We believe in Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow.

Have the Clintons been so outrageous and ridiculous that the media has believed their Malarky?

Is it me or I'm I seeing the media actually debate their talking points?
Chris Matthews, Dan Abrams and even David Gregory are devoting their time trying to figure out statements from the Clintons which are obviously outrageous !
Why is that?

Please call out the Clintons if they come up with "fuzzy math !" Chuck Todd.
Same with Obama, but I suspect that his math is ok.

The Clintons have made me reach a boiling point!

Another point.
Of all the people whon could do an anaysis of Obamas Appalachian problem, the LAST PERSON WE WANT TO SEE is Pat Buchanan.

He is a right wing racist. Do you people at MSNBC actually read his blog?
He says that African Americans should be glad that they were taken from Africa and brought here because they would be suffering with the Africans had that not happened.
I cringe and change the channel every time he speaks.

Otherwise ... Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow .. you are objective and we love you.
Keith Olberman ... even though you've been very harsh to the Clintons .. you rock !

DNC Members and Howard Dean;

You have GOT to reign in HAROLD ICKES! He and his support for Hillary at ALL COSTS will ruin your great organization! The Democratic Party will be laughed at in the annals of history for scuttling itself from within at a time when we should be a 'shoe-in, a no-brainer' for the white house in the eyes of most Americans.

Please have to fortitude to stand by your principles and the RULES no matter how loud and angry Hillary's band of supporter get . . . because next time around instead of just 2 states you may have to deal with 8, 12, or 20 states who decide that they don't like the date that you set for them and want to do things earlier. How will you deal with THAT?? You have to punish Florida and Michigan in some MEANINGFULL fashion or other states and their leaders will be emboldened to do the same. You will have no leg to stand on when meeting out punishment WHEN it happens again.

The Clintons, I know, hold a lot of sway with many of you; you revere them, their service. Many of you have benefited from their connections and 'words' here and there in the pursuit of your own individual political careers. To be fair an angry Clinton Machine can possible mean the end of any 'backing' on certain fronts for many of you. I urge though don't succumb to FEAR. That is why we're in the mess we are in now; it is why many of our senators and congressmen find themselves regrettably on the wrong side of the worst foreign policy disaster in perhaps EVER! If The Clintons for all their influence and pressure get everything they want, they way they want it, we have just shown ourselves as a Party to be NO DIFFERENT to our rivals, the Republicans. Stand up for the RULES, and integrity. Sure Mrs. Clinton has all but assured there will be some extremely BITTER feelings among her supporters but you MUST hold firm. Even if we lose because of it. For "what will a man gain if he gains the world but has lost his soul?" or something to that effect. The Democratic party will forever be sullied by the lack of ethics, integrity, and honesty that has risen this season IF it is allowed to prevail. Winning isn't everything. BUT if we do what is right this season we WILL win.

We will never recover if we don't do what is right. And the country will NEVER forgive us. We would have instead infected and inflicted upon the very constituents the kind of immoral and unethical behavior and practices we SWORE to protect them from.

True Democracy is having the strength to declare in no uncertain terms when one of our own have crossed the line The line is being stretched massively. If it breaks all manner of hell will swarm through

Yours Truly,

Senator Clinton should remain in the race for the good of the party and the country. Barack Obama has written that he serves as a blank screen upon which others may project their fondest hopes and dreams. Only in this media-driven age, where superficial appeal is valued over seasoned experience and wisdom, would a virtually unknown candidate with questionable influences be on the verge of the presidency.

In this environment, McCain can win by running to the center.

Jason, Rochester Hills, MI — Fri, 23 May 2008 16:19:53 GMT

I sure hope, for OBAMA's sake that the rumours are not true. His support will go to hell in a handbasket if he attaches himself to her in any way!

Firstly, she is everything negative that he stands against.
Secondly, she wants the Presidency so badly, if elected as Vice, Obama would have to be guarded so heavily to preclude her from having him done in that he would be ineffective.
Thirdly, she is a horrible person capable of any atrocity imaginable, cannot be trusted to tell the truth, causing any President she serves under to be on 24/7 damage control.
Lastly, we would have to implement a police service to guard the interns with Bill ( the Viagra Poster Boy ) back in the White House.

DO NOT PUT HER ON THE TICKET OBAMA! YOUR SUPPORTERS WILL FEEL THAT YOU HAVE LIED TO THEM ABOUT YOUR VALUES IF YOU DO!

