Clinton Spokesperson: She Is Not Conceding

ABC News’ Kate Snow and Eloise Harper Report: Clinton spokesperson Mo Elleithee came to the back of the press plane as Clinton flew from Rapid City to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

He was asked about Clinton’s definition of when a nominee would be determined -– because she has refused to accept the new 2,118 delegates number that the Democratic Party says is needed to clinch the nomination. 

"I think its pretty clear that she is not conceding." Elleithee said, "I think its pretty clear that she is staying in this race. She is going, in the coming days, to be aggressively courting uncommitted superdelegates aggressively courting unpledged delegates, making the case to them that she is a candidate best ready to take on John McCain."

When asked directly when Clinton will step aside, Elietthee 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."

He continued “until there is a nominee we are going to still work to become that nominee. When asked when they would determine a nominee would be selected –- because the Clinton campaign has refused to accept fully the 2,118 number –- Elleithee said, “we’re exploring — she has said before she wants to have this to be resolved before the convention — we are reviewing our options.”

Eliethee continued, “We do not expect that a nominee will be clear tomorrow night … she is mostly going to be working the phones and meeting with these delegates."

When asked why Clinton was spending tomorrow in New York at an event the campaign is calling a "victory party," Clinton’s spokesperson said, “it’s a good way to close out this phase of the campaign is come to New York bring all of her supporters together, have a big celebratory election night party as we move into the next phase of the campaign which is obviously the courting of these delegates.”

Eleithee would not say whether or not Clinton was working on the next phase, i.e. opening campaign offices in battleground states.  He was asked about the phone conversation between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton and said it was “a very short very pleasant con call.” He continued, “to my knowledge there wasn’t any substance discussed in that conversation.”

Clinton was in Rapid City, SD earlier this morning urging the people of South Dakota to come out and vote for her tomorrow. Clinton expressed her pleasure with her victory yesterday saying “we had a great victory in Puerto Rico yesterday, another lopsided win I am now over 300,000 votes ahead in the popular vote and  am slightly behind in delegates but were going to make our case to all of the delegates as to who would be the best president.”

Clinton made her argument, again with a focus to the superdelegates that may be watching,  saying she should be the nominee, “number one because that is the most important question and number two who would be the stronger candidate against John McCain and I believe on both of those question I am the person who should get the support to get the nomination for our party. Tomorrow is very important we started out way behind in South Dakota my opponent  has a tremendous base of support here but we put together an amazing grass roots volunteer based campaign.”

Clinton spoke softly to a supporter – who told Clinton that she might vote for Obama if she did not win. Clinton said “great” and then said, “we need a Democrat … lets take it one step at a time.”

McCain victory ’08

Posted by: Nicholas | June 2, 2008, 4:14 pm 4:14 pm

WHY is Obama STILL losing Primaries by huge margins? this late in the game, practically the nominee, and still the people don’t want him? McCain was the presumptive nominee ages ago, and has won every GOP primary by landslides since then. That is what you expect. However, Obama has practically been called the “presumptive” Dem nominee for weeks, and STILL manages to lose by gigantic margins near the end of the season….WV, Kentucky, and now PR, where he lost in all of his demographics….the wealthy, the college educated, the young voters. Does this sound like a winner to you? Superdelegates, think carefully…..only in America does the 2nd place winner in popular vote wins the election. It happened once in 2000, and now it’s happenning again. We, as a country, are going insane, really.

The Party’s Over, it’s time to call it a day.
They’ve burst your pretty balloon and taken the moon away.
It’s time to wind up the masquerade.
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid.
The Party’s Over.The candles ficker and dim.
You danced and dreamed through the night,
it seemed to be right just being with him.
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end.
Take off your make up, The Party’s Over.
It’s all over, my friend.

Let’s just wait till the convention.
Obama is going to make it abundantly clear over the course of the summer that he is not Presidential material.
Then the superdelegates can either do the right thing or fall on their swords…

Posted by: Mark | June 2, 2008, 4:19 pm 4:19 pm

I applaud you, Hillary! Keep up the good fight! It won’t be over until the convention! You have 17+ million supporters that are counting on you to be their nominee for the President of the United States! Hang in there! As has already been posted, the ball is about to drop on Obama and Michelle, and we will see his demise…YOU ARE THE STRONGER CANDIDATE AGAINST MCCAIN! THE SUPERS WILL SEE THIS AFTER OBAMA IS VETTED! Rise, Hillary, Rise!

“Clinton Spokesperson: She Is Not Conceding”
It all depends on the definition of “concede” I suspect.

Posted by: The Commander Guy | June 2, 2008, 4:23 pm 4:23 pm

I have no idea why the media STILL insists on antagonizing hillary when its ONE DAY away from the end.
They have yanked her chain about ‘quitting’ for 5 months.
Even at the end, when they couldnt force her out, and the voters kept voting for her, the media needs to MILK one last shot at her?
Selling headlines is one thing, but cmon man, she aint quitting until Obama has the delegates.
She is defiant, and in denial, but considering everything, its just human nature.
Once the superdelegates DUMP their votes onto Obama wednesday morning, she will suspend her campaign.
If Hillary has any notions about going any further, President Clinton is going to step in and talk her down.

Posted by: dummies | June 2, 2008, 4:25 pm 4:25 pm

Many Democrats are behind Hillary staying in the race! This is a democracy and as long as the people still want her in (and the largest majority does), she should not be forced out by the left wing media or the Democratic party bosses.

You do all realize that Hillary Clinton has run unopposed for over a month now.
You do realize that if she wrests the nomination away the republicans have plenty of dirt to aim at her.
You do all realize this, yes? we all know Obama will have dirt thrown at him by the republicans. The super delegates know it too. DUH!
If you think they will turn around and vote Hillary in August you are seriously delusional.
Do you think Hillary would run unopposed in a general? You all seem very unaware of the Clinton baggage, but let me assure you the Republicans are not.

Then what was this about?
In an afternoon conference call today with about two dozen top fundraisers, Clinton strategist Harold Ickes spoke in very conciliatory terms about Obama, in contrast to his tougher rhetoric in public and on television, according to sources. He told the participants that Clinton wants to “significantly” help Obama, but he did not go so far as saying that she will announce withdrawal — that is the prerogative of the candidate.

You know what I REALLY loved…Hillary Clinton campaigning in Puerto Rico and promising to get them health care. They don’t even pay income tax to the US, MY God…she would say anything to get elected!!!

Posted by: dreamer | June 2, 2008, 4:30 pm 4:30 pm

People go back to your familes. Raise your kids, say hi and visit your parents. Like it or not the world will NOT end after the next election. We may be in another war and some people that you don’t even know may die, but YOUR life won’t change too much from today. The President is a PR stunt. It’s the people who fund him or her that do the real dirty work. Your wasting all this time over and over again, arguing over the packaging instead of the package! It would be nice if you could direct some of this vitriol to some people you actually CAN hold accountable… like your representatives!!! Come on, get OFF these sites and get AFTER your representatives in congress who effect your neighborhoods, businesses and homes. Stop pointing the finger at each other an go after those who are REALLY in power. Then you be doing something productive, instead of cloning and attempting to impersonate the vapid rantings of Rush Limbaugh or Al Franken.

The media are trying to pit Obama and Hillary supporters against each other to the bitter end.
The media is suffering from multiple personality disorder today. I have seen articles from the same news sources posting diametrically opposed information. Maybe they should gather the facts before they start posting things.

Posted by: Media Manipulation?? | June 2, 2008, 4:33 pm 4:33 pm

I think she wants it now cause 2012 and beyond is not in the cards, I think Bill and Hillary will be divorced by then and that will ground her chances for the future. Bill hinted by saying he proabably won’t be involved in a campaign like this again ever..

Posted by: Dee | June 2, 2008, 4:39 pm 4:39 pm

It is so obvious that Hillary is a strong fighter and although I am a republican, I really admire her tenacity. She really has what it takes and some experience to back it up. Im a McCain man and will vote for him, but I think if McCain was not around, I would vote for her. She is a gutzy and intellignent lady,.. I am scared stiff about the possibility of Obama being our president and Michelle Obama being first lady.. I dont know any polite way to put it but that Obams’s wife is really ghetto and I can not see our government having her as first lady. Carter lost Iran by not supporting the shah. Now we have to deal with a possibly nuclear armed Iran.. Bad times are coming if Obama is elected president. You do not even know how bad it will be but he will set us back many years in the disater of a Presidency with him . Dear God. Please do not let Obama win.

Posted by: G Travalini | June 2, 2008, 4:43 pm 4:43 pm

What I find amazing is the fact that Obama is now being all nice with Hillary, paying her all kinds of compliments, what a great candidate she is, etc. He knows his a$$ is grass come the GE without her support and the support of her followers. I agree with ObamaKnew, just sit back and watch Obama and his supporters self-destruct!

Posted by: david from texas | June 2, 2008, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm

Obama is not trustworthy. He has been lying about his spiritual mentors and church all along. How can you expect this will not be an issue if you have been staying there for more than 20 years? He had to quit the church because he wants to get elected. What a hypocrite he is! Absolutely not the change I can believe in.
I am a Clinton supporter and I approve this message.

Posted by: george | June 2, 2008, 4:44 pm 4:44 pm

Media Manipulation?? The only one pitting Obama and Hillary supporters against each other is Hillary. The writing is on the wall and has been there for a while. She has been given many chances to exit on good terms but she is more interested in her own needs than that of the Democratic party. She needs to be shown the door in force and Tomorrow night can not come soon enough. Because we will have a candidate for the GE on Wednesday!

MR. McAULIFFE: “We have 2.4 million Democrats in Puerto Rico.”
How many “democrats” in Puerto Rico came out to vote? Less than 400,000 out of almost 3 million registered voters. Puerto Rico loves Hillary !!!!. No one wanted to miss to opportunity of voting for her. To make things better, this turnout is record(for being the lowest) for Puerto Rico where average turnout in local elections is around 80%, the 2.4 million democrats who Terry was talking about. Women in Puerto Rico? Crazy for Hillary. Actually, this was the first primary where men outnumbered women, 51% men to 49% women.
We love Hillary Huckabee Paul Clinton!!

Posted by: carl29 | June 2, 2008, 4:45 pm 4:45 pm

I have been a democrat for over forty years and this is the first time I am ashamed to be in the party. This has been the most racist, sexist campaign I can ever remember. Every time someone questions Obama his campaign claims racism. The way his campaign went after Geraldine Ferraro because she dared state the facts is completely unbelievable to me. If Hillary does not win the nomination I will be voting for McCain. As for the notion of the Obama people only uneducated bitter white people vote for Hillary, I have five degrees and make a six figure income.

Posted by: Linda, CA | June 2, 2008, 4:45 pm 4:45 pm

I hope Hillary doesn’t concede at all, but DEFINITELY not until after the Montana and South Dakota primaries. That would be STUPID!
I realize the DNC bosses desperately want Clinton to quit, but she should not.
Every day we learn more about the New Messiah (BHO), and by August the delegates may come to their senses. We can hope, anyway.
Hang in there, Hillary! Do NOT quit!!!

Posted by: Rhys | June 2, 2008, 4:46 pm 4:46 pm

Why wouldn’t campaigning slow up for any candidate when the last primary is tomorrow??? What a bunch of garbage for a title — designed to confuse people and fuel opposition. On behalf of all the millions and millions of people and delegates who have VOTED FOR and SUPPORT Hillary Clinton, we CONTINUE to support her in this process and beyond. GO DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!

Posted by: Dee | June 2, 2008, 4:50 pm 4:50 pm

We have until August for the GOP machine to attack Obama with their arsenal and you can bet, it will be war and the GOP will win. In Denver, after Obama has been vetted for two months, the SuperD’s should come to their senses and see Hillary for the strong candidate that she is. It will be over for Obama and I will be thanking God for his demise!

Posted by: david from texas | June 2, 2008, 4:51 pm 4:51 pm

Why is Obama still losing primaries? Because Hillary is still competing and he has turned his attention to fighting the real opponent now. Clinton’s supporters are still fired up in the primaries, Obama’s more focussed on winning in November.
I think it might well turn out to be that history views this Primary contest as a fight between the ‘old’ Democratic Party of the Clintons, focussed on the big cities and doing everything to win, against the ‘new’ Democratic Party of Obama and the 2006 intake with a new emphasis in the west and south west. As ever in politics the new tends to win. As it will in November.

Posted by: markymark | June 2, 2008, 4:52 pm 4:52 pm

Don’t quit, don’t give up.
I strongly believe the super delegates will change mind, switch to Hillary.
Every time, when people do things in hurry, they make
mistakes.
If the super delegates are in hurry to make
endorsement, they will make mistake, and this mistake
is huge, it will drag the country to the wrong
direction, and for many years, it will be more
difficult for future president to make correction. So,
do right thing at the beginning.

Posted by: golfgirlusa | June 2, 2008, 4:52 pm 4:52 pm

Hillary wont run independent.
3 things will happen.
Obama picks her as VP and wins the election in a landslide.
Obama gets MUSCLED by Kerry, Kennedy , Pelosi and others in the party who want POWER , and try to force him into NOT picking Clinton. Then he is a world of hurt if Hillary and Bill dont endorse him and simply go home.
-Obama tries to ‘smooth’ over Clinton supporters in the media , slowly shaping them into calming down, then DUMP Hillary.
Which is NOT going to work .
The piece on President clinton in vanity fair is an attempt to dredge out old crap to ‘test’ what kind of outrage there is having Clinton on the ticket.

Posted by: dummies | June 2, 2008, 4:52 pm 4:52 pm

WHY ISN’T OBAMA CONCEDEING?
obama lost the popular vote, attempted to stop the American people from exercising their constitutional right to VOTE, harassed and pushed superdelegates to support him BEFORE the vote ended!

Hillbilly Hope, I am NOT uninformed. The clamor for Hillary to quit has been building for weeks, not just today. The DNC wanted her to quit several primaries ago.
I am unsure about South Dakota, but I think Hillary will win Montana (a “purple” state).
If Hillary wins either or both of tomorrow’s primaries, she should stay and fight for herself and for America.
Do you think I WANT to vote for John McCain?! Since you think I’m stupid, I’d better tell you in plain English that McCain is my SECOND choice, not first.
And, BTW, just because someone has a different opinion than mine doesn’t make that person stupid.

There is no doubt that the Democratic Party is Obama’s party now. On Saturday Obama had the votes to get HIS resolution for Michigan passed, the 50% and 50% split. However, his being so magnanimous to the loser, I mean Hillary, demonstrates how nice he is playing and how much power within the party he enjoys. His team went there and came out victorious.

The DNC made the grave mistake of going against their rules and moved the finish line up on Clinton’s behalf. Now, they are being burned by her self-serving agenda as she now refuses the 2,118 delegate mark that was agreed upon by all parties, even though the 2,025 delegate mark, WHICH OBAMA HAS ALREADY ACHIEVED, was the original (and correct rule). Clinton is in some type of alternate reality that is both sad, yet expected for someone with her level of greed and selfishness.

Posted by: Dean | June 2, 2008, 5:01 pm 5:01 pm

It is also fascinating how Clinton will outright LIE and claim the popular vote total, when any intelligent citizen can look up the #’s and see she is anywhere from 24,000 to 134,000 votes behind Obama nationally depending on whether or not you count the caucus states, and of course why in the world would Clinton NOT want to count the caucus states — EVERY VOTE SHOULD COUNT, right Hillary? YOU LOST, Hillary. Do the right thing tomorrow before you really embarrass yourself and destroy the democratic party in the process.

Posted by: Think | June 2, 2008, 5:01 pm 5:01 pm

Hillbilly Hope, why do you think the Republicans put forth such a weak candidate as John McCain? He doesn’t even have the support of the entire GOP. They were “saving” their “better” candidates for 2012 because they THOUGHT they knew Hillary would be elected this year. She was a shoe-in until Mr. Charisma came along and threw a wrench into the machinery.
Republicans know Hillary can beat their candidate, but it’s questionable who would win between Obama and McCain. Most polls show them statistically even at the moment.
Anyone who thinks the Republicans are hoping for Hillary is mistaken. Hillary can wallop McCain, but McCain has at least a CHANCE against BHO.

Posted by: Rhys | June 2, 2008, 5:01 pm 5:01 pm

The DNC will flushed with money. Obama supporters are more than eager to start contributing to the party’s war chest. So far I had not contributed because I did not want a dime of mine to go to Hillibilly. Remember that Obama’s supporters are not as POOR as Hillary’s voters.

George, YOU HAVE TO COUNT THE CAUCUS STATE VOTES. Quit posting lies that Clinton has the popular vote total when she doesn’t. She wants EVERY vote counted, and when you do that, and include the caucus states, SHE IS BEHIND OBAMA IN THE POPULAR VOTE.
This whole charade will be over tomorrow, thank GOD, when Obama clinches the nomination by obtaining the necessary delegate count.

Posted by: Eric | June 2, 2008, 5:03 pm 5:03 pm

Clinton is definetly the stronger candidate. If Obama is sooo great how come he still loses states by large margins. If they announce Obama as the nominee I am not switching my party but my family and friends are definetly voting for McCain. Obama is not ready to be president.

She should make use of her common sense and quit now. Failure to act accordingly she might be painted with ignominy and thereby bringing stigma to herself and the family.

All this talk about not voting for Obama does not surprise me. It would not surprise me if he loses in November either. Americans are clueless morons when they choose presidents, and then they whine, and whine, and whine, and whine about how terrible their lives are. Well, you should have known better in 2000 and 2004, the signs were very clear. And you should have known better in November 2008, when you vote for John McCain. Boo hoo, but you don’t deserve sympathy. You deserve ridicule.

Posted by: FilmMD | June 2, 2008, 5:04 pm 5:04 pm

Sotero….I agree…..some supporters may defect, but many, many, Hillary supporters will not go with Obama. They will vote for McCain out of spite if anything, in order to make a statement, myself included. What Obamasites don’t realize is the power of the number of Clinton supporters to sway the GE……why do you think Obama is trying to “suck” up so much to Hillary now? He realizes he has lost the GE if he doesn’t do some sucking up. However, he’s stepped over the line with Clinton supporters, he will never get them in his camp, therefore, he will be defeated if he is the nominee!

jimt, I think I agree with your position. On this (and every) forum, Hillary is being blamed for “tearing the party apart”, but this is misplaced blame.
The Democrats had an EASY victory in November with Hillary Clinton against Old Man McCain, but the DNC power brokers have thrown away this golden opportunity.
Now BOTH parties have unelectable candidates, except that ONE of them MUST be elected. What a strange year this is!

