A little side note to go along with this NH Unity issue…and McCain’s attempt at gaining it.
Exeter NH is the birthplace of the republican party and it probably will go for Obama this year…seems that speaks loudly to the race.

so all my friends and family are voting obama… who cares… i bet all of your family is republican too
you vote for someone to lead the super power… lol then why would you ever pick mccain? Unless you are pro war
He is a blunder gaffe a minute on every other issue.
I am voting for obama because he can bring integrity and strength back to the united states. Obama will allow americans to rise from the horrible shadow of fear that has darkened our skys for the last 8 years. Obama is going to restore the worlds faith in america and what we stand for…

I think the last 8 years have been the travesty.
You trying to spin Obama as the travesty is not only sad but scary…
Do yuo see what the last 8 years have done? because of statements like the one you just throw out there…
Those whacko statements just reinforce to America why the last 8 years have damaged us so bad…people that believe in the comments you make have been running the country… how scary is that.

very good article jake,
we understand that obama needs sen. clinton to help him. and she will.
but not even sen. clinton can save obama from the mistakes he makes out of his own mouth, showing just how so not ready to be president he is.
the obama people are showing they are green at this (and i know they are not) but calling people “sore losers” how childish. even if the clinton’ are being sore losers, let it stay on them and let others say that. but for obama to say it-makes them look bad also, the whole dem party looks bad.
it makes it look like obama and crew really don’t think they can win without sen. clinton’ help.
I hope the people who care about sen. clinton will continue to come forth and give donations to her to help retire her debt, the obama’s need her but they really don’t want her-i don’t want her to campaign for him. i want her to go back to the senate, she has taken on enough abuse for this year.
no more abuse to sen. clinton.

******************
Give me a break! Politics is a contact sport and if Clinton wasn’t strong enough to take it in the Primaries, then she surely would have folded under the pressure of a General Election.
Her complaints about the media coverage, the “sexism”, etc. shows she is not strong enough to be leader of the Free World.
I am just glad it came out during the Primary.
Posted by: jmc663 | June 24, 2008, 11:06 am 11:06 am
well then not sure why you would ever vote for someone like mccain since he goes against pretty much everything that we democrats care about… I mean to vote against yoru beliefs because you are bitter or jaded or scorned is a betrayal of yourself…
and you do realize that obama stacks up pretty well against other very well liked presidents in terms of his resume and what he has accomplished…. so i guess i just dont understand your thin resume argument as it appears to eb an excuse to vote for mccain in an attempt to hide your anger and scorn.
Ronald Reagan, who served as the President of the United States from 1981-1989, had only eight years of government experience – three fewer than Obama – on his “resume.”
Similarly, 20th century Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson won the presidency despite having thinner resumes than Obama (Wilson, for example, served a single two-year term as the Governor of New Jersey prior to becoming President).
This is a common myth perpetuated by the right and reinforced by Senator Clinton who had less elected and legislative experience than Obama. Additionally, both Bush and Bill Clinton had less foreign policy experience than Senator Obama.
And of course, as well as Senator Obama’s 8 years in the State Senate of Illinois and 3 years in Congress, a total of 11 years in elected office, he has something that is probably more important and more relevant to becoming President than any one of the candidates who vied for the Presidency this year, and that is his years spent teaching constitutional law.
Since George Bush has repeatedly wiped his boots on the constitution, I can’t think of a better qualification than Senator Obama’s experience as a constitutional Law Professor for the University of Chicago and his his civil rights experience as a lawyer.
Our constitution is in dire need of someone as President who respects it, and understands it from a legal standpoint.

