Many of you say you want a female president yet you continuously demean Hillary. Sorry , but the lady (yes, lady) has always carried herself as a crusader even before she married Bill. This is why Laura Bush will not run for President.
Hillary was always destined to fight for rights of people. I don't believe one word that comes out of Obama's mouth. He's saying all the right things. The difference is he is sticking his foot in his own mouth. NAFTA, Teamsters, his xerox speeches, riding on the coattails of Hillary's ideas. He cannot think for himself. He stumbles when challenged. Hillary may not get the delegate count but she damn well got the states that elect presidents spending less money.
The DNC is in major trouble, they know this and they know their strongest candidate is Hillary. She can go head up with McCain on any issue. Obama will crash and burn because the only thing he can preach is hope and change. The problem is this hope and change involves shady characters whom will be looking for the promises that were made to them to get him the nomination and the presidency. That is why I will vote McCain for president if Obama gets the nomination. Voting for Nader won't do a thing. I will stomp for McCain the same as I am for Hillary. Many others are not far behind.
Will Obama Hit Back Hard?
After losing Ohio and Texas, his camp hints that they'll target the Clintons more harshly

When Barack Obama stepped out on stage at San Antonio's municipal auditorium to deliver his primary-night speech, the atmosphere was nothing like any of his previous election-night events. One reason: Obama was speaking outdoors, where the cheers of his supporters were met, at one point, by a swarm of bats overhead. Another reason: the Texas results were still some way off.
Obama wasted little time in focusing on Hillary Clinton, once he had congratulated her on her big victories in Ohio and Rhode Island. (Once again, Clinton failed to mention Obama's success, by the time of her speech, in Vermont.) Instead, Obama first turned his fire on the now-presumptive GOP nominee, John McCain. "He has seen where George Bush has taken our country, and he promises to keep us on the very same course," said Obama.
By the time he turned to Clinton, it was to tie her closely to McCain. "John McCain and Senator Clinton echo each other in dismissing this call for change," he said. "They say it is eloquent but empty, speeches and not solutions. And yet, they should know that it"s a call that did not begin with my words. It began with words that were spoken on the floors of factories in Ohio and across the deep plains of Texas, words that came from classrooms in South Carolina and living rooms in the state of Iowa, from first-time voters and life-long cynics, from Democrats and Republicans alike."
Behind the scenes, the Obama strategy is twofold: to start fighting against the GOP opponent, and to amp up the fight against Clinton. Both are crucial in getting Democrats—especially the superdelegates who will decide this nomination—to focus on what lies ahead. With McCain the GOP nominee, the Obama camp is convinced that the party will not want to endure several weeks of hand-to-hand combat.
Obama's aides are more than ready to turn their half-hearted criticism into a full-blown attack on the Clintons. Among the targets on the Obama campaign's list: the Clintons' tax returns, Bill Clinton's international business relationships and the secret donors to the Clinton foundation.
However the campaign is unlikely to move from 0 to 60 in a matter of days. First they are banking on wins in the next contests, in Wyoming and Mississippi. At the same time, they are likely to roll forward with a series of new superdelegate endorsements. Along the way, they will issue thinly veiled threats about the kind of negative campaign they could unleash if the party wants the race to continue.
