Huh. I find your line of thinking quite confusing.

How about this?

Obama’s Popular votes: 13,964,924 (47.43%)


Hillary’s Popular votes: 13,858,725 (47.07%)


Obama’s total delegates: 1,703.0 (38.57%
)

Hillary’s total delegates: 1,692.0 (38.32%)

Obama is ahead by far less than the margin of error in any decent poll.

We in California are not at all convinced a Democrat is going to take California, no matter who it is. California is increasingly conservative. We have Arnold for Governor, remember?

Listening to Obama's FULL questioning on Iraq yesterday, vs. McCain's, vs. Clinton's, it was clear how amateurish and naive he is. In the GE, he's going to look like a child, no matter who he's up against.

And then there's his choice of spiritual advisors (THREE, not Rev. Wright), those he calls his "friends" (Ayers of the Weather Underground, Rezko), and a whole slew of stuff on him the Republicans are digging up for the documentary they are currently producing on him to be released this summer.

Hmroooo. I believe you're the one with the fantasy, sadly.

Geez. He's putting his foot in his mouth every day now. Earlier today, he said people in Pennsylvania have faced hard times and are bitter people and "don't wanna' work." Then he said he was going to go back on his pledge to accept public financing (and his haranguing of McCain to accept it last year) in order to accept (Bush-speak) "parallel financing" in the form of internet donations.

This is just disgusting to me. What a holier-than-thou, arrogant, self-absorbed hypocrite.

Obama's success is based upon his being able to make us feel he feels our pain (thanks for that, Bill) and believes exactly as we do--and on one other thing. Our victim culture.

Barack Obama, in every single speech, emphasizes the way in which he has been victimized by those who misunderstand him. It's like hearing, again and again and again and again, about his abandonment by his father. Same story. Over and over and over. If he becomes President, that's all we're going to hear.

Listen for it. It's all over these excerpts.

Yes, of course this has been there all along. And it's not just the white males. I had a student in my undergraduate class who, in response to a photo of Hillary Clinton, shouted out, "I am NOT voting for her! She is NOT a pretty woman!" This was a female student, to whom I said, "And what could that possibly matter? And if it does, you'd better think long and hard about that."

I believe young women have simply bought the media line that sexism is over as an issue. They're not out there professionally yet (being advised to wear a bun and glasses with clear lenses even if they don't need them so they can "look smart," learning how to laugh off remarks from male colleagues who demean them or--still!--pressure them for a date, and on and on). I have a group of friends who student evaluations of professors on Rate My Professor and found very clear gender bias. The female professors were rated on how "nice" they were; the males, on how competent, brilliant, informed, and intelligent they were.

OF COURSE sexism isn't over. Young women are too busy trying to be nice to see it. Yet.

Perhaps this is why the Hillary Clinton: Mad as H*@l you tube video is going viral.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm sorry to post twice, but I wanted to add something important: those here who say the Obama supporters who are sexist are in the minority might want to search around a bit more. As someone who spends each day reading, commenting, writing letters to the editor, and all that, I've visited many political forums over the past few months. I, and thousands of other Clinton supporters, were driven off of one extremely large, major democratic primary site, for example, because of the never-ending, disgusting sexist comments made by hundreds of Obama supporters. The moderators wouldn't stand up to it (being Obama supporters, themselves), and everything we tried (patiently trying to explain why the language -- which I can't even type here -- was offensive and hurtful, and so on) didn't work. So we all left. Now there are only very new posters and Obama fanatics there. They think that means the entire nation is for Obama and absolutely hates HIllary Clinton. Rude awakening coming...

You can see the sexism everywhere, if you keep your eyes open--it's all over the mainstream / cable media blogs and comments.

I disagree. I learned about Clinton's ideas about foreign policy in the middle east (the umbrella), which I had never heard before, and which is extremely important. I also learned that the only ex-President Obama wants as an advisor is the first George Bush! That shocked me to no end, that he seems to believe the man was wise in foreign policy and about the Gulf War we Democrats took to the streets to protest against.

I also learned that Obama believes what he said about Pennsylvanians (as he repeated exactly what he was quoted as first saying), and about Rev. Wright (which he also repeated -- that Rev. Wright said some bad stuff, but overall, he's a great guy and Obama's proud of him for his church work). I also learned that Obama doesn't understand why any of these things would upset reasonable people, and that, in his mind, being "friendly" with Ayers seems okay, since Obama was only 8 when Ayers bombed the Pentagon.

Dear God. And this is devoid of substance to you???
