Blame Bill
You angry Hillary voters seem to be blaming the wrong person(s) for Hillary's defect. First, I can understand hurt and disapointment, but ANGER?!!! What's that about? Seriously? Hillary is one tough lady. She knew as well as anybody what to expect, after all, she been though it all before with Bill. Bill is the one who disrespected his wife, in front of the world. Don't blame anybody for a lost election, it happens.
And for cybergranny, you talk rediculous! What about the statement of Bobby Kennedy? You forget? Also, you are right, there will be fallout from this. Remember, if you angry voters don't support Obama, Hillary will have to face the same music when she runs for anything. Do what's right if you ever want the full support of the party for Hillard. Don'r mess up her chances
Write-in
Can we write-in Clinton for the General Election instead of giving up
Not just women
Sorry, but there are more people other than women whom are angry. They include blue collar, gun and religious clinging, "bitter" now, but not before, asian, latino, and 18 million voters from many other socioeconomic status.
Obama is a liar and and has no class
Obama was cought in several lies about his past and about his friends and about his family.Lied about stuff that would not even mattered to most people.He made a gesture like shooting a bird at Hilary on tv and dusted off his shoulders .He has no class and certainly not the kind of person who should represent the greatest country in the world.Every excuse was made for him while every statement of fact and any word the Clintons spoke was turned around to sound like something different.Cnn said his name every 2 minutes--brain washing--propaganda.They said she should ask all her redneck supporter not to vote for her if tey where a racists.They did not ask that of him.All the media took part in the assination of her campaign and character with their jokes and chants --not Hillary campaign.There will be hell to pay!! I want to live to see it.
Hillary lost because she is not as good a candidate at Barack
Hillary consistently said "I will work for you to change..." Nice concept, but when Barack consistently said "We need to work together to achieve lasting change . . .." the voters heard the difference and showed they prefered the second alternative. Barack has a more appealling, consistent and realistic message, which is that we need to change the old ways of government and insitute a real change consisting of people working together to achieve a common purpose for the general good.
Sitting out the race or voting for McCain would be big mistake, and will not do anything to change the reality of her loss. If you are on the fence, please consider Barack's message of hope and change, and join him and millions of others in kicking the McBushes out of power.
Sexism? Media bias? Fla/Mich votes?
Excuse me?
Sexism?The only time sexism was used during Hillary's campaign was when she, her husband or her supporters brought it up. Put the seed in someone's ear, and it grows.
Media Bias? I believe Obama, Hillary and McCain get plenty of put downs and re-runs of negatives by the media. It was only when it was obvious that Obama had the numbers to win that the media AND even Hillary's supporters were wondering why she wasn't conceding. But it was definitely OK for her to go until the end of last primaries.
Fla/Mich votes? Get it in your heads....NONE OF THESE VOTES COUNTED! They ALL agreed on it. It was only when Hillary was losing did she dig up the thought to plant another seed in everyone's ears: "don't disenfranchise the voters". If you need to organize a riot, Hillary's your girl! Fla and Mich DID need to be seated, but not by Hillary's own personal rules.
She and Bill are sore losers and blame everyone else for their problems. They did it when they lived in the White House and they have done it through the campaign. Doesn't this sound familiar? GWB has the same traits...My way or the Highway and never admitting a mistake.
I am a 62 yr old white female and Hillary has embarrassed me many times throughout this campaign because of her unsavory tactics. Hillary is a woman, Obama is black, and McCain is a war veteran.....none of these factors should be a reason to vote for any of them! Vote for the best platform and the best way to end the nastiness and corporation run government.
Had enough!
.....sexism, dismissal, disregard, sit down, be quiet, sweetie, honey......isn't the media supposed to be objective in it's coverage and presentation? Isn't the candidate supposed to be nominated at the convention? I'm sick of the media, sick of the sexism, and sick of the Democratic party. I will be voting AGAINST the Democratic party. One day in November, someone, somewhere will mutter, "We never should have given them the vote."........my vote is for them (sic).
Hillary Clinton
I am amused at all the Hillary supporter huff about this nomination being 'stolen' from under her. I literally roll my eyes when I read such things. For one, Hillary assumed (and wrongly so) that she had this nomination all sewn up. She was a woman, a CLINTON and, by and large, was THE BEST candidate this country had to offer.
I beg to differ. As I, like thousands of other voters, did not see any 'magic' to Hillary. Being a CLINTON is not an entitlement to a presidential nomination, and I (like so many others) could see where she falted in making her opponent 'appear' horrible to boost her own self image. The popular image that Americans once welcomed.
The Hillary Camp got it wrong. They misjudged the current political climate and made major mistakes in their campaigning strategy. They hoped America would want to deal with another Clinton era by reling on the popular vote, and overwhemlingly America said NO: NOT AGAIN.
I am a Democrate and will vote for a democrate in the General Election. I refuse to waste my vote on a Clinton or another Bush for that matter.
I waited so long... for this?
I am a Brazilian woman that has been living here for 25 years and never could make up my mind about became an American citizen until recently. I though this is the most important election in the worl , then, less than 2 months ago I became an American citizen and now I too could vote for this special election because I always believe in democracy in this country.
Give it to the people what the people want. And the people want Hillary. Why do we need superdelegates telling us who is going to be on the golden ticket in novenber? Just one example: Last time I check Hillary won California, and now the superdelegates are giving their votes in California to Obama? What that H--- is going on? Is that democracy?
I waited 25 years for this? I am not going to vote for McCain but I am not also going to vote for Obama. I may write my vote for Hillary just for the heck of it. I think our goose is cooked.
No Obama '08
Its sad that we would have to chose between Obama and Mc Cain. The reality is alot of us will vote for Mc Cain over Obama in a heartbeat.
Obama carries none of our beliefs, though he'll claim to. We'd rather deal with a shaky handed Mc Cain than a rookie who hasnt done much to get where he's at. Sure he beat Clinton. Not because he's the better candidate, but because he's the better politician. The man could sell SUV's and make millions! Even at $4 a gallon.
