    Comment: I'm glad Hillary's staying in the race. Let her stay as long as she wants. I don't know why people think SHE is dividing the party. The party was divided early on. It became divided when Hillary received a great amount of scrutiny and Obama received a pass. People refused to vet all the candidates equally. As i've said before, none of the candidates are perfect, far from it but it seems they all have an equal amount of skeletons in their closets. We should have vetted all the candidates equally. Instead, Hillary was unfairly singled out and others given a pass. So the democratic party made a big mistake by actively promoting Obama, their "golden boy" instead of letting the voters come to their own decisions. Democrats endorsed him left and right. CNN, MSNBC, the big three, Time, Newsweek, all were promoting Obama like he was the second coming. Where was the fairness in that. The democratic party divided itself long ago.

    Comment: Change and hope mean nothing if you are a divider instead of a uniter. Instead, change and hope become empty buzzwords.

    Comment: Goodbye, Obama. Your change rhetoric was fun while it lasted. Your whole campaign is for nothing if you can't attract enough voters to win the general election. Thanks for playing. Go back to the senate as your consolation prize.

  • Posted By: 5leavesleft @ 05/11/2008 9:55:20 PM

    Comment: Sorry, Obama, this won't be the year for you. Voters can see what you are: just a regular politician like all the others. Where is the "change" and the "hope" that you are supposed to represent? It's all just a tremendous disappointment for the democrats and America in general.

    Comment: Barack Hussein Obama's campaign played the race card against Geraldine Ferraro and Bill Clinton. Those were two cheap shots that will come back to hurt Obama. African American will call it racist for saying this, the rest of us call it reverse discrimination. Does Obama know what that is ? He's supposed to be highly educated you know.

    Comment: hey JrManPoo, where were your crys for milk and honey when it was Hitlery spreading the "hate" it and it's supporters have done nothing but take the bait everytime the "republiscams" have offered up..."Wright", "Ayers", and her own attack with "bitter-gate" (laughable), it has ALL bown up in it's face, and Obama has just continued to get stronger, and now has the lead in Super Delegates 276 - 271.5 (AP reports). Only now do you cry for sweetness, and complain about "P!ss and Vinegar", when it was Hitlery, IT was "being tough", when we (Obama/America supporters) stand up for the truth, you cry foul...I'm afraid I'm gonna have to say it...."if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"....that has to sting a little...lol.
    Now if you would sacrifice our country by voting for "McBush" because your feelings are hurt by someone having an diffeerent oppinion than you, get over it or do NOT claim to be an American. He is wining, your threats mean nothing, America is speaking, can't you hear it?

    OBAMA-NATION!!!

      Comment: Ohh harley poopoo. I don't trust Obama and if you supporters want to go there knock yourselves out. I happen to enjoy my life and have participated in the political process since I was 21. I have also been brought up to believe nothing is free. Everything comes with a price. I'm not naive.
      That being said, Hillary (not Hitlery) will do what is best for the party. You and the other supporters will benefit from her expertise. SHE will be the one to unite the dems. Even the dems know that. So be a good little Obama supporter and stop with the attacks. Not helping your cause any. In fact the more hate ( which is ironic because Obama has preached hope and change) you folks spew, the further away we go. Hope and change, HUH! Its still the same o same o politics. With the same o same o results only these people really don't know how to play with the big dogs.

    Comment: I see the ignorant, uniformed, bias, voting for the very first time, supporters still don't get it.
    Voting present on matters of concern is not taking a stand or responsibility.
    Using someone else's words and hard work is not honest hard labor.
    Nader will get the Hispanic voting base, McCain will get the other 1/3 and Obama will retain the ones he already got. By that same measurement Obama will not get that many working class poor because he is not the working class poor. He pretends just to get votes. Neither is McCain but we know that up front. That is transparency.
    Nader will get the votes that Obama supporters continue to call idotic names.
    One-half of the voting population did not make it to the polls in the primary. They will in November. The numbers are deceiving. I am a registered Democrat but I am voting Republican because I already know a vote for Nader will not make a difference. So I am taking a stand and voting my conscience.
    Also the republicans who voted to keep Hillary from becoming the nominee will go back to McCain. Again the numbers are deceiving.
    Obama supporters if you want your MAN to get into the White House, then you need the Hillary supporters to get that job done. Calling US names, ridiculing, and dismissing our opinions only reinforces our position of lies and deceit where Obama is concerned. Those who cry the loudest usually have the most to hide. That too is transparency.
    So you Obama supporters keep up the good work alienating the Hillary supporters. See how far you get with all that piss and vinegar.

