I'm not one to spam or play Chicken Little, but the sky IS falling.

"Senator Obama's plan to declare himself the Democratic nominee tomorrow night in Iowa is a slap in the face to the millions of voters in the remaining primary states and to Senator Clinton's 17 million supporters."

The Clinton campaign must be really really broke.

17 million supporters, and yet they can only afford one face to be slapped.

Always the victim.

After reading that, I hope Obama declares victory for tommorrow. Because by not doing it, it will give her the upperhand.

Hey Hillary, what about slap in the face you gave to all the caucus states, sans Nevada.

Meanwhile, in real life, Obama opens up 16-point lead in Gallup daily tracking poll.

Well he said he wasn't. Now I hope he does!

This is beyond stupid. He's won and they have got to get over that. Or not - whatever. Make up their minds right now if they are Democrats or bitter.

I'm way annoyed - they are hell bent on taking any pleasure or glory out of his win.

Credit where it's due. She did not use the words "white" and "hardworking" this time.

Hillary is such a fighter. She's a regular "Million Dollar Baby".

Hillary who?

this statement is hillarious because Senator Obama has no "plan to declare victory" tomorrow.

geeesh

How is this for a slap in the face Hillary;

During your victory speech in West Virginia you bragged about having met that day with Senator Byrd.

Today:

"Barack Obama is a noble-hearted patriot and humble Christian, and he has my full faith and support," Byrd concluded.

The more time Hillary spends with our leaders the more she convinces them to rush to the aid of Senator Obama.

Can't decide which best describes the Hillary "Machine," comical or pathetic.

How about pathetically comical?

Anyone out there still hoping for "The Dream Ticket"?!?

-

Obama/Olbermann '08!

What an ugly statement. Especially since the Obama team has all ready said they had no plans of doing such.

An ugly statement indeed.

I feel like I'm getting whiplash at this point. Last week, I thought she was outstanding in rebutting the Bush-McCain criticisms. Outstanding.

Today? She's lying about Obama.

What's going to happen tomorrow?

Just looking at the title, I knew it would be Mr. Sargent who was writing this, giving more credence to the HRC spin, based on one anonymous quote form 8 days ago to Politico, than to the carefully slated position by the Obama campaign. What is the agenda here - fan the flames so we can all go down together in November???

Ok I'm not getting this. What is this, the "You're hurting my feelings defense"?

If Hillary can't handle someone simply starting the fact that they have won the majority of the pledged delegates, how could she handle those mean old Republicans, let alone the pressures of the oval office.

After all it is just plain and simple math, there is no emotion or malice to it at all. Complaining about this is like someone complaining about there being 50 states in the US.

Also wasn't her campaign the one that repeatedly stated that if you can handle the heat, get out of the kitchen? And I do believe I remember something about the Clintons intending to throw elbows... a kitchen sink etc too a while back.

This is an ObamaNation!

She continues to raise the hopes of her supporters in the face of certain failure. And all Democrats are suffering for it. Don't tell me she still has a chance. Don't tell me she can still win because she can't. It's over. She really and truly needs to just bow out gracefully.

Amen!

Amen amen amen!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary takes the oath of office:

It has been over since Wisconsin.
Hillary and her supporters are slow learners with no Math skills.
Maybe they are hardworking though.

Say goodbye to Billary
After Tuesday

McBushCain: The War Hybrid that is fueled by Fear.

More War Years! More War Year! More War Years!

McCain of the Panderosa is the lost little maverick that the Cowboy from Crawford slapped his War Monger brand on.

More War Years! More War Years! More War Years!

My comments aren't working in the new thread. Anyone else having that problem?

hahaha, I'd love to hear some of your reform suggestions...

Reform #1: Any election in which Hillary Clinton participates, Hillary Clinton wins.

I saw the story that Obama intends to declare victory tomorrow night on ABC News. And yes, if he does it, it would be a slap to Hillary supporters. It would send presumptuous message that Obama takes their support for granted. It would also look a little odd if he declares victory before he reaches the magic number of delegates.

What is the point of declaring victory when, by every measure, you have already won? If the victory is self-evident, why declare?

Sooner, rather than later, HillaryNation will come to the realization that it's not going to happen for her this year. And unless they are truly myopic and are willing to vote against their own self-interest (as many as 3 new Associate Supreme Court Justices, anyone?) by supporting a McCain candidacy (or staying home to pout), they should cool off and get behind Obama in November.

We need their support. It is loyal and fervently enthusiastic. One would hope they would rally to the cause. We cannot afford a McCain presidency.

Perhaps, Hillary believes Haim Saban can buyoff enough super delegates to steal the election by June 3rd?

As the hook pulled her offstage, she'd go screaming, dragging the podium with her, while her shrieking maenads pelted the stage with rotten fruit and bitter accusations of "misogyny."

A**holes to the end. Oh well. Let them pout and stomp their feet. They didn't get their way.

The word for this type of argument btw is "straw man". Maybe Obama should denounce Hillary's outrageous and undemocratic plan to crown herself Empress?

Only in Hillary's world the winner would be insult to the person that lost. We now must over turn all election based on her reality.

Just another reason why we Hillary supporter will be voting for McCain IF Hillary is not the nominee!@

WE SAY:

Screw Obama and his vile mouthed vicious supporters!

VOTE MCCAIN IF HILLARY IS NOT NOMINEE!!

Don't trust the security of this country to that Hamas supporting NUT!!

If He's So Confident, Why The Desperate Behavior?

May 18, 2008 (LPAC)--Two recent incidents suggest that, despite the lying media hype that Senator Barack Obama has already secured the Democratic nomination, nothing could be further from the truth, and the Obama backers and some Howard ``Scream'' Dean people are now resorting to desperate tactics, including heavy-handed pressure and outright bribery, to try to stop Senator Hillary Clinton's building momentum, going into the final series of primary elections.

