Clinton Campaign Shows Signs of Slowing

Obama is elected by the media, not the voters. Bear in mind, he could never “win” by big margin when viewed at the same negative comment the media mocks Hillary. After all, half of the Democrats voted for Hillary. So why the Obama people think they could speak on behalf of everyone?

Come on people – she isn’t winning – she wasn’t ahead if you played by the rules that she had agreed to back when they were passing them – Obama is winning fair and square. So please don’t start saying he was given the nomination – he worked hard to get the votes – legally and by the rules – so no frowning faces – they both took a beating and only by uniting can the democrats come out ahead –

Contrary to the ‘Clinton spin’, Obama is well ahead in the popular vote – the VOTERS have chosen Obama…not the media.
In addition, it has been proven that the media did NOT treat Clinton unfairly…but they DID treat Obama less fairly because Clinton whined the media was being so unfair to HER!

I admire the strength and determination of this women. She is an inspiration to future generations. He can’t hold a candle to her. And now that it appears to be just about over, I can say with a clear head and with out anger, or disappointment, I will NEVER vote for Obama unless she is on the ticket with him. I WILL sit home.

It will be a relief to have her and her husband off the national stage for good, and the DLC dead as a door nail.

Hey char19145 you would have strenth and determination if you we 20 mil
in debt.Better grap a pillow and get comfy..Cause you will be sitting home
watching HISTORY
OBAMA landslide doesn’t need your
woooooo clear headed vote

Dave -
Clinton will not be leaving the national state. Why do you Obama has already started sucking up to her. He needs her if he stands a chance of winning in November.
Don’t be surprised if he offers her the VP. Don’t know if she will take it but he will offer it.

southamco, actually Huckabee didn’t drop out for quite a while after the handwriting. As I recall, the pundits and the late night comedians mocked him for it.

He will NOT offer her the vee p she is finished in the white house.People don’t want Billy anywhere near it.She went behind closed door when Bill was there what makes you think she won’t do it again …She is on trail for fraud…Honest you are blaming everyone but the right person Hilly lost itherself…..

I am so confused about how anyone can think Clinton has be treated unfairly. A lot of this she did to herself with the lies she has told at every corner. It is time for a change and I am ready to go. I actually voted for Hillary but as the months went forward and realize how dirty she could be I changed my mind alone with a lot of other people. Hillary, just let it go and get on board with the change to come. OBAMA! OBAMA!

Sorry char19145..Just something about
that couple just don’t set well..
Settle down ..be calm..I guess we all should be up in arms about an energy
policy none of them has…Gas prices
here $3.97 Diesel $4.13…Grab a Beer
before it gets turned INTO BIO-FUEL

Obama does not have the majority of Democrats, actually he carries only the AA vote and some college freshmen. He will not have the support of Democrats in the GE. He is unelectable. Write Hillary on the ballot. We may have to wait for 2012, but Obama does not have a chance.

Obama will be an ILLEGITIM nominee. Michigan voted for Hillary not Obama!!!

Ed in Maryland…See that’s just it, the COUPLE wasn’t running, Hillary was. Just like Obama was running, not his wife. But the media picked who THEY wanted, and went for the jugular of the other. So, I feel how I feel. Now, pass the Bud-Light.

Clinton Can Slow down. Never Quit.
The Majority of the Democratic voters chose Clinton. She is the only one Who can beat McCain.
That means They have serious Objections with Obama and with him ever being coming president.
Obama is a National Security threat.

WHY would McCain put Hillary on his ticket, because when asked last Monday about what is happening with Hillary Clinton he said words to the effect that she NEEDS to grow up, and didn’t McCain also make some very disparaging remarks about the way Chelsea Clinton looked–in essence calling her ugly? I’m wondering WHY the Clinton supporters who go after Obama WON’T go after McCain for HIS disparaging remarks about his wife–calling her a cu*t, and calling Chelsea Clinton ‘ugly.’
Humm, McCain Doesn’t sound like a man who LOVES women to me.

Once again this is not a team sport. The media is in a self serving position, bought and paid for and their viewpoints are unfortunately forced on the public to sway belief. Listen to your heart not the news. Do what’s best for the country not the party.

Guess after Tuesday night. I’ll enjoy my summer and Fall, with a total media blackout, because I have no interest in the Dog and Pony show that the DNC will have her and Bill Perform and I’ll tune back in on November 4th, for the results of my vote to McCain, it’s been real. I for one will be letting the media know that I don’t appreciate them pushing Obama down my throat and will have a total media Blackout and I will let he DNC know that I don’t appreciate it with a Convention Black out and let the Obamabots argue amongst themselves with a total Blogging Blackout and I’ll be back on November 4th

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets hope that she and her husband won’t support McCain. Some of her followers maybe vote for McCain, but that’s ok, they are stupid losers anyway, we don’t need them.

