The Trail: A Daily Diary of Campaign 2008

We'll be just fine once HRC is out of the contest. She is bringing out the worst in us. It's time for us to get our respect back in the world. After 8 years of bullying Republican leadership our image is toast. Now here is McCain to offer more thoughtless leadership. Heck he can't even get the players right.

To JakeD:
I was away and therefore I wasn't able to respond to you in quick time. Anyway, it's never too late.

Your Superbowl analogy is way off the mark. The two things aren't of the same equation. Why are you so stubborn not to accept the reality?

Look at the superdelegates. One by one they are abandoning your favorite and joining the Obama bandwagon. You think they are wrong as well? Look man, the math doesn't add up which ever way you look at it. Why don't you understand that simple truth.

Hillary can play the game till the final whistle is blown. But do you think that will somehow change the inevitable outcome? Why do guys like you regard Obama as an enemy or an outcast? After all, he is a Democrat as well. Hillary and Obama had a fair fight. But the party faithfuls have made the choice. Why is it so difficult for you guys to accept the truth and move on?

What makes Hillary Clinton think that Barack Obama can't get to White voters? It seems the media is so busy portraying him as an African American, they neglect to tell people that his mother was a White working class woman from Kansas and that his White grandparents, raised him. As to Rev. Wright, Bill Clinton invited him to the White House to pray with him after the Monica scandal. There is a picture showing Bill shaking hands with Wright. Why not show that to the American people? Hillary has lied on so many occasions that I have lost track and still some people can't see her for the self-serving person she is. Who wants Bill Clinton in the White House again so we can have another scandal.

Two other Democrats described Clinton's options is dire terms. "Withdraw with honor and grace, or lose without either, forever cementing her -- their -- image as selfish, indifferent to party or cause," This is a terrific analogy and this is where the clintons are truly at in this race. Staying in their constant 'state of denial' and leveling more political terrorist blows will ultimately provide them with "LOSS OF 'ALL' RESPECT BY THE MAJORITY DEMOCRATIC PUBLIC AND LOSS OF ANY 'POLITICAL FUTURE' FOR THEM BOTH"! They would have been so much better off trying to unite this Party than to be seen as SELFISH, DIVISIVE, AND EXTREMELY ARROGANT!

Hillary Clinton continue to fight is her ego problem. She is a self-important, deceiver, liar, and an extrame selfish person. She never think about voters, Democratic Party. Her issues and arguments are all "PERSONAL" (Her NH tears in front of reporters in the coffee shop. She won NH.), the tools to reach and preside in The White House. She wants to be THE QEEN OF WHOLE WORLD. She wants to write another chapter of her own "LIVING HISTORY". Continuing stay as long as she can, she may write more and makes more money. (To pay off debits.) even she knows now she will be the loser.

Remember congress impeachment of Bill Clinton's womanizing in The White House? Publishers asked each one to write a book. They not only paid off legal debts but also made tens of millions of dollars. I have not heard they share a pency to the girl who made them celebrities.

A SOLUTION FOR AMERICA II

If my first plan doesn't work for the American people, this will be my second proposal.

America will then need least 6 or up to 50 Presidents. Fifty States, fifty divided nations. We will start off with a president for all Native-Americans,(AKA "OWNERS AND FOUNDING FATHERS OF USA")European-Americans (AKA "White People"), African-Americans (AKA "Black People"), Hispanic-Americans, (AKA "Illegal Immigrants"), Asian-Americans (AKA "SMART PEOPLE"), and Arabian-Americans (AKA "Terrorists"). Or everybody can just pack up there S..., families and belongings and return to where we all came form. What do you think? YAKSHEMACH!

Obama, Clinton, and McCain.

My vote is on sale for $33,000,000.00 Dollar. You can't blame me for not proposing my offer. I was inspired by the proposal made by one of the DNC "Superdelegate" early today.

My Deadline is November of 2008

Great Success

A SOLUTION FOR AMERICA

MY FELLOW AMERICANS, SINCE OUR POPULATION IS APPROX. 300,000,000 MILLION. THIS IS MY PLAN WHEN I BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN 2016. I WILL START OFF WITH A "STIMULUS PACKAGE" OF $1,000,000.00 MILLION DOLLAR FOR EACH PERSON. THIS IS MY PERSON BELIEF, IF WE CAN SPEND BILLION OF DOLLARS IN IRAQ AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD (FOR MOST FOLLY REASONS), WE CAN BEGIN HELPING OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE EVEN MORE. VOTE FOR AL-QUSO 13 IN 2016. THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Clinton's arguments for staying in the nomination race are racists ... To suggest that anyone would not vote for an east indian in Louisiana, a chinese in washington state just because of their color or race is absolutely the lowest in desperation ... I have lost respect for this family ... I purchased all of their books ... and held them in high esteem until what I have seen in the last week or so

Hillary should stay in the race. The longer she stays in, the more damage gets done to the Democrat party. Heck, if she could somehow get all of the superdelegates to throw out Hussein, it would virtually destroy the democrat party!

GOOOOOOO Hillary! Don't quit now! (Quit in October)...

Hey, stupid white people need a hero, too.Thank you Hillary, we're tired of being controlled by all those people that kin read. They think thur so smart.I got to go back to werk now and finish kleenig out my greese trap. My cousin is cummin by later to go possum huntin.

Former First Lady, where have you put your dignity and grace?

what is it with the nightly circle jerk of idiots who spout nothing but illogical, nonsensical, empty threats and criticisms?

...can you not scrounge up one original or thoughtful thing to say about either candidate?...or better yet, the article?

i get it, you don't like obama, but what are you...twelve?...talk about his policies...or better yet, debate what you think are the merits of clinton's policies...

enough of the immature, idiotic, paranoid nonsense...no one cares to hear you shout, and your less than eloquent powers of persuasion are failing miserably.

Here's the audio of Hillary marginalizing the black vote:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfidftLe5Z0

New Hillary campaign slogans:

In your heart, you know she's white.

Things were better in the 90s. The 1890s.

Why do you think they call it the WHITE House?

Not everyone has a role.

A hardworking white person. Just like you.

Arbeit macht frei.

Obama didn't do much here in Chicago, if anything, he blended right in with the corruption that's been rampant for ages. Just look at his pal Tony Rezko, Obama was able to purchase his mansion thanks to the sweet deal with Rezko, (almost forgot Nadhmi Auchi he helped in that deal too) Tony Rezko, who was also a slum lanlord, among other things. Some of these slum buildings were located right in Obama's district, not very far from his own home. During one Chicago winter people living in one of these slums (in Obama's district) had to go as long as 5 weeks with no heat, this was just one of the problems the residents had to deal with. But Obama played the blind man about all this. But we're suppose to believe he can bring Change to entire Country.

Now He's a first-term U.S Senator, and a great majority of this time has been spent on campaigning and running for President. So not a great deal there either.

There's a lot more things I could have touched on, but this alone is enough for me
to ask, how can people believe that this is a person who has the qualifications and experience necessary to hold the highest office in this Country? Especially during a time when we have so many serious issues going on.

