Maybe this will finally get her whining dead end supporters to shut up.

you wonder why they wouldn't "shut up."

Frankly it's disgusting how so many people have so much hatred in their hearts, and see what we've got now - a neo-con in Democratic clothing.

Welcome to the Party.

The "no women but Hillary" line is so utterly repulsive it immediately diminishes every person who lets it slip--apparently there's only one vagina in the country that comes attached to a brain. Fine start to your Salon gig, Thomas.

And I'm not whining.

Good thing you and your ilk can hide behind the internet...

Because, quite frankly, I would TOTALLY get off on beating the cowboy shit out of you...

... just derision mingled with pity.

I just assumed at this point from reading Salon that Obama is already the President and Prince of Peace of the World. Is there seriously any point in wasting the time and effort in even having a convention anymore?

Also is there a Constitutional requirement to HAVE a running mate and VP? I don't believe there is. I hope Obama runs w/o a Veep who would obviously be incinerated in the naked light of the Lord anyway.

The more snarky comments I hear from Republicans about how Obama is some sort of reincarnation of the Lord, the more desperate they seem. Is that really all you guys can come up with to complain about?

Indications are that she's on Obama's short list. I think she's a bit dull, but she's a popular governor of Kansas, which gives her more executive experience than either HRC or Obama. And unlike some of the other names you hear, she was an early opponent of the Iraq war, which shows she has better judgment than most politicians.

I'm guessing that there are a whole lot more McCain supporters who honestly think Obama is the anti-Christ than there are Obama supporters who think Obama is the messiah.

But mostly I think McCain supporters are just having a hard time understanding what it's like to support someone worth being enthusiastic about.

I'm a democrat and I think Obama is the anti-christ.

Obama not picking Hillary for VP will show how power hungry and narcististic he is. Hillary should be VP.

And Obama will have a huge downward bump in the polls if he does not pick Hillary. Most Hillary supporters are prob holding out now, but if he does not pick here, it will bring back fresh wounds. People will be angry.

And picking another women would be incredibly insulting. It's not just the position. Its going down in history as the first women VP. Hillary gave her life to this campaign, and she should have that honor.

Because traditional white males have done such a fan-f*cking-tastic job of running the country to date. I still hold out hope that he'll pick someone else.

Please tell me it ain't so!

I can't believe Obama would do this. Kaine is anti-choice. While I realize that the indies and republicans who are rah-rah-rah'ing for Obama laud this guy (hell, he's a white guy, so why wouldn't they?), this is not a choice that most women (and a lot of men) could accept. I certainly couldn't.

And after Obama decided to move BACK to the middle, disappointing and angering people on the left, if he chooses Kaine, it will create tremendous anger and a deep divide in the Democratic Party between Democrats and faux-dems (the indies/republicans posing as Dems).

is getting really old and very tiresome. White men (especially the faux Democrats - Indies, Republicans-turned Dem for Barack) need to get over their woman fear and hatred. And they especially need to grow up when it comes to Hillary Clinton. They sound like pre-pubescent dweebs with their whining on and on about Hillary Clinton.

I don't hate Hillary Clinton. I do hate a certain species of Clinton supporter though, the kind who "threaten" to stay home in November if Obama doesn't do X, Y, and Z. Which is fine - I believe everyone should vote for the candidate who best represents his or her interests, or stay home if you can't vote your conscience. Just please, stop inflating your own importance with these idle threats. Nobody cares who these folks are going to vote for and capitulating to these people would be a tremendous waste of Obama's time. Hillary supporters who are still smarting from the fact that their candidate simply lost are not going to be persuaded by any rational means.

Search for the YouTube piece on donations received by SuperDelegates who endorsed Obama contrary to the votes of their states and districts...That's who to blame if the Democrats lose.

I am making a list of Democrats from the names of those listed in that YouTube listing the amounts of "donations" to Super Delegates who subsequently endorsed Obama. Their endorsements were contrary to the primary results in their states and their districts who overwhelmingly went for Clinton. Those are the heads that should roll.

This isn't democracy at work but something far more sinister. Obama is backed by the same neo-cons who support McCain. They can't go wrong, which ever one wins, or loses. It reminds me of the oil heavies in Texas who donate to both party's candidates for Texas Railroad Commission.

More pivotal than SCOTUS appointments from my POV is the threat of both candidates to propose the "partial privitization" of Social Security, euphamastically referred to as "entitlement reform." Diverting tax monies to the stock market, now there's an idea for economic reform.

Between the greed of the tax-cut crowd and the selfishness of the young people who don't want to pay Social Security taxes, or any assessment for Universal Health care for that matter, this coalition will torpedo our nation's remaining social safety nets. Welcome to the Third World.
