Unfortunate. Really unfortunate. I'm a lifelong Democrat, but if Clinton wins the nomination, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to sit this election out. She's little better than the Republican candidates.

It's really a shame that Salon (or maybe just you, Joan) is so fired up about her.

Two people must be extra pleased: McCain and slimebag Mark Penn. What a downer. We have a chance to nominate the most transformative candidate in decades and are set to pick: Hillary Clinton. And Bill, who has been so full of shit these past two weeks his eyes turned brown. And Penn. And McAuliffe. And Carville, Scooter's best bud, husband of Matalin (the DC cocktail party circuit is all atwitter already). I guess there's a silver lining, grayish as it might be: in November, if McCain is the GOP nominee, these people can all go away and the Clinton Era will finally die. Of course, we out in the country will have to deal with the nightmare of Bush Part Three. I say again: thanks, New Hampshire women! You made it all possible!

I'd rather the GOP maintain control of the White House then allow the Clinton's to derail the progressive movement again.

This is a terrible day for any Democrat running a race in a purple state this year. Look at how Hillary got crushed in rural counties, her nomination will cost house seats and could alter the balance of close senate races.

Sheesh.....I am not and was not a Clinton supporter, but the more I hear about how supposedly evil she is, and how Democrats can even consider staying home rather that vote for her (or at least the party that is supposedly supported) in the general, the more I just may vote for her on Feb. 5.

Keep at it boys, you just may piss us all off, from NH to CA.

Now, where's my copy of Lysistrata?...

Hey people, were you awake when Obama was rhapsodizing over Ronald Reagan, a notorious union buster? I say shame on him for that bizarre remark. Reagan's values were not those of the Democratic party, and Obama's remark was shameless pandering to invite Republicans and independents of that mind set to cross over to vote for him. Shame on the Culinary Union for pressuring union workers. I say, you go girl, Hillary!

Congratulations Hillary. You didn't let negative media coverage or last minute attack ads stop you.

Hillary Clinton just earned another convincing win and yet every pundit on every network is spinning the victory downward. Many of these commentators can hardly contain their spite and are insisting that Barack Obama is still "the frontrunner" in this race--and I grow angrier everyday by their presumption.

Congratulations to the brave culinary union members who stood up to the undemocratic pressures exerted upon them by their leadership. To me this is proof enough of the level of support Clinton has, and how underestimated she is by all.

My question is now this: At what point will Obama finally be recognized as the viable vice-presidential candidate he is versus the presidential candidate he never should have been?

Get used to it. Get behind her and tell your buddy Tim Grieve to go work for MSNBC, so he can bash hillary full time.

I see the usual Hillary haters are still on the job. You aren't real Democrats - you're not even grown-ups. First you use the GOP slime machine accusations to justify demonizing your favorite's opponent. Then, when your favorite's opponent wins, you pout and say, "Nah, nah! I won't voter for her. I'll stay home, or I'll vote for the Republican." Shame on you. Get out of the party. We don't need creeps like you who don't know what party solidarity means. You're so stupidly selfish that you're ready to vote for a permanently reactionary U.S. Supreme Court. Don't tell me there's no difference between Hillary Clinton and the GOP. That's what happened when Kennedy and McCarthy supporters sat on their hands in the campaign until it was too late. Nixon won, and that was the beginning of a more and more conservative Federal judiciary. Who paid the price for that? Minorities, gays, women workers. Who were the winners? Corporations, NRA, GW Bush! If you follow through on your threats not to support the Democratic candidate, get the Hell out of the party. If we can't count on you, we dohn't want you.

Here's how: We were THISCLOSE to ending the DLC-corporatist-Iraq-War-Supporting Clinton Era ... but NH women got all miffed about the big bad men being mean to that apparently powerless naif Hillary Clinton, the U.S. Senator married to a former President. Hey, if you like her, great. But she will flush out every hick, rube, hayseed religioso nut job in the country to vote against her, and if by some miracle she wins ... get ready for more NAFTAs, saber-rattling (to assure us all she's not 'weak') and all the rest.

This Dem is grinning from ear-to-ear! Senator Clinton has spent a lifetime earning her way to this office, and she's going to make it! I can feel it in my bones and I'm so proud of her. So proud!

The whole point of a labor movement is that it is supposed to use "solidarity" for the greater good of all the members -- including when you have a candidate endorsement. Sure it is a "roll of the dice," but you are hoping to get a reward eventually.

The Clintons may rue the day they encouraged labor union members to tell their own leaders to go fly a kite...and to encourage leaders from other labor groups to come in and get the members of a different union to vote against their own organization.

Can this really be good for the Democratic Party and for encouraging unions to endorse Democrats candidates in the future? Do the Clintons ever think about the future of the Party -- or of anyone but themselves?

And, if there was ANY encouragement by ANY Clinton supporters in Nevada to fan the flames of Latino/African American discomfort with each other -- that will also come back to haunt our Party. We need BOTH of these groups -- for moral AND practical reasons.

I am sorry, but it is this kind of "self-centered hardball" that is starting to really turn me off. I have loved and defended the Clintons for years but this is discouraging.
