How Obama Won and Clinton Lost

SHE WAS TO SELF CENTERED ALL FOR HERSELF AND TO HECK WITH THE REAS OF YOU,NOW SHE WANT VEE P NO way THE ARE ALREADY USING HER WORDS TO SMEAR HIM THANKS HILLY YOU WITCH

what a load of crap – this guys opinion stinks – and whatelse – he played for both teams (repub and demo)
go figure some loser would write this garbage

The country wanted a Mom, and Hillary gave them a Dad… and a wacky uncle-by-marriage that your family tells you to not give beer to or be caught alone with.

This writer left out a main point in her campaign.
Today most people want to tell you how the other is wrong instead of just stating what she is for or against. She answered questions beating around the bush and telling us how Obama messed up. If she cannot even answer a debate question what makes you think she can answer something specifically in the White House? Then again she will blame it on someone else.

“But in the end, this race was in Hillary Clinton’s hands and it is a race she should have won, no matter her opponent”.
Yes it was a race that she was odds on to win…but her opponenet in this was such a big issue…she would have beaten Gore, Kerry, Edwards and the like. She was just tremendously unfortunate to come up against a once in a generation sensation like Barack Obama.

Good summation Matthew. Pretty much covers it.

I did love your equating Obama with the ipod and HRC with the Walkman. That was funny. And am I, the Apple lover for many, many years about to go in a different direction.
I found your reasoning interesting (do you even read these remarks?) but disagree when you say gender didn’t have much to do with the loss. First, I think it had quite a bit to do with it, but — and in a sense you’re right — it had MORE to do with the media’s overwhelming fawning over Obama and giving him a pass instead of a critical eye. I think that had that happened much sooner in the race than it did (after Obama already had a significant lead), then HRC would have won. She almost did — and instead, the infatuation of the media, as well as voters, of the new hip young thing, pushed the race ino the other direction.
But the love affair won’t last. Obama has significant weaknesses and I think he will ultimately fail come November. I think of even my family, several of whom have said they’ll vote for McCain in the fall. Unlike me, they’re not bitter (I, on the other hand, AM bitter); they’re matter of fact. Obama simply doesn’t have experience, they sayd. McCain is a moderate and he’ll be fine for them.
(And my two voting age children are Obama all teh way.)

Ed S, Lexington KY – Obama did not vote because he was not even a Senator…he would have sat on the fence like he has in the past with all major issues until the smoke clears then pick a side maybe..he has bad judgement and no experience but plenty of experience in Chicago politics and manipulating people..

waaaaa waaaaa waaaaaa…….
hillary wanted to burn down waco again

This article is wrong on so many points! The reason that Hillary lost was because the Dem Party leaders chose Obama from the very beginning! They cannot possibly accept Hillary. The only reason that Obama is ahead in pledged delegates is because his gains in caucuses, which are dominated by the party operatives and they are on the line with the party leaders. If you only look at the pledged delegates by primaries, Hillary won more delegates, no question, and she won the popular vote. At the end, it was again the DNC gave the nomination to Obama, including giving some of the delegates Hillary actually won in MI. So much victory by Obama and his message. Obama did not win, the DNC handed the nomination to him! And Obama has no substance in his so-called message, and he is not honest with the American people. I have always voted for dem in presidential election. This year I will vote for McCain!

You couldn’t be more wrong Ed. Obama made a speech denouncing the war before the idiotic Senate gave Bush the OK. He didn’t have to make that speech – and he took a major political risk because the country’s war approval rate was over 80% at the time. So drop your “sit on the fence” nonsense and come back to the real world.

Oops, mean dell, not Ed.

And what happens if the cool uniter and “mom figure” Obama can’t even mesmerize and unite the Democratic Party itself?

I agree somewhat. However, I expected more from Hillary in terms of her decision-making. She’s had to retract her decisions/beliefs on critical issues: 1) the Iraq War, 2)NAFTA. While her idea for Universal Healthcare sounds good to the hearing ear, if you listen to and read the plan, it will be detrimental to the average American who can’t afford another drop of mandatory paycuts. Her plan will force people to pay for health insurance, such as most states where individuals are forced to pay for car insurance. Most people will take their chances with the law until they are caught. They simply can’t afford it. –These observation are in a nutshell. I will not get into how Hillary behaved towards Obama during the primaries.

Ed S, you are correct, the biggest factor by far is the Iraq occupation.
But you didn’t expect a wingnut like Matthew Dowd to admit that did you?
Hey Dowd, if you’re currently a lobbyist, John ‘Lil’ Bush’ McCain is hiring.

To All Obama Supporters: You go ahead keep being mean;guess what, Obama WILL lose in Nov. because a big portion of Hillary’s supporters, including my whole family, will vote for McCain in Nov.!

Oh, “Jake,” your post isn’t any more creative than your choice of screen name! You and s.b. repeating tired old lines of Obama and DNC stealing the election from Hillabeans!!!
She stole it from herself!!! No one else to blame! It was hers to lose, ad by golly, she up and lost it!!!
Obama 2008 — Yes, WE CAN!!!

She lost because people did not want anymore Clintons in the Whitehouse. Very simple.

It’s easy just ” Hope” you will get elected.

Obama can get all the delegates and super ones too. Not my vote though.
I bet all the conspirators will eliminate write in candidates to prevent Hillary from the ballot.

“jack51″: I was stating the facts, just look at the numbers. What are your facts? The DNC just proved that Dem Party is no better than the Republican Party, which at least has a nominee who is an honorable man. Obama is simply not qualied to be our president. We do not vote according to party’s, we vote placing the country’s interest above anything else. The Dem Party just proved it is NOT democratic. For instance, why the superdeleagtes would not let the voting finish today before endorsing Obama? See, they have no respect for democracy – the voters decide the election! McCain is not Bush, and McCain 08!

C’MON GIRLS! WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT! WE’LL TAKE OUR FIGHT ALL THE WAY TO DENVER! HILLARY MUST BE THE NOMINEE OR WE WILL VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN! WHO CARES IF HE DON’T KNOW A SHIITE FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND! Oh, wait…I’m a guy for OBAMA…NEVERMIND!

Biggest mistake was personnel. If she had enticed James Carvelle to run her campaign it would have been no contest. 2 reasons: 1) He is a very astute and seasoned veteran of these affairs 2) Everyone gives way to his over-the-top nature and he could have gotten away with saying particular things that the organization needed to say without taking the heat like perhaps G. Ferraro

But in the end, this race was in HC’s hands and it is a race she should have won, no matter her opponent.
And dealing with a loss where you didn’t have to lose, nut for your won actions, is heartwrenching.
I do feel for the process she must be going through and will go through.
Peace to her.
Thanks Mr Dowd.
This time you are right.
17 millions people will feel the same.

Better brace for another 4 years of rotten Republican WH.
Lesser of the two evils!

The democratic nominating process is flawed. Hopefully, if enough democrats leave the party as a result of what happened, they will have to change, particularly after they lose the general.

I heard the Republican are all ready for Obama in October. They have on film Michelle Obama speaking at Trinity calling us whites names and holding us responsible for all the ills of the world. Obama has no chance for my Democratic vote. Can’t wait to see Michelle the racist.

In response to ron’s post: I guess we are back to 1968 instead of 2008. What a shame for America..

“Oh, “Jake,” your post isn’t any more creative than your choice of screen name! You and s.b. repeating tired old lines of Obama and DNC stealing the election from Hillabeans!!!

Good one. A shining example of the pettiness and hate exuded by obama supporters and a prime reason why hillary supporters won’t easily be swayed and bamboozled into voting for the most divisive and inexperienced GE candidate ever. Sorry dems. You kinda’ got suckered into the whole thing. How could middle of the road America ever throw the whole thing under the bus and vote for obama? That’s right, they won’t.

Hillary was and still remains the best qualified person to be president. Now, whether we end up with Obama or McCain, we have disaster. Either four more years of Bush, or four years of a novice with no idea how to fix this nation’s problems. Funny how the “uneducated” voters understood that Hillary was the right answer and those who are “educated” are so out of touch with the lives of real Americans, not to mention the problems. It’s like the bosses whose secretaries do all the work and they take credit for it. It’s a sad day in America and I’m both appauled and ashamed of the media for its role in fawning over Obama while taking great delight in tearing down Clinton. Mark this day in the history books when the best days of America have certainly passed us by. Welcome to Great Depression #2. Fools vote with a mob mentality.

Oh, Hillary also lost because the rules committee penalized FL and MI and then Obama was able to stall the resolution until last week. She lost momentum and he gained it until Rev. Wright came about. Then the trend was going against him as all the last races, even the ones he won weren’t by the big margins they once were. He is a hardball, ambitious politician, but he doesn’t deserve to be President.

Susan,
I agree.
Money issue is the most important in this campaign also.
If he did not have that much money to spend he would be long gone.
He spent money just like water, one pundit said it.
Fortunately, he has those big donors.

Bob Beckel, Democratic analyst for Fox News, reported on TV already that a “bombshell” is coming out tomorrow
VIDEO BELOW. Here are written reports to date (and I will ADD MORE as they come in) — and I am adding the DEVASTATING electoral college projections up at HillBuzz that further underscore Obama’s unelectability. Obama is toast.

Thanks to the MSM, Obama did not get vetted until well after Super Tuesday; although, I think more skeletons will be coming out of his closet between now and the GE. If the voting population knew about his questionable associations prior to Super Tuesday, the outcome of this nomination process would likely be different. In addition to having Obama shoved down our throats by the MSM, the DNC and Super Ds have shown remarkable favoritism toward Senator Obama; to the point of overruling the will of the people. The process for nominating the Democratic candidate has been anything but democratic.
As it is now, the majority of the blue-collar working-class voters, Independents, and Reagan Republicans that voted for Hillary, will now vote for McCain in the GE.
McCain ’08

Hillary should not meet with Obama. Should not endure any more insult from this man!
Right after Kennedy’s endorsement of him, Obama refused to shake hands with Hillary. Now what would he do with such “victory”?
As his supporters yelled at Hillary on the web many times:”Get out of the way, Hillary!” Or he would say:”Drop dead, Hillary!”

Susan- much the same can be said about Hillary Clinton. I live in Florida, and your assumptions are grossly negligent and off course.
Appealing to poor with fake gas relief, appealing to racist, and dodging sniper fire are what made Obama win.
Nothing less.
Half this country is ready to get over the old disgusting taboos in the closet. I am one of them. I would have voted for either Democrat to save my son from a draft and a woman’s right to choose.
NOTHING was stolen from Clinton, NOTHING. If the shoe were reversed months ago, the Clinton name alone would have ended this primary.
I congratulate Obama-
NO MCCAIN- EVER.

its funny to see how many people on here are crazed…
i think some of them are true hillary supporters who are upset
but i think most are repubs hoping this wouldnt happen that the dems would ever start to come together
mccain better start running

This is really the land of opportunity and equality. We had a white incompetent in the White House for 8 years, now it seems like a black incompetent is going to substitute him.

OH! GOD HELP US!
AFTER ENDURING EIGHT YEARS OF COCKINESS AND ARROGANT SMIRD IN THE WHITE HOUSE, NOW WE HAVE TO ENDURE THE SAME THING IN THE DAYS TO COME?
WILL NEVER WATCH TV AGAIN!

Oh, Hillary did not lose; she won the popular vote and won the pledged delegates from all primaries. She had no chance of winning despite of all these because the Dem Party leaders did not want her. She could have never gotten the nomination because of the party leaders. Remember, even before Feb 5, Obama supporters started calling her to quit for the party unity. As soon as Obama had the lead in Feb., they were all over Hillary trying to push her out. They claimed so early and so many times that Obama was the nominee, which slowed down the fund raise for Hillary and discouraged people to continue to vote. See, it is all planned out by the party leaders and Obama campaign. Hillary never had the chance to win. It was the voters who really kept the whole process going, and gave Hillary the popular vote victory. The voters cannot control the party “rules” which were set to help Obama from the very beginning, but the voters can give Hillary the raw vote. Hillary is truly the people’s choice despite all!

I hope Hillary would be McCain’s VP.
That’s perfect!
I was a democrat and I will campaign for McCain .
If Obama can get voters with only “HOPE”, I believe McCain can make a change also if he listens to us.
All we need is to try to talk to McCain and support him.

Well said Mr. Dowd.

I always thought Mark Penn was working against Hillary for Obama!
he is the reason hillary lost so close!

To; s.b…How do those sour grapes taste?

I have a son 16 years old!
I do not mind him to go to Iraq if he wishes to go!
I would have votedd for hillary but will never vote for Obama!
I’d rather being in Iraq 4 more years than living in a communist coutry under Obama admin!
Go McCain

I enjoyed your article. If Obama is as smart as I think he is, he will not choose Clinton as a running mate.

Jake at 7:36 is dead on. This was determined from early on…she didn’t stand a chance…they wanted the black guy, who hadn’t been vetted yet. Too bad…the more we know, the more I smell the stink…and NO VP on the ticket will get this guy near the WH.
I do miss Michelle, Wright, Farrakhan, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and all the others who got the memo to lay low, stay underground until they clinch it, which will me momentarily.
Hope the freakshow comes back in the next couple of months. How long can people sit on these fools?

People ,please pay attention on every blog starting today.
You already seen so many Obama supporters calling him as the first US black president .
Which I assume they only want to make a history.
I doubt it if they care about economy etc in this country.

I was quite amused after reading the responses to this article. First, I am surprised that a full 75% of the responses have shockingly poor grammar and an even worse grasp of the English language. Of course, the majority of these are backers of Obama – the hip, young, seemingly uneducated new generation of voters. What has this country come to?
I was divided between Clinton and McCain before. Now, Hussein Obama has made the choice quite clear for me.

i live in the northeast and i cant find anyone who will admit they support her. there are plenty of obama people of all demographics here, and a lot of mccain people also. many of the hispanics i know voted for obama. so you have to convince me that she had it in the bag. i think people underestimate how toxic the clinton name still is to many people. her flip flops didnt help either. and lets face it, obama represents the new america i belong to… its not mom or dads turn, its our turn. lets see where it all goes.

Dan, Amy, Janet….I just donated $20.44 to John McCain too. Let’s get the word out on every posting board we can….let the fundraising numbers for McCain this week be the best ever!
God, what a great message to send the press!

Sad that the supposed “millions” of Hillary supporters who are now voting McCain are going to get beat twice in the same election.
Even sadder they’re motivated by hate and anger. Such a waste of energy.

If you have all the answers; then, why didn’t you run for the presidency yourself.

Obama clearly won due to better campaign strategy. Simple as that. Obama did not win by a landslide nor does he have a mandate. He hasn’t carried or won the majority of his own party rather this is a party split right down the middle. So I don’t think the Democrats are in a position to be too overly confident about the general election. Certainly the economy and Iraq favor the Democrats but they have one pesky problem and that’s McCain. The GOP nominated probably the only candidate who could possibly win the White House in the current political environment. The Democrats should be way ahead of him in the polls and yet it’s been a virtual tie or he’s been slightly ahead. The Dems have nominated the candidate that does poorer when matched with McCain then Clinton does.
These next couple weeks the Dems will have the momentum and we should see a jump in the polls for the dems, if not there’s big trouble ahead.

If Barack was a white man a lot of u Hillary supporters would have accepted her defeat. Ur all upset not because a “man” won, but because it was a “black” man. Harriett Christian said it all at the meetn on Saturday. Let’s all come together for the country. Ur voices where heard, but ours was too. Hillary Clinton was not the only 1 on the ballot.

“And will everyone once and for all QUIT acting like McCain and Clinton don’t have an ARMY of skeletons in the graveyards…?
This whole Obama “skeleton” issue is stupid.
OOOhhhhh, if he has 4 dead skeletons, that somehow negates the fact that both the others could fill an entire graveyard.
Good luck with that argument.”
Posted by: Sally | Jun 3, 2008 7:35:23 PM
Luck has nothing to do with it! Obama and his associates are perfecting the art of vetting his candidacy on their own. How many speed bumps are under the bus now? So….good luck with keeping the skeletons in the closet and off the Republican radar! Yep–good luck!
McCain ’08

It does not matter who the President is.
We must and will attack Iran and Syria. We will use Iraq as a base for the next 20 or so years. We must wipe out these Islamic fanatics. The war will go no matter who is in the White House.

I’m sure as soon as Hillary concedes, her supporters will start back up McCain, campaign and donate money for his campaign.
My friend is a very loyal Democrat but a few days ago I was surprised when he said he would vote for McCain if Hillary lost.He was not happy with DNC.
I started to think something is really wrong with this election.

Th DNC ‘machine’ was not the hand on the ballot in the booth or in the caucuses. It was each and every voter. HRC supporters who are bashing the caucus States are not doing themselves any favors.
As a 67 year old White LOL, I would have liked a female President, but not solely because of gender. I was not ever a supporter of HRC because I could not find the experience and credentials on her very own two feet without the Clinton name recognition and the cooperative spirit.
Much older late 60′s women who have had to work know we made it with dignity and perseverance as feminists and ladies. We took courses and/or classes whenever possible to move ahead with steely determination which is far different from aggression. Our options were pretty limited to nurse, secretary or teacher if we had a certificate. But, I do think that Obama and Clinton need to heal wounds but playing hardball is not going to cut it with me.
Personally I think that Secy of Labor would be a perfect a cabinet position for HRC. Something definitely needs to be done about our labor situation in this Country! She would then be in a perfect position to review all those agreements wih her legal training and start revising them where necessary, creating new jobs, and be meeting overseas partners. More auto jobs just recently went to Mexico – Ford, I think, but please feel free to correct me on that one.
Also, on super delegates. It is my understanding that HRC already had about 100 of them even before this season began. They did not know then which way voters would go, but assumed. So, the arguments by those who insist that SD’s must endores the way of their voters is dead in the water from the get go since there was no denouncing or rejecting or whatever of endorsements before voting began.

Obama and his henchmen will never win. I just donated $40.00 to McCain.
A former Democrat, now Independent that will pull the lever for John McCain in the fall and will actively campaign for him. You people are smokin crack if you think the Democractic party can unify after what the DNC and party so-called leaders did to Hillary. They were to wimpy to stand up for the stronger candidate!

I won’t vote for Mccain.
Oh, the experience issue is going to be BS for me. not completely, but mostly.
We did have an “experienced” person in the office.
Look wtf happened.
And there is No way that Clinton will be thinking of being VP for Mccain. Smart move if she didn’t. If Bush is pushing for Mccain, I’m going the other way.

Oh Please. People like Jake, give it up. Do you really believe the conspiracy theories? Or that Obama won because of all his “large donors”. (1) It was Clinton that had all the large donors and unfortunately she tapped them out too early; Obama had many small donors that kept his campaign alive. (2) The DNC rules were the same rules that President Clinton won with. The reason that Senator Clinton didn’t win was that she thought she’d run away with it and didn’t organize enough to win primaries and smaller sates. (3) Senator Clinton only won the popular vote if you count states like Flordia and Michigan which, no matter who much you want to argue, were invalid primaries according to the DNC. All candidates knew that they didn’t count. If it was anyone but Clinton, then they still wouldn’t have counted but she had enough sway within the DNC to bear pressure on the DNC to allow the two states to come to the convention, albeit at a reduced count. (4) All of Obama voters are not young college students or “out of touch” with reality. I have bills just like everyone else and try to figure out how to pay them. A savings account — that is laughable; hopefully I’ll have one when the kids are all at of the house. (5) You count all the votes for Senator Clinton but forget to also admit that a large segment of the country (it is about 50%/50%) support Senator Obama — did you forget about the other part of the country? (6) Somehow if we don’t agree with Clinton supporters we are being mean and sexist. Can’t figure that one out!

The Dems have nominated the candidate that does poorer when matched with McCain then Clinton does.
——————
Actually polls from this week indicate Obama is running better against McCain nationally.
McCain 47% Hillary 43%
McCain 46% Obama 46%
Your reading old polls. And it shows they mean nothing this far out from the GE.
However, I thought the rest of your blog was pretty much right on target. However, this McCain is not the McCain of 8 tears ago. Mr Maverick has become Mr GOP Suckup. He has flopped on at least a dozen policy positions.
Once the media actually starts paying attention to McCain, we’ll see his numbers drop. He’s had a free ride so far.

I am a black man who voted for a white woman not because she had bill but because she proved she can do the job. Now my second vote ever for President will go to John McCain. What people forget is that we repeating ourselves. We elected Bush…..a man with hardly no foreign policy experience. Yet he in 2000 would have more experience then. I’m sorry but I am up for voting Jimmy Carter 2!

If you really want to shake things up and make a difference………forget John McCain……he is just a puppet…..Republican/Democrat/they are all POLITICIANS…..pure and simple…….VOTE for Dr. Ron Paul………….and instead of laughing..go to RONPAUL.com and educate yourselves.
WAKE UP American………..!!! before it’s too late.

I have never read so much hatred and bitterness in my life as I have read in these posts. Clinton LOST and Obama WON. Keep it simple because simplicity is the key to life. For those who are so upset that they will stay at home or not vote for Obama…GROW UP! How have you allowed so much negativity in your soul. No wonder Obama is winning…Everyone is sick of all the rhetoric and negativity of some of the other candidates and clearly that has rubbed off on some of you. Some of the best leaders that this world has ever known had little or no experience. God is over all and is largely in charge… Remember, the countries motto…In God we trust? Not Obama, Clinton, or any others. We’ll do just fine with any of these candidates in office. We always pull through…We are the “United” States of America. Even with the current blunders we have faced with the current administration, we’ll make a comeback. We always have…

wow! typical white american excuses!so many of you are making excuses for hrc and not really giving the winner his props.most of you sound very stupid when you talk about voting for a 70 yr old president who wants to fight for 100 years.have you not gone to the gas pump lately?this is the fickle nation that america has become.we are putting our personal feelings in front of whats best for the country.punishing obama for hrc mistakes.sad!! since when did a black man become the preferred choice of mainstream govt?when did this transformation take place?hrc is nothing more than gwb.arrogant and selfish.everthing is about them and no one else.hrc don’t care about nothing and nobody but women and power.grow up democrats.this is why the republicans have a mental edge on us every election.we are just to emotional and irratonal.TYPICAL WHITE AMERICA-EXCUSES ALL THE TIME!!

“Hillary ’12″ ??
Four years from now it will be “Hillary who?”
Hillary showed me she couldn’t handle things: Her campaign for the presumptive nomination; Bill’s temper; her voting record; recollections of actual events and more!
Hillary who?

If Barack was a white man a lot of u Hillary supporters would have accepted her defeat. Ur all upset not because a “man” won, but because it was a “black” man. Harriett Christian said it all at the meetn on Saturday. Let’s all come together for the country. Ur voices where heard, but ours was too. Hillary Clinton was not the only 1 on the ballot.
SERIOUSLY? I love when someone does not support your candidate that it’s the race game. It about experience and competency, and someone who knows the inside and out of policy and how to turn this economy around. It has nothing to do with race. It has to do with a bunch of college students who don’t pay attention to real world problems getting on the bandwagon for a rock star. Duh. America has become such an E! society that it no longer actually researches anything, just buys the 30 second soundbytes and the hoopla instead of substance. Purely pathetic.

Stolen! That’s how!
That’s now 3 times in the last 3 elections I have had my candidate robbed of the whitehouse!
When will it end!?!
I vow to return the favor this year and vote against Obama in November! And no, I don’t care if that puts McCain the Moderate in the whitehouse!

You know I am really surprised at you so called democrats. I can’t understand why you would be so discriminatory and hostile toward a man who wants to turn this WORLD around? It is sickening!!!! The only problem you have with Obama is that he is a black man, had he been white, this would have been over a LONG time ago. You are afraid that what has happened in the past will come back to bite you, and bite you hard! You shouldn’t be though…. In a time where people are out of work, starving, can’t afford gas, daycare, housing, and are basically impoverished, pettiness can’t be pushed aside to better this world for you and the ones to come after you. ABSOLUTELY astonishing. My husband just came back from Iraq, thank GOD, and just because he’s home doesn’t mean that he is okay. I have to deal with his depression, flashbacks, everything. I am more than sure if one of your loved ones where there you would want someone who could talked to the Iraqis and protect OUR men and women. All this ignorance and fear of something different is absolutley insane especially with all the mess that is going on here in America and ALL over the world. If you so called democrats want to vote for Little Bush you go ahead, but it’s not going to make a difference. “What God has for you it is for you”, REMEMBER THAT!!!!
OBAMA ’08- NOW WE CAN!!!

Obama is a product of media hype. These people who raised him to his pedestal today will be the first one to trounce him once he is in Office. “Hats-off” to Hillary Clinton who did a “herculean task” to counter the media maneuver but fail. After all is said and done, come November, Let’s see if Clinton Democrats will vote for him. This will be fun!

HILLARY 2012
http://www.johnmccain.com

Adam…what’s going on? Can’t make sentences work and have to get ugly?

The Dem primary was close and historic, a black person and a female. The world will take notice and America can be proud. The Republicans have let down the country and brought misery to a majority of Americans leaving behind a terrible mess for the Dems to clean up. It’s going to be nasty. McCain is a shadow of Bush and a continuation of the same failed policies of Iraq and the economy. An anonymous Dem would have been able to beat Mccain. All Hillary backers should realize that in a race someone wins and someone loses. Hillary tried to bend the rules whenever it suited her. I feel sorry for her especially the dogged manner in which she continued her struggle for survival. And after denouncing Obama on several occasions now she wants to his Veep! Good luck. Nothing wrong being a good senator. And if you want to vote for mccain because Hillary did not get the nomination go right ahead what will you prove? You lose twice.

Proudelibrul:I would remind you that obama gave that one speech when his opinion had very little actual consequences.Since he has become a senator where his opinion actually matters where has he been.Constantly voting against timetables for removal of troops.Voting for funding the war.When John Murtha gave his speech calling for an immediate pullout of American troops obama asked his opinion by the chicago Tribune his response”I’m not a military man.I’m not running the war.”When sen.Kerrry and feingold pushed for a bill to set a timetable for the removal of troops from Iraq he voted no.It is only since he started running for president that he has found his renewed opposition to the war.

BOB Z…..GREAT POST!

Well, I’m just relieved that the Clintons will not be back in white house anytime soon. I hope Obama is not even thinking of asking her to be VP. I don’t trust their characters.

The reason why Obama is winning is because the DNC bigwigs i.e. Kerry,Kennedy,Carter etc will be the puppetmasters who will control Obama. These bigwigs cannot control Hillary because they know she won’t back down. Barack H. Obama is their “boy” Wake up Democrats!

Also –Hillary turned off a lot of people like me by running a very negative campaign –getting on every political bandwagon –and saying and doing anything just to get votes –she lost all credibility and respect and now she wants the vp spot ???

HILARY LOST BECAUSE SHE IS A MONSTER!!!
AMERICAN PEOPLE DONT WANT MONSTERS AROUND!!!

We are doomed.

amber
You are overlooking one little detail about Hillary supporters.
We are NOT ignorant to fall for your fear mongering!
The Obamanation has been spamming up the internet trying to claim how those two are the same. HA! Ever seen McCain? He is a, better sit down hon, a MODERATE! A maverick! As he is known within his party.
The cons are so ticked that they vow not to vote for him. He’s too LIBERAL!
Another little tip. Before you start these scare tactics, make sure you do it before Lieberman endorses him. Not after. It doesn’t help your cause!

If you are reading this, Senator Obama…..Please DO NOT pick HER as your VP!!!!

To Matthew…I think you’ve hit the nail right on the head in your short list. Added to the rest is, at least, one important factor; Hillary underestimated Barack Obama’s strengths, albeit a novice in the major arena. I believe that little consideration was given to the fact that this is also the first black man running for the office. No matter what the Clinton’s political strengths were in the black community am I incorrect in extrapolating that the community would much rather see a member of the same ethnicity take the reins in this election of firsts? The campaign presumed and assumed too much in these areas, I think!

Stop whinning! She lost b/c she overestimated herself & underestimated Obama. He suprisingly ran an excellent campaign and simply out strategized her.
He followed the DNC rules including not counting FL & MI. She agreed not to count FL & MI when she was far ahead & thought she would rap it up on Super Tues. It wasn’t until she fell so far behind that she suddenly became an advocate “to count every vote.”
This campaign confirms she will triangulate anything to win (i.e., Bosnia sniper, anti-NAFTA, gas tax holiday, race bait: “hard working white people”).
But, mostly people are just tired of the Clintons. Go away now. They blame everyone else for their losses (right wing conspiracy/media conspiracy).
Who says she is the better candidate in the general. She ran a shoddy, broke ass campaign and lost to an unknown black man with an Arabic name so she can’t be that strong of a candidate.
Give Obama his props! For those Dems who are bitter enough to vote for McCain – good riddence. You’ll get what you deserve with another Repub admin & war in Iraq for 100 yrs.

I love how everybody thinks it’s so bad…McCain would continue down same path. McCain is not Bush…do you all have computers, cell phones, HD tvs, food on the table (albeit a little costlier)…other than gas prices, really what the f is so poor about our quality of life?
Obama’s promises equals raised taxes, folks….who wants to pay my share?