    Comment: Hillary Clinton is the New York Giants and Barack Hussein Obama is the New England Patriots.

    As Chris Berman on NFL Countdown always says , " thats why they play the game ". So the game goes on and lets see who pulls it off.

      Comment: ummm, scooter, I think I asked this before, and I don't recall your response, so could you please repost it? If you really are a "Concerned Canadian" (highly doubt it), why do you care so, so very deeply about the outcome of a primary election in a country that is never even yours?

      I'm pretty sure that I would not be vexing myself almost hourly re the outcome of the primaries in Canada for the PM - could you enlighten here, please?

        Comment: Deep, although CC comes here and insults our country regularly, he wishes he was American too. He's bored up there in Canada. He's envious.

        • Posted By: deep_eye @ 05/10/2008 21:55:02

          Comment: Seriously doubt that he/she is either "concerned" or "Canadian" - does not pass the test of rationality. This reminds me of the stunt Kerry pulled four years ago about Bush (whom I detest, anyway) but the gist is, Kerry made the remark that "Even people in other countries have told me they don't want Bush in office." When he was challenged to produce or name these people or nations, he shut up like a clam....

          Are you seriously suggesting that Clinton supporters (like their candidate) can be.....dare I say it? Dishonest?????

          • Posted By: Jrmapu @ 05/11/2008 17:59:13

            Comment: I can produce it. I have the pictures to prove it. The thing about Bush. Guess what ? He still got re-elected. Convincingly in fact. I didn't vote for him but he did do it. Didn't even get impeached. Why? Bible belt. Bible belt. Bible belt.

          • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 05/10/2008 22:00:25

            Comment: I have some doubts too about CC even though he has been posting for as long as I have, about three months now. He's probably a Clinton staffer.

    Comment: Clinton supporters, please let's cut the bull crap. You have kept this country down for so long and we are tired of it. Why in the world because of your anger and hatred would you elect someone who wants to run the country and treats the people like they are dumb and stupid to satisfy her own ego.
    Look up the word pandering. Are you really someone who can be pandered?

    This country needs to move forward and unite. Watch TV we are sinking very low. All this dumb bullshit about what someone's pastor is crap. Hillary had an opportunity to run a very honest and sincere campaign with the people in mind not to satisfy her ego. She has the uneducated followers which she has said herself. We have too many mixed children in this world and that stupid anger, racism, hatred because of the situation you're in needs to stop. Your anger keeps you in that situation. Let this country move forward.

    She did this to herself. And McCain, with all due respect to not technologically ready to take someone into a future. Cut this ***. We all want to prosper and move forward. I am tired of being played by Washington. Their interests in Iraq are making more money than our troops from taxpayers. People are being used as political pawns in their game. Cut this crap. This is about survival. Be real and use some smarts.

    Comment: Unions and working people should know Obama is for them. The Teamsters union endorses Obama. Here is what Jimmy Hoffa, the head of the Teamster???s union says: ???Senator Obama understands the challenges working people face every day,??? Mr. Hoffa said. ???He is the candidate in the best position to lead our movement to restore the American dream for working people in this country.??? The American Federation of Government employees union just announced they are also for Obama. Many other unions are for Obama too, like the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, UNITE HERE, Transport Workers Union, UFCW, SEIU, International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, and Utility Workers.

    All these unions know American workers need more than a band aid like a summer tax ???holiday???. Hillary Clinton and John McCain's "tax relief" for summer gas taxes are nothing more than another gimmick. They do not even provide enough relief in the short term. They will save the average American about $50 bucks all Summer, or a lot less than a quarter of the $400 tax rebate we are getting from Bush, who has been a disaster for American workers. And economists don???t like the Clinton/McCain the gas tax break. They say it may cause more people to buy gas, raising the price to offset the tax break so the whole stunt doesn???t even work.

