  • Sense of Unity

    [Read the article: Campaign roundup]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Yeah his sense of unity seems to stop, according to you after uniting, poor, white, black, wealthy, women, men, young and old.

    Yeah Hillary really knows how to unite, all her white poor base. Really inspirational.

    "Obama may have the African-American and wealthy, educated white vote, but that's where his sense of unity seems to stop"

    I'm not white, I'm not wealthy.

    You've established his support as Black, Wealthy, White, and Educated. (I assume you mean poor and rich blacks as well as male and female across the board.) That's about as diverse as you can get.

    Lets see I am a working class latin, jew from Miami, and I support him.

    So according to you I don't really exist cause she has all the working class latin jews.

    What exactly was your point? Yeah, I'm the one pigeon holing her supporters.

    By voting demographics, I assume you mean the statistical data of a population, (average age, income, education, etc.). You know what we've been talking about.

    So you're saying his base is more likely to vote according to who they are, black white, rich, etc, and how they feel towards a candidate.

    What a concept, I never would have thought to actually vote how I feel. This is simply remarkable. You must be a genius.

    1. You insist on mentioning how diverse his base is, yet you claim he is divisive.

    He has won in states all across demographic lines, red states and blue states, yet he can't unite democrats.

    2. Then proceed to claim that uniting blacks, whites, poor, rich, female, male is where his sense of unity ends. He also has a funny way of uniting Republicans into the Democratic party, just to vote for him. Yet this is not enough. He's really not a uniter.

    Exactly what is your point? What is your sense of unity?

    He excludes blind, chinese, gay middle age tran-sexuals therefore, he is not a uniter.

    Yeah man, you really set me straight.

    I'm glad you're here to explain things to me.

    Cause if I was white, I could be uneducated enough to vote for a Border Collie, or a cardboard box, or maybe even Hillary, you know just like my demographics say.

  • It's the math

    What I find the most remarkable about this phenomenon is apparently once you decide to support Hilldog,

    You lose the ability to count. Quite interesting, a complete denial of arithmetic.

    It's the math that wins every time.

    "Has this administration done anything, I mean anything, good and honorable?"

    The problem is there are people in this country that would consider that good and honorable,

    and that is just plain sad.

    Only a fucktard egomaniac would claim himself a genius.

    It's part of the deal, if you're a genius, you don't have to tell people.

    They will realize it by themselves.

    If you self-claim the title you are a moron,or just full of Bollshit.

  • Leave it to the Democratic Party

    to ruin a sure thing.

    Only the democrats could get McCain elected in November! and sure enough, they have self-destructed just like all my republican friends said they would.

    Sad, we can't even agree on how to begin to fix this mess.

    [Read the article: The gas tax battle continues]

    "The McCain gas tax plan is a giveaway to oil companies, disguised as a gift to consumers"

    and Hilldog is just a copycat!

    That's just insult to injury.

    I wonder how much research her team did before announcing, me too, me too.

    I read in a different post that the Tax break comes out to a little over $23 per person.

    Wopee, now I can get my kid some braces.

    Obama might win in November after all.

    P.S. I doubled my tax break and gave it to Obama.

    The teeth will have to wait.

    [Read the article: Obama camp files complaint against pro-Clinton 527]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The Hill team can file a complaint, but it would not be wise to go attacking a 527 that has been crucial in getting Democrats elcted. Never mind the whole origin story.

    We all know why Move-On was started, I won't mention it because its irrelevant to the race.

    But it would seem to me that Hilldog should be very grateful for everything they have done for the party. Something she cannot fathom.

    [Read the article: Can Clinton heal the racial divide?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    If you really believe that there is no racial divide in the U.S. and it's all hype.

    Not only are you incredibly annoying, but remarkably stupid.

    Then on your second post you say it's not to be solved, what is not to be solved?

    According to your first post it's make believe.

    Now do you see why you are retarded.

    Hey WES if you continue on this spiral down the race game (buckwheat comments) you'll loose any and all respect you have for being a clever post. You are one of the best posters here, don't go there man.

  • What?

    [Read the article: A new round of superdelegates for Obama]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    (One rumor that's been filtering about for almost two months now is that Barack Obama's campaign has about 50 superdelegates who've made their decision and are just waiting for the right time to announce.)

    I seriously doubt that, with all the talk about momentum from the Hill camp, Obama would sit on this. If he suddenly could take the lead in super-delegates, as well as states won and pledge delegate, why would they sit on it. Most likely it would have encouraged more super-delegates to come forward already, and he would definitely appear to have the momentum.

    I wish it was so more than you, but I'm afraid we'll have to settle for a trickle.
