Well said Bill Clinton! We need to focus on the issues that matter to all Americans. When Hillary Clinton locks up the nomination at the convention, we can have a real election.

Since when is a female candidacy not historic?

She is done. She can't win.

It is over!

Barack is the nominee!

Get used to it!

He has made statements to both being potentially historic. Perhaps the reporter here thought it was not relevant? (sic)

She can win. Both candidates need the support of the superdelegates to push them over the 2,025 threshold. Since Bill Richardson reinforced the fact that supers can vote their independent judgment, no one should be upset when they vote overwhelmingly for Clinton.

Clinton will be the nominee--this race has become about electability and Obama just saw that slip away. The party elders know how the GE will play out and can't risk losing the White House again.

Get used to that.

Barack Obama shares a commonality with our previous presidents: white male.

I fail to see how a woman president is any less historic, if anything, it is far more historic. The United States is behind the curve on this...many other countries have/had female leaders. What is the country afraid of?

I shouldn't be surprised. Sexism runs rampant in corporate America and it would be naive to think that gender could possibly transcend this election.

"The other stuff" is Obama's trademark. He personifies the other stuff--racially specious and divisive blather that shifts our attention from more salient matters.

Hillary 08

An hour late, speaking to veterans, stopping for a burgar. Historic? Really showing his respect I am sure.

By "all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics" was he referring to his affair with Monica Lewinsky, and his subsequent lies about it to a Grand Jury? Just askin', because the thought of having this sack of trash back in the West Wing seems like it sure would undermine Hillary's electability.

I find it very telling that NC polls show a statistical tie between Obama and Clinton now. Obama had previously been projected strong in NC because of the black voting bloc there. I think more emphasis should be placed on NC's tendency to support candidates with strong military backing. Perhaps that has more impact in NC. With Murtha's endorsement after so many flag officers stood behind Senator Clinton, it does not surprise me actually.

"Clinton made no mention of ... Richardson's endorsement of Obama".

Why the hell WOULD he mention it? Since when do the candidates or their surrogates go around rattling their opponents' endorsements?

Biggdawg -- So true! Common sense really. Duh. Must be a slow news day.

Bill Clinton is historically late for events. While I dont know the reason why, I can see the possibility that security measures would be taken to ensure his safety. For all we know, the delays are intentional for that reason. The military community as well as the Dc community is used to this and I dont see it as a sign of disrespect.

oh LOM here is more fun... Forbes has a new delegate calculator to play with LOL I wonder what they base it on.

Well, it was a garden burger -- can't have any of his favorite Big Macs because it might appear he's favoring their "close Friend," John "Bush3" McCain!!!

Hillary can win ONLY by stealing the election! We will have a democratic candidate who loves America and cares about the issues -- Barack Obama.

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

Obama doesnt have any resort but to turn negative now. On the stump, he looks like he has been hit with a 5 yr jail sentence.....Camera dont lie

Well, if Barack wins because enough superdelegates voted for him, then I guess he will have stolen it too base on your logic.

Hillary is such a strong candidate. If Obama were not a "bargainer" (steele) people will be able to find out what they are getting with Obama. It is rather awful to see Dean goof up on the MI and FL votes. She would have won hands down. Obama does not even come close to her strengths in tenacity, knowledge, hard work.

Yep, he's gone negative. There goes his credibility. He's just like all of the other politicians.

Well someone has to stick to the message, Hillary just doesn't know what it is.

Clinton is a ROCK. When we follow campaigns, we the voters get to see who can handle the heat. Clinton has had the book thrown at her for 29 years by the RNC. I am not surprised at all that she is able to handle this campaign. Last night I thought about what a debate between Clinton and McCain would be like. LOL She would win easily. Then I thought about what a debate between Obama and McCain would be like... I knew what McCain would say because he is an open book. But I couldnt figure out what Obama would say since he would not have Clinton to say it all for him.

Thinking

No one knows what Obama's "message" is.....We dont blame Hillary for not knowing either!!!!!!

If Obama wins, it will be because he sabatoged the MI and FL voters. This along with the other trash he carries as baggage, he will never win GE. Atleast I feel secure knowing that our military will never have to salute this man. We will have Mcain and no one can ever say that McCain attended a church that preached hate for 20+years.

