I am a life long Democrat and if these Obama suporters are really Democrats, I would be surprised! Those of you who keep repeating that Florida and Michigan should have no delegates because they did not follow the rules, must be as dumb as dog do do, how in the hell do think a Democrat could win in the fall without those two states. You must be closet Republicans to be that dumb.

So the truth comes out: the Clintons wanted this Wright scandal. They want to demean Barack for being half-black and make him into a racial candidate. That's funny because I thought Bill Clinton was the first BLACK president. Also, if "guilt by association" is a problem for Obama, then Hillary isn't guilty for embracing her husband's cheating ways? What was she doing in the White House while Bill was NOT engaging in sexual relations with Monica? Also, can anyone say sipping martinis is real experience? LOL.
I guess Hillary cares more about superdelegates than the black vote. And by the way, blue collar voters aren't all stupid. They won't fall for your tactics. White blue collar voters are not ALL racists. Give it up, Hillary! And who wants Bill back in the office anyway? I think Hillary should be filing for a divorce after all these years.

The Clintons are just closet Republicans, Bill Clinton passed NAFTA, media consolidation, so called welfare reform,  etc.  Best president the Republicans ever had

To Obama supporters--
Answer this simple question:
Do you really want to see a democrat in the white house? If the answer is yes, you should stop your Hillary hating. Isn't that what your messiah Obama preaches, to stop hating?

Never in the history of the Obama campaign has race relations been so important as to divert attention from the comments Rev Wright made about justification for what Al Qaida did to the United States. It's what is known as diversion. While Barack Obama is squabbling about race relations in the United States, John McCain is traveling around the world, and excercising his foreign policy experience with Middle Eastern countries, and trying to create dialogue between Tibet and China.

Is Bill trying to mooch up to Cindy McCain?

The Clinton's feel that if Hillary's 8 years of homemaking in the White House can't get her elected then to hell with the democrats. They so want to be a poor man's Kennedy's it's disgusting.

Obama 08

Wheres Obamas records will he have a record of his lemo ride with Sinclair

Still the Clinton's aren't going to a church and letting the Pastor tell all the little kids "God Damn America" are they.
See, you lost the right to condemn the Clinton's on anything cause your guy compares his grandmother to Pastor Wright. Isn't that nice. The woman who took him in when his mama didn't want him-made him cringe. Poor little boy. He looked real upset with her when he was living the high life in the islands man. Didn't he look oppressed in his college picture with Grandma and Grandpa. They looked so proud of him. It's really sad how he just stepped on her grave.  So Obama people-- all the black people I know would cut out their tounges before they would say anything about the Grandmothers who raised them. Ya, you got a winner there. Must make ya real proud.
Sure that Firstread won't print this. It just doesn't fit with the Obama Rama spin they got goin.

Didn't Hillary look bad today? Bags under her eyes and looked like big bird. And Bill "cookie monster" Clinton approval ratings are down. Tears down McCain than praises him? Do I hear bi-polar?

I find it scary to see Bill actually say something truthful re McCain. What could he be up to now?

if hilliary loses the nomination to obama we'll have bush league another 4 yrs. as mccain is shadow of bush who is an embarassment to the presidency.

I'm pretty amazed(although after some thought, should'nt be), that Obama's side step on his mentor/pastor/adopted family member, for 20 yrs. got a pass.  If what this guy said, and he was white, he'd be called the new Hitler.  And CNN would crucify the dude.  End of story.  Double Standard..ya think? I'm an independent... got no time for militants in either party.  People should be scared.  This is the best we have to offer for a President?  Sad state of affairs.  The bar is so low now...

Bill Clinton is a charlatan and knows his co-president wife doesn't have a chance to win the nomination.  I think he and his wife single handedly destroyed the Democratic Party's capital.  Praising her Republican foe and disparing Obama was unforgivable.  If she were to miracuously get the nomination, I would vote for McCaine.

First off, I agree that a compromise solution should be worked out so that Michigan and Florida have some say in the current election cycle. That said, I think it is a shame that Clinton is using a legitimate concern of the states' voters to win political points.

