Political Punch

I have been Democrat for a long time. I am so disappointed with the way Democrat leadership has been handling the election and its political theme shifted so far left, I consider the Democratic party as
Black party. I guess voting for McCain wouldn't be so bad, unless Hillary changes her party affiliation to Independent. Please Hillary let me have another chance at putting you in the White House.

Ellsworth "Um, well, I don't want to lose my seat, so I guess I'll vote with my constituents, if I have to. I guess that kinda means I'll vote for Clinton... Unless of course something else happens, you know, to give me an excuse not to vote for her... anything... any little thing at all... Please?... God?...Anybody?..."

to that i guess a person in texas,you should read the dnc rules as they state that the party is to take half the delegates not all of them,that was deans idea and i beleive that was done as mr dean knew they were hillary strongholds and without them it would be easier to advance his shill obama.so if florida and michagan arnt counted you can bet on mass desertions from the party.

Not exactly an resounding endorsement is it?

For all the Hillary people who swear they will vote for McCain...go ahead. There are a lot of Obamacans and Independents who are taking your place on the ballot. And BTW, those cross over voters really DO believe in their choice. I know because I am one and I have spoken to countless others. We are not Limbaugh's or Hillary's sheep.

Hillary's only remaining argument now is that Obama isn't electable (meaning black) and she is a woman. Those are the very things she said should not be the basis of your votes. There are other w/women like myself who think for ourselves and don't wait for her to tell us what to do or think or vote for.

Hillary had to give up on those fighter and experience arguments after her stomping in NC, near loss in Indiana and the hilarous footage of her Bosnia sniper fire landing.

Now the little fighter just sounds pissed off, bitter and angry if you have heard her lately. I know the Clintons are working a backdoor angle. It's like waiting on the enemy to come at you in the night.

I can only hope the voters keep supporting Obama so our voices will continue to be heard and eventually take the air out of the tires on that Clinton political machine.

All you Hillary supporters who are screaming count Florida and Michigan, let me ask you a hypothetical question:

If your children were going to play a game on the schoolyard with another class and the teacher called everyone together and explained the rules of the game....the kids run off to form their teams. The teacher blows the whistle and the games begin. They play for most of the recess period...one team is scoring pretty good, in fact very well. The teacher blows the whistle again and says WE NEED TO CHANGE THE RULES...we had a protest from the losing team and we are almost out of recess time anyway...what would you say to the teacher?

Is there anyone out there who really thinks it is right to change the rules of this election when so many people on both sides have worked so hard, sent money and devoted precious personal time to their candidates? I didn't think so.

I though I would put this in terms even a Hillary supporter could read and understand.

Since Obama is half-white why does he say he is black?

And would he have gotten this far if he labeled himself biracial?

Not trying to be racist just wonder if this was always Obama's plan to win.

Wrong, Easy,

Obama is not black. He is half-black.

And, voting against him or not supporting him is not an automatic show of racism.

That's called playing the race card.

Disgusting...

Not supporting BO is not equivalent to racism, as some BO supporters felt. It happens BO is flawed, hidden behind the trump card that he has played so skillfully. He trashes the only 2-term dem-president in modern history, equating Clinton administration to Bush's. I consider this to be the number one sin, being a democrat - accusing your fellow dems for your own political gains.

Therefore, the conclusion is that BO does not deserve the support from moderate, reasonable dems.

The most comments here is not about OBAMA winning, it's just RACISTS most
are not happy about OBAMA winning because he is BLack, and affraid to say it, but if you read the tone of the write up, most people are using this to say things about OBAMA that is not true, THE Clintons are full of Lies, who wants a lier as a president??, if you all care about America, be happy that Obama is coming for a better tommorrow.

Obama haters,you all should get over it, this race is over,OBAMA has won, and there is no stopping him. sorry for the Clinton lossers.

This is how Hillary and her supporters win...
We will get to say we didn't support a candidate that used his church,betrayed his pastor, listened to hate-filled anti-American sermons for 20 years, then lied about it.