    The whole half-backed gas tax "relief" thing is just pandering for our votes. I give Obama credit for not going along with this typical Washington baloney. He knows we need real energy reform to reduce our reliance on foreign oil and ease demand so prices will drop. Playing around with short-term tax ???holidays??? to win votes shows what Hillary and McCain are about.

      Comment: I am in the union. Don't trust them either. Someone very close to me was in the Laborers Union. He could not get a job. He had to sit on the bench and wait and wait and wait. The thing is unions are just as corrupt as politicians. Its who you know not what or in what position you are on the list. This person found their own job. The union would not let the company take this person unless they took two people from the bench. Their friend and relative. The one who found his own job was the reliable one. The other two tried to sue the company. Many of these so called union personnel is LAZY. They want everything without working for it. Another friend in the Electrical Union told an official he would need to picket thier company because they were using unskilled non-union labor. They found out the non-union company were more fair then the union company. In fact they exceeded expectations. So union jobs are overrated and can be corrupt. don;t get me wrong union is needed if a persons rights are being violated. But the higher it gets, the more corrupt it becomes. Washington works the same way. Obama will be no different. That is what is frustrating. Many of the Obama supporters put him on a pedestal and those of us know better. But we are the ones being stupid, ignorant, bigots, etc., etc. So I don't put too much stock in unions.

    The link above was publiched this morning in the NY Times...Hillary is starting to see the reality of what is going on, and so are her advisors. Too bad this did not happen before her last commentary...

  • Posted By: 5leavesleft @ 05/10/2008 12:49:57 PM

    Comment: People are no longer voting for the party. Instead they are voting for the candidate. That is why we've seen an increase in independents in recent years. People are disgusted with both parties and are voting for the candidate that will best represent their interests, regardless of party affiliation.

  • Posted By: 5leavesleft @ 05/10/2008 12:45:51 PM

    Comment: There will be other issues concerning Obama that will be brought to light. Obama's got questionable judgement and troubling associations that will be fodder for the Republicans. Had she been the democratic nominee, Hillary would have been able to avoid all that because Americans see Clinton=scandal and to them its nothing new. Most voters don't pay attention anymore because its always something scandalious with the Clintons. People have come to expect that and it isn't much of a distraction. Obama's scandals are recent in the public mind. Voters will and have been paying attention to them. It is a likely bet that more Obama scandals will come to light. This will hurt Obama's chances of winning. So in terms of who would been have able to handle the public scrutiny and McCain attacks it would have been Hillary. We can expect to be saying President John McCain come November. President John McCain will be our reality come November. Too bad the Republicans nominated him, I would have prefered Romney or Guliani. Even Huckabee was better. I hope Republican converservative will keep President McCain honest.

        Comment: See, this is really sad, delusional thinking. It's like when you were 6 years old and you didn't get invited to the kid next doors' birthday party. Remember what you did? Consoled yourself that the cake was probably lousy, the ice cream sour, the pony rides lame, the magician bad, nobody was going to have any fun anyway, etc., etc.

        How pathetic that some of us are still 6 years old and peering through the fence and scowling at the party next door....

    Comment: Obama cannot win the general election. Obama cannot win the general election because he would have to pull support from a majority of demographics that he has largely ignored in the primaries. If he wants to win he better start now because November is coming up. Obama hasn't changed much of his rhetoric talking about getting rid of the "fat cats" i.e. Washington politics as usual, non-sensical platitudes and of course his "change, change, change" mantra. Don't think for a second that he isn't every bit the politician like the other two. The DNC has been grooming him ever since his democratic convention speech. People by and large have already made up their minds about Obama and McCain. Its going to take some serious convincing to get those voters that Obama has consistently ignored to vote for him. They'd sooner vote for John McCain.

