Obama hasn''t won the support yet. Why should Hillary Clinton get out of the race?
Actually, Hillary, as opposed to Obama has conducted herself completely by the DNC rules because she knew them. On the other hand, Mr. Obama did not
Hillary may have embellished, but she doesn''t flip flop on her stances. She posted her stances months ago and stands by them, whereas Obama didn''t post anything until December.
Obama lies about really dangerous issues, and lies about his abilities, and about his corrupt connections.
No Obama! - Reply to this comment
- Hillary is such a roller coaster ride that you never know what she is going to say or do the next day. I truly hope this is not the way the US government is run the next four days. Her stance on issues change daily, her decisions are based on her swing moods and depend upon what she thinks will work for the media. Up and down, yes and no, lie to make it right. This tells me four things:
1. She can not commit to policies. She could change her mind at a whim and will.
2. She is impulsive. Not a good trait for a 3am phone call.
3. She lies, for the good of her own self interests to get elected.
4. She is a rule changer. If it benefits her delegate count why live with the DNC''s authority and regulations. This last one will distroy the party and it might be the Rep. or/and DNC''s fault but this does not help unify the Democrats. Perplexing why she is still in the race and whay self interest she really has to back in the Whitehouse. Maybe it is all for Bill, this would not be so selfish and he can smoke his last cigar. - Reply to this comment

Obama lied about his legislative prowess. He was a total failure in the Illinois senate for 7 years. Never got one spit of legislation passed until it was handed to him in his 8th year. - Reply to this comment
- Should PLEDGED delegates be under pressure from either candidate to change their vote? Does this represent a democracy?

I don''t know why not. Everybody is trying to pressure Hillary into conceding Obama votes in Michigan he didn''t even win! - Reply to this comment
- And I say the reason Hillary did that was because North Dakota was one of the earliest states to vote, and had not heard a lot of things about Obama that came out until after they voted.
The media was manipulating the vote by holding back on Obama until after most of the states held their primaries.
Lots of people didn''t know what a quack he was. - Reply to this comment
- And that''s why Obama supporters are pushing HIllary to come to an agreement rather than take it to convention.
The DNC rules committee has put off ruling on his breaking the rules, yet they know when push comes to shove they will have to. - Reply to this comment

Mainly because Obama broke DNC rules in both Florida and Michigan. So if it came down to a shoot out, that will be fought within the DNC and he may not be able to be awarded any delegates from those states. That''s why he''s ambivalent about re-votes. And that''s why he wants HIllary to concede him 50% of the delegates from Michigan. He wants it to come to an agreement without a shoot out. - Reply to this comment

No problem at all, Sir, anytime. - Reply to this comment
- If the party refuses to honor the voters wishes in Mich and Fla Obama loses. The perception will be ,amongst Clinton voters anyway is that Obama stole the election(ala Bush 2000) and will not support him ,ever.
WHY is Obama afraid to let Fl and Mich votes count? He preaches (although not lately) that he wants everybody to be included. Okay, were waiting for your answer. - Reply to this comment
