Weekend At Hillarys

The AP Reports:

As she struggles to blunt Barack Obama's growing momentum, Democrat Hillary Clinton shuffled the top of her campaign staff on Sunday ahead of this week's U.S. presidential nominating contests, while Republican John McCain's march hit a few bumps in the road.

Clinton replaced her campaign manager after a string of losses Saturday, though aides played down any notion the move was a sign of trouble for the New York senator in her tight state-by-state fight with Obama to be the Democratic nominee for the November 4 election.

The Washington Post reports that Obama easily won the Maine Caucus:

Barack Obama defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in Maine presidential caucuses Sunday, grabbing a majority of delegates as the state's Democrats overlooked the snowy weather and turned out in heavy numbers for municipal gatherings.

Democrats in 420 Maine towns and cities were deciding how the state's 24 delegates will be allotted at the party's national convention in August. Despite the weather, turnout was "incredible," party executive director Arden Manning said.

With 91 percent of the participating precincts reporting, Obama led in state delegates elected over Clinton, 1,878 to 1,305, with 17 uncommitted.

Obama exulted in his recent victories in Maine and elsewhere, telling a crowd of 18,000 Sunday evening in Virginia Beach, Va., that "we have won on the Atlantic Coast, we have won on the Gulf Coast, we have won on the Pacific Coast" and places in between.

Obama's victory in Maine comes a day after he swept contests in Louisiana, Washington state, Nebraska and the US Virgin Islands:

"We won in Louisiana, we won in Nebraska, we won in Washington state," Mr. Obama said at the Virginia Democrats' Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Richmond, Va. "We won North, we won South, we won in between. And I believe that we can win in Virginia on Tuesday if you're ready to stand for change."

While Mr. Obama's victories were significant, the Democratic Party awards delegates proportionally, so Mrs. Clinton stands to walk away from the contests with a sizable number. Both campaigns have dug in for a long and fierce delegate fight.

The nominating fight now turns to Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, which hold their primaries on Tuesday. Mr. Obama is considered well positioned in those states.

And now the "Look to the Future" Hillary makes her Campaign Manager Patty Williams, who over ten years ago was embroiled, fried and chucked overboard by the Clintons in the Johnny Chung money fraud.

What kind of "future" is this?

"It's not about ME, it's about YOU" Hillary lifts again from Obama. OK Hillary, if it's about ME, GOODBYE HILLARY!

I hardly no where to start...first of all Senator Clinton's new campaign manager's name is Maggie Williams. Secondly, despite what you infer from Senator Obama's many platitudes on the campaign trail, he claims that he is the only potential leader that can bring about "change". If that is not petulant narcissism, I don't know what is.

Come on Arianna. Get over all the Hillary bashing/je­alousy/hat­red, or whatever is going on with you and your team. I feel like I've landed on some right wing whacko website and not anything resembling news. Even the DrudgeReport seems more liberal than you these days. Half the Democrats are voting for Hillary, half for Obama. The way you tell it, Hitler was running against Obama, and Obama was winning by a Reaganesque landslide.

...why is it that the Hillbots can dish it out but cannot take it.

Your canidate has earned all that she gets.

Her tactics are discraceful and due to the internet everyone seems to know all about her except the faithful billary supporters.

Lets do a quick review.
She deserves to be president base on what again?
> People don't show up in droves for her
> She is short on funding
> her supporters are working for free while she loans them money. Even Romney just spent his money betting oh himself. Hillary is too cheap so she wants hers back. w/Interest?
> her highest aide had to be replaced
> her husband keeps putting foot in mouth
> Whats up with the uranium thing?
> whats up with the NV teachers suite
> What up with chelsea caint talk to kids?

Its time to accept it. America has moved on past the Bushes bast the Clintons.

Its time for a new era.

YES WE CAN!

OBAMA 08