A SOLUTION FOR AMERICA

WE NEED MORE THAN ONE PRESIDENTS. Since Americans are so racist and full of hate. We need more than one presidents. A president for the Native-Americans, European-Americans (AKA "Whites"), African-Americans (AKA Blacks), Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and a president Arab-Americans (AKA-Terrorists), and Others. The "White House" can than become "The United Nations House of Human Diversity". This is what "They" meant by the "melting pot". Vote "AL-QUSO 13" for YES, I AGREE or "AL-QUSO GET-OBL" for I DISAGREE.

Stan:

I'm not paranoid. Nonetheless, you didn't answer my question -- is it IMPOSSIBLE?

I want to be like that guy on YouTube about Britney

LEAVE HILLARY ALONE !!

Elam
"It took a WHOLE LOT MORE ... WHITE-Skinnned PEOPLE to Speak Out, Stand Up, and FIGHT for the right of ALL Americans to be Free, and, judged not on Skin Color but on the content of their character....than it did dark-skinned people."

Are you kidding me!! How many people died and were torn from their families before that happened? Free, from my understanding although slavery was abolished, JIM CROW was live and active.

By the way don't alot of you know feel pretty stupid that you voted for Bush. Want to feel even worse vote for MCcain!!

You clinton/mclain supporters just love to use cheap tactics and name calling. You love to use Rev Wright as a distraction; Quick question how can you hold a man responsible from the words from another mans mouth? You can't!! Hillary(out of her own mouth-tired or not) just flat out lied, even Sinbad who was there said she lied sniper fire come on. Bill(one of the best presidents we've had) lied under oath. We don't even want to talk about Mcain. Sen. Obama may not be perfect but he is what we need, at least he can admit to his mistakes.

Also:

I have a Christian mother, and went to Bible camp several times as a child. But not I'm a Buddhist, and not a "secret" Christian.

Are you seeing my point yet?

JakeD:

I say it is no more likely that Obama is a "secret Muslim" than it is that you are one, or John McCain is one. My God, how paranoid are you people?

It's clear now that Obama's going to win the nomination. But even though I'm a loyal Democrat, I will never vote for Obama unless he provides satisfactory answers to the following questions:

1. You knew very well throughout your entire 20 years at Trinity Church that the views expressed by Wright at the National Press Club - the USA is the US "KKK", on 9/11 the chickens came home to roost, the US government is responsible for infecting blacks with the AIDS virus, it is Israel's fault that there is a struggle with the Palestinians - were the views that Wright had always advocated from the pulpit.
2. You knew very well from the time you first had any contact with William Ayers that he had admittedly bombed the Pentagon.

To most middle of the road Americans, if the answer to either of these two questions is "Yes", Obama shouldn't be President due to his assent, by his action or inaction, to those with anti-American views. If the answer is "No", Obama shouldn't be President due to his ignorance and gullibility. Does Obama have any adequate argument why these factors don't demonstrate that he should not be President? I have yet to hear them so far.

Stan:

You are claiming it is IMPOSSIBLE than Obama is a secret Muslim lying about being a Christian in order to become President of the United States?

I nearly tremble with despair when I read comments like that of "Christina." Combining bottomless cynicism with ignorance and ugly bigotry -- how toxic is that? I find it hard to believe that so many Americans think that way, but they do.

Hillary continuing in the race is not for herself, but for the sake of the Democratic Party. Because as soon as Obama gets the nomination the Republican Party will start exposing him( drugs, murder, gay sex, tied to Kenya terrorists...) Please go to Larrysinclair0926.wordpress.com. for more info.

I personally do not wish to have a Muslim (albeit "reformed") run our country during these times. Adolph appealed because he spoke to the depression disenfranchised. His hidden agenda didn't remain hidden long. Nope. Let's leave the middle east where it is and elect someone, anyone with absolutely no middle eastern ties, no matter how vague. I applaud Hillary for her bravery and pray good sense prevails and she wins the nomination. Or, God help us! We will become a Muslim world ... then suicide would become a viable option.

Hillary Clinton can now ammend her resume and add 'also ran for president of the United States'. Now the biggest question for her is how to get off the moving train without falling between the wheels. Obama's campaign is in full swing going into the general election. Whereas Hillary is trying to auction off her pantsuit collection on EBay to make money for her troubled campaign.

The last time she went to a restaurant with her entourage, she did a dine and dash trick and walked out without paying tips. Now she claims she has injected another 6 million dollars into her campaign. But still people are not being paid for the services they render to the campaign. Her whole campaign has become pathetic

Throw the bumbs out!

Vote Obama '08

Republican activists, we understand you were expecting maybe a beaten-up Democratic oponent? Beware of prophetic Haikus:

April primaries
bring November surprises,
but bumbs are still bumbs

Actually, Kenyans mixed with Caucasians, are what is commonly called "Arabs".

Middle Easterners at Least!

"Barry", the first of the Lost Tribe of "Obamasites". ;~)

George McGovern endorses the man leading the McGovernite coalition. I am shocked.
Any chance he just wants to see a candidate crushed in the general more than he was in '72?

I'm not sure why people think Obama is really "new politics" when his campaign has been making personal attacks against Hillary by questioning her integrity. The idealists who support Obama need to see politics for what it really is. Maybe Obama believes in achieving his goals "by any means necessary" which is why he's only a good politician, not a great one.

Why is everone referring to Barack Obama as African-American? Surely to qualify for African-American both you father and mother must be African-American? He is equal white and African-American. Just curious.

Not according to rules of ethnicity in the US, which dates back to the days of slavery. Doesn't matter that his parents were bi-racial. (1) drop of negro blood is what defines an African American. Don't know if that includes blood transfusions.

Obama is winning with the well-educated voters. Doesn't that mean anything?
________________________________________
No. Condo Rice is "well-educated", all the NEO-CONS are "well educated"

However, as my grandpa would say, They're ALL educated Idiots. Insane, educated idiots, because ... they are out of touch with REALITY. Something they've been ... sheltered from ... all their lives.

For too long too many wealthy families have sent their children to college (regardless of whether they were "college material" or not ... & Bushco & Condo are the end result ---- just like the children of the "Nobility" in France; after many generations they became the kind of SPOLILED IDIOTS who said things like: "Well, let them eat cake" --- upon being informed of the "news" the peasants were starving, and rioting, because they had no bread.

oh, well .... let me see, said the uneducated peasant to himself ... shall I just sit here and starve ... or ... go staal some bread?

The votes had not been all counted, yet Sen. Clinton stood at the microphones and spoke as if she had just won the nomination. She was not even close. The numbers were not yet all counted in Indiana, still she spoke as if she was the winner. She lost big time in North Carolina not because of people of color as some have suggested but because natural born citizens of the UNited STates have taken a stand against the business as usual in Washington, D.C. Every body knows that Sen. Clinton can never catch up to Sen. Obama's total delegates. Sen. Clinton needs to end her agony now before it becomes even more unbearable.

There's no way I'm voting for Obama. If he was white it wouldn't have even been close. He only won NC because of a bunch of 'people' who don't even deserve to vote. Clinton won real Americans by a huge margin and she is the real nominee.

