Viva Hillary Clinton!

Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

    Katetex: Hillary has won this nomination, by any fair measure

    Katetex

    You mention that the Texas votes that Hillary won, needed to be reduced by the caucus votes that she lost. How can this be true. I was under the impression, that you "had" to vote in the primaries, and could only vote in the caucuses if you had already voted in the primaries. Doesn't that mean, that caucus votes are merely a duplication of the votes already taken in the primaries? Many people didn't make it to the caucuses, that did make it to the primaries, but there were not "any additional votes for Obama" in the caucuses. Obama got the same votes in the caucuses, that he had already gotten in the primaries.

    It makes me sick that there is such rampant misogyny in this country, and that so much of it is in media, and so much anti-women sentiment is felt by self-loathing or self-deprecating women.

    Mike Madden is one more writer that feels it necessary to emphasize that Hillary has lost this nomination, as if no one knows it. He feels compelled to repeat the obvious; as if he's overjoyed at the outcome. What a pig; what a loathsome fool.

    I strongly feel, that Hillary should exhaust every possible remaining avenue that she can find, to prolong this contest until the very end. She has been treated so unfairly, by women-haters, by irrational Hillary-haters, by woefully ignorant and uninformed Obama stooges, but mostly, by far, by media, that she should push every possible way of staying in this race. Let these bastards sweat for every vote. Obama is unworthy of the nomination, and it makes perfect sense to me, that women and men that support Hillary, should refuse to vote for a candidate that has been forced on us, by media that has savaged, humiliated and attacked Hillary, non stop, at every turn, and coddled, defended and supported Obama, while refusing to give him the vetting voers needed to make an intelligent choice, until he had the nomination sewed up, and even now, refuse to reveal everything we need to know about this clown. Now, after months of vicious attacks against Hillary, by Obama goons, after media's ugly unfairness, they come to us asking for our support!!! I say hell no. Women's reproductive rights are all important, and only one issue can subordinate them, the denial of the most fundamental right of all: that of being treated with respect by your fellow citizes. If they curse, call you foul names, and treat you like shit, what right have they to come to you later, asking for your votes? It astonishes me that the same men (and sadly, women) that cursed, and sought to abuse, insult and humiliate Hillary, now come to us trying to bribe us with the fear of McCain's possible anti-reproductive rights nominations for the Supreme

    Court, to get our votes. Obama and his supporters, are no better than McCain and his followers.