Unfortunately for Obama, he's not very good at being negative. He looks rather goofy doing it (it must be a huge internal struggle doing what he said he wouldn't do). That's why his surro-goats like Axelrod and Burton are out there doing his dirty work.

I think the MI and FL delegates are going to be seated by order of the court and that the delegates are going to be allowed to cast votes. This will be decided at the convention no matter what. We need to let the system work as designed in spite of the DNC.

We should ask Obama why he did not propose a bill to stop Anti-American propaganda in his Church....

She can win. Both candidates need the support of the superdelegates to push them over the 2,025 threshold. Since Bill Richardson reinforced the fact that supers can vote their independent judgment, no one should be upset when they vote overwhelmingly for Clinton.

Clinton will be the nominee--this race has become about electability and Obama just saw that slip away. The party elders know how the GE will play out and can't risk losing the White House again.

Get used to that.

Thanks LOM. I'm really frustrated with the way things are playing out specially in regard to MI and FL and reading comments like yours make me feel a tad better and still remain hopeful.

If MI and FL delegates are seated as is, Obama campaign will go into grand mal seizure and recruit Rove.

Obama has been going negative for quite a while now. He put down the prosperous Clinton years just so he could level the playing field. I could never support him for doing that. Then all the dirt comes out. The holier than thou Obama is actually a dirty politician -- who preaches change while he was actually spending his time listening to sermons from the 60's. I cannot see any good in him. He is just another politician who wants the top job with very little on is resume. He knows how to hoodwink people with the rhetoric that he has learned from Jeremiah Wright.

MattOhio,

Well if you don't know what it is why vote for her?

I read about how bad things are in OH. but I have heard about the sore state of affairs in the rustbelt since the steal industry took a dive. Yet you still support the same old politics. Your Gov. supports Hillary, why? What has she done for OH.? Infact what has your Gov. done for OH.?

Don't you think that after some 50 years of deppression in the rustbelt it is time to look for aomething new?

Come on just shake it up a little.

Thinking

What did Obama do for Wyoming, Wisconsin, Mississippi.....before the primaries? Why did they have to vote for him withouth any results?

OH supported Hillary because of Strickland who has helped a lot of Industrial towns in OH.

All three candidates in the fray are new.....they havent been president before.....I believe your argument is not sticking

No, not all three are new. Only Obama is new, McCain amd Clinton in one fashion or the other have been around for years. Both have a lot of baggage and paybacks to account for.
Politics are like boardrooms. The CEO of one company is on the board of another CEO, so if the they fail or not they still get the the big bucks.
Your not really given a choice. Hillary is just the same old politician as Bush, She will do or say anything and call in all the favors she can. Sure would like to see her earmarks.

Well, WCM and DC Voter:

If the polls DC Voter cites hold true, it would not indicate the blow-out you are yearning so desperately to see!

Not that I place any faith in those polls, with more than a month to go before the PA primary.

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

MattOhio - I always want to see what the RNC is up to so I actually watched an interview with Rove on the news the other night. I was shocked he did not say anything negative about Clinton. He did analyze the race for the democratic nominee and emphasized the troubles the DNC is now facing (making them look bad to the voters).

Let's not forget Rove penned advice for Obama in his column on how to beat Clinton before any of the voting started. After Friday, he stated in an interview on Fox that Obama needs to come clean and not try to explain away his association with Wright who has very questionable ties that are dangerous to the country. Obama fell into the trap and tried to explain away Wright and the dems are divided even more although it looks like Clinton is gaining ground which Rove did not want.

So the RNC is doing exactly what people are seeing. They move up the dates for the dem primaries using other bills as an excuse in FL and MI. The DNC had no power to stop them but they did have the power to not impose punishment. The RNC knew about Wright for some time and included it in their press release from opposition research last year. They admitted running against Clinton would be tough. So they propped up Obama and continue to fuel the fight between the candidates, and they slam the DNC in preparation for the race in Nov. Their only shot, with the low ratings the Reps and Bush have in the country (backed up by voter registration data of more dems and less reps), is to divide the dem voters so that part of them will vote for a republican in Nov. Hopefully, the courts will stop the RNC train and seat the delegates.

