Hillary's New Internet Video

The fact:

Dems' primaries:

Obama won 10 "black" states and 6 'red" states

Hillary won 17 states (most of blue bases)

Dems' caususes:

Obama won 13 caucuses

Hillary won 1

Apparently Obama dominated caucuses but Hillary won more primaries..

It is the fact Obama is leading Dems nominee race by Dems' RULE...

It is the fact neither candidate has won enough delegates to officially claim the victory

It is only assumption Obama would be Nominee of Dems...

There is still plenty of time to root for the first female President and the first independent President. But, it was a bit depressing for me to hear BC stated over the weekend that he and HC will forever be Democrat. The only way I knew how to get over this was to think of Joe Lieberman. He's a life long Democrat, isn't he?

I thought it was softer, more personal. Less energetic, perhaps, but "thank you" takes a different tone that "Here we go!" Tired, perhaps, but "forlorn"? You're making much too much of it, as the media generally do.

If theire roles were reversed, Obama would have been drummed out at the point that he'd lost 12 consecutive contests, was outraising her 4 to 1, and had a consistent lead in the votes.

The only reason she's been allowed to continue is because she's Hillary Clinton, pillar of the old school of Democratic Politics, and former First Lady.

Clinton supporters now are howling for Obama to step down because he's supposedly such a selfish upstart who woulnd't wait his turn. Can you imagine what they'd say if she was WINNING?

Such hypocrites.

For super delegates who want to win in November and are able to stand up to the understandable disappointment of african americans, I think they can look past any fatigue on Clinton's part and see a candidate who's done a far better job of standing up to everything that's been thrown at her.

Obama, if he makes it past the convention, won't know what hit him and November is an awfully long time for the DNC and super delegates to hold their collective breath waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I checked my email thoroughly. I did not get the Thank You but did get other messages from the Clinton campaign. I also got a Mother's Day Message from Gov. Deval Patrick, you know "Words, just words," also an Axelrod creation and friend of Oprah!!

Reality check: Hillary Clinton is not the best, but the worst candidate to run in November. Why? Highest negative polling numbers of any starting candidate in history. 40-50% of Americans do not like her. Running her in the fall may hurt more than help the Democrats. The Superdelegates know this... Actually, most of the DEMs know it too. 70% voted against her in Iowa. That wasn't a mistake - that was a statistical fact in regard to her negative image. Luckily we DEMs have woken up, smelled the coffee, and have found someone far less devisive that the Republicans will have a hard time fighting. The Superdelegates know this, and as many are running in the fall, they will be jumping on the Obama band-wagon - full steam ahead -- because they know he is going to annihilate McCain.

Hillary's High Negatives
By Donald Lambro

Democrats face a potentially disastrous conundrum in the 2008 presidential nominating race: Sen. Hillary Clinton, the front-runner, is the most disliked candidate among her party's contenders.

Despite her strong lead over her closest rivals, the New York senator draws the general electorate's highest negative ratings of anyone in the race, Republican or Democrat, when pollsters ask voters if they have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of each candidate.

A Gallup survey Aug. 3-5 found 49 percent of the 1,012 Americans polled said they had an unfavorable opinion of her, while 47 percent were favorable. Gallup asks this question every year and, since March, Mrs. Clinton's unfavorable numbers have varied little, rising to 52 percent in April, then 50 percent in June, but generally remaining between 48 percent and 49 percent for most of the year.

Hey folks, politics is a rough game and if anyone knows it, it's the Clintons - both of them. There's no reason to feel sorry for Hillary. She's rich, well-connected, has any number of fantastic opportunities awaiting her, the best of which will occur if Obama falls for whatever reason. Hillary Clinton will never be wanting for anything. What I feel sorry about is the fact that I wanted so badly for a woman to be elected president but as time went on during her campaigning I found her to be more and more unbearable. She was terribly inconsistent in her message, arrogant in her assumption that it was "her turn," downright nasty, promoted McCain as being worthy of being president at the expense of Obama, kitchen-sinking it all over the place, lying about Bosnia (a biggie for me personally), and poor-me-ing it to death. And spending campaign money like there was no tomorrow with the end result of going into debt. I admire tremendously her energy and her focus and her smarts but she ran her campaign really lousy. If something happens and Obama is out of the running for whatever reason I will certainly vote for her but somewhere along the line she became my second choice.

KY and WV sends out a clear and loud message:

SKIN COLOR still matters a lot in this country. Imaginary sniper fires are real to them, and thus Hillary is more honest than Barack.

But I am not hopeless: Still we are making progress....and in that pace someday those people would be small enough in numbers that their total vote would not matter.

She had every right to be tired, she has worked her heart out, as well as her great family, and yet people show her little respect for everything she has done! She seemed sincere and like she was talking from the heart, which she has done the whole campaign! She and her supporters know how much better of a person and a candidate she is and that is why we refuse to quit when everyone is being rude about it. We know we have the better candidate in our corner who cares about us and what needs to be done for a better future, and is not beating around the bush when it comes to the issues! Keep fighting Hillary!

Looks like she's going back to the softer, kinder Hillary.

This has been one of her biggest gaffs, in my opinion. There hasn't been one clear message. What happened to her passioned plea for a gas tax holiday? The day after Indiana/North Carolina not a single word about it. On to the next topic for the Clinton campaign.

This is one of the reasons why she has such high negative numbers. She's been like a chameleon.

Great candidate -- poorly run campaign.

I think she's physically exhausted but resolved. I don't think there's anyway she's giving in. And this should help people see her for who she is -- she's tired but still fighting for them, she's the real thing.

I think Hillary would make a fine president..so would Obama! Anyone but a Republican. The Republican policies have run our beloved country's economy into the dumps..and 82% of the country think that the country is heading in the wrong direction(Under Republican leadership..I might add)..but check this out! These so called smart and wise Americans are considering voting for McCain in November to continue the failed policies of the Republican party. Me thinks this would be height of stupidity..it started with the election of Dubya.Wake up America!

Hillary is a valiant fighter who truly cares for America. She knows the odds are against her. Obama - who hasn't reached the required number of delegates and can't without the SuperDs - has now dismissed her and declared himself the winner. The media is carrying him along. We will see what happens Tuesday in WV. And if it's a big win for Clinton, we'll see how the media treats the victory. I'm just one woman but I will make my voice heard in November for the mistreatment this woman has endured at the hands of the media and the Old Boys Club of the Democratic Party.

Let's see two anti-sympathetic for OBAMA and 1 fawning for Clinton. What a post partisan view

first of all it makes me sad. it is all so wrong the way she has been treated. if the tables were turned the place settings would look different as well. what i mean here is he would not be questioned as to why he was staying in and the advice he would be getting would be what he needs to do to win. in contrast what she gets is instructions on how she can stay in but is not to do anything that would be seen as negative against him. who wouldn't look defeated after such a long battle and then forced essentially to do nothing so you lose or just go ahead and quit. and on top of this all the snide remarks about why she doesn't deserve the vp slot. is there any question who her vp would be? but i think the main thing for those of us who support her is to remember what a fighter she is and not give up on her. instead see her as the great role model she is and do all we can to help her be successful.

She's done like dinner.

You're right.I agree with you.
I like to add to your post,that,the
democtatic party is under control from the blacks and ultra left wing liberals.
Under those conditions is very hard for
anybody else to succeed in the race,
regardless how good is the candidate.
Dean,Pelosi,Reid know the situation.
In november the will of the people will
prevail.Obama will be defeated by
landslide.

A scandal could hit Obama at any time even after he gets the nomination.