Then we get to sit back and watch Obama live in a fishbowl with all of America watching his every move. Looking for any signs of his radical views.

We get to watch his supporters turn on him as he ignores blacks to please whites and vice-versa, and as they get to see the real Obama.

He sold his soul for political ambition.

Hillary and supporters always saw through his lies.

That's how we win.

Number of individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes: 47

Democratic party is finished.

Republicans with McCain back in the white house.

Voters DO NOT TRUST Obama.He got the
nomination with blacks and the left wing
anti-americans.

DNC CHANGE THE NOMINATION PROCESS.
IT'S UNDEMOCRATIC.

Yep, ProgDem. The very same.

No one knows what goes on between two people so the divorce is not my business. I won't dignify that remark with a response.

The Keating 5 thing was ugly. No doubt. Wright was ugly too. We'll see which has legs later, but my guess is a long forgotten financial scandal will pale next to the loops of Reverend Wright because it is a nice crunchy fast display and explanations of finance tend to make voter eyes glaze over.

I still wonder why he called his wife the extension for a Windows Help File. .? Seems silly to me but who knows. Maybe he really is a Mac fan and she is PC.

That aside, we've yet to see what will come out of the Rezko/Auchi trial.

In reference to John McCain:

No matter which Presidential candidate you support, the man has served his country for most of his adult life.

The same people who slam John McCain are probably the same ones who refuse to show respect and allegiance to the United States and the symbols that represent this country.

Whether in the military or as an elected official, John McCain has more time serving the United States honorably than Barack Obama will ever have.

While I did not support John McCain as a candidate, if Barack Obama should manage to wriggle his way into the Democrat nomination, I will vote for McCain.

And there are a growing number of Democrats and independents who will be with me.

Nice to see some people still have loyalty and integrity.

You have GOT to be kidding about the media bias. Where have you been over the last month with wall to wall blasting of Barack Obama for every little thing he has done, said, or thought?

And while that was going on, Hillary escaped much scrutiny for ANYTHING she said, even on that ridiculous gas holiday pander or that monstrous threat to obliterate Iran, until it appeared to be that the VAST majority of thinking Americans actually cared more for issues than innuendo.

I have NEVER seen media frenzy like the negative spotlight that has been shone on Barack Obama in the last weeks. The fact he has survived it is an amazing news story in itself.

But it is beyond belief that Hillary Clinton supporters think the media has been anything but enablers for this woman.

Her background is riddled with unsavory characters--no media outlet has looked at that.

One of her first jobs was with a law firm defending the Black Panthers--no media outlet has looked at that.

The Indiana factory that moved to China because of Hubby's policies, the 200,000 jobs lost in NYC to overseas during Hillary Clinton's watch--none of that was mentioned on the big media.

The LIES about Bosnia were allowed to slip silently into that good night--lies repeated from her own lips to enhance your 'experience', not lies given by someone else on her behalf.

And you really think MSM is favoring Barack? What rock have you been hiding under?

Speaking of revelations about Senator Obama and his associates, I came across these two articles yesterday, the first, "No Regrets" from 2001, contains a picture of William Ayers in August 2001, in which he displays his contempt for the American flag. The second, "Rebel Without a Pause" from 1993, reveals a good bit about his wife (Bernadine Dohrn). I recommend both articles to interested parties:

Sorry that the URLs are so long. You might find these articles more quickly by using the Search Box on the Chicago Magazine site.

Enjoy!

Why are people still talking about Clinton? It is now time to concentrate on the General Election. this nomination process is OVER.

I am much more interested in talking about Obama vs. McCain.

At least Hillary Clinton is a fighter and is continuing the nomination fight.

My prediction is that she will do quite well through the last primary.

In addition, the gloves will come off after the last vote of the last primary.

If you think Rezko, Wright, Ayers, Dohrn and the rest of the Obama scandals were bad, get ready.

