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.

it still amazes me to see Hilliary supporters claim the popular votes when

1) They count, two FLAWED, and ILLEGAL elections in the vote
2) They count the election where obama wasnt on the ballot
3) They dont count the 12 states (25 percent of america) who held caucuses.

Ya, thats really twisting and stretching things to make hilliary seem like shes winning. All you got to do is ignore 25 percent of the country because they held caucuses, and include two illegal elections and the Clinton BARELY comes out on top

Ya, you must be very proud……

This is outrageous. Hilliary just can't accept the inevitable. The country has overwhelmingly selected Obama as the Democratic nominee.

This whining, complaining, conspiring and playing on the sympathy of supporters is tiring and destroying the party. If I have to put up with this much longer, I will vote Republican in November to make sure that Hilliary doesn't steal what is not rightfully hers. The party process for selecting a nominee was known from the beginning. You can't change the rules because you're losing. You also can't make consessions for states that refuse to obey the rules. They knew exactly what they were doing and likely had every intention of trying to derail this nomination if it didn't go their way. I made note of the fact that the Republicans are considering the Governor of the State of Florida as VP. Well, what do you know!!!!!!!.

It is time to retire and accept defeat. It's not very becoming for a woman to behave this way.

Aldon Black, you just got a big gulp of the Obama Haterade. Your a sweet guy but working on a lost cause trying to reason with the Obama radicals. They just don't care how nice you are, they love think up silly and unrelated comments to keep their hopes alive.

You sound like a nice guy so try John McCain and Mitt Romney if Hillary doesn't make it. A much saner choice.

Susan you are obsessed with Hillary. You are on every post that comes up dealing with Hillary. Get a life!!!

Obama all the way!!!

i can't believe some of the stuff i'm reading from hillary supporters… obama has won the nomination… get over it. on to november folks, time to unite the party behind our man.

Hillary has the attitude that she is in it to win it. The only problem is that she is fighting within her party. She is not as negative as she has been, but a lot of damage has been done.

I was once her supporter, but did not like the messages, tones or negativity.

One extremely negativity was the 3:00 a.m. phone call–it played into people's worst nightmare or fear of something happening in the middle of the night to their children. How horrible!

That's when I knew she was not the candidate for me.

What the hell is Bill whining about? Whatever happened to, "Politics ain't beanball?"

"If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!"

Can you say "Karma?"

Yes, President Clinton is right. Obama played all the dirty tricks, including race card, but he just got free ride. I could not understand how people could think this man would be capable of leading the nation? Are you blind? He had done nothing in the senator (he's given time, three years!) before this election, shown no leadership, how suddenly he could do all those things that he couldn't in his 46-years of life?

To tell you the truth, at first, I was also touched at the first time when I heard his speech on TV, it was the one at the night he lost the New Hampshire Primary. I thought, Wow, this man is good. So I start to watch him and do some research about him, and found out he complished basically nothing. In the same time, the more I heard his speech, the more I felt his speech is just empty words, and gradually I just couldn't bear to hear his speech any more. His empty words now cannot inspire me but make me sick. So, I will certainly not vote for him in November.

The Obama supporters see things in one dimension.It would take them years to accept some of Obama's mistakes! Obama has accepted making mistakes!The truth is Hillary is going to defeat Obama,and she will be the President.

Where is Obama's true "CHANGE"? He copies Hillary's plans, her words. What kind of "change" is that? He is pure puppet, behind him are those old …old…white power men. They are the ones are really power hungray!

Less than four years government experence, Obama thinks he can CHANGE…..CHANGE… This kind of trademark is a big joke. It is from la la land.

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY, support the right person for the country!
Hillary can be a very good president for our nation. She has all the qualities that the nation needs.

Smart Americans, open your eyes, don't be fooled. It's not too late to wake up!

All of you Hillibots who "CLAIM" that you are for Sillary because she is a strong woman and believe she will fight for womens rights are a joke….

When you say "If not Hillary than McCain", Dont you realize that McBush and the Republicans are laughing at you……

He will take away ALL of the things you claim to be fighting for, starting with the Supreme Court!…You think you are going to hurt Obama but in the end you are only hurting yourselfs…….

OBAMA: THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!

I used to respect and defend Bill Clinton but he played the race card in South Carolina and then played it again and again. Obama is not the one who said he represented the "hard working white Americans." The Clintons worked hard to paint Obama as "the black candidate" when he is so much more than that. Bill Clinton does not understand Barack Obama.

Lucky for the democratic party, it did not work. Lucky for this country it did not work..

OBAMA '08

My last comment on this one.

I was reading blog posts the other night on a different article and one of Clinton's supporters said, "Hey Boy…" Now, being African American I can read the racist tone in his comment. It was uncalled for. His name is Senator Barack Obama, her's is Senator Hillary Clinton.

As an AA, I have never used race in my posts and hate to see it when it is used. What makes me the most upset however is when Clinton supporters say that ALL Obama supporters do this. Guess, what? Many, not all, Clinton supporters also do it and far more blatantly than BO supporters.

And with that, I am off. Hope you all have a wonderful evening and a great rest of the week and let's all unite to oust the republicans and take our country back. Personally, pretty soon, I will not be able to afford to drive to work and I don't live close to my job so I have to drive.

Hey, Bill, if you're reading. . .

If Chelsea ever considers a run for public office, she needs to get a good speech and debate coach. She lacks ability and maturity in those areas. Her voice is monotonous. She has a lot to learn about projection. Her cardboard wave is almost cartoon-ish. And, then there's substance…. The poor girl is just boring.

I've heard high school students give better speeches and make attempts, often successfully, to handle difficult questions. They didn't grow up in privileged homes and they have not yet been to college. So, if they can do it, maybe she can, too.

i love our first amendment. i love this country. and i love everyone on this blog. but can some of ya'll seriously chill with the hateful comments? i'm sick of it.

People who do not have imagination that leads to good solutions are always bitter and divisive, because they spend most of their energy as waste products on division.

Bill, please take your woman of 35 years of bad experience home. We have heard enough excuses and blames from your household. Nobody is trying to put you or Hillary down. You only have yourselves to blame. If one doesn't recognize he or she has a problem, there will be no cure. Forget about 2012 or Chelsea. It's not going to happen. Here is why.

Your senior supporters will die off, while the younger generations will read everything online, which won't disappear. YouTube lives forever. Your infamous legacy will also live forever so your grandkids can never answer to reporters of any age. It's your business, IF you Clintons stop running for any office. It's not, IF you run again. If you can't take the heat, you can't stay in the kitchen. I am soooo glad we live in a democracy, not a dynasty.

No more Clinton or Bush!!!

I find it quite amusing that a campaign that claims to be ready for the
3 A.M. call uses the 'It was late, I was tired' excuse twice to explain catastrophic campaign blunders!
Bosnia – Hillary
S.C. divisive comments – Bill

Who is going to answer the phone? Chelsea?

Well good to know she will not being answer the phone in the White House at 3:00 a.m.

People are angry and venting over how the democratic campaign has been run. Most honorable persons would have bowed out of the race to get the party in tact. It's a matter of principles before personality.

Hillary cannot accept reality. People believe she is fighting for them, but actually she is hurting the whole democratic party and process.

as always, Bill Clinton is 100% correct. if he could run again, he'd win by a landslide.

I'm surprised the media hasn't jumped on Clinton for all the tricks she has played. Why don't they call her on her silly math or remind her that she signed the MI & FL riules. And she says the media are playing mean. Ever since that SNL skit I haven't seen anything on her, especially the CAFTA thing. Come on! It's not like KY and WV would have received the information – it's not possible – broadband and cable are few and far between.

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

Um, that was the White House, Mr. President.

A revolting strategy? That likely means the Clintons were fully behind it. Mr. Deny until you're caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

And then "his only campaign season regret was speaking “late at night when I was tired, ‘cause if you are tired or angry, you shouldn’t be talking.”

We're tired already, it would be okay if you stopped talking now.

Haven't the Clinton's already played out the "talking while tired" excuse. What would they really say at 3am?

I don't know how Bill can play a race card as he is white.
There is no one in media to pay as much attention to black people being racist as white people being racist.

When Obama won 90% of black vote in ALL states, media calls it 'SUPPORT'. When white people vote more for Hillary after they found out Obama went to Rev. Wright's church and semons for 20 years, the media and Obama camp calls them 'RACIST'.

How could you ever believe what Bill says….he is one of the biggest liars there is….he lied to our whole nation….there are several reasons why Hillary has lost and Billie Boy is right up there at the top.

For all those that say they won't vote if their candidate isn't running, it only shows your ignorance and cry baby attitude. Come on..if you are a Democrat be a Democrat…if you are a Republican be a Republican. The nation has chosen and it will be Obama like it or not.

First and foremost, Hillary is not going to the convention. The superdelegates will rally behind Obama come June 3rd. The only two states remaining that matter are Montana and South Dakota. Puerto Rico is not a state and doens't vote in the general election.

Hillary's new math of 2210 delegates is not going fly. Only the uneducated supporters of Hillary truly think that the Clintons can make up new rules as they go along in life.

Emilio,

They are the Clintons-do you expect anything different?

And some thought this would not end badly…. remember the Clintons are involved…

Sophia nyc,

You are so right. I wonder how many people are paying attention to this issue. What is even more surprising is just how soon after Bush gave his disgusting "Speech" that these two leaders stated their intention to hold "Peace Talks" Can you imagine what these leaders must think about Bush's position on this whole issue?

Yea suuuuure Bill. Your wife is the one who is out there trying to get every hard working American aka white American aka racist dummy to vote for her. I'm Italian American and I think Bill and Hill are the ones playing the white racist redneck card. To Hill Bill supporters, get over it and pick up a book.

Even though I like Bill Clinton and was going to vote for Hillary until I discovered Obama, I am going to have to say they did play the race card after they started to lose. You see, they though they had this nomination in the bag and was okay with Florida and Michigan not counting. They Obama blazed from behind and could not be stopped. She let her guard down because she was white and she shouldn't have done that. It is not just global warming that is changing the world it is everything else that you would least expect. You ran a hell of a campangine Hillary, but you lost, it is over.

Sharon…get a life! Your candidate LOST! It is over!!!!!!!

Pres Clinton and Obama, similar childhoods?

Please tell me that was a joke, right.

Hillary and Bill have played every card – revolting and otherwise – in the deck. Instead of winding up with a royal flush, they've got three of a kind.

Unless they have some cards up their sleeves (as deceitful card players might), they're out of the tournament.

From Senator Obama's Senate site. It seems that many of you do not know just how long he has been in public service. It is called research people:

"Barack Obama has dedicated his life to public service as a community organizer, civil rights attorney, and leader in the Illinois state Senate. Obama now continues his fight for working families following his recent election to the United States Senate.

Sworn into office January 4, 2005, Senator Obama serves on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversees our nation’s health care, schools, employment, and retirement programs. He is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, which plays a vital role in shaping American policy around the world, including our policy in Iraq. And Senator Obama serves on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, which is focused on providing our brave veterans with the care and services they deserve. In 2005 and 2006, he served on the Environment and Public Works Committee, which safeguards our environment and provides funding for our highways.

During his eight years in the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. Obama also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama enlisted the support of law enforcement officials to draft legislation requiring the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases."

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.

BILL CLINTON SOUNDS LIKE THE MINISTER OF DISINFORMATION FROM THE OLD USSR.

As an African American, I can easily say that the Clintons – while not racist – have VERY much played the race card. To say, that they brought up race in this election. When? Let's go back to South Carolina when Bill Clinton compared Barack Obama to the Rev. Jesse Jackson's own Presidential run. It was clear back then while Hillary was ahead that he basically infered "Well, it's a great idea…but it's not a serious campaign." So when Obama's camp fired back, NOW all of a sudden he's "revolted"???? Give me a break. Isn't this the guy who said you have to strap on the gear and take a hit? The problem that Bill Clinton (and his supporters/defenders) on here need to understand is – the Clintons know only one thing. Winning. And they will say, and do whatever it takes to win. Even if that means playing race cards. Playing now gender cards. Comparing the Civil Rights movement to this bumbled Florida/Michigan vote! ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Anyone not blinded by his Southern charm knows he's just doing what he feels he needs to do to try and keep Hillary going. Because realistically, they BOTH know that this is it for them until Chelsea becomes of age. Trust me….this is not about how "offended" he is, just a ploy to drum up support.

The Clintons were NOT this hated until they started fighting dirty, which polls upon polls show that they have.

Educate yourself

I still can't believe that well respected political icons can lead a lynch mob in the 21st century.

The Clinton demographic is largely uneducated white people. Promising.

I USED TO BE A BIG SUPPORTER OF THE CLINTONS, BUT THAT SUPPORT HAS SLOWLY BEEN ERODED ,TO THE POINT, THEY NOW BOTH MAKE ME SICK. WHEN THE PRIMARY STARTED, EVERYBODY KNEW THE RULES, YET HILLARY KEEPS CHANGING THE RULES AND ADAPTS THEM TO HER ADVANTAGE. HOW CAN THE PARTY ALLOW HER TO DESECRATE THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS? BILL TARNISHED THE PRESIDENCY, AND HIS WIFE IS DOING THE SAME TO THE PRIMARY PROCESS. DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR FROM INDIVIDUALS ASPIRING TO THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND.

You ain;t seen nuttin' yet…… this is .first rate entertainment! ….like a Greek tradjety in progress…..enjoy!

Xdem,

I am sure that HRC voiced her opinion to Bill In the White House on more than one occasion (i.e. Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica).
I for one, certainly don't want to return to thos nostalgic times.

I love it. Only the Clintons can play the race card and convince their delusional supporters that the Obama campaign did it. I'll be glad when they're gone.

Oh boo hoo…Hillary has been so abused…wah wah wah…Bill Clinton
is such a phoney! I have to admit I appreciate the laughs! Clinons
are a bunch of liars and thieves. Hillary has become a pathetic
clown on TV. So concerned that every counts..she means the votes for HER should count!She didn't give a crap about FL or MI until she
needed them! What a joke!!!!!!!!!

