act of hers will not be forgotten! Check out the pattern:
Bill Clinton–makes racist statement.
Hillary does nothing.
Gov. Rendell–makes racist statement.
Hillary does nothing.
Gloria Steinem–makes racist statement.
Hillary does nothing.
Geraldine Ferraro–makes racist statement.
Hillary does nothing.
Bill and Hillary have a very checkered past and she has been very self centered and immature during this whole campaign for such an experienced politician. She has turned voters against her because all of her antics. She pisses everyone off whenever she opens her mouth to say she’s more elect able and she has the white vote! That alone has destroyed her. And the assassination gaffe was the final nail in her political coffin! She used bad judgment throughout her campaign and I would be very scared to have her a VP. Sen. Obama would have to watch his back all the time. Sen. Obama is a master politician, a master at his work. When Sen. Obama goes up against Sen. McCain he will make him look unintelligent (as he already does) and talk circles around him. He will win the presidency by a landslide (and you can blame that on Bush). It will be truly historic! And you know what’s interesting about that is the American people know it. Of course some people just can’t face the fact because they are so single minded. Wake up America. The world is watching our every move…

ConcernedCitizen — The only explanation for the media not lambasting Obama on his proposed open-ended talks with Ahmadinejad is that they seriously imagine dictator’s legs will tingle when they listen to Obama as some liberal TV hosts!

There is book called ” When the elevator was out of order I took the stairs” it’s about a woman who fought with courage and determination her way to the top fighting sexism. It’s an eye opener.
McCain/Clinton 08

Sure would be terrible to have to go through 8 years of PEACE AND PROSPERITY again.
And, that GREATEST ECONOMIC EXPANSION IN HISTORY was a drag.
Those damn Clintons are so smart and care about us too damn much.

He is a good son.
He is a good student.
He is a good citizen.
He is a good lawyer.
He is a good husband.
He is a good father.
He is a good teacher.
He is a good leader.
He is a GREAT campaigner.
He’ll be a great President.
May God continue to Bless Barack Obama and the USA.

How dumb can you be, thank you for responding to ClintonsAgain rant about Obama being ‘shady’ The truth of the matter is ‘Obama’s race’ is holding him/her back from supporting him. What a shame!

Hillary is prepared to give a speech in NY tomorrow, perhaps it will be her concession speech as the majority of the 17 uncommitted senators are planning to endorse Sen. Obama, according to CNN. In any event, once HRC is out of the picture and hopefully gives her support to the democratic nominee; as americans we can properly reflect on the historical significance of the moment. Our generation may well be defined by the success of the first ever black president. Does he unite the country, end political partisanship, restore our country around the world as the beacon of hope?, time will tell. Just think, 100 years from now our offspring could be recounting to their children how great, great grandad/grandma voted for President Obama and he changed the course of this country in the ways of past presidents like Lincoln and JFK. These are amazing times people, let’s unite! Obama08

NO MATTER WHAT SHE IS OUT! IF YOU ALL WANT McClain GOOD! IF YOU WANNA CHANGE TO REPUBLICAN SEE YOU! BUT SHE IS OUT! YOU ALL CAN CRY! BUT SHE IS OUT! GONE! THIS IS HER LAST WEEK! OBAMA YOU ROCK! IF OBAMA DOES NOT WIN SHE WANT!

Here’s the reality, the one that Clinton’s supporters just won’t admin:
Obama won because he had a better campaign than Hillary. He did not win because of sexism or racism or any of this BS.
Obama’s ground game, his GOTV operation and his fund raising apparatus, are beyond belief. He has managed to do what NO DEMOCRAT has done in 40 years, in terms of getting out the vote and raising money from outside the usual sources of financing (read: the Big DC Fund Machine). Although he has gotten some money from the usual suspects, the vast majority of his money comes from small donors, who cannot, individually, influence his policies, but who can as a community. That’s called: Democracy.
Hillary had no plan for the period after Super Tuesday, because she was simply too full of herself. She simply could not believe that a shrimp like Obama could ever pose a serious challenge to her; She felt that she “deserved” the nomination, that the party “owed” her for her 8 years in the White House.
She lost her own race; then she went uber-negative, pulling out the Rove-Atwater playbook which killed Gore and Kerry. She then lost most of her supporters.
There’s always going to be a small hardcore crowd of nutjobs, like that woman at the RBC meeting on Saturday. But I think the vast majority of Democrats will fall behind Obama, and that if that happens, he will win in November.
Oh, and BTW, I was originally an Edwards supporter. I would have been happy to support Hillary, had she won the nomination fair and square. But she lost.

