Comments on: Clinton op-ed: 'Why I Continue to Run' http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/25/clinton-op-ed-why-i-continue-to-run/ All politics, all the time Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:22:40 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Marty FL http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/25/clinton-op-ed-why-i-continue-to-run/#comment-1141007 Marty FL Sun, 25 May 2008 20:44:36 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7337#comment-1141007 Over the last two days, I have tried to remain objective with Senator Clinton over her RFK reference. I do not believe she meant any harm to her fellow colleague, but regardless of the intent, the comment was completely inappropriate. As this primary has progressed, it has become more and more challenging for me to retain the respect I have long held for Senator Clinton. If Clinton says she is the best candidate to go against Senator McCain, what is she waiting for to show it? She has wasted so much valuable time triangulating against a fellow Democrat (now I see what that term means), instead of going "toe to toe" with McCain. Most Democrats would rather see how our candidates would go against the Republican nominee, but Obama seems to be the only one doing that now (very well I might add). Clinton has a lot of ground to make up now as far as I am concerned. Hillary is going to have to re-earn some respect at this point, and the only I see it happening is if she ends this contest with some dignity after June 3rd and campaigns like she really means it for Obama, who will likely be the nominee by sheer mathematics. It is the only way I see how the Clintons retain their legacy for the future. I pray they are listening. Si se puede!

I do not want the deceit, lies, pension for inciting unrest, dividing the country, instilling greater racial problems than needed to be. Well, there's just NO WAY.

The dopes from Hope are a truly lost cause. And, the only office for McCains age group is Pope, but I doubt he would qualify with friends like Mr Hagee.

Yall always want to blame Obama for everything and never take responsiblity for your own actions, please. "Clinton campaign co-chairman Terry McAuliffe said Sunday that she had been making a valid point about the timeline of the race, telling Fox News Sunday that “a hyped-up press over Memorial Day weekend, the Obama campaign inflaming it, tried to take these words out of context.”

No No No campaign co-chairman dont blame this on the Obama camp your canidate made her own gaffe and the media inflamed it, it was well on its way to being an issue before the Obama camp even replied.

Sun, 25 May 2008 19:58:55 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7337#comment-1140964 Hillary is still running for one reason only-she can't believe and will not accept that she has lost the nomination. It wasn't supposed to end this way. She was the front runner before any votes were cast. She had the democratic establishment on her side, with over 100 superdelegates pledged to her before the first vote was cast. She had more money than any of the other candidates before a single vote was cast. But when the votes were cast, they didn't pick her. IOWA picked Obama and Edwards over her! And we all know it was downhill from there. So, what else can she do, but hope and pray for something to go wrong with Obama because if she isn't the nominee, her story will go down as one of the greatest political tragedies ever. And her story will not be written that she was somehow the subject of sexism, but utter organizational and management failure. It was her fault and her poor management skills that led to her fall. Her campaign management was a part of her audition for the role of president and she blew it big time!

Is it Obama's fault that he ran his campaign based around the current voting rules of the party? He went after delagates and did very will with the caucuses. He campaigned very very well. A year ago Clinton was the favorite and Obama was chasing a dream. Is it Obama's fault that Michigan and Florida broke the rules? Let's not forget that whether she liked it our not Clinton went along with the punishment until she start to fall behind. Obama wants some voice to be heard by Florida and Michigan. Don't disenfranchise the caucus votes in order to claim Clinton has the vote lead. That is as bad as not counting Floriday and Michigan. If we need to fix the caucus system it's best to do so after this nomination process not during and discounting the voice of hundreds of Americans. Lastly for Clinton supporters, do some homework on Obama. Read his Blueprint for change. There is a lot of substance to his policies and speeches. You will find that he and Clinton are not that different in policies. They are very different in approach that is all. (that's saying you don't count age,race and gender.) Obama's upbrining and family is probably more like yours or you can relate to his background if you take a look. Hilary is great, but ran a poor strategy for the nomination. Don't blame Obama for it and vote McCain. Think for a minute people. Is it Obama's fault that he ran his campaign based around the current voting rules of the party?
