A true winner does not just just squeak by on a technicality. Hillary was supposed to have had this nomination by a landslide. How could Barack come in and 'sneak' or 'steal' it if it really belonged to Hillary? Vote McSame and watch Hillary be humbled by the Republican president!

She hasn't achieved anything in this world except take credit for Ted kennedy's healthcare plans/ideas. This is why I hate Hillary and her campaign. they have been telling americans they won the race and that Barack is an inadequate black man. This is so wrong on all levels, and no she would not have won. The final popular vote numbers are not accurate, no one in the media seemed to take into account the 200,000 republicans who voted for Hillary by the persuasion of Rush Limbaugh's "Operation chaos". And all the caucus states that didn't get counted by the Clinton campaign. please post this is another stupid pathetic ploy to force us americans to vote for the worst candidate in US history, HILLARY CLINTON.

I supported her up until super Tuesday. She lost. That was when she should have dropped out. Anything after that was her own ego and it divided the dem. party in a year it should not have. The Clinton's best get on board. Their time is coming to an end. Same as McCain -- age matters and its time for young, educated and caring people in Washington. Clinton did a great job and can have a future but president or vp is out. Hillary, work on health care!!! We need it. No she would not have! I supported her up until super Tuesday. She lost.

Stop whining, and grow up, Clinton and her aides ran probably the worst primary campaign imaginable and had absolutely no plan beyond February. Don't blame that on Edwards, don't blame it on sexism, don't blame it on Bill. The campaign was poorly managed, take responsibility for it and stop with the "woulda, coulda, shoulda" arguments.

They forget that his mother's side of the family was WHITE, which makes him half WHITE. The people of Iowa voted for Obama because they got to know him and wanted CHANGE in this nation and we need it bad! For the record, McBush is not change he is just set in his Mcwar ways, and has a bad attitude about life in general...Like most repubs. Lastly, Hilary loss because she ran a horrible campaign and she let President Clinton out to play...nuff said!

In Iowa Edwards had a huge advantage and took away many votes from Clinton. He retained all his support from 2004 when he got 2nd. Essensially he had been campaigning there for 4 years straight. Also he took alot of the Kerry backers, as there was a notion there that had the 2004 ticket been reversed, the democrats would have won. Edwards had an artifitial advantage in Iowa, and constituency that was identical to Hillary's. Had Edwards been forced to drop out, many of the Unions would have backed Hillary and Edwards constituency would have broke roughly two thirds for Hillary, and won her Iowa. This momentum would have increased her margins in NH and NV and carried her to Super Tuesday. Obama won because of Axelrod and Ploufe and a perfect storm caused by Edwards. I agree with Wolfson.
