Election'08

Hillary who?

superdelegates siding with Obama

The superdelegates in siding with Obama on Friday, Saturday, Monday in repudiation of the Democratic nomination process have put the Democratic Party on the path to a train wreck in November and entrenched votes for McCain. Obama will crash and burn in November if he swipes the nomination.

Oh the Irony for Clinton

Hillary Clinton and herDNC friends Ickes and McAuliffe worked so hard to gerrymander the Democratic Primary process so that it would benefit their "Inevitable Candidate" One can only recall the smugness with which the Clintons shook down fat cats and other high net worth donors with the pitch: "the train is leaving the station..Hillary is the inevitable nominee..do you want to be on the inside or on the outside looking in..are you with us or against us?" Now allthat Hillary Clinton and her surrogates: Begala, Carville, Ickes, McAuliffe have left in this race is "RACE" running a manipulative, deceptive campaign by design to appeal to the left side of the bell curve, the intellectually undernourished, the lower middle class working class groups who have neither the ability, inclination or desire to verify the veracity of the Clinton lies, deceit and fraud. The Clintons are left to DEFRAUDING WORKING CLASS VOTERS IN A PART OF AMERICA where RACISTS are still proud to tell you that they "ain't gonna vote for a black man who is a muslim" Rather than embrace the Democratic Party's progressive and inclusive ideology, what is left is a New York Senator and former First Lady of this country patting the voters onthe head telling em it's ok, I am one of you, the blonde, blue eyed white lady who fights for you. It would be laughable and sad if only the FRAUD & DECEPTION were not working so well. Knock the Neocons all you want, the CLINTONS are far worse, because deep down they know better. THE CLINTONS ARE SHOWING AMERICA WHO THE TRUE ELITISTS ARE....they do not give a rats ass about the poor, the working classes etc..but they are only too happy to exploit them for votes. HILLARY IS GENUINE....A GENUINE AMERICAN FRAUD wearing a as her MASK: Fake Blue Eyes (contact lenses), Dyed Blonde Hair, Botox Injected Face and an accent that is contrived to sound more Southern if that is where she happens to be.

The Clintons think they are Entitled

Its too late for them thank God

both

hilary obama stinks

Hillary's strength

In fact, game is not over yet, whatever people say.

Hillary is doing her best without giving up to the end. It is her belief and message to people. We could learn from her in our lives. We have to do our best without giving up

until results come down. She is not damn. Former first lady could have comfortable retirement life. She didn't choose such a life. I think she really want to serve American people.People are making fun of he,r but she is always stable and doing her job done. For the first time, I realized her greatness.

Hypocrisy of Hillary supporters

When posters here decry the superdelegates "repudiating the democratic process" by endorsing Obama...give me a break! Hillary did her damnedest to line up hundreds of superdelegates BEFORE A SINGLE VOTER HAD CAST A BALLOT. Why not accuse HER of subverting the process?

Since the voting actually began on Jan. 3, though, the superdelegates have slowly but surely swung to Obama, who after primaries in 45 states now leads in every metric in the race. He has an insurmountable pledged delegate lead, EVEN ACCORDING TO HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN. Hillary's camp is the one who wants to subvert the process, by hoping the supers overlook his lead, and throw the nomination to her anyway. The voters, and the Democratic party leadership won't let her.

I also find it ironic that Hillary's camp wrings their hands over not "disenfranchising" Florida and Michigan, when their hope is to effectively disenfranchise the other 48 states who have collectively given Obama the lead in delegates.

Please, Hillary, just go away now.
