There Goes Another Hillary Superdelegate
March 10, 2008 2:29 PM
What the…?
New York Times is reporting: Crime-busting Governor Eliot Spitzer told aides this morning of his involvement in a prostitution ring.
Developing hard, as Mr. Drudge might say….

It is a c=very sad turn of events- there os no valid candidate for the presidency.
Hillary is an epitome of corruprion and hypocracy. Obama Hussein BArak has noexperience- he is running "for the change", same as Hitler and mussolini in their first quest for power!
And I don't like MsCAin either.

To the person who said Hillary should denounce and reject Spitzer. Are you joking? How can she renounce and deject that which resembles her husbands activities? Did he not fool around on her to many times to count? She would look even worse of a hyprocrite than she already does. No, she should just keep her trap shut.

the media can't blast HRC on her 'experience' because she played good strategy and called them bullies. So from here on out, any negative stories about her can be responded with by saying the press is just picking on her and not actually respond, just like she is doing with her taxes currently.

So what’s Hillary’s experience everyone just says her years in Washington and as first Lady. The other day this claim of hers to helping to bring peace to Ireland was disputed as silly by the guy who actual did the work who went on to say she was a cheerleader at best. So why does the press continue to giver her pass on this. Her Kosovo trip had nothing to do with any real diplomatic work and she did not have the security clearance required to be privy to the information that would allow her to negotiate anything this claim is bull and the press needs to stop giving here a pass on it and expose it for what it is typical Clinton lie.

I find it funny how everyone who is voting for HRC has forgotten all of the corruption associated with Clintons. I also think that it is hillarious that she is using her years as a first lady to qualify her experience as President. I have always liked Bill Clinton, and respected Hillary, although I have never cared much for her. And the more I hear her speak the more I realize why I don't like her. She sits so smuggly on television as if she is entitled to the nomination as well as the presidency. Everything that comes out of her mouth is about "me" and what "I" can do, and what "I've done. There's never much about what we will accomplish as a country. I just hope that the people of Missipi and Pennsylvania will smart enough to see through all of the political posturing, do some critical thinking, and a realize that we need to move forward. A vote for Hillary Clinton, is a step back into politics as usual, with her and her husband creating back door deals, to appease the special interest, while handing the American people a bone or two (figuratively speaking), to keep us satisfied, while they are raking in as much money as they can behind fronts such as NAFTA, The Tri-Lateral Commission, The World Trade Organization and WAL-MART. I hope that the Obama's win in these two states is so convincing, that she will be pressured to concede. Which will allow the Democratic Party to focus on beating John McCain. I can not fathom another four years of "Bush Lite".

Sam, please cut that silly Rezko crap. FOX would be all over it if there was some Obama scandal to the found there. Instead this is how they deal with the case on their site in a Q & A section:
Q: Why is Rezko on trial?
A: Prosecutors allege he tried to shake down companies seeking contracts from Illinois regulatory boards for campaign contributions and payoffs. They say he used his influence with Gov. Rod Blagojevich to get people appointed to the boards and then threatened to have them block contracts unless the companies paid millions of dollars in kickbacks.
Q: What does that have to do with Obama?
A: Nothing. No one has alleged that Obama has anything to do with the charges against Rezko, nor has Obama been charged with any wrongdoing. Obama has donated to charity the money that Rezko donated to his campaigns, as well as money from other Rezko friends and partners, a total of $150,000.

This is the more reason, we should start electing women as they are less likely to behave like dogs.
Men in general are disgusting. That's just the way it is.
Posted by: SO | Mar 10, 2008 10:34:04 PM
This is nothing compared to what is likely to come out of the Tony Rezko case.
Tony Rezko created the Obama candidacy. He created and molded him and bankrolled his elections. There is no way in the world that they are that clever to cover their tracks. Simply not possible.
Stay tuned people!

