Katie Couric Speaks With Seven Clinton Supporters About The Campaign

[why_not_nar]

How interesing....to see Katie Couric complain about sexism.

No question people buy products from people that they like. Like turns into trust.
The same applies to TV anchors. We liked Cronkite.
Rather%u2026not so much.

Couric probably has the highest dislike quotient of anyone who has ever been a television anchor. She also has the lowest ratings.
Why?
Anyone who watched her interview with Mr. Edwards and his wife know why.
Lack of decency and consideration. Her doctored photos, reporters notebooks which she didn%u2019t write, and her attributing her rating poor ratings to viewers %u201Cwho weren%u2019t ready for change%u201D.
She made not one, but a series of blunders that leave you the impression that she is plain old %u201Cnasty%u201D.
Her %u201Coff the air%u201D impressions of Dan Rather remove any doubt.

Unfortunately, she has also played the %u201Csex%u201D card%u2026.where in fact her failure as Shakespeare said is not in her stars but in herself.

To break %u201Cbarriers%u201D required a special person, a special kind of courage. Jackie Robinson had it. Humility, class, and integrity.

Tell you who a wonderful replacement would be, although I also think Cooper would be a big step forward.

Diane Sawyer.

Did you catch her show about Professor Randy Pausch?

Diane is a class act.

I would love to see her CBS come back with a competent women, and break that barrier once and for all.

Black Militan,
You are so hateful. And your arguments against Hillary are based on alleged acts of her husband? What about the alleged acts of Barack Obama? See Larry Sinclair on youtube. You make me even more determined to vote for McCain.

[mrsscott3]

To all you idiots advocating a write-in vote for Hillary. Your vote won''t count...STUPID! Either vote for McCain or another candidate or you can just stay home.

Jeez. No wonder Hillary touts that she won over the uneducated. You guys are just plain dumb.

[moodmusic2u]

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS NOT RIGHT AND HONEST. EVERY INDIV. VOTE SHOULD COUNT, ONLY! NO DELEGATES AND SUPERDELEGATES...MEDIA....YOU CAN BUY THEM AND THAT IS VERY WRONG. AND I AM SURE OBAMA PEOPLE DID JUST THAT. IT''S NOT IMPORTANT, WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU BELIEVE, IF YOU HATE AMERICA, OR YOUR WIFE DOES, MONEY TALKS, RIGHT? ....IT IS SO UNFAIR. SYSTEM IS JUST LIKE SOMEWHERE IN THE COMMUNIST COUNTRY....WE VOTERS ARE "NOTHING" WE DON''T COUNT.
GO INDEPENDENT HILLARY! OR VOTE GOES TO MCCAIN

[anappleadae]

The reason Obama keeps going to Jewish groups trying to convince them he will protect Israel, is partly political and partly he is trying to win them over. On the first count if he can''t win them over he can always say he tried. On the second he is trying because he can''t get the support of Jews over 28%. The reason he is having trouble winning them over is because Jews look to a Candidate''s track record revealing their support for Jews. Obama has none. Jews have listened to talk about being supportive of them for millenia. They have experienced the disaster of taking influential politicians at their word. Never Again. Jews are interested only in what Candidates have done in support of Jewry not all the fine rhetoric. Our survival depends on vigilance.

[moodmusic2u]

HILLARY WON, BIG TIME AND HER OWN PARTY IS JUST LIKE "JUDAS", THEY PUSHED THAT MUSLIM IN NO MATTER WHAT HE IS, SO HE REALLY CAN DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. HE IS A TERRORIST, LIAR, RACIST AND MARXIST. (I AM JUST A TYPICAL WHITE WOMAN) GOOD BYE AMERICAN FREEDOM. BUSH DID DESTROY US AND THIS BUSTARD WILL FINISH THE JOB.
SO, IF HILLARY WILL NOT RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT, MCCAIN HAS MY VOTE. I WOULD NEVER EVER VOTE FOR HUSSAIN OBAMA. SHAME ON OUR PATRY, SHAME ON THE MEDIA!
GOD BLESS HILLARY!

