I agree Aldon. As much as I want to see a black president, Hillary would be the strongest at the top of the ticket. She can win crucial states that are question marks for Obama (Florida, Ohio, etc..) They both need each other, and she cant win without him either. If Obama loses at the top of the ticket, he is through in politics. He will be like Kerry and Gore. If he loses at the bottom of the ticket then he can blame Hillary for the loss. And he could continue to run and gain power in the democratic party.

BTW…I am a blackwoman from Cleveland, OH.

Hello Sally. Let us pretend you are right, and 90% of black people are racist. This means that the only reason they are voting for Obama is because he is Black.

This means that, if you look at the MI vote results, none of these Black racists came out to vote for Obama, SINCE HIS NAME WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT. All your "racist" Black People must have stayed HOME. AGREED? Good.

Now, go to the top of this page, click the link that says "Election Center 2008″. Above the faces of the candidates is a box that says "State". From that box, select "Michigan".

Notice that Clinton won 55% of Michigan votes, or 328,151 White & Hispanic voters. ALSO, notice that 40% voted "Uncommited", 4% Kucinich. That is 237,762 + 21,708 turned out just to vote AGAINST Clinton. These are also white & Hispanic people!! 44%!!

THESE PEOPLE WENT TO A LOT OF TROUBLE TO TURN OUT JUST TO SAY "NO" TO CLINTON!!!

Now Sally, why did so many of these white and Hispanic people, almost 50% in the state of Michigan, WHY couldn't they vote for Obama in West Virginia and Kentucky? Why did the percentages fall?

I hope you can answer me Sally, my name is "Professor Truth".

My answer to the question is this: maybe Black People can pick a superior candidate over a rubbish candidate, and maybe because he is half-white doesn't bother them. Maybe they see a candidate who is better at running their campaign, doesn't go into debt, doesn't play race and gender card, doesn't sling mud, doesn't have lobby and Saudi Arabian money.

Then maybe the other guys, just can't vote for a guy who is 50% Black.

So you tell me who are the racists?

they played nasty and it back-fired….end of story. it is very certain that clinton supporters are not loyal democrats. if obama lost i would vote for hillary because that's what loyal dems do. hillary's supporters need to stop the anger BS and help unify the party. what's this BS about voting for McCain if hillary is not the nominee? you mean to tell me that you are soooooo dumb, that you will rather have four more years of the Bush Admin policies than to vote for a man who wants change. come on people get real. you are losing focus and gaining ignorance. those who hear don't listen and those who listen don't understand. obama is who we need at the moment. well even hillary said that she has the uneducated voters and it shows in their hatred for obama. it's sad to see that uneducated people have a say so in what direction the country goes. also hillary need to stop the madness and stop her ego trip and start to help obama defeat mccain in november. if her voter do go and vote for mccain in november, and that is more suffering like the last eight years, then you deserve every minute of it.

Boy this is a mouth full this interview covered a lot in a little time didn't it?

Well I do think in some ways he and Obama can relate to each other's upbringing, single parent and all, but I believe Clinton somehow lost sight of what is most important along the way, especially in his quest to get his wife elected, they forgot about the most important element, the people yet made this whole thing about themselves to the point that they became desperate and calculating beyond all trustworthiness that I think was due to more than lack of sleep, but let's say this is the reason both misspoke possibly decrementing comments to Hillary's bid to winning what does this truly say to their abilities to govern the most stressful job in the country? It may be that both their ages has hindered them from being reasonably qualified because let's face it none of these damaging answers were given by them at the 3 a.m. that Hillary's ad suggest a most important decision may be required. If they were standing on their feet and wide awake during the daylight hours what on earth will either of them think to do if awoken in the middle of a deep sleep with a really stressful question about American's security is posed? Whew! Makes me shurder to think!!

Bush's big mouth along with McCain's and Hillary's has too many people thinking about revenge to have either of them in that white house and Lord knows they don't need to be anywhere near that button while stubbering around confused in the middle of a serious wake up call!!

All of you that may want to still believe in them and McCain, this is not the first time they have warned us that they are too old for this job, better take heed!!!

Aldon Black - you're not a black man, you're a sales man. And a bad one, at that!

A couple of things to ponder -

- This was Hillary's race to lose, and she lost, and Obama beat her without dragging out the kitchen sink (please consider that when you consider bashing Obama). One pundit called her campaign staff guilty of campaign-malpractice and it is probably true. There is so much negative Clinton material to work with, Obama didn't use it. And it is clear no matter whether you think the Clintons have been playing the race card, it is also clear Obama has not been running on race, if anything it has hurt him, so don't accuse him of that.

- Hillary is not un-flawed candidate. Many of those same "white blue collars" could easily flip to McCain especially in Ohio and Indiana and there is no way she is going to energize the party like Obama has. She wouldn't win Kentucky or West Virginian either. There are just too many state she will have no chance in. Having her on the ticket would put states like Iowa, Wisconsin, and even California in play. Bill Clinton's best election he only got 40% of the white blue collars, I don't think Hillary would reach that against a war hero maverick.

- The Clintons are good, but they have never been good for the Democratic party - there are many examples of them putting themselves first, Hillary's current sexism accusations the most recent

- If you truly think McCain is a better choice, then vote for him. But I really find this a hard conclusion to come for reasons of policy, temperment, values, and judgment. As someone who two months ago was saying to my wife, "I will never vote for Hillary Clinton" - after watching McCain with a little more scrutiny, I would have held my nose and gladly voted for Hillary because McCain really is an extension of 8 failed years of Bush and brings his own undesirable baggage. This guy is really unsuited to be president. He has been a great public servant, thanks for the hard work, but he is a poor choice for president. Clinton and Obama are both more suited, regardless of party affiliation.

- Do me one favor - read the posts on this site and imagine just for a minute that there are some devious Limbaugh-types out there trying to stir up discontent in the Democratic party to try and favor McCain. They are actually pretty easy to spot.

Obama won this contest. No doubt that Hillary is now doing much better - the campaign staff shakeup was successful - but it is too late and she needs to get with the program — just as McCain did 8 years ago and he is now getting is own chance by being a good party member.

In addition to south carolina, Bill Clinton went on a Hispanic TV channel and said, HISPANICS WILL DETERMINE THIS ELECTION! Knowing well that hispanics leaned towards Hillary at the time
It is unbelievable how the Clintons are able to twist things around and say you did it. What goes around comes around. The Clintons have brought shame upon themselves.

Bill, if playing the race card is revolting then why did you play itin SC? Oh and how about Hillary proclaiming herself the white blue collar candidate? Why weren't you revolted by that? So your wife was dismissed and you felt like you were in the fun house? Well how about the press coverage prior to Iowa portraying Hillary as the heir to the Democratic Party nomination. Were you in the fun house then?

As far as Chelsea in politics, considering her behavior supporting her mother's lies about Bosnia obviously you and Hillary have taught her well.

