A Democratic Muddle

Obama will continue to get wins in Red states. Failing to mention he has no chance against a REPUBLICAN candidate there. Clinton continues to be smart and go after Democratic states.

the vote in florida is huge. With Obama unable to sway the latino vote, and with so many senior citizens , there is NO WAY Obama can claim that with campaigning, he could win Florida. His best move was to yank his name off the ballot. But his aarogance told him to try to prove he could win there anyways.

How does Obama say he can win the general election WITHOUT florida. He doesnt have the Ohio govenor either in a HUGE swing state . Florida chose the 2000 president. Ohio chose the 2004 president.

The problem with the media is that they HYPED Obama to death. The HYPING DIDNT blow clinton out of the water in New Jersey, Mass and expecially California.

The media also FAILS to mention that not only were demo leaning independents were allowed to vote in California, the republican leaning ones were SHUT OUT. Giving obama a HUGE advantage there. He got to pick up both parties independents . Yet in spite of OPRAH and Maria Shriver, he LOST by 10 full points.

LOL LOL LOL .

Dont worry. You guys in the media will SPIN IT. We voters are getting weathered to the SPIN. We just want the facts on both candidates. Not OPRAH. Not Ted Kennedy. Not decendents of JFK.

Clinton defeated the MEDIA.

Senator Obama will not only change Washington as President, I would argue that he already has. He has shown that a candidate with amazing talents can compete with the people behind him against a candidate whose campaign is extremely well funded by special interest PACS and lobbyists. Senator Obama has already rewritten the rules by telling everyone in the United States that they can impact the system. My point is more than proven by the fact that Senator Obama has raised more campaign funds from small donations than Senator Clinton, who has received more special interest PAC and lobbyist money than any other candidate seeking the nomination of their party in history.

Senator Obama will also transform Washington by bringing the American people squarely into the process. There is a reason why no other candidate has embraced Senator Obama's call to televise the hearings on health care and other thorny issues facing America. If we, the people, can watch the process, it makes it very difficult for politicians to make secret deals, or advocate quietly for the special interest PAC or lobbyist who gives them the most donations. It is interesting to note on this issue that Senator Clinton has taken so much money from the banking and financial sector. One wonders exactly how she will reign in their predatory lending practices.

I have no confidence in a man who made his wife quit a job she held for years because suddenly it didn't fit with his goals. Just goes to show you that not all woman have come as far as we should have. Bill isn't intimidated by Hillary going for her own goals.

I find it funny that a democrat will threaten to become independent if Obama wins the nomination. Good luck with throwing away your vote, hope you will be happy helping vote in another Republican. This is how parties lose elections.

I plan on supporting whichever democrat wins. I just hope its Obama. I would hope most democrats were smart enough to do the the same if Obama wins, even if they supported Clinton.

Rush Limbaugh said it on his broadcast this morning... If Hillary gets the nod, she can lose if only because she will inspire conservative backlash voting... A lot of people just don't like her style or attitude. She'll make the election very close regardless of who wins the republican nomination.

If Obama gets the nod, its over. There is no conservative that can compete with him on personality, morale grounds, or charisma. Where Hillary has baggage that can and will be used against her, Obama has none.

Most likely it will end up Clinton/Obama vs McCaine/Huckabey... Two "experienced" if somewhat dry politicians running with 2 eloquent speakers. That won't be a gimmie for either side. The Dems CAN lose if Hillary is the nominee!

I'm so tired of the media telling the voters who is going to win. We have a mind of our own. At least Clinton tells us what she plans on doing and how she is going to do it. Obama is so busy playing minister and telling us he is going to bring about change. He talks against the ones in our government but yet he accepts an endorsement from Ted Kenndy and clan. Take a good look at the ones who voted for him, they seemed to be in the higher income bracket. Where do you suppose he got his 32 millions dollars? Sure not from the lost middle income voters and for sure not the poor. As for the Kenndy endorsement That was such a laugh to the ones of us that grew up during JFK being president. History will show how JFK with the help of the mop stoled the white house. And not one word was mentioned about the young woman that Ted Kenndy lefted to drown. :But there are ones like myself that do remember. I'm not trying to smear JFK's name but there was a unknown reason why he was shot. So wake up American, be careful of the one who promises change - was that not wat George Bush promised us. And change he did. I'm a democrat and have been all my life but if Obama gets the nomination then I will join the other Democrats and become indepenents.

