Wait...wait for it.....there it is! Her campagine manager has scooted...she is sneaking to John Edwards and refusing to mention the lost states...sounds like an angry 5 year old for one thing but most of all...it sounds like DEFEAT. As far as respecting her? I will give her my respect when she starts respecting herself. NO ONE would stay with someone who has embarressed them time and time and time again with other woman unless she was using Bill to get here...she deserves no respect.

Daniel says where we when she won Florida and Michigan....states he did not even vist LOL or have his name on the ballot....she did by the way...LOL try harder Daniel! and try to come up with something that does not insult the intelligence of the readers...Oh wait...the uneducated are voting for Clinton...sorry I expected too much from you!

Hillary doesn't want to make big rhetorical flourishes? That's rich.

Hillary Clinton couldn't get a task-specific cushion "all whooped up."

"Obama was a State Senator for 6 years and in the US Senate for 2. That's 8...the same number of years Clinton has been in the US Senate. How does that translate as Obama having more experience?"

Actually, it is less than 8 years - 2 year spent running for state Senate twice, 1 year spend running for state Represenative (which he lost), 1 year running for US Senate and 1 year running for President. So it is 3 years experience in public office and 5 years running for the next higher office.

"Clinton indirectly criticized her opponent, saying 'people say to me all of the time you are so specific, you talk about all of these things you want to do. Why don’t you really just come and give us one of these great rhetorical flourishes and then get everybody all whooped up?'"

Because she's not capable of that. Obama is. I believe that will help make him a more marketable candidate in the general election and a more effective president.

Please People....Are you true Democrats or not? Why would you say you would vote for McCain over Obama, if he got the nomination? So basically you are saying that you would rather stay in this war for 100 years or more than vote for Obama? What? I will support either Democratic nominee...they are both very qualified.. I am a TRUE Democrat!!!! Ask yourself why you dislike Obama more than the WAR??? There is such a BIG difference between the Republican ideals and the Democratic. But there is not much difference between Obama and Clinton. Again...ask yourself...why?

Any state she loses doesn't matter, and any state she wins is a huge victory against incredible challenges - and this from the inevitable candidate with a 20-plus point lead in national polls just a couple months ago.

To those of you petulantly and childishly "threatening" to "take your ball and go home" (i.e. vote for McCain, who will destroy everything for which you supposedly "stand") if you don't get the nominee you *demand,* I say: Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

zjemi - she says 'we' more now, because someone in her campaign figured out how much her strongly emphasized vocalization of 'I' was coming across in her speeches.

Somewhere around the same time, she started inserting a line about how this campaign wasn't about her, but about all of us, and our childrens' futures, etc.

GW, Mark - remember how unrepresentative these blogs are of party members at large. The question has been polled, and similar percentages of both Obama and Clinton supporters would be 'satisfied' with the other candidate as nominee, and probably a good chunk of the unsatisfied would hold their noses and vote for the Democratic nominee.

These boards just accentuate the drama, particularly for a campaign like Clinton's, in which we're seeing drama for drama's sake.

Right you are, Paul. Thanks for the reminders.

She's looking ahead to TX and OH like Giuliani looked forward to Florida. I hope they put her campaign down for the count.

Florida and Michigan were stripped of their delegates by the DNC, in agreement with all candidates running in the Democratic party. Those rules can not, and will not be changed in order to give Clinton a delegate lead after being agreed upon.

All this desperation shows Hillary knows she cannot win based off the results of the primary and that she needs to broker deals with superdelegates in order to win. Sad, but true. Haha, John Edwards got an offer for VP today for his 26 delegates. Hows that for desperation....I'll trade ya a VP nom for only 26 delegates even though I promised it to the guy that ran my failed Iowa campaign.

I stopped reading after this "Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-Ill." Please do not associate her with the state of Illinois. We would never elect her to a Senate seat.

Oh, lol Adam, I missed that.

What abunch of whinners,Fla. and Mich. knew the penalty for moving up thier primarys did any of you whiners protest this, demostrate against this of course you didn't,no delegates will seated, now seeing Clinton and her supporters are on the loosing end they now want the rules changed or perhaps they will take thier toys and go home,good riddance.

I hope this article is updated soon so it doesn't say "Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-Ill." in the first paragraph. I'm from Illinois, and it's just cruel to associate her with this fine state. Cheers.

situation; deny any responsibility; and refocus away from the issues that, just a week ago, were supposedly, uppermost in her mind. Does this sound like the same Hilary we saw during Bill's presidency: ignore, deny, and refocus. Above all, remain silent on issues the country is begging to resolve.

I would not and will not vote for her in November if she's the nominee. I just won't do it.

All those clintion supporters are going to be surprised when she looses in the general election.

I and all of my friends are life long Democrats who voted for Clinton. and now we are tired 8 years was plenty time to move on.

If hillary gets the nomination, we are ALL voting for McCain--Period.

I have voted for a Republican, and will do it again .

Obama's arrogant. He should be in Hollywood, not the White House.

After dinners with Oprah, lunches with celebrities, touring the talk shows, securing book deals, holding fundraisers to get even more money for himself and avoiding any work responsibilites like he did in Illinois, when will he EVER find the time to LEAD A NATION?

It's time for change alright. Time for Obama to step aside and let Clinton get the job done!

"Druggstohr" mentioned that Obama downplayed super-tuesday?

That's just not true, he actually tried to bring attetion to it because he came out with more delegates on super tuesday, thus, OBAMA WON super tuesday.Plain and simple.

And "John D" said: As a Democrat, you can't lose in CA, NY, NJ, MA, OH, and PA and expect to win in Nov. The only state obama won that will matter in Nov is his home State of Illinois.

I do not know who the Dem nominee will be, but judging by the states obama has lost, he is doomed in Nov.

Well, John, this is a moot argument because those states will be blue states anyway in the general, no matter who the democrat is. The real statement is Obama's huge margins of victor in red states!

Thirdly, "Joseph" states that race is why Obama is winning all these states this weekend? Well, I'm interested, Joseph, to understand how that happened in WA and NE when there is mostly white people in both of those states?? Louisiana is the only state with significant black population.