Ding dong. The witch is dead. Good luck bein’ keepin’ the spite and negativity alive right into the election you bitter old Clinton supporters. The ship has sunk. The plane has crashed. In a couple of months, you’ll be rallying behind the Dems when you realize what voting Rep reallymeans–like children you are still so focused on your sense of being wronged that you are incapable of seeing what’s really right. Well? Grow up. Fast.

I agree with you 110%. This is a race Hillary could have easily won only if uncommited delegates and super delegates were not pressured to decide their votes, even with Hillary winning during the last primary elections….Obama is a good speaker,true.. but words without actions are meaningless. Let’s see how he will deal with foreign policies..with foreign countries, without the experience that McCain or Hillary has. On the other hand, it was not meant to be for Hillary to win this time, God must have other plans for her and I truly believe that…100…I mean 110%…GOOD JOB HILLARY!!!!!!KEEP up that energy…I will voting for the other party…unless Hillary is on the VP ticket…

Thank you Virginia Independent, my sentiments exactly…it really gets old to keep hearing racism if you don’t trust Obama. I wish he was purple.

All of this talk about Hillary winning the popular vote. I just googled the tally for all primaries, and found that Obama has 54,000+ more poular votes, not counting Montana and South Dakota’s vote, where the polls are about to close. Hillary’s people proved that if you repeat the same lie over and over “we won the popular vote”, people will believe it. The same tactic brought the Nazis to power in the 30′s.

People have watched the interesting presidential election campaigns opening between Democrats and Republicans; of course, there have been conflicts political arguments that generate the nature of political debates.
The Democrat super delegates have challenged the presidential candidates: consistently, patiently and determination together with their wisdom. Obama is very extraordinary player on the basket ball contest. He knows himself when to beat and when running.
On the other hand, Hillary Clinton has proved her honest and truthful of the tennis player but her wisdom that make audiences love her style. She has had big “hurrah” in the contest. Finally, she got a trophy from difficult characteristic and unconvinced super delegates.
Technically, communication signaled when Obama quoted, “Senator Hillary Clinton is the great asset of Democrat Party, and conceded her victory in Puerto Rico on Sunday 1st, 2008. In turn, Clinton said, “Senator Obama has a narrow lead in delegates. And we are going have to make our case to the automatic so-called super delegates,” she added, “I think my case is clear; more than 17 million people voted for me. In recent primary history, we have never nominated someone who has not won the popular vote.”
Wow!!What do people see this phenomenon of people feelings? They do want to have change totally of this administration. Both Clinton and Obama have gotten more votes than any presidential campaign in primary history. Certainly this time, Democrat Party will win the White House. A 44th Democratic President of the United States of America-The woman President in America history, a new historic page will soon be turned to Democrat era.

Congratulation Obama!
Thank you Hillary!
The nomination is over and it is time to fold. You either want 4 more years of $4.00 gas, Iraq war, potential Iran war, Home foreclosure, job export, etc or CHANGE.
Bill never passed any landmark law, Hillary is polarizing and would give Republican fodder for attack and win!
Obama, even force McCain to try to claim change…eeewww!
Hillary for Secretarial job, NOT Vice Presidential post.
Remember, you starved Al Gore and will likely extinguish Obama in White House.

the far left has hijacked the party and nominated another mcgovern, dukakis, kerry. you lose. mccain wins. get used to four more years….

and obama is a racist. his pastor is; his wife is; bye bye obama.

It is a shame that any woman would say that she would vote for McCain over the candidate of her own party.
If McCain wins because of bitter Clinton supporters then you can kiss Roe v Wade good-bye. McCain will have it overturned and set women back for years.
Just think about it………..

The one thing that people miss in this assessment is the strategy that Obama brought to the table. I was for Hill at the beginning, but what led me to Obama were his organizational skills, innnovative and creative thinking. These are key skills the next commander in chief will need for the problems of the 21st century. In fact as the primaries wore on, the republicans remind me of the 19th century while Hill was atrictly 20th century. We need a 21st century person running this country!! I’m for the “O” man all the way!!

When all you Clinton supporters that are now voting for McCain get through whining like some little pathetic bigoted losers remember that you ought to be ashamed of yourselves for not being honest enough to admit that you would rather vote republican than to see a black man in the White House! Get past color you MORONS and get on board. I am so sorry that your worse nightmare came true, but your next president will be a black man rather you vote for Obama or not!

When the big biz finds a better salesman for their agenda, guess who will win?
Obama can sell a mango tree to the Mexicans and an igloo to the Eskimos, why should we be surprised that he was chosen?
One he has been chosen, the media which is the handmaiden to the big biz, just have to toot the horn for this phony.
No one has a snow flake’s chance no matter how good her programs are and how earnestly she is for the middle class and poor.

white woman ind voter: You need to go back to school and get educated on how to word sentences. Hillary didn’t say she wanted the VP she said she was open to it. The Obama campaigners are the worst ignorant people ever running a campaign for a candidate. They think they own Obama trying to make decisions for him. Can’t he make his own decisions since he graduated college. How could he make important decisions as president. What a mess.

hillary is / was the deciding factor in this campaign for the white house
without her obama will lose the presidency
she could have beat mccain herself but obama cannot and will not

Hypocrisy! Politics as usual. Hillary has told us that Obama is not experienced, cannot lead, isn’t good for the country, should not win, is worse than McCain, is wrong on issues, etc., etc., etc.
Now she wants to be his VP and tell the world that he is experienced, can lead, is good for the country, (well, you get the point.)
A lot of people can call that politics or whatever. But, Hillary is fake and as phony as the lies she told along the way. Most of you Hillary supporters sound just like her…You are some fake people and I feel sorry for you.

Ed S. You are so wrong. Most of the senators voted for the war not just Hillary. You don’t go to war on one vote. Obama wasn’t there when the voting came up because he missed the senate 130 times. But, he voted for the funding twice. No difference. I only hope now that Hillary will run as an independent to knock Obama out of the presidency after the DNC and the superdelegates turned on her outside of Kerry, Kennedy, Dean, Biden and Richardson. I have never seen so much hate in a campaign like this in my life and I voted for many many presidents. I also hope Hillary’s voters will keep their word and vote for McCain.

What a sad day, when the super delegates decide who becomes President over the POPULAR votes of the American people…super delegates or not, I voted for HILLARY! And very proud of it!
I’m part of “WE THE PEOPLE”, what catagory DO the super delegates fall under?

“what a load of crap – this guys opinion stinks – and whatelse – he played for both teams (repub and demo)
go figure some loser would write this garbage”.
Dowd is a spine-less creep!
Hillary could still win if she pays hardball…declare to the superdelagates she will run as an independent and therefore dems would lose or select Her…
The TRUTH is:
Obama can NOT win without Hillary.
What an irony??
A few words for Obama supporters:
You can not thrive long by being HATEFUL!!! We saw your ugliness, we saw your creepiness, we saw your fear, we saw your WEAKNESS – loud and clear.

If the Clintons had been honest, decent people, Gore would have won his own state or Arkansas, won the presidency and things would have been very different. Bill lost the House of Representatives and he contributed to the loss of that Minnesota Senate seat (and therefore, the Senate)due to his behavior at the wake. Hillary’s treatment of the travel office staff and her remarkable amnesia during questioning under oath about Whitewater and such, the dishonesty about the cattle futures money, the Friends of Bill and the pardons, plus her giving Americans the experience of being co-enablers with her of her husband’s philandering contributed to her unpopularity among millions. She earned defeat. Perhaps she got to where she did mainly because of her connections (e.g., the job at the Rose law firm)and not really because of any special ability. Like many others (Harding, Nixon, Carter, her husband)she was lucky to be in the right places. The White House is just a place too far. Women, find a competent woman that is worthy of trust and you will see her elected.

This campaign has made me veer toward racism. I have been racially biased for the colored, specially the black, now I feel such disillusion about the ideal of “color-blindness” in racial matter.
THIS IS A PERSONAL TRAGEDY FOR ME AS I DON’T WANT TO BE TINTED BY ANY RACISM. BUT THE HAPPENINGS IN THIS CAMPAIGN ARE PUSHING ME OTHERWISE.

Obama will lose 49 states (except Illinois) in November.
Obama will win 20 states in the GE with Hillary being the VP.
Final word:
With or without Hillary, Obama will lose in November.
It’s upto Obama to choose!!

Personally, I would not want such a victory based on unfairness.

Barack Hussein Obamam
The 20th Hijacker

I guess I would take your analysis more seriously if you had EVER said anything nice about Sneator Clinton. In all these months, I have ony heard negativity from you and amy of your cohorts.

It is unlikely McCain will do anything to overturn Roe v Wade. He is, however, pandering to the Republican conservatives.
McCain ’08

This is not about Hillary losing…it’s about Obama winning. It takes the next black JFK to knock off HIllary..that’s what it take. So it’s not aBOUT her at all…well maybe it is about her…her experience mean squat since she has had bad judgment.

Personally, I would not want such a victory based on unfairness.

You have the audacity to call Hillary supporters racist when Obama has been a member of church for 20 years that embraces an ideology that spews nothing but racial hatred towards white people? His closest self-proclaimed spiritual advisors are nothing short of a freak circus side show. It is amazing to me that the so-called liberal progressives that want change are behind a candidate that is nothing but the same ‘old politics’ as usual, just in different packaging. Obama can pander all he wants to Hillary supporters but they know is nothing but a fraud. He lies about his relationship to Rezko aka his political God Father and the his co-terrorist financial contributer Nadhmi Auchi!!!
No, I will never vote for a man who got his start and funding in politics from man (Rezko, Auchi) that was formerly tied to Saddam Hussien’s regime. Look that up Obamotons. Yes, your man has a direct link to Nadhmi Auchi…18th richest man in London, owns BNP bank, Fintrade and many others. This man was convicted of the largrest fraud case in the history of France (El Aquitane)!
Change you can believe in! I think not.

First, I’m appalled at the poor spelling and grammar of most of these posts (both Obama and Hillary supporters). Wow, that says so much about the state of the US.
The best analysis of why Hillary lost was summarized by Tfseem. Hillary’s arrogance and ambition for power sidetracked her campaign along with her assumptiont that she would be the presumptive nominee after Super Tuesday.
I’m a registered independent who has watched the DNC primary contest with some interest. I never would have voted for Hillary. I’ve never liked her or respected her. My impression is that she put up with her philandering and perjuring husband in order to make her grab for power. For example, she immediately moved to New York to establish residency to run for the Senate without having any other ties there.
My inclination has changed from considering Obama to supporting McCain over the past few months of observing this race. I don’t think Obama is honest about his real agenda, which appears to be far more radical left than his public persona projects. It is very disturbing to me that he has had such a close relationship with a church that has given Reverend Wright a pulpit (notwithstanding the cultural differences in predominately black churches).
This was Hillary’s race to lose and she lost it due to her sense of entitlement. She endured her idiot of a husband for so long to preserve her political power. Her hubris defeated her.
I do find it surprising that so many Hillary supporters are donating to McCain. Don’t you have an ideological/political stance that you need to support (that is opposite of the republicans) not just expressing a need to throw a tantrum?

Hillary’s ignorance is what killed her. She appointed herself as the nominee because she thought she was entitled to it. Well, Hil, the folks saw right through you. This goes to show you that the rest of this country is not as dumb as the residents of NY who sent her to the senate.

I’m sick to death of hearing all of this Black President/Woman President stuff. Can’t we just look at people objectively anymore? I thought gender and race were passe ideas (guess not). The UK had a woman Prime Minister–Maggie, the Iron Maiden, who was WONDERFUL! in the 1990′s..What is wrong with America? The idea that we won’t vote for a WOMAN or a BLACK MAN is just so Stupid! The issues are what I want to see discussed, and in this nomination battle I haven’t seen issues–I’ve seen personalities!! How sad for all of us. The candidates were too busy being “childish” to each other to explain themselves. OR all they did was spout slogans about “CHANGE” or “EXPERIENCE”—I wanted to scream “Show me the Beef!!!” Where is the substance of these people? It’s a sad day when none of the candidates are worth a vote.

It has been mentioned before but cannot be stressed enough….the major reason the Hillary lost was that she was running against a phenomenal opponent. Barak Obama started strong and kept getting stronger. If Bill had run against him in 92, Bill would not likely have gotten the nomination either.
If Hillary had run against anyone besides Obama, all those other ‘mistakes’ that Dowd points out in his article would mean nothing.
Lets give credit where credit is due. I would love to see an Obama-Hillary ticket which would truely be phenomenal!!!

Again, Hillary ran a good campaign, she’s honest and she does have experience. THERE. I said nice things Jan. Now stop shooting off ur mouth like Obama Supporters want to take over the world. WE JUST WANT SOMEONE TO GET THE JOB DONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE! Are we wrong for wanting that!? Gosh. i can’t believe some people.

I’m doing an informal poll on my blog. So far it is pretty evenly split as to those who think Hillary benefited from reverse sexism as opposed to being hurt by sexism. Feel free to vote.
http://inandoutoftruth.blogspot.com/

Barak Obama just secured the democratic nomination. He has 2119 delegates!
History was just made.
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!
Obama ’08!

It’s so sad that there’s so much neglect in considering ability and qualifications required as commander and chief. If that were truly happening there’s no way Obama would be this far today. He may be a good fit for the oval office someday. He seems very intelligent and certainly has gifts in communication, but he’s just getting a feel for what it takes to run state affairs much less a whole nation. Next time around he’d have my ear, but for now to simply tout “change” as anyone can is simply a use of words. A use that’s clearly worked well, but almost any human can say the word “change.” Time will tell if he fills the seat.

Ron mentioned that Obama better learn how to duck.?? Is he doing the same thing Hillary did …. refer to an assasination attempt? It is so sad that people would rather believe as person that at every opportunity brought race into the campaign (yes I do mean Hillary). Throught the entire campaign process) Mr. Obama behaved very “presidential”. I can’t say the same for Mrs. Clinton or her hubby. Grow up people! Mrs. Clinton lost the race herself.

Mariann Pepitone: I read your statement about my comment. One thing. You are soooo negative. Why? Everything that you said is negative. Why does one have to knock another out of the race? Why do the Hillary supporters have to disgrace themselves and vote for a man that clearly hates everything that Democrats stand for? Hatred, bitterness and jealousy clouds your thinking and you should sit down and contemplate. Also, you appear to love Hillary soooo much. I bet if you had seen her like I did years ago in public you’d feel different (that is if you had a real brain.) Hillary cusses at people and is really mean when it isn’t necessary. My impression of her wasn’t good and I wouldn’t show soooo much love and dedication to a person who gives less than a hoot about people she works with… Let alone YOU!

Forget Hillary Clinton her old white ass was not going to win. Yeah Barack Obama finally we get to see a black man on top instead of being looked at on the bottom.

A tough election like this proves that the democrats are ready for the go. Hillary did a great job, but Obama was preferred.
UP UP DEMOCRATS!!! we’ll cont. our support for Obama 08. Obama we love you!!!!!

“….Obama stands for a new type of politics. It is harder and it doesn’t always fit into the two-second sound bites that Americans are used to receiving their politics in. But, in the long run, it is better for the nation. It is about working together. It is a solution that could unite and heal us in a situation where we’ve left each other divided and wounded.”
Posted by: Chris Redford | Jun 3, 2008 8:55:23 PM
There are fundamental differences between the Republicans and Democrats–government power (state vs. federal), taxes, wealth distribution… Should Senator Obama win the GE, there is very little on his resume that speaks to his ability in overcoming these differences. His Senatorial record doesn’t even provide any insight into how he plans to resolve the partisan problems that plague this country. If anything, he has a very liberal record; which will turn away a lot of voters in the GE.
McCain ’08

Every drip drop of political blood in Hillary disagrees with what McCain is about. The only thing that they have in common is that they are both WHITE. Wow, what is the truth behind you Hillary supporters turning toward McCain. It’s been 400 years that we’ve been in this country together as different races of people. Why haven’t some of you gotten the poison out of your system? If you don’t believe me that you’re wrong, watch Hillary’s speech tonight. She will admit defeat, support Obama and disagree with you idiots who don’t support him. Albeit, she will prove herself to be quite the hypocrit when she does.

Congratulations Senator Obama!!
As a Republican, we could not have asked for a weaker candidate..I mean where do you start? no experience in international affairs, no legislation to speak of, no military background, biggest accomplishment= good public speaker, but no substance.
I am a little dissapointed because I was looking forward to a match with HRC, who is by far more qualified.. You hate to beat a second rate quarterback like Barack Hussein Obama.

GK — Yes, Hillary supporters do have an ideology that they support and that is not to let a novice with ties to Islamic terrorist in the WH! Obama and his camp have been scrubbing the internet with any links that illustrates his ties to Nadhmi Auchi vis a vis Rezko.
For me it an issue of National Security. You think I am kidding or being overly dramatic but I am not. Mr. Auchi’s lawyer Alsdair Pepper in London has been shutting down any websites that show the link between Obama and Nadhmi. Just recently the Chicago Tribune had to shut down there Rezko Watch Blog upon receipt of a 3-page memo from Alsdair Pepper. And if you look up Jack Kelly at Real Clear Politics he had written an article on March 1st 2008 entitled “Who Is Nadhmi Auchi and What’s His Tie to Obama?” You can find every oped piece he is ever written but this one. It’s been scrubbed. I have a copy though and will save it as proof.

Alot of people say that if Obama was a white man he wouldn’t have made it this far. Well if Hillary was a white man, and an unknown name, she wouldn’t have even been considered – period. All I can say is if Obama picks her as VP, he better watch his back, have his food tasted and sleep with one eye open. As evidenced by her actions, she will stop at nothing to be Pres. What a disgrace. She should drop off the face of the earth. Good ridance.

I agree.

I mistakenly wrote:
“Look for a woman’s right to be fatally in danger”.
Sorry about that. It should be:
“Look for a woman’s right TO CHOOSE to be fatally in danger”.
The ladies look to men for protection, and overturning “Roe vs. Wade” is the WRONG way to go about doing it.
Go Obama 2008 / ¡Vamos Obama 2008!

Watch this video on Obama.
http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?RsrcID=2036

SDO I so agree with you. That bigoted Mariann Pepitone just got me going a little bit because I am so tired of bigotry in this country. And just like the run of the mill cowardice bigot they always try and “whitewash” their true feelings with a bunch of bull. Obama is an awesome man and a viable candidate. I like Hillary too but she ran too dirty of a campaign. She was more cut throat that she needed to be and got caught in too many lies, but I will vote for her before I vote republican because that McCain is a disaster waiting to happen. America is already so low that we have to look up to see our feet and I will take a chance on change before I continue with bushonomics. George has made our great country a laughing stock. He is a C Student and finished next to last in his class at Westpoint and those dumb ass republicans overlooked that and elected him president…Twice, well the first time he stole the election but I digress….

No to WAR! That’s a factor for Obama.
No to WAR! Might be as well a factor against McCain.

SDO: Let me go on record to say that I would never vote for a candidate that attended a racist white hating anti-american church for 20 years unless I was racist myself. You need to read more on Obama. He was a racist as a young man and even had a dislike for his mother and grandmother the typical white woman he called her. Obama and his wife were both racial. I read his BIO in the NYT months ago. Very interesting. He has close ties to Ayers who set off bombs in this country three times, attorney for crooked Rezko, and don’t forget Farrakhan. Is that what you call a true American? Obama only wanted to make history for himself the the heck with you. I read him like a book without the cover. He is underhanded and cunning. He play dirty pool to the woman running against him for the senate even taking her to court. It was all over the internet a few days ago. I hope Hillary’s voters are smart enough to vote McCain if she isn’t going to run as an independent. No. Obama is going to need Hillary’s help because if he wants to win those battleground states she won he needs her to campaign for him. I would refuse unless he wanted me as his VP and I would not help him. Get a copy of his BIO and read more about this man.

Republicans can’t spell.

Does anyone notice that Obama was not talked asbout much until OPRAH came out for him? I refuse to vote from someone because the fawning media and the great Oprah say so. She is a nice lady but she is a talk show host – not a guru or queen. Obama was not able to vote one way or another for Iraq as he was not in the Senate & I don’t care what speech he made from the sidelines. For people to say that gender or race did not play a huge part of this race, they are deluding themselving. While it might not have been the only factor it was a big one as was the love affair the media has had with Obama since Oprah knighted him. While I was not crazy about Hilary either (voted for Edwards myself AND I live in Florida so I guess I don’t count anyway)…I will not vote like a sheep that does what the popular press and talk show hosts tell me to. I guess McCain is not so bad – that is who I will vote for now.

I wish Hillary would run on an IND ticket so could knock the crap out of this IN senator with his idea of change … change from very bad to worse. May God have mercy on us if the good for nothing senator from IL wins. It will be sad but something that I will do … come back on this page and say “told you so, idiots”.

HRC lost because SHE RUINED HER CAMPAIGN by herself:
- HER TEAM DIDN’T DO THEIR HOMEWORK on party & primary rules
- QUESTIONS PLANTED for the meetings
- BOSNIAN SNIPERS (this was an incredible lie…)
- “OBLITERATE IRAN”
- “HARD WORKING AMERICANS – WHITE AMERICANS” (Ooops… bad girl!)
- SEN. KENNEDY ASSASSINATON (desperate…)
Plus: SHE WAS ALWAYS TOO AGGRESSIVE.

I think it has more to do with Hilary’s behavior. She was being like those nasty teenage stuck up high school girls rather than a leader.

It may be a revelation to Mike, but Bush actually had higher grades than the last Democratic presidential candidate==John Kerry. You may call Republicans what you want, but one thing is clear: there has not been any other attacks on US soil since 9/11 so while you all may weep and overstate the so called loss of civil liberties, but remember who’s kept you safe all these years. As for Obama, he wants to have a round table with the Cuban, Iranian and North Korean presidents==WOW–that’s really a well thought out intellectual statement–worthy of a Harvard graduate. Never mind Iran wants to use nuclear weapons on Israel..like I said–I relish the thougth of having Obama as the Democratic candidate

Mariann, Mariann, Mariann. My God, why are you SOOOO negative. Have you seen the character flaws in Clinton and McCain also. They are equal to the character flaws that we all have, including Obama, Clinton and McCain. McCain was endorsed and surrounded by Pastors who hate blacks and called Catholics the “Great Whores” (Pastor John Hagee). Hillary and Bill were so distraught during his time of infidelity that they needed spiritual counseling. Guess who they called? Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I read his Bio and I have a bit of insight into all the candidates. They all have said things that they really didn’t mean and have made mistakes. Don’t we all? Whatever you can say about Obama (including the lies you told), can be equally said about the other candidates. This is in your blood too deep. Take a chill pill and calm down. Hey, speaking of being underhanded, “How did you like it when the Clintons made those racist comments?” Or, when she misspoke about RFK being assassinated? Or, when she lied about dodging bullets? Even with those obvious flaws, she’d be much better than McCain. Here, here Mariann, live in the sunshine! Life ain’t sooo bad.

HRC HAS BEEN A VICTIM OF BOSNIAN SNIPERS
How is it possible for an experienced politician, layer, etc to go on and tell such a childish lie… she’s crazy.

“He is unelectable and Democrats are dumb. 35% of Clinton voters are walking. If that’s the case, that 35% are simple sore losers. There is such a vast chasm of differences between McCain and ANY Democrat that such a protest tactic displays profound ignorance.

@ Lenin, who said: “You may call Republicans what you want, but one thing is clear: there has not been any other attacks on US soil since 9/11 so while you all may weep and overstate the so called loss of civil liberties, but remember who’s kept you safe all these years.”
_____________________________
There weren’t any terrorist attacks on American soil for the 8 years before 9/11, during which a Democrat was in office. And there was ample evidence put forth in the hearings that your beloved Republicans knew that the 9/11 fact scenario was a possibility and took no precautions. And there have been two minor bombings in Manhattan in the last four years — suspects still at large. So they haven’t kept us safe. Not at all.

“I read him like a book without the cover.”
I think you should read his book, Mariann because you are terribly misinformed about what he stands for and who he is. You really don’t seem to know anything about him. Just what the media spins out of hacked up, out-of-context quotes from him.
If you want to know who the man really is, you are going to have to be a little more realistic, be a little less simplifying, and do a little more work. You would actually have to listen to his speeches and read his background.
Have you really ever heard a racist speech from him? I know you haven’t because he’s never given one. You want to take his “typical white person” quote out of context then ignore his entire speech about uniting the races. Well you are making things easier for yourself but at the cost of accuracy.

Holy Shiite – did anyone see McCain’s counter-speech???
Good God, that was painful – like Junior High Debate Club painful. I’ve seen bigger audiences at Keanu Reeves’ movies.
Disenfranchised Clinton Voters, have fun voting for that.
Did anyone else pick up the hidden messages McCain was making in his speech.
McCain’s hidden message tonight:
That’s not change you can believe in…(Please God, just put me out of my misery)…(cannot go on, do not believe words. .coming…out.. .of…my.. .mouth)… (Just spitting Republican talking points)…(must regurgitate canned line again)…That’s not change we can believe in, That’s not change we can believe in, That’s not change we can believe in…(Oh God, I can’t listen anymore)…(and I’m the one speaking)…(my fifty in-house supporters didn’t laugh at my joke). Cue theme music…This is the end, dum, dum dah, dum, dum, this is the end my friend…(no, nightmares of Charlie, napalm, Hanoi hookers…)

“He is unelectable and Democrats are dumb. 35% of Clinton voters are walking.”
If that’s the case, that 35% are simple sore losers. There is such a vast chasm of differences between McCain and ANY Democrat that such a protest tactic displays profound ignorance.
In my previous comment, I forgot to close the quotation.

Ed S from Lexington, Ky had it right. What a load of crap this article was. I didn’t even read to the end it was so useless and biased. Obama is not only the best candidate, he is the only candidate with the character, integrity and intellect to restore the USA-which is exactly what America sorely needs-restoration. May I suggest John Edwards as VP. Put an end to the Bush-Clinton era and all the millions of Americans(John McCain included)that have supported the American WAR CRIME that is IRAQ.Turn the page.Or America will certainly be destroyed from within.

Michigan, trying to be the most important state, had a “Soviet Style” one-candidate Democratic primary, the results of which indicated pretty much nothing. As a result, many of us loyal Dem’s voted for Romney the self-financed trasher of the other Republican candidates just to get him to stick around longer and do more damage, since we really didn’t have a choice on our own side of the ballot.
Michigan Dem Party head Debbie Dingell (who along with Sen. Levin and Gov. Granholm pushed the early primary) fought long and hard for Hillary, so when she switched her super-delagate 1/2 vote to Obama today, it was pretty much time to stick a fork in it!
So as you’ll hear from Hillary and every other Democratic leader in the next few days, it’s time to go thru anger, grief, denial, etc. get over it and get on with re-defeating Bush/McCain!

It really boiled down to the Obama early caucus strategy, piling up the insurmountable delegate lead in the early go. As the campaign went on into April, he became an unsteady campaigner — boring on the stump when doing smaller gigs, botching tv debates, and both looking and speaking like the very Ivy League priss Clinton was accusing him of being. She got better as a stump speaker and day-to-day campaigner as time went on…even to the point where Obama had eight days of unrelenting Bosnia sniper fire coverage to put her away and could not do it — even w Bill C screwing up. (Then came Wright and “bitterness” and he blew his chance.)
He limped across the finish line, losing many big, vital primaries even when he statistically had her and her supporters know it.
Axelrod (his strategist) clobbered Penn (her strategiest). That’s the victory. On the trail, it was a toss up, w maybe a slight edge to Clinton for finishing big.

kmclemore,
YOU ARE RIGHT. SO RIGHT. THAT’S REALLY WHAT COUNTS.
God bless all of you good people that see and fight for the truth and that make our worl move towards justice and progress.

Obama suppoerter time and again say that Hillary supporters can not take the simple fact that Obama won and Hillary Lost. and hence they want to vote for McCain.
No. You are wrong. HYou are just blinded by Obama – hence you can;t see what they see.
You will not hire a person with experience ( 143 days in senate ) as a CEO of your company. You would outright reject his resume. How come you select this guy? Ok you say look at his company that he keeps as a Harvard Law Graduate and professor. Wow ! do i say anything there?
No.
That proves our point to keep him out of the WH.

I really wish everyone was so passionate about politics when John Kerry ran against George Bush in 2004. Perhaps we would not be in the economic disaster we are in today. I would like to address those ANTI-OBAMA Americans. I would like all of you to go visit a veterans home and look in the eyes of those men and women who are handicapped and mammed. McCain wants this war to continue indefinately. Other nations are looking at us as an example, and we are too busy arguing about RACE & GENDER instead the rising cost of gas, uninsured Americans, and the war in Iraq etc..I wonder if we would be having this debate over electibility if Obama was an Biracial woman?

TomG-
You’re right, but they are both just in different leagues than McCain. Hell, different sports; from poise, to polish, to stagecraft, to the obvious difference a little campaign cash makes.
We don’t vote for President’s anymore. The whole things a beauty pageant now anyway.
I think as the “heat” of the Democratic campaign subsides, people are going to take another look at McTroll and go – what were we thinking – we were going to marry that? Can you say prenup? Yep, war hero – got it, but still, this is prime time baby – and that was not prime-time ready.

