Clinton lies in new ad. What a shock. I am shocked, I tell you.
She has in the entire primary season had huge problems with the truth. Exaggeration, false claims, claims that Obama does stuff that she does MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH WORSE, it goes on and on.
She has lost my support in ANY future campaign of any sort.
Is there a point that I am missing with this column? Is it earthshattering to the writer that spin goes on in politics.
The race is over, when can you folks stop kicking Hillary?
hillary is still delusional. Its about the delegates!!!!
Pureto Rico does not matter as they cannot vote in the general election.
The new magic number is 2188 total delegates for the nomination.
Obam has 2054.5 (63.5 short of the nomination)
HIllaryhas 1880.5 (237.5 short of teh nominaton.).
Thre are only 170 super dlegates who have not pledged.
It will be over for Hillary on Tuesday.
She needs to concede.
The race is over, when can you folks stop kicking Hillary?
When she stops kicking our Party's nominee?
1) she concedes
2) she shakes Barack's hand in fraternal Democratic solidarity; and
3) she ensures that her supporters vote for Barack.
So, it's not one-sided disarmament. Hillary must disarm, and then we will too.
"The race is over, when can you folks stop kicking Hillary?"
Huh?
People will stop "kicking" Hillary as soon as she stops trying to take the nomination from Obama. She's the one responsible for the current climate - by virtue of her refusal, thus far, to accept her loss - and she's the one who took out the ad which prompted this Salon.com article.
What, you think we should just all ignore her attacks on Barack Obama?
Obama, as you might have noticed, has already switched his focus to John McCain. The only reason any of his supporters are still focused on Hillary is because we're trying to remove some of the toxic slanders which have come out her her campaign.
So long as she's trying to undercut his status as the Democratic nominee, she's going to subject herself to vigorous scrutiny. If it's "kicking" her to fight back, what on earth is what she's doing? Stabbing the rest of us - those who want to make sure McCain isn't our next president - in the back?
After saturday's MI/FL ruling and todays delegate haul, it's become apparent that Hillary's only chance of getting the nomination is if the pledged delegates break with their state's primary results and force a second round of voting.
And Hillary's supporters are ok with this? So long as their candidate wins they don't mind if we toss out valid election results from legal contests - yet they'll fight like rabid animals to get illegal contests counted?
Really, can anyone not understand why there is so much vitriol against her?
She's not counting Obama's votes from Iowa, Nevada, Texas, etc... one of the caucus states, some of which didn't even release voter numbers, just estimates...
This according to Chuck Todd on MSNBC, Todd being the ONLY talking head who actually reports ONLY on what he knows, usually the numbers, not what MIGHT happen.
So she doesn't even have the case for her case.
We'll stop slamming her to the ground when she stops slamming Obama and continuing her futile quest for the nomination. She lost, and that's all there is to it.
She ran an arrogant, often incompetent campaign and paid the price for it.
Da man is owed the nomination and Donna BraBullfrog says they'll b riots if he don't get his right. Never mind that that America and even the majority of what's left of this pathetic debacle of a party resoundingly doesn't want his inexperienced Muslim tailbone.
You go, vile ones. I'm sure President McCain will be impressed.
As a sixth generation Democrat, whose ancestors were among the first elected Democrats in this country, I will never consider voting for Obama.
Not even if Hillary asks me to. It's not her responsibility to convince me to unify behind Obama's candidacy - it's his own. And at every turn he takes the low road when it would be just as easy to set a good example by rising above petty politics. But noooo.
If his lead in delegates is so formidable, why not offer a better deal to Clinton over MI/FL? Why not apologize when yet another personal associate of his attacks her? And on and on and on.
Although, I'm not going to put a lot of energy into this. I learned long ago it's impossible to argue with Obama supporters, who are so blinded by hatred of the Clintons at this point that he could be caught in bed with an entire flotilla of live boys or dead girls, as the old saying goes, and still be supported in spades by these people.
Which is their right, I suppose, except that they're going to subject the rest of the nation - and indirectly many other nations - to this fiasco as well. There's simply no way Obama can win without Hillary's supporters, and he's done nothing, absolutely zero, at this point to reach out to us. Instead, he encourages his supporters to insult us and to mimic his childish, belittling behavior at every turn.
Many of Hillary's supporters are still behind her because we've seen recent polling data. Even a cursory glace at RCP.com gives up the lie.
In Ohio, out of three polls taken in recent weeks (SUSA, Quinnipiac, Rasmussen) ONE of them has Obama in the lead (SUSA). The other two both show McCain leading, while Hillary is up between 7 and 11 points in the same polls taken over the same periods.
In PA, yeah, Obama's up - half as much as Clinton (again, same polls taken over same time period. Obama up an average of 6, which sounds good, until you consider that Clinton's up 12.
Also, what happened to Obama supporters championing both Georgia and Virginia? Obama's down in both states. In Virginia only by a couple points, but in Georgia he's down by nearly 14 points. I'm sure they'll cling to Colorado, but given the state has voted Democratic once in the last fifty years (for Bill Clinton, ironically), I'll believe it when I see it.
Oh, and right now McCain up 3 vs. Obama in Missouri, while Clinton's up 2 over McCain. Apparently she's closed 7 points on McCain in two months, according to Rasmussen.
Given that Ohio, Missouri and Tennessee have voted with the winner in every election for the past forty years, these numbers are likely ominous portends of what's in store. Not that I'm bothering to look up Tennessee, since Obama will never in a million years win there.
Right now the polling website 270towin.com shows Obama with less than a 1% chance of winning the general election. It won't be Hillary's fault when Obama loses the general election by ten points or more. It'll be his own; the Democratic Party's, for rigging the game in favor of the inferior candidate; and that of Obama's rabid supporters, who were so determined to tear down the Clintons that they're willing to subject the rest of the country - and in fact the world - to the worst that the Republican Party can dish out.
In fact, at this point, I almost hope Obama gets the nomination and advances to his crushing defeat, just to shut these cretins up. Unfortunately, the "we told you so" Clinton supporters will be able to deliver in spades isn't going to be sweet enough to wash the taste of four more years of Republican political leadership out of our mouths.
At least Dems are still ahead in many Senate races. Here's hoping the negative effects of Obama's candidacy - once Republican attacks begin in earnest - doesn't drag many of them down with him.