Ivy, the Clinton’s are finished. Get use to that. Most people, the media, and the majority of people outside of the democratic party have known this for a long time. Only about 45% of democrats like her. That means that 55% of the democrats do not like her. And ask yourself why!
It’s not because she is a woman. It’s not because Barrack Obama is black. It’s because all the Clinton’s know what to do is spin, lie, and flip fop. And NEVER admit they were wrong or apologize.
Hillary has run her campaign like a very desperate desperate and crazy person. Don’t forget that before any of the debates. before Hillary spoke in public, she was favored. Then it happened, she started talking!
So don’t blame any one accept Hillary and Bill Clinton!

There was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq until we went then and opened up the borders. Iran was a power but it was contained by Iraq. Sadam was a dictator with evil crazies related and working with him but his people didn’t live in the hell that exists now or over the past few years.
Aside from the over 4,000 dead and tens of thousands of US troops injured–let alone their “uninjured” relatives the flawed invasion has other costs.
One other example of the economic burden of the flawed invasion of Iraq. Our military presence in Iraq alone accounts for almost 10% of US consumption. Summarized from AP:
The U.S. consumes about 21 million of the world demand of 86 million barrels of oil per day.
The Defense Department is the nation’s single largest user of energy. At 1.6 million gallons a day in Iraq, the war alone accounts for over 7.6% of US demand. If we were to account for total military, let alone government usage we would be over 10% at least.
Getting out of Iraq would cut our consumption almost 10% and likely cut prices too. Iraq is guaranteed consumption at this point.
THANK YOU JOHN McCAIN

So the media “proved” that the media didn’t treat Clinton unfairly. That’s rich. Cnn and MSNBC have been in the tank for Obama from the beginning.Cnn airs Obama’s regularly scheduled speeches to fit his agenda or to explain why he had to explain why he had to explain….why. Cnn makes slanted commentary daily. Cafferty rolls his eyes and gafaws every Clinton victory or positive story. And the only blog comments aired are negative Clinton comments or positive Obama comments.I no longer watch CNN.It’s sickening. And then there’s Olberman’s ranting.Not once, but twice.No ranting about Obama’s racist view or pandering.Or his recently leaving his church. Not for political purpose, of course.Chris Mathew’s salavitates every time Obama’s name is mentioned and can barely contain himself.And Russert looks like he’s going to cry every time Clinton has a victory, because he has to think of something clever to say to down play them. And they pass this crap off as news. Now Bill Clinton has a rage problem…coincidentily the same time Obama has another “preacher” problem. Who are they going to deflect to when Clinton’s out of the picture.That’s why the dust-up after the last debate.Charley and George were the only ones that even asked him any tough questions.You’d thought the sky was falling. Wait till the general debate. Once Clinton concedes, I give the RNC a week before they cremate Obama.

Red in Denver – Obama still leads Clinton by 10 points in national polls, so there is no indication that he would lose if we did it all again. Best 3 out of 5?

Hellary is trying to make a case for herself by saying she has gotten more votes than any candidate in history?
News flash to the beeatch: It does NOT mean anything! For starters, doesn’t the beeatch realize that there are more people on this planet than ever before? That THAT means there are more people in the U.S. as well? And how about all the huge class of boomers, young voters, and old pharts who refuse to die off as they did in the past?
So Hellary, It means nothing. Take your spin machine and go back to Arkansas. And take the randy old Billy Goat with you. Chelsea too. And do a little sould searching, get over it, and do what’s right for your country.
Hell hath no fury like a Hellary scorned (by the voters). !!!

I feel something near pity for the Obama folks that think Clinton supporters are just mad.
I’m not mad; more like disgusted with the Democrat party. As long as I am in my right mind, I will never vote for a racist (no matter their color) and I will never NOT vote.
I can take McCain…..I’m not of child bearing age, and Roe v Wade does not scare me. Though I would prefer to choose whether to have an abortion, I know I could never choose TO have one…so that don’t scare me. Our do nothing Congress is more dangerous than McCain.
So, if no Clinton, it’ll be Republican for me.

Bea,
Not so fast. Look who the republicans picked for their nominee. A guy that’s too OLD and too connected to bush/cheney. Why do you think they didn’t let cameras into the mc-more-war/bush fund party??? I would also like to know what took so long for mc-more-war to denounce the hagee endorsement. The ever-important Catholic vote may have something to say about that this November. Obama 2008!!!

What about a independint for Hillary????