[anappleadae]

I suggest registering as an independent, or writing her name in for all those Hillary supporters who cannot bring themselves to vote for Obama.

Hillary has a very powerful option. She could end her membership with the Democrats and register as a Independent as did Joe Leiberman during the last Election. Influential Democrats and largely Obama followers have made no secret they dislike her for reasons purely personal. Politics is not personal; It''s business. Should she run as a Independent she would leave both Obama and McCain in the dust. If she stays with the Dems there can be no argument that her decision was selfless.

An Independent

[fuzkida]

Let''s get real, folks!
Any so-called Hillary supporter who votes for McCain is not a true progressive. NO progressive wuold be that spiteful as to screw up the country for another 4 years just bc. they are sore losers.
True progressives (those who realize the need for compassionate change in this country - univesal health-care, middle class tax relief, educational assistance for the less fortunate, favoring the environment over corporations etc) will NOT CONSIDER voting for McSame.
So those of you who are advocating voting for McCain. bc. your candidate lost - despite the reckless way she selfishly tried to destroy Obama - are not true progressives or are Republicans in disguise.
The funny thing is that - despite my distaste for the
self-serving way HIllary has run her campaign, I would NEVER vote for McCain over her bc. the differences between Obama and Hillary are minute compared to the policy differences with McCain.

And get this through your minds:
HILLARY DID NOT LOSE BC. OF SEXISM. (if that were true, Edwards, Dodd, Richardson, Biden etc would have got more votes than her!)
HILLARY LOST BC. OBAMA WAS A BETTER CANDIDATE.
The people who claim that Hillary lost bc. of sexism are betraying the fact that they only voted for her bc. she is a woman. HOw ironic that you accuse others of what you yourselves are guilty of.

SEXISM IS IN HILLARY MARRIAGE!

A 1969 charge by a Eileen Wellstone, 19-year-old English woman who said Clinton assaulted her.

In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton.

In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then-law professor Bill Clinton groped her and forced his hand inside her blouse.

Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton''s attorney general campaign, said he raped her in 1978;

From 1978-1980, during Clinton''s first term as governor of Arkansas, state troopers assigned to protect the governor reported seven complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself on them sexually.

Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have *** with him shortly after she won her state crown.

Paula Corbin, an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room.

Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress.

Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993.

APECHAR LET ME SHOW YOU SEXISM

THIS IS SEXISM AND IF YOU DONT KNO WHAT REAL SEXISM IS SPEND SOME TIME ALONE WITH SLICK WILLY.

[blackmilitan]

I HAVE MET 50 WHITE PEPLE WHO VOTED FOR BUSH AND HATE THEMSELVES FOR DOING IT.
AND I WILL MEET A 100 WHITE PEOPLE WHOI VOTED FOR MCCAIN AND WILL HATE THEMSELVES YEAR LATER.
VOTING FOR BUSH WAS A PORO MISTAKE AND VOTING FOR MCCAIN WOULD BE THE SAME MISTAKE REPEATED

OBAMA IS RIGHT - SENDING THE SAME PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER IS INSANE. AT SOME POINT, FOLKS WILL HAVE TO MOVE BEYOND THEIR FEARS AND TRADITIONAL IDEA''S OF WHAT A PRESIDENT SHOULD BE. AND VOTE SENSIBLE

BECAUSE I CAN NOT FIND NOW ONE PROUD OF THEIR VOTE FOR BUSH.

[blackmilitan]

HILLARY DO NOT OWN VOTERS. THIS IS A DUMB QUESTION. HILLARY DOES NOT OWN ONE OTHER PERSON THEN HERSELF, SHE CANT DICTATE WHAT FOLKS WILL DO AT ALL. SHE NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT NO ONE RESPECTS A WOMEN WHO ALLOWS HER HUSBAND TO CONSTANTLY CHEAT OVER AND OVER AND OVER. THAT IS POOR JUDGEMENT.