The problem with Clinton is that she's so transparent, but not in a good way! She presents herself as championing the democratic process when it suits her campaign but just as easily ignores vox populi in states where she lost. Now we read reports of her financial supporters (read: big business) getting into the act, harassing the DNC to push for a revote in Florida and Michigan. Obviously, they are anxious about not getting some kind of a return on their "investment"....

What is the real reason Bill is backing McCain. Maybe all of the "kitchen sink" strategies of race issues and supposed unfair treatment of his wife has him realizing that a black man will be running for president against McCain.  I mean what is the real reason Hillary was offering up 12 million dollars to the state of Michigan for a re-do.  Trying to buy her way into the White House. Face it Bill and Hillary never thought that Obama would ever be in this position.  If Bill Clinton would have kept his mouth shut, he would not have lost all of that crucial black vote. And might I add, whites, latinos, asians, and native americans decided not to back her after his comments as well. As far as McCain goes, McCain can not even figure out the difference between insurgents, the Taliban, and Al Queda and where they are, where they are training, or where they are coming from. If Bill and Hillary can not get back into the White House to continue their conniving, deceitful, manipulative, and scandalous ways, Bill most definitely will push for McCain to win.  The Clintons have truly showed their colors.  How about this - McCain/Hillary Clinton.  That is what the Clinton campaign is promoting and is disseminating on the airwaves. They will never get my vote. I am not interested in seeing my tax paying dollar go to support Bill's libido and Hillary's refusal to do anything about it.

THANK YOU MSNBC FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES!!! YOU ENDORSE  AND PROMOTE A MAN WHO LACKS APPROPRIATE JUDGMENT TO LEAD THIS NATION!( OBAMALIAR ) IF HILLARY'S OPTION NARROW SDESPITE HER NATIONAL POPULARITY SURPASSING OBAMA(GALLOP POLL)...THEN YOU WILL SEE ANOTHER REPUBLICAN TAKE OFFICE IN 2008!

UNITED STATES CITIZENS WILL NEVER ALLOW OBAMA THE LIAR TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT!!!!HE IS A RACIST AND A WEAK CONTENDER!  

AND FOR THOSE OBAMA CULTIST WHO THINK MY POST IS RACIST...LOL SO BE IT....AT LEAST I HAVE A MIND TO THINK RATHER THAN HAVE DELUSIONS OR BE HOODWINKED INTO A MESSIAH WANNA BE....YOU GUYS ARE SO TOUCHY FEELY IT'S SICKENING.....WEAK LOSERS!!

Again, the McCain/Clinton '08 ticket at work.... I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

And before the largely student crowd, he highlighted his wife's plan to forgive some student loan debt in return for public service.

-------
His wife's plan???  Get real.  That's Obama's plan.  I clearly remember listening to Obama talk about this plan, and discussing it with my kids (one in college, one soon to be)  LONG before Bill decided to claim this as "his wife's plan."  

So now the Clinton's are trying to own one of Obama's economic plans while at the same time putting the "McCain would make a fine president" idea out there.  Just how stupid do the Clintons think we are?

Did anyone else see this from the Chicago Sun Times?

Dear Bill,

Did you not realize this will come off as something of an endorsement for Sen McCain over Sen Obama?  I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were actually trying to make the case for Sen Clinton as the best candidate to take on Sen McCain.  But GEEZ man!  Get your head back in the game (the one that starts in Aug).  Yes, it is a pitty that you can't say in public "I like John McCain" and have everyone understand you simply mean that you like John McCain.  That's what regular, unfamous people get to do.  However, you are an ex-President involved in a contentious primary campaign who's words carry weight way beyond what citizen Bill Clinton thinks sitting on a barstool.  What you say will be parsed, and analyzed and laundered beyond all recognition.  You spent 8 years in the White House fishbowl fer cryin' out loud; GET YOUR HEAD BACK IN THE GAME!

The Clintons are an amazing act! I'm beginning to think they were abscounded by Republicans, brain-washed, then let loose on the public.
Hillary's ego is destroying the Democratic Party and they both are giving an assist to the opponent.
If this were a basketball game they'd both be benched!Too bad the stakes are so high and the only thing you can blatantly see are their EGOS.

