Obama "arrogant"? Have you been watching the woman on the other side of the primary...who puts her own nomination above dividing the party and risking losing to a man who wants to overturn Roe vs. wade...keep us spending money and life on a war that is making us less safe not more...who wants the market to take care of middle class,,,and tax cuts to take care of the rich... who thinks the housing crisis will work itself out... and who doesn't understand that Bush's policies,especially foreign, have put us on a road with the rest of the world to destroy our own country... we need people to want to "buy American"... we need people of the world to want to stand with us... and we need people to view us as not the great nuclear war-mongering satan... that does not happen with John McCain's stances.

I think arrogance is in a person who does not see that if Kerrey and others had stayed in the race against her husband there is a good chance he would have lost.

IndigoGrrl says - "if we had a winner takes all primary system Hillary would have taken the nomination a long time ago."

Yes if Hillary could change the rules expost facto to benefit her, she could be winning big time. I concur.

But instead of going with the electoral math, Hillary should demand that only states with the word "New" in their name should be counted. NH, NY, NJ, NM are the important states so whoever wins these states should get the nomination.

The thing that gets me about this argument with FL and MI is that no one is blaming the State Demacratic Leaders... it is THEIR fault that their states votes aren't being counted. I would be OUTRAGED and call for their resignation. They knew that by moving their vote date up they would lose their seats and they DID IT ANYWAY.

For J....Thank you..........Now I know why it's news. Boy, am I glad there are more pressing issues in this world. OOOOPS, gotta go, my phone is ringing, my son is calling from Iraq.

PS. I writing in Hillary in November.

I am urging Hillary to please run as an Independent if her opponent is successful stealing the nomination from her. Go Hillary! We love you!

SO they thought Mich and FLorida wouldn't make a difference. We it is making the difference. The difference being a newbie (heaven help us), or an experienced woman, who knows how to open the doors, not ask where they are.
Again, how can the United States of America (yes all 50 of them) vote for a president and only use 48 of them??

Writing in Hillary in November

Nice try for some levity... but no chance here. It's all about "ground and pound". No letup.

FL girl and Matt

I understand that the FL house vote 118-0 to violate the rules and change the primary vote forward while the senate vote was 37-2 to do the same. The governor was willing accomplice as well.

Plenty of Blame for ALL these clowns in the government.

King obama is arrogant. He demonstrates his arrogance by declaring, and to this day continuing to support, disenfranchising two entire large swing states in which he didn't win.

Who knew that Bush v. Gore would be done all over again, and this time by the Obama cronies in the "Democratic" party.

Everyone speaks about Obama's 'inexperience' - wasn't that the same issue when BILL Clinton ran? A 'draft-dodging', hokey, Governor of one of this country's poorest, least educated states? He had no 'foreign policy' experience except to run to Oxford, England for his college education?
Obama is young, intelligent and capable of surrounding himself with staff and advisors who DO have the experience and knowledge - and I believe he'll do a better job of than GWB has with his group of war-mongerers.
Would the HC supporters REALLY forfeit our country's future because of sour grapes? Quite remarkable really.
Oh, and I'm a white, 52 y.o. woman and 30-yr long Republican - who has switched parties because I can no longer stomach what that party has done to this country that I served 25 years in the Army for. I would vote Democrat no matter WHO was the nominee.

Geevil

I gotta know who these ELITISTS are. You gotta tell us dood.

But maybe you don't know either.

Senator Clinton agredd to not seat the Florida and MI delegates BEFORE they voted. Rules or rules!! But, I say count the votes...she still want have as many delegates as he does and/or popular vote...maybe. If those Clinton people would just do the math, they would know this over!!

I am not sure why I am surprised that more rational Whites and others aren't more upset about what Hillary said, but that I guess its all point of view. Personally, I find her frequent trips into her "many faces of eve" act and "I said things that I know were not true" disturbing. Pressure gets to everyone, but having been shot at in service of my country, I surely remember when I wasn't. It seems that she just says whatever fits the situation and the choir says 'amen' and that makes it ok.

Please stay in Hillary.Tear the DNC into little itty bitty pieces.:)
Seriously,stay.

One thing I do notice is that Obama pretty much sticks to policy when distinguishing himself from Clinton and McCain. That's just the impression I get.

It's up to Clinton and McCain to show how they too can make this impression on regular citizens. It's not what's written here on these posts.

All three of these candidates are potentially good leaders. Congress has as much influence. In a way, it doesn't matter to me who wins the presidency. But I am going to vote in the fall. I'll be listening and watching for the best candidate then.

Here is a question for serious consideration:

Can a democrat, using republican's talking points in a democratic primary against another democrat, actually win against a Republic in the general elections? Which one has perfected Rovian politics?

Nuff said!

Mrs. Clinton will not quit until she has destroyed Obama's chances this November. Watch as she now stirs the racist pot, in W. Virginia and elsewhere, repeating that it is impossible for a black man to win white Americans' votes. Instead of appealing to the country's better angels and working for the historical importance for us as a nation to turn the page toward a more perfect union, Hillary is demonizing the entire nation and smearing all of us, especially white Americans, by saying that white Americans will not vote for a black candidate. This is a blatant lie, as proven in Obama's victories in Iowa, Wisconsin, and all across the nation. It is way beyond time for the Democratic Party elders to STOP this madness before she destroys the party, the republic and all our best hopes for the future. No deluded, vicious, power-crazed politician should be given a free pass, even if her name is Clinton and she believes she is entitled to dynastic keys to the White House.

Taboo is a great game. The press need to lighten up. Being able to simply relax for a moment during a stressful time is the sign of a champion.

Aren't these sorts of things supposed to be personal?

This is like a couple of pols talking politics over a beer. Or John McCain's little "I didn't vote for Bush" gaffe at a Hollywood party.

You're not supposed to talk about things like this. Things like this won't happen again if you talk about it.
