Steve NewYork — Tue, 27 May 2008 17:51:48 GMT

I just looked at the Hillary Clinton's website blog comments.
It's pitiful.
There are lots of lost souls out there.

They still believe that it's a media conspiracy and that their candidate is close to winning.

I'm sure if Bill Clinton tells them that it's the aliens fault they will believe it 1

It is sad and pathetic.

They are all swearing to vote for McCain in the General.
Thats where it gets dangerous. No one out there is countering that argument.That's why I think that they have lost their minds.

It's very funny. The guy (McCain) has a zero rating in the (NARAL)arbotion rankings.
He has made it his mission to "reverse Roe vs Wade!"...This is in his website.

The thought of a progressive liberal woman voting for McCain just baffles me.

So I look into their complaints.

None of them is against Obama.They are all directed on the media.

The only thing they have against Obama is that he beat the Clintons.
And that was his crime, and he should be punished !

How shameful ... It's a joke.

I just thought I'd share this.

All you Obama supporters, visit Hillary's website for some comic relief.It's like watching Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Pure HATRED !

And what's funny about that .. well at least the right-wing republicans are true racists and bigots. But there is something FAKE about true democrats hating somebody just because he beat their candidate fair and square, by out-manouvering her and being smarter.

AND those are the facts.

As it should be, there will be no end to her campaign until these primaries are over and Florida and Michigan are seated in a fair and equitable way. ~sigh~

Also, after the primaries, I hope I've seen the last of the Clintons (at least Bill and Hillary). Hopefully if Chelsea decides to run for elected office she will LEARN from the mistakes made by her mother and father, and that compassion for our country, along with sincerity, integrity and honesty matters most to the American people.

OBAMA, 2008!

When she has NO chance whatsoever to win the nomination, WHY, on earth, do you spend the engery to cover what Hillary is doing every few minutes? Who really cares what she's doing? Especially in Puerto Rico where the vote is useless and they can't vote in the general Election? The only thing you SHOULD be reporting is that hopefully she took the long weekend to begin her concession speech.

Yawn! This is the most boring, irrelevant story First Read has ever posted that I've read. Why waste time and space writing about this pathetic loser?

I sure hope that FR will give us something more interesting to read and comment upon, like the brewing battle between Barack Obama and "Warmonger" McCain about military service and who really supports our brave soldiers and my fellow veterans.

Sounds like an expensive vacation and more debt for the Clinton Campaign. Luckily, she has 10 year olds willing to sell their bikes to pay for it all...never mind the fact that her advisers admit the game is up and Billary has been pulling in $100s of millions from donors, book deals, and Canadian uranium miners for some time now.

Hi First Read,

Could you start analyzing what may happen at the Rules Committee hearing on May 31st? Is there any precedent for such a thing? If so, what was the outcome? Who will be there? What is the order of the day? Where is it?

Thanks.

Ok. So you actually kept a journal? You have issues, dude. So you mean to tell me that Hillary went to the small town of Peñuelas, but didnt stop in the "Cuidad Señorial" of Ponce? I know why. Ponce is a big city. Lots of educated people there. That's my hometown. We have a saying that "Ponce is Ponce and everything else is parking". Lots of Obama fans in Ponce. It's ok Sen. Clinton. You picked the easiest people on the whole island to talk to and lie to, but lets call a spade a spade. You dont care squat about Puerto Rico or the 1M+ plus of us that live in New York. If you did, Puerto Ricans like me born in the US would actually vote for you. My fellow "Boricuas" cant vote for you over there, when it counts. So keep your promises about jobs, education (we have a better school system there anyways), and equal protection and blah blah blah, cause just like no former President has done squat for us, you wont either.

See this is the problem with the media, if they would stop this nonsence of covering her every move, there are more things for the media to report on. so to the media please stop, also why give her the press are you looking for another comment from her AKA THE ASSINATION TALK, OR I'M LEADING IN THE POPULAR VOTE, OR I DESERVE TO BE VP. JUST STOP COVING HER AND SHE WILL HAVE NO OTHER CHOOSE BUT TO GO AWAY.

She's still running to make her case for 2012. Obama will lose to McCain this november, McCain will suffer a horrible first term, the nation will really go to pot, and that's the year Hillary will make her real comeback and be president.

