Out and Down

I'm sorry, Rhonda and Lori, but I can't agree with what you're saying. I was made CRAZY by the things Hillary did during the primaries, but I feel that as of Wednesday, when she supported Obama at a meeting of a Jewish organization in NYC, and even more so today when she officialy gave her speech asking her supporters to vote for Obama, she has redeemed herself.

Yes, she suspended her campaign rather than resigned completely. But so did Edwards. I think that your saying she suspended because she has a 'hit" out on Obama is not only going too far, it actually doesn't make sense. Think about it. If Obama was assassinated Hillary would become the Democratic nominee whether she had resigned completely or just suspended, so trying to read some deeper meaning into it doesn't really work. I do think that she suspended because psychologically that was easier for her to take. And honestly, if you read this article and saw how other former contenders described their state of mind after losing, I think we need to give Hillary a break here. She is doing the right thing. She will continue to do the right thing. And if you want Obama to win, then you will tone down your anti-Hillary blogs, because Obama needs her voters, and it is stupid for you to go around alienating them. It's over. Your guy won. Let it go.

Sincerely, Nins

Well, I must say, the debate has been much more civil tonight than it has been on previous evenings. Unfortunately, it is late and I have to sign off. Good night everyone!

What is wrong with you people? I have never read such anti-American remarks in my life. If you really were a true Democrat and cared about this country, you would NOT vote for John McCain. Racism is alive and well in this country. Senator Obama ran an brillant campaign. Senator Clinton did not. She lost fair and sqaure. I am a women. I am so sick of hearing that she was treated unfair. You want unfair? Read up on slavery in America!

Based on the accounts I have read, I am very proud of the New England Congressmen Barney Frank and Charlie Rangel. When other weak legislative leaders thought it more important to console Senator Clinton after her non-concession speech, the "tell-it-like-it-is" congressmen sounded the alarm and made clear to the Clinton camp that this is not the time to be feeling sorry and resting on her laurels. There is no two week period for Senator Clinton to "figure out what she will do next". There is a democratic presidential bid at stake and every day their party is not attacking the republican nominee, is another day he gets stronger. If Hillary wanted some reflection time she should have ended her race after Obama captured 11-straight contest. The delegate count numbers were in, and every one knew they would split the remaining states. We all knew it was over back then. Hillary could have used March or April for rest. But countdown time to November GE is short and fast approaching. So what were those legislators thinking telling Hillary to go off and ponder the matter for a couple weeks? Are they out of their minds?!!

When oil rates are breaking records daily and now at $138 a barrel; when job unemployment growth continues spiraling at dizzying heights; when home foreclosures are at a record high since WWII; when the price of food is simply unaffordable and people resort to stealing, killing or dumpster diving for their meals; when the Republicans pat themselves on the back with pride because there were "only 19 US soldiers killed" in last month's non-ending Iraq war; when the Republican presidential nominee run on the same failed policies of the current administration; when frustration continues to mount over lost American jobs, a stretched & tired military, broken drug & health care system, broken immigration system, and an increasingly lethargic and apathetic mega-corporate class; THIS IS NOT THE TIME for Hillary Clinton to 'freeze the Democratic nomination' process while she take two weeks off. The Democratic party is on a world saving mission and every day lost waiting to see what Hillary wants is tantamount to giving the current administration a third term in office for continuous divisive, indifferent, and reckless demolition of the United States of America. The Democratic Party needs to unite and fight now! There are no more free days until after November???s General Election.

How do you explain that someone with a virtual 100% name ID could lose an election? It's very easy,that same name ID exposes the viseral hatred most of this country has towards the Clintons. If she can't win in her own party,how could she win the whole country? She got 18 million primary votes in what has been a big energized Dem turnout. Where does she get another 35-40 million votes to win the general. On the other hand Obama has many,many demographic issues. If Hispanics feel safe with McCain,Obama can mail it in in Western swing states. High gas prices are bringing into focus how liberal policies have cut down on domestic production of energy. Bill Clinton closed off millions of acres of Federal land to exploration after big cmapaign donations from fat cat Indonesians who want to keep natural gass revenues flowing to thier pockets. Clinton vetoes ANWAR drilling which could have been another million barrels a day on the market.The world cabal of oil producres are keeping supply low to eep rices high and we can't fight back.The funny thing is liberal policies are killing union jobs in auto makers and airlines.