Bill knows he played the race card,he
and Hillary would go to the extremes to try to keep a black man out of the white house,thats really their problem,they more than likely feel like most whites who continue to push her on saying THEY WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN,lets be for real and speak the truth,she know she cant win this

Hillary Keep fighting. I know that you will be a good president!

Bill, we are all tire all your families conspiracy theories about all of the people who are out to undermine your family. Can't you or Hillary just once admit your flaws and try to learn from your mistakes?

Go Hillary

Billary, you are really best when you are not talking, let alone giving interviews! Enough already. You were not "tired" when you compared Obama to Jesse Jackson. You showed your true colors then.

Bill Clinton is the past. Barack Obama is the future. I saw Obama today in Tampa, and it's clear that he's ready to lead our party and our country. Bill needs to get out of the way, suck it up, and accept the people's choice. His wife lost because her campaign was inferior. It has nothing to do with race or gender, and his comments over the course of this thing certainly don't help Hillary.

"get with the program" so Obama has no pride. is not a patriot, and shows no loylaty to his country. Come on! you guys kill me. Just be honest and say it..you won't vote for him cause he is black.

McCain a Patriot: oh thats why is willing to have our troops in Iraq for mimniun of at least 8yrs and a max of 100; Pride: yeah that's what Bush has and you see where we are at as a country; loyalty: Oh you mean loyal to these big oil companies, yeah his loyal alright, to their pockets and I'm pretty sure his.

GET REAL

I am so sick of reading these comments that state they will NOT vote for Hillary or Obama if their nominee doesn't get it!!!! GROW UP you all sound like a bunch of babies that goes for both sides… It‘s immature; maybe you shouldn’t be voting at all. I am sick of hearing about the WHITE blue collar votes. I am one of them Guess who I voted for…. and some of the votes Hillary has received with the White blue collar folks are REPUBLICANS, with thanks from Rush Limbo.

In the G.E. she will NOT get them…

I hate the flip flopping that continues to go on and Hillary is walking a very fine line, she knows that if Obama doesn’t beat McCain she will get the blame for carrying on with this…

Also this will make it very hard for her to run in 2012 she will be laughed at.

When Hillary was up in super delegates it was the super delegates that mattered and not the popular Vote
Why because Obama had the popular vote. But now that he is up in everything she wants Florida and Michigan to count because it’s now the popular vote that counts that is going to win this. (It’s flip flopping)

Hillary and Obama agreed Florida and Michigan would not be allowed because they broke the rules, but when Hillary could see that she wasn’t going to win the nomination that’s when Florida and Michigan were important.

Every card has been played in this Race on both sides… I can agree to disagree with a lot of you here. This isn’t about Me or You it is about BEATING the BUSH Republicans!!

I saw a comment on another site that made a really good point–she claims Florida & Michigan are being disenfranchised. But in her use of the popular vote count, she's ignoring the caucus states, thereby disenfranchising them.

I just don’t understand why any TRUE democrat would put another REPUBLICAN in office after these last 7 years, but I guess when all us Dems start feeling more of the PINCH that’s when we will vote our party but I truly hope it’s not to late and that we are not selfish like the Republicans say we are.

I agree that Hillary is a better candidate "today if she would have been this candidate" throughout her campaign she would have WON!!

Whoa whoa whoa, slow down Bill. Maybe people wouldn't have denigrated your wife so much if they hadn't seen the campaign with the best chance of smashing the primary opposition apart in a long time run so poorly and so arrogantly that it lost to someone unknown outside of Illinois. She had money, she had superdelegates, she had name recognition, she had the poll numbers, she even had you- And she planned everything so poorly and picked campaign staff so poorly that she threw it all away.

Shame.

Yeah it is Bill. So why did you do it. And your wife playing the gender card when that is an absolutely ridiculous claim is just as bad. You people should be ashamed of yourselves!

If Clintons are there to help BLACKS( always they claim so), why does Hillary or Bill not prepared to help Obama?

I agree completely with Carlos from Canada - its has been a 3 person against 1 campaign. The Clintons had 3 people campaigning daily and their name had already given them an advantage. Bill kept complaining about the money spent by Obama. You do have to advertise more for a new product. Common sense.

There are WOMEN writing to the DNC to get them to endorse H. Clinton with Obama as vice. I hope there are as many Obama women writing to the DNC to express their desire to have Obama at the top of the ticket with maybe H. as his vice.

In H. Clinton's initial primaries, she was still under the Limbaugh decree, so we don't really know how that 12% would now vote.

B. Clinton apparently doesn't like the fact that Obama is compared to him when he was young. Being part of the senior citizen group makes the Clinton's out of touch. Their WHITE vote (other than the over 65) will vote for Obama. He has already proven that. Obama should have campaigned in WV and KY; it would have made a difference.

People are ready for a change. I think the superdelegates are feeling that way also. Many of them have seen Old Washington and are ready for a new style.

McCain is no patriot. He is a hypocrite who will give us 4 more years of failed Bush policies that have destroyed the economy, the environment, our civil rights and have produced a war based on a lie that has put us and our children billions of dollars in debt.

What is wrong with both Hillary and Barack fans who continue this ridiculous fighting? Have you lost sight of the goal? Are you so naive as to allow McCain to waltz in because of your pettiness.

For no other reason that to stop McCain from winning and then choosing the next Justices for the Supreme Court, all Democrats and people who do not want any more of Bush's failed policies need to stop the childish antics and come together to defeat the McCain/Bush.

Barbara,

I fully agree with you in just about everything, but one of the areas that I am extremely concerned about is this:

Why do you think that Hillary would be the better choice? Hillary brings so much unsavoury baggage to this election, that I cannot in all fairness see why she would want to be in this Presidential race
Oh….. Oh…… Sorry…… I just thought of one reason, and boy is it a dandy!

If Hillary should win the Presidential Election, it would be a very simple matter, for her to Appoint Judges of her choice, so now they can throw out the current court case of Paul vs Clinton, or even if this does not work, she will simply "Pardon Herself"

The race card being played by obama and crew..is so obvious.

The Clintons are known far & wide for their work on behalf of all minorities.

Bill was referring to demographics and statistics. Not demoralizing obama or Jesse Jackson. Statistics are talked about ALL the time in politics. But it is immediate that he is racist! People act like he had a history of racism and that is why it was so believable!

Yeah right, that is why Toni Morrison (Black Author) called him the first black President!!

Hillary, speaking about a President has to be courageous, like Pres. Johnson. You have to have the courage to sign in the law, such as the civil rights amendment.

Immediately, obama HIS SELF says "I am disappointed she didn't give MLK the credit he deserves". Enflaming the whole black community against her!

She was speaking of Presidential COURAGE, NOT CREDIT!!

I think part of the black community was looking for a reason to turn their backs on the Clintons for an imagined sin. That way they had a "reason" to vote obama who is less qualified, and not make it look racist!! There is NO other explanation for the sudden turn against a couple that has DEVOTED their entire lives to minorities, poor people, and causes directly related to the well being of Black Americans!

