Senator Clinton

The Clinton daughter breathless fundraising T-shirt contest is utterly lame and yet probably much more exciting than the actual nomination contest, at this point. We have some design proposals.

A compromise Democratic Party decision tomorrow on how to allocate the Mich. and Fl. delegates will not be a setback for Clinton. On the contrary, it will give her the fodder she needs to continue her campaign.

Yesterday, for once, our candidates agreed: genocide in Darfur must end. And the constituency of conscience concerned about Darfur will hold them to their word.

In Hillaryland, desperate times mean desperate pronouncements. Seating the MI delegation is not akin to the 1960s struggle for civil rights. Hard working white people will vote for Obama. Talk of staying in the race and an assassination is irresponsible madness.

The pundits, pollsters and general populace have it all wrong. Obama doesn't have a "working-class white" problem; Hillary has had a non-hillbilly problem for months.

This military mom told me that if Hillary didn't get the nomination, she was considering voting for John McCain. Why? Because Barack Obama "flipped off Hillary." Have we lost our collective minds?

Women: We have got to stop this prolonged, gender-driven tantrum. Shrieking "I wanna woman in the White House. Now! Or else!" solves nothing. And it could cost us more than the election.

Last night's primary results demonstrate again that the issue underlined by the Clinton campaign is not race but racism. "White working class" does not mean racist-- not in Oregon or Vermont or Iowa.

"Suddenly, the candidates are all like Ponce de Leon," one Democratic activist said. "They've discovered Florida." Clinton supporters are underlining the state's significance for the general election.

There is little diversity in Kentucky but the voting won't just be about race. "We're not progressives. The party machine is Clinton and she's speaking to traditional Democratic concerns."

The woman who coined the term "Hillaryland" is now reportedly ready to join Obama's general election efforts. And Gallup has put Hillary support at less than 40 percent for the first time.

Clinton and Obama are both standing on the shoulders of one incredible ground breaker and boundary smasher. She was a Congressperson from New York and the first major party black candidate for president.

The DNC has engineered delegate values to the point where they no longer have any meaning. If each delegate represented a proportional number of humans, who would be in the lead, Clinton or Obama?

The state isn't just white. It also skews very old and poorly educated-- the worst possible demographic mix for Obama. Of course it has turned out to be the best possible demographic for Clinton.

Clinton is so desperate to seat the Mich. delegation as-is that she'll trash the Constitution to do so-- not a great sell on her potential as president given the last eight years of high-office Constitutional disdain.

"Clinton will stay in the race... You see, she's never actually lost before. ... I think this is really a difficult process for her to wrap her head around. She was in a little bit of shock, and angry."

She can't win the nomination and yet continues spending money she doesn't have in WV and KY, more silly exercises in vanity. Bill should continue paying, not Obama.

"I voted for Jesse Helms and was proud to do it. I voted for Fared Ali... and he's as Black as any man I ever seen... It comes down to if they're gonna do the right thing for the country."

At this point so-called private commitments on the part of superdelegates mean nothing. Clinton's candidacy can no longer pretend to be about the primaries. Without super commitments, she is not in the race.

The letter is a window into the post-rational mind of Hillary Clinton in the waning days of her lifelong dream. It's a doomed Hail Mary, with its typos and misrepresentations and flat-footed play for sentiment.

Hillary has gone from pandering to panhandling in a panic. Contribute if you want. Just make that check out to the "Hillary Clinton for Irrelevant" campaign... or the "Hindenburg Landing Party Fund."

The Hilla-Me Clinton for president campaign has turned me off. I believed Bill was going to work for the little people. But Hillary? "I will do this for you." "I will do that." Doesn't work so well like that.

The press conference was marked by sad Clintonian parsing. The primary is close, depending on how you define "close." Gas prices are a white issue. African-Americans, as a mass, are Obama's "passionate supporters."
