When I say HRC is acting like a republican.

Look, I understand she wants those delegates seated, and I expect her to try to get those delegates seated, but when she takes this approach: "It is a bedrock American principle: we are all equal in the voting booth," it just fills me with disgust for her. What's going on in Fla & MI have NOTHING to do with some subversion of American principals of fair voting. They are the end-result of party squabbling. In fact, what would be fair would be for the DNC to keep the delegates of Fla & MI stripped as they said they would if Fla & MI broke the rules, and they broke the rules. HRC's attempt to dress it up to be more than it is and turn it completely around from the truth is just too much like how Bush & Co, and the Repubs in Congress have been behaving. In fact just like Bush & Co. she is using opposites as if they were true.

Please HRC, run, stay in the race, try to get as many dels as you can, but damn it if you can't do it with grace, dignity and honesty, drop the fuck out!

What does Obama have to do with Fla & MI? Show me where he is fighting to have those votes not counted. Fla & MI had their dels stripped due to a inter-party fight with DNC and local Dem parties.

Show me where Obama is trying to take away people's votes?

I agree that Obama would not have wanted to seat Fla & MI's delegates in a way that was favorable to HRC, but that is a far FAR cry from claiming he was trying to block those voters from having their votes counted. I also submit, hypothetically that HRC would have been just as unhappy to seat those delegates under a scheme that was favorable to Obama.

Fact is, each state's legislature shot down the do-overs. And since everyone else in the country, and those who did vote in Fla & MI voted under the understanding that those delegates would NOT be seated, it is just as arguable that HRC is trying to disenfranchise THOSE votes.

By the way, you want to talk about disenfranchising voters:

"Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is unlikely to catch rival Barack Obama in pledged delegates, hinted Thursday that she hoped to persuade a few to back her instead of him."

I know its not against the rules but certainly HRC can't have much respect for the voters if she is willing go this course.

Rachel Maddow who, as always, grasped completely its importance.

Glenn, you and Rachel should have a baby. You'd spawn the ultimate progressive avenger for truth the world has ever seen. No governmental fabricator would be safe

May want to update:

"The reporter pressed Clinton saying, “Is that a no?” To which Clinton responded, “That’s a no.”

But later, a senior Clinton spokesman told reporters that Clinton did not mean to imply that she was not referring to what she allegedly said to Richardson about Obama. Instead, the campaign explains that Clinton took the follow up question to mean that she “does not talk about private conversations."

Hahahaha, she is SUCH a loser. She's basically put it all on the line, if she loses the nomination her AND Bill's name will be mud for as long as America's memory stretches... damn, thats not long at all.

Move along.

If she runs in a way that poisons the general atmosphere among democrats and puts him down, a fellow democrat as not being as qualified as their opponent, McCain, and then Obama loses to McCain, then ya, HRC would bear some portion of the blame.

I don't understand why she can't run in a way that is uplifting to both candidates.

If you haven't seen it recently I recommend you watch it again.

Colbert's WH Press Correspondent's Dinner speech is probably the bravest most profound public speaking done in America in my lifetime. This man stood a few feet from the president and TORE into him, then when he'd finished humiliating the president, he unloaded on the rest of the room, courageously calling out the press corps for the failures they were. It was the most inspirational public speaking I'd ever seen.

And funny too.

BLACK people don't run for president. WOMEN don't run for president. Individuals run for president, who happen to be black or female. As other's have said the poll is impossible to conduct with out it reflecting how people feel about Obama and Hillary. If Obama were a white woman, and Hillary a black man, you'd see different results.

"a mistake I made myself long ago"

He was 47 at the time.

"Obama's leads were not so reliant on certain eccentricities in the current Democratic nominating process"

That argument would make sense if the eccentricities you speak of were ONLY available to Obama. Was HRC not able to take advantage of these 'eccentricities'? Did Obama, the young senator have some knowledge of the Democratic primary system that HRC did not?

For sanities sake I wish, and many others wish and perhaps there would be a different outcome IF there were a simple 'winner-take-all' primary system with no, inherently undemocratic superdelegates. But to say the current system favors Obama is to say that ANY system favors the victor.

Should show them BLAMING anyone who bought a home for their own problems, for being greedy financial know-nothings that deserve to lose their homes. Then the last panel shows them praising the fed for bailing our corporate investors as wise.