It's just disgusting. The Clintons are so ambitious that would do anything to be back in the White House.

following the events it is clearer to me than ever:
why dear clintons are you forever putting forward your opportunistic interpretations of the events that always make you the holy, honest misunderstood folks and the opponents the shrewd folks turning for inferior reasons against you….?
if the race issue suits you, you bring it up and then suggest that others did…….
if the gender issue suits you you use it and if you failed it is because they used gender against you…….. (offensive for women!)

in spite of all your claimed experience, wasn't it you who was given all chances to reform healthcare: you failed because you wanted too much, did not listen to sound advice and took the risk: all or none. it became none

clintons, I hope you will continue to contribute where some of your strenghtes are but to replace a divisive bush by a divisive clinton, it should not happen.
thank you for your contributions to this country, stop here and now to prevent further damage to you and this country

obama'08

Well folks,

What do they expect him to say in answer to the question "Playing the Race Card"? Yes? I don't think so!

But of course they played the race card! They had this tactic in their back pocket since "Day One" They just didn't think they would have to use it! It seems to me that since Super Tuesday things changed, then every time we turned around, Hillary would open her mouth, open her eyes, and point her finger, all the while bobbing that head, it was either he (Barack) cannot win the big states, I can, when this failed it was, he can't win the poor and uneducated white votes, then it was, he cannot win the "hard working white blue collar votes I can, it was even, he can't win the Latino votes. Give me a break Bill, you and your wife have both played the race card at both ends, and guess what? It only served to show that "Yes Some States Are Without a Doubt Racial" So now we know, and you two were responsible for pointing this out!

By the way, do any of my fellow Barack Supporters, know why the media have not paid any attention to Chelsea on the stump for her Mom? It would seem to me that if they have to mention that she gave her employer an ultimatum, (by the way, the apple does not fall far from the tree. How many of us can give our boss an ultimatum like she did) if they did not grant her a leave of absence. They should at least cover one of her rallies while she was stumping for said Mom.

They have shown us Michelle stumping, they have shown us Bill stumping, if Chelsea is such a wonderful speaker why the black out where she is concerned. The only time the media paid any attention to her was when she refused to answer questions about Bill/Hillary. What is the story here?

I was a Senator Clinton supporter (Morale and financial). However, what speaks volumes is the lack of class and the blatent abuse of my gender and my State to forward Senator Clinton's 'personal' agenda. My girlfriends and I are voting for Senator Obama.

For hundred of years in this country Colored people when they could vote voted for White canidate without any body saying they were voting for a White person because they were White. So I would like to know why the double standard ? The world have gotten to small now for this color or race thing .

If the Hillary supporters were smart (which according to Hillary, they aren't), you would be encouraging her to step down, and not focus on the Presidency, or VP, or Senate, or any Obama cabinet position. You would be encouraging her to do everything she can to unite the party behind Obama, and then ask her to seek a posistion as a Supreme Court Justice. Under the Obama administration, she'd be a shoe-in, she'd have all the power she could ever want or need, and the legacy of the Clintons would avoid tarnishment. Think about it. It's a pretty good deal all around.

Sharon Minnesota, by all means keep posting!!!! Between you and Hillarity I can't keep a straight face!

Why all this contriving and turning the truth on its head? Yesterday it was Hilary with sexism. Today it's Bill with race. What will they not do against this phenom called Obama? Perhaps they need to read their Bibles. They can lie, twist the facts, and contrive anything but God will not allow them to succeed. Failure is the Clintons portion.

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!!

Would someone please show Hillary's signature that shows she agreed with the MI and Fla. delegates not being seated.

I am a woman Mi voter and I would like to see our delegates seated but in all fairness I think the only way is a 50/50 split or a complete revote, which I am quite confident that Obama would win.

Barack nor Hillary created the problem in Mi or FL, the states did it to themselves, the candidates agreed to it and now this nightmare. Blame our states but don't blame Barack and Hillary….just go home and shut up and take all your Jane Fonda types with you!

Obama 08 & 12!

don't blame Hillary for moving the goal posts to suit her dreams. "Here are the posts", and the press and her supporters chase them in hordes. "No, there they are!" and they chase it. Never mind that she has been contradicting herself over the importance of delegates and MI and FL votes not counting. Never mind that as past Party Chairman, Terry McCauliffe KNEW what the consequences of breaking Party rules are as set the rules. Never mind that the battle has ALWAYS been about DELEGATES and not popular votes, however conjured. Are Democrats afraid of the Clintons? Imagine Obama being in the position of Clinton. Can you all Imagine what party big shots would be telling him now? I guess some Democrats are more equal than others.

Oh and by the way Bill…..it was the media that saw thru you and "outed" you on interjecting the race card….not the Obama people….so I think you should be ashamed of yourself for even going there.
You are supposed to be the "elder statesman" of the party. Shame on you.
I hope the supers step in now and totally shut this thing down before you do any more damage.

Obama is the one who played the race card, don't forget his educated, deadbeat, welfare mother, ya, they know how to work the system!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had it! I try not to be mean but I want Bill and Hill to GET OUT & STAY OUT.
They are really disgusting smelly old politicians. Go and crawl or slime back under your sledge. Just get out! You are not wanted.

Bill Clinton dodges the draft…Hillary Clinton votes for war to have that on her resume when she runs for Pres. Hillary then changes horses in mid stream, and says she didn't think bush would do what he said he would do??? He lies,..she lies, we must go back to the old days when candidates had some character. America does not need dishonest leaders.We deserve much better than Hillary Clinton, and gang.

Sharon from Minnesota:

YOU are what my generation calls a HATER.
it's great that you can blog all day if you want. i
may i suggest you do VOLUNTEER WORK in your community?

Considering all the sexism in the coverage of these primaries/caucuses, Senator Obama does not have a leg to stand upon!

'Race Card'… what rubbish!

I really believe Hillary is the only solid candidate with solid constituencies who can win in November.

I just can't see that with both McCain and Obama.

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.

I was a supporter of Pres. Clinton, defended him during the impeachment. I voted for him and his wife when she ran for the senate, twice. However, this year because Bush has made such a mess of things I have watched the election season very closely. I have to tell you, I have never been so disappointed in the Clinton's in my life. They have tried everything. She and her campaign, including her husband, have complained constantly. It has shocked me as to how much. And when I hear Obama complain after the last debate about the first 45 min. of questioning to be nonsense questions, what do the Clinton's do….tell him if he can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen….that's politics. Perhaps they need to listen to their own advice.
As far as sexism or racism goes…the only campaign distributing any of that is the the Clinton camp.
It is time for them to retire….both of them….I can guarantee, when she tries to run for senator or gov. of NY…she no longer has my vote.

You tell em' Bill. Keep speaking the truth!

Maybe Bill should call his friend Geraldine F and tell her about playing the race card – now she is saying the sexism is from "black" journalists after she couldn't name a specific misogynistic action or comment by Obama or his campaign.

Gerry is making all women look bad as is HRC with her sexism cries.

I don't think being a community activist and serving 4yrs in the State Senate and only 3 in the US Senate counts for a whole lot of experience! Hillary, on the other hand has been fighting for people all of her life. And, you better bet being married to the President she was able to not only voice her opinions with Bill but to actually get things done, Not to mention…she knows how to speak to foreign leaders and cannot be intimidated, She has the experience in the US Senate of 8+ years. Obama, can talk all he wants about changing Washington, but that is just a big dream…He cant change Washington, and if he doesnt know how to play the game..he'll get no where…fast. IF, he even makes it in the General. The man needs true EXPERIENCE!

Hillary'08
Take it to the Convention!

Alton Brown: Your senario is a nice one but the reality of it is this: Do you REALLY think that Hillary is going to give up so much control to Obama? Do you really think she is going to give him his well deserved kuddos?

The fact of the matter is this: The Clinton camp was, as we all have heard, not prepared to go past Feb. 5. Now, there is the rub, if she did not have a back up plan, what makes you think she will have one in unfortold circumstances that will arise, especially at 3 am?

A good leader will plan for ALL scenarios not just the one they want.

I think I get the Clinton strategy now…

… respond to attacks that DON'T EXIST as if they exist and your supporters will rally behind you because the alleged attacks are horrible in nature…

… Shame on you Obama for playing the gender card and I'm a victim
… Shame on you Obama for playing the race card and I'm a victim
… Shame on you Obama for trying to supress the votes of millions
… Shame on you Obama for trying to claim victory
… Shame on you Obama for being an elitist and arrogant

And the sad part is…GOOD PEOPLE BELIEVE THESE FALSE ATTACKS ARE BEING PERPETRATED!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!! This is a political trick the Clintons are playing to win your sympathy vote…. Obama is a good an decent man being railroaded by dirty tricks… he has never attacked Clinton or committed any of these actions… I'm a fair minded political junkie and I've watched every debate and was an avid Clinton supporter until after Super Tuesday…

Obama '08

Play all the cards – the "Sexism" one was great… it's not like Obama had an easy road with Wright coming up twice. Obama barely attacked the Clintons considering the amount of baggage they have.

" a “cold-blooded, calculated, manipulated, and a revolting strategy,”
- buddy, I'm Spanish and saw exactly what you meant by mentioning Jesse Jackson

his only "regret was speaking “late at night when I was tired, ‘cause if you are tired or angry, you shouldn’t be talking.” – ahhhh, the tired/mispeaking card again??!! What happened to 3am and experience helping you guys??

These comments from the guy who lost the Congress in 1994 during his admin, who enabled the election of an incompetent Republican Pres in 2000 as a consequence of his extramarital affairs in office and subsequent lying, someone who has profited greatly from his Presidency, stretches creditability to the breaking point. Bill, we have heard enough from you-go make some more speeches for millions of dollars to someone who cares..

I can see it now….the swearing in of Barack Obama in January as our elected President and Hillary and Bill screaming in the background….they've been robbed, cheated, belittled……

What the heck is wrong with the two of you, Bill and Hillary. You are both pathetic lunatics! Shut up and go home.

OBAMA 08 & 12!

America LOVES Obama!

It appears to me that the Clinton campaign, or perhaps Bill, made a calculated gamble that by subtly interjecting race into the campaign, Obama would lose more votes from whites than he gained from blacks. There were several comments, but I would have to do too much research to quote them. I noticed several going into the South Carolina primary. It backfired at the time. Obama was making an obvious attempt to avoid running as the "black candidate". Remember the stuff insinuating that he wasn't "black" enough? Of course, there was the famous dismissive comment about Jesse Jackson that finally put it all out in the open and sealed Hillary's fate in getting any material black vote.

However, due to the Reverend Wright controversy and the bitter comment, the strategy has finally start paying dividends – but too little, too late for the Clintons. Obviously, much of that blame goes to Obama, but the groundwork had already been laid.

Oh, and by the way, Hillary is not, I repeat, not in the lead in the popular vote. For a number of reasons, Florida results are tainted. And Michigan is ridiculous to even talk about. She is not counting caucus turnouts. Then there's the Operation Chaos votes and the 22% in West Virginia and Kentucky that are poison to the soul.

In Michigan, Hillary herself justified not keeping her agreement to take her name off the ballot by saying "everyone knows this election is not going to count for anything." It is extremely unethical for her to now want to count the Michigan vote.

The "I don't think he's a muslim" comment, sniper fire, and unethical behavior, especially regarding Michigan are reason enough not to support Hillary. Not enough time for a full list.

She cannot win without destroying the party. She either supports Obama and we try to win this thing, torches her own party and causes McCain to win, or if she is able to muscle her way into the nomination, loses to McCain in the fall. Option number one is the only way to keep her political career viable.

I can't wait for the Right Woman to run for president – at that time I will vote for her!

Watching how Hillary is acting now should help explain why she is being treated the way she is by the media and the men's club!

So, it's bad for 90% of African-American's to support Obama, but it's not bad for 40+% to say they won't vote for the man because he's black??? I don't get that. Don't confuse pride with racism. Is it sexist when women vote overwhelmingly for Clinton? NO! Can they just be proud?? Blacks have supported white candidates in droves since the beginning of time and that's because we've never had a "viable" black candidate. Why do you call us racist when we are proud? Just like women are proud of Clinton (and SHE is reminding you of that quite frequently). Is Obama running around saying, "black people are voting for me in large numbers" or "well, at least I'm winning the black vote." NOPE!!! It's your girl who has played the race and gender card. I'm not saying she's racist, just not smart.

And I used to laugh at the Bugs Bunny cartoons. These folks are too much. But, he's right, shouldn't talk when you're tired, too easy too imagine the sniper fire in Bosnia.

It's not doing any good to try to shut up Clinton or McCain supporters. I am a free citizen along with all my other compadre's blogging for their candidate who doesn't go by the name of Obama.

P.S. I'm retired and can blog all day long if I feel like it. What are you doing, bloging at work and cheating your boss? Or, are you a college student who has nothing better to do but waste your parent's money.
You'll hear from me again, and again, and again until the election is over in November.

Totally agree! Which is just one of the reasons i will never vote for Obama.

Cry me a river Clintons! Give me break from your endless spin cycle!

President Clinton is exactly right. This is the reason I will not be voting democrat this fall for the first time in 30+ years.

Hillary's only goal is to get Obama into the level of debt she's at. Her walking around money and racist tactics got her into trouble. Enough that she would never win the black vote. She's not even hanging on to the hispanic vote. She's only interested in uneducated whites it seems, who are coincidentally, the same ones McCain's puppetmasters hope will propel him into office. Perhaps she should run with John 'married the mob guy's daughter' McCain.

Hillary and Bill played the race cards… black and white!

Hillary played the white race card before WV –

I always liked Bill Clinton = and watching Hillary during this primary…
Now I see why she has very high negative ratings and why many don't like her! Including the media!

If she runs again in 2012 – I will make sure she doesn't get any black votes!

Go Obama! It gives me pleasure to see a rookie bring down the Clintons Machine!

Crying & Lying runs in the family….

OBAMA '08!

Aldon …

I don't want to crack on you but … what are you smoking? OK, sorry, couldn't resist.

The obvious point that Mr. Obama is the top delegate holder (remember, this is suppose to be a meritocracy) and he will be the nominee.

