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.

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? 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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".

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. WHOM changed the rules? Is the truth being told on CNN?

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. OOMMGGG!!! They both need to STOP!! Hilary is throwing the gender card in the ring with her hintch women Ferreraro and Feminst groups.

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. Go away Bill! Nobody has done so much harm to their reputation in such a short time.

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. Senator Obama is exactly the person we need for these times and for the situations we face.

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.
