That’s wonderful! Thanks for the heads up! Exciting times!

Politics sure seems to bring out the worst in the best of us. The blame game gets old. One thing I believe to be fact…if you don’t vote then don’t complain. You did it to yourself.

I expect this from Rove, but not from Hillary supporters? Well isn’t it a good thing, we’re not going by the personalties of a candidate’s supporters, to pick our candidate? I am for Obama. Obama talks about hope and healing and listening and reaching across. Many of Obama supporters talk about this too. But they don’t do it. They preach that this is what Hillary has to do. They themselves, not so much. So it’s a good thing, I make my choice based on my candidate’s record and the abilities he has shown me and not on the behavior of his followers.

Ooo—Karl Rove. Is that brat the worst insult you can come up with for us Hillary supporters?

I refer you to Bob Herbert’s column, “Seeds of Destruction,” in the May 10 issue of “The New York Times.”

Regarding Joan G Cooney’s comment regarding Clinton playing the race card….Anyone who overlooks or denies that many white voters have racial bias is being an ostrich. I have heard many Obama supporters express and blog vicious,foul,and sexist tribes on Hillary Clinton. The Huffington Post, Daily Kos, Buzzflash,Talking Points Memo, and many others in the Left blogosphere are violently anti Hillary sites that have been outrageously toxic and mysogynist. The Obamatons on these sites have been violent,vulgar,insulting,hostile, and totally anti Hillary. Hillary has been treated sleazily and with tremendous bias by the MSM while Obama has been fawned over and soft lobbed 24/7. The internet Left has been almost uniformly hostile to Hillary and Obamaniacs use filthy comments that are not taken down, and attract violent anti Clinton comments. She has been called a pimp, a “HO” on black liberation sites, and worse on HuffPo and DailyKos. Our presumptive liberals and idealists of the future voters in the New Democratic Party are comprised of many angry sexists unbridled in their willingness to use smut,smear, and hate or anything in fact to destroy Hillary Clinton. Obamatons have been a great internet source of funds and support, but they have hurt the Dem party and women in general ,although some of the filthy and hateful comments are by women Obama supporters. Obamatons are not doing Obama a favor as many women are turned off by Obama’s condescension in debate, “Hillary, you’re good enough”. Then there was Obama’s nastyAnnie Oakley remark that was oblivious that Annie only used rifles. We are still a Daddy country. For anyone to expect that sexism, and racist fears do notexist regarding many racial/ethnic groups is naive. To say that Obama and his supporters have not been sexist and hostile is untrue. Talking openly by anyone about the racist tendincies

Hillary’s supporters should stay home or vote for McCain if Obama doesn’t offer the vice-president position to her—they would be marching in the streets if she had come out on top and failed to offered him the position. And don’t make me laugh till I cry by telling me he wouldn’t accept it. Bill Clinton’s mistakes in his tireless efforts to stand by his woman have nothing to do with the so-called “race card”, but with his failure to observe the niceties of political correctness which so many of you on this website seem to feel is obsolete or, worse, evil. The Obamaists are not accused of playing the race card when they dismiss the West Virginia voters as prejudiced.

Grrrrrr to Cooney’s two cents.

This post assumes any discussion of Obama’s general election weakness is somehow connected to his skin color. I don’t think that’s fair. I, of course, can’t speculate on the decision behind each working class white’s vote, but I agree with Krugman’s assessment that “maybe [Obama’s] transformational campaign isn’t winning over working-class voters because transformation isn’t what they’re looking for.” (April 25, 2008). When you’re facing real economic problems, the trusted and familiar policy wonk probably looks more appealing than the “yes, we can” idealism of a relative new-comer. For these voters, I think the experience argument trumps change. And, let’s face it, Reagan democrats—immensely important in key swing states like PA & OH—have other reasons to be hesitant about Obama, like his “bitter” foible or, to focus more on substance, his more liberal positions on foreign policy. If one candidate DOES have a better chance in crucial swing states, I don’t see anything wrong with making sure super delegates know it. A key aspect of their job is picking the person who is most likely to win in November. Citing demographic trends is not synonymous with “race-baiting,” and I don’t think the author provides any evidence to back up this assumption. “However, given that she started out with a huge lead in the polls, it’s hard for me to believe that sexism played much of a role in her current situation.” Seriously?? When was the last time you heard a male candidate referred to as “shrill” after a debate performance?

Clinton takes Indiana by a ‘razor’ and Obama wins North Carolina by a huge margin. Nevertheless, Kentucky, Montana and West Virginia are still to come. The Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama If you haven’t done so yet, please write a message to each of your state’s superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com Obama Supporters: Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It’s that easy… Clinton Supporters too …. ! It takes a moment, but what’s a few minutes now worth to get Clinton in office?! Those are really worth ! Sending a note to current Clinton supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Obama supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Clinton, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Clinton.

Clinton has taken Kentucky and Obama is right there in Oregon.

No sexism in this race? Puhleeze! The DNC, MSM and Obama have been complicit in trying to get the only woman in this race to quit. That’s sexism to me!