Number one she didn’t lose. She won the popular vote. Obama didn’t win anything but the right to be worshipped by the democrat party who have shown their complete take over by liberals. He was and IS the inferior candidate and November will show that once again the Democrats are so out of touch with average americans that they CAN NOT produce or provide a viable candidate. Congrats to McCain who will obviously will win huge in November. The Republicans thank you for making their job so easy once again.

I don’t understand why so many HRC supporters are so anti-obama. they both admit that their stances on most issues are very similar. mccain, on the other hand, represents a completely different political outlook. how can people who “support” HRC, which i assume means they support her political views, how can they possibly support john mccain??
it appears to me that they are the ones voting in the cult of personality; something which HRC supporters accuse obama supporters of. they are just haters; it’s ridiculous.
and dangerous for our country.
go obama 2008. yes we can and yes we will!

Bill, you make good points, but you assume today’s youth is informed, and not merely stupified by a guy who makes a good speech and promises the proverbial change that every politician spits out every election cycle. The reality is that the internet has made today’s youth more prone to less critical thinking and more groupie like attitudes [Obama is a good example]. I can guarantee you Obama is the next Walter Mondale…

Regardless of who actually gets the DEM or REP nominations, regardless of who wins the general election in November, we as citizens have to find some common ground that we can agree on. No one man or woman is “IN CHARGE” of this country. We all have a part to play. If GOD FORBID something happened where we had no more government, how would our immediate lives be? Like this forum, with people spewing hate and taking horrible cracks at each other? Are we AMERICANS? Can we pull together no matter who is President and LEAD THE PRESIDENT and our governmental representatives to where WE should be? Everyone has part of the blame! Everyone has part of the answer! Will we look back on our behavior and our words and be proud or embarrassed? Seeking higher ground is always the smart choice when flood waters encroach. From what I can see coming up, Katrina was a romp in the sprinkler. Higher ground, people. You with me?

Amen Obamamican.

I have been a democrat for sometime now. This election was very exciting and I truly hope that we can get a democrat in the White house. However, there was one thought that always daunted me. Obama and Clinton have very similar policies, correct. But, the big question, I think, is how would he react to stress and pressure. He smokes, and that habit could have been caused by stress. However, I don’t think smoking will alleviate any of the pressure in the White house, right? And there is one quote that comes to mind in this situation. It goes something like this (Pg 131, from the Rescue, by Nicholas Sparks):
“You’re going to come across people in your life who say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words that matter.”
Hillary would do very well with this quote. Her actions speak very loudly, a strong fighter. But Obama’s actions aren’t as loud as his words.. His actions show us that he attended a church where a racist gave sermons to him for nearly 20 years. (A racist is an understatement..) What did he do, what do his actions tell us? His actions tell us that he did nothing. What do his words tell us? His words managed to swerve around the issue very elegantly, with his speech on race in Pennsylvania.
So, the choice is actions or words. And America has chosen. I suppose words spoke louder than actions in this scenario.
With that said, I hope that Obama can achieve the same results with his words, come November. Because this time, more than ever, we have this match up.

To BILL BAKER:
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!
Thank you for putting it so clearly for everyone to read.

One too many pantsuits.
Life’s a bitch but I just didn’t feel like voting for one. Even though Obama is half honky…he is all donkey and we need change. Hope somebody doesn’t shoot him. That would be very bad.

dear gk why are u so worried about what others have typed in their comments on the polls. are u some perfectionist or did u just get lucky with hooked on phonics signed
or are u counting the typos from others who arent perfect.

To “In the words of Bubba”, “Sally” and “Hayden”:
Are you people completely nuts? Clinton did get robbed and it’s a sign that we Republicans need to do some very serious poll watching come the GE. She won popular vote but got robbed by the DNC, party leaders and caucasus’s (which are FAR from fool proofed).
BO (as I like to call him, because he stinks) is EXTREMELY liberal, a voting socialist (look at his views and voting record, they speak for themselves) and a very dangerous man. Based on his “past involvement” with certain people, along with the fact that I always see his mouth move but magically he never actually says anything, and that ALL he says is rhetoric and “Yes We Can” (can what?), and “Hope” (hope of what? more taxes, U.N. control of our country and lives, more federal government control over our lives, our rights taken away, etc. etc., hope of what?)then I cannot see how any logical rationale human being could possibly fall for all his crap. He is so incredibly phony. Read his books and if they don’t scare the hell out of you then your ignorance is mind boggling.
And his campaign says it’s not about race, and yet about 90% of blacks who voted, voted for him? Are all blacks extreme left liberals, because I really didn’t know that, especially based on the fact of how many I’m friends with. Interesting. And as far as the polls go, it depends on who’s poll you believe. McCain is ahead in the polls that I trust. Those that are trying to “pursuade” your mind, have BO ahead over McCain. You also have to read the demographics of those who were polled.
And, don’t forget BO supporters, the dems have been charge of Washington for the past 1 1/2 years, so “today’s problems” are not all Pres. Bush’s fault. Oh, how selective your mind must be.
Anyway, to “In the words of Bubba”, “Sally” and “Hayden” and all of those others who voice similar weak arguments, way to go. Good job. You’re proof of the mindless masses that don’t know crap about anything, but still have the power to vote. Good for you.

go aheadand win for the sake of winning policies mean nothing to the dems anymore

These posts are just getting nastier and nastier.

I think the reason Hillary wants to be the VP is that she’s counting on Obama being assassinated. I don’t think there is any other reason she would take second place to a man she detests.
Why would anyone want another Clinton in the White House? So her hubby can have another chance to humiliate the U.S. in the eyes of the world? The sex maniac had eight years to do his damage. Now, give it a rest!

Sorry folks…..
I got a little wordy in the last round. This time I just want to say to those of you who always have to bring “kids” into the conversation, for example those who say it’s their planet… Why don’t you forego some ot the tax breaks you’ve been given all these years and pay down our national debt! I for one am sick of seeing the redistribution of wealth to all of these worthless parents who get the earned income credits and then take a vacation from the kids with the money!!!!! I am for many types of social welfare but this one doesn’t have enough checks and balances tied to it! I would Vote for any Candidate who favors the FAIR TAX and if you don’t thoroughly know what that is…Do Some Redaing!
Obama, Clinton, McCain, should all do some reading on the topic as well.

I fear so many forget history. When the public asks you to represent them, you must first set your intentions aside and learn protocol. Now this is never something you learn strictly from a book of suggestions. On-the-job training becomes linked heavily with the manual of standard operational procedure. I believe Hillary has the experience and wisdom to act immediatly on any issue. Thus I see many more accomplishments in a much shorter period of time. I don’t really understand this push to have super delegates pledge before the popular vote is in from the people. (Remember us? For the people; by the people) Who exactly tries to insult my intelligence and talk to me like I’m one of those star wars soldiers who believed everything they were told and acted accordingly. Who said taking this to the convention is bad for us? I find that to be as ridiculous as voting for another party. I’ll stay home before I’d add my one to their numbers. If you allow yourself to be told it’s over before it is in fact over; you fell for a famliar children’s tale, cause this reminds me of “The Emperer’s New Cloths. Come on people, yes we need & want change. I’d love to see Mr. Obama be the vice president. He & Hillary collaborating. She knowing the proceedure to make their plans effective sooner than later. If then, he ran for this office again, I would take a good hard look at giving him my vote. I would feel much more comfortable knowing he understood all those unspoken rules of ediquette to keep his plans running smoothly. I just don’t have that confidence now. I want a Democrate in office at this point, I fear Mr. Obama will not represent the party as eliquently as Hillary. Experience for me is the deciding factor, followed by the strength & fight Hillary shows in the face of the media ‘telling us what is going to happen before it does.’

Wow! I was sure expecting a little more literary dialogue on a NY Times discussion board.
From the level of vitriol, it appears that maybe the most important function of this board is to you allow y’all to vent your frustrations so you can get over it and start healing!
Let it go! Yell, scream and hold your breath until you turn blue or the party gives in and selects your candidate! It’ll kill you if you try to stuff it down!
Really, we don’t mind! We’re all friends here! Then lighten up a little, hug your kids and smile!

jacki is dilusional being BLACK is the only thing getting Barack voted in!

Clearly today is a day of mixed emotions:
(Cut to one Hillary supporter acting hysterical) “Ahhhhhh!!!! Never Obama! Never Obama!”
But sir/madame Obama holds very similar viewpoints on key issues with Sen. Clinton. So would you say that even if Clinton is placed on the ticket as VP, you are willing to vote for McCain?
(They start ripping out what’s left of their hair) “Yes because Obama is not ready to run a country. He’ll run our country down into h###! Ahhhhhh!!!!”
(Cut to an Obama supporter) “Wait let me put down my Kool-Aid *wink* Today history was made. Barack Obama is the first African-American presidential candidate for a major party. It shows the world how much America has come forward to get to this moment.”
More on this story in the next hour.

Hillary lost because people just don’t like her. Barack is a likable guy. The longer the campaign went on, the more we came to dislike Hillary from her untruths to seemingly faked tears and topping it off with a shot with the boys! The average person just doesn’t like what seemed to be a very contrived campaign. We don’t owe her anything….she didn’t earn a nomination. Obama, a nobody, comes across as genuine and likable and the delegates agreed. Remember, the process is to secure delegate votes. Hillary knew the rules.

As of 10:24 EST of the day of the last primary HRC is a grand total of 13,000 out of 34 mil short of BHO- not counting Michigan. I would be reluctant to try to read too much failure into how she lost the race. Considering the amount of hatred aimed at her by the Kennedy wing of the party 13,000 votes out of 34 million cast should put all pundits ill at ease in talking about her demise and campaign’s failures. It would behoove the Kennedy wing of the party to consider the potential for major long range shifts in loyalties coming out of how they have treated one of their strongest supporters over the years- feminist women.

Yeah. Today is a day of VERY STRONG AND MIXED EMOTIONS. Just look at these posts! So hilarious.

I totally agree with “NOVOTE”. Hillary looks to have lost because of the DNC primary rules. Nevermind FL and MI, Hillary won the popular votes in both NV and TX, yet Obama walked away with more delegates. No one can explain that. We can go back and forth on why Hillary may have lost, we’ll just go around in circles, but what can’t be denied is the fact that the person with the most votes may not be the nominee. So why even vote when the delegates choose the nominee and not the voters? Actually, I’m still holding out hope that the Super Delegates vote with their brains, as Hillary will surely beat John McCain in November. Vote for Hillary for Democratic Candidate while in Colorado! To do anything else is just plain dumb.

To: “T.E. Blackmon” who spoke so forgivingly and lovingly until it came to Pres. Bush and then their “true colors” emerged.
For those who don’t remember, or who didn’t live through, President Jimmy Carter’s horrible, terrible 4 year term (you know he was a Democrat, and I suffered through those years), then may I remind you that we had gas lines 1 to 2 miles long and it was also rationed. You could not even fill up your car gas tank. And the price at that time, if converted to current dollar value (based on inflation, buying power, devaluation, etc.) was about the same as it is today. And dear T.E. Blackmon, that was 30 years ago.
Lord I get mad when people speak and don’t know what the heck they are talking about.

“You’re going to come across people in your life who say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words that matter.”

I feel that the popular vote should have counted. Doesnt this show that our votes dont count but some delegates do. Also Barrack Hussein Obama voted for live birth abortions in his State; which means the baby is born and then taken to a cold table and left to die. In this way is not slaughtered in the womb, how compassionate osama is. Our newspaper had printed it the day after he had come to our city. I emailed the newspaper asking why the above abortion article in the paper wasnt printed the saturday before obamas arrival. I HAVE HAD NO REPSONSE. Yes we have made another big mistake which may never be fixed. People only thought of change, oh yes we will get change alright. Something we never expected etc. Thank you to the delgates/voters to nominated barrack hussein obama. Hope you will sleep good now. We need another person in power to say who will die(abortions) and who will live. So sad.

Congrats to Obama! and to Hilary on her galant fight. But for me in the end all that matters is hopefully a democrat will win. America is proving that we are the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is good to see us come together and vote for what we believe in, being if it is a minority man or a woman. As an Black woman I was split on Barack and Clinton. I wanted them both to win, which they can if they come together and get on the same ticket.

From an Australian point of view, it was an excellent battle and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching how it played out. BUT you Americans have already had the Clintons in the White House for 8 years and I think the propsect of Bill returning for another 4 years was just too much. Obama is what I think you guys need. Fresh blood, young, energised, to reshape the country.

I’ve sat here and read some of the most HATEFUL posts I have EVER read. As a PROUD DEMOCRAT, I am so happy that this mess is soon going to be over. Some people are upset that an AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN will be the presumptive Democratic nominee – based solely on the color of his skin. Senator – PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE – Obama has said repeatedly that he is a CHRISTIAN, not muslim, and people need to STOP TRYING TO CONNECT THE NAME BARACK OBAMA TO THE ISLAMIC FAITH. Also, Candidate Obama ENERGIZED people to want to stand for CHANGE, especially many people who would not have otherwise voted. Both Obama and Clinton would be great Presidents, but you people who will jump ship off the Democratic party onto the Republican party because Obama won – and happens to be BLACK – are sad, racist examples of what is wrong with America today. It’s terrible that “Americans” such as these don’t want to unite the Democratic Party and would rather vote for the status-quo Washingtonian politics (read BUSH POLICIES) of republican (BUSH CRONY) John McCain because a BLACK MAN WON! You people not only should be ashamed of yourselves and your racist ideology, but maybe leave this great country of America and create your own country -Hypocritical Island. You so-called “democrats” make me want to puke. Thank GOD for Barack Obama and for all of the people who really want to make a REAL CHANGE for the betterment of ALL AMERICANS!!!

Affirmative action extends to democratic circles. How else do you explain this?
For those HRC, I agree that there was a double standard.It stinks because that is what the media always did to Republicans until Fox News came along and hit everyone in the behind.

Just plain and frank, ur being insensitive and rash and these kinds of posts need to stop.

Hillary lied, cried and alibied to make her point and it didn’t work. There was no ‘sniper fire’, Presidents shouldn’t cry unless it is for someone else, and her claim of being picked on
played the gender card, she insisted on counting votes that were disqualified and when she got her way she complained it wasn’t enough. CRYBABY! We didn’t need to hear any of this trash and I think Hillary gives all accomplished women a bad name. She should have divorced Bill on principle. Maybe then I would have had an ounce of respect for her.

Everything on this list of reasons why Obama is “in” and Hillary is “out” are collateral, tangential factors. First and foremost, Hillary voted FOR the Iraq War. She let herself get duped, when the vast majority of Americans were NOT duped. The American people knew the evidence was insufficient to make a case for a unilateral U.S. invasion. Polls showed the vast majority was against a unilateral U.S. invasion. Germany, France, the majority population in the UK, the majority population in the U.S. were all unequivocally against a unilateral U.S. invasion, on the date of the U.S. Iraq invasion. But Hillary voted for it. Not just once. But repeatedly. And Hillary was caught red-handed in the campaign, lying repeatedly about simple facts, like the hail of bullets she had to dodge in a war zone, which was supposed to show how much experience she had. People don’t like being lied to. Most people don’t intend to vote for someone who is so dim-witted that they can be easily duped, far more easily duped than the general public. The nomination results had absolutely nothing to do with sexism and had everything to do with competence and integrity, which Hillary was clearly lacking in.

GOD BLESS OBAMA!
GOD BLESS ALL TRUE DEMOCRATS THAT WILL ALLOW HIM TO MEND THIS COUNTRY.
WE HAVE SO MUCH TO DO AND HAVE TO BE UNITED.

I am not Anti-Hillary but she made major blunders for a senior senator.
Here are the following examples:
1. “3AM ad”: Negative
2. Bill Clinton’s “Jessie Jackson
remark”: Dismissive/ Slightly
Negative
3. “Bobby Kennedy Assassination Remark”:
Negative
4. “Snipper Fire Story”: Appeared
untrustworthy
5. During several debates, she could
have taken the high road but
she didn’t. Instead, she raised
questions about Obama’s
patriotism to gain momentum instead
of focusing on the issues.
6. “Hard-Working Working Class Voter”
comment: Divissive & Negative.
Asians, Hispanics, African-Americans,
& other races are hardworking as
well.
7. “Womans Suffrage” ploy: Appeared
desperate. Hillary is strong, she
should have conducted herself
accordingly.
Obama has his faults as well, but Hillary Clinton is the experienced veteran who campaigned w/ Bill when he ran for Govenor and President. Moreover, she is seasoned from campaigning for senator of New York.

Conservatives must write in their own candidate. McCain is not a true conservative. Join me and let us write in Mike Huckabee, the man who should have won the republican nomination.

Interesting comment, K.C., except for one thing: If Obama is so unelectable, then why did the DNC party leaders select him? Their only goal must have been to get the Republican elected in ’08.
Maybe that’s what’s been going on for 8+ years: Gore owned the election in ’00 but by following the bad advice of his campaign squad, threw it to Bush. He handed it over on a silver platter.
Kerry could have trounced Bush in ’04, but didn’t have enough intelligence to select a team that could make sure his a$$ was covered against a flanking maneuver.
Clinton had every reason to stroll through the USA to the DNC nomination, but the people she chose to surround herself with were so full of hubris that they didn’t realize what it would take to get NEW voters to the polls.
So, as I always ask in these cases: Why would you feel sorry for someone who was so inept that he/she didn’t see what could happen and take action to prevent it? Why would you want that person as a world leader who loses so easily to those who don’t play by the rules? The least that any of these candidates could have done, if they really gave a rip about their constituency, is realize that their rivals were ready to do ANYTHING to win and be ready for it. (Even those rivals who drew out the formerly cynical by preaching the audacity of hope.)
And I absolutely have to echo the astonishment of the people who wonder how someone could be so petulant that they’d rather have 4-8 more years of neo-con power than vote for the man who beat their “special princess.”
Any Democrat who votes for McCain will have blood of innocent Americans on their hands – from the perpetual war, crappy medical system and near total loss of what’s left of our civil rights.
McCain himself may be a moderate, but he will owe the Republican party machine for any laws he’d like considered and passed by Congress, and these days the GOP is still run by the “White Makes Right & God’s Gonna Kill Everyone I Hate” crowd. And, if McCain is an honorable man, he will pay his debts.
Remember – When you marry the Groom in this courtship, his whole family moves in with you.

Hillary wanst allowed to win by the powers that be,,because they knew she would fight for change. We dont elect presidents anymore,,they are appointed with false numbers etc. Most of us older folks have come to recognise this. What has Obama done? Not a thing but distance himself from clergy. Obama is exactly the same as bush,,we are in a world of hurt now!!

Tina: You don’t know what your talking about. Obama has not won the presidency yet and may not if Hillary runs as an independent. That would knock him clearly out of the presidency and his arrogance. Its people like you that are a ruination to this country that would vote for a former racist, anti-american and hated white people himself. Read more about Obama and find out the facts. He is not the sweet sweet boy you think he is. He is very underhanded, cunning and played dirty pool to a woman running against him for the senate which was on the news a few days ago.

I believe the media was largely to blame. The fact that she seemed inevitable and thus not make for a good story made the media fell uneasy. after the Iowa victory, even though Hillary won the next contest Obama was already being compared to jfk. after that first contest it was just the fact that, yes even though Hillary had the advantage of being a woman and no one wanting to make that an issue, or seem like they were picking on her due to gender bias, Obama had the advantage of being an African American and no one wanting to seem like a racist for questioning or opposing his views. It is easier to get away and being discreet with being seem as sexiest than being seen as racist. Too bad for our country we are so self righteous. let’s see what the future brings with either another republican on the house or an inexperienced amateur who no one will dare criticize nor question due to race.

Hillary lost because Blacks ruthlessly kicked her to the curb. Nothing more. However, as a Hillary supporter, I can only say that the vicious, shameful tactics used by Obama’s supporters to just absolutely smear Hillary since South Carolina make me say that hell will freeze over before I vote for Obama. City councilmen have been vetted more than this guy and I, for one, will never, ever vote for him.

IMAGINE: Not a single vote placed and the following came out:
1. Wright
2. Fledger
3. Ayres
4. Michelle being “proud”
5. Liberal Voting Records
6. Media Love Affair with Obama
Hell when he finally got vetted it was 40 PRIMARIES, 20 DEBATES TOO LATE!!

I’ve read so many comments it’s overwhelming. I’ve tried to follow the primaries and have come to this conclusion. That we still have a long way to go when it comes to being the “United States”. We are so divided on so many issues that it is mind boggeling.
Whoever eventually gets to the white house will certainly get my prayers. Leading a such a Great country as the United States is no easy task. Reguardless who becomes our nation’s leader for the next 4 years. I will be at peace. My faith and confidence is not in any man or woman no matter how powerful,but in God Almighty.
America needs to show a better view to the world. Let’s stay united in spite of our differences.
Trusting the True power

I can’t believe the way the media played this campaign. Barrack is racist, unpatriotic and inexperienced. If Hillary would have said anything about a typical black person it would have been all over but the crying. But reverse racism is rampant these days. The media glossed over the typical white person statement and his unpatriotic way of turning away from the flag when the national anthem was played. Both of these things were very telling about his character. They also glossed over his close friendship with a man who is both a racist and fanatically anti-american (at least towards the governament). He was his close friend and pastor for 20 years. The pastor in question has been spouting his racial hate and fanatical and distorted views about the government for years. If Obama was so appalled and disagreed with what he was saying he would not have attended his church for 20 years and allowed his children to learn and hear his fanatical sermons. You cannot be close friends with someone for over 20 years and not know thier views. If he didn’t agree with him he would not have stayed friends and attended his church for so long. Politics made it impossible for him to continue this friendship. Another very unsettling thing about Obama is his connection with Oprah! She now has a cult with her own religion. Can anyone say Mel Gibson. She has been very active with his campaign. He is not keeping company with good people! America, wake up! What are you trying to let in the front door of our country! I will not vote in this election if I have to choose between another Bush and Obama.

I am shocked and appalled by the horrific treatment Senator Clinton has received in this country by the same people she has been helping for so many years. For shame! She is the best candidate for the job, and my children and grandchildren should only be so lucky to have her be the first lady president of this great country. That young man, Senator Obama, is a weak candidate with no experience except a speech he gave once. Shame on the media, shame on this country for throwing away the greatest opportunity to move us foward.

I am so disappointed that Hilary didn’t get the nomination.She was our only hope.She is a true American.I am a Democrat, but I will vote Republican now.

GOD BLESS BARACK OBAMA AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Nice try, will you analyze the General Election defeat tomorrow? The DNC just threw in their hand.

not getting my vote i’ll tell you that much. that way when the economy gets worse, the war is still raging, we are in another great depression and we lose the next election, the senate and everything else to the reps AGAIN, my conscious will be clear

Why does everyone keep insisting on calling Obama “the black” Presidential nominee?
The man is half white! Maybe you don’t know that since he obviously is ashamed of that fact and only presents his “black” half. After all, he did sit in a church for 20 years listening to a preacher who hates “white america” and wants God to “damn’ us.
Your people are fools. Following after Obama like he is the pied piper.

John: You are right. I wouldn’t vote for Obama either. Hillary didn’t win the nomination but neither did she concede so she must be planning something else. And the nerve of the Obama camp stating that they would offer Hillary the VP only if she refuses. Can’t Obama speak for himself? Who are the supporters make that suggestion. Hillary’s supporters are different than Obama’s. Obama will lose a lot of states without Hillary campaigning for him and I know for a fact SD, WVA and KY are just three of them mainly because he is not white. They are not afraid to say it either.

Hillary lost? How did that happen.Maybe she has been planning to become president since the year….. Oh what a strong lady she is for keeping her promiscous husband. “obama got good media coverage”, isn’t that funny. I bet he just got into the minds of all the networks or perhaps he owns most of the media. If so he deserves to be president. President bush should try and own the media. What a lovely president who goes on the news and says I was not lied to. The intelligence was flawed. What happens when you make mistakes. Do you keep making the mistakes or try to say sorry? Obama is americas new rise. americas real hope. Drop all the sentiments. Face your real future. Do you want america to continue this way? I dont think you would. America has always been a symbol of peace love and freedom. But today those qualities are fast fading? I am not an american. Neither do I wish to be one. I’ll tell you this. The name America has always been a symbol of beauty. Don’t let it fade away. Take off your sentiments. Look ahead. Bring back the real America. I wish you all the Best.

Another reminder: Primaries are not elections. They are tools used by the Parties to decide whom they -might- run as their candidate in the election. The fact they the parties get us taxpayers to pay for their beauty contests shows how friggin’ duped we Americans have become.

I’m walking away from my party!
They have let us down again in another election, way to go DEMS, and Mr Dean!!!
Give me a half a vote, you will see what happens in the end. You won’t be getting FL vote, or PA, OH, TX, Etc Etc, good Luck!
I love that people think we are just going to withdrawl from Iraq, go grab your TV dinner, and watch more American Idol, you got him.
2012 HILLARY!!!!

Mariann, you just truly hate Obama, don’t you? Where are you getting these accusations? Out of the air!? Racist against his mom or grandmother. What is the world coming to!?

Hillary Clinton is the true winner of the Democrat primary, had the primary been run with fairness and dignity. It is a disgusting message that the DNC and Senator Obama have sent out my children–that your vote DOES NOT count in this country, and all that matters is that you are the right “cultural stereotype” for the job—including President of the United States. Senator Clinton is the most compassionate, experienced LEADER for our Commander in Chief. I for one will NOT vote for Senator Obama. I will instead, vote for John McCain, a man who has worked across party lines, tells it like it is, and o, by the way, I live in Florida. Senator Obama did NOTHING to get our votes to count, and yet he supposedly would work for all of us. That is such hypocrisy! I will teach my children about honesty and standing up for truth, justice, and the American way, which Senator Obama and his minions obviously have no idea how to do. Senator Clinton has my respect and my vote. I hope she goes to Denver and kicks those Obama-ettes to the curb! I will then show my children a REAL winner! Go, Senator Clinton!! Denver! Denver! Denver!

I still can’t believe what democrats did. How can they expect Obama to win in November. He can talk. That is all he can do. 4 years back Kerry was the one. He could talk. But when the moment had come for him to talk, he could not win Americans confidence. Remember four years back what changed people’s opinion… the last minute video of Laden. When we needed support from the presidential candidate, Kerry just mumbled. Whereas, Bush already proved. That was the turning point. For that single move, we are suffering today.
Today, the country needs a leader, an experienced politician who can act, not a Orator. A leader who can bring the jobs back to people.
Democrats had a chance to pick a candidate who could bring democrats to power again, they missed it. I wish Obama wins this November.

Texas Tea.. what an ignorant statement, just because we realize that Obama isn’t right for the job we’ve got to be racist.. unbelievable.

To all the “Hillary didn’t win, so I’m voting Republican” simpletons chiming in…You don’t realize how childish you sound. I didn’t win the game, so I’m taking my ball and going home. Obama and Hillary both said many times they didn’t differ on that many issues. I dare say they share far more positions with each other than with John McSame. If you don’t grow up and mature at all before November, go ahead and vote for Bush III. It won’t matter much anyway, you’ve already proven you’re good at picking losers.

It Is what it is for years we have had old men tell is whats right now we had and old lady tell us what is right and it not working in this day an time Ipod yes walkman no

the choice of the people has spoken and they have choosen obama, give him a chance, everyone else had a chance. it shouldn’t matter what color the skin is we all bleed red blood……obama 08……………..junglist

This racism must stop!that is why this country is falling now.STOP THINKING YOU ARE SUPREME PEOPLE !!!!! YOU ARE NOT.It`s time for a black Man to Win
HA HA Hillary “LIAR”

Do not be affraid HRC. You are fenomenal, I am proud of you.

I didn’t read all the comments but the ones I read were quite good. I stopped reading when I was reading and obsrved that sentences were starting with And, I knew I was reading crap from someone that was uneducated. How do you get a job working in that field if you don’t know the difference between too, to and two? Hillary was beaten because she and family believe they are the solution to ride the power of the liberals and uneducated non productive feeders off a society. There is a bigger man for the job and he is now in the lead. When people here change, and I think that was what Hiler was selling, they fail to listen to the whole sentence. Change the constitution, reverse the American revolution, or change the balance of power in the world? Will the sentence be completed before it is too late to go back?

Kris, great idea! I intend to do just that!

Barack is smarter than McCain. McCain is not economically savy. He wants to extend Bush’s tax policy, which is bankrupting our treasury. We’re barrowing more than what we bring in. The Iraq War is costing $12B/mo. The budget defecit is getting wider. Everyday people are losing their jobs. Barack is going to have an organized plan. McCain is going to have nothing.

A lot of people are saying that many Clinton supporters will vote for McCain come November. Well, my grandparents and many of my friends who are Hillary supporters and/or usually vote republican, are voting for Mr. Obama. As am I…

I don’t think it was the hope. It was the testosterone. Obama fared much better with men while Hillary did much better with women. And I don’t think they were all voting for a “mother” figure.