ConcernedCitizen — Sitting down with Ahmadinejad without precursers is like sitting down with a middle-of-the-night-intruder in your house and talking while his associate is torturing the rest of your family in the basement —- the Iranian Guard is training an supplying insurgents to KILL our troops — Obama is an imbecil!!

*G* I can see the Obama crowd is really working this board. All I can say is hang on to your wallets because anybody making over 75K a year is going to be considered rich and take it in the shorts with tax and spent Obama. I assure you 2 yrs from now when his politics set in all of you will be wishing for Clinton (unless you’re a looser living on $15 bucks an hour)
-JR

Why Bill? I thought you said you will campaign your heart out for Obama?
So, since the nominee might not be your wife, you are leaving? That is not fair?
Campaing for Obama, do it for the party or are you not interested in seeing a democrat in the White House come 2009?

S -
You expect people to talk about issues in an internet message board? This is where angry, anti-social people come to vent their rage at someone, anyone. There are plenty of people claiming to support each candidate who are being mean and dishonest. If you want a real discussion, try the real world.

Hillay’s presidency was never meant to happen.
Bill, take your wife and daughter home and have a nice good retirement life with plenty of money you both made by selling your bookd to poor people.
Goodbye.

McCain defeat
All of us? Get real Buster.

For all of those who are saying Hillary supporters are bitter your right, and Obama supporters should be bitter too.
They took votes from one category and put them in another. That is not the will of the people. Obama made the choice to take his name off the ballot and now accepts votes that are not his.
He should be fighting this option with everything he has because it is not democratic. He is only in it to win. People want Hillary to quit because it would be better for the party, but don’t care that 600000 votes where tossed out the window and given to a candidate who chose to take his name off the ballot because he did not want to hear their voice.
Obama supports are great, they don’t expect him to vote on anything and they don’t have to vote for him because some committee will just give them to him.
Obama supporters, you have been duped.
You have treated this election like american idol and you decision will cost you.
Posted by: texas outlaw | Jun 2, 2008 3:17:37 PM
Wow, do you understand what the word “hypocrite” means?
Here, let me spell it out for you.
1) It was HILLARY’s CAMPAIGN MANAGER ICKES who forced the issue to remove all the delegates from FL and MI. Once that soaks in, go on to the next point.
2) All Democratic candidates removed their names from the MI ballot… WHY? because the DNC (you know, the body which governs the democratic party) said their votes do not count… so off they went. No campaigning whatsoever. OOPSIE, Clinton LEFT HER NAME ON THE BALLOT! So, now the voters only had a choice of her, or uncommitted.
3) Since no one else had their names on the ballot, essentially people are forced to vote for Hillary. But wait a sec… 44% or something voted for “uncommitted”… I’m SURE none of the were for Obama, right? LOL.
So, you’re all talking about how ALL VOTES MUST COUNT… OOPS, except for those HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS that voted for “uncommitted” because they had no other choice… and oh yeah, plus those votes that went to Hillary because she was the ONLY NAME on the ballot (bullying into voting for her at that point). Riiiiiight… but yes, all votes must count.
So, explain to me why Hillary said that FL and MI do NOT MATTER… these were HER WORDS… and then miraculously, they suddenly matter?
Explain to me why HER CAMPAIGN MANAGER ICKES forced the DNC hand and made them EXCLUDE ALL VOTES and then later was surprised that the DNC would exclude their votes??
Something does not seem right at the circle K

Bill’s end to campaigning won’t come for a while. After Tuesday, if Obama goes over the top on delegates, Hillary may suspend her campaign but she will be doing one of two things: either (a) trying to muscle her way into the Vice Presidency, or (b) trying to change delegates and superdelegates’ minds before they formally declare at the convention. She will still be campaigning for the presidency and Bill will be right there with her. She’s not going anywhere. Where is Buffy when we need her?

Joy — Absolutely No racism here — just the realization that Obama will take this country SOOOOO far left, it would take decades to recover — the guy was actually brought up with a marxist “mentor”, and his policy ideas are ALL socialistic. I dont care if he is Green, he is NOT qualified to be president!

Joy,
Barack Obama is the reason for all of this racial retorhic. What makes him an authority on racial issues. Where has he brought a coalition of mixed races. You can’t say his campaign has, becuse all the candidates have brought in all races all genders and all ages.
He has brought in over 90% of the black vote. Your trying to tell me that he does not inflame the racial issue. His comments thus far regarding his pastors, his church, and even his family havn’t proven that he is the one to solve this problem. Obamas comment about working class white people. You know the typical white person that clings to their religion and guns when things are not going their way.
Obama is bringing his racial problems with him to the GE. Hillary would have done more for this area as she has worked for equality her entire career, unlike Obama who has run for elections his entire career.