CONGRATULATIONS, JERK! I MEAN, DIRK! THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST OFFENSIVE POLITICAL OBSERVATION I'VE READ ALL DAY! WTG! FTW! LOL!

The jig is up!

JakeD and Elme-
My friends, Senator Clinton is taking this contest all the way to the General Election in November 2008. She just made a purposal to LIB Construction Co. to start building her a White House of her own in New York, New York. She will become the first female, Commander-In-Chief for New York, Florida, and Michigan. Watch, she's determined to make history.

quoting you,

The point was and the post said, Obama is not on trial, he is not mentionED in the Rezko trial. The Clintons are on trial for fraud. . Look it up. Only the facts although they hurt.
_________________________________________
Better go llok up your Rezko trial info.

Obama was identified as "the politician" Rezko's "straw donor" donated to.

Straw donor, as in: The NAME of a real person, listed as donor of the cash, WHO was not in reality, the donor of the cash. (Generally used to coverup up SOURCES of campaign funds - so that the donors cannot be CONNECTED to FAVORS done by the candidate. (check Chicago Sun Times nsp.)

p.s. do some searching on the web & you will also turn up articles about Obama's campaign finance reports while he was in the Illinois legislature ... listed the law firm he worked for previously, but was not active with at the time ... as the source of his income for one year ... listing the firms hundreds of clients as the sources of income...when, in fact, he had ONLY ONE, NOT LISTED, source of income that year ... a guy/Company named Blackwell (Not the Iraq Blackwell).

i.e. aka: money laundering.

Kip:

While I realize and understand the demographic trends of successful campaigns and am not ignoring the importance of the majority of the constituency, I am merely saying that I believe minority groups and special interest groups have taken on a much more prominent position in American politics. I agree that the national focus of today's legislature has been directed away from the majority of people in many cases, however that is no reason to assume that these minority groups are receiving that attention unfairly.

Also my first post was mostly an ad hominem against the blogger id "dirk". While I am not downplaying the role of white citizens (the majority of voters in America), I was merely stating that "dirk"'s comment that those "other people" have no right to vote was a disgusting remark to have made. I am not black, but I was offended by the blogger's personal attitude.

AS a previous poster asked: WHERE"S the ELECTORAL MAP? The one showing the LIKELY Projected Result of an OBAMA vs. McCain race?

If you've SEEN the maps on CNN every election night ... broken down by county, & its economic, religious, racial, voter history PROFILE ... then doncha THINK they SHOULD have an ELECTORAL MAP showing the likely PROJECTED Result of an Obama McCain race?

Since the MEDIA hasn't seen FIT to show us ONE ... do you THINK it shows Obama .... WINNING? Since the MEDIA is obviously blatantly PRO-Obama doncha THINK they would SHOW IT TO US ... IF ... it DID?

My son is partly black, dear black friend.

Can you please explain to me how you and several of your black friends immediately recognized that "Jesse Jackson lost the SC Primary", and "Lundon Johnson passed the civil rights bill" ,,, was ....CODED... racism?

I don't understand ... HOW ... it could be ...coded ...racism.... if the Intended RECIPIENTS (White people) don't recognize the ...code... but ... black people do.

STILL makes NO SENSE to me. I will be happy to happy to have you explain it to me.

elme:

That was, indeed, an act of war -- look it up.

_________________________________
Oh, my dear, dear ... semanticist ...
yes, hon, it WAS an ACT of WAR, but
sweetuummms....it WAS NOT a WAR.

Nope, I don't. But Tom Ridge, former DHS head himself, admitted that the government manipulated the terror threat matrix in the run-up to the 2004 election. I don't think anything is beyond them - fearmongering is a very potent weapon. Anything to maintain the regime. Heck, was Pearl Harbor a conspiracy to get us into WWII? We may never know.

Do you know?

Quoting your post:
elme - I'm Black. Believe me, it wasn't the media that made me think Bill's comments were racist!! I was a Clinton supporter. The second the words came out of his mouth, I looked at my husband and we both let out a "What the hell did he just say??".
________________________________________

My skin color is white. Those were supposed to be racist "code words" ... the only possible BENEFIT to the Clintons being that ... white people ... would get the "message" ... & Vote against Obama.

Whatever those "words" may have meant to you, I can tell you that NO "white" people would RECOGNIZE them as "code" for ANYTHING. If the Clintons "meant" them to be "code" .... wouldn't most of us white people HAVE to KNOW the "code" in advance?

Have you read the post about what I saw on TV? We HAVE just the ONE snippet: Clinton saying: Jesse Jackson won the SC primary. The MEDIA ... given 2 opportunites to provide us with THE QUESTION, asked on the first instance, AND, asked in the second instance, months later .... DID NOT PROVIDE them.

Lyndon Johnson DID get the civil rights legislation passed. That is a FACT. Jesse Jackson DID lose the SC Primary.

NOW, IF anybody wants ME to take those as ... racist ... remarks, then they are going to have to EXPLAIN, POINT OUT, SHOW ME/ US .... how you figure?

Our vaunted GDP is Las Vegas: we're all sitting around betting on which company will make more money for them - by exporting what's left of our manufacturing base to China. Which, I may add, is laughing all the way to the bank.

I won't be drawn into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent whose only recourse is Ctrl-V. I can copy and paste too, but that doesn't make my arguments any more persuasive.

My point is - vote for whom you want. I'm voting my conscience. And it's none of the above. We have a choice in this country, at least until the October surprise results in the rest of our freedoms being taken away. Wait for the terrorist strike on US soil right about then. It'll happen.

M,
Right on the mark!

elme:

That was, indeed, an act of war -- look it up.

M:

Does North Korea have 4,025 nukes?! Does it have our GDP? Does it have any of the other criteria you mentioned?

Also, you never answered my prior questions:

"Does Obama have 2,025 delegates yet? She hasn't "lost" yet. Unless you think that the New York Giants should have quit before that 4th quarter was over? Why didn't they "do the only honorable thing"? They RUINED the "perfect season"! The end of the 3rd quarter would have been a good time for the Giants to show how much they loved the NFL and gracefully exit to help unify the League!!!"

quoting Your Post:

M:

Thank you.

elme:

"Use of Force" = WAR.
_________________________________-

Use of (Military) FORCE did not = WAR

WHEN Bill Clinton had Saddam's HOMES Bombed after being informed by our CIA that Saddam had hired hit men to kill ex-president Bush.

eljefejesus,

Stop snorting your goodies!

A "superpower" is not made just by nukes alone - or does that mean North Korea is a superpower??? The Soviet Union was a one-dimensional superpower only by virtue of its arsenal. A true superpower is one because of its overwhelming superiority in economic, military, diplomatic and cultural might. Our military is being funded by loans - the war in Iraq is the first one we've fought on credit, and your children and grandchildren will pay for it decades from now. The US economy was bailed out by sovereign wealth funds - the Chinese and the Gulf states. There's nothing more sad than a superpower holding out the tin cup like a beggar. Our diplomacy has deteriorated to the point where our only option is "do what we say or we'll bomb the crap out of you."

