Do you remember when Al Gore, despite winning more than 500,000 (half a million) votes nationwide over Bush and despite voting irregularities in Florida, the recount was bullied by people flown in to Florida to disrupt the process? Well, it is happening again. Only this time it is Hillary Clinton employing the same tactics. Votes in Michigan and Florida were never supposed to count because they violated Democratic Party rules, written partially by Harold Ickes from the Clinton Team when he was working for the DNC. Let me ask you this. Would Clinton be calling for those votes to count if she lost to Uncommitted? Hillary Clinton is sociopathically corrupt, immoral and fraudulent. She is unfit to lead this country.

I want someone who has a perspective of the world not wrapped entirely in their life long political ambitions, veiled in dishonesty. When working on the Clinton Campaign in 1992, the mantra was that the character of the policy was more important than the character of the man, which is itself a huge concession, to concede that you have no character. I have come to believe the opposite. The Clintons are a LIE. The Clinton Legacy is a LIE. Hillary's entire campaign is a LIE. How much bull_hit does one have to stomach on very critical issues before the media and the people say you know what honey, you are UNFIT to lead this country.

Sandmann, when you go through the journey of the dark night of the soul, you awaken to see things far more clearly. I harbor no illusions that any politician is my savior, but having worked on the Clinton/Gore Campaign 1992 and having followed and tracked these people since that time, I have come to realize how I was completely duped. The Clintons are a FRAUD and are attempting to sustain their legacy through voter fraud, manipulation and whenever possible suppression efforts. The Clinton's have used every trick in the book to create the illusion that she is still alive all while doing all that she can to hurt Obama and the Democratic Party. Whatever shortcomings Obama may have, it does not even scratch the surface of the breadth, depth and extent of Clinton Corruption. The Clintons are political predators who's entire net worth was derived through political patronage and selling access to power at the highest levels. The MIC, MSM and lunatic fringe, O'Reilly, are assisting in proping up Hillary because they fear the unknown with Obama. Hillary will protect the status quo and insure that the old guard is not threatened all while fostering the illusion to all the little people that were deceived and voted for her, that she is "one of you"---the shape shifting fraud deftly crafted an All American persona with BOTOX, FAKE BLUE CONTACT LENSES, BLONDE HAIR DYE and BROTHEL RED LIPSTICK. The only problem is when I see that creature smile, all I can think of is THE JOKER in Batman or "Chucky" in Child's Play. Hillary does not look comfortable in her own face because it is not her own face, and neither is Chelsea's for that matter.

What America is witnessing is the last stand of old politics. The mainstream media is selling the tightness of this race and perpetuating the fiction that Hillary Clinton can still win this thing because the military industrial complex wants it that way. But the movement behind OBAMA that has brought together one of the broadest and most diverse cross sections of the American electorate will not be denied. The Clinton Machine will be defeated. America needs this colonic to cleanse and detoxify itself of the stench of Clinton style politics. Hillary can join Karl Rove, Lee Atwater and Jessie Helms in the anti-democracy hall of fame. American History will regard the Clinton Legacy as smoke and mirrors and defrauding the working class of America for political gain.

Cool Blue Reason is right.
If the HRC campaign is so "concerned" about Wright as a potential liability, why don't they... I don't know... start defending Obama instead of relentlessly smearing him?
Gosh, I keep making the mistake of assuming good faith or decency in these people. Perhaps I really am a naive dreamer...
I will tell you why. HRC is a DINO, A Democrat in Mame Only. The Clinton's see the Democratic Party as an instrumentality which must inure to their own benefit. This is the reason why they care not to build up the depth and leadership of the party and why their support is a mile wide and inch deep. Loyalty is a one way street with the Clinton clan. Super delegates fear a Clinton backlash which is why many are waiting until it is clear that the House of Clinton is about to fall and the Witch is dead before speaking up.

Pollsters make money on polls. These insta polls say nothing about the state of the race. If California were voting today, Obama would have narrowed the gap or might have won. Capische. The American people have spoken, Obama has won 30 states to Hillary's 14 and he has more pledged delegates. Truth is that if Obama were a white male and Hillary were not a Clinton, strong calls would have come for her to drop out of the race and unify the party. The mainstream media and corrupt influences in the Democratic party are propping up the candidacy of a woman that a broad cross section of this country would sooner see go away and retire her LIES, MANIPULATION & DECEIT to the scrap heap of political history. AMERICA has said no to the FASCIST IN A PANT SUIT.