I cant beleieve the people on here spewing nonfactula things about obama. Dayum sore losers and to think its just about white working people is garbage. There many more working in this country besides whites tha have stuck by this party through thick and thin. Even when Clinton was getting impeached they stuck with him. african americans have stuck with this party. Latinos. stop it. white folks act like they built this country alone and biult the democratic party. its sickening to hear this crap. The clintons lost and they have no one to blame but themselves. They got out campaigned and outsmarted and a leader can rise above and come back from set backs. Obama did. He hstumbled but admitted his mistakes and kept going. Didnt blame anyone. U need to look at the clintons associates. U gotta be kidding me. Well u try and win the election without african americans. See what happens. No democratic candidate has won without the african american vote. Dems barely get low income white folks anyway because they believe in the GOP’s false national security claim when they cant even feed their families.

pundit
Obama supporters always reduce everything to race. If you’re against the puppet, you’re a racist.
Too bad you can’t think of anything positive to say about your candidate that would actually change someone’s mind about his ineptitude.

If Hillary and Bill would look past their egos, they would see they can be utilized to the fullest. But nooooooo their egos want let them believe that there are people that don’t want them in charge. Just like her MANDATE on healtcare, some people don’t want to be MADE or FINED unless they go along with her. The Dems need to come together and defeat the WARMONGER

I’m amazed at the negative comments aimed at Sen Obama from Sen Clinton supporters. Why don’t her supporters admit she ran a lousy campaign and made numerous strategic blunders from the outset. Many of her supporters have stated they will not vote for Sen Obama in a GE, well then don’t. As I see it you have three choices, don’t vote at all, vote for Sen Obama or vote for John McBush and get 4 more years of crap. It’s your move…

Pundit,
Are you saying that it is 15% of white people that are racists?
Lets see, over 90% of the black vote went to Obama. Are you trying to tell me that race did not have anything to do with these peoples decision? Are you trying to tell me there is not at least 15% if those people are racist.
There is pure evidence of racism in these numbers, but you want to talk about the white people. I don’t see anywhere that 90% of the white vote on anything. You should rethink your racist blog.

I thought the Clintons stated they were going to get fully behind the nominee, which would include campaigning.
Bill’s statement sounds like they will not be actively assisting Obama’s campaign.
Strange. That might lead one to believe that the VP thing isn’t happening for Hillary.

All I can do is thank God that Bill won’t campaign for Obama. He’s done enough damage to his own wife. Obama doesn’t need that kind of liability.

Odd Statement-
Do you think Obama wants Bill out there speaking for him?

Dear Author
Please read the comments. You tell me did the Clinton’s create this divide. You have people speaking above about Muslim rumors, about McCain not supporting Bush’s policies, throwing his grandmother under the bus; about a secret society promoting an Obama candidacy … about every issue which is not based in fact. These people are emotionally tied to Clinton and the thinking is not grounded in fact. It sounds like they are replaying the emotional, emasculating, but subtle arguments of Hill and Bill Clinton. I guess my question is which came first the chicken or the egg? Can the Democratic Party recover? It seems that this type of damage can not be corrected by an embrace and a hug!!! Ii know this will be the story line from here until November but GOD PLEASE HELP WORKING FAMILIES, THE MIDDLE CLASS, THE WORKING HOMELESS A GROWING SEGMENT OF OUR SOCIETY…For all those people out there who think McCain is better …Where do you think all those families who were just foreclosed on will go? I am sure that they are your relatives. or your friends, or your neighbors. And No they are not just people who got in over their head and are looking to be bailed out as Sen. John McCain has stated. PLEASE WAKE UP!!!

Pundit,
I can’t say for sure, can you?
Are you trying to say that there is no reverse racism from blacks to whites?

This opening up and emotional bleeding is upsetting to those of us with a weak constitution, however, if we can follow this crazy period with one of valued judgement we can certainly get over this heartbreaking period of infighting and acrimony. We need the true Democrats to stand firm realizing what’s at stake in the upcoming General Election. If we allow the continuation deeper into fascism, which John McCain has promised to do, we can kiss the future, of those following us, goodbye.

texas outlaw:
I agree with you that many whites voted for Obama. That doesn’t disprove the statement that 15% of the white population is racist. Look at the exit polling from Ky, WVa, and even Ohio. Between 15-20% said that “race was a significant factor” in their decision. Of that group, between 75-80% said they voted for Hillary. There simply isn’t any other reasonable inference that can be drawn. And remember — those were DEMOCRATS! Imagine what the numbers are among Republicans!

