Hillary's Next Must-Win: Indiana

As Pennsylvania voters cast their ballots in Tuesday's Democratic primary, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her advisers were already preparing for an all-out battle through the last nomination contests in early June, though many in her camp agree that she needs victories, not only in Pennsylvania, but also in Indiana in two weeks.

Clinton advisers were predicting a victory over Senator Barack Obama in Pennsylvania, though a narrow one. Indeed, two associates of Clinton said she was taking nothing for granted, and they even predicted that she would end her campaign if she were to lose this primary.

IMPORTANT WARNING FOR INDIANA AND NORTH CAROLINA VENDORS: If Hillary or Terry McAuliffe come shopping, ask to see the cash first.

[VA2008]

Well North Carolina......what's the scoop? More bull$hit or truth. Pretty many are saying that Obama will NEVER win in North Carolina.

If the GOP runs the ad about Wright that even McCain requested they pull, it's time for Obama to run a few ads himself about Hagee, Haggard and any other "man of the cloth" that is a hater!

[Vern58]

Only the Clintonista nation are predicting a loss for Obama in NC. He is ahead of her by double digits there. She has all but conceeded it. She is throwing all her energy and dollars into Indiana.

One more Pat Robertson has said the following.

You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with." "Pat Robertson, calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez

You read the Bible and he says 'This is my land,' and for any prime minister of Israel who decides he is going to carve it up and give it away, God says, 'No, this is mine.' ... He was dividing God's land. And I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the E.U., the United Nations, or the United States of America.' God says, 'This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.'" --Pat Robertson, on why Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive stroke

Previous statement by Rev. Hagee, by the way, he repeated them earlier today 4-23-08.

The religious right embraced and solicited by John McCain is no different then the the Rev. Wright comments.

Another supporter of McCain, Rev. Hagee said on the Glen Beck TV show and on public radio

Hagee responded that he had "criticized the Catholic Church for its past anti-Semitism" and that "[s]tanding against anti-Semitism does not make me an anti-Catholic." Beck did not ask Hagee about his statement in a book that "[m]ost readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews." Beck also did not mention that the Catholic League's Bill Donohue has called Hagee a "bigot" and has pressed McCain to "retract his embrace of Hagee."

Additionally, Hagee told National Public Radio's Terry Gross that "those who live by the Quran have a scriptural mandate to kill Christians and Jews"; once wrote that "the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS" is that "[y]ou can negotiate with a terrorist"; and claimed that "Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans" because it "had a level of sin that was offensive to God," as evidenced by plans for "a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came."

Also today. Senator McCain said he welcomes Rev. Hagee's spiritual advise and support.

Don't for get Jerry Falwell Sr. now deceased. His son Jerry Jr. Oh, and Pat Robertson. The three most
Religious Right wing radicals in America.

Jerry Falwell talking about 9-11

what we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact -- if, in fact -- God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.....And I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the Pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America, I point the finger in their face and say: you helped this happen.

Obama will lose NC, WV, IND, MONT. and Oragon, WV, and NC for sure.

[alamoscout]

I'm just so astounded that so many thinks they know so muct more about North Carolina than the people who live here. It will be Hillary 2008. All Obama brings to the table is sissy diplomacy and skidaddle strategy.

[skoryras]

alamoscout,

You couldn't be more wrong. What Obama has and you and Hillary don't is class.

He refuses to play the game, If you got the guts, "LETS PLAY POLITICS", give us some facts, put your facts where your brains are, up your, well you know where the sun don't shine.

You talk about skidaddle strategy, your canidate said yesterday and the night before on Larry King, Keith Oberland, the Today Show, Good Morning America that she will Nuke Iran if they attack Isreal.

Thats the kind of strategy and policy that will cause W W 3. And you want her finger on the button. WOW, how stupid are you?

[halyscomet]

You will be embarrassed by your post on May 6th. Obama will win NC handily.

[VA2008]

You poor dear.....get some sleep before your head explodes!


Obama 2008

Look out Omama, Hillary has raised more than30,000,000 inless than 24 hrs. she's on the move.

[Vern58]

She raised just over 10 million
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24276527/

[skoryras]

That's great, Hillary raised $30 million in 24 hours. Now after she pays all her creditors and staff she should have maybe $10 million left.

This is the person you believe will save the economy, she can,t even pay her bills or balance a checking account. Ask her Ohio creditors and staff, her campaign wouldn't even return their calls. The Ohio primary was 7 weeks ago and they still haven't been paid. That's what kind of person she is.