W is running out the clock on the most disastrous 8 years this country has seen. I can almost guarantee that we will see some pretty heinous stuff once he leaves office - stuff that was swept under the rug until he left, much like he did in Texas.

I guess you understand what I mean ... this is no time for children play!

North Carolina... check mate.

Old News? As old as the end of the formal primary itself.
Post North Carolina Haiku:

Obama in May
Winning the Contest so soon?
Republicans' fear

elme - I'm Black. Believe me, it wasn't the media that made me think Bill's comments were racist!! I was a Clinton supporter. The second the words came out of his mouth, I looked at my husband and we both let out a "What the hell did he just say??". My phone started ringing almost immediately. The damage was done before the media had a chance to spin that. Take the "bitter" comments, multiply them by 10...and that's how pissed off Black people were about Bill Clinton's Jesse Jackson comment and Hillary's comments about Lyndon Johnson. (I do think the "fairy tale" issue was over played by the media..but then again, I don't know many people that said that statement played a part in thier decision to switch to Barack.)
I think it would have done a lot of good if either of them would have immediately apologized or at least acknowledged their statements were poorly worded and caused a lot of ill feelings. I think a lot of Black people liked them enough to forgive and move on. Instead, they tried to play victim, pretend like it wasn't a real issue (even more insulting), and refused to take any responsibility. Now she's all but written the Black vote off and her race-baiting has only gotten more blantant and more offensive.

One of my co-workers had an excellent analogy to explain the Clintons. She says.. they're like the friend that always came to your house when you were a kid, played with your toys...but then pretended like they didn't know you in front of the cool kids at school. Maybe they don't tease you, but they don't stand up for you either.
I don't think the Clinton's are racist. In fact, I know they are not. But it's pitiful that they seem to be soliciting and welcoming the racist vote.

I Am America (And So Can You!)

Meanwhile back in the farm:

Amen!!!

Although, I also questioned (unless she WANTED the white flag raised) how he could be called one of her most LOYAL supporters? I mean, after Benedict Arnold's treason at West Point, he was no longer one of Washington's most LOYAL generals, right? Am I right?

JakeD,

Flying in its own territory and with a black joker calling the shots? None for sure!

Darn you, Samatha N. Walsh!!!

Cool, the next comment is #666 >>>

Dan Balz/Washington post,

How can you actually consider "one of her most loyal supporters" (paragraph 3), or "veteran democrat" (paragraph 4) to be valid sources? You can not just invent a vague "person" and write whatever your opinion about the current issue is. If in fact the above mentioned people do exist and have those opinions, then there has been a gross editing mistake. I advise you to include names in situations like this in the future, otherwise your publication will surely lose what little credibilty it still has.

Sincerely,
Samatha N. Walsh

Meanwhile back in the farm:

Name one other "paper mache superpower" with 4,025 active nukes?

ghm:

I'm a registered Independent -- perhaps you have me confused with some "Republican jerk" -- are you saying that your candidate DOESN'T want my vote?!

America is becoming a paper mache superpower by its own stupidity!

One more time experience is proving that the American democratic process assures the rule of idiots if they are the majority ... for the third time in a row!

LOL, Al-Quso -- now, can you point out when I said that Senator Clinton has taken the lead over Senator Obama after her "unprecedented performance" in Indiana Primary last night, my friend?

America is now a pathetic shadow of the neo-con "end of history" view. You sold democracy on your hype.

Now, the Republican President had a chance to help save can't even talk about it numbers in Asia and instead...

he put the wife out there to say the same things we said about his response to Katrina.

Good-bye Republicans, you had your chance to pretend, you are going away.

Better watch out for that tsunami though (maybe Karl Rove can use his Katrina-laser to take out Obama too ; )

Hey, ignoramus. BOTH their names were on the ballot. HE had HIS taken OFF.

... then ran a campaign to have UNCOMMITTED be on the ballot, get votes.

...so he can now whine... I wasn't even on the ballot.

p.s. ONE sell-out Democrat in the Florida legislature put his name on a bill ... to move up the Florida primary ... AND THEN ... The Republican Majority PASSED it into LAW.

Yeh, duh, huh, right ... the Dems are sooo stupid ... they should just LET the REPUBS arrange to THROW OUT FLorida's Votes .... OR ... THE Sell-Out Dems...starting with Obama ... ARRANGED it that way.

Republican candidates for President: Obama AND McCain.

treetopflyer: Glad I made you sick - hope you get sicker. It's a pity Hitler lost the war - he would have sailed through Africa doing some much needed ethnocleansing. America would have been next in line. All the blacks in America should be made to pay for their forefather's passage.

lylepink:

It is telling, isn't it, that NO ONE will answer my simple football analogy, huh?

Old, white male here, voting for Obama. He's going to roll over McCain like a tidal wave, and carry the House and Senate with him.

Who is "J.W. Bush"?

M:

Does Obama have 2,025 delegates yet? She hasn't "lost" yet. Unless you think that the New York Giants should have quit before that 4th quarter was over? Why didn't they "do the only honorable thing"? They RUINED the "perfect season"! The end of the 3rd quarter would have been a good time for the Giants to show how much they loved the NFL and gracefully exit to help unify the League!!!

Seems to me, "The Trail" like the rest of The Media are for Obama almost 100%. The problem I have with most of these articles is there is no attempt to analyze, in an intelligent way, what is actually happening in this election cycle. I have stated many times since January that Obama was and is the weakest of the viable Dem candidates from the beginning. The 24/7 coverage on Cable News/Talk shows have been consistent with the Print part of The Media as well. I am hoping these SDs and others will wake up before it is to late.

Will your Bush clone also push his stepford wife forward to criticise the creepy corrupt "military" "government" of Burma for their response to the hurricane?

Wow, I can't believe Americans of such caliber or calibre voted for J.W. Bush. Not once, not twice, but wants to give him a third term. Look at our economy. It makes me sick. I don't want to believe that you like this. Does anyone remember why Senator John McCain had to step aside for J.W. Bush to win the White House. Now Bush wants to return the favor. You incompetent, patriotic, pride for nothing idiots. I live here, work here, invest in this country to help make it superior, not to see it get ruin by disingenous and racist Americans. All human are created EQUALLY. Stop the hate and get rightous with one another. And I mean this GLOBALLY.

treetopflyer: Bravo. Well said.

Wright & his protege Obama overlook ONE REAL BIG FACT in the HISTORY of America:

It took a WHOLE LOT MORE ... WHITE-Skinnned PEOPLE to Speak Out, Stand Up, and FIGHT for the right of ALL Americans to be Free, and, judged not on Skin Color but on the content of their character....than it did dark-skinned people.

Those white colored Abolitionists; those white soldiers who died fighting for the North in the Civil War; those white people who spoke, and marched, and died with the dark colored people in the Civil Rights marches in the 1960's.

Wright and Obama BLINDLY overlook that fact; they dishonor all the REAL Civil Rights Fighters black and white.

This is hor$3$#!t.