Posted by: Rhys | June 2, 2008, 5:05 pm 5:05 pm

I hope and pray that Hillary Clinton will not support obama and the Democratic Party. The DNC dumped all over her with their favoritism of obama – Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid actually think they have the right to declare obama the nominee and dump on Clinton. I hope she goes Independent and blows him so far away that the can’t even get back to the US Senate. Obama is a fake and phony. He has demeaned Clinton, never apologized to her about the priest and his reverend belittling and insulting her from a church pulpit. A church pulpit, where the Catholic priest says “damn”. Wow – nice church – then he “leaves” the church at a very convenient time – to try and save his nomination. Hope and Change – Ha!
Clinton will win by a landslide if she goes Independent. If she starts to campaign for obama, no matter what, I’ll still vote for McCain. I will vote McCain to: 1) keep obama from winning the general election 2) to keep the DNC from becoming prominent and 3)to hope to see the DNC destroyed by the above three people.
McCain will make a good president. He is patriotic and a real American. He is a war hero.
What is obama? He is a person, who has sold his soul to the devil: Wright, Catholic Priest, his wife, all the Anti-American supporters and endorsers.
And if you vote for obama this is what you will get: An Anti-American administration. We need a strong leader, one who is not afraid of facing our enemies at anytime, who will stand up and bring us all together. There is no way obama can do this, because he doesn’t know how. He will be told what to do by Kerry-Heinz, Biden and all the rest of his “hidden” money donors. Think hard. Do you really think the Republicans in Washington D.C will let a know little, empty suit become a president? With is white hating wife as first lady? I don’t think so. He won’t win because people are already suspecting he is Anti-American. And now, he wants to play nice with Clinton, because without her support he won’t get elected dog catcher. Hillary, Please do not support obama.

so agree, americans are morons and the rest of the world will keep laughing at us when they elect bottom 5 from his class John McCain for president. After electing GW Doofus Bush for 2 terms, nothing will surprise me.

Nor should she. More democrats have voted for her. She has won more primaries, caucuses are undemocratic. She has wont he electoral college, the most senate districts and is the most electable, beating Mc cain easily.
Obama is a weak and risky candidate who won caucuses and red states. Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina Alaska etc etc will stay red in Nov.
Don’t conceede. Take it to the floor Hill! More democrats have voted for you. Dont let the DNC steal this nomination. They will pay in nov if you don’t hang in there!

Posted by: Aaron | June 2, 2008, 5:09 pm 5:09 pm

I’ve been told to “get with the program and unite” but you know that would be against everything that I believe in. The most important feature a President can have is “character”. I firmly believe that OBAMA has a “huge” character flaw and so why would I suddenly support him? That would mean that I agree with the herd that is running to the cliff to fall off. I’m sorry but that makes no sense to a rational person. I will either vote for McCain or not at all. I will have to live with the consequences just like everyone else but at least I am voting my consciousness and can live with my decision. Having Obama stand infront of a cross or with a halo around his head indicating that he is a savior is the wrong message. Having Obama give speeches of change (of course everyone wants change) but what kind of “change” is the big question. We get slogans of “Trust”….it almost sounds like the snake in the tree singing “trust in me” right before he eats you. This is America and you can vote how you feel that is what makes up our country great. So those of you 17 million that feel character does not matter then continue to vote Democratic and untie. I believe it does matter and I also believe I am not alone and that the Democrats will not be able to sell Obama to the public come November.

Posted by: Anne | June 2, 2008, 5:10 pm 5:10 pm

The truth is – Congressional members of the DNC never wanted to have a Democratic President because who ever comes after Bush’s failed policies, would have to come up with the painful plan to fix it – and get blamed for it. It will take more than eight (8) years to dig out of the deficit that Bush II left for many, many generations of all Americans to pay for. The trend is that, when president’s win, their party takes a beating in the middle of the four years. Pelosi and Reid are too interested in keeping their cushy Congressional jobs and blame a GOP president, rather than look into the interest of the American people.
Because guys and gals, republicans, democrats, or independents, we’re all Americans. We’re all getting screwed at the gas pumps, inflation at grocery stores, unemployment lines, jobs shipped offshore, foreign conglomerates corrupting our institutions, our soldiers dying or coming home without limbs, no social security nor health care. It’s time to put the partisan politics aside and think of our old, our young, our future and our present. We’re all in this together. If we’re not in it to win it, then it’s all for nothing.
The real question is – who has the better chance of beating McCain?
Average 1.8 (Hillary wins over McCain, 3 of 4 polls)
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_clinton-224.html
Average 0.7 (Obama barely over McCain, statistical draw, 2 of 4 polls)
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html
Michelle (Vaughn Robinson) Obama’s Racist Thesis
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8642.html
Obama needs 2118 to clinch. Do the math. He has 2070. There are only 31 votes in South Dakota and Montana – so even if they all go to Obama, he’ll only have 2101. Now some pledged super delegates can sway and try to give him the vote. But their “promise” is just that: a promise without consideration. It’s illusory and non-binding until August in Denver – super delegates can change their minds up to the day of the actual convention. Allot can happen in by August – as in delegates figure out that Obama has been trending down the last couple of months and losing the of majority middle-class, working White, Asian, and Hispanic voters to Hillary.
UNDISPUTED FACTS:
1. Hillary won in 17 large, mostly BLUE states (and 297 electoral college votes) Democrats have any realistic chance of winning – 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.
5. Obama won in the Republican majority RED states of Alaska (3), Oregon (11), Washington (7), Idaho (4), Utah (5), Colorado (3), Wyoming (9), Oklahoma (7), Kansas (6), Nebraska (5), North Dakota (3), Minnesota (10), Wisconsin (10), Illinois (21), Alabama (9), Mississippi (6), Louisiana (9), Georgia (8), North Carolina (15), Virginia (13), Hawaii (4), DC (3), Connecticut (7), Maine (4), Vermont (4), Delaware (3), and Maryland (10).
6. Even if Obama won all these RED states all he has are 199 electoral votes. Well short 270 needed.
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.

how come there was no feminism before super tuesday when she was wining. i am a women, and i am tired of hillary saying people are feminist. sooooooooooo many men voted for her i don’t know what that means. she lost becase she didn’t think she had to go on after super tuesday and she didn’t have a plan after that.

Posted by: dem | June 2, 2008, 5:11 pm 5:11 pm

I find it interesting the whining about the conspiracies (pick one) against Hillary’s nomination. She was the anointed queen and through mismanagment and poor organization, she lost. Her campaign manager was one of those voting against seating Michigan and Florida pre-Super Tuesday, then he was appalled that the DNC had the audacity to seat them with half their votes. This is what most of the Democratic Party has been forced to watch…double standards, whining, contrived statistics…it’s time for the truth. Hillary lost, fair and square. Bill is upset because he is going to be out of the limelight and away from a new crop of interns. Obama will win in the fall if the people saying they would never vote for him decide they are not predjudiced and if they don’t want four more years of Bush. You can carry the battle to the convention and destroy the party, or you can help move the country to a better place.

Hillbilly Hope…
Now THAT was funny, saying I “wasn’t around in the ’90′s! Oh, maybe you mean the 1890′s. I was born in 1938 and graduated from high school in 1956. My Dad and grandfather were both Pulitzer-Prize-winning political cartoonists, so I was raised on politics. My grandfather was a Democrat and my father was a Republican, but they were both old-school party members. In their time the Democratic Party was NOT the neo-Socialist party and the Republican Party was NOT the Theocratic Ultra-Right-Wing party it is today.
As I said before, just because someone has a different opinion does NOT make them stupid.

the electoral college argument is weak. Just because one of them one a state doesn’t mean that state won’t support the other in the g.e. Most of the blue states are blue whether Obama or Clinton is the nominee. The real questions are the swing states. According to the most recent state by state head to head, Obama beats Clinton by one electoral vote BUT in the states Clinton wins, she her standing is more comfortable. Either way, it is a very close race and it is up to the supers to call it now.

Joshua Valentino – Obama will win 10-12 of those states you claim as “red.” Most are in fact blue anyway. Where did you cut and paste that from?
Obama will also win at least 8 of those states you listed for Clinton. It doesn’t matter if Hillary won the primary there, if it is going Democratic anyway.

Posted by: jock59801 | June 2, 2008, 5:16 pm 5:16 pm

Party Unity – Obama has his share of baggage as well. The difference is that Hillary’s baggage has been all over the place for years so the shock value has worn off. Also, her baggage has to do with personal matters. Obama, on the other hand, is relatively new and the more that keeps coming out, the more shocking it is to middle America. His baggage has to do with religion, patriotism, corruption, etc. His baggage is totally different as they have barely begun to get into his personal past.

Posted by: susan | June 2, 2008, 5:17 pm 5:17 pm

Here’s a thought to ponder:
Hillary has one doozy of a trump card to play against Obama… one that will be enough to turn most of the superdels to her side. Why else would she be perpetuating such a state of self-denial?
She’s got something, folks. It’s what the Clintons are best at.

Going to get rougher, The DNC is running scared. They are pulling out all the stops. To fix the election and insure you get no more votes.
I could of never imagined, that my own party would play so dirty against the people, the voters.
Nancy pelosi and dean are working over time on this. The Democratic Gods and polticial fixers.
They actually would stoop to anything to get Their candidate in office. Which is the first time in my life I am scared to death.

I really don’t understand this obsession with the popular vote in the primaries. It is obviously close, and depends on which ststes you think should “count,” with Obama coming out slightly ahead in most logical scenarios.
And none of it matters. The rules are about the delegates. Earlier in the campaign, when Clinton was ahead in delegates, her campaign was emphasizing that it was ALL about the delegates. Why aren’t they still doing so?

Posted by: jock59801 | June 2, 2008, 5:20 pm 5:20 pm

I’m sure Republican strategists would rather that Clinton is on the ticket, either as president or veep. She brings a lot of baggage (50% of which is her husband) that the Republicans will use very effectively. Her negative rating is still over 50% and her ‘untrustworthy’ rating even higher.

Clinton is definetly the stronger candidate. If Obama is sooo great how come he still loses states by large margins. If they announce Obama as the nominee I am not switching my party but my family and friends are definetly voting for McCain. Obama is not ready to be president.
Hillary or McCain 08′
Ruh Roh… i have *facts* for you… let’s see here.
In the states/primaries where Obama WALLOPPED Clinton… (in other words, HUGE margins, not tiny ones)… here’s the list:
American Samoa, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Vermont, Wyoming, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, Virgin Islands, Washington and Wisconsin.
Those are states with 20+ (most cases 30+) % more than Clinton… looks to me like Clinton got walloped. So while Clinton may have 5 states where she walloped Obama, it pales in comparison lol.
Now THOSE are facts.

Obama was doing better before all the information came out about the bigoted church he has attended for 20 years and Hillary didn’t start out all that well. Once the information started coming out about Obama, he didn’t do as well. If the information had been public before the Feb. primaries, this race would have had a totally different ending.

I think the superdeligates have got some dirt on Obama, that has not become public yet because the republicans were waiting for Obama to get the nomination. It is hard to believe the DNC would just throw the election away on a someone like Obama who has so much going against him. He would have had a better chance if he had represented the typical black American, I don’t think most black americans have the kind of bad friends and connections that Obama has.

Why is Obama supporter asking HRC supporters to stand behind Obama? The very reason they did not vote for Obama in first place speaks the volume!
Why can’t a person living in a greatest democracy in the world can choose to vote the right candidate without being called racist and not being enough Democrate? Most people made up their mind during the primaries about their candidate.
Most of the posts from Obama supporter is full of nasty comments (leaving out few decent posts). The way HRC (former first lady – 2 terms)image has been tarnished and nasty comments have been left in internet forums have really been shameful. I am male but I am proud of what she has done and courage shown in the primaries. No American Women has done this before. This has open up a door for many womens. Obama achievement is great too being the first african American candidate. He is a charming speaker. Good luck too him in GE.

Posted by: RJ | June 2, 2008, 5:30 pm 5:30 pm

Doublestandard:
You ask WHY Obama’s not winning in places like Puerto Rico? It’s because he’s being a good sport and not running up the score in the last period – to use a sporting metaphor. He knows he’s won mathematically and rather than feeding the fire, he’s done nothing but compliment her. He’s letting Hillary “do her thing” unopposed. He’s doing everything he can to let her “save face” and bow out gracefully and to try to create party unity, but she’s taken this opportunity to further divide the party. This whole thing where she said Fla and Mich should NOT count and now says they should count (like people are too stupid to forget her previous position) is for the birds! Also her recent tact to incite our gender (women) into seeing her inability to win as gender bias rather than her lack of organizational and financial skill. I wish for Hillary the best, but for the sake of the rest of us who would like to have our country back, I hope she uses her sharp wits to concede while somehow undoing the divisions she’s created.

Posted by: Clair | June 2, 2008, 5:31 pm 5:31 pm

Okay, argue about the popular vote but you can’t argue that Hillary carried the majority of the vote of registered “democrats”. Wasn’t it Obama that said that all these independents and republicans were voting for him so that made him a great candidate? Wasn’t that part of his stump speech? If that is true (he’s your candidate), then Hillary has overwhelmingly won the vote of the registered democrats. Seems difficult to do that math any other way.

Nice cherry picking of information there Susan…
According to real clear politics.. here is what it ACTUALLY shows:
Popular vote *without* michigan:
Obama : 17,389,253
Clinton: 17,364,667
Popular vote *WITH* Michigan:
Obama: 17,389,253 (unchanged)
Clinton: 17,692,976
So, that means the following:
ZERO of the uncommitted votes were given to Obama… riiiiiiiiiiight. And you say all votes should count, right? LOL. And that also does *NOT* include any of the Caucus states who do not report the number of voters… do you know WHY they don’t? Because the process has always been that it’s a DELEGATE race so no need to report the number of voters, just the number of delegates.
However, if you add those “uncommitted” voters from MI along to the caucus voters, Obama STILL maintains the lead in popular vote… it’s THAT SIMPLE.
Don’t you just HATE IT when facts stand up on their own?

Got some more from “real clear politics”
Here’s the vote count:
Estimate w/IA, NV, ME, WA and MIchigan uncommitted to Obama, the count is :
17,961,505
With the same stats as above except for the uncommitted part from MI… the count for CLINTON is
17,916,838
So, to me, it looks like 17,961,505 is *greater than* 17,916,838. So the POPULAR VOTE lead still goes to Obama (admittedly, it’s small)
Please argue with the FACTS here..

Hillary Clinton has won all the big states, save IL, she won all the swing states we need to win in November and is ahead in the popular vote. Her numbers with crucial voter demographics are much higher than Obama’s — why in the heck should she get out?
With those numbers, not to mention all Obama’s questionable associations and baggage and his paper thin record, why wouild anyone in their right mind nominate him??
If Hillary is not the nominee, I leave the party and take many with me.

It’s amazing that Hillary keeps stating that she’s the only candidate that can beat McCain in the general election, when she’s having a terrible time beating Obama in the party election. According to her, this thing was going to be a wrap in February and here we are four months later and she’s behind in delegate votes and cash. The supers are not going to switch support from his camp to hers. She needs to get out of fantasy land and realize that it is OVER. Yes she’s won the “big” states, but she’s still behind. Call it what it is after Tuesday….A Wrap.
I’m frightened to have her as POTUS. She’s having a hard time facing the reality of defeat now. Would it be the same way if we are in war? Would she be like Bush and keep our troops in war way past their time? Endangering lives because she’s too proud and too stubborn to admit defeat?

For all of the mistaken ones who are on here blogging about “Paul v. Clinton,” please take note:
Senator Clinton was dropped as a party to this case long ago, and Paul’s appeals to have her name retained as a party on the suit have been denied.
Even most of the claims remaining on this suit in regards to Bill Clinton have been dismissed, and it is expected that the remaining ones will also go the same way.

Why are all the Clinton backers waiting for something to happen or come out about Obama. Have you all forgotten all those nasty things in the Clinton closet…Whitewater, the suicide of Vince Foster, Monica, China lobbyist and campaign financing, Impeachment, last minute pardons lobbied by Hillary’s brother, the pending fraud case in California, etc. What do you really think that could fall out of the closet on Obama that the GOP would love more than a dozen well documented scandals of the Clintons?

A list of superdelegates that vote against the will of people:
Pelosi, John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy, Brad Henry, and many more.
Superdelegate is only super in convention using their only independent judgment to select the candidate most likely to win in November; this judgment should not be influenced by race like what James Clyburn and the company who has been pretentious but a racist in fact.

The DNC has only $4.4 million in the campaign funds. They cannot pay for a Convention. They are desperate alright for contributions. HRC is deep in debt. Her supporters should start sending in money instead of just commenting.
I like another Obama supporter refuse to contribute one red cent to the DNC to hold a Convention for HRC to take to the floor that she did not pay for to cause chaos. So, either pay up or accept the facts. Put your money where you mouth is.
All through 2007 and into January 2008, HRC was the annointed winner based on her assumptions and presumptions. I never supported her. Had enough of them the first time. Bill Clinton used social security IOU’s for his much touted budget success. Go read up on that one on an official SS website.
Other Dem candidates were quickly knocked out by the media annointing HRC as the inevitable. Who was complaining about her having 100 super delegates even before the primaries or caucuses started? They did not even know the outcome. Now you are complaining about super delegates. Talk about changing the rules near the end game! She had no long term contingency plans, no cushion of money, or competent staff. If Obama could blindside her and her 700 plus campaign staff, then he does have what it takes to be a President.
I am a nearly 68 year old white grey-haired still working LOL in Texas. Other Texans can speak for themselves only, not for me.
And, McCain who claims to be more knowledgable about the Mid-East does not even know let alone really understand the fundamental differences between Shia and Sunni, as in Catholic and the Protestant Reformation slaughters, as in the Spanish Inquisition against Protestants. The two sects hate each other but will unite if bombed and/or pushed by the West. Doubt he even knows which is where in what countries either. His war was in the jungles and he paid for it. We are now in more of a desert type war in a new era with new weaponry where the old tactics no longer work. Boots on the ground and non-coms usually see more of the truth in any warfare. You think they are going to tell it to reporters?!
I have no time either for VIP’s making PR visits or supposed fact finding missions to Iraq to be diverting troops for security, talking primarily to Generals, being told by selected soldiers that the war is going great, and meeting vetted so happy you are here Iraqis. etc. A good show with name stars would probably be more of a morale booster.