Like the $250 million Bill Clinton spent in HARLEM, and then he has his offices there. In the heart of a community he reviles!! I think not.
People need to quit with all this racist crap. It is getting really old.

I bet I will be called racist now too, for speaking out against injustice, kind of like white America did on behalf of civil rights for African Americans! Grow up America!

McCain picking a VIP ? did " THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX" mean any thing to him. of course not, does he need Glen Beck to tell him that Ebay was not the most marvelous creation of the century ?
Oh dear John.

What is revolting, is that the Clinton's are doing absolutely everything to derail the democrats for the general election so that Hillary can run again in 2012. That's what's revolting. The popular vote is not how the nominee is chosen. It's a lie, a bold face lie that the media and CNN are going along with because it's fun and profitable to allow these power hungry egomaniacs to blow their hot air. THAT'S WHY SO MANY STATES HOLD CAUCUSES…BECAUSE IT'S THE DELEGATES STUPID! Those are the rules of the party. And if you think it's unfair it's only because the Clinton's didn't plan to contest every state…you see she felt that they had the nomination taken care of because they are so connected you know, have so many friends, like Richardson, Edwards, Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi, Carter, Gore…all who are in the Obama camp, because he is going to win, by the rules.
Clinton does not want to be V.P., she wants to do everything within her power to make sure that Obama doesn't win in a landslide victory, that would mean that the Clinton's time is over, and they just can't stand it, they're going to hold their breath until they turn blue.

President Clinton, Obama played the race card to the hilt and blame it on you. During debate in Nevada, Tim Russert showed Obama memos from his campaign to use the race card against Hillary.

From South Carolina all the way to EVERY state OBAMA USE THE RACE CARD with so much gusto he thought he can get away with it.

HELL NO! OBAMA WE'RE NOT LETTING YOU GET AWAY WITH IT! THIS IS NOT CHICAGO!

Hillary' Clinton's Plan B:
MI And FL - Somehow eveyone else knew to remove there name from the ballot except Hillary.

It is sad that the best person to be president has still got the forever unforgiving self rightous people pointing at the Clinton's as being awlful because Bill didn't tell the truth to the counrty about something between husband and wife.
Don't you fools relize that no matter how morally depraved Bill's sin, the Clinton's are heads above any on you. Hillary forgave him.
Doesn't it say somewhere"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone".
Pity Hillary really is the real thing. To bad there are to many blinded by the mote in their own eye.

i was a huge hillary fan but i had to take my support elsewhere becuase:

* hillary has turned extremely negative (majority of voters polled agree - even many of her own voters)

* hillary's refusal to gracefuly bow out of the running has been a major turn off (look how the republics left the scene as numbers worked against them)

* hillary is using fuzzy logic/math to confuse people and have them think she could still win (her claim to being ahead on the popular vote excludes several state caucuses and includes FL and MI…two states she agreed were out of line at the begining of the campaign after they violated DNC rules)

* yesterday, she held a news interview to openly play the gender card. when she was the frontrunner she complained that the other candidated were tough on her…YOU ARE THEIR COMPETITION! YOUR WERE WINNING…just as now obama gets all the flack from mccain becasue obama is the front runner. mccain does not even mention hillary anymore. hillary can not complain that there is too much focus on her, then that there is too little…

* decorum calls for civility - she should NEVER have said that mccain would make a better president than obama - NO FRIENDLY FIRE - you simply don't do that…sad. meanwhile, obama urges his supporters to vote for hillary if she is nominated because his world view is more in line with hillary's than with mccain's…

* hillary has 0$ to battle mccain…mismanagement?

* hillary's comment: "[a USA Today poll] that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me." what??? and "clinging" was elitist was condescending how?

* hillary (and mccain) claimed that obama was an elitist…a man who just payed off his college loans (sounds like an average joe to me) and once live on food stamps…meanwhile, hillary (and mccain) is a multimillionare (college loans…food stamps…what are those?). do these two know what elite means?????????

* last hit to mccain - a harp back to the republican debates - "what would ronald regan do [about iran, syria, cuba]?" (think: ussr…i believe republican precious regan engaged the ussr - and it HAD nukes! BIGGER threat!)

i *used* to favor hillary…until a brighter alternative appeared. go obama

Hillary, don't give up. We're not giving up on you.
Till the end of the line.

The old Bill that I know has changed, the new Bill Clinton and family will resort to any thing in order to cling to power. It is time for the Clinton family to wake up and accept the reality. GO OBAMA this is your time, the Clinton era is over for now, until Chelsea is ready for office

The Clintons are the masters of spin. If Obama was the first to play the race card, where is the proof? And why is no one paying any attention to Bill, except late night comics who are just elated anytime he opens his mouth.

I switched over to Obama months ago. Everyday that Hillary and Bill open their mouths, I remember why.

the clintons cant stand that the torch has been past down to new generation of americans,they will get what they deserve,if u keep on eating horney and decide not to stop at some point u will eventually end up with diarrhea

Obama stated on May 18th , that Iran is no threat at all and is just a tiny little country with no power at all , going to great lenght to redicule McCain and middle east policies that view Iran as an unstable country aiming to get nuclear weapons.
If you haven't seen the video clip , it is a must see.
Like an immature school boy , he is talking about it jokingly..
Well , 2 days later , May 20th , with a changed demeanor , chin up , he tells another crowd about the extreme threat that Iran is posing and will be dealt with accordingly.
This is the man , you are hoping to be your next President .??
Obama is a man of many words , he'll tell you whatever you want to hear..!!!!

Someone needs to tell Bill to shut the eff up!

He's just making things worse for Hillary.

Yeah, right. Like the Clintons are not "cold-blooded, calculating, and manipulating." They just love being this deep in the hole because it just draws media attention, which is what they both live for. The only thing that bothers me more, is how many people buy into their games.

The Clintons have played the race card and used scared tactics to discredit Obama. Bill stated Obama getting the presidency was like a fairy tale. Hillary has repeatedly stated I would not have stayed in Rev. Wright's church for 20 years over and over and over, and over. Her next statement was Obama’s affiliation with William Ayres, the terrorist. (These are some of the reasons why the Appalachians are not voting for Obama.) However, Bill pardoned two members of William Ayres' Weatherman group. Who is better Bill for pardoning them or Obama attempting to help the children? Hillary thought she had the presidency wrapped up because she was Hillary Clinton. She and Bill are still in a state of shock that Obama a two year senator beat her. What experience does Hillary have as a president? We have Bush who had experience and he has run this country into the country. So much for experience!

Also, I am going to be like Hillary supporters. If she wins the nominee for president by some miracle, I will sit this one out.

Whatever Billary says dumb people listen. MI and FL were not included right from the beginning of the campaign.Now all of sudden Billary wants to include it jiust because she cant win the delegates.What a Crock…Let FL and MI re-election again.She may win FL but not MI. By the way I am an American Indian livng in MI.

