The Trail: A Daily Diary of Campaign 2008

One flower doesn't make a spring. This victory for Hillary is like a candle that flares up with a brighter light before it is extinguished. Obama is the person who will reshape our destiny as a people and that of the world. Obama will be the president because he is the making of this epoch.

Hillary's fans don't count according to THE math. She is almost one million mvotes behind Obama. Clintonistas are county the Florida and Michigan state as 100 percent wins for Clinton. Those two states do not count. Hillary signed, as did Obama, that she would accept DNC rules for those two states. Sorry.

thank you so very much, Hillary Clinton.

Look up Obama's speech in 2004. Hilary makes MANY references to the fact that he is just a speech . . . but look up his 15 minute speech and you'll see that not only is there that consistency here 4 years later, but the authentic nature of his story. Obama, believe it or not, is the real deal for America. Here we are, Clinton pulling out the biggest guns she's got, and the only thing they can find is his pastor and the word "bitter" (which has been ridiculously transformed into "bittergate" . . . the media needs to quite attaching Watergate to everything . . . seriously!), that's the only thing they can find. Now think back to the Clinton years, the scandals, the "Right Wing Conspiracy" crap, it goes on and on and on. Yeah, Obama has a big question mark by him, but isn't that the way of America? Haven't we developed from there? Remember the days when "Politicians" (for example, Truman) served the country and then returned to their home? When did we inherit career politicians? Obama is hopefully the first in a long line of challengers to the current broken system that needs to be dismantled. If we refuse to bear arms to bring down this government that will not represent us, we need to do this by peaceful means. Barack Obama is the first step on this path toward redeeming America to ourselves and to the world. Now is the time for action.

Awww,

Barack Hussein's O'Bombing! :-(

LMFAO! ;~)

I support Obama and will vote for either Clinton or Obama come November. Any Obama or Clinton supporter who cannot say the same is not only not a real Democrat, but has really not been paying attention to what 8 years of Bush II has done. The vitriol in these comments is amazing. Clinton's and Obama's voting records are nearly identical. Clinton has a slightly better health plan, Obama is a bit stronger on exiting Iraq. Personally I think Obama will have a better chance to set right our relations with the international community and that's important. But dang. I would vote for Clinton over McCain just on grounds of Supreme Court nominations. And Clinton supporters who can't say the same (or other Obama supporters who can't) are just playing junior high school class president games.

I can understand why Clinton refuses to give up. It is an admirable trait.

For example, I'm sure that John McCain admires it.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. You apparently are a Clinton supporter, representing the uneducated and uniformed based on the way you are unable to correctly string a sentence.

It looks like Hillary is winning by about 10 points in PA. She needs like a 20 point win here to even have a chance at the nomination. So why is this a "victory" for her?

LOL!! A win is a win (especially if she overtakes the total POPULAR vote with this result ; )

It is no surprise she won this state. She has family ties there, she is the wife of a former President, who once upon a time ago, was deeply loved, she has 15 years of getting to know the Pennsyvanian's ahead of Obama.

What would be sad if she is unable to pull a 20 pt lead with all of the influence she has.

Nationally, however, she apparently doesn't have that much support because she is unable to garner the funds as Obama has. The nation is for Obama, and it is indicative funds he has raised from his millions of grassroots supporters making small donation for the Movement.

Hilliary's campaign win in PA is a disappointment if she only wins by 10 or less.....

Obama 08

She is like the crazy ex-girlfiend that crashes her x-boyfriend's wedding...

The wedding goes on, but she looks pathetic and a spoiler, and makes everyone cringe and pity her.

She is selfish, grubby and thuggish and is now solely relying on McCarthyism and the counter punches from RNC and McCain to destroy Obama.

She is succeeding in hurting Obama, but as another horrible consequence, she is also harming the rest of the Dem candidates this November.

If she continues the Dem will have less than half of the money compared to what it will be if she withdraws now and Obama can go on the offensive against McCain and the Republicans. WISE UP DEMOCRATS. STOP THE SELF DESTRUCTION.

Bill's reputation, for it was worth, is now that of a racist Joe McCarthy.

Heck of a Job Clintons.

Take that you Obamabots!
DNC I hope you're paying attention. No matter how much you try to shove Obama down our throats, we puke him back up.

Just sent Hillary another donation.

Hillary Clinton '08

Drudge Report (PA Precincts Reporting 22%)

CLINTON 248,905

OBAMA 220,301

28,604 difference

If that holds up, she will easily win by more than 94,000 votes (28,604 x 4 = 143,020). Total POPULAR vote, here she comes!!!

As a Pacific Northwesterner, I feel like a salmon watching this campaign -- swim upstream for weeks, then finally get screwed and die.

If Clinton manages to steal the Democratic nomination, I'll vote Libertarian.

All she needs is 94,000 votes over Obama to claim the lead in total POPULAR vote nationwide.
