Hillary Comes in Second in Wyoming
March 08, 2008 8:41 PM
Hillary Clinton's campaign is casting her not-entirely-disastrous showing in the Wyoming caucuses as a victory.
Clinton's campaign manager Maggie Williams said, "We are thrilled with this near split in delegates and are grateful to the people of Wyoming for their support. Although the Obama campaign predicted victory in Wyoming weeks ago, we worked hard to present Senator Clinton’s vision to the caucus-goers and we thank them for turning out today."
Waitasec...
I thought victories in red states, small-population states and caucus states were irrelevant...?
I guess losses there somehow rock the house?

All of this talk from the Clintons about offering Obama the VP spot even though he is still No.1 in delegates and the popular vote tells me that the
Fix is already in for Hillary!
The Democrat Party leadership will
Steal the Nomination from Obama by having the Super Delegates put Clinton
over the top or seat the illegal delegates from Florida and Michigan or some weird combination of both!
After totally trashing Barack Obama for weeks, the Clintons believe they can retain the African American vote by picking Obama to be their VP!
No Rezko problem as long as Obama is
the VP candidate?
No "empty screen" as long as Obama is the VP candidate?
No "fairy tale" as long as Obama is the
VP candidate?
Do the Clintons really think the American People are That Stupid?
Go back to Arkansas or New York or wherever it is you live now Hillary and take Bill with You!

Where do you find such a Logic ?
Senator Clinton and Bill are floating the idea of Senator Obama being considered as an EXCELLENT VP candidate.
As Senator Kerry indicated, the item to consider when you pick a VP running mate is, in an event of an incident or an accident can he step in as a President?
Senator Clinton is negating herself. If Senator Obama can not be a Preident then he can not be a VP unless she is 100% confident nothing will incapacitate her.
This is either challenging the Super Natural or STATEING THAT SENATOR OBAMA IS QUALIFIED TO BE A COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
The logic is to accept the later.
No matter why they are injecting this notion into the campaign, it is nothing more than saying anything to be nominated and elected.

Obama took more delegates AND more raw votes from Texas (after both phases of the voting are considered), yet the press and the Clinton campaign continue to report Texas as a "win" for Hillary. Should we be surprised, then, that a minor loss for Hillary in Wyoming counts as a "win" as well? We've passed the "silly season" and headed into the "delusional days" of their campaign. There is absolutely no way for them to make up Obama's delegate lead, so it's going to be spin, spin, spin from here on out.

Absent advocating the IRS as an important component of healthcare; Hillary is nothing more than McCain in a pantsuit.

Hillary has los touch with the world. The only thing she think about is winning and want release her tax returns obvious she has somethin to hide. I would release my tax returns to the American people, so they will know how honest she is with her taxesl

"I've been very blessed. Keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention. The cover of Newsweek. My book made the best-seller list. I just won a Grammy for reading it on tape.
Really, what else is there to do?
Well, I guess I could pass a law or something."
--Barack Obama, March 2006

A vote for Obama is a vote for McCain.

Obama is king of Caucuses, no doubt. But in the general election where the cameras are not shone on people, the people generally vote with their head (and nobody can accuse them of being racists).
That explains why Barrack Obama is doing well in Republican states (Red States). He is doing well because Republicans in general do not like Hillary; they don't like Democrats in general, and they will flock around McCain in the general election. Why? Because Obama has no achievements in Illinois or Washington that he can tout. Being a community organizer does not sell in National politics.
Republicans have been voting for Obama in the Red State to stop the person they fear the most - Hillary.
Democrats should not be fooled. Blacks in general should not let pride cloud their judgment either.
Let's keep our eyes on the price.

Clinton gets the benefit of name recognition - can trumpet that she has the experience of being married to a President which Obama does not. This is true.
What's galling is that she then complains the media who obviously knows alot about her and her husband is 'meaner' to her. We don't hear Obama griping that it's unfair she has an ex-president as a husband. The Hillary camp will distort and manipulate everything to show it as positive for her.