First off is not the plan to pick a winner…so the democratic could win..well in all reality the Michigan and Florida votes should count…the democratic party is dumb to omit them..or only count 1/2 of them it really does not matter about the penalty…in reality the American people voted for Hillary when all is said and done that is the reality…( the majority of Hillary’s supporters are the Democratic party not a fly by night group who decide to vote democractic during this election) when they penalize those states they created an inaduequate picture of a real winner and electable candidate…they are not using the entire picture of a viable candidate…so by penalizing the states it is in reality selling itself short on a viable candidate..using the Democratic math they pick a losing candidate which was picked by mostly Cacuses and not big states or primaries..in a general election these causcus wins will again amount to a losing general election…if the candidates were more identical and Obama’s bagage was not still being unloaded and all about bad judgement, poor decisions, no real policies of his own other then change and not such a backhanded flip flopping Chicago politician , mistrustful phoney then the democratic party would have a good candidate but an Obama candidate is a political machine made and backed in a back room by the Political establishment…Write in for Hillary not a vote for Obama and his leftist ideas..or even a Mccain vote is better then Obama

Check out these new polls on tomorrow’s primaries:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/latestpolls/index.html
South Dakota (which was “close”):
Clinton – 60%
Obama – 34%
And Montana (where Obama had a “comfortable lead”):
Obama – 48%
Clinton – 44%
Hillary should change her plans and be in South Dakota tomorrow night. Looks like a real winner!!
Meanwhile, Mr. Obama cannot even garner 50% of the vote in Montana.

Senator Clinton is not and that is where greatness lies upon. Leaders have the people to wait for the unexpected. It is so vulgar to make assumptions and speculations. Obviously no one knows Hillary Clinton and that is the way should and it is. Stop wasting your time and your hate to your own frustrations.

For all of you who have forgotten what all the Clinton’s have done for us …. You should be ashamed! The brother has been deceitful and lied to Americans from the start. The only reason he can win caucuses is because not all voters can be there. Some work, most of us have families and the weather was not conducive to the REAL VOTERS! There will be several delegates that will no longer be working come the next election. …..Woe to the delegates that think they can win when these short term caucus goers’ don’t show up to vote come next election! The rest of us will not forget.

Posted by: Angry Black Man | June 2, 2008, 6:25 pm 6:25 pm

This has been a very, very confusing campaign, even more so because of Dr. Gov. Howard Dean’s call for SUPERDELEGATES, who are supposed to vote only at the Convention, to DECLARE their preference BEFORE the Convention. Most have done so, by endorsement, but an endorsement is not a vote and it cannot turn an UNPLEDGED DELEGATE into a PLEDGED DELEGATE. Actually, Dr. Gov. Dean, Senator Reid and Senator Pelosi, all should know better than to have started the firestorm that is now raging.
Consider this:
Total number of Democratic Delegates = 4,048
One half of 4,048 + 1 = 2,025
Superdelegates to vote at convention = -795
Total PLEDGED DELEGATES available
before convention = 3,253
Less Florida PLEDGED = -185
Less Michigan PLEDGED = -128
Total PLEDGED DELEGATES available
before Convention before May 31 = 2,940
Plus Florida PLEDGED Restored May 31 = +92.5
Plus Michigan PLEDGED Restored May 31 = +64
Total PLEDGED DELEGATES available
Before Convention as of May 31 = 3,096.5
Total Obama PLEDGED DELEGATES
As of June 2, 2008 = 1,738 *
*Includes actual and projected PLEDGED
Total Clinton PLEDGED DELEGATES
As of June 2, 2008 = 1,625#
#Includes actual and projected PLEDGED
Obama needs to win before Convention = 287 PLEDGED DELEGATES
Clinton needs to win before Convention = 400 PLEDGED DELEGATES
Original number of SUPERDELEGATES = 795
Plus Florida (13) and Michigan (14.5)
Restored SUPER DELEGATES = 27.5
Total SUPERDELEGATES to vote at the
Convention = 822.5
The above analysis based on numbers from the New York Times of June 2, 2008.
Total number of PLEDGED DELEGATES available in MT AND SD = 31
Latest ARG polls for MT and SD from RealClearPolitics:
Montana – Obama 48% and Clinton 44%
South Dakota – Obama 34% and Clinton 60%

Sorry but since all you underdog bleeding hearts out there just don’t know how to support a winner instead of a loser: let’s get back to why I won’t vote for Hillary. 1) she panders, she will promise gifts and cookies if she thinks you want gifts and cookies with no idea how to pay for it. 2) she lies, that whole bosnia thing was a flat out lie. 3) she’s always making statements that are just alarming like RFK’s assination and telling people that we can’t win if we vote for Obama, what with the defeatism? If the party will vote for Hillary, why does Hillary believe the party wont for Obama. Because it’s racism, pure and simple. There positions are similar, they both have known a scandal or two, Hillary’s husband was impeachead for crying out loud. What else could it be but racism? And that also is why I’m not voting for Hillary.

Together, you and I have celebrated a string of incredible victories. We’ve made history by giving every American a chance to have a say in this race. And now that a winner has nearly made it to the finish line, I’m going to do everything within my power to stop him.
We’ve won the key swing states that will decide the race in November…most of which would vote for Obama anyway if he’s given a chance to campaign– and yes, that includes Florida and Michigan. Most important, we’ve won the most votes if you close your eyes pretend like the caucuses don’t count and that nobody in Michigan would have voted for Obama. There is no more powerful way to prove that I am our best chance to win in November of 2012 than for me to twist the arms of as many superdelegates as possible and sever the democratic party to the point that McCain wins so I don’t have to run against Obama again.
That’s why I am asking you to stand with me today. And I promise you, as I always have, that if you stand up for me now, I will stand up for you every day in the White House, and answer phone calls at 2AM, and make sure that Bill isn’t using the Lincoln Bedroom for late night “arrangements” (when I’m not renting it out to my best supporters). I’m also going to make sure I get all the furniture out of there that they made me return the first time.
Let’s face it. I deserve this.

I do not think she should concede either. Maybe just suspend her campaign for a few months. A candidate staying in a 50/50 race for all of this time is totally appropriate. If Obama had CLINCHED the nomination way back when…then I could see everyone calling for her to drop out. But my vote hasn’t even been counted yet!! She has done nothing wrong, not to the Dem party, nor to you haters. This is not a popularity contest, and many, many voters blindly were caught up in the groundswell of Sen. Obama and Hope. Sen Clinton is by far the better candidate and has been winning since super tuesday until she is now ahead in votes. The superdelegates have a chance to do the right thing, let’s wait and see who actually gets the nomination before you keep attributing nasty motives to her. As you’ve done for months, I might add.

Wild weather did not stop a few bitter people of Huron from coming out to see Hillary on Thursday. Dozens of voters turned out to see Hillary at Campbell Park, but due to inclement weather the event was moved into the Huron Events Center. Once inside, a packed house heard Hillary speak directly about the issues including our broken economy, the war in Iraq, veteran’s affairs and universal health care.
Voters eagerly listened on, as did an overflow room — more than 1,000 people battled the rainstorm to hear Hillary. Many who couldn’t make it inside stood outside for hours just to get a glimpse of the New York Senator as she drove by.
Their conclusion?
Wow. What a waste of time THAT was.

Let’s agree the popular vote is a tie. Why should superdelegates gamble the election on Obama. The more we got to know Obama, the less we liked him. He ran a negative campaign and is the least deserving.
Obama in the end should loose because he ran a negative campaign, unbecoming a president and that’s why Obama must concede. He get’s a VP, so don’t fret.

She has become a divisive figure, now at the highest levels of the party.
The party may seek to circumvent the will of the people, but this WILL destroy the party.

I find it hard to believe that Senator Clinton and her supporters would be dismissing caucuses as undemocratic if the situation were reversed.
Frankly, I was pleased with Clinton as a second choice going into these primaries. I feel she has lost site of the big picture here, which is avoiding 4 more years of Republican rule. She is trying to change previously agreed-to rules in the middle of the game, as if the rules were designed specifically to ensure her defeat.
I am supposed to be in Hillary’s demographic, white, no college degree, below median income, and living in West Virginia, yet I do not have a single neighbor, coworker or friend who supports Mrs. Clinton. There has not been a single yard sign supporting her in my neighborhood, yet it is positively plastered with Obama support. He can definitely win the general election. We Democrats do not need to see the goalposts moved yet again. Obama will have the necessary delegate count by Wednesday. The semi-finals will be decided and there is no sense arguing with the referees or the crowd or the press. Her team will have lost, because they ran a disastrous campaign.

demsforHRC08–
He can win in the general election. He might not, but the possibility exits.
It’s odd how you seem so positive about something too far away to accurately assess.
McCain has run unopposed thus far and is a media darling. We don’t know what kind of information is going to come out between now and then about either one of them.
Show your intelligence by at least admitting there is a possibility that Obama will win. It does your argument no good when you take a stance that cannot be backed up by statistics, it diminishes everything else you say.

Not since Scalia strong-armed his weakling colleagues on the Bush Court to appoint W president has there been a more egregious repudiation of democracy than the hijacking of the Dem nomination by the “God D@#! America” crowd. Just as Gore won the 2000 election with a majority of votes, Hillary has won the 2008 primaries with a solid majority of votes. But both are denied their just and due victory by the slimiest of tactics.
To provide those Dems with an IQ greater than their shoe size a choice in November, HILLARY MUST RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT!
The “Democratic” Party, RIP.

Some of you seem to have forgotten we’re on the same side. You’re acting like THIS is the presidential election. This is just a party election. The presidential election, with Democrats vs Republicans is coming up. That is the presidential election. If we intend to win it you must stop talking all this nonsense and get your head on straight. If Hillary loses (and she has) we can still win the Presidency. If Obama loses (and clearly he hasn’t, we can still win the Presidency. It doesn’t end here. It really depends on whether you’re going to get so hung up on your candidate that you forget all about what the whole point of this election is. It’s not a college game. The real losers will be democrats and the fate of the free world if we fail to put an end to 8 years of Republican pilfering and tyranny by getting hung up on a candidate in a party election. Hillary’s not your mama. Obama’s not your brother. Hillary has been behind for 4 months…despite some last minute finagling, she’s still behind. Time to conceed!

Hillary, we urge you to remain and fight this travesty and injustice of the party leaders. Why shouldn’t Americans in Florida and Michigan be counted and matter? What is wrong with these leaders? Whether in this party or as an independent, you can be assured of our support to elect you as the First Woman President of the United States of America.

Since when does the Democratic Party decide NOT to count Florida and ?Michigan’s votes (been so long, I’m not sure which was the other state the Democratic Party decided to exclude). This is ridiculous. If these two states’ votes don’t get counted in the primaries, I will NEVER vote again. That is MY promise to the Democratic Party. Not for McCain. Not for Obama.

Note: to clarify some confusion, I have reworked my analysis and checked it against some other sources and the revised result is below. However, the conclusion is the same.
This has been a very, very confusing campaign, even more so because of Dr. Gov. Howard Dean’s call for SUPERDELEGATES, who are supposed to vote only at the Convention, to DECLARE their preference BEFORE the Convention. Most have done so, by endorsement, but an endorsement is not a vote and it cannot turn an UNPLEDGED DELEGATE into a PLEDGED DELEGATE. Actually, Dr. Gov. Dean, Senator Reid and Senator Pelosi, all should know better than to have started the firestorm that is now raging.
Consider this:
Initial total number of Democratic Delegates
(excluding Florida and Michigan) = 4,048
One half of 4,048 + 1 = 2,025
Superdelegates to vote at convention = -795
Total PLEDGED DELEGATES available
before convention before May 31, 2008 = 3,253
Plus Florida PLEDGED Restored May 31 = +92.5
Plus Michigan PLEDGED Restored May 31 = +64
Total PLEDGED DELEGATES available
Before Convention as of May 31 = 3,409.5
Original number of SUPERDELEGATES = 795
Plus Florida (13) and Michigan (14.5)
Restored SUPER DELEGATES = 27.5
Total SUPERDELEGATES to vote at the
Convention = 822.5
New Total Convention Delegate count
As of May 31, 2008 = 4,232
New “Magic Number” of PLEDGED DELEGATES
TO BECOME NOMINEE = 2,118
Total Obama PLEDGED DELEGATES
As of June 2, 2008 = 1,738 *
*Includes actual and projected PLEDGED
Total Clinton PLEDGED DELEGATES
As of June 2, 2008 = 1,625#
#Includes actual and projected PLEDGED
Obama needs to win before Convention = 380 PLEDGED DELEGATES
Clinton needs to win before Convention = 493 PLEDGED DELEGATES
The above analysis based on numbers from the New York Times of June 2, 2008.
Total number of PLEDGED DELEGATES available in MT AND SD = 31
Latest ARG polls for MT and SD from RealClearPolitics:
Montana – Obama 48% and Clinton 44%
South Dakota – Obama 34% and Clinton 60%
Draw your own conclusion.

Posted by: Yavo Lem | June 2, 2008, 7:02 pm 7:02 pm

We’ve won the key swing states that will decide the race in November — and yes, that includes Florida and Michigan. The next step is to trick McCain into not campaigning in those states by telling him there was some sort of mistake made in the voting rules. Most important, we’ve won the most votes…if you don’t count caususes or you believe nobody would have voted for Obama in Michigan. There is no more powerful way to prove that I am our best chance to win in November….of 2012.
That’s why I am asking you to stand with me today. And I promise you, as I always have, that if you stand up for me now, I will stand up for you every day in the White House when I’m having a meeting with President Obama.

REVOLUTION IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
“Specter (R-PA)… is seriously evaluating whether he should call for
Congressional hearings. We know that the Senator’s political brain
trust was working around the clock to analyze a response to the DNC
decision. Although having no direct confirmation, we would expect
Florida Governor Charles Crist and Michigan Attorney General Michael
Cox, among others, were waiting for the Democrats to cast their
decision into stone before considering whether they should seek
judicial intervention as per Specter’s brainstorming.”

For the past two days the Obamicans have been pushing the rumor that
Hillary Clinton will concede the nomination on Tuesday night in New
York.
Just a short time ago Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee went to the
back of the campaign plane to talk to reporters. According to ABC
news, Elleithee said that’s not gonna happen. It looks like Hillary
is ready to rumble!
“I think its pretty clear that she is not conceding.” Elleithee
said, “I think its pretty clear that she is staying in this race.
She is going, in the coming days, to be aggressively courting
uncommitted superdelegates aggressively courting unpledged
delegates, making the case to them that she is a candidate best
ready to take on John McCain.”
When asked directly when Clinton will step aside, Elietthee 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.”
He continued “until there is a nominee we are going to still
work to become that nominee. When asked when they would determine a
nominee would be selected –- because the Clinton campaign has
refused to accept fully the 2,118 number –- Elleithee said, “we’re
exploring — she has said before she wants to have this to be
resolved before the convention — we are reviewing our options.”
Jake Tapper is also reporting that Hillary has refused to accept the
new “magic number” of 2118. He sends this message to Obamicans:

Just wait until the video they are trying to suppress of Barack Obama with another man shows up. Everyone knows the republicans are holding on to it and that it REALLY does exist.
Oh, and the reason Obama can’t wait to meet with Iran and Hamas is because they have the same ideas and ideals. Isn’t it obvious?
He gets support from Al Queda, China, Venezuela, and North Korea. What does that tell you?
It tells you that this is no more wacky than anything else you Hillary lovers are trying to throw out there. Get a life! It’s over. (admit it…some of you started reading this and got all excited..”I knew it! I knew it!” HA HA HA HA)

“FOX News has learned that over the last 15 years, Trinity has received at least $15 million in grants from the federal government — in other words, taxpayer money.
Records show this money supported a variety of outreach: everything from low income housing to nutritional programs for needy kids to money for HIV/AIDS education. Wright blames the government for intentionally infecting the African-American community with that deadly virus.”
Obama’s campaign says he didn’t get this money for Rev. Wright. Obama’s campaign apparently did get $200,000 for Father Pfleger however.
Not bad for a group of people who hate white Americans.

As a Florida native and a lifelong Democrat (as well as a descendent of Democrats), I am appalled at how the National Party has treated the voters in my state!
Obama and Sen. Clinton may have said that Florida votes didn’t count, but at least she had the decency to visit our state the day after our primary and publicly thank us for our votes! Obama continued to claim that we weren’t valued because our votes were useless!!! Wonder whose pulling his strings?
If he is the nominee, I will not vote for him — unless Sen. Clinton is on the ticket with him. I can’t bring myself to vote for McCain (Bush’s 3rd term) either. I will vote for Sen. McCain, even if I have to write her name on the ballot in November!!!

Obama will lose and Clinton can win it that simple. This is the biggest sales job by the media on Obama I have ever seen. If Obama is aganist McCain hello President elect McCain.
No matter what Obama does it is not his fault what a joke. I have voted since 1968 and if it’s Obama ot McCain I will not vote for either one. Obama is an empty suit and is really the media perfered.

Nicole – yes of course, obama will use the Internet because he is so advanced – sure -
And this is still the best way for his followers to trash Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Go to MSNBC, read the Politics blog. The obama supporters call her vile, terrible names and say terrible things about her, then in the same blog they accuse anyone who doesn’t support obama of being racist and a bigot.
This is why he will continue to use the Internet – he puts people up to writing horrible things about his opposition and they will gladly do it because they are anonymous and will never be seen by anyone – they feel they can say anything and they do and get away with it. Do you know how many times Hillary has been called the “C” word on MSNBC? Check it out.
Do you call this good politics? By good people?
Check out what the Black followers say about Hillary – please just check it out. These are the people that obama is sanctioning to use vile terrible words against Clinton and McCain and this is why I do not respect him. He has followers that will do his bidding without question – kind of like Charles Manson.

_If_ Hillary ran as an Independent in the GE against McCain and Obama, my feeling is that she would win. This would be similar to Conneticut where Lieberman lost the primary to an ultra liberal candidate and won the GE.
Obama will likely get the nomination because he was better organized in caucus states, he has 90% of the black and he has done well enough in other voting blocks. Hillary has won a large majority of the primary states and the most important states in a GE. If the nomination was based on a winner take all, Hillary would be the nominee. Democrats know how to loose an election.
Obama scares me with his Rev Wright, Pfleger, Rezko baggage. He will say anything to get elected, including dropping his church after 20 years. Of course he believes the same thing as the folks who were hollering and jumping up and down in the sermons. Ask Michelle. He is smart enough to know that he has no choice but to distance himself. Obama is such a crock!
Hillary is the best choice. She has experience and best plan to handle Iraq in a thoughtful way.