First: McCain is not like G.W. Bush - the similarities are: They are both Republicans. McCain is his own man - he doesn't need endorsers like Kennedy, Kerry-Heinz or Biden to make decisions for him. He has the experience and leadership to become an excellent President - which he will.
Second: The obama cult followers are celebrating too soon. Wait until the next expose' regarding obama comes down the line. (of course, you will blame Hillary and so will obama as it is well known he has a problem with accepting responsibility). Do you think that the "typical white person" will vote for a black person with close up and personal ties with an anti-American preacher, a white-hating wife, a supposedly American who loves to bomb America, a crook in Illinois who gave obama money from a person with terrorist ties, a person supported by the Hamas, and a person who detests Jews and "typical white senior citizens? Think again. John McCain is a hero - obama wasn't even a Boy Scout, he was busy studying the Koran. John McCain is a TRUE AMERICAN - Obama, with his Anti-American relationships, do you think the seniors, the women, the Hispanics, the Asians and the "typical White Washington DC politician will give obama the White House and the Oval Office so he can start to sell out this country to Iran? Better think once again. He will never be elected in the General Election.
Third: I hope that Hillary Clinton will never accept the VP with the obama/wright duo. Hillary is made of good American stuff - obama is the three day left over garbage, which was fed to him by Wright. Hillary will end up very powerful in Washington D.C. and will still make changes for the better. There is no hope and change from the Hussin obama/wright team.

YoProgDem:

Did you ever look at the record of one Ulysses S. Grant vs Robert E. Lee academically? Fighters and winners aren't always scholars.

If you could pick up the phone and call the White House to tell them how badly they are screwing over this country and you know they would take the call, would you make that call? Keep in mind, McCain opposed Bush's policies as well. That is why he had such a hard time getting the nomination.

If your Dad could have sent you to the finest leadership academy in the world, would it have made you more capable of choosing for the country instead of making a statement from guilt? Wherever he was in class standing, there is no way Harvard compares to the Naval Academy in terms of academic excellence, leadership training, or difficulty.

If you had 1/100th of the courage that McCain has, you'd be running for President instead of just talking, somewhat like your candidate.

No matter what happens to this nomination, the surest way to lose in the General Election is to trash talk McCain. Even the black vote will abandon you because whatever the differences, Americans stand up for their troops. When you understand that, you may be ready to make a choice for something instead of against it.

It's over for Hillary. Her race baiting comments today in USA today has toasted her. The progressive blog-o-sphere is fed up with her taking steps to inflame racial tensions.

Progressive Democrat said:

Yavo Lem must be a HIllary supporter because now they are making up entirely different rules altogether in order to somehow come up with a fake scenario showing Hillary winning. That is HILLARYIOUS. Only a Hillary supporter would even consider such a presposterous argument. Guess what Yavo, your candidate would have won if more people would have voted for her. Duh. Camp Hillary and her supporters need remedial math skills.

=========================================

Please, don't take my word for it. Do the math yourself. Look at the NYT site. What I posted shows who is the stronger candidate, just based on what they have accomplished so far.

Am I a Hillary supporter? Actually, no, I wasn’t, initially. I am a Registered Independent from Connecticut and I could not vote because my state has a CLOSED PRIMARY, so I empathize very strongly with the good voters of Florida and Michigan. That being said, since the New Hampshire debate, when Senator Obama began to reveal himself, I have learned more and more about him and Senator Clinton, and I decided that I would, for the first time in my 6-plus decades, support, both financially and by other efforts, the person I think is right for the times, not WRIGHT for the times.

Do I make myself clear?

However, if Senator Obama becomes the Democratic nominee, I will do one of two things, either vote Republican, or not vote at all. In my opinion, Senator McCain with a Democratic Congress should not be much of a problem ... for a one-term President, assuming he picks a young, economically-savvy VP, almost anyone but Condi.

McCain's policies are the same as Bush. In fact he likes his economic policy. Republicans need to get out so a dem will help our economy.

"If BO and his supporters keep trashing the Bill Clinton administration which has brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to this country, they are no dems, but simply doing a republican hit job."

Bill Clinton accomplished a lot in his presidency, but I was there, and I remember all the bad that came with that good.

I remember the Republican sweep of the Congress that his tactics brouht on.

I remember the country being paralyzed with scandal.