Obama and Clinton are on the right side of the issues…
and the issues are sooo important right now…and the country knows it.
They know game playing with the truth and slandering took our eye off the problems.
This time it’s about the issues and fixing the problems…not this person knows this person…and this person doesn’t wear a flag pin (when none of them were wearing a flag pin…oy) or we need to ignore the facts on the ground…and incite fear and ethnocentrism to motivate a vote against people voting with logic…
not this time.
the cross roads with this vote is either…continue on the same downhill road where we are picking up speed (because 96% of Mccain’s promises and policies are the same no matter what kind of quick change deal they are trying to spin it)
or a bunch of people saying lets listen to the experts and not try to say they don’t matter.
we have seen this playbook…
Obama and Clinton …
and Biden…and Powell and Gates and Gingrich and Edwards and Hagel and Petraeus (both Petraeus and Gates have said they think Obama would do a great job now) and Gore…
and all those generals that were fired by the bush administration…
and the overwhelming majority of economists (who Mccain says don’t know anything now)
and almost every last one of our allies…
all saying
They are going to work to get us away from this road…but for all of those minds to get on board with their constituencies behind them and without “closed door secret sessions”, bull headed drive to war mentality and with the campaign running lobbyists standing in the way…
we need to throw out the bums and their plans…unfortunately for John McCain…that is his entire platform.

You are dreaming if you think HIllary will team up with Obama. She is so far advanced above him politically with her career. We are hoping that she teams up with John MCCain, just about the only person, who didn’t insult and degrade her, during the campaign process. It is a sad day for the Democratic party when the other party treats one of their candidates better than they did. They should be ashamed of themselves. We are the group, whom Obama’s camp and others claim, are only on the OUTER FRINGES of the Democratic party. Well, we now have 3 million members nationwide, running a grass roots campaign, to be sure that Barrack Obama is not elected to the office of President. The MCCain campaign has reached out to us and we are meeting with them regularly. Check the Times Leader newspaper from Wilkes-Barre, PA. They are going to do an article about our group, HILLARY SUPPORTERS COUNT TOO. We are having a local rally and there will be several hundred people attending it. So, if you really believe that 2-3 million does not constitute anything important to Obama’s campaign than I guess you don’t have anything to worry about, do you? I think that 2-3 million people can decide who will be elected and who will not be elected. The Democratic party cannot even get a candidate elected anymore because they have gotten off of the path so badly. They couldn’t elect Kerry and than they pushed an inexperienced young man like Obama who is an excellent public speaker, to try and clinch the deal. What does that say about them? They are so desperate they will employ any tactic they can to get someone elected. If they went back to the older ideals of the Democratic party they would not be having this problem. GO MCCAIN! Our grass roots organization has just begun and if you think the young people are on fire for Obama across the country wait until you see how burned up the women are in this country about Obama’s sexist comments towards Hillary Clinton! Let’s see, they are fired up over a young candidate and we are fired up because of being oppressed. Who do you think will have the staying power? Good riddance to bad rubbish is what i say about Obama! And, we are also are going to be organized and ready to help defeat any delegate who stabbed Hillary Clinton in the back. It will not end with the November election. We will still be working hard to defeat people like Senator Bob Casey from PA.
Thank you,

Theme song for Hillary supporters Count too! Done to the music of Candle in the wind by Sir Elton John
President HIllary
Although we never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold your head tall
When the insults began to fall
A hometown girl from Scranton
Who even after you resigned
All the Press had to say
Was that Hillary only whined
It seems to us you ran your race
like a candle in the wind
Never really having a party to cling to
When the cruelty set in
We would have loved to know you
as our President
Dem party blew out that dream long ago
BUT WE NEVER WILL
ETC, ETC., ETC. We will not just go away or fall in line and vote for who the Dem party says we HAVE to vote for. In their dreams!