Its so sad another 4 years of a Republican in the White House.The Clintons have done, So much for this Country, I have been so mad for 8 years. about my partys foolishness. have any of you young dems. heard of Ross Perot. americans never learn. I for one will vote republican, something just feels wrong about obama

To Joan and other Clinton supporters who say they’ll vote for McCain (seemingly out of spite):
I understand you are disappointed, but will you really vote for McCain and cause thousands of American soldiers’ and Iraqi and Iranian civilians’ unnecessary deaths, just because your candidate lost?
If so, shame on you.

I have such respect for the way Hillary Clinton conducted her campaign. But, the electorate want change – they don’t know what kind of change, just change! Too bad we can’t be smart enough to vote for competence and skill. And Obama will be “mothering”……please, there are many mothers out there who do more than make empty promises – they have real solutions.

I have a question for VA Ind. and others not supporting Obama because you don’t trust him. What don’t you trust? If you say his religion (Muslim), his friends (opinionated black men, some white), or his lack of experience (what exactly has Hiliary GOVERNED), then I have to interpret your response as based on race, not racist but race-based.
So, I have two questions: Why don’t you trust him? and Why is it that you can’t admit that race plays a role in why you don’t trust him?
The reason I think Obama supporters keep bringing up race is because we read through the “code” language that white America has been able to use in politics for decades without being called on it. There is no way that a true moderate votes for McCain based on what he is saying he will do. So the fact that you want me to think you are a moderate but are abandoning the Dems, makes me actually think you are afraid to have a Black president.
Prove me wrong and have some principled reasons to be against Barack. I’ll give an example so you know what I mean: an Appalachian voter on a message board was tired of being called racist and wrote a great post about Barack’s stance on coal and how that was completely against her interests. That’s principled. Telling me he’s inexperienced and not telling me why that matters is a cop-out. Give details Hiliary supporters. What are his positions that you have problems with?

Yeah, yeah yeah, all Obama losers out there: Now comes all the manipulations and guilt trips on the Hillary supporters. OOOOOOOOOOOoo the Hillary supporters are sore losers, the Hillary supporters are racists, ooooo, the Hillary supporters are evil old losers.
Keep it up, kids. I will remember every filthy thing you and your dirty campaign has called us, and I will be happy to repeat all the slurs and insults when you come SUCKING UP for MY VOTE AND MY MONEY in NOVEMBER–WHICH YOU ARE NOT GETTING!!!! You are losers, all of you! You have created your own stinking cesspool of hate and division and racissm, and you will pay for it in the GE when your annoited candidate loses! Personally, I have nothing against the Senator–he is being used as a pawn–but I will be very joyful when his team is beaten soundly by one of the two adults in the race, John McCain. I am a proud Hillary Clinton supporter and I will never vote for your guy.

And everyone forgot the Oprah factor. Oprah drops a book title on her show and it sells 10 million copies. If she can make Dr. Phil a household name imagine the possibilities.
Way to go Donkey’s you handed the white house to another republican with all your name calling and division. Just as well as McCain will see us out of Iraq with some dignity and without having the blood of a million Iraqi’s on our hands..
Don’t think the world watches CNN? It’s getting mighty quiet in Iraq and aweful noisy in Iran. It’s bad enough that Hamas backs Obama but now with Jimmy Carter’s endorsement get to know John McCain real quick kids.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. DOWD WRONG. HILLARY DIDN’T WIN BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE PERIOD!

I was never a Hillary Clinton supporter. I would have voted for Obama if he would not have run such a nasty, hate filled, sexist campaign. Obama is the republicans answer to George Bush. The lies just roll off both their tongues. Democrats criticized Republicans for voting for a man like George Bush and now turn around and vote for Obama. They both ran the same kind of campaign. Both have big money behind them. The media chose both candidates. This is another Democrat who will be voting for John McCain in November. Country over party.

For all your Clinton supporters who are planning to vote for McCain in general election, why? Are Obama’s policies closer to Clinton’s or to McCain’s? I’d think after 8 years of Bush WH even republicans do not want to vote for McMain. Why do you, as Democrats want to vote for McMain? Listen to him speaking, analyze his policies, look at him in the eyes and then close your own eyes and take a deep breath, do you really want McMain to be the president of the United States? Do you truely think he has the capacity and the intelligence to be the president of United States? I do not. I predicted that Bush’s presidency will be disater because he was not presidential then he is not now. Then listen to Obama’s speaking, analyze his policies, look into his eyes and then close your eyes, take a deep breath and ask yourself “is he presidential?”. I am sure your answer will be YES. CHANGE WE CAN.

Hillary would make an excellent Supreme Court Justice. Hopefully, that is in her future. I think the VP job would not be something that would really suit her — she would be bored in a matter of minutes, much less 8 years. But on the Supreme Court she could matter in a big way — for life.

Can someone please explain to me what all the complaining is about the democratic nominating process being flawed? Did we all forget back when Clinton was in the lead she had no problem not counting Florida and Michigan votes and she agreed with the parties rules, but when Obama started to win she threw a tantrum and screamed not fair. I would have respected her and pushed for her and Obama to be on the same ticket, but now I don’t think so. There has been a lot of talk about women not voting for Obama and voting for McCain, if Clinton does not get the nomination. I would like to think that today’s women are not dumb and stupid, if they are, none of them should have any complaints about the economy, women’s right, gas prices or the war if McCain gets elected because they would have contributed to his win.
A woman with a brain

Repeating the disappointment of the majority, our family still puts Hillary as write-in on the ballot. Go Hillary!!

WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE ONCE GREAT “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” OBAMA.I MUST SAY THAT YOU ARE A GOD GIVER.AND THAT EXPLAINS THE SIMPLE DIFFERENCE BTW YOURSELF AND THE MAN GIVER CLINTON THE LOSER.LET THERE BE PEACE IN THE WORLD.YES WE CAN

All I have an idea, instead of posting all of the moronic statements and distaste for either candidate what are the real issues that this country is facing? In the end, no one candidate will perform any action that anyone of us would like for them to perform. Wouldn’t it be nice if instead of spending the hundreds of millions on these campaigns it would be donated to maybe the country’s debt or maybe schooling or perhaps dealing with homeless situations? Possibly for once we the American people would get our heads out of our behinds and do something like stand together before trouble hits rather than during or after this country would be in much better shape. The bottom-line is, at the end of this election and the next President’s candidacy almost none of the general population will feel anything different unless we become better ourselves. If we are democrats let’s be democrats – division is the best way to bring down a collective – funny a collective I thought that’s who we were…

Some of the posts here are the most ignorant things I have ever heard. I bet if Obama was a white man named John Doe there would be no problems. HRC is a great woman, and I applaud her for what shes done for this country. If people would stop being so ignorant and give people the opportunity to be different, this country would be better. Some of you naysayers who think Obama is Muslim, or think you know what he believes, are just plain stupid. How about you go and run for President, and see if you can do any better. Sitting at home criticizing and trash talking is not helping this country, its only further dividing us.

what a racist bunch of americans, just admit that obama’s color is the real reason you don’t want him in the white house. I hope he has plenty of security because I smell another assasination coming on!!! I’m young, I’m hip, and I can f’n’ spell, so watch how you judge us– Obama ’08!!! Hell, y’all hated the Clintons when they were in the WH because the blacks loved them, and now Hillary has shown her true colors, she’s no different from what you all claim Obama and his wife are, Forget Hilary, I NEVER liked her, even when I voted for her husband!

Hillary has shown again her overweening arrogance and egregious hubris in her belief that she has a divine right to the presidency. She is painting herself int the pirah corner which she so richly deserves.

Shame on the Democratic Party to create such a mess! The worst politics in 50 years. Well when its all said and done . this country will be further termoil. The reason Hilary lost is that too many Americans WANT change so bad that their minds become cloudy as to what the president of the United States responsibilities are. Who has the most experience , the commmander in chief! Obama played the “pitty me “card , wolf in sheeps clothing over this Trinity Church ordeal ! All I can say is for those of you backing Obama you thought Bush was bad , you not seen anything yet !

Paul221
Thousands of woman stay with their cheating husbands every year. If you are basing your decision solely on that you are an uneducated dumb ass who should leave the voting to the intelligent people.

this is a reply to folks like mariann and mike.I was 4 years old when martin luther king was assassinated.most of my life i have been a republican,served my country in the gulf war.voted democrat once for an inexperienced former govenor from arkansas.militarily he sucked.economically he inacted the nafta free trade agreement.this policy and the subsiquent policies of the current administration have allowed for china and india to become the new economic super powers of the world.we need change,we need hope… and 30 years after the dream.its become a reality that is bigger than hillary clinton.cause she did think it was her time.that she could just step to the plate.then along comes barack obama and deeyaumm”a black man’s stealing my show

Amen, D Walker!
No matter who wins, nothing will change if we, ourselves, individually, and collectively, are not willing to change.

CALL HIM JIMBO or BO or WHATEVER…..
GET READYYYYYYY TO CALL HIM—MR. PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT OBAMA DID YOU REALLY THINK IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN OR MAYBE YOU NEVER READ”…the first will be last and the last will be first” THIS IS TO ALL YOU HATERS THE JOKES ON YOU, SO SUCK IT UP….YOU CAN’T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN If you watched the television tonight, it looks like the majority of his supporter are white, rather than black,,,,WAKE UP O’ SLEEPING PEOPLE YOU’RE ABOUT TO WITNESS A REAL MAN. So call him Mandigo if you want but prepare your ears for a new sound……PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a maverick voter and usually vote against people and rarely support anyone. Hilliary conducted a sleeze campaign against OBAMA and did everything she could to provoke and use the racial card,,Voters are tired of the old prejudices and want to hear what the candidates have to say and what they propose…Hilliary is not strong enough on her own and would be asking every 5 minutes the following:
Bill, what do I do now??
also her sleezebag horny husband would be back in the white house looking for interns and Hilliary would have to wake up every night looking to see if Bill is in the Bed with her..
There are many stories about strange activities in Arkansas back in the 80s and that is scary enough,,,
OBAMA is not a Beltway inside and that is refreshing,,,I am not happy with the ministers who he was previously associated with but they will not be in the white house,,His change of churches is reasonable,,,I know he will surround himself with reasonable people,,
WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT HE MAY THINK GOVERNMENT HAS ALL THE ANSWERS,,, Raising taxes to raise taxes is not the answer,,,More efficent govt is the answer and a smaller lean govt is the answer,,,He hopefully will come up with some creative unique interesting solutions and not rely upon the usual govt incompetant hacks for solutions,,
We shall see ,,,,let the madness begin

This is to much even for me … better to go to bed then to waste my time with you 90% voters, lol.
Please folks … don’t waste your votes in Nov … write in Hillary’s name on your ballot.
and with that thought …
Good nite and sweet dreams to you all … blacks, whites and what ever else.

Print Matthew Dowd’s biased propaganda some place where people will actually believe his snakeskin rhetoric. I’m not buying what he’s selling. And tell Mr. Murdoch he can’t pull the wool over everyone no matter how much money he has.
One Important Detail on the Dowd article: The polls in Montana and those in South Dakota had not closed when he published his article! That should make you seriously doubt his integrity and honesty as a journalist.
Don’t listen to unethical members of the press like Dowd has shown himself to be.
Check dates of postings and see who is paying them before you believe what is in print.
Hats off to Senator Clinton for her awesome persistence against the media fakes like this writer Dowd and his irksome pals.

Yes, I hate Obama. What they’ve done to get nomination leads me to hate him more than ever before. I will vote for anyone in Nov….just not Obama!

First, CONGRATS to BARACK OBAMA!
He ran a race of character and grace. He has been strong in tough times and imbearable moments that many would have given up and went home. He delivered grace in the line of fire and derrogative treatment. He has stood, though he realizes, AS WE ALL DO, that there are people out there (SOME OF YOU POSTING)who are without a doubt racially motivated, yet the blood of white and black flows through his veins.
REALITY CHECK, NONE OF US ARE WHO WE APPEAR TO BE. We are Americans, we ARE “the MELTING POT”. Our blood is fused together in a way that we have a little bit of everything in it! SO get over yourselves! So, Hilary didn’t do it! But if she did, I believe Obama and his supporters would have stepped up and GRACIOUSLY voted for her to prove to the Republican machine that we were not going to lay down and be trampled for another 4 years by this ridiculous war, this damaging recession, and this pitiful excuse for leadership! But YOU didn’t get YOUR candidate and now refuse to vote for the one who did win.
WHY?
He’s a Democrat!
He’s an American!
He was intelligent enough to win the campaign, strategize, and raise more money than ALL the candidates (Democratic or Republican)!
Why do you snarl at supporting your democratic nominee? You would turn from your party to support the enemy because your choice didn’t win?
WHY?
Is it because….
He’s inexperienced?
Yet, he strategically beat the experienced…
He’s a MAN?
Yet, he was raised by women, surrouded by women, and addressed this country with the same hope and encouragement that mothers give to their children everyday!
He’s BLACK? (legally speaking, because frankly we are ALL multi-cutural!)
Thankfully, we have just acknowledged a man who is brought CHANGE even in that arena. He will,NO, WE will not let YOU sad, pathetic, single-minded people hinder the change due to this nation. The rest of will embark upon this opportunity to finally step into a NEW age and out of this old racist format.
Look AROUND, all of these beautiful arrays of colors, races, and cultures are here to STAY! We accept change, we accept hope…
… and we ACCEPT BARACK OBAMA AS THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE!
AMEN!

Very bitter PILL to swallow for Hillary supporters…..get over it. If you want vote for Mcain and i will still be happy that it will not be that mean looking Hillary in the white house. I guess we are still ready for another Bushlike term just to avoid a humble black man…Shame on all of you Obama haters.

MATTHEW,
AS A NATIVE AMERICAN WE TEND TO LOOK AT THINGS DIFFERENTLY ! CHECK OUT THESE NUMBERS AND TELL ME WHO WOULD YOU SUPPORT:
JOHN MCCAIN :1517 DELEGATES
HILLARY CLINTON :1915 DELEGATES
BARACK OBAMA :2146 DELEGATES
Now, let us turn that into the years 1517, 1915 or 2146 – I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT MOST AMERICANS WILL GO FOR THE FUTURE! A LITTLE HUMOUR IN STATISTICS. Sincerely, Lake Hart, a Native American Writer.

First, CONGRATS to BARACK OBAMA!

Saint Lucia welcomes the DNC nominee the great Barack Obama. We all love you and support you.

as for blacks voting based on color, this is the only time that can be said, because from the time I’ve been able to vote there have only been white candidates, so when has color been an issue in voting other than now, and please don’t even include Jackson and Sharpton, and Sharpton didn’t even support Obama, so when??? The blacks voted for Clinton- is he light skinned… just checking

i just want to congratulate the priest from obamas former church. i personally think he said nothing wrong. hilary thought she had this one in the bag, she thought she is hilary,she is white,she is entitled and then she looked over her shoulder and saw obama. then she was like where did he come from,you should have seen that look on her face oh my god theres a black man stealing my show. and he sure did GO OBAMA

I did not vote for HRC because she voted for a war I oppose! That’s it no other reason.
How many favors she must have promised to go along with that decision, a decision that has caused over 4,000 soldiers lives, trillions of dollars, wasn’t that reason enought to vote for Obama?
Are you not all concerned that two families have controlled the highest office for nearly 3 decades how American and/or Democratic is that.

I have been a staunch Hillary supporter all along, but I think Louise had the insight to this one….”she would have beaten Gore, Kerry, Edwards and the like. She was just tremendously unfortunate to come up against a once in a generation sensation like Barack Obama.” I think even before the primaries, he was the one to watch. But I still want Hillary for president!!!

Hillary is a sore loser!! She’s probably crying at home with a gallon of ice cream …

I can not believe that I am voting republican this election but I have no choice. Better a war overseas than to someone “god damn america” who will kiss up to our enemies until they are right on our shores.

i respect hillary supporters, and i direct this question to them. on the subject of the war, how is it acceptable that she was misled by cooked intelligence that obama was able to dismiss based on reading publicly available sources?

Of course he was against the war – that’s what alot of people wanted to hear. He’s going to say anything to make himself look good.
Do you think if he was in Bush’s shoes at the time of 9/11 that anything would have been different? We were all ready to jump in the fight. I agree enough is enough – but in the beginning it’s what we all wanted.
I hope Obama is everything you Obama lovers thinks he is. God help us if he’s not.

The main reason Obama “won” the convoluted Democratic primary (even Republicans were allowed to vote in some state primaries) was racism.When over 92% of blacks voted for Obama -now THAT is racism.
Personal info–I am a male,registered Republican.

Heather113
I hope you understand that integrity, conviction and self-respect are personal characteristics a candidate running for the Oval Office must have. Haven’t we had enough characterless individuals occupying that office recently? Notice how I showed sufficent personal character to refrain from throwing slurs at you for expressing your opinion?

All of these comments are mean and shameful! So what Hillary didn’t win and so what Obama did win the nomination… the ignorant people who are willing to waaa like babies and then act out by throwing a little tantrum and vote for McCain will all be crying the blues like we are now all because you don’t want a black man in the office. Seriously people you are like the Israelites in the bible,leaving Egypt after being freed but then when things weren’t going the way they wanted, they were begging to return to captivity! This is essentially what you are saying. Just shameful!

All I can say kisarita, is when a friend or relative of yours dies in Iraq, will you feel the same way AFTER you cast your vote? And when have you ever heard Obama say “God Damn America”? If we want to judge a candidate on his associations, remember that Hilary Clinton worked as an intern in a law firm in the late sixties and helped defend radicals and draft dodgers. Should she be tarred with a stick saying she is unpatriotic because she ehlped many of them win court cases?

so then was hillary pandering to our war lust, over her better judgement, regarding the costs, risks and wisdom of lauching the iraq enterprise?

It’s no threat. We will vote for McCain because Obama is not trust worthy!!! You are talking about Iraqi war and women right? What a joke? Obama is sexist and has no respect for women! Didn’t hear what he said about Hillary in NH??? About Iraqi war? Obama said in 2004 that his position on Iraqi war was the same as Bush. McCain has record of standing on his own, but Obama has no much accomplishments, and has not been honest to the American people about his association with his Pastor, among many other things.

So with all this garbage being said, if Hillary is to run for VP along with Obama what will all you Obama haters do then? I hope you all wouldn’t dare allow one of the biggest opportunities for change in our nation slip away because of stupidity!

It is dishearting to read such ignorant and uninformed comments. Overall we
are forgetting one thing…We are one people, one nation, and once we embrace this notion and stop focusing on race in this country which is socially constructed…we will never be a great nation.

“the reasons and causes aren’t easily reduced to a one paragraph explanation”
Actually, it can be very easily explained in one word – Iraq
It’s why Bush is hated by Americans.
It’s why the McClellan story can still enrage so many people.
It’s why Hillary lost.
Iraq. Iraq. Iraq.
Just because the media refuses to acknowledge the elephant in the room (mainly because of their culpability), doen’t mean it’s not the #1 issue pissing off Americans.

Osama bin Laden could have won the Democratic nomination with the kind of propping up the media gave Obama.

Wrong Joe Navy–You are crying at your hutch with a gallon of ice cream with no one to support you. At least Hillary has something that you will never come close to. She should have ran as an Independent–It might have made more history considering our two other choices. Now Our other choice besides Obams will win. My Jewish boss said that if Obama wins; he will be easy to defeat–I believe that he is right.

Donna Brazile …..couting out votes, and manipulating michigan votes is also “cheatin”…u dumb biotch. Snake lawyer

What is this world coming to??? Exactly, AN END!!! Read the Bible and see it’s plain and simple. An African American will not last in the White House. Well let me rephrase that, Barack Obama will not last. He can’t even pledge to our flag nor put his hand on his heart rather the koran. Bill clinton was not a bad president. Just because he got oral sex doesn’t make him a bad person. I’msure he was not the first, just the first to get caught. Let Hillary be vice president so when Obama is impeached we can turn this country around with the Clintons in office again. Everyone needs to read the big book published by their maker and get a reality check. God Bless America and the Christian religion

Its official Democrats have screwed up another Race. I knew Before I read these Blogs. A vote for Obama was a vote for McCain, After another 4 years of a Repubican in Office. who will the Obama supporters Blame?

Hillary was a formidable opponent. Don’t insult her because she lost the Democratic nomination for president. She achieved much more than any of you guys ever will. Congratulations on Barack Obama. I think he should pick Clinton as his Vice President before further division in the party.

Hey David, if you wanna send your son to iraq because your’re upset about Obama winning fair & square then I hope that little f@ggot son of yours get what he deserves in Iraq (blown to pieces)

only finding my own post did I realize what we say has our name AFTER the post. I was thinking first your name & time of post then your statement. I, as JustTheFacts, wrote the rather long post (sorry had alot to get out) and it appeared to me as though Lauren had said these things. So either they somehow swapped our thoughts or our signiture post names appear following our statements. Just want to set the record strait in case others were looking at these posts and attributing them to the wrong people.

I don’t buy black shoes just because I’m black. I did not choose black shutters for my house just because I am black. I did not vote for Obama because we are both black….give me a break.
I started off as a Hillary supporter, but, SHE convinced me that Obama was the better candidate.
Oh, and I stopped eating white bread because it is an unhealthy choice, Not because it is not black.

a vote for obama is a vote for obamam. a vote for john mccain is a vote for john mccain. the job of the voter is to express preference between the number of candidates. our democracy is weakened when we as voters feel like we must always play pundits. in december if you asked my if our country, or party for that matter, was ready to elect or nominate a black man, i would have thought not. on realclearpolitics obama wins the general election, more narrowly than clinton. but now he is the nominee, sour grapes are now votes for mccain.

I can’t believe the stupid comments I am reading on this blog. Is everyone who follows Matthew Dowd’s blog a complete idiot? Why don’t you people follow an intelligent blog like dailykos and learn something?

I fear for the health of our nation. Non of these candidates are addressing the real issue in health care. With nearly 20% of GDP spent on healthcare, and the health of our citizens at stake, it is a bigger issue than the war.

To be honest, as a military member going on six years, I pray to god that McCain makes it.
None of you ignorant assholes really know whats going on over there unless you’ve been there.

“McCain is a moderate.”
Bush was a moderate too, back in 2000. Look how well that worked out.
But assume he’s really, truly, a moderate. McCain will have to get the right-wing wackos behind him in order to win and govern. He’s already said he would follow the right on issues like the Supreme Court and taxes, and we know he’ll keep his word.

Please everybody come together. There is so much venom brewing. It is dangerous and the only people that loss is us…you and me.

I agree with the points and let me add a few more which nailed Hillary:
- She acted as if she was entitled to the nomination. She changed course too late.
- She was unable to capture the aspirations of the voters till later in the campaign
- Her story of experience had no legs – being the first lady – and she got caught too many times.
- Her campaign was mismanaged ultimately by her – a sign of bad leadership
- She politicized the nomination process
and created her own rule book – this lost her credibility with the voters
- She was unable to bridge the gap between change and experience and demonstrated that she actually lacked experience in strong leadership
Finally – she should have distanced herself from Bill early in the process since he is/was a huge liability .
Most of all – she never admitted her mistakes and moved on – there always was a spin to her commentary – be it Nafta, Iraq or Bosnia.

“God Bless America and the Christian religion and getting BLOW JOBS in the White House???” . . . Give me a break eeeuuu?!?
Barrack won fair and square. Hillary knew as every other Presidential nominee knows that the popular vote does not win the election. Get over it and unite the Democratic party and keep those Damn republicans out of the White House!!!

I am sorry that all of you clinton fans are disappointed,get-over it. Her racist tones it’s all about her no matter what, we will change the rules when we want,please. You all forget that she agreed to the rules before this thing started and when she thought that she would cake walk through now she wants us to feel sorry for her and if she isn’t the one then we will vote foe Mccain, well take your racist asses on over to him and I hope he sticks it to you real good

Individuals that planned to carry CLINTON to the White House will now elect McCain. We are here, we are determined to keep an unexperienced, liberal out of the White House. We are large in number and All Clinton supporters. It’s not over yet OBAMA supporters…we still have the power to make sure HE doesn’t make it into the White House. GO MCCAIN!

Joe, I never said I liked the Viet Nam war. I grew up as a child watching that war on the TV news and learned to abhor war. My point is that there are many who would unfairly portray Hilary as being unpatriotic for defending those who avoided the draft and had radical leanings, the same way Obama is being unfairly painted. And, for those who might wonder, I am a Libertarian who decided to vote Democrat to make sure the Republicans are ousted from the White House. I supported neither Obama or Clinton until the nomination was decided tonight. Oh, I am also white, middle-aged, middle-income, and do not have a college degree. You know, Hilary’s demographic. LOL Had Hilary gotten the nomination, I would have voted for her.
I think the focus of this election should be defeating Republicans at every level, from local up to President, and I find the whole idea of voting for McCain atrocious if a person really wants this country to go in a different direction from another 4 years of American soldiers dying and Roe V Wade being overturned, both things that McCain stands for.
So, don’t try to put words in my mouth and look inside yourself and see if you can honestly support McCain and his policies. The man wouldn’t even vote for the new G.I. Bill changes because he is afraid soldiers will leave the Army. I am a peace-time veteran, and I know if I was in Iraq, I would definitely take the opportunity to exit a war that can not be won.

Give me a break!! There is more facing this country than Iraq. Obviously, the Obama zombies don’t pay attention to the news. Obama isn’t any different than every other politician. His campaign was funded by the special interests. This nomination was “bought”. The 2000 election was stolen from Gore by the Supreme “Idiots” (aka Court) and this one was robbed from Hillary. I hope McCain wipes the floor with him.
Then Hillary can go back to the “Stuper-delegates” and tell them I told you so.

I am happy to see that we will have a President in 2009 that will represent all of America. Not just because he is bi-racial, but because he has truly set about to offer balance to the American existence. He is the one person that offers a chance for persons of every socio-economic background to have an equal shot at the American dream and I really appreciate that. As to those of you who are still complaining about them not seating all of the Florida and Michigan delegates, How can it possibly be fair to count votes in states that either did not place Barack Obama on the ticket; Or held elections without giving each candidate the opportunity to campaign. Now me personally, I would like to know whether or not Hillary Clinton suporters would support an official do over. I think having the citizens of these to states to re cast their votes using the rules that the party had put in place would have been the best way to kill all the naysayers. That way Clinton supporters would know once and for all that the MAJORITY vote of the people, is truly with OBAMA.
WAY TO GO Pres. OBAMA.

Hello everyone, I’ve been volunteering in the kindergarten class in my children’s school because they need help not because my child is in the class. My son is 13 and one is 16.
The rules are: no name calling, respect
each other even if you feel differently, encourage each other, if some needs help then help them, no threatening or bullying, share; to name just a few. Please, let’s try to act like children. God Bless America, Laura

TO YOMO
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. THEY ARE CLEAR-CUT AND THE TRUTH. THE RACE IS NOT WON BY THE SWIFT…BUT BY HE THAT ENDURETH TO THE END.

My mind has raced been racing all day of these statements posted here. Maybe they are nonsequtor,but here I go!
BTW…Do any of you fellow Democrats recall that it was Black Ministers that had Bill’s back when he said,” I never slept with that woman…”? One of them was the notorious Rev. Wright!
Bottom line is Hillary has a very severe case of “Boomeritis”. Most of us Boomers are sick and tired of being sick and tired…yet Hillary continues. She needed a wake up call and she got one. A non Boomer who reminder so many of us old enough to have heard Bobby Kennedy. Hope. We can. We needed that because the play field of economic stress has leveled. There is no more color line in that regard.
What nails the coffin shut for me was the the statement “…but it took a President…” Maybe she forgot to read what Fredick Douglas had to say about BLACK PEOPLE getting the right to vote before white women. Feminism in the 21st aint what it used to be…but she doesn’t know that. And MLK died fighting for he believed in.
And let’s not even go there about the 1968 Kennedy assination statement.
Clearly, she clearly represents the “uppity”, well educated white woman who thinks like the Democrats of old…who wants others to think they can’t make it without her…and can’t seem to break away from that image no matter how she tries. Couldn’t find the words because it isn’t a reality that she can face.
And Bill is not a well man.
Obama gives us promise, hope and a new day!

A great leader once said, “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity”. This is proven in many of
the above comments.

To Susan 34
Yes it may be about the pocketbook but watch out if Obama was to happen to win the general. There won’t be anything (money) in the pocketbook. Of coarse it would be about the same with Clinton.

kert62: Because voters don’t want to vote for Obama if Hillary isn’t the nominee I agree with them to vote for McCain. I am not voting for Obama either, I am writing Hillary in as an independent. Her voters don’t like Obama so why should they vote for him. I don’t like him either. Its not a matter of race because if that’s the case why didn’t the 96% black voters vote for Hillary. Its not racial to vote for your own race. It doesn’t mean you can’t be friends with black people. Obama is not black, not white, he is Mulatto a name that the black people don’t like but that’s what he is regardless of the fact. The media wouldn’t dare call him that but they know that’s what he is. I hope McCain wins if Hillary doesn’t run as an independent. I am a fan of the Clinton’s when Bill Clinton was president and Obama is no Bill Clinton. In fact our emenies are smarter than Obama. They must be dancing in the streets right now planning their attack because they know that Obama isn’t experienced enough to know what to do in the white house.