Hillary is tearing our party apart for her own ego.

Consider the following:

1) Hillary has received less than 40% of the vote in 22 out of 41 contests so far.  Barack has received less in only 4 contests.  This means that most of the time he is no only beating her, but beating her by a enormous margin.  In the few contest she actually won (and in two of those it was so close that Barack actually won the most delegates.) she barely beats Barack.  If this was any other cadidate in any other race the party would be screaming for her to stand down so the stronger candidate can focus on the big prize.

2) Hillary is willing to throw the entire party under the Bus if she doesn't get the nomination.  Her comments that only she and McCain can pass the Commander in Chief test are ridiculous and very careless.  She is yielding the point to the opposition no matter who wins and then basically leaving a ticking time bomb if she doesn't.  It is all about Hillary (I'm in it to win it ... at any cost)

3) There is no Hillary mo (momentum).  Since super tuesday Barack is beating Hillary 15 1/2 to 2 1/2,  I don't care what analogy you use this is a near shut out.  Even since Barack went 12-0 against her, he has increased his delegate lead and beat her 3 1/2 to 2 1/2.  The media would be screaming she needs to step down and pointing out the litany of reasons why.  They don't because they are really biased toward Hillary and the subtle comments over and over again on CNN suggest its close or create fantasy reasons to still consider her as viable.  Consider last night as they did the detailed analysis on the map and said see these couple of districts she won, well they were republican so who can get part of the rebulican vote (the inference they want you to draw is that she can get more of the vote.)  What they didn't tell you is that Barack won more of the republican districts than Hillary did and by correct inference would draw more republican votes than Hillary did.

4)  No one can deny Barack has done amazing things for getting people excited about our party especially the young voters.  Once Hillary is through with all of her destroy everyone but me, trash everyone but me, have my team slander every one a give back handed apologies, use any one at any time, say anything at any time, approach these young voters will feel about the party the same way we felt with the Gore vs Bush debacle.

5) Hillary billed 1000 (1/2 a year) on whitewater but under oath had no recollection about what she did.  Is that the kind of memory we want taking those 3:00 am calls?????

Barack has built up so much for our party and Hillary is a one women wrecking crew.

How can you bring a "racially divided" country together with a potential leader that has been a member of a congregation who has leadership that is racial?  Obama gives "inspiring" speeches to those that are not really listening.  

This is a response to Patty, Please don't embarrass all Californians, We're not all racist, and ignorant like you. Oh Patty, I'm sure you're too dumb to list the reasons of "substance" why you love the Clintons so much. Let me guess, you and your boss in the next room, your husbands watching tv?

Give me a break, Bill is getting too old, The Clinton parade is getting silly, She is all appearance but actually has spent all her lack of experience by screaming at people.
Now her records are out, and we find nothing.
She is all hat and no cattle.
"The Empty Barrel Makes too Much Noise".

I pray that "United States of Americans" see what they want,decide on who should lead them in unity and where other countries would happily network! God bless!

I love how much praise is going to the John McCain from the Democratic Party.  As an active duty member of the USAF, I would hope nothing less.  I salute you officer McCain.

But on the other side of this I see exactly what the Clintons are doing.  They want Hillary to be the first non-white male president regardless of what it takes.  They wish to trash Sen. Obama to the point where the average American won't accept him.  With simple things like:

1.  McCain is better suited than Obama to be President.

2.  Constant praises of Sen. McCain

3.  Make the Democratic Party as divide as possible with race and gender.  (this all started with S. Carolina and taken to a new level with Ohio/Texas).

It is sad for me as an active duty military member, this is the type of BS I give my life for.  The land where every man and woman is considered equal, isn't appearing to be so, to the rest of the world.  How can we preach equality to other nations when we can't do it ourselves...

