Obama's 'super' comeback

Cory (SC) — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:41:07 GMT

Obama has truly changed the face of political campaigns as we know them! It is amazing that just a year ago he was not even considered as a strong candidate, now he is going to take out the biggest name in Democratic politics!!! YES WE CAN!

He has a lot more ready to go or not saying. After Edwards comments, would you want to bet who he is voting for? They are waiting for Clinton to drop out if possible because it is easier to say once she is gone rather than get in the middle. After all, they may still want to be able to call on the Clintons for help in their own areas once she has nothing else to do and that is easier if she already quit and they did not have to choose yet.

Pat, Boston, MA — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:49:29 GMT

It is truly amazing what Senator Obama has been able to accomplish. As I read earlier this morning, the voters in the end vote for a candidate, not a campaign. And in the end, he appears much more likeable.

I'm not quite sure Senator Clinton ever had a real message to run on. But ultimately in the end, her vote on Iraq hurt her more deeply than she or anyone in her campaign realized.

She never quite won the "experience" argument over the "change" argument.

There appears to be a real sea change in the country this year; Senator Obama's message is resonating, slowly but surely.

And it's uplifting. Nothing's gonna stop us now.

With all of those advantages, this is a bigger upset than when the Giants beat the Patriots. He flatly outmaneuvered and out-campaigned her. That has to have McCain camped a little nervous. Racism can only help McCain so much.

So Obama has beaten her with Supers 109 to 16.5 (and counting) since Feb, 5.

That's a whuppin' of pretty amazing proportions. That's a pretty strong statement by the party insiders that were supposed to be one of Hillary's cores of support and strength.

Say this for those 16.5 - they are either very much true believers in Hillary or just flat-out scared of the Clintons.

On Wednesday, after Hillary wins WV by a large margin, look for a bunch of superdelegates to declare for Obama. If Clinton gloats too heavily in her WV win, and especially if she takes a shot or two at Obama, look for even more delegates to declare for Obama. At this point, barring something catastrophic, the party faithful will not stand for a course that does not solidify Obama as the nominee.

Angela — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:59:04 GMT

This is all very nice. After Super Tuesday - the OUTCRY was there for the super-delegates to NOT OVERTURN THE WILL OF THE VOTERS. Many a pundit insisted that superdelegates should vote as their district did - so as NOT to overturn the will of the voters....

Can someone please do this math...I may be wrong as I don't have access to a research department..

a) all the elected house members voted as their district did,

b) Senators voted as their state did,

c) Non-elected supers voted as their state did

She would be ahead in supers - enough to win the nomination. Would she not...

Funny that I have posted this many times and it doesn't get posted - am I on to something??

Sidney Boston, MA — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:01:50 GMT

A VERY important perspective on the Democratic nominee process and superdelegates. It really shows what an impressive and formidable candidate Barack Obama will be. The question that Hillary Clinton's campaign has raised over & over ("Why can't he win the big states?" "Why can't he close the deal?") should be re-framed: Why can't Hillary Clinton beat Barack Obama? Why can't she raise money the way Barack Obama can?

And for all those naysayers out there - you just keep unerestimating Barack Obama! You see how well it worked for the Clinton machine.

Obama's 'super' comeback

Todd, Wheaton, IL — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:02:17 GMT

Thank you for stepping back and reflecting on what Obama has accomplished. Because his verbal gaffe and a couple guilt-by-associations have dominated the news in the last month, people forget that in order to accomplish what he has, Obama created and then executed a flawless, efficient, relentless, and innovative campaign - starting from scratch. This takes enormous talent and work - more than most people understand (again the focus drifting toward the few negatives).

I also think it bodes well for the general. I may be in the minority with this thought, but I think the Clintons are much fiercer adversaries than John McCain. And I think the theory of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is dead-on. Obama is a sharper, tougher candidate because of this hitoric primary.

"Incredible" is an understatment. I think that we have all become so wrapped up in the minutiae that we didn't recognize just what an astounding accomplishment this has been for the Obama campaign. No matter whom you support, you must admit this about him and his camp. He simply played the game much, much better than she. Who'd a thunk it???

Obama's 'super' comeback

Str8NoChaser — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:02:56 GMT

Way to go Senator Obama. Keep em coming.

There are a few things about the narrative of this race that bother me greatly.

