@ KateTex
What latest news from the Rezko trial are you taking about?
In fact, it seems to be just the opposite; that Rod Blagojevic is more deeply involved and Obama is at the periphery. I live in Chicagoland and watch the local news closely. There have been zero, zilch, no new revelations concerning Obama and Rezko. So I have to ask, are you a member of the reality based community or are you trying to emulate Mrs. Clinton and are just pulling reality out of your ass?

Re: That jerk Hillary
Indeed. Hillary Clinton is one of the worst people ever. Not quite Hitler, on par with Stalin, but better dressed than Pol Pot.
It's such a shame that this horrible woman (and I know she's horrible because the blogosphere tells me so) doesn't understand the fundamental principle of leadership: knowing when to quit when people tell you to.
She's absolutely ruining democracy for the rest of us.

Say Obama doesn't take the Penn state in a dramatic way...
There's alway's another election not far away.
Television station WRAL in Raleigh North Carolina gives Obama and Obama supporters encouragement for a clean victory in this recent poll.
Those who will vote for Obama: 56
Those who will vote for Clinton: 33
Those undecided: 11

Where did you get this crazy assumption that Barack is ahead in delegates only because he has the black vote on his side? Around here in PA, its middle-class whites who have become his major allies. He couldn't have won as many delegates as he has if it were only blacks voting for him. I wasn't aware that Idaho and Iowa had such large black demographics.
It seems that you hate the idea that Barack really has transcended race in this election (after all he is half-white too, ya know) and you'd like to continue to marginalize him as a "black candidate" even though his supporters don't limit him to your simplistic views.
As for your stating that Hillary supporters will vote for McCain over Obama if he is the nominee then that just goes to show you how your actual priorities are clearly screwed up when it comes to the all-important issues. You'd rather have a pro-war and anti-choice guy in office than a democrat? Are you kidding me!?
At least the Obama supporters I know will support Hillary if she miraculously gets the nomination because our values are more important than whatever it is that you deem important in a president's positions. Considering that the only major difference in Hillary's and Barack's positions is the Iraq war and that they both support core liberal values, why oh why would you rather have another disastrous Republican presidency unless its just for irrational spite?
Apparently personality trumps progressive goals for you. Not a very good liberal, are you?

@oneguy
How long have you been delusional? Would you care to tell us how, when, and where this "streak of integrity" has been evidenced by Obama? Would this have been in the hardball politics he used to win his seat in the IL legislature? His betrayal of one of his earliest mentors, Alice Palmer? His promise, when he won the seat, that he wouldn't be running for the U.S. Senate any time soon? His hand in glove, long running relationship with Rezko (about which he has lied - extensively)? His lack of compassion for those who suffered from Rezko & Co's poorly built, poorly maintained, sometimes never built low-income housing (made possible by funds from blatant sweetheart deals)? His willingness to be a glory hog in his early days in the IL legislature, taking credit for the hard work of others (a tactic he tried to repeat in the U.S. Senate)?
How about his open condescension toward Hillary Clinton? His complicity in the smearing of the Clintons, beginning in SC? His ever-changing story about his stance on the Iraq war? His lies about having had no awareness of Rev. Wright's toxic preaching over a 20-year period? His penchant for telling one story in public, another in private? His casual betrayal of his now-elderly grandmother, whom he cast as a typical white bigot? I mean, the list is getting longer by the day. And yet you choose to ignore it.
As for Obama's 'calm demeanor' - might this not have something to do with the ice water content of his veins?

Hillary's destructive coup attempt: it's a good thing for the Democratic Party.
Hillary Clinton has proved during the past few months that she is a fighter, that she is tenacious, and that she is in the race to win. There's just one problem. She's already lost.
Clinton's near-lone chance of victory rests with a coup by superdelegate, persuading enough of them to overcome the primary voters' preference. Yet a coup by elite Democrats would be ill-received, to put it mildly. Obama's base spans the party's most loyal and engaged constituencies: African-Americans, professionals who generate hundreds of millions in small-dollar donations and a conventional-wisdom-defying outpouring of youth support.
If Obama lost at the polling booth, these supporters would accept the voters' verdict and carry on.

@xufapema - the Rezko story, cont'd
My, what nice phraseology you Obamaites choose to employ. Here's something I didn't 'pull out of my ass', to borrow a dainty expression. CBS news summarized the information contained in this piece on its online op-ed page today. So please don't try to reduce the relevance of the content by equating it with the National Enquirer. You will notice that Obama is mentioned at a number of important junctures as pertains to his close, very close involvement with a number of major players in the latest eruption of corruption in Chicagoland:

@ katetex
I got these ideas from watching debates and paying attention to campaign information from a wide array of sources. There's a lot of them out there beyond the Clinton campaign's talking points. Try 'em, you might like 'em!

Stone-Cold Hypocrites
The Obamatons are unbelievable hypocrites!! They claim that the vote of the constituency should be reflected by the superdelegates. But apparently that should only apply for Obama. Otherwise, why would the superdelegates Ted Kennedy, Bill Richardson, and others, in states where Hillary won be supporting the one who lost..Barack Obama! I would like an explanation of this do as I say, not as I do policy of the Obamatons.
