Shirley - Hello, fellow New Yorker! I am a boomer — and you can be sure we are not depending upon HRC or supporters she manipulates (as she did New Yorkers) to undermine Senator Obama — in favor of her friend, John McCain, who she has already validated and did not address AT ALL during today’s speech as a point of UNITY focus. :-)

The DNC doesn’t have the power to offer HRC the Governorship of New York — or any other State. New Yorkers would never tolerate HRC being imposed upon us any more than any other State would permit it. New York has a wonderful new Governor — who I know — and who salvaged us from yet another FLAWED pol - Eliot Spitzer - and did so while managing a HUGE budget process, the dignity of Silda Spitzer — and immediately prioritizing his INTENT to honor gay marriages performed in other States, against the will of many in the Legislature. We shut down HRC’s Campaign after Tuesday night — in record time, via the NY Delegation. You can be sure HRC will not ever become Governor of the most ethnically diverse State in the United States of America. No Tammany-Hall appointments for HRC — at the expense of New Yorkers — to satisfy Appalachians and women who want to reward her, but NOT in their backyards. I think NOT.

Hillary Clinton is STILL a sitting Senator from New York and accountable to New Yorkers for her conduct, decisions, votes and public speeches — going forward — as a Democrat during a General Election cycle. Let’s not confuse this pertinent fact w/”mindless” criticisms. Taking things personally and framing it thus is unworthy of a sitting Senator — and unacceptable for the Junior Senator from New York. We are not victims — right or left. We don’t have victims representing our interests. That is her REAL job. Validating a man who calls his wife a C…NT, publicaly in front of fellow Senators, is unacceptable and HRC should refrain from doing so in future. It is “mindless” to validate Hillary Clinton’s validation of such a man in lieu of a fellow Democratic Senator.

Senator Obama doesn’t LIVE in New York, and he hasn’t had planes flying overhead killing our citizens — and have its Senator voting to take funding/resources/attention AWAY from those responsible for a TRAGIC WAR based upon LIES. He is forgiven.

Mamacita - Love it!

Frank - I am glad you are back. Be well.

Deni G: NOBODY ever confused me with being a right-winged Conservative! And, my personal perspective is ANYTHING but the usual traditional media fare reflected by the Q&A (but badly) and daily television fare. My analysis is routinely challenged with pithy comments and other ill-informed responses, so I am being effective methinks! :-)

The woman with the biggest chip on her shoulder that we New Yorkers just knocked off after Tuesday night - is the ENTITLED HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON. More to come, Hillary. It’s almost 100 degrees in Manhattan today, which is nothing compared to what the temperature will be when you return after your vacation! Enjoy! We’ll wait — and continue working against your best friend, John McCain. I challenge him to come to NYC and call a woman …any woman let along HIS WIFE…from Wall Street to the poor living paycheck to paycheck up in the Bronx… C…UNT. Women who vote for John McCain should be BRANDED with that word on their foreheads…beginning with Hillary Clinton. I have never heard a man call a woman that privately or publicly — and I am over 50. This should be an automatic disqualification for the Presidency and votes from women. Selective reasoning based upon clear BIAS is afoot. So be it. Turn up the temperature — higher!

Ms. Huffington pays her bills…and doesn’t ask the poor to do so, while amassing a vast fortune over 7 years…or racking up debts small vendors are still waiting to be paid.

Jackie - I had to work on Charlie Rangel and local pols to run Hillary out of town — since Tuesday night! As you see, we were successfull in REAL TIME! John McCain - next!

