Clinton Compares Florida, Michigan Situation To Zimbabwe Elections

You are very selective in the states you pick to highlight. WV and KY are hardly representative of the average US state. I counter you with much more representative and actual swing states, like VA, CO, WI, OR, WA, NC, et al. posted 05/22/2008 at 12:13:26

The poisoning of the water is in full gear now. Obama = Mugabe?

Can we please engage in some critical thinking?? The only way for Hillary to win is to overturn the delegate leader. If I were an AA, which I am not, I would see that as re-affirmation of the same old same old.

Sorry, it was a nice try, but we just aren't ready for a black president. We are going to change the rules now, and you lose.

I believe that will unleash an incredible anger from AA's that will absolutely torpedo any chance for the Dems to get the White House. And by the way, the "hard working white" vote is notoriously opposed to Dems in elections, while the AA vote is rock solid. That bears out in election after election. Do we really think "hard working whites" are going to vote for the woman over the white man in greater numbers that the white man vs the black man? posted 05/22/2008 at 11:53:56

Hillary Clinton Targets Sexist Media

Just like the loser to always forget that they were perfectly content with the rules until it looked like they might lose. That's when the faux outrage and indignation come in handy. Conveniently forgetting the TV interview a few months back where Hillary smilingly said, "those votes aren't going to count". posted 05/20/2008 at 17:14:18

I read the article and while there is much ado made of sexism, but where are the examples? Who are the culprits?? It seems that Hillary's supporters are taking the kinds of garden variety slams that all political candidates get and labeling it sexism. I mean, just off the top of my head, the Dukakis tank picture is worse than any snarky comment about pantsuits or cackles.

John "My friends" Mccain gets slammed here on HuffPo as bad as Hillary ever was. Is he screaming "ageism"? It's what happens to all politicians in a long campaign. I am happy to stand corrected, but I haven't seen an overwhelming abundance of sexism. A few incidences, to be sure, like "you're nice enough". But not that many. posted 05/20/2008 at 17:11:42

Superdelegates Turned Down $1 Million Offer From Clinton Donor

Cherry-picked statements taken totally out of context never frighten me. And you? posted 05/20/2008 at 09:14:47

Yes, Hillary rolled her Senate campaign cash into her campaign for Prez, while Obama spent all of his helping fellow Dems get elected. How terrible of him. posted 05/19/2008 at 16:58:17

It looks like the Democratic establishment fat cats are not going to get their way this time. They must be stunned. If you think this is the only offer on the table for these superdels from the uber rich Clinton supporters, you are naive indeed. It just points out how amazingly well the Obama campaign has done to overcome these incredible odds.

Hillary loves to tout the big states she has won, but you have to factor in that she had the extremely powerful Democratic machine working for her in states like CA, PA, NJ, NY (admittedly her "home" state), MA, OH, etc. All the favors called in and still the grass roots movement has come out ahead. It's pretty amazing. posted 05/19/2008 at 16:53:03

Sexism & Politics -- Where Do We Go From Here?

Who has used those terms? What prominent figure has come out and used any of those terms?

If you are referring to anonymous posters on a blog, then I just have to roll my eyes at your naivete. Do you not realize that there are posers and provacateurs (a.k.a trolls) on blogs who are only here to get opposing people to foam at the mouth and hate each other? It serves a purpose for their side, which is neither Hillary or nor Barack's. posted 05/20/2008 at 08:49:57

Why are you hung up on some sort off victimhood?? Poor us?? Why would you say things like "What woman will dare throw their hat in the Presidential ring again?"

Can you please identify the "many loud voices" that claim there is no gender problem in America?? because I have no idea who you are referring to. It seems like a straw man argument to me.

And you mention that Barack breaks the rules by proclaiming himself the victor and compare that to Hillary trying to get the party rules changed when she sees she is hopelessly behind otherwise. That is so apples and oranges I hardly know where to begin. First of all, back in January Hillary said in an interview that we would have a nominee by Super Tuesday. Since she was the prohibitive favorite at that point, one can easily infer what was meant by that : I will be the nominee by Super Tuesday. She ran as an incumbent in a year of change. She was tone deaf to the voters' desires, front loaded her campaign efforts, blew her wad of cash early, and ignored caucus states. She lost because she ran a TERRIBLE campaign. Plain and simple. posted 05/20/2008 at 08:31:43

Florida, Michigan cannot save Clinton

Wrong again. The private club that is the Democratic Party can decide how votes count any way it wants. Superdelegates are one example of that. The practice of having both primaries and caucuses is another. There is a long history of precedence in Supreme Court rulings that uphold the right of political parties to choose candidates any way they want. They could flip a coin.