I’m an Obama supporter with a great deal of respect for Hillary and Bill Clinton. I have been more involved in this race than ever before and I am proud to be. It makes me sad and hurt to be called a kool aid drinker and a fool and a sexist and deluded for my support of Obama. I don’t feel that I am any of those things(shame on all clinton supporters who do this and shame on all Obama supports that deride Clinton supporters). I am an african american and a veteran and very proud of my country. I don’t understand the hatred for Senator Obama, he has worked hard for and cares for this country and truly wants to make this a better and more united nation, as does Hillary Clinton and John McCain. He did not steal this nomination, he won it by following the rules and running a smart and well managed campaign. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 306K counting MI but ignoring all the caucus states if you include all factors including MI and the estimate of caucus states Obama would have 41k more popular votes. Regardless by the rules Obama won more pledge delegates from all 50 states and more of the uncomitted delegates so he wins the nomination fairly. Before anyone votes for McCain just please look at his policies and make the choice after that.

These campaigns have given us several examples of how readily people will accept the most implausible conspiracy theories that will support their preconceived notions.
Some people believe that Senator Obama is really an agent of radical Islam. Now, some believe that the Democratic Party leadership had been conspiring against Senator Clinton since before the campaign began and preordained Senator Obama. That, despite the fact that Senator Clinton had twice as many pledged super delegates than Senator Obama 6 months ago.
I want to conduct an experiment. I have already seen some comparisons between Senator Clinton and the fictional Vice-President named Caroline Reynolds on the TV drama Prison Break. I want to propose that Hollywood anticipated Senator Clinton’s bid for the vice-presidency. They deliberately designed this devious character to create suspicions about Senator Clinton’s motives and to undermine her chances.
Even though I am publicly stating that I just made that up and it has no basis in fact … “as far as I know,” to quote a candidate, I suspect that I have just created a conspiracy theory that will gain many adherents.

I love the people who claim that the media has been propping Obama up. Yeah, they drove the Reverend Wright “controversy” into the ground because they loved him. The media is actually a big part of why Hillary was able to stay in the race so long; any other candidate who lost twelve states in a row and was still 100+ delegates behind after Ohio and Texas would have been forced out months ago. They had practically ordained her the winner before Iowa had even voted (Remember when the news was full of a possible Clinton/Giuliani face off?) As much as you people hate to admit it, she ran the weaker campaign and fell so far behind that it was impossible to catch up. It wasn’t enough to win states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana; she had to win them by *huge* margins that just had no realistic chance of materializing. I admit that she started to show some strength near the end, but by then it was too late.
I wouldn’t worry about the Hillarybots here who are throwing their tantrums and threatening to vote for McCain. Look outside of the blogs like this and you’ll see that the vast majority of Hillary voters are rational people who are ready to unify the party and focus on beating McCain. And thank God for that.
Obama ’08
Yes, we can.
Yes, we did.
Yes, we will.

Okay, does no one proofread these things?
It’s voters’ fears and voters’ hopes not “voters fears” and “voters hopes.” Sheesh! As far as the article goes, I do think that the media had a lot to do with with shaping each candidate’s momentum. That said, I like both of them, and I’m holding out hope for an Obama-Clinton ticket.

I am a Hillary supporter now voting for McCain.
All 3 candidates come to the table with baggage. So all of the “he said, she said” is hard to tally. I do know is he may have voted against the war in Irag, but he also attended a madrazah (*sp) school while being raised in another country, and his father’s family is Muslim. Therefore, it makes since to me he would not vote for a war in Muslim Iraq based on his religious principles primarily. And, yes, I know for the last 20 years he was not attending Muslim services, but his next spiritual guide doesn’t sound much better than a madrazah leader…..
That being said, Europe is beseiged with issues regarding Muslim rights (won’t go into detail), we are starting to see that here. I don’t want to purposely invite more of those problems here.
While I am a Hillary supporter, I have always admired McCain in his own right. And I won’t have a problem voting McCain. I choose “patriotic” experience over “raised in another country” inexperience.
This is not “hate” or “sore loser” feelings. This is just a calm, logical,rational,reasonable, & humble acceptance. Hello Mr. President McCain!

I can’t believe the hate that i am hearing here, is this america? Are we so divided by petty differences that we can’t even try to come together for something? Hate is such that people say and act any kinda of way that some of you are acting only display your shoe sizes and not any form of IQ, my God what is wrong with you people? either way it goes, anything would be better than another 4 years of bush, and if you can’t see that, then i relly feel sorry for you and your mentality!!!!!!!!

I find it difficult to credit that many – if any – of those who claim to have backed Hillary are throwing their support to McCain. I’d wager that virtually all of the “Dems for McCain” posting here are GOP trolls – like Jan, who who is “determined to keep an unexperienced, (sic) liberal out of the White House.” Yeah, that rings so true coming from the mouth of a putative Clinton supporter. Better trolls, please…

This race can be parsed until the cows come home, but she ran neck and neck with him in the popular vote. He got the delegates, but she matched and possibly beat him with popular votes.
I think that her campaign didn’t understand the caucases, and I hope that process is clarified before the next election. One group shouting down and another, or holding caucases when some voters can’t attend are not democratic.
Not looking past Super Tuesday was a big mistake of the Clinton campaign. Even if she had taken them, you always have to try to anticipate the unexpected and the campaign was caught short and lost valuable time scrambling to catch up, but catch up she did in the popular vote.
Unfortunately for the Clinton campaign, the Obama campaign understood grassroots fundraising earlier and they seemed to organize at the community level with locals who understood the needs and ways of the area better than the Clinton campaign who brought in people to run things.
All in all, she split the votes with him. Why she should slink off without being able to demand that the issues her voters wanted be considered as the national campaign moves forward? He has the nomination. Give her a couple of days to decide how to move forward and to work out details.
His surrogates in the media and party leadership can cry ‘unfair’ but she lost in a close delegate race. If we didn’t have proportional splits of delegates we would be celebrating a different candidate tonight.

I can’t believe the hate that i am hearing here, is this america? Are we so divided by petty differences that we can’t even try to come together for something? Hate is such that people say and act any kinda of way that some of you are acting only display your shoe sizes and not any form of IQ, my God what is wrong with you people? either way it goes, anything would be better than another 4 years of bush, and if you can’t see that, then i relly feel sorry for you and your mentality!!!!!!!!

Hey did anyone notice that this guy has been Republican activist just trying to start a brawl with us. Please don’t give in to this and Unify the Democratic Party.
Matthew Dowd has been a campaign strategist in races throughout the country. In 30 years, Dowd has worked for Democrats such as the late Sen. Lloyd Bentsen and Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, and Republicans including Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and President George W. Bush, for whom he was chief strategist in 2004.

I made a whimsical comment about the catholic(white)priest.but the reality is/was he was really speaking the mindset of hrc.it is about her,just like the mindset of this administration is about them black and white.this transcends whether you are rascist or not.we the american people were mislead as a group.we need change.mccain can not bring this about…hes 71 years old.he is older than reagan was when he took office.the clintons had 8 years to make changes,they did not.they did do some things that made america and our security weaker.this current admin didnt do much either.all i know is that 2 years ago, a young white boy/man at 19 years of age died in a battle(war) that we could have prevented 16 years ago during the first gulf war.I’m a 44 year old black man and i saw his mother pack his belongings take a self portrait that he painted in high school in hinesville ga down.all she recieved for her only child dying in iraq was a flag and a tree planted on warriors walk on ft. stewart..man this is so much bigger than black and white or mccain and clinton.I’ve got 5 boys and I want them to have a life.a life better than the friends white and black who sacrificed their lives so that barbara and jenna and chelsea could prance and galavant around.I served.I was a republican and I’m black and the status quo is unacceptable.God Bless America and Barack Obama.

Hillary lost because the country is tired of bushes, clintons, more bushes….we have spent an entire generation under the mandate of two families, 28 years is enough. that is why Obama will not pick her as VP. I guarantee two things…Bill Richardson will be Obama’s running mate (he has real experience in international affairs AND the Hispanic vote), McCain will be a one term president because that was always his plan.

A quote from KISARITA-
“I can not believe that I am voting republican this election but I have no choice. Better a war overseas than to someone “god damn america” who will kiss up to our enemies until they are right on our shores”
- Are you kidding me? Do you know if your pastor/priest… no, your friends….no, your siblings… are gay? …on drugs? Can you dictate to any ADULT… who has there own mind, own train of thought, own moral values, …own depiction of freedom of speech? That was his pastor. NOT HIM! Please just STOP! My pastor may say something every other Sunday that raises my brow are causes me to look at him disoriented. I go to church to fellowship and receive a word from God, I then process this information to include or exclude it into my belief system based on my own personal relationship with God and my own moral values. These people have used this man to initiate their own platform, IGNORE THEM! Please stop judging this man on other peoples blunders. If we could do that, then we must assume Hilary is a push over for a powerful man because she didn’t leave Bill, and McCain is a “DubYa” worshipper!
LOL!!!
Why not talk to the people overseas, its better than just going RAMBO and killing innocents who desire the help. Hooray, we have a candidate who doesn’t have a secret agenda with this war, who wants to see our men and women at home with there families (not being blown to pieces are killing themselves). We SHOULD backup, regroup, and exclusively formulate tactics to ‘silence’ those specific targets that are of opposition. We are in a war we won’t win. Check your biblical history, this is a HOLY WAR, we are not suppose to be in the middle of this. BUT, since we are, we lose our sons, daughters, husbands, fathers! We are suffering high gas cost, bankruptcy, recession!
‘…right up on our shore…’ – They’re here!!!!!!
9/11 !!! DING! DING! DING!
But, America is the Land of the Free, race does not depict who’s a crazy terrorist or killer, so please don’t say we shouldn’t have let “them” in. Because, Timothy McVey(white)was born and raised here, the DC sniper(black)… born/raised, Jeffrey Dalmer(weirdo)….
WE NEED CHANGE! Let someone else have a chance to make a difference!

Good article! Hillary made several mistakes in her run and thats that. Obama choose to stay on the high road at all times which spoke volume. Now, his mom is white from kansas his dad black from kenya, his childhood was struggling but now he has risen out of nowhere to the table of almost every american and outsider-this is the american dream! he is like a freak of nature, Kennedy returns but he is coloured (and still nothing changes)-How could it happen? but it did An unlikely route to glory.
Now anger is inevitable to the racist, to the gender oriented and war loving persons, but oh that we could see what this proves that its all possible every bit of it. All need to read AMBER 8:08.Ron be careful. All those running to mccain u need to think and dont make decisions when you are angrey.

GET READY DEMS FOR ANOTHER 8 YEARS. REPUBLICANS ARE RIGHT WE ARE STUPID

There is no way Mrs. Clinton will ever join the “Church of the poisoned mind”. Racist liers. The media brought Mrs. Clinton down, the media is also reponsible for selling the Iraq war, the media people who contributed to the war campaing have the American soldiers and the Iraq people blood in their hands. How can you people live with yourselves. Again. “Those who make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities” Voltaire.

I am glad Obama won he deserved every bit of it. The problem with Hilary was her husband Bill people wanted to see her being able to stand on her own two feet which she couldn’t do. Another problem some people did not trust Hilary after what she went through with her husband and being that he was always there trying to support her that didn’t look too good, if she can’t take care of home how in the world could she do anything for the united states. Therefore that brings a problem of people feeling if they could trust her. As far as I’m concerned Mccain, Hilary are no different then Bush they want to keep things the way that they are and people are tired of that we need a change in the world. So I say it’s time to see what Obama has to offer and if he can change the world as he has planned to do then give him his props. People are mad at the fact that a black man finally got in office and just maybe a change will be made unstead of living like we been living. Thats how the world got like this in the first place because of Bush and all his false promises. People are in Iraq dying everyday for there so called country that Bush built he don’t care about them and there families he is a fake always has been and always will be in my book. Hilary gave off to many false promises as well and there was nothing there to prove that she could or wanted to change the world. I say give the man a chance before you tear him into pieces we don’t know what he has planned until we see what he has to offer. (Obama Rocks)he is tired of the world being backwards and I really believe he will change the world. Leave the man alone he has alot of mess to clean up after Bush why put someone else in office who is just as messy as Bush was which would of been Hilary. Mccain, Hilary, Bush are all for the rich people not the poor people. If your ready to struggle then vote for Mccain because that is exactly what you will be doing what we been doing all along struggling with high gas prices,lay-offs and etc.

I am not a political person and I don’t know who I will vote for. All I know is it will take a long time to fix the mistakes of the past and I honestly do not believe it can be done in a 4 year term. I do know I did not like Clinton in office and what started out as a great respect for Bush turned out to be a great dislike and I can’t wait for his exit. How can anybody fix the mess caused by the past. I guess the next President can’t be any worse. America needs a change quick. But who? With all the bantering and mudslinging are the American people getting an accurate picture of the candidates. Why can’t the press focus on the qualifications of the candidates so people like myself who don’t get to involved can get a more accurate picture. You sign on to a news website and it’s mudslinging, not what they can do. I read the papers, but I truly cannot determine who the better person would be based on qualifications. Every time a candidate says something it is analyzed and interpreted in the worst way. The press does not report facts, it reports gossip on most occasions.
My personal fear is that McCain is 71 years old. Keep that in mind when voting because the Vice President will be running this country for him. Obama, not against, not sure I am for yet. I do not oppose him becoming President even with his lack of experience. After all a fresh perspective may be what America needs. Hillary, she’s to arrogant for my taste, but that does not make her unqualified for the job, I just personally don’t like her. She could be good for our Country and she could worse. I have still not ruled her out.
What I don’t like is all the negative. Yes Hillary is a woman, who cares. Yes Obama is a 1/2 black 1/2 white, who cares. Sex and race have nothing to do with who will do a better job. Either one of them could surprise you. They both have a lot to bring to the table. Neither one could be any worse that what we have now.
Like with Bush, we thought we got the perfect President, and look what happened. It really does not matter what any of the candidates say in their speeches. Their politicians, they say what we want to hear so they can get our vote. Be wary of what you read. Remember, juicy gossip sells papers. Be sure to filter out the negative “gossip” and focus on what they can do. Decide for yourself. Do not follow others, make your own choice even if it’s not the majority vote. Be true to yourself weather it’s McCain, Obama, or Clinton. I always say go with your gut instinct, it’s usually right. Stop being swayed by all the negative things being said on web sites. It’s to easy to read this garbage and fall into the trap of hate and contempt.
Each candidate deserves respect for their accomplishments. It’s easy to sit here and talk trash about them, we are not in their shoes. They worked hard to get where they are today, show some respect. Give each of them a chance to prove themselves and in November make an educated vote, not a rash vote based on the biased opinions of others.
I am unsure and I really don’t like to vote, but this year I am going to read up on the candidates, I am going to listen, and I will vote. I only pray whomever is the next President does a better job than the last few.
Thanks for the forum.

Don’t forget, Barack Obama was the one who let the dogs out. And they ate that poor little kitty.

Both Obama and Clinton believed in Non Free Trade and both stands in the Middle Court of all debates; these are weak policies and allow extended campaign. Both wishes to protect the American livelihood, but both do not have clear policies going about to protect the work force in the long run becuse they contradict the economic theory of comparative advantage.
Obama is more likeable and serene; Clinton is too and dominating these strong characters may not give her the advantage to work closely with her peers; too forceful frightens the rest of the policy makers.
In view of these variances, Mccain stands a better chance for long term prosperity for the US but he should balance with creating jobs and security for the Americans and hence the world.

E-Z,
She Fussed too much and we want peace.

When judgement is informed by a base of hatred or frustration, some of the potential ways of moving forward to resolve problems and produce outcomes for the general good are hard to see.
If it is possible for Democrats to resist the tendency to vilify each other, our energy can be directed toward defining effective policies and governing positions.
We can work jointly tomorrow. Why wouldn’t we?

i agree with geraldine ferraro’s statement that ‘obama is lucky because he’s black…’ and for hillary to concede as his running mate is somewhat an insult to her intelligence. it’s like licking her own wound. imagine, treating her as a ‘domestic helper’in the white house if ever. asst. to obama who will do all the dirty job for him being well experienced and knowledgible. can you stomach that?? how would you feel???? let him do his own thing and let’s see what happens. hillary, ‘you could do better than that’. if it’s not meant for you, it’s not meant to be. it’s not the only thing in the world. taking the VP position is like a demotion to your prestigious title as being the former first lady of the country. enough is enough!!! at least… have an honorable exit. thank you for heeding my advice.

From the way I read this and if Iam wrong please forgive me … did any BLACKS vote for Hillary? Your all a joke and you dare to call me a racist … Hillary is a liar? Obama is a sain? I guess that 20 yrs of going to that church mean nothing, lol. He got out of the church when he had no need for the black vote, lol. Good luck if he makes it into the WH … the name is not going to be changed to the Black house to please you all.
Have a grat nite and call me anything you want … I am a proud American and Obama did not have to tell me that … oppps, I got it wrong … it was his wife that said it. LMBO

28 years under bushes and clintons.that is really too long.that boys name in my earlier comment was pvt.ziegler 3rd Id ft.stewart.He never got to smoke and dont exhale.he never got to hide behind his father in the texas national guard,or behind flower bearers in bosnia under sniper fire and all that make believe experience as first lady.he just got the sniper fire and the ied’s.so be racist or feminist or sexist or any other isms you would like to be while you can.be cause he laid down his young life for a belief in God and Country.Man the more I think about the young life wasted.Don’t vote for obama because he’s black.vote for him to bring those that are still alive home.ziegler didnt have a real life.no girlfriend to come home and marry…no kids..no grandkids for his mom.just what could have been and maybe’s…man this war sucks.vote obama

Hillary simply lost because she couldn’t hack it!
what a sore loser now she wants vice?
HA Ha
I pray not

I like many of my cohorts are donating (more) money to the Obama campaign. Bush in the past eight years has run this country into the ground in the same way he has run his past failed businesses into the ground. I don’t want another Republican with similar policies in office! He just doesn’t seem different enough. And, when are we going to get over Obama’s race? Jeeez, the man is as white as he is black, hellllooooo. Move on. I have much respect for McCain but my vote is going to Obama!!!!!

The media is a very powerful tool.They made this a Clinton / Obama race despite John Edwards having experience and sound ideas to move this country forward.It seems that hearing the same thing from more than one source makes it real to us.The media did not want Obama ,they wanted someone they thought Clinton could beat because McCain had a better popularity rating than Clinton.

Obama is the perfect candidate to ensure a Republican win!! They’ll cream him and his racist beliefs.
Funny, he’s wearing the flag on his lable now, resigned from his racist church after 23 yrs membership with a pastor who was like a family member, and a first lady who claims to have never been proud of the United States? Who are they kidding? Not me!! Without Hillary, Nobama doesn’t stand a chance.

The latest CA Field Poll last week shows that a significant majority of California Democrats would today vote for Obama over Hillary. A lot has changed in six months.
Regardless of the candidate, however, Americans are hungry for CIVILITY (not demonstrated on many posts here) and STATESPERSONSHIP!
Americans are tired of the last 16 years of bickering and “gotcha” politics.
Obama succeeded in part because he demonstrated moderation and hope and a new beginning across party lines. He almost didn’t succeed because of the hatred that comes from his own church. I grew up in the south and remember the same racist hate rhetoric–just from the other side of the spectrum.
I am open to voting for either candidate and hope the campaign provides us the info we need to know to make a wise decision. But I expect to see the “hate machines”–left and right– to emerge in the fall.
Most of these blogs are “AGAINST” candidates–we need voters and candidates who are “FOR” the common good. Issues are important, but no matter who wins, it will be a disaster to see hate mongering continue to dominate our politics. Opposing a candidate does not have to be “hating” the candidate, their character, integrity, intentions, or more.

The only reason why that lolipop won was because of all the propaganda all over the media. Congrats to all you sheep, guess you elected the ‘right man’. Oh well, thats politics for you.

White females are pissed that a Black male beat them for the chance to be President of the United states.
The way it usually goes
White male, white female,Black male, black female.
How dare he didn’t wait his turn.

Its been a long,long primary “season”.
I’m 64 and no, I didn’t support HRC. It wasn’t because I didn’t like her. Actually, I did. What I didn’t like was her mean spirited manner, Her “mis-spoke” re: her having to run from sniper fire. I also think it had to do with the way she looked for dirt and spread it. No one is perfect but no one should be so mean. I voted for Obama and will do so again in November. It’s time for a change. It’s time humility and peace entered the Oval Office. It’s time to see smiles instead of snarls. I was too young to vote for JFK. At that time one had to be 21 to vote. Now, one can vote at 18. I voted for every Democrat that ran since then. We’re praying for you, Barack Obama. It’s time. YES WE CAN.

Hillary stepped on Obama’s victory today which was historic. So much for Bill being the Black president.
I agree that if she becomes VP, Obama will have to have a food taster and watch his back. Clinton supporters went over the top and bruised Obama these past months.

HILLARY-a.k.a SORE LOSER!
I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT BAD BEHAVIOR SHE HAS EXHIBITED! SHE’S ACTING LIKE THE WIFE OF MACBETH!
CAN’T WIN SO KILL IT.

I am positive that the news (even the very pro-Obama CNN) has repeated the FACT that Clinton won the popular vote, even after giving Obama the non votes in Michigan (like they really voted for him when they voted for no one.. wtf?)
If she got the popular vote then she also would have gotten the big hidden candidates votes as they vote according to the popular vote.
This is a sham. Obama’s liberal army also did this for him in Clinton’s home state with Obama’s senate win (they disqualified and made the winning candidate back out so Obama would win).
He will be tried for treason within 45 days if he were elected. Along with Pelosi and many other Congressmen and women.
His Global Poverty Bill is against our Bill of Rights in so many ways and all the next President needs to do is sign it in.
I’m voting for McCain, at least he has a plan.

The comments I made at 1:14 have come true in all but one of the posts since then!

I have read so many bitter & angry comments here about both Obama & Hillary. What I haven’t read is what should have been here. The problems of this country will never be settled by one individual person, be they white, black, male, female or any other distinction you wish to make. We are all GOD’S CHILDREN. If we do not learn how to come together as one people under GOD with everyone’s best interest first instead of one individual interest first, we will never experience the change for the better that this country so desperately needs. Only together can this be accomplished. We can either make our lives better or destroy ourselves. Don’t let emotion make your choice. Use your brain and do what is best for your country each and every day of your life, not just at a voting booth. That is when you will see changes for the better.

Google Ed Rendell & Farrakhan
Please don’t don’t pick Rendell as the right wing has video of Rendell praising brother Farakhan.

I think of those commenting here are repubs trying to make the dems fight for ever and finally lose the presidency in nov. That cant happen. Dems aint enemies and we are going to vote for whoever wins the nomination. period.

we’ve all seen america as it is for the past 16 years. Look at the issues that we were faced with look at who was in power and the issues that were focused on compassion rules which side could run the white house using compassion it is better for a campbell to enter into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter into heaven. our work here is for the life to come which side could make moral decisions we all have faults who could have the least

let history repeat with the clintons of the 90′s.go renegade and run independent Hillary clinton!

Which one of you white folks do I call for my 50 acres and a mule. After reading a good portion of the post from today this is the attitude that I’m taking. I understand that you don’t like the man because of the color of his skin. It couldn’t be for any other reason, because you don’t have any reason to speak about him in the tone that you have used. I believe that there are some things in America that will never change such as racism. I haven’t read all of the post, but I suspect that one of you have or will refer to Senator Obama as a “N.I.G.E.R” or maybe that’s what you meant by communist. Not one black man has ever caused America to go to war. Not one black man has ever caused a deficit or recession in America. Not one black man has ever enslaved an entire people so that they could profit. Not one black man has ever intimated or alienated an entire world. Not one black man has ever promised to take care of a nation and failed time and time again. Do I have to go on? As always…”they smile up in your face, all the time they want to take your place, the back stabbers”. Too bad we don’t have elections where the candidates race and gender are disguised and you had to vote based on the only the issues brought to the table, their contributions and background.

To Martin. Obama’s wife is already planning on repainting the WH. I have this great fear that it will turn into the Black House and the walls will be covered with zebra skins, black/white rugs, jungle spears, whatever else .. This is no racial slur either. It is just a gut feeling and one that feels our country is in for a heap of trouble. I can see the repatriotism act evolving soon, so the Blacks can finally get a paycheck for what was done to them decades ago = slavery . There will be college funds and funds for this and that , and all for the minority, thus not for white folks due to because of what our ancestors did to slaves years ago. We will have a divided nation, maybe all of whites will be put on reservations just for hoots and holler ? I don’t trust this fool as far as I can throw him. No racial pun intended.. Never trust a bamboozler If we’ve been bambozzled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bambozzler. The bambozzler has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. It is not bigotry to be certain we are right, but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong. Without something to hate, we should lose the very spring of thought and action. I believe You are your work. Don’t trade your stuff of your life time, for nothing more than dollars. That’s a rotten bargain. Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend was saying of him behind his back. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has to get it’s pants on! There is no way to peace; peace is the answer.

To all of you out there who are concerned that OBAMA is black and you should be afraid, you are wrong,,,Do not judge someone because of their skin color,,,He is 1/2 white also,,,,
If you want to be concerned that he thinks the GOVT has all the answers and we must raise taxes , then this is a legitimate reason to be concerned,,,
OBAMA was always polite and educated throughout the campaign,,,Hilliary was a sleeze, ran a sleezy terror campaign and now is trying to force herself on the ticket,,,
IF OBAMA IS GOING TO TAKE HILLIARY, HE BETTER DUCK AS OBAMA WILL BE SHOT BY ONE OF HER HENCEMEN,,,lOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO 50 PEOPLE IN ARKANSAS,,,WHERE IS MR FOSTER??
OBAMA will surround himself with educated people like himself ,,this is not an issue,,,BUT BESIDES PULLING OUT THE TROOPS FROM IRAQ, WHAT ELSE WILL HE DO/// raise taxes and have wasteful govt?
McCain needs to demonstrate that he is a true maverick like he used to be,,,
At least we will not have anymore Bushes or Clintons,,,
LET THE MADNESS BEGIN

Hillary and I are the same age and I respected her up until this speech (which should have been her last). But, oh no she can’t give up the power, and for her supporters to make the remark that this should have been her day! for what? wait up and smell the coffee. This was a historic moment but she still wanted the limelight. Any one that suggest she sould be VP is crazy. All she’s ever been was the wife of a President, thats all. stop dreaming. Years ago Black men had to step off the sidewalks whenever a white woman walked by, but this is the 21st century and I hope Obama do not select this woman as his VP, and if he do so, I will still vote but, for John McCain. This WORKING-CLASS BLACK WOMAN will not vote for Hillary.

Everybody has to stop creating more hatred. Bush government has done it enough already. Whether Obama is fit or not fit for the position, definitely Mccain is the worst case. If Hillary would have won the nomination, you did not want the Obama supporters join you and support her. Yes or No? It goes same way for other side. At the beginning everybody was expecting her to win. I tdid not happened. Get over it and think big. Gas price, Outsourceing, Job cuts, Iraq war, House forclosures,… How many more want me to count for you. Grow out of this inter fighting and fight with real enemy.

Too bad we don’t have elections where the candidates race and gender are disguised and you had to vote based on the only the issues brought to the table, their contributions and background.

Here are a couple of imagines for you:
Obama is good looking, and a jock.
Hillary didn’t make cheerleading but she was Class President. Never quite a 60′s “Hippie”. Someone who could help you with your homework…cause she got A’s….when you got C’s or never attended college at all.
Or she is the mean school Principal who didn’t like you, and/or the Mother that didn’t think you were good enough to date her daughter.
This is where people are taking themselves, but will never admit it. And that is a imagine that she projects for alot of white men.
Funny, but it is more jealousy than it is racism. As the the reality is that most whites who won’t vote for him because he’s black have never in fact had an experience where they were harmed by someone black.
Maybe they just lost the basketball…or some other guy got the date.
Mc Cain has the typical dyed blonde trophy wife with a trust fund, and is a former Viodin drug abuser. But he represents the old guard which is safe…be that Bush or who ever…he’s old. And for some he is still safe…and holds their interests.
An intelligent well educated Ivy League black man is new for some people…particulary to be someone in charge. And he can play basketball.
Sometimes people are drawn to those who are most familiar to you.
P.S. One of the most admired men in the world, or at least in the US…for the last 40 years…is a Muslim.
SURPRISE! That would be Mohammed Ali.

You, Proudlibrul, The only reason you haven’t voted for a republican candidate before as a democrate is because a black democratic candidate has never face a white republican in the past in GE. Question yourself and confirm my statement.

Hillary gave too much hope and too high estimate to her husband Bill Clinton, but he has been damaging her campaign since day one to day end. Hillary should not be the VP for Obama, but reserve the chance for 2012 against McCain’s mid-term.

Jeez, Matthew, what part of THE WAR do you not understand?

It’s the war, stupid.

IT AIN’T OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER… I THINK McCAIN IS HAVING A BALL NOW. WHY? IF HILLARY DROPS OUT OF THE RACE, WHERE WILL HER VOTERS GO? OF COURSE THEY WON’T VOTE FOR OBAMA.SO, TO WHOM ARE THEY GOING TO GIVE THEIR VOTES – TO McCAIN. HELELUYAH!!!
111

Lest they put forth their hand and eat from the tree of life.
THANK GOD WE ALL DIE IN DUE TIME.