His lies about what he knew about his associations will come out for all to see….Go Hillary , Go McCain, Go BACK TO CHICAGO NoBama…

Don’t you just wonder what the congregation really thinks of Obama? You don’t really think he did it for the sake of the church do you? NO, he thru them under the bus also. That’s exactly what he will do to all who voted for him. It’s only what is going to benefit him. Many, many voters will vote for McCain if he is the nominee and there is nothing Hillary and her committee can do to stop it. I wish she would tell the entire DNC to go to hades. They haven’t shown her the respect she deserves just like the media. I wish I had a tenth of her determination and intelligence. All the Obama bloggers that are so extremely educated should dream of being half as smart. I’ve watched all of this election process including the debates and she outspoke Obama in every one of them. She speaks fluently without all the uhs and duhs and stutters. If she were to go Independent I will vote for her,but I’m sure it would be political suicide. I really wish she could pull this thru for the simple reason all the people from the south aren’t ignorant rednecks like we have been portrayed. We are hard workers individuals that love our country and want what’s best for everyone. Gotta love Dixie. Go Hillary or McCain.

Lou – did you just imply I’m a follower of Charles Manson? Of course you did not – but people on both sides misconstrue things on purpose and people on both sides say horrible things about eachother. That’s the nature of politics today. Obama thru the internet used his official site as the major fundraiser of his campaign and you can’t argue with those results. What people are saying on message boards, Clinton has no power over – neither does Obama. Grace.

Hillary is NOT finished yet!!! She will take it all the way to the convention floor, and the Super Delegates can and most likely will change to her over Obama. I, however, will vote Democratic even if she is not the candidate. She certainly will vote for him. Our only hope as a nation is to STOP the Republican party and Mr McCain. Being a POW makes a man a strong American, but not necessarily Presidential material. Help us all if he is our President.

Hillary should stay in the race.
Just looking at what happened in the Democratic primaries is enough to make me embarrassed to have been a Democrat for 30 years. Who knew that all of the caucuses were such shams that some can’t even say how many people voted and for whom. The stories of disorganization are appalling (witnessed NM caucus circus myself). And why are some states allowed to have Jan. primaries and other states not? The whole thing should be done on one day and work just like the general election. This party is so stupid. They deserve to lose big time, and they will now, that their incredibly undemocratic system has been exposed for what it is — under the table deals and a smoke filled back room of good old boys.

On the caucus states what a joke Hillary Clinton wins Nevada by 5% and Obama gets more delegates than Clinton. Therefore disregard the caucus states the delegates awarded mean nothing. The news media of course keep quite and keeping pushing how many more delegates Obama has over Clinton and the race is over.
When President elect McCain is moving in the White House I am sure the Obama voters will still be blaming Senator Clinton too.

His temperment is not one that would fare well with foreign leaders. He loses his temper too often. Doesn’t keep focused. Taxes??? He is in the tax bracket that benefits from the Bush tax cuts and will continue them. I am not in that bracket, and therefore am left out of the tax breaks. Sure, let’s give those with incomes over 150,000. per yr a break….geeeeeez louize

keval – “If_ Hillary ran as an Independent in the GE against McCain and Obama, my feeling is that she would win.” – I agree that she has some very vocal and loyal supporters, but I think it would be almost impossible for an independent to win without the financial backing of either the Democrats or Republicans. Maybe she’d find a way to do it, but I can’t see how given the current financial state of her campaign.

NOW, howard dean speaks out about sexism throughout this campaign… where the f*u*c*k was he and other party leaders 17 months ago??? oh yea, they were to busy protecting and shoving the black candidate down the throats of the american people… SHAME on you howard dean and all the others who CHOSE SILENCE instead of standing up for women’s equality… MLK would be ashamed of the black candidate and MLK would say this candidate has no CHARACTER, he who cried when compared to jesse jackson but made no effort to speak out agaisnt the use of the word w*h*o*r*e against Hillary during an event for his supporters in SF, this event was even posted on his campaign site…
the demoCRAPS will lose in november if they CHOOSE the wrong candidate…who will he copy from once Hillary is out? he can’t copy from mccain…I hope he falls and falls hard on his a*s*s, I will be enjoying every minute of it!!! and for those who were too scared to CHOOSE the only candidate that can win in november, I say go to H3LL!

Denise Shull – there are death threats against Hillary all over the internet. Most of them are on the forums of Obama’s own website. They are usually quite graphic in details and violence, and typically included sexist slurs along with the call for her “assasination”.
The Obama-Bully-bots, for all their thug bravado and juvenile testosterone-chest puffing, must be terribly frightened of Hillary’s power. You don’t try to eliminate someone who isn’t a threat.
Deep down, they know that there is no deep down in Obama. Time is Obama’s worst enemy.
And to all of you Obama supporters who are participating in this call for the U.S. Senators death, keep two things in mind. One, you’re being investigated. Two, Hillary’s supporters will never forgive you or Obama for calling for her death. This is the change you bring? This is the new politics? This is thug and gangster politics. Splash some cold water on yourselves and wake up. Namaste, yes?

WHY is Obama STILL losing Primaries by huge margins?
This late in the game, practically the nominee, and still the people don’t want him???
Good question. DNC leaders (especially the losers – Dean, Kerry, Pelosi,Reid and etc.) close their ears when this question is asked.

There is nothing ABC news can do to stop Sen. Clinton from becoming President. About three years ago a well known televangelist, Perry Stone Jr., told his congregation that God spoke to him and said Sen. Clinton will be the next President. This information can be obtained from one of his published works on CD entitled “Strange Patterns of Recent American Presidents.” On track 7 of this CD, he tells us that Sen. Clinton will once again be in the White House. So give it up ABC News. And Barack, your days are numbered.

For those of you who don’t know basic math but they believe whatever they tell them. READ!!!! write the numbers and then you will see who is winning the popular vote!!
If we include Florida (where Clinton won by 294,772 after neither she nor Obama campaigned) and the caucus states of Iowa, Nevada, Maine and Washington (where votes weren’t counted and must, therefore, be estimated), Obama leads by 134,746; if we disenfranchise those caucus states–which represent a net Obama gain of about 110,000 votes–he’s still ahead by 24,524. What’s more, if we give Clinton her 330,000 Michigan votes and award Obama all 237,000 of the uncommitteds–a flawed but roughly equitable proposal, seeing as experts project that the Illinois senator would’ve won a standard Great Lakes State primary by 80,000–he emerges with a lead of 44,605. Even with only 82 percent of these uncommitteds in his column, Obama wins the overall popular vote. And he’s expected to expand that edge by tens of thousands of votes on Tuesday with projected victories in South Dakota and Montana.

Perhaps if you were actually able to vote in the general election it would mean something. The fact is that when Americans look for bellweather issues and solutions, Puerto Rico is not even involved in the equation! You’re not a state. You don’t pay taxes which is why you have no real say in these elections. Winning your common wealth is as important to our elections as winning the lotto! It’s nice but it doesn’t mean squat!

The dems have been losing for years and will put up another sacrificial lamb. Obama will lose, but Clinton would lose as well. You picked the 2 worst presidential candidates in history and are now in-fighting about it. This is a true victory for the republicans all the way to the White House…3 terms in a row!

Loudmouth Sean Hannity was talking about it today. He said, it could just be bogus story that the Clinton or McSame camps put out in the hopes that the ignorant would believe it. He also said that the a lot of news organzations have called asking him if he has the tape. He also had a caller who said someone told him it was real but, nobody he knew or himself has ever seen it.

If they end up blowing the GE neither Senator Obama or Senator Clinton will have a political future. ie No chance for Clinton in 2012. Ironic that those supporters of Senator Clinton who switch to Senator McCain could ultimately end up hurting her.

carl29 – I have to disagree with you on your assessment of the ability of women to run the country. Senator Clinton’s campaign was badly managed and that is why she is losing. There are and will be women in the future who are every bit as capable of running this country as anyone. If you look at the current fiasco we are in under President Bush, men should not brag about how well they can manage this nation. Personally, I will vote for Senator Obama this year. However, I do also believe that Senator Clinton could also be a capable president. I was disappointed in her Iraq stance and the way her campaign operated. Bill was no help.

It cuts both ways! In 2012 she’ll have to suck up to us and that’s assuming that she get’s the nomination. It’s not going to happen. It’s clear both sides need each other.

Getting rid of the Clintons is a huge victory right now!

For the last time, Hillary’s supporters need to start placing the blame on Hillary, for the position she in. Hillary is on record stating the primaries will be over by Fed 5, and it now June. She foolishly ignored the early caucuses and she is on record stating that caucuses would matter. It was a democrat governor who is vocal Hillary supporter who move up the Michigan primary. Hillary stated last October that Floria and Michigan primaries should not count. It was Hillary campaign who started out with a sizable “war chest”, and her campaign who foolishly miss spend campaign donations early on in the campaign. Hillary and or her advisers poorly miss judged Obama’s appeal. Hillary and or her advisers had catastrophic failure in strategizing for this campaign. Hillary and her supporters have blame the African American voters, media, and now sexism for campaign. Hillary and her advisers need to take responsibility for her failed campaign.

Posted by: jimt | June 2, 2008, 8:23 pm 8:23 pm

Hillary’s campaign didn’t start out very well, but she took over and finished strong. Obama got weaker as the campaign went along and there is more to come. Obama paid for the election. He outspent everyone on ads by almost 2 to 1. (Probably those ads he ran in FL when he wasn’t campaigning there.) Is that how he’ll run the government? Probably with all the earmarks he likes to give out to churches who hate America and the way he spends other people’s money.

I went to public school! 98% of our grads went on to college. I graduated from university and so did two of my sons. The other two are attending right now. Public school is not the lowest common denominator. It’s an opportunity that most take advantage of it. Charter schools are no better in performance. Parents make the difference, and sadly parents that don’t care won’t pay tuition for private school. Public schools take everyone. Some take the brass ring and some do not, but it’s not the school’s fault it’s parents, environment, and motivation.

========================================
Two things:
1.) To say that Obama is Presidential material because he won more PLEDGED DELEGATES from CAUCUSES is like saying he is the STRONGER candidate because he wins at WIENER AND MARSHMALLOW ROASTS. Please note that there are NO CAUCUSES in the General Election. He is in no way the STRONGER candidate, and any SUPER DELEGATE with any intelligence and politcal savvy at all knows that full well. The Convention should be all action-packed drama, kiddies, with Obama being just a big WIENER. As someone once said of the former baseball slugger Reggie Jackson, “There’s not enough mustard in this world to cover that hot dog.” And the same applies to Obama.
2.) Latest ARG polls for MT and SD from RealClearPolitics:
Montana – Obama 48% and Clinton 44%
South Dakota – Obama 34% and Clinton 60%

She has become a divisive figure, now at the highest levels of the party.

SUSAN!
You can’t outspend someone unless you out raise them! This was one of Hillary’s talking points that you’ve picked up. Don’t you see the spin? Out spent means out raised! You’re now trying to trash him for out raising her?
She didn’t plan past February and once he began flooding the airwaves with ads she was forced to try to keep up, essentially spending the rest of her reserve just to keep up. Do you really blame him for competency? I say he runs the Whitehouse the way he ran his campaign. If she runs the Whitehouse the way she ran her campaign, we’d be entering Dante’s 9th Circle of Hell!

Posted by: roxanne | June 2, 2008, 8:29 pm 8:29 pm

Frankly, I don’t think Hillary had a failed campaign. Anyone who suggests that given how close the race is, is foolish. Given the liberal media in the tank for Obama, the right wing media hating the Clintons, Obama outspending her almost 2 to 1 on ads, and everything else, I’d say Hillary ran a heck of a campaign. Just think what she would have done if any of the major networds were in the tank for her for the last 3 months. It looks like she may even win SD tomorrow. Quite an ending for a failed campaign. Given all that Obama had going for him, I’d say that he didn’t do all that well.

Posted by: susan | June 2, 2008, 8:29 pm 8:29 pm

Susan – “Do any of you Obama supporters ever take responsibility for your actions?” – Actually, wouldn’t that apply more to the supporters of Senator Clinton? For example, I notice alot of people in FL and MI who are mad at Obama because of what happened in the primaries. Yet they’ll take absolutely no responsibility for electing their state leadership who decided to move the elections up against the rules of the DNC.

Roxanne,
Last year Obama said that Hillary Clinton had a “character gap” or something of the sort, basically indicating she’s a dishonest person. That is in effect trashing someone from your own party.

Posted by: JA | June 2, 2008, 8:32 pm 8:32 pm

Roxanne, in case you didn’t know, Puerto Ricans are US CITIZENS and many of them have served and are serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Also many of them reside in both the US and Puerto Rico(they alternate between the two). The Puerto Rican vote is very significant because it really represents how Hispanics feel. And by the way I am NOT from Puerto Rico. I am a Hispanic living in California. Hillary 2008!!!

I’m from Michigan, and yes I have posted about how stupid my Democratic governor and state party were stupid. She had the gaul to say that it was a success and that we made a difference. OK, no campaign money spent here, no candidates visited, no refection of Michigan problems in the campaign (although Ohio is a surrogate).
But I guess this makes your post most stupid.

jmengate, that is a rather weak response. Had the FL and MI people known this would have happened, they would have done everything NOT to elect those officials.
Justifiably they are upset at Obama because it is HE who was preventing a decent deal to be struck. All he had to do all along was nod his head, and there would have been no issue. Why he didn’t was a drastic mistake – he still would have won the primary – but now he has FL and MI voters quite peeved.

This Democratic primary season reminds me of a college football season to a certain extent. The BCS commission tries to seat the best of the winning teams to produce the greatest possible Championship bowl game. But, if you ask any college football fan, they often miss the mark. Many times, the BCS committee has placed the 2 best teams in the final game that produces a blowout and mismatch. It proves, most years, that we need a better system to select the strongest teams or candidates. How could the Democratic nominee, Obama, lose so many recent primaries when the press and party has already crowned him?? How could he have lost, by double digit numbers, in any state going down the home stretch?? I believe even the BCS committee would eliminate a team that has had recent overwhelming, embarrassing losses like Obama. The superdelegates are supposed to protect the party from nominating a candidate that is on a downward tread as Obama is. The system has failed, is flawed, and needs thrown out asap.

SandyB: I just checked the April Court rulings. Hillary Clinton is still listed as a material witness. Judge Munoz has ruled that she does not hav to be deposed until after the November elections. He has not dismissed her. I do not see any mention that any of the counts that were filed have been dropped. I do know how to read Court papers. Please refer me to a site with an update later than April 29, 2008.

I am not quite sure why you feel the need to go on about it all. Obama is close to being the nominee so why even bother worrying about what Clinton’s supporters say?

Although I don’t agree with Senator Clinton’s way of doing things – I respect her dedication and tenacity. She will make a good Cabinet member or Secretary of State or Senate Majority Leader. I think Senator Obama has learned a lot from her – she’s toughened him up for battling McCain. I hope they can mend things since we need them to work together to defeat McCain. Let’s work to bridge the divide and make Senator Obama the next President of the United States! Go Obama 2008!

I can not for the life of me ever understand how people with even half a working brain could ever support Hillary Clinton. She is the biggest phony I have ever seen, a snake oil sales men in a pant suit. I wouldn’t vote for her to be dog catcher.

roxanne – I’ll give you one example, but you probably won’t get it. From the beginning, Obama has been saying that Hillary didn’t have the judgment to be president because she voted for the Iraq resolution. That was his standard stump speech. Do you think that a person should be judged by one action? The funny thing about that statement is that Edwards and Kerry, Obama’s supporters who wanted to be president, also voted in favor of the resolution. I never heard him say they didn’t have the judgment to be president although he must think it.

Posted by: Clair | June 2, 2008, 8:44 pm 8:44 pm

DON’T BE DUPED AGAIN AMERICA !!!
IT’S ABOUT ELECTABILITY !!!
Large numbers of BUSH_McCain Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on with the backing and help of the medical and insurance industry. Under the direction of the George Bush, and Karl Rove vote fraud, and vote manipulation machine. Because they feel Barack Obama would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And they want to stop Hillary Clinton from fixing the HUGE! American, and Global mess they have created. shocking!!! isn’t it. Just gotta love those good old draft dodging, silver spoon Texas boys. Not! :-(
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves off of you, and your children’s suffering.
With Hillary Clinton you are almost 100% certain to get quality affordable universal health care for everyone very soon. And you are also certain to see major improvements in the economy for everyone.
The American people face even worse catastrophes ahead than the ones you are living through now. It will take all of the skills, and experience of Hillary Clinton to pull the American people out of this mess we are in. Fortunately fixing up, and cleaning up others incompetence, immoral degeneracy, and mess is what the Clinton’s do very well.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
Just look at Oregon for example. Obama won Oregon by about 70,000 votes. But approximately 79,000 Bush republicans switched party’s back in January to vote for Obama in the democratic primary. They are not going to vote for, or support any Democrat in November. Are you DEMOCRATS going to put up with that. Are you that stupid, and weak. The Bush republicans think you are that stupid, and weak.
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses, and open primaries where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help. Except North Carolina where 35% of the population is African American, and approximately 90% of them block voted for him. African Americans are only approximately 17% of the general population.
Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton. This is even more phenomenal when you consider she has been also fighting against the George Bush, Karl Rove vote fraud machine in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses. Hillary Clinton is STUNNING!.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. That is crystal clear now. Because all of the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. And the demographics, and experience are completely against him. All of this vote fraud and Bush republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is.
You will have another McGovern catastrophe where George McGovern lost 49 of 50 states. And was the reason the super-delegates were created to keep that from happening again. Don’t let that happen to the party and America again super-delegates. You have the power to prevent it. The only important question now is who can best win in November. And the answer is HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON. That fact is also now crystal clear.
And YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose. As do African Americans. Support Hillary Clinton. She will do her best for all of you. And she will know how to best get it done on day one.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic, and heroic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen. Probably the best there has ever been. :-)

Posted by: rodney | June 2, 2008, 8:48 pm 8:48 pm

sanity man thats somewhat true but a deeper truth is that the curriculum that is taught at most all public schools today is all about what the parents will ALLOW to be taught , and those same parents are mostly morons too ,themselves being “educated” at some ill funded public school with nitwits and child molesters for teachers .
a kid comes home with a book that says something the ignorant uneducated parents dont agree with and the parents go crazy and file lawsuits here and there and everywhere…then the other schools in this country are afraid to teach anything that isnt the “status quo” and that is exactly the problem.
additionally public school teachers are paid trifles and there is no real accountability anywhere in the system ; no wonder the ged and the sat have had to be “dumbed down” so our usa kids can compete scholastically with other countries students scores .
let an average american high school GRADUATE take the ENTRANCE
exam at most european middle schools and they would look like the morons they are.
just because someone has degree or is a graduate doesnt someone smart , thats another huge problem in this country with the education system . in other countries you would go to college to become more intelligent and less ignorant ,learning about ethics and morality as you go .
here in the good old usa , all a “higher education” is really about is getting the old sheepskin ( cheat or lie if you need to ) and getting a good job making more $$ and getting ahead of everyone else at any cost usually, and that ,in a nutshell , is the root of the problem ,ie; way too many stupid greedy selfish uninformed unethical voters/people…
which, if you check above , was my original rant….

