election

Never thought i could vote against a democrat. Well my choice is Obama or McCain. Sorry Obama you just changed my mind. We think that Bush is bad just wait until Obama wins. We citizens are in for some worst times

"No, I will never run for president."

- Hillary Clinton

Where's the beef of Obama's rhetoric

Sen. Clinton opened up women 's power. The media was sexiest...shame on them .The coverage between Obama and Clinton was so unfair. who is Obama.?There was a news block out but with Sen. Clinton, she had been shredded to pieces with small mistake she says.

I'm so saddened on the result of the unfairness that was given to her by the DNC.

Stupid article. As if Hillary could have raised the 212 million by giving it away and not running. That 212 million employed a lot of people and helped support businesses that it spent the money on such as the media, advertisers, hotels and restaurants, etc etc.

Stop whining...

Gods, people whine when they lose. Hilary is OUT. Done. Finished. And she spent a sizable fortune in losing a race that all the pundits said was hers to take when she announced her candidacy. It was a waste of money for her because she ran a poor campaign from the start, and the article, tasteless as it may be, is pointing out how much of a waste it really was.

She didn't connect with the voters, she approved of the DNC's decisions until they potentially stood in the way of her winning (and be fair, if a candidate isn't even on the ballot, is that a REAL election? She didn't get over 40% of the Michigan vote when she ran unopposed.) and she floundered because of it.

Clinton lost.

It's over.

Stop whining.

What a waste of space. Can't you find anything more interesting to talk about during this campaign than how many lottery tickets Hillary could have bought NYers. Seriously!

This year I'm going INDEPENDENT....NADAR/GONZALEZ FOR 2008!!

IDIOT

Katz, do you even have a bachelor's degree? You so called journalist are PATHETIC!! You can't even do your job whiich is to investigate and vet. All of you are so afraid of Barack you are not even willing to ask serious questions. Ask him if what Larry Sinclair says is true? Ask him about the "pay and play" he participated in Chicago? ASK HIM!! Wait until the general is over then you can write Barack's Obit. : PRICELESS.

Shame on you

Shame on you for this outrageous article. She WON in terms of electoral votes.

She WON in terms of Democratic states. She LOST according to DNC rules.

Sen. Obama has almost all the MEDIA support. He is given a pass again and

again whereas MEDIA literally hounded Sen. Clinton. The latent Sexism hurt her.

Most of the Dem leaders coulnot get over that she was the wife of Pres. Clinton.

They are willing to belittle her experience/achievements but they are quite happy

to support Sen. Obama who has even lesser experience and achievements.

Of Course, Sen. Obama is a gifted speaker and She is more of a policy wonk.

Here is a loss that is a result of many factors. So, belittling her is grotesque.

Really?

Potshots here US News for this one! Way out of line. I am so tired of the disrespect. It is not okay to do this. Obama says Washington has got to change. The next step will be cleaning up the media.

Petty Calculus

What kind of petty calculus is this? Sure if we took all the money spent on politics and spent it to feed the poor, life would be grand. But this article is like penalizing Hillary for running in the first place... as if she should be running a charitable program or feminist publicity stunt instead of running for public office. Come on! Grow up!
