    But your own candidate initially started off agreeing with the DNC on MI and FL. But as always her goal posts keeping changing. MI and FL were not any of Obama's doing so why blame him? Come on WES you are smarter than that. You can't change the line of scrimmage just because Hilary doesn't know how to run.

  • With Bruce Springstein endorsing Obama

    yeah, he and Toni Morrison, Garrison Keillor, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and all Obama supporters are drinking from the same chalice. Sorry that you won't be joining the party because you are so stuck enough not to rock and roll.

    Clooney has a lot in common with you. Only you follow Clinton even after she has been exposed as a congenital liar. See. The cult thing goes both ways, no? You disregard her lies and we love Obama's honesty and spirit.

    Poll Shows Erosion Of Trust in Clinton

    PHILADELPHIA, April 15 -- Lost in the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign's aggressive attacks on Barack Obama in recent days is a deep and enduring problem that threatens to undercut any inroads Clinton has made in her struggle to overtake him in the Democratic presidential race: She has lost trust among voters, a majority of whom now view her as dishonest.

    When Hillarobots scream wolf too much, then some kind of denial is at play.

    An Hillary is very much now part of the vast right wing conspiracy that she so blamed during her cuckolded stay at the White House

    "You Mean To Tell To Me

    Superman Obama is going to lose to a dishonest, untrustworthy witch in Pennsylvania? That doesn't inspire much confidence in the general."

    -- The Notorious W.E.S.

    Let's wait and see what PA does next Tuesday. But remember, Gore and Kerry also lost to a dishonest, untrustworthy bastardo in the GE. That did not inspire much confidence either, did it?

    Now you are trying to spin again, that only Hillary can win, comparing Obama to Kerry. Good try WES. You are a master at self deception. But hey, you will still vote for a Democrat in the GE and that's all that matters.

    Two superdelegates — Reps. David Price and Mel Watt — announced their endorsement of Barack Obama on a conference call in advance of the White House hopeful’s visit to the state tomorrow. Watt had previously backed John Edwards.

    Obama now has received endorsements from six North Carolina superdelegates, including party vice chair Dannie Montgomery, Rep. G.K. Butterfield, former Democratic Party director Everett Ward, and former Watt staffer Joyce Brayboy, a lobbyist.

    Hillary Clinton has the backing of superdelegate Susan Burgess, a Charlotte city councilwoman

  • Hillary Clinton On Working Class Whites In 1995: "Screw 'Em"

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/16/hillary-clinton-on-workin_n_97017.html

    In January 1995, as the Clintons were licking their wounds from the 1994 congressional elections, a debate emerged at a retreat at Camp David. Should the administration make overtures to working class white southerners who had all but forsaken the Democratic Party? The then-first lady took a less than inclusive approach.

    "Screw 'em," she told her husband. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."

    The statement -- which author Benjamin Barber witnessed and wrote about in his book, "The Truth of Power: Intellectual Affairs in the Clinton White House" -- was prompted by another speaker raising the difficulties of reaching "Reagan Democrats." It stands in stark contrast to the attitude the New York Democrat has recently taken on the campaign trail, in which she has presented herself as the one who candidate who understands the working-class needs.

    "I don't think [Obama] really gets it that people are looking for a president who stands up for you and not looks down on you," she said this week.

    it is a good idea not to watch FOX at all. Much in the same way you won't stick a needle full of heroin in your veins, you watch FOX at your own risk.

    If FOX is your only source of information, then it is analogous to watching CBN that paragon channel of Pat Robertson that does the same kind of misinformation.

    Not all people who are supporting Hillary are Hillarobots. They are not republican either. Yes. The Hillarobots are definitely blue dog Dems.

    So read and watch a variety of sources and you will be surprised what's out there. But Rufus, I understand your anger. You are trying to make sure that nobody hijacks the elections this time around. I am with you on that.

    Far left and CNN is an oxymoron.

    On the other hand, Cafferty is clearly not a Hillary supporter just as Joan Walsh is not an Obama supporter
