Either something is beginning to rumble in the Democratic race . . . or the race is already over (and someone just forgot to tell the superdelegates).
Either the Clintons have the pull to keep the race alive for another month . . . or they've long since worn out their welcome.

i just finished reading Obama's book- "Dreams from a father"- beautifully written and enjoyed reading it.
However, the book is revealing to me on Obama and his experience as a community organizer that he talks about- Obama is naive, idealistic and very left leaning; his experience as described in the book is really on some very small issues that I have seen many in my own neighborhood do daily- dealing with an apartment building, or bringing a grocery store to the neighborhood etc- all nice, good things BUT certainly not the kind that will prepare someone for the toughest job in the world- POTUS.
If Obama is the Dem nominee- our party will be throwing yet another election over to the GOP- I will grieve for not just my party but for my country and its people as well.
how exactly do you prepare for becoming president.
So you like fiction. Nothing in the book is true. His father did not loose his job because he was trying to protect African rights, he lost his job because he was an alocoholic. He had drunken accident after drunken accident til he lost his legs in one and was fired.
He also was a bigamist and was married and had a pregnant wife when he "married" obama's mother. After obama was born he moved on to New York, leaving her and obama. He "married" another American woman. Left her and went back to Kenya. Marrying two more times.
And just think obama got 2 million dollars for a work of fiction.
And no body can ever find out because when you post the truth, especially on this site...""""""THIS COMMENT IS PENDING APPROVAL"""""".......they won't let you tell any truth about obama.
Democratic Party's patience for Clinton wears thin?
How so? As of today, 48% of delegates support Clinton. She is unlikely to surpass Obama, but when almost half the Party still supports you, it seems clear that many Democrats have not yet run out of patience.
48% of delegates support Clinton. You can't say that enough. Those are facts. Another fact is until the elites of OUR party, the Super "Undemocratic" Delegates, vote no one can get enough votes to win. No, not even Obama. That's a fact. Now what we have is an unseemly attempt on the part of the party elites to pressure Hillary Clinton out of the race. Why? Because they know whatever they do MAY come back to haunt them. Hillary Clinton has every right to go all the way to the convention. If not for this ridiculously absurd primary process this would be over now. But all the little "Boss Tweeds" are wanting to pressure Hillary out so that they won't have to make their decision. But we have rules - they maybe crazy rules written in the middle of the night during a session of heavy drinking, but those are the rules. And as we told the people of Florida and Michigan: RULES ARE RULES!
Call Howard Dean and make him fix this mess.
I'll call Howard. What should I say?
Exactly ! And, she has has secured the most votes cast- if only they would count FL- 15,116,613 Million votes.
The more I see the venom from the Obama fans against the Clintons here- I am increasingly pushed to join the more than 1/3 of the 15 Million who would either vote McCain of just stay home in the general election if Obama is the nominee
I have already re-registered as a republican just in case. First I do no think the DNC really knows what they are doing. They do not understand that the base of the Democratic Party does not support obama.
He is not really the candidate that could run this country at this time. Maybe down the road he might be but when he looses to McCAin he is going to be tainted forever and he will never be nominated again. The good old boys rant and rave on their sites because they are scared to death to have a woman elected. The young are so zonked out by acquainting obama to a rock star, which they will forget in 7 or 8 months and never show up to vote again. So the DNC is ignoring their base. Democrats who have been Democrats for 40 to 50 years. Who will know that they are not being listened to and will desert. McCAin altho he supported bush like the rest of the republicans is not really the rock hard republican the good old boys are so busy posting and typing about. Those who are going to vote for McCAin if obama is appointed, can not be changed from their course and the DNC will see that they have shot themselves in the butt this time and spewed you know what all over the place. JUST WAIT AND SEE.
Some things I have been wondering, can anyone help me?
1. Where are the Rodham boys? Has Hillary disowned her brothers? Seems the whole family has a tendancy to be dishonest money grubbers.
2. Why do we so seldom see a full length picture of Hillary? Is it because full length is not flattering?
3. Does Hillary exercise? We hear alot about McCain's health, we see Obama very fit playing b-ball, we see Bush cycling and hear about his regime. How does Hillary mantain that perfect light-bulb figure?