The less obvious point is that no one in America would buy this from Mrs. Clinton because it would require the public AND Mr. Obama to TRUST her. She's not yet earned that trust.

Here's Plan A …

- Mr. Obama heads the ticket.
- Senator Webb for VP (applying some of the elements in your proposal)
– John Edwards for Attorney General
- Gov Selebuis for Health & Human Services
- Senator Clinton heads the Office of Poverty Reduction to achieve a 10% reduction in poverty in each year … she promised MLK III she'd do this.
- Senator Hagel Secreatary of State
- Richard Luger Secretary of Defense

President Clinton, you are the one that threw out the race card in South Carolina. Some folks in the south (WV and KY) will not vote for Senator Obama because he is African American. However, they are forgetting one major thing….he is also White. Some of these folks will always think that they will never vote for a "BLACK MAN" because that is just wrong. Who said it was wrong? White people? Please!

Senator Obama never said, "Hey vote for me because I am African American!"

My family is very diverse…Hispanic, African American, Arab, White and Japanese and so we are very well rounded and we are predominantly from Texas and California and we are both Democrats and Republicans. I just so happen to live in PA. We are very religious (different religions) and very open to everything. It is time for this nation to move forward!

Just because I am a woman doesn't mean that I am obilgated to vote for Senator Clinton because she is a woman. We are suppose to vote for the person who will do the best job for OUR country. So that is what my family is doing. To us Senator Obama is well rounded and very diverse and is able to see people for who they are in the inside not for what they look like on the outside.

However, I think it is the time to start healing. So let's come together and vote for Senator Obama for President.

Yes Sharon Minnesota, we care very much for our country! THAT is why we reject and denounce Hillarity, her husband, her campaign, and her brain-washed supporters, and we certainly respect the opine of someone from a state that elected former pro WRESTLER Jessie "The Body" Ventura as governor.

It is time for Hillary to step aside, she needs to focus on supporting Obama towards the November elections, and stop pretending that she still has a chance.Time is of the essence, they are wasting time and will likely regret it

i keep hearing about a video of michelle obama in church which shows her yelling "down with whitey". whats that all about?

bill I respected you as a good president, but after seeing what you and Hillary have said and sine in this primary, I no longer have that respect for you.

A former Hillary supporter

Clinton's have no moral arguments they dont care about party, they dont care about country, they care only about them.

Hillary…

Can we really face another term of the Clintons? I think not…the Clinton name tarnished the White House…Monica and White Water just to name a few. How about having a moral man in office who does not take advantage of women and then pretend it did not happen.

This "Stand by your Man" mentality is soooo 1950's, maybe if she had left Bill at the end she may have gotten more respect for those of us to think highly of ourselves to be taken advantage of by men!!

Michigan Voter !!! May 21st, 2008 10:44 pm ET

No One Has 2210 Delegates !!!! We're Going All The Way To The Convention !!! . Michigan NEEDS A STRONG PRESIDENT !!!! .

HILLARY Or John McCain 2008
======================================================

Couldn't agree with you more. We do need a strong president. That's why you should vote for Obama, instead of McAncient. Hillary is a non-factor at this point. She's dead to me.

Count all the votes or forget democracy. Hillary is right and should get all the votes cast for her. Obama doesn't deserve to have votes that were not cast for him. It's the American way one person, one vote. No one should be able to twist that around to suit themselves. (like BO).

I am a Democrat who has a severe case of Clinton fatigue and know I'll never vote for them again.

It isn't that she's a woman, Mr. President, it's that she's Hillary Clinton. Her going against her own written word on Florida and Michigan is enough to seal her fate for me, Mr. President (and I say this as a proud and native Floridian). Best of luck to her in the Senate but she does not belong in our highest office, woman or not. She is strong and she will continue the great fight in the Senate but she is not who America needs in our highest office.

Yeah Bill, but it's not revolting when Hillary says "Obama is not a Muslim, as far as I know"? It's not revolting when Hillary goes on record stating her and McCain are qualified for the presidency, but she wouldn't say that of Obama? It's not revolting when Hillary lies to Ohio about NAFTA or Bosnia? C'mon Bill, we have been watching revolting tactics out of your camp ever since the loss in Iowa when the strategy suddenly became to attack and defame. Get Real.

These Clinton slimeballs will say anything to stay in power! Oh, and Chelsie! Wouldn't it be nice if we could all just demand from our employers an indefinite leave of absence! She wouldn't be doing that if mommy & daddy didn't have 110 MILLION in the bank!

Why all the Guilt Bill?
Sour Grapes Bill?
Would you Like some more Cheese with that sour grape Whine?

Hillary Loves those "Hard working people, White people.."

I guess Obama advised her to use that statement instead of leaving it where she found it…

LOL

I wonder why is she broke if she has so many people on her side?

i guess i just dont understand. it seems like i should, what with all of my education, but i just dont. why is it racist when hillary says that she gets the white vote and obama gets the black vote? why is it racist for white folks to overwhelmingly vote for clinton in a state that has less than say 7 or 8 percent black but its not racist to get 90% or more of the black vote? why are whites racist when they vote for obama (along with 90% of the blacks) but bolacks are not racist when they do not vote for hillary at all? see im confused about this because i know that obama gets the black vote but im not a racist person. this is a fact that everyone keeps bringing to my attention. so why is it racist when hillary gets the same amount of white voters? please help me to understand.

Fabulous speech by Clinton today. She needs to give it her all and get tough. Don't fall for all the accusations and intimidation from the DNC and Obama supporters. It's all a big act. Nothing to lose now, so go for it.

Most Arkansans know and understand the life and legacy of the Clintons. 2008 is the year of revealing. The #8 in Biblical numerics mean "new beginning" . The Clintons breed on the short – comings of people -seek ing people who are economically distressed. That is their reason for drawing Black and Hispanics in their circle. That is one of the reason for Hillary big victories in economically depressed areas such as WV and Kentucky. She and Bill Clinton do their demographics on economically distressed areas – areas where they know that certain demographics have problems with blacks or Hispanic. It is a divisive tactic Bill and Hillary Clinton are very divisive. To allow the Clintons back into the White House would destroy this country.

I wish all you American's would see that if Hillary gets in, this is EXACTLY what the next 4 years will be like. If anything does NOT go the Clinton way, be prepared to endure the Clinton Spin machine….time after time after nauseating time…..again.

The world needs truth from the US President, for a change.

Canadians for Obama.

Mr. President (former) I once supported and voted for you twice, I'm not saying that you are a racist but you and Sen. Clinton has and are playing the race card. I am very disappointed in you and have lost respect for you and your wife as politicians. I have not heard Sen. Obama sat anything bad about her and he has always been polite to her. You started this mess in South Carolina whether you admit it or not, the two of you are doing all you can to discredit Obama so he can lose the November election. You and your wife have committed political suicide and if you are to change that, you need to begin now to help Obama unite the party and win the election. I do not think Sen. Clinton would be a good VP but she could do other things that could help Obama to become presided. If I were you, I would be careful what I say because YOU!!! Still have lots of dirt to answer for, Monica is still in the mines of voters.

Barack Obama took on the mighty Clinton machine and is winning this contest fair and square.
I am 60, white and female and by all accounts should be voting for Hillary. However, both Clintons have played the race, gender and victim card too many times, their lack of integrity is a turn off. I don't like being lied to, she is not worthy of my vote (which she actually said didn't count anyway because it was given in one of the smaller caucus states).

There is a new book out called the "Great Derangement" by Matt Taibbi. It really helps explain how the Clintons have gone as far as they have in these primaries. It also helps explain how Bill Clinton can continue to make what can at best be described as comments totally detached from reality or blatant lies. The sad part is to see so many people accepting this as the truth. To paraphrase Taibbi: it's all a con that is done with the consent of the conned. Which is what gives it strength. If enough people agree to believe, it is real.

Her supporters should help her pay her debts first before they ask her to stand up for them. LOL…

Bill, please do us a favor and just shut up. You no longer have relevance. This from a Republican.

No One Has 2210 Delegates !!!! We're Going All The Way To The Convention !!! . Michigan NEEDS A STRONG PRESIDENT !!!! .

HILLARY Or John McCain 2008

rock May 21st, 2008 10:29 pm ET

One of our greatest Presidents ever. I can't believe that the next Presidential candidate who will have slightly less years of qualifying experience than the current one running is a student who just comes out of school. If anything I would blame Bush for creating an atmosphere where Presidential quality no longer is a concern for the American public, at least on the Democratic side.
———————————————————————————————-
Poor mis-informed Hillary supporter. Obama has been in public service for 20 years! Why do people, especially Hillary, try to legitimize her time as First Lady as credible experience? Does experience by proxy count? If that's the case, then Robin Givens (ex-wife of former heavy weight champ Mike Tyson) can say she was once the heavy weight champion of the world, or Elin Nordgren (Tiger Woods wife) can now say she is the best golfer in the world? This whole experience thing is a slippery slope if we dissect it enough. What Hillary might have in experience, she falls flat on her face when it comes to judgement.

Great stuff, you couldn't write this better if you tried. A country has to overcome it's latent racism to prosper or give in to it and watch the economy go down with the hapless, hopeless Republican party. Divine providence has put America between a rock and a hard place. This will be fun to watch

Oh please, this is the exact same excuse Sen. Clinton used to explain the sniper fire.

chelsey running for office. well, she does have her parents' willingness to lie right to peoples' faces. and most people are dumb and sadly uninformed, so i guess she does have a shot.

Hillary doesn't constantly play the gender card? Really?

Well Bill the Democrats have been playing the race card against Republicans for 40 years so it flew back in your face. Sounds like the excuse train for why Obama loses in November is warming up " he must have lost because Americans are racist" ….. no he will lose because he is a Left wing nut job from the Peoples' Republic of Chicago and has only been a Senator for 2 freaking years.

The Clintons being racists is ludicrous. Racists is when 90% of your own race supports you. If 90% of whites supported only a white candidate, there would never be a black president or a person of any color. Being a racist is when you stand in a pulpit for a lifetime and rant against another race. Racism is ugly and the Clintons have never spoken out of turn.

What a complete joke the Campaign of the first black man running for president has been. It's a real shame that it had to be Barack Obama.

Clinton and/or McCain 08

Bill needs to learn Freudian and then he would know that it is when you are tired or late in night, you tell truth.

Frankly, I don't remember ever hearing Obama say anything about anyone playing the race card. On the other hand, I do remember Bill playing it in South Carolina in relation to Jesse Jackson winning that state and I do remember Hillary just recently saying she has the white vote.

So Billy, it is revolting and it is you and your wife who started it all.

Goodbye to you both.

As a 54 year old white female, Bill played the race card and Hillary played the gender card. Obama has tried to keep race in the background. Hillary has tried to change the rules at every step in the race when she is behind. How can anyone not see that? Did she not sign an agreement that MI and FL would not count? And is she not wanting to change the rules now? Her personality changes from day to day and please don't say she didn't blatantly lie about Bosnia. If anyone is trying to play a card it is her latest cry of how unfair everyone is because she is a woman. Wake up folks!

Bill and Hillary Clinton,

You are both shameless pigs.

After June 3, I want you both to disappear for a long long time.

I'm still waiting for an explanation as to why the sniper fire thing hasn't made them as big a joke or bigger as Elliot Spitzer.

Bill Clinton has descebnded to a new low. Americans and the world have now seen the real Clintons. Monica Lewinsky and the infamous "it depends on what is is", Marc Rich, etc were just a tip of the iceberg. We now know the real Clinton – a Charlatan!

The Clintons are all about saving the Democratic Party. It is the media, Obama's campaign and a whole lot of arrogant, dismissive and abusive Obama supporters who are dividing and destroying the Party. Hillary Clinton will be the Party's nominee for President.

So let's see…Hillary is claiming that the media and sexism is responsible for her not getting the nomination and she used the term hard working white blue collar voters and Obama's playing the race card? Makes as much sense as Hillary's math. As for Chelsea, sorry if I don't sympathize with her because her Mom doesn't get to be president. She has as much in common with the average person as her parents.

There are shrewd ways of using race to stimulate certain groups of people. This is called race baiting. Who is Bill kidding, there was definite race baiting going on. He's mincing words by saying they didn't play the race card. Bill is very smart, he knows exactly what was happening. I understand it is frustrating for the Clintons. I voted for Bill twice myself. But I think he and Hillary didn't prepare well. Perhaps alot has changed since the 90's. Wasn't it Bill that said "don't put on the uniform if you don't want to play"? Then why is he once again complaining about the tactics he thought were used against Hillary. He is tryingto have it both ways.

Yes,, but I bet the Clintons take this all the way to the Convention. That's just how dirty they are. If they do, however, their political careers will be over.

Stop & think for a minute about how much better Hillary could have done without Bill during this campaign…

Eileen from Portland, Maine May 21st, 2008 9:50 pm ET
JJ-Orlando May 21st, 2008 9:36 pm ET

Lets get the facts straight for once shall we. Hillary got the popular vote there is no debate in that.
…………………………………………………………………………………….
Eileen from Portland, Maine Well actually JJ, it depends on who is counting.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
(Florida is counting)
When I look up each state and count from this website, Obama is ahead in every metric including delegate count, popular vote count, super delegate count, total delegate count, many more states won and many more states won with margins over 10%. Even if the delegates and popular vote were counted as is, without Obama being allowed to campaign in the states of Florida and Michigan, he would still be ahead in all those measures.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
JJ-Orlando Except the measures that are consistent with a real democracy
>>>>>>>>>
Eileen from Portland, Maine
Hillary don't let anybody steal the nomination from you just because you have lost by every measure. Just keep making stories up to convince your ?gullible supporters that you are somehow being cheated because you couldn't win by the rules.
But that's okay, even those Hillary has lost by every measure,

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
JJ-Orlando
Before I post the rest of my first post let me just remind our viewers how Obama's supporters have acted…..And why Hilary supporters will not vote for Obama. I am not a lier nor do I make up stories. I am a Christian man with three little children, a disabled wife and two adopted needy children.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
JJ-Orladno's continued first post
Obama will get the delegate vote. He will loose the general election. I am white and I just can not vote for Obama because of the way African Americans have acted in this race. Nigerian native Hakeem Olajuwon was my Idol growing up so I am far from predjudice. In North Shore, Texas—However, I was not allowed on the basketball team A team, not because I was not the best but I was white. The other day while out shopping I overheard heard African American's say "At least a brother can get us some real respect and now maybe we will be the black ones on the Dollar bill." Seriously, I'd rather it been Colon Powell than Obama. …

I have a friend who is white and grew up in a totally African American community—-

From listening to conversations over a period of 10 years, she tells me
African Americans are far more racist than whites—–

The voting percentages appear to bear this out–

Wait a minute. The old white man from the former Confederate South (where the Confederate flag hung while he was in office in Arkansas), who compared Obama to Jesse Jackson and called Obama "articulate," has the nerve to call Obama "cold-blooded" and revolting?? And now he thinks screaming at the top of his lungs with a bright pink face will get his point across? Nobody's judging Bill's or Hillary's heart or soul, but racist behavior is racist behavior.

