Hillary damnit you're lying. You keep saying you help "the people" but when you had an opportunity to help people you turned on them and took the side of the Credit Card Companies. When you say these things it pisses me off because your lying just to say the words. How can you help people in Darfur when you are in debt. I am not in debt because i don't listen to you , McCain george, and diky or take any of you seriously. Just another politician now what how do you wiggle out?

Truthfully, I would love to see Hillary run for President as an Independent. Better yet... start a new political party.

You are ignoring the fact they are all democrats. It is a democrat running against a democrat. The only question is how many would vote for McCain since Hillary is no longer in the race. The answer, very few. Only the nut cases who are voting for a candidate and not on issues or party may switch because they are angry. You can't do anything about that but the differences between hillary & obama compared to Mccain is huge. By November all this will be long forgotten and $6.00 a gallon gas and many more dead in Iraq, lost jobs will be the issues, not the petty squabbles you see now. Only a moron would hold on to those feelings against their own personal interest.

*****Then you are ignoring that Hispanics are unlikely to vote for a black candidate. Jews will not vote for a Muslim, nor will Catholics. Patriotic Americans will not vote for Obama after hearing the "goddamn America" speech by his 20 yr. Reverand, then another racist Rev. in the same church, and many white Americans will not vote for a polarizing racist black candidate. Obama has turned this into a racist nomination where 90% of blacks voted for the black candidate. Obama is a heavily flawed candidate. Voters will pick a 'safer' candidate with McCain. Too many red cards with Obama, too many reasons not to vote for Obama.

You are ignoring the fact they are all democrats. It is a democrat running against a democrat. The only question is how many would vote for Mccain since Hillary is no longer in the race.

You are ignoring they are all democrats.
I was just thinking that the candidate that gets the Hispanic vote and 50% of the white vote is the likely winner in any election. The black vote is not large enough to compete with the Hispanic vote. Clinton has the 50% white and about 80-100% Hispanic. So the Puerto Rico win is very symbolic and has far more weight than is thought. Superdelegates will take notice.

Chris

The Rules Committee would have never taken this action cutting the delegates if the states involved had large Black Communities

Chris

The Rules Committee would have never taken this action cutting the delegates if the states involved had large Black Communities

The truth is that the NET EFFECT of this ruling is to DIMINISH THE VOTING STRENGTH OF WHITE VOTERS

Chris you may disagree now - however someday you will realize what is going on.

Last summer this rules committee voted to EXCEED its authority and penalize Michigan and Florida 100% - this was done in full knowledge that it would dilute the strength of WHITE VOTERS.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE DELEGATE TOTALS - come on - THIS WAS A SET UP.

THERE IS NO ACCIDENT THAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS BROKE THE WAY THEY DID - THERE IS NO ACCIDENT THAT THE DEMOCRATS DIMINISHED THE WHITE VOTING STRENGTH.

Clinton 56
Obama 44

28 percent turnout. A report of vote fraud in district 07.

The RESULT is that 183 delegates from mostly WHITE states have vanished.

Hillary nets 24 delegates - HOWEVER if the delegations were fully seated it would have been a net of perhaps 56

BUT remember the Superdelegates were also halved -

That cuts off opportunities for Hillary to catch up - a total of 183 delegates vanished into thin air when one includes the Superdelegates.

Then they used fantasy numbers to give Obama delegates based NOT ON VOTES - and based on WRITE IN BALLOTS THAT WERE NEVER EVEN READ TO SEE WHOSE NAME WAS ON THE BALLOT.

I hate to say it, but it appears that this sort of stuff is OK when it benefits a BLACK candidate against a WHITE candidate -however, if this benefited a WHITE candidate against a BLACK candidate, these kind of actions would never be considered.

I seriously DO NOT believe that this result would have been tolerated IF BLACK VOTING STRENGTH HAD BEEN DIMINISHED BY 183 DELEGATES.

One must think about it.

THE RESULT IS STILL THAT 183 DELEGATES FROM WHITE STATES HAVE VANISHED - SO THE NET AFFECT IS TO INCREASE THE BLACK VOTING STRENGTH AND DIMINISH THE WHITE VOTING STRENGTH -

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ONLY WAY A BLACK CANDIDATE COULD HAVE WON.

ONE MUST FIND THE VOTE OF THE RULES COMMITTEE TO HAVE A DE FACTO RACIST EFFECT - AND ONE MUST FIND THE RESULTS RACIST AGAINST WHITES.

Clinton claims popular vote win and better ability to connect with latino voters.
Obama congratulates her on the win then pivots to rolling out enough superdelegates to go over the top with a win in Montana Tuesday night.

Bigger story... political junkies prepare for withdrawl symptoms after the last primary on the 3rd!

Poor Clinton supporters, you wasted all that time hating Barak Obama and a few of you even donated a little time and money.

Now you have to threaten to join another losing campaign, threaten to vote for the next nasty, senile cardboard cut out McRepublican, the next Republican National Committee mouthpiece. You will do it, just to reassure yourselves that you will teach us a lesson. It is you that need to learn your lessons.

Why Hillary should and could never be our president. Not even VP. A good read.

http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/07/clinton200807

Yesterday's outbursts were ridiculous. Both candidates agreed to the rules prior to the primary season starting. Where was Clinton's concern for FL and MI then? Then, when it benefits her, she changes her mind? Then, when a compromise which allows recognition for half the result (which worked fine on the Republican side), going against the agreement both candidates signed up for at the beginning, it's still not enough?Z



Then, in Michigan, where Obama's name wasn't even on the ticket, Harold Ickes argues that he shouldn't be awarded any delegates?

"Only Votes for Us Count!"