The flawed logic of the Clinton campaign. (actually they know full well what they’re doing. They’re just the masters of spin.)
She is only ahead in the popular vote if you count all the primaries and count every Michigan vote for her while giving 0 to Obama from the whole state.
I’m thinking there must be a good number of voters who voted “uncommitted” but wanted to vote Obama.
Also, to only count the popular vote leaves all the states that held caucuses out in the cold.
Also, the compromise to seat the delegates from MI and FL at half value is more than fair. If the DNC didn’t punish them someway there would be no deterrent to keep this from happening in the future.
Also, for all of the Hillary supporters who are threatening to vote for McCain because the MI and FL delegates were granted half-votes, you don’t know the facts.
The Republicans also punished the states by stripping half their delegates, the same thing the Democrats are doing. So there is no difference between the Republicans and Democrats when it comes to the delegates from MI and FL.
Let us Democrats come together to stand up against McCain and more of the same.
Obama 08

Clinton supporters will be right here campaigning for Mccain. Obama is done for he will lose in the general election and go back to Chicago. The DNC must like to lose elections.

Ivy, the reason they can speak for all democrats is that Obama is ahaed in the nomination process (news flash). same way our president speaks for all of us (regardless of which president) when roughly half the people did not put him in office. It is called a majority (of delegates).

You only need half (50%) plus 0.000001% to become the majority votes and winner takes all. So Obama can win and all the Democratic states plus some southern states and western states.

Red In Denver,
I agree with you that it doesn’t benefit Obama to put down Senator Clinton. But I think Clinton’s supporters had their share of rude comments toward Obama and his supporters. I guess that’s the nature of the beast–the primary has been a unique experience to all of us and has brought out our passionate and irrational side. We now need to move forward and unite to defeat our common opponent-McCain. I agree 100% with you, neither Obama nor Clinton would/could win the election in November without the other’s supporters. Shall we keep the bigger picture in mind and stop bickering once and for all?

UNDISPUTED FACTS:
1. Hillary won in 17 large, mostly BLUE states (and 297 electoral college votes) Democrats have any realistic chance of winning %u2013 Arizona (10), Arkansas (6), California (55), Nevada (5), New York (31), New Jersey (15), Texas (34), Tennessee (11), Ohio (20), Florida (27), Michigan (17), Pennsylvania (21), Kentucky (8), New Mexico (5), Massachusetts (12), West Virginia (5), Indiana (11), Rhode Island (4), and Puerto Rico (Commonwealth).
2. She already proves she can take 297 electoral votes. To become president you need only 270.
3. These mostly BLUE states have the majority of the Electoral College votes – which determines the presidency.
4. Unfortunately, Obama won in mostly RED states where mostly GOP out number democrats 3:1 – so it”s Gore, Kerry, and McGovern all over again. Even if Obama could win there – it”s only 199 electoral votes.
Therefore, as we much as we once respected Obama, until he didn’t offer Hillary the VP spot to unify the party, he is not going to beat McCain.
The true majority that matters most is who will win the National election and not a primary.

Red in Denver…………
You said a mouthful! I am one of those Hillary Clinton supporters and I must say that Obama’s supporters are not doing a thing to bring unity to the party. The only they are interested in is the “Prom King” winning his crown!
I am an Africa-American and I’ve never seen such an example of reverse racism as I’ve seen during this campaign. Obama has been shoved down our throats and glorified on every network as if he’s the Jesus resurrected! I will not vote for an inexperienced candidate who has never governed or run a business of any kind. Obama has no real platform to offer other than “CHANGE” and “YES WE CAN”. I have no intentions on voting for John McCain, so I’m excersing my right by NOT VOTING AT ALL in November.
This entire campaign has made me sick to my stomach. I hope Obama and his “followers” are pleased. The country is divided even more!

The reason the DNC is so much behind Obama is because they are afraid blacks are going to riot… because that’s what they do when they don’t get what they want… they are uncivilized!
Are they also going to riot when he looses to McCain? Maybe the RNC should give up now and save their money.

Nat Turner I totally agree with you! It’s in the air! CHANGE is coming! There is nothing McRelic can do about it!
OBAMA 2008

Carmen, I understand the discontent of many women with the current situation. The problem is that just because many woman want a particular candidate, that in and of itself does not qualify a candidate. HRC has pushed bills in Congress that have named post offices, given props to college teams from new york state etc. If you want to be known for your experience, then actions speak louder than words. She is not anymore qualified than Obama, and her arrogance got her to where she is. She should have had this race wrapped on super tuesday, instead, she lost it on super tuesday. if you want to point to Obama’s associates and blame him for their comments or actions, then be careful because HRC’s are not any better (see Bill Clinton).

US Clinton supporters dont like obama because he is a lier and not a realist

This is interesting. “they can use the plane ticket to fly to the base of operations, or use their own money to fly home.”
I sense an Independent run.

Obama bought his nomination. He outspent every candidate in history on tv ads, didn’t he? Not only that, he got a ton of free publicity from the liberal media. The most liberal leaning senator in congress used good old American capitalism and corporate media to win his nomination.