‘just an interesting story about some former Hillary supporters who will now vote for Obama:

My husband was at a scientific conference this past weekend in Chicago and had dinner with 9 of his colleagues on Sat (5 men, 5 women). Inevitably, the conversation turned to politics and Hillary’s RFK comment the previous day. Of the 10 dinner companions, 6 were former Hillary supporters who had left her ranks at some point during this campaign (my husband included).

Two of the men decided to vote for Obama when Hillary threw her fellow Democrat under the bus: “I have a lifetime of experience, Sen McCain has a lifetime of experience, and Sen Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.” For others, it was the lies or negativity or the race baiting that made them switch. The RFK comment only cemented their commitment to Obama.

The point of this story? HILLARY is the reason people are no longer supporting Hillary.

Of course, these 10 people are all highly educated scientists who are research leaders in their field. You know – the type of people who deal with data and facts and make informed decisions – not the usual kind of voter in Hillary’s base who can be easily manipulated by her dishonesty and her disengenous arguments.

A big win in PR will net her a huge amount of popular votes – in addition to the over 17 million she’s already received. She has more votes than ANY candidate has EVER received in a primary election.

And Obama CANNOT win the general election without the vast majority (like 99.9 percent) of these 17 million votes. And many of us will happily stay home to ensure that the “Yes, We Can” crowd gets just what they deserve – President John McCain!

And if she’s so pathetic, how come it's nearly June and Wonder Boy Barack hasn’t been able to put her away? (Hint: CA, NY, NJ, MA, PA, OH, TX, FL, etc).

And polls continue to show her faring better against McCain than Obama.

Diary - To Puerto Rico With Clinton:

"Instead of the sunny skies we'd been expecting, Clinton steps off her plane to find a tropical rainstorm, and some wet dignitaries to greet her".

This says it all.

I wonder of Hillary and Bill are going to blame the Puerto Rican weather as some kind of conspiracy against Hillary due to her gender. Let's find out if it's true. Any female bloggers out there ever visit Puerto Rico and when departing the plane were greeted with sunshine rather then rain? If so then that blows the Clinton's claim there is a conspiracy against Hillary's gender.

Steve New York...You have totally misrepresented Senator Clinton's Supporters...but, I guess I shouldn't be surprised!!

What you fail to realize is that the foundation of her support is due to Senator Obama having no experience to be POTUS, that he has shown an incredible lack of good judgement and that his agenda is far left wing liberal!!

As to the hate issue...I guess since the majority of Senator Obama's supporters have called us racists...we shouldn't be surprised that now we're hateful too!!

How pathetic...get over yourself!! There are over 17 million Hillary supporters...we don't hate anybody...we are constructive, not destructive!! We are Americans that feel strongly about our candidate...who respect others opinions!! We can agree to disagree without being hateful or racist...that's what's freedom is all about!!

I do believe that a lot of Hillary supporters will support McCain in the GE. Not because they have knowledge that Barrack Obama cannot handle the job, just because they listen to every derrogatory thing that has been said about BO and believe it. You may not think you are racist but you are. You can't stand the thought, after being brainwashed all your life by either your parents, church, friends, teachers, that a Black man or half white man cannot be an intelligent, caring motivated, patriotic man with good family values and a plan for this great country and all of its people. How pathetic! But then again you are probably the same people that voted G.Bush in office for two terms. Because you believed, again, everything you read and were told to think about him. Well you were wrong then and you are wrong now. I am a 59 yr. old "WHITE" woman that has been around "you closet racist" all my life. You talked hatred when it was cool to do and now you use your politics to spread the hatred and lies from your closet. I feel sorry for you, because I am voting for the future and well being for this country that I love and you will be trying to stay in the past. Stay in the past if that's what you want, but don't keep us there. Don't waste your vote

She is favored to win in PR, what's new? Nothing!

That's not news, but I am glad she had a good time.

Steve makes a very valid point, I am afraid that Dems will vote against their economic interests in this case.

All seriousness, for people who think Hillary was robbed need to take politics 101. I remember moons ago taking high school government and was told about the electoral college. Didn't really know what the heck it meant until 2000.

Education is the key to success and unless the DNC do something, the dems will be doomed!

By the way...it is unlady like to drink out of a bottle in public; please someone inform her.
