What a bunch of crazies
[Read the article: Clinton: "I am in this race"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Everyone, EVERYONE says that after the primary is over, Obama's numbers will begin to rise and McCain's will fall.
McCain's will drop because he finally start taking some hits, Obama's will rise because, though you can't tell it from her supporters on this site, Hillary's supporters will start rallying around the candidate.
OK.
So where are the polls right now?
Every single poll taken during the height of the "Wright stuff" show no statistical difference nationally between Obama's numbers Vs. McCain and Clinton Vs. McCain.
Swing states are about even as well. No where are Obama's number so low that they can't be pulled up. In fact, Obama is doing better against McCain in states where Clinton doesn't have a chance; CO, VA, OR, MN, NM all states Clinton is losing and Obama doing better or tied with McCain. SC, NB, and TX, are statistically tied between McCain and Obama!
So for the life of me I don't understand how Hillary Clinton's tough as nails supporters suddenly became defeatist.
My hunch is the sting of her defeat is causing a bit of anxiety. For her supporters, seeing Hillary Clinton lose has shaken their confidence in the process.
Don't worry, it'll pass. But first they'll have to get over thinking of Obama supporter as pod people.
Less than a month ago, Santa Mira was like any other town. People with nothing but problems. Then, out of the sky came a solution. Seeds drifting through space for years took root in a farmer's field. From the seeds came pods which had the power to reproduce themselves in the exact likeness of any form of life...Your new bodies are growing in there. They're taking you over cell for cell, atom for atom. There is no pain. Suddenly, while you're asleep, they'll absorb your minds, your memories and you're reborn into an untroubled world...Tomorrow you'll be one of us...There's no need for love...Love. Desire. Ambition. Faith. Without them, life is so simple, believe me.
Join us!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hillary is a Winner...Sure why not?
[Read the article: Clinton: "I am in this race"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Everyone's a winner these days. They teach that to the kids in school now. Give a little award to all the players, they're all winners yay!!
But in a adult, more realistic way, Hillary has lost.
There are five stages of grief my friend:
Denial:
Anger:
Bargaining:
Depression
Acceptance:
I'm guessing your still at stage one, possibly moving into stage two.

If you can look at month old polls and predict who's gonna win in Nov

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why didn't you use that amazing power and tell Hillary she was going to lose?
You could have saved her 11+ million bucks.
Some supporter you are!

Mark Penn thought primaries were winner take all?
[Read the article: What does Hillary want?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]From a report in Time magazine:
Clinton picked people for her team primarily for their loyalty to her, instead of their mastery of the game. That became abundantly clear in a strategy session last year, according to two people who were there. As aides looked over the campaign calendar, chief strategist Mark Penn confidently predicted that an early win in California would put her over the top because she would pick up all the state's 370 delegates. It sounded smart, but as every high school civics student now knows, Penn was wrong: Democrats, unlike the Republicans, apportion their delegates according to vote totals, rather than allowing any state to award them winner-take-all. Sitting nearby, veteran Democratic insider Harold M. Ickes, who had helped write those rules, was horrified -- and let Penn know it. "How can it possibly be," Ickes asked, "that the much vaunted chief strategist doesn't understand proportional allocation?" And yet the strategy remained the same, with the campaign making its bet on big-state victories.
This type of incompetence is why she lost, and should have lost.

Clinton supporters passing through the five stages of grief
[Read the article: What does Hillary want?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And from the looks of it, it seems there now going through Anger.
Next comes the bargaining. I'm guessing that will have something to do with the VP slot, FL and MI, and Clinton's campaign debts.

Despite what the chicken littles are saying here...
[Read the article: What does Hillary want?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]November might be a fight, but once the campaign starts in earnest, I don't see McCain laying a glove on Obama.

McCain is no saint. There are many, many skeletons in that closet. And after 8 years of Bush, what Americans want is a return to sanity.
That doesn't equal a vote for John McCain no matter how you slice it. The man is unbalanced to put it nicely.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Fear is a huge motivator. And when you vote out of fear and not from hope, you are voting against something.
This is the politics Karl Rove has brought us.
That and the dividing of the electorate into bite sized demographics instead of trying to appeal to everyone.
I would say that out of all of the candidates remaining, it is Obama's supporters that are the most positive.
I seldom hear Clinton supporters say that they are still backing her over issues, but gainst Obama because they are fear he won't win, or that his supporters are abusive, or he's an empty suit, or blank slate, or he's arrogant, etc.