The general election is what Federal law covers. Not primaries or caucuses. posted 05/16/2008 at 17:23:27

First, we Obama supporters need to chill out. Second, you Hillary supporters need to chill out. There are plenty from BOTH SIDES dishing out abuse. Not a single argument, comment or abusive comment toward either side on this blog will make any difference to the outcome. Civility is important, for a lot of reasons. posted 05/16/2008 at 17:17:28

It isn't the states, it's the candidates who all agreed to the rules. Hillary is on record on video saying FL and MI votes won't count. Now that she is losing, she screams for them to count.

Hillary And The Racist Gap

Blacks have never before had the opportunity for voting FOR a black candidate for President. And they have been voting 80% + for white male democrats election after election. Assuming you are a democrat, you should appreciate that fact and rejoice that there is a black candidate that blacks can invest in with pride.

Couple that with the ignorant comments shown on tv over the last few days about Obama being a muslim and not covering his heart for the pledge of allegiance and not wearing a flag lapel pin and other idiocy and then maybe it will assist in your understanding. posted 05/14/2008 at 17:30:29

Why is what you say any different? i.e, "lower yourself to the Obamites' tactics" and "righteous know-it-all-bots". It's fine to have strong opinions about the issues, but people on BOTH sides who insult the other are engaging in childish behavior.

Go to fivethirtyeight.com and look at the incredibly sophisticated breakdown they have using all of the polls from the beginning up to present. They use a very sophisticated regression formula, which they explain in great detail on the site. He predicted a 69-30 vote yesterday. Their accuracy is by far the best I have seen.

Their conclusions, based on the math, are different than yours. Obama has a higher electoral college vote than Hillary and is less than 5 points down to McCain in several other key states. I'll stick with the math over your opinion. Check it out, unless you don't want your bubble burst. posted 05/14/2008 at 17:16:24

The most interesting website I have found to address this is fivethirtyeight.com. The guy who runs it is a statistical genius who runs a regression formula on all the polls' data (he goes to great lengths to explain how it works) and makes predictions. He predicted a 69-30 HRC win last night before the results. Pretty darn close. He just missed the amount of thesplit between Obama and Edwards.

Furthermore, he has the current polls for all 50 states head-to-head compiled and has run his regression software against them. Right now, Obama has a better electoral count (270-269) than Hillary and is 5 points or less down in several key states where Hillary is way behind. No bs, no spin, no agenda. It is extremely comprehensive and goes into incredible detail as to how his formula works and why it has been so accurate thusfar in the primaries. Check it out. posted 05/14/2008 at 13:49:15

The racist vote is a higher proportion in WV than almost any other state, with upcoming KY as a close rival for that distinction. He can forget WV for November.

We have to look at this election in the broader context of what is happening in our country. The pendulum has begun swinging in earnest in the direction of progressive politics. Elections across the country are evidence of that. Dennis Hastert's seat won by a Dem, for example.

All the new voters are overwhelmingly progressive as shown in poll after poll and this has been going on for the last 5-6 yrs. Is it enough to elect Barack Obama?? I am not a fortune teller, so I don't know. But that doesn't matter. Trying to rope together enough of a coalition of older voters, less educated blue collar white people and telling the true progressives, this is the best you are going to get, so you have to vote for us, is not the way to go. It is not just the White House in 2008 that we need. We need a generation of Americans, one that is forming RIGHT NOW, before our very eyes to carry forth the progressive banner and shape our politics for decades.

Now is not the time to go weak in the knees and choose someone because we are afraid the *gasp* black man can't win. Now is the time to continue the hard work of forging this progressive movement by sending forth Barack Obama and standing for something other than triangulating, poll-testing, DLC Republican lite.

But if the Dems take the nomination from Obama, I fear that would be worse for the party than him losing in the General Election.

I am a white, 46 yr old man, born, raised and living in Atlanta, GA, so I feel completely entitled to say that, yes, Hillary has got the cracker vote. The ones who believe anonymous emails that say Obama is a Muslim and he won't say the Pledge of Allegiance or wear a flag pin, and that he is just basically a scary black man. In short, the stupidest people that live in this country. Isn't it great that Clinton supporters are completely throwing their last ditch pitch: "We have the idiot vote locked up!!"

This nomination was not decided by the 3 states you mention. Obama went on a serious roll after Super Tuesday. As to money, Hillary Clinton's war chest was every bit the equal of Obama's in January. Her campaign squandered the money on lavish events while assuming she would be the presumptive nominee after Super Tuesday. She herself said the nominee would be decided by Feb 5 on national TV.

