Et Tu, Carville?
May 13, 2008 11:09 AM
Clinton loyalist James Carville at Furman University: "I’m for Senator Clinton, but I think the great likelihood is that Obama will be the nominee. As soon as I determine when that is, I’ll send him a check.”
The Ragin' Cajun also said that Sen. Hillary Clinton should keep fighting until the last dog dies, and "I still hear some dogs barking.”

JT,
Mr Carville did not mean she is over but he waits until it's time determine, means after the battle not NOW.
He is a smart guy ,he delivered some messages to her supporters to not quit.
He said he still hear some dogs barking.

Howard Dean should have a revote in FL. and MI. Whomever has the most popular vote would be president and second would be vp. We would have a valid WINNING ticket. Instead we are going to have millions of democrats disenfranchised and out for revenge. Thanks for nothing but a big mess Howard.

Countallthevotes,
Let's tell all Hillary supporters send her e mails and ask her to be Independent.
We will support her all the way to November.
Go...Hillary..

What will it finally take to get her out of the race? Carville is the last bastion of support - virtually. Now he's gone.

This should be the biggest clue of all to both HRC and her supporters. If James Carville, the most ardent Clinton advocate of all time, says it's over, then HRC herself must know it's over. Even Terry McAuliffe this weekend agreed that the odds that HRC would prevail are highly unlikely. Still, HRC deserves the right to stay in the race as long as possible. Here's hoping that she and Bill can make a graceful exit from the campaign, so that she can live to fight another day.

sonia trevino,
Thank you for explaining that we Hillary supporters owe nothing to the DNC or Obama at all. Being a registered Democrat does not define me either. I define me. The Democrat label to me now is a misnomer. There has been nothing democratic about the treatment of the Clintons, the HRC supporters, the voters of MI and FL, the remaining voters in WV, KY, PR etc.
I need a new label and it will be INDEPENDENT

miguel-i realize that many many obama supporters cannot believe that some of us would support john mccain because we trust him more than the other guy. only party insiders have to tow the party line the rest of us don't. we can vote for, or against anybody we want. and we do not owe anybody an explanation. you have us confused with obama supporters we do not drink koolaide. i am my candidate, my candidate is not me. i am my party, my party is not me. party affiliation does not define me. i am free. thank God i live in America.

justme2see: Are you one of the 19% who still approve of Bush? If so, I understand your statement. If not, educate yourself.
Posted by: dano | May 13, 2008 1:02:21 PM
dano, a vote for McCain is the only sane vote left to us.
Posted by: justme2see | May 13, 2008 1:00:30 PM
Mona,
I agree.
This is only some way to mislead her supporters to not support her anyway.
Hillary supporters please do not believe all the medias bias, keep supporting her all the way to the convention.
We gather all together, we will be stronger and stronger...

It is utterly incomprehensible that self professed Democrats angrily announce they they will vote for McCain if Obama wins the nomination. Have you been awake these last 8 years? I intend to vote for Obama, but if Hillary was the nominee, I would not hesitate to vote for her. How could any thinking Democrat even consider voting for another Republican? With very few exceptions, McCain is in political lock step with Bush. This country will not survive 8 more years of the devastation we have witnessed under Bush. Wake up! The issue is larger than your Democratic preference. You are responsible for saving this nation.

Lots of people think if she is not the nominee she should run as Independent.
I agree.
I will support her 100%.
Most of her supporters think she may win.
Pls pray for her and make a donation even small amount of money she will appreciate it.
Thank you.

Miguel, you're ignoring the fact that there are 'real Hillary supporters' who are truly unhappy with how this race has been handled by Obama and the media. Not everything is some conspiracy to make it easier for McCain. The sooner Obama's camp starts acknowledging that Hillary's supporters have some reason to be annoyed, instead of calling them conspirators for McCain, the sooner we can get on with so-called 'healing.'

Thank you, Countallthevotes, for that wonderful post.

Simple question about Obama:
1) FOR 20 YEARS at 52 weeks per year, FOR MORE THAN A THOUSAND SERMONS, Obama listened to Jeremiah Wright. Surprising that no once, NOT EVEN ONCE, was there anything that Wright preached that was remotely close to "God D**N America!"? Wow! Not once in more than a THOUSAND HOURS of sermonizing? Heck, even in the short press conference, Wright was combative!
2) Even after Wright preached such nonsense, Obama not only chose the man to conduct his wedding but also baptize his children. Wright is right in feeling as if he has been treated like a used Condom - use it to screw someone and then discard without a second thought!
And Obama once referred to Wright being his "mentor" then his "pastor" and then dropped him once the heat got too much.
Shows judgement!

Oh Jake, James has been saying this for months now? So for you to imply that he betrayed Hillary like Brutus betrayed Ceasar like Richardson betrayed Hillary is a bit of a stretch dear!!!! James is a very loyal Hillary supporter and one of her best surrogates. He tells it like it is!!! The media has made sure Obama is the nominee so your wish has been granted, when he looses the general election in November....you better make sure to blame yourselves...oh wait...I am sure you all will blame Hillary for that too. Everyone is so in love with the idea of Obama and it will be too late to recognize he really doesn't have any idea!!!
President Hillary 08

Is Carville now a "Jusas" for even speaking aloud the thought that Hilary will most likely not be the nominee?
Posted by: touchetgal | May 13, 2008 12:51:35 PM
IndependentPlease,
I do love that!! I would not hesitate to back Hillary as an Independent!
Posted by: countallthevotes | May 13, 2008 12:50:12 PM
Alexander,
I agree.
I, personaly vote for her not because she is a woman.
I would vote for anyone even black,yellow,white as long as I know this person is good for the country.
It's just too bad DNC and most Americans don't see it that way.