  • Posted By: 5leavesleft @ 05/10/2008 12:20:26 PM

    Comment: Obama is just a poor excuse of a democratic nominee. He can't beat John McCain, who also has his moments of far left leanings and so-called bi-partisanship. I don't know why people like Obama. I don't know why people like McCain. Unfortunately, we're stuck with both of them. Its left (McCain) and left-er (Obama). At least with McCain, I've seen his record and i know what his domestic and foreign policy is. I don't like it but i know Republican conservatives will attempt to keep him in line. With Obama, I don't see any kind of oversight from Reagan democrats or any democrats for that matter. Its dangerous to have someone so unproven and untested be the commander-in-chief. He is more likely to screw up the country than to help it.

  • Posted By: 5leavesleft @ 05/10/2008 12:12:19 PM

    Comment: Obama will be the democratic nominee but the Republicans wanted to go up against him because Obama is the weaker candidate. Obama can't win in the general election. He is even farther left than Hillary Clinton. McCain is not a conservative but he is way more conservative than Obama. There is no way that Obama can carry the red states or any significant big states.

    • Posted By: deep_eye @ 05/10/2008 19:12:37

      Comment: This must be why then, that many many hard core Republicans in my district changed parties to vote for Hillary in the PA primary - because Obama will actually be easier to beat in the Fall? So, just to make sure I understand, these Republicans want their candidate to face the more difficult opponent in the GE - that about the gist of your argument?

      RIIIIIGGGGGHHHTTTTTT............

  • Posted By: 5leavesleft @ 05/10/2008 10:35:50 AM

    Comment: There is a lot of time between now and November and its going to be an uphill climb for Obama. I don't think he can or will try to appeal to all voters. Obama, his advisors nearest him, his supporters, and the Democratic party will try and spin things and make him seem as if he could be the next president that will unite the country. In the end, John McCain will be our next president. Without Hillary in the race and with the contest between Obama and McCain, McCain will have a solid victory.

    • Posted By: deep_eye @ 05/10/2008 19:09:09

      Comment: Guess we'll have to take that chance, then won't we? See, it is precisely this line of reasoning and convoluted argumentation that is causing more and more Americans to reject the Clintons. Well past due time for that, I would propose.....

  • Posted By: 5leavesleft @ 05/10/2008 10:27:51 AM

    Comment: Hillary had an advantage in the general election because Republicans have been going through her past and her dealings for years. There really isn't anything new about Hillary that the Republicans could bring up. With Obama, there are plenty of skeletons in his closet and i'm sure more will come to light in the general election. In this respect, Obama was always the weaker candidate.

    • Posted By: deep_eye @ 05/10/2008 11:40:29

      Comment: So, you're still delusional, but hopeful I guess? The Clintons have orders of magnitude more "baggage" in their past, if for no other reason than they have been in politics much longer than Obama. I will not list the long (and growing) roll call of legal, moral and ethical issues that cling to them like fleas on a dog but I assure you, the Republicans certainly will.

      Did you forget Paul vs Clinton, coming to a courtroom near you in Fall, 2008? - again, I assure you, the Republicans have not.

      If the Wright issue is all the Clintons really have against Obama (and I suspect that it is, otherwise, what are they waiting for, to release this new "smoking gun?"), then there really is not much they will be mounting against him.

      Try to remember this

    Comment: Obama does not wish to be nominated by the superdelegates at this point. It is in the interest of BOTH candidates to finish the primaries and let Hillary win a few unimportant states first, before Obama is officially declared the nominee. Hillary's supporters are needed in the fall. That is why Obama even offered to pay for the debts she is now piling up.

    • Posted By: Dartay @ 05/10/2008 09:14:40

      Comment: Obama has been making his premature victory lap in DC wrapping up his supers AND he is planning on declaring a win by May 20th because his campaign says he will have a MAJORITY of delegates NOT the magic number.

  • Posted By: Jrmapu @ 05/10/2008 2:07:19 AM

    Comment: Hillary supporters should be proud of Hillary. She is staying true to her word. All the way to June 3, 2008. Actually Hillary is the one wanting every vote to count even if she bankrupts herself doing it. Thats how much she loves America. Too bad America rather have rhetoric. The democratic party will need her to unite the party. I say let them sink themselves. They deserve it after putting AMERICA through all this. McCain really is not your typical republican. We won't know that until the general election. He has 11 of my immediate family members voting for him over Obama.
    CC - the green jobs will be some social program with affirmative action attached to it. Costing more tax money for us with few people qualifying for these phanthom jobs.

