I will not vote for Obama if my girl Hillary is not the nominee." THAT MAKES SENSE. I didn't care about a woman's right to choose, my son or daughter being killed in a worthless war, or the economy my grand children are to inherit. GET A CLUE PEOPLE. Jesus. Here are the facts. Hillary Clinton re-invented herself so many times people were confused. She caught some fire in states that favor her demographically but it's too little too late. Time to stand down and fall in line. "I'm a woman who is pro-choice. I will not vote for Obama if my girl Hillary is not the nominee." THAT MAKES SENSE.

Doesn't Clinton realize that maybe people just don't like (or trust) her? The fact that she admitted lying about being under sniper fire during the PA debate, should make people wonder about what else she lied about. With her apparent involvement in her husband's adminstration, I cannot think that her adminstrative policies would differ more than his. What with the travel scandal, the Whitewater scandal, and poor Vince Foster, to name only a few, maybe there are reasons, other than sexism, as to why some of us have the audacity to not like her. Her arrogance puts her husband's to shame. As far as sexism goes, I think the hill folk's votes speak for sexism versus racism. How pathetic!

Hillary Clinton CANNOT win this primary season AND win the general election. It’s simply not possible because to win this primary season the DNC would have to make up or use some backwards rule and overturn the will of the people who have voted more for Obama than for Clinton. The only way she wins is thru a technicality and if anyone thinks the AA’s who already aren’t voting for her and the progressive Dems who already aren’t voting for her and the young people who already aren’t voting for her and the Latino community who has been silent for some time (and deftly silent after Clinton has declared it is the white people who will lead her to the White House) then you are pretty delusional. Now back to my point, there are a lot of Republicans trolling boards like this pretending to be Hillary supporters who say bad things about Obama and or Hillary to cause a divide. Any true Dem, realizing that their candidate has lost, should be happy that people are rallying around one candidate, intent on getting the Dem into the White House. That is how true Dems think and anyone suggesting otherwise might not be a Dem after all. Why are supposed Clinton supporters angry because support is shifting to Obama?

Well if Clinton can't handle the media then she can't be President.

I don't care if you think she's a better candidate. The better candidate is the one that knows how to beat the system as it exists. She hasn't.

Between the supreme court (which effectively overturned a law protecting women against pay discrimination, and which, if McBush has his way, will overturn Roe V.

I'd like to say that even if she were going to be the nominee, I would still vote but I don't know. She has done more than be a formidable candidate. She has lied, misrepresentated and manipulated. She has made this election not about American's, not about women but about herself in absolutely the most selfish, unflattering, un-lady like manner possible.

Why wasn't she fighting back when this decision was first made? Wake up people! It's because she didn't think she would need FL and MI, and she didn't plan for a campaign that would last beyong February 5th!!! Hillary doesn't give a rat's behind about FL voters. She only wants to win! The funny thing is, even if you count FL and MI, SHE STILL LOSES! I must say, I have a great deal of nostalgic respect for the Clintons. I voted for Bill Clinton in 1996 - the first time I EVER voted. But now it is time to move forward. It's time for the Democrats to unite around Barack Obama.