I remember that a lot of the economic mess that came after 2000 was due to bad choices during his administration.

I remember that Bid Laden was putting 9/11 together while we were busy impeaching him for his scandals and lies.

I remember that Al Gore lost to Bush due in part to the dead weight of Clinton's bad image.

I remember that we've paid for that with Bush for 8 years.

If BO and his supporters keep trashing the Bill Clinton administration which has brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to this country, they are no dems, but simply doing a republican hit job.

Of course, BO and BO supporters, use this dirty typical political trick for their own political gains by hitting one Clinton to implicate another Clinton.

For that, this demo candidate does not deserve the support of real democrats.

Competent executive leadership huh Len. That's why his campaign is in constant contact with the Whitehouse. That is why he has embraced all of Bush's policies. That is why he is McSame aka McBush. By the way, he graduated second to last in his class at the Naval Academy and only got in because his dad was an admiral.

I dislike the far left more than I dislike McCain and I'm a Democrat..for now.

More spin from the Clinton campers. Just like the delegates from MI. How does it feel now MI? Hillary sold you guys out today by not accepting the deal that MI proposed to the DNC LOL Are you guys STILL going to maintain that she is speaking for you? That SHE wants your vote to count LOL or are yu finally going to accept that YOU ONLY count if it is better for HER? Actions, as always, speak louder than words.

Wittle babies don't get their way they are going to take their toys and go home to the Republicans LOL How mature and uneducated but we already knew that didn't we?
Hope 4 more years of Bush is worth it for ya ROTFLMAO

fontapa sez: "We just need to remember that we despise McBush even more."

That's McCain and you are wrong about that. That is the child in you talking. McCain is a trained US Navy officer with years of experience in the Senate. He has a solid record of legislative achievement and a war record you can only envy.

Get a clue, Kid: this is about competent executive leadership, not pie in the sky dreams or getting even with the baby boomers because your generation has nothing to offer or remember.

McCain is quite acceptable as a President for four years.

Yavo Lem must be a HIllary supporter because now they are making up entirely different rules altogether in order to somehow come up with a fake scenario showing Hillary winning. That is HILLARYIOUS. Only a Hillary supporter would even consider such a presposterous argument. Guess what Yavo, your candidate would have won if more people would have voted for her. Duh. Camp Hillary and her supporters need remedial math skills.

Ellsworth (who represents my district) is waffling. Early on he said he'd cast his SuperD vote for whoever won his district. As our primary grew closer, he changed to what he's saying now. Obama has given him $10,000 from his Hopefund PAC. He's just trying to have it all ways.

The faux uniter doesn't have my vote under any circumstance.

barack hussien obama should face reality and get out of the race. He will NEVER be president.

Bye Bye Bitter; "I'll vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win" folks. Good Riddance. He is going to need it since he cannot even win 78% of the Republican vote when he is the only one campaigning in his party.

Which Democratic is most electable?

Consider this:

The Democratic Electoral College as of April 23, 2008

This assumes a winner-take-all primary/caucus vote takes all Electoral votes for each state. The totals immediately below are WITHOUT any consideration of the states of Florida and Michigan.

Clinton 261

Obama 181

But with Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 305

Obama 181

Assuming the following victories, based on current polls, with Clinton winning Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Obama winning North Carolina, South Dakota, Oregon (which is doubtful), and Montana, the totals would then be, still without Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 285

Obama 209

Even with a victory for Obama in Indiana, the totals would be, still without Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 274

Obama 220

Whether or not the vote turns out as indicated, I firmly believe the above analysis more than amply demonstrates which of the Democratic candidates is in a better position to be the stronger candidate in the General Election.

In addition, the ACTUAL PLEDGED DELEGATE count, as per the New York Timss is:

Obama 1408
Clinton 1330

Difference 78

Everything else is counting one's chickens before they hatch.

This nominating process will go to Denver and be decided there. And I know who will be chosen.

I personally think Kathleen Sebelius would make a terrific VP.

