Obama Memo: 17 Pledged Delegates Away From Winning Primaries

What Does the Future Hold for Hillary's Surrogates?
There's a difference between wanting the VOTERS and wanting the SURROGATES. The topic is the surrogates, and that they may not be welcome, but the voters will be. Please stay on point of issue - your posting makes no sense and is not relevant. Or was that arrogant of me to point out?

I would DEFINATELY trust them...
To undermine the campaign, try to get insider information to feed to the Republican campaign and slime machine, and to make sure that Barack is destroyed from within, and loses in 2008, so their Borg Queen can run again in 2012 on the "I-told-you-so-Shoulda-voted-for-me-What-did-all-that-hope-get-you-when-McCain-won" platform.
Hmmmm... And yes, I really do think she's sneaky enough to try this. And if she got elected in 2012, she and Bill would just issue Presidential Pardons to the 100s of people that broke laws, so that she and Bill could not get indicted for their part in the crimes. posted 05/16/2008 at 01:10:51

Is Clinton Looking For An "I Told You So" Moment?
If Hillary is staying it to support a 2012 Presidential run, in the hopes that Barack is defeated by McCain: The only thing that makes sense for Hillary to do is to make sure that Barack will NOT WIN in November. If this is her position, it makes sense that she direct her staff (for plausible deny-ability) to dig up as much mud as possible on Barack, and give it to the Republicans to use against him in the general. There are things that I bet she wishes she could have said on TV, but didn't want to appear more Republican in her tactics. If she wants 2012, she will be forced to be the 'secret informant' working with the most repugnant of Republican slime machines in an attempt to distroy Obama.
Only then would she be able to run against McCain in 2012, telling us all that we should have believed her in 2008 and that we were stupid to place our faith in someone that wanted to change Washington, running on a platform of hope. I think this is all very sad, and is a perfect example of a zero-sum game where for her to win, someone (or some party) must be split apart and destroyed. Only with the preceding path will she be able to run on a platform of "I told you so".
I'd like to hear some logic-based replied from current Clinton supporters. posted 05/14/2008 at 11:15:15

"Saturday Night Live's" Message From Hillary Clinton: "I Have No Ethical Standards" (VIDEO)
Wow! You'll really be surprised if you go over to the Republicans. I know - I just left there because I was finally SICKENED to the point that I would consider another party. I'm lucky Obama came along, or I wouldn't have anybody to vote for. Families? If you want a political party to care about your family, you better have a net worth of over $5 million unless you have an unwanted, unborn child, which they would force you to have instead of abort, leaving you to raise it and become the next generation of working poor. Their support of "families' is marginal. If you're lucky, your kids won't have to leard about genetics or evolution or birth control or STD's, and won't have art, science, math, music, drama, or even recess during primary school. Sounds GREAT!
McCain has changed his opinion on every issue because of political expediency except one: that he'll go ahead and violate campaign law and then his cronies will make sure the FEC stays understaffed so he can't get charged with anything. Good move for a Republican, actually. If you really liked Bush/Cheney, I'm sure you should consider moving red and voting for McCain.
If you did like Bush/Cheney, then I'm sure nobody up here would be sorry to see you leave - and take your opinion with you for that matter.
Or, you're just 'rattling your saber' about not voting for Obama. Another good, solid, Republican strategy. Run for state congress! posted 05/13/2008 at 10:55:34

I don't buy it. I think that Hillary said what she thinks privately: that all blacks, hispanics and asians are lazy and can't work hard. She may say differently in public most of the time, but I really think she's finally told us how she feels.

Hillary wants to break the 'glass ceiling'. Well, since she can't be President, she might try an even higher glass ceiling - POPE! She'd have to drop out of that nutjob "The Family" church/PAC that runs the prayer breakfasts, tho.
If she spent enough time trying to become Catholic, it might work. The first woman Pope. That's a ton of power - and the position is for life, which would appeal to the Clintons. Instead of getting the Presidential Pardon, I bet she and Bill could find hundreds of people to excommunicate! Fun for the whole family!
The best way for her to clinch a Pope nod from the college of cardinals would be for her to fly to Bosnia and hope that she got stigmata while landing.

Will Obama Win Enough White Votes to Beat McCain?
Now, I'm not an expert in logic, but if I read it correctly and draw the obvious inference:
Hillary thinks (twice in one interview) that people who are not white don't work hard. Blacks? Apparently you're lazy. Latinos? Stop slouching. Asian? Get a job.
Hillary said: I'm popular with hard working people - you know - whites.
Does this bother anybody but me? posted 05/09/2008 at 19:15:59

Clinton's Open Letter To Obama On MI and FL

Reconciliation from the Bottom Up
Reconciliation not only MUST but WILL occur from the ground up. I, an over-educated, elitist, latte-drinking, Republican-turned-Democrat-because-of-Obama, a voter in one of those states that "Does Not Count", hereby swear that I will stop correcting grammar and pointing out stupid logical flaws of Hillary supporters, and will start treating them nice. We all need to come together, as you said.
That's bottom-up reconciliation. This means, also, that I will not stop saying that Hillary is a self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing divider, who is willing to do anything to win at whatever game she plays. Bill and Hillary have the same philosophy in business: too bad for them they lost the Presidential pardon and can't silence the courts anymore with hundreds of pardons to cover their tracks. She's just lost too much political capital now to be effective in the short run. She'll have to go back to NY as junior Senator and actually write some legislation that has nationwide, important impact.
For now, I will do what the article asks, and support from the bottom up. Bottom-up does not, by definition, mean that we have to start thumping our chests telling each other how great Bill and Hillary are in some kind of revisionist daze. I will continue to hold the Clintons in odious contempt, where they belong, butI will embrace her supporters. posted 05/08/2008 at 11:03:11

I think most of the Obama supporters saying they don't want their money to go to Clinton are blowing hot air. This argument is made from the same place emotionally as "if X isn't the nominee, I'll vote for McCain".
If we started an internet donation site, and you could get Hillary out of the race for $25, would you donate? Yes. Well, we have that site, and it's called barackobama.com.

Game, Set, Match: North Carolina and Indiana Settled the Democratic Nomination
It's my firm belief that Hillary called for donations last night so that she can repay herself - and only THEN withdraw from the primary.
She's probably working on some deals right now with the DNC along the lines of:
1) Buy my candidacy out and bring us out of debt and I'll withdraw
2) Give me the Majority leader spot even tho I'm a junior Senator
3) Let me be the Governor of NY
Or something else. She WILL NOT WITHDRAW until she's gotten her money back and achieved some amount of political gain in some fashion. posted 05/07/2008 at 13:50:38

The Greatest Endorsement of All
Hillary is definately in it for herself, but let's be realistic. As soon as the May 20th primaries are over, and BHO has a majority of pledged delegates, there is no option available to HIllary other than the "nuclear option." We'll see a stream of SD's flow to Obama over the next two weeks, and a flood after that.
She will be working on:
1) Getting her $5 million or $11 million out via donations (which she just called for last night). Or perhaps getting BHO to buy her campaign out, or getting the DNC to buy her campaign out of debt.
2) Striking a deal with the DNC and party leaders, seeking majority leader or NY Governor, or something else to her liking.
3) Using a withdrawal from the campaign to increase her political capital and put some 'favors' back in her political bank.
4) Using a promise to back Barack 100% as a negotiating tool with the same people, so that she gains even more political capital.
Yes, it's a bit pessimistic and small-minded, but I've learned from the Clintons that they will try and profit and take favors even in the middle of a negative situation. She WILL HOLD OUT until she gets them. posted 05/07/2008 at 14:08:22

I'm Just Sayin': Open Letter to Superdelegates
Either candidate will be chosen by the UberDelegates. Both Hillary and Barack have the same situation, in that neither of them will reach 2024 pledge delegates by June.
Choice one is to declare Obama the nominee, as he has the most votes, the most delegates, the most states, and is geared to put into action a massive fundraising machine for the general election.
Choice two is to declare Hillary the nominee, overrule the clear wishes of a majority of people. The problem doing this is that it's what the Electoral College did when that gave Bush the Presidency and took the decision away from the people. To do the same thing intra-party would mean that the party was no better, and had learned nothing, and would be a defacto declaration giving up all its principals.
Choice two is not a good option unless you want McCain in Office and a third war in Iran. posted 05/01/2008 at 21:08:13

Party Leaders To Hear Florida, Michigan Delegate Challenges
I hope somebody somewhere starts a third party. Maybe Barack can run as a "Nationalist" or as a "Whig" or something else for his re-election in 2012. I bet he could start the party and take a good 25% of congress with him in a hearbeat. That would shake things up a bit. Pehaps it's time that the Democratic party withers and dies, and something new (and effective) takes its place.

I don't think that 50/50 is fair, and Hillary will certainly never accept it. What might be more fair is to allocate at the percentages that they have earned overall in all contests in all states so far. Hillary would unfortunately not accept this either, because BHO would end up with 52.8% of all delegates to Hillary's 47.2%.
I would like to see it if ALL delegates were given a WHOLE count, not a half, and that Barack conceded to Hillary a 60/40 split in her favor. What would this mean to the count after ?
BHO ends up with (including endorsed SD's) 1902. Hillary would have 1729. This brings BHO only 123 delegates from the requiremed 2024. There are 408 pledged delegates left and 225 SD's. I think he could somehow manage to garner 19% of the remaining.
Again, if you look at the math, it's pretty clear that HIllary is just talking to talk, and by actually getting FL and MI seated would make her downfall happen more quickly.
I'm so sick of listening to her. The math just doesn't add up. But of course, I can add and subtract and think critically, so that probably makes me 'elitist' anyway, right? posted 04/27/2008 at 13:09:45

Again, if you look at the math, it's pretty clear that HIllary is just talking to talk, and by actually getting FL and MI seated would make her downfall happen more quickly.
I'm so sick of listening to her. The math just doesn't add up. But of course, I can add and subtract and think critically, so that probably makes me 'elitist' anyway, right? posted 04/27/2008 at 13:09:45

Thank you Brad Henry
You could have listed to the Obama blog-junkies (I am one) and voted with your constituency.

Thank you for listening to Hillary's advice, and in doing so, chose Barack Obama, the person that will best be able to deliver a Democratic White house in November. posted 04/23/2008 at 10:56:17

The Same Old Story: Discrediting Hillary
Yes, she has been scrutinized for years. Largely for failures or scandals or fraudulent business deals of her own making. The only difference is now they've lost the Presidential pardon and can't hush the voices. I'm certain the if Hillary is the nominee, we'll see a lot more about Peter Paul, and millions of dollars coming to the Clinton library from the middle east.
Nothing that Barack has done is anywhere close to as bad as the things that she has done herself! That's why most of the campaign has been guilt by association attacks - he just has not done that many things that can be considered 'wrong'. posted 04/23/2008 at 10:43:15

Was Race a Strong Factor in Clear Clinton Win in Pennsylvania?
"White" is vague now. It was not always. There was a time when Irish and Italian and German were not considered white. There was a quote from somebody I don't remember that said "now that Kennedy is President, Irish are finally white". That wasn't the distant past. We are lucky that over time we are all coming togather. It's hard for us today to not call Irish or Germans "white", but that has not always been the case. Now, many light-skinned hispanics are even called white. Who would have thought!
But the darker the skin, the deeper the predjudice. We might "accept" a few shades darker each decade, but there's a long way to go. posted 04/23/2008 at 11:44:58

Well, happydayz, if you don't lose the faith I won't. I've voted Republican my whole life, and I knew exactly what I was doing: voting for a scheming, lying, sack-of-bull who could get the job done. I just can't take it anymore, and for all the talk about how this primary has ruined the Democrats, I'm a recent convert to the party, and I see it thriving and well. Just give it some time to heal after BHO gets the nomination and rank and file will happen.
What has really driven me out of the Republican party is that it has been hijacked by the religious ultra-right. They're just as bad as Al-Sadyr in my opionion. That party is really fracturing and has been since Reagan. Keep the faith.
Let me tell you, it was REALLY HARD to sign my name on the Democratic Party pledge on my ballot when I voted but I did it because I believe in Barack Obama and his ability to change Washington's status quo. Don't give up and leave me here alone after just joining the party!
We can do it. You'll see. posted 04/23/2008 at 00:32:10

Democrats Clinton, Obama collide in Pennsylvania primary
The really big point made by Chris Matthews last night was this: all of the polls may be skewed, because they rely on landline phones. Many people under 40, typically voting for Obama, only use cell phones and haven't had a landline in years. His thought that was because of this sampling, we might just have some surprizes tonight.
I think he's on to something here - perhaps the sampling methods are fundamentally skewed to an older demographic due to their inability to reach younger voters without a home phone. posted 04/22/2008 at 11:16:42

Obama Criticizes Debate, Attacks Clinton For Being "In Her Element"
I'm an Obama supporter and I did not like the 'debate'. No surprise. But I did not like it because it was not a debate. A debate is where an impartial moderator (unlike Stephasnuffalupagus who was Clinton's Media chief) asks a germain question to two or more people, and they take turns stating their opinion, then cross examining each other. There was no debate at all at the debate!
First, George should have recused himself from the debate because even the appearance of impartiality is bad, whether pro-obama or pro-hillary. Second, the so-called debate should have been called the trivia-pick-apart game, not a debate.
As far as them ganging up on Obama, bring it on! He handled it well, and 6 (six!) new superdelegates endorsed him this week. He's only down by 19 SD's, and he's actually ahead in SD's who are elected to office. Not to shabby.
I'm looking forward to a REAL DEBATE between Obama and McCain. posted 04/18/2008 at 11:37:16