Difficult for me to understand how anyone can listen to Hillary Clinto speak and not be inspired and moved. People come up with such absurd labels and so much conjecture. She's a patriot -- she's devoted her adult life to this country and the fact that she is a woman means she's had to fight twice as hard and continues to have to wade through the female-bashing. Let's have our first woman president be Hillary Clinton and recognize that she will implement changes as only a she can do.

WAKE UP AMERICA the anti-Christ is not Obama it is the Clintons and all what they stood for while in Office.Immoral actions,anti religious actions by trying to remove G_d from the constitution and all. They do nothing and will do nothing less then bring total evil and corruption to the Whitehouse as they did when they were there before. So America just wake up and smell the coffee it is because Obama is just a black man running for President and the Clintons as well as America don't want that they are filled

Obama should start presenting the idea that Hillary would make a great vice president and she would be a great asset to his Presidency. A very large number of people want assurance that both will be on the ticket. People do not like the idea that one of them will be left out in the cold. Hillary???s campaign has been smart to float out the idea that Obama would make a great running mate. She wants to get the votes of people who want to see a Hillary-Obama ticket.

Granted, Hillary has worked hard for important causes. Also, many people may be right in believing that Hillary deserve the Presidency because she has paid her dues. Many may believe that Obama would be a good apprentice to Hillary. However, along the way, Hillary has relied too much on the old establishment and money. She has made too many compromises and enemies along the way. This is true about Bill Clinton as well.

As Hillarys vice president, Obama will have to use his influence to support entities and people associated with the Clintons. People do not want to put Obama, as vice president, in a position where he has to modify his message to conform to the desires of the old Clinton backers. Moreover, people do not want to relegate Obama to another piece in the Clinton machine. In the end, Obama will be tarnished by his association with a Clinton presidency. This is similar to what happened to Al Gore.

On the other hand, Obama as President, and Hillary as vice president will go very far in promoting real change in Washington and the United States. Philosophically, Hillary agrees with Obamas agenda and ideals. If Hillary president, the old establishment will impede Hillary from promoting her ideals. However, if Hillary is vice president, the old establishment will not impede Hillary and Obama from promoting their ideals.

Obama-Hillary (and not Hillary-Obama) is the only chance for real change in Washington.

i am disgusted with all the comment on racism and gender. Being an inteligent woman of color does not make me better or less than any other person in America. I do agree however, with some that Senator Obama is a great speaker with poise, but he is just not quite there as yet to take on this huge responsibility. I do honestly believe that Senator Clinton is ready to take this step. I am tired of hearing that she voted to go to war. As I recall the vote was based on what was told to them by the president. We, and I mean the American people were lied to by this same president, so stop using this against her, it is finished let us go forward. The issues facing this country today, are the rising cost of gasoline, the immegration issues, the 51million uninsured or underinsured people in this coubtry, the mortgage problem, everyday people are loosing their homes by the buckets. The unemployemt situation, bringing home the troops as soon as possible and then we still have to deal with the ungoing threat of Iran in the middle east. Yes, people their are a lot of issues to be delt with, so let us electe the person that could go into this right after election and start to work for the American people and get us out of this recession. Then their is the issue on education which Hillary has a excellent plan for. She is ready and willing and able with yes lots of hands down experience. Yes she has made mistakes in the past, but, so did Obama. She is the better candidate for this job. Finally, I feel as a women very disrepected by all of you who wrote that she should stay home and clean house and also those who keep bringing up the past situation about then president Clinton. How dear you, you chuvanistic pigs, I not intended for the good men out there). This is the 21st century not the 18th, so get over the fact that yes we as woment do have brains, just to take care of your dirty laundry is work and not to forget we run the homes that you have no idea of doing if we are not there. So yes, a woman could be president of this country, and be compassionate and understanding, and shed a few tears, and do a DARN GOOD JOB AT IT........ thank you......

Stop hating on the black man thats whats wrong with this country now. ( RACISM ) just because he's black doesn't mean he can't get the job done. Clinton been there done that lets try something new