Do not worry all you Hillary supporters let's wait in see how pissed off Hillary can angry all the Obama''s supporters. I am not just talking about Obama ether; just the people who support him in this election. She underestimated him before the election and now she is underestimating his strong support. Remember this is a movement will see what happens after she steals the election. This is going to go down as a classic battle in the history books. Your grandchildren will be talking about the 08 election; what happened?. Do not worry; Obama does not have to say a word the people who support him will.
This is Hillary’s scorched earth policy, slash and burn. If she can’t win then her policy is to destroy everything and everyone including the Democratic Party. She is willing to loose her legacy and her dignity all in the name of power. I feel really bad for her if she does this she will regret it later in life.
I see a great opportunity here for the republicans in this election. If Hillary steals this election; by her any means necessary policy. The republicans should try to reach to all the African Americans and Obama supporters to support John McCain... Obama should not under any circumstances accept or align himself; in any way with the Clinton Campaign. He should go back to the Senate and get ready 2012. All of us who support Obama should either vote for John McCain or sit this election out in protest of Hillary Clinton???s campaign

I find Senator Clinton's rhetoric to be somewhat confusing. During her campagin in 2000 for Senator in New York she demanded that her opponent (Rick Lazio) release his tax returns making them public. She persued this issue quite aggressively to the point her campaign had someone dress up in a costume like Uncle Sam and heckle Mr. Lazio in public over the issue. Now where do you suppose I came up with a story like that? None other than the New York Times. The same newspaper that endorsed Hillary. Think I'm joking? Check it out for yourself. The title of the article reads as follows:
Political Memo;Stunt Keeps a Focus on Lazio's Tax Returns"
By Clifford J. Levy
Published August 18,2000
I propose that Senator Obama do the same thing. Oopps, I forgot. That's "Plagerism".

LA in Indiana: You are starting to lose me with these illogical questions.I will have to admit that Bill Clinton did not get Osama Bin Laden, but then again Mr. Bush has had 7 yrs to get him dead or alive and the last time I checked he was still alive and on the lose. I know of noconnection between Mr.Ayers and his wife with Osama other than there hatered of america. It is Move On dot Org. who has endorsed Mr. Obama that says that General Petraus has betrayed us. Yet he does not reject their endorsement. I am against the war but I know one thing and that is that the military did not betray this country. They have done everything that we have asked of them. It was the politicians that let them down. I have always been proud of America not just when Obama decided to run!
Posted by: russell | Mar 9, 2008 6:22:39 PM
oh, and by the way russell....Obama has done exactly what with Ayers? Other than know him, what have they done together??
Posted by: LA in Indiana | Mar 9, 2008 5:24:04 PM
your operative words there russell...."a 60s radical group"
you can hold onto something from 40 yrs back, but you ignore all the crap the clintons have done within the last 20 yrs?
the clintons let terrorists go...and you want to make THAT comparison???

I already answered that question, I have never voted for a republican. But I can't guarantee that this go around.
All military members are not republican.
No matter what I say about Barack Obama, you hillary sheeple will find something to tear him down, just as she has done. In all my years, I have never seen a democrat throw another democrat under the bus and embrace the candidate in the other party.
Barack Obama did not throw Kerry/Edwards under the bus when it came to his speech in 2004, and his support for them, despite their war vote.
So ya see....hillary isn't concerned about the party, just herself, evident in her actions, and her words.
Posted by: LA in Indiana | Mar 9, 2008 4:59:45 PM
so russell...you actually BELIEVE all her lies and distortions?
you agree with her hypocrisy? especially when it comes to taxes...her campaign asked for Lazio's taxes everyday....was she imitating Ken Starr then??
Just like she campaigns, she will be the same if she were in office. Just like she did healthcare, held closed door meetings that affects the public, so she'll be in office. Most people don't want that anymore....its old, and tired.
Will she be made to answer Peter Paul?

Catiger: This is the sexist box which many people try to put women in. If they are too tough then they are mean if they show any emotion then they are weak! If men show toughness then they are strong not mean. If they show emotion they are not weak they are compassoniate. This is the problem that a woman has when running for the toughest job in the world. All in all I think Hillary has preformed pretty well. That's what makes me proud of her and what she has accompolished!
Posted by: russell | Mar 9, 2008 4:33:53 PM
don't distort MY view....I will NOT vote for hillary clinton, period.
She could do kartwheels and backflips, I could care less. She is polarizing, manipulating, and a disgusting liar.
Her slash and burn politics don't make her tough,