Gregory Peek, Birmingham, Alabama — Fri, 23 May 2008 16:20:59 GMT

Hillary Clinton's self-serving efforts to maximize her own personal gain from Florida and Michigan delegations are in direct contrast to the self sacrificing efforts of voting rights activists such as Viola Luizzo, a white voting rights activist murdered March 25, 1965, for her efforts in Alabama. Senator Clinton's misrepresentation of her activity is an affront to the best in humanity. It is simply unacceptable.

Hillary won't even be considered unless Obama is pressured into it. He, like most of us, doesn't like her and would have to have a food taster at the White House because she's proven she's a "fighter" hasn't she and will stoop to anything to get into that number one spot. Besides, the 800 lb. gorilla in the room (Bill) would have to stop giving oursourcing of American job speeches to Columbia and such...and you KNOW they want to replace all that loaned money to her failed campaign, so she'd have to say no.

We're just waiting for her to finish smoking that bitter cigarette so we can watch Obama do the same to McCain. By the time Obama's finished, McCain will want same-sex marriages legalized too...

Usually when people are so ready and willing to say that the rumors of a VP deal for Hillary is "totally false", makes me remember when Bill said: "I did not have sex with "that woman", Ms. Lewinsky". Interesting how that turned out, didnt it? I will vote for Obama any day and twice on Sunday (tho that's against the rules, hehehe), but if Hillary even shows up on those bumper stickers, then I'm gonna go back and re-register as a Republican, cause if I want things to stay the same, then I wouldnt have supported Obama.

That's nice. Why didn't Bill Clinton refute the leak himself. Political damage control is really silly. I'm tired of these people saying things with the assuption that we are all idiots.

One thing is certain if the Dems win the White House it definitely won't be because of the DNC and the Dem "Leadership." Clinton should have been asked to step down or the supers should have given the nomination to Obama by now. This is terrible leadership. "Oh while the party splintering we'll just sit back and watch because we don't want piss of Hillary Clinton or hurt her feelings." Gee I wish they would think about the feeling of the families who lost love ones in Iraq - which Hillary voted for.

Clinton folks deny??!!! what's this then?
Hillary's Top Fundraising Official Says There's "Risk" Of Obama Loss If She Isn't Invited To Be Veep
In a move that could foreshadow a public push from the Hillary forces to get Barack Obama to invite her on the ticket, Hillary's top campaign fundraising official said in an interview that there's a "risk" that Hillary's political and financial supporters won't get behind Obama in time for him to win in November if she's passed over for the veep slot.

The fundraiser, businessman Hassan Nemazee, is Hillary's leading finance chair and one of the most influential money men in the party. He's the first prominent Hillary campaign official to raise the possiblity of an Obama loss should she not be invited on the ticket, and his comments suggests that this argument could emerge as central to any Clinton camp push to make her veep.

You cannot have somebody in your cabinet that voted for the war without reading the NIE. That fact alone is reason enough that this woman will never receive a vote from me... NEVER EVER. You cannot play politics with war. You CANNOT play politics with the lives of the brave men and women who are willing to sacrifice everything for what this country stands for. War is not a game, and soldiers are not action figures. This weekend we all should particularly be mindful of Clinton's unapologetic vote to score political points with no regard for the lives she put at stake in doing so. Which begs the question: who else will she sacrifice to become president?

Matthew - Therein lies the problem. You don't care if the democrats lose the White House as long as your guy gets the nod for the nomination. That is a reckless position to take given the extreme crisis that our country is in on all fronts. Your candidate should recognize that getting a democrat back in the White House to reverse the sad tide of the Bush years is more important than Obama and Clinton. The superdelegates should pick the most electable candidate, and unfortunately your candidate has many weaknesses with many important voting groups that have nothing to do with his race. Grow up and recognize what the real victory is here. Obama as VP can gain him familiarity with all Americans so that they will understand he is not a black separatist like Wright. He will also be able to gain 4 or 8 years of important domestic and foreign policy experience that will cure his weakness with veterans and those of the Jewish faith, so that he will be well-positioned after another Clinton term. Try to put an objective hat on for just a minute and see all that could be gained by a Clinton-Obama ticket at this particular time of economic upheaval. After those immediate fires are put out in our country, then Senator Obama can take office in good times and work on the big lofty issues that he is so strong on, such as race relations, social justice, etc. thoseaprticu.
