Hillary is the one trying to lie, cheat, and steal the nomination from Obama. Hillary has almost NO EXPERIENCE unless you count the few years she shared a bed with Bill. If Bill did not cheat on Hillary, she never would have won the senate seat and she and Bill would just be a stain on our history like Monica's dress. Bill and Hillary are the dirtiest politicians in American History. I cant believe that everyone has forgotten all the dirty, cheating, lying games they played while in the White House. With this kind of memory, Bush will be compared to George Washington in a few years. Obama has played by the rules and not tried to change the rules.

I do have a brain....but fail to see how living in the governor's mansion and watching her husband chase tail and living in the white house and watching her husband chanse tail amounts to experience....we've long since decided that her dodging bullets in Bosnia does not count as experience since it was a fabrication. What experience does she have? She has less elected position experience than he does...please since you obviously have a brain, explain to us all what her experience is??? Also, since she is so much a person of action and not just words, what action has she taken to get her 'gas tax holiday gimmick' set into law? What has she done other than tell the hard working uneducated people that is her broad support that she wants to do that for them. They, unfortunately believe her, and as the polls indicated that was instrumental to roughly 57% of the people in KY but she has done nothing--taken no action---to implement that.

Why won't you post this?</i> Hey, before y'all go callin' Kentucky voters a bunch of racists, consider this: Obama is only <i>half</i> black. That means that Kentucky voters are only <i>half</i> racist! YEEEE-HAWWW! Seriously, go look at the county-by-county results for Kentucky and pay attention to the margin of victory by Clinton in each of the counties. As you get towards the back-woods counties in the eastern part of the state, Clinton wins by 80% or more. As you get towards the more industrialized parts of the state (like Louisville) the race is much tighter. This is not due to a large African American population. This is due to an educational gap. People in larger cities follow the news much closer than those in rural areas. They are exposed to more racially diverse conditions and are much less prejudiced. I'm not saying that rural voters are dumber. They're just more ignorant to the world around them. And ignorance breeds prejudice. Those are just the facts. Come on, CNN! Why won't you post this?

Sure you can stay home or vote McCain out of your "bitterness", but what good does that do? Would you vote for Bush again if he was up for re-election knowing the harm he would do just out of anger that Clinton lost? Do you really want us to stay in Iraq and lose more soliders because you are that petty?