#1 - Why is the assertion that black voters are voting for Sen. Obama only because he is black allowed to go unchallenged? Months ago, Sen. Clinton was heavily favored by black voters. If it was a racial thing, blacks would've taken one look at Sen. Obama and quickly jumped on the bandwagon, after all, he was black when this whole process began. That is not what happened. As primary season wore on, statements and actions of the Clintons turned black voters off and caused them to join the Obama movement. That's not a racial thing, that's an informed choice.

#2 - The only way for folks to have a leg to stand on when praising Sen. Clinton's ability to attract white voters is to slice and dice the white electorate down to educated vs college educated. How about examining senior citizens vs non senior citizens. If you don't factor race in at all, Sen. Obama has a commanding lead. Certain perceptions can be reached depending on the way objective data is analyzed. I am not happy that the MSM has chosen to focus on race and gender. JMHO.

Obama 08....Change we can believe in!

This that goes to show, Yes, we can do all things through him(God) that strenghten us. Hillary made her mistake when she began pandering during the Texas Primary when she stated she would raise mim. wage to $9:95 per hour. I knew this lady was full of it. Hillary also made mistake with SD delegate when she went negative with her attack on Senator Obama. Senator Clinton painted Obama as a person that was unelectable. This for me was the turning point. All of the individuals that say they will vote for MCCain if Obama is the Nominee are CRAZY. The Arkansas Democratic Gazeete has printed numerous of articles on how Hillary wants to win at ANY cost. It is sad the way she is dividing the country with her slick and underhand racial remarks. WE all know why Obama is not winning over WV, KY, Ohio, And Penn. lets not be blinded by the pundits and Hillary Clinton. I hate to say it, but there are still racist whites and black in this country that can not put aside their racial difference and vots for what's best for the country. All I can say, these people need Jesus in their lives.

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:03:31 GMT

Latest polls suggest that Clinton is picking up support from John McCain’s base which is the following:

White Americans that hate people of color.

White Christians that hate people that do not look like them.

White Americans that have very little education.

White Americans who do not care about their own personal economic condition.

White Americans that want to see the sons die in an un-justifiable war.

White Women who hate man still seams to be Hillary Clinton’s primary support.

The New York Times Op-Ed: By BOB HERBERT

"I don’t know if Senator Obama can win the White House. No one knows. But to deliberately convey the idea that most white people — or most working-class white people — are unwilling to give an African-American candidate a fair hearing in a presidential election is a slur against whites."

So what she is saying to all of you is if you are White Trash I am your girl. So vote for me so the South can rise one more time. If I was White I would run as far away from her as a could. This is not the vision for America. Remember everyone she was a Goldwater girl when she was younger.

I especially name Tim Russert who is from Blue Collar Buffalo,New York and his father who was an hourly railroad employee in the Buffalo area.

It's called a grassroots, world-changing movement, and Obama was merely the catalyst which ignited it. The power of his message has transformed the political landscape by moving the mountains of cynicism, complacency, and cynicism which have dominated it since JFK and Bobby. Thank God for Obama, but thanks also for the resilient American spirit which he has awakened from it's long slumber.

As a democrat, I think both Obama and Hillary are good candidates. But for the sake of unity, and getting on the national stage to counter John McCain, we need a nominee before the convention. At this point, Hillary is verging on selfishness and may frankly be delusional. Obviously, she is praying that some sort of lightning bolt ala Reverend Wright will surface and bring Obama down. Highly unlikely at this point! Time for Hillary to move on and make some money! She ran a hard race, but the American people have spoken!

David Kolva, MD Oswego/Syracuse, NY — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:11:03 GMT

This is sweet. For all the frightened "blue-collar" Reagan Democrats, Obama's victory is historic and inspiring. It is the American Dream come true. You must think hard about your prejudice and NOT support McCain, because in the end, you will not be rewarded. YOU are the ones being sent to Iraq. You are the ones without the tax cuts. You are the ones unable to better your future because college tuition is sky-high. Your jobs are the ones being cut and shipped to China by the REPUBLICAN CEO'S THAT McCain REPRESENTS. You are scared into voting for McCain because they know how to scare you by demonizing Obama.
Blue-collar Reagan Democrats, ask yourself: Why do highly educated people support Obama over McCain?
How was this unknown junior Senator from Illinois able to crush the most famous political machine in the last 16 years?
It is because he shares YOUR goals and aspirations because he learned them the same way you did, by working as a community organizer instead of accepting huge lucrative job offers after college like he could have done. He didn't have a trophy wife with Daddy's fortune backing him like McCain did.
Obama's life story is just like the majority of Reagan Democrats have experienced.

