PRECISELY. HRC is not making a statement about “very hard white working voters.” Because it would be inaccurate, borne out in many almost totally white States. Nuance is everything and Lee Atwater/Karl Rove/Bill Clinton KNOW it. Hillary Clinton is ASKING “hard working white voters” NOT TO VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA because of his race. She is asking “hard working white voters” to VOTE FOR HER BECAUSE SHE IS WHITE. This has been her case since Super Tuesday…to the “Super-Delegates.” This is the message when she openly states — HE CAN’T WIN. She uses codes that are nonsensical to support the claim, which is not being borne out by the voters. Every day it becomes more clear — even to SNL, who originally was sympathetic. Her case is — DO NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. He can’t win. He won’t win….because SHE and BILL SAY SO — and are invalidating a fellow Democrat because of his race…in favor of John McCain. Republicans KNOW this. Republicans posting on these blogs KNOW this. She is running THEIR RACE FOR THEM — to win. She will run again in 2012…saying, “I told you so.” How does it FEEL to have YOUR interests manipulated and leveraged for the personal gain of Clinton Inc.? Fortunately, our children GET IT and are turning the page. That’s WHY the Republicans and HRC/Bill MOCK them…and those of us who are supporting them. HRC and Bill KNOW what they are doing. So do the fearful “Super-Delegates” — leaders in name only. Let’s SEE if the “Super-Delegates” can muster some COURAGE and put these folks in a box, so our/their kids can take the reins of their DESTINY and regain a footing in the modern world.

Buh- Bye
All these TV pundits chanting for her to quit have always reminded me of those creeps who stand below someone on the top of a building ledge yelling “jump, jump, jump.” I am a lifelong Democrat, but if Obama wins the nom, I will not vote for him. This was Hillary’s time. Her age alone makes it difficult for her to run again. He is too green. I know I will be barraged with other Dems saying - you can’t want another 4 yrs of Bush policy but I mistrust him and his desperate ambition so much that I won’t put a tick beside his name. The ONLY way I ever would is if Hillary was brought in as VP.

There ya go. My Alias has written my comment for me. I agree 100%. Hillary is not a trailing Huckabee in this thing, she is within 2% of the popular vote. In The N.Y.Times, there is an electoral map. One glance and you know the election is McCain’s. Why the Democrats would present a candidate so like Kerry who lost royally, I’ll never know. Granted, Obama has more charisma, a better ground network, a solid backing from his own community, but I doubt that it’ll be enough.

Millions of VOTERS are also willing to PAY BARACK OBAMA’S BILLS as real evidence and tangible validation of support vs. what we see w/HRC, basically self-funding her own dream saga.

Marjorie, “….a solid backing from his own community.” Huh?? You attribute Obama’s being the presumptive nominee to “his own community”? To which community to you refer? The human race? The national community? His community at Harvard Law School that voted him most likely to become US president? Or are you referring to the African American community that represents 13% of our 300 Million population? A NYT electoral map doesn’t make the US general election any more McCains, that some sense of entitlement on Clinton’s part makes the Demo nomination hers. And Senator Obama isn’t leading this 3-way horse race because of support from his “community.” Interesting to know that one glance of the NYT electoral map can resolve an election for you.

Americans don’t believe in PRE-DESTINATION. We SEIZE our DESTINY and rock the world with our boldness. The FEAR-mongering by our “leadership” - manipulating us and tellling us to put PLASTIC ON OUR WINDOWS, while invading Nations two at a clip, must end. HRC has made HER CASE if “lifelong Democrats” would rather a 3rd Bush term than the man the majority of Democrats want. HRC (and Bill) are no “dream” for a Barack ticket. She proudly states she has “baggage” - and has DEVALIDATED BARACK OBAMA AS PRESIDENT, basically eliminating herself. Just because Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, John Edwards, etc. were too polite to bring up HER BAGGAGE, while she passed judgement on all of them simultaneously, ad nauseum — doesn’t mean the Republicans will not. The Republicans are salivating at the idea of running against a Clinton. Period. We will not accomodate them. The “dream” ticket is the Republican DREAM!

Hillary should tell everyone to sit on a tack! In this I include people who say she’s worse than the women at Abu Garaib, that she should be full of self-doubt like Barbara Walters, and all the other lame things things I have read. I don’t know why she even wants to represent many people in this country anymore! She is a far better woman than I.

Hillary is by far the more qualified candidate. Why should she pack it in now? I’ll vote Democrat regardless of who’s running, but I’ll be sorely disappointed if I have to vote for the lesser candidate this fall. Stick it out, Hillary - it ain’t over ‘til it’s over, as they say.

There is so much corruption going on…..none of us have a clue. Both parties are just as bad. Like Lou Dobbs says “God have mercy.”

>>I am so done with this question.<< Me, too. This constant repeating the same things about HRC is boring. And now we have someone putting a lot of her points in those shouting capital letters because she thinks we can’t hear her. Over and out.

May God grace us with a miracle for Hillary. :-) I just cannot stand looking at another person who swaggers for the next 4 years should Barack be elected…..sigh. He does not seem genuine to me, comes across more as someone who likes to write and make speeches. No real depth, or substance, IMO. Hillary is genuinely concerned about the people in this country, he is more concerned with the way he looks, the way he comes across in his speeches.

And now I am headed out to my pool where I shall float away all of my frustrations. LOL! Oh yeah, COUNT MY FLORIDA VOTE, Barack! We have 4 votes here for Hillary that as yet go uncounted! Toodles! :-)

When the idiots in charge of the Democratic Party decided to eliminate the voters of Michigan and Florida, they could have lowered the delegate requirement. Duh.