BOYCOTT THE DNC UNTIL THE DELEGATES ARE SEATED!!!!!!!

Thinking

So you are saying Hillary is a politician from a long time. Obama doesnt say that. Believe you should compare notes with him.

Both Clinton and Obama have skeletons in their closet (as does McCain). My vote is based on the strengths of the candidate - not the weaknesses. Clinton is the much stronger candidate and much more likely to win over McCain in the GE. Obama will be crushed by the Republicans in the GE if he makes it. The Republicans, no doubt, have amassed a very large pile of dirt on Obama if he gets the nomination. Therefore my vote goes to Clinton.

MattOhio,

Hillary herself talks about her 35 years on the stage. She Talks of the Co-Presidentcey

Jack - I dont place much faith in inidividual polls but I do watch combined trends which tend to be accurate. Currently, the combined trends clearly show Obama losing support in states he has won and states still yet to vote. Projections for Clinton are increasing daily.

The probabilities have changed and his nomination is not longer probable. The reality we all face is in knowing this will be decided at the convention unless one of the other candidates withdraws - which would be improbable. Clinton believes all votes should count while Obama apparently does not based on his actions.

CALL FOR DEAN"S RESIGNATION!!!!!!!!!!

DCVoter,
I respect your point of view, but I think it’s much more likely that the Clintons, if they fail to get the nomination, would undermine an Obama run for the presidency for a chance to run again in 2012, than the other way around.

I agree with maggie... Clinton is the stronger candidate even without the First Lady years (which have been validated as significant foreign policy experience by the experts anyway). This is why I have supported Clinton all along. I used to advocate a joint ticket with Obama as VP until I started putting all the details together. There are no red flags with Clinton or McCain regarding patriotism or direct association with dangerous people as there are for Obama. His lack of good judgment and credibility, combined with his obvious resentment towards white people and his church's black separatist views he has listened to for 20 years makes it clear. I will never support Obama for any office. If Clinton gets the nom, then at least no matter who wins the election in Nov we have a chance for a cooperative Congress to actually see changes for the better. A dem Congress will keep McCain in check.

When it is all said and done American voters will decide if they want to stay in the war with McCain, elect a President that will take his own daughters to see the now famous Rev. Wright to govern the welfare of our children, or choose the ever practical Clinton.
What did Bill do with his time since he left the White House? And Hillary?
I don't know,,,go vote!
P.S. Have your ever seen so many people that have run for President, AND LOST, rally around an inexperienced politician? We will have the most surrogate Presidents in American history and the spiritual advisor to the President will be????

Don - Clinton made a statement the other day regarding Obama. She specifically said "if he wins the nomination, I expect my supporters to vote for him." I am her supporter but I will not vote for Obama and there are some experts who have projected numbers that agree with me. We are Americans first and party loyalists second. As an Independent, I am happy I have not supported the DNC as an organization. I would like to see a new party of moderates emerge... comprised of moderate dems, moderate republicans, and moderate independents. Considering that is the majority of Americans, a moderate party would be the major party.

First off, McCain is not Bush.

Second, Obama is receiving special treatment because of his race.

If a white man belonged to a RACIST ANTI-AMERICAN church...he would have t answer for it. He wouldn't have everyone making excuses for him.

If Pelosi thinks she can hold and grow seats with Obama at the head of the party, good luck. Our Representatives are also super-delegates. We'll make it known that our Representatives believe in Obama's racist ideas with powerful television ads showing Obama's church and Wright's sermons. Those ads will move votes like no other.

527's LETS BEGIN!

For the second time in two months Illinois Senator Barack Obama has returned hefty contributions made by young children, including a toddler in diapers who donated $2,300 to his 2008 presidential campaign.

Obama returned the money after the media exposed the child contributors, which include 7 and 8-year-olds cutting checks for thousands of dollars as well as thousands more from preteens and teenagers with wealthy relatives who happen to support the Democrat Illinois senator.

