You wonder why she didn't get more traction. I

She had to fight the radical right AND the radical left (you know like the posters here who just can't understand why a Senator from NY would need to vote to protect Ground Zero and are more worried about al qaida's treatement in prison) and then the entire AA community whipped up into a frenzy by Axelrod's race-baiting (with help from Rove).

Meanwhile Obama had the right routing for him and the left giving him a free pass for his entire f*cked up history, not the least of which was siding with a Syrian slumlord in a lawsuit against poor blacks, and voting to fund the war he was supposedly so hard against.

If Hillary leaves we'll be calling John McCain president. The misogyny in this campaign has sickened me and I'll NEVER vote for Obama. I am not alone.

Agreed. For me it was that and also that the rabid, uneducated black community that turned on the Clinton's like dogs and supported a charlatan that had sided with wealthy whites (Iranians and Syrians) over poor blacks his entire terms in legislator - when he wasn't arranging for big salary increases for his wife.

That was when I realized I'd never vote for the guy under any circumstances. However it was doubtful I would anyway considering he's simply far far too inexperienced for the Presidency in these times and has shown a very long history of piss-poor judgement from Resko to Wright and an entire host of impaired judgement calls in between.

Remember after all Mrs. Clinton when elected Senator actually went to the Senate and got some work done, and earned the respect of Senators of both parties instead of preening for President and never even showing up for Committees she was hosting.

I can't imagine how anyone with more than 3 braincells can be shocked.

Many of us told you from the beginning that we wouldn't vote for Obama under any circumstances after his low-rent race-baiting and using rightwing propoganda and Rovian techniques such as Harry and Louise. And don't even get me started on my opinion of the black community that turned like rabid dogs on the black-friendly Clinton Admin, while endorsing lockstep a guy who sided with Resko in a lawsuit where poor black's had their heat turned off in the dead of a Chicago winter. Screw them in spades.

I said I'd either vote for McCain or sit this one out. I'll probably do the latter on the presidential and vote a straight Dem ticket for the rest. It's possible I could vote for McCain. But I won't vote for Greedy Obama, his Vulgar wife, or in anyway encourage his insane supporters.

McCain meanwhile will appeal to the hundreds of millions of working class Democratic women that Obama's sleazy, despicable campaign alienated. He's friends with her, has worked on a host of legislation with her, and will say that he abhored the way she was treated in the campaign. Watch.

Whatever I do is a side issue. You're f*cked. Obama's going to get the biggest shellacking any Dem has seen in a general in 20 years. And probably far worse.

Oh well. You wanted the election to be all about race and you got it. Americans aren't racist; they just know bullsh*t when they hear and see it.

If you think shipping jobs overseas is something that is done by an extremely "black friendly" president, I guess we can put you down as agreeing with Hillary about the work ethic of black Americans, huh?

Uh, duh. Duh wah. Is that what they teach you clowns in college these days?

Actually in the Clinton Administration 48 million private sector jobs were created and jobs paying 14-16 dollars an hour were going begging.

But somehow I doubt that will deter you from your ignorant Goebbel's style revisionist spewings.

Thank you for your intellectual honesty and for restoring my faith in black people a little bit. Much needed.

So fine they won't even have to let Rezko buy their houses anymore

Word here too. The most sickening part of all was when it push came to shove Barry and Vulgar supported Resko in the lawsuit - that over the poor blacks whose heat was being turned off in the dead of Chicago winter.

A real black man's hero indeed.

LIke you said, Barack Dukakis and his vulgar wife will be just fine after their November landslide defeat. So fine they won't even have to let Rezko buy their houses anymore. So will the other part of the Barry Dukakis coalition, stale old 60's acadmeic relics in midlife crisis.

Word. It's so nauseating it literally makes me vomit. I'm surrounded by lifelong hard-working people going into foreclosure, single mom's working 3 jobs literally and still having no benefits, formerly nice areas that are boarded up and abandoned and empty business parks with "for lease" signs up in front of every single one of them. The nation is quickly approaching insolvency and truckdrivers are now paying higher tax percentages than billionaires.

This election was poised to be a straight sweep for the Democrats coast to coast and a return to competent government, fiscal responsibility and economic growth.

Instead the spoiled, radical left has turned it into another Ned Lamont and a coast to coast sweep for the GOP: including the loss of Congress and he governorships and a STRAIGHT 100% solidly rightwing judiciary, top to bottom, junior to appellate, and every last justice on the Supreme Court.

The working class is sunk without a liferaft anywhere to be found through no fault of their own at all and they have every right to loathe the people responsible.