[apechar]

I will be voting for McCain. I have never voted for a Republican for president in my life. However, I am voting in protest style over substance, in protest of sexism (which has been around since the beginning of time, not just since some idiots thought it was okay to go to Africa and and enslave people of color 400 years ago), in protest of the media''s biased coverage in favor of Obama, in protest of the DNC who thinks women will just fall in line. This time we won''t.

[buckscc]

Congratulations Obama,

Hillary still wants the presidency and she will not stop until she gets it.
She may concede that you think you won, but she will sill be plotting behind your back.

The next thing she is going to do is cry and try to get everybody to feel sorry for her, the Poor Female.

For God sake, don%u2019t even think about feeling sorry for the POOR Female and giving her the VP decision.
You know the Press, when it comes time for you to make a decision, immediately after you make your decision, the Press will ask Hillary what she would do?
Hillary will try to get all the attention and press every time she can. Why, because 2012. You know Hillary will not shut up and neither will Bill. Hillary will undermined you every chance she will get. If you are wrong and she is right just once, watch out, she will never let the press forget it.

If you give Poor heart broken Hillary the VP, you will be living in the White House, but who will be in charge of the country? I know it won%u2019t be you.

Afro-Americans have come along way. Your success as president will reflect on every Afro-American in the United States. Your failure as president will also reflect on every Afro-American in the United States. Please don%u2019t give Hillary and Bill the ability to control and hinder your success.

Now, if you want a female as a VP, think Opra.

Congratulations Obama,

[hattie08]

If you always do, what you always did - you''ll always get, what you always got. Good luck to you!

The Obamans'''' attitude is intolerable, just read their posts, I feel no kinship with them whatsoever. They''''ve bashed Hillary worse than Rush Limbaugh ever could. To them anyone who''''s not with them is a racist, which is insulting and untrue.
Posted by superdem at 09:25 AM : Jun 04, 2008

You think the posts on these blogs are direct from the Obama campaign??? Most of the traffic on her are from people that are bored and have nothing better to do than rabble rouse.
If you truly are a democrat you can see that the time has come for uniting the party - continuing to campaign after the nomination is lost in no way supports that effort. If you did agree with what Hillary said and wanted to do wouldn''t it make sense to embrace Obama and still get 85-90% of that effort. Does voting Republican in hopes a electing someone that would provide 0-15% of what Hillary wanted to accomplish really sound like a reasonable response???
Emotions are still very raw, I get that - but what Hillary doesn''t get is that using that for personal gain is improper and dangerous to the party.

[superdem]

craigh9 - there''s something wrong with you. I''m not a "Hillary Hugger" - but I was forced into the Hillary camp by the outrageous treatment she received, coupled with the deranged logic of the Obama supporters, who somehow think they can work with Independents and Republicans, a doomed plan since neither supports Democratic ideals or programs. All the charges of racism sealed the deal for me, so now I feel completely alienated from the Democratic Party, which I''ve voted for consistently for over thirty years. Every time I''ve ever heard Hillary speak I''ve agreed with her - except for the concept of some nuclear umbrella over the Middle East, that one I admit took my breath away - but I''ve never heard any of the outrageous things people say about her, so it''s all just hateful lies. Now it''s time to see if there is any maturity at all in the Obama camp - if they turn a proven vote getter like Hillary away, if they fail to unite the Party and choose some loser VP just to preserve this notion of "change" then they are too stupid for me to support, even if they are against the War in Iraq. The War is a huge issue, so is the Supreme Court, so walking away is terrible to ponder, but I''m this close. The Obamans'' attitude is intolerable, just read their posts, I feel no kinship with them whatsoever. They''ve bashed Hillary worse than Rush Limbaugh ever could. To them anyone who''s not with them is a racist, which is insulting and untrue.