There are some who will do anything for fame and power. And then there's the rest of us.

" ALL ABOARD THE MCCAIN TRAIN "

I'm A Michigan Democrat !!! , And I Approve Of This Message !!!!

I can't believe that the hateful comments made by Obama supporters on this blog have anything to do with the Clintons. It must be just a continuation of a campaign tactic to win at any cost. We all know your game and it's real bad for America. Do you care for your country at all?

Eileen from Portland, Maine -

I think that you are lumping all of us African Americans into one big pot. Guess what, not all of us actually feel that way. I can tell you that not matter who is in office, I expect respect because I and only I earned it. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not Obama is in office. You overheard a stupid remark made by someone who is ignorant.

I would ask that you rethink your vote based on the candidate and not the supporters. If that were the case, I would be voting for McCain but because I am voting based on the issues and not sex or skin color, I would vote for Clinton if she were the nominee.

The Clinton's will not stop until they have stolen the election from
Senator Obama. They don't care about dividing the democratic party. They feel entitled. They have used code words, injected race unnecessarily, lied, cried and are now desperate. Obama is leading in EVERY category – Get over it! Don't let the door hit you…. LOL!
OBAMA 08!!!!!!!

Bill was the first to play the race card in the capmaign….in SC. I was truly disappointed in him and then started to support Obama….

Who has been agitating so-called gender and race issues since months and months? Billary!!!

Bill is right, this strategy is a loser's strategy.

How can Hillary make such a big deal about the $30 savings from the gas tax holiday idea, but still ask people to give $50 or more? If she wants to continue destroying the Democratic party, use your own dirty money from the Middle East or South America.

I just love this by Bill Clinton, hopefully he will next try to redefine for us the meaning of the word "is". This type of behavior from an ex-President is beyond contempt. As Bill ages he is beginning to look more like the old comdienne, WC Fields. Only Fields made us laugh.
Bill, go home to Harlem.

One of our greatest Presidents ever. I can't believe that the next Presidential candidate who will have slightly less years of qualifying experience than the current one running is a student who just comes out of school. If anything I would blame Bush for creating an atmosphere where Presidential quality no longer is a concern for the American public, at least on the Democratic side.

As a Black woman from Kentucky, I am not surprised that Clinton won the state. Many people here will not vote for a black candidate.

Barack has NEVER complained about the open racism that he faced (the monkey t-shirts, the emphasis on his middle name, the huckabee joke, the death threats, etc).

YES, Hillary has indeed faced sexism, but it really speaks against her character that she is crying victim, when the other candidate is not. What's more,
To accept those votes from bigots when you claim to be against racism, is hypocrisy and is selling your soul.

Bill what is REVOLTING is how I feel after all of those YEARS going TOE to TOE against my republican FRIENDS defending you! I havwe to eat Crow everyday you and your delusional devisive caculateing wife intterupt the process.

Why can't we get along? Let's solve some problems and not attack each other…

This is so revolting. For him to even try to say that he and Senator Obama have the same background is an insult. He has insulted African Americans, Latinos, Asians, Indians, Africans etc. Hillary and Bill need to be ashamed of themselves, from the time he became president and before he was sleezy and she lied in court and was not put in jail. They never said anything about Paul vs Clinton. They have not said anything about their child molesting Preacher, they are very, very, good friends with MCCain and Hillary use to be a Republican. The Clintons have and still are doing corrupt things and telling lies and not being called on the carpet about anything. It is as if the Democratic Party especially the Super D's are AFRAID of the Clintons. What do they have over most of them that they cannot boot her out of this campaign. The man has gotten more than the amount of delegates to win the nomination, so what is the problem?

Get it together Dems
Put Bill/Hill out of this ugly cycle, they are making the Dems look terrible.

Aldon Black

Your post sounds and smells like a Clinton intern. Do they teach fuzzy math at campaign headquaters?

Bill says Hillary mispoke at 11.30 p.m. because she was tired

Bill says people should not talk when they are tired and angry.

I agree, for that reason I do not want Hillary to answer the phone at 3.00 a.m.

WHEN did Obama ever accuse anyone in the Clinton camp of racism??? If he did, I missed it.

All these bizarre complaints from the Clinton camp of being accused of racism, of sexism, of Obama "stealing" the election (good God: He has locked down a majority of the pledged delegates!!!). Bill and Hillary have GOT to pull back on their attacks on Obama and even their yelling "amen" every time some Republican or other raises scurrilous non-issues about Obama. Doing that may give her a temporary bump, but–much worse–it gives legitimacy to the worst biases and prejudices that some of those "hard working white folks" may have been shy to act on.

They are destroying the party and its hopes in November.

I would have supported Hillary in a heartbeat had she and her followers not behaved this way (and there was NO reason for all this). But now I am more worried that she will sabotage Obama in the Fall, clearing the way for a run in 2012.

To that, I say to her and her camp: We are not idiots–if you undermine Obama for your own selfish political ends, it will NOT be lost on all of us, and you will be blackballed in 2012 if that is the case; also, you will only be 68 in 2016, so prove your loyalty to the principles that the Democratic party stands for now and in 2012, and I think you will find everyone will be VERY receptive to your candidacy in 2016.

Odumbo and his people have been the ones to inject race. Especially, after his infamous race speech after he got caught attending a racist church…so, he had to turn the tables and talk about it, you know, typical white people! Even, here the supporters inject race all the time~ if you don't vote for him, you're a racist~Bull, how about the fact that he is not liked, not by the color of his skin (which, by the way he is bi-racial, not black). He will not get my vote along with many other Hillary supporters, which will keep him and his hateful wife from the white house~So, you can call me a racist all you want, I could care less~No white guilt here!

For heaven's sake Bill, stop sniveling and go away!!!!!!!!!!

Chelsea's got herself a cushy 6 figure hedge-fund job, but that's not elitist. Chelsea bawled when her mommy lost Iowa. Bill was tired and mis-spoke, just like Hillary did in Bosnia. Where exactly does the truth end, and the lies begin? I won't even bother throwing in integrity into the equation. By the way, remeber when Chelsea was just that unattractive little red-headed first daughter back in the Clinton glory days? I must say, she has blossomed into a fairly attractive woman, even though she has her mother's enormous mouth, and her dad's squinty trailer-park eyes.

I am amazed by how the Hillary supporters have bought in to her BS hook, line and sinker. Worse are the mental giants who are STILL sending her $$$$! P T Barnam was indeed correct, " There's a sucker born every minute."

Michigan Voter!!!

didnt hillary say you votes would not count

1926 May 21st, 2008 9:21 pm ET

Bill, I just adore Hillary and your daughter, and especially you. I voted for you both times, and I wish to heavens you were still there. We are in a mess now. It scares me to death to think Obama may go in. He is not the person we need now. Someone with some sense is needed now. I think the Democrat party has lost its bearings. What are they thinking? Please dont let Hillary stop. Maybe someone will come to their senses before its too late.
Best wishes.

—————————————————-

What do you mean? Obama is not much different than Bill himself was back in '92. Bill himself is even saying as much in this very article. What on earth are you so afraid of??? Well, I think the answer is obvious.

Enough already! Goodnight Irene. Time for Hilly and Billy to move along and let the next generation of political leaders have their day. These people have no dignity or shame.

Call it down the middle, Obama knew who he was stumping with. Proof is in he issued a press release saying he didn't agree with the performers views, before campaigning together. Much like many parts of Obama's campaign he does what is convenient, says one thing means another.

Sorry, but I think his lack of experience will be more damaging than a McCain presidency.

No words of appeasement will deter me from voting for Hillary in November either because she is on the ballot or because I write her name in.

Obama is a fraud, a charlatan, and I for one see him as potentially more damaging than Bush has been.

First, Bill said that he did not play the ‘race card’, and then he stated that his only campaign season regret was speaking “late at night when I was tired, ‘cause if you are tired or angry, you shouldn’t be talking.” Hmmm… he played the race card, denies playing it, and then in the same statement excuses what he said because he was tired and or angry. Simply put, once he played his hand, he knew that the African Americans (if no one else) could define the slur in his statement. With such a revelation, it was offensive to say the least when African Americans had in times past had vigorously supported Bill Clinton.

When I read comments that ‘Blacks’ are only voting for Barack Obama because he is black I have to laugh! I am certain you know of some intelligent African Americans; hence, you should know that African Americans can and do listen to what the candidates have to offer. After all, there have been struggles for African Americans in this country dating all the way back to slavery. If Hilary wants to know why so many African Americans have defected to Obama when they were in strong support of the ‘Clintons’, she does not have to look far. She first needs to look into her husband’s face, then pick up a mirror and look into her own face.

We have all been lied to, but most of those lies were identified after the governmental official was seated. Unfortunately for Hilary, no one made her lie! Can you say sniper fire? She lied about this with a smile on her face and told that same lie multiple times. She did it all on her own and why? Because she wants your votes and the nomination by any means necessary. I think that fact has been further exemplified over the last month.

The only thing I hope for now is that Democrats stick together in the general election, because we…yes even you can not afford to live with another 4 years of the Bush policies.

Keep fighting, Hillary. Our country needs you!

These guys are pathetic! they do anything or say anything in order to win!. Bill you were a good president! please stop tarnishing your legacy!!. With all respects please Just throw in the towel and tell Hillary its over. When will James carville stop giving you dead advice? after the Democratic Party has gone to the dogs?. Please do the noble thing STOP TEARING THE PARTY DOWN TO SATISFY YOUR EGO!!

Grace,

Keep donating your money to Hillary. I'm sure she really has your best interests in mind and will spend your money wisely………Yeah right………might as well throw your money in the toilet. Instead of wasting money, why don't you read up on Obama and not let the media or your misinformed friends make up your mind for you. It's silly to say you can't find anything about the man that you like, he is almost identical to Hillary on the one thing that matters, THE ISSUES!!!!

Bill Clinton is right. He didn't go far enough. The move by the Obama campaign was gutless. Americans are getting sick and tired of these attempts to gain advantage because of race. It's a cop out.

Bill—-

Convince Hillary to run as an Independent—–her supporters are 17 million strong and will back her in November. She'll also take a lot of votes away from McCain leaving Obama with about 27%.

If she can't run as an Independent because of Party pressures, we
will write her in.

Never quit.

It Ain't Over Till It Goes To The Convention !!!!

Democrats NEED Hillary !!!!!!

HILLARY ALL THE WAY !!!!!!

Clinton supporters go ahead and come to grips that you can be loyal to her but it will be at a distance because she is not going to win!!! She needs to stop the foolishness and let Mccain and Obama do their thing for the general election. This is insane and she and her freakin campaigne are doing this on purpose!! They want to drag it out and destroy our party to allow Mccain to win. She knows that she cant win at this point but it seems to be a game to her. The longer this goes on, the worse off we will be. I guess since the "Clintons" cant be in the white house, they would rather have Mccain there. Her actions are enough to keep her out of the white house. As for a joint ticket, he should not put her on it!!! She has been very evil and has went beyond extremes to try to win and that does not get rewarded. As soon as anyone says anything about her, she blows it out of proportion and wants people to feel sorry for her. Well, its time to grow up. We are not in elementary school anymore and nobody has time for a pitty party.

Bill Clinton YOU are the one who plays the race card. Hillary has LOST. in spite of your dirty tricks, now you are tying to blame the media, or anyone. I am sorry Bill but I am not moved one inch with your story. I do not believe a word you or Hillary say & do not care about you & your whole family playing the victim now. I do not buy it, not or a second. Your Dynasty is over. It did not work this time, Obama is the Winner.

Warren -

I couldn't have said it better myself!

To Aldon Black,

There is no way for Hillary Clinton to be on top of the ticket. What the people want is CHANGE.

The Clintons are not who you think they are. They are potraying themselves as servants–it's all about power for them.

People who want power, can't let go even when it hurting them and definitely if it is hurting someone else.

How did we ever like this guy or believe anything either he or Hillary ever said!! I'm betting that America is just too smart to fall for this–at least, I pray we are.

Is Hillary Clinton a law abiding person. Here comes January 20, 2009 supposedly when she takes the oath of office, "I soldenly swear that I will defend the constitution…" How will she feel when making such a promise/confirmation when in fact she can not honor the rules and regulations of the DNC?

Expectedly, this is the party she wants to be a candidate for. The rules were made for any state violation, she does not want to under the rules because things are not working in her favor. Bill Clinton said it is not about race but he and his wife are now seeking Hispanics' votes. when he was running in 1992, it was the African-Americans votes. Where was the blue-collars and Hispanic when Bill was running? Now these people matters most them any other group.

Agree with Warren.
Hillary thought she was going to win this without MI and FL
But the opposite happened.
Obama won it without MI and FL

Geez, Bill, shut up and go home. The trouble with you and Hillary is that fundamentally you are are couple highly intelligent adolescents who think that the rest of us in the party have to continually clean up whatever mess you leave behind. The GOP behavior WAS awful when you were in office, but you made it easier for them with you stonewalling and fooling around. Now you are makling a mess of the 2008 nomination process just because you think that Hillary is somehow "entitled" to it, and now we all have to deal with yet another mess. Have you no shame? Stop being so selfish. By the way, this white worker would vote for Barack.

