Everyone knows there was a world and an economy before The Globalisation Revolution...
Many are still capitaliseing on the old system although it corrupted and fell..
Has there been a force above Democracy created out from Democracy it must fall..
Does she know all the drawers and cupboards of the white house then she must move in too.
We will be fighting the blank hardships of the criminal colonisation in name of americanisation whether usa will get its fruit or is confident that it still will rest above counting after the smaller nations are pushed into tentage by civil rifts of corrupt regimes and fed by the uno.
Hillary has the media and the media has Hillary. The media cannot be controlled because it andre[entered] belief of children from within the constitutions and constirtutions of regimne governments and regional diplomacy's show and thanks to the lies of British Companies and European Beggars ..
The American women is all there to revenge her husbands shame and sorrows that twisters and logic attacked him but he was one amongst democrats and not another partisan .
Has Hillary got her knifes together and will be a media play ,although one that will seldom land on the moon like benazir bhutto or princess diana ,john lennon etc,but she will revenge. Hillary is white and red ,pink with a breathing nose and cosmetically able to cover her fangs very well.be it shites or sunnis,communists or secularists ,all the blades that cut her pinkman ,vietnamese or nigereasns ,jews or merely catholics,shes out there with new boob n hatchet, 'cackle's ' "now you are all alone"
hillary may come out with victories in three states; however, because this election has taken such a negative tone (thank you, media), it's turned off this voter -- who only a few weeks ago was jazzed about the political milieu. for hillary to compare obama negatively with mccain displays to me that she really doesn't care about getting the democrats back into the white house so there's no veto-threatening president shows that the country is at most no. 2 on her list; her ascendancy to potus being no. 1. and, yes, obama has shown what i perceive as arrogance, but in no way has he led an attack on hillary -- not by a long shot. it came in the form of responding to her campaign's consistent negative attacks. too many people who earlier had loved both their options likely are feeling a bit insulted by both parties' tactics. hillary has turned me off by insulting my ability to vote for a candidate because i think he's pragmatic -- and "mocking" my support for him won't make me suddenly jump to her defense in the fall, should she be the nominee. obama's never mocked hillary's supporters -- he's only called it like it is by pointing out that they have mischaracterized his policies and made biased/untrue claims about him. granted, the media probably is loving this -- which would explain why in the past three days they suddenly have "turned" on obama (which must delight hillary's supporters). but i'm really beginning to consider voting for nader should hillary nab the nom. for all those "mccain if hillary/obama gets the nod" people, at least nader is a logical second choice.

and yet Obama will not clinch either.
Ok, so I'm sitting here wasting my day watching political TV and reading blogs. Is it just me or is there something unseemly about candidates--all the candidates--actually campaigning on election day? And how about those surrogates all over the airwaves? Exhausting. I'm old enough to remember when the liqior stores and bars were shuttered until the polls closed on election day. How about a moratorium on campaigning as well. At this point--when the entire process is reaching toxic levels-- how about a break for the voters to actually think, reflect, relax, and vote. I know it's near impossible to change anyone's mind--but I've actually convinced one person, me. It's clear to me now that no matter how hard I try to control the outcome by yelling at the TV--while resisting the animal instict to descend into internet incivility--that this one is simply beyond my reach. That said, I'm taking the day off from politics--I can read about the results tomorrow. By the way, my family rejoices at this flash of sanity.
Everyone needs to take a breather.... NO ONE needs to tell either of the Dem candidate to call it quits.
If a candidate decides its time to pull the plug on their own campaign so be it. The answer to who best serves the Dems in the General against the Republicans is the real question that each voter must decide on their own.
This is a Primary..... Pick your candidate carefully. 4 more years of Republican rule is at stake.
Except for the lead time between now and April 22nd. I can't handle 49 more days of this!
I worked our state's caucus...and saw it with my own eyes. It's a force, a movement, a total shift. And lord knows we need it!
OBAMA!!!
Today, it was my privilege to vote for Hillary Clinton. Tonight, I go back to the polls to caucus for her.
How lucky we Texas Democrats are to have a choice between two excellent candidates.
My hope is that people in the remaining primary states get the same choice and have their voices heard as well as those that have already voted in Michigan and Florida.
Hillary takes two more big states today.
I predict a double digit win for HRC in OH and she will also win the the popular vote in TX but lose the delegate race in TX due to the caucus. She will come out of the race with +5 delegates which is really not enough to make a difference. Her argument will be that she has won the big states but what does that mean in the overall analysis really? It is the red states and places like Virgina that will make the difference not CA, NY and NJ that are in the DEM column no matter what. She has no chance to win a red state and the repubs will come out in mass to defeat her. She still has 48-49% negatives. Independents would flock to McCain. I predict she loses in the general. I know women love her
but not republican women, believe me I am married to one.
Here is my email to the Obama campaign....
Hey Guys. You should have had Goolsbee on every talk show in America yesterday to repudiate the
NAFTA story line. What happened? Barack's standing and the reason he wins is because people
believe that he is a different kind of cat. You let the press and Clinton challenge his veracity and it
stuck. Barack is still being defined in the minds of most Americans, you cannot let something like this go unchallenged. The evening news ran a segment on ABC showing reporter shouting at Obama as he left a news conference.
After you lose both Ohio and Texas today, which I think you will based on RCP results.
(I think Barack will lose Ohio by at least 15) you still need to get the word out on this story as it goes
to the heart of your candidate.
I never hear back from your staff so I don't know if these things are being received but hopefully
you are getting this information from someone. This didn't need to happen.