Where’s Senator Obama’s counter attack to her “I’m winning the Hard Working White Americans votes?
Where’s his I can win all the Hard working Black Male Votes comment?

Thats what got Hillary in the spot she is in to begin with. Obama ran a smarter campaine both in management and money. Some people say Obama bought the win but thats because he had a better team and pulled in more money. Nothing wrong with that. Hillary will make the same mistake and assume she can beat McCain. If she cant beat an unknown Sen from Ill how will she beat the whole rep party and McCain. The SDs know this.
She should stay in until it starts hurting the party as her right. I suspect the SDs will give her a clear sign and very soon as who they consider the winner of the nomination. But goodluck Sen Clinton and I really mean that. I will vote for you no problem but right now am a Obama supporter.

Posted by: voteordie
========================================
SUPERDELEGATES mean nothing until the Convention, which takes place in Denver, Aug. 25-28. Actually, they are supposed to keep their minds open and their mouths shut until them, but it looks like a lot of them got it backwards. There sole responsibility is to ensure that the candidate chosen is the STRONGEST AND BEST one to win the White House for the Democratic Party in November. Their responsibility is to the party and not the candidate. To do otherwise is to be false to the party and derelict in their duty.
When you say Obama is the stronger candidate according to the voters in ALL states, then please explain why he has only 224 electoral votes to 308 for Clinton. Even if for some very strange reason he wins both states tomorrow, he will only pick up 6 electoral votes. By the way, you only need 270 electoral votes to win. So, when you look at it, he has won in big states with small populations, while Clinton has won in the important states. Right now he may have a lot of SUPERDELEGATE endorsements, but until the Convention, they don’t count.

Rodney…
more on Nafta:
October 2007: Obama is the first presidential candidate to officially declare his/her support for the NAFTA expansion moving through the Congress. His announcement is not necessarily surprising, considering he was the keynote speaker at the launch of the Hamilton Project — a Wall Street front group working to drive a wedge between Democrats and organized labor on globalization issues. His announcement comes just days after a Wall Street Journal poll found strong bipartisan opposition to lobbyist-written NAFTA-style trade policies.
Any other comments about NAFTA? How about bashing Obama over it?

The drawn-out primaries have kept the media attention on the Democrats, which is good. That way, McCain is hardly ever seen, but we also need to realize that this drawn-out process is fracturing the Democratic Party – just like the Republicans want! We can’t play into their politics of divide-and-conquer. Let’s rise above that so we won’t have a third Bush term. Keep your eyes on the Republican agenda! They want us to keep fighting. Don’t fall for their tricks. Remember the goal is to elect a Democrat – not Bush’s buddy.

I didn’t know you were only looking for sexist/racist comments roxanne. I hadn’t thought of it as a sexist comment, but I guess when the only person he is saying doesn’t happen to have the judgment to be president is a woman and he didn’t say that about the men who voted the same way, I guess one could ascribe a sexist remark to it. Read his book for racist comments. Attend his church for 20 years and tell me he isn’t a racist. Look to his calling women he doesn’t know as “sweeties” and then tell me he doesn’t have some racism/sexism issues. And be on the receiving end when he “you’re likeable enough.” And he certainly is an elitist.

She did not have the vision to run an effective campaign.
She did not have the skills to properly manage either her campaign finances or strategy.
She does not have the commitment of the large majority of pledged delegates to the convention.
She has become a divisive figure, now at the highest levels of the party.
The party may seek to circumvent the will of the people, but this WILL destroy the party.

I cannot understand why so many “professional journalists”, including those of ABC, do not get that Senator Clinton, cannot and/or must not
“concede” the pres. nomination to Senator Obama. He must win it, or she must lose it. Otherwise we continue to do business as usual.
It has become so apparent(at least to me) that our country has much to do to insure equal opportunity for women especially in government. If Senator Clinton stepped out now, she would do what the male establishment has made previous female political figures do and “women’s equality,etc.” would still be a phantom. The very fact that Senator Obama has so little “concern” about these struggles of women in our history (doesn’t even seem to know of Shiley Chisolm and her fights)speaks reams itself of Obama’s naivete. A little awareness on his part would help UNIFY the party, and the country. If he cannot even talk about the gender issue as a real issue it will be an uphill battle to win the presidency.

indiahere-dont matter how you cut it –slick willy was president and signed both—-even bush senior vetoed the attempt—-when willyhad chinese sleeping in lincolns bed i surely knew what he was up to.-now we all know–problem is how do we stop it surely not by putting another clinton in office–as it most certainly will happen again.

CW actually Obama won because the media showed favoritism in the jounalism and the media hype provided to Obama …he runs on a race card media treats Obama with kid gloves..all these controversies should have come out sooner as well as more information that will come out…Obama’s past record has not been scrutinized by the media and his inexperience or lack of judgement has not been played as much for fear of being label racism..yet sexism came to play big time with Obama and the media…ever other bit poke fun of Hillary on various issues but it was Obama light all the way…without that kind of support then he would not have been able to raise money…he also was suppose to be a candidate that was different but in reality he had the heavy guns and the establishment in his corner almost if not from the beginning

Posted by: dell | June 2, 2008, 8:59 pm 8:59 pm

The media & Obama people are trying real hard to push Hillary out of the race.
If Hillary comes out and say she will take it all the way to Denver, her supporters will replenish her campaign accounts maybe as much as $10-$20 million instantly.

Hillary has had the most votes cast for her. Do you really think all the uncommitted votes went to Obama in MI when Richardson, Biden, and Edwards who also took their names off were also in the uncommitted category? Just becuase the DNC Rules gave him the delegates, doesn’t mean he got all the votes. What math are you doing?

Posted by: susan | June 2, 2008, 9:04 pm 9:04 pm

Rodney..
So are you excusing what the other Dems did and your own representatives? Seems to me that they have equal power when it comes to voting. Sure a president can veto, but that is more of a George W tactic.
I believe that an administration reflects the man in charge, rather than the party.

Posted by: Independent Voter | June 2, 2008, 9:04 pm 9:04 pm

JA – I gave a weak response because I expect the voters of FL and MI to hold their leaders accountable? I can’t vote in either of those states so what do you suggest? Unfortunately, I think it’s that kind of logic that have given us two terms of Bush/Cheney.

Posted by: jmengate | June 2, 2008, 9:05 pm 9:05 pm

If Obama wins the nomination, I’ll vote for him. If Hillary wins the nomination, I’ll vote for her.
Those of you who say you won’t vote for the other one if your candidate doesn’t win the nomination, I say you’re full of sh**. If you can’t see that getting the Republicans out of the White House is more important than which Democrat gets in, then you’re full of sh**…and stupid to boot.
Then again, given that the Democrats are starting to sound as stupid as the Republicans, I wonder if really does make any difference.

Posted by: Ryan | June 2, 2008, 9:06 pm 9:06 pm

Oh now you want to talk about politicians and their stories. I never said that Hillary wasn’t a politician and capable of telling stories or misstating facts. But don’t think that Obama isn’t just as capable: Selma speech where he was already 4 yrs. old; Rev. Wright – he didn’t know the guy was controversial but he didn’t want him to be at his coming out party because he was controversial; 57 states in the U.S.; he is leaving the church but not for political reasons, and so on. Obama is the one who said he was a different kind of politician and above it all; I didn’t hear Hillary say that.

Posted by: Susan | June 2, 2008, 9:07 pm 9:07 pm

Did anyone read the article today where Hillary said she’s a “one day at a time” kind of person? I certainly don’t want someone in the White House who can’t look past the day he/she is currently in.

Give it up! Who was the first person to call Senator Obama an elitist?
The Senator who’s worth over 100 million dollars! As for his church!
I couldn’t care less. I don’t even go to church anymore. I haven’t since I was a child. Try to remember that Senator Obama is running for president – not Trinity church. Also, are you aware that during the Monica Lewinsky and subsequent impeachment scandal, it was Rev Wright who went to the Whitehouse and prayed with the Clintons?
Did you know that? More importantly, it’s probably stunning to you that Senator Obama knows this but has never mantioned it. Do you think if the situation was reversed, Senator Clinton wouldn’t have brought this to the nations attention? As for calling the female reporter sweetie, he did call her personally and apologize for it. On the other hand, after repeatedly cheating on his wife and lying to her and the American public, he has never come clean! Calling someone sweetie is no where near the humiliation that Senator Clinton has endured from her own husband. I remember during the debates she kept saying “You can’t pick your family but you can pick your pastor! Well she was wrong there too because can pick you family-namely, your husband and she did a bang up job there. She kept saying she would have left the church. Well most feminist would have kicked him to the curb but political ambition was more important to her. How’s that working out!

Posted by: roxanne | June 2, 2008, 9:09 pm 9:09 pm

We’ve won the key swing states that will decide the race in November — and yes, that includes Florida and Michigan. Most important, we’ve won the most votes. There is no more powerful way to prove that I am our best chance to win in November.
That’s why I am asking you to stand with me today. And I promise you, as I always have, that if you stand up for me now, I will stand up for you every day in the White House.

susan – “What math are you doing?” – Actually, that’s the crux of the problem. We have a situation where both candidates are spinning things to show that they have more votes. Votes shouldn’t be something you can spin, but we probably both agree this is a somewhat flawed process especially when you have leaders in MI and FL who seem determined to bend the rules. The question is, where do we go to from here?

bah
Well there is actualy a thinking rational person posting tonight. I like your post. You offered argument that was cogent and for the most part accurate.
I have to disagree with the “moron” part. Kids are kids. But kids going to public schools are the ones that have to take what they can get and make the most of it. I was in a suburban public school, but my Dad never graduated high school and his parents never spoke English (only Sicillian). Ok, I graduated from a suitcase college mostly made up of Chicago public school grads. After spending three years in dorms with them I saw that my unborn progeny needed to see what life was really like in minority schools.
So my kids were doomed to 50% minority schools. The whole spectrum from the suburban to inner city population. It was great. They know life and people. They would not trade their high school for anything. One graduated from UofM and the another from Columbia of Chicago. The other two are in community college but are going strong.
Public schools are the best if we can shed our fear of them. You are right, parents make the difference. My dad, as the first born of his family in America and a liberal Huey Long program of education, always said that education is the key. Public schools are an opportunity at nearly no cost. Some take it and some don’t.
I’ll have to go up and see your first post. I regret that I did not see it first. I do bristle at critizism of it since they have given me and my family so much.

She did not have the vision to run an effective campaign.
She did not have the skills to properly manage either her campaign finances or strategy.
She does not have the commitment of the large majority of pledged delegates to the convention.
She has become a divisive figure, now at the highest levels of the party.
The party may seek to circumvent the will of the people, but this WILL destroy the party.
(Kudos to Tony in GA)
MORE DELEGATES.

Mainstream Media: We Demand Barack Obama Be Vetted. Who is Barack Obama?
Mainstream media has failed the United States of America.
The media favoritism for Barack Obama and the lack of investigative journalism and simple truth reporting on Barack Obama is disturbing millions of Americans. It appears there are two realities: the Mainstream Media Barack Obama and the World Wide Web Barack Obama. The internet is on fire with mass amounts of articles, videos, blogs, photographs, and commentary that expose a very different version of Barack Obama than that which is mysteriously depicted in MSM on a continual basis. This contrast is forcing many Americans to ask: Who Is Barack Obama? MSM: We demand Barack Obamabe vetted. Vetting a potential American president to inform voters is ethical journalism’s responsibility—it is your role, and this trust between the News and the People has been betrayed

Your logic makes no sense to me. I can’t disown a cousin, but I sure as heck have the free will to choose the church that I attend for 20 years. Would it have been okay for Hillary to have attended for 20 yrs. a church where whites were putting down black people and she had named her book after the pastor and considered that pastor her spiritual advisor? I haven’t been going to churches where this kind of thing is done so I find it offensive. I guess I just don’t get how you can be so naive as to think that this is okay for someone who wants to be president of the UNITED States.

I understand that Rev. Wright has a huge following and that he is well-respected among people who preach black liberation theology. I get that. I just don’t think that I want a person as my president who has attended this type of church for 20 yrs. The fact that the Clintons showed him some respect because of who he is among his followers, doesn’t mean that they agree with him.

I’ve posted on here earlier that the fact that she won’t win the nomination is already a win for this country. We’d rather go down swinging with Obama!
We’re all just thrilled that she’ll finally have to get the hell off the stage!
Sadly this is how much she is hated personally! You can all call Obama an empty suit or racist which is just ridiculous considering he hasn’t been preaching hatred in that church but none of you seem to have any personal hatred for him the way many people do for Clinton. Again, it’s your right not to like him or want to vote for him but I just don’t see the personal hatred! You have to admit that is says a lot about Senator Obama! I’m very proud of the way he’s handled Senator Clinton. He’s a true gentleman. Remember that it was a female reporter from one of those public radio shows that called Senator Clinton a whore! Senator Obama has not called her any names and all of you on this website have to admit that!

“Frankly, I don’t think Hillary had a failed campaign. Anyone who suggests that given how close the race is, is foolish. Given the liberal media in the tank for Obama, the right wing media hating the Clintons, Obama outspending her almost 2 to 1 on ads, and everything else, I’d say Hillary ran a heck of a campaign. Just think what she would have done if any of the major networds were in the tank for her for the last 3 months. It looks like she may even win SD tomorrow. Quite an ending for a failed campaign. Given all that Obama had going for him, I’d say that he didn’t do all that well.”

You ask WHY Obama’s not winning in places like Puerto Rico? It’s because he’s being a good sport and not running up the score in the last
period – to use a sporting metaphor. He knows he’s won mathematically and rather than feeding the fire, he’s done nothing but compliment her.
He’s letting Hillary “do her thing” unopposed. He’s doing everything he can to let her “save face” and bow out gracefully and to try to create
party unity, but she’s taken this opportunity to further divide the party. This whole thing where she said Fla and Mich should NOT count and
now says they should count (like people are too stupid to forget her previous position) is for the birds! Also her recent tact to incite our gender
(women) into seeing her inability to win as gender bias rather than her lack of organizational and financial skill. I wish for Hillary the best, but
for the sake of the rest of us who would like to have our country back, I hope she uses her sharp wits to concede while somehow undoing the
divisions she’s created.

On some days and at some level I agree with what Rev. Wright has said. I just don’t think that someone who has attended this church and listened to this man for 20 years should be president of the UNITED States and I am a fairly liberal person. Perhaps if Obama were VP for 8 years, I would get to know him better. However until I understand him better and he gets more experience, I am not willing to support him for President given what little I do know about him. And I am afraid that the mere fact that he says he doesn’t agree with Rev. Wright is just not enough. I’ve learned that politicians will say anything to get elected.

Further, if McCain, Clinton and many others had voted the way Senator Obama did, we wouldn’t even be there!

obama has done the right move and has not spent huge amounts of money on primary after he has nomination in the bag—save it for the fall.

There’s some follow-up news to the Democratic Party’s rules committee’s decisions over the weekend.
First of all, it seems that even though the committee voted to give the delegates from Michigan and Florida only half a vote each at the convention, they will end up getting full votes.
..
On the second point, about the Michigan delegation: The Clinton team is outraged that the committee arbitrarily assigned 59 delegates to Mr. Obama, whose name was not on the ballot. And they are even more outraged that among those 59 were four that were “hijacked” from Mrs. Clinton, as Harold Ickes, her top lieutenant, put it. (Based on the popular vote, they say, Mrs. Clinton should have received 73 delegates but the committee gave her 69 instead.)
How could the committee simply take votes from one candidate and give them to someone else? Isn’t that, um, undemocratic?

Americans have many questions about Barack Obama that are not being answered. It has become a communal mission to try “to get the truth out about Barack Obama.” Actually, if the news had covered Obama as business as usual, I doubt most people would have even looked him up so much. Here is a conglomeration of Barack Obama concerns which can easily be found ALL OVER the internet. I am not going to include every American concern, nor am I going to go into extreme detail, and I am not going to provide every link to every website because there are far too many. We Americans expect that responsible and ethical journalists with integrity will explore and verify or debunk these concerns and report on the truth. We Want The News. We demand Barack Obama be vetted. I want to give you an insider’s look at what people are feverishly discussing about Barack Obama on the internet. Look up almost any thread on any political forum and you will see the questions being asked. Here is an example of a plea for investigation that is commonly found on the Internet

sorry , i meant no offense other than perhaps my undiplomatic opinion.
as usual there are always going to be exceptions to the rule , and you my friend along with your family ,are apparently just that , unfortunately.
i say unfortunately because you and your family ,and your values are much too rare in the usa today .
one large problem with public schools is their lack of funding/time/space for the individual, in particular the creative individual who is creative and productive OUTSIDE of the status quo that is stagnating most public schools.
sure there are always a few specific instances where some bright kids get the most out of public school, but thats to be expected. sadly ,apparently there are way too few of those instances regularly occurring than this country needs, judging from these largely ignorant and moronic posts/comments.
clearly ,what is needed here is to be teaching the children at an early age ,gifted and not so gifted alike to be OBJECTIVE AND HUMBLE . those attributes lay the groundwork for all that follows in life, but honestly thats the last thing this corrupt government wants , eg ; smart well informed citizens who can think for themselves …(read “The Prince” if you dont believe me.
sanity man ,tell me this…how many people do you know who you can say are truly humble and objective? i have not met too many in my 48 yrs and most of the ones i HAVE met have not been usa nationals .
most were somewhat like your father , coming from the old world ,with consequent old world values.
my original point was/is that those (imho most important) old world values are not being taught in public schools ,not in any appreciable degree and that is why we have so many problems in this country , mostly because of the under-educated uncaring unethical pompous petty majority of morons that is america today.
by the way , get out of the left hand lane you morons , its for passing traffic only…SHEEEESH!!

One question is: Isn’t Sen. Clinton going to give a speech on Tuesday night wrapping up whatever the results of the primaries on Tuesday? The situation is getting heated among supporters on both sides. Both sides neglecting the fact that both candidates feel similar on most of the big issues that’ll come to attention in the fall (I’m not saying they are exactly the same). Personally, I’m embarrassed that in this country people can’t look beyond their own narrow ideologies or viewpoints and think for the good of people in general. The biggest issues will be the economy (which may be in the downwards for the long-run), Iraq (a costly and morally ambiguous situation despite any positive results of the surge), and healthcare. I hope that people will use their intelligence to consider these things instead of seeking to curtail one another at the polls/election.