partyofone....One must admit You certainly have some Important issues ,you wish to have answered !
You sound a bit OFF there .
Misogyny (pronounced /mɪˈsɒʤɪni/) is hatred (or contempt)[1] of women.[2][3] It is a form of sexism, parallel to misandry " the hatred of men. Misogyny is also comparable with misanthropy,[4] which is the hatred of humanity generally. The antonym of misogyny is philogyny, love towards women. Marcus Tullius Cicero reports that Greek philosophers considered misogyny to be caused by gynophobia, a fear of women.[5]
There is help for this. No need to suffer alone. :(
Someone should come up with an analysis of all Hilary's weaknesses that she turns into accusations against her rival to deflect attention away from empty candidacy.
Her latest attempts at painting Obama as unelectable are ludicrous - this from the one woman Republican hate so much they will actually come out in hoardes just to vote against her.
After the last primary the supers should all come together and do what's best for the party. enough of lying, whining, pandering clinton.
XTRA! XTRA! .... READ ALL...ABOUT IT!
"Bayh memo bashing Clinton re: Magnequench hits papers tommorow! "

Why doesn't someone ask Hillary if she'll pardon Bush if she becomes president, and has she made any deal with him yet?
Notice how deathly quiet Israel is. You know that means they are planning on bombing Iran. That'll change the elections for sure, and more likely be cancelled. Until thern it's all pretence, all theatre.
Rove is right, the only way for Hillary to win, is to keep attacking Obama even more forcefully.
Problem with that: It destroys the Democratic party.
ERGO: Hillary either starts campaigning like a civilized candidate (even if it means she loses), OR she withdraws, OR she destroys the party.
If she chooses the 3rd path, how many Dems will vote for her in November?
Seriously?
Hillary didnt create Rev Wright. Obama sat there for twenty years and passively agreed with the reverends rants. He even donated to the church that awarded the Jew hater Farrakhan a life time achievement award. Historically it can be compared to the holocaust when good men sat silent. Im sure he was afraid to speak out as it would have damaged his political fortunes, but a leader would have said something.
Nonsense.
The ignorant would have us buy into this "guilt-by-association" non-story with precious little examination of the facts. Either they just don't like Mr. Obama, or they don't like blacks, or they don't like men, or they're already in the Clinton's pockets, or they're really the frothing muzzle of the rabid right - hell bent on McCain.
The notion that Obama is in any way responsible for Wright's utterances would make every politician responsible for the remarks of every family member, every social relationship, every political alliance, every professorial pontification in college, etc.
"WELL !?!? Why didn't you walk out of Professor Peabody's lecture when he denied the Armenian genocide? You must be GUILTY of believing those lies if you didn't storm out of the room and denounce him in a press conference !!!"
Horseshit!
Why not look at REAL alliances where financial or political interests of someone are furthered by those relationships with questionable or shady characters. Consider Bush family members relations with the Saudis. George Bush's failed enterprises Arbusto, Spectrum 7, etc - FUNDED BY THE Bin LADEN FAMILY. And Bush was reelected. If holding hands with the bin Laden's can't keep you out of the White House, what will?¨¨
The lists go on and on - as deep and wide on Rodham's side of the court - and even deeper in McCain's
Wright baptized Obama's kids. Whoop-di-doo.
In the guilt-by-association game, Obama comes in a distant third.¨¨

Obama needs to withdraw, he can't win anyway. No one will vote for a Muslim.
'Night Karl.
If you weren't so stupid, I might feel sorry for you.
Typical Hilary Clinton supporter - thick-headed, narrow minded, bigoted, uneducated and so dumb I pray you lot don't make babies....
Guess you really mean we should vote Obama??
Oh wait ....Obama and Clan don't want us cause we're thick-headed,narrow minded,bigoted,uneducated and of course DUMB !
Says a lot for your Boy For Change and Unity ...Huh ?
Nothing like the smell of hope and unity in the morning!
Asians and Native Americans won't vote either if Hillary THE CROOKED WITCH steals the Nomination.
We vow to stage a Protest in Washington if this happen.. This is not a idle THREAT.
It's a promise.
Why polute the White House with more of Bill Clintons nasty stains...
And your threats really get your candidate a lot of votes. I know I am impressed.
If she's the nominee, why don't you hold your breath?
That "if" will never happen sweetie....
dont go holding your breath now
Huff Post - just how long does it take to approve a post? Maybe until it shows up on page six? Geez!!
It depends on who you are. Huffpo censors are like Hoover's operatives: they keep files on each and everyone of us, ranking us by "political acceptability." Nothing to do with offensive remarks and foul language, which many people who have been censored and banned have never used.
TGIF! .... Let's have some fun.
Play.....Obama....or....Hillary.....By...A....Knock OUT!
Believe me. This game is.....therapeutic.

