Report: Key Superdelegates Set To Endorse Obama When Time Is Right
Oh really. Then please explain why, when this race started, Hillary had 70% of the black vote? Blacks are voting for Obama because he has earned their vote and Hillary lost their vote.
You sound very much like a bigot. Perhaps you should go take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror. posted 04/25/2008 at 17:12:11

It may be in Clinton's benefit to continue, but it is not to the benefit of her party or her nation.
I also agree with a previous poster. She is dying a death of a thousand cuts. If she had super delegates who have pledged to her, she would be having them come out now. Not all of them, but enough to show that she still has some clout. posted 04/25/2008 at 17:07:42

Their reasons, ones they have held for months, have not changed - and by their very nature are unlikely to.
--------------------------
And what would those reasons be? If they are really supporting Obama, now is the time to step up to the plate. Don't they care how much damage is being done to the Democratic party by what they are doing?
I am so furious with Ron Wyden I send him daily e-mails telling him to $hit or get off the pot! posted 04/25/2008 at 17:03:37

McCain On Obama: "Clear Who Hamas Wants to be the Next President"

You just spoke to my biggest fear. I fear the day Obama actually becomes the candidate, his life will be in danger from that day forward. Between the racist nuts, crazy Hillary supporters, crazy neoCONs and just plain crazy people, I fear for Obama's health and safety. posted 04/25/2008 at 16:32:53

Krugman Hits Obama Over Working-Class Voters

The two negative ads that Reps in NC just ran.....now THAT is negative attack ads....Clinton has been playing softball with Obama and his glass jaw has already cracked.
----------------------------
And where is Clintons condemnation of the negative ads being run by the Republicans? McCain has condemned the ads. Clinton has been strangely silent.
And if you think that Clinton has been playing softball, you have a seriously distorted version of reality.
Obama does not have a glass jaw and it is not cracked. He is as strong, or even stronger than he ever was. The fact that he is where he is considering all the advantages Hillary had coming into this race is simply amazing.
So, let Clinton continue with her scorched earth policy. She and her minions like you don't seem to recognize that the more mud she slings the higher her disapproval ratings go. posted 04/25/2008 at 12:06:54

I have not seen ANY Obama supporter do anything other than criticize Hillary for her scorched earth tactics like saying only she and McCain have passed the "commander in chief" test or having her husband say that only McCain and Hillary love America. They have also criticized Hillary for her lies and distortions (Bosnia, NAFTA, Irish peace process, SCHIP, etc).
We would like Hillary to quit before she weakens Obama to the point where McCain may win. You would be saying the same thing if the positions were reversed, where Hillary clearly had the numbers on their side and Obama was hanging on while bashing Hillary.
Be honest with yourself. Sit back and reverse the situation. Put Hillary where Obama is and Obama where Hillary is. Would you really not be suggesting that Obama drop out for the good of the Democratic party and for the good of this nation?
I have another question for you. Why do the Republicans so desperately want Hillary to win? Do you think it is because they like her? Also, why are so many Republicans re-registering just to vote for Hillary? Is it because they like her? posted 04/25/2008 at 12:03:15

But, but, I thought Clinton was thoroughly vetted. I heard Randy Rhodes read an article by someone (I forget who and really wish I remembered) who made a list of things about Clinton that have come out since the primary started and another list of things the Republicans will be bringing up if she is the candidate. Things like what she did as an attorney before she went into politics (she defended corporations and rapists), the fact that she sat on the Board of Walmart, how her inability to organize well and her secrecy caused her health care plan to crash & burn, on and on and on. In actuality Hillary has many more things in her background that the Republicans can exploit that does Obama. posted 04/25/2008 at 11:50:50
And nevermind the destruction of the Democratic party. If her scorched earth policies damage Obama to the point where McCain wins, the Democratic party will be virtually destroyed. The people who supported Obama will probably leave and start their own party.
Also, if Hillary thinks she can come back in 2012 and run after destroying this country and the Democratic party, she is way more delusional than I thought. posted 04/25/2008 at 11:48:00