Had Bill thought that Chelsea might run for an office some day, he would have been less reckless. I hope Chelsea is smart enough to see politics not as negative and divisive as her parents think it is.

But no more Clinton or Bush no matter what.

It's not really about race. Yeah, some people's vote is influenced by race, but that works both ways in one state or another. What happened was a freakish run of primaries in the middle, and two disallowed states, put the less qualified and less electable candidate on top. Then a bunch of scared Dems started piling on to close it out because the Reps were done.
Why not count all the votes? Why disenfranchise millions of Florida and Michigan voters? Because your candidate is ahead? The average voter in Florida or Michigan had no say in moving their primary. Let 'em vote and see who comes out on top. Isn't that the "democratic" solution?
If Dems used winner take all delegates formula (similar to general election by the way) – Hillary wins.
If Florida and Michigan primaries were run when they should have been – Hillary would have won already.
If the order (and demographics) of the primaries wasn't so freakish – who knows?
Run it to the end and see what the voters say (including Florida and Michigan). You can't be democrats and be afraid of a democratic process.

Aldon Black -

You sound as delusional as your candidate.

Puh-leese Pres. Clinton ! I watched you and listened to your comments about the South Carolina primary BEFORE the media characterized them, and was sick to my stomach. It was what YOU said, not how the media characterized it, that angered people.

Right then, at that moment, my support for your wife went out the door. It had nothing to do with the media — and everything to do with you.

You are one smart cookie, as is she, and I am not so naieve as to believe your comments were made without her blessing.

Grace, what have you been smoking ? You say that his message did not resonate with you. Their messages are nearly identical. But you hang in there, it may sink in yet. As for the race riots, I'm black, and I've never heard anything like that from anyone, and I haven't missed any of the secret meetings. It must be tough watching someone take sometihing from you that you think you're entitled to.

Why am I not posted when I point out what most Democrats know? It is a joke to nominate Obama when he lost in the important states??? Popular vote counts!!! Who is the machine behind this joker???

When this race started it was clear to everyone that Hilliary Clinton would win this thing hands down. Now that we are at the end of the race and it is clear Barack Obama will be the winner. Here comes the finger pointing and crying act. The Clinton's need to recognize that the Obama camp ran a better campaign. That they under estimated the man and they only have themselves to blame. I understand those of you who are supporters of Hillary Clinton want to hang onto any hope there is. I think she should stay in as long as she see fit. The bottom line is that Obama will be the nominee. If there are any democrats that will not stand behind this man because the Clinton's came up short. Well that is a sad state of how this party always seem to find a way to shoot ourselves in the foot. To know that some will sit back and not vote for the democratic nominee or worse vote for McCain. Well that is just a bit disturbing to say the least.

Spintons playing the victim again. And now someone else is responsible for the venom they spew? Oh! I misspoke. I was tired. People tend to slip more when they are angry and tired. That's when the truth comes out.

This was the same rant when it came time to dodge sniper fire. Shrillary told that story 3 times. And C-Hell-sea chimed in on it too. What was Slick Willy's beef? She was tired. It was 11pm. You can't hold her accountable for that? No? Well, what it is going to be at 3am? Ready from day one? Don't think so.

She lost my support the moment she started playing by "Turdblossoms" gamebook. I remember her saying she was ok with Florida not counting. I live here. She isn't going to be the nomineee and I'm voting Obama.

The USA doesn't have Kings…or Queens.

Si se puede!

QUOTE: I would have said ‘No way. She is too allergic to anything we do,” responded Clinton. “But she is really good at it.”

Um….She's really good at public policy? She's really good at leadership? or she's really good at politicking and pandering? – because that's all she would have been engaged in thus far….

James I respect the fact that your angry because Obama was with someone thats against homosexuality, but do you think he meant to offend or agrees with that. I don't. I probably come in contact with people who are bigots or prejudice in their own homes, but Obama is a pretty busy guy and I'm sure he doesn't know the life story of everyone he comes in contact with, and I know I don't know everything about everyone I know, and I am not nearly as busy as him. My point is I don't think he hates gay people, after all he himself is a minority. Although I could see how you are upset. But get this people are dying in Iraq man. Mcain isn't bring them home, and he said he isn't. Your goin to let them stay there because your mad about that? Come on I know your mad, but we need to stop this killing and spending in Iraq. I trust that your just upset and that's cool but think about it man. PLEASE UNDERSTAND MCAIN CAN DO SERIOUS DAMAGE! LOOK AT BUSH!

Comment about Bosnia: Not only would a 13 year old remember being shot at. Anyone would remember if they were under sniper fire attack. That has nothing to do with tiredness–outright lies.

Bill Clinton appears to still be in his childhood. I can't believe some of his childish reasoning. Hillary and Bill Clinton , and her staff are one dysfunctional group.

Maya May 21st, 2008 9:59 pm ET

I am an african american and I am proud to say that I am a Clinton loyalist who is very grateful for what the Clintons had done for african american in this country.

My heart broke in pieces as I was watching the harshness in the media against Hillary Clinton. I never thought that I would leave a day to see that kind of treatment against a person who served our country so well.

To all the Clintons, you will be for ever in my heart.
———————————————————————————————

Maya -

In all fairness, they (the Clintons) brought this on themselves. I'm sure your loyalty is appreciated by the Clintons, and if so, you'll abide by her wishes in supporting the Democratic candidate that wins the nomination.

Here is a simple request. If you are going to make claims like: Obama whines about racism every day, please back them up with proof. So much of what I read in these comment sections is simply false. The rest of it sounds like boasts or complaints hurled by supporters of one sports team at another. This is not a sports contest and none of you are related to either Obama or Clinton. If you are Hillary's cousin I can see still supporting her now, and even saying you won't support Obama. Barring familial relations, it doesn't make much sense. I don't expect people to agree with my view of the election, in fact I love reading opinions other than my own, providing they are well thought out and reasonable. Most of what is in here is emotionally driven hero worship, nasty name calling, or baseless and uneducated ranting. There isn't much point to any of that, and it isn't much fun to read. If that's all you have to offer, please keep it to yourself.

What's REVOLTING is the Clinton camp's CONSTANT attempts to undermine Obama.

As a woman – and more importantly, a FEMINIST – I am disgusted with the way Senator Clinton has run her campaign! It is disgraceful to all women when she angrily spouts "Shame on you Barack Obama!" while wildly waving a flyer in the air…

It's also REVOLTING that her 'base' seems to be largely made up uneducated and racist voters… Oh yeah, and WOMEN who are, sadly, too ready to look past her divisive, disgusting pander-filled rhetoric…

As a woman she sets the WRONG example for my daughters – she agreed to the rules before this contest began regarding FL and MI and now (because it would benefit her) she wants them changed…

No, if women are to be taken seriously in the world of politics – or anywhere else – we need to be persons of honor and integrity – something Hillary Clinton clearly LACKS!

I believe in Rules and Hillary need to follow the rules. I feel bad because I truly believe in Hillary but Obama is beating her fair and square. We, the Hillary fans need to be adults and true democratics and rally behind Obama. He will still allow Hillary to do her thing.

Bill, please do us a favor tell your wife to get out because she is ruining the democratic party's chances of winning this november and ,while you are at it, just shut up until october.

Sorry Grace, but unless you donated $20 million to her, your support means nothing. It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for Hill to win now. Obama leads in all categories, popular vote, total states, total delegates, total supers, and majority of delegates. It is over, do you understand?

He sounds like a bitter old man, who fully understands why his wife has lost the nomination, and will use every oportunity to continue to punish Obama. He doesn't sound positive, smart or even credible, just old and frustrated.

As an concerned African-American, and registered Democrat. Below is an idea I believe is workable. I’d like to see Sen. Obama become President–some day. I believe with him in the second position, and the following plan in place, Sen. Obama would make an excellent President.

Having said that, I sincerely believe Sen. Clinton would not only be the strongest candidate, she WILL make the best President for our nation at this time in our history.

Here’s the “DEAL”:

1. Sen. Clinton tops the Democratic ticket with Sen. Obama as her running mate.

2. A unique alliance of governance is created:

a) Vice President Chaney has already put into effect a system of shared power that can work as a basis to develop this new alliance.

b) (Then) Vice President Obama will work very closely on “the hill” building alliances and building bridges (it will give him much needed training and allies when he is subsequently President in 8 years); after all, he will be the President of the Senate…let him be very active in that role.

c) More than none, Vice President Obama will accompany President Clinton on trips abroad. He will meet with his counter-parts in foreign government. He will, from time to time, be present in the high level meetings between President Clinton and her counter-parts (He will gain knowledge and respect from the foreign leaders he will have to deal with when he becomes President – perhaps he will forge some friendships in the process; friendships that will prove valuable on the world stage when he is President).

d) Prior to the highest level meetings between President Clinton and her counter-parts, Vice President Obama will be very involved in the development and orchestration of the ground work necessary for the meetings between President Clinton and her counter-parts. When he (Obama) is President, the confidence level and proficiency will be outstanding.

e) Vice President Obama will be heavily involved in domestic policy formation and implementation. He will work closely with cabinet Secretaries and State Governors to bring about the agenda of President Clinton.

3. From time to time, on those issues President Clinton has given Vice President Obama the lead (and she will announce that she has given him the lead), he can address the American people directly.

4. President Clinton to announce a JFK-type program for energy independence with Vice President Obama.

a) Let Vice President Obama take the lead on this program.

b) Program partners to include American oil and energy companies (less burden on American taxpayers, and great training for Vice President Obama on Government and Corporation alliances and partnerships that will take the bad taste of “Big Corporations” out of the American people’s mouth).

c) “Save the Planet” and “Green Energy” organizations to be courted in this alliance.

4. Don’t forget the “Fireside Chats” on a regular basis.

a). Talk informally to the American People.

b) If there are problem, solicit their help.

c) Give them the hard information. (Hope is one thing, but let the American people feel they have a real stake in things by doing something. When good things are happening, let them know that also. Give the up or downside of important issues.)

d) Let Vice President Obama hold town hall meetings regularly.

e) Sell Administration initiatives to the people first.

f) “Teach” them the most effective ways to exercise their influence on their local, state and federal representatives.

6. Float ideas on the web on a White House site; this will work well to show that programs have support from the public. Anyone can log-on and see what the American people are thinking. This may prove to be an effective tool when dealing with congress. Popularity and cooperation should remain high.

Sen. Obama supporter should good about the fact that he is not in a ceremonial potion, but is an active and important part of the Clinton administration.

Sen. Clinton will announce this arrangement at the convention; later, the two (Sens. Clinton and Obama) will appear together on ALL the talk-show (together and separate) expounding this arrangement.

Thank you for your time.

Warmest Regards,
Aldon Black

Obama waited like Hillary did. When things were not in her favor and she saw that she was losing she went back on her agreement and brought up Florida and Michigan.

Obama followed suit and since he has won the most delegates and his nomination will not be affected, will allow the delegates to be seated.

He learned this tactics from Hillary. Do anything to get what you want!

Yet you continue, Clintons, to use the race and gender cards-POOR Chelsea! Did she bawl when you were all over the news because of Monica! Using your daughter to get sympathy is a disgrace.

The only thing revolting is the comments coming out of the Clintons campaign

C'mon Bill you know the race and gender card is being used. You just want the media to get off her back. . . smart move. It worked last time.

Everyone who will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee deserves whatever is brought into our country if he wins the general election because of ignorance. Just make sure that nobody in your family joins any armed forces because they will not return before year 3000!!!

It's obvious Hillary Clinton has more votes.

How could anybody talk about not counting the votes in this day and age? Yet, we see it in the international news coverage.

Obama says he is the candidate of the future. But he's campaign reminds me of old times.

Hillary supporters don't need big rallies. We live in the internet era. We get all the information in the net and it's effective.

I sometimes smell Imperialism behind house listening to some people talk. I know Imperialism is a big word. But when its ugly heads show up, we've seen it so many times countries always headed in worng directions.

If not given the nomination can Hilary Clinton be a write in candidate??? Keep going Hillary!!!

But it's ok for Hillary to use the 'sexist' card? What a bunch of pandering power-mongers. But alas, it matters not, for the wicked witch of AR, PA, NY, or wherever she claims to be from has been handily defeated. No amount of 'whining' is going to overturn the fact that Obama has all but secured the nomination. Sorry SWEETIES!!!

I liked Clinton as president but even before he was elected he was always a do anything to win politician and so is Hillary. They have thrown a lot of stuff out there hoping it would stick and it really has not. Is the media against them? maybe.. Would it matter? No…

Race is an issue. I don't think Hillary played any race card it is just a matter of fact in this country. That is why she is winning the same demographic that tends to vote republican. Those that can not relate Obama or liberal democrats. That is not really the base of the party anyways.

I respect Hillary but she has lost fair and square any way you look at it. Even with Michigan and Florida she still would lose. Time to face reality and quit trying to skew popular numbers and pretend like you won Michigan when many people such as me did not vote because it did not count.

THE ROTTEN APPLE DOES NOT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE!

Hillary and Bill are both known for pandering, lying, falsely accusing, blaming and everything else under the sun!

What did daughter Chelsea do when mama was telling her war stories about Bosnia? Absolutely nothing! She let mama repeatedly lie to the public. Chelsea was 13 when they were in Bosnia…. any 13 year old would remember getting shot at!

Is Clinton trying to ruin their name completely?

Another midnight tale from Bill. Soon we shall hear that when Hillary signed the DNC rules that will purnish erring state democratic parties, she did so late at night when she was tired and could not think straight.

Bill Clinton is running scared because he has done a lot of dirty things and he knows his days as a free person may be in question. Just ask any Arkansas. The Clintons are no longer in charge. They will kill to get what they want. Bill and Hillary have a partnership and not a marriage that is why he is always some where with other women. He misses his room where he was down the hall having sex "with that woman". I would like to see these people prosecuted for all the evil they have done in the live of thousands of people. They will not get back in the White House. This is a new day Bill and Hillary. The one great thing that has come out this campaign is the revealing of the Clinton Machine. READ YOUR CLINTON CHRONICLES BILL AND HILLARY. IT'S YOUR LIFE.