I absolutely despise the Clintons

I would address a particular demographic among Obama's supporters, those with a Degree. It is a Timeless truth that Institutes of higher learning impart knowledge and not Wisdom. That fact is abundantly evident in this Campaign. What percentage of the graduates became Rhode's Scholars as President Clinton is?
To those making comments with obssessive emotion, your comment is as meaningful as the level of intellect used in composing it. I see no evidence of Christian spirit on these pages. Comments here and elsewhere are from are the same voters that tolerate Drugs, Pornography, Gambling, Corruption, at every level in American society, then they utter a dim witted "Why do we have these problems".

Hey SWIGG:
amen to that.

Yeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

WHOM changed the rules? Is the truth being told on CNN? Is Lowering the numbers required, or only seating 48 states, or desiding whom can run in Nov. with the votes of Super (somethings) that no one voted on or for fair.

We do need a rules change, and Please report what it is; It is Called 'WE THE PEOPLE', and thats not happening or being reported.

Bad Math and forgetting to properly report this mess as 'To Close to Call' makes me really mad at the whole process.

OOMMGGG!!! They both need to STOP!! Hilary is throwing the gender card in the ring with her hintch women Ferreraro and Feminst groups. And now Bill is opening his pie whole!! He just said not to long ago "They played the race card on me". And Hillary said that "Obama's numbers with hard working White Americans is slipping". Are these two serious and if that was bad enough now they are using thier daughter for sympathy votes!! She agreed with the rules of the DNC at the begining of the campaign, she agreed with the DNC rules when they said the MI and FL votes would not count, not all of a sudden she is comparing herself to Aboloshinist who freed slaves…if she cared so much to have everyones vote count then she should fight to have a re-vote and add Boracks name to the ballot in MI along time ago and not now when she needs them in order to stay in the race. These two will stop at nothing to regain power.

Clinton recalls 2000 Florida recount in push to count votes

To my recollection, Bush stole the election. He was never elected as President. If you demand to count FL and MI as is, then you would be trying to steal this nomination too. We played by the rules so why don't you?

Go away Bill! Nobody has done so much harm to their reputation in such a short time. You will not support the eventual nominee with those kind of comments and it proves how divisive the Clinton campagin. This divide-n-conquer strategy has no good purpose and great legacy has been tarnished.

Senator Obama is exactly the person we need for these times and for the situations we face. Some folks think there are folks out here who cannot see through their schemes. Perception has become the new reality for a great deal of persons, so politicians spin, tell half truths, lie with a view of changing our perception of things. Pres. Clinton is a master politician. He is good, but his spin will not work this time. There is a Higher Power at work in our midst, and the bluster and charm have been vetoed. We need that which helps to lift the nation spiritually, and not just economically.
The Nation needs truth, integrity, and spiritual depth in order to set the climate for a new era. God bless Senator Obama and spread a wall of protection around him.

Never saw 3 worse sore loosers this really speaks well for our children to observe first hand.
Hillary has thrown her kitchen sink strategy from the beginning and we are tired of her nonsence,nasty remarks,her many Bosnia lies infact this never ends from race card ,Bosnia lies,bragging on "her McCain" ,flag pins "noticed she never wore one" her math padding scores is the limit.
Since Hillary also agreed,/signed for the Michigan /.Florida not to campaign or votes to be counted is this her normal behavior to break rules when she sees she is loosing ?

And Bill do you really think the name McClinton / Bush are the only USA citizens capable to run the oval office ? if not fallow our movement we have a great man by the name of Barack Obama /he also has a very lovely Michell and 2 daughters .

No hanky Panky in Oval office not this time .

Hillary must think the rest of the world are not hard working she keeps on " her white hardworking voters " .
Well. we have news for her we work hard as well.
Go obama we love you and your family.08 /12

Who is bank-rolling Obama?? The ignorant writers on this blog who say such terrible things about Hillary?? Why did this "lying" business start about Hillary? It doesn't make any sense. Obama isn't devisive?? Was that stupid speech in Philadelphia necessary? He's the one who brought up race!!!! Bill Clinton's remarks in S.C. were true. Jesse Jackson DID win S.C.-that's all Bill said.

I believe Hillary has set the prospect of a woman president back at least a couple of generations. It will take that long for the history of her chicanery to be forgotten. she's probably doing her best to destroy future women's quest for the presidency.If she can't make history, then neither will another woman.

I am right with you Bill. It was a cold and calculated attack by camp obama. And, the fools can't see it. I am beginning to think it isn't votes that give us our candidate but who "THEY" want, and this was decided awhile ago.

HILLARY the bionic candidate.

Bill was thinking outloud, which is what is GREAT about him.
All political analysts, and Bill is one of the two best, think in terms of voting blocks. We voters think of ourselves in terms of who we like. Bill was being a political analyst and some voters took it personally becase as far as they were concerned they liked their candidate because they liked him, not because of his race. They paid attention to him, he spoke to them. Bill noticed that. Oops. Suddenly we had two definitions of racism: one structural and analytical and one personal and perceptual. Then Obama has his PA speech and says it's time for the nation to engage in a dialog about race. Fine. Good: it is about time. However, I have not heard him take himself up on that.

If we live in a racist society, then we are all racist. So one side does not get to use the word against the other. The point of the United States is to accept one another.

Bill Clinton and Obama are nothing a like as he said in the article. Obama has integrity something that Bill Clinton will never have.

ya know what BIll I voted for you in beleived in you but your male machissmo is continually ruinng Hillary;s chances, the more he opens his mouth the worse he makes it for a srrong woman to win. and as hard as it si to believe i think that bringing up the race card, and yes Hillary did it by saying that " white people" support her is rerehensible, Yes race has become importanlly but not majorily an issue, BILL Hillary is runn ing NOT you, we already respected your wife when she was strong enough to repel your indiscretions and remain married to you, but you yet want to bring her down again????, as they say behind every weak man is a strong woman, that said because Hillary fell into the dirty play books of politics I cannot support her, even thou I have much respect, I chose to belive in a message of HOPE, of and you can't changes the rules to suit you. Hillary said the magic # was 2025, now thats changed and you claim the popular vote??? the # don't add up, so Please retain your dignity!!!

Why hasn't any journalist asked why more educated voters are not voting for Clinton. Why is Appalachia which overwhelming voted for Clinton so disproportionately disadvantaged economically? That electorate has also voted republican consistently since the 60s. Doesn't seem like the republicans who supposedly share their "values" have helped them out of their troubles.
Maybe the so called "educated" voters are smart enough to understand when a politician is playing politics as usual. Like the gas tax holiday for example. It is not a plus when people who are less educated vote for a savvy politician who uses them as a springboard to power. The educated voter can analyze ambiguous political speak and make a more informed decision, not just an emotional one.