    Comment: Barack Hussein Obama stated several times in his campaign that he will commit $150 Billion on the creation of "Green " jobs.

    Question. How is Obama gonna get all that money , what is a ' Green ", how many of these jobs will be created and how much does it pay ?

    No one has been able to answer that yet. Maybe we'll find out when Obama is in the White House.

      Second, I assume from your tortured grammar that you were trying to say - "camel jockey" - a derogatory term usually reserved for people from, or indigenous to the middle eastern regions of the world. Obama is not of middle eastern extraction, is NOT a muslim nor does he practice Islam, either seceretly or publically.

      Comment: Any body who said they was going to vote for HRC but will now vote for McCain-is an-LET ME BE VERY CLEAR- IDIOT or a RACIST. Obama and HRC policies are 95% exactly the bleeping same. Who did HRC call during the Lewinsky thing? Wright. Who also gave to her campaign that gave to Obama'a also-Rezko. AND HER CLOSEST CONFIDANT-GOV. RENDELL-GAVE A PRO ISLAM SPEECH, AT A MOSQUE, IN FRONT OF FARRAKHAN-so your point has to be you are retarded or a racist. I have more respect for you if you are retarded. It's not Obama's fault she had no plan B, mismanged her money to a point where he has to bail her out and her husband keep making gaffe's. SHE CAME INTO THE CYCLE WITH THE HIGHEST NEGATIVES OF ALL TIME. And Ignorantly keeps adding to it. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND LOOK IN THE FREAKIIN MIIRROR. That's why she lost-This is what happens when you run a scortched earth campaign against a person who is running perhaps the most dignified campaign ever. If she had any self respect she would turn into a liberal Huckabee and continue with class. Do you HRC supporters realize that Obama has been SUPER DUPER NICE and what the Conservatives would bring back up if HRC is the nominee?!-LET ALONE ANYTHING NEW THAT MAY DROP ON HER NEW?..........I would vote for HRC over McCain in a heartbeat eventhough I would be hurt by Obama not getting it-WHY? Because I am not retarded or a racist.

        Comment: TRUE.. a TRUE Democrat will NOT go Republican just because their feelings are hurt. However, with all these NEW voters, they have come on board NOT necessarily for the party , but for their candidate. Those are the ones to watch out for to vote for McCain.

    Comment: Any person who says that they will not vote for the democratic nominee is not a democrat. I can just imagine women who still want the right to an abortion will vote for John McCain_ludicrous. Neither can I imagine an African American voting for McCain just because their candidate loses. So Obama won. Do you actually think that Hillary could steal the election and win over black votes in November. The same would be true if Obama stole the election. She lost legitimately, and that is a fact. In fact, she lost despite of having more money and more political clout of any of her rivals. America is ready for a woman president. However, not just any woman and once and for all, not Hillary.

      Comment: If America was truly ready for a woman as president, Hillary would have been it. She has the experience, the name, the money. BUT she NEVER had the endorsements of the MALE established party elders. Washington DC made up their mind, they were NOT going to be bossed by a female, they had NO intention of Hillary making it this far AND they pushed a rookie into the spotlight.

        Comment: Don't dellude yourself - she self-destructed, there is/was no "male conspiracy" to deny her the nomination. Think back to the very start of these primaries - she was riding high, unstoppable, invincable...if there was a male dominated plan to derail her candidacy, it certainly failed miserably in those early months.

        Then, people started to see troubling aspects of her character (lying), stability (crying), flawed planning (the need to lend her own money to her campaign repeatedly), failure to address real issues, etc., etc., Where these too, all part of the grand "male master plan" to deny her what she rightfully earned?

    Comment: Just red a article at Yahoo news it said "Hillary Democrats could be up for grabs", this not a first article describing how much support Hillary has among whites and hard working people out there, so again if she wanna listen me go independent, in four way race clearly she will have pretty good chances to win, I mean I don't wanna vote for Nader or Mccain if I don't have to, otherwise if she decide to drop out and endorse O Hussein I still among the others will not vote for him it will either be Nader or McCain unfortunattely, so Hillary go independent and you will be for surprise how much of support you will have, go Hillary.