Pretty impresive for someone worth $109 million.

People, it's over. Take a moment to shake the disappointment with Pennsylvanians from your heads but its time to move on. The Clintons threw every spell and incantation and flying monkey from the party apparatus they had at their disposal at Obam it couldn't break her fall. The primary is over for Mrs. Clinton. I know it will take a while her friends at the NY Times to realize that their pet candidate has lost it but, heck, ignore them. They've gotten real out of touch anyway. The press will continue to grasp at straws because it all they do these days. She'll continue to spin and spout and sputter for a while longer but that glow you see on the horizon isn't the dusk it's the dawn approaching. You can even tell Edwards and Gore that it's safe to come out of hiding. From now on, we focus on getting rid of Bush and McCain. You can really ignore anything Clinton or her surrogates say. The "pro-Clinton" trolls will soon enough shed a skin and turn into pro-McCain ones. It's over for the Clintons. Long LIve Hope!

No, John Edwards has not yet endorsed a candidate.

But nearly 50 of his most prominent backers lined up behind Senator Barack Obama today, in a gesture designed to give Mr. Obama a heavy boost of support less than two weeks before the North Carolina primary on May 6.

Edwards wife is campaigning in North Carolina with Hillary

[barackaide]

i, do you know how many are fresh supers, if any?

[brend]

The super dels, will vote for Hillary, because the dems Know She is the only one electable. It will be her and McCain. Charlie Crist govenor of Florida said on TV. That Florida's votes would be counted before June 3rd.

[alamoscout]

Obama will have a rude awaking here in NC. We are now seeing through the "Thin Man". If Hillary loses the nomination; we'll go for McCain. Obama may win the nomination; but he'll never win our minds and hearts!!!

[peacefully]

Smart , yeah 4 more years of Bush is better than a well spoken educated man who understands the issues, went into poor neighborhoods and helped people better themselves. You are sad. Have you read anything other than the crap the Clinton camp put out on him, aka Wright and all the other smears. The math is not with her no matter how she spins it. If the SD go against the will of people, and yes they can, they are no better than Republicans who fix elections that suit themselves. Hillary and her campaign should stop the smear jobs against her own party and help Obama. And do not think for one moment Obama has no idea what the Right wing have ready for him. Just keep on spinning and spinning but the math will be the same, she cannot catch him and until the system changes that's that for her. Face reality.

[brend]

Yeah! All we need is another Al Sharpton.

[Safire]

He does not need you, he has us!

It was never his to have anyway.

Obama 08

[poco767]

Both candidates admit they share more in common than with McCain, to vote for the other out of spite is mind boggling. This being a democracy you are entitled to vote however you see fit, but please do so based on policy not merely personality.

[brend]

Thats all it is and always has been, with maybe the exception of Kennedy, F.D.R., or Reagan. The rest in my life time have been Jokes, and Ihave been through every president since F.D.R.

[JerryTheAngel]

Then you don't care about the issues. You just admitted it. All you care about is the personality of the candidates. How anyone can support Obama or Clinton and then say if their candidates loses, they will vote for McCain is an empty headed, shallow, and self-centered voter. And the blood of our troops is on your hands when thousand more will die in Iraq because you voted for a war monger. Oh, that's right. You support Clinton who is a warmonger. My Bad.

[brend]

I should of said leaning toward MccCain so sorry

[brend]

Sure I care about the issues, I'm an independent and Leaning because he is talking about the issues. All you dems. want to do is fight and see who can get the most money, quit fighting and talk about the issues.

[brend]

I don't support either one of them I'm an Independent, leaning more toward McCain everyday, because all you dems want to do is fight, you all can't even deside on a candidate, and if you wait until the convention. the cows dun got loose. You better get that Great American(being sarcastic) John Dean to get on the stick and recount the votes in Florida, and Michigan, and get the super dels. to commit or its over for the dems. again in 08.

[alamoscout]

For your info; I'm a Vietnam Vet. So unless you have stood a post------don't preach to me about troops!!!!!!

[TheApeMan]

I can't believe Hillary Supporters are like this!
"Wahhh! If she doesn't win the nomination, I'm voting for McCain!"
what logic is this?!
I originally (way back) like Hillary, (eventually wanted Biden), but now I actually "kinda" hate her because of all this negative junk...BUT, I will vote for her because SHE IS BETTER THAN MCCAIN!