I think part of the problem is Obama's style of speaking. It is boring.
--------------------------
Boring, huh. Then why does Obama regularly pack auditoriums? He spoke in Eugene and packed the place. There were another 1,000 people outside listening on loud speakers. posted 04/25/2008 at 11:46:17

Democrats Launch Ad Targeting McCain

I would love to see the photoshopped version of that photo, but that's not going to happen. It would be considered obscene. What is obscene is the fact that McBush could even hug George after what they did to him in the 2000 campaign. That alone would disqualify McBush for me if I was a conservative. posted 04/25/2008 at 10:57:54

It's about time. The should have started running ads like this a month ago. Now, how about an ad that shows McCain saying something, and then later saying the opposite. It would have to be a half hour ad, but they could just start a series of 30 second ads. At the end the ad should say "John McCain, maverick or panderer?" posted 04/25/2008 at 10:52:47

And as far as I can see, he is pretty much the only one who has been reporting on this atrocity. And then there's the Bushies using Generals for propaganda. Another topic that has been ignored by the MSM. Another story that Keith covered on Countdown. If you want to know what is going on in the world around you there are two places to find out, the internet and Countdown. posted 04/25/2008 at 16:19:29

Clinton Debt $5 Million Higher Than Reported

It would be nice if that was what they are doing with the money. Unfortunately it is not. They are not paying off their debts, they are using the money to continue her campaign. I wonder if some of those little guys who made the mistake of extending her credit will ever be paid. Will she be willing to dip into her personal wealth to pay her creditors when she finally bows out? I doubt it. posted 04/25/2008 at 16:59:59
Unfortunately until we have public financing of presidential campaigns, that is the way it will be. But, which would you rather have? A candidate that is spending corporations money on their race or a candidate who is spending money given to him by "we the people"? Personally I'll pick the candidate who is being supported by the people before the candidate who is being supported by the corporations.
That candidate is Barack Obama. I have him on an automatic contribution every month until the election in November. I wonder how many people have done that for Hillary? posted 04/25/2008 at 16:58:26

They are cowards. They want to come down on the winning side and they are not yet convinced that Clinton can pull a rabbit out of the hat. All it says is that these people have no courage and ethics. I can't believe that each and every super delegate doesn't already know who they support. So every day they wait to make their endorsement makes them more and more of a coward.
I live in Oregon and I am very angry with Ron Wyden for being one of these cowards. I write him daily telling him that. posted 04/25/2008 at 16:53:48

So, why is that all she is willing to loan to her campaign? Hill and Bill have collected $110 million since he left office (probably more since they haven't released their 2007 taxes). Romney believed in his campaign enough to loan it $42 million but all Hill and Bill are willing to spend is $5 million?
They seem pretty happy blowing through the contributions people like you make to her campaign, while she stiffs the vendors that extended her credit. But she's not willing to invest her own money in her campaign. Is that OK with you? posted 04/25/2008 at 16:49:14

Also, one has to wonder why they won't loan themselves more money out of that $110 million. Romney loaned his campaign $ 48 million. And he's eating it because he didn't have that amount of money left in his war chest to pay himself back.
So, why doesn't Bill and Hill have enough faith in her campaign to loan it more money? They seem content to blow through their donors money and stiff their creditors, but they won't spend another penny of their ill-gotten gains. posted 04/25/2008 at 16:46:38

At least Obama pays his bills. Your gal Hillary, on the other hand, is stiffing her creditors to the tune of $10 million. This is the woman who wants to be President and cares about the little guy. A large majority of the creditors on her list ARE the little guy and she is putting their businesses in jeopardy.

She had 9 million on hand at the beginning of April. If you think she still has that 9 million after running her campaign in PA, you are dreaming.
And I disagree with you. Debt does matter because she has a moral obligation to pay the people who extended her credit. Do you really think she told them "extend me credit now and I'll pay you when the campaign is over"?
I certainly hope that the vendors she contacts in the next round of primaries are smart enough to make her pay cash for their services. posted 04/24/2008 at 14:00:00

Kieth was talking to Howard Feinman who has a lot of contacts in the Senate and the House and he said that there is already evidence that she is going to pay big for her traitorous actions.