Tell em for us Bill…I cant believe how CNN my used to be favorite news, has betrayed us in this election along with others…Hell we cant even watch TV anymore its become so bad…Thats OK when this is said and done we as a family are canceling cable altogether…why would I continue to give money to someone that doesnt have my best interest at heart let alone hear my voice…Hillary Clinton will always be my President and God Bless that beautiful daughter Chels…Thank you for fighting for America and Im sorry these losers in this country are so cruel to your wonderful family

Rise Hillary Rise

so it's okay for Hill to play the sexism card but suddenly Bill gets touchy about the race card? Wait a minute… wait a minute… what the heck is Bill even talking about!?

Bill - please stop ruining your legacy. I actually liked you as a president, but dude you are really starting to look like a tool

President Clinton is right! Hillary truly cares about this country and wants to see us be a strong nation again. She wants to be president for the right reasons.
Go Hillary!

I have said this so many times. The Democratic Party is about to be Hood Winked by the Clintons. Thier Goal is to break away from the Democratic Party after Jun 3. The Clintons are going to run as Independents or undera new Political Party and turn Michigan and Florida against the democratic Party. Hillary is going to attempt to make History by acting as if she is standing up for the rights of all voters.

I am so disapointed at many Americans that are supporting the issues of Breaking Rules. Is this a proncipal that we are trying to teach our children?

The Repubilcans are laughing to the White House at us.

I cant believe no one sees that Hillary will call her Party the Conservitive Democratic Independent Party.

Fellow Americans keep your eyes open.

The only group of peopl to blame for tgis is the Super Delegates. They are allowing this to happen.
Just remember that you heard this from a Political Blogger first.

Even with a former President campaigning daily for her Hillary is not winning; this is unprecedented. Please be a Gracious Professional and concede for the good of the party as Romney was.

They are outdone that Obama has won with little negative campaigning. Obama never said Hillary can't get the educated vote or the black vote or the young vote or the progressive vote or that Bill got impeached in the house, instead Hillary mentioned Farakhan and distributed a pic of Obama in Kenyan ceremonial clothes making him out to be a Muslim, showed bin ladin in a commercial to instill fear, distributed flyers with a shotgun and Obama's picture on it, paid Mexicans in Texas and Blacks in Ohio to round up voters, said Obama xeroxed his speeches, called Richardson Judas and on and on and on… They even said Obama was unelectable and hardworking whites would not vote for him, compared Obama to Jessie Jackson…smear, smear, smear. They continue to change the game by moving the goal posts. They are broke and will go bankrupt to take Obama down with them. Talk about poor loosers.

Half of Hillary supporters are racist. For instance, the resentments in West Virginia and Kentucky. Anyway Obama is going to make it.

Race card will backfire in november. This is what raised Obama and that is what will drop Obama. Why? Because GOP does not plan on african american votes. H Clinton could not help open her mouth about race card but McCain will.

One powerful Republican California state senator once told me that Democrats can never win because while they do not like Republicans because they envy their money, Democrats never unite because the fight among themselves like junk yard dogs after an old dry bone.

PROVE HIM WRONG!!!!

CNN is the CLINTON NEWS NETWORK. Why is the press in this country and particularly CNN so beholden to the Clintons. Maybe CNN benefited alot from the media consolidation deals the Clinton administration initiated. If Senator Obama were in Senator Clinton's position, I don't think the press would have been so patient.
Hillary Clinton has failed to win the majority of pledged delegates, but she and her praise singers in the press say that she is more electable how's that logical when she cannot even win the nomination. CNN spends the entire day talking about how Obama cannot win white voters. The last time I checked, Obama is where he is today thanks in large part to white voters. Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Minnesota and several other states are majority white.
One last thing, Obama does not have to pick Hillary Clinton as a running mate. If Clinton had been the nominee, I don't think CNN and the others would be pushing a story for her to pick Obama as a running mate.

Actually, I think the Clintons would try anything to win the Democratic nomination. Honestly, they have no credibility on this front. The Clinton campaign agreed to the Democratic party rules that delegates from Michigan and Florida would not count because they moved up their primaries. Senator Clinton and her campaign were all in agreement until she found herself way behind with no chance of winning the nomination unless she succeeds in getting the party to change the rules. That would be a huge mistake. Millions of new voters would be so turned-off by that move that the Democratic party would not only lose them for the fall election, but probably for years to come.

Luckily, I don't believe anybody is buying this (which makes it all so much more tragic). Everybody agrees this is over. Senator Clinton and those in her inner circle have a bad case of denial. It is time for her to find a graceful way to exit the race. I guess we all thought that was where she was heading, but I guess her belief that this was supposed to be a coronation (not a nomination) kicked in again. Too bad for her. It only makes her look small and desperate.

The Obama/Media coalition has been at it since day one of this election, trying to construct Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton as "racists". It's been a pathetic and revolting strategy indeed, especially given the outstanding contribution these 2 people have given to the advancement of civil rights in this country. Barack Obama knew that his only way to turn African-American voters AGAINST the Clintons was to try and construct them as "racists". The race-baiting that his campaign engaged in prior to the South Carolina primary with the 4 page memo sent to media outlets - and which he admitted to - was thoroughly appalling. Obama has used the African-American community for his own political purposes and I find this deeply offensive. As a white person with a black partner I feel outraged how Barack Obama has tried to use racism to elevate his own flawed candidacy. What is also equally disturbing is the way in which CNN actively FUELS this by referring to the voters in KY and WV as "racists" simply because they voted for Hillary Clinton. So what do we call all of the black people that voted for Barack Obama in North Carolina, Virginia and Washington DC - do we call them racist for not supporting Hillary Clinton? Wake up America, Barack Obama is playing the race card and too many people are falling for it!

“There have been times when I thought I was literally lost in a fun house."

They are in a fun house alright. One they themselves created with all the SPIN coming outta their campaign it's no wonder Bill feels like he's at the carnival.

I would love to see Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.

I think she can do this job hands down. She has been on the world stage in a variety of venues. She knows alot of people. She knows the ups and downs of diplomacy.

She has Madelaine Albright, former Sec of State, on her side and someone who can be a mentor.

Hillary has a stellar constitution and I can just see her across the table from many world figures and their aides.

She is one tough lady!

Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State!

clear eyes,

You're accusing Obama of stealing Clintons plans??? Are you serious. Who do you think she got her health care plan from? If you don't know just ask Elizabeth Edwards. She will tell you that it was John Edwards who released the same plan months before Hillary released hers.
Why do you think she decided to have someone over Poverty in her administration? To "appease" John Edwards.
As for Obama I've followed this from way back and compared all the candidates plans early on. I can tell you Obama has never changed his.
Clinton changes her style, positions, slogans(Yes We Will …oh wow wonder how they ever came up with that one??) heck even her accent based on polls and what part of the country she's in.

Give it up Clintonites your arguments are sounding more crazy by the minute.

cnn you should be ashamed of yourselves, you are one of the biggest contributers to this hateful bias rigged from the start election. shame on Donna Brazile a Sd and a major player in the dnc and she calls Hillary supporters vile and repugnant!!! She really does not expect us to believe she is still uncommited,right? shame on you all!!!

