Comments on: Obama's Gloves Are Off - And May Stay Off

Washington Post: Democrat Built His Campaign On Being Different, But In Pennsylvania His Image Was Coarsened

pt 3
Next step''ll be to ask her how SHE is going to unify the party because THAT is the true issue, not who can get blue-collar workers. She won''t have a viable answer as to what makes her superior, so then the question can be asked about why she won''t cooperate with unifying the party.

She won''t help unify the party, she she''s praising the GOP candidate while calling the Dem front-runner unelectable, she''s making GOP arguments, she''s aligned with the GOP and the GOP are aligned with her, she''s dividing the party, she won''t respect Howard Dean''s rules, she thinks she deserves to have an extra state more than Barack (Michigan), she''s limiting the time the nominee will have to switch gears to the general - at what point do DEMOCRATIC superdelegates step up to the plate and say we''re not going to reward disloyalty with indulgence? This election is too important for them to not take action.

I think the party elders need to support Barack''s efforts to unify the party, and if Hillary doesn''t get in line they pile on the superdelegates, squeeze her out, and nominate a charmer like Kathleen Sebelius.

Authority and containment is the only way to reign in rogue elements - I would have thought we''d learned that lesson after 8 years of Bush! :o

Does anybody remember the "OLD MATH" This is a media critical comment. The official results from the Pennsylvania primary was Clinton 54.3%, Obama 45.7% which the media calls 55-45 to give the illusion of a double digit, 10-point victory. Truth is the difference between 54.3 and 45.7 is actually 8.6, which you can''t call double digits. Once again, the media buys into the notion that we, the people are too stupid to do anything but accept whatever they report as gospel. Its pathetic.

Clinton thoroughly STOMPED Obama in PA. The Dems are finally catching on to the fact that Hussein Obama needs a pickup truck to carry all the baggage he has.

Undemocratic way?? I would say that Clinotn does have more votes in the nomination process tahn obama has. So I guess you would consider that undemocratic?

[shawnp1968]

Hillary is going to have to be held responsible as the individual who brought the democratic party to it''s knees! If she was "really" about uniting the party, she would have dropped out of the race a month ago. She is so far behind in delegates that she can''t win that race. The only way for her to win the nomination is for the super delegates to go against the grain and against the voice of the voters. That just doesn''t sound like a healthy plan to me! Hillary needs to accept the fact that her road to the white house is going to have to go thru an invitation from President Obama!

[DCropp]

Irony: a Democratic candidate trying to win the race in an un-Democratic way.

As we move closer to June, the media will focus on Hillary wanting super delegates to save the day for her.

Here''s an ad that would catch everyone''s attention. Several people dressed in Superman outfits (replace the S with the Democratic party logo). Have them fly in and declare Democracy failed, so they give the nomination to Hillary.

If Hillary gets the nomination, the Republicans will use this idea. It will be the ad that is remembered for generations.

''they have no arguments to convince me that McCain is any worse than the current bunch of do-nothing Democrats.''

Conservatives, like me, know that you speak the truth. McCain''s position as the nominee in this race is a GREAT disappointment to us.

Barry Ubama is an empty vessel.....aside from graduating from college, he has accomplished nothing. He pays homage to terrorists and seeks their support. He attends a bigoted ''church''. He feels pity for people who ''cling'' to guns and God as a way to cope with hard times.

In a general election race against the Great Pumpkin, he would lose.

The whinning has started not just the Obamanites
But MSNBC FOX and CNN has joined in too

Well said!

If Clinton is "captive to the oil, pharmaceutical and insurance lobbies" then why doesn''t her campaign have more money. Obama is one of those do as I say not as I do wussies. He can''t win the big states so the days of Yes We Can are now replaced with We Can''t So We Sling like the rest of them. Yet another superdelegate, Casey, that went with the loser. Just like Kennedy, Kerry and Richardson. Wake up America and see Obama for what he is, loser. He knows he needs to convince voters like me to switch sides, but I have news for him I''m voting McCain unless Clinton is the nominee. You see, old white folks would rather cut off their nose to spite their face. Since Pelosi and gang did NOTHING with the mandate we gave them, they have no arguments to convince me that McCain is any worse than the current bunch of do-nothing Democrats. And as far as Obama thinking he can be the uniter of Congress, show me ONE time he convinced a Republican to SWITCH their vote for any MEANINGFUL legislation. This core Democrat is indeed bitter.