    Comment: If Clinton wants to stay in, let her stay. If Obama is considered for all intents and purposes to be the democratic nominee, what does it matter if she stays in or not? If Obama can beat McCain, then he should be able to beat McCain whether its now or in November. I suspect most Clinton supporters have already made up their minds whether to support Obama or not just as Obama supporters made up their minds how they would vote had Clinton been the nominee. Let her stay in. Obama is either strong or he's not strong enough to beat McCain and Clinton's remaining in the race has nothing to do with it.

    Comment: My feeling is that Senator Clinton is helping to save the democratic party by staying in the race, regardless of who is the nominee. First, we need all of our citizens to be part of the democratic process; hence, let's continue the primary voing in ALL of the remaining states. Secondlly, we will need all of Clinton's supporters onboard to defeat McCain in November, so her support of Obama should be the nominee, depends on her good will and avowal to support "whoever the Democratic nominee is" is critical -- why not respect that need and give her and her supporters a chance to finish out the race with dignity and grace, ESPECIALLY if Senator Obama is the nominee? Rabid Obama supporters and the biased media don't understand that making fun and denigrating Clinton's many years of public service to our country will not help their candidate, OR the democratic party come November, and that cooler heads should prevail if we want to defeat the Republicans in November.

    Remember, Clinton could be Secretary of State, majority leader in the Senate, and/or in valuable member of Obama's Cabinet, and he will need all the help he can get due to his comparative lack of experience, so take your cue from Obama himself, and give her the respect she deserves in this historic campaign, and for the good of the Democratic Party, which must be united in their attack against McCain in the fall.

    • Posted By: deep_eye @ 05/09/2008 15:32:34

      Comment: How is she saving the Democratic party? She has been mathematically eliminated from winning. If she were a true patriot and committed to the principles and health of the party, she would have announced her departure by now.

      She claims that she will go all the way to the convention in August. Know what? I believe her. But how will her tantrums and usual nonsense in the convention hall serve the needs of the larger body of democratic voters?

      Her argument is so sad, it has become funny. She basically wants to arm-twist the delegates into giving her the nomination based on.......what? It's like saying - "Coach, I want you to send me to the Olympics, I know I've lost most of the races I've been in and I know I keep dropping the baton but I am better than the other runner who is winning and does not drop the baton and I am still going to bring home the gold..." huhhhhh?

        Comment: Hillary has had a point to stay in because OBAMA can't clench the deal on delegates either. She has won the deciding DEM states like OH, PA, CA ,NY, these are KEY DEm states to win. The only way the DEMS can win over McCain is to have the Dream Team option of Hillary and Barak.

    Comment: Obama has out-spent Clinton more than 3 to 1, has the overwhelming support of the MSM, has successfully suppressed the right to vote in two of the largest states in the Union, and has around 90% support from African Americans. To date, the result in the polls of these overwhelming advantages ... he leads Hillary in the Gallup Daily Track Poll 47% to 46% among democrats.

    • Posted By: deep_eye @ 05/09/2008 14:26:57

      Comment: It's the breakdown in basic, native intelligence, usually measured in IQ score or some other thematic test. Education alone does not mean that you are intelligent, however higher levels of educational achievement are positively correlated with higher intelligence as well. That is, "mentally slower" people tend not to go as far educationally as "mentally faster" people.

      The problem with your argument re the 46% v 47% comparison, is that there are almost infinitely more slower people in the population than those with advanced degrees, higher IQs, etc - ever see the "bell shaped" IQ curve? That big hump in the middle represents the vast majority of the population - all clustered around an average IQ of 100. As you go higher in IQs, those absolute numbers drop off very quickly at the tail - and, intelligence is becoming "rarer" there.

