To borrow from Don Corleone...
[Read the article: Obama's got ground game]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In reference to Tatagglia:
"...He never could have out-smart or out-fought Santino..."
I'm not saying Hillary is being run like a Marionette puppet by someone else (though a lot of folks claim she's too easily swayed or deluded by her campaign staff, but I don't buy that)...However, it quite obvious that Hillary is getting beat at her own game by Obama, who has a grassroots organization that harkens back to the Democratic party I used to hear about from my parents when I was a kid...the same Democratic party that may not have held the White House, but sure-as-shit dominated the House and the Senate for most of the 20th. Century.
Obama took the 50 state strategy from Howard Dean, combined it with the best that technology has to offer, and is just beating down a candidate that should have walked away with the nomination in January...but she didn't, and it's too late now to get the lead (or my vote) back.

This is hilarious....
[Read the article: Hillary at twilight]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"casting aside Senator Clinton's very real chance at success."
HA! What chance now?
Jennalex (sic) and KateTex, you guys/gals are just sour about your candidate being out-smarted by the "wylie" state senator from IL. Hillary BLEW her chance, and she and supporters like you are crying foul now. Why? It wasn't just because Obama ran a better campaign, it's also because she DIDN'T TAKE OBAMA SERIOUSLY!
There are going to be fabulously detailed books about Hillary's incompetently-run campaign in the next few years (the sooner, the better). I hope when that day comes that you 2 go out and get those books and read about how Hillary let the nomination slip out of her fingers...and hopefully you'll come to the realization that maybe Hillary just wasn't cut out to be a President, based on how shoddy she ran her campaign...which is kinda sad, because the Clintons were always better campaigners and political rulers.
Mark my words...

Looks like we need a Texas History lesson here...
[Read the article: Hillary at twilight]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Good one manos99
"Who Knows?
Maybe Clinton can claim the endorcements of Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, L.B.J. too!
-- manos99"
No, see, I was about to say OBAMA should have made a parody ad with actors playing Sam Houston, Austin, LBJ, Senator Yarborough, Davey Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William Travis...all in support of his candidacy...seeing as how only men vote for Obama, or so we've been told by Hillary's followers.
Actually, Hillary should have had Texas Gov. Ma Ferguson on her list of female supporters...the parallels with Hillary/Bill and M.A./James Ferguson (also a former TX governor) are just too tempting to go into detail here. Look it up, yall, it's interesting political history to read...and it's partly why Texas governors have almost no power to speak of any more...
I probably would have been more upset if she had used Barbara Jordan in her ad...guess Hillary's staff figured that would have been pushing it, seeing as how, ya-know, only black people are supposedly voting for Obama...
My only regret is that you beat me to the punch-line on this one.

I would advocate Hillary fighting to the very end...
[Read the article: Hillary Clinton makes her stand in Ohio]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If she were running on her OWN merits, and not on just her name...
If she were running a campaign of hope, not of fear...
If she wasn't resorting to the SAME dirty tactics that helped put her and her husband in positions of power...
If she was a capable leader, as opposed to just a capable campaigner (which she frankly hasn't even done that well either)...
If she had voted her (so-called) conscience, instead of just going along with everyone else on the Iraq war vote...
If she wasn't just the absolute darling of the right-wing of the Republican party, who will stop at NO END in making her life miserable as President...if she wins...
If none of these facts were in play, then I would say she should keep running...but that's not the case at all.
What infuriates me the most is that she and Bill (and many of her supporters) have this belief that she is the "future" of the Democratic Party...it's that god-damn baby-boomer sense of entitlement, a belief that will lead them to do anything possible, to tear everything else in this world apart, if they don't have their precious way. Yes, how DARE somebody as young as Obama come along and throw a monkey-wrench into their little plans.
I don't care about her running thru the rest of the primaries...but if Hillary tries to broker some deal at the convention with superdelegates, or does some back-handed move to get the FL/MI delegates seated (after she SWORE with the other candidates that they would honor the national DNC's rules)...if she tries any of that, I swear to fucking god I'll vote for McCain.
I guess that would be a political version of M.A.D., but if Hillary and her gang are going to hijack the party like that, then I say nuts to the Democratic Party. And I'm not the only one that feels this way...
BTW, don't fall for this Pew Research crap about everyone suddenly liking Hillary better than McCain...Because there's a portion of this country that will NEVER vote for someone with the last name of Clinton...never...never-ever-never...
All of you in OH and TX remember that when you go to vote to more, if you haven't already...Hillary will NEVER win in a general election against the likes of John McCain.