Your candidate lost, according to rules she agreed to. She claimed originally that putting her name on Michigan's ballot was for their benefit (so they wouldn't feel forgotten), not hers (so she could be nominated). If Hillary wants to play by Republican rules, let her run as a Republican. She chose the party. She agreed to the rules. She lost. The time to gripe about them was before the primary season, when she felt secure in her inevitability, not at the end, when she's lost.

Hillary acknowledges only one rule - "I must win". All others are negotiable, to serve that end.

Some of you are really sickening in your posts. Blacks should not be allowed to vote? You call yourselves Democrats? There is a literally Stalinist sense of entitlement I'm getting here; that power for your candidate is the only good, any means necessary to secure that end are legitimate and all those who oppose are evil enemies.

You make me sick.

ONCE AGAIN READ THIS !!!

Obama's Book - Quotes from his book(s)
Notice the last one!! Scary

These passages from Barrack's books:

From Dreams of My Father:
I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.

From Dreams of My Father
I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and
animosity against my mothers race.

From Dreams of My Father:
There was something about him that made me
wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.

From Dreams of My Father:
It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty
to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

From Dreams of My Father:
I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my
own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that
I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of
Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.

From Audacity of Hope:
I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

QUESTION: DO YOU THINK THE WINDS ARE SHIFTING? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT DOES HE THINK?!! AND THIS MAN IS ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE CHARGE OF OUR NATION.. OH TO THINK HE WILL BE THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF... SCARRRY VERY SCARRRRY !!!!!!

GHM:

At least I use Barack HUSSEIN Obama's real name ; )

Medvedev and Putin are throwing a party tonight to celebrate the transition to the Black House!

They are as excited as Obamites to realize this dream may come true!

With this seasoned leader America will be as strong as the US dollar!

Anonymous @ 10:16 PM:

Did you think that the New York Giants should have quit before that 4th quarter was over? Why didn't they "do the only honorable thing"? They RUINED the "perfect season"! The end of the 3rd quarter would have been a good time for the Giants to show how much they loved the NFL and gracefully exit to help unify the League!!! What "sore losers"!!!

My fellow Democrats!!

Kindly stop all this bickering.
Obama and Hillary are both fantastic.!!!
We are all for the same thing!

Beat McBush (McCain)
He wants to keep the war going
He wants to stack the Supreme Court
(Overturn abortion decision)
He wants to keep the tax brake for the rich
He wants to continual NAFTA (As is)
His health plan is the rich and will increase taxes
He refuses to help the Vets.
In other words a third term for Bushes polices

francislholland:

Well, this thread is about Clinton and Obama, but why not -- post the WORST thing about McCain from that list?

Decision Time for Clinton?
It was decision time for Clinton weeks ago. She expected to be coronated with the nomination and in her misguided belief she ran a poor campaign that had no plan or money past Super Tuesday. If she can't run a campaign that had celebrity name recognition in its favor how can she run the country? Super delegates might question how she could run a good campaign against the Republican Swiftboaters who will throw the kitchen sink at her when she can't beat an honest Black man with a funny name and a crazy minister? Hillary may try hard but her plans and decisions are not winning plans or winning decisions. The time for her to get out has past, the longer she stays in the more she shows herself as a sore loser.

The November election (Obama vs McCain) will play out like Chris Rock's movie "Head of State".

ByeObama:

Don't forget these classics --

"I was FOR the Gas-Tax Holiday before I was Against it!"

"I Did Not Have Spiritual Relations With That Man, Rev. Wright ..."

"I Could No More Disown Rev. Wright Than I Could Disown My White Grandmother!"

Let's turn our attention to the Truth About McCain:

http://truth-about-mccain.blogspot.com

Nobody with an IQ over 80 reads Caps Lock posters.

Ooops I am betraying the elitism of the Obama supporters.

Good night Clinton flaks and you Republicans, lets start with you getting humble.

You deserve worse.

Egg man ..YOU ARE SO RIGHT READ ABOVE THE 50 lies Obama told!! SCARRRRRY !! NO Barack Hussein Obama in the "Wright House" GOd bless America with Hillary Clinton in the White House!! HILLARY 2008!

Thank you.

50.) Wal-Mart Is A Company I Wouldn't Support - LIAR, your wife has received nearly a quarter of a million dollars through Treehouse, which is connected to Wal-Mart.

Obama is winning with the well-educated voters. Doesn't that mean anything? IMHO
Barack is the smart choice. He not only has the AA votes, but also the young vote and the well-educated. I truly believe he can and will beat McCain. Actually (holds nose) I think Hillary could as well. Dems will do fine IF we unite behind our candidate. I would vote for Hillary because I am pro democratic policies. Hope Hillary supporters are open-minded enough to do the same!!

That's a LIE. She did not vote FOR the War in Iraq. There WAS NO WAR IN IRAQ at the time of that VOTE. That VOTE was exceedingly COMPLEX & Simply CANNOT be SIMPLIFIED into.... she voted for war.

AT the TIME Bush's approval RATING was up in the 80 - 90's ... Sheeple like you were ALL IN FAVOR OF THE WAR (I bet you were huh, because you just SWALLOW whatever the LYING MEDIA feeds you).

I was OPPOSED to the WAR, and then, just as now I KNEW WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON. I DID NOT ...BUY... What the MEDIA was SeLLING: BUSH/CHENEY/THE WAR ... I knew the truth ... because I DID MY HOMEWORK... I SEARCHED for the Truth FROM multiple and many SOURCES.

YOU are buying the KOOL-AID ... AND ... WE will ALL have to pay for it AGAIN.

Quoting Obama: "I don't KNOw how I would have VOTED."

Having SAID that --- to distort, slime, and BLAME ... Clinton ... NOW is the height of lying hypocrisy.

Obama needs to quit standing behind his prejudice black sheet. He is poison. He big mouth about white Reagan democrats, uneducated Hillary supporters, gun-toting, religious clinging, typical white woman(his grandmother, who raised his ungrateful ass), six-pack joes, along with his glassy-eyed militant flunkies. He is a divider and this country will be truly divided when the lame jackasses in the DNC try to raise him to President.
This country will pay big if they elect this little whiny ass to office. Blames everything on others for his mistakes!
He is the most prejudice politician to run for office I have been disgusted to watch.
But he has you children who think they know ()*& and don't. Now I know why the Democratic mascot is an ASS!
As would be in the words of the Reverend Wright, GOD DAM THE ******* AMERICAN DNC!!!

There's a reason she is running out of money. Same thing happened to Romney. No money = no support. Hillary's money all came in large donations by a few people and corporations. Obama's is coming from a groundswell of many, many donors. There's the writing on the wall for you.

I'm unaffiliated in MD and despite our "democratic" system that started out offering us some 20 "choices" at the beginning, I still have yet to cast a single vote.

I'm tired of voting AGAINST people. My advice: we should all vote our conscience and WRITE IN someone we want to vote FOR, not one of these choices we're stuck with. That is democracy. We need some more parties that actually represent people. Green, Labor, Pro-Life, Guns, Religious Right, whatever. Anything goes. I'm going to write in Al Gore when the time comes in November.