      Clinton is still in this race to any extent at all, because she deliberately panders to the slower, less educated, lower IQ groups (I DID NOT SAY ALL CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE SLOW - SO DON"T START). Dissect her ads and messages - they are focused on emotional issues, NOT intellectual ones. These people are very easily persuaded by such tactics and they eagerly embrace her messages. The sleeping girl in the "3am" video was proof of this, as was the bin Laden ad two days before the PA primary.

      If you have10 people in a room who must vote on an issue and if 8 of those people can be strongly influenced through emotional arguments and not intellectual ones and these 8 also happen to be a little slower - the end result is, the group must support the slower members decision. The fact that his lead is not more pronounced than it is, is a consequence of their respective advertising strategies, and the intended audiences, NOT that Hillary has a much better approach or is perforce, the better candidate.

      • Posted By: Smithback @ 05/09/2008 16:04:03

        Comment: I agree to everything you say in this post, all accept the 3rd paragraph. To suggest that fear is a tactic used to persuade the uneducated, the "slower'" voters seems a bit absurd. People, whether educated or not, fast or slow, have emotions and often times fear overpowers others. On 9/11/2001, fear came out of all americans, especially the educated ones, the rich ones, the ones that had most to lose. People were afraid to leave their house. People were afraid to let their children go outside and play.

        The Clinton's campaign ads in no way show she's aiming at the people who do know any better. She was merely suggesting that she would better to handle a crisis at 3 a.m. Sometimes it is hard for Clinton's non-supporters to read her ads for it's mere simplicity, but rather they choose to come up with negative ways to demoralize her. Obviously, people have different opinions on what the ads suggest but you might be over analyzing and perhaps making statements that are not evidently true.

        • Posted By: deep_eye @ 05/10/2008 10:40:37

          Comment: Not over-analyzing at all - just applying fundamental logic. Her implicit premise in these ads and messages is that there is "something out there" that voters need to be deathly afraid of. The conclusion that you must then draw? Hillary is the ONLY ONE who can deflect these dangers away from America. How? Based on what evidence that she has demonstrated in this campaign? Her crying fits? Her consistent dishonesty and apparent severe character flaws? Her lack of integrity and constant flip-flopping? I sincerely doubt that bin Laden, Kim Il Sung, the Iran or Chinese hierarchies or Putin would be terrified by anyone who exhibited these dimensions. Was the "nuke Iran" comment meant to butress her argument? If so, it only further eroded in my mind, her capacity to truly lead.

          See, unfortunately the "slower people" that I refered to, DO make the preponderance of their life decisions from an emotional, NOT intellectual perspective. This is not merely my opinion but has decades of psychological research to support it. Faster people say - "Wait a minute, there are dangers out there, but you are no better to protect us (I would argue less equipped), than anyone else. It is no coincidence that her core supporters are the over 65, poorly educated white voters, while Obama's are the younger, more skeptical, more highly educated voters, these facts, if no other validate my theory.

    Comment: Obama gets another Super Delegate !!


    Hillary will get her cherished Michigan-Florida Delegates and Obama will get Delegates too.

    Obama will get Most of those States "Super Delegates" because of Hillary Clinton's DIVISIVE BEHAVIOR !!


    Barack Obama wins Rick Larsen's backing

    Illinois senator has 5 of state's superdelegates; Clinton has 6

    By Jerry Cornfield
    Herald Writer

    U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen moved out of the column of uncommitted Democratic superdelegates Thursday and into the growing line of supporters of Sen. Barack Obama for president.

    Larsen ended weeks of neutrality, saying Tuesday's primaries made "very clear" that the Illinois senator has the skill and resolve to win his fierce battle with Sen. Hillary Clinton for the party's nomination.

    "This week, Sen. Obama has proven that he is tough and resilient," Larsen said. "He has shown that he can take a pounding, come back and continue to communicate with the public to deliver his message of hope and change."

    Obama now enjoys backing from five of the state's 17 superdelegates, one less than Clinton. Six remained uncommitted Thursday, including Rep. Jim McDermott of Seattle.

    Each pick up is pivotal. Though Obama leads in the total delegate count, it is unlikely he can gain enough in the last portion of the grueling campaign to win. That means unless Clinton withdraws, the party's 795 superdelegates -- of which one-third are uncommitted -- will determine the nominee.

