What Happened to Obama's $100 Million June?

TerryDo,

Oh, how I hope you are right... I'm not a Democrat, but having Hillary run instead of the dangerous man Obama would be a blessing for the country.

Don't you just love the way these Obama loser keep blaming Hillary R.Clinton for all of Obama's woes.

The only true thing you will be able to Clinton for is when she win the Democratic nomination come the Denver Convention.

Her name will be on the First Roll Call and she will win the nomination as she deserves..

The Flip-floppng empty suit, selected candidate will never ever win the nomination.

No one in their right mind should vote for a flip flopper like Obama, who has already shown the ease with which he could throw his grandmother, Rev. Wright, Campaign Finance Reform under the bus - not to mention, pimp out his children on national television for cheap votes. He can't even give his daughters a pet dog without conditions.
What a mean man.

As for McCain being more of the same, even the Republican's have known McCain to be an Independent at heart - if not a closet Democrat. At least he is not the Emperor-with-No-Clothes.
If Obama's son would be serving in Iraq as McCain's son is currently, I'm sure Barry would have milked it to the skies.

You just don't get it, do you? HIllary was under vicious attack not by Obama but by the corporate media. And they were using sexist attacks not because she is a woman but because she was the FRONT RUNNER for the nomination in the early days of the primaries and sexism was a convenient way to tear her down.

Ever since Obama became the Democratic front runner and now the presumptive nominee, he's been under relentless attack by the corporate media, just as John Kerry was in 2004 when the "serious" media credulously echoed the lies of the Swift Boat Veterans.

If Clinton had won the nomination, she'd be under the same withering attack, and perhaps worse because the corporate media would never let her live down her "sniper" story or Bill's dubious business deals. Their goal is not to "get" Clinton or even Obama, it's to ensure that Republicans partial to corporate special interests will continue to rule the country indefinitely.

McCain is a radical rightwinger who wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and who has opposed legislation that would have defended women's rights to equal pay for equal work. If he is elected, it will undermine everything Hillary Clinton ever fought for. McCain is no centrist and no centrist of the modern Democratic party would ever vote for him.

But if by "centrist" you mean what your screen name implies: a Democrat of the 1950s era, when segregationists were the most important voting block in the Democratic Party, I guess McCain is a centrist by that definition. Most "centrists"L of that ilk have already moved to the Republican Party since the civil rights legislation of the 60s.

manitu,

Enough with the "he's paying off Hillary's debt" excuse!

Since she suspended, Obama has only raised a paltry $100,000 towards her debt. At a joint fundraiser this week he conveniently "forgot" to even mention it! Meanwhile she raised 5 million for him.

But the good news is, his strategy to use the debt as leverage against her has backfired. And guess what? And on top of that, it made her base rally behind her, back and stronger than ever. Whoopsie!

Her supporters have nearly paid the entire thing off in two weekend drives! The debt will be retired by next week.

Bob.

Lots of talk - right from CBS NEWS. No substance, as with Obama. Hillary posters have it right, HILLARY WOULD BE A MUCH TOUGHER CANDIDATE FOR MCCAIN TO BEAT.

I believe that most American's now can agree that going to war was a huge mistake, and it's having severe direct and indirect effects on our economy, no matter what the neo-cons would have us believe. Therefore the only rational choice is to elect the person who had the intelligence to recognize this conservative war-mongering for what it is - playing fast and loose with America to enrich the oil and defense industries and appease the powerful Israel lobby here at home. McCain was still physically energetic and morally honorable in back in 2000, as he maintained his independence from the right wing wackos, as personified by the Christian right. Now however he has finally been brought low by his own Republican base, and will never be able to lead independently to serve America. He is just another tool of the right wing at this point, and their ideology has been totally and rightfully discredited in the eyes of all informed Americans.

1950 democrat.

As a cons and a McCain backer, I have been back and forth on the Obama/Hillary issue. But, you are right, Hillary definitely stronger than Obama. Either way, you are going to have to take back your party.

McCain and the GOP have several good reasons for saving their energy till after the Democratic convention Aug 25.

Part of it relates to McCain's acceptance of public financing, which has rules about when the financing period starts.

Also, the more they attack Obama now, the more help they give the HILlary groups such as hillarysupporters and turndownobama that are working for her to be nominated. The GOP certainly does not want Hillary as their opponent.

McCain is doing very well considering that almost all the news media, the entertainment media, most of academia and the big bucks are all against him. Today's Rasmussen poll: 43/43. Good show McCain.

Being a good speaker and being able to motivate are good assets for a president to have. But you have to have the background also or those other assets are meaningless. The voters seem be be coming aware.

OBAMA IS A STRONG LEADER? WHAT HAS HE LED? Oh yes, he worked with community groups in Chicago. Impressive.

The DNC has deadlines of its own for convention expense advance payments.

It was reasonable for the DNC and Pelosi to think that if they closed the contest early, so the two candidates would no longer be spending a million a day battling each other, their donors would be free to donate to the DNC instead -- or Obama would fund the convention himself.

However that doesn't seem to be working out for the DNC. Now that Obama is having a test drive of the nomination, he doesn't seem to be helping them much. He's raising convention expenses by wanting a stadium with color coded organic hotdogs and popcorn and arugula. :-) Some of his own delegates are grumbling about being lost in a shuffle in the stadium. Some DNC people didn't like being told to move to Chicago or lose their jobs. He's not even doing very well in the polls. And 9 million Hillary supporters refuse to vote for him in November, and are doing grassroots internet organizing against him and for McCain, such as hillarysupporters.

So at this point it would be reasonble for some of the superdelegates who switched away from Hillary in June, to switch back to her on August 25, when the real vote happens.

"All that money and only 6 points ahead of McCain. Ouch!"

Actually Rasmussen shows it is tied.

Common Sense.........Really? Hillary Clinton scared you........BOO

Is it because some of his supporters are flip flopping on Obama?You know what they say,if you hang around someone you will start acting like them.flip flop flip flop

Overinflated projections to match Obama's overinflated ego.

All that money and only 6 points ahead of McCain. Ouch!

Just proves that all Americans can't be bought.

um er If you look at my statement you would have read that I said a 100 million dollar June was possible, um er taking it out of context is um er a political you know.
