Comments on: Schneider: Why Obama won Vermont http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/04/schneider-why-obama-won-vermont/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Debbie http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/04/schneider-why-obama-won-vermont/#comment-668940 Debbie Wed, 05 Mar 2008 03:59:29 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/?p=5702#comment-668940 It's really happening. The worst of the worst is winning out over all. CNN projects Hillary the winner in OHIO. That must make all those folks whose vote has not been counted feel really important. I wish there was a law to stop that. No projections by media. Report the final vote and that is all. No Delegates and No Super Delegates being able to determine who is president rather than the vote of the people. It's really happening. The worst of the worst is winning out over all.

Stop your train of the purest, most disgraceful selfishness, and admit that you're just way too unqualified, egotistical, and presumptuous to run against a strong, unstoppable, beyond intelligent woman and a former 5-year POW in the Vietnam War. You are in no position to run, and your arrogant, self-righteous attitude is despicable! This American Idol cult is disbanded. Move on over to let the big, qualified people handle the job!

I do not want someone like that in the White House. She is simply a continuation of what we have had. I WILL NOT vote for her and many many others feel the same. Should she get the nomination with her abominable tactics, the Republicans will keep the White House. As I am listening to McCain's speech right now, he is sounding better and better. Barak Obama is the only one who truly understands and cares about the American people. Mrs. Clinton cares only for herself. I am revolted by Clinton's negativity.

Hillary and Bill are power driven and will not do anything but tie up the congress and senate for four years fighting with the Republicans, auditing their tax returns as they did in the past, and not to mention how mysteriously people died in the past administration. That is frighten enough. Barack is not perfect, but at least he is willing to unite all parties to get issues taken care of in Washington. We need fresh eyes, and a new direction. With Hillary it will be politics as usually and not to mention all deals Bill is making behind her back that has to be paid back. This couple is too convoluted with corruption.

Let’s get real! Read Obama’s book. He is a great man who understands all the issues. He is more practical. He is ahead of his time and could become the best president ever. Obama’s book is somewhat prophetic, original, honest, and refreshing. To all of you negative sour apples of the world, Shawn Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and to some of you rude political pundits with your own negative agendas who are about to go on a long vacation soon after Obama sends the Clintons home, you need to curl up to a good book and get to know the man, Barack Obama.

"Shame on all of you woman who did not vote for Hilliary – for the first time in history we have the opportunity to vote for an intelligent, articulate, dedicated, and experienced woman who would and could sucessfully lead our country."

Wow, this isn't sexist, right?

If, as I black person, I posted this about fellow black folks regarding senator Obama, I'd be blasted & called a racist. I'll lay back and see what happens....

The campaign will just keep swift boating Senator Obama until a state that matters votes. Meanwhile, her supporters attack young people, black people, and the college educated. After all, they ARE the groups that typically get the Dems over the hump in the National, so alienating them will accomplish....I'm not sure. But keep doing it.

The exit poll was conducted on a random sample of those exiting the polling place and is fairly representative of the voters. For there to be such an early call, the margin of victory for Obama, based on the demographics and answers to the exit poll, must have been significant (>15%) to overcome any random error or chance in the data.

She's through now unless she cheats. OK Go HRC spin doctors. I really marvel at comments from many Hillary supporters such as "Vermont doesnt matter" Everybody matters. Barack is running a campaign in every state his campaign doesnt discount certain states to try to only win big states.

I voted for Hillary but I still think Obama is a great choice as well, simply because he's the opposite of what we currently have in the White House. We shouldn't be separating ourselves based on who we voted for, we all need to unite and get a Democrat in the white house. Stop wasting your time with petty things and just be happy that we have two very good candidates. And Obama won Vermont simply because of the moment he's had, not cause the people in Vermont are smarter than anyone else in the country. If Hillary won 11 in a row, she would have won Vermont. That's how it works. I think it's ridiculous that some of you love to bash Hillary who is a democrat candidate.

I know it's politically incorrect to say that, but I can't help but feel it. I believe the young people have a wisdom that we older folks may lack.
