Political Punch

Poor Hillary. How did things go in Bosnia...tell me that story again, it's my favorite.

He's sending a message to the superdelegates, folks. Time to wrap it up, folks! It's not about votes anymore...it's about getting her to leave.

Regarding: TO ANYONE WHO IS INTERSTED IN FACTS,Bill Richardson is going with his state. In the state of New Mexico Hillary only got 49% of the vote Obama got 48% of the vote the 1% of the vote went to Bill Richardson and 2% of the vote went to Edwards. That means that 51% of the people did not vote for Hillary. So he is as a super delegate is actually reflecting the vote of his state. The 51% that did not want to vote for Hillary.

NEWS FLASH:::::: According to your absurd Math, 52% of New Mexico voted AGAINST OBAMA. Get real. Hillary won the popular vote and the Caucus vote against Obama on a one on one in New Mexico. This is the inherent problem with the Obama fanatics, not only are they in serious denial, but they can't even calculate basic arithmetic. And, we are supposed to believe their simple Math calculations are the way to go. Sorry, no way.

The 2008 election campaign has seen the unmasking of the Clintons to be less than the great allies of civil rights. Disappointingly, critics argue that their opportunistic nature has been exposed for the world to see.

Additionally, the conduct of Hillary and her husband has created an awakening amongst blacks who held the powerful political family in esteemed reverence. Black leaders have begun to murmur that the Clintons are wolves in sheep clothing and question the sincerity of their previous commitment to help accomplish the goals of the historic Selma, Alabama marches. They posit that the enemy, who [in disguise] marches along with them and echoes their cry for the opportunity to have full participation at America’s table, is a much more formidable foe than the one who openly expresses his hatred. At least the latter [they say] is recognizable and can be better managed.

But are the Clintons closeted Bigots as many observers now imply- or are they simply self centered power hungry politicians who believe that they are entitled to rule damn the cost? Whatever the answer, [according to many Democrats] some of Bill & Hillary’s tactical conduct in this primary has crossed the line.

TO ANYONE WHO IS INTERSTED IN FACTS,

Bill Richardson would actually have to vote against 51% of the people of New Mexico in order to give his superdelagate vote to Hillary. That is simple math. HILLARY RECEIVED only 49% of the vote. So, to say Bill Richardson went against his state, is truly misrepesenting the facts. Other than further division, I'm not sure what this report is suppose to accomplish.

To anyone interested

I've long suspected that the Obama campaign says superdelegates should vote according to their state or constituency, only as long as this would give the Obama campaign an advantage.

On factchecker it is very clear that superdelegates are allowed to vote for anyone they wish too. This can be noted by Bill Richardson endorsing Obama but remember New Mexico went to Clinton. Or in my area, congresswoman Anna Eshoo endorsing Obama, while California voted for Clinton.

I really dislike Obama's double standards. It's very hypocritical.

People, please do your research!
Tony Rezko also contributed to George W's campaign!

Also, please watch the full video of Jeremiah Wright's sermon. Things are not what they seem.
I'm tired of the media giving us bits and pieces of what they think we should hear.

This is not only dividing the Democratic Party, but our country as a whole.

Americans know that Gov. Richardson like the Senator from Illinois say one thing one day and then say something different the next day. I hope that the Senator from Illinois has better judgment at 3 AM in the morning than selecting individuals like Tony Rezko, Pastor Wright, State Senator Meeks, Gov. Richardson, and General McPeak, retired. In my view, the Senator from Illinois has judgment problems and America cannot afford such a president at 3AM in the morning.

If superdelegates should reflect the will of the voters, then does that suggest that superdelegates should be allocated according to percentage of the vote? Or all or nothing like the GOP? I've run the numbers and if you choose choice #1, Obama wins. On the otherhand, if it is all or nothing like the GOP have, in that scenario then Obama wins again. Darn it! Well, maybe if they follow the overall will of the voters. Darn, Obama again.

Richardson, sadly, can't get Democrats elected in NM. Couldn't beat repubs Dominici and Wilson last time.

Latinos consider their votes their own, and too valuable to cast uninformed, just as I do.

Blacks may be enamored with a half-black candidate. But Latinos will not be swayed by a half-Latino telling them how to vote.

They historically trust the Clinton's, and can tell you exactly why, regarding their personal feelings. They also do not bloc vote. They make a considered choice.

I am an anglo, but the majority of my living relatives are Latino and Native American.

Richardson turned traitor because he had to.

Richardson's presidential campaign has debts of nearly $391,000.

Obama's Iraqi Billionaire friend who has been giving Obama Millions (I wonder why???) is paying off Richardson's debts.

You people are amazing. It turns my stomach to read that these types of opinions actually exist. Hillary won in NM because she cheated with the polls and ballots there, ask anyone who lives there or who reveals the truth. They are sick people, the Clintons, who will clearly stop at nothing to win, and God help us if she becomes president. No morals.

Jed,

OBAMA is toast - Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko.

Stay tuned!

I too have noticed that keith Oberman show is now working overtime for Obama because people stopped watching the show once he exposed who he really is - a left winger or the O'Reilly of the right.

I think he has lost his audience (me included) so the people at MSNBC feel he needs 24 hours daily to have people watch the show. Too late.

Hillary is toast.

Richardson: "I believe the campaign has gotten too negative. I want it to be positive. I think that’s what’s been very good about Senator Obama’s campaign — it’s a positive campaign about hope and opportunity."

Um, did the Obama camp conveniently forget the memo that they have gone negative on Clinton? Yikes! So, now he can be viewed as disloyal AND oblivious.

i agree that Obama has offered Pelosi something. After the Feb 5 super tuesday, Pelosi's original reaction to the super delegates was to 'use their own judgment' .

Now all of a sudden she INSISTS they be with whomever has more delegates no matter what other circumstances there are.

Its just sad is what it really is.

Doesnt matter. The church scandal has made Obama unelectable

He has lost the Clinton democrats.

Him saying she is unelectable today is probably not going to get him too many clinton votes anyways.

I saw you used my screen name to post some anti-Hillary comments in another thread. This kind of silly stuff not appreciated.

This whole foreign policy experience claimed by Hillary has no substance, since with all her experience she anyway voted wrong on Iraq war. She was as dumb as Bush. Her Iran vote supporting Bush is another blunder, as Biden rightly told her on her face during the debates. She is still stubborn, just like Bush. Expecting she will produce different result this time is indeed "Rolling the Dice." If the answer for leading the country is someone that has a lot of foreign policy experience, we can just go down to the State Department and pick up any one of the tens of thousands of people who spent all their life in foreign policy. If traveling 80 countries is all that she can show off, my travel agent have traveled 170 countries. Vote for my travel agent.

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter and have voted Democratic ever since my college days. I am now almost 60 years old. Apparently Bill Richardson forgot what he said before the Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island, and Vermont primaries. How he can endorse Obama after the Reverent Wright fiasco and after contradicting himself on national television is beyond comprehension. But then I look at Kennedy, Kerry, and Patrick. They didn't deliver Massachusetts for Obama. So in the end, Richardson's endorsement is for a sinking ship - whether it sinks now in the Democratic primaries or later in the national election. Obama is unelectable. Despite media bias for Obama, the American people will not vote for President someone who sat in a church for 20 years listening to venomous rhetoric from his pastor, whose record in the state legislature and later in the U. S. Senate was hardly that of some "mover and shaker" but more that of a very cautious person who was more concerned about offending possible political supporters down the road. With the mess that the country is in now, we need a fighter - someone who has proven she is tough and experienced. That person is Hillary Clinton!