We LOVE Bill Clinton! Bill was a great President, we MISS the wonderful 90's, the peace, the prosperity, the surplus, it was nice while Bill was President.

We LOVE Hillary Clinton! Hillary will be an even BETTER President!
Hillary Clintons detailed grasp of domestic and international issues is unmatched. Her qualifications and electability should earn her this Presidential Dem nomination. The Democrats would be foolish to fail to nominate the finest candidate we've ever had. Obama is unqualified and unelectable.

Hillary has won ALL of the must win states for the Dem in November b y wide margins. Obama has won exactly NONE of these states and won't win them in a general. Last night, Hillary won more than 200,000 more votes than Obama! She's crushing him in every voting group except aa.

Hillary MUST stay in this race through the DNC convention in August where she will prevail. The fact is the delegates are not really "pledged" to anyone, they can vote whomever they wish. Their job is to nominate the electable candidate who can win in November, that person is and will continue to be Hillary Rodham Clinton!

Having supported the Clintons and lived through the Clinton years, I have no desire to listen to them blame, complain deny and lie again.

I find it ironic that John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Ronald Reagan are icons and both beat far more experienced candidates. Same with Bill Clinton.

Having a candidate to run against John McCain rather than arguing endlessly is critical.

I am also tired of the lies. It would be very unwise for our Country to start down the path of letting people outside the state pay for the elections.

Hillary's friends and their offer to finance the election is suspect and sleazy. Anyone who has integrity no matter who they supported would not go for either candidates' high roller out of state supporters financing an election. In Florida there are both people who did not vote and feel that they should not be punished or denied that right since they followed the rules and others who feel they voted and should be counted even though they broke the rules.

The world according to Hillary is neither democratic nor sensible.

This campaign was over when Hillary did not win by double digits in Texas it is that simple. Sesame Street Math. It is an ego trip for her and the money could be better spent if she dropped out. Obama would get the same crowds running against McCain. And at least we could hear the real debate which is the difference between McCain and the Democrats.

First it was sexism now it's "race card allegation 'revolting strategy'"

Obama had nothing to do with this ……

The Clintons should stop blaming people for their loss ……. the only people that do this are sore losers ….

They are getting too desperate …

The Clinton's sure do play the gender card though. But I guess that's okay in their book. Then again, anything they do is ok with them.

"sophia nyc May 21st, 2008 9:21 pm ET

Guess what, McCainiac?

Israel is meeting with Syria. How's that for diplomacy? Guess Obama's ideas don't sound so bad to thinking people."

I agree. Obama is a true leader and the world is inspired. Hillary and McCain just threatens to blow sh** up. You gotta give respect to get respect.

He is doing this just to try and make Obama look bad. The last time he brought this up he made very stupid remarks and then the very next morning said he did not bring up the subject again.

Honestly, the race card keeps coming up because Bill and Hill's supporters keep bringing it up.

Also, why does Bill think that saying, "I have an office in Harlem." think that it exonerates him from making racist remarks, it just means that he has an office in Harlem. Yet another stupid thing that came out of his mouth that he tried to use to show he relates to the black community.

Well. One of the people who has lost the most credibility and prestige during this primary season is the former president, Bill Clinton. None of these latest words changes that. Bill and Hillary are not dumb. They know full well of what they speak — and not. They have repeatedly played the race card, and have had not one word to say about Ferraro's mindless charges of misogyny. The height of hypocrisy: If Hillary was a man in the same position, there is no way anyone would indulge his staying in the race these past many weeks.

This is the most racist country in the world. The majority of the Racists are in the Democratic party. That is why they are being torn apart and that is why Obama will not win in November. Decent people of all Races will reject his ideology and his alliance with the Radical left wing of the Democratic party. Obama and his followers have destroyed our parent''s party. So good luck getting him by the American voters in November.

McCain will get our votes. Our America is not based on color or country of origin it is based on ability to perform. My doctor is from India. My accountant is a Gringo and my barber is a woman.

By the way I am a staunch Republican and proud of it.

Some people are not really what we thought they were; Bill knew he brought racism to the campaign; they so much underestimated Barack that they thought he would be a work over..but when Jesus say YES, no one can say no.
Hillary's slang was 'I AM IN IT TO WIN IT', very arrogant! she never put her God first; this is God that is able to do all things for those that put their trust in Him.
Bill, say the truth, Americans will forgive you but only the truth and don't mis-speak

The Clinton's are like the political version of "The Emperor's New Clothes". They are totally delusional about how they act, what they say, and what reality is.

I am an african american and I am proud to say that I am a Clinton loyalist who is very grateful for what the Clintons had done for african american in this country.

My heart broke in pieces as I was watching the harshness in the media against Hillary Clinton. I never thought that I would leave a day to see that kind of treatment against a person who served our country so well.

To all the Clintons, you will be for ever in my heart.

I always felt that Obama is just like what Bill Clinton was in 1992…Young, energetic and a change agent. It was refreshing.

After 16 years- even Obama will be a headache- just like what Bill Clinton is today.

It is very obvious that these strong opinions regarding "race" and MI & FL are from Republicans! I include the Clintons in their number!
The Clintons have been lobbying the Democratic Party since February to allow Hillary to be Nominee at the cost of destroying the Party. At this point, today, that is really beginning to happen. These folks who are supporting her exclusively or "I will vote for McCain" are crossover Republicans, many or most are women and they were enthralled only with the chance of voting for a woman, the policies were and are irrelevant to them. The Democrats will lose with them as a "new" base and by alienating the traditional base, would destroy the Democratic party PERMANENTLY!!!
Anyone who thinks the issue will be settled at the convention is insane! Hillary, Bill and Chelsea would have a snowball's chance in H_ll of remaining as Democratic insiders after such a Gong Show!

They Clintons are to be celebrated for the contribution they have made to this country. But behavior in this primary says a lot about their character and might cause some of those contributions to seem dim in comparison to their undercutting, stab in the back, and cut throat manners.

It is obvious they are more interested in winning at all cost instead of bringing the country together. The Clintons behavior has really help to divide the Dems. The more she stays in the race the more divided it will be. I hope when all is said and done they won't lose their soul. God have mercy on them.

I believe that once Obama becomes the nominee or even before he should go to some of these very towns and talk to these folks no matter how difficult it may be. Spend time there and deal with issues that are common to all Americans. These people are hungry for change too. I believe we can turn all this division in our country.

I find it odd that when a junior senator with a few months experience in the senate run for the highest office in the land,it is somehow something to be admired..HRC on the other hand could have done the same ,instead she devoted 1 full term and did her job in the senate.After that she was re-elected by 68% of the people she served.Obama,ran against a last minute candidate picked by the GOP because they needed someone to run against him.furthermore the guy lived in Virginia!!!! instead of doing the job he was elected to he decides to run for another office,one that he really wanted to.If he doesn't get the nomination,I doubt that he will go back to the senate.Because that would mean that he will have to really work(like legislate).and that lazy bum will never do it.I hope Hillary will launch an independent run,that way I don't have to vote for McCain.

Bill will never admit to his own faults as we have all learned!!!

Obama's "strategy" was to mind control the clintons and make them play the race card so he could then denounce them for playing the race card. Truely revolting.

Bill, Obama has been downplaying race as much as the media will allow him you dolt.

I can't figure out some of these Hillary supporters who continue to spew the message that Obama is stealing the primary from her.. What a crock. Obama has won more states, more votes, more delegates and more superdelegates fair and square. Even with FL and MI, he will still be ahead. You can't handle that, so be it, but quit with the silly notion that Obama has played the race/gender card and is stealing this nomination. I'm a white middle aged female who has worked every bit as hard as a man to get where I am and I'm sick of this pandering to Hillary because it's her ( our ) time. I'm sick and tired of the good ole boys club smears. Hillary knew what she was getting into as did Obama..Obama has never ever declared that he was the candidate for any particular demographic..He says he will work hard for all Americans, not just those hard working white blue collar americans..It's disgusting that the Clinton Campaign has stooped this low to try and win the nomination..This was her's to get and she blew it and has no one to blame but herself.

The Clinton's will use the black poulation, old ladies and anyone else to get what they want. They have let the cat out of the bag-they both are crazy. To think we give them television time. Let them run the country, they couldn't manage an campaign. People all over the country are laughing at them. They are fools. To think anyone would think the Clinton's care about them is ridiculous. They did play the race care, the I care about you card, the sexist card and the redneck card. The lack of character and triskster mentality is truly one for the books.

Mya-Are you ok? That does not make any sense at all. Obama has not divided anything. The Clintons have and to make such a statement confirms that there are still many ignorant individuals in this world who are willing to allow us to go down and be very disfunctional.

All the actions so far, all the flip flops so far, and now the ever moving goal posts have made the Clintons a cartoonish looking stock. Where was HRC when the primaries started ? She agreed and said FL and MI do not count. Today, when she needs to add them to her count for selfish reasons, she is making it a chivalrous act of protecting the democracy!

Their actions indicate the they will do any thing to get into the White House, believe it is owed to them according to those who served under them, and are led by purely selfish and blind ambition..

Let us respect the rules, peoles voices and stop the BS of Hard working white… talk. It is fanning divisiveness along racial lines , a tactic so well perfected by the Republicans!!

Where is my gas tax Holiday? Obama stopped it didn't he? or it turned out not to be good politics and it went away. Remember, Hillary fights for you, and will never quit on you, because you will never quit on her.

Obama 08

Like the words he spoke when he said 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman". Get a life

Ohh but the fact Hillary is saying people are sexist is ok? Do you even listen to yourself?

Fact. You said something fairly racist in SC "by mistake." Fact. Some people are racist and some are sexist.

Get over yourself and tell your wife to pack it in before McCain declares victory.

Anything Bill Clinton says has to be right, because he is 'Bill Clinton'. This is how he wants his supporters, to whom he considers as "Clinton Puppits" to believe. He professes as he is the perfect man. Every one in his family is flawless, every Clinton is just one and only, including 'Chelsea' now.

Come on, Mr. President, enough is enough. It is about time you and every one around you must realize that at one time dream of America, is about to become a REALITY; thanks to the vigour, unique energy, and the vision of 'Barak Obama'.

Obama,now willing to go half way? This is ingenous and lacks credability from the Obama camp.Put straight,it is a charade,being half cooked and served immediately to pull a fast one over the faces of several disgusted Hillary supporters!! What a traversty.It is like ordering all the canals bloked so your opponents don't get a drop of water to utilise.All of a sudden the water appears in abundance,and wham! the Obama camp are now willing to go more than half way!Back then when the campaign had just started,Florida and Michigan were the disadvantaged,uneducated bunch who did not understand the laws! You break the law you loose.According to the Obama camp,the voters were responsible for goofing.sen. Nelson and Rep. Hastings,simply and very prophetically put it this way," accepting the status quo in Florida and Michigan,is a disaster waiting to explode!Look where we are today.The Obama camp honestly did not want anything to do with the two States of Florida and Michigan in terms of revote!! Now the same advisers are willing to go furhter.It is spooky and not at all genuine.Hillary like Barack Obama are fiercly contesting to be President.So let the exagerated and manouvered tactics to win be dismantled, and the proper steps taken.that way Democracy would have seen to be implied and done.It has been a one way street all along in favor of Obama,with the unwarranted frenzy from CNN and MSNBC! Now it is time to show respect to Hillary for what agenious she is and has been all along the disgusting one sided democrat contest! that is not asking for too much.Hillary has worked very hard and very sensibly.Let the pundits who know all the prices of everything and the value of nothing;tell us which female Presidential contender has worked harder than Hillary Clinton? I will bet a penny on it!

Hillary again lost this campaign all by herself by lying, negativity, bad character and most definitely poor choice of works. She can in the race the frontrunner, more delegates, well know–and day by day as people listened to her they disliked what she spoke about, the negativity and lies. In the beginning I was for Hillary. As I listened I knew that she is not the person to represent the United States, let alone become President.

She comes from the old school of politics. I do anything to win (as you can see). Create figures that aren't actually accurate. Make statements about the popular vote (which isn't accurate). The list goes on and on.

Everything she says some new media correspodent researches it and being out the truth–like being under sniper fire in Bosnia. Surely anyone would actually remember if they were under sniper fire–stuff like that you just don't make up. The greatest lie is about being ready to be commander and chief on the first day. The only experience she has is being married to a former president and knowing other people with experience.

Most obsure is loaning her campaign the type of monies she has. If no one is giving to her campaign, then no one is following her. Where is the money for all the popular votes.

Yes, it's time for change–we need it. Fresh ideas, energetics, honesty, a new way of handling politics–besides wars, economic disasters, unemployment, loss of homes, end to racism.

Also to let the American people know that a Black person is qualified to lead and become commander in chief.

"..There are enough similarities in our childhoods and things that I think I get what he is doing.” – Bill Clinton

Obama would have never ever said such things about Bill Clinton.
Bill will never know what Obama is thinking, as Bill still doesn't know how Obama defeated the Clintons.

This is why the Clintons are divisive for more power, while Obama wants to include everyone. Unfortunately, we are yarning for a united nation.

The problem here is that everyone, including me, expected this to be a walk in the park for Hillary. A bigger problem is that Hillary, the Clinton's, the campaign staff and the Democratic party all felt the same way. The biggest problem is that Barack, his campaign staff and supporters DID NOT believe it and entered the campaign to win it!

Let's stop looking for excuses outside of ourselves Clintons. Your campaign was mismanaged from the beginning. The Clinton machine gave no credibility to Obama.

Of course, racism and sexism reared their ugly heads during this campaign. For the first time in history there was a viable African American candidate and a viable female candidate. How momentous. I rememember seeing the two of them on stage at the first debate with them alone. I was moved to tears! I am again moved to tears – sadness.

I just have a question: What would the reaction be if there was a group – AFRICAN AMERICANS FOR OBAMA? There would be a great uproar. It was not long ago African Americans were acused of voting for Obama just because he is Black. Well, there is a group WOMEN FOR HILLARY. Do we think that there is a certain percentage of women voting for Hillary just because she is a womam? Of course there are and good for them! Not too long ago Black folks were saying that Barack wasn't Black enough.