YOU GO HILLLARY DO NOT DROP OUT PEOPLE WILL NOT VOTE OBAMA!!! THEY WILL NOT VOTE McCAIN!! YOU ARE AMERICA'S ONLY SOLID HOPE AMONG THose Who know and ARE INVOLVED..the uninvolved and inexperienced going for tainted ill experienced Obama..more of the same another BSer and non qualified man in the White House
but it is scarier than that ..look at all the tainted associations and background of this man born a muslim which he denies..AMERICA DON"T FALL FOR IT!! HEAD OFF DISASTER AND DON'T VOTE IN THIS TAINTED Barack Hussein Obama ..are we suppose to be stupid..look at his NAME!! LOOK WHAT HAPPEN LAST TIME WE VOTED FOR an unqualified person in the White House .but this one has no record in accomplishments only in crime...no way no way!! Dean give Hillary her votes ..THIS IS A 50 state COUNTRY NOT 48 do not take away the rights of people in this country to vote...because of the acts of a few who changed a date..GIVE HILLARY HER VOTES AND QUIT TRYING TO SWAY THE ELECTION!! Open your ears people say THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA IN MUCH BIGGER NUMBERS ..look at the states that decide elections
..HILLARY HAS WON THE BIG STATES THERE IS NO DENY IT >>YOU ARE DENY THE VOTES TO BE HEARD! Hillary 2008

Gandanga...It's good to see that someone with a GED can spot grammar mistakes. I'm impressed with your scholarly progression...Keep clinging to your guns and antipathy my fellow "back-woods" Democrat.

Indiana Voter, if you vote for Hillary you may get your wish. But you have to work for it! How? Just use your imagination!

Eat_It_Rethugs:

It ain't over 'til the FAT LADY sings!!!

The Rethugs have had a fun time watching Hillary and Barack attack each other.

They have even been posing as Obama or Clinton supporters and leaving bellicose comments here.

Well it's over. Hillary is a tenacious fighter and we are glad she's on her side. Obama has his faults, but he is likely to be the nominee.

Now time to set the guns at McSame...a man who promised to nominate right wing nuts to the Supreme Court.

Blue Dress:

Sorry, but Ms. Lewinsky is not Constitutionally eligible to run for Vice President until next time ; )

Since McCain already passed the number of delegates needed for the GOP nomination, any protest votes are meaningless. You do realize that NEITHER Democratic candidate has reached 2,025 yet, right? Kinda different, don't you think?

As for which Super Bowl game was a total blowout like McCain's win, I'd have to go with Raiders-Redskins, 1984.

********************************
it may not matter to you, but it worries his campaign - Money makes the world go around and his campaign isn't exactly ringing registers - got the rich wife, though...

at this point, it should be Huckabee who? Romney, who dat? and Ron Paul, que? Not noticeable blips of discontent with the only Republican game in town.

It boggles my mind that the man everyone's hailing as the one to bridge divisions is actually an extremist leftist liberal.

Call me a cynic, but I think only a centrist could bridge the gulf between the left and the right.

As a non-American, I think it would be funny if America elected Obama despite his links to Rezko, Auchi, Wright and Ayers.

Ayers is a Communist and Wright sounds like the Ayatollah.

There's an adage that says "You can tell a man by the company he keeps".

GWB might have been pathetic in office... but that's no reason to swing to another extreme.

Puhleeze for the love of God... vote McCain come November.

Leftist liberals belong in the sewers... let them stay there.

Todd H:

Did you think that the New York Giants should have quit before that 4th quarter was over too? Why didn't they "do the only honorable thing"? They RUINED the "perfect season"! All they did was DESTROY the NFL and should have gracefully exited to help unify the League!!!

amd1976: "...stop hiding behind your white sheet. I see your antipathy towards african americans pertruding through your dialog." (sic)

Should be: "protruding" and "dialogue". Protruding is a perverted malapropism.
_______________________________

The poor grammar and spelling displayed by amd1976 proves my point - blacks should not be allowed to vote!

I still want my free gas!!!

This unpleasant situation was brought about by Sen. Clinton herself by voting in favor of the Iraq War and the resolution on Iran. She could not recognize the change in the direction of the wind.

As the primary season progressed she kept on shifting her position on issues including the Iraq war. Bill was indeed bad for her campaign. I am sure she knows that HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. Her Bosnia story must have reminded her of that maxim.

Weakening the Democratic Party...Division increasing .... ?

Don't blame Hillary:

Like she said today .... If --- the Dem party had the same RULES as the Repub party she would have already been the Dem Candidate ... months ago ... & been running against McCain all this time.

BLAME: The StUPID Dem Party Rules, AND Insist they be CHANGED.

BLAME: The DEM Party SELL-OUTS:

IF you was a ... Republican ... & you WANTED ... to Divide the Dem Party ...
Could YOU think of a BETTER Way to do it ... than ... RUN a black man, against a white woman?

IF YOU was a Dem Party LEADER ... WITH ... a BRAIN, and, you started off the campaign season with Clinton ALL BUT ELECTED PRESIDENT ... as close as the Dem party has EVER been to: A SURE-FIRE WIN ... would you say, oh, OK ... let's just let this FRESHMAN Senator ... give it a try TOO? ... duh...huh...huh, okey dokey let's just run a black man against a white woman.

NOT only NO, but HELL NO! YOU would NOT do that.

The problem is, dear children, the rich have gotten Sooooo much richer they are now able to BUY themselves a WHOLE BUNCH of SELL-OUT Democrats.

Problem for those Sell-out Dems is: The internet. We will find out who they are AND we WILL throw them OUT.

There is one and only one thing that will give Hillary a chance now: MONICA LEWINSKY AS HER RUNNING MATE!

Oh i am sorry i forgot to say one last thing here regarding the issues of Obama.. His relationship with the reverend wright is likened to Bill clinton when he stated that he did not have sex with that woman in the white house.. what i liar he was..the point here is that obamas relation with the likes of a person like reverend wright is the same as lying to the people simnilar as to clinton and that woman in the white house.. something here stinks and it is obama.. his relationship to preacher wright and also the hypocrite OPrah winnfrey is disgusting.. OPrah is disgusting and should stick to her book club.. she isnt fit for television and i have lost all respect for her.. She is an abomination.. her views on christianity are warped,, she is warped.. and will amswer to God almighty who is a jealous God.. i know i got side tracked here but i wanted to express my point that the association of people like oprah winnfrey and the reverend wright are just pathetic, and once again someone is lying.. who is it.. who do you people think is the liar, the reverend wright or the obamanator.. i will not vote for anyone that wont place his hand on his heart when the national anthem is playing.. and his answer is pitiful.. he is another person that is not woorthy od our office of the president of th eUSA,, he is just pathetic.. another sack o lies..

I don't know where you people get that Obama has run a dirty campaign. He's the one that has always taken the high road. The Clinton's are the dirty fighters and thye're both liars. When I heard Hill tell that Bosnia story all I could think of was Bill looking directly into the camera and saying "I did not have sex with that woman." Good grief! All of you get a grip!! It's over for Hillary!

This is going to be SO MUCH FUN tomorrow when every "new" comment goes to the top of the thread: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/05/07/a_comments_change.html#comments

Step down Hillary. You destroyed our country's opportunity to have health care because of your personality. Don't destroy the democrats because of it too.

