Ahem. Senator, do you have any idea how sick Americans get of campaign season? I'm willing to bet at least half the people who see your ad say right back at the TV: "I wish to hell it was over too!"

Regardless of who they are voting for.

Let's be clear: she's not just saying that Obama's supporters want to "prevent them from being able to vote", she's saying that Obama himself is wanting this.

I.e., she's lying.

Every time I think she has finally hit rock bottom, she gets out the jackhammer and goes even lower.

She apparently thinks that lying and whining about unfair treatment is how you win elections.

She really is the most uninspiring candidate I've ever seen (and that includes Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis). I hope that the fact that she will mobilize 0 people who don't already support her is factoring into the superdelegates' decision on whom to support at the convention.

How could anyone say that Obama wants the race to end? How could anyone believe such a thing? Obviously he wants the race to continue as long as it possibly can so that everyone has a chance to be represented, even if that means his narrow lead over Clinton might diminish and open the possibility of superdelegates siding with Hillary. That's because Mr. Obama is not a politician. He's not in this to win. He's in it for to fight for what is right. He believes only in fair play and goodness and hope for all. He will continue to urge Mrs. Clinton to fight on, because he is a totally fair and selfless man. And then there will be world peace and prosperity for all, and the birds will sing, and the lion will lie down with the lamb....

And:

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the superdelegates who may ultimately decide the Democratic party's presidential nominee have a right to vote as they wish."

Obama made a huge mistake and she is making him pay for it.

Deal with it trolls.

Couldn't it also "suggest" that they're a desperate campaign that's willing to say anything to buy themselves more time?

And this will sway undecided voters how?

Calling attention to the fact that many prominent Democrats want her to concede in an effort to unite the party and win in November helps her how?

Reminding people that she is far behind in the pledged delegate count helps her how?

Lying about what Obama has publicly said helps her how?

Having no money and losing superdelegate support helps her how?

Remember that Huckabee railed against the Republican power brokers who asked him to leave the race, as well. And I don't remember more people voting for him because of it.

Obama needs to denounce AND reject this assertion on Clintons part. He further needs to state that he not only wants all votes in all states to count. But that he has had a 50 state strategy from the beginning and that he has not cherry picked states to campaign in. That he planned from the start to go all the way to the convention and he is glad to see that Hillary Clinton has now decided to join him in this 50 state campaign unlike her statement in Dec 07 that the race would be over on Super Tuesday as she told Stephanopoulous.

Ahhhh, you can smell the desperation.

When the polls are tightening and the lies are exposed, what do Clintons do?

Lie some more, what else could we expect?

Does this mean every primary that hasn't lasted until the convention has been an act of mass disenfranchisement?

But ending it on February 5th would have been o.k., right???

another day, another straw to grasp.

You know, I heard Bill make a similar statement in Kentucky a week ago. This seems like the dumbest straw man argument yet. No one is trying to shut down voting, whether she is an active candidate or not.

And I don't think this makes her look like the "feisty underdog," it makes her look sad, desperate and dishonest. All it will take is a quick Youtube video of Hillary and Bill making these statements interspersed with clips of Obama, Pelosi and others saying she should continue campaigning.

but then,

since Obama hasn't actually said that

doesn't that make Clinton even more of a liar?

Why yes it does.

and strabo's link deserves to be reposted.

"Obama had greater role on liberal survey";

"During his first run for elected office, Barack Obama played a greater role than his aides now acknowledge in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion — positions that appear at odds with the more moderate image he has projected during his presidential campaign.

The evidence comes from an amended version of an Illinois voter group’s detailed questionnaire, filed under his name during his 1996 bid for a state Senate seat."

Told you he is a fraud trolls.

In Clintonian I believe this is called misspeaking.

Will any undecided voter fall for this? It seems you would have to already be pretty anti-Obama to actually believe he doesn't want everyone to vote (note she actually says he wants to "prevent" them voting, as if he doesn't want there to be an election at all). Even Clinton supporters (TPM trolls notwithstanding) aren't anti-Obama for the most part, so if anything this may peel off some of her soft support. Repeatedly saying he doesn't want "you" to vote sounds obviously pandering as well, so that may be a turnoff as well. The campaign really is completely tone-deaf -- sometimes doing whatever it takes to win doesn't actually help you win, it just makes people think you will do whatever it takes to win.

I said to a conservative colleage at work the other day: "Friend, we should cherish this moment. When else will we both be able to say that we hate Hillary Clinton equally?"

At some point, Obama trolls will admit he is a lying fraud:

The gop will do it for you trolls.

Clinton is a "vile," "lying," "desperate," "slimy," "dishonest" "monster"? Might I remind you that we are speaking of a fellow democrat here. I am just as eager to see Obama win as any of my Obama-supporter fellows here, but I would submit to you that this sort of talk is not helpful. We have as much as won folks. Now is the time to be gracious in victory. Clinton's supporters on this board cannot give her a victory in the primaries (and even if they could, we could not stop them with epithets) but they can still abandon the party and cede a victory to McCain (who is the real enemy in this election). We need to be working to reconcile them to our candidate, not alienating them further by gratuitous disparagements of a candidate whom they love and admire.

That said, I do have to question the effectiveness of the approach that Sen Clinton is taking here. I daresay that if the voters of PA, NC, OR, KY, WV, SD & MT were really critically concerned about having a say, they would have urged their states to move up to Feb 5. I am not arguing that they ought not to have their say. I am simply pointing out that it is hard to believe that they are really particular exercised by the idea of voting in a non-competitive race. I suppose that we will see how this works, but I am not especially worried at this point.

Holy punchcards! Obama is once agian using his super election-stopping power! The fiend!

Little is known about this power, but many believe he acquired it after cutting himself on a sharp corner of a radioactive voting booth during the Illinois primary. Since that time, by use of this dark and mysterious power, he has prevented the Florida and Michigan Democratic parties from submitting valid delegate selection plans to the DNC and has even stopped the Michigan and Florida legislatures from passing laws!

Now, encouraged by these successes, this evil mastermind is turning the full force of this super power onto the remaining primaries! Polling places will mysteriously vanish! Laws will disappear from the statute books! Little old ladies who've served as precinct captains for decades will suddenly develop an overpowering urge to blow the whole thing off and hit the bingo parlor!

Who, oh who, will save us from this supernatural wave of disenfranchisement?

She is a lying piece of cow poo.