Wow what a load of tripe! The Media should be happy that they have just handed the election to McCain. Obama won’t be getting any more offers of pillows as they spoofed on SNL. Middle America will elect the next President(sorry iPod users-you still have not elected anyone since Kennedy) It is great that the internet has got so many people excited about a Primary but the reality is that typically women over 65 have elected many of our Presidents and these women don’t feel Hillary’s voice was heard over the Obama Media hype machine. Even poor Edwards(the “other white meat”) could not get a parking ticket from the media while he was running. Too bad all the supposed Super-Delegates who were riding the fence will have to say why they took so long in deciding until it was all but assured that Obama won. This does not show confidence that even the super-delegates thought Obama was the guy. Democratic Party stinks to high heaven of everyone pandering and playing politics. It makes people like me think that McCain does not sound like such a bad choice because at least the guys votes for what he believes in and not what he thinks will get him the most votes. PS-for those who don’t know-it is much easier as a freshman Senator to vote against a War that nearly everbody else in the Democratic Party voted for. It was not really such a rebellious vote considering no fall-out for him at all to vote this way. You better believe that if Obama was going to lose some constituents he would have voted otherwise. I don’t buy his Change campaign because other than that one vote against the Iraq War-What other examples can Obama point to? The answer-NONE! Vote McCain-at least he has been to Iraq! I don’t think Obama talking to the Terrorist plan is brilliant diplomacy but actually sheer niavete. Maybe Kennedy should have just sat down with the Bad Guys during the Cuban Missile Crisis too-Oh I am am sorry does the internet generation with iPods even know their history? Give me a Walkman anyday!

The real reason Clinton lost was due to the corrupt DNC committee who gave delegates to Obama that he did not earn. This has been the most corrupt election on the part of the media and the DNC in 50 years. McCain will win. Americans are not going to be fooled by electing a socialist/marxist/communist.

i sincerely agree with Mathew Dowd,America wanted a good change and hence an experienced MOTHER like Clinton but her compaign strategies didnt work out well because Obama is also not simple,he made good use of the loopholes in Clintons strategies to win over,now for him to go through till the end,a coalation is needed by making Clinton the VP-this will give them the power to ouster the old prisoner from active politics,BARAKA OYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I was also against the war from the beginning. Does that make me qualified to be president? Of course not. Like Obama, I did not have all the information that Congress had available to them and I did not have the responsibility of making a decision.
Obama disowned his grandmother, his pastor/friend and his church. What makes anyone think he won’t disown the American people if elected?
The DNC wants him as president because they know he will do exactly as he’s told to do. On the other hand, Hillary would stand up and fight for what she believes in and she would fight for the people of this great country…which could, God forbid, expose corruption in the democratic party. After listening to so many of Obama’s speeches and sound bites, I’ve yet to hear that he believes in anything except change. Could someone please, please tell me what he’s going to change? The only thing I’ve noticed is that he changes his mind every time he speaks. He lists all the problems but offers no solutions. If one of my employees used that approach, he or she would be looking for a new job.
Does anyone care that he voted “present” for almost every vote in the state senate? What kind of change is that? I guess maybe it’s pretty hard to be criticized if you don’t take a stand on anything?? For those of you who aren’t familiar with his political history in Illinois, once he was elected he failed to take a stand on anything he supposedly believed in. He has no substance, no back bone. We need more than someone to be “present” in the White House. We need more than a handsome young man with a preacher’s cadence. We need someone with wisdom, experience, and strength of conviction. Even though I disagree with McCain on many issues, he is far less scary than Obama. At least McCain will function from a foundation of principles rather than being tossed about by the self-interest of certain party leaders.
The fact that he could win an election without winning the popular vote is an assault on democracy and it makes this country a mockery to the rest of the world. This is a very sad day for America.

I have read several blobs about the Obama/Clinton race for the presidency. I am still waiting for someone to tell me what experience does anyone have to be the president of the united states. Being governor of a state is a far cry from being the most powerful leader in the world. No one has any experience being the president of the united states unless u are running for a second-term. So to me, being elected president is on the job training at best. Also some of the our most beloved presidents have had the same amount of experience as Obama. For example, JFK spent 13 years in public office between the MA House of Reps and US Senate and Abe Lincoln spent 14 years in the US House of Reps before becoming president. Obama has spent 12years in public office between Ill Senate and US Senate. My question to all of the Hillary Clinton supporters is can she stand on her own with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who by the way only spent 14 years in public office between being attorney general and governor of Arkansas before he became president? And Hillary only spent 8 years in public office being Senator of NY. So the truth is she had the least experience. Being first-lady does not mean you have experience.

My understanding is that America’s foreign and domestic policy is under siege.The gov wants to paint a different picture of the situation.It would have been either obama or hillary in order to portray this change,and of course the further you seem to be from the current system,then the better.Obama presented all this and more.My question is,will this this wave hold beyond nomination,because if it doesn’t then America and the world is worse off than it is with Bush.I keep my fingers crossed!

More Interesting Reading:
Under the Independence Constitution of Kenya, Obama became a Kenyan citizen on December 12, 1963. He has never renounced his Kenyan citizenship. On his senate web site, Obama tap dances around his own dual nationality when discussing his father. Obama obviously knows, because his father told him, that he also held/holds Kenyan nationality.
Once again, we find Barry O concealing fascinating information about his identity. There is nothing unusual about dual nationality. Indeed, ancient Roman Law doctrines of jus sanguini and jus soli come into play, because both Kenya and the U. S. recognize dual nationality. Once again, the issue is not “legality.” The issue is the cover-up; Obama’s concealment of his own identity. From us, and most of all from himself.
Obama was also registered in both of the Jakarta schools he attended as a citizen of Indonesia. Does he also enjoy Indonesian citizenship? Inquiring minds want to know.

Mariann, you are wondering “why more people don’t come out and say they won’t vote for a BLACK man?” Well, I have the answer for you. It is because not too many people left in the country with a NARROW and UNUPDATED BRAIN. This question of underestimating and trying to humiliate black people is a thing of the past. I mean way past. They have proven what they are capable of. So, you might consider revising your brain. This color thing is OVER and you LOSE. so give up, loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of HRC supporters are whinning about Obama being sexist, racist and the media catering to him. My question is if Hilary had won and was called a sexist or racist and had 90% of the white votes would you say all the negatives applied to her. She got the mojority of women. She got the majority of the “Blue Collar White Working Class”, “the uneducated”. She also got the majority of Chatholic, Hispanic’s and elderly women, does that make her racist or descrimnating towards Blacks or men. I am sure you don’t think so. However, did you hear Barak Obama whinning about that? No! You always heard him speak highly of HRC. He always showed her respect, and during the debate he help her save face when put on the spot about her discrepancies. Now, what did HRC show for gratitude? Nothing! She was an ingrate! Instead, she kept bashing, and bashing and bashing until even those who might have supported her decided not to, and I do not blame them.
Some would like to say because they do not support Barak Obama that his supporters consider them a bigot. Well, I say, I don’t believe you reall like HRC as much as some say, but you rather support her than to support a man who happens to be Black. What then does that make you? Go figure!
I do believe that those who supported HRC was more a Black hater than a pro-Clinton.
What happen to what is good for the American people. What HRC and her supporter and the women who supported her did throughout this primary was the same this country has always done to Blacks, Asians, Hispanics and Latino’s, Arabs and others. It was not a Black White thing it was a difference of being White. You all would have acted the same if it was another opponent that wasn’t White and came that close.
The issue is, you want more of the same than to share with anyone that is considered a subondinate to the dominant ruler. Well guess what you the so called “Blue Collar White Working Class” AKA “the uneducated” are a subordinate group incase you did not know that! I am considered that also, and I am Black.

Obama is a superb, clinton need self control and positive thinking

I wonder why American people want to loose there chance of Change this time because of racism. I don’t care what they said about OBAMA, but we need a change, and it’s only the Change we can bank on.
You can not send the same people that spoiled this Nation to Washington and expect change.
We need a new generation president that can understand our need and that need is Change, because if we don’t change, this nation will continue going from bad to worst. USA family need to unite together as one Family. one more thing i want us to keep in mind: if we vote for McCain, War may go on from Iraq to the world, and the more the war, the more you pay tax, the more you loose your chance, the more this nation is going backward. I don’t care if I’m white, we need a Change, and its only the Change we can believe in.
Any democrat who does not vote for Obama, is a SADIST, and you will have your price to pay in 4 to 8 years times.

One thing that has failed to be mentioned is the “air” of entitlement that Clinton conveyed. This is only one of the numerous subliminal factors that just turned off a lot of people as the process continued. We all have probably had acquaintances that did nothing particularly or specifically “wrong” but just seemed to rub us the “wrong” way, in a distasteful manner.
Clinton, in the beginning, wasn’t asking humbly for a vote of confidence. She portrayed the arrogance of a forgone conclusion. Until, the tides turned. When her humility first flickered from “surprising losses”, it came off as weakness and manipulation.
As time wore on, Clinton created a scenario which required her to be always more on the defensive. And, Clinton on the defensive often became offensive or condescending (even more so than usual).
She proved how difficult it is to win with such attitudes and behavior, even as an opening favorite.
To the conspiracy theorist regarding the DNC leadership favoring Obama, even if it were true, this would say a lot about the behind the scenes perspectives of those who would be required to work with Clinton as President. This is her personality flaw if she created an atmosphere of non-support from such key players.
For those who cry about Fl or Mi:
This is a failure of those respective states Democratic Leadership. There are consequences to all actions. They KNEW ahead of time.
It is unfair for Obama to honor the DNC position and not campaign in either state (as all were told these states would not count), while removing his name from the Michigan ballot entirely (as all were told that these states would not count), and later be faced with the prospect that all delegates would go to Clinton. How absurd is that?
Clinton did not object to the punitive sanctions until she finally realized that she was at an ever growing disadvantage and needed to scramble for delegates from any source. Where is the integrity in this? She was LUCKY to even get what she got “given” to her in direct contradiction to the original agreement.
And, finally, the DNC cannot bid to run the country again until they can run the party.
By the way, The United States of America is actually a Republic and not a true Democracy.
So, do not complain about the flaws in our “Democracy” as they do not exist.

I can see there have been many Republicans here saying their Democrats and that they’re voting for John McSame. Any Democrat who actually votes for McSame is most likely to be from the South. A vote for McCain is a vote for more Bush with a bad temper and a bad memory. What a worse off America,vote McSame and reap what you sow.

obama is so great, he inspires racism, sexism, ignorant, arrogance and naivete from his “supporters”…….sort of like george w. bush supporters….

I am supporting Senator Clinton because I know she is the best candidate and is the only candidate who can be the best President and Commander-in-Chief……after November 4th, I will be able to sleep well and look my son in the eyes and know I stood by my principles for his best interest….how about you?

You know those who want to jump ship,jump! This Obama will win without you.
Let’s look at this from another perspective.
1. Hillary has the elderly women
1. Barak has the young
2. Hillary has the women, white blue collar men Hispanics
2. Barak has the majority of Black women,educated white men and Blacks
3. Hillary has the elderly women, white blue collar men and women
3. Barak has the youth, marjority Black women, White educated men, the majority of Blacks and some all the catagories of HRC group and all her top supporters now.
Those who want to jump, go right ahead because when the DEM’s got in before they did not have have the new turn outs from this primary, so therefore it can be won without the handful of bigots. There are honest people in every race and catagory. Besides the Catholics that voted for HRC would have jumped ship on her come GE. You know the Rush L. group that help push her along. Besides, I have a question for the Hispanics and Latinos what did Bill do for you when he was president? The he see to that your votes start counting in the GE or left it as it is? Duh uh! Any of you in the class of the poor. When Bill reform the welfare are you better off? Did he help what he considered the working class,or did he consider the working class then $250,000 income the working class. HRC say she will fight for the working class,but her working class figures are higher than Obama $70,000 and under income. She never said she would help the poor the one’s in poverty. Well guess what at what income do you consider poverty? If you make $20 hour with a family, then you are in poverty. Healthcare is always about family with kids,but what about the single individuals without kids who can’t afford anything. If they lose there job they get no assistance with medical or anything because it’s just them. There are a lot of people out here suffering along because of a lost of income,yet too young to retire and too old to get another job, but can’t get assistance because of no dependents. She does not intend to help those just the working class. She did not talk about helping the middle class until she was losing. She never once thought of herself as an elite, but she’s a millionare speaking about the working class. Come on!!! What do she really know about struggling other than suffering of man issues? She can fill up her tank any time. She always has and will be medically covered. She lives in several different homes while some are losing just one. She just throwed away $11 million and say she knows our pain. Give me a break. Go jump if you are going to jump, and jump quick so we can stop hearing your bickering and let our party heal.

Simply the DNC was hellbent on pushing Obama through, because the media lovefest. Also Pelosi wants to be the only #1 woman in DC. So much that they STOLE HRC votes from her.
I would never vote for the weaklink, lying, cheating, manipulative Obama. But since the DNC gave him her votes I WILL BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN in Nov.
The DNC defied the will of the Democratic people.

wiser,throughout the debates there was plenty of talk about specific changes whenever he could get around the interruptions and personal attacks.iwas originally for clinton but the more she tried to push qualifications that were not her strong point,the more igot to hear obama’s message.wiser is a strong name to live up to:receive info with an open mind and give it with the same

Hillary lost because she and her high-paid advisors ran one of the worst campaigns in history. I mean, HOW on earth can you lose a 30 point lead, spend $15,000 for doughnuts, and think that California was a winner take all state, and I didn’t mention that Hillary’s an extremely polarizing and decisive figure as well. The only person in that family with class and dignity seems to be Chelsea. Thank GOD the Clinton’s are on their way OUT!

I have spent the last three hours reading every single post on this site. I am in tears. It doesn’t matter who I am supporting. What matters is that I am a citizen of this country who feels ashamed to be so if this is how Americans really still feel about one another. Insults, racism, uneducated comments, hate, anger… I won’t go on, you are all reading it and/or writing it so you know of what I speak. I think that if any of the candidates you spoke of, past or present, were to read the posts on this site they would be truly disheartened. Some of you speak thinking you are supporting your candidate when in truth they would cringe at your words. I thank those of you who at least tried to speak in a way that provided some optimism, some hint at a desire for unity, a hope that this nation can still be healed. But reading the words here make me feel as though we are moving further and further away from this possibility. I am a white/black/biracial/woman/child loving/baby loving/ trying to be green/trying to carry my weight/trying to learn/trying to educate/ trying to be strong/humble/loving/beauty appreciating/occasionally angry/more often happy/ but increasingly concerned AMERICAN. Please can we try to remove the lenses of hate from our eyes, the fountains of filth from our mouths, and try to make this country and this world a BETTER place by contributing in a positive manner.
I would challenge most of you to copy the words that you wrote and paste them into an email to someone who is directly linked to the candidate of your choice, someone who really understands their views. In those emails, ask your candidate through their representative , how they feel about your words. I would imagine that many of those emails would be returned to with responses asking you not to continue along the direction you have chosen. By pointing fingers, name calling, and making false statements (due to lack of knowledge or just out of anger) we are doing to each other what our worst enemies would have us do–Killing ourselves slowly with a deadly virus called hate.
I know who I want to win in 2008, but regardless of who does, this country and it’s citizens need to get it together and find a path toward reconciliation.

With the ways things are going now, i hope the America that i see on TVs and read will not become like Zimbabwe that i know in Africa. I am an African and still find it difficult that party supporters decided to switch to another party all cos Obama has won the presidential ticket to contest for the No. 1 man in the USA.
Could it be cos he is black or cos of his background or his middle name or what???
i used to think Americans are UNITED like they say, but clear to me now that all is propaganda to deceive the world that you guys are united. UNITED-my foot. Stop fooling us, AMERICA, the world is watching and every decision you take will yield a result.-GOOD or BAD.
United States of America indeed.

To A_Moderate_Perspective. You know I do not agree with you about Hillary, but I must say I can truly admire your assessment and accept your reason for your belief in Hillary. I do not like her personnally, but I respect how you reached your decison. If everybody was like that it would be no problem in accepting defeat.
I am hoping for Obama because I weighed the same before choosing. I was for Hillary at first then I listen to Obama. I agreeded with Obama. After seeing Hillary beginning to lose to Obama and saw the real her come out (she did not fine her voice she decided to show herself) I disliked her tactic’a and feared for our country.
However, I would have considered also a Republican also had it been someone other than someone possing as a conservative that is just an elitist. McCain to me is another Bush. They were hand in hand a lot until they decided he should play politics and distance himself from Bush, but I am not fool that easily.
I am more conservative than I am libral, but the right republicn must get in for me to vote for. That is the values of a conservative and not oil and war.

It beggars belief how delegates accept, forgive and endorse racist muslim junior senator Barack Hussein Obama who hasn’t even fulfilled his senatorial duties to those who got him there. Nor has he proven his patiotism in any shape or form. On the contrary, he said that he will side with the muslims if he had to chose… and he will meet our ememies without any pre-conditions.
Thankfully the people’s chance will come in November…. and they will know what is best for their country. And it won’t be Barack Hussein Obama.
PS: I believe that anyone aspiring to the white house should be “independently” tested for illegal drug use. It will be unsafe to have a junky cocaine addict near the nuke button.

Retrovvision,
Your comments are actually going to result in more Obama converts. Few Democrats or even fewer Americans for that matter wants to be associated with your views.

The British playwright William Congreve said, “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.”

dude, you get paid to spout this garbage?
its all about the iraq, period.

“In fairness, all he offered on issues is eloquent speeches.”
Obama once explained in an interview that he deliberately changed his campaigning style early in the campaign because there were complaints that he was coming across as too wonkish. He was losing the audience by being too long on details. That was one of the complaints against Gore and Kerry. Obama had to adjust to a more short-winded mode of speaking.
If you want to see the substance of the issues he eloquently speaks about, visit his website and select the Issues link.

no matter who wins,the country is going to slide into a depression,chaos and social disorder.we are like a sailboat without anyone at the helm.soaring gas prices will bring us to our knees.obama and his democrates will tax us into the poor house with their socalist programs.no matter who wins the flood gates will be open to the 3rd world.people will not stand in bread lines like in the 30′s.we are more interested in band aides instead of a cure.drink the cool ade and buy a scooter,we are going to be just another 3rd world garbage heap.

Ken Blackwell – Columnist for the New York Sun
It’s an amazing time to be alive in America . We’re in a year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter over 70. The next president of America will be a first.
We won’t truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won’t arrive where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender. Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his policies and his politics.
The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now the frontrunner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper look at him. Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He’s not. He’s the next George McGovern. And it’s time people learned the facts.
Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.
Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he’s not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant.. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America . But let’s look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial ‘beauty.’
Start with national security, since the president’s most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists – something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the 1940s. Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.
Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on ‘the rich.’ How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.
Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, ‘All praise and glory to God!’ but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have ‘hijacked’ – hijacked – Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he refused to vote against a statewide ban – ban – on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francis c o values, not Middle America values.
The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don’t start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His vision of ‘bringing America together’ means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.
But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and – yes – they’re talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama’s radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.
It’s time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of firsts, let’s first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.
Subject: Kind of scary, wouldn’t you think Remember–God is good, and is in time, on time every time
According to The Book of Revelations
the anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??
I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet…do it! If you think I am crazy,. I’m sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the ‘unknown’ candidate.

This tune dedicated to the Bill & Hillary Campaign Legacy.
So long sad times, go long bad times….we are rid of you at last……cause…..Happy days are here again!

Give credit to whom credit is due. Obama is an exceptional candidate. Just think about setting up political apparatus in less six months and out performed the Clintons’. He is the only candidate without financial problem in 2008 US primary. If any body think it’s an easy job to do so let him or her run for the smallest post in his/her community. I’m thrilled by his achievement.

Jozy wrote yesterday evening: this guys opinion stinks – and whatelse – he played for both teams (repub and demo)
go figure some loser would write this garbage” Gosh, could the fact that “he played for both teams” be considered UNBIASED?
What a maroon.

Now what? Over 17 million voters voted for Clinton, over 17 million voters voted for Obama. Does this mean one candidate has won the mandate of democratic voters?
The question now becomes can the party now combine these voters into one vote. Obama cannot win with just his supporters and any realist knows this. Clinton and Obama will now have to talk about how to win over the support of Clinton’s supporters. This is politics and behind closed doors the negotiating will begin.
The real difference between these candidates is one has won the endorsement of the far left, while the other has won the moderates. These are real differences for the common voter and Obama will have to find a way to appeal to the moderate side before he can expect to win over those constituents.

anyone remember the story of the ten brides in the bible? . the story of hillary clinton can be liken to the 5 unprepared brides. she was only looking at the short term while obama is looking at the long term. clinton only prepared for 2 months of primaries while obama prepared for the wosrst case scenario. uhm!!!!. what a great lesson to learn from this election.

The Clintons —– BOTH of them —- are, metaphorically, standing on the sea-shore trying to hold back the tide. HER “campaign” is still going this Wednesday morning. This pushiness for VP [whether she wants it or not] is despicable. He should reject this nonsense out of hand.
That is what happens when one has no class and is self-absorbed with an attitudinal orientation of entitlement.

Matthew– you forgot about “it’s the war, Stupid!” The Clintons began losing this race back in October of 2002!

You say it had little to do with her gender? Yet you say the people were looking for someone soft and mothering and she gave them someone tough. As a woman, if she had appeared “soft” it would have been taken as a sign of weakness: she had to show her strength to be taken seriously. She was damned if she did and damned if she didn’t.
We’ll see how a soft and mothering approach works in dealing with Iran, North Korea, and others. I believe we’ll find we need someone tough, like Hillary. The Democratic Party elite have shot the party in the foot once again.

Give Obama the respect! The truth is he played a better game! He had a plan, for the lonterm. She had a short-term game. It like have Jordan, S.O’Neil, Coby Bryant on won team, my 17 year old bother, my mother, and myself on the other. If Jordan, Byrant, and O’Neal start fighting about how is the best…my brother, my mom, and I know we sucks…will will just start walking to the basket and try to shot, some drop and other don’t. By they are still fighting and we are still taking turns shooting. Hillary spent a lot of time about “her” she is the best. And Obama was working the grassroots, taking it one state at a time…HE won!

Millions of Americans will be going to work today and discuss why this campaign is not over. What is the purpose for dragging it out?
Instead of this anonymous ranting on the blogs, we need to clear the air and have frank conversations with our friends, families, and coworkers to get to the root of all this hate and divisiveness. I have never had anyone yet express direct to me any of the extreme views I am reading here.
Let’s come out of the closet. We are no longer talking with each other, we are talking at each other. This is ridiculous.

HILLARY YOU GO GIRL HAS A POINT TO WHAT SHE HAS COMMENTED ON.
IF WE DONT SEE IT ON THE TELEVISION, THERE ARE WHITE PEOPLE OF THE USA THAT IS BEING BEAT ON, ADULTS AND CHILDREN BEING RAPED, BURGLARY’S, ROBBERIES, MUGGINGS, PURSE SNATCHINGS, KILLINGS, THEY KILL THEIR OWN KIND, DRUG SMUGGLING, DRUG DEALINGS, THE BLACKS ARE DOING THIS ALL THERESELVES, IF ANYTHING THEY STARTED IT AND THEN THEY GOT THE WHITE PEOPLE THAT HANG WITH THE BLACKS INVOLVED IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED STUFF. IF THE BLACKS DIDNT BRING IT THE WHITES WOULD NEVER OF INCLUDED THEIRSELVES IN IT. THE WHITES WERE SHOWN THIS ILL MANNERED BEHAVIOR BY THE BLACKS. WE DONT NEED TO FOLLOW IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS, WE THE WHITE NEED TO LEAD NOT FOLLOW. WE DONT NEED TO FOLLOW FROM A BLACK PRESIDENT REPRESENTING OUR COUNTRY. ALSO, THE BLACK PERSON IS WHAT BROUGHT AIDS TO OUR COUNTRY, A BLACK MAN WENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO AFRICA AND HAD SEX WITH A AIDS INFECTED MONKEY AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE USA AND HAD UNPROTECTED SEX WITH A BUNCH OF FEMALE INDIVIDUALS AND THAT IS HOW AIDS WAS BROUGHT ABOUT TO OUR COUNTRY. THEY ARE SICK, DISGUSTING, DISCRIMINATING INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED TO GO AWAY, FAR, FAR, FAR, AWAY.
NEED I SAY MORE.

WHY SHOULD THE USA VOTE A BLACK PERSON FOR PRESIDENT TO BEGIN WITH. WE NEVER HAD ONE IN THERE YET. SO LETS SEE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?? IT MEANS THAT THEY ARE WORTHLESS AND MEANINGLESS. THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR OUR COUNTRY EXCEPT BRING MORE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE GOVERNMENT AND EVERYTHING. WE DONT NEED THEM IN THERE. THERE IS ENOUGH THAT THEY ARE RUINING NOW IN THIS WORLD. THE WHITE POPULATION IS GOING DOWN TO SHREADS, IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS THE WHITE POPULATION IS GOING TO BE NOTHING. BECAUSE THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD BY THEN ARE GOING TO BE MIX BREEDS. PATHETIC ISNT IT. AND GUESS WHAT THE WHITE MAN WONT STAND UP TO THEM, BECAUSE THE BLACK MAN YELLS RACISM. BUT IT IS OKAY FOR THE BLACK TO DO ALL THIS SH*T TO THE WHITE AND NOTHING IS SUPPOSE TO BE SAID. WANNA KNOW WHY, BECAUSE THE BLACK WILL CALL IT RACISM. IF ANYONE IS RACIST IT IS THE BLACKS, NOT THE WHITES. WE JUST KNOW HOW AND WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT. AND THAT IS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, ASSAULT, DRUGS, AND THEY ARE WORTHLESS HUMAN BEINGS. NOTHING GOOD TO BRING TO THIS WORLD AT ALL. THE AFICANS OVER IN AFRICE DONT CONSIDER THE BLACKS OVER HERE IN THE USA AFRICAN AMERICANS, THE AFRICANS CALL THE BLACKS OVER HERE N*GGERS. THAT IS WHAT THE ARIFICANS CONSIDER THEM. THE AFRICANS DONT EVEN LIKE THE BLACKS OVER HERE AT ALL BECAUSE OF HOW AND WHAT THEY ARE ALL ABOUT. SO WHY VOTE FOR A BLACK PERSON TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT, THAT I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND.

To the single, extremely racist user posting blatant falsehoods (“Obama does not say the pledge because it has God in it”) and the numerous attempts at grouping minority crime with all black people, I encourage you to get the hell off of this blog.
You’re not even trying to hide the fact that you’re making new names to post additional false information and racist rants. Seriously, please stop. That’s just wrong.
Jrenkx, I certainly agree with you. Honest discourse is what we need, and I believe it is what we will have in the next few months. Safe to say that some people aren’t too interested in listening, but they never were.

Mr. Dowd could have added to the list Senator Clinton’s constantly changing message and temperament. After she started to fall behind she seemed to be adopting new positions to suit the moment. The changes we saw over the months were unsettling and the personality we saw last night was very disturbing.
Maybe some professional should review her taped appearances over the past 8 months. I would expect to see more consistency from a presidential candidate.

Hillary has the best qualifications!!

To Hillary Supporters:
I understand that this is a trying and painful time. I would feel much like you do if Barack had lost – but you have to put those hurt feelings aside for the good of the country! Voting for McCain is cutting off the Party’s nose to spite its face.

Lol. I as a black man am proud of Obama and this Country. When I see comments like those posted by White power, and goonies. I’m not shocked or appalled. Rather I’m amused…..Oh yea…..AND I LOVE IT!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Hillary ran a good race, but she lost fair and square. Both candidates encountered racism, and sexism respectively. But, they both regardless of this hard fought campaign would advance the same programs and policies. Anybody telling themselves differently are lying to themselves. Now is the time to unify and take this Country wear it needs to go. Lol.
Don’t Hate. Appreciate. Obama ’08.

Kind of scary, wouldn’t you think Remember–God is good, and is in time, on time every time

Hillary supporters,
Please go to Hillary website or write letter requesting her to run as an Independent candidate. She has nothing to lose! Why Hillary and her supporters have to stay with a party that can no longer be trusted! Let them go to hell with their own stupidity!

All of you Democrats voting for McCain I hope you don’t have any sons, I hope you can live with yourself when your Son is shipped off to Iraq to never return. I hope it’s worth it to you…
To all who want to keep promoting this fallacy that the super delegates chose the nominee, neither candidate had enough delegates to win, so if the super delegates had choses Hillary what would you be saying then, you would be celebrating your victory…Secondly Hillary only wins the popular vote by including Michigan and as we all know Obama was not on the ballot, oh yeah and discounting Caucus states but those states don’t count, oh yeah and Obama won more states but that doesn’t count either right because big states are more important than small ones, exactly what the Electoral College was put in place to avoid…Obama won fair and squate accept it and move on, you will regret putting McCain in office you better realize that now…Democrats unite!