Obama used the race card again and again. I can recall that the black congressman. When he appear at TV, basically before highly populated black population states, such as SD, VA and ND, etc. If I am not wrong, who can explain to me why?

Keep talking, Bill.

He used to be the most desirable voice for the Democratic Party. Now he's the most desirable voice for Barack Obama.

"Change you can believe in!"

This two are DISGUSTING and I used to ADORE Bill Clinton. What happened?

The only thing revolting is his aversion to the truth and the tactics he and his wife are employing to destroy it.

Bill Clinton never made a racist statement during campaign. Bill and Hillary have always done good for blacks and all races. Bill Clinton's word were difinitely twisted to make him sound racist for political gain. Bill Clinton only stated what the news media stated and continue to state about 90% of blacks people voting for Obama. That's not racist, that's factual.

Democrats Unite………….Behind Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Good Night God Bless and Sweet Dreams

BY HANGING ON, AGAINST ALL ODDS, HILLARY IS BEING MALICIOUS. SHE HOPES TO PHYSICALLY WEAR OUT OBAMA BY KEEPING HIM CAMPAIGNING, AND ALSO BLEED HIS SUPPORTERS FINANCIALLY. THERE IS NO NOBLE CAUSE THAT SHE IS CHAMPIONING, LIKE SHE CLAIMS. ALSO, SHE HAS NOTHING TO LOOSE, SO SHE'LL THROW EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING AT HIM. SHE'S TRULY DEVIOUS, MALICIOUS, EVIL.

Good Night, God Bless and Sweet Dreams

Democrats Unite:

Hillary Clinton or John McCain

Thanks Bill. The race card is really a revolting strategy. I am sick and tired of being called a racist because I voted for the best candidate of my opinion.

If Obama and his wife had the garbage that's in Sen. Clinton and Bill Clinton life, this junk would of been a major issue on the canpaign trail from day one! There white so it's a none issue.

That's what happens when you have a reputation for not telling the truth. And it sure as hell wasn't the devil that made you do it!

Democrats Unite………….Behind Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Good Night God Bless and Sweet Dreams

Bill Clinton doesn't have anything in common with Barak Obama and definitely doesn't understand anything about Obama or what he's doing. I must have missed the news when they reported that Obama cheated on his wife in the oval office, lied under oath and to the american people and then was kicked out of office. I wish the media would just stop talking to him. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton would say and do anything to get what they want and they have proven that to america over and over again. When Bill and Hillary go to the DNC to demand that they include the votes from Michigan and Florida I hope they throw them out on her can. I don't want those votes counted. I didn't vote in the Michigan primary because I knew it didn't count and my candidate wasn't on the ballot. We all knew it long before the Primary. Hillary signed the same agreement as everyone else that said that the votes wouldn't count. Both Bill and Hillary need to drop their claims of sexism, disinfranchised voters, the majority of the popular vote and any other excuse they can come up with and admit that they have damaged the democratic party and distroyed Hillarys political career. But what would you expect from a couple of liers and cheaters then to keep lying and cheating!

Lets all remember these comments AGAINST president Clinton,a candidates spouse, I hope we hear no more whining fromObama or his supporters when the comments are aimed at Michelle Obama.

Sally

How do you know such detailed information about what is going on inside the Obama campaign? The answer is you don't. You're either just bold faced lying or you're casually spreading internet BS rumors.

This is just one of a number of charges I have read leveled against the Obama campaign by people who could never have such inside information. Do you people critically analyze anything? Or do you just swallow it whole as long as it supports your (totally incorrect) preconceived notions?

Is this the kind of crap that is spread around on HillaryClinton.com?

You're our only hope for a democratic president Hillary! PLEASE don't abandon us to that racist man with a dark agenda!

The Presidential Campaign has become so ridiculous it is just one step away from total lunacy! It's been and still is a three ring Media Circus from Newspapers, T.V. Blog Sites to coffee shops and small town bars!

The only certainty left is if John McCain wins this election and the Repbublicans take over the White House again, America hasn't got a chance of a snowball in, to ever regain their Image, Standing, or Credabilty on the World Stage. They are done. And the Mid East will
be praising Alla or whoever they praise for next ten decades as all tall buildings fall !

Personally I just don't care. Keep on Keeping On Americans with the hate, racism, and indifference to what really matters. As I truly don't believe there is any hope in cracking through the shell of those who just don't GET the magnitude of this race and the world division, earth shattering, bomb blasting outcome that will prevail given the wrong choice (McCain) is victorious come November. Believe me Race and Gender ain't what's important. President Bush is the largest Attestment to that fact ! Just ask the OBGYN's that can't show their love to women.

Democrats Unite…………behind Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yeah!!

Good Night, Sweet Dreams

How do people ever accuse the Clinton's of playing the "race" card when Hillary and Bill have done so much for the African-American. Bill and Hillary have made it a central part of each of their lives and political platform to serve the needs of African-Americans. Their support for civil rights has been unbelievable, and to think that some people would accuse them for the race card is unreal.

Obama has played the race card from the beginning and has managed to divide this country worse then I have ever seen. He has evoked MLK so many times it is unreal. He stole MLK's "the urgency of now." I have a dream was played in SC and Oprah was there talking about MLK and black people. He could not even give best wishes to Kennedy without mentioning Civil Rights. I have never heard so much about black people as I have this election. Bill was right about SC, anybody black could win that state. How many times have you heard Obama sound off about being a 46 year old black man being able to run for President? Michelles' "ain't no black people in Iowa." That was in the beginning so you tell me who played the race card.. Every speech he gives has racial undertones. The audacity of hope is all about race.

Oh, and Silly Obama above:

Likewise here, Obama, NEVER. Even with Hillary on the ticket. Why should a better, more experienced candidate take second place because she is a woman. Don't accept it Hillary.

I, and many I know, will vote McCain. The mistreatment of our most experienced candidate by the media, a sector or party bigwigs and the uneducated, rude, mean sexist, ageist Obama supporters have revolted us.

so now clint eastwood is being called racist by a black man who says that clint needs to put more black people in his films? omg! see? who i ask who are the real racists? now that a black man is running for president i guess the black people have found their voice?

Practice saying this: President McCain.

Lets not forget Bill Clintons Fun House. B jobs in the White house.

What A disgrace to America

It was reported today in the Jerusalem Post,that the U.S is planning an attack on Iran before Bushs term is up.This was an AP report but no one has the guts to report it.It was on page three of the Star Telegram here in the States.

So Bill calling himself revolting is interresting.

What I would Like to see happen when Hillary gets royaly scwered over by the Democratic Party because of Florida and Michigan. Is that She and Bill would tell the Dems, to take a flying BLEEP. And, then accept a invitation from John McCain to become his VP running mate. Hillary And Bill Clinton dont need the Democratic Party at all. Its the Democratic Party that needs them. I would love to see the day the two parties could come together on one Presidential ticket.

go hillary don't let obama steal this election cause you lead in popular vote. are clinton backers really arguing this point. please fellow democrats go and read the dnc rules book, no where in this nominating process does it say the winner will be chosen by popular vote. its the delegates stupid, to borrow a line from bill clinton himself, nothing else and the underdog barrack obama has clearly won over the favorite clinton by the rules.