Well, let's get on with the business at hand – winning in November. Let's unite and ensure victory! That's what's most important. Even if our candidate is not the nominee we have to work had to make sure that McCain does not win.

In an interview hitting newsstands Friday, the former president said his wife Hillary Clinton has been “outspent, dismissed, denigrated, declared dead” this primary season.

In the above paragraph. Bill left out the fact that Hillary has been thoroughly defeated in every way despite using every dirty trick in the book to fool her uneducated voter base.

Bill ,
We Saw The Race Card Played By The Obama Camp , And Obama Supporters from The Begining Of This Campaign . I'm A Democrat , And I would Pick John McCain Over Obama any day !!!! .

Hillary , Or McCain 2008

Chell cryed in Iowa. Bill cry's all over, Hilary is laughable. Ya spilled the milk and so lunch is over.

I for one am looking forward to not seeing the Clinton Machine in power any longer. To much coruption and the many many outright
Lies. To much for this person.

The Obama followers and some of the media need to find any excuse for the actual shortcomings of Obama and his wife. Hillary's supporters have been called racist, stupid, etc., because we feel she is truly the most appropriate to be the President. There have been extremely nasty comments by Obama's fans with regard to Hillary. Is this what Obama inspires in you? Were some of you deprived in your upbringing that you feel the need to be so disrespectful? To connect the Bush/Clinton years together is a disgrace. I can only attribute that thinking to the possibility that one would not be old enough to comprehend how good the Clinton years were. So, this college educated person will wait and watch in November when McCain does win against Obama.

Bill Clinton is a man of the finest integrity whose every word should be accepted without question.

everyone who mentions obama's shortcomings(and there are many) is labled a racist, or they are accused of race baiting. the most racist outburst came from obama's reverend of 20 years. obama himself made elitist comments about small town pa when he implied they were a bunch of gun toting, bible thumping, bigots. bill and hillary clinton have done alot of work throughout there lives in public service for the african american community. bill and hillarys records show they are not racist people.

As for the Obama camp starting the racism..thats not true at all. Evidentally you are not keeping up with your politics. The Obama camp has been silent and they have tried very hard to avoid such foolishness. The Clinton camp started this ignorance and continued up until recently when they realized that it was not helping them but hurting them. The Obama camp has much more to offer. They have been slandered and the Clinton campaigne has pulled out all of his dirty laundry or what they think is dirty laundry and he is still winning. They need to get a new strategist ASAP!!!!

see what i find interesting is that this amerian family feel like the presidency belongs to their family.like husband,so is the wife and now the daughter.this family is power hungry.they have changed the goalpost throughout this primary season.now they've shifted the post again hoping and praying that it will work this time.

wake up president bill you and your family's lust for power is done…….MOVE ON and let someone else take the reigns of power.

say after me mr president……………VIVA EL PRESIENTE BARACK OBAMA 08/12

Brian D Alger II you are incorrect, the other candidates on the republican side did not stop opposing until McCain had attained the necessary delegates to be their nominee. As of today neither Barack or Hillary has done the same so why should either leave the race.

I think to allege that Hillary or Bill Clinton with their record on civil rights racists is disgusting, and was a card played maybe not so much by the Obama campaign, but by the Mainstream media. Obama should have denounced those allegations, but didn't because he benefited from them.

As a gay Ohioan I was disgusted that Obama stumped in SC with a known anti-gay hate slinging performer. For too many reasons to list will not vote for Obama, but as a lifelong democrat I can't vote for McCain so I will write in Hillary's name and know that with solid democratic majorities in both the house and the senate President McCain won't be able to screw things up.

Poppycock. Bill and Hilliary sought to dismiss and marginalize Obama as the Black oddity in the election and the token candidate. Their entire strategy sought to shore up what they thought was a larger broader demographic in rural whites who have extreme difficulty wrapping their minds around actually voting for a Black candidate. That has been back up by her recent effort to bring to the forefront the votes of the "hard working white Americans". They enjoyed more Black support prior to their dismissiveness of Blacks in South Carolina. The Black vote has always been a key vote in states where the White candidates split the White vote. You instituted a terrible campaign strategy. Your supporters should blame you not Obama or his supporters, or the DNC, or the Superdelegates.

I enjoy the spins – "outspent, dismissed, denigrated, declared dead"

Do you mean? didn't raise enough money, lost primaries, challenged on spins, asked to quit after mathematically losing the nomination so the party can unite.

Yes, spins are fun.

JJ-Orlando May 21st, 2008 9:36 pm ET

Lets get the facts straight for once shall we. Hillary got the popular vote there is no debate in that.
…………………………………………………………………………………….
Well actually JJ, it depends on who is counting. When I look up each state and count from this website, Obama is ahead in every metric including delegate count, popular vote count, super delegate count, total delegate count, many more states won and many more states won with margins over 10%. Even if the delegates and popular vote were counted as is, without Obama being allowed to campaign in the states of Florida and Michigan, he would still be ahead in all those measures.

But that's okay, Hillary don't let anybody steal the nomination from you just because you have lost by every measure. Just keep making stories up to convince your ?gullible supporters that you are somehow being cheated because you couldn't win by the rules.
But that's okay, even those Hillary has lost by every measure,

Obama will get the delegate vote. He will loose the general election. I am white and I just can not vote for Obama because of the way African Americans have acted in this race. Nigerian native Hakeem Olajuwon was my Idol growing up so I am far from predjudice. In North Shore, Texas—However, I was not allowed on the basketball team A team, not because I was not the best but I was white. The other day while out shopping I overheard heard African American's say "At least a brother can get us some real respect and now maybe we will be the black ones on the Dollar bill." Seriously, I'd rather it been Colon Powell than Obama. …

I am sorry. I guess I did not see and hear Hillary stand in front of a large crowd and proclaim. 'I am the one who can get the WHITE Vote!'

Obama's campaign has played the race to til its dead. It does not stick except to those who are truly thinking like racists. The comments in the past by the Clintons were twisted around.

I love to hear about people wanting Hillary to run as an Independent. Folks, that would never happen. When you leave the Party, the Party doesn't really want you back. She would loose all Dem backing, a lot of Dem money, a lot of Dem friends and probably her Dem seat in the Senate. A big risk with everything to loose. I doubt Hillary wants to have only Bill to talk to do you?

The Clinton's have shown the WORLD how RACIST the UNITED STATES is and they are pushing the RACISM to a point where I was approached by a few people from other countries and asked is that really how you white people think of the black people and other people of other races. That's disgusting. Why are you people so afraid of this wonderful black man. I think that he is doing a good job and he is much more honest and above board and above the fray than the Clintons. This was told to me by about 7 different people from other countries and it hurt me greatly. I am very ashamed. They asked me why did she lie in court, why did she lie about Bosnia, why is she telling lies now and why has she and her husband lied so much for so long and have gotten away with it. I could not give them any answer. I know that they are unsure of what I say now.

Ashamed white person

I think the super delegates need to step in and step in fast and end this insanity while they have a respectable party left because the Clintons know they wont get in but they are trying to make sure Senator Obama does either
I have lost all respect for both of them and dont know how they look at themselves in the mirror every day with a clear conscience
For the sake of your party Dems step up to the plate and end this and support the candidate who has taken the high road all through this
Obama 08

Clintons love Black voters when they vote for Clinton. They hate to call a racist card a normal thing. They do it for the political gain.

Chelsea bawled because she wants her White House wedding. I'm from Michigan, and we knew going into vote that are vote didn't count and the way I understood it the candidates also knew are vote didn't count, but Granholm (gov) is alot like Hillary she always wants her own way and nothing else matters.

HENRY….Barack Obama has been the Divider of the Democratic party. We were fine before he came on to the scene.

How dare anyone blame the Clintons. Its obvious he is not uniting anyone and has cause some real problems that are only the beginning is he steals the election and cannot win the popular vote.
********
What? Someone needs to take your computer away…you're crazy!!!!

I don't know number of the times Obama has mentioned Civil Rights, Slavery, MLK. He could not even give best wishes to Ted Kennedy without bringing up Civil Rights. Michelles comment "aint no blacks in Iowa". Ophras support and the constant mentioning of. the urgency of now. The fact that a 46 year old black man could even be running for President, etc. these are not race related comments?

As long as your white personthat says anything about race, you are racist. If Barrack Obama says anything about race, he is a saint! That is clear discrimination that the media never brings up because they will be crucified for covering that.

Racism and Sexism is being used extremely to much. These things are to be expected considering we are talking about the first female and first african american. The reality of it is Hillary is not winning. If I lived in Florida or Michigan, the last thing I would be concerned about would be running to an exit poll and voting for Hillary. She agreed to the rules in the beginning and was perfectly ok with them. It is now that she is losing that it is so "Important" that their votes count. I think that this is a very shady act that she is pulling so that she can win. If the votes did not count then, why does she care that they count now. Everyone also needs to stop acting as if this is Obama's decision and he created this mess. He just agreed to the rules like Hillary did. This is nothing for him to fix. Had this been Obama, the world would be telling him to drop out and let it go but because it is Hillary Clinton (the one who knew this was going to be a walk in the park) it is being ignored. If her close friends "superdelegates" are switching sides, then maybe that is a sign. These people know her alot better then we do and they have made such changes. Hillary supporters-its great she wants to fight but the reality of it is she needs to let it go. She is damaging the party and Mccain will win because this should not still be going on.

Bill Clinton is a racist. Period.
He is the one who invoked fairy tale stories, compared Obama wave with Jesse Jackson etc.

I cannot understand he was such a good politician at all ever – Look at how miscalculated his wife's campaign was, look at his judgment on scandal with Monica, look at his bad judgment on taking credit for stock market excesses during his presidency (the market tanked / corrected soon after) …

Hey Bill,

Guess what? I can read with understanding, am not blind or deaf.
I now racism any way you cook it and serve it.

Clinton is GUILTY.

Tell Chelsea not to bother to run for office.

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

Why do you say that HillBilly, are you having FUN??

It sounds like it, when you wont let the comments die and bring it up OVER AND OVER again… almost as if you want to prove to those "hard working, white Americans" that you are one to win their votes. You wag your finger, laugh and smile while you blame the media, the Republicans, everyone but you and your wife for a badly run campaign.

What a bunch of rubbish. The Clintons are too smart not to know that they played the race card, and now the gender card. Their problem is that it didn't work. Good riddance you old fart!

It's funny how he thinks that the race card is revolting! He has played the race card for so long that he cannot see it. His wife Hillary is doing it also and now she is equating her losing with an African Country, now, THAT'S REVOLTING. The Clintons and their campaign have a loser take all attitude and they can't believe that this Black Man has beat the S out of them and now they are using sexism, racism and anything else to get the SD's in the meanwhile they are Destroying the Democratic Party and they are still Divisive and Nasty with their campaigning it is disgusting and revolting and divisive the way they are doing in this campaign.

OBAMA 08, 09, 10, 11,12,
AND BEYOND

Stick an S on Chelsea's chest 'cause here comes kid Clinton to the rescue!!! Give me a break. Bill may easily be the single person most responsible for turning the tide to Obama's benefit… This in now all sour grapes and the absolute shock that a virtual nobody, has come out of virtually nowhere, offered a better solution, managed a better race for nomination and knocked the Clinton dynasty off their high horse. Get over it Bill!!!

i have beeen following this primary every day which is a first for me.from everything ive seen and heard its amazing to me how anyone with any reasonable intelligence cant see hillary for what she is.she will lie cheat steal slander degrade and do whaever else comes to her scheming mind to get in the whitehouse.obama has been honest from day one i hope america realizes the opportunity it has with this man as president,it will be up to the people of america to raise their voices so that a terrible mistake is not made

The basic difference between Bill Clinton and Obama is that one is running to win, while the other, running to serve.

After getting out of poverty, some people strive for richness in material goods and power, while others do not see poverty as lacking everything.

Bill did not grow up feeling secure, while Obama, though poor, grew up with plenty of love. Kids don't know poverty if they are loved and have food to eat.

Of course, it's not something they could have control over.
But it produces the two very different persons we see today.

Race has been an issue, but at least Obama tried to be open and honest and deal with it from an open minded standpoint. The Clintonsy on the other hand used it in a negative way and it back fired on them. They have cried unfairness, sexism, media issues, and so forth. The real issue is that they have overspent their time in the campaign and are being viewed very negative.

The votes in W. Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky are racist states–People who have a fear of anyone not the same color as they are. Guilt over things of the past.

We just want to have the party come together behind the nominee, Barack Obama, and win the general election. Hillary is not helping to do this due to the size of her ego.

Wow talk about brain washed Obama supporters. Clinton supporters see nothing but what they want to. How many women are voting for Billary because she is a women? You certainly are not voting for her because she is honest and trust worthy, so why then? Because she is a women. But go ahead and vote for McBush and see what happens to your country. Cut your noses off to spite your faces..thats real smart.

Okay, the clintons still don't get it. It is not about you! You are not entitled to the presidency so quit sabotaging yourselves. Chelsea Bawled…."I am not going to let my mother go down like this". Give me a break. This is not some race for valor or pride or status. This is about issues and people's livelihoods. Stop the me me me all the world revolves around the Clintons crap. And Clintons need to take responsibility for bring "Race" into this campaign. They are just upset because Americans have changed, do want to see a change of guard and are not buying into all that crap. WHy was it necessary to bring Jessie Jackson into the race and to use the word fairy tale when people are talking about hopes and dreams?

Of course Bill has to say something to justify why her wife is losing to race. Would he attack everyone who say Clinton is almost dead in the race (of course she is, maybe the campaign must use the delegate calculator found on this page) if she is the leader and not the underdog? This is just a political strategy to give her some air. Wake up

I think that one thing that most people forget about this race is that there are really 3 people in it – 2 sides but 3 people. The clinton's hav absolutely everything going for them: Two extremely well known personalities, using their fame to the fulles potential. Toghether , they are able to cover twice the grownd and reach twice the number of people (not mention Chelsea's contributions) that Obama can.