With the way Hillary has been treated by the DNC an the MSM, she should get together with the Mayor of NY, an run as a Third Party Candidate. I think she would win hands down.

Obama supports you guys dont realize that we Hillary supporters not mad but when general election comes I will vote for McCain as a protest vote period. Obama needs the states which Hillary won whereas he will have to put Ms Clinton on the ticket and it will be the most powerful ticket guys; However, I will vote and support that ticket 100 percent. If he puts someone else on the ticket then I will protest my vote.

HILLARY CLINTON HAS CONCEEDDED AND WILL CONFIRM IT FROM NEWYORK TOMORROW NIGH FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. TO SAVE BILL’S LEGACY AND STILL PROVIDE A MEANS OF INCOME FOR HER FAMILY.
2. NOT TO GET INTO A CONFRONTATION WITH NANCY PELOSI AND REID – WHICH WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE HER POLITICAL IMAGE AND CARRIER.
3. TO SAVE A POLICAL CAREER OPPORTUNITY FOR CHELSEA.
4. ONCE NO MORE PRIMARIES AND THE CAMERAS HAVE GONE, SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANY MORE MONEY TO CALL PRESS CONFERENCES AND DEFINITELY, NO MORE FREE MEDIA.
5. WEATHER SHE CONCEDES OR NOT, SHE HAS BEEN VOLUNTEREDLY CONCEEDDED BY THE PARTY.
6. SHE SURE WILL WANT THE NUMBER TWO JOB, SO STAYING IN THE RACE WILL RUIN HER CHANCE AS SHE CANNOT MAKE NUMBER 1.
7. SHE HAS NOTICED THE KIND OF EMBARASSEMENT SHE HAS PUT HER FAMILY THROUGH AND THEY WILL SURE WANT OUT OF THIS MESS – LIKE BILL SAID TODAY.
8. SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE SEEN AS EXPECTING OBAMA’S ASSASINATION.
9. ONCE OUT OF CAMPAIGN, ALL THE MESS SHE HAS CAUSED WILL BE HUNTING HER FROM REST, SO SHE WILL QUICLY FIND A NEW FOCUS.
10. SEEING THE WAY THAT THE MOST TALENTED CAMPAIGNER AND LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS PERFROMED – BARACK OBAMA, SHE IS IN AWE SHOCK!

Obama is really being selfish and short-sighted. If the ticket was Clinton/Obama, they would probably win and Obama could be VP for 8 years and then become President for the following 8 years, if all things went well. That would be a great record for him and we could all get to know him better and he could work on racial relations during his time as VP. As it is, he will probably not win the general election.

What happened to Hillary saying she will except whatever the DNC decide. That she will be happy with it?? Again she is a lier! If things don’t go her way she just keep on pushing the issue.
Now she is mad because the number of required delegates are up?? I mean even if it stayed the same we would not even be talking about her today because Obama would be the nominee. Hillary & Bill are really making me wonder why they want to be back in the White House so bad and I guarantee you it is not for you who support her or the American people.

It does not make any difference. Not one candidate is talking about the impending energy situation other than to day “we have to eliminate our dependence on foriegn oil.” No kidding. Not one candidate is giving specifics on how to do this; all the energy we need is right here in North America but Congress will not allow anyone to get it. The prices we are paying at the pump is being caused by Congress, not OPEC and not Big Oil. Do some research if you do not think this is true. Alaska has filed a lawsuit against the federal government because they will not allow the state to get out the enormous amounts of natural resources located within its borders. McCain, Clinton, or Obama….you are going to pay way too much for your gas and heating energy because the government is totally disconnected with the people.

We can all be mad. I am an Obama supporter, I can be mad that Hillary continued when she was done after Miss. I can be mad that she played the race card everyday after that primary. I can be mad that Bill Clinto ran around looking like a total fool, desttroying my opinion of Hillary. I can be mad that Hillary decided she should stay in because Bobby Kennedy was killed in June. I can be mad about all of thes things, but im not. Politics are what they are. Do I think Hillary really meant that maybe Barack would be killed? Hell no I dont believe that, she was judging the length of the race. The media has separated us. We are all in this for the same reason, whether you believe in the “black man” or the “woman”. It is about getting GW and his regime out of the white house. Lets stop being bitter either way. I would have voted for Hillary had she told me the “Chicago Bears” sucked. I would have voted for her because I am sick of this administration and 4 more years of the same failed policies. Suck up your pride, lets fix this country. Even if Hillary stole this election somehow after Tuesday, I WOULD STILL VOTE FOR HER! I cannot deal with 4 more years of elitist politics, and trust me, that is what Republicans have been for 12 years. I hope we can come together and end this crap.

Barack Obama stole (and I mean that literally) 59 delegates in Michigan: 4 from Hillary Clinton and 55 from Uncommitted, a legally recognized presidential status. In a tactical error, Obama took his name off the ballot, and now a handful of political hacks at the DNC have set aside fundamental principles of election and constitutional law to effectively reverse his voluntary action.

Posted by: RossiMa | June 2, 2008, 10:25 pm 10:25 pm

She did not have the vision to run an effective campaign.
She did not have the skills to properly manage either her campaign finances or strategy.
She does not have the commitment of the large majority of pledged delegates to the convention.
She has become a divisive figure, now at the highest levels of the party.
The party may seek to circumvent the will of the people, but this WILL destroy the party.
(Kudos to Tony in GA)

If we include Florida (where Clinton won by 294,772 after neither she nor Obama campaigned) and the caucus states of Iowa, Nevada, Maine and Washington (where votes weren’t counted and must, therefore, be estimated), Obama leads by 134,746; if we disenfranchise those caucus states–which represent a net Obama gain of about 110,000 votes–he’s still ahead by 24,524. What’s more, if we give Clinton her 330,000 Michigan votes and award Obama all 237,000 of the uncommitteds–a flawed but roughly equitable proposal, seeing as experts project that the Illinois senator would’ve won a standard Great Lakes State primary by 80,000–he emerges with a lead of 44,605. Even with only 82 percent of these uncommitteds in his column, Obama wins the overall popular vote. And he’s expected to expand that edge by tens of thousands of votes on Tuesday with projected victories in South Dakota and Montana.

If Obama had been more concilliatory and not as elitist and more will ing to get down in the dirt like Hillary he would seem more human… I will be angry for a long time ane the underhanded stuff that the Obama advisors have done… Obama will no more be able to change things than Hillary or Mccain… Im frustrated with the whole mess and some of you Obamabots blame Hillary for everything

doublestandard – You asked “WHY is Obama STILL losing Primaries by huge margins?” After White voters learned that Obama is most likely a Black Nationalist based on the Church he attended – and still refuses to denounce – they began to vote for Hillary. Obama knew it would happen too – that’s why he said majority White Pennsylvanians cling to guns and religion. Beginning with Pennsylvania, Obama has been unable to win any primaries unless the States involved had large Black populations. For the same reason, he will loose to McCain in a landslide.

Posted by: christological | June 2, 2008, 10:27 pm 10:27 pm

The superdelegates have a couple of different reasons to vote for Obama. First of all, he one the pledged delegate race, so they would have to have a pretty strong reason to vote against him. And they don’t.
They can look at the polls and the electability as well as anyone else. they know there isn’t any obvious difference between the two on electability.
But they also have to consider down-ticket races. The Democratic party is more than just for President. And some of these people themselves are in tough elections. Obama brings out new voters, and he has set up strong operations in many more conservative districts. It is probable that more Democrats would win in marginal districts with Obama at the top of the ticket then Clinton.

OK-For the last time! Since many of you are fixated on Rev Wright, would you care to respond to the fact that during the Lewinsky and impeachment scandal Rev Wright went to the Whitehouse and prayed with the Clintons?
By the way, Senator Obama is aware of this but has never mentioned it. How many of you think that if the situation was reversed, Senator Clinton would have kept that little tid bit to herself? See this is part of the change Senator Obama has been talking about! Go ahead. Respond! Anybody…Anybody…Buhler….Buhler!

Thanks Claire -
You ask WHY Obama’s not winning in places like Puerto Rico? It’s because he’s being a good sport and not running up the score in the last period – to use a sporting metaphor. He knows he’s won mathematically and rather than feeding the fire, he’s done nothing but compliment her. He’s letting Hillary “do her thing” unopposed. He’s doing everything he can to let her “save face” and bow out gracefully and to try to create party unity, but she’s taken this opportunity to further divide the party. This whole thing where she said Fla and Mich should NOT count and now says they should count (like people are too stupid to forget her previous position) is for the birds! Also her recent tact to incite our gender (women) into seeing her inability to win as gender bias rather than her lack of organizational and financial skill. I wish for Hillary the best, but for the sake of the rest of us who would like to have our country back, I hope she uses her sharp wits to concede while somehow undoing the divisions she’s created.

I cannot believe the stink Hillary supporters are raising. Sure it is easy to win the Superbowl if your the only team on the field. YOu can run up the points to a zillion. Come on, grow up. If Michigan and Florida had waited, like the rest of the states, they would have been very consequential. You break the rules, and you should be punished, or did they never learn that from their parents. Obama took his name off, as was required. Now that Hillary lost her dream (which she thought would be over by Feb 5)of being coronated president. I am sorry lady, you agreed to the rules, and you been shifting your position so much I am seasick. If she was the nominee, I would be big enough of a person to look at the policy differences between her and McCain. However it is not her, so Hillary supporters should do likewise. Swallow their pride, and base their decision on the policy differences between Obama and McCain. If Hillary hadn’t blown off smaller contests in the beginning, maybe the story would be different, but guess what she did. Now her supporters are complaining. GO OBAMA (oh yes, this is from a blue collar white male, from a rust belt state) Oh by the way, wanting to keep guns out of our schools is not going to effect our right to hunt quail, deer, pheasant, elk..etc. (yes I hunt as well). Finally, look at who wears flag pins ( 5 time draft dodger), or Jim Webb (one decorated marine). Hitler wore the national symbol everyday, and Churchill didnt. GO OBAMA!

The word elite has A GOOD AND POSITIVE CONNOTATION. Look it up in the dictionary. I would think I have died and gone to heaven if someone said I was elite or I was an elitist. Wow. What a COMPLIMENT it actually is. In fact, according to the dictionary, in politics, the elite are the heads of the parties. For example, the actual President (Bush) and his top people; the heads of the Republican and Democratic committees, and whomever actually has AUTHORITY in the party to make and set policies. In fact, for a long time, Hillary Clinton was a PART OF the elite group, and by being FOR her husband, she was an actual “elitist”, because he was elite. IN NO DICTIONARY DOES ELITE MEAN SNOB. It means POWERFUL, and able to make decisions that stick.

Posted by: Amy | June 2, 2008, 10:33 pm 10:33 pm

Character issues impact Obama regarding his many hateful long term associates. He is therefore a poor and a weak candidate for the Democratic party to select. Unfortunately, Dean and Brazille tried to select him, not the voters, in light of the following facts.
Even if all of the uncommitted votes in Michigan were given to Obama, Clinton is estimated to win the final popular vote by 30,000 plus votes after Montana and South Dakota. Of course we all know Obama made an error and did not have his name on the Michigan ballot, so the actual vote margin for Clinton will be about 270,000 votes. (Undecided in Michigan got 238,000 votes.)
That is quite a nice win. All we need to do now is to insist, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, that the vote winner, Hillary Clinton, be nominated to beat McCain in November. If it goes to the convention in August it is only because Obama wants to steal the nomination, even though he lost the vote.

Posted by: sherry | June 2, 2008, 10:34 pm 10:34 pm

Barack Obama’s momentum has been sliding downhill since February, even though he has enjoyed the most lopsided media coverage of any presidential candidate in history, and even though he has spent more money, up to 4 times the amount, on advertising than Hillary Clinton. There is no indication that Obama’s trajectory will recover anytime soon, especially not given the treasure chest of ammunition he and his wife have produced for the GOP and 527’s.

RossiMa – Nobody stole anything; there wasn’t anything to steal. The elections were not legitimate. Clinton said so herself. But the DNC had to give MI and FL something to calm them down, so they came up with something. They did not apportion delegates according to the primary because the primary wasn’t legitimate.

Keith asked, “Your pastor has never said anything you disagree with?” I have had pastors that I strong disagreed with and I very quickly left the Church based on the Bible – John 10. Obama stayed in that Black Nationalist Church for 20+ years and still refused to denounce it. Obama for months referred to Wright as his “former pastor” whereas in actuality Wright remained his Senior Pastor. Obama simply lied or, at the very least, attempted to continue to dupe the public. He confronted Wright and resigned as a member of the Church only because it was politically expedient. He did not do as the Bible commands and that is to “shake the dust off his feet.” The Bible makes it clear that remaining in a Church will defile a person just as dust defiles the bottom of one’s feet. Obama refuses to admit that the words of Wright, Moss and the Priest were defiling and a reproach to almighty God.

Posted by: RossiMa | June 2, 2008, 10:39 pm 10:39 pm

Kieth requested, “Seriously, ONE HILLARY SUPPORTER, explain why Michigan and Florida should count now, when she voted they shouldt?”
That’s easy. Clinton changed her position and now wants to change the rules so that the people of FL and MI are not penalized, with the moral argument that she wants 100% of their votes to count. Her previous position did help the DNC prevent additional states from moving forward their primaries, and that did help the situation then, just as 100% counting of the votes is to help the situation now and enhance the chances the nominee could win FL and MI in November.

Posted by: sherry | June 2, 2008, 10:39 pm 10:39 pm

THE REBUBLICANS STARTED VOTING FOR OBAMA BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE HIM TO BE THE WEAKER CANDIDATE AGAINST McCAIN COME THE GEN ELECTION. WHO REALLY WINS IF OBAMA WINS THE DEM NOMINATION? ITS A PITY OBAMA CANNOT SEE THIS. ITS MORE IMPORTANT TO OBAMA THAT HE BE THE FIRST BLACK MAN TO WIN THE DEM NOMINATION, THAN TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY.

As I said previously, I don’t know the total story behind why or how MI and FL were penalized and where we got where we are.

Senator Clinton is ahead in the popular vote, and neither
candidate can secure the nomination with pledged delegates alone.
The automatic delegates can change their mind up until their vote at
the convention, and that is why this nominating process must be
resolved in August, and no earlier.
We Democrats will be united after our nomination process is
completed, but only if that process is completed justly and in fair
representation of the opinions of the members of our party. We
believe nominating Hillary Clinton is the only way our party can
guarantee victory in November.

Why has there been no reporting of the third pronouncement from Saturday’s DNC Rules Committee? “All children under the age of 12 years old are now…12 years old.”
Bananna Republic R us.
The decision on Saturday, particularly in regard to Michigan was fraud, plain and simple.
The vote in Michigan was held under the rules set forth by Michigan and certified by Michigan. The DNC, in the absence of a revote could either stick to the absurd proposition of seating no delegates or they could come up with a formula for sitting some lesser amount of delegates, but they could not willfully choose to fabricate vote totals based on whim, prejudice, or supposition. That is fraud. It is, actually, worse than the fatuous decision of the Supreme Court in 2000. It institutionalizes “discretion” in deciding what or whose votes are valid and what or whose votes are invalid. In other words, it embraces the worst of the Jim Crow South and gives us a democracy equivalent to that in the petty dictatorships around the world.
Obama chose to remove his name from the ballot in Michigan. He blocked a revote. He is the only one who violated the rules by running ads in Florida. Yet the DNC, in their infinite wisdom, granted him more votes than it is even possible he may have received.
The supposition that people may have voted for Obama under different conditions, presented as incontrovertible fact, is the most specious of self-serving reasoning. “People would have voted for me but it was snowing,” “People would have voted for me but they had to pick their feet in Poughkeepsie.” Total claptrap. How can any election in the future ever be decided?
Clinton won 73 delegates, the rest of the delegates are uncommitted. Period. Any other “decision” is false and illegal. Any other decision sets the most dangerous of precedents.
Obama is 59 delegates further away from “winning” before the convention than he is reported as being. It’s only virtually over if you’re a Nazi

Roxanne noted, “THE POPULAR VOTE IS NOT THE WAY THE DEMS DETERMINE THE NOMINEE!”
You are certainly correct. The way the dems determine the nominee is by the delegates. In a close battle, where Obama won the pledged delegates and Clinton won the total vote, and Clinton is superior in the electoral college match ups against McCain, the superdelegates end up deciding the nominee. They vote at the convention in August. The campaign now continues and focuses attention on the delegates and the superdelegates, all of whom are free to change their minds. Those are the rules. Let’ keep following them through August, and may the best person win.

roxanne – you’re missing the point again. They are basically tied and Hillary is doing much better in electoral polls. Obama won’t win the general election. The only way the democrats could possibly win this year would be if Clinton were at the top of the ticket because of her appeal to groups who matter in order to win the election, groups who have a real problem with Obama. That would give Obama a chance to be a VP for 8 years and then a president for the following 8 years. But I guess he’d rather not have either of the offices.

JUST the FACTS – LET AMERICA DECIDE
1. Hillary won in 17 large, mostly BLUE states (and 297 electoral college votes) Democrats have any realistic chance of winning – 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.
5. Obama won in the Republican majority RED states of consisting of only 199 electoral votes. Win the primary battle but lose the election war with McCain.

yea these Obamasnots are too young or too ablivious with their lattes and Jags to remember the scenario of 92 Perot was leading in these post primary GE matchus by 50 pts as of this time in 92 but some republican hack who was subsequently fired by Bush 41(me thinks it was Rove) threatened Perots daughter and he said as much… so he dropped out of the race till sept and came back and got 19 percent of the vote and Bill Clinton won with less than a plurality of 42-38 percent… Hillary as Indy would Obviously poll in the bottom end number of 40 percent… so it can and will happen no matter how these airheads pontificate… and yes it will destroy your precious left leaning part of the democratic party but so be it!

JUST the FACTS – LET AMERICA DECIDE
1. Hillary won in 17 large, mostly BLUE states (and 297 electoral college votes) Democrats have any realistic chance of winning – 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.
5. Obama won in the Republican majority RED states of consisting of only 199 electoral votes. Win the primary battle but lose the election war with McCain.

TAKE IT TO DENVER
just like Reagan took Ford to the Convention. It doesn’t automatically mean doom in November. Ford almost won 1976 anyway. He was only 36k votes away in WI and OH, and 2 percent in the popular vote. Another gaffe more and Carter would have lost.