Concede, Hillary, the people have spoken.

Idependent Hillary 08

NoMoreLies *** You’re so right! CHANGE IS COMING! For once, an African American will lose the Democratic nomination.

Whining doesn’t work NAT??? How did Obama beat Hillary then??? I didn’t hear him talk about the issues once. All he does is say change change change change. I want to know how.

Andrew, you call HRC a realist? the same person that will pull the troops out of Iraq in a year (lol)? and who refuses to throw in the towel in the face of everything telling her she lost already?

Obama is just another politician that loves lobbyest he can give a good speech but lets look at his work in the senate not impressive at all I think you should listen to the sean hannity show!!!!!!

She let her ego get in the way and anointed herself the next president. She never expected to have a formidable opponent, and instead of rising to the challenge she showed what a whiny crybaby she is. It’s funny how she never cried sexism when she was ahead in the polls, and how she was okay with Michigan and Florida’s punishment until she needed their votes. She’s the reason she lost. She doesn’t deserve to be president nor does she deserve to be VP. A complete shut-out would be a fitting end to her campaign.

THE LAST PRIMARIES ARE TOMORROW SO WHAT IS THIS HEADLINE FOR??????
THE MEDIA JUST WONT QUIT..
UNTIL SOMEONE GETS THE MAGIC NUMBER, IT AINT OVER. LOL

With Obama dropping harassing bombs on McCain daily combined with Moveon.org hitting him broadside, in addition to Democratic 527′s suppressing him from the rear. He’s going to get flash backs of being shot down on his first Rookie Mission over Vietnam.
And that’s not adding the American public who loathe continuous war, permanent tax breaks for the most wealthy, corporate tax breaks that are unnecessary, Supreme Court judge nominations, etc. (McCain won’t get the chance)
America won’t put its future in a 72 year old warmonger with ties to George Bush. Believe me, many Americans talk a good game huffing and puffing while beating on their chests, but aren’t loyal to being masochists. You know it, I know it and the world knows it.
This election is already a wrap.
I can now see why Hillary Clinton needed a jackhammer to remove her from the podium. It was hers to lose and SHE LOST IT. Even she knew this was going to be a blowout Try back in 8 years Hill. 70 is not that old to become the first woman POTUS. Or is it?
Time to bake some cookies, said Hillary

The media and Obama followers make it out like he is winning by a landslide. Guess what, he is not. I find this whole campaign to be a disservice to the voters. The media has been biased in favor of Obama from the start to the point of destroying Hillary through their one-sided opinion journalism. Obama has been allowed to get away with crap that is disgusting. He is racist and manipulative and not even close to being ready for President. He is only close to half of the people’s choice for President. And that is only about half of the Democrats stupid enough to vote for him. I am so disgusted by politics right now, that Obama will not get my vote no matter what. If like some people say that it is a vote for McCain, then so be it. But my vote will not be for Obama. In good conscience, I cannot vote for a liar.

CONSIDER THIS: As a third party candidate she can win the electorate majority by beating both men in the swing states

Hey NAT!!! What has Obama done so far besides beat on his chest and say CHANGE??? NOTHING!!! He hasn’t done crap in his measly 3 years in the senate either. Why are you guys so in love with him anyway???

Nat Turner, What do you think about thi, Instead ofoObama wind surfing, what about obama going back and forth on a skate board with Rev. Wright on one side and Ferrican on the other side. We would swift boat him but, wait he has never been in the service.

Susan – “Obama bought his nomination. He outspent every candidate in history on tv ads” – On the other hand, he raised more money than anyone in history. Seems like he and his campaign were pretty successful.

Every democratic candidate acknowledges this, and takes their name off the Michigan ballot. Every one except for Hillary, who leaves hers on. (cont’d)

SOME WANT CLINTON TO GO INDEPENDENT…
DONT FORGET CLINTON LITERARILY REBUILT THE DEMO PARTY AFTER THE WOEFUL FAILURE OF CARTER. . . EVEN THO THE PARTY ELDERS DESERTED THE CLINTONS, THE REST OF US WERE THERE AND WE LOVE THE CLINTONS.
SURPLUS, PROSPERITY, PEACE AND QUIET OF THE 1990s.
THE REPUBLICANS FED US HIS PRIVATE LIFE AND PORN WE DIDNT NEED…
LONG LIVE BILL CLINTON
HILLARY WILL BE EVEN BETTER IF WE DIDNT HAVE DNC LOSERS.ORG
TJ, THE CLINTONITE FOREVER.