Hillary's major claim is that she has won big democratic states. Whoever the democrat is, I guarantee you they will win those states. You have to show that you are not ONLY able to win with democrats but with independents and republicans also. That's what will be a winning factor. I think democrats are so desperate to see a democrat that any candidate will suffice. Whose goin to be able to get that over the party line support. You can't just look at who can get democrats. Hillary has gotten where she is so far because of her name and her gender. Every chance she gets she says " a real change would be a woman president" Its over-bearing. She doesn't have the ability to win on her positive. It just killed her that Obama was winning when he hadn't been speaking about Clinton at all. He can bring people with positive energy. Hillary wants to play on people's fears and negativity. I don't see that as being a good leader. You can say that Clinton will be a good change but the problem is too many democrats are reaching back to the 90's for support. The 90's are over! Stop looking back. Shouldn't we as Americans want better. Lets not be fooled by her popularity in the democratic establishment. We need to look at her on a serious note. She has spent more time avoiding prison than doing anything for this country. Im sorry but being a first lady doesn't make you qualify. If something would have happened to Bill, Gore would have been president. Not her. So she was not co-president like some people like to say. Shes fooling everyone. She won't release her tax returns but she was urging Rick Lazio to do that when she ran against him for senator. Shes a hypocrite folks.
As Mrs. Clinton has said...
GET REAL!!!

This news has nothing to do with Hillary.
It is about men and their disgusting way they behave. Who can anyone trust a men?.
MaCain, Obama....

Moot, Jake has it right: Hillary loses 1 super delegate. Spitzer's successor (if he quits, and he should) would be David Paterson - a super delegate himself who already endorsed HRC.
BTW, Obama again had to super delegates going his way today, one from North Carolina and one from Mississippi.
I quote Politico's Ben Smith: the direction of that movement is as good an indicator as any of whom insiders are laying bets on.

I would not stand by my man if he committed such acts, and I don't like whe sight of women (Hillary Clinton, Mrs. Spitzer) who do.
I cannot imagine Michelle Obama creeping in the dust for the sake of her husband.
The Obama's are in love, isn't that great when you think of it on a day like this? Aren't they a great couple and family to represent our nation? I think they are.
Let's have a really strong woman in the White House by voting for Barack!

For those that are not convinced of Clinton's corruption, there is a report on a Chinese web site. Bill Clinton bought stocks from a Chinese government sponsored company and sold stocks for more than $700,000 shortly. Severn months later, Hillary started her prsential campaign. This Chinese company was found fraud later in New York and claimed bankruptcy. Stay tune for upcoming new scandles.

It's apparently a moot topic.
Should Spitzer resign, the Lt. Governor will take over, and he is also on record as supporting Clinton, according to CBS Marketwatch. (Apparently there was a bit of a cheer going up when the story broke on the floor of the Exchange)

Let's have a President in office who enjoys a great marriage and a great family life, a family that actually sets an fine and inspiring example.
Lat's have Barack Obama for President.
Posted by: Karen Wing | Mar 10, 2008 6:06:27 PM
Democrat leadership is full of sleazy characters like Governor Eliot Spitzer. That is why we cann't afford to put a Democrat in the White House.
Posted by: JL | Mar 10, 2008 6:00:27 PM
Then Marion shouldn't Obama be guilt of guilt by association to Rezko? Exact same difference, none.
Posted by: Dogsoldier | Mar 10, 2008 5:57:23 PM
Now we know what SPitzer means when he claims that Hillary is reall, really EXPERIENCED!!! Three diamonds??
Posted by: mel | Mar 10, 2008 5:57:16 PM
I would be highly surprised if another client on that ring's list wouldn't be called Bill by his friends.
Posted by: Marion | Mar 10, 2008 5:45:14 PM
He endorsed Hillary Clinton. Perhaps she will say “-(as far as i know), i never asked him to endorse me, it was Bill who asked him, I was on a 3 AM,red phone call, with McCain!”