Obama...what a piece of crap politition!

Not at all -- the rule still applies if the team walks off the field at the end of the 3rd quarter and refuses to come back -- McCain is simply running off the clock.

Gandanga...stop hiding behind your white sheet. I see your antipathy towards african americans pertruding through your dialog.

Bias people and bias news coverage ..doesn't change the FACTS: HILLARY CLINTON IS LEADING THIS RACE BUT THE RACE IS BEING SWAYED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!! HILLARY'S VOTES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY BY DEAN WHO IS PLAYING GOD WITH PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA..EVERY SINGLE TIME THE MEDIA AND BIAS PEOPLE POUND UNMERCIFULLY ON HILLARY SHE WINS! SHE WAS DOWN 20 points last month AND WON IN OBAMA'S backyard!!!!!!!!!!SHE WON INDIANA!! BIASLY IT IS ASSESSED THAT SHE SHOULD GET OUT WHEN SHE HAS WON JUST ABOUT EVERY BIG STATE>>SOUR GRAPES BY MCGOVERN!!!>NO WAY ARE HILLARY SUPPORTERS GOING TO FALL FOR THAT>>>BECAUSE THE NEXT BIG STATES ARE GOING TO FALL TO HER AGAIN!! AND THE BLUFFERS TRYING TO PASS OFF THE POOR HAND OF OBAMA AS A WINNING HAND IS NOT WORKING!!! OBAMA IS A ILLASSOCIATED, NON EXPERIENCED,tainted background BSer..who does not have the know how, accomplishments, and guts to turn this country around...people are voting for very shallow reasons and it was bad enough we trained the terrorist to fly in 911 we certainly don't need roll out the red carpet for such a tainted unamerican in the White House. A man who goes so far as not to show his lack of respect for America by not wearing the American flag and not holding his hand over his chest..Who sat in a hate filled church for 20 years.then denouces his religion to get VOTES????.This is the best DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAN GET????...NO WAY HILLARY SUPPORTERS KNOW THAT HILLARY WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE DURING THE BIGGEST ECONOMIC GROWTH AND THE LONGEST PEACE KEEPING TIME OF ANY PRESIDENCY AND THOSE ARE THE TWO ISSUES OF AMERICA TODAY>>A NO BRAINER TO VOTE HILLARY 2008! Not God da--America with Barack Hussein Obama in the "Wright House" BUT GOD BLESS AMERICA WITH THE RIGHT CANDIDATE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE! GIVE HER THE VOTES THAT WERE CAST FOR HER DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND QUITE TRYING TO PRETEND AMERICA DID NOT VOTE FOR HER AND SWAYING THIS ELECTION!!!!!!!!!!!>>THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS SAY HILLARY PERIOD!!

********************************

uhh,JakeD - they have to have forfeited the game before the beginning of actual play, not during the game. Hence, the scoring. Nice try, though...

Obama should not waste his time or money campaining in "HILL BILLY" country (West Virginia & Kentucky). We (african americans) all know that "BACK-WOODS" USA still cling to their guns and have antipathy towards those who do not look like them.

amd1976: I sagatiate salubriously - something you'll have to research to understand - must be awful agony for your two brain cells not to be able to perceive reality - but wait they cannot have consciousness!

I am disgusted by the DNC, If Hillary Clinton drops out I will never vote Democrat again. I will register Republican and do everything in my power to support McCain. The fact that the DNC would elect a prejudiced, white hating man to office sickens me. He will destroy not unite. Hillary didn't divide the party, Obama did with his big prejudice mouth and then blames everyone else for his stupidity.Even statements by all his little flunky's. "Six pack Joes and white Reagan Democrats,uneducated blue-collar Hillary voters, gun-toting, religious-clinging, typical white woman (his poor grand mother ,who raised his ungrateful ass) has forever poisoned me to him!

As would be in the words of the Reverend Wright, GOD DAMN the American Democratic Party!!!

It is not time for Hillary to stop running for President.
We need good leadership for a better future in America.
Our country has been run into the ground by George Bush Jr.
Stop the war, high gas prices, job loss, poor education, and the illegals from coming into our country.
The way the election was won in North Carolina was illegal, just like when Bush was elected President, both times.
Do we as a people have any rights or is it just a political game where we are all being used like puppets. Are we just rolling over and turning our heads because we are to busy with our own lives to be bothered? The way the country is run effects every aspect of our lives and we should be more concerned with what is going on.
Obama is a joke of a candidate and never should have gotten this far.

Clinton Supporters: Do you support Senator Clinton more than you support the principles of the Democratic Party (fair wages, affordable healthcare, quality education, etc)? If Senator Obama is the eventual Democratic nominee, it is hard for me to understand how a vote for Senator McCain is somehow a show of support for Senator Clinton if she does not win. What I know for sure, is that I do NOT want a third term of Bush policies, and that is EXACTLY what we will get if Senator McCain eventually wins the general election.

The flip side of that argument, of course, poses the following question: "How can Hillary win in November with all of Obama's supporters voting for McCain?"

uhh, and JakeD. I am dying to know what football game does McCain's primary problems remind you of? Seems like someone is not closing the deal that strongly - I thought everyone was behind him.
*************************
In the GOP primaries in North Carolina and Indiana, the basically uncontested Republican nominee did not gain more than 80 percent of the vote.

In Indiana, McCain earned the backing of 78 percent of Republican primary voters, with exited candidates Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney gaining 10 percent and five percent respectively. Congressman Ron Paul, who is still in the race, has received seven percent of the vote.

The numbers were even worse in North Carolina, where McCain won 74 percent of the vote, with Huckabee earning 12 percent, Paul earning seven percent, and four percent of Republican primary goers simply voting "no preference."

Does this mean we don't get our Free Gas, Bullets, and Beer all summer long?

But, she promised.

i'm not an embracer of the clintons any longer on a personal or political level. nevertheless they represented me, our party and the nation. their service was through trying times. i choose to look back with the fondness i felt most of that decade that feels like a lifetime ago. they fought the good fight along side me. their service to this country, the same as mr. mccain's. should be honored. i welcome them to the fight of our lives as the balance of this nation's and our planets's existence hangs in the balance.

let us unite first as one democratic party and then as a country. let's all keep our eyes on the prize. in the words of lincoln, 'united we stand, divide we fall".

As a young person, this man inspires me like no one political figure has since I've been alive. He's the kind of person I read about in my history books that I've been waiting for. You older people had the Kennedys, FDRs, MLKs, etc. These people INSPIRED people. So much so that people had to DIE. Where the hell is my fireside chat? Who's going to tell me it's not what my country can do for me, but what I can do for my country? What the hell? Instead, we got some guy who doesn't know where Korea is and is trying to foster a war to prepare for the 2nd coming. Great job, old people! Awesome work!

A president doesn't do the dirty work, he makes his cabinet and administration do it. He doesn't have experience. Well, I've had about enough of "experience" than I can handle. White men aren't going to vote for him because he's black. Well, no Democrat has won the white vote since LBJ and if voters are going to be haters, well, God help them. Obama says there's hope for you too. That's right, we STILL LIKE YOU YOU HATERS! I LIKE THE CRAP OUT OF YOU!