Whether you like the Clintons or not, Democrats need to realize that party unity is everything. Many of Obama’s supporters haven’t witnessed or studied past presidential elections. Dismissing and disparaging the “hillbillies,” “trailer population,” “uneducated,” etc. is a recipe for electoral defeat. Democrats need the black vote, Latino vote, academic vote, youth vote, women vote AND the white working class vote. Heck, the Great Society and New Deal–Democratic pillars–embrace both minorities, women and working class whites. While those constituencies have been remarkably loyal to the Democratic Party, there has been one component that has strayed and might well be the reason for the Democratic Party’s lackluster success at electing presidents. As we know, the party’s success rate at electing presidents is dismal. We have elected only four Democratic presidents in the last half century–and only one of those served two full terms. Those four are JFK, LBJ, Carter and Clinton. All of those presidents won with considerable support from the white working class (one of the reasons that LBJ was selected as JFK’s running mate was so that he could help deliver Southern whites). Both Carter (in his first campaign) and Clinton won by attracting significant numbers of this group. Both won states in the Rust Belt and more conservative Southern states. However, many of these more conservative (commonly called Reagan Democrats) constituencies bailed ship to vote for Reagan in ’80 and ’84; Bush in ’88, and Bush in 2000 and 2004. Clinton retained their vote during his two presidential elections. The only successful Democratic presidential candidates in the last 50 years (the few we’ve had) have won with the significant support of white working class voters. The Democratic Party needs to come together, and members have to stop the disparaging remarks and snobby attitude or else we forfeit an election that is ours to lose.

> fiasco to show the nation how messed

And I do recall Hillary and her supporters complaining about the DNC rules at the beginning of the primary season … NOT!
Neither Hillary nor Obama said much about the Florida or Michigan outcome precisely because BOTH (ALL) candidates agreed to the rules AT THE BEGINNING. The time to complain about the unfairness and/or alleged undemocratic nature of the rules was WAY BACK THEN.
Why do you suppose all the fuss now? Could it have something to do with the fact that Ms. Clinton is losing? Nah. Couldn’t be that. It’s just that Hillary (and her supporters) found Jesus months into the race and realized how bad their party rules were.
Give me a break! You’d have to be drinking some serious Kool-Aid to not see this gamemanship for what it is — any and all efforts to get back what a candidate wrongfully believed would be their’s.
Pride cometh before a fall. Karma. And all that.

And the nation breathes a collective sigh of relief.
Have a nice retirement, Bill.

Let’s just all take a deep breath and think beyond our navels. The General Election is about the future of our country; that’s what’s at stake. The criminals have taken us to the verge of doom, McCain will shove us all over the edge. So stop this pettiness over which of our two superb candidates crossed the finishing line, or likely to, first. We need to take our country out of the jaws of the demons. We need to bring back some of those lost jobs to these shores. We nedd to provide our children with an education that will enable them to compete in the world. We need to recsue our justice system from the croney fascists who have politicized it. We need to fix our infrastructure – instead of blowing up parts of Iraq we need to use the money spent on bombs toward making things better here at home. We need to solve the nightmarish mortgage crisis. If you all cannot understand that this boondoggle, this high crime of theft perpertrated on the American public by the Bush regime and the continuation promised by John McCain, then we will be doomed. So think about what life will be like for you after they’ve fleeced us and forced us into a third-world lifestyle. We have to stop them, but we’re making such asses of ourselves instead of plotting wise strategies to recover our beloved country.

Frankie ?
What should Obama apologize for? Those words were not his. I know it’s killing all of you Hillary supporters but these are the facts! Suck it up you sore losers and stop trying to blame Obama! She ran her campagin very poorly and that stupid gas tax stunt was particularly pathetic.

If I am mistaken, Bill did not campaign for any of the elections since leaving office. do you think that Gore and Kerry would have won had he been campaigning and advocating the same? do you think that it was their plan to get this economy destroyed so that it would strengthened their chances? Hillary and Bill are about themselves, not about the party and the people. They sold off America while they were in office.
He forgot to mention: Barack Obama is no Kerry and GOre. He does not give up. He has the people he needs with him. He is from CHicago where they ruff and tough for things they believe in. Hillary’s supporters can go back to the republican tree they came from.
We don’t need bigots in our party.

