She should have been doing this from the beginning. It's not dirty as you can get but it's not really saying anything that isn't fair game.

This is the same type of stuff we'll see from the GOP though. I wonder if this will actually help Obama in the general or just give them an idea to run. McCain already blatantly copied the Kerry windsurfing ad and put Romney in there. They even used the same music for crying out loud.

The GOP is going to have their work cut out for them. Gesh, that was perfect and fast!

Yeah, I agree with you too. Texas has been trending Obama for awhile now and I'm thinking his early vote efforts were better than hers.

So Texas will be close but he'll win. RI will be Hillary's, VT will go to Obama. How big Hillary wins in Ohio is important and what tomorrow will be about.

If (I believe she will) she wins Ohio she has the "core democrat" type vote for her. She can take that to Penn. Additionally, it bolsters her argument that she's winning in general democratic states. Doesn't matter if that is important, she'll make it so.

The problem with Obama is that the longer this goes on, the more she can come back and retool her campaign. Being in the Daily show, SNL, etc...this is actually a big deal. She looked really good on SNL. Obama is basically on defense of his momentum, which for most purposes has stalled some. The Obama movement might have peaked a little too soon. He really needs to knock her out on Tuesday and I don't think that's going to happen.

The problem though is that she won't get the delegate lead. She knows this. She'll have to basically take the nomination from him. If she does this via MI/FL and supers, then the ONLY way she can go to the general election is to pick Obama as VP. If not, she'll lose to McCain hands down.

I think she needs to look at the future of the party and not her own personal ambitions. If she doesn't take TX and OH, she's got to step aside.

I guess we are a nation that wants our nomination over on Super Tuesday. We go past this and it's just tearing us apart and doing nothing for democratic causes. Forget about the double standard we have of wanting a real democratic process but secretly wanting the Democratic party to crown our candidate after Super Tuesday.

Everyone is in this primary tunnel vision and no one can see McCain's huge grin from the outside. I really wish this thing were more decisive than it is and no, Tuesday isn't going to decide this. If Hillary were to lose Texas and still stay in, it's going to rip the democratic party apart all while the Republican's dance in the streets.

This is really getting tiring. Perhaps we should have a national primary and be done with it. After the stuff I'm seeing this campaign, I'm not sure any good is going to come of it this year, or in any to come.

...is us. The people who post here, on other blogs, etc. We can't just seem to get along. Who is tearing the party apart? Hillary? Obama? Or us? The media is doing what the media does. What are we doing? We sit here and participate in the same partisanship that we have had for the past 7 years all while McCain and the GOP sit back and smile.

If you are a Hillary supporter, then accept the idea...the *idea* that going on after tomorrow might not be good for the party. Obama supporters should not tear her down on everything she says with purely negative statements and the same mantra you accuse the Hillary supporters of. Come together and actually have an objective argument about what is going on, not keep spreading this hate between each candidate. Do you think that if a Hillary supporter tears me down for supporting an "empty suit" that I'm going to just turn around and support her in November? If I go out and say that Hillary is just a self-absorbed opportunist to one of her supporters that they'll just say, oh sure...I'll support Obama now that he's the nominee. ?

We need to take advantage of the high negatives of Bush, the GOP, and power through to have a win in November. It's time to stop hacking each other apart. Because I for one, am getting really, really tired of it.

I don't know how the party is going to come together after this constant bashing of each other's pick for the nominee.

Why is it that democrats never can figure out how to vote FOR someone instead of voting AGAINST someone? At the beginning of this campaign I was very excited about it and now I'm almost sick after watching so many people go at each other like you all are. Cheap shots, twisted lies, spin spun again and again. Does it ever end? Do you really think this is good for the party?

I want to vote for someone in November, not vote against McCain. Because if you think that's going to work, you better look at the history of democratic nominees for president. Wonder why we keep losing?

She was ahead in the polls for the whole month.

JFC - now the media is picking up Hillary for SIX appearances on the morning shows tomorrow.