Every year, a big batch of young people get old enough to vote and so help me God, I will get out there and make sure every Democrat or potential Democrat in the country registers. And we'll all be better for it because people die for our right and it's about time that young Americans started thinking about their country instead of drooling over Britney Spears.

You can't make everyone think the same thing, nor should they, but the party is going to come together and the GOP is scared. Look at them! Hey media - be part of history and listen to the man!

Obama's smart! Don't be scared! He's inspirational! He's going to change this country and, yes folks, he's black!

Congratulations America. You grew up.

OBAMA '08 AND WE'RE NOT SCARED OF YOUR RHETORIC MEAN GOP AND FAKE DEMS AND HORRIBLE CORPORATE MEDIA!

He didn't take the big states, the States the Democrats need to win in the Fall to win the Election. Florida and Michigan will be voting then too. Then we have the fact that Obama will not be able to back away from debates with McCain, like he did against Hillary recently, he didn't like a few little questions in that last debate, what's he going to do then? Cause I got news ,he'll get more than those. Actually, McCain won't have to do anything, his surrogates will do the attacking for him, there's probably more stuff that's bound to come out on Obama, since the media didn't vet him till late in the game. They already may have things ready and waiting. What he faced against Hillary will be like a skip through the roses compared to what he's going to get from Republicans and we see how well he holds up under just a couple questions. He doesn't do well at all, unless it's a pre-written speech or he gets the questions in advance. He's Toast, might as well get use to saying President McCain

Dirk and Gandanga are weak minded americans. I didn't know that ignorance still exist in 2008.

LABC:

"Forfeit. The Commissioner, (except in cases of disciplinary action; see last section on "Removing Team from Field"), League President, and their representatives, including referees, are not authorized unilaterally to declare forfeits. A forfeit occurs only when a game is not played because of the failure or refusal of one team to participate. In that event, the other team, if ready and willing to play, is the winner by a score of 2-0."

Bla Bla Bla thats all i hear from you Obama Supporters regarding the Hilary supporters, not saying that all of you are doing this but alot of you throw in the race card when the Hilary supporters rant and rave about how great she is.. I have to be honest with you.. Hlary is much better than the pipe dreamer lying Obama.. they all lie and whats so special about him. hes just another politician that will lie to get into office and then when he's in office he will not do a thing for the americans but take away the rights established long ago by our forefathers back in 1776.. he is another person that will take it to the limit as well just like GWB.. hes the worst president in american history as we all know.. But back to the point i am making here regarding mr obama.. he will be just like the rest of the presidents that have all BS'd the population with nothing but lie after lie.. he is no better than Hilary or any of them.. i say lets all vote for Ralph Naderas VP and JOhn McCain as the prez.. so you blabber mouths out there that want to throw in the race card here , well go ahead and voice your opinion.. you have the right as i do to say what ever ails you.. as i will end this here right now.. obama is not going to be our president in 2009 or any other time in history. he is a good man but unqualified for the high office.. its just not going to happen.. so get over it obama lovers.. lalalala.. he is never going to be our prez..hilary neither.. John Mc Cain....Yes. Ralph Nader yes also.. get over it.. too bad.. so sad. na na na na na!!!! he aint gonna make it.. na na na na na !!!

SOMEBODY's got a lot of ...'splainin' to do...Lucy...

Since ... Obama's had 2-to-5 TIMES as much $MONEY from the start of this campaign season...

...AND... just about ALL the "Mainstream Media": NBC ... MSNBC ... CNN ... CBS ... FOX, The New York Times, and most of the rest of the Newspapers in the USA ... Putting out Pro-Obama/Anti-Clinton PROPAGANDA for him....

.... HOW COME Obama's only ahead by about 0.25% in the Popular Vote?

Doesn't that Make Clinton the STRONGEST candidate, BY FAR?

Suppose ... the Repubs start giving McCain 2-to-5 Times More MONEY than Obama has --- WHEN the general election comes up ...

....&suppose ... NBC ... MSNBC ... CNN ... CBS ... FOX, and most of the rest of the Newspapers in the USA ... start PUSHING for McCain .... do ya THINK Obama will come in within 0.25% in the popular vote?

Clinton DID it ... WITHOUT the media on her side. She DID it WITHOUT 2-5 TIMES MORE MONEY.

Obama can't do it. The MEDIA will not be on his side when the General Election comes up. BECAUSE the MEDIA is OWNED & CONTROLLED by the $$$BIG MONEY PEOPLE:

NBC/MSNBC = GE (2nd largest corp. on earth)
CBS = Westinghouse
CNN - AOL TIME Warner

They're backing Obama NOW - to get rid of Clinton so McCain ---The REPUBLICAN will Win.

Let's hope all of this Translates into Real Progress.

Health Care

Education

A Living Wage

Jobs

Transparency

No More Wars

Shoot, pick any two, I'd be happy.

Go Democrats!!!

Senator Obama knows he doesn't know, therefore he listenes. Senator Clinton knows she knows, therefore she doesn't listen. Senator Obama listens to his advisors. Senator Clinton dictates to her subordinats.

LABC:

I will be right back with the NFL rule on forfeiting.

Al-Quso:

First of all, when did I say that Senator Clinton has taken the lead over Senator Obama after her "unprecedented performance" in Indiana Primary last night? All I said is "a win is a win" (just as 7 votes for Guam was an Obama "win").

If you vote for John McCain then you are and have been happy with the past almost 8 years of J.W. Bush!
Congratulation!

Hillary Clinton has 50%++ of Democrats on this road with her. They aren't going anywhere. They certainly aren't voting for Mr. Obama after his dirty campaign.

Mr. Obama has divided this party. By running in a year we would have cake walked to the white house. He had to play his black like me games.

Hillary is the true Democratic nominee. Obama is the spoiler.

And we will never vote for incompetence.

The Presidency of the United States is not an internship.

Obama has no experience or credentials. He is a marketing miracle. Something from nothing. American Idol maybe, but not this job.

Rezkobama. God Damn America bama.

He was in the church. Read his book. He quotes the Rev talking about Hiroshima.

He's a freaking liar and the Republicans will make front page news of it.

They won't be nice like Hillary has been. And he thinks THIS is tough!

What a baby wipe wimp.

a person skin color should not be a factor. Being petty and racist is not a godly thing. Do you measure your worth based on color? if you do, you need to go back and take a good look in the mirror because you are superficial. talk on the issues and principles of each candidates. The math do not lie so please accept the facts and stop being play haters!! IT IS A SIN TO LIVE YOUR LIFE BEING SO HATEFUL..GROW UP!!

Wow. I began reading and was bombarded by racist, hateful words. Fried chicken and watermelon, Dirk, shining shoes in the White House. It is amazing to me that in this day and age, so many people are so filled with hate. Unfortunately, these people vote. They step out of the double wide, put that pinch of "tobaccy" between their cheek and gum, adjust the Pabst beer belt buckle and take the bus to the voting station. If Hillary Clinton is the Democratic