Posted by: what a country | June 24, 2008, 12:02 pm 12:02 pm
Nope. I have been a lifelong Democrat. I campaigned for John Kerry and if I ever knew that he would have stabbed Hillary Clinton in the back like he did, I never would have voted for him or campaigned for him. Nope. I had always said to vote straight democrat anymore because of the Republicans had done to this country with George Bush, jr. But, after haven seen that in a 1-1/2 they accomplished relatively nothing I began to lose my drive to support them. And, recently, seeing how Obama turned down public campaign funding, so he could secure scads of money, to outspend McCain I found myself questioning who the Republican really was between the two of them. This is why we are so upset. It is not only about Hillary being treated in a sexist manner by Obama, it is not just about Hillary losing the nomination. it is about something far more important to us. We are trying to reclaim our party from those who have taken it so far off track, that we cannot even get a candidate elected anymore. And, say what you want about the Republican party, but I did not see anyone lambasting any particular candidate party the way the dems and Obama did to Hillary Clinton. They should be ashamed of themselves. Especially, Barrack Obama because he is a minority himself and he should have known better and should have taken the high road. But, he chose not to. We were planning on voting for him but when he continued attacking Hillary clinton that is when he lost us. He made his bed now let him sleep. As a matter of fact, I served an internship with a republican congressman in the 80s and I refused to change my party registration for him. I am still not changing my party registration for anyone. But, I do believe that the first step in reclaiming the Democratic party is to have Obama defeated and to teach the Democratic party a lesson. I can live with 4 years of MCCain. Now Bush, that would be another story. But, McCain, I can deal with 4 years with him, no problem. He is not a bad guy. I would have rathered been working for Hillary right now for her election but that obviously is not the case. The Dems have to learn how to treat women candidates fairly and they have to learn that just because they jump on someone’s bandwagon, that they don’t have the right, to force that person down the rest of the country’s throat. Me Republican? That is so funny! NEVER. But, me, a woman, supporting John MCCain so we can defeat Obama. You betcha!! Go McCain!!
Posted by: Mary Anne | June 24, 2008, 12:12 pm 12:12 pm
Nope, Not living in the past at all. I am living in the present and we are taking a stand. We should have taken this stand a long time ago and we would now have Hillary as the nomineed if had done it. But better late than never. We are now mobilized and will not back down. We will stand our ground.Living in the past, hmmmm. Perhaps there some truth to that comment. Especially since Obama’s race had Civil Rights legislation they have a law with some teeth in it. The equal rights amendment never passed in Washington. Perhaps if we had a law with some teeth in it sexixt behavior towards women would no longer exist because everyone would know that we had a law with some teeth in it to protect ourselves. So, living in the past? I guess I am about that matter. We never got the protection that the minorities got. So how do you like those apples?

One more thought about the HILLARY SUPPORTERS COUNT TOO! group. We have support that goes all the way to the top of the Democratic party. So what does that tell you? It indicates that the party is splintered and divided. Oh yes, Obama was such a great unifier for this country. Isn’t that what they claimed about W? What a joke! W and Obama have divided this country like it was never divided before. Perhaps Obama took lessons from W. He definitely knows how to strong arm people and domineer people. The only reason Hillary is uniting with Obama is because her arm is being twisted behind her back by the Dem party. BUT THEY CAN’T DO THAT TO US! GO MCCAIN1 LET’S DEFEAT OBAMA IN THE FALL LADIES!! YES, YES, YES!!!

island girl,
what is so difficult about the fact that
sen. clinton does not NEED obama to show her any respect.
if sen. clinton stopped all public life appearances and went home today, her good legacy is set.
she does not need obama nor does she need obama to pay off her debt.
do you all think sen. clinton is the first or the last person to run for president and not have campaign debt?
this is not the first time this has happened. it is just new and NEWS to you. so stop talking about things you don’t really understand, as if sen. clinton is standing around personally waiting for obama himself to write her a check.
the obama’ don’t really want the clinton’s around, he does not need her.
i wish she would just go back to the senate and bill go back to the cgi and continue to do the good work they have done.
all of you bad-mouthing the clintons will not stop them from doing the good work they do for others. and for thoses of you who say they don’t help. try and tell that to some of the black kids who have help with staying in the hbcu’ or tell that to some of the people in the inner city who now have aids meds because of the help from the clintons.
why don’t you obama supporters just stick to praising obama-without trying to tear sen. clinton and her husband down.
obama is your guy, why are you still talking about and running sen. clinton down?