The toddler who recently made the $2,300 donation happens to be the niece of a wealthy Chicago financier (Elrick Williams) who donated the maximum allowed under federal law to Obama's campaign. So he got his 2-year-old niece as well as four other children - ages 9 to 13--in the family to cut checks.

Years away from qualifying to vote, most of the youngsters donating to political campaigns don't have jobs although generous teenaged siblings in Massachusetts were able to account for their money. Their mother supports former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a Republican presidential hopeful, and she says her 13 and 15-year-old kids earned the $2,300 they each donated to Romney dog sitting and baby sitting. No word from mom if the kids filed tax returns.

Other presidential candidates who have accepted donations from young children include New Mexico's Democratic Governor, Bill Richardson, who took thousands from a 10 and 16 year old whose wealthy mother said the entire family supports Richardson.

Since the Federal Election Commission doesn't require donors to provide their age, it is unclear how many children have donated to politicians although contributions from students have quadrupled this year. In Obama's case, however, they're still in diapers and not even old enough to be students.

BARACK OBAMA:A NOVICE SENATOR from the State of Illinois delivered the speech on race, primarily to rationalize his failings of associating with Rev Wright for 20 years and the pastor's racist, anti-white, and anti-government rabid sermons that shocked the foundation of his campaign.

While delivering his speech, he was flanked by flags of America which he failed to show commonly adopted show of respect in the singing of natyional anthem and pledge of allegiance. One can hardly imagine that all our top
military generals in various services will give salute to this man as commander in chief.It will be a travesty
to our long cherished traditions. I see danger coming. I am not being an alarmist, but he himself opened up the floodgates of anger brewing in the mountain top.

His speech of eloquience in delivery which he knows pretty well, failed, as he purposely did so, to mention the
continuing progress of our society's landmark initiatives to further heal the racial divide since the 1960's with the Civil Rights Revolution as exemplified by the defiance of Rosa Park.

Senator Obama, as a counterbalance to the raging stoms that willcollapse his campaign, used trhe race card in a different dimensions used by leaders and patriots all over the world. That is exploiting their perssonal experiences as victims and exploit this as a domestic and national issue. Hence, he elevated race in the fore front in the campaign of the dqy while the stock market is tumbling down and major corporations are announcing lay offs of thousands of workers.

This is a very dangerous man.
MY FELLOW AMERCIANS, CAVEAT EMPTOR

Who is this Bill Richardson Fellow anyway?

Bill may not have mentioned the guy, because he hasn't heard of him.

MattOhio - On electability, this as well-known by the RNC per an interview with Karl Rove last year on Rush's show. They have always planned to use it against Obama... that is why they propped him up because he is not electable. If democratic voters and SDs want a chance to beat the RNC, they will back Clinton's nomination.

CG - I disagree with your assertions.

I think you are seeing similar talking points because people are Americans first and party loyalists second. Obama is a truly polarizing figure in this race. The majority of Americans are moderates, 44% are independent and therefore not loyal to any party.

I can easily discern differences between posters. You for example support McCain and are obviously having fun stirring the pot. Thats ok its a free country. I would prefer actual debate of the issues.

As far as Rush taking credit or you giving him credit, the experts have already debunked that theory. 9% of the voters in TX were crossover republicans and most of them voted for Obama. The number of popular votes in the primaries is greater than the ones who did vote for Clinton.

It doesn't matter.

OBAMA can STEAL this nomination. He has made SURE that no re-votes in MI and FL are taking place via his supporters in those state's governments.

HOWEVER, HILLARY supporters will prevent OBAMA from winning in NOVEMBER!

One good turn deserves another!

Thanks John - While I understand and the human side of this race for the nomination, I tend to look at broader pictures with facts and I like to share them to help others. Some call it spin but I dont think facts can be spun. Opinions on the other hand are something we all have and thats a good thing. In our country we can express opinions under the right of free speech with the exception of laws associated with libel, slander, and sedition. We can be enthusiastic about our candidates and our country without personally attacking others.

CG - OK but I dont go to sites like that. It really doesnt make much sense to me... partisan sites have partisan audiences. Blogs on major news sites I think are ready by just about anyone.

