Let the Second-Guessing Begin!

Now that that nomination is clenched its time to rally around Obama.
Hopefully he puts Hillary in charge of healthcare - Im sure he will and the democrates and
middle leaning Repubs can get more seats in congress. THEN WE CAN GET THINGS DONE!

Dont let Hillary's epic campaign go to waste
DEMOCRATS '08

Obama supporters have the nomination. Both are subjective opinions, but Hillary supporters view Obama as the weaker candidate, and they feel like the DNC elite pushed him through to the nomination. When will Obama supporters start embracing Hillary supporters, and stop insulting them? Many Hillary supporters are more moderate and could go either way. If you want Obama to win in November, its time to fulfill Obama's mantra and unite rather than divide. It is the responsibility of Obama and his supporters to court Hillary supporters.

To you ladies that are so mad, you are ready to vote for McCain. Just remember that if you do vote for McCain, you can watch Roe v Wade get overturned. The point is, if you take one woman's right, you can begin to loose more rights. You ladies really need to wake up and remember that both women and blacks fought for the right to vote and the right to be accepted as Americans. At least Hillary Clinton is going to endorse Obama this Saturday. She also said that she do not agree with the women who want to vote for McCain. She will have something to say about it this Saturday. What she has to say will not make these women organization very happy.

Comment: ckwan why do you bother to post but not back your claims up with anything whatsoever. While it doesn't mean a whole lot polls are favoring Obama right now. I came here from Digg prepared to criticize yet another pundit's failure to properly gauge the situation but I'd say he's nailed it. The Bush administration is a pariah right now and Hillary's own despicable similarities to GW (arrogance, refusal to acknowledge mistakes, divisive politics, etc...) are what ultimately cost her the nomination. McCain is already making all the same mistakes by reacting to Obama rather than attempting to make a case for himself. The guy has had a free ride for like six months now and he still hasn't garnered a lead over either democrat in the polls? That's pathetic. What makes you think the GOP is going to clinch 49 states with Obama's aisle-crossing/moderate draw and the libertarians nipping at McCain's heels?"

Take a look at Obama's performance in the Democratic primaries. He was able to win the majority of the white votes in only a handful of small states. He is not going to do well in the general election for the following reasons:

1. Whether you like it or not, the reality is that people in this country are still voting along the racial lines and you can tell that from the Democratic primary results.

2. Obama narrowly edged out Clinton in the Democratic primaries because he had strong support from the blacks (90%), the liberal white democrats and some other minority groups and also because of the proportional allocation of delegates to the competing candidates.

3. In the GE, Obama is going to lose his advantage because the % of white votes will overwhelm the % of black votes, the liberal democratic white votes and the other minority votes.

4. Obama will lose 49 states in the GE because there are no caucuses in the the GE and there are no mathematical allocation of delegates like the one in the Democratic system. There is an award of electoral votes state by state on a winner-take-all basis. In each state (except Illinois), Obama is going to lose to John McCain because of the overwhelming white support for McCain.

I feel the love,LOL Obama Hussein will NEVER be elected due to his associations. i.e Rev Wright,Tony Revco(convicted this morning btw)Bill Ayers...need I go on?I am a life long democrat,and Ive only voted twice for republicans:Reagan twice.This will be my third time.

Unfortunately, like too many things in society this election is all about "me" and "what I want" instead of what is best for the country. Dems voting for McCain just to prove a childish point is sad and disappointing. This goes against all the great reasons for being a democrat in the first place.

the reasons Hillary lost that you elucidate were also reasons that her experience certainly didn't equal the supremely necessary quality of good judgment which is the most vital aspect need in a President.
This is why she was the wrong person to be the nominee. Thank goodness enough Democrats felt the same way. ANd thank you for saying one of his most overlooked accomplishments was his ability to put together the right people to create such a brilliant campaign organization - something that does bode well for him as a Presidential candidate, and would serve him well as a President.

"Comment: The devil who can really hang US would be a President who can sell voters a sugar-coated rope. Obama has shown that he can take punches without losing his cool. What is underneath this thick layer of sugar? Can we take the risk to elect a quasi-terminator who may be programmed to be cool and licensed to kill? Bottom line: Obama has the responsibility to show that there is not a latent Wright virus tangled in his genome." EVAX

You already have a President with a latent virus in his genes, programmed to kill - George Bush, Jr. , son of the former CIA director. What did you do to get rid of him, if this is your concern about Presidents?
But at least you are honest Evax and prove the point that there are still ignorant, scared folks...that only see Obama's skin color.

You Obamabots are so proud. The allocation of delegates favors urban over rural districts, and caucuses are meant to favor party insiders and thus are easily dominated by fanatics. Neither will be available in the GE. You've sowed hate and contempt across the left side of the electorate, and you will reap that in Nov.

I don't see any problem with the way things turned out. If Obama selects Hillary for his VP position, They both get what they want. Obama will become president and Hillary will be president before Christmas !

Oh my gosh. Stop the hating!

I am a proud Obama supporter and I DO NOT like Hillary. That being said, there are many that are proud Hillary supporters and DO NOT like Obama. We all know this. I would have voted for Hillary had she won the nomination, no matter how much I personally don't like her as a person (or at least the public persona). A lot of the hate in this campaign has come from both sides on the comment boards. Depending on who you support, you're going to view this campaign differently and neither side will agree to the other. That being said, Obama has clinched the nomination and we NEED to keep John McCain out of the White House. Both sides NEED each other and we have to put our personal feelings aside and do what's best for the COUNTRY. It's the Supreme Court! If nothing else, think of your future or current daughters and granddaughters, and how their rights will be effected if McCain is in the big house.

UNITY 08.

The only thing historic about this election is it was given away by first the Rules Committee and then the superdelegates. I'm going to sit back and watch them collect on all the favors owed.

REPOST PEOPLE........To put it bluntly as I heard a commentator say recently, to all those woman who are trying to paint Obama as sexist ........DIRECT YOUR ANGER FIRST AT ONE BILL CLINTON, BECAUSE HE DISRESPECTED HER FIRST: PAULA JONES, MONICA LEWINSKY, JENNIFER FLOWERS, JUST TO NAME A FEW.....

The only reason she lost is because the disloyal delegates would were "fair-weather" Clinton supporters turned out to be nothing more than people wanting to attach themselves to whoever they thought was popular. More importantly, THEY ALL are playing the race card because they are AFRAID to not nominate a black man. For most white people, even those pretending to be past it.... the black bogeyman still is their BIGGEST fear. They are afraid blacks will riot in the streets. Who cares, I'm black and I'm not tearing up my town. Sure the kids are more progressive and forward thinking... but it's all fun and games. Let's see if they turn out in November. I think we just handed the White House back to the Republicans. Of course the DNC, the media, & the African-Americans who were once so enamored of the Clintons will ALL blame Hillary. Ditto the STUPID, backwards men who still think a woman should be barefoot & pregnant & quiet.

Nice rationalization from a media jerk. Admit it, you're childish and petulant. The media helped fix this campaign as much as Brazille and the DNC. Payback is coming.
