Senator Hillary Clinton is still our best choice as Nominee for President if the Democrats even hope to have a chance to win in November. Senator Hillary Clinton's big Win in West Virgina this late in the primary season should speak volumes, if the DNC would only listen...I worked on Senator Hillary Clinton's campaign in Pennsyvania, and I'm glad I did. When I was in Pennsylvania people were very excited about Senator Hillary Clinton and the support for her was overwhelming. Even when I was driving through Pennsyvania and Ohio, people would see my Hillary Clinton sign in the back of my truck and smile, wave, and give the thumbs up. If the DNC thinks it's going to appoint Senator Barack Obama our nominee without looking at all the facts, like the Supreme Court appointed George W. Bush to be president. You'd better think hard and fast about what you really want to accomplish here. Because I guarantee you with all the dirty tricks we have seen so far in this Democratic Primary process, there will be a backlash. A backlash that spells defeat in November.

I just don't know how she survives.
To knock the wind out of her victory in WV, just the day later, Edwards steps up and endorses.
This saddens me since Universal Health Care was so important to him...... well, I thought.... it died with him and now
it dies with her loss.

Oh well, moving on..... as we always do ..

but she needs money...... every little token is well spoken..

send a extra dine.... I use to ask for nickels.
This will boost her confidence knowing that the support is still out there.

contribute and thanks!

Yes,

I see I have friends here.

I agree with you all. I am so very hurt by this party that I worked my whole life for.

She is worthy of your support. I agree with the other poster, try to give her campaign some money if you can spare it.

The DNC is not giving Barack Obama anything. His campaign was more effective than Hillary's. It raised more money, managed the money it raised better, got more people participating, had a 50 state strategy; he won more votes, more delegates and thus far twice as many contests. His nomination isn't inevitable, but he has earned it if it comes. This is no slight to Hillary, but I blame her campaign team for her failure. They went about fundraising the wrong way, the campaign is in serious debt and has been for some time, had a "big state" strategy; she won fewer votes, fewer delegates and half the contests. However, purely speaking for Hillary (and not her campaign managers), if she gets the nomination she will also have earned it for sheer determination, tenacity, energy and obvious mass appeal.

His style is to set up on campuses harvest the students and bolster his vote.
They are the most unreliable and last GE only 20% voted.... Obama cannot win the GE...... period
Not without Clinton's support group.

Obama's support group needs a Dem in the White House more than Clinton's. He has the starving students and the poor and lower income groups.
Yes, the wealthy too but the ones that will suffer are always the same group... when the Rep. are in office.

He out spent Clinton.....again..... 2-1 in WV.

He is saving his surplus as a offering to the DNC to add to their Funds for the GE.
$50 Million plus........

This could be scary stuff....... dangerous, in fact.
He has donated $710,000 to SD Clinton $210,000

More scary stuff..... 82% follow the money.

NOW THIS IS CHANGE IN WASHINGTON WE CAN BELIEVE IN.


EVERY CLINTON SUPPORTER...Email the DNC and Nancy Pelosi...... tell them in your own words what is on your mind. We are just singing to the choir here.

It is traditional for campaigns which are flush with cash to donate to downticket candidates. I remember the howls of complaint when, in 2004, Hillary Clinton had built up the biggest campaign warchest in the entire Democrat Party ($51.8 million) in a contest which was a walk-over for her (against an unknown), yet her campaign did not donate a penny to any other Democrat candidates as far as I am aware. They literally blew over $40 million on private jets and other frivolities, then put the remaining $10 million into her Presidential campaign - which they then also quickly went through. Hillary Clinton barely, if at all, campaigned for John Kerry and John Edwards. So please don't lecture me on who gave what to whom, and who spends their money better.

And the list? It is the most coveted list in the history of politics. Obama does not need to share that list with anybody, but he chooses to share, because he, like me, wants a solid majority in both Houses to push forward Democrat initiatives and undo the damage done by 8 years of a Republican administration and 13 years of a Republican-controlled Congress and Senate.

Your statement says it all and this is what the American people sees in Hillary Rodham Clinton:
". . . sheer determination, tenacity, energy and obvious mass appeal." However, on her "plate" is 35 years of solid experience which she not only uses, but also will use in all her decisions for us.

John Edwards endorsement of Barack may have rattled our "cages" but only temporary. The "Comeback Lady" will prevail.

Very well put. I am very proud of Hillary and my support of her candidacy is as strong as ever.

no offense but go on and kid yourself.
Obama is endorsing based on fear to lose the black vote and no matter that he would get 99% of the black vote it is not enough to give him a win.

the DNC handing the republicans a victory on a golden platter as Obama's wins are in the Notorious Red States which will stay red however it looks like with his nomination some Blue States might Red.
Hillary to the contrary of Obama has captured the Blue States and could be able to grab more votes than Kerry and Gore did in Red States.

If you have been following the Democratic tidal wave of grassroots uprising, you will have noticed that thanks to Howard Dean and our 50 State strategy, so-called "red" states are now in play in 2008.

Even if you discount the enormous progress we have made in those "red" states you are dismissing, you can't deny this: In the so-called "blue" states that Dems win all the time, even when Clinton won Obama garnered as much as 30% more of the independent and "swing" voters. clear statistical evidence that he will be stronger in so-called "swing states."

It's about the votes of citizens like you and me.

No one is "appointing" anyone to anything. The numbers do not lie - Clinton has just not been winning, fair and square.

But, I must say I have been very impressed with Mrs. Clinton's rhetoric this last week. She has increasingly been de-emphasizing the differences between her and Obama, and she has been clearly defending Obama against attacks - whereas a couple weeks ago she would have been jumping at the opportunity to knock him.

I am very impressed by this change in tone, and my estimation of her political abilities has increased tremendously as a result.