The next question is:

When will he hit 2025?

I predict within 3-5 days after the May 20 Primary. He will get 40 or so Superdelegates before May 20, then about 50 pledged in the next 3 primaries. THen the other 50-60 will pile on after he wins Oregon and has a majority of the pledged delegates.

It may be faster if Edwards endorses with his delegates.

Truly amazing when you think about where this race was 12 months ago - even 6 months ago. I think those around the Clinton camp who have whispered about "political malpractice" are probably right. Seems like she spent too much time being "inevitable" and not enough time playing the game of retail politics through 2007. Seems like her recent re-connection with many voters is a case of "too little, too late."

Here's one Democract who greatly respects and admires Senator Clinton (while disliking much about how Mark Penn ran her campaign) and is looking forward to a unified party backing Senator Obama.

I wonder why the Clinton's runing on health care in'92' and failing miserably while not even attempting to bring it up again for the remainder of two terms never became an issue. Clinton had her chance and caved to the insurance companies. That is precisely the change Obama promises. I think his winning makes it clear that the electoret wants wholesale change in Washington. Change may be uncomfortable but required and the American people are coming to that conclusion in a ground swell. Obama brilliantly saw this from the get go.

In case you think this sounds too harsh, don't forget who voted Bush into office. I'm also anxious to see the next adminstration make a serious push to develop renewable energy. This will create thousands of jobs and seriously decrease our dependence on foreign oil. Consequently, various nations in the middle east will be forced to open up to the wold economy thus making armed conlicts in the region less likely. For the first time in several years...

Brian Drozd Piscataway, New Jersey — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:32:09 GMT

If Senator Obama is elected in November, I think one perhaps must go back to Andrew Jackson in 1828 to find a president whose election so fundamentally altered the way the United States chose its president. Senator Obama would be the first "internet" president.

A coincidence would be that Andrew Jackson followed John Quincy Adams (son of former pressident John Adams) as president, just as Obama would follow the only other presdient (George W. Bush) who was the son of a former president (George H. Bush).

Other major "turning points" in voting history occurred in 1870, when African-Americans were first allowed to vote; in 1920, when women were first allowed to vote; and in 1964, with the passge of the Civil Rights Act.

troy, marina del rey, ca — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:34:29 GMT

While we are using sports analogies, I think this primary is like a football game. Going into the 4th quarter Hillary was down 2 touchdowns to Obama, 28-14. She needed to score quickly to win. During the 21st debate she did not complete the hail mary she needed, but rather conservatively ran the ball towards the goal-line. Obama let her run time off the clock. With Ohio and Pennsylvania, Hillary got her TD, but ran almost all the time off the clock doing it. Hillary then attacked Obama for not holding a 22nd debate. She was basically chiding him for running the ball with the lead instead of passing the ball and giving her a chance for a big play. He smartly ignored her. Finally Indiana and North Carolina came. Hillary barely won Indiana and lost North Carolina by a landslide. She basically kicked a FG while Obama scored a TD. Now the score is 35-24 and Hillary has no more time on the clock. There are no more states with enough delegates for her to catch up. Obama has the lead in the popular vote, pledged delegates, states and now super delegates. The game is over, yet Hillary keeps calling time out after Obama kneels down to finish the game. She needs to do the right thing and return her remaining contributions to her donors instead of wasting it on meaningless timeouts. She probably won't even shake his hand after the game. Too bad. He would have done it for her.

Although she is brilliant, experienced and everything else (I think given all that has happened she should have won) she continued to give Obama a platform to show his strength by continual supporting the negative pandoring. That is what hurt her more than anything else.

I hope she sticks around and supports efforts that will improve the issues both of them and the country believes are important.

He had a pre-existing relationship with the Clintons, it seems he would have naturally thrown his weight behind her. But he hasn't and has been very hush hush about who is will support. I think that's because like others in a simular sicuation he will choice to back Obama regardless of his past relationship with the Clintons and just doesn't want to embarass Hillary or Bill for that matter. He will have to do it sooner or later.

It is well known that O'Bama has outspent Clinton, and that he has a huge backlog of money in his funds, mostly contributed by smaller donations from people who believe in him and that he can win. It has been said that O'Bama has offered Clinton funds to reduce Clintons campaign debts and aid in her further
campaigning.