I applaud ABC in being the first news channel whom I saw report that Hillary Clinton’s claim that she has the popular vote is based on her adding the votes from Michigan of +300,000, a state where Barack Obama was not even listed on the ballots.
It is absurd that delegates were given her in Michigan, and in my estimation that she was able to add Florida (delegates and votes).
Thank you ABC for at least declaring (even though not a full report on the subject)this questionable claim made by the Clintons and her campaign.
Actually, I believe it severly hurts the Party, as many if not most voters do not understand, nor will they find out, what really happened, and how very wrong and unfair this all was. They will just believe her and her campaign, and even I would be disgruntled and dismayed IF I believed that the candidate who won the popular vote wasn’t selected and was superceded by the delegates. This would make me downright mad!!!

The Obama fans in here need to start admitting that he is not qualified to run this country. Without a teleprompter he is NOTHING.

libre | Jun 2, 2008 4:25:47 PM
You ASSERT:
obama blocke the will of the people of Florida and Michigan, he is antiDemocratic.
========================================
Can you do anythng more than just ASSERT this? In what sense did Obama “block the will of the people”?
What people? Do you mean all the potential voters who might have gone to the polls in Florida and Michigan if they had thought it was an officially sanctioned primary?
Do you mean all the people in Michigan who CERTAINLY would have voted for Obama in Michigan, but didn’t because he name was not on the ballot?
Is that the will of the people you are so concerned to defend?

I guess this should tell the party that Bill isn’t going to be campaigning on its presidential behalf.

Hillary lost this nomination because she lied about sniper fire. Then she ran a mean and very dirty campaign against another fellow Democrat. She stopped attacking the issues and started attacking the other Democrat. How selfish is that? This angered the Superdelegates. Hillary was not running as a Democrat. She was running as herself and she tried to divide the party. Those superdelegates were having none of that. That’s why she lost all those superdelegate votes to Obama. So please stop blaming the media. Stop blaming Obama. Stop blaming the Superdelegates. Stop blaming the DNC. The blame is all Hillary’s, Bill’s, and Mark Penn.

libre, we also know that Obama stomped the lights out of that lady in the pants suit!

Jonathan – You’re completely right. I find it unbelievable that the Democratic voters of Florida were taken advantage of by their Republican state officials, and the way alot of them are taking out their displeasure is by threatening to vote for a Republican, Senator McCain. They’re playing you like a fiddle.

At least if I vote for McCain I know what I might get which is more of the same, and while that is not a good choice I would rather know than NOT KNOW and with Obama that is what I will get, I don’t know what his mystery change or hypotheticals are, which at this point I think I should know by now, but I know as much about him now as I did when he first announced his decision to run for POTUS which is basically NOTHING.

When asked directly when Clinton will step aside, Elleithee told reporters “as she has said dozens and dozens of times she is in this race until we have a nominee…Until there is a nominee she is going to try to win support.”
Well, that should settle the questions about what the Wednesday a.m. speech will be about since after tomorrow’s primaries, there WILL be a nominee, and it won’t be HRC.

lets vote mcain we havent learned our lesson

I supported Hilary, but if Obama is the candidate I will vote for him. Voting for McCain or sitting home in a snit isn’t going to do anybody that supports Hilary’s ideas any good.
It was a hard fought battle, and Obama won and won honorably. I’m disappointed that Hilary hasn’t won. But good Lord, four more years of the Republicans! None of us want that. Let’s all take a deep breath and work together.

catleya, when Hillary was behind in the popular vote, but ahead in superdelegates, she was demanding that the superdelegates “should NOT be swayed by the will of the voters.” And that’s a direct quote. And now you’re crying that “The SD’s don’t represent the will of voters.” Well, that’s the way Hillary wanted it, and now she got it.

Ryan,
I’ll let your comments speak for themselves.
By the way, not going into Iraq would have saved the US 3 trillion dollars, not to mention the lives wasted (do you know anyone who served, or who was hurt? I do …), and the effort that could have been spend on something worthwhile, like getting off of terrorist oil.
That’s $10,000 for every man, woman and child in the US. I don’t think that’s minor, but I suppose if that’s your viewpoint, it’s a free country (for now, anyway).
If you want to counter with a list of McCain’s accomplishments, please go ahead. If you want to go berserk, and call a complete stranger “dumb” or “naive,” and claiming that Obama has said nothing about his policies (try looking at his website, it’s filled with policy after policy), be my guest.
And I encourage you to sign “McCain ’08″ after those posts, just because, well, you make McCain supporters look SERIOUSLY uninformed, and just plain mad … wait, what ARE you so angry about, anyway? Seriously? What is it that you stand for?
McCain is a destructionist. So is Bush. You are as well. Some people are more interested in what we’re going to do to FIX THIS MESS that Bush, and the politics of HATE and DESTRUCTION have given this country.
And some – I think it’s the minority – are too P***ED off to think straight. I can handle anonymous attacks over the internet from those people, I’m not concerned.
I’m just saying I don’t want one in office.