All these were incorrect assumptions and it has cost her the nomination. I am fine with her staying in, butyI am not fine with her bogus scenarios about why the super delegates should negate the leader in pledged delegates, seat the FL and MI delegates as is, when (on national TV also) she said that those votes wouldn't count. Of course, that was before she was behind. Now we have to hear every possib le scenario from her about why she should win, when she has actually lost. I find that to be extremely problematic. posted 05/08/2008 at 11:17:00

Ed Koch: Obama Is A Sure Loser, Clinton Should Fight On

Would you explain how he did not win the nomination fairly and with merit?? I'd like to understand what you mean by that. posted 05/07/2008 at 22:06:13

Obama gains superdelegates after trading wins with Clinton

Agreed. Smarmy and mean spirited. posted 05/07/2008 at 18:41:40

I saw first hand when Bill made the statement that Jesse Jackson won SC twice. I am a 46 yr old white guy from Atlanta, GA. I knew right then what that meant. I did not need anyone to interpret that for me. There was no other reason to use jesse Jackson's 20 + yr old wins other than to point out that Barack Obama is black. Period.

Bubba started it and he knew EXACTLY what he was doing. posted 05/07/2008 at 18:34:59

It is maddening. CNN has the one black guy whose name I can't remember that is WAY too nice and doesn't mix it up with the Clinton hacks. It drives me nuts. posted 05/07/2008 at 18:25:49

Not only that. He went to the DNC, asked permission to run the ad because of the fact they would be shown in FL and he received it. posted 05/07/2008 at 18:23:33

I just have one fervent hope. That we can get the smirking and condescending Lanny Davis's mug OFF the air once and for all. That guy grates me no end. posted 05/07/2008 at 17:57:26

Game, Set, Match: North Carolina and Indiana Settled the Democratic Nomination

Use whatever logic you want, and I disagree with your analysis, but there is a bottom line that can't be ignored. The fact is, there is simply no way that the superdelegates are going to overturn a significant delegate lead. It is not going to happen, for a lot of reasons, one of the most obvious is that they will not alienate the most loyal Democratic voter constituency, African Americans. Like it or hate it, that is simply a fact.

All the spinning of numbers in the world is not going to change that. But really, counting votes from a state where a candidate wasn't even on the ballot is truly ludicrous and that is definitely not going to fly with the superdelegates. So my recommendation to you is to re-read the last sentence in your own post and ponder it. posted 05/07/2008 at 15:25:00

Hillary Clinton's Campaign Strategy: Are Harsh Attacks Over

Please, can we get away from this?? The campaigns have been waged. It is winding down. Do we really have to go to the bitter end with hatefulness and recriminations?? I certainly hope not. posted 05/07/2008 at 10:41:48

Donna Brazile, Paul Begala Angrily Spar Over Dem Stereotypes

Give me a break. Begala I can stomach. But Lanny Davis is the worst kind of hack. He constantly points out the most useless information to promote Clinton's cause and cherry picks polls that happen to favor his girl on a given day, only to desert them when they don't say what he wants the next day. The best thing about Obama's win will be that we get rid of these tired old Clinton machine hacks. posted 05/07/2008 at 10:03:03

Spinning? Fine. Spinning AND Lying? Not Cool.

So, you have a single article from Feb 7 (3 months ago) that you are using to refute a slew of independent polls over the last month/ 6 weeks. That's pretty weak stuff. posted 05/05/2008 at 08:54:10

The New Karl Rove: Sidney Blumenthal (And Hillary Is in Bed with Both of Them)

A Hillary supporter talking about blame? That's pretty funny. Hillary invented the concept of the "vast right wing conspiracy" which she blamed for all of Bill's problems.

Now she goes for their paper's endorsements. That says it all. posted 05/03/2008 at 14:35:16

Clinton seeks gas tax vote, Obama calls it 'shell' game

That means you use 380 gallons of gas per month. If you get 12 miles per gallon (a very low MPG rate), that means you drive 4500 miles per month. I find that to be a tad on the unbelievable side.

Even if you do drive 4500 miles per month, that is WAY more that the average american, who may drive 1000-1500 miles per month. I drive about 800-900 miles a month, presonally. Even at the top end of 1500 miles a month at only 12 miles per gallon (a very low MPG rate), that would be 1/3 of what you claim, which would be $21 a month. Again, that is on the HIGH side of driving (1500 miles per month) and with a pathetic 12 MPG vehicle. posted 05/03/2008 at 13:52:17

That is a great read/ view. Thank God for the few honest people left in news media, like Bill Moyers. posted 05/03/2008 at 13:43:01

McCain Implies Iraq War Is For Oil: Watch Video

This from the guy who supports the administration that SOLD Saddam the weapons he used to kill his own people (Reagan and Rummy). Remember the picture of Rummy in Iraq shaking Saddam's hand after we sold him the gas he used on the Kurds? Yeah, he was OK when he was OUR dictator, not so much when he freelanced.

But that's the problem with the idiot neocons. They ALWAYS forget that the dictators we support always end up off the reservation and out of control. From Chile in the '70s all the way through to Saddam in 2000's. DUH!

You chastising others is pathetic. It's never the people who create the problem who are wrong, right? Just the ones who point it out. posted 05/03/2008 at 14:03:19