    You Race Mongers, just say, You don't want a Bi-Racial Man , as President of the USA...Thats more Truthful, than all this "He has No Experience Bull-Spit"

    Because the only Man to ever have both (National & International Experience) before becoming president of the USA was george H. Bush Sr....All the Rest were (IN-EXPERIENCED ON DAY ONE)

    And You Voted Both of those Knuckle heads in (TWICE) Bill Clinton & George Bush Jr...FACT !!

    Comment: Obama has gotten More Super Delegates today, as a result of the "Whites want Me" statements by Hillary Clinton, yesterday, and he'll soon get MORE this Weekend...Give It Up ...Hillary.

    Hillary is not trying to appeal to the Super Delegates...She's trying to position herself and make an argument, that she should be VP and she's trying to twist Obama's Arm. to get it, via what she has concluded to be her Demographic stronghold. She also wants to Continue running, to get her Grubby bhands on that (30 Million $ Reserve Fund) that she would have to give back, if she were to Drop out before a specific time...she's a Money Hungry Harlot, thats the Clinton (MO) M-O-N-E-Y !!


    Noone wants a Lying Clinton, back in the White House !!

    WASHINGTON - The movement of Democratic superdelegates to presidential hopeful Barack Obama gained steam Friday with endorsements from a union president and two congressmen, including one who switched his backing from rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.

    Obama has now climbed within a handful of superdelegates of catching Clinton in endorsements from the party and elected officials who will ultimately decide the nomination. With the three new superdelegate endorsements, the superdelegate count is Clinton, 271.5 and Obama, 266

    Obama also picked up the endorsement of the influential American Federation of Government Employees union on Friday.

    "Our people, I think, recognize the enthusiasm and vitality behind Senator Obama's campaign," AFGE President John Gage said.

    Gage, a previously uncommitted superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention, said he is also personally endorsing Obama.

    In New Jersey, Donald Payne ??? a black congressman who had been backing Clinton for the nomination ??? is switching his support to Obama, Dan Pfeiffer, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, confirmed.

    Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon also plans to formally endorse Obama and campaign with him at events Friday in Eugene and Albany, Ore.

    "Senator Obama has proven he is able to energize young Americans, independents, and even moderate Republicans to support his candidacy," DeFazio said in a statement released by his office. "I believe he represents our best hope of winning in November, and puts the needs and priorities of hard working Americans ahead of the powerful special interests that have been extraordinarily favored by the Bush-Cheney administration."

    Oregon holds its primary on May 20. While polling in the state has been sparse, Obama is believed to hold a significant advantage over Clinton. With DeFazio, he will have the endorsement of three of the state's four Democratic House members. Reps. Earl Blumenauer and David Wu earlier endorsed Obama, while Gov. Ted Kulongoski and Rep. Darlene Hooley have endorsed Clinton.

    Clinton won the New Jersey primary on Feb. 5 and has strong backing from the state's congressional delegation.

    Comment: By the way Omaar, you don't have to add the insult "***" to get your point across. It just makes you look weak.

    Comment: To Omaar: I get what you are saying. But Obama is not going to give you what you are looking for. He doesn't have a track record. And, I'm sure a slew of comments will come in about Hillary's failure to do this or to that. The difference is she tried.. .she's committed. Failure does not mean lack of success. Failing is a part of success.

    Comment: The comments that suggest that Clinton is being supported by dumb people is just an elite comment. You don't need a college education to be smart. Young people. What do they know?

    Response: Young people don't want ...61 -62 yr old ? Hillary Clinton, Nor do they want ...John 72 yr old McCain's A!!

    Young People don't want to DIE in Iraq or Afghanistan Under False Pretenses.

    Young People want American Jobs that are not being outsourced to Communist China, Socialist India, Canada & Mexico.

    Young people want a Gold Standard, Valued Dollar, Opposed to a Devalued Dollar, now lower than the Mexican Peso !!


    Young people want to Graduate from College and have a Job waiting for them, Oppose to the Unemployment line or Working Overseas and wanting to get paid in Euro, because the Dollar bill is WORTHLESS !!

    Young people ...THINK A$$ Hole !!!