Carpenter.NYC and their fellow Hillary supporters are the Branch Davidians of the Democratic party. It is the end of the world now that Hillary has lost. Oh my god...watch out for the rapture...our anointed queen was defeated. Just sore losers.

Gee Bham, maybe you're Donna Brazile, because that's exactly what she said.

Kira, I wasn't referring to his own campaign staff - I should have been more clear. I was talking about the 24/7 media support group. Olbermann, etc. who rush to his defense no matter what negative information is brought up.

You have GOT to be kidding about the media bias--where have you been over the last month with wall to wall blasting of Barack Obama for every little thing he has done, said, or thought?

And while that was going on, Hillary escaped much scrutiny for ANYTHING she said, even on that ridiculous gas holiday pander or that monstrous threat to obliterate Iran, until it appeared to be that the VAST majority of thinking Americans actually cared more for issues than innuendo.

I have NEVER seen media frenzy like the negative spotlight that has been shone on Barack Obama in the last weeks. The fact he has survived it is an amazing news story in itself.

But it is beyond belief that Hillary Clinton supporters think the media has been anything but enablers for this woman.

Champion of free but balanced speech....

Bishop, McCain is the McSame as McBush. Why is his campaign in constant contact with the Whitehouse on a daily basis? Because they have the same agenda(s). More imperial wars, more torture, more tax cuts for the filthy rich, more cronyism, more recessions, more politcizing of the Justice department, more radical Right Wing nut supreme court justices, McSame as Bush.

You think she will get 70% of the remaining superdelegates? That isn't going to happen. Also, why are you calling me a cretin when I just asked you a question. Everybody just calm down. If you (not Calli but Hillary supporters) feel as though you have to vote for McCain then do what you have to do, but it is the equivalent of a vote for Bush policy wise. You will have to live with that. Unite against McCain '08.

You play Rev Wright for 24x7 for six weeks before an election, then the polls begin to tell even the news media that people don't really care that much about it anymore, and they begin to swing back toward a more neutral stance (which they never ever achieved until Tuesday appeared to dampen their Destroy Obama stance)--and you think this proves....... what?

And the notion that Obama's staff were trying to balance the reportage and bring it back to the issues proves . . . . what? What would you have had his staff do?

And let's return to Hillary: you don't see her staff scrambling every day to change her errant remarks and sometimes bizarre behavior into positives? Why do the HIllary folks get that option but the Barack folks not?

Hillary comes out early and says the guys are ganging up on me, then says there is no gender card being played.

Hillary comes out and says there isn't equal press coverage of Barack and her, so the MSM immediately turns negative on Barack.

Hillary refuses to answer any questions she deems off policy, and the MSM meeking backs off.

Hillary says she has been vetted and therefore doesn't need any more scrutiny, and the media agree, even when it is evident that there is much more to uncover.

I understand this is a hard time for the Hillary supporters, but trying to change the truth should be left to her campaign and not to reality.

I've seen these big problems for years if you made it thru the sixty's and seventy's this is a cake walk

To Bham: If Obama does not reache 2025 pledged delegates (not including superdelegates) at the end of the primaries, then he has not reached the nomination - according to "the rules". Which means the nomination will be determined at the convention, and superdelegates will have from June 3 until August to ponder their pledges, which can be changed at any time, including at the time of the actual vote on the convention floor. So Obama should not be so certain, and his supporters should stop acting like such cretins.

I am still waiting on a reply. Can any Hillary supporters please outline a scenario in which she wins? Not just in your heart, but with actual facts and numbers? Also, I have heard people say "if Obama steals this nomination". This is absurd. Since when did getting more delegates and votes constitute "stealing"? Awaiting a serious reply...

True advise: put your country first, NOT any Political Party and vote for whoever you think the best to lead this country and Americans...

That is your first right and obligation as a US citizen...

McCain isn't Bush

Kira said: "You have GOT to be kidding about the media bias. Where have you been over the last month with wall to wall blasting of Barack Obama for every little thing he has done, said, or thought?"

Sure, the media was playing the Wright tapes over and over, but Obama had his 24/7 support group defending and protecting him. As soon as a video of Wright was on, Olbermann and the rest of the fan club ran to Obama's side.