Anonymous,

You have obviously been visiting on another planet, if you can say that CNN…… i.e…..Clinton News Network, is biased towards Barack, The Clinton News Network always work so hard, to show Hillary in the best possible light, that their viewers/listeners have actually given them the special name "Clinton News Network". If you were asleep, that's okay, we understand, but please, now that you are awake, please pay attention to CNN's reporting! By the way why do you feel that you have to post your comments under the signature Anonymous? Freedom of speech remember?

It is so funny that he would say that. He is the one who started this race trouble with his comments about Obama in S.C.

Hillary had long said that the purpose of the super delegates was to protect the Democratic party from any sort of "mistake" by the electewd delegates. The super delegates are elected officials, like U. S Senators.
They are long time partly officials who have served their states. They are exPresidents and exPresidental candidates who were voted to run to be President as elected by the delegates in the past. THEY ARE THE LEADERS OF THE PARTY.

OBAMA 308 CLINTON 279

Any questions?

Robert in Toronto, ON 11:18pm ET

You gotta go Back to Post Iowa.."This Is the Bigest Fairy Tale I've ever Seen" Bill J. Klinton.

"Martin Luther King Jr was just the Dreamer..LBJ the Doer" Hillary R. Klinton

And then "Hard working people, White people.." Hillary R. Klinton

Now today's "Revolting Strategy"

Why the Klinton Klan Kan't Stop ..? I dunno..:-(

Hillary get out of the race for god's sake all u r doing is stalling so u can get ur crooked hands on the election results. Obama, Hillary, and McCain are all fake candidates with no real change, but that being said obama is by far the best choice of the 3 Hillary is a terrible person and would only increase corrupt government.

Hillary, take it to the convention!!

Whites in this Country still believe that what they say, or thier opion is more valid then otrher National Groups of Americans.

The level of denial is so amazing by most White Americans.

It is so transparent that the Clintons have used Race as a means to divide the Country. I no more believe Bill about his comments in the article, then when he stated that "He did not have sexual relations with that Woman" Monica Lewynsky.

It is clear that the Clintons are going to do anything they can to get in office as President.

I am not saying that Mr. Obama is the most qualified Canidate, I am saying that the Clintons are liers. It is well documented by many Politicle Observers that the Clintons have beemn injecting Race into the Primaries.

What is so sad is that White Americans still believe they are Superior to Blacks and other National Groups of Americans

"Silly Obama May 21st, 2008 11:03 pm ET

All of the uneduacated simple white Democrats that you, Howard Dean took for granted, will be voting for John McCain for President.

So chalk up another loss for Deans Dozen. I would rather die than vote for Obama. All of my Democrat friends say the same. In reality I am glad, because Dean you turned your back on us, shoved Obama down our throats, now we're throwing up.

Seems like you old school Dems, Dean, Kennedy, Dodd, Kerry really pissed us off this time. You turned your back on the Democrat's most viable candidate, Hillary. Now we are going to return the favor. I am going to turn my back on YOUR CHOICE Howard Dean, and will be voting Republican for the first time in my life.

At least I know McCain is a patriot, has pride, and shows and has shown his loyalty to his country. Therefore I will vote for McCain with a smile on my face."

Wow, some more insight from the Clinton gene pool… oops, I mean cesspool.

Obama doesn't need to play the race card when his supporters and staff do it for him. He doesn't play dirty, he has people do it for him.

These ploys of the Clinton's used to make me sick. But now I feel like it's old news. They really have nothing new up their sleeves. They just keep trying the same old things. It's gotten so stale that I don't even read many of the articles about them anymore. When I do, it's just in one ear and out the other. I cannot envision either of them running our country.

GOBAMA

Let's see…IF I was republican and IF there were no caucus's and IF they change the rules that were agreed upon by myself and everyone else…I WOULD BE WINNING, SO I SHOULD BE THE NOMINEE.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

cc..Slick Willy

I just don't follow the logic of some of Senator Clinton's supporters in this blog. They are not being completely honest with themselves and many of their arguments lack rationale. I get it if you prefer Clinton over Obama…but to make up things about Obama or resort to calling him every nasty name you can think of as a way to justify your belief that Senator Clinton is the best suited candidate is not just utterly ridiculous, but vindictive and hateful as well.

I've read "Obama played the race card first", but nothing never follows that statement to explain the how or when. Is he being accused of playing the race card just by virtue of him being interracial. I've read Obama is a racist. That again defies logic… the man is interracial (black & white). He's constantly argued that a person's race shouldn't matter. His speech spoke to issues and concerns on race held by blacks, whites, hispanics, etc. In short, he said we need to get past those fears, the anger & hang-ups and work together. You all heard it. Maybe you refused to be believe that he was sincere, but you all heard it.

Senator Clinton made a stupid remark about being the most electable candidate because she has more white hard-working American voters. When has Senator Obama said anything that remotely resembles that? When has he said that he is more electible because of the votes of one segment of the population? Senator Clinton hasn't even apologized for that statement. I watched interview after interview of WV voters stating out loud that they won't vote for Obama because he's black. I don't believe that Senator Clinton is a racist. However, she has certainly made racially devisive statements that made racism seem acceptable by playing on the unfounded fears and the bigotry of those voters who were more inclined to vote against Obama simply because of his race. Yet, so many of her supporters refuse to hold her accountable for it. I don't hold her responsible for the blatant racism voiced by her supporters. But she had a responsibility to affirmatively state that racism should not be tolerated under any circumstances and that she is firmly against it. But she didn't do that because she wanted their votes. She's not stupid. She knew exactly what she was doing when she did it. Neither candidate is responsible for racism and neither one of them are racists. However, Senator Clinton has played on the racism harbored by some of her voters in an insidious manner.

Throughout this campaign Senator Clinton has changed her tune and made irrational arguments whenever something has not gone her way. Every time one of her or President Clinton's arguments fail.. Obama is somehow made responsible (e.g. he played the race card, he stood in the way of Michigan & Florida voters, he is a sexist, he runs the media, etc.) The truth is he ran a better organized campaign, won the most delegates and states. He has not discounted any of the states he lost (unlike Senator Clinton) and he always congratulated Senator Clinton on her wins (again unlike Senator Clinton). Some of the Clinton supporters on this blog are not being intellectually honest.

To both Obama & Clinton Supporters: Being bitter, acting like sore losers, and resorting to namecalling is counterproductive and in no way helps either candidate or the democratic party.

If she will fight for China and India, she can just go there, we'd be satisfieid.

As for Wal-Mart–no dice. Love Wal-Mart

OBAMA for President

Bill already admitted he's a poor loser. I was hoping Hillary would bow out gracefully but it looks like she prefers to go out kicking and screaming. I'm gonna have to tune this stuff out. It ain't gonna be pretty.