With Hillary mathematically eliminated in the delegate count, and absent a Macaca moment or a shenanigan at the Convention, this race is over.

One thing that keeps coming back to me when thinking about the Hillary campaign is the Kubler-Ross Model of the Five Stages of Grief in response to a tragic situation, i.e.: the death throws of the Clinton campaign.

The stages are in this order:

Denial - Hillary can't lose.
Anger - Shame on you Barack Obama!
Bargaining - If we can just win landslides from here on out....
Depression - We dooooomed. McCain will win.
Acceptance - oh well there's 2012.

It's getting closer to stage 5 with every day.

Another nail.

NYT reports tonight that the Clinton Campaign is currently in the red.

Also Bill/Hill's $5M loan to the campaign has not been repaid yet. For good reason I presume.

Back to Kazakhstan to refill the coffers.

CG - I dont think campaign debt is a nail in a coffin LOL who is spinning?

Sounded more like he was stumping for McCain.

Perhaps, McCain is paying him to make speeches.

Obama supports a man who spews to his congregation, " God Damn America," and does nothing about it. If someone were to say that in the presence of Hillary Clinton, do you really think she would just sit there and then throw her grandma under a bus to defend it? I think not. Good for you Bill.

Voter,

Totally agree:

Obama has been going negative for quite a while now. He put down the prosperous Clinton years just so he could level the playing field. I could never support him for doing that. Then all the dirt comes out. The holier than thou Obama is actually a dirty politician -- who preaches change while he was actually spending his time listening to sermons from the 60's. I cannot see any good in him. He is just another politician who wants the top job with very little on is resume. He knows how to hoodwink people with the rhetoric that he has learned from Jeremiah Wright.

The new slogan should be: NO WE WON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA!

BKMC.

As far as Hillary's military experience, you're right. She has never served. She has been apart of subcommitee's tho who have overseen military involvement in foreign affairs. Obama has had the chance, but has not even held a meeting. Obama is apart of a military subcommitee in Aphganistan, and he's done nothing.

I'm sorry, but your whole arguement of McCain being more qualified because he was a PoW is worthless. If anything, it makes me think he would be more bias'd.

I will however vote for McCain over Obama. Obama does not have the moral judgement needed, nor does he have the experience to keep his promises of change in a nation fighting 2 wars, immigration issues, and a recession.

I see Bill's not planting 911 truthers at this events anymore. Thank GOD cause that was getting old pretty fast. It's nice to see that Bill's trying to behave and not harm her campaign anymore than he already has to. She doesn't need any help. Her supporters will do that for her. And after they destroy her campaign they'll vote for McCain, because they're just such strong Democrats, you see. Not just wolf in sheeps clothing, war-hawk Republicans!!! That can't be it, can it??? Hilliary's the Republican, McCain is the Democrat, and Obama for all practical purposes is an independent compared to these two. No wonder the Democrat in name only's are after Obama so much. After triangulating and shifting away from their principles for so long, they can't recognize a real Democrat when they see one. The Republican party is dead and buried, but is the Democratic party dead as well? Aren't they just one big party of elitist, insiders with no plan for improving the financial and social institutions anymore? What are they running for? Just to sit at the throne with everything collapses around them? Is this worth all that? I think not.

OBAMA to allot 50% of positions in colleges and jobs to his only section of people who are deprived of all opportunities.. Yes, you guessed it right “The Blacks”.

Good Luck all. You will soon have people in the senate shouting and behaving like Obama's pastor and his followers.

I do not WrightGate should be an issue in this campgain. It was an event with which Obama had a connection and was questioned. What came of it was that Obama is a LIAR and a HYPOCRITE. When first asked about incendiary sermons he denied any knowledge of them. In his now famous speech he admitted he knew some of them. Talk show host Imus made some racist comments about black female atheletes. Obama was the first to ask for his firing yet he kept Rev. Wright on his campaign. He removed him from his campaign only a few days ago.

When you put a good apple with a rotten apple in the same bag, good apple also rots. You are what company you keep.