"Clinton, less than 24 hours removed from a startling rebuke from the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws arm, is favored to win Puerto Rico and the majority of its 55 pledged delegates today.

Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have campaigned aggressively there while Obama has largely ignored the state -- choosing instead to focus his time in potential general election battlegrounds."

Posted by: zepher99 | June 1, 2008 12:06 PM

Chris

You heard Rob Johnson yesterday, clearly stating that the primary calendar was MOTIVATED BY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION - that New Hampshire and Iowa were "TOO WHITE"
The entire dispute with Michigan and Florida has as it root that there is a perception that Michigan and Florida are TOO WHITE.

The entire discussion is based on RACE.

When Michigan and Florida decided that they would not go along with the AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN - they were stripped of 100% of their delegates - BELIEVE ME THEY KNEW THEY WERE DIMINISHING THE WHITE VOTING STRENGTH WITH THAT ACTION - AND INCREASING THE BLACK VOTING STRENGTH WHEN THEY TOOK AWAY THE DELEGATES LAST SUMMER.

Chris - seriously.

I can not say with greater clarity what has happened here - we have a proces of electing a President - which has now been HIJACKED BY THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PEOPLE. You might not believe it, but it is true.

Hillary 57.3%

The media will likely say that this does not help Hil's chances much in closing in on Obama's significant delegate lead. The Hillary camp will use her strong showing in Puerto Rico to bolster her electability case to the remaining uncommitted superdelegates.

I predict that Puerto Rico is not a state!

Bottomline,Chris, you called Puerto Rico a state? How about at least a correction. And then you can explain to me why Puerto Rico even has 55 delegates when as a territory, it will play no role in November.

Clinton 55%
Obama 40%

It's just amazing how selfish Clinton and her supporters are, by the way. You're not the majority, and this is a representative democracy, remember? If you "lose", accept it and try again next time around.

Of course, all these Clinton whiners sound just like all the Dems who said they've move to Canada if Bush won in 2000/2004. How many actually left? I'm still waiting for Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins to move, personally.

Clintonites, you need to stick with your party, and I hope Hillary has enough good sense to instruct you to do so. Otherwise, you have no grounds for whining if *you* elect McCain.

That will guarantee Hillary doesn't win the nomination in 2012, by the way. Because every Dem nominee candidate four years from now will remind everyone WHY McCain got elected in the first place, and you will be liked less then than you are now.

As there has been really no movement in two polls, one dating back to early April and one in May, I am assuming that there is going to be still a 13 point difference between the two candidates.
Factoring in the heavy work put in by the Clintons in the island these past weeks, I will guess:

Clinton 55%
Obama 40%

Did The Fix really call Puerto Rico a "state?" Good God! Is there no one left in what passes for daily journalism who really knows anything, let alone who reads over what he or she types?

But "typos" aside, three points:
First, Obama would have to be an idiot to campaign in Puerto Rico, a territory whose citizens are not permitted to vote in U.S. Presidential elections - who, besides the Clintonistas, cares which candidate the people of Puerto Rico would like to vote for IF they could vote?
Second, after watching the Mad Women of Clintonia perform yesterday, I never want to hear another Clinton supporter tell me that the only reason Obama has done so well is that he's gotten 90 percent of the black vote because blacks have blindly voted for him. Voted blindly out of tribal loyalty? Hello? Can you say "White Woman Over Fifty?"
Finally, no one, and I mean no one, who can say that he or she will vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination, should be considered a Democrat, a liberal, or anything other than a Right Wing Republican who for some inexplicable reason loves Hillary Clinton. There not only isn't the proverbial dime's worth of difference between the policies supported by Clinton and Obama, there isn't a penny's worth.

Puerto rico tells Obama "Te amo!"

Commonwealth with no vote in any national American election holds utterly meaningless popularity poll. Low turnout reflects Puerto Rican disdain for utter vapidity.

Clinton 54

After Tuesday don't expect to see Hillary's name even in the news anymore. Her press core have not signed on to follower her around anymore, she will no longer be news. Her supporters will have to resign themselves to the Hillary blogs that sound like something being run by Jim Jones. They are nuts. I can't believe they were calling Obama supporters "Kool aid drinkers". They are like mindless zombies. Obama supporters are smart, educated, free thinking voters.

Chris: What was Clinton's "startling rebuke by the Democratic National Committee" yesterday? They awarded both states the maximum number of delegates allowable under their own rules and agreed that both primaries were hopelessly flawed. These were the rules to which every candidate previously agreed. What else could they have done besides deny both states the right to participate and alienate the Democratic voters in MI and FL in November? Maybe I didn't get the memo. Clinton wins by 11-12 points in Puerto Rico and the territory adopts the DC bumper sticker slogan, "Taxation Without Representation."

Despite Ickes' threat and Clinton's PR victory, she gracefully exits the race after losing Tuesday's contests.

Clinton 63

The resounding victory in PR (regardless of the actual numbers) is further proof that HRC has won the popular vote.

This, along with the disenfranchisement of voters in MI and FL, contributes to the narrative that she has to take the campaign to the convention floor.

Team Clinton cannot allow a latte-sipping elite, misogynist press and party insiders to over-rule the will of the people. This is a bedrock principle of democracy.

Further, HRC is clearly the best candidate with widespread support among older women, Hispanics and hard-working, white, blue collar workers, the backbone of the Democratic Party.

On to the convention and even the inauguration ceremony if necessary since whoever's hand is on the Bible is the next President.

Clinton 57.325 (32 delegates)
Obama 41.125 (23 delegates)

Obama will be 45 delegates away from clinching the nomination, 103 delegates from withstanding a fight over Michigan's delegates.
