If she hasn't already quit, it's hard to envision Clinton continuing her unwinnable -- even with Florida and Michigan -- battle beyond June 4.

  • gosh, it's my turn to say it!

    Nancianne is a full-time Obama campaign staffer subsidized by Karl Rove, in other words, SHE'S A LURKING NEOCON TROLL!!!!

    Give it a rest, Ms. Nanci and all who post these juvenile accusations of trolldom on the part of Clinton supporters. It's quite obvious that far too many Obamaites define 'troll' as 'anyone who doesn't worship at the feet of Obama'. So, yeah, we're heretics. Consider it a divine right and shut the hell up.

  • And one more time...

    ...just because it really needs to be rammed home...

    It seems pretty obvious that there are a fair few trolls here with an agenda of driving division as far as they can... it's very unlikely that any of these trolls are in fact genuine supporters of the Democratic Party, whoever the nominee may be... don't be fooled, people. Given the Dems' much vaunted online and netroots strength, it's obvious that this would be among the first places to divide and conquer. What could be nicer for that nice Mr. McCain than a Democratic Party helpfully fighting itself, not him.

    Don't be fooled. Just ignore them. No real Democrat is going to vote for four more years of the same. On the other hand, if you were a Republican strategist, this is precisely the kind of McCain-benefiting activity you'd be carefully engineering.

    Don't be fooled. It'll get worse between now and the election.

    Don't be fooled.

  • Hillary was killed by the web.

    Hillary's campaign represents the end of a tried-and-tested method of campaigning that was good for the whole past century, which is to rely on big donors. Like it or not, a paradigm has occurred: web fundraising. First tested with Howard Dean, the power of the web has been gloriously harnessed by the Obama campaign.

    McCain will probably be the last of the traditional fundraisers...

  • bilious hate-filled bitches

    "Data guy---I sure you skipped over the integrity part. Lincoln had integrity, Obama has none. You people who compare Obama to Lincoln are way off base. He is to be compared to his mentor Rev. Wright and his sponsor Resko."

    Yeah, well, I'll match your Resko, and raise you one Norman Hsu (now in jail for felonies large and small, a GIGANORMOUS Hillary fan), Aaron Tonken (HUGE Hillary backer, again now in jail), and then we have Abdul Jinnah "A Pakistani immigrant who hosted fundraisers in Southern California for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is being sought by the FBI on charges that he funneled illegal contributions to Clinton’s political action committee and Sen. Barbara Boxer’s 2004 reelection campaign. Authorities say Northridge businessman Abdul Rehman Jinnah, 56, fled the country after an indictment accused him of engineering more than $50,000 in illegal donations to the Democratic committees."

    For every marginal person associated with Obama, we have 10 to 20 scum-filled toads who are bosom buddies with Hillary.

    The fact is that she is dirty, dirty, dirty, with scummy lobbyist money.

    And, as an Illinois resident, I believe that the Lincoln-Obama analogy is pretty good.

  • @aj

    I think she does fancy you, evil Asshole of the World.

    Her posts do explain one thing some of us have been struggling with: Hillary Supporter History, Mathemmatics, & Poly Sci.

    According to her, 3/7=most of:

    In my haste to respond to the Asshole of the World AJCaFOOL I combined two thoughts into one...MOST of the men AJ feels are superior presidents OWNED SLAVES, and Hillary is BETTER THAN ALL OF THEM....

    You people are so stupid you make Rush Limbaugh look like a genuis....and so evil the devil would be proud.....

    PTG, you sure got me! Stoopider than Rush and twice as evil. You should be proud, Texas Girl! Clearly, I've been pwned.

    Now that I've had my LOLZ, I'll stop feeding the troll.

  • Not really Democrats

    I suspect negative divisive comments here towards both Obama and Clinton are being made by right bloggers who are not even Democrats. They are jut right wingers trying to stir up controversy instead of intelligent dialog.

  • New Hampshire, the Supremes & Abe Lincoln

    The Republicans stripped Michigan and Florida of half their delegates. New Hampshire has historically gone early. -

    They also stripped NH of half of their delegates, so the GOP treated FL, MI & NH the same; the DNC did not.

    NH has historically gone early, but this year they want too early according to DNC rules. So either rules are rules, in which case NH should be stripped of all of its delegates at the DNC, or rules are not rules, in which case MI & FL should not be stripped of their delegates.

    Democrats Who Won't Vote for Obama

    Full confession here: I did not vote for Obama in my primary. However, he clearly will win the nomination. Given that, I have a question for any Democrat who says s/he won't vote for him in November: Do you really want to hand McCain the Supreme Court nominations?

    McCain thinks we need more justices like Scalia and Alito. Do you really want that to happen? Will you be able to live with the consequences (and with yourself) if that happens?

    This argument may work with Democrats, but it won't cut it with Independants, Undecideds and Swing Voters. There's little evidence that these voters place much importance on on who gets to nominate whom to the Supreme Court. Otherwise, the Democrats would have won more than 3 out of the last 10 Presidential contests.

    Moreover, a lot of people will say it's not a problem because, depsite what he says, McCain will be forced to nominate relatively moderate justices because the Demoratics hold the majority in the Senate.

    Of course, the Democrats in the Senate could always cave on McCain's nominations who could imagine that?. But that's not exactly an argument that would likely impress most of those same voters, i.e. please vote for Obama because the Democrats are such weenies they'll let McCain do whatever he wants.

    Experience

    "here has never before been a candidate so lacking in integrity and basic qualifications as Obama. We will do all we can to keep him out of the White House."

    Well, let's see. I can think of a candidate. He was a successful lawyer in Illinois, but had only 2 terms in the state legislature and 1 term in the congress before running and winning the Presidency.

    That man was Abraham Lincoln. He did OK, and so will Obama.

    Of course, Lincoln's election sparked the Civil War, but hey, no big deal. Not to mention there's been only one Lincoln in the entire history of this country; arguing that Obama will do OK because Lincoln did OK is taking hope to an extreme.