Clintos are winners!When Bill Clinton left office, US had a flourshing economy, with nearly 500 billion surplus! Our country was popular and respected around the world. We had good jobs, education, peace and prosperity. All that was ruined by guess who? Now the Washington media establishment who brought us desaster and ruin, I mean George Bush and Iraq war, is also cheering for Sen. Barak Obama. Please watch out! We need Hillary and Bill more than ever! For the sake of our country,Hillary Clinton 08!

DCV, WestcoastM, MattOhio,

We will be happy to elect you guys as Hillary's representatives on this blogger.

God bless Hillary and her campaign.

Gorgon,

Who said Hillary is loosing Latino voters in CA, TX ,NY, FL?
Bill R endorsed Obama but it doesn't mean all Latino will vote for Obama.
Yesterday they were in Oregon while Bill spoke in Spanish but I hardly seen any Latino attended the rally.

Satish,

Good phrase.

I wouldn't mention him either. We could say he voted against his fellow Hispanics and as a SuperDelegate he voted against New Mexico's wishes too. Super delegates can vote Hillary Clinton regardless of how their constituents voted. I just wonder what kind of favors are required to get Mr Richardson's Vote.

Michelle loves her country for the first time, Tony's scandal in Chicago, God damn America, Typical white person.....My fellow white Americans, do you see an unsettling trend being developed right in front of our own eyes??? I never condoned racism/bigotry
toward minorities, but WE must unite to protect ourselves against those who
hold anger and hatred toward us. If 90% of them could support Obama, why couldn't whites rally around Clinton. We don't owe them anything or should we feel guilty for what we never did. Blacks can say racist remarks and get away with them and when we remotely hint something racially insensitive, we get severly reprimanded. Why is there a double standard when it comes to race relations??? I want my children to enjoy peace and prosperity on this land we call America. Do us whites truly believe that a racist bigot Obama would ever allow that to happen???

Obama can't win in the upcoming primaries. His support has tanked. Richardson is like a stalking horse sent out by the wimpy DNC to see if he can turn things around for their guy Obama. They couldn't find someone of real stature because those leaders recognize that the tide is or has turned. Richardson, like the happy idiot, doesn't realize he is being played like a fool - at least until he has a chance to read all these posts. The Obama faction that has hijacked the DNC doesn't want their boy Obama (political term here everybody - don't get all upset about it being racial) LIMPING INTO DENVER with a string of losses.

Clinton's comment is so provocative. If Obama was white he would have never said only two people are loyal to this country and forget the other stuff (Obama). I hope the voters don't forget what an adulterous idiot you made of yourself in office! You are the international disgrace to America.

I feel that Mass. voters should demand that John Kerry and Ted Kennedy vote for Hillary. She carried the state and have been reading that people think the super delegates should vote according to how their state voted. I don't understand how these two knot heads were ever elected anyway. They say democracy but don't practice it.

Please don't forget prior to the end of the Clinton's administration a recession was forcast and George Bush stepped into it.

Uretha: Whats wrong with McCain being in office. He is a good American. I don't agree with him on everything, but rather have him than Hussain Obama. He does love America and does not have as much baggage as Obama. I will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee, but if not my vote along with millions of other democrats will vote for McCain.

Why Hillary is the best nominee well lets see a) will be the best president – the best commander-in-chief, steward of the economy, and exercise leadership; b) defeat John McCain; and c) promote and defend core Democratic principles such as universal health care. On all three fronts, Hillary is the best choice for the Democratic Party.

As for Obama, he's barely into his thrid year as a Senator. He hasn't authored any substantive legislation. Prior to his his limited Senatorial experience, he was nothing more than a local state politician. I'm sorry. This is the big leagues. Obama is nowhere ready to lead the U.S. If he is elected, he will be the most ill-prepared president since Carter, and he'll most likely be a one termer. The only reason Obama is where he is now is due to white guilt within the liberal mainstream media. Hell, the mainstream media is practically in bed with the Obama communications staff. ABC, NBC and CNN so, so, so want him to be president that in so desiring this, they've lost all objectivity and credibility. Personally, I can't see how a respected website like this one here is actually jumping on the "root for Obama" bandwagon.