Dear Mr Dowd and those who supported Hilary. Senator Clinton lost the nomination fight primarily because of the Iraq War. For those who will be voting in November, remember it is a life and death decision. I am pretty certain that Senator McCain means we will have at least four more years of the following, that we will be losing more good men and women like SGT Dagget and breaking their parents hearts:
http://www.pictopia.com/perl/gal?process=gallery&gallery_id=4528&provider_id=25&ptp_photo_id=xt-mt-25-201965
Publication Date: 2008-06-03 – Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia Jack Daggett leans on the casket of his son Sgt. John K. Daggett, 21, of Phoenix, Ariz., following the funeral service at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, on Monday, June 2, 2008. Daggett, served in the 1st Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, died May 15 in Halifax, Canada, of wounds suffered May 1 in Baghdad, Iraq, when a rocket-propelled grenade struck his vehicle.

I know how you lofty political pundits absolutely hate thinking about mere issues when there are personality differences and campaign strategies to dissect and analyze, but:
IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ

To all of the voters whom voted for Obama and Hillary Clinton. Look the race was great and the left wing of the party choose Obama over Clinton. On election night when they could of choose winning instead of loosing let see how they react to President Elect John McCain.
The election was rigged on the caucus states most kept no count of the people who voted. Nevada may be the exception Clinton wins by 5% and Obama gets more
delegates. It throws into question did he really win all of the caucus staes.
Then there is MSNBC Chris Mathews and how he spoke about Hillary Clinton in this election. No wonder she never appeared on his show for the college tour. Hillary Clinton is a lot of things but she is not stupid enough to come on his show.
On all the states Senator Obama won in the primary lets see how many will be blue on election night? Then lets see Chris Mathews tell the American people how dumb they are when Senator Obama looses.
I will not vote for Obama or McCain and sit this election out.

Good for you Bill. The funny thing is Obama, Clinton, and McCain are all rich. So will you really be hurting Obama?? or Chris Matthews for that matter?? Nope. You’ll be hurting yourself or those in your family less fortunate. When that happens, and your son, or nephew, or cousin, or whoever gets drafted to fight Iran. You can look in the mirror and say “Thanks Bill, we sure showed them.”

“To Texan: Suppose Clinton became Obama’s VP. Would you still vote against them? Are you more pro-Clinton, or more anti-Obama? And why?”
I will vote against Obama even Hillary is on the same ticket as VP. She needs to be on the top, not Obama! DNC has given him everything he needs by their ugly biased partisan support, so don’t brag that Obama has won fair and square!
Only a dummy would ignore Obama’s tall tales of lies and only idiots like Obama’s supporters would give him a free pass!
Mr. Hope and “Change” should have “changed” his pastor and leave his hateful church long ago! It took 20 years for Obama to make a right decision: to leave Trinity Church and denounce all his racist friends! Does Obama have a good judgment??? The answer is NONE!
I don’t trust him to walk my dog let alone to lead this country!

“Any other stupid comments you want me to shoot down??”
I don’t mind if you can shoot down the Black bandwagon which has your jerk Obama and his racist friends sitting in it!

Kris: I agree with you completely there.
And all I can say is this: John McCain is not the man to bring us back to the “right road.” Unless you want to believe that everything he’s saying for his platform is a complete lie, he’s not promising to do much different for the economy or for our foreign policy.
Obama can do it. We can question his persona all we want, but when you get down to it, everyone here wants to see democrat, populist policies brought to the white house. Obama will. McCain won’t.

Oh, I get it now Texas. You’re not actually here for serious discussion. Gotcha.

I am a young voter and I think it is absolutely disgraceful the way some of you all are replying to this article. Some of you guys have lost all respect for other people and their opinions which comments on your tainted character. It is perfectly fine and legal for you to prefer one candidate over another but a level of respect is still due to each and every candidate. McCain and Hilary supporters just make a fool of themselves when they let their emotions get the best of them and stoop to insulting Obama on personal terms. It is a sign that you feel threatened that their will soon be a power shift in this nation that will make people happy. The technical term is a red herring argument and it is well known as a fallacy in thinking. Get your minds straight and come with some real issues besides the race and religion cards because they are overused and pointless arguments. I am not only concerned about this election but I am concerned for the people who are consumed in bitterness right now instead of opening their minds to new possibilities. That closed mindedness will get you nowhere fast so just give your lame arguments a break because Obama and his supporters will continue to keep it classy throughout this election and respect the opponents. Can you honestly say you have done the same?

Lol. Texas, somebody sounds racist. But it isn’t me or Obama. Look, its okay you can hate him all you want till you’re blue in the face. Who cares?? It’s your health. The good thing is you are the last of a dying breed, as evidenced by Obama clinching the nomination. An by “last of a dying breed”, I mean people who spew hate, and lies, while not holding themselves to the same standards they deem upon people not the same as them. Can you tell me you’ve stood up against EVERY racist, sexist or offensive language somebody you know or associated with?? No. So for that my friend you area hypocrite. And I wouldn’t say Wright was racist, maybe a little to the left, but he has many white friends and parishoners in that church.

Beverly, there have been more negative campaigns out there. Kennedy took Johnson as his VP. Reagan took George H. W. Bush, who characterized Reagan’s supply side plan as “Voodoo economics.”
This was a typical primary, and it was very close and got way more attention than usual. In the interest of uniting the party, Obama would be well-served by taking the candidate that the other half of his electorate voted for.

texas—-soon you will have your state idiot back(george w bush) and then i would be very happy if that whole cracked goofy cattle loving poligamy waco killed kennedy belt buckle bigger then your head racist hatemonger warmonger loveing state left this union and we will go back to 49 states you freaks down in texas are some crazy waty out there losers.

An element of inevitability was seen in Hillary campaign right from the beginning. She asked electorate to focus on her and vote while Obama asked people to hope for their own future and vote.
All I have say is this:
Long live democracy! Not without flaws (as last eight years have proved) but that is the best we have got.

Obama and his campaign have created the most racist, sexist, arrogant and ignorant people at the far left. Don’t expect us to be nice with you after all!
Hillary supporters, vote for Hillary if she decides to run as an Independent candidate!
Hillary has not conceded this race yet; don’t let these idiots discourage you. They have attacked Hillary since day one and now they are calling for unity. HELL NO! Let not forget what they did to Hillary!
If Hillary gives up this race, please vote for John McCain in November! A vote for John McCain is a vote against Obama and his supporters. Please help to send Obama back to where he belongs!

“Put the woman on the BACK page where she belongs, and put Obama on the first page -ALONE- where he deserves to shine!”
He deserves to shine ….like what? like his shoes which you guys have been licking them for months?

=====================================
Joan, I hope you and all those Hillary supporters like walking. Because if John McCain wins you will be doing a lot of walking…to the draft board…to Iran…to the VA Hospital…to the cemetary, etc.
The choice is simple…get over the sore loser attitude and unite, or pay with the blood of your children and grand children.

First, may I begin by saying that the best candidate for the Dem nom was selected. Hilary lost because she voted for the Iraq war and personally she proved some peoples points that women (HER) are just too emotional and cannot handle a position such as running the country, (although I don’t believe that I just think that she was just not the woman to do it). And as for people making comments about Obama supporters being petty, have you read some of these comments??? Waaaaa HRC didn’t win so I am voting for McCain. Are you serious?? What is this high school? Our economy is in the toilet where it will stay for the next upcoming years no matter who is in office. In every election promises are made and every time the winner steps into office promises are broken. You talk about experience. What is McCain’s experience going to do different than Obama’s?? O I forgot McCain’ experience includes the time he worked as a magician who turned economies around and provided jobs and health care for everyone. I forgot that he has cut all the crime in Arizona. I forgot that McCain has the experience to return us all to the Perfect America that we never knew. The perfect America . Yeah right. A country founded on the injustices of others. But who cares right?? We have moved past that. McCain and all of his experience is going to move us past that or Hilary and all of her experience and the fact that she held on to the working class white vote, which is all that mattered, could have moved us past that.Right?? Please. All of it is a stab in the dark. I just hope its Obama doing the stabbing because I know whats behind McCain’s door. We all want change and that is something that I think we can all agree on. But the fact is My Change is not your Change and yours is not mine. America please don’t be unrealistic. Nothing changes over night. McCain and Obama both have their ideas of how to fix things but they just have different ways of doing it. neither way is guaranteed to get us out of this Sh!t we have been living in especially the sh!t from the last eight years. This was a historic election. And I believe, from certain reactions, it has taught us all a huge lesson. America still has a long way to go. It is filled with racist oops I am sorry……Lack of experience haters. Get Real. Obama in 08, Change you can believe in. Change I choose to believe in.

hopefully obama drops dead

In the end, it simply boils down to this, Everyone has a single vote. Everyone can donate money to the candidate they want. Everyone has different needs and expectations. What is lost in all of this is. In order for Obama to win he had to take voter share away from Hillary. She had a large lead in every demographic before super tuesday. And after that day it kept shrinking. Obama provided a great campaign no one can deny. He is a great candidate. The showing of the popular vote, delegate, and super delgate shows this. He will draw a greater line between McCain and himself and we will choose a president based on this difference.

CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN…”On June 13, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), while serving as an Illinois state senator in 1998, “did a political favor” for Chicago Democratic fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko by writing letters to state and local government officials in support of a Chicago housing project proposed by Rezko’s company, New Kenwood LLC. The Sun-Times asserted that the “letters appear to contradict a statement last December from Obama, who told the Chicago Tribune that, in all the years he’s known Rezko, ‘I’ve never done any favors for him.’ ” Obama, who has worked as a lawyer and a legislator to improve living conditions for the poor, took campaign donations from Rezko even as Rezko’s low-income housing empire was collapsing, leaving many African-American families in buildings riddled with problems — including squalid living conditions, vacant apartments, lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers. “

I was so happy to hear Hillary Clinton’s speech last night and today they were both excellent. She is a very much a stronger leader and I hope she make her choice soon what she wants next and takes her time. She is a true winner and will always be. I was happy for Obama for being the firt black african american only was happy for that part not for him winning but for him being the first black I give him some credit. But I heard a lot of hate over the black radio talk stations that they do not like Hillary they spoke so hateful about Hillary I don;t understand if he won why are they hating on Hillary still makes no sense at all. All I now Hillary stands by Isreal and the Jews and I hope these kind of acts of hate stop, she helped Obama win if you ask me. No one understands that. Hillary is the most popular in votes so I see her as a real winner. dahh

Hillary is much the leader we need and I hope she will be out next president if it’s not McCain or Obama, the White House will never be the same with out the Clintons back our neither our economy will recover without a true Clinton or Clintons. suck it up for all you who hate Hillary media and ABC and Obama Supporters

I didn’t feel like reading all the comments, so I’ll just comment on the article itself.
I’ve seen a couple articles talking about what mistakes Hillary Clinton made in this campaign, what Clinton did wrong, or how “Clinton lost”. While they point out accurate blunders on her part, it seems like these statements overshadow Barack Obama as a great candidate. It’s as if to say that anybody in his place would’ve won and that simply is not the case.
I understand that people tend to focus more on Clinton because a) she’s more well-known, and b) she should’ve had this race in the bag. She had a strong campaign party, she was former First Lady of a popular president for 2 terms, she was more well known than any of her democratic opponents, she’s got 35 years of experience in politics and she’s a woman… something new to offer to U.S. presidency. So, of course, most people are analyzing how she blew such an advantage. But I think those same people tend to forget that she was up against a surprisingly formidable candidate.
No matter how good you are at anything, there is one key factor that you must always acknowledge (and any comedian can verify this)…. timing. Barack Obama pulled off the upset victory of the century, not just because he has good judgement, not just because has a brilliant campaign, not just because he’s charismatic and trustworthy, and not just because he raised more money. On top of all that, his timing was perfect. He is the right guy at the right time.
The general public is tired of having a leader who tells us what they think we want, or does things their own way regardless of what we think. We’re tired of doing things the same old way and not making any progress. The people wanted change, and some hope that things would get better. Barack delivers. Hillary tried to compare him to George W. Bush in terms of inexperience; but Bush failed because of little experience, and not changing anything. Barack’s amount of experience benefits him because he does plan to change things. Barack speaks to the young and educated voters on a level that they understand and talks about issues that they are passionate about. He invites people to get involved to help change the country for the better. People trust and believe in him because they feel he’s in it for the people and not just himself.
Why? One pronoun. Hillary tends to use “I” almost all the time. When you hear Barack talk about his accomplishments in this race, he uses “we”. With Clinton, it’s all about her. With Obama, it’s about him, his family, his campaign party, his supporters…. he knows this can’t be done alone, and remains humble. He ran a clean campaign and stuck to the issues. When things got rough for Clinton, she started the mudslinging, the nitpicking, and the anything-goes usual dirty politics. People saw that and made their choice… from voters to superdelagates.
Clinton did lose due to her own faults, but Obama won because he is a great candidate.

And, my friends, “Old man yells at cloud”.

Hey Mr. Flip Flop Obama:
You have no judgments
You have no experience
You had been associated with black racists and Muslim extremists for the past 20 years and it took 20 years for you to make a right decision to leave your hateful church with your radical friends behind!!!!
Did you ever make up your mind when you were in Illinois State senate? You voted 130 times “present” instead of “yes” or “no”??????
In this election you did not win fair and square. You are rewarded votes from MI which you do not deserve! The media has given you free pass because they took money from one of your supporters George Soros and Moveon.org!
You have operated a divisive and racist campaign that we will never forget!
You don’t deserve to be a winner because you cannot win even half of Democrat ‘s voters!
Your supporters have attacked Hillary relentlessly since day one. Thanks for these idiots; now my family will switch to be Independent!
You have less than six more months to go. Hope that I will not see you for the rest of my life after November!

black racists = oxymoron
Muslim extremists, I thought this was what we were fight in the Middle East
present” instead of “yes” or “no” = is this Constitutional
In this election you did not win fair and square = i don’t like the rule about it being about the delegate count
George Soros and Moveon.org = products of the right wing impeachment of Bill Clinton
divisive and racist campaign = Hillary, Hi
Hope that I will not see you for the rest of my life after November! = If God is willing maybe we won’t here from you long before that

I’m with the people that have pointed to the war vote. had clinton voted against the war Obama would have had no opening. clinton went all in on geo bush’s suggestion and now she’s done, not broke, but as they say in bluegrass, badly bent.
the best part: she did it on her own.

MY VOTE IS FOR SENATOR BARACK OBAMA.
I PRAY FOR MR. AND MRS. OBAMA, THAT I WILL SEE THEM JAN.2009 AS PRESIDENT AND THE LADY OBAMA OF THE UNITED STATES.
(Mr. Obama wife is THE LADY) I agree with LADY OBAMA, I HAVE NEVER BEEN PROUD OF THE UNITED STATES. I’m still not proud of the United States. From George Washington to President George Bush Jr. That is why I am not proud of the United State we are in., a mess since the 1st president. I do Hope Mr. Senator Obama will do all in his power to straight out this mess. With the help of those Mr. Senator Obama choose and The LORD JESUS CHRIST, the United States will for the first time be UNITED.

Hillary lost for more than one reason, but main one, the age ignorance of the young voters “wanting ‘change’” This generation of voters have grown up with everything their little hearts wanted, just scream, you will get it. Now they want change ??
Obviously women are still second class citizens. People make fun of her pantsuits, when I grew up, I am 64, women went no where in pants. Look into what life used to be like.

Hillary lost because the Super delegates wanted Obama. Also, McCain has very little money and he won early on. He really hasn’t even campagined much since the Democrats have been dancing all over the place. The Dems have an awful way of running their caucuses and it should be changed. Goes to show that if they keep it muddy, they confuse the American voters to the point where they don’t realize they never had a choice in the first place. Obama might get elected, but some radical group will put him out. Don’t know if anyone else predicted this but I do.

sorry bout the double post

Hilliary was cheated out of her candidancy. They stole her votes. Surely you will reap what is sown..beware!

HILLARY IS THE BEST PERSON TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SHE IS A WOMAN, SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING, SHE IS FOR EACH PERSON IN AMERICA, SHE IS WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE TO HELP EACH PERSON IN AMERICA, WHAT MORE DO WE NEED.
OBAMA IS NOT THE BEST PERSON TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA. HE IS A LIER. HE IS BLACK, HE DOES NOT KNOW THE FIRST STEP TO TAKING CHARGE OF THE USA. HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN FLAG. HE DOES NOT WANT TO HURT HIS COUNTRY’S FEELING TO REPRESENT OUR FLAG. HE DOES NOT SPEAK THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BECAUSE IT HAS GOD IN IT. HE DOES NOT EVEN BELIEVE IN THE LORD ABOVE. HE WILL NOT EVEN CROSS HIS HEART WHEN THE PLEDGE OF ALLIEGIANCE IS BEING SPOKE NOR WILL HE SAY IT ALONG WITH THE USA.
WHAT TYPE OF PERSON ARE YOU GUYS VOTING FOR TO REPRESENT THE USA?? WE DONT NEED A PERSON LIKE THIS TO REPRESENT OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EVERYONE THAT IS VOTING FOR OBAMA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING EVERYBODY IN OUR COUNTRY INTO.
COLOR DOES HAS AN ISSUE IN THIS MATTER OF VOTING FOR THE RIGHT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. LISTEN TO THE NEWS, RADIO’S, INTERNET BLOGS, INTERNET VIDEOS, AND WHATEVER ELSE SPEAKS/SHOWS TO US HOW AND WHAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE ALL ABOUT. I DONT HAVE TO POST IT ON HERE EVERYBODY KNOWS FROM HEARING AND SEEING IT ON THE NEWS EACH AND EVERY DAY AND NIGHT, WETHER IT BE THE NEWS, THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE BLACK CULTURE PERSONALLY THERESELVES. WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR OUR COUNTRY AND VOTE FOR THE WHITE. WE MIGHT OF BROUGHT THEM THINGS OVER HERE TO OUR COUNTRY (WHICH WAS THE WORST MISTAKE THAT THE WHITE PEOPLE HAVE DID IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AND WE ARE SERIOUSLY REGRETTING IT NOW) BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR THEM TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA. THE BLACKS THAT LIVE IN OUR USA DONT EVEN LIKE OUR COUNTRY AT ALL. I HEART THAT ON THE RADIO THE OTHER DAY A BLACK MAN STATED THAT FROM ALL THE BLACKS THAT THEY DO NOT LIKE AND BELIEVE IN THE USA AT ALL THAT THEY HATE IT.
AND THAT IS THE COLOR AND THE RESPECT THAT ALL YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS VOTED FOR TO BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT. YOU ALL WILL SEE WHAT TYPE OF SUPPORT AND HOW THE USA WILL BE AND BECOME ONCE HE IS ELECTED THE NEW PRESIDENT.
YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS YOU ALL CAN KISS MY A**. YOU ALL ARE DISGUSTING ILL NATURED INDIVIDUALS FOR VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA .
YOU ALL WILL SEE AND ALL OF YOU WILL REGRET WHAT YOU ALL DID BY HAVING HIM FOR THE PRESIDENT OF OUR USA.

WHITE POWER | Jun 5, 2008 11:57:31 AM
I CAN ADD UP TO THAT….HILLARY 2009-2012. GO HILLARY!!!!
I was a daily listener of Warren Balentine, Michele Basiden, and other black talk radio shows before Obama. I was all into the movement of help black people achieve in America. Most of these black talk radio hosts would talked about the New World Order and the impact on BLACK and all AMERICA, the need to close our border, no to same sex marriage, AID, no free pass for legal immigrants. Months after Obama came to town, these topics were no longer important to the black community. It was all about hating the Clintons, what the white done to us, getting pay, putting the first black man in office, protecting Obama because white people my hurt him, etc. It was like the agenda of the black people had changed overnight. Before Obama, most of our Black’s views were in line with most White American. For once I felt, we (black and white people) were coming together to build a better America. Yes, we still have some major racial problems to work on but we were working together for the good the America. Now, I feel like we are at the beginning of our work instead of the middle to the end. What happen? Obama! And, no it was not the Clintons because the change on black talk radios started before Bill made his fair tale statement. I strongly believe that all of the black leaders got together and discussed how to push message of this operation Obama push effort, staring with the black talk radio shows down to the black churches. We all being played. Obama has NOT thrown the black people, his church, and the pastors. White voters must understand the strategy that is being placed here. Black people, Obama’s church, and the pastors all understand that Obama needs the white voters to win. And, they are willing accept any things Obama needs to do win. If you listen to black talk radios, the black people are being told to be quiet and let Obama do what he needs to do. And, to keep their focus on the bigger prize which is the White House. So if Obama needs to throw the black, his church, and the pastors under the bus it is okay because they know he does not mean it. Obama needs to do it for now so the white people can feel okay to release their votes. We are being played. Watch you will not hear any more from his old pastor, the new crazy white pastor, or his black supporters nor will you see a drop in his black supporters for leaving his church. They will be awarded once Obama get into the White House with policies in favor of their needs.BHO (Bone Headed Obama) is a WIMP, chameleon, hypocrite and WOLF in Sheeps’ skin. Here are some of BHO’s lies, misjudgments, boneheaded decisions and contradictions.
• BHO has AUDACITY TO HOPE that Americans will not look at the character of the person to be president and he will be able to mislead them with his smoke and mirror tactics and speeches.
• He claims to have good JUDGEMENT, but contradicts himself by keeping relationships with anti-Americans, terror-mongers and racists for 20+ years
• BHO claims to be the MESSIAH of HOPE, but says ‘people cling to religion and cling to guns’ out of frustration. Is BHO equating Americans to ‘terrorists’ where the terrorists usually claim that they ‘cling’ to religion and guns out of frustration and economic woos?
• BHO claims to be a UNITER, but always tried to divide America on RACE and ECONOMIC INEQUALITIES
• BHO was not mad about Wright’s anti-American, racist rants until a few days back. But what made him mad is that his lack of credibility was exposed by Mr. Wright when he said “Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls,”
• BHO Says he is PRO-LIFE, but also said that he would not PUNISH his daughters with babies.
• BHO talk about leveling fields as a non-politician. BHO entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it. BHO back stabbed his friend and mentor Alice Palmer by nullifying Palmer’s nominating petitions, forcing her to withdraw.
• He is TOUGH enough to throw his grand mother under the bus, but he neither has GUTS to repudiate his anti-American, racist pastor nor has GUTS to vote NO to stop Adult Porn Shops from opening up next to our children’s schools.
• BHO wants us to BELIEVES in CHANGE, but the kind of CHANGE he is really talking about is to go down to his knees to negotiate unconditionally to Iran’s Ahmadinejad, Hamas and other terrorist groups.
• BHO claims to be ‘TRUE’, but he is full of lies like He never opposed hand guns, He never heard Mr. Wright making the incendiary quotes, He never said – he will not wear flag lapel pin, He is against NAFTA but had his adviser meet privately with the Canadian government to assure them he didn’t really mean what he said about NAFTA and the list goes on and on
• BHO took 20 years to finally accept that his pastor is an anti-American. BHO is an opportunistic liar.
• BHO Claims to be a PATRIOT, but refuses to wear flag lapel pin and his wife Michelle says: For the first time in her adult life she is proud of this country and America is a mean country
• BHO claims to be the better Commander-in-Chief, but how can he get that position if he can not even obtain the Top Security Clearance?
• BHO says WORDs MATTER, but is always short of words and steals them from others and constantly demands the people whom he insults to give him the benefit of the doubt for his misspeaks.
• He says he is Washington Outsider, but admitted in the debate that his campaign played negative tactics against Clinton in PA. BHO has more Washington Insiders endorsing him thus OWEs to them something that will MAKE HIM BIGGEST WASHINGTON INSIDER.
THERE’S A CONNIVANCE AND HYPOCRICY INVOLVED IN HIS DEFECTION. WE CANNOT TRUST THE BLACK COMMUNITY… WE CANNOT TRUST OBAMA… THEY’RE ALL FOR SELFISH REASONS… THAT’S WHY GOD WILL NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN…OBAMA WILL NEVER WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION….GOD WILL NOT LET UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BE RULED BY BLACK HYPOCRITES. THEY WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA HOWEVER BAD HIS RESUME, HOWEVER DIRTY HIS WAYS TO THE TOP AND HOWEVER BAD HIS ASSOCIATIONS WITH DANGEROUS PEOPLE INCLUDING THE ENEMIES OF THE STATE BECAUSE OBAMA IS THEIR OWN KIND. THEY ARE TOO DESPERATE TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN KIND IN THE HIGHEST OFFICE BECAUSE THEIR CAUSE IS TOO SELFISH. IF AA RULES, UNITED STATES WILL BE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY BECAUSE AAs IN GENERAL ARE LIKE WILD ANIMALS UNRULY BY NATURE AND THAT’S A FACT. NOW, UNDERSTAND WHY THE WHITES AND OTHER RACES ARE TOO AFRAID TO LIVE IN ONE COMMUNITY WITH THE AAs.

If Obama is a Muslim Extremist, then what are you besides a racist. but the funny thing is that none of this is a surprise. i hope Obama rides over all you haters right on to the whitehouse. you all give white people a bad name. but unlike you i know that you are not all the same but some of you are evil, talk about devils. You will reap what you sow. Obama in 08.

I see the truth hurts Neil1785. it is reflected in all of the comments. Obama won and that is the truth. McCain has no money and that is the truth. so believe me i know it hurts. and you are racist but thats okay to. Obama doesn’t care and nither do I. i just call them like i see them….lol you people are comedy. and i don’t live in fantasy land. obviously you do. you apparently didn’t know that black people had voices. but i welcome you back to the real world. Get over it. Obama in 08

ObamaGurl | Jun 5, 2008 2:17:56 PM
keep on dreaming coz he ain’t gonna win the general election without Hillary and I bet she’s gonna run as independent or her supporters will go to MCCain who is lesser evil than Obama.

FACTS: Only the Clintons understand the American economy. Social Security is being paid with money borrowed from China. The USA doesn’t make enough money from tax payers the IRS only reports $400 billions a year. The USA owes $40 trillions with interests. There are 1000 billions in a trillion. There is no money for Social Security it has been taken for other expenses.The USA people don’t have as much savings compare to the rest of the world. The USA medical system is the most expensive in the world. The oil bought today is paid with money borrowed from China. The world considers China the new empire not the USA. When Mr. Clinton was President the USA was #1 in the world with the strongest economy. The Clintons left $500 billions surplus, a balance budget and the world enjoy peace. We need the Clintons right now, urgently. The Clintons also improved the condition of the Black community. They even gave them better privileges than any other race like healthcare, etc. and most importantly, afforded them the luxury of 230 points added to their SATs in order for AAs to get into an Ivy League school. They must be that dumb. Now, where are they? playing the race card. Made an issue on Bill Clinton’s statement of truth in South Carolina. Deval Patrick from whome Obama’s rhetorics were plagiarized, is a smart man, and worked hard to be where he is with a little help from scholarships and the Clinton Administration I don’t mean to belittle that; I had a few scholarships myself. But then, he should remember who helped him to get to where he is today. And that wasn’t Barack Obama… It was the Clinons….

Obama gurl this election isnt about color its about politics can you have disscustion, that involves the issues? I highly doubt it. and since when have you been a White Woman hater signed proud to be an American

Neil1785 I didn’t know you were a psychic as well. Who really Shot JFK?? And just as you know that
Obama isn’t going to win the GE. You knew that he would win the Dem Nom??? That is crazy. And are you black??? I don’t think that you are. Honestly blacks as with any race of people improve their own conditions. We are the only ones that can do so. Tax breaks and programs that are implemented to improve the “conditions” of people apply to everyone not just blacks and whites. I think you need to take your blinders off or think before you speak. If the nation felt like you do about the Clintons she would be in office and we wouldn’t be having this discussion. Yes I agree things were good under Clinton. When it was his time he bought about his version of change. Now it’s someone else’s turn. Just not Hilary’s:0(

Obama gurl this election isnt about color its about politics can you have disscustion, that involves the issues? I highly doubt it. and since when have you been a White Woman hater signed proud to be an American
Is that how I appear?? Did I say that?? I don’t believe so. And I am talking about the issues Oregon. And that is actually my point and if you would read some of the comments before you even begin to speak to me. It obviously is about his race. I specifically asked what does his race have to do with his politics. So please read my posting and come at me correct next time. And as a matter of fact I never said that I hated anyone not event the pure racist on this blog. Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and opinions. When you decide to make them public you open the door for them to be commented on. I welcome all comments. Now you talk about the “issues” obviously you have much to say. or were you just talking as it is your natural right??
also below is a snip of an article stripped fresh from Yahoo news:
“One of the great unknowns is the race factor. With no historical precedents for a nonwhite nominee, it is impossible to predict how or where Obama’s race will affect his chances.”
now what do you think that is saying Oregon?? i don’t know. maybe you can elaborate. what are these people saying? why is this even coming up?