I noticed that no one responded to my post about Obama being a Black Nationalist! Too much truth with which to contend? After White voters learned that Obama is most likely a Black Nationalist based on the Church he attended – and still refuses to denounce – they began to vote for Hillary. Obama knew it would happen too – that’s why he said majority White Pennsylvanians cling to guns and religion. Beginning with Pennsylvania, Obama has been unable to win any primaries unless the States involved had large Black populations. For the same reason, he will loose to McCain in a landslide.

JUST THE FACTS!
She did not have the vision to run an effective campaign.
She did not have the skills to properly manage either her campaign finances or strategy.
She does not have the commitment of the large majority of pledged delegates to the convention.
She has become a divisive figure, now at the highest levels of the party.
The party may seek to circumvent the will of the people, but this WILL destroy the party.

I had Obama supporters infected a prior news and spreading rumor that Hillary will close down her campaign.
One person suggest that we should all vote for BO. When I said that I can’t vote fore him because he’s inexperience. That person then said HRC can get the first 4 years but should agree to step down after 4 years, and let BO have the second 4 years. BO supporter hated the dynasty and wanted to pass the presidency like it’s a throne. LOL.

I commend Obama for his strategy to win small numbers of voters in caucus states. It ends up explaining why a person who won so many small caucus states, ended up losing the popular vote. Only the rules count to Obama, so let’s keep following the rules, and battle for the hearts and minds of all of the delegates until they actually vote in August. Good luck to all. May the best person win.

There is too much at stake.
This primary is historically unprecedented. Never has a race been so close… and yet never has any candidate been forced out prior to the convention?
I don’t agree with all the points made here, but my view is that Clinton has more than enough reason and right to take her candidacy to Denver. If that is what she chooses to do she has my absolute support.
I actually believe it is the only way to achieve unity in a race this close:
Denver = Final Vote = Clear Result = Resolution = Unity
Anything less will leave a festering wound in my opinion.

Posted by: Josephm20 | June 2, 2008, 11:02 pm 11:02 pm

Why aren’t people questioning her motives at this point. Because believe me she is not fighting for the people. Her & Bill has an agenda and it was a plan that was in place now before their final run in the WH. Hillary is lying to the Americans that she care about them because if she did care she would have conceded and backed the nominee.
If she finds a way to steal the nomination from Barack who has campained fairly and have been nothing but gracious to her from congratulating her when she win and speaking nothing but good, even when she slings dirt because that’s the only way she can win. I will not feel sorry for you Hillary supporters when she let you down on her empty promises. Especially the ones where Bill had a hand on and she promise to turn it around. I tell you they are up to no good and they do not care about us the American people.

It is ludicrous to assume that the Obama supporters can viciously attack women and girls for months, vicously attack our gender, and then assume that we will be happy to support Obama. That’s not logical and although both sides have some supporters who are prejudiced, the direction of prejudice apparently is almost entirely one way:from the Obama supporters towards the HRC supporters.
Obama must address the extreme hate against women his campaign has fueled, he must apologize for the abuse his supporters inflicted on women and girls, and he must take concrete actions to stop the hate speech in order to even begin to heal the wounds his supporters have inflicted on people who happen to be born female.

Posted by: RossiMa | June 2, 2008, 11:08 pm 11:08 pm

Personal attacks are reflection of one’s inner self and reflects shallow analysis. We’re not trying to hate on Obama – we love the guy. The problem he can’t win a national election. The fact is – Hillary can.
Facts speak for themselves. A primary is a practice run. Do you really think Republicans are going to vote Democractic as a general rule? Hillary won in the critical 17 BLUE Democractic large states with almost 300 electoral votes. All she needs is 270. Even if Obama did get 199 of the electoral votes in the RED states – without unity – he won’t get the 300 electoral votes that will go to McCain or an indepedent Hillary. The sad trend is Mr. Obama is on a downward spiral with the majority of moderate, hard working, middle class Americans, Asians, and Latinos. Most of Obama’s wins are in heavily Republican RED states. Open your eyes.
Do the math. Name me one thing that Obama did so great in the his home state of Illinois? What great changes has he made for his own people? Is the economy better because of him? If he really did do great things and can win – we would be behind him. So far he keeps voting “present” 70 percent of the time in the Senate instead of making a real stand of yes or no.

Mark my words! Hillary Rodham Clinton is a class act. She refuses to unveil the truth about Barack Hussein Obama because she is a party loyalist. But Barack Hussein Obama will ultimately – before we vote in November – be revealed as a Black Nationalist. Black Nationalist are sometimes referred to as Black Separatists but I prefer to say that some Black Nationalists are one step removed from being part of the many hate groups composed of Black Separatists. If you know anything about Trinity United Church of Christ and the politics in Chicago for many decades, you will most certainly know that Trinity United Church of Christ is a Black Nationalist Church and that is why Obama refuses to denounce it. Central Congregational United Chruch of Christ was also a Black Nationalist Church but let the United Church of Christ and became the Shrine of the Black Madonna. The UCC minister at Central renounced his UCC credentials and became charman of the Black Nationalist Christian Church that was the umbrella organization for Black Nationalist churches.

What a shameless corrupted and fraudulent woman Hillary is!” The winning delegate number always was and always will be 2210 delegates, which is half of 100% of all the delegates. This is the number the history books will report. The other numbers promulgated by the DNC thugs are all corrupt, aimed at helping Obama. You know him, he is the one with all the hateful and racist friends, who is the front man for the Chicago Daley and Axelrod Machine. Obama is the one who never won a contested election and who continues to be vetted every day. Obama is an overwhelming risk, a plain paper politician, untried and unproven. Nothing special. That is why he will lose, it is just a matter of if he will lose the nomination or the election. That is why loyal Democrats are upset. We see through it all. We have been around the block. We have lost seven of the last ten elections and in Obama we see another sure loser, and in a Democratic year!

RossiMa wrote, “It is ludicrous to assume that the Obama supporters can viciously attack women and girls for months, vicously attack our gender, and then assume that we will be happy to support Obama.” You are so right! If everything about Hillary remained the same except she was a man, she would have mopped up the floor against Obama. Misogyny or the hatred of women has been around since Adam and Eve and continued throughout the days of Moses. We still live in a patriarchal society – much more so than we live in a society when Blacks are the victims of White oppression – misogyny existed before racism was a blip on the radar screen of history. Since when has it been correct for men to conflate masculinity with the wielding of power and authority? For many White men they have found it easy to vote for Obama over Hillary. But wait until November – those same White men will vote for McCain. Racism in this Country is like an iceberg – you only see the 1/3 that’s above water! The rest of it is covert and sometimes on an unconscious level.

Sherry: This race will be over no later than Wednesday. Obama will have enough delegates and this contest will be over. Hillary keep claiming she won by some large margin in popular votes and I must say that 300k more votes is not victory. It means she barely edge ahead and that is only counting the MI & FL votes without it Barack is ahead by a couple more 100k.

not afraid – Wait! Don’t leave! You don’t have to support Hillary or John McCain but you can at least share the truth you have learned so people can make a more informed decision. Tell everything you know about Obama, Hillary and John McCain. You have spent time researching Obama so don’t let that research go to waste. Give them all 3 equal time and during the process maybe you will write in a person’s name or find yourself better able to weigh pros and cons yourself.

Nope said, “I must say that 300k more votes is not victory.” Well Bush had 500 more votes in Florida in 2000, and he turned that into victory. Therefore, a strong and fighting Clinton will take her 300,000 vote winning margin over Obama to Denver, and whip McCain in November. It is McCain vs. Clinton. The people have spoken.

Posted by: sherry | June 2, 2008, 11:55 pm 11:55 pm

Jesse Jackson did not concede when he ran with no chance of nomination he stayed until the convention. I guess it was fashionable to display that rhyming man to the loyal black voters.
Ted Kennedy, yes I said Ted Kennedy fought Carter all the way to the convention trailing by 700+ delegates. Always good to have a Kennedy around for some old time sympathy I guess.
Hillary does not need to go away and hide. She should stay in the race until the convention. It will be a great way to honor her voters and the historic campaign. The DNC won’t agree but then again they are laugable loser every 4 year.

Posted by: reaganfan | June 3, 2008, 12:02 am 12:02 am

It’s real simple folks. MI and FL broke the rules set by the DNC. Obama and Clinton both agreed to those rules. Neither candidate campaigned in either state. Clinton supporters’ anger is misplaced. Had the MI and FL Democratic parties followed the rules there would be no issue. Clinton also chose to ignore caucus states and small states which allowed Obama to rack up 11 straight victories. Had she made this a 50 state fight, there would be no issue. Then when it because clear that Obama had an insurmountable lead in pledged delegates, Clinton demanded the rules be changed. On Saturday the Obama campaign didn’t have to compromise on either FL or MI. He had enough votes to the swing the decision by the Rules and Bylaws Committee his way but instead chose to focus on fairest outcome given the flawed election in both states. No one wants to acknowledge the voters in MI who voted for Clinto because no other name was on the ballot. We will never know how many people stayed how because they were told their votes would not be counted. Now Clinton and her supporters are still not satisfied. Please spare me the ‘popular vote’ argument because in a nomination contest delegates determine the nominee, not total votes. Also there is no official vote count from caucuses. Both Clinton and Obama know that. Obama won fair and square. He was better organized, raised more money and outspent Clinton 2:1. Do you teach your children to change the rules when they are losing? Do you teach them to root for the opposing team when they don’t get their way? Threatening to vote for McCain is asinine. A vote for McCain is a vote to continue the war. A vote for McCain is a vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade. A vote for McCain is a vote for a man who by his own admission doesn’t know much about the economy.

And just who is going to pay for this Convention? Nobody is answering me. The DNC have only $4.4 million a few days ago and they need at least $100 to $120 million. HRC is in debt to about $30 million. I am an Obama supporter and many of us do not feel inclined to contribute to the DNC to give HRC and her supporters a floor fight they have not contributed one nickel to or add yet more debts. So, we are holding back on any further contributions! You need to start sending in about $150 million between now and August 25th. After that, money is needed for the GE elections. McCain already has about $23 millions and rising so make that nearly $200 million to raise for HRC. The GOP is nearing its convention monies. So, if you want your demands for the super delegates to do a flip flop to nominate HRC, then start putting your money where you mouth is to meet your demands because there are no free rides any more.

Posted by: KiwiTricia | June 3, 2008, 12:18 am 12:18 am

I find the Democratic National Party to be a major embarrassment…because of their decision to freely grant delegates to Obama for a fight that he VOLUNTARILY pulled himself out of. It’s like the school child who chose not to play, but when the contest is won by the other candidate wins, he wants to benefit from the game. and the DNC decided to referee this to award delegates to a non-player. Set the precedent and next time, you’ll be making decisions based on “exit polls”; maybe you can get the biased media headed by CNN to help you.
I am not voting for Obama if he is the nominee; I will vote for McCain because the DNC has showed this is not a party worth respecting, and Obama has not won my trust…..and he comes with a lot of personal baggage and lack of personal conviction….he will be a puppet president.

Get your facts straight dem38 and try to have an intelligent conversation without calling people names. Per the rules of the DNC, only IA and NH were allowed to hold primaries before February 5. No other state was allowed to move it’s primary up. Again it’s super simple. If you are angry about the outcome that’s fine, just place the blame where it belongs – the state Democratic parties and Republican governors of MI and FL for defying the DNC and causing the delegates to get stripped from both states. Don’t the pledged delegate/superdelegate system? Get involved and work from within the Democratic party to change the nominating process. Just don’t change the rules at the end of the game to get what you want. Don’t alter the truth because you don’t like how things ended. FACT – Obama and Clinton agreed to DNC rules regarding FL & MI. FACT – FL & MI violated DNC rules. FACT – Votes in FL & MI were not supposed to count. FACT – Both FL & MI had the option to hold new primaries. For various reasons both chose not to. FACT – Obama had enough votes to swing Saturday’s decision his way but chose to compromise. FACT – before Saturday Obama had an insurmountable pledged delegate lead. FACT – after Saturday Obama still has an insurmountable pledged delegate lead. FACT – Democrats have never nominated someone for president who did not have the most delegates at the end of primary season. Close to 40M Democrats have voted during the 2008 primaries and caucuses. That type of power can bring about real change. Why would anyone want to hand that over the McCain and continue the same policies of the last eight years?

It is not as if Obama was the only candidate to pull out of Michigan. Virtually all major candidates did, and I suspect they expected Mrs. Clinton to do the same. I do not dislike her as a person, senator or woman, but as a candidate, she has done little to inspire me.
The party has rules. Obama obeyed them. Hillary is claiming he is unfair for playing by the rules. How does that work for foreign policy? How does a monstrous campaign debt bode for taking on a multi-trillion dollar economy? How does turning on her own party bode for the best interests on the nation?
If she is the dem candidate, I was absolutely vote for her, but at present I am convinced that Mr. Obama is the people’s choice and the best person for the job.

You can’t have it both ways dem38. By your logic there should not have been a compromise on MI & FL and neither state should count. Even if you penalize IA and NH – Obama still wins! My facts are crystal clear. Obama played by the rules and won fair and square. Most states, most pledged delegates, most superdelegate support. I’ll share more interesting FACTs with you. The whole superdelegate system was the brainchild of Harold Ickes, Clinton’s top political strategist. As a member of the DNC Rules and Bylaws committee Ickes also voted to strip MI & FL of their delegates for violating DNC rules back in August 2007. He only reversed his position because Clinton was losing. Obama beat Clinton playing by the rules set up by people on her own team!

Reasonable Hillary supporters will choose to vote for either Obama or McCain because they will honestly exercise their judgment in who will be the better leader for our nation.
Rabid Hillary supporters won’t be an issue in November. They’ll meld into an ever tightening ball of human hatred and bitterness until they spontaneously combust.

Dem38: I was not talking about the popular vote. What I was asking is very clear if you read. If Hillary is the best candidate for president and she is so special to her supporters why could you all not help her close the deal at Super Tuesday???
Why is your candidate now breaking all party rules and going bankrupt (which is how she will run this country by the way)to try to catch up so she can try to steal the nomination? If she is so great more people would have voted for her and she would not be having this issue. The point is the majority of the American People do not want them back in the White House nor any more of the Bush clan.
ALSO, YOU ARE VERY RUDE THERE WAS NO NEED TO CALL SOMEONE A NAME IT JUST SHOWS WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO STOOP TO SUCH LEVELS TO MAKE YOUR POINT.

Again with the name calling. Affirmative Action has nothing to do with more than 17M Americans of all races and economic backgrounds voting their conscience and choosing Obama. Black people are only 12% of the US population and not enough to put anyone in office. You offer nothing to dispute the FACTs I’ve presented. If Clinton is so great why is her campaign $20M in debt? Why aren’t her supporters contributing to her campaign financially? Why has she won less states? Why did she have to change the contest rules in order to lay claim to the popular vote? Why couldn’t she beat Obama when she had the people who wrote the rules on her team? I admire what Clinton has accomplished. She’s made it that much easier for a woman to become president. She was just woefully unprepared to go up against Obama.

It’s statements like this that make you wonder who really is supporting Clinton. Why do you come on here when you can clearly keep your comments to yourself and do what your gonna do anyway. It’s not going to change the outcome of what’s been destined. Say what you want but it’s NOT going to CHANGE. I’ve read alot here and to be honest, people continue to amaze me. The hatred, the lies, the spew. Wanting so bad for a meteor to come down and strike BO so this nightmare would end. It’s not going to happen. What confuses me, however, is that a 5th grader in special ed can see that there’s no hope for HRC in this campaign no matter what she does. If BO is so much the “weaker” candidate, “inexpeirenced” “racist” and so on and so on and so on. THEN WHY IS WINNING THIS CAMPAIGN? And don’t say it’s because of AFIRMATIVE ACTION and he’s controlling the DNC. A few blogs ago, and I don’t remember which one but hell they all seem to be the same, I’ve mentioned to all the HATERS of BO and what the universe would do and what is it doing? It’s giving you what you didn’t want. Pick up the “SECRET” dvd and learn something.

I am for Hillary Clinton all the way and the honorable Senator McCain has also got my absolute respect…and no 20 year old Obama Nut or one of his flaky Boomer Groupies is going to convince me that John McCain is my enemy.
I believe Hillary Clinton would be an excellent President to protect our interests with respect to China, Iran, Iraq and protecting Israel.
Obama is a disaster on all of these same fronts– no experience, zero accomplishments, no morals, his 20 year spiritual leaders are morally bankrupt.
I’m for Hillary or McCain — no Obama nut will make me against either because they’ve shown they are fronting a lying, inexperienced, morally bankrupt character who doesn’t even know what language they speak in Afghanistan or that there are no poppy fields in Bagdhad.
Maybe he’s never caught the news.
He should, his 20 year preachers have been making quite a spectacle there so now we know this untested moron hates our country and citizens too– he wrote about it in his silly books, and he sat in these America hating pews.
Hillary and McCain love this country, both are strong, Hillary’s understanding of the economy and issues regarding security are second to none, McCain has worked across the aisle all his career and is a war hero with a silver star and extraordinarily honorable service to his country. They love America– which is a must in the Presidency.
Obama is a frightening mess and the fact that Dean and his cronies would try to shove someone who does not love this country, and whose 20 year spiritual advisors and wife despise our country with a passion has made the DNC into the joke of all jokes.
Dean had to make 1.15 million votes from two states disappear against Democratic core principles and the charter of the Democratic Party to do it– Moveon.org money and a biased, propagandistic corporate media with no standards (and financial dealings in Iran) are doing the rest….but fighting the media and Obama tooth and nail will be the first priority of this American.
I will not sleep at night if these two anti-American friends of Farrakhan end up anywhere near the largest army in the world.

Posted by: SaveAmericaNow | June 3, 2008, 3:45 am 3:45 am

Hillary shouldn’t quit! She should keep fight for American people.
Media has been treating Hillary very unfairly. I don’t know why?
Democrates have been behaved like 10 year old. Fighting is all they care about. I don’t understand why can’t Obama and Clinton join hands to beat John McCain? That will be a win-win.
Both Obama and Clinton are good candidate for president. Obama’s problem is that he is too young, and does not have experience. Hillary’s problem is She will be too old to wait for another 8 years. So the best solution is to let Hillary be president for 4 years while Obama be vice president. Then Obama will have the experience he needed, he can be US president for another 8 years. To let Clinton couple to fix up economy first may be better for Obama’s presidency anyway.
But only Obama and Dec party can decide now, the ball is out of Clinton’s Court.
Obama will get huge support if he let Clinton go first. The country will have both a woman president and a black president. Otherwise Obama could loose to John McCain, and US will have neither woman nor black president. Because Obama’s “no political experience is needed to be US president” can’t hold water.
US president can’t do what ever he wishes, he or she must play politics to move the country forward. We can’t have a revolution now and the real change we can hope for is through evolution, so US president must have experience. This is why you can’t count Clinton supporters to vote for Obama now. But maybe in four years, they will.

