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.