Folks:
Step back and think. I realize we are in the last of the heated part of the primary campaign and some things said now could be incredibly damaging—-
Remember 2000, Obama fans. Had Gore gotten Bill Clinton on the stump earlier—-these last eight years of tragedy and atrocity would have been much different, maybe never have happened. 9/11 might not have happened because the intelligence report that sat on Bush’s desk from August 6th until September 12 might actually have been read and something done to intervene.
This election is too important for you Obamacans to gloat. We need unity!!!!
As for Hillary supporters—she ran a tough campaign and is very good on the issues. Do you really think that McCain is closer to what her vision is for the country? Just take the Supreme Court—for all of those who are concerned about civil liberties—Do you think McCain will appoint anyone like Ruth Bader-Ginsberg? I see only more Scalias, Roberts, Alittos, and their ilk. Can you/me afford another 40 years of activist judges on the right—Think 2000 election.
For anyone who cares about international relations and our standing among the nations of the world, do you want to reinforce the Bush doctrine of might makes right—-world opinion be damed— “if you don’t like it—-too bad, I’m going to do it anyway.”
Diplomacy and negotiation and finding common ground where all can be winners is not in McCain’s rule book—-it will be at least 4 more years of Bomb, Bomb, Iran and Iraq and Afghanistan and who knows where else?
For all of those concerned about our military—look what eight years of Republicans have done for that—-Can you say Walter Reed Hospital scandal, can you say injured veterans returning from the war and not getting adequate support—the increased level of suicides, the lack of emotional support for families with soldiers on 2, 3, and 4 overseas deployments—the shredded state of an overstretched military and with worn, or worse, nonfunctioning equipment—remember the troops injured and killed because of lack of protective armor?
As for people at the margins of our own society, the poor, the elderly, the young, the sick—-Do you really think that McCain cares? If you are Latino/Latina or African American or Asian or anything besides a successful, countryclub, golf playing, upper middle class person——You don’t register with the Republicans—compassionate conservatism—what a lie that was!!!!
Please—take a breath; realize that the stakes are way too high for our society to put another republican in the oval office again for a long time.
I was for Hillary, voted for her in the primary AND I support Barak, will campaign for his election and hope to God, he wins.
WE can not afford 4 more years of Bush league rule, and neither can the world.
AND I am a white older American male who has been inspired by politicians and believe that we need a new generation of leaders like JFK and RFK.
Hillary, you’ll be great on the Supreme Court, or as a leading senator cut from the same cloth as Teddy—-.

Um.. it is tue that Obama has over a million small donors bu his braintrust and the real bucks come from congressional lobbyists that are in the Insurance industry for example… that the third way of financing he talks about without saying it… despicable… Oh we will fight you in the streets…. peferrably in Denver bu anywhere it this point…. the DR&B committee looked like abject fools on saturday!

Martin Luther King- fought for equal rights that extended to Hillary so that she and Obama can run.
Fannie Lou alkong with outer black owmen formed the Mississippi Democratic Freedom Party- formed a black party that would aloow blacks to vote since we could not vote in the white party.
The history of our country has been pro white and anti- everyone else. This sense of entitlement that they have. Everyine has to fight for their piece of the pie.
No president has more of a white and black side with an immigration experience than Obama. so after all of this talk about us intergrating, how can you talk like we are in the 60′s and 70′s. Black constituents have been the MOST loyal to this party. why nt let other constituents of this party represent the whites. You can not always have whites respesent all of us and then get mad when a black/white man wants to do so.
If you white people could allow people liek robert Byrd and david dukes, former KKK members, you can allow Obama, a man you all consider black when in fact he is black and white.
P.S. Just thought I’d teach you something, you are adopting the historic “one drop of black blood” rule. Slave owners used this alot against black people as well as the Jim Crow laws. m Youmight want to educate yourself a bit about black history and fast forward to 2008 where any one should have a chance to be president.
Obama -08′ don’t hate, just participate

ChinO75,
Don’t write of the old Foggies in the Republican party. Not all of them believe there is more then one internet.
You speak as though Obama has a wrap.
You will also be suprised how many people will show up and vote against Obama, no matter how much he spends.
Take a look at PA, OH, and WV. Obama spent a tone of money and look what it got him. To many people are getting caught up in the Obama rallies. Rallies and fund raisers do not equal votes.

Nik,
Obama is not going to pull out of Iraq either. So put a cork in it.