Well where were your comments when Obama promised to give the Crow tribe bacl land they sold to the government. He has been pretty busy making promises he can’t keep to get votes on the Crow Reservation. Fortunately there are some Crow on the reservation trying to make Obama eat his empty promises.
By the way how does one (Obama) become President of the Harvard Law Review and never write a paper. Why didn’t he get offered a clerkship with a judge? The clerkship with a judge speaks volumes about the intelligence and the kind of law student someone is. Obama is full of empty rhetoric and his intelligence is all smoke and mirrors.

Excellent post! I couldn’t agree more….America has to regain her respect, not only from our citizens, but also from other countries in the world. I know Obama says he will bring the troups home very quickly, we all know this will not happen. I just don’t see Obama, with so many questions about him, his wife, and his past becoming the President. John McCain, has been there. He’s been in the publics eye for 20 years. He’s a true American war hero, suffered for 5 years as a POW, and has worked tirelessly to further the cause of America. Without any negatives toward Obama, I think America needs to realize what is at stake here. I just don’t see the experience and tenacity in Obama as President. Therefore, I will cast my vote for John McCain in November.

IRREFUTABLE FACTS and no personal attacks:
1. Hillary won in 17 largely blue states with 297 electoral votes. You need 270 to be come president. Democrats dominate in these states of 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. Obama won in mostly red states with only 199 electoral votes. In those states Republicans vastly out number Democrats 2:1. Even if Obama some how won all these red states and got Republicans to vote for him all he has are 199 electoral votes. Well short 270 needed to be president.
NOTE: I like Obama. He is intelligent and charismatic. But what has he done for Illinois? What practical CHANGE has he brought to make the people of Illinois more financially secure? Is the economy better off in Illinois because of his leadership in the state senate? Get past the hype and look at the real record.

Many woman and men, are able to see the very,very ‘high’ anxiety Clinton has been projecting, (possibly with good reason) thru-out this campaign, and it may be ok for some, but America has many serious issues to ‘deal-with’. Too much anxiety can cause lots of ‘confusion, with disturbances’, building anxiety with issues & with others, that need ‘a calmness’ and focus! If something that may not go the way she wants, in dealing with those of other countries, I’m not so sure they’ll relate to those tears, in the process. THERE’S A TIME FOR EVERYTHING!!… and it takes ‘A-HUMBLE-SPIRIT’, to recognize it’s not ‘All’ about self & winning, even if it costs the outlook on the D-party, +/or, no one to be able to focus and get ready (prepared) for McCain. CLINTON HAS BEEN CARRYING ON SOME ‘extreme’ EMOTIONS, WITHOUT A REAL HANDLE ON THEM, FROM THE CHAOS AND RUCKUS THAT WAS IN HER ‘CAMPAIGN’, TO THE ‘stay in-no-matter what’ ATTITUDE.! As, one has written…”You can carry the battle to the convention and destroy the party, or you can help move the country to a better place. IT’S VERY SELF-ISH OF Hillary TO CONTINUE AND NOT HELP ANOTHER OF SAME PARTY TO HELP the DEMOCRATS TO WIN IN THE LONG RUN. THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF HOW DARKNESS WORKS, (divide and conquer. LIKE A LOOSE CANNON, RUNNING ON AN ‘emotional-win’. MALE or FEMALE, there’s ‘FEARS’ of the unknown, (‘fear & doubt-are our worst enemy’). With the manner this crap’s been going on, Obama ‘needs’ to win, for America’s-sake, TO-BREAK-THE-ICE… that many still can’t see, is America’s downfall. Many people male & females (of all races) have lost interest, by such behavior from one they thought to ‘lead’!…no matter what sex or race! We care about her, she has given her best, BUT,… NO MATTER HOW MUCH ONE KNOWS OR EXPERIENCE OR ACHIEVED, A HUMBLE DEMEANOR, CONSTITUTES A LEADER, OR THE MAKING OF.!!!

Go to the Convention and work to correct their foul undemocratic process. How many Superdelegates have received money or trade-offs for their endoresments. It is no longer a fair process when a candidate is continually pushed to get out before all of the primaries have been held. It is no longer a fair process, when state primaries can be manipulated unfairly and subjectively. The caucuses have never been a fair picture of the majority of voters. The Party is stuck in a quagmire. They are looking for another “savior”.
We are ready for a new Party, and I believe we will get one. That means that the 18 million voters who have been ignored can remedy the landscape. What better way to put some progress and working together in our Senate and House of Representatives? The good ole boys have had all the chances they needed to create stalemates year after year. This is another one of those years.

When I hear them on CNN, they both sicken my stomach…both are liars to the core….however, this seems to be the ongoing theme with Obama supporters!

Posted by: david from texas | June 3, 2008, 11:04 am 11:04 am

It’s over. Over. Over. Over.
I’m sorry the Hillary supporters cannot accept this, but it’s true.
> She is NOT ahead in the popular vote
> She is no longer leading in the polls against McCain
> She does not have the delegates and can’t get them unless some major arm twisting occurs thus dividing the party
> She can’t argue that caususes don’t count
> She can’t argue that her votes are more important than Obama’s (worst argument EVER)
She only has one option left to her now…and that is to fight on and fracture the party so that it loses in Nov. Reason? So that she can run again in 2012 against a Republican.
Between her and her husband there have been so many instances of sorriness and scandal it completely amazes me why she’s even made it this far. Obama has been very optimistic…which harkens back to the good old days of Ronald Reagan. She, on the other hand, will do absolutely anything to win this.
It’s over, though. Time to move on. I’m actually a Republican (never voted for a Democrat in my entire life) who has jumped the fence to support Barack. If you idiots let her in there I’m jumping right back. I’m not alone, by the way. There are a great many of us who believe he may very well be what we need.

Posted by: OVER | June 3, 2008, 11:05 am 11:05 am

One thing Democrats shouldn’t lose sight of. Obama has been running for several weeks against McCain while McCain, Hillary and Bill have been all running against him. He has fought Hillary with kid gloves most of this primary. Its obvious he didn’t want to appear to aggresive toward her and from that she’s benefited tremendously. She has had a cake walk in regards to how Obama himself has ran against her. She is by no means the stronger candidate just a beneficiary of Obama choosing not to tear down a fellow democrat.
I was puzzeled for a long time as to why until I accepted the idea that he really believes he shouldn’t tear his opponents down with negativity, but lift the country up. That in itself is very noble but the price he’s paying for it is huge, because he’s the only one playing the game that way. Even at this late hour his fellow democrats who are Hillary supporters are suggesting he’s the weaker candidate pricesly because he has choosen not to put her and Bill through what they would certainly experience in a horrific way from the Republicans.
I think its shameful for the Clintons to pretend they are not aware of this dynamic and continue to allow or persuade their supporters to be questioning Obamas worthiness of leading the Democratic party to victory.

Just a few minutes ago on the View (June 3), Whoopi Goldberg read aloud AP’s “news story” that Hillary’s team has quit the race and she will concede tonight. Less than 10 mnutes later Whoopi announced a correction: Hillary has not quit, there will be no concession speech tonight! The Hillary Campaign telephoned ABC and fortunately got through! Whoopi issued the retraction to a national audience of millions of viewers.

Posted by: tom | June 3, 2008, 12:17 pm 12:17 pm

The reason Hillary won’t concentrate on uniting the party as she lied and said last week she would do once the DNC made their decision. Is because they have a hidden agenda and it is definitely not for the people of America. They have spilled their lies to the people and a few have bought it. They are the ones here constantly bashing Barack Obama every chance they get all the time not knowing that Hillary & Bill Clinton could care less about them. Everything people are saying is just rehash of what Hillary & Bill have brainwashed them to say. They are all puppets for their puppet masters.

Its so funny to me why people stress Hillary wins in WV and KY. Did people forget Obama won by wider margins in WA, ID and KS. And the win in PR is nothing to the 92% to 8% butt kickin Hillary got in the Virgin Islands.

The announcement that Hillary is quiting was to influence voters. It was to influence outraged double X’ers to go vote Hillary. The Hillary campaign probably leaked the first false story just to pump up their vote.

tj——-yes the dnc jumped the hillary ship when she started playing dirty like karl rove type tactics the democrat party couldnt stand by and let her bring them down to the republican level. she did this to herself.

Everyone knows she is the best to beat McCain, but they can’t take this away from the first AA to get this far…CAN YOU SAY RIOTS (add in the college kids).
I SAY QUIET RIOT IN THE VOTING BOOTH FOR McCAIN IF NOT HILLARY ON TOP OF A TICKET.
Still can’t vote Dem if Obama were to put his arrogance aside and ask Hillary to be VP.

Hillary supporters who feel the media was sexist and you want to send a message that sexism isn’t ok, how is voting against media going to do that? If you feel various channels/programs were sexist, email companies that advertise on their programs and tell them you are going to boycott their products. If advertisers start pulling ad money, the media will get the message.

I have zero respect for any Clinton supporter who would even CONSIDER voting for McCain. I am an Obama supporter and have been since before he entered the race, but I deeply respect Sen. Clinton, and would gladly vote for her if she is the Dem nominee. I’d be disappointed, but I would have the honesty to see that she is VERY, VERY similar on about 99% of Obama’s policy positions, and if I couldn’t have him, Hillary is the closest candidate in terms of core principles. McCain on the other hand is a deal breaker. He is a died in the wool conservative, and would lead the country 180 degrees AWAY from almost all of Clinton’s treasured positions. Any person who TRULY supports Clinton and believes in the things she believes in should be HORRIFIED at the prospect of a McCain presidency. I guarantee you Hillary and Bill are, and if they don’t manage to win the nomination, I promise they will actively campaign to seat a Democrat in the White House. You have problems with Obama? Okay. But for any REAL criticism you have of him, I promise you, McCain is worse. After 8 Bush years, are you REALLY prepared to vote GOP? SHAME. Threatening to vote for McCain if your first choice isn’t nominated is the worst kind of sour grapes, and sounds like the old school yard whine, “if I can’t have my way, I’m taking my ball and going home!”

Barrack Obama will secure his party’s nomination for President tonight and he will go on to win the general election too. But he’ll have a much easier time doing it with Hillary Clinton’s support, so I do not think she should just go away. She must now work to undo the negative seeds of doubt she has planted during the primary.
Americans say that they think we’re on the wrong path, both with respect to the War on Terror and to the economy. They want change. Notwithstanding, John McCain has committed to supporting the Bush tax cuts, although he opposed them as a Senator, and says he will keep our military in Iraq for “as long as it takes.” Taken together, these are two of the biggest reasons for our current economic woe. We must borrow from China to pay for the war so that the rich can get richer. So, whatever other changes McCain might bring to the White House, if he were to be elected, won’t matter a diddling. More American jobs will be outsourced to China and Mexico, chief executives of mega-sized, international corporations will continue to make obscene salaries, and gas, along with everything else, will get more expensive.
As Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.”

Mariann: Please try to think. Why would AP start a rumor? If a AP reporter sells stories without sources, they will be fired. A story like this just isn’t a big enough deal to make up. The reporter got the information from somewhere. While I applaud your effort to make up a story on Clinton’s behalf, we should probably wait and see what Clinton says. I’m not sure, but I think it is too late for someone to sign up as an independent.

Posted by: X marks the spot | June 3, 2008, 3:12 pm 3:12 pm

In my humble opinion, an Obama/Clinton ticket negates everything that made me to vote for Obama in the primaries. I don’t understand why the media is forcing this woman on Obama’s ticket. He will win without her. There is a good chance he would lose with her, because she would still energize the Republicans. The Republicans will run against her and would not even mention Obama in their retoric. Watch and see.

Re: OhWell: Where have you been. We have enough rotten democrats in Congress including house speaker Nancy Pelosi who should go back to Italy and forget her way back. I have been a democrat all my life but am now an independent. I live in Chicago but will never vote for a democratic governor. I will not vote for Obama because I believe he is not the best choice to lead this country. Maybe Kenya. He doesn’t have the experience of Hillary and McCain or the knowledge of foreign policy. He has made stupid statements recently because he lacks capabilities. Wanting to sit down and talk to Hamas or the leader of Iran. That leader is ten times smarter than Obama ever will be and can teach him the tricks of the trade. Even Bin Laden must be laughing and dancing in the street getting ready to make his next move. The all are aware of Obama and know all about him.

Posted by: Mariann Pepitone | June 3, 2008, 3:20 pm 3:20 pm

I am changing to be an Independent. No more Screamer Dean, Nancy Pelosi or Reid. What the Democratic party has done to Hillary Clinton is not to be ignored. I will never vote for Obama, the hidden Arab and his 20 years in a hateful church full of hateful members.
The best candidate is Hillary Clinton. Not Obama. Once again this party is shooting themselves in the foot. And the Super Delegates should not be choosing a candidate based on no information about him now. That is done at the convention.
We need an Independent Party headed by Hillary Clinton and I pray that is what she does if the Super Delegates and Democratic party leadership does this to her. The Democratic party has been dead for years. People want a choice.
And the media. The Democratic leadership has done nothing while she was and is being reviled. No more Democratic party for me.

Hillary is still the one who can win in November – she wons the big and swings states with winning electoral college votes.
Way to go President Hillary!!!!

NEITHER BO or HRC currently has or will have enough primary pledged delegate votes to claim victory as the democratic presidential candidate (even if the ~30 votes given to BO contrary to DNC rules are included) by end of day. The efforts of the DNC, super delegates and media to push HRC out of the contest prematurely is self-serving, and contrary to the rules of the DNC. As neither candidate has enough pledged delegate votes to claim victory, the decision goes to the super delegates (“SDs”), who will not be able to cast their votes until the convention; the pledge of their votes in advance before all events have been played out, attempts to prejudice the results. The SDs are supposed to take into account a myriad of factors to determine which candidate is most electable in the GE. This does indeed include consideration of the popular vote, which will determine who actually wins in the Nov. general election. HRC will likely carry that vote including in the important swing states, among Latinos, working class, etc. She has a solid argument about her electability in support of her continued bid for the presidential nomination. The decision of the SDs will be no easy task as suggested by the BO camp who would like to pack up everything and get to the GE. An example one blogger pointed to is apt here: should Ed Kennedy and Patrick Kennedy cast their super-delegate votes for BO who they backed, or for HRC who their states (Mass & RI) elected by overwhelming popular vote with the majority of their pledged DELEGATES going to HRC. The SD’s should be held accountable for their votes.

While Clinton’s vision for the country is great, it’s all designed to glorify her and her husband. Although many democrats admire and love her, I just don’t trust her and more than half of the country don’t trust her either.
We lost both houses of congress because of her. The republicans wrote their covenant with America in 1994 attacking her handling of heathcare which she conducted in a self agrandizing way, elianating officials of her own party. She’s too selfish to be a good leader.

Posted by: Gillis | June 3, 2008, 3:33 pm 3:33 pm

“When we have a nominee” is Clinton code for after the Convention. In August. Unless somebody makes her an offer she cannot refuse. She stands to get her bills paid, get a VP role, get a Cabinet role. Her speech will help us sort this out a bit. And her behaviors after she gets a little rest at home. And sorts through the quid pro quos she can wring out the Obama campaign. Not real leaderly but pragmatic.

Posted by: Gaias Child | June 3, 2008, 3:41 pm 3:41 pm

Wow will the Oboma media finally get rid of Hillary tonight? I mean after 5 months of pressing her to leave they just may be successful this time. I wonder why the press didn’t press Huckberry to leave when he was behind by a huge margin…hmm interesting. Well Obama prepare for hell. I’ll be at home…not voting for Mr. Hype Obama..

Posted by: hill4prez | June 3, 2008, 3:42 pm 3:42 pm

I think she should stay in the race until the convention. It is quite possible that further stories about the Obama’s will surface before then and she may look a lot more electable when the nominee is chosen. If she bows out now it will be a lot harder to get back in later.

Don’t you just love all these people who know so much about politics. Nobody should listen to the media to get their information or to be educated on the political scene. All the media is is speculation. They assume Bill Clinton has a problem because of his heart surgery. He called a reporter sleezy scumbag and he is. There was no reason for anyone to write an article on hearsay especially now. Everytime Hillary has a good day it seems the media just can’t stand it so they come up with something to destroy it. They’ve made fun of her laugh but have you heard Meka Bryzenski on MSNBC. Why would Hillary even consider supporting the Democratic party. There is nothing united about that party including the way they handle their elections. It is so stupid the way it is done. I guess that’s some of those people with college degrees that set it up. I hope Dean, Pelosi and Reid step down after this. They are a mockery to our society. Go independent Hillary or we will vote for John McCain.

Jock59801 – I really don’t think he can win those states. Remember they are those dumb redneck uneducated hillbillies and I’m one of them. We do have remember longer than 6 months. I am smart enough to know a fake when I see one. DUH!

Posted by: C Good | June 3, 2008, 8:10 pm 8:10 pm

The decisions of the DNC on Saturday, particularly on Michigan, were not undemocratic. I heard someone say tonight that Jim Crow has finally been put to bed, but the decisions of the DNC were Jim Crow politics.
I’ve alluded to this before but the DNC actions on Saturday called up Woody Allen’s, Bananas. The freedom fighter revolutionary finally unseats the junta and makes a speech in which he announces: “All children under the age of 12 years old are now…12 years old.” [The age may have been different]
If this fabricating and “interpreting” of votes is where the reforms of party politics has brought us it’s time for new reforms. Votes CANNOT be fabricated, for any reason, whether you think it’s a compelling reason or not. (Jim Crow thought he had one as well.)
Obama has not won the nomination, he was awarded the nomination in a way much too similar to the way Bush was awarded the presidency in 2000. If he eventually wins, so be it, but he needs at least 2177 delegates to assume victory before the convention. And that delegate count shouldn’t be based on superdelegates “deciding” based on the travesty the DNC wrought this past weekend, or the announcements of victory for Obama that are also based on that travesty.
I really don’t care who you support, but you have to look within yourself and realize the awful precedent the DNC has set. Votes can be interpreted and fabricated based on whim, prejudice, supposition, or “ideals.” This is much much bigger than this nominating process alone; the very essence of democracy is at stake.
For that reason more than any other, Hillary can not concede.

Posted by: Michael | June 3, 2008, 10:59 pm 10:59 pm

Hillary is holdling out & will not concede until Obama offers her the VP spot. Look for her to sabotage Obama 1st chance she gets, so that she can set herself up for another shot in 4 years.
