Is that because you people know he doesnt stand a chance in hell ?
Is it because secretly you have voters remorse or worry you have pissed your vote away only to have given the Presidency to McCain ?
Is it because you know Clinton was the one who would have won the white house, whether you liked her or not.
If not worried, than why not concentrate on ALL THOSE independents and "cross-over" republicans that will "ROCKET" Obama into the White House ?
FISA bothering you??? It would me.
Just a bit more "Audacity of hypocrisy" but this time its in YOUR face !
For ALL of the "momentum" and ALL the (republican) money, and the Oprah rallys, it wasnt a landslide.
Obama BARELY won and under VERY questionable circumstances.
You wanted "UNITY" !
You said there were ..."No blue States or RED States, there are the United States".
So go out there and get your UNITY, get the repubs and independents to vote for him in the general election.
No problems right???
Or did they vote for him in the Primary with NO intention of voting for him in the general ?
Looks like operation Chaos did indeed work out for the repubs.
To borrow a line from the good Reverend; "Why are folks hatin' on Hillary Clinton" ??
We needed another Clinton, a Democrat in the white house, you O-people have given us President "elect" McCain.

is a place of censorship ??????
I cannot condone censorship !
Not only is that characteristic of rightwingnut republicans, but is MUCH MORE offensive than ANY possible language used by any adult on a political blog about an AMERICAN discussion/party !
Censorship is offensive, do not confuse the Bill O' rights with a Bill O' sale !
Cuz I am not BUYING !
Has Obama and the Dems sold me on "party" unity and to vote for him ?? ..............
HELL NO !
3rd party 08 !!
Unfortunately the Democratic Party has already lost the White House in 2008.
John McCain, an old fool who is even LESS qualified than B. Obama is headed to the white house and the Obama suporters are the ones that put him there ! FACT !
B. Obama has no chance of winning any swing states, as he demonstrated during the Primary.
And the "kicker" is Michigan.
Not only has the dem party lost the ..... swing states and thus the white house for 2008, they have managed to turn a Blue state RED !
Michigan couldnt be turned red by the republicans, but the Dems have managed it for them !
Four more disgusting republican years. Thanx Obama supporters.
Socialist (3rd Party) 08 !!
It is NOT up to Senator Clinton to get people to vote for any other person.
Senator Clinton secured the votes of 18 million people. If Senator Obama or Senator McCain want people to vote for them it is THEIR responsibility to convince people to vote for them.
Senator Clinton has made clear who she will be voting for.
Her supporters can be won over or not.
An endorsement is a great thing to have but it does NOT insure a vote, as we have seen in Mass. A vote is EARNED.
The general election WILL NOT be a caucus and will not divide up electoral votes proportionately as was done with delegates.
Its winner take all, and while McCain is a poor choice for President, so was Bush.
For any of those who think the election is "in the bag" think again, you might end up holding it !
As a former democrat, I can tell you only this, you have work to do.
Looks like McCain will chose the lame ideologically bankrupt Romney.
Obama will not chose Sibullus or McKaskill, that is obvious.
He might go with Richardson, he is a Governor, he will help with latinos, and most importantly because Michelle does not trust "whitey".
I am personally OPPOSED to Clinton being VP. The Only Chance Obama has to win is to take on Clinton.
If she accepts, she is done.
If she doesnt HE is done and she can run in 2012.
To all Obama supporters, I do wish you luck, but I will no longer reward the dem party with my vote, to a party who cannot put up a winner.
When President McCain is sworn in, the FULL blame belongs squarely with those who voted for Obama.
3rd party 08 !!!
Yes, Congratulations on your candidate winning the Primary.
And Condolences to America.
The Dems have just lost the Presidency.
Add Obama to....
Kerry
Dukakis
Mondale
etc.
This former Democrat has left the building !
3rd party 08 !
There were people who were angry Kerry got the nomination and not Howard Dean also.
All THREE of them !
The difference.... when its 3 people you laugh.
When its 17 million you......lose !
Only Clinton 08 ! (otherwise its 3rd party !)
PS. Hey Dems ..... Kerry LOST, selective memory ? Or intentional stupidity ??
June 3 2008
The day the Dem party died.
Hell, the dems dont need to have elections "stollen" from them anymore they GIVE em away!
Today is the day the republicans got what they wanted, a republican win in november.
Good luck to you and good luck to America, your on your own !
I may have lost my Party, but I still have my vote.
Socialist 08 and beyond !
There were people who were angry Kerry got the nomination and not Dean also.
All three of them !
The difference, when its 3 people you laugh.
When its 17 million you......lose !
Only Clinton 08 ! (otherwise its 3rd party !)
Should the Nominee be Clinton how will you vote ?
a) Clinton /Dem
b) McCain / repub
c) Other party
Should the nomiee be Obama how will you vote ?
1) Obama /Dem
2) McCain / repub
3) Other party
Why is optional.
What does this mean ????
It means she leads in POPULAR vote.
It means with 2 States left to vote, Obama is NOT yet the nominee.
It means that ALL the Dems who SCREAMED that the "popular vote" IS important in the 2000 election are hypocrites.
It means Obama who has recieved "pass" after "pass" including the favorable decision of the DNC 31 May 2008 can still lose to the better candidate.
