  • Not only Hillary, but Democratic party as a whole bears the responsibility!

    [Read the article: Was Hillary channeling George Wallace?]

    Hillary can be shut down immediately if the undecided super delegates can cast their vote immediately rather than waiting until the primaries end.

    So, she is not the only Hillary to blame, this is happening with the knowledge of Democratic Party Folks. If they want to doom their party then probably nothing can be done about it. Who said all of Democrats are intelligent.

  • Presidential Campaign or it is Hillary's Debt Consolidation Plan !

    [Read the article: She's still in it to win it]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Well, every one knows that the race was over after South Carolina and Indiana Primaries.

    Hillary also knows it well, however, she is more focused on paying off her debts at this time rather than her presidential bid, so she will continue until she is out of red ( $20 million debt), she will continue her campaign as long as she is getting contributions at hillary clinton dot com.

    There is no shortage of people in United States who will fall pray to her political rhetoric and misguided speeches ( for example: her gas tax gimmick ) and also the people who will be with her because of race.

    Good luck on your long shot Hillary, but don't count on it.

  • Yet another scenario - Should Hillary have behaved right away

    [Read the article: She's still in it to win it]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Here is yet another theoretical scenario which could have very well be the real thing if Hillary wanted to make it happen:

    After loss in Indiana ( yikes, yes that was a loss for Hillary, even she had cliffhanger win ) and North Carolina Hillary embraces the realities of Delegate math and uses her senses and does something to unite the DNC as a whole rather than polarizing people based on race.

    Hillary could have very well exited the race immediately (just like Mitt Romney did) and rallied on in West Virginia along with Barack Obama and introduce Barack to the people of WV where she has a wide support among blue collar middle class white folks. This would have had an everlasting effect on her reputation as a party uniter and she would have been treated as a real champion by every democrat who would like to take over white house in November.

    With all that said, senses are lately coming back to Hillary which is evident by her no mudslinging on Obama in WV campaign and her today's statement where she said "It will be an error to vote for McCain over Obama". Better late then never, however, Hilary could have been more impressive and meaningful than she is now, nothing more than a self proclaimed Queen.

    indigo218 , you are out of touch and out of reality just like John McCain.

    Who said there will be no media bashing against Obama. Who said there will be no conspiracy theories floating on the internet against Obama? Who said there will be no political circus dragging Obama? Who said Obama is Saint? Who said Obama is perfect?

    I believe you have forgotten to add the news snippets of "Jeremiah Wright" episode and also the "Bitter Elitist" episode which happened recently, in your verbiage.

    Here I have a bad news for you: American public has the intellectual capacity to look beyond this artificial political fog and they are ready for a change with Barack Obama.

  • John McCain Out of Touch with The Reality as Usual

    [Read the article: McCain's amazing Iraq somersault]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I just can not understand how come a celebrated American hero like John McCain is burning all his energy in misleading the people who have put their faith in him as a leader.

    His lies and deceptive politics just never end.

    He had declared a year ago as Baghdad is a safe place, then he was thrashed out by the media and responsible American public.

    Now, this new set of lies. Iraq has no functioning democracy in first place, CIA reports have been suggesting that the Al Qaeda and Taliban are more stronger now then they were at the time of 9/11 tragedy. There was no such thing like Al-Qaeda in Iraq, until George Bush and company's foolishness got exercised.

    Any one out there in Republican Party like our great leader Ronald Regan or what is left there now is just a bunch of Jokers ready to mislead American public?

  • It's no Presidential Campaign, it's Hillary's Debt Consolisation Plan

    [Read the article: She's in it to spin it]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Not sure how people are going to get it.

    - There is no math supporting Hillary's candidacy.

    - She has ran a third grade campaign in her Presidential bid.

    - She has embraced every possibly low class tactic she could to get some votes here and there.

    - She has already earned the title of "Queen of Negativity" and "Al Sharpton of Whites"

    - Her speeches lift no one's spirit and hopes.

    - Her campaign crowds are 400 to 1000 people only.

    - This Champion of Democratic Party is still taking heat from an Under Dog.

    - Only uneducated crowd supports her.

    You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand this simple fact that she is burning all her energies in order to reduce her Campaign Debt as much as possible before the Campaign ends.

    If she is really in it for the people of this country then she can serve them the best by stepping aside and uniting the party, But her only goal lies in her deep selfishness and that is to collect as much Donation as possible before the game is over and be be free and clear of debt before going back home.

    Pretty wise, or let's call it shrewd politics.

    Your next argument may very well be, since Clintons have already been to White House why would they crave to be there again. Funny !!

  • @ finishing what she started.

    [Read the article: She's in it to spin it]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    In that case the main question still remains:

    What exactly she started?

    At this point even her nomination spells disaster for the DNC because of her not securing the majority of pledged delegates.

    It all depends how you see it. Glass is Half Empty ? or it is Half Full ??

  • Bill Clinton for Hillary as a Veep !

    I guess at this time it is a mute point to discuss about who is going to be or who should be the Democratic nominee for Presidency.

    This latest news from ABC makes it clearer than ever:

    It's time for all the Dems to lineup behind Obama and make it happen.