It's absurd that Obama first borrows whatever he needs from other campaigns, including Clinton's, and second, then has the audacity to claim that somehow he is better, especially while the trial for his fundraising buddy begins in Illinois. This seeming credibility travels well, but is the mark of a shameless opportunist, selling us the magic snakeoil for all our ailments. With luck, the margin of errors voters will recognize this, and give Obama a second place RED ribbon in both Texas and Ohio. After, GWB, we deserve and need something more than easy and empty promises of change. Hillary isn't perfect, and was never my first choice, but will be an excellent President for all of us, as she diligently repairs the enormous damage to our country by GWB and his base.
Tragically,Hillary. Which means once again in November we will be left with no choice. Our once envied democracy will come down to a choice between two shriveled, warmongering corporatists-
Hillary Clinton decided to go way negative with the "kitchen sink" approach in the week before these primaries, and it may help her in the short run by allowing her to squeeze out a popular vote win in Ohio and Texas, but at a huge cost to the democratic party. She has no real chance of winning the nomination unless she cheats (Florida, Michigan, suing Texas) and yet she is willing to drag this on and launch ridiculous baseless attacks against Obama (isn't he a muslim?). With Obama I think we have a real chance to turn things around in this country, to get people excited again about what America can accomplish. Hillary inspires no such excitement and in fact is an old school bully with no relevant experience to be president (look how poorly she has run her campaign) and no chance of getting anything meaningful done in Washington because she is so viscerally hated by republicans. So, who do I think will win? I think sadly the republicans win because our party will be torn apart by summer and ripe for a McCain trouncing.
The repubs will win if we don't wrap this up soon. I'm handing my lunch money over to Karl Rove right now as we speak. We stand around jerking off over the relatively minor slip-ups of two good candidates and give pepaw McCain free months to go around convincing the American people that waging war for another 100 years, sleeping with lobbyists and resurrecting the bamboo cage are mere signs of his integrity and independence.
The Real Campaign begins after Labor Day. Not to worry.
John McCain is like a Patridge Family re-run while the Super Bowl is on. Fear not.
If Billy Carter were the dem nominee, he'd beat the Bush protege.
I really hope you're right. It's just that after months of watching these candidates tearing each other apart, McCain will start looking like a "fresh" face. Don't rag on Billy Beer!! Public urination? He’s a maverick!! Alcoholic, no college degree? He’s a man of the people! Libyan agent? Why, he’s got foreign policy experience! AND he was in the military. Billy Beer + Nader = dream team.
One thing to remember about the polls before an election - they use phones to call previously registered voters. Newsflash, the newly registered, younger voters don't have land lines! This may skew the results away from Obama early on.
Exit polls, on the other hand, are nearly always accurate. I don't believe people have that much need to be coy after the fact. It's the exit polls in Wisconsin that allowed MSNBC to call the election for Obama before 1 percent of the vote was even reported.
My prediction; Obama wins Texas - popular, caucus, and delegate majority. Obama wins Ohio narrowly (if at all) in popular, and splits the delegates. RI will be a surprise even split for Obama and a majority win in VT.
Even with a near even split in delegates, Hillary stubbornly stays in the race, clinging to the belief that more primaries will make the difference and the rest of the US needs to be heard. She will put a full court press on seating FL and MI and start hounding the superdelegates.
It's a very long way to PA - 49 days. Within two weeks, her donor support will dry up and she won't be able to continue campaigning. She'll put a spin on her decision to drop out, but she'll have caused more infighting and greater division in the party, giving Mc Cain a great deal of ammo against Obama.
Let's hope I'm wrong about this last part and she does what every graceful loser does, concedes defeat...
Texas And Ohio Primary: Who Do You Think Will Win?
Connecticut
Hillary's getting the media nod right now. The Networks seem lacking in their customary strident tone. I think Hillary comes away 53% overall as a 4 state composite. Winning Ohio and Texas. Splitting 'Monty and the Island.
But the media nod for Mistress Hillary came too late. The electorate is no herd of sheep, always prepared to be chased around after the media-dogs' will, anymore. They have decided their will prior to "the nod", and thus they will vote.
Sheep look up this time. And their teeth bite. Beware, Media-dogs. Beware the sheep.
Political campaigning has always been fraught with a certain degree of dirty tricks and defamation. This is an unfortunate fact but a reality nevertheless.
The slimy factor to one degree or another is a side of our politicians we do not appreciate or support, but it is one of many sides with which we contend in ALL politicians. I think it is pretty naive, and beyond naive, dangerous, if you're a Democrat, to get so attached to the outcome of this race. Sure, choose your favorite and vote accordingly, but when election day comes, regardless of the candidate, you had better set your bias aside and step up and support our nominee. Otherwise, all you are doing is handing the Republicans another 4 years to flush what is left of this country straight down the toilet.
The question is not do you love HRC or do you love Obama -- the questions are:
1. Do you want to spend the next 100 years in Iraq?
2. Do you want to complement that disaster with a nuke dropped on Iran?
3. Do you want a worthless dollar?
4. Do you want to send what few decent jobs are left offshore and pay the corporations even bigger ax breaks to do this?
5. Do you want to forgo economic recovery for a depression?
6. Do you want to double or triple our current deficit?
7. Do you want to give up any chance of national health care?
I guess if you answer "YES" to any of those questions, go ahead, boycott HRC and vote for McCain -- or abstain. But if any of those issues have meaning to you, step up and vote for the Democratic nominee.
As for the smear tactics against Obama, you might reconsider and give credit to the party which credit is due. This isn't the work of the Clinton campaign, the nonsense is coming from the Republican camp.
