Thanks to the history lessons, Alexis of N.Y., and Jed Guertin of Vt, gave to the short-term memory Americans. Hllary could never compare herself to the articulate,

Barbara Jordan or Shirley Chisolm. These two didn't just talk, they lead and made

sacfices as well. They were involved in the civil rights movement, and made sacrifices for women ( as well as men) of all origins. I once had a white female doctor who admitted to me, the civil rights movment (something Blacks fought and died for), wholehardely benefited white females, like her and other minorities. She even admitted white women benefitted more from the civil rights movement than

Blacks. If a change like this, benefitted so many peple, Imagine what great changes Obama can bring to all of us. It's time for a change, to elect Obama!!!!!

"Cowley is right. If Obama doesn't let Sen. Clinton bow out on her own terms, he'll drive even more of her supporters into the McCain camp than have already told pollsters that is precisely where they're headed."

Obama himself has made it clear he has no control over when Hillary stops, and isn't looking for it. The job of "bowing out" is entirely hers. So far she hasn't shown any inclination.

As you can tell I am not concerned at all about November. I think it is over no matter which one of these two nitwits you put up. We have destroyed both of them by screwing with your primaries. We destroyed the Clinton's legacy and Hillary will never rehilitate herself before she an all dried up hag.... oops too late. Her only chance was this time or next and she has poisoned over half the Democrats to her, you can't win with 28% of Americans supporting you. AND she is seen as a racist. She will never win another election. I would love to see those blacks in NY turn against her and she lose her senate seat also. The DNC and a lot of fellow senators aren't happy with her so she will be treated like the plague when she goes back. This is a republicans dream come true, it is like Christmas morning. The Clintons have fallen and can't get up, School children will be reading years from now how Hillary used racial attacks against the first black nominee, maybe it will be in the same chapter as the KKK and the Crow laws. LMAO where is the first black candidate now? Blacks should look at the party of Lincoln, the democrats have proven who the racists are.

"Gov. David Paterson was taken to a hospital in Manhattan on Tuesday after experiencing migraine-like symptoms."

This is the one seat people said Hillary might be interested in since she lost the Presidential Nomination, why is it mysterious things always happen to people that are in the Clinton's way? RON Brown, DARLENE NOVINGER, CHARLES RUFF, JAMES MCDOUGAL, VINCENT FOSTER, MARY MAHONEY, C. VICTOR RAISER II and many others have died mysteriously.

Mary Mahoney was an intern set to go public about sexual harrassment in the White House was myteriously murdered in a StarBucks.

JEREMY "MIKE" BOORDA's death was ruled a suicide but the reason given was later proven false, the reason they gave never happened and military men know you don't shoot yourself in the chest, and it was on his front lawn where he went every morning to get his paper, after sleeping soundly the night before.

JERRY PARKS gunned down while sitting in his car, assassination? His house was broken into and his personal files stolen at the same time? Probably another suicide.

FLORENCE MARTIN dies of three gunshot wounds? suicide?

BILL SHELTON suciide

KATHY FERGUSON found with gunshot wound to the head although she was found beside her luggage getting ready to leave for the airport.

SUZANNE COLEMAN Ruled a suicide, one of Bill Clinton's girlfreinds, was pregant at the time of her death. Oh and she died from a gunshot wound to the back of the head, odd way to commit sucide.

4 people connected with the Clinton's "accidently" fell out of windows of very tall buildings.

BARBARA WISE her bruised and nude body was found inside her locked office, probably a suicide I am sure.

Numerous people died in plane crashes, a common ploy used by despots around the world.

one man set to testify against the Clinton's was found decapitated, it was ruled natural causes.

over a dozen former bodyguards have been killed.

and some people with Clinton info about their financial dealing with foreign governments have died in the past year... mysteriously.

Hillary would be easily beat in November, all we would have to do is remind people who these hillbillies are (obama wouldn't do it, he didn't want to PO the Clintons more then he was by just running, maybe he was scared for his safety) all their scandals would have made an easy victory for us. I think we will still win but Obama could be more trouble then the Clintons. I would much rather face Hillary, especially since she PO'd the Blacks. A democrat can't win without a huge black vote which Hillary will never get, not now, not in four years. We could be in the WHite House for the next 20 years thanks to Billary.

McCain will win in November, Iran will be spanked, we will stay in Iraq and we will overturn abortion rights and there is nothing you can do about it. All this happened because it was His will. You Democrats lose because you are immoral, Americans have the same values as Republicans.

Brandy of MD 11:36AM May 20, 2008

No we don't have to destroy Obama, Hillary already did and we thank her for it. She attacked him in ways our mainstream leaders would never have been able. Now we don't have to look like the racists, I am LMAO that the CLintons are the racists, and love the legacy they have created and the destruction of Democrats and the Clinton name. Once again we will win the White House thanks to the cnacer in the Democratic party. If you remember Bush would never had won if not for the Clinton's. We love the Clintons, the best weapon the Republican party has.

And clinton couldn't win in a general, she isn't even getting 50% of the Democratic vote and at least 10% of those are us republicans messing with your primaries. Hillary wouldn't have won In, Tx, or a lot of other places if we wouldn't have voted for her. And check the exit polls, most of the republicans voting for her say they would never vote for her in a genral, we hate her. Democrats are delusional and not very bright, this is why we always win, we out think you.

If we go to war with Iran two things will surely happen:

1. draft

2. $200 a barrel oil

and maybe one more

an economy not seen since the 1930s...

(the previous post was by a republican, Democrats don't watch Faux News.

And the Media Nominee is........con-obama

Obama: The Media Elect

Obama has played this race by deception to Americans. He has lied about his background and his connections with radical, Anti American, anti semitic leaders until just a few months ago. He has hidden his relationship with Reverend Wright,, Farrakhan, the “Nation of Islam’ leader, Syrian Criminal, Anton Rezko and his Black Liberation Theology since the beginning of the primary. Most of my community have changed their minds about this man and will not vote for him in the general election because of this lies and deception.

This whole election process, especially not seating Florida and Michigan,with almost 400 delegates, is a disgrace for the American people. John King keep showing his map with only 48 states. These maps and math are convincing superdelegates that Obama is in the lead.

There are 50 states in our country. Obama has done everything in his power to convince everyone that there is only 48 by not having a revote or even seating them.

The postponement of seating these state is a deliberate act. Senator Obmama is deliberately postponing this decision to brag about his lead.

For those people that were too young to know President Clinton.He is not liked, but loved through out the world. Our country was thriving, the era was "upbeat" and there was peace in our country.

There is no way to compare "Bush" and Clinton. The Clintons were the BEST!

The media has painted President Clinton as a racist in spite of the fact that he has an office in Harlem. He could have had his office on 5th Avenue overlooking Central Park but chose to be near the African American people. His years in office were spent fighting for civil rights and for the underdog, especially African American.

The coverage of this campaign is disgraceful in this regard above all. African Americans should be ashamed of how they have treated all of the Clintons.

Trinity United Church of Christ, Tony Rezko the Syrian Criminal, Louis Farrakhan a radical "Nation of Islam"leader, William Ayers a 60’s radical that bombed government buildings and Muslim upbringing should be a wake up call to Democrats.

Please Democtats, we can not lose the chance of winning the White House with this deceptive candidte,that has known about these issues before the first primary and kept it away from the media until the end of this race.

Senator Obama will lose this election if he's the nominee.

Lastly and something that needs to be evaluated is the race issue; There will never be a fair an accurate poll determining how many people will really vote for Obama. McCain will win if the Democrats don't wake up.

On Fox News Sunday, Williams claimed Obama's Muslim father "presents a problem"

On the January 21 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, National Public Radio senior correspondent and Fox News contributor Juan Williams noted that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) "comes from a father who was a Muslim" and added that "given that we're at war with Muslim extremists, that presents a problem."

How much more bad news do we need to know about a Democrat candidate before we realize that this man is laughing up his sleeve at all of us.

Wake up Democrats. We can not and will not win this election unless we run from Obama and start supporting the Clintons.

Please keep the unsettling issues pertaining to Senator Obama in the forefront.

There are too many issues surrounding this man that disturbs many Americans and believe me, there will be many more to come. The Republicans will destroy Senator Obama.

Al from Greenville of 11:07AM May 20, 2008

A senior Bush administration member told Isreal in a closed door meeting that the Bush Administration would be attacking Iran in the next couple of months. Even if by air more ground troops will be needed on the Iraq border. If Iran lashes out at Iraq it will start a land war even if we don't plan it, at the least a huge upswing in violence in Iraq requiring more boots on the ground. There will be a draft, they may wait until after the election but they are telling everyone their intentions. To cast your vote for war and cost the lives of our children because of poor leadership is evil.