As a contributor to the O'Bama cause, and my complete and total disgust in the Clinton history of tacky and classless values and baggage from the time of their first foray into politics, I would be highly angered if I thought any part
of O'Bama contributions were to go to help the Clintons out of the debt that have for a poorly planned and poorly executed campaign. This would clearly effect my vote in November.

God help this country if Obama and his ilk (Wright, Michelle Obama) get into the White House.

Obama's 'super' comeback

Linda Porter, Atlanta, GA — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:43:21 GMT

Obama has run a marvelous campaign. Hillary Clinton ran an arrogant, elitist campaign and she lost. People in West VA should not let Clinton race bait them. When America was attacked (9/11), the attackers did not attack by race. They attacked America. Americans of all races need to accept that.
People who vote for Clinton are voting for her because she is a white woman. That is clear because she has lost already and anyone who doesn't know that shouldn't be allowed to vote anyway. They know she can't win. She knows she can't win and she is making every effort to have those people hearken back to a time when the color of ones skin was all that mattered.
Black people who vote for Obama are voting for the better candidate and that is clear. I don't think Obama, had he lost by every measuring stick as Clinton has, would not still be out there trying to weaken Clinton and wrest power from the Party. He is showing he is a better person and would be a better President in every thing he does.
How many people want a President who refuses to play by the rules? How many times must the news show you how shamelessly Clinton has changed her position on what rules, states and people matter before voters of all colors figure out that she is a conniving liar and a horrible person to consider to be Commander-in-Chief?

Its refreshing to know that America can give a bonified Afro American candidate the opportunity to run for President. The super D count is the beginning of the real trail to the White House for a Black Man.

"Yada, Yada, Yada, Obama", the charismatic speaker with nothing behind his words, except people who espouse hate. Now he sails on the enthusiasm of the ignorant masses, reminds me of Hitler.

Andrea Gaines, Lincoln, Virginia — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:49:45 GMT

People are wondering what went wrong here for Senator Clinton. I think her "presumptive nominee" strategy was doomed from the start -- or at least dead in the water after Iowa. She believed she had a lock on the Democratic Party, the money and the voters. As the race began to play out is was clear she owned none of these, but she never changed her strategy. It is stunning that Bill and Hillary Clinton, "gods" in the world of American politics, could have made such a stunning miscalculation.

Only someone with a sens of organization, management and vision is more then ready to be at the top JOB. If Hillary had a vision an organization and a sens of management, with her brand name, she would have pulverized Obama. So let the smarter preside and watch America shine again around the world.

It so sad that all you see is Obama beating the Clinton's. Well I must of missed that last pass of Koolaid. Obama can not connect with the dem. base and can't win the big states in Nov. I am so glad to see you all so happy. Please don't too sad in November when the McCain wins.

Why are just about all the blogs here pro-Obama?
Hmmm...you think NBC has their favorite candidate.
You left-wing secular fundamentalists are so transparent, hypocritical, and if it wasn't for the butchering of over 3, 500 pre-born children every single day (!), you would also be laughable.
Go McCain (and I know MSNBC won't publish this!)

Many of us saw from the very beginning that here was an extraordinary human being with extraordinary talent, vision & understanding of what this country needs in the Post-Shrub Era. Years ago I was saying, "There's no way Hillary can get elected - there's GOT to be something better we can offer!"

Thank God something better stepped up to the plate, and America for once is waking up & smelling the coffee.

Hillary can talk all she wants about a white woman having the potential of broader support than a black man.

But, let's face it, people like Obama and most people have a disdain for Hillary.

Obama has acted very presidential and decisive as he handled all of her nonsense, from "bitter", to "elitist", to "Reverand Wright".

Hillary is the worst kind of desperate politician - willing to destroy her party in order to gain power.

Wow, I'm surprise to see what courage mix with vision can make a simple man to accomplish.

At first I was like "It is to early for him, He needs some more time" but now I'm ready to vote for him in november.

George, St. Louis, MO — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:08:12 GMT

I am sick and tired of all this campaigning. Get it over with. It should be illegal to raise money or campaign for office before 6 months of the general election. I look at the three candidates left and it seems to me they have been planning for this for the past 6 years, and I wonder does it worth it, is their hearts in the right place and should we keep calling it public service or ego service.
If election laws don’t change very soon we will see fast extinction of smart and motivated people in politic to be replaced by sleazy, ego-centric people.
I am tired of this

Sheila from Texas — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:10:21 GMT

Let's look toward Obama's comeback and overcoming the Clintons and not a throw back to the lying Clinton days!