I'm not whining, so don't use the word "all". Generalizations are the tools of unplanned thoughts.
I'm actually quite proud of my candidate, who has been able to bring a 20% lead down to a 9.2% result. Quite a nice showing, considering that the state is perfect for Clinton.
And as a side-note, Obama was able to do in PA what the US was able to do to the USSR, that brought about it's collapse: he outspent her and bankrupted her campaign. Even with her $2.5 million last night, her campaign is still roughly $4 million in debt. And at a collection rate of $1.5 million a day into Obama's existing $41 million, I think he'll do just fine. posted 04/23/2008 at 11:08:26

I have voted extensively for Republicans, so let me tell you how we think: In chosing between neo-conservatives, we will choose the one in red. If we buy Hillary's experience argument, we'll take John's 26 years in the Senate. If we want to talk about foreign experience, we'll take John's 5 1/2 years as a POW to prove he has the mettle necessary instead of Hillary's cake-and-tea parties as first lady. You posit that a Republican with an open mind on this site might be willing to actually take a look at Hillary as an option. You are wrong.
Fortunately for this country, there are moderate Republicans who feel that the party has been hijacked by ultra-religious hyper-Christians who have no grasp on the realities of the world. I for one think that Hagee, Parsley, etc. are just a few steps away in their religious ferver and cranial-rectaposis (head in ass) from the leaders of other radical faiths say, Muqtada Al-Sadr.
To be short: we do not hate Hillary, it's just that if we want someone like her, we'd rather have McCain, who is the real deal. If you want deviciveness, backroom politics, 100's of Presidential pardons and sneaky business deals, we'll vote Red, thank-you, not for a member of the DLC, a profiteer pretending to be a Democrat. posted 04/15/2008 at 12:09:58

Female Clinton Supporters Fear Campaign Has Unleashed Sexist Backlash
I don't want Hillary for nominee. It has nothing to do with her "lack of a penis". I prefer to judge people on the content of their character, not the color of their skin or their reproductive plumbing. This is why I won't vote for Hillary: her character is, has always been, and will forever be, divisive and sneaky.
The only reason that she and Bill are not in a Federal Prison right now is because of the Presidential Pardon. Just google "Clinton Pardon" and read up on some of the people the choose to do business with. Nothing has stuck to her because she's really good at loopholes, avoiding process servers, and misplacing files.
I despise what Hillary is, how she does things, and what she stands for as a person. I respect many of her policies and I have no problem voting for a woman. I have a problem voting for someone who clearly needs to have inpatent treatment for being a "sneaky-aholic".

Just ask the Cherokee and Sioux. America has done wonderful things for them. And we still celebrate Columbus day, honoring the ONLY person in recorded history to successfully commit genocide and destroy all members of a civilization.
And whenever I go to the Puyallup State Fairgrounds in Washington, I get to look at the 20' high walls of the compound that used to be a Japanese concentration camp during WWII. Now we judge pigs and chickens there, and sometimes we bring in the Beach Boys... posted 03/28/2008 at 12:29:57

Hillary's Honorable Future: A History Lesson
Hillary says that not counting the votes of FL and MI would be to disenfranchise those voters. The mother of all disenfranchisements would be to ignore ALL of the votes, right? So by the same logic, Hillary should support whoever has the most votes, and not try to overturn a popular vote with SuperDelegate votes.
Florida and Michigan disenfranchised themselves when they knowingly broke the rules. To overturn the will of the people (popular votes and delegate count) would disenfranchise all of America against their will.
If she does this, she will be known in history books as the "Great Disenfranchiser" posted 03/28/2008 at 12:21:32

Clinton In Bosnia: New Video Of First Lady Under Sniper Attack
If she bases her legitamacy on her foreign policy experience, then this is fair game. So is Lord Trimble calling her a bit silly about being instrumental in N Ireland. So is Sinbad saying the scariest part of the trips was finding a good restaurant. Nobody but Hillary said that this was the most important issue. Don't build your house on sand, by the way...
Speaking of foreign policy experience didn't she miss the THREE times her Senate committe met on Afghanistan? And then faulted Obama for not holding a hearing on Afghanistan even though he's on the EUROPEAN subcomitte? Nice work, Hill. Politics of deception, politics as usual.
It's time for a change. posted 03/27/2008 at 15:23:10

