Well gee I'm surprised, since they haven't run that kind of campaign yet.

But now it's out there. So the question is whether the media will be fair and balanced and ask these questions of Hillary.

Thank goodness! I just posted on my fears about this. Hopefully, the media raising the question will be enough to remind voters of all the dirt the Republicans have to sling against her should she make it to the gen.

Thanks for the update--hopefully Obama's campaign stays true to its word.

"We're not gonna do that," Plouffe said.

There are very strong rumors that Hillary is going to appoint Bill as permanent representative for peace on the international space station. A brilliant move like this will obviously sway many of the super-delegates to her side.

They're also unlikely to distribute doctored photos of her kneecapping Nancy Kerrigan. I'm not sure why either revelation is newsworthy, though.

What a fighter that Hillary is! Her tremendous fighting campaign succeeded in halving her margin of victory compared to the pre-campaign polls, and in losing significant ground compared to Ohio in all her core demographics. "Twas a famous victory, indeed!

Win the remaining contests by 71%. Beat him in NC. Cut into his base. Why is Hillary losing African Americans by such a startling number? She clearly has a problem there, and if she wants the super delegates to believe she can win in November, she's going to have to start winning more than 10% of the African American vote.

Again -- stop whining, stop asking Dean to change the rules so you can win, just beat him by the terms you agreed to at the beginning of the contest. Close the deal.

The NC GOP are running a sleaze-o ad against Obama.

Gee, could it be that they want Clinton as the GE nominee, so they can more easily crush her?

Would be interesting to hear the Clinton supporters' analysis of why Clinton is not receiving these kinds of ads...

Another donation of 25 today, and i will give another 25 next week...

He got another endorsement today for the governor of Oklahoma and the got the endorsement of 26 lawnmakers in NC yessterday, and another endorsement of a SD from Ohio on Monday...

The delusional Clinton is now telling the world she has won more votes...and that she should get the nomination...She has really no decency, and does not care about the rules of the party...
This is so sad...
Let's hope the SDs will end this ASAP...

i new and believed that hillary would win Pennsylvania......... Go Hillary.

I am so looking forward to the guam caucus, indiana & north carolina contestes that are coming up.....

I wonder what the national polls will show in the next few days and what the polls in guam, indiana and north carolina will show........I feel a tight race:)

If you include michigan & florida..... hillary would know be winning in the over all popular vote.... If you don't include either one... she is losing by only 400,000 votes.... GO HILLARY!!!

If Obama can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen..... I hope they keep using that line:)

Zogby and Suffolk polls showed hillary winning pennsylvania by 10 points.... I hope they keep polling for the other states:)

Drudge Report had Hillary's Pennsylvania Data Leaked all over the internet the other day, showing that she would likely win pennsylvania between 9 to 12 points.... and she won by 10:)...wtg hillary:)

Obama only won 7 counties and out of the 7, 6 of them he hardly won... ... Philadephia is the only county that kept the race tight because he won over 65% of the vote there.....

I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this but...

Why can't HILLARY close the deal?

Always its "why can't Obama?" Seems to me like its the other way around-or could be interpreted that way. She *was* the presumtive nominee, she *had* all the money, she *had* the huge poll numbers, etc.

Just sayin'...

The spin is like a tornado today on Obama's media.

Bottom line, she crushed him like in the last debate. Lets have more so he will melt down again.

sorry, hyperRevue.... But NO News Channels or News Papers show that she won by single digits nor do they show that she only got 12 delegates... you might want to check into that...
Obama Supporters, its funny how you come on here and say....oh she ain't going to win pennsylvania or if she does its going to be single digits and then when she turns around and does....you play stupid.....

anyways, GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!

This win by HRC will go the way of NH, Super Tues and OhXas. The media and the rest of the talking heads all cluck on about Hillary's win (she does deserve a day or two to enjoy her win) but then the dust settles and people realize that HRC's odds of winning are actually going down with each successive contest. A week from now, there will be more talk of Obama vs. McCain and the GE.

More predictions - if Clinton goes extremely negative, the supers will come out in greater numbers for Obama.