You know, all this "Hillary is the anti-Christ" crap is getting old. I hear the same thing over and over - Hillary has run a dirty campaign Whaaaa!, Hillary is a racist Whaaaa! Hillary Cheats and Steals Whaaaa! Nothing to back it up but it doesn't stop you Obama supporters from screaming it every damn day. Here's a newsflash - Obama is losing ground because Obama is a phony and people are finally getting it. Everything that has happened to Obama is because of Obama. Hillary did not make him sit in that church listening to that racist hate-monger for 20 years. That's all on Obama. Hillary did not make Michelle hate America - That's on Michelle! Hillary has been trashed and vilified every damn day by the media who hung their hopes on Obama without asking the necessary questions and she stayed strong while he folded like a cheap suit as soon as he was outed by this maniac preacher of his. This is ridiculous - This man will never be able to win the general and I'm really ticked off that he has been given a free ride for so long that it is probably to late to save our party and our country.
To think that the MSM has not and will not report on the Peter Paul Campaign Fraud case against the Clinton's, But will Loop rev wright 24/7. The fact that the judge has declared that Hillary will not have to testify until November, after the election, and the MSM has not reported it just shows what this country is coming to. This means that should Senator Clinton become the nominee and wins the general, she will start her administration off, in the middle of a scandal. The MSM knows this, the superdelegates know this, But the american people are being left in the dark.........scandalous!
Don't lend credibility to the Peter Paul case. It won't be long before Judicial Watch comes after Barack.
Ha! ROFLMAO!!! My sides are splitting! Were you laughing as you typed that? It must have taken forever.
Please keep it up. This campaign has needed some humor for while now. Thanks so much.
"This man will never be able to win the general and I'm really ticked off that he has been given a free ride for so long that it is probably to late to save our party and our country."
Rodham herself, when pressed with this question during the debate, said emphatically THREE TIMES that Obama CAN WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION.
So, either you're calling her a fool and totally without political savvy - OR - you're telling us that she was lying ... AGAIN !
What are you saying? Is Rodham a liar, or a fool?

Point is ....If Obama Is winning and you people are so Sure he's a winner ,Why all the Gross Nasty , Lying posts about Clinton ?
Do you guys really believe that will get Obama elected ??
Not even to the Dump !
then why is the man winning ? and if you think the man can't win the general it is even more of a long shot that hilary has half a rat's chance in hell of winning.
Typical clinton strategy - accuse your opponent of your own weakness. It is hilary who can never win the general election. Never !
It is a sad day when Americans would rather see 300,000 other Americans lose their jobs so they could save $28 - $30 worth of gas for three months.
It is even sadder when a presidential candidate feels nothing regarding the prospect of these people losing their jobs so she can win an election.
What if that was your mom, dad, brother or sister losing their jobs? How would you make it? All of that for $28 worth of gas.
Haven"t we been screwed enough? Haven"t enough jobs been lost to foreign countries? We should never lose jobs because someone wants to win votes.
We're not just talking about 300,000 other Americans losing their jobs. It's also the negative impact the lost of their income has on their community. The businesses in their community.
And then there's the increased costs to those who are saving $28-$30, in repairs to their automobiles, from driving on roads that aren't being maintained by the 300,000 people who lost their road maintenance jobs.
It's the circle of life. We're in this together.
Under Bill Clinton there were 22.2 million new jobs created. This is the most jobs ever created under a single administration, and more jobs than Presidents Reagan and Bush created during their three terms.
Under President Clinton, the economy added an average of 245,000 - 248,000 jobs per month, the highest of any President on record. This compares to 52,000 per month under President Bush and 167,000 per month under President Reagan.
These numbers are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics 1993
So quit talking about Clinton(s) not caring about jobs. Find something else to whine about.
I didn't know Bill was running again. Can't Rodham run the country without Bill? Besides, the issue has to deal with what will happen during Bush's term, not Rodham's.

Ok, no more whinning about the Clintons and jobs. Too bad most people are so disgusted by the Clintons' current behavior, the 1990s seems light years past.
Bill Clinton has become a reviled figure for many Americans who once admired him.
He has forfeited the opportunity to become a senior statesman by selling his influence to the highest bidders for personal financial gain at the nation's expense.
He has abidcated his responsibility as a former president and current leader of his party to conduct a mean-spiritied, self-interested, dishonest, damaging campaign against a Democratic candidate whose only offense has been aspiring to lead and challenging Mrs. Bill Clinton for the presidency.
Bill Clinton will go down in history as the president who had an affair with an intern, lied under oath, got Impeached, sold influence to become a mega millionaire, and tried his best to prevent Barack Obama from becoming president.
Great job, Bill. Now go away, and take Mrs. Bill Clinton with you.
...and he opposed the gas tax moratorium.