Some of you need to listen to yourself. Whining over the fact that one candidate lost to another.
Politically, there is very little difference between the two. Personality-wise, there is a universe of difference.
Obama ran the better, smarter campaign — within the rules agreed to by all sides. Hillary made some serious tactical errors early on (the most serious being that the primary was noting more than a formality) and when it was starting to become clear to her that she was not going to be able to catch up, she wanted to change the rules.
She also decided to sabatage the nomination. If SHE wasn’t going to win, then she was going to make sure Obama wasn’t going to win either. She gave her supporters “permission” to vote against Obama in the General Election by saying Obama couldn’t win because of his race, or because he wasn’t “experienced”.
Obama never said Hillary couldn’t win because she was a woman.
As far as “experience” goes, being the wife of a president isn’t much of an experience. My wife is a brain surgeon,but that doesn’t mean that I can perform brain surgery.
All of you women out there complaining about the “misogyny” going on because a woman lost to “an inadequate black man”: vote for McCain and you can be sure to kiss abortion rights and virtually every gain women have made over the past fifty years goodbye.
A woman is going to become president someday. Just not THIS woman.

Nikki, I am not worried about the delegates the Obama got in MI. It is how the committee decided to give them to him. They should have left them uncommitted as the candidate suggested they do and made the delegates vote for Obama instead of just giving it to him. He took his name off the ballot and should not be rewarded for it.
Has nothing to do with him wining the nomination, it is about counting votes after a voter went into a booth and voted. Everyone should be fighting them on this, including the Obama camp. they are more concerned with naming a nominee then they are about counting votes. They set a horrible president. In fact the president they set shows that Hillary should be the nominee. She is winning in the polls and should get the nomination based on polls not acutal votes or delegates. Let’s just let anothe committiee decide who the nominee is and throw out all the votes if your going to throw out 600000.

LOL Nik

Peter Piper, it is random chance that all the blunders of the DNC worked against Hillary this year right? Your right Obama is winning the delegate count. Some where actually given to him by people other then voters that is what is sad. So go ahead and talk about the Clinton supporters as though their candidate is the only one with excuses.
Obama supporters are already crying racism and the GE has not even started yet. We will see what the final talley is.

You are factually incorrect Texas Outlaw.
The ‘precedence’ set forth by the superdelegates does not conclude that Hillary should be the nominee. Exactly how are you supporting such an argument? When Clinton was the inevitable nominee, she stated Florida and Michigan do not count. Clinton’s position for Michigan proposed at the Rules and By Laws hearing on Saturday were in stark contrast the what was proposed by the Michigan DNC. Oh yeah…she wants a unified democratic party and is looking out for the interest of voters. Where was the counting all the votes rhetoric before she needed Florida and Michigan votes? The sad thing about most voters is that they have a faulty logic and propel it as truth. “She is winning in the polls and should get the nomination based on polls not actual votes or delegates.” WOW, that’s a new one. FACT: According to today’s Gallup poll Obama versus McCain shows Obama at 49% and McCain at 44%. In comparison, Clinton is at 48% and McCain is at 44%. It’s amazing how people have selective memory. Obama won 33 contests while Clinton won 18. If you don’t want to vote for Obama, fine. That’s your voice, your vote. I hope you’re an American that earns $150K+. If not, then you will be like the rest of us that are going live with four more years of econonomic turmoil. Good luck buddy!

Jefferson Davis – With all that education (wow, I am so impressed), you still sound like an ignorant, white supremacist

Nikki, since when is asking for them to count all the votes retorhic.
MI held an election. There was no problem with the voting in that election. The results of the election are accurate vote counts for voters that chose to participate. This committee chose to ignore what the voters voted for and divy up the delegate based on exit polls. If they can do that for MI, why don’t they look at other polls when selecting the nominee. Everyone wants to act like someon made Obama take his name of the ballot and he did it himself. Was there screwed up yes, but there was nothing wrong with the voting process. Obama even suggested voters vote uncommitted, to participate in an election he chose not to participate in.
Then they turn around and give all the uncommitted to him. That is what I am talking about. Taking votes out of one column and putting them in antoher to try and match up exit polls. If all of the uncommitted delegates where for Obama then they should make the uncommited delegates vote for Obama. Now if they truly for Obama he would get represented by the delegates.
So your saying that the 600000 people that voted in MI don’t matter. Votes are what matter, they are the basis of democracy, and when you start giving them away based on polls you have just laid a serious blow to democracy.
So we should disinfrachise the ones that voted to satisfy the ones that didn’t.
Your analogy about the ball game does not make since. Obama took his name off the ballot by choice. He did not want to hear the voice of MI. Let’s get real. It was a political favor to Iowa.
So Obama gets to play games with the political process.
Heres one for you. Try to win a million dollar sweepstakes without entering the contest and see how far that gets you.

Now that HRC has tried for the only thing she thought she might need Bill’s help on, I hope her FIRST move when it’s officially (by her standards) over, is to do what she should have done 10 years ago and finally DIVORCE the schmuck. That should be on her list way above whether she will campaign for Obama, accept a VP invitation, or anything else.

Never, little boy!

