Where are Biden and Carper? Does Biden really like Hillary?

Delaware, State that Obama carried, not one single Super Delegate has endorsed him yet.

Meanwhile, Hillary is getting benefit of being a Home Town Girl in at least 3 States - New York and Arkansas (where 100% of Super Delegates who have comitted and most have, have endorsed her). The third is Pennsylvania where she played the Scranton card and is now pressure PA Supers.

Ridiculous.

Senator Obama has come a long way. No one could have predicted this outcome least of all the Clinton Machine. Our country is hurting in a way it never has before and change is important to those of use who need something different than the status quo of the past 8 years. If we keep recycling the same people, and their family members, we apparently get the same outcome. I believe that Obama is where he is because we "are sick and tired of being sick and tired."

It is really too bad and too sad that a nation that works has worked hard and achieved a measure of success in getting beyond race, finds that it really has not gotten very far when the rubber meets the road. There remains a segment of our society that is stuck on ignorant and a segment who will play on it for all that it is worth.

I am so happy that Obama is pulling away from Hillary. Who wants Bill roaming the Whitehouse halls again. Maybe there was some evidence that he needs to get to in the oval office. I don't know. All I know is the country will be happier and more prosperous when we move on beyond the old politics, the Clintons. They need to become part of the history books of the 90's and that's all.

Obviously you are too young to remember the Clinton administration. Bill Clinton left office with an approval rating at 65%, the highest end of office rating of any President since World War II. That is nothing to sneeze at.

YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT, IT'S SOMETHING TO VOMIT AT!!! BILL CLINTON DISGRACED OUR WHITE HOUSE. HE IS A MAN WHORE!!! BILL CLINTON WAS THE LEADER OF OUR COUNTRY! IF A FATHER IS PROVIDING ECONOMICALLY FOR HIS FAMILY BUT CHEATING ON HIS WIFE WITH SITTER OR HOUSEKEEPER UNDER THE WIFES NOSE IN HER HOME HUMILIATING HIS WIFE AND KIDS, WOULD YOU APPROVE??? IT'S THE SAME THING. CLINTON MAY HAVE PROVIDED FOR SOME OF US BUT WAS A POOR LEADER AND EXAMPLE. THE 65% MUST COME FROM PEOPLE LIKE HIM.

Bill Clinton wasn't perfect, but he did a good job. If 65% of the people are human in this world, then yes, maybe we are like him. His misgivings did not cause the death of out people and countless untold civilians, among many other horrible crimes.
I don't have to approve of someone to think they are doing a good job. I don't approve of many things, but I try not to pretend that I am better then others because I didn't commit the same particular "sin" that they did. We've all done things. Period. Let's judge by how many people this affected, and in what way.
How many other good men and women have had a foolish affair and wanted to hide it? You might not like most men in history for this, but they have been good nonetheless. Their are different peices of humans, where one may fail in career he may be a great Father, where one may be a great leader, he may have other issues. We are not robots, and you will never find a "perfect" leader. We need a decent soul that works for us the best he or she can.
I think Clinton for the most part did that, now I hope the same from Obama.

So....Does this make Hillary the presumptive loser? I'm so proud of Obama, his vision and message that even though my bearings are squeaking and seals leaking, blown muffler and all, I am having a surge of patriotism. (or a hot flash) God Bless America.

Don't bailout the Clintons, they have a $109 friggin' million to loan to themselves for that!!!

If the Obama campaign is dumb enough to bail out the Clintons, I want ALL MY DONATION MONEY REFUNDED IMMEDIATELY! If I wanted to donate to the Clintons, I would have gone to her website and done so. I'm sure this applies to every who gave to Obama.

They have nothing like 109mil

They paid 36mil taxes on that.

And they gave some of it to charity. Admittedly, their own charity, but charity starts at home.

They are probably literally worth about 35 mil. Maybe 45mil.

Obama could promise to help bail her out if he is elected president. Otherwise, go suck an egg.

I don't think campaign rules allow him to pay her debts. I think the most he could do after the election is to help her with fundraisers by showing up at the event.

As a black woman who's father was a 20 year Air Force vet, I recognize that everyone chooses the way in which they will make their contributions to the USA. My dad loved this country with every fiber of his body and soul. I too love this country and the people in it and when I see the media, Hillary and some folks in this blog trying to separate "we Americans" by race at such an important time in our history, it truly leaves me sad and with a very heavy heart. We really are all part of the same family and the sooner we embrace this fact, the sooner the healing begins. Maybe some of those trying to separate us might take a few lessons on Love & reconcilitation from Nelson Mandela, Ex president of South Africa. After 27 years of being tortured and imprisoned for having the wrong politics, he was released and pleaded for everyone to forgive his captures and discard the hate in their hearts. When he became president, one of his goals was to facilitate healing. Are we so small minded as to have a campaign leave us with poison in our hearts? What will it take to make the most powerful country in the world realize that we will never regain that power unless we unite - not always agree - but we must unite.

Important post, hearttoheart. And when we look at the military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and note what subcultures are over- and underrepresented, we had better be VERY careful not to exclude ANY ONE of them from the context of Americans.

LOL! That's funny!

But sierrarisings1, the way I understand it is, they aren't "new" SDs - they're just ones that MSNBC hadn't previously allocated in their total. So they were just "updating" her totals for accuracy. There are several discrepancies on different sites but the one that seems more updated and more accurate is the one on Dailykos.

Hope that answers your question ;o)
