NA..SHE ISN''T ELECTABLE NOW. IF SHE WAS TO WIN, IT WOULD TOTALLY LOOKED STOLEN NOW THE WAY THE MEDIA HAS PROCLAIMED OBAMA FOR A MONTH. SHE WOULDN''T GET A SINGLE BLACK VOTE OR OBAMA VOTER FOR THAT MATTER BECAUSE THE ELECTION WOULD THEN HAVE BEEN STOLEN - Reply to this comment
- ---"One advantage to a wave of superdelegates moving to Obama early on Tuesday is that it would allow him to clinch the nomination with the pledged delegates awarded through voting in the evening as opposed to relying on the support of superdelegates, who are largely elected officials and party insiders. That would also allow Obama to deliver an unambiguous victory speech at St. Paul''''s Xcel Energy Center, where Republicans will hold their national convention in September."---
If the Supers want minimal slack for their endorsements, particularly those who are being pressured to commit rather than avoid the responsibility altogether, wouldn''''t the ideal time be right after polls close before the press projects Montana for Barack so that they''''re not Superdelegate number 2118? Better to have Hillary hate Montana than any one person, right?
Besides, if everybody''''s avoiding endorsements because there''''s personal consequences they want to avoid, doesn''''t that mean Barack''''s going to have a REALLY hard time reaching that number - ever - until late August? If Montana isn''''t number 2118, who else then is going to step up to the plate?

Also, you had Bill out there saying stupid things all the time waving his fingure and taking the attention away from her. Making her look BAD. All these things are why she lost. Not her gender and not her last name, Thats ALL SHE HAD was gender and Last name. If she didn''t have her gender and last name she would be a weak 2 term senator who held a weak intern like job at the white house for 8 years.
If you want to blame someone. BLAME THE LAME CAMPAIGN AND THE OVER RATED CANIDATE YOU CHOSE TO SUPPORT FOR IGNORANCE AND OVER CONFIDENCE. - Reply to this comment
- Obama is poised to win !@#$%. OBAMA WILL NEVER BEAT SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN IN NOVEMEBER.
Obama can''t change Chicago. He has his racist church and pastor for 20 years. The streets in Chicago are worse than ever with violent crime, shootings, killings, muggings, grugs, hookers, gangbangers. Obama are you really safer in Chicago now? Great job Obama, clean your own house before you try to clean and change america. Chicago has changed for the worse.
OBAMA WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE or BY MILLIONS OF OTHER DEMOCRATS.
TO THE SUPER-DELEGATES, YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO SAVE AMERICA AND SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT. - Reply to this comment

No other person could ever do this. The Treasure couldn''t say, Well I was Treasure during Clinton''s 8 years so I''m just like him. He would of been laughed at, but for some reason everyone just excepted this to be fact. Not to mention she got to say she was against everything bad bill did like NAFTA. Got to have it both ways.
Anyways, it was never sexism, it was front runner status gets the most attention and negative press, by the right and then also by the media.
Look who got the worst press the last two months.... OBAMA did because he became the front runner. So stop fitting your profile and acting like a bunch of girls and blaming sexism for everything. Blame the fact that she didn''t plan for caucus''s, she didn''t plan past super tuesday, she didn''t use internet for fund raising until is was to late Hillaryclinton.com She sounds like a sorry car sales man every time she says it - Reply to this comment
- All you Hillary supporters need to consider this. You say this election was stolen from you or their was sexism and thats why she lost, well your just flat wrong.
On the first point, she ran a hard good race but lost just barley. She lost in delegates and in Popular vote, so the Supers are following the will of the people. Remember that Delegates are how we chose are nominee, not popular vote. This system was created so that the canidates wouldn''t just campaign in the most populated states, they would have a reason to go to Iowa instead of just campaigning in New York and Cali.
Too the second point, Clinton is the one who had all the advantages. She started out with 200 super Delegates before she had even won a single vote. Why, because her last name was Clinton. She started out with a huge money lead, and didn''t lose it until the genius idea and new way to raise money using his small donor internet plan over took her establishment money.
She also got to run basically Bill''s third term. She claimed his 8 years of experience as hers

- I am extremely happy that Clinton has lost, and sincerely hope that Obama does not cave in to the pressure that will be brought to place her on the ticket.
This is our opportunity to change politics in America. Our system of government is fractured. It is completely unable to function in a reasonable manner - everything from nominating a candidate to the environment is split roughly down the middle - every issue is viewed 50/50 by our legislators because they have become party robots which creates tremendous stagnation. Just look at the gas crisis, congress has done nothing because they are stimied - they have done more for the polar bears than human beings so far in 2008.
I don''t know if Obama is really the answer - but at least it will create an opportunity for change - if Hillary or McCain were to become president that stagnation would just get worse. - Reply to this comment
- ---"but Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.) privately urged them to delay any announcement until the final votes have been counted, according to multiple Democratic sources"---
Sorry if I''m even more punchy in the morning than usual, but these undeclared Superdelegates have gotten on my last nerve . . . do they really think Hillary is EVER going to give them permission to vote for moving forward? The argument''s always to just give give her until June, then one more week, one more day, one more hour - they give her an inch and then she blasts them with arguments about why they still need to give her the Presidency.
Time is ticking . . . have the Supers ever stopped to think that maybe the faster she''s forced to deal with the reality she can''t quite face on her own, the more time she has to try and develop a working relationship and possible ticket with Barack and the better off we ALL are as a result?
Instead of indulging her questions of what''s the hurry, why not stop for a minute and listen to the rest of the party - we the voters - who are asking what''s the delay?!? It''s making our candidate look weak . . . grrr! - Reply to this comment
- the DNC does not know how to play by the rules, and that is the exmaple of how the DNC works. Anyone who thinks a Republican is dishonest hasn''t met a Democrat. Obama will lose the general election more than any other candidate in the past. America is not ready for a black president, there is still much to much racism yet to overcome.

It won''t be the pathetic, useless Generation X, children of the Reagan "greed is good" years. They''re fixated on seeing how much they can kissy up to the boss man, big supporters of the Darth Bushit Neocons.
I do have high hopes for Generation D however.
It''s like that in America--you get a creative, productive generation, then a useless whiny one.
The WW2 people--productive
The 50s repressed lost generation--useless
The boomers--productive
Gen X--useless
Gen D--productive
Strange, isn''t it? - Reply to this comment
- Whether or not Obama wins the nomination and goes on to be President, one thing is clear. The next generation will need to learn how to cope with and resolve the plethora of domestic and foreign issues that have become their legacy. There is no time like the present for them to get into the game. Much needs to be done and the baby boomer generation must pass the torch at some point.