The Clintons left The White House in defacto bankruptcy due to PERSONAL LEGAL BILLS due to copious scandals. HRC and Bill’s billion dollar haul — over 7 years — will be seriously scrutinized, and Bill’s “activities” will make Clarence Thomas look like a picnic. The Clintons took the chance this scrutiny was worth it = for the Presidency (and their net worth) and Americans’ desire to be rid of the mediocre Republican Administration and Congress would help the us stomach the overflow. The Clintons won’t want to endure this for VP or Supreme Court or Cabinet. HRC needs to remain in the Senate — until she runs AGAIN — triangulating Barack into a loss by leveraging women to vote AGAINST our interests to show solidarity with her. Women may fall for this, but New Yorkers won’t. Big question — WHAT ARE HILLARY AND BILL GOING TO DO ABOUT NEW YORKERS who will not tolerate their conduct and (as this week) rein them in??? New Yorkers are their biggest challenge because we are diverse and information consumers on steroids. It isn’t easy to dangle race-gender-baiting candy in front of us and we jump at it, leaving our interests behind. HRC didn’t begin these games until AFTER Super Tuesday. She KNEW she couldn’t before — New York voted.

Chateau - The Manhattan fat-cats want their investment to pay off! They have ponied up almost a BILLION DOLLARS (DEALS, the Clinton Library, the “Foundation” and HRC’s initial $100mil war chest) and hired Chelsea at a Hedge Fund — because they were told HRC was going to take the Clintons back into The White House — and the Lincoln Bedroom! Promises were made for this kind of money - over 7 years. These guys are no different than the Sopranos. This is Wall Street and BIG International MONEY from “friends in Dubai (port deal?) and Kasekstan (sp?). The desperation you saw/felt over the last three mos. was REAL. The Campaign for VP — including attempts to IMPOSE that on Barack last week — was REAL. These interests don’t like to lose. They are NOT used to losing. As with its reflection - the Bush DYNASTY - these DEALS are already done and waiting. Sweetheart deals in the pipeline depend upon mega INFLUENCE, and further commoditizing the interests of ordinary Americans. That is the Bush/Clinton DYNASTY. They wink at and support the DEALS and hubris of the other. Bill traveled w/George W.’s dad — while both did DEALS. Some of Bill’s DEALS should not have been permitted. The real big business in America is the Presidency, thanks to the Bush/Clinton DYNASTIES. Women, New Yorkers, etc. are being leveraged FOR DEALS…by the Clintons.

Marjorie - This is a simplistic view and interpretation of BOTH Rev. Wright’s few clips out of 40 years of community service to the poor — and a working knowledge of the history of the Ku-Klux-Klan, and its impact on America at-large and African-Americans, in particular. There is a big difference between DOMESTIC TERRORISTS and an evocative Rev. who fought FOR his Country. Again, New Yorkers, THIS is HRC’s base — circa 2008. Mayor Bloomberg, we NEED you to run for the Senate if you don’t become VP or Secretary of the Treasury!

Chateau — and, as you can see, Barack doesn’t waste precious time trying to change the minds of deeply entrenched interests who make decisions subjectively — aka Appalachia. He respects them, but doesn’t put himself/or Appalachians in a position whereby they have to go against their cultural norms and definitions of cultural integrity — which cannot accept an African-American as President. Instead, he focuses on expanding his own base and speaking to those — including Independents and Moderate Republicans — who are open to hearing him make his case. He is changing the established political landscape as a result. He is going AROUND the entrenched — and being well served in the process. So, we KNOW for every woman who makes the statement she will vote for a 3rd Bush Term in John McCain — w/addl. risks of his age, health and calling his wife C…NT publicly — what can Barack say to change their minds? HRC speaks for this constituency and is holding on to them. However, I do NOT believe the no. is “18 million” as HRC disengenously states. Were that so, her bills would be PAID IN FULL, even if she has lost. Instead, she ran the tab up higher — including today in DC — for Barack’s supporters to pay, since her “supportes” don’t/won’t/can’t.

Bill Clinton’s PARDONS were a firestorm when he left Office. He KNEW they would be. Still, some of The White House furniture has not been returned. Disgusting. Americans voted for a total mediocrity as a REACTION to Bill Clinton. That most assuredly affected Al Gore. We didn’t know Joe Lieberman or the DLC as well as we know them now. The Clintons are in alignment w/Joe Lieberman’s DLC-model. CT found out almost in time. NY is finding out now. Joe and Hillary will get our message next Election cycle.