Whether you are an Obama or a Hillary fan, I think we should get ready for a President McCain. Just look at the hate mail from within the Democratic party on all major Blogs throughout the USA.
It looks like, we have lost this one. Maybe, we will have a chance in 4 years. But I do believe one thing, Obama pulled out of Michigan, because he felt that he would lose. But I do not believe there is anything wrong with his decision. Looking at it from todays standpoint, it was a brilliant move.
Unfortunately, the real losers are the DNC because they are the idiots which allowed this mess to happen. Removing peoples rights to vote because of smoked filled room decisions is pure stupidity.
Last point, I do not know if Obama is a racist or not. From listening to all his pastors, the possibility exists. You normally associate with people who think like you do, especially within a church. As a Democrat, I have no reason to take the risk. Sorry, I will vote a safe McCain, even though I would prefer not to.

From AynRand II: $:40 pm
….I will absolutely NOT vote for him(Obama) in the GE. That is not being said in the heat of the moment and I will not change my mind and “come home” in November. Super delegates need to take note of those of us who are sincere about this.
And just how many ‘millions’ of you are there? What if HRC tells you to? What if SHE endorses Obama. If you’re a Democrat (er, a thinking Democrat), why would you give up your principles to not vote for Obama–why is HRC so important to you? Because she’s a woman? Is that enough for you to want at least 4 more years of a republican ‘regime’? Do what you think is best for you..it is your right, and I respect that. But IF you are a Democrat, please don’t let your vote be based on bitter vindictiveness.

Detour4 | Jun 2, 2008 4:34:14 PM: Just to be clear, Hillary should win this because of the “sniper-fire” story.
This was one of those issues the Obama camp used to trash her numbers, exhaggerated and spin out of control. Cheaps-shot, a lot of them. Clinton ran on issues. If I can say something bad about her campaign, it was old-fashion and a bit boring. She did not go negative until Texas with the 3 A.M-ad, and still then on issue of experience.
Clinton never did to Obama what he did to her on “sniper-fire”, labelling her a lier on an enhancement exhaggeration. Obama gaffe-machine from “Auschwitz grandfather”, “sweetie”, “48 states”, “Auschwitz uncle”, etc. Only gaffe’s she addressed were the one with political implications, i.e. “bitter” and “tea-with-Iran” gaffe turned politics.
In case you forgot, the point with the “sniper-fire” story from Bosnia in 1992 was the fact: Clinton was in Bosnia 1992. Clinton participated when talks on Northern Irland ended, she took women rights to China. Where was Obama in 1992? That my friend is experience.
If we agree the popular vote thing is a tie, why should superdelegates give it to the candidate we most dislike. We dislike Obama because he ran a negative campaign, he is not deserving.
Clinton beats Obama on issues, merits and character.

Jim,
I recall she said SD should sway what the voters will.
But the SD’s don’t agree and against it.
Remember when Bill Richardson and Ted Kennedy endorsed Obama.
They should endorse Hillary instead.

It’s funny that a cynic will continue to find something to whine and or criticize. It’s genetically embedded. Usually a cynic is someone who is already living a miserable life and looks to outside sources to blame for their own personal woes.
Cynics are rarely optimistic unless in cases of dispair. They love to hear someone is having a problem or at times hoping or wishing for something negative to occur.
Suffice to say, cynics will always remain in the mental crab bucket right along with other crabs pulling them down and making sure not one crab gets out.
This is a perfect case of crabs who are pessimists to the maximum and optimists who are always looking toward the good in all things.
You know what. GOOD beats EVIL everytime. Truth over rhetoric. Positivity over negativity.
CYNICS, don’t you know you will always lose? What has a cynic ever won?
NOTHING.
OBAMA 08

For most of last year, Hillary Clinton was the clear favorite to be the Democratic nominee — and very possibly to fulfill what she believed to be her destiny as the first woman to be elected president.
Unfortunately, as Barack Obama moves closer and closer becoming POTUS while running through McCain like a hot knife through butter, there’s a version of the seven stages of grief and loss in the apparent death of Clinton’s dream.
1. Shock. The Clinton camp was stunned by her third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses in January, and in some ways has never quite recovered.
2. Denial. Publicly at least, Clinton is still in this stage, insisting to supporters that the race isn’t over despite the all but insurmountable delegate math.
3. Bargaining. Clinton and her top aides have been cajoling superdelegates for weeks, trying to convince them that she would be the stronger nominee against Republican John McCain. Just as expected the votes for Florida and Michigan would be 50%, she lost a major battle.
4. Guilt. Not for Clinton, herself, necessarily. But there have been recriminations and a series of well-documented changes within the campaign headquarters. Some loyalists say her staff has not run the campaign she deserved.
5. Anger. It has surfaced most clearly in complaints about media coverage — what she sees as the coddling of Obama, and what she described this week as sexist, at times even misogynist, treatment.
6. Depression. She and her top advisers remain publicly upbeat, and there’s no outward sign so far of this phase, other than fatigue on the campaign trail.
7. Acceptance. This probably won’t come until after the last contests on June 3, when Obama would need high powered binoculars to see H Clinton
She’s finishing up anger and moving into depression mode.
From there, it’ll be time to get back into formation.
She’s not bigger than the democratic party itself, contrary to unpopular Clinton cynics.
OBAMA 08