Obama 08
yea Obama is just the only african american that has come along that can be coherent as a presidential candidate so the DNC latched on to him… Jesse Jackson and Al sharpton etc… are no good because you cant understand them!

this jew, who lost cousins in that holocaust, will never vote for a man associated with farrakhan and wright.
JEWS DEMOCRATS FOR MC CAIN
………..
Frankie yo are an idiot. McCain sought the endorsement of Rev Hagee. Do you KNOW what Hagee has said about Jews?
You are an i.di.ot.

Yesssss!
President Obama has a nice ring to it.
It is a forgone conclusion. Accept it people and start working for a better tomorrow.

Dave
there has never been a reality of it and never will be any President Obama… there will be no concession tomorrow night and you will suffere the consequences for even supporting such a candidate … there will be repercussions and you will face them!

Now Bill can go back to doing what he does best; chasing poontang and avoiding that horrible wife of his.

If we are lucky, Bill and Hillary will leave politics forever.
My fear is that Obama will invite Hillary to be his running mate. I really hope that he understands that she will do ANYTHING to be President.
It will be a truly tragic state of affairs if protecting the President from his Vice President becomes the main function of the Secret Service.

I’ve been saying it for MONTHS: ALL BLIND, MAN-HATING, DESPERATELY UNEDUCATED/DELUSIONAL HILLARY CLINTON DIEHARDS PLEASE LEAVE THE DNC. LET’S SEE HOW MANY VOTES YOUR BACKWOODS, SAME-SEX, BLUE-COLLAR, ALL WHITE CONSTIUENCY CAN DRUM UP ONCE NO ONE IS LISTENING.
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t get what you Hillary Nutts dont get, it’s over! By the way I’m not talking about the Hillary folk that are sane and know where their loylities are. Understand Even if Hillary tries to help McCnutt win in 2008, and she runs for president in 2012 she will never get the majority of black votes ever! Even though black men and women are just a small part of the Democrats base, we are one of the most loyal voting blocks in history. The thing that saddened me as a African American is that most of us including myself needed the Green light from white America in order for us to open our own eyes and vote for a serious Black Candidate for President not because he was black but because he was a great candidate. It seems even in 2008 some of us still have not broken the shackles in our own minds. I do thank my white brothers and sisters for sending the message loud and clear that we as Africian Americans are being seen as capable and equals, I think that we have been fighting the good fight for equal rights so long that we have lost sight that we have picked up a quite a few friends of all colors, genders and backgrounds. I myself hope Sen. Obama picks a Women as his VP! NOT CLINTON AND NO WOMAN SHOULD JUST SETTLE FOR HER BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN, THEIR ARE PLENTY OF QULIFIED WOMEN IN AMERICA THAT WOULD BE A GREAT PRESIDENT OR A VP. I think we all know what this election was about I hope! In my opinion this has been a battle to break through the hearts and minds of Americans that just haven’t caught up yet with the times and that glass ceiling that we all know is their but don’t want to talk about because of the fear of getting labled a whinner, lazy or just trying to take advantage of your Race or Gender for self gain. We all know that life is not perfect and yes their are some dishonest people and yes their are gonna be people that use these issues unfortunatly to get ahead or as wedge issues, as we have seen clearly with these primary elections but I think the message has been sent loud and clear Americans, America! has and is moving forward and we are a better Country for it. It’s now time for us as African Americans to also continue are part to break the old sterotypes about others and ourselves for that matter, that we are one America no matter your Race or Gender and we should all celabrate and repect eachothers differences and the celebrate and respect the things we have in common. Obama has proven that if you have the will and the drive even in the face of people out their in the world that dont want to move into the future, that he can still dust himself off and get right back up and fight for himself, his family, you and I and a better America, so we have no more excusses… It is Obvious that Hillary will not only lose black votes, she will lose White, Hispanics, Men, Women old, young, rich and poor. We as black folk know that we are a very forgiving people but if Hillary and Bill dont apologive for all of this white Blue-Collar Race and Gender baiting mess We might not forgive and will not ever forget. Hillary and Bill just to make it clear! the party will never forgive you for turning your back on the Democratic Party. If you were smart you would quit will your ahead because your politicle lives will be over if you do not stop this maddness…….. Make the right choice Bill and Hillary or pay the price and join the unemployment line if you are responsable for getting John McCain elected.

These blog comment threads are such a huge waste of time. Debating politics on the internet is a waste of time. Even the most honest among you are still spreading little white lies in hopes of making your team win.

