I think George W. would be proud of her fear-mongering campaign and her out and out lies and manipulations of "The facts.' I am an independent who has voted for both republican and democratic candidates for 22 years and I just cannot support the Billary show making a comeback. She will take this to the convention folks and then Billary will start their strong-arm tactics with delegates and then the primary system show claims to support will all be for naught. As a 40-something white women, I am so disappointed we don't have a better woman candidates. I will not vote for her if she strong arms her way to the nomination.

I tried very hard but I can't stand the Clintons anymore. I refuse to vote for her because 27% of Hillary's supporters say they will vote for McCain if Barack wins the nomination. I said I would vote for her but no more. I can't stomach those liars. They are in the same league as the Bush clan. This country deserves what they keep voting for, hatred and division.

First person I have witnessed on any blog who actually has figured this out and precisely articulated it. Were he to respond with the same aggression she has shown, he would be both perceived and characterized as the angry black man, and she the lily white damsel in distress. But his approach is not accidental. He is a black man in America and unfortunately, this is the trade off you have to make in order to become successful. Sad indeed.

Doesn't anyone remember when Obama was saying that Hillary didn't have the judgment to be president because she voted yes on the Iraq resolution? That was his standard stump speech. If you don't think that was a negative attack, get real. Of course, he had to quit saying it when someone finally realized and got through to him that many senators like Kerry and Edwards had voted for it too. (I wouldn't think Edwards would be very happy to support Obama while Obama is saying that he didn't have the judgment to be president. Kerry was already in Obama's grasp because he has a problem with the Clintons.) Although I did hear Obama ramp that up again this last week. CNN always puts the negative spin on Hillary.

I am tired of being labeled something I am not because I do not want to fall in behind Obama. My circle of Hillary supporters is well-educated and informed. I also think it will be a shame when all is said and done to discover that a lot of the youthful Obama supporters are boomerangers still at home allowing thier parents to support them. What they have is time -- time to spend on the net and time to campaign that those of us out in the workforce (and yes, even the parents supporting them) do not have. Obama has been just as negative and just as "political" as any other candidate. The big difference is he keeps lying and saying he isn't -- and sadly many are caught up in the smoke and mirrors of his candidacy. Hillary is our best hope for straightening out the mess the Republicans made of our country, and by extendion, the world! Richard is 100% correct.

She's hurt Obama in some ways, but I really don't think Clinton supporters see the damage she's done herself. Most of the country does not like her and now she's gone and ensured that will be a HUGE hurdle for her if she were to ever make the general. I support Obama, but I'd support Hillary if the other choice is McCain. But man, I don't see how any of this helps her at all. She's sinking fast and an adult in the party needs to tell her to put the dogs away for the Republicans. It's sad really. We're witnessing the distinigration of the party in slow motion.