If Clinton couldn’t defeat a relatively unknown Democrat, how the hell do you think she could defeat a long-established Republican? No one “stole” anything from Clinton; she lost the election, plain and simple, because of poor planning, poor campaign management, and complete lack of foresight.
And if getting revenge against Obama/the DNC/the media/the evildoer of your choice is what’s most important to you in choosing the next president, then this country is in far more trouble than we could ever vote or buy our way out of.

wake up, people! If either one of those two candidates had run as a Right Winger, the media would have jumped on them. All forms of media thrive on the bad news. They decide who they want for the next term and twist the story to support who they want. They do this with most big stories. Case in point, the media will cover juicy stories about crime, accidents and the war. Watch the news tonight and count the stories about the good work people do. There are the lives saved by EMS, the people that are helped by our soldiers in the litter box, There are the roads and buildings and the public utilities that are being rebuilt in Iraq by our troops. What about the church groups that go around and repair homes for those who can’t afford it. there are the good things that the VA does for veterans of all ages. None of this makes the news. All we see is the civilians that got killed or wounded by our troops trying to get at insurgents who kill just to kill. We see the stories of the damage done to already damaged buildings or the poor care given veterans who forgot to follow the procedures to get help. I get great care that I wouldn’t have because I lack the insurance to go elsewhere.
My point is that we hear every rumor or bit of gossip about any candidate but never the real facts. The media fails to report on the fact that Obama is a Muslim and has shown the total disrespect he shows for the country he wants to lead and the flag that thousands upon thousands of people have died for or fought for and the country you call home and the freedoms you have to speak out against them. We hear people like Garrison Keeler bitch about the fact that he can’t cross the street in DC to see some paintings because he chose the time that thousands of Veterans and Patriots rode their motorcycles in “Rolling Thunder”. A tribute on Memorial Day to the Fallen heroes of all wars. Those”fat old men” came from all over United States at their own expense with gas at the four dollar mark. The media let his self centered complaint be published but very little mention was given to the Veterans, or why they do this every year.
The stories you hear and read are as one sided as they can make them. No mention is made that if Hillary is elected, Billy boy will be back in the White House and it will be Business as usual, with Hillary signing the Bills that Bill tells her to.
Think before you vote

I like Juan Williams. He always says something real.
He was on GMA this morning.
He said something about Obama :
This is a young black AA guy who is running for president.
He wants A CHANGE, what kind of change…and so on…

The crazy thing is people think that because Hillary won the BLUE states in the primary that she would be the stronger candidate in November.
There’s no way California, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois and all the other BLUE states would vote for McCain in November. They’ll all be in Obama’s column.
On top of that, Obama is putting some traditionally semi-Red states into play like Colorado and New Mexico.
Obama’s strong grassroots organizing and fundraising and McCain’s lack of grassroots organizing and fundraising does not bode well for McCain.
Along with that, Democrats are outnumbering Republicans in new voter registration 3 to 1.
This sounds like an Obama/Democratic landslide in November!!! Let’s go Dems.

Also, Libertarian Candidate Bob Barr will take alot of votes away from McCain. He could be a Nader-style spoiler for McCain in this election.

Obama-camp still confident they have the superdelegates, and probably they do – now. In the eyes of the public, however, I see nothing but pain and ailements: Dems and Barack Obama, a failed candidate limping onwards unless a considerable number of superdelegates show leadership and get behind the lady with character, workethics and will to do this.
In keeping with their condecending campaign the Obama camp “planned surrender” offer to Clinton included Secretary of Health in a cabinet most likely not to happen.
Secretary of Health, that’s rich! Obama offers Clinton the job of explaining to people why his universal health-care plan fails to cover 15 million Americans.
Clinton beats Obama on issues, merits and character. Clinton 08!

I am happy that many on this board see the truth. That a Hillary fan voting for McCain is okaying four more years of Bush politics. Frankly, I don’t think our country can afford another four years, economically or militarily, as well as the risk of more ultra-conservative judges put on the Supreme Court.
I do hope Hillary bows out gracefully and fully supports the Democratic nominee, Obama. I would expect nothing less than loyalty from a true Democrat. We need to make sure the illogical Repubs in charge now are booted out. There is so much work to be done, electing a Democrat is just the beginning, to help us all out of the myriad of messes Bush and company have gotten us into.