Clinton's comments could engender sympathy if not for the fact that he did the "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina too" shtick in broad daylight, on multiple occasions. Once again, Clinton is not being truthful with the American people.

Michigan Voter !!!: what are you going on about? absolutely no substance to your posts. you're taking up precious space.

Hillary, stay in keep fighting for Florida and Michigan. Don't give up. Miracles happen.

Bill Clinton visits these small towns on behalf of his wife and tells voters that THEY DO NOT WANT TO VOTE FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE LOOKS DOWN ON THEM—I imagine most of these people trust his word and therefore they vote for Hillary Clinton.

Jadyn May 21st, 2008 11:32 pm ET

This whining, complaining, conspiring and playing on the sympathy of supporters is tiring and destroying the party.
_________________
you have just described barak and michelle obama!

Can you imagine having these dreadful CLINTONS as VP? Obama would have to be crazy to pick them as VP….. and he's not crazy

there isnt anything that hillary or bill said that was racist (read up on the definition of racism). if YOU think their statements are then you are hearing what you want to. hillary said she gets the white vote. its true she does get the white vote. so does obama. but hillary DOES NOT get the black vote. that is racist. its not proud, its pure and simple and makes sense when 90 plus percent of the black population vote for a man that looks like he is black. again, that is racist.

There is a good article in Scientific American Mind magazine that speaks to implicit and explicit prejudices. There are a number of folks in this country who are explicitly prejudice against electing blacks and/or women to the highest office in our land. It is a fact that a large number of these folks happen to be undereducated. Those explicitly prejudice folks would not be likely to vote for either Clinton or Obama. All of us are subject to implicit prejudices at a subconscious level. Many of us who may be unaware of these inborn prejudices may be influenced by crafty fear mongering add campaigns that the Republicans are so good at.

The Democrats would do well to look at strategies to appease both implicit and explicit prejudices, given that these prejudices will be a part of the election, like it or not.

And the American Idol winner is……. Obama!!!! What a great performance with no substance! What a stage show! He can speak and sing a tune of change we can believe in!!! Yeah right, I hope he enjoys visiting those 57 states (speech earlier if you didnt know) and with all that experience you have on the foreign affairs committee missing key votes and not even knowing what language they speak in Afghanistan (earlier pearl of wisdom by Obama). I'm sure he will be as effective as the Democratic controlled congress has been. Who last time I checked had an even LARGER DISAPPROVAL rating than George Bush by nearly 2-1. Yeah lets elect someone that will get everyones emotions up but like the rest do ABSOLUTELY nothing. They have delivered on all of their promises, secure Social Security, fiscal responsibility and end the war in Iraq. Last time I checked they were 0-3 on those as well. You got the majority DEMS, whats the deal? By the way, I thought that Clinton & Co were the greatest thing since sliced bread!! You guys would sell out your own children for self preservation instead of nation preservation. Now lets hear the tired Bush stuff about driving up the debt, unnecessary war, etc, etc. Well your effective Democratic Congress that was supposed to change everything sure did do it. You guys have the majority and are "able to walk across the aisle to get a veto". Lets get action and not continue the empty promises with Obama.

This is like when Bill looked into the camera and told everyone in the world he "did not have sexual relations with that woman." He'll lie straight to you and it doesn't even bother him. The Clintons are always trying to play the angles there is no high road for them.

Him denying it and putting the blame on others is just more race baiting. The people that are sympathetic with the Clintons will fall deeper under their spell and again align by race. The Clintons are actively pandering to people who have some underlying racial issues. It divides everyone that's the only way they feel they can win. They will do whatever it takes, all principles aside. Not everyone who supports them is a racist, but those who aren't need to realize that's what they are supporting.

BYE BYE HILLIARY !!! Have fun staying in the Senate !!!

She will fight for China,india and Walmart.

"Anonymous May 21st, 2008 11:18 pm ET

Well finally something was said already concerning the media's attack on Sen. Clinton. I mean, it is perfectly clear how much the media constantly attacks. With the media's constant attacks on Clinton and strongly supportsObama is getting really annoying. I am still a Clinton supporter and hopeful she will win the nomination, but wouldn't mind voting for Obama for the 2008 election, I just don't want a Republican in office."

they're just doing their jobs reporting on the clinton's "foot in mouth" syndrome. This kind of gender/race baiting should not fly under the radar, and we are smart enough to know when she's playin' games.

these words from the most revolting couple in the country ??

What they would do to get the nomination…sickening….

They are no longer allowed in our house….even on TV because we are teaching our kids to be honest, accept no discrimatory statements
show integrity, tell no lies,respect defeats in good spirit, etc…..this couple made it too difficult to explain why Bill was being impeached, we had to explain what he did in the Oval office….not fitting for the highest office in the country !!

So it is OK to throw the race card at Bill, but God forbid someone reminds that Michelle who went to America-hating church was never really proud of our country. This just sounds like a typical Obama tactic.
Hillary should've told Obama and Clyburn "lay off my husband".

Get ready people…THE CLINTONS TRUE COLORS ARE ABOUT TO SHINE!!!………..Do you really think Hillary is gonna bow out gracefully after the last primary???? She has been setting the media and the people of the US up for the past 2 weeks…trust me.

It's sad what the Clinton's have done during this primary process. The have shown their true colors. Old school, non progresive, I want it all and I want it my way, and I'll say anything to get it. Their exit from the headlines will be welcomed.

Joyce in Florida - "The Clinton's have never started anything racist. The Obama camp started it from the get go and still continue to this day."

You really need to take your medication. Quote me ONE TIME the Obama camp has made a race tinged comment. One single factiod, not your babbling opinion. Come on, one single time they said anything remotely close to playing a race card.

You better bring the heat, because we have video proof of Bill belitting Obama as a marginal black candidate in South Carolina, we have Hillary saying that hard-working americans, WHITE hard working americans, and we have that crazy nutjob Ferraro saying that if he was white he wouldn't be in the race.

Come on - one single example based in fact.

Do I wish she'd have talked about gender as much and as openly has Obama has about race? You bet.

Do I understand why she couldn't? Most definitely.

When a woman points out sexism, she risks being called a "whiner." Which, in and of itself, is a form of sexism. Sen. Clinton grew up in an era where you had to play like the men to win, but those characteristics and abilities are then used to paint you as a caricature of a person.

Why did it take the media this long to make this a story?

Robert in Toronto, ON
before you atart acusing bill of using the race card first (in sc) you might want to educate yourself about the "race memo" that was written by an obama camp captain here in sc. she went to see bill speak and wrote down three statements that obama could interpret as being racist (even though they werent). the "race memo" was emailed to the campaign headquarters where it was decided that these 3 statements would be used against the clintons when the time was right. the obama campaign has pulled the card twice already. of course obama will use the race card and has. he wanted us to open up and talk about and now we are. does everyone feel "united" now? dont we all feel better knowing that we are racist? obama seems to think that we needed to admit and then feel the guilt. do we all have white guilt now? okay now we can move on.