Senator Hilary Clinton has not yet been sufficiently vetted and she keeps reinventing her own fictional election process. Please send a message and encourage your friends, family, colleagues and associates to continue to vote for Senator Barak Obama in the remaining primary states. Also, all of us can send a message to the remaining super delegates to do the same. We will not wait for her trumped up "October Surprise" in an attempt to bring down Senator Obama. And, we certainly do not want a January surprise in 2009 and beyond should we make it possible to elect another Clinton.

Obama and anyone other than a Clinton in 08 and 12!

Thanks for this summary. Obama has indeed done something phenomenal, and I hope he (and the MSM) take a news cycle or two to reflect on how the skinny black guy with the funny name wound up crushing the Clinton machine. It really is a study in confidence and tenacity and smarts.

Ken Brown from Buffalo, NY: I, too, am from WNY. Where are the hundreds of thousands of jobs Clinton promised when she ran for the senate? Where is she now when one of the plants in the Buffalo area is in the process of closing?

Tim Russert doesn't show preference for either candidate; he's tough on them all.

Blue-collar should designate one's livelihood choice, not their mindset.

Hillary Clinton keeps implying that Obama's strength is with intellectual, college-educated voters. DUH? Do we really want dumb, uneducated people picking our President?

S. Kinney, Dane, Wi — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:56:43 GMT

I have lost so much respect for the Clintons, and when their daughter Chelsea on the campaign trail who is paid upwards of $200,000 per year herself and dutifully campaigns and begs for her mother, when asked questions replies it is none of their business to know, but Obama does not have that luxury. Their standards are double and really really warped to say the least. They are from a different time, and time has passed them by. The world at home that they have now come to visit because they need their votes now is different and to say their base is uneducated is very insulting. Their idea of profile is very interesting too. The daughter goes to the universities and colleges and if asked questions tells them they have business asking her anything because it is none of their business and personal and the husband and Ex-President goes to out of the way places and gets into confrontations, insults the electrolate and wags his finger at them, and she goes out to them in becomes one of the guys. Then is anyone brings them to task a big cry of "FOUL" is screamed. This has not been a fair fight at all. Obama has learned a lot and endured a lot and I am so glad he hopefully is coming down the stretch to home.
People who would want her on the ticket with him are out of their minds, if anything should happen to him I would seriously look at her (remember Martin, John and Robert). They are definitely old time southern politicians, they are the ones that used the race card first.

Barack Obama fought intolerance with grace; he fought pettiness with pride; and he fought for every American out there who has been told time and time again that their votes really didn't matter.

They attacked his wife, his patriotism, his heritage and even his faith. Nothing. Nada. Bubkes.

That's called winning people. If you are supporting Barack Obama - get used to it.

Obama is running against Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and McCain. He's had thrown at him, Rev Wright, Rezko, and Ayers and he's still here, stronger than ever. He's organized the 50 state strategy plan which is registering new democratic voters for the general so losing Clinton devotees won't matter. I'm very proud to support Obama. Neither Clinton or McCain has come up with a SOLUTION like Obama has in planning for November and including all 50 states in his plan. Amazing!

Congratulations MSNBC, you and the other news network have finally succeeded in manipulating your viewers to vote for the candidate you desire. Oh don't get me wrong, I would be happy with either Clinton or Obama, but I get a little annoyed when news shows use subtle messages to get me to vote the way they want.

Bonnie Crawford — Mon, 12 May 2008 21:01:15 GMT

Senator Obama and his team have done a great job overcoming some tough obstacles. Now it's time for the Dems to close ranks and be prepared to do battle with Senator McCain and the Republicans. I think we are ready. What's the pity party for Senator Clinton? She's still a NY Senator. She still the wife of a former President. She's still raking in plenty of cash, and if she really means what she says about caring for ALL the American people and not just hard-working, white people who vote for only her, then she can start using her rolodex to begin changing the way we do business in Washington. We're all suppose to be on the same team here. I'm so proud of Senator Obama and they way he has run his campaign. I really appreciate his candor and honesty on the issues. Vote Obama 08.
