Hillary Clinton had quite a slip today during a campaign event in West Virginia. The Telegraph - a British paper - caught Clinton referring to the next President as a "he."

As the former First Lady met voters at three events in West Virginia, attention turned to how she could make a graceful exit from a gruelling, 17-month contest...

...Speaking to voters in the Appalachian state, she said: "All the kitchen table issues that everybody talks to me about are ones that the next president can actually do something about, if he actually cares about it." Realising her faux pas, she added: "More likely if she cares about

What a sad 'conversation'. There's nothing but hatred and bile here.

I don't agree, but even if what you say is true, what do you expect on a thread with a headline and story this banal? Huffington has gone in for word parsing, whenever it can't find a real story. But we like to gather together anyway...

"Lieberman parrots Obama's Hamas smear." I love that headline on one of Huffpo's headlines. I guess Obama's teacher isn't happy with him. Obama must have been a masochist or just plain stupid for asking Joe to be his mentor. And Obama can't use the excuse, like he originally used for Rev Wright, that he was unaware of Lieberman's extreme views. I believe Obama's a Republican in a Democrat's clothing.

GOP - PROPAGANDA at its best

You need to look into Aaron Klein, the source of that Hamas smear. He's written a book in which every terrorist he interviewed said they preferred Democrats to win. This guy is a wingnut, and shouldn't be used as a source.

I do feel really sorry for how Barry's supporters have been snookered by him. I love how Huffpo always has articles about nasty Joe Lieberman and Obama asked the man to be his mentor after he was elected to the Senate. Isn't that precious!!! With Obama, his actions speak so much louder than his words.

I'm only trying to point out Obama's inconsistencies. I feel so sorry when people just fall for his words at face value instead of really looking into the reality of the man's actions. I'm sorry--choosing Joe Lieberman as his mentor is not what I would expect of someone who paints himself as a progressive.

I think it is easy to answer why Barack Obama picked up Lie-berman. At the time when BO came to Senate Lie-berman was INDEPENDENT with many experience as a run mate to Al Gore. I think it was enough to have him as a mentor. Not only independent mark but experience were what Barack Obama wanted to find. Nobody had idea at these days where or how Lie-bierman will turn around and starts licking asses to Repubs.

Well, thank goodness he at least has actions instead of just words. Hillary, on the other hand, has an entire resume - before her senate seat - of nothing but empty words. What is particularly and terribly sad is that a good amount of Hillary's words have been proven to be lies. So, yeah, go ahead and feel bad for Obama supporters, but don't forget to feel bad for yourself having been so easily duped by Hillary.

Clearly you must be talking about your candidate Hillary when you spew garbage like "Barry and his supporters have split the Democratic party with their hatred, race baiting, conniving, lying"...because this describes Clintons tactics to a tee. You can continue to repeat all the assinine Clinton talking points..."Obama blocked FL & MI", "He can't get the white vote", yadda, yadda, yadda. Hillary Clinton will still lose this nomination and has no one else to blame but herself and the terrible planning and managing of her campaign. But you, like her, has to desperately try to save face. So like her, I'll give you this silly benefit of doubt while she plays out the string.

It's funny how history repeats itself. Remember how Bush campaigned in 2000 as "A uniter not a divider" and wanted change from the previous successful 8 Clinton years. Look at what a uniter Bush turned out to be!!! He's divided America unlike anything we've ever seen. Barry's campaigning on a similar theme "Hope and Change" , unite. Barry and his supporters have split the Democratic party with their hatred, race baiting, conniving, lying. Like Bush stole Florida in 2000, Obama is blocking Florida's electorate in 2008. Shame on him. I will proudly write in Hillary if he's the Democratic nominee. I don't like to vote for failures.

Being as how you are new to this whole process between Hillary and "Barry", I suggest you do a little reading up before you post. Just do us all a favor and avoid Clinton's site and actually use Google, or search the news feeds to get your information. It's so much easier to have an opinion when you have th facts!

Yes he has. The only way he wants to accept their votes is if they're split 50/50. That's not the way the vote went. Obama proudly stated he didn't campaign in Fla but his commercials, were blatantly shown in Fla. And Obama doesn't want new elections held as he knows his chances for winning them are slim. He would rather disenfranchise Fla + Mich voters and run out the clock and falsely hope he'll have their support in November. Isn't it ironic--so many black voters in Fla were disenfranchised in 2000. Now one of their own is disenfranchising the entire state.

This is the reconciliation everyone's talking about, WWJD2? I'm TIRED of Clinton supporters insisting on respect and not giving any to Obama supporters. You all trudge on slinging mud at every opportunity even though the chances of Clinton capturing the nomination now are virtually nil.

FL and MI politicos blocked their own states' electorates from being counted, not Obama. The rules were clear. Terry McAuliffe explains the repercussions of such maverick decision making in his book, when MI US Senator Carl Levin threatened to do it before. Ironic that now McAuliffe wants to do the same thing. Opportunism once again trumps principle.

BTW, you say you don't like to vote for failures. Clinton has lost the Dem nomination. How do you reconcile the two?

Too bad. More's the pity for the Democrats chances of winning the White House this year. Obama trails McCain in two major demographics. Independents favor McCain on being better equipted to fight terrorists and white males favor McCain. Neither Democrats nor Republicans can win the White House without these demographic groups supporting them. The handwriting is on the wall. Obama just can't beat McCain even if Obama captures 100% of the black vote.

Obama will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this fall.

And as Obama's campaign has proven, afgail, with its unprecendented fund-raising efforts that started with regular people from ALL WALKS OF LIFE making small contributions, his only appeal is to Black folks.

After garnering nearly 75 percent of the caucus votes in Kansas, I have to admit that I was surprised that there were THAT MANY BLACK PEOPLE in Kansas. After living here for all of my 45 years I had never seen most of them, and yet there they were! Come to think of it, there was a bill introduced in last year's legislature to change the state song from "Home on the Range" to "Homie on the Range" but, alas, it failed to make it out of committee.

It's amazing how resistant people are to the truth sometimes.

this may just be true for now, burt once people REALLY get an idea of what mccain's policies and positions are, i trust that people will but their own issues aside and help put a president in office who is just five years out of debt himself, who knows what it is to have his mother dying from a terrible illness and be concerned about paying bills.

the clintons have not had that, bush has not had that. so yes, i want obama the real man, feet of clay and all, and i want people with courage and dignity on the down ticket, not people who do the type of fear-mongering that the clintons and the bushes the liebermans and the mccains do.

Did you seriously say you confront hypocrisy when you see it? And then, with a username of WWJD, say that you don't think Jesus would approve of Obama's tactics?

Followed by a post about Obama choking on Larry Sinclair? Or a post about how wonderful the Clinton years were and conveniently ignoring the Oval Office BJ, and subsequent lies told to the American people?

Where do I start? From the religious angle of "you freakin hypocrite. how dare you spew this garbage and promote Jesus at the same time"? Or from the intellectual angle of "you're willing to condemn Obama for tactics that he did not employ, but were used instead by your candidate"?

I am stunned that any individual could be so confused, deluded, and seriously handicapped. I almost want to utter the same phrase as your queen by saying "Shame on you!"

What a mental midget you are... as well as the absolute definition of hypocrite.
