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

  • Since 1976, Actually

    I voted for Carter after Nixon was gone. Sweet lord, the brain is shriveling even as I type....

  • @Abe_jrdn

    That has been my experience as well. Almost every person I know voted for Clinton in the primary and not a single one of them would even consider voting to re-elect McBush. One or two of them said they might have to hold their nose, but they know what's at stake. That's why I'm certain that Texas Girl, ShawnWm and the other hard core Obama bashers are acting in concert together. Yesterday I thought they might just be dittoheads trying to stir up a little mischief, now I'm convinced they represent a special interest(not HRC)and McCain is more likely to deliver what they want than Obama. What is it about Obama that scares them so. It's not the color of his skin either. What is it that Clinton and McCain have in common, but not Obama? Answer that riddle and you will understand the peculiar behavior of ShawnWm, Texas Girl and the rest of their little circle-jerk.

  • @AJCalhoun, see disappointment, and horror of

    So what happened? Are you in the John Dean school of conservatism?

  • @YogiBarrister

    Bingo!!

  • @meffert - more silence

    What you did not address was the reason I cannot vote for Obama: his complicity in the smearing of the Clintons as race mongerers. This has absolutely nothing to do with DNC mechanics. Absolutely nothing at all. And since you didn't address the heart of the matter, it's to be assumed that there is no getting around it. And there isn't.

  • Yo, Fester

    Sorry buddy, maybe it's the late hour, but you lost me this time. Come again?

  • AJCalhoun Republicans then and now

    What is your opinion of what happened to the Republican party? John Dean has his view (Conservatives without Conscience). He won't just yet call them facist, but uses the term proto-authoritarian.

  • No Obama, No Way

    Proud Texas Girl, Kate Tex, AKA Smith, ShawnWM, Lolcait....shine on. Leave these filty lying bastards and bitches to their own hate and destiny.

  • @KateTex

    KateTex: "Talk about whining, sheesh! That there was a hum dinger."

    I'm sure it bugs you even dumber knowing I've got your number.

  • Oh one more thing

    it's "filthy" not "filty"...pardon my haste. As for this site - look at the ads - who the f*ck owns this rag now...and all you supposedly 'educated, well-to-do liberals' (yeah right), how many of you want to live around your 'brothers and sisters' on the 'other side of the tracks'???? Didn't think so.

  • @XH

    bravo well done! The only thing I would add is completely ignore the question of class and how"middle class" is defined..200k or 100k is middle class NOWHERE on earth...sorry just my pet peeve around here.

  • What about JFK?

    JFK was 500 delegates behind at this point in his race in 1960. He won WV in a landslide, then went on the the convention to win the nomination.

    I continue to be shocked at journalists who feel entitled to write articles like this. Isn't your job to act as an objective check on the government? "No longer content to be observers of the campaign, journalists now see themselves as active players in the unfolding drama, and they show no hesitation trying to dictate the basics of the contest, like who should run and who should quit. It's as if journalists are auditioning for the role of the old party bosses...With Clinton, though, the press seems to have almost complete disregard for the [over 16] million voters who have backed her candidacy, as well as the idea that she is their representative in this race. Instead, they treat her entire campaign as some sort of vanity exercise in which voters do not exist."--Eric Boelhert, Media Matters

    "Another way of looking at the status of the candidates is to use 2004 election results to ask how many 2004 Electoral College votes in states that John Kerry won does each candidate have to date. In fact, if one sums the Electoral College vote of the states that went Democrat in 2004 according to whether Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama prevailed, one finds that Sen. Clinton again leads, with 159 of the 2004 Democratic Electoral College votes in her column vs. 85 in Sen. Obama's column. "--Beth Daponte, sr. research scholar Inst. for Social & Policy Studies at Yale 5/4/08

    But then, again, maybe the Democrats don't really want to win. Maybe they just want all the new money Obama has brought into the party, and maybe the office holders just want to get re-elected.

    POSTED BY ONE OF OVER 16 MILLION VOTERS WHO HAVE VOTED FOR SEN. CLINTON SO FAR. WE EXIST, AND WE MATTER. And no Democrat can win in the fall without us.

    NOBODY around here wants to actually discuss class or the poor...it would require some thought and self examination

  • MSM shareholders

    I honestly am not a conspiracy theorist, but I just cannot help but think how this fractured dem party which was on its way to winning the presidency easily has committed hari kari yet AGAIN. Really, the dems should be given some special consideration for always finding a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I just think that someone should have been prescient enough to know that a truly unified party had to happen and these candidates battling against each other was death in the GE. The MSM has given us this mess and is a profit making entity. They always come out for republicans in the end because they are profit making entities. We have no democracy, but at least the dems will lose this time around with no direct help from Scalia.

  • What a waste of MONEY and TIME

    No matter the money or time that the Clintons may have, if Obama is the Democratic nominee come November 11, 2008 the winner of the National Presidential ballot will be John McCain. My reasoning is based upon all the whites who will vote for McCain because they can't abide a person of color being the President of the United States of America. This is just a prediction, nothing more nor nothing less. To bad Barack, I think you would do a great job. It couldn't be any worse than W or Nixon or Jimmy C. I'm a supporter of Hillary but many Republican jackasses have crossed over and voted for Obama in primaries like Texas.