Sources close to the Obama camp have reported that the May 14 endorsement by former Senator and Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards, came at a heavy price. According to one source, Edwards was put under tremendous pressure to endorse Obama now, or face total isolation by the Obama camp. A second source added that ``private donors'' very close to Obama made major contributions to an Edwards anti-poverty project, to buy the Senator's endorsement. Just days before Hillary Clinton's landslide victory in the West Virginia primary on May 13, Edwards had announced his intentions to remain neutral until the nomination had been finalized. Then, on May 14, he made his about-face and endorsed Obama. The day before the endorsement, on May 13, Edwards had been in Philadelphia to launch a new anti-poverty campaign, called ``Half-in-Ten,'' whose avowed goal is to cut poverty in America in half in the next decade. Two of the groups participating in the coalition, the Center for American Progress Action Fund and ACORN, are both almost exclusively funded by none other than George Soros, and his Democracy Alliance of billionaires. Soros launched the Democracy Alliance in April 2005, in an effort to assure Anglo-Dutch financier domination over the Democratic Party, through the pooling of the wealth of 70 multi-millionaires and billionaires, into a targeted list of Democratic Party organizations and think tanks. Among the members of the Soros group is Fred Baron, a wealthy Dallas, Texas attorney who was finance chairman for John Edwards' failed 2004 presidential campaign.

In another move that clearly showed more signs of desperation than confidence, Obama backers induced Prince George, Maryland County Executive Jack Johnson, a Hillary Clinton delegate, to announce, on May 14, that he was switching his convention vote to Obama--despite the fact that, under Democratic Party rules, elected delegates are bound to the candidate they were elected to represent in the primary--at least on the first ballot. Both the Maryland Democratic Party and Howard Scream's DNC made no effort to shoot down Johnson's defection. The increasing thug tactics being used by Obama backers in recent days is a reflection of growing concern that, coming out of Senator Clinton's landslide victory in West Virginia, and the overwhelming support that she is winning among blue collar voters, and other constituents in the lower 80 percent income bracket, it may be impossible to settle the nomination battle before the August nominating convention in Denver. Lyndon LaRouche has emphasized that, if Senator Clinton continues her active candidacy into the August convention, she will win the nomination, and then go on to soundly defeat John McCain in the general election in November. LaRouche has warned for months that Obama is not electable, and that leading City of London financial circles had backed Obama, only to knock Clinton out of the race. Ultimately, they intend to assure that he is never elected President. Increasingly, Obama backers in many states around the country, are coming to see that LaRouche's warnings were correct.

Look everyone - I've made a lot of ignorant, hateful posts over the last few months. Some have been downright racist - like my Icon.

The truth is - I'm a sad, bitter pathetic man. It's been this way for a while - ever since I contracted herpes from my wife's sister. I've led a very sad life - and I apologize.

I was hired by the Republican party to cause mischief - and I've been at odds with myself ever since I started. From now on though - I promise - never again.

Please, accept my humblest apologies for my utterly idiotic, poorly written, hateful, downright lame posts. I am utterly ashamed for what I've done here.

It's just become such a wonderful farce -- Hillary is actually trying to claim that, by winning the contest fair and square, Obama is slapping her voters in the face.
I completely fail to see how any woman, even those over 60, can see Hillary Clinton's angry, self-righteous victimhood strategy as empowering to women. Her constant asking for the rules to be changed, so that they benefit her, would seem to fly in the face of what feminism is all about -- treating men and women as equals. I mean, I can tweak the rules enough so that my pet hamster Hortense wins the Democratic nomination, but how is that empowering to hamsters?
Frankly, if Hillary were president, it would set feminism back 60 years.

******Be careful, you maybe opening up yourself to
sexist charges or misogyny my friend.HRC is always the victim.

More lies from Hillary. She's really ending her campaign on a low, low note. It's really quite pathetic.

Even more, Hillary is showing just why so many people are rejecting her: she represents the same old politics as usual in Washington: Decry a statement from your opponent that your opponent never made, then get the lapdog media to report it so that it becomes part of the political narrative even though it never happened. Thank God Obama will put an end to these cynical, deceptive tactics that insult the intelligence of the American people.

This smear needs a brief counter-statement. How

"Appeasement isn't talking, it's giving things away for nothing -- like giving half a free country to a dictator. They're twisting words again to try to fool you."

In the history of all histories there has been no campaign that has played the sympathy/victimhood card...and thus the the gender card...as much as HRC. I will say now that she will hold this record forever.

Come on, I'm sure Hillary has en extra face she can lend out for a slap or two.

smart politcian
now thinking of 2012
destroys the party

In an election, there are always losers and winners. Hillary's supporters are going to have to learn to accept the fact that their candidate lost. And the best way for them to accept this is for Hillary to concede graciously. To keep pumping them up like this is no good for the democratic party and its no good for her supporters.

Hillary, when will you accept that your defeat is inevitable? Why do you keep dragging this out and denying it?

The vanity never ends with the Clinton camp, does it.

The Clintons are socio-paths....Nixonian in their own weird way...

A Note to HRC Losers: You are losers not because of Obama but because HRC is a loser and a majority of Democrats have rejected her. HRC did not lose the nomination becuase she is a women. HRC lost it becauce she is a bitch. It's plain and simple.

The real headline of this article should be:

"OBAMA PLANS TO WIN DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION INSULTS HILLARY AND HER SUPPORTERS."

He should just drop out now, so they don't all get their feelings hurt. I wouldn't want Bill to wave his finger at him.

For a "strong" woman, Clinton certainly plays the victim card with dispiriting regularity.