We will see a one legged short, deaf and dumb transvestite president before we see a woman President.

There is a lot of hostility and misinformation on this thread. We have two good candidates with nearly identical policies, both historical firsts (AA and female).
The job they are applying for is President, and that job requires good organization, mastery of the issues, leadership and inspiration. Hillary has her strengths in these areas, but Obama’s campaign has shown him to have exemplary aptitude in organization, grassroots support, leadership and money management. He has stayed on message and kept his composure when things were going badly.
I have not seen these qualities as abundantly in either of the other two candidates, and they are critical for successful job performance.

“And seriously Toby … how did you learn to read my mind?” How did you learn to read Hillary Clintons mind?… you know that “I am entitled to it” garbage.

If Obama picks Hillary to be VEEP he better have a good food taster, too. The Clinton’s (both) would stop at nothing to gain a return to the power seat.
What we are observing is a passing of the generations, from the old guard (Clintons) to the new. It’s about time.

It’s almost like some Hillary supporters are willing to throw themselves under the bus.

Hi Toby,
My point – you seemed have missed it – was that you statement:
‘”When Obama supporters say “Hillary Clinton thinks she is entitled to it”, well that garbage came right out of Trinity Church.”‘
Is false, and absurd in its generalization. I know people who think that that Hillary feels entitled to the Presidency, who’s thinking did not come out of “right out of Trinity Church.”
Her actually beliefs play no part in pointing out that you are wrong, because you didn’t make a statement about her beliefs – you made a statement about the beliefs of Obama supporters (all of them?), which is easily disproven my something called a “counterexample.” (You may need to Google it.)
By the way, since you read emotion as well as you read minds – I’m not mad. Seriously. I think tweaking irritable / irrational people is humorous.
You need to practice, young Jedi.
And this obsession with entitlement … Dude, I was responding to your post! I really don’t care what Hillary thinks, anyway, since she’s not going to be the nominee, and will quickly fall out of the spotlight.
I was just trying to point out how silly some of the anti-Obama people are.

whoever.. in response to your post
Your absolutely wrong, I didn’t say all of Obama supporters, I said the Obama supporters who say “she is entitled to it” and you can’t argue these are the same kind of racist remarks coming out of Trinity Church. We all saw Father Pfleger just said these very words. Maybe you don’t it, but everyone sees this as racist remarks.
Also, I still don’t understand why it is OK for you to read Hillary mind, “she thinks she is entitled it” but it is not OK to read a racist remark as a racist remark? You know I think you are just a bunch of double talk. I am glad you are not angry though, I have to admit, I have been trying to see if you would show a different side.

As an Obama supporter, I always stated I would vote for the nominee whoever it was, and if Hilliary was the winner I would stick to my word. In politics, I am a Democrat first and am not a follower of a specific clique or family. Therefore, those who say they will stay home or vote for McCain should not complain when their sons and daughters are sent to fight in the Middle East, or complain when the economy worsens and we pay ten dollars for a gallon of gas. Loyalty to one individual will not end the war, lower gas prices, or improve the economy. Supporting a party that represents the needs of all Americans is essential to end the eight years of Bush’s tyranny.

Bea that was a gaffe. If you hold all the candidates to gaffes over a year and a half then no one would get elected. Have you gone for over a year without misspeaking?

The actual bottom line is you can spin this anyway you want to but the truth is Obama is leading in (legal uncontested) popular votes that are not part of the flawed process of early voting in both states. I don’t think the people of Florida or Michigan are flawed, I think the political figure heads are flawed becaue they could have secured a legal remedy but they failed to get it done, so they made a mess out of things. I respect the passion of Clinton supporters and Obama supporters alike, there is a much bigger picture to consider here like the war in Iraq, our economy and taking back the White House. Both candidates supporters need to work together and UNITE the democratic party to make sure that CHANGE occurs in Washington. If we democrats spend more time uniting our party instead of fighting among ourselves so our collective voice is heard, that voice will rumble not only in Washington, but our voice will be heard around the world. I want all Americans to UNITE so we can lead the world arena positively. Vote democratic and accept the results that were reached by the DNC. I support the democratic nominee whoever it is. I personally believe it will be Senator Barack Obama and if that is the way it is, I hope democrats show the republicans how tired of paying so much for gas and how tired of the real estate market falling apart you are. SAVE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY FIRST, then lend a helping hand around the world. Trust OBAMA and trust CLINTON they are both good Americans and I trust them to unite and get the job done in November. In closing this response I close with the highest respect for both democratic candidates and more importantly their supporters, because without us NOTHING can get done in Washington. OBAMA 2008.