The cLintons are endlessly lamenting being outspent in each state. I maintain that this level ove spending on Obama's part is the minimum reqired just to balance things out a lttle bit.

The Clintons are a very wll recognized brand. The Obama's are not and as any marketer knows, the introduction of a new products requires extraordinary investment to achieve market pentration.

Perhaps the reason the clinton brand is not selling is that it has lost its luster ( or worse, soured completely.

Think about it – do you think the man has a plan? maybe he wants to be the ONLY President Clinton in the history books. Maybe he's afraid after she became president and made the history books, he'd be nothing but a footnote. i think what he says is very planned and very calculated – as in let's see what kind of damage i can do today. I think he's a man with a plan!!

Maybe Bill Clinton just shouldn't talk whether he's tired or not. As I recall, the Clintons have used that strategy a time or two during the campaign. He's one of the reasons I didn't vote for her. I didn't vote for him and I see no reason to change now.

Go Hillary! If he steals the nomination with his pandering and lies go independant! Nobama noway

As a South Carolina educated African American woman, I certainly did not need the media to tell me that Bill Clinton played the race card. I was able to figure that out myself and was not influenced by the so called media conspiracy plots. I voted for Bill Clinton twice…and proudly. I have been so disappointed to watch the Clinton's stoop to exploiting existing racial tensions to get to their desired end.

my brother did the same thing in Jan, asked for leave of absense from his job to help Hillary campaign.

oh wait, he was laid off. normal people dont get to ask that kind of leave and keep their job, and we have to fight to keep our jobs

Bill –

I defended you in Monicagate / Impeachment to the very end. (Private matter, not an impeachable offense.)

I defended you and Hillary in the long, drawn out right wing conspiracy to find something on you to bring you down … WhiteWater …Travelgate … Paula "Whatever her name was" saga.

I have to call you on the carpet for this one … you and Hillary race baited in this election … you did … and you got caught. Additonally you've pandered, spread rumor and innuedo, spoken half truths all in the name of winning.

Additonally, you are widely recognized as manipulating every situation. While all this may appeal your's and Hillary's Yale Law School backgrounds … it turns the rest of us off.

You and your wife have twisted every story like a flag in the wind… it truly hurts me to say this to you because I was a big, big supporter of yours …

bill, YOU are the one who played the race card, YOU are the one who ruined your wife's campaign single handedly.

Barack Obama has been the Divider of the Democratic party. We were fine before he came on to the scene.

How dare anyone blame the Clintons. Its obvious he is not uniting anyone and has cause some real problems that are only the beginning is he steals the election and cannot win the popular vote.

I believe when Hillary asked Opera to be her Vice President, It scared the grey into the men in politics. Lets get the facts straight for once shall we. Hillary got the popular vote there is no debate in that. Obama will get the delegate vote. He will loose the general election. I am white and I just can not vote for Obama because of the way African Americans have acted in this race. Nigerian native Hakeem Olajuwon was my Idol growing up so I am far from predjudice. In North Shore, Texas—However, I was not allowed on the basketball team A team, not because I was not the best but I was white. The other day while out shopping I overheard heard African American's say "At least a brother can get us some real respect and now maybe we will be the black ones on the Dollar bill." Seriously, I'd rather it been Colon Powell than Obama. ….Go Hillary!

I had all my education in India, living in US for last 25 years. Based on all the arguments by Clintons, I think they don’t know any math and they have no importance of honesty. Until this election I was a big fan of President Clinton. President Clinton says there are some similarities between him and sen. Obama, I hope sen. Obama is not at the same moral level as President Clinton was, I hope we all remember all the sandals of President Clinton.

I thought it was interesting that Hillary had no problem playing the race card when her "vast experience" card impact went down the toilet. I found it really pathetic when she tried playing the "gender" card. It was just like an elementary school playground complaint–you're all just picking on me cause I'm a girl…………….. But when Bill played it, the feeling was almost ironic, then became more and more sinister. This pair will do anything to achieve their goals, absolutely anything! But they sure met their match with a slicker, smoother talking used car salesman and his shill.

I must agree with Bill, the Clintons playing the race card WAS a "cold-blooded, calculated, manipulated, and a revolting strategy." So, why is Hillary still doing it? Also when you and Mrs.Clinton made these disparaging comments regarding race it was BROAD DAYLIGHT! Curious that you were tired then. Interesting that he thinks Chelsea is a bowl floater like himself and the Mrs. "She's good at it". "After her mother lost Iowa Chelsea was upset, bawled….", typical of a spoiled brat. Seems the nut doesn't fall far from the tree, a carbon copy of Hillary.

My father is from Kentucky, my mother from Canada. My mother and I moved to
Canada because we could no longer stand the racist attitude of that state
(also prevalent in Tenn and WV). That was over 40 years ago. I see that not
a lot has changed in these states over the years despite the tremdous
maturity/growth in the rest of the country.
A racist will not vote for a black person under any circumstances (many
racist will also choose a man over a woman). In my opinion, I would NOT want
such people in my party anyway.
I fail to understand why Sen. Clinton considers her successes in these
states is something to brag about, unless of course she is on some sort of
Power Trip… not unlike Bill and GW were/are.
I wish Americans luck in your struggle to educate such people. Start now and
perhaps in a generation it may change. On a more positive note, if Sen. Byrd
can change there is hope! I believe that 4/8 yrs with Obama as your Pres.
will go a long way to help you in your struggle. Regardless, our
prayers are with you ALL and God Help/Bless America.

Bill Clinton is a politician who is not always honest!
As a former supporter of his- we are very disappointed.
Confronted with the facts- he will continue to deny.
Both Clintons consider themselves entitled- a good reason why tro vote Obama.

Go Bill – this country needs more people like yourself and your wife running it! Obama is about to sink the Democratic party and hopes if he claims the nod…

It's going to be a very, very sad November….

I don't know why there are still people out there that think Hillary Clinton has a chance at the nomination. It seems that even she has accepted her loss at this point.

She can stay in the remaining races for the sake of completion, but let's not pretend she is viable at this point.

"Clinton said the allegation that he and Sen. Clinton played the race card was a “cold-blooded, calculated, manipulated, and a revolting strategy,”

Right on mark! Thank God someone said it at last. Obama camp played the race card.

I think President Clinton needs to be maturer. I don't think an excuse of "making comments when being very tired' is reasonable — Isn't Sen. Clinton tough enough to handle any calls at 3 am? If I am not mistaken, the Clintons' regrettable comments with implication of race came during the time when most people are up (i.e. not after the midnight!).

Bill—-

Get Hillary to run as an Independent—she can win—-don't give in to these Democratic party "hacks."

NObama and No McCain!!!

Hillary keep going. I just donated more money to your campaign. Your issues are my issues and you are by far one of the smartest women in the world.

We love Hillary!

the pundits are wrong and we will not unite or rally behind Obama and though I am a Democrat I will not blindly support Obama or his militant wife. Actually, I tried to like them but his message does not resonate with me.

I fear the DNC is afraid not to pander to the Donna Brazille who cannot hide her support for Obama and all the blacks who are already threatening race riots if the does not get nomination even though he does not represent the country as a whole.

I am praying that if Barack steals this election against the will of the people the popular vote that a really good independent can step him.

What about the sexist card played by HRC? Oh… I guess we can't go there….

Aww! That is really admirable of Chelsea to leave her job to be able to campaign for her mother, full time. It just shows what kind of commitment she's made to her family, and to her country. I'm really undecided between Hillary and Barack, because I think they're both two great candidates. Not that my opinion matters, though, because I'm just a voter from Florida.

He's lied about the timing of Hillary's sniper fire lie in the exact same way . Now he's repeating this same "late at night when I/she was tired" falsehood about his own statements. What is with he an Hillary continuing to lie even after their lies (sniper fire) have been exposed? It's creepy.

Although Obama and Bill grew up poor, Obama's mother was a scholarly anthropologist with a Ph.D.. It must be her love of the history of the humankind that drove Obama to love people from all races around the world and in the US. This is why Obama can see the world and the nation, no matter how poor they were, inclusively, instead of divisively.

Neither Bill nor Hillary can understand Obama and his vision, because growing financially poor doesn't necessarily mean intellectually poor.

Obama's mother made Obama presidential in his childhood.
It's what Bill and Hillary are lacking that makes Obama great.
Obama should have written a book about his mother.

It is just very interesting that Senator Kennedy from a rich family could recognize Obama within such a short time, while Bill and Hillary are blind-folded by their personal ambition and greed for a third term.

Joe – he's not "Slick Willie" anymore. He's "Sick Willie". This guy has lost his marbles, and the American people have lost their respect for him. Former presidents are supposed to be elder statesmen – not vicious political hacks.

Bill Clinton is right — playing the race card IS a revolting strategy; too bad it is he and his wife who are doing it.

It is a sad commentary on the state of this primary race. The pundits have been stating what is racist and have backed it up with the words from their own mouths. I appreciate their misspeaking due to tiredness but life goes on. We all forget that Hillary was the presumed nominee from day one and her campaign lost it, no one else.

Boo-hoo-hoo!! Sore losers!

I have never seen such power-hungry liars! Hillary and Bill's CLAIMS that they care so much about the American people is the BIGGEST LIE of all! They only care about getting into the White House. Why is Hillary trying to disenfranchise the voters from the many caucuses Obama won?? She does not care about them because it does not further her own selfish ambitions. Every day Hillary and her campaign comes up with another metric to try to cheat their way back into the White House.

give me a break… the clintons have played every card in the book, sexism, racism, to overall victim.

don't play dead now — go back to arkansas were you belong…

OBAMA 08!!

hillary is finished thanks to bill

The Clinton's have never started anything racist. The Obama camp started it from the get go and still continue to this day. The Obama staff and campaign supporters keep it up every day. They should be ashamed of themselves. Hillary keep fighting for the presidency. We need you in the White House to fix the mess the Bush administration has made. There is no way that Obama can do it. He doesn't know anything. We still support you 100%. Keep fighting Hillary. HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!

Man, I've heard it all. Remember, people saying if Hillary were a man, noone would dare ask her to step out. Look at the republican race, as soon as the canidate was inevitable by the math, the others were pressured to step aside. I think we see more of the gender card than race card here. They are hypocrits.

Check your nose Bill because it has been growing at an alarming rate.

Oh please, the Clintons are pros at politics and time and time again have subtly played the racist card and the gender card. I have tried not to join in with the Clinton negatives but to think that the Clintons have not been calculating the race aspect is to not take into account that politics run in their blood and they will use whatever tool that they can to try and win the nomination. I do not think that the Clintons themselves are racist, just ultimate politicans.

I voted for Bill Clinton. I defended him with my conservative friends. But after this election, i have lost all respect for him and Hillary. His a revolting strategy comment applies well to Hillary's campaign tactics, like her and McCain are the only qualified commander in chief, Like the "white" hard working voters, etc. Come on Bill, you really are "Slick Willie".

I don't understand this guy – his actions are indefensible and are the clear mark of a man that knows when he (or his wife) is beaten. Good riddance to both Clintons and God Bless America!

it's not an allegation.it's true.you had your chance in the white house,and you brought shame to the institution,with your philandering ways.get out!and take your old hen with you.

Totally agree. It is so obvious.

It is a tragedy and it is Hillary that is using it.
She said it , the white vote is hers.
Its not true, but we know, everyone knows that her white vote is the
votes of those that will not vote for a biracial person.
We do not need Hillary, we do not need Bill.
We do not need obliteration.
Hillary is wrong and she will never change.

Get a grip people, it's all over for Hillary, she lost, pack it in.

I guess I don't understand when Obama exercised this "revolting strategy". When did Obama ever accuse them of playing the race card.

In addition, Bill DID play the race card after South Carolina. Why else would he go out of the way to compare Obama to Jesse Jackson? He was making the subtle argument that Obama was just a marginal black candidate, like Jackson and Sharpton.

Sorry Bill, like most things coming out of your mouth, this doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Susan stop flip-flopping on who you support.

Clintons played the race card? What a bizarre media invention. Any loss or set back for Obama has had him whining racism sometimes on a daily basis. Of course, his followers do it every few minutes. It has worked for him, sadly.

Oh no – and a report of of Chelsea bawling – and Bill caring about his spouse – you know – human emotions. The Ozombies will be cruel – just watch……

But don't dare say anything about Obama's spouse! The hypocracy is so deep as to need hip waders!

Get off it, Bill. You opened your mouth and the words came out. It seems that Mis-speak happens quite often in the Clinton household. Tell Chelsea to stop saying, "It's none of your business" to your issues of being a Playa.

Don't you have a teacher or someone to try and sleep with?

Guess what, McCainiac?

Israel is meeting with Syria. How's that for diplomacy? Guess Obama's ideas don't sound so bad to thinking people.

Bill, I just adore Hillary and your daughter, and especially you. I voted for you both times, and I wish to heavens you were still there. We are in a mess now. It scares me to death to think Obama may go in. He is not the person we need now. Someone with some sense is needed now. I think the Democrat party has lost its bearings. What are they thinking? Please dont let Hillary stop. Maybe someone will come to their senses before its too late.
Best wishes.

Bill Clinton is sounding like a rebel military leader somewhere in a war ravaged third world country who does not have the backing of the people but wants to be thrust to power through one way or another. His wife accuses Obama oftrying to idsenfrancise Florida and Mich voters when she agreed to the rules and the banning before the primaries/caucuses there. I think we sould realise that there are so many people who did not go and vote there because of the DNC's ruling i think those are the ones that would be really disenfrancised if the current 'so-called ' results from there are considered. Honest people who obeyed the rules. She is devious and wants to get a free ride to the white house. Wish her luck because she really needs it, i wonder what kind of president she will be , one that would have got the nomination via the back door

Agree.
I did not see anything racist in Mr. Clinton's words ever. All is in what people "want" to hear and see. If someone is looking for negative, wro=ng, they will find it no matter what…..everything can be twisted. All was so much "wanted" to paint Clintons bad.

Keep going HIllary.

You will be a good president.

We need one who is experienced, for all the people, and a fighter.

Hillary 08

Hillary go all the way please we need you