Oregon you are so cute…lol did you see the jury that acquitted OJ??? They were more your peers than his. And what are you saying that some white people don’t vote for people just because they are white?? And notice that I said some because in both instances there are people who do not vote on just this basis. That is the world that we live in. but for the record all of the black people in the united states couldn’t have put him where he is now. Just as Hilary could not have gotten the votes that she received on white votes alone. So please again I ask you come correct on not at all.

obamagurl white people vote for the best candidate, not because of color. look a black nominee has never been up there before…hmm…what does that tell you there???….the only black nominee that is up there now is obama, what is he actually going to do for our usa??? not a damn thing, let him lead everyone of you people on with his lies just to get your votes, let him get in the white house and all of you black obama voters will see how a true black man works.

The phenomenon, the icon of democracy and good governance, dumped his one time mentor, Alice Palmer to grab a senate seat in Illinois, got his fellow democratic contenders’ names struck off from the ballot in Chicago, allowed Exelon to get away from being held responsible even after repeated radioactive spillage, dumped his grandmother to divert attention of people from race issue, used Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity Church for decades to build a political base for himself and then dumped him when he became a political hot potato, dumped Father Pfleger when things came out to light after 20 years, now he decides to severe his association with his church. The moral compass remained unmoved for this man for decades till things came to light, because he thinks he has got a clear sight to the White House. He used the liberation of Nazi concentration camps in Germany to impress people with his lineage. Then, as people came out with the truth, Auschwitz became Buchenwald and the uncle became a great-uncle! He has already started adding nuances to his initial rhetoric of meeting disputed world leaders from Iran and other countries! The caucuses were managed to gain advanatges in delegate count, a great example is the difference in the polling results in the primaries and caucus in the state of Washington. Friendly media with similar lobbying interests, were used to make a mockery of a fellow democratic contender. The script of a popular TV serial, “The West Wing” was written with the help of his campaign strategist, that almost depicts this campaign, with the aim of brain-washing potential voters to align with the campaign goals. This is an example of change at its best for the phenomenon. Does it indicate what will happen to his key campaign messages of doing away with old style Washington Politics and “Change we can”?
We saw a couple of things clearly today. The DNC robbed 1.7 million people of their votes in Florida and 600K in Michigan. And we also saw very clearly today that Barack Obama hates white people. Church is supposed to be a place where one reflects on how we are all the same.
I’m a Catholic, but why the Diocese of Chicago puts up with that idiot Pfleger is a mystery. He doesn’t deserve the respect I would give most who serve God. He’s an idiot, a showman, and he has no place in a church. There is still power in numbers. Obama didn’t have the good sense to leave that mess on his own. He had to have handlers tell him it was hurting his chances of lying his way into the WH. But, we got to see it for what it is. NoBama.
It is politics as usual! Who do you think is supporting him? Again, Obama shows it today, he did want the our leaders (Nancy, Dean, etc) ask him do….quit his church. He did ask he was told….he is not a leader but a follower. A leader would have quit that church many years ago not when he is told.

boy it is really quiet in here now.
what happened?
no more comments to speak?
oh, i guess obamagurl is a little pissed right now.
her man OBAMA is being ditched on.
but thats is okay.
I voted for HILLARY CLINTON.
She is the best there ever will be.
Just so you all know I am a democratic representative for the USA and I voted for Hillary.
Are there any other Hillary supporters out there??
Iam just showing some love to all the Hillary supporters!!!

O believe me Goonies I am black so I know how the Black man works. Secondly for you to speak for your whole race even after reading these comments and to say that they don’t make decisions based on race you just told me a bold face lie and you don’t even know me. How sad. And you are correct there has not been a black candidate to make it this far but now that he has and some white people are put in this newly found position they are showing their stripes. Now we can confirm on what basis some of them vote. You are so foolish it’s laughable. You had one of yours in office for eight years and I believe that he has bought us as low as we can go. But hey he tried right?? Maybe he was showing us how the white man works…lol. And if it were just on black votes why isn’t Jesse Jackson added to the list of our great presidents?? He did run. Omg it’s almost shocking that all of our “black votes” didn’t get him into office. WTF?? What happened there?? It must have been rigged…..lol. Like I said no one in this nation gets anywhere on one demographic of people’s votes. Obama was the best candidate and that’s why he is where he is. It is what it is. Obama in 08

hillary rodham clinton “08″ | Jun 5, 2008 4:05:23
never do i get pissed. i am just as calm cool and collective as your future president. Its good that you voted for Hilary. and?? what do you want a medal?? i don’t have any of those to give but i will give you kudos. she was a fellow Dem. just not the one we wanted to see in office as our president.

obamagurl so what are you getting at on you reply to my message that you stated “she is not the one we wanted in as out president” what is that suppose to mean? you mean the africans of the world.
if we americans didnt want her to become the president let me see now that would mean that she would had 0 votes, doesnt it?? i thought so, we want her in there it is just upsetting that baracks people stole it away from the best.

obamagurl:
yeah those black men are doint there best down there in the prisons and jails, aint they while they are serving there times for the all the crimes that they got caught for.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

that comment there is just words lets see if he actually does it. Lets see if he has the actual ass to back up his promises.
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT.

Obama flip-flops in almost all his positions. Remember, Isreal, Nafta and Iraq Troop Withdrawal? He shouldn’t be trusted on any promises he makes.

SO YOU ARE STATING THAT IT IS TRUE THAT OBAMA’S PEOPLE STOLE HILLARY’S VOTES, THAT SHE WOULD HAVE WON. AND JUST SO YOU CAN SEE IT FOR YOURSELF I COPIED WHAT BOTH OF US WROTE TO EACH OTHER. MY COMMENTS ARE STRAIGHT AND TO THE POINT STRAIGHT TO YOU. SO NOW WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOU THIEF OF A LIER BARACK OBAMA. YOU STATED IT YOURSELF FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

Its good that you voted for Hilary. and?? what do you want a medal?? i don’t have any of those to give but i will give you kudos. she was a fellow Dem. just not the one we wanted to see in office as our president.

No Goonies you misunderstood. that means that she would have won.
Posted by: ObamaGurl | Jun 5, 2008 4:22:21 PM

YEAH CROOKED ONES, THE KIND OF ONES THAT RAPE OUR WOMEN IN THE FEMALE DETENTION CENTERS AND PRISONS AND JAILS. SO DONT EVEN TALK TO ME OR EVEN GO THERE ABOUT THE PRISON STUFF, I HAVE BEEN IN THEM PLACES TO KNOW AND HAVE BEEN RAPED BY YOUR KIND AND HE IS SUPPOSE TO BE A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER IN THERE. YEAH AND THERE IS MORE OF YOUR KIND IN THERE AS CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS DOING IT TO THE FEMALES ALL THE TIME, SO DONT TRY TO TALK TO ME TO TRY TO CHANGE THE WAY THAT I THINK OF YOU ALL. BECAUSE THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

YOU STATED TWO TIME IN YOUR COMMENTS TO ME THAT SHE WOULD HAVE WON. NOT ONE TIME BUT TWO TIMES YOU PUT IN THERE SHE WOULD HAVE WON. SO YOU ARE STATING THAT SHE WOULD HAVE WON IF OBAMA’S PEOPLE DIDNT STEAL IT ALL AWAY. BECAUSE THAT WAS THE LAST THING THAT I STATED IN THE COMMENT ABOVE, THEN THAT IS WHEN YOU REPLIED YEAH THAT SHE WOULD HAVE WON.
NEVERMIND YOU DONT UNDERSTAND AT ALL. ITS IN BLACK AND WHITE UP THERE YOU JUST HAVE TO COMPREHEND IT.

ALL YOU BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO GO BACK TO AFRICA WHERE YOU ALL BELONG. WE DONT WANT YOU HERE. YOU ALL DONT LIKE OUR COUNTRY SO GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY WHERE YOU ALL BELONG, YOU BUNCH OF HATERZ!!

OH DONT FEEL SORRY FOR ME, I DONT NEED YOUR PITY. NEVER HAD NEVER WILL. YEAH ITS A CRIME THAT SICK PEOPLE COMMIT BUT ITS A SHAME THAT WHEN IT COMES TO COURT OR BEFORE COURT YOUR KIND ALL YELL RACISM, WHEN ITS A WHITE PLAINTIFF AGAINST A BLACK DEFENDANT OR ITS A HATE CRIME, THE WHITES ARE JUST HATING ON US BLACKS, THATS WHAT THEY ALL YELL AND THAT IS WHY A LOT OF WHITES DISLIKE THE BLACKS. BEEN THERE SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL. ITS JUST SICKENING THAT THE SCHOOLS TODAY LET THE INTERACIAL STUFF OCCUR, WHEN THE BIBLE SPEAKS THAT EVERYONE IS SUPPOSE TO STAY WITH THERE OWN COLOR AND OPPOSITE SEXES ARE SUPPOSE TO GET MARRIED AND BE SEXUAL WITH EACH OTHER, NOT THE SAME SEX STUFF. BUT THAT IS OKAY BECAUSE THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST IS ON HIS WAY AND HE WILL SHOW EVERYONE ON THIS WORLD WHO WILL BE IN HEAVEN AND WHO IS GOING TO BE DAMNED AND SENT TO HELL FOREVER. WE ALL KNOW WHO IT WILL BE.

(I sure would like to know who wrote this one! They deserve a HUGE pat on the
back!)
I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB… AND I HAVE TO AGREE 100%
Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my
taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get
that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no
problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people
who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to
pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it
for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on
their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting
on their A$$, doing drugs, while I work…Can you imagine how much money the st
ate would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance
check? Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don’t. Hope you all
will pass it along, though .
Something has to change in this country — and soon

DONT GET ME STARTED NOW WITH THE WELFARE THING. BECAUSE 99.9% OF THE FEMALE BLACKS OF THIS USA GETS AWAY WITH MURDER WITH THIS WELFARE STUFF. NOW LET A WHITE PERSON WITH A WHITE CHILD GO UP AND APPLY AND THEY GET 10 BUCKS FOR CASH ASSISTANCE A MONTH TO SUPPORT THERE CHILD AND SELF WHILE THE MOTHER MAKES 7.00 AN HOUR FOR A 40 HOUR A WEEK JOB. SO YOU TELL ME I STAND IN LINE AT THE GROCERY STORES WHILE A WOMAN ON WELFARE GETS ABOUT 500.00 BUCKS IN GROCERIES AND PAYS FOR IT WITH HER INDEPENDANCE CARD MEANWHILE HER HUSBAND WORK FOR THE US POSTAL OFFICE MAKING BANK. WELFARE NEEDS TO CRACK MORE DOWN ON THIS STUFF. YEAH THEY PASSED A LAW THAT PEOPLE CAN ONLY GET CASH AND FOOD STAMP ASSISTANCE FOR 5 YEARS AND THATS IT. BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE MONEY THEY ALL OWE BACK FOR WORKING THE SYSTEMS. WHEN THE REAL PEOPLE NEED THE HELP THEY DONT GET IT BUT LET A BLACK PERSON OR A WHITE GIRL WITH A MIXED BABY GO UP THERE AND THEY GET IT IN A HEARTBEAT. I FIND IT VERY SICKNING.

I AM JUST STATING THAT THIS IS HOW THE BLACKS ARE, AND NOW THERE MIGHT BE A BLACK PRESIDENT LOOKING OVER OUR USA AND I AM JUST STATING THAT HE IS FROM THE BLACK CULTURE AND ALL OF THE STUFF THAT THE BLACKS DO IS IN HIS BLOOD. SO THAT MEANS THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO DISCRIMINATE ON HIS ON COLOR SO THAT MEANS THAT THE BLACKS ARE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH MORE THAN JUST MURDER NOW, AND OUR COUNTRY WILL GO TO SHREDS FAST.

Goonies I was thinking it but you just confirmed it. You are Ignorant. I think you need to run the stats on that welfare thing one more time. You talk about making someone being sick. I can’t believe you have the right to vote. Dangerous, but this is America. Another thing I have never been to jail. And don’t plan on going. I am an upstanding citizen unlike you. As I am sure that you were no political prisoner. That says something about me as a black woman. But you have been to jail. What does it say about you as a white man?? Does that mean that all white men are criminals?? I don’t think so. just you.

HRC 08
you obviously don’t understand i was simply saying that if she was suppossed to win she would have. as far as for stealing votes i do not agree with that. if you don’t get that then i do not know what to tell you.

So just because that is what the headlines read, that makes it a correct statement?
I’m just tired of people ignoring the fact the he is not just a “black” man, but that half of him is white. (white mother + black father= half and half)
What is so historical in that? Is it because we have never had a presidential candidate who has black blood in him?

Obama is the bastard son of a 19-year old whore and a whore chaser. She couldn’t keep ‘em closed and he couldn’t keep it zipped. A disgrace that a woman like that might have given birth to our party’s nominee. Sad. Very sad.

I believe thats it Cathrine. However, what does he consider himself. he doesn’t appear to be disputing the title. he stil acknowledges his mother and his grandmother. he just views himself as an african american man. like i sad Cathrine not everyone checks the “other” box. it is what it is.

General,
people choose who they want to culturally identify with. i don’t see to many White people calling him a white man. do you see him as a white man? I wonder if the people of at Harvard viewed him as a white man?? i doubt it. culturally he identifies with african americans. but he is an american never the less and thus he identifies with all people in general. why fault him for that?? does it bother you that the world considers him to be black or that your constitution sees him as black?? as matter of fact thats your answer. he is black because the constitution says so. the founding fathers say so.

But why are they fighting them bob?? They are soldiers and they follow orders. Hoping that it is for the good of someone or something. But that is not always the case. Why are we in Iraq all these years later? What happened to Osama?? Our main objective. Why do you dislike Muslims?? Is it because their ideas are different from your own?? We have to question some of these things that we have been conditioned to believe. I personally am not a Muslim but I don’t pass judgment on them because I am not. I could have sworn that people were killed, raped, tortured and so on in the name of Christianity. please tell me if i am wrong. An “Islomic Radical”. come on Bob. please.

He is not anti white. he simply wrote about feelings he encountered growing up as a Biracial male in America. have you read some of these comments?? now take that and apply that to a face to face situation. as you can see there are a lot of white people who are not as accepting. like i said when they look at him they do not see a white man or even a biracial man. you do not know what he had to endure growing up as a child. having a white mother and having people of her race treating him and those who look like him like everything but a child of God. but on the other hand you find people who have been through what you have been through first hand. they are accepting and not judging. you can relate to them and thus you identify with them. i am not saying that every white person he ever encountered treated him in such a way. but that had to have hurt and been a little confusing. so because he struggled with that as a child growing up. and because he was honest about that you want to fault him for that? I don’t understand.

Not yet,
i think we can see that from your comment and the comments of others he did not miss the hatred of blacks. it is alive and well and its funny that some people thought that it went away. “old Black Mentality” are you serious??? listen to yourself. how do you and others like you make statments like that and see wrong in someone else?? check yourself first. obviously that old white mentality is alive and well. so i guess that “old Black Mentality” will die when yours does which is never because others like you breed it in their kids. its good that your kids are not closet racist like their mom. i’m sorry i just respect the outright racist a little more. also did you know that there are more white women on welfare than any other race in america?? feel free to pull the stats on that. so you pay to feed your own as well. i pay to feed them to. and i don’t mind either. By the grace of God i have never received any type of aid. not even for school. i went to private school. My mom had to buy my books unlike the ones that are given to your children i’m sure. so i guess someone else is getting the bill for that. anyway my point is we pay to help America sustain America not black people, not white people but everyone here. so as far as the jackson’s and sharpton’s taking from you. i doubt it.

Attention Hillary Supporters…You DO have a CHOICE! The New American Independent Party is neither an independent body or the standard political party. We are a bit of a hybrid. We don’t call ourselves independent. We are more like a team or a movement. We generally recruit independent candidates, not from within the party. That way we get new ideas and new energy. These independent candidates do need to share many of our basic platform views. We do differ with both the Republican and Democratic parties on many levels. But, we also connect to many of those Reagan Democrats, now Hillary Democrats and Lou Dobbs independents that have been left behind by both major parties.We represent all of those folks that are being forgotten. The American middle class is under assault. We are simply provide another option for folks not happy with the current choices. You don’t have a problem with giving voters another option do you?So, we are not about to turn our backs on all of these Reagan Democrats that are finally had enough of the Democratic party. A strong effort has already begun within our party to draft a Hillary Clinton / Lou Dobbs ticket in 2012.And if you think that this could never happen or that Lou Dobbs would not run with Hillary Clinton then you had better think again. But, 2012 is a long ways off and we could field any ticket by that time. If we attract candidates from the two major parties then they will be expected to address many of the concerns of the NAIP. And those showning interest thus far have indeed shown a willingness to tackle our concerns. But, at the same time that will not be expected to be a puppet for the NAIP.

Im a white male i like most races i like black women, I wish they whould loose a little weight, and date more white guys, i think they are racist im not sure. I like asian people and respect their culture. and mexican are a hard working people.

Twin Tiger If you want a free plane ticket to wherever country your from just drop by the local I.N.S. office. since obama wont make it the white house without hillary, you could preplan your trip

What crap! This analysis is so simplistic it’s sickening. Gender had a great deal to do with this election…so did the DNC’s lack of leadership. Why favor Iowa and New Hampshire and punish Florida and Michigan—they’re not delinquents! The primary process is SERIOUSLY flawed…in some cases (caucuses) total anarchy. And then there’s the issue of republicans voting in the democratic primaries. I think we should just do what the English do…elect our representatives and let them choose the prime minister. That would ensure that we have someone with experience at the helm.

In my opinion… on policies there is little difference between Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama. But there were big disticntions in other important areas.
Character vs Lack of Character – Point Obama
Effective Campaign Strategy – Point Obama
Change vs the Establishment – Point Obama
Trust vs Untrustworthy – Point Obama
Negative vs Positive – Point Obama
Playing the Gender card vs Playing the Race card – Point Obama (Obama didn’t use his race as an issue, where Clinton cries sexism)
Politician vs A Better Human Being – Point Obama
Sen. Clinton is a better politician – and that’s not a compliment…

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON FOR 2008
who here feels that this stinks that hillary is not winning right now???
Let me know, you thoughts and feelings about this whole thing!!!

Who is this goonies clown? White people SUCK. They are serial killers and they produce babies with thier family members. You need to give it up!!! All the crazy post menapausal women that are mad because HRC lost, take your vote to mccain, we don’t want you!!! Everyone is so depressed because a smart, carasmatic Senator with a law degree is going to be our next president. The fool talking about black people and welfare, come on..there are more white americans in this country, you guys really have the monopoly on the public assistance program, and for the crack about our ancestors, intelligent black people laugh in your face with that silly talk from the 1920′s that has NO PLACE in this world at this time. You are sadly dissolusioned that white’s are smarter and better and all that old school stuff. Put yourself out of your misery. FOR ALL YOU DISGRUNTELED WHITE PEOPLE THAT CAN’T STAND THE THOUGHT OF YOUR NEXT PRESEDENT BEING BLACK, BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO WIN, PUT A BULLET IN YOUR HEAD, HANG YOURSELF OR TAKE SOME POISON. THE WORLD IS CHANGING, THIS IS NOT THE 60′S GET ON BOARD OR GET THE HELL OUT!!!!!

Look here you ni*ger denise from texas you can kiss all our white a**es for real, get all up in there to, make sure you get all the dingleberries off from the hairs around our a**holes too while you are at it. we want it spotless before you leave it, hear that b*tch. nig*er obama is not going to win this coming up election so you might as well hang it up because all the normal republicans and now the democrats are now going to vote for a white male name McCain since hillary is out of the running.

And to you goonies… you are right
“Dont count your chickens before they hatch bitch, he aint the president yet.”
so even you know its coming :)

To misquote the prescient James Carvell,
“It’s the war stupid.”

((
Where’s the typical race-baiting Hillary supporters always on ABC blogs? Kinda quiet these days.
Posted by: ROB | Jun 3, 2008 6:52:46 PM))
Obama supporters have been mean and nasty to Hillary supporters so we’ve all gone to McCain’s site to donate money and blog there..That’s where we are.

General, if Sen. Obama is as black as you say, and that he is a baster who was raised by white people but holds black tradition, I say you dont know what black tradition is.
Other black candidates would have had jessie jackson and al sharpton on the campaign stump with him. If Sen Obama is as black as you say he would have mentioned those two so-called black leaders. Your misunderstanding of black people is your ignorance of black people. Black people do not vote as a group like hispanics do. Sen Obama’s only black trait is his skin color. Blacks know how to bowl and play sports. Sen Obama looks awkward do those things. When his wife gave him the fist bump, it took him awhile to figure out what to do.
Michele Obama is your tipical black educated person. Sen Obama is trying to fit into that culture.
In the past word would have been out by now if Jessie Jackson was going to speak at the convention. This time Jessie Jackson will not speak at this convention so that should tell you that Sen Obama does not fit your logic.
White voters in predominately white states started the Obama movement. Majority of black people were for Hillary or John Edwards. Blacks looked at how white people started the movement and then they came on the Obama bandwagon.

Obama has judgement which is better than experience when the experience is governing homemade disasters.
Obama will win because the majority of americans are NOT racist.
The people who voted for Hillary and now switch to McCain don’t understand his positions on abortion, the Iraq War and the economy. He isn’t smart but worse, he’s wrong. I don’t think the Hillary/McCain voters number more than the fools on this board.

Hillary lost for two reasons I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere:
1. She and Bill forgot that this was the first national referendum on their conduct in the White House since 1996. Plenty of us did remember the disgrace that they exhibited on so many levels.
2. Hillary cannot claim to be the strong and independent woman that she so stridently claims to be. By choosing to stay with a serial filanderer and worse for 40 years in order to gain derivative political power and fake “experience”, she chose to be the victim and open to caricature from the “sexist” political culture.
The next female presidential candidate will be someone with personal dignity. The sexism that Hillary attributes to the media and voters won’t be a factor.
From one of “Hillary’s demographic”-a white over-60 independent female Obamakin.

To Jake, Susan and all the other idiots who will vote for McCain. Chew on this.
During McCain’s speech in New Orleans on Tuesday he chastised Bush for not going down there and and getting on the ground to see first hand how bad things were. What he didn’t tell you rubes is that Bush was at his house delivering a birthday cake for – that’s right McCain!
Also, he went down to the Florida Everglades last week to give a speech on the environment. When a reporter asked him why he voted against a clean up of the everglades he denied that he voted against it. His aides had to tell he that he did in fact vote against it. 2 weeks ago he stated that the troops in Iraq were down to pre-ssurge levels. When Senator Obama stated that we were not down to pre-surge levels McCain refused to admit he was wrong. McCain was then asked how many troop we currently have in Iraq and he didn’t know that either. Senator Obama knew and stated that anyone running for President of the Unites States should know better!
To all of you – go ahead and vote for this doddering old man. That’s your right, but don’t try to convince the rest of us that he’s more competent!
See, this is why some people brand you as racist. It’s because they can’t see any other reason why you’d vote for this man. By the way, the experience argument might carry some wait if PRESIDENT KENNEDY WASN’T A FIRST TERM SENATOR!
ASSES!
You can’t seem to deal with the fact that Senator Clinton lost because she is not better qualified. Just look at how she ran her campaign. Like our country, she’s now in debt.

CHARMED
Your post is completely ignorant. If Martin Luther King hadn’t consistently faught for civil rights for everyone, we’d still be sitting in the back of the bus. Remember moron that it was whites who enslaved blacks in the first place. Having said that, you are clearly a toothless banjo player who escaped the cast of DELIVERANCE! By the way, according to the census bureau it’s the hispanic population that is the fastest growing in america. I won’t even get into all of the other bullshit you’ve posted but let me venture to guess that unlike Senator Obama and lots of other minorities, you did not attend HARVARD! People like you who bravely post your garbage on the internet are very brave hiding behind your keyboard. I feel sorry for you. You’re clearly frightened because this country is taking a big step towards living out the true meaning of it’s creadence and it scares the hell out of you. YOU ARE MAN’S FAVORITE PART OF THE FEMALE ANATOMY! HERE KITTY KITTY KITTY!

I’m waiting for some of you Clinton turn coat supporter to respond to my post about John McCain? Your silence speaks volumes. I’ll bet none of you had a clue about any of what I posted.
You’re so well informed! What’s the matter? No clever come backs? Or are you genuinely shocked at just how stupid and senile that old man is? Go ahead, vote for McWar and watch your children and grandchildren come back from Iraq with their limbs blown off…if they come back alive at all!
IDIOTS!

Teach the DNC a lesson. Vote for McCain.

Have you ‘GOOGLED” Barack Obama The
Antichrist? Now this is scarry.

your not a true hillary backer if you support obama……UNlESS………

Dowd doesn’t address some key reasons Hillary lost: A biased media picking on her with venomous accusations and rank sexism. A string of red state victories for Obama with 90% of blacks voting for him where he amassed most of his delegates. It was a steal. Clinton won most of the final states but media bias drove it out of the spotlight.

I will post what I want when I want about whoever I want up on here. Nothing is going to stop me from that. So if you want to keep it going then more power to you. I will never back down.

NO NO NO
That does not mean that OBAMA is going to win. I am just breaking it to you gently so that your heart does not get crushed at the November elections, because I believe that OUR United States of America will not be that Stupid to have him rule OUR Country. So dont hurt too bad when he loses this November.

If so called Obama’s name was not on the ballots for Florida and Michigan, why did those two states continue the election status?? That is what I would like to know. How come someone did not speak up and tell the people that were running the ballots?? How come it was not stopped and re-scheduled for another day, so they could reprint the ballots??
I JUST FIND IT TO BE A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT.
Yeah just like back when GORE and BUSH were running, Gore won Florida and then florida had to do a recount and my gosh the talley was incorrect BUSH had won it. YEAH RIGHT, it was stolen away from GORE and given right to BUSH. Becuase BUSH has a brother in the Florida Government. Florida is a crooked state when it comes to votes. See and it has happened again stolen from Hillary and given to Obama. And now Michigan is joining the bandwagon.
RIDICULOUS, all of it.

I just realized something this morning we are about to elect Barrack Obama as President, A bastard, With a Muslim name. Maybe he” start going to a muslim church again. I,m sure our Muslim Enemies will embrace him, The Dems. have completely lost their MINDS.

BOTTOM LINE OBAMA HAS BROUGHT OUT ALL THE NON VOTERS SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS OF A DIFFERENT RACE/RELIGION IT IS NOT A RACE THING FOR ME PERSONALY I WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE TO VOTE FOR COLIN POWELL IF HE WAS RUNNING OVER ALL THE 3 RUNNING CANIDATES.I WAS VOTING FOR HILLARY BUT AS IT LOOKS EVEN IF SHE JUMPS ON OBAMA BAND WAGON I WILL BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN I M NOT HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH BRINGING IN OBAMA TO OUR OFFICE Can this be so??? Remembering helps! I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet…do it! A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves. Pause a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from history. They really happened!!! Do you remember? 1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40. 2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 4. During the 1980′s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists between the of 17 and 40. 12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. 13. In 2002 rep orter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by– you guessed it– Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. No, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people… Absolutely No Profiling! They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President’s security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling. According to The Book of Revelations: The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent , who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything. And Now: For the award winning Act of Stuidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to th e most Powerful position on the face of the Planet — The Presidency of the United states of America A Muslim Male Extremist Between the ages of 17 and 40. Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ??? I’m sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the ‘unknown’ candidate Obama… Let’s send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves — if they have any such sense. As the writer of the award winning story ‘Forrest Gump’ so aptly put it, ‘Stupid Is As Stupid Does.’

Obama didn’t win this election. He stole it.
The media’s vicious comments about Senator Clinton and Obama preventing the seating Florida and Michigan was the only reason he is holding the title of presumptive nominee.
Obama held Florida and Michigan in his pockets. The media reported that there were less delegates needed to win on all their maps and the superdelegates thought there was no mathematical way Clinton could win, so they jumped on board.
Obama was dishonest and a manipulator.
Democrats will not win without these two states regarless of what Obama thinks.
McCain will win by a landslide.

SHOULD. COULD. IF. All useless words. As the writer states, the loss is a bitter and very hard pill to swallow, not only by Hillary, by Bill and their supporters. Obama won and the next best thing to do is get the @#$%^&* over it. What’s at stake is America and the people of America who are literally catching hell to survive every day in the face of the rising costs of living, gas, home foreclosures, healthcare woes, crumbling bridges, unsafe levies, and an infrastructure that is sadly neglected. If – God forbid – there should be a major disaster – natural or terror – on the homeland, the country would be scrambling put systems inplace to deal with it. THE HOMELAND HAS TO BE PROTECTED. THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA MUST COME FIRST! America is the greatest nation on this earth and while it has to be ever vigilant in maintaining that position, systems and startegies are firmly in place to ensure that the country does not lose its grip on the power button. Therefore, the President takes the counsel from those people who are paid to keep their ears to the ground and inform and advise. The President’s primary focus in this round HAS TO BE THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND THE HOMELAND’S SECURITY.
So all of you foolish people who wrip crap about SHOULDA, WOULDA, IF, AND COULDA – Get a @#$%^& grip and get over it

Who cares what this p@n1s-head with ears has to say. The dirtbag will say anything to get a job. He is a psuedo-journo and a two-bit wh0re. May be the best advise he can offers is how to shave is bald t!t-like head. He can go f*** himself.