It also means the Super delegates will decide the nominee as NIETHER have the required amount of delegates. AND most importantly it means, (based on the rules) the "Supers" will decide this regardless of all the useless talk of ...the math, the math, the math.
That kind of pointless droning is and has been inane to any reasonable person, who understands the process.
"Drop out" ?? "Quit" ???
Americans DONT QUIT, and Clinton is the right choice for AMERICANS !
THATS what a President looks like ! THAT is what young Americans should have as a role model.
Looks like its going to be Clinton after all ! (based on the "rules" !!)
LOL Happy Primarry !
At that time Reagan was President, and the country had Reagan fever. The "great communicator" did just that; he was a great speech giver. All I knew was that, and that he looked like a friendly old man.
After being in the US Army, I saw some of the world and later went to college; studying politics, government, law, economics, and philosophy. After actually studying these subjects I became aware, slowly at first, but then more quickly, that there was nothing American about being a Republican.
Our country was not set up as Republicans believe: that "might makes right" or even majority rule. The founding fathers were greatly concerned with a "tyranny of the majority" and rightly set up a system in which ANY one popular thought might not make sweeping inroads into our government in one election year. This is why we have our House of Representatives elected every 2 years, US Senators every 6, and the President every 4 years.
The great political minds in our nation's history have always been from the liberal left. The things that have been most important to me have always been at the forefront for those great thinkers on the left:
Human Rights
Minority Rights
Civil Rights
In 1992 I was able to vote. As an educated man, I clearly saw that the ideals more closely resembling justice were espoused by the Democratic Party, not the Republicans. My choice in the Dem Primary that year was Paul Tsongas, a university professor, and a leader reminiscent of what a real leader should be based on the writing of the ancient Greeks. (i.e. Aristotle) 'No more,' I thought, 'should this country's President be so ignorant of economics to advocate for "trickle down" theory.' (Supply side.) No more should this country's President be able to give a good speech but say absolutely nothing. No more should this country's President put the good of the wealthy above the good of the entire country.
In other words: the few, the proud, the....Capitalists.
I believe in nationalizing "public" utilities. I believe in nationalizing raw resources of the country. No "private" for profit entity should have a right to:
Drill for oil
Mine coal
Mine gold
Log our forests and keep the profits for themselves,
As if the resources of this country belong to them and not the people.
Production, on the other hand, is and should be a private enterprise venture. After all, cars, or cell phones or anything that is a product or a service should belong to the sphere of the private capitalist system.
And so I voted for the person who I thought could deliver on at least some of the things that were important to me and right for the country. Paul Tsongas.
Bill Clinton ended up being the nominee.
I went along.
In 2000 the election was stolen from the better of the two candidates.
In 2004 I was for Edwards, the party chose Kerry. I went along.
In 2008 I will not go along.
I vote "Democratic" because I know that I can get some of the left leaning things I want with the Dems. We get ZERO of the things the country needs or wants with the Republicans.
But why should I vote for only HALF of what I want, when the Party goes with the nominee who will lose in the general election to the candidate that will give us ZERO of what is good for the country?
If I have to endure a big fat ZERO with the Republicans because the Democratic Party cannot put up a winner, I might as well vote for ALL the things I think are important. I will vote Socialist, I will vote for the party that espouses 100% of what is (in my opinion) right for this country instead of voting for half of and getting nothing anyway.
Do I believe the Socialist party can win? No, of course not.
Do I believe Obama can win the general? No, of course not.
But why should I be left holding a bag half filled with principles on an election night when the bag I will be holding can be full of principles.
When the republicans win again, because the Democratic Party went with the candidate who can't win, we will all be left holding the bag anyway.
At least mine will be full.
I came into this Party with a Clinton and I leave this Party with a Clinton.
As this party is OVER!
Obama people think she meant that something could happen to Obama !
But what she was saying was that Bobby Kennedy was CAMPAIGNING all the way into June before he was horribly killed.
And Bill also campaigned until June.
I see, so why end a Primary when Historically it has gone on much longer than it has now!
Bad example maybe on her part but she was right, and for the O-camp to twist this shows what a disgusting mud-slinging campaign they are and have been running.
The SHAME lies squarely on the O-camp !
That was really disgusting spin !
Talk about something out of nothing !
The wilfull distortion of the O-campaign does nothing but prove that filthy campaign and the candidate is NOT fit.
This is his idea of change??
Clinton 08 ! More than EVER !!
#2 Has NO expierence with governance.
#3 Has NO clear majority, and does NOT have the popular vote.
#4 Has not yet won the Primary with 2 states to go.
And the BIGGIE.....
#5 CANNOT win the general election against McCain.
Listen DNC its up to you, do you want to win the White House or will you give it to the repubs on a silver platter ?
He CANNOT win the general election.
He doesnt even have the support of half the dem party.
The choice is CLEAR ....
Only Clinton 08 !
Obama people think she meant that something could happen to Obama !

Is making something out of nothing a new campaign stratagey ??
Its not over, and Obama is close to the nomination, but you sure couldnt tell by his ignorant supporters who act like he's losing !
Shows me this aint over by a long shot.
Thanks ! :0)
Clinton 08 !