Will Hillary's Rasputinesque character deflate the hopes of Obama supporters on March 4th? Will the Freddie Kruger of American politics fight to live another day, killing the dreams of so many Americans? These are are the questions I ask myself.
Make no mistake, the current news cycle favors HRC's Campaign. On the eve of the most significant primaries in her life, network television, based in the media capital of the world gave local New York Senator a prime audience on Saturday Night Live (SNL) and Monday morning television. You cannot buy that kind of advertising. The MSM is eager for the campaign to continue on and is doing all that they can to prop up Hillary's fortunes and undermine Obama. Obama is not getting favorable National Media attention. Fortunately, the Obama Campaign realized early on that the National Media has its own agenda. The Obama Campaign has made LOCAL MEDIA the focus when running in individual states, limiting access to National Media, wisely. The National Mainstream Media has an agenda at odds with local issues and is more obsessed with continuing a horse race.Nevertheless, Obama may find that killing off Hillary will be much like trying to kill Rasputin, Michael Myers (Halloween), Jason (Friday the 13th) or Freddie Kruger (Nightmare on Elm Street). Or perhaps a more appropriate analogy is the one made by Peggy Noonan, that Hillary is more like Glenn Close in FATAL ATTRACTION: "I will not be ignored Dan."
My prediction is that Hillary wins Ohio going away (unfortunately). Obama wins Texas in very tight race. Hillary wins Rhode Island and Obama wins Vermont. The delegate race will barely change or may tilt slightly toward Obama. But make no mistake, despite Clinton Campaign spin, it is the mainstream media that is keeping Hillary's campaign afloat. The press has a love affair with the Clintons. Drama sells news-papers and keeps pundits on the air. The press is eager for the campagn to continue and under the above scenario and come Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, will help the Clinton Campaign spin that she is back, she is recovered, she has money and then she fights on to Pennsylvania. I do not like this scenario myself but suspect Hillary supporters do.

Aimey: That was funny ;-) I do not dislike Richardson but we all have to remember that politicians like Richardson are always looking for their next gig. He is looking for a political appointment and by straddling the fence for too long I do not think he is earning points with either candidate. Hence, my belief why Edwards did not endorse. My guess is that Hillary made more substantial promises but since it looks like Obama might win then why jump in with Hillary and foreclose a role in an Obama Administration.

Obama is of the people, by the people and for the people, which is why I joined several friends yesterday and made a contribution. I worked on the Clinton/Gore Campaign in 1992, voted for Bill Clinton twice but since that time have learned to stop drinking the kool-aid, now respect that history does not lie. Hillary & Bill=Bonnie & Clyde. They profess to be middle class warriors but their are crooks and liars, power hungry fascists, who are for sale to the highest bidder. You see in America, if you can be bought and sold yet appear to be and perceived by the middle class as being one of them, then you have the greatest of power and influence. Obama's string of victories all across America are convincing in that the coalition is broadening and he has beaten Clinton by 2-1 and double digit margins in many states. Hillary has had few victories of that magnitude. Furthermore, in her "home state" of NY, Citizens Union has called for an investigation into potential VOTE FRAUD IN NY which may have given Hillary her margins in 82 districts. Some believe that Hillary would have lost Brooklyn & Harlem but for the acts of party machine people who favor Hillary.

Mark Penn is the most overpaid and least credible political consultant in America. If Hillary had a Joe Trippi, she would have money left in the Bank and likely be doing alot better. That this fat, greedy bastard has any credibility with the media amazes me. OBAMA'S Independent support would evaporate? Well Mr. Penn, then if Hillary has NONE to speak of, and nearly 1/2 of her own party will bolt and not vote for Hillary if she is the nominee then how does that portend for Hillary in a GENERAL ELECTION?? Will Independents, Republicans and disaffected Republicans all of a sudden fall in love with her?? In so many states, Hillary cannot even rally DEMOCRATS to the polls. That is SUICIDE. QUOTE ME: If Hillary is the Democratic Nominee several things will happen: 1) Record numbers of Democrats will bolt the party, support the Republican or Independent candidate, 2) Independents will vote R or I and 3)Republicans will be energized to come out in record numbers to defeat Hillary and 4)Independent Candidate will take away votes from HRC and Hillary will not even get the 43% that Bill got when Ross Perot ran the first time. She will finish in the mid-high 30%