So, if I understand this item correctly, Ellsworth is saying, "I'm going to vote for Hillary Clinton at the convention, but I don't endorse her." Is that about right?

McCain with a democrat congress and senate were all safe grid lock is better than a rookie

That was the republican congress who didn't do well

Mr. Ellsworth and Mr Shuler are good democrats and have committed to vote according to the wishes of their constituency. It will not affect the outcome. Mr. Obama will run against Mr. McCain in the GE. The main question now is the VP selection. It should be very interesting.

Don't you have faith in our Democratic congress to stop McCain I do

Can any Hillary supporters please outline a scenario in which she wins? Not just in your heart, but with actual facts and numbers? Also, I have heard people say "if Obama steals this nomination". This is absurd. Since when did getting more delegates and votes constitute "stealing"? Awaiting a serious reply...

Obama plans to declare victory on May 20th, before the DNC rules committee meets and before all the primaries are voted! This is the candidate of the future - Obama knows the future before we do - because the fix is in and Obama already knows he will win the GE. John McCain and the Republicans should just hand over the keys to the White House now. Chicago politics is coming to Washington big time!

Kito11,

I like Hillary also but I don't agree if she becomes VP.
We all know, she is a hard working woman.
She will work very hard and while Obama may take credit for that.
She would do much better than Obama.
That's what DNC trying to do now.
They have to get Hillary supporters in order Obama wins in the GE.

I can tell you I won't vote for him Iam behind Clinton but I will vote for Mccain and keep my bumper sticker Hillary right next to my Mccain one there are no loyal people in Washington so why should I be one.

Drew, if you do not have enough of WBush policies and faillures then you can vote for the old McCain, you will have plenty of these failled policies with have brought America into recession and losing its standing in the world. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

She can still win. She's a fighter, which is why she's my candidate of choice. I will stand with her 100%.

This nomination should only be determined at the end of the road, which is the Dem Natn'l convention in August. Rules are rules, as they say !

If Obama steals the nomination, McCain will get my vote. Obama cannot beat McCain.

Brszile sent a email to a Hillary supporter and told her to vote for a republican or stay home.

I think she'd make a great VP choice, but come on, even Hillary supporters have to ask this question about that scenario...

If a Clinton was a VP, would you want to be the President's food tester?

In all seriousness, I think the dream ticket would be nice, but I think there are some Clinton supporters who wouldn't go for that, they seem to hate Obama so much...

Too bad, cause an abstained vote is just like a vote for McCain, Iraq, tax cuts for the wealthy, no healthcare, etc.

We don't need to pander to each other after this is done. We can still despise the opposing Democrat to our hearts content.

We just need to remember that we despise McBush even more.

Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that most media outlets are bias against Hillary Clinton. Even the polls indicate that about 70% against the Clinton campaign. This has caused dissent within the party and given Obama an edge.
I will not vote for Obama on any ticket: McCain has my approval over Obama. And the primaries are not over yet.

CharlieChaplin,

Excellent post.
Thanks

Hillary is my girl and I wish her all the best on this fight that I pray she will win. If she can't win the nominee than she should at least be VP because nobody is as passionate for the people as she is. She would do alot of good as VP then make a run at being president in 4 years. Either that or throw Al Gore on as a nominee and he's got my vote. Bottom line is if OBAMA gets the nominee and Hilliary is not offered VP at least then McCain will get my vote because I like most woman hold grudges.

Actually, I don't really know how BO can unite this country.
He keeps saying it.
If Hillary is not the nominee, I would stay home.
I don't even want to watch the Inauguration.

Laura intended to say that she is a "highly educated" person. With such a poor use of the English language? I am not a highly educated person, but I am able to identify one, when I see her/him.

