- The Hillary campaign should have done their election work prior to all these hangups for her. Her campaign strategy is shredded. Now this. Texas'' districts that are appropriating fewer delegates to her stronghold only suggest that her posse was sitting on the fence too long. To voters, this looks like how she approached the intelligence to the Iraq war. Being a graduate of Stanford and a successful attorney, Hillary has lost all wisdom to lead America by allowing these uncharacteristic mishaps. But then again, what has she really done that has benefited the working and middle classes of the United States? What has she really done? Answer: Iraq-Period.

Hillary was way ahead before. Obama may have the momentum now but it can also stop at anytime. - Reply to this comment

I too saw him not long ago on something and he said that he was not endorsing anyone yet. - Reply to this comment
- "I care about a fair vote but I didn''''t see HRC objecting to the FL, MI and now TX voting until it either has impacted her or may impact her adversely." posted by squidly8
Well I don''t understand your thinking. If Hillary is trying to become president so she can help the people and make a better America, wouldn''t it stand to reason that she would be upset if she found out that the corrupt voting system in Texas was going to "impact her adversely"? That means that it could stop her from her goal of trying to put America back on track after being run by a dictator.
It should come down to RIGHT or WRONG, NOT whether you like Obama or whoever over Hillary. - Reply to this comment
- Obama is facing the same "convoluted" rules, so it''s fair all the way around.

- The Clintons are desperate and grasping at anything but sound utterly ridiculous and jouvenile. Neither candidate has experiance, one talks out of both sides of her A-- and the other needs others to tell him what to say. Pitiful display. MCCain is it- he is vested, experianced, & qualified. Period.

- Anyone see a pattern here? Clinton complains all the time about the rules- WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN HER FAVOR.
1) Clinton thinks Caucuses are great and an historical part of primary elections - until Clinton starts losing them. Then they are "unfair" boo-hoo.
2) Clinton loves Texas, unless the rules that have been in place for decades cannot assure her a win. Then they are "unfair. Boo-hoo.
3) Clinton is ahead and debates are unfair. Boo-hoo.
4) Clinton then wants more debates when she is BEHIND. Boo-hoo.
5) Agreed to not seating Michigan delegates, then put her name on the ballot. Others followed the rules and did NOT have their names on the ballot. After the voting she says "look at all the votres I got", and proceeds to ignore the rules she herself agreed to.
6) Agreed to not seating Florida delegates, until she won an uncontested election- purely because of NAME RECOGNITION.
She''s become a whiny little b*tch.
VOTE FOR CLINTON! We need another 4 to 8 years of this kind of distasteful win-at-any-costs politics. - Reply to this comment
- Screw the vets. If these people had a brain of their own they would have gone to school. Who cares about the "unique perspective" of someone that lives in a closed society that brainwashes their idiots in boot camp.
I also don''t give a rats azz about what Charlie Manson thinks. - Reply to this comment
- If Hillary had the momentum and could keep Bill from undercutting her in every speech, the rules would not be a "problem".
Her problem is simple - Obama has the momentum and is moving ahead. Such a novel concept - the popular and appealing candidate gets the votes.
In Dec 2007, Hillary was quoted as having the nomination "Wrapped up" by the February Super Tuesday vote. Was that her only campaign plan?

- The day that an ''obaman'' learns 1) how to speak, and 2) how to properly ''use'' the English language gramatically....I''ll maybe consider voting for Obama. Seriously, Obama supporters come across as absolute idiots.