They are not discounting white working class. They are only pointing out the truth. The white working class more often than not votes Republican even though it is not in their financial interest to do so. They consistently allow gays, guns and religion to dictate what party they vote for even though by doing so they are dooming themselves to a life of poverty and dooming their children to a similar life.
If you take the time to listen to Obama you will see that he truly is the candidate who will help the working class in America. He will end tax breaks to companies that send good jobs over seas. He will pump more money into our educational system so more people can pull themselves out of poverty. If you think Hillary will do any of these things, you really do need to get a clue. posted 04/23/2008 at 19:56:00

Ball Is Now in Obama's Court
Every single state Obama has won has been impressive considering how little people knew about him when he started his race. He didn't have the "name" factor, he didn't have the huge Democratic machine behind him and he didn't have an ex who was once President. Even though he was at that much a disadvantage he is currently the front runner and will certainly be the Democratic nominee for President. All that is not only impressive, it is also amazing.
Now, I hope he lives long enough to take office. My fear is that some nutso Hillary supporter or some nutso racist will attempt to assassinate him. The closer he gets to the nomination, the more danger he is in. Once he gets the nomination, that's when the real danger begins. posted 04/23/2008 at 18:54:07

The people who did it in Ohio were actually committing a felony, even though they will never be prosecuted.

You can add to that the fact that many long-time Democrats (in Obama territory) found that they were no longer on the voter registration list and many newly registered Democrats (again many Obama supporters) found that they were missing too. And most of them WERE NOT given provisional ballots. Even if they had been given the ballots, Obama's name wasn't even on many of them.

Sorry, HP did not say she is ahead, they said she is claiming she is ahead. She has to do some pretty fuzzy math to get there though. She has to totally ignore the caucus states (what about that "disenfranchisement" Hillary?) and then give herself all the popular vote from both MI and FL.
No one is going to buy it. If there had been real campaigns in MI and FL and everyone's names were on the ballots, Clinton would be way behind in the popular vote today. And then if you were to award the caucus states a representational number of popular votes, she would be dust. posted 04/23/2008 at 17:56:30

He's better off paying attention to the things that are really important to the people in this country (Iraq, economy, environment, etc) and stay above the gutter politics of the Republican party and Hillary Rove Clinton. posted 04/23/2008 at 17:46:44

Oh, I see, it is racist that 90% of the black vote goes to Obama. I guess you aren't aware of the fact that when this race started Hillary had 70% of the black vote. What happened is that Obama earned the black vote away from Hillary. They were hers to lose and she did just that.
There is nothing racist about 90% of blacks voting for Obama, they just think he is the best candidate.
Just like it's not sexist that Hillary wins a majority of the women vote. They just think she is the best candidate. posted 04/23/2008 at 15:13:27

The "Dems" didn't tell Michigan and Florida that they can vote. Those states chose to hold an election even though they knew that the election would not count. They knew that when they went into the election and they know it now.
And, this has nothing to do with who will carry the states in November. Hopefully the people in these states care about what has happened and what can happen further to this once great country and will vote accordingly. If they choose to vote for McCain in spite, then they deserve what will happen to them. Unfortunately the same thing will happen to the rest of use. I have faith that the Democrats in Florida and Michigan will do the right thing in the end. posted 04/23/2008 at 15:10:15

Since "Barry" isn't losing, there is nothing to swallow. On the other hand Hillary has lost. She hasn't the money and she hasn't the support.
How come Hillary with her name recognition, 35 years of experience and the backing of heavy hitter Democrats hasn't been able to "close the deal".
How come Hillary can't pay her bills? How come Obama can fund raise so much better than she can? How come Hillary has tapped out her large donors and doesn't have the small donors to fill the gap?

So Hill, what about all the people in the caucus states who didn't get to vote. You are counting the delegates in the state as popular votes. A better barometer would be the polls at the time the caucus happened and a snapshot of voting trends in the state. If you do that, Obama is ahead by millions of votes.

Clinton Camp Misrepresents ABC's Popular Vote Tally
In order for that scenario to work, Hillary totally dismisses the caucus states. I guess they don't count since they are not in her court. I read an article that said if the caucus states were turned into popular vote, based on polling data and past turnout at elections, Obama would be way ahead of Hillary in the popular vote even if you did include MI and FL.

Bingo! My daughter lives in California and she knows lots of people who are sooooo sorry they voted for Hillary. Another problem in California was also early voting. Many people voted for Hillary way before Obama ever even came to the state.
All the people my daughter knows (including herself) will be campaigning if Obama wins and staying home if he loses. They will probably vote for Hillary if they have to but they certainly won't be involved in the political process. That would be such a shame because this country certainly needs all the help it can get and having the help of the young would be a great benefit. posted 04/23/2008 at 19:37:45

Clinton says tide is turning
Then there is the inconvenient fact that many registered Democrats showed up to vote to find that they were either not on the roster or were shown to be registered other than Democrat. This was true for people who have been registered Democrat for a long time as well as newly registered voters. Another inconvenient truth was that Obama's name wasn't on many of the provisional ballots passed out and that many people were denied a provisional ballot when they asked for them.
I wonder how all that happened? Just coincidence? Sounds like Clinton and the Republicans formed an unholy alliance in PA to get Clinton elected. posted 04/23/2008 at 12:19:58

I disagree. He would be stupid to put her on as VP. And I think you worry too much about the divisiveness that Clinton has caused in the party. I truly think that once the ugliness is gone, the party will unite once again. The only thing that could stop that would be if Clinton refused to back Obama, or if she chooses to launch a third party candidacy. I believe in the Democratic party and I believe that once the race starts between McCain and Obama, the Hillary supporters will see how bad it would be if they either didn't vote or voted for McCain. I just hope that they can get over their inherent racism. That's the biggest hurdle in my mind. posted 04/23/2008 at 13:12:26

Clinton wants to count the popular vote in MI and FL. But she also wants to totally ignore the caucus states. They don't count in her book, because she didn't win there. I read recently that if we were to convert the caucus states to a popular vote, based on the polls before the caucus and past voting patterns in the state, that Obama would have a popular vote lead on Clinton of over one million votes!

Pennsylvania Primary Results: HuffPost Bloggers Weigh In
She did win. But in the grand scheme of things it means nothing. She is driving a wedge down the middle of the Democratic party and she is spending time we should be using to defeat John McCain. Every day she keeps this going is one less day we can be concentrating on McCain. It's also costing Obama money he can spend to beat McCain. Hillary is in it for her ego, not for her country. That's what makes many of us here very angry.
BTW, Obama has outspent Hillary in every state they have competed in. He has to because he is fighting her name recognition. He has to spend the money to introduce himself to the people in the states where he runs. And the end result is that they like him and vote for him. That's how he cut Hillary's large lead in PA in half. posted 04/23/2008 at 16:38:36

If Hillary has so many supporters who love her and want her to go on, where's the money? Why is Obama still getting 10 times as much in campaign donations as Hillary is? Of course Obama spent a lot more than Hillary. He had to. He came into PA virtually an unknown to the state whereas Hillary was the favorite daughter.
As far as your reference to Obama's "concession speech", you are acting like he lost the election. This was one state. If you go back and listen to all the speeches Hillary gave after losing a state to Obama, not one of them could be called a concession speech. Do you consider that disingenuous?
Finally, he didn't try to bankrupt the Clinton campaign. She did that to herself. She's out of money and there are not over a million voters who are sending her $25-$100 a month to keep her going (like Obama has). She doesn't even think enough of her campaign to put some of the $110 million that HIll and Bill have collected since Bill left office into her campaign. If she truly believes in herself and her campaign, she should be willing to spend some of her money to keep on going. Instead she keeps spending her donors money and going deeper and deeper into debt. It's no wonder that she can't find any new donors. posted 04/23/2008 at 16:34:28