Dear Chuck,

 This is actually in response to a earlier article about how Hilary can win . Im not a supporter but the tactics seem rather simple ....first she must blow out Obama by more than 12 points in Pennsylvania +then flip a state like NC which was polling +8 for Obama and is now down to even money . she simply states at the debate that its not up to her or Brarack to decide if Rev scandal is over but the people will decide  so if she is able to pull out Indiana as well as WV all of a sudden political narrative is that the BIG O is in a freeefall and that delegate lead means precious little as  Dems desperately fear the unthinkable ...losing in a year they just cannot lose. Meanwhile positive media winner spin will give hillary more positive press + improver her one on one pollsa against mccain while obama will continue to drop or float even esp if mccain continues with his senior moments . The key to defeating Obama is realizing his whole campaign is a concept "the UNITER" a idea whose time has come +not very deeply thought out .....this balloon could pop way easier than most realize

Ron, Tx. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?  HILLARY WAS SAYING THIS MONTHS AGO. OBAMA HASN'T HAD AN ORIGINAL IDEA IN YEARS.  HE WAS CARRIED ALONG IN THE ILLINOIS SENATE AND HAS BEEN CAMPAIGNING FOR HALF HIS TIME IN THE US SENATE. OBAMA IS FINISHED.  HE WILL NEVER WIN A GENERAL ELECTION GOING TO A CHURCH THAT PREACHES "GOD D--- AMERICA". THE GUY IS A FRAUD.

Once the clinton's open their mouth, it seems they just can't get it right!
And irrespective of whether Obama gets in the same trouble, he is right! After all he is the new messiah, isn't he? He's going to do so differently, to those who have given us public service in the past (warts and all) - this guy is so disingenious & McCain won't think twice of making bits of his rhetoric in the same way he got rid of Romney. We think Hilary instilled fear with her 3am ad, you aint seen nothing yet!
gerry    

well my opinion is that bills power over mccain should be adjusted slightly. mccain does not want to be tortured by bill, is it why he is struggling to win the election party..

If these are the qualification to be commander in chief and his wife dosen't have any of these, tha why dosen't Mr. Clinton encourage and back Mr. Murtha for president. After all he did serve in the military.

Well, there's Bill Clinton out on the stump again, endorsing McCain.

 The real notion of "change" is to end the Bush-Clinton dynasty. No one questions the desperate need for change from Bush, but the Clintons also need to be sent packing. Their domination of the Democratic party as their own personal vehicle to power has held it hostage for far too long. It has rendered the Democrats incompetent for dealing with present realities. The Clinton brand on the Democrats is a stain and they are burdened with baggage and an unsavory past. The Clintons are desperate to salvage their legacy even if it comes at the expense of the party--which is why the Right sees the Clintons as their best shot for unifying a demoralized Republican base and the triangulating ego-driven, unethical Clintons are more than willing to comply.
 People wonder why the Democratic party lacks leadership...Is it any wonder why the Clintons hate Howard Dean? He is the one player they can't keep on a lead. In order for the Democrats to be strong and relevant again, the Clintons need to go.  
 

Why didn't the Clintons just have the same person, that removed all of the incrimanating things from those schedules, go ahead and pencil in a 3AM call to Northern Ireland.  Then Bill's claims about needing her to beat the guy, who's having trouble keeping it straight just who is in Iran, would be much more credible.

Appears the Clintons have finally realized they aren't going to win, and are putting their 4 year plan into place.  That being: Make sure McCain wins so that Billary can run in 2012.

McCain already said he'd only serve 1 term.  Bill already locked up nearly all of Hillary's records till after 2012.  

She'll continue to do whatever she can to destroy Obama so that she can run in 2012.  Just watch.  She doesn't give a damn about democrats or the people.  Just herself.   She'd gladly let us deal with 4 years of McSame just to get her Presidency at some point.

I just have to comment here about what Ron Hussein Allen (Ron-American name-Hussein-Iraqi name-Allen-American name...WHAT???) had to say about Bill Clinton being critical of John McCain one minute, and then praising him the next minute.  I think people nitpick too much.  You can agree AND disagree with someone all at the same time.  What's so unusual about that?  So Bill Clinton agrees with Senator McCain about something, and then disagrees with him about something else.  Was that for real?  Are you serious in thinking that's some sort of a problem that Bill Clinton has?  That isn't wishy-washy, like you think.  But then, if you were AMERICAN you wouldn't say things like that.  Clinton haters, why don't you just go away???