If the Democrats are concerned about electability in the upcoming general election, then they truly need to take another hard look at Obama. The Rev. Wright scandal will come back with a vengence in the fall. Sure, McCain will stay above the fray, but Obama will be swift-boated by ultra-conservative 527s. Obama's (and the DNC's) obstinence over the Michigan and Florida delegate situation will resuly in most assuredly delivering Florida to McCain and probably Michigan as well. Obama won't win a single Southern state; therefore, his appeal to black voters will be in vain. He isn't going to win any of those small states he won in the primary season. In the end, it will come down to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnsesota. McCain's strength with independents in those states will put him over the top. Now if Hillary is the nominee, she instantly puts Florida back into play due to the sympathy some will have towards her. Also, she'd due well in union territory in Michigan. I think she makes the race tighter.

Obama's campaign looks like a trainwreck waiting to happen. His un-American activities look worse and worse. He is strong in a lot of red states a Democrat can't carry in November. He is ahead only because of the "corrupt bargain" between him and Howard Dean that disenfranchised Florida and Michigan, and it would be virtually impossible for him to win those states now. Sen. Clinton offers a clear choice against McCain, not only on the war, but on the economy and health care. She has a big lead in Michigan, and has closed the gap in North Carolina. Much of Obama's independant support will dry up and votte McCain in the fall. Many of them would vote for Sen. Clinton out of economic necessity. If the superdelegates do their jobs and vote the party interest- that means our most electable candidate- they will vote for Clinton. It seems political suicide to exclude Michigan and Florida from the nominating process. Surely in the wake of Obama' s latest scandal- his longstanding, close relationship to a racist demagogue pastor, it is evident that Sen. Clitnton is our only eclectable Democrat. Senator Clinton does best in matchups against McCain in big states that a Democrat must carry to win the White House. It seems only intuitive that so many are whining and begging for her to drop out and hand the nomination to Obama (which to my knowledge has never happened in American politics) points to her electability. After all, if Obama is so strong, then why should he have to beg Sen. Clinton to drop out.through surrogates? Either Sen. Clinton is the nominee, or the party loses the White House. Agiain! Isn't that the point behind this ridiculaous argument-so that McCAin can beat Obama in the fall?

There was NO meeting with Canada that took place.
correction: Yes there was a back door assurance meeting with Canada on NAFTA

He only worked 5 legal hours for Tony Rezko.
correction: I was not forthcoming about my relationship with him it went beyond what I said.

He never met Mr. Auchi the British Iraq billionaire who donated millions of dollars to me days before I bought my 1.65 mansion.
correction: He met him in a hotel in Chicago.

He never heard Rev. Wright ever speak hate or racial slurs.
correction: Yes there were times he heard them.

He said his white Grandmother feared passing black men on the street and he cringed at her sterotyped racial slurs.
correction: She is a typical white person who reacted to a stranger on the street.

He only got a few thousand dollars from Tony Rezko
correction: He got more than $200,000 from him.

He never knew Tony Rezko's wife was purchasing the lot next to his mansion.
correction: Tony Rezko went with Obama to look at the property and his wife and he purchased the house and lot on the same day.

He has a plan to withdraw the troops from Iraq.
correction: his foreign advisor Powers on his campaign stated to the BBC he has NO plan to withdraw.

He has a universal health care plan.
correction: He knows there will be some who will not be included and may game the system.

He said during the Cleveland debate he did not believe Hilary had anything to do with the picture of him in his African attire that was released on the intenet.
correction:His campaign accused her of it.

Need I go on and on because there is more.
Words Matter as he stated and I will hold him on his words and I will NOT give him my vote or my trust.
I wonder why Mr. Obama is against a re-vote? Mainly I believe, that it would cut his lead in the overall vote to only 100,000 votes, or less, now that the Country knows more about him. ( Mr. Obama, how can you claim to be the "UNITER of this Country, if you do not count the voters of two States?)
I am aware of this Country being called the "United States of America" NOT the "United States of America, minus two" Mr. Obama, if you are a man of your word, then allow the re-votes to go unhindered, , And if you the Voters agree: Call, write to up-hold the Constitutuon of the United States of America.