The Nat'l polls will show a little bump for Clinton over the next week but by next weekend that will all but dissappear and Obama will be back up to 10pts.

"We're not gonna do that," Plouffe said. "We have not talked about those issues in the campaign, and won't."

Looks like another Obama camp lie.

Here's from an Obama campaign memo:

Bill Clinton Released His Tax Returns In 1992 But Refused To Release Their Tax Returns From Before 1980. During the 1992 campaign, the Clintons claimed to be coming clean by releasing their tax returns from 1980 forward. But they steadfastly refused to release their returns for prior years, and only later did we learn that 1978 and 1979 were the tax years when Mrs. Clinton reported her 10,000% cattle-futures trading profit.

The politics of personal destruction continues...

Why should the Obama campaign suddenly go positive now? They've been increasingly engaging in negative politics. Why pretend to be above it now?

To nitpick -- it's "nit" = lice eggs, not "knit."

If you pick at knitting, it falls apart; if you pick out nits, you get to engage in the most eye-straining, detailed task imaginable.

I actually think this is a good strategy... Float the idea that you might look at the Clinton's past, then get the media to ask you the question. Say "Everyone knows about Clinton's past", and that it's not necessary to go there.

Media outlets then follow with "Obama's campaign won't dredge up Clinton's past", and then the media outlets themselves will proceed to do so, by saying all the things that the Obama campaign won't bring up, just to remind us what Clinton's past is...

I've already seen articles about this that talk about "Whitewater, Travelgate, Lewinsky" etc. So - the past gets talked about - but the campaign isn't the one doing it.

Sneaky and smart...

Looks like 9 points, to me. But the number 9 doesn't exist in Hillaryland.

Sometimes I wish there could be a temporary parallel universe in which - for just a month or two - Clinton gets the Democratic nomination and is simply SHREDDED by the Republicans with all the scandal, mud, inuendo, etc. that is sitting in her closet.

In her self-protective bubble, I'm sure she thinks she's super-tough and doesn't even begin to imagine what she could be hit with if she were up against anyone except Obama. He's doing the right thing, and the best for the party and it's chances in Nov. ................. but a nasty little part of me would really like to see her get it full in the face. When I think back to how she exploded and raved when John Edwards said a few harsh words during a debate ..... it wouldn't be pretty. Except for a couple of moments like that, she's received the kid-glove treatment from her opponents throughout this whole process .. and doesn't have the sense to even appreciate that fact.

What a jury says about the Clintons' alleged scandal involvement is nothing compared to what the Rove playbook says.

We should remember, though, the Karl Rove playbook lost to the Democrats playbook in 2006. It also lost to the democrats playbook in 2000. Even the most blatantly negative Rovian knee-capping commercial wasn't enough--they lost the popular vote and had to steal the election.

Karl Rove gets a lot of credit, but as of today, he's been the architect of the Republican minority.

"Were not going to talk about cattle futures and Whitewater"

That's talking about it. See the memo they wrote about talking about it.

Why the hell not?

Isn't it important that we thoroughly vet Senator Clinton and prepare her for the nasty attacks she's sure to suffer at the hands of the GOP? It's in her best interest that we raise all the issues she'll surely face in the general election, isn't it? It's what's best for the Party, after all.

you poor naive people who don't understand the #1 rule about posting on the internet.

DO NOT. FEED. THE TROLLS.

Gotalife is not a Clinton supporter. he is not here to promote or defend his candidate. not even a bad one, though often the line between true troll and fanatic Clinton supporter is a thin one. he just wants to get a rise of out responders. he is the former; a classic internet troll.

trying to have conversations with a troll just makes the comments sections look bad for any neutral parties looking on. if you leave him alone and stop trying to engage him he will go away. please do that.

Come on folks. People who were paying attention noticed that the Obama camp raised the so-called scandals of the 90s, including Whitewater, many times in many direct and indirect ways going all the way back to the contest in Iowa.

I was not particualarly put off by it at first, but when they started quoting from Jeff Gerth's NEW book about Hillary Clinton, I was irritated.
