Hillary is everything Obama is against. If he gives her VP (which I doubt), I will also not vote for him. I cannot picture this woman doing us or him any favors. She will make him look bad so she can run and win in 4 years. I can just see it now. He will be to busy fixing her crap to get the job done for us.

I love these postings and wish the good folks of the DNC could read them all. Unfortunately, the media have been focusing on McCain and Obama as if this thing is over and it's insulting. Hillary is still campaigning and will hopefully win more than the projectedd Puerto Rico. I would hope the good people of Montana and S Dakota have been tuning in and vote accordingly. Are they considered the same kind of small town people who cling to their guns and religion or are they hippy dippy dope smokin radicals...I don't know.

hillary as an independant

LOL

this is proof that her supporters are nuts

mccain wins if she does that

Clinton can deny anything she wants in public, but she is preparing to exit. Her campaign team has gone dead silent. They do not appear to be working on much of anything. Clinton knows it's over and now she's trying to figure out a way of getting on the ticket as VP. No one is supporting Clinton anymore, except a few Clinot-era supergelegates and some over-the-top feminist groups, who are boiling mad that Clinton (read: a woman) has lost and now want to blame it on "sexism." This is, of course a ludicrous claim. Clinto lost because she made one strategic and tactical blunder after the other and becaus her hubris convinced her that she was the shoe-in nominee.

Man, oh, man……I really wanted to write to my local guy, Waxman, about going for Obama.

I did write him. I told him he was a sell out. And I would go protest in front of his office, but it would take too much gas to get there, and I have to get home by 2 to pick up the kid. LOL!

But, I wrote him anyway.

The AP says BHO is 57 delegates away from Clinching the Nomination.

Just saying.

Hillary otoh needs to win over 90% of the remaining delegates to clinch.

of course that is if all of hillarys people continue to stay with her mccain wins...

otherwise, pretty sure obama could pull it off

Hillary is toast - and those of you who perpetuate all this garbage about her winning the popular vote are on bad weed. So what? The popular vote was not an issue in caucus states - you may not like it but that is the way the rules are for the DNC. Maybe it can change next time but not this election. Give it up! Hillary's own people said that it's about the delegates (of course they said that right after being blown out in Iowa). Hillary said that Florida and Michigan shouldn't count (of course that was before she was demolished in 11 straight primaries).

You're all a bunch of sorry whiners.

At the end of the day, if Hillary goes Indie, you give the whitehouse back to the arses that are in it now - because that's what you're going to get with McCain.

Well, I would be offended with Hillary as the VP. She should be top of the ticket and not take second to an extremely unqualified man. I don’t think Obarfbag wants her and she should care less becuase he is such a joke.

Hillary as VP has one and only one advanantage. She would save the Democratic party.

Really, if she would go for the VP, it would be a sheer sacrifice for her lifelong devotion to our party.

She would save the Democratic party from disintegrating.

He’s insane to think otherwise.

NONE of us wants to see her as VP. She’s so heads above him, it will make us grate our teeth at night.

However, I do understand the principle.

She will save the Democratic party from splintering beyond repair.

Now, I have watched him on the FL/MI deal.

I don’t think he gives a damn.

I think he’ll splinter the party.

and here’s why.

To lose as the first AA guy, he’s picturing all those “victim” interpretations.

He’d rather lose than win.

He has no real interest in people. He isn’t driven by passion for people.

He’s drive by his OWN passion……to be the first AA guy.

He’d rather lose than win if it requres any real compromise or work.

We’ve all gotten that message by now.

He’s a crappy, crappy politician who wouldn’t compromise for the good of the country, nevemind the party.

He’ll destroy the Democrats rather than compromise. I’m sure about that.

But I never thought he was really a Dem. He’s run a 3rd party campaign all along.

He just robbed the logo.

s.b.: OMG, why do you people not get it. FL and MI can not be counted, they broke the rules.

EVERYONE SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO THIS. INCLUDING HILLARY!

So what all the Hillary people are saying to me is that you are no better than her, you will cheat and steal to get your way???

I would not want to be you, your friend, or your boss.

Dem for MC Cain go for it ,if you are stupid enought to go through 4 more years of this sh-- vote for him./..At least we have an education to know what a mess this country is in and will stay in.......

"if they were to deny the popular-vote champ the nomination, there is a real question of whether Democratic voters would reconcile themselves to the decision. ..."

If popular vote is the criteria, Hillary Clinton is already the nominee.

That is the problem: Obama's electoral numbers have been declining since February. They will continue to fall as hers continue to increase in the face of the Obama chumps trash talking while McCain supporters wrap themselves in the flag.

If this goes all the way to the nomination, and he continues to fall, then August is the end game for the Dems. That leaves Hillary as the only viable option for the top slot.

On the other hand, pick her as soon as the last vote is cast in Puerto Rico and there is a chance of salvaging this situation. Don't do it and the Democrats as they splinter will look for someone to blame and that will be Dean and Pelosi. Other side effects will follow particularly in Pelosi's district where she has convinced very powerful donors to back Obama with the promise that he will be elected.

It's time to deal.

Don't worry, folks, there s no way Hillary and Obama would be on one ticket. She has to win the Nomination first, but if she does, she has already picked her running mate.

Obama would ahve to look over his shoulder for the duration of his presidency if Clinton was on "his" team!

Stan - Ok, I don't get it. How does winning more delegates equate to robbing an election? Isn't that why we have them in the first place? ie so people can vote?

I need to ask you a favor. The argument about electability is not sinking in with SD. There seems to be in SD a feeling that the Obama nomination is unstoppable and that it is a fait accomplit. In other words they are buy the media and Obama campaign perception that there is no way Obama can be denied the nomination at this point; that it would be “unfair”. We all know that is bullshit

Stan *-----her stupid Hubby started this Not Obama would be a BIG midstake to put her name on the ticket she would loose it for him to much dirty baggage one being BILLY.
