"THOSE WHO DON'T VOTE FOR HER, WILL BE SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES"- SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING FROM THE "SOPRANOS"?

Deborah Greenlawn, NY — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:25:02 GMT

Heavier trickle has been flowing. I predict some
steady rain until end May or June.

I wish the media (Time, Esquire) would not jump the
gun with these covers. I don't know their agenda, if any, but I think it's still premature. Maybe the next
issues would have been better. Vox Populi? Remember?

My Hispanic Brothers, and Sisters,

Why are you still blindly giving you support to Senator Clinton?

Are you not deeply offended by her remarks, which dismissed you out of hand yesterday, stating how the white vote was the most important?

She is treating you with the same Clinton attitude of ownership, that her, and Bill always held over the African American vote.

They had their share of the Black vote, until Bill offended them in SC. Good for them. They had the good sense to know that they had been trashed, and were rightfully insulted.

I am supporting Senator Barack Obama. You should too!

He does'nt take us for granted. When Gov. Bill Richardson endorsed him, he was so honored, they spent the rest of the day doing historical interviews together. Gov. Richardson's endorsement gave Obama even greater momentum. It was another turning point in his candidacy, which was a great push for him .

Hey Chuck,

What constitutes an SD flood to Obama. The score is 11 - 1 since Tuesday (with two switches to Obama). This doesn't even count the Guam SD that will endorse Obama since Guam certified Obama as the winner and the SD said he would endorse the winner. So tell me, what constitutes an SD flood?

Can we have the First Read delegate count (and the delegate names if possible) on a seperate page which is updated by First Read. It will be good since NBC delegate count is not updated as frequently as First Read delegate count.

Lo in OR — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:29:19 GMT

you are way slow.. Obama picked up his 6th Super today.. and you are way wrong on hillary's Super totals. She now only has 267 to his 268. Isn't it about time that the MSNBC updated the totals on the main page?? It hasn't changed in days..and never changes correctly.

HRC is asking the supers to commit to her "privately" -- apparently this guy didn't get the memo. So much for transparency in gov't from the Clinton campaign.

Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:30:03 GMT

Looks like Obama is "bearing" down on that 2025 figure. And if McCain is reading this, Lieberman can explain to him what that means.

I'm guessing the lesson about how Iranians are shi'ites is over by now, so McCain can schedule in a little vocabulary work.

Many reporters and pundits have been asking where is Obama's flood of superdelegate endorsements? How is a flood defined in this situation? 3 a day? 5 a day?

Does it even matter whether there's a flood or a steady stream since the end result of either would be the same?

Not too many more superdelegate votes for the super delegate vote count to more properly reflect the will of us voters of pledged delegates. It's been too long in coming that the supers start to listen to and reflect the majority who has voted for our presumptive nominee and next President of the United States - Barack Obama!

C A, Tuscaloosa, AL — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:38:40 GMT

This weekend you will see even more endorsements for Obama from those weak-kneed Dems who will be able to get out of dodge for the weekend, announce their support for Obama, and be out of sight and perhaps phone connection from the Clintons for a couple of days.

Sure is nice to have a strong and legit Dem nominee in Obama who is willing to take the heat now and then and to fight a good fight. It eases the frustration a bit of having to admit there are still a bunch of weak-kneed, spineless Dems in Congress and in the party.

Obama. You are going to have to get some of these Dems some spines and kick them in the rear now and then to be able to compete with the Republicans.

Hillary Clinton was and continues to be over rated.

-Why do you think she made up the Bosnia story?
-Why do you think she had to sip whiskey and beer?
-Why do you think she had to do some pandering on the gas tax?
-Why do you think her superdelegate totals kept dwindling down?
-Why do you think she had to loan her campaign eleven million dollars?
-Why do you think she came in third in Iowa?
-Why do you think she lost all the caucus states?
-Why do you think David Geffen called her out on her honesty all those months ago?
-Why do you think Tom Daschle, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry did not support her?

Because she was and continues to be over rated.

Only the media never saw it.

Off the topic of Super Ds for just a bit -- I'm hoping that Sen Obama has plans to stop by West VA for at least a day or two. I'm sure folks would love to meet him and get a chance to hear positive and non-rascist remarks!