Enough is enough. Stop it! Let's bring truth to light. John Mccain gave up valuable information about our country when he was a political prisoner. That is called treachery. Most of america do not know this about"loose lip" Mccain. I would like to see how well he deals with this controversy in the general election, because it will come out.

This started with Hillary Clinton preferring to see McCain win in November if she doesn't win in June: the who-can-be-Commander-in-Chief story. So now Bill is delivering her message, disguised a little. Seems strange that the Democratic Party would continue to consider the candidacy of someone who, if she has to sit out this game, would prefer to see the other team win. Hope Superdelegates can tell the difference between devotion to self and devotion to Party, since, in the end, it will be devotion to America, not self, that will count when the inevitable storms blow up. Never go to sea with a Captain who lets the crew fall overboard in a storm. Try a captain like Senator Obama who showed this week, with exquisite calmness and skill, that he can sail in an intense storm. That's the kind of Captain needed to beat McCain!! That's the kind of Captain that America will need!

This discussion about forgiving student debt is interesting. I heard Hillary say during a speech that she would forgive ALL student debt and also give 10,000 pe year to students who major in certain studies, such as nursing or health care. She also said she wanted the people there listening to hold her to that promise... So when do we hear more about this plan??? This speech was before the Super Tuesday primaries, I wondered if this was just words to gaion the votes for the moment??? This certainly needs to be looked into.

My conspiracy theory is the Clintons want McCain to beat Obama so they can have another shot at the White House in 2012.  Shame on you Clintons.(if my theory is true)

Patty, I'm sorry to be direct, but that is, in my opinion, a very uneducated thing to say even for a Clinton supporter. It's like saying if every man in America votes for Sen. Clinton then all females will be equal with men in status and respect. Doesn't quite makes sense when you spin it that way does it?  I think I can say that all the candidates are seeking what they feel will be a better America.   The racial divide in America is far greater than some people realize, and it has to be addressed by anyone who is willing to go against the grain of conventional wisdom and challenge the status quo.

This election is wearing terribly on Hillary Clinton's face.  For the past few days she has looked exhausted!  Even my husband said she needed to take a few days off and get some rest.  I know I'm exhauseted just watching this primary unfold. I can hardly imagine how the nation will feeling by November.  Remember the before and after photos of Jimmy Carter during his years in the White House?  Hillary already is showing physical strain.  This crazy primary process needs to be shortened. I vote for 4 primaries:  West, South, MidWest, and NorthEast/MidAtlantic, one each month in April, May, June, and July.  Then wrap it up in August at a convention, and move on to a two-month General Election Campaign.  This is too stressful and keeps us focused on politics more than on enacting legislation and getting problems solved.

this is really trashy, If Hillary doesn't win the nomination then they're trying to make sure Obama doesn't win in the general so that they (the Clintons) can try again in four years. Power hungry couple.

Of course they tout Murtha's support. He's the only superdelegate they've gotten in the last six weeks.

But as for Clinton matching up well against McCain, just more folly. Bill is nuts or lying when he says Hillary can compete with McCain on experience or military support. Probably lying. He's does that so well.

First Hillary, now Bill praising John McCain, (who by the way deserves recognition for what he suffered as a POW). However, how is it that the decent man so many Democrates see in Senator Obama warrants their vicious "kitchen sink" strategy? Win or lose, Barack, you just keep-on keeping it "real". In the end, we will all be better for your campaign. Show 'em how it's done by a Democrate believing in the tenants that our party professes, and has the restraint to rise above so much politics-as-ususal.

Hey everybody.  Read this

When I was in college at St. Francis College in Murtha Country, he was known as John "Piggy" Murtha; not entirely because of his corpulance!  So, I wonder if the cost of an endorsement by John Murtha is a little more "slop for the trough!?"

He was against torture before he was FOR it. His campaign staff is filled with lobbyists. He rightly wants to do some environmentally friendly things.
Bill, who's side are you on? Are you stumping for the Republicans? Is this some strategy where you can then say, only Hillary is equipped to deal with McCain?
The Clinton campaign has GOT to STOP building up John McCain. What in the world is wrong with them????