TO "SHARENEWS":
FOX Cable News??!! You got to be kidding! That is the Dick-Chaney Republican Network. They don't know how to present a straight story without political slant, even if GOD himself requested it. Remember this is the same Cable News network that cheered on Ken Starr for 6-years to hound the Clinton's over some land and financial dealings. After congress spent $52 million and 6-years, FOX was happy to report the only thing to come out of the Ken Starr's investigation is Monica???s stained blue dress. Of course FOX ran the stained blue dress story far longer then any other Cable News group. They cheered on the impeachment attempts and effectively made it near impossible for President Clinton to run the nation's business while preparing his legal defense.

How ironic is it that the same people feeling sorry for 'Sniper Fire, Annie Oakley Hillary Clinton' had no sympathy when she needed it the most as the wife of an utterly humiliated husband & president who embarrassed her on the world stage. What a bunch of hypocrites you are. A VOTE FOR JOHN McSAME IS A VOTE AGAINST EVERYTHING SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGNED FOR. A VOTE FOR McSAME IS A VOTE AGAINST: (1.) Women's rights; (2.) Forced prostitution in America and abroad; (3.) Ending the war in Iraq; (4.) Universal Health Care; (5.) Lock-box Social Security; (6.) The reversal of lost jobs to overseas slave-labor countries; (7.) Tax breaks for the middle class; (8.) Special corporate-welfare (aka research money) for the likes of Exxon-Mobil; (9.) Real progressive environmental changes; (10.) Knowledgeable U.S. economic expertise and not this voodoo economic crap of the past 7-years.

Now please think about that when you switch to John McSame. And ask yourself why FOX don't spend real investigative time on these stories. Or maybe you are the kind that rather spend time on small-minded things FOX deems worthy like who is wearing the flag pins today. Oooooohhh, what an imporant issue! NOT!! Or maybe FOX can cover a 'real important story' like who was seen at a party with Obama 15-years ago? NOT!!

Doris: Ted Kenndedy one of the great lawmakers? I hardly think so. I think you mean he's one of the geat intakers of Makers Mark.

Dear Newsweek: It's over. She lost. Obama won. Move on. Stop abusing her now that she's down. This kind of reporting keeps the resentment against Newsweek and their unabashed support of Obama alive in the hearts of Hillary supporters, which will not bode well for November.

If you really want Obama to win, then start reflecting his personal grace and goodness and stop stomping on the loser

I believe that it was Bill Clinton who said not too long ago when someone complained about the Clinton campaign trying to climb up by pulling Obama down, that politics is a contact sport. That means that you are tough and that you can take it. I will never cease to admire the Clintons for many things too numerous to list, but I would appreciate it if they would stop this noise about the pain of defeat. It's what happens to one or the other when a contest is over. It could just as well have been Obama. But, it wasn't. Get over it.

HRC supporters - it hit me tonight that we can do something constructive to show our displeasure regarding the outcome of the Democratic primaries. Unfortunately, I saw Keith Olbermann say that if Barack loses, it's all Hillary's fault. I was in absolute disbelief. I've sent MSNBC e-mails, etc., but to no avail.

So, here's my idea. Let's set up Operation Payback (Nins - you get credit for the name after thinking I was involved in Operation Chaos). As of today, I've cancelled my subscription to Newsweek and will NEVER watch MSNBC again. My relatives have done the same. If we hit these media outlets who have so mistreated Hillary in the pocketbook, maybe we can at least address some of the anger we're all feeling.

Obama supporters - do us all a favor and stay out of this with putdown comments. I think that this gives HRC supporters something we can do that is constructive and places blame (at least from my perspective) where it is due.

Hillary supporters - what do you think? If we pass this along to our friends, families and post it everywhere, I think we can make a difference.

I'm the demographic. I am a 62 year old, white woman, from Pennsylvania, who supported Hillary Clinton with my heart and my contributions. I am disappointed with the way the Democratic primaries were run. Inept rules and biased reporting. Well, its over. Obama will not put Hillary on his ticket. He can't afford to be overshadowed by her or Bill. I can't vote Rebuplican since they have torn the country apart. Where does that leave me? I hope to learn more about Barack Obama so that I can vote for him with with support and not as the lesser of two evils. (The lesser of two evils is still evil.) Heaven help us. We need a miracle. I hope he is up to the job.

Hillary down and out, my heart bleeds for her, NOT!!! Don't remember this kind of article for Biden, Dodd, Edwards, Richardson or any of the Republican candidates. I forgot, this is "historic". What a bunch of useless dribble. Candidates ran and candidates dropped out. A nominee was chosen. Not historic, just a fact. She ran, she lost. Done. Finished . Don't need to hear her concession speech. Don't need in indepth study of her battle and how she lost. Time for the general election. Move on already.

Say what you want---the last chapter in Obama;s book will be written by us Clinton supporters---the tilte will be something like....HOW DID I LOSE THIS, I THOUGHT I HAD THEM ALL FOOLED.