I had always said to vote straight democrat anymore because of the Republicans had done to this country with George Bush, jr. But, after haven seen that in a 1-1/2 they accomplished relatively nothing I began to lose my drive to support them. And, recently, seeing how Obama turned down public campaign funding, so he could secure scads of money, to outspend McCain I found myself questioning who the Republican really was between the two of them. This is why we are so upset. It is not only about Hillary being treated in a sexist manner by Obama, it is not just about Hillary losing the nomination. it is about something far more important to us. We are trying to reclaim our party from those who have taken it so far off track, that we cannot even get a candidate elected anymore. And, say what you want about the Republican party, but I did not see anyone lambasting any particular candidate party the way the dems and Obama did to Hillary Clinton. They should be ashamed of themselves. Especially, Barrack Obama because he is a minority himself and he should have known better and should have taken the high road. But, he chose not to. We were planning on voting for him but when he continued attacking Hillary clinton that is when he lost us. He made his bed now let him sleep. As a matter of fact, I served an internship with a republican congressman in the 80s and I refused to change my party registration for him. I am still not changing my party registration for anyone. But, I do believe that the first step in reclaiming the Democratic party is to have Obama defeated and to teach the Democratic party a lesson. I can live with 4 years of MCCain. Now Bush, that would be another story. But, McCain, I can deal with 4 years with him, no problem. He is not a bad guy. I would have rathered been working for Hillary right now for her election but that obviously is not the case. The Dems have to learn how to treat women candidates fairly and they have to learn that just because they jump on someone’s bandwagon, that they don’t have the right, to force that person down the rest of the country’s throat. Me Republican? That is so funny! NEVER. But, me, a woman, supporting John MCCain so we can defeat Obama. You betcha!! Go McCain!!

Nope, Not living in the past at all. I am living in the present and we are taking a stand. We should have taken this stand a long time ago and we would now have Hillary as the nomineed if had done it. But better late than never. We are now mobilized and will not back down. We will stand our ground.Living in the past, hmmmm. Perhaps there some truth to that comment. Especially since Obama’s race had Civil Rights legislation they have a law with some teeth in it. The equal rights amendment never passed in Washington. Perhaps if we had a law with some teeth in it sexixt behavior towards women would no longer exist because everyone would know that we had a law with some teeth in it to protect ourselves. So, living in the past? I guess I am about that matter. We never got the protection that the minorities got. So how do you like those apples?

One more thought about the HILLARY SUPPORTERS COUNT TOO! group. We have support that goes all the way to the top of the Democratic party. So what does that tell you? It indicates that the party is splintered and divided. Oh yes, Obama was such a great unifier for this country. Isn’t that what they claimed about W? What a joke! W and Obama have divided this country like it was never divided before. Perhaps Obama took lessons from W. He definitely knows how to strong arm people and domineer people. The only reason Hillary is uniting with Obama is because her arm is being twisted behind her back by the Dem party. BUT THEY CAN’T DO THAT TO US! GO MCCAIN1 LET’S DEFEAT OBAMA IN THE FALL LADIES!! YES, YES, YES!!!

The perfect and the imperfect, the good and the bad, the true democrat and the true socialist are going to campaign together. Too bad, the best candidate is being blackmailed by the DNC and Obama.

sandra j,
and so what, if she does?

island girl,
what is so difficult about the fact that
sen. clinton does not NEED obama to show her any respect.
if sen. clinton stopped all public life appearances and went home today, her good legacy is set.
she does not need obama nor does she need obama to pay off her debt.
do you all think sen. clinton is the first or the last person to run for president and not have campaign debt?
this is not the first time this has happened. it is just new and NEWS to you. so stop talking about things you don’t really understand, as if sen. clinton is standing around personally waiting for obama himself to write her a check.
the obama’ don’t really want the clinton’s around, he does not need her.
i wish she would just go back to the senate and bill go back to the cgi and continue to do the good work they have done.
all of you bad-mouthing the clintons will not stop them from doing the good work they do for others. and for thoses of you who say they don’t help. try and tell that to some of the black kids who have help with staying in the hbcu’ or tell that to some of the people in the inner city who now have aids meds because of the help from the clintons.
why don’t you obama supporters just stick to praising obama-without trying to tear sen. clinton and her husband down.
obama is your guy, why are you still talking about and running sen. clinton down?
