I'm one of those life-long democrats that will not be voting for that empty suit, Obama. I strongly feel the nomination was stolen from Hillary by the biased media. It didn't take rocket science to figure it out after the Iowa caucaus. The media's reporting of campaign was anti-Hillary. The woman couldn't do anything right: she doesn't show emotion, oh wait, now she is crying and is it genuine?, her cackling laugh, her paintsuits. She gave a powerful speech at the end of a debate about our suffering veterans. I saw people in the audience brought to tears. The media demeaned her moving speech to a "valedictory" speech. Obama went first and his speech was very lame. What about the non-stop Hillary bashing by the likes of Cafferty, Olbermann and Matthews. I haven't even touched on the sexist comments not only made by male pundits but to make it even worse women pundits!

The last straw for me was Obama's hypocrisy when Hillary made that comment about RFK in South Dakota. I thought it was disgusting that they would imply she was referring to Obama's assassination. Obama had massive e-mails sent out to the press about this comment and then turns around like a wimp-ass and states "I don't think she meant anything by it".

The Last Comment:

The coat hanger abortion comment is a real sad state of affairs. Devisiveness

breeds that kind of spirit. I for one am saddened by that. Because if McCain is

blessed to have her vote he may win and then I wonder how she and all of the

defectors from the Democratic Party will honor Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. A

fine Politician who left the Campaign to those she trusted and who intern let her down. How sad all of this is. This year Democrates should be baskin in the sun.

Bush-McSame, the Wars, the Republican Scandals etc. we should be able to

run "Stoopie" and win. In 2009 we are looking forward to a Majority in Both

House and Senate and we "Women" are allowing ourselves to self distruct.

How does that honor Sen Clinton? Thanks Gloria for the article. I watch you on

CNN and I am glad for the chance to have this debate. Whatever Sen. Clinton

wants I am positve that Sen. Obama for the sake of Party Unity will agree that she

deserves it. I would love for her to be VP but what would they do with Pres Clinton?

They would do to Obama what she and Bill did to Al Gore. What kind of Change

would that represent?

Hillary Clinton

It's never easy to see a political choice denied, but even Hillary's supporters admit that her campaign was presumptive and poorly prepared. Most of the comments basically say that she was supposed to win. That means no primary was needed; she would have begun as the nominee. Nobody is entitled to votes; they have to be earned. I don't accept the sexism argument either; Hillary said she could run with the big boys. That implies awareness of the game and all its pitfalls. She should have been prepared for what she claims was sexism; she was the only woman running. I think she hurt herself, first by ignoring her consistently high negatives, then by appealing to the worst tendencies in the electorate. She's been called divisive, and she proved that charge has a basis. Further proof is "vengeance votes" for a 3rd Bush term via McCain. Can anyone actually say that's harmless?

McCain does not have the support of any major veteran’s group. Why? Oh yeah, he never support’s their bills.

What else.

I think age IS on the table, because I think that any person with their finger on the RED Button NEEDs to have ALL his marbles.

The brain degenerates with age, and we should really want to know more about McCain’s brain before anyone votes for him.

Have McCain do some IQ tests, memory tests, a few brain scans, –let us know that whether his mind is ok. What is the liklihood that he will develop Alzheimer’s in the next 4 years. etc?

These are things we need to know. Do we want a president that becomes a puppet of his handlers, as is likely to happen with a president without his marbles?

Clinton=O.J.

Remember the bizarre and pathetic embrace of O.J. by some African Americans who really should have known better? Some of the bitter HRC dead-enders should look in the mirror because that's what you look like right now. It's always been about THEM for both of the Clintons, but sadly Hillary doesn't have Bill's old charm to pull it off. Her refusal to exit gracefully and try to blackmail Obama into concesssions proves every allegation against her. Those Clinton supporters who will now work for an Obama victory in the fall: welcome aboard, and we're happy to have you. The rest of you: have fun with the thousand year war and those coathanger abortions under McCain's supreme court.

HRC

She had every advantage and Obama won. If he runs as good a campaign against McCain he will win easily. The you go girl feminists who try to make this a gender issue not a "who is the best leader of the party issue" completely miss the fact that she would have won going away had she admitted her vote on the war was wrong and that the correct course in the Iraq occupation was to leave. Instead she ran as Mrs. Lieberman. Joe was trounced by democrats in the primary in CT. These are the same (in spirit) democrats who voted in other primaries. They were opposed to the war. Her votes for cluster bombs and hawkish rhetoric proved to be her undoing. Unfortunately it was not that the stars were misaligned but that the fault dear Brutus.... That is what is missing from all the women who are so angry now- the fact that Obama opposed the war from the beginning, ran a great campaign and seized the day. Give him some credit. Even Edwards could not defeat the Clinton machine. Obama is a smart guy.

Hillary as Write In Candidate

I too will be writing in Hillary's name in November if the Democratic Party is dumb enough to give this nomination to Obama. Obama has NOT won ANY of the big swing states. Polls show him losing badly to McCain in both Florida and Ohio and we need both to win back the White House. See here:

http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Obama/Maps/May19.html --> this info is updated daily and shows Obama consistently losing to McCain, while Hillary is consistently beating McCain.

Wake up DNC!!!

Obama's delegate lead right now is nearly identical to the number of votes he won in caucuses in the red states. We won't be winning UT, ID, NE, KS or WY in November. IF Obama is the nominee, he WILL be crushed by McCain. IF the Democratic Party is stupid enough to nominate Obama, Hillary as a write-in candidate is the only hope the Democrats have to get a Democrat back in the White House come November!

Beyond embarrassment

This lady is ruining any chance that a woman will have a presidential bid. Her perverse need for power when she has the chances of a snowball in hell has shown that her faculties are not all that together. her behavior, along with her logic for staying in the race, has gotten more unreasonable as the minutes tick by. She sounds like she has bipolar disorder. with her delusions of grandeur. She's breaking the cohesiveness of the democratic party, which is the last thing we need, especially when we have a real chance to elect someone (not her) who can really change the government for the better.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Hillary Clinton. Shame on you!

election