There are a lot of people rightly upset about the FL and MI primaries.
Unfortunately the anger has been misdirected to the DNC, apparently because their candidate is not winning.
MI Democratic Party insiders decided to disobey the party’s rules in some selfish attempt to give their state more clout in the presidential selection process. Its incredible that they seem to feel no sense of responsibility for the mess they created.
And in FL, it was the Republican-controlled FL legislature who decided, knowing full well the Democratic party rules, to disenfranchise FL Democratic voters. Hopefully FL voters will punish those who voted to disobey party rules at the polls.

Anyone else notice the picture of Bill Clinton on Drudge today? Bill looks like he’s the 90 year old on his last legs, while Senator Byrd, who’s 90, looks like a young man of around 60, Bill’s age.

As I read the comments posted on this page , I am becoming increasingly disappointed in the people calling themselves Democrats. I am almost ashamed to say that I too, am a Democrat. For the last 8 years, george w. and the rest of the Bush Crime Family have hi-jacked and virtually destroyed this great country. Democrats have been praying for his reign to come to an end. We were blessed with 2 great candidates running for our nomination. Somehow in some way, we are now at each other’s throats. I am an Obama supporter but I am frankly appalled and disappointed at the vitriol being directed at Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton. Bill was a great president not withstanding all the silly sexual scandals. We should not forget that. Hillary would have been a good president. Where is the common sense. I see people here saying they won’t support Obama or will vote for McClain. Are you people crazy? How quickly we forget the last 8 years. Katrina, Spy without warrants, illegal war, no bid contracts, corporate malfeasance and on and on. You want more of that? I understand the disappoint of the Clinton supporters,… but vote for McClain?!! That’s just crazy. Obama might be your first choice but you cannot tell me that he is not better than the alternative.

texas outlaw:

“She did no sabatoge the nomination.”

Maybe not quite yet, but she appears to be working at it. First she attacks the frontrunner of her party by saying the Republican candidate was more qualified than he is. Then she tells people that he can’t possibly win the “white working class voter” because he is black. She wants to cling to some specious argument that she is winning the popular vote — a figure she reaches by NOT counting several states that Obama won in. She wants to reserve her “right” to appeal the Florida and Michigan delegate decision to the credentials committee on the Convention floor. The problem with that argument is that she doesn’t have any standing if both states are fine with the decision last Saturday.
Yes, 17 million people voted for her. Another 17 million voted for Obama. But that and four bucks will buy you coffee at Starbucks. We don’t pick our nominees by the popular vote.
Hillary knows she cannot win the nomination, even on the floor of the convention. She’s known that since March. Hell, anyone who knows statistical math has known it since February.

“If you think she gave the republicans amunition your wrong, they have a warehouse full and ready to fire away.”

Hillary has been running for president since 1998. That “warehouse” is full of ammunition against Hillary, not Obama. Republicans have been preparing for Hillary for years, and when Obama started beating Hillary, they were left holding the bag.

“She had every right to stay in and fight til the end.”

I don’t disagree with that. Of course she had that right, and I wouldn’t take that from her. But where I have a problem is HOW she decided to run against Obama. She wasn’t intent on beating him — she knew she couldn’t do that — she was intent on tearing him down so that he became damaged goods and MAYBE the super delegates would see that he was damaged to the point where he couldn’t go on.
But that didn’t quite work out that way. Now she is making noises about dragging her campaign through the summer. The longer we go without a nominee, the more you just hand the election over to McCain.
If we lose the election in the Fall, it won’t be because Obama is a black man, or that he is “inexperienced” or whatever other tripe that has been trotted out, it will be because Hillary won’t accept defeat gracefully after Tuesday and work towards rallying the party around the winner — Barack Obama.

LOOSERS DON’T LIKE WINNERS.TED KENNEDY,JOHN KERRY JOHN EDWARD,BILL RICHARDSON…ECT ARE BIG LOOSERS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY;WE UNDERSTAND THE REASON WHY THEY THROW THEIR SUPPORTS TO SOMEONE THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW MORE ABOUT TO SHOW THEIR STRONG COMMITMENTS TO WORK AGAINST THE CLINTONS,THE WINNERS.THEY ARE JUST JEALOUS PERIOD
TEAM OF LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSERS

Gooooood Riddance Clintons. After playing a certain card and losing, not having a good platform then stealing his, that showed how classless they are. I have not been fooled by his policies when he was in office. I am informed, and hope many of you become. This last running by them showed me exactly what they think of African Americans and the poor. His bills passed amounts to 804 not adding his co-authored, hers for 4 years 20. How long was he in office? 6 years. WOW! I know politics is dirty but come on. They tried every trick in the book and is still losing. Only addressing caucasians? What a dumb move. It does come back. Soo GOOD RIDDANCE!