Oh, my goodness─ this “madness” or the “frenzy” that seized the media after Sen. Obama’s win in North Carolina reminds me of the same madness and the flag-waving frenzy that seized us as we marched into Baghdad. Remember, these are for the most part the same media people who cheered us to quagmire in Iraq, now doing the same thing for Sen. Obama. I am afraid for sake of our country, what’s ahead for us! What I fear is that when people are acting so irrational and when their reasoning and logic is so lopsided, usually there’s a big let down or a tragedy is around the corner! The American media has become a fertile ground for most irrational observers. I don’t know where you find these people come from or where they were educated. The way they spin things! While they spin out of control, they forget there are several sides to an issue or an event. Soberness and good judgment has gone out of fashion and replaced by fantasy and image consciousness. What a prescription for a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. The irrationality of the media is a terrible tragedy for the whole country. Sen. Obama has still a way to go to secure his nomination by getting the necessary number of delegates, which he can’t. He needs super delegates as much as Sen. Clinton does. And long before the contest was even half-way over one talking-head after another started asking Sen. Clinton to drop out! Sen. Obama’s win in North Carolina gave him a chance to look good in the aftermath of a long losing streak of most important states like Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania. It was obvious that N. Carolina vote was primarily along the racial lines. 92% of Black Americans voting for Sen. Obama but 40% white voters. But I am astonished by the rather vulgar exaggerations and hype of the media to make it look like the nomination race is over, when Sen. Obama has not even reached the needed number of delegates! For example Lee Cowen of NBC upgraded “North Carolina” to the category of a major battle-ground state, last night! Sen. Obama again lost the Reagan Democrats. And without them he can’t obviously win the White House, along with working class Americans even if he’s the nominee. That’s how desperate these media people are to promote Barack Obama, and spin even a rather many sided event into “a big deal” for Sen. Obama. And at the same time even big deal for Sen. Clinton get slighted and dismissed. All Democrats should support Sen. Clinton just to demonstrate the fact we don’t tolerate such unfairness in a democracy such as ours! Remember these are the same people who took us over the cliff in Iraq because of their short sighted view of what they were reporting. I like to invite the readers to go to Real Clear Politics. com and do their own research and find out what’s really going on. If you take major battle ground states, such as Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan Sen. Clinton is doing much better against John McCain than Sen. Obama. Sen. Obama may have some delegate lead, but he’s not doing as well as the media wants you to believe. And of course DNC is full of former losers like John Kerry, Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, Bill Richardson, and many others.

From Howard Wolfson: You can declare mission accomplished but that doesn’t mean that the mission has actually been accomplished,” Wolfson said. Jimmy Carter also declared last night on Jay Leno that the votes of MI and FL should count - in 2012! Jimmy Carter was a loser as a democratic president, and he is a loser now, plus an anti-semite that meets with Hamas, and it says a great deal about the direction Obama is going in, Wright down the line with Carter, Kennedy, Dukakis, Kerry, Gore (well Gore won, but didn't fight, the wimp factor again).

Cordelia intended to say that she is a "highly educated" person. With such a poor use of the English language? I am not a highly educated person, but I am able to entify one, when I see her/him.

Ellsworth is a coward.

Hillary had a good run. She should quit the race and then help reunite the party that she claims to care so much about. All the continuing the fight stuff shows just how selfish Bill and her are.

I was a republican for 20 years and I switched to Democrat this year to vote for Hillary. I will vote for McCain if Obama is a nominee. I rather vote for Mcain than OB because I don't feel confidence in his experience and poor judgment. I am a high educated person and I understand how difficult life of the hard working people in this country. I don't like Obama looking down on the rural people by saying bitter comment. He tried to convince he came a poor single poor mom but it doesn't work for me. I see a lot of a high educated people when their life getting better they tend to forget their root. Mcain is an honest and honor man.

BO is not qualified for this most important job in the world. This is not an internship as Mitt Romney put it. BO has serious judgment problems and is too weak to stand for what he believes. His patriotism & experience is in question. BO's supporters are the rudest human being on earth with no manners and respects to others. Blacks are racists, specially those so called the black leaders. BO can't unite his supporters, how can he unite this country? This will be the first time in my adult life that I won’t be proud of this country if BO becomes the president. I respect McCain and our family will be voting for him if BO is the nominee. Plain and simple!!
