Sources with direct knowledge of the conversation between Sen. Clinton and Gov. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., prior to the Governor''''s endorsement of Obama say she told him flatly, "He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win."

Don''t you see, Bill - It''s not fair, I''m the Queen Bee & It''s suppose to be all about me. I''m just warming up. Show me more of your money. I''m in it to win it. I flatly dare you to support him. I don''t get mad I get even. Just so you know The feminists are all behind me and we will stop at nothing to further divide the Democratic Party just to keep Obama from winning the presidential election. So Sad, but what did we expect.

Richardson, who served in President Clinton''s cabinet, disagreed.

She should stay in because she is the better candidate and the only democrat who will get my independent vote.

Hillary can no longer deny she is trying to poison the well. Shame on the Clintons for their treachery to both the Democratic Party and the American people.

Instead of being poised to take the lead, Obama should be trying to EARN the lead in popular votes.

Somebody who name calls another ''''low class'''' is trying to hint that he is ''high class'' Obama comes off as a whiner. I do so hope we don''t let a whiner be our President. Whiners aren''t trying to help others. They are trying to get attention.

Smirk5: Get your facts straight:

Obama touts Senator Clinton''s vote with respect to Iraq as a fatal flaw. However, we must remember Colin Powell at the United Nations with his visual aids showing all the world where Iraq had its warheads. Mr. Powell convinced me that Senator Clinton was thinking about the safety of America when she voted for the war. Her state was among those that had been attacked on 9/11. I would have voted the same way, based on the evidence. What if there had really been weapons of mass destruction?

Plus, Senator Obama has voted twice to continue funding the war. He cannot play both sides of the fence at the same time.

When every voter''s vote is counted, Senator Clinton has the most votes. She should be the nominee! Regardless of what officials did in Florida and Michigan, the voters have done nothing wrong and their votes deserve to be counted.

Too bad that the sexist media forced Hillary to vote for the Bush Iraq Occupation. Otherwise, she might have had a chance this year.

Bush has set the bar too low- you cannot wipe out an entire party becasue of a bad situation or you would have done that to every Democrat as well. Flip flopping to suit your purpose is as bad as a herd of sheep- Jobs need to be fixed and completed in Iraq- and we are not leaving there any time soon- A Democrat will not allow it at the expense of the safety of the country just to appease his or her ego.They promise you the moon and cannot deliver on anything- that to me is the biggest scam of all. Socialized health care is a disaster. Just look at countries that have it. Democrats want that just to make you feel like you are getting something for nothing. Nothing is free. They will raise your taxes and they also will not be able to lower the oil prices just because they say so. They are inept and the two Dems running are the least qualified. Shame on all for falling for the scam.

Exit polls show that a vast majority of her KY supporters will not accept Obama''s nomination and would rather vote for McCain. If you drink from the posionous well, you will be poisoned. Hillary has shown herself to be the most divisive and poisonous politician around, helped by Bill. Can we expect anything different from those who follow her? History will show that she would be remembered as the destructor of the party and any hopes that Bill had of cementing his "legacy" has gone up in flames. GW will be remembered for all the bad things that have happened this decade, but it will be equally remembered for this political couple who "burned" their own home.

Poor hIllary, she is whining about sexism while denying that it is racism that is an issue in Obama''s campaign. So what she is saying is that we should care more about womens issues than racial issues? Personally, I think she is an arrogant priveledged white woman who wants black people, and poor people and males to drop what they are doing turn their backs on issues that uplift them and knock ourselves out so priveledge arrogant white women like her can have what they want now...power.

It''s time to stop hating Clinton and start feeling sorry for her. She''s desperate. She''s lost this race, she knows she''s lost it, and she can''t back out of her commitment to stay in the race until the bitter end. She may destroy the Democratic Party and she may assure McCain''s election in November, but none of that matters as much as what SHE wants. It''s too bad, too, because she COULD have been such an asset to the Obama White House team.

Absolutely!! Agree with everything you say. The media insists that women and less-educated people are her strongest supporters. Of course she also has educated women in her group. But amongst our groups, we have all of the above and none are supporting her. What gives? How can any reasonable person not see the light? Are they all bitter women who feel that they have been disadvantaged because of some male? As women, we will never support someone who has dragged women BACK another fifty years. Perhaps she is smarter than us and sees the writing on the wall, that she can never again run for the presidency and thus destroy it now for the democrats. How anyone will continue to support her is beyond belief. I hope New Yorkers are beginning to, or have seen the light to the next senatorial race in NY some years down the road. Meanwhile, republicans in NY are joyful for they know that they have a real shot at this particular senate seat down the road, unless she insists on the VP slot, which will be to the detriment of Obama''s candidacy.

Hillary and her support groups are up to her same disingenuous lies again. If she really does represent women (the 51% women''s vote she is claiming), then how come she is losing all vote tallies for a Democratic primary in which 60% of those voting were women? As usual, Hillary''s math just does not add up, kind of like Bush''s "fuzzy math."

The audacity of these women. Hillary voters deserve a voice, but the more numerous voters for Obama deserve to have their voice s quelled? Are all women so illogical or is it just the rabid Hillary supporters? It is kind of like their disingenuous cry to have all the votes counted, including Michigan and Florida which were obviously not valid elections and skewed unfairly to Hillary''s advantage. Please, such blatant ignorance is more appropriate in the Republican party, and so if some Hillary voters cross over to Republican it would be actually clean things up a bit.

I can think of NO candidate in the last 40 years who did as much as Hillary Clinton to divide the party he or she was in at the time!

If Mr. Obama fails in the general election, it can fairly be laid at her feet!

And, she can forget any chance of being the nominee in 2012! Because after four more years of GOP misrule---attributed to her---she''ll be apostate and more hated than she can begin to imagine!

For those of us following the Rezko trial and its implications for Obama, it seems to be shaping up that Obama will be charged--along with Blagojevich--under the mail fraud honest services statute, 18 USC 1346. This will probably happen very soon, since the jury--given the extended nature of its deliberations--is going to convict Rezko on at least some of the 24 counts. It is also highly likely that both Blagojevich and Obama will face a very large number of counts in their indictments.

Evelyn Pringle has been doing a series of articles on Obama and his relationship to Rezko. They are very detailed, and will serve as good background to the upcoming indictment of Obama and Blagojevich. The detail--particularly with respect to the board legislation--will allow you to see where 18 USC 1346 is likely to figure.

The whole series is linked at Scoop:
