There is no question he is the candidate of the Black People. There is a question as to his standing with the majority. I for one will not vote for someone just because he is black nor would I vote for someone just because he is white. I will however vote for someone because he is a member of my group - A Naval Aviator. Obama has not been able to prove himself in the states where it counts.

She gave the Republicans ammo to fight Obama with in the general election in November, were he to be the nominee. I've never seen anyone go to those lengths in other internal party elections in Ireland or the UK. It is as if she was saying to the Democrats "If I'm not going to be the nominee then I'll make sure you lose." I was not committed either way before that stunt but now, if she wins the presidency, it will cast a long shadow on politics for a long time. Bizarrely its almost exactly as Obama said in the beginning - the politics of fear vs a new hope.

If you cannot win (and she can't) then you hold the Democratic Party hostage until you get the nomination or you will destroy them or any chance of a presidential win for ANYBODY Democratic.

After all, according to the Clinton campaign logic, McCain won CA, NY, NJ, MA all states that Republicans lose in the general, while Huckabee won the South and more self-identified Republicans in SC and FL. So if we are to ignore delegates, states won and vote totals and all that matters is selective states that you are "supposed" to win then I guess Mike Huckabee is preparing for his nomination. If delegates and votes don't matter in who should be nominated, what would prevent such future "moral" claims to nominations, no matter how far behind candidates are?

The Dems have screwed up this perfect scenario that would have given them time, and both branches (Congress and Executive) of government to reverse the Reagan/Bushes era. They don't have to move to the middle if they figure it out!

The number of Clinton supporters who refuse to vote for Obama exceed the Obama supporters who won't vote for Clinton. 24% of Clinton supporters like McCain. Obama is susceptible to McCain in 3 democratic states. They can spin all they want. Statistically they are the weakest candidate. Oh yeah, good line....

Example
Texas
Popular vote Clinton 51% caucus 44%
Popular vote obama 47% caucus 56%
Plus only 41% of the precincs have been reported the others might have somehow come up missing

As Tom Brokaw said in an interview with the Canadian news channel, he is flying 35,000 ft above, it is time now he comes down to earth and face the reality. He can't go on to win the general election just by winning over 90% of black votes. Lets accept the fact, most of the states he won are red states and irrelevant in the general election because these states will go to the Republicans anyway. Clinton is a fighter, througout this campaign she has been fighting tough against all odds and still standing hard on ground. Do we think Obama can handle the pressure she has been? I admire her for what she has done for the country, what has Obama done so far except criticizing Bill Clinton's legacy and talking empty talks?

This position is flawed...The democrats will win CA, NY, NJ, MA and yes OH and PA with either of these canidates. This is mostly true with all of the states...Obama does bring into play the possibility to win states that have traditionaly voted republican and Hillary does not...this is an undisputed fact (republicans HATE Hillary)

All canidates try to spin their message to benefit them but Hillary Clinton does in a way that disrespects the american voter, treating us as if we are stupid. We should all be outraged over her behavior!

Is Texas still a worthy state or has it lost its status afterthe full election results? and here I am thinking that the USA consisted of 50 states plus some far away regions like Puerto rico, Guam etc. From the Clinton point of view the USAc osists merely of a handful of bigger states like California, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania, provided she wins those states.