Bill Clinton To Obama Campaign: "Let's Just Saddle Up And Have An Argument"
She's the oldest, ugliest, meanest girl I've ever seen. I think that the MSM should start calling her girl. Maybe the BHO campain should run the ad "Do you want a half-black man or a girl?" Let's get this really ugly, Bill! YEAH! WHOO HOO! Then you can all be like the Karl Rove Republican candidates that you are.
Oh wait, Karl said that Hillary was finished already. I guess you're in a ditch and you're still digging, Billy. posted 03/27/2008 at 11:10:23

Clinton Owes Obama An Apology
Islam is a religion, not a race. The only 'race' that equates itself with religion is judaism. There are lots of people who have an Islamic family and consider themselves Kenyans or Americans, or whatever else.
He's half-black, half-white, not half-Muslim. That said, there's nothing wrong with Islam, and many Muslims are good people. But the Bush war machine has taught America to fear Islam as a whole, and not just the extremists moving for muhejedeen. posted 03/27/2008 at 11:27:47

Clinton Donors Object to Pelosi Comment
I used to think that having big wealthy groups in power calling the shots was OK. I used to think that having a President be able to lie, cover up, and get away with it were prerequisites. Barack Obama came on the scene at just the right time. Here's one man who wants to fundamentally change the way the country is run - and it's not just about 'lobbyists and special interests'. It's about the super-rich running BOTH parties deciding what policy should be.
I wanted the Majestic 12 (google it) style of government because I thought that it worked. Well, it's time for a change, and Barack's my man. I switched parties because of him. Barack is tha only candidate that wants to restore habeus corpus - and he's probably the only candidate that really understands what that is and how our civil liberties have been eroded under Bush. I do not want a Fascist state under the guise of Democracy any longer.
What Barack has done has torn political power from the hands of the few and given it to the wallets of over a million citizens. If he can do this in a campaign, I believe that he can do the same in Washington. posted 03/27/2008 at 10:54:36

Time for Superdelegates to Ratify Obama's Insurmountable Pledged Delegate Lead and Settle the Democratic Nomination
He's not. First, the FL and MI parties elected to move their primaries and knew that there would be consequences. Second, all candidates and the DNC and the two state parties agreed in 2007 that FL and MI would not count. Third, the Legislatures of FL and MI blocked a re-vote. Fourth, Barack has been sceptical of a few proposals that were put forth for legitimate reasons.
Some of those reasons have to do with excluding voters in MI, and the ability of FL to pull off an accurate mail-in ballot system on short notice. If you remember "hanging chads", you'll understand why there is some doubt about the ability of FL to effectively manage the process.
Neither Hillary nor Barack get to "say what happens", regardless of how many times Hillary says it on TV. We're a country of laws, and everybody has to play by the rules, even if it hurts. posted 03/26/2008 at 15:11:22

"younger" idiots. What, are you 85? Never gonna vote a black man in office? Greatest Generation my ass. People like you make me sick. Do you want us to repeal the 15th amendment so blacks can't vote? Maybe that's Hillary's next tactic. She's already said that black states don't count, so why not just repeal the 15th? I'm sure you wouldn't mind if we brought slavery back too.

I'm guessing that you are 1) older 2) white, and 3) blue-collar? Am I right? Most "typical white persons" in America would never vote for a black man, and that's just the sad truth of several generations of Americans that are still around. If you did a bit of research on Obama and read or watched the whole sermons from Rev. Wright, you might actually (God forbid!) inform your opionion and it may change. Conversely, if you do a bit of research on Hillary, all you find is more lies and deceptions.

A Few Unanswered Questions About Bill Richardson's Obama Endorsement
There's nothing "backroom" or "cigar-filled" about 131 people coming out in the last 60 days endorsing Obama to Hillary's 73. Read their stories - each has a reason to endorse Obama, and none of them have to do with past political favors or cronyism. These people are choosing Obama because they see that with Obama we have a chance of getting above the partisanship and secret deals.

Most of the disrespectful treatment to Hillary came from her own husband, if you ask me.

The only validity of your point is that somehow white americans and the media are quick to downplay white preachers, but they are scared SH*TLESS of angry black men. I think that your statment of exception proves the rule, and as Sen. Obama said in his speech, the time to talk about predjudice and double-standards of all forms has come.
Obviously for you it has not. My hope is that the "general public" are not still a bunch of noose-slinging pitchfork-carrying led-by-hate-and-fear small minded bigots. So far, Mr. Obama is ahead in states, delegates, and in the popular vote. I see that as progress. posted 03/20/2008 at 19:48:43
