Why reduce the staff? She's going to need them to make a country wide campaign to support Senator Obama and fix the divide her campaign created.

I'm so tired of hearing the HRC argument about how she has the popular vote. I think they're so full of it that they don't see how ridiculous it sounds. To take credit for Michigan and not give any to Obama and not count any of the caucus states? How's that fair? They sit there with a straight face and says Michigan is a full and fair election. I'm just incredulous.

take the spin off — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 17:12:45 GMT

I find this interesting considering I just watched the interview with Harold Ickes and Andrea Mitchell and it seemed to me like he was saying that they are doing the staff cuts and this is not out of the norm since the primaries are coming to an end, which Andrea then said, if she was going to be the nominee she would need those people. Ickes replied back to the effect that they would reassess and restock.

I think the spins and lies are overwhelming and after watching Ickes theatrics at the DNC meeting, I believe him about as much as I believe Clinton, which is not at all.

Then get hot in the Senate and do something for your country.....

I've noticed everything she has promised, she has not dne yet. No bills for gas price relief or any of the other lies she told on the campaign trail.

'... Tom Vilsack, Major Hillary Supporter, Says It's Over

June 2, 2008 10:51 AM

Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, one of Hillary Clinton's most ardent supporters, said Sunday it's time for Hillary Clinton to acknowledge she has lost her bid for the Democratic nomination.

Vilsack, who was briefly a presidential candidate himself last year, told the Associated Press it's "pretty clear that Senator Obama is going to be the nominee."...'

Dead woman, walking....

How about a little grace or class from the Clintons ?
Is THAT too much to ask ?

Hillary was earlier called the 'Al Sharpton for whites'

This weekend she was called 'Jesse Jackson for women'
i.e. sees herself as a 'victim'

Get REAL, Hil !

If you had voted NO on the Iraq War, you'd be the nominee

You blew it !!
That, and choosing incompetent cronies instead of competent campaign staffers.....

Just more wasteful spending by "Bag Lady" Hillary, just more in debt she'll be if she doesn't stop wasting money now. She can have her "victory" party to celebrate her inevitable loss and just waste more money. How much money will she keep on wasting and how many people will she dupe into bailing her out of her wasteful ways?

That's why Barack Obama is the inevitable winner, because he ran a smart winning campaign and spent his money wisely. He's going to bury "Bush Hugger" McCain with campaign cash and this year those stinking repugnant one's 527's won't be able to turn the tide.

Lauren, Boulder, CO — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 17:19:45 GMT

As I have said, She is planning to announce her victory tomorrow night based on the popular vote. She is going to try to use her 'math' to persuade american and the superdelegates that she has won the popular vote in this election and that they must not overturn the will of the voters and 'steal' the nomination from her.
I am an Obama supporter and I am very concerned about what she is about to do and very disturbed by it because I don't see how her popular vote count can be considered real, true, and fair. I say this because of the tainted primary results in Fl and MI based on the 'voter supression' and the 'supression of voter choice' that occurred in both states. And because there is not true accounting for all of the caucuse staes that do not track he popular vote.
I am so disturbed and upset by what she is about to do. Very disturbed, especially because I don't think anyone really believes she will do this... but I can tell. Ickes said yesterday 'SHE will be the nominee'. She said 'Let's keep fighting'. It's obvious to me even if it is unbelievable to others.

Hillary would have no prayer in the general. Polls in May and June regarding a general in November matter not. Didn't the polls not long ago have Romney as the repub candidate?

Hillary has succeeded in making the general election about her, regardless of whether she is in it. If/when Obama is the candidate, her spiteful followers say they will vote McCain because her highness didn't get her birthright nomination, though they have no reason to hate Obama other than he just appeals to more people. If Hillary is the candidate, then many people will switch sides to vote because Hillary Clinton has the ethics of Karl Rove.

Because she is not going to be in the GE? Because most likely she has not been paying her staff lately anyway and they need to make a living? Because Bill phoned her and told her enough silliness, get back to reality? Your pick.

'..."[McCain is] wrong about Iraq, and he's wrong in the past and wrong about his ideas going forward," Gen. McPeak said. "And that's the biggest single national security issue on the table."...'

John McCain, Endless War

From Huff Post:

'...Retired Air Force General McPeak Bashes McCain

Jason Linkins
The Huffington Post

Retired Air Force General Tony McPeak, a national security adviser to Barack Obama, dropped the hammer on Sen. John McCain today, telling the Washington Times, "It doesn't take very long to uncover national security issues that McCain is weak on...For McCain to think he has a monopoly on virtue in the national security issue is going to be shown a pretty flimsy idea very quickly."

How flimsy and how quickly? As it turns out, very. And critically, McPeak attaches himself to the Obama campaign as someone who got Iraq right. From the WashTimes:

"[McCain is] wrong about Iraq, and he's wrong in the past and wrong about his ideas going forward," Gen. McPeak said. "And that's the biggest single national security issue on the table."

Gen. McPeak added, "[McCain] supported the intervention to begin with. Then of course he attacked the execution and he was justified in doing so. But the idea that this was a good concept, poorly executed, won't stand the test of examination.

"Now, it was poorly executed, so he was right about that. But the concept itself was fatally flawed. So he was wrong there. And his idea that all we have to do is execute better and this will turn into a big victory for us is wrong.

"So he's going to have to carry the weight, the tonnage of bad judgment on that particular issue."

Not surprisingly, McPeak also found McCain's notion that the United States should not enter into talks with nations such as Cuba and Iran to be daffy as well, saying, "This whole idea that diplomacy is attending cocktail parties with your best friends, that's kind of dumb. It's a national security issue that McCain is wrong on."

McPeak has become the "most senior retired military officer" to back Obama.

Chuck,

You know what I don't get. Why would the media skirt the issue that the Exit Polls in Kentucky and West Virginia told us that those Americans voted based upon race, and we keep giving Barack another hurdle to jump..."go get those votes". No one tells Hillary to get African American votes. And if they voted based on race, how does he get them without bleaching his skin? They couldn't even vote for the white half of him.

No vote should be based upon race. I live in the largest black congressional district in the country and our Congressionman is a white man of Jewish faith. To be honest, he is 10x better than the black man we had.

The only way to move pass race is to leave the non progressive people behind and do what is right. Then, when he's the President for all maybe, a light bulb will go off or attribute his success to his white half. (smile)

Progressive Generations will win this race for Barack, and Hillary can come to and be the first female Vice President. If she chooses not to come, "Oh well, the train is still moving down the track. I just advice her to move out of the way."

HAVE SOME COURAGE!

Please Super Delegates, Do NOT allow Hillary Clinton's self-serving comment (below) to become true on Tuesday night:

“So, when the voting concludes on Tuesday, neither Sen. Obama nor I will have the number of delegates to be the nominee. I will lead the popular vote, he will maintain a slight lead in the delegate count."

Now Hillary Clinton is lying about the popular vote, which has no bearing whatsoever on who our party nominates! She and her campaign have proven they will say and do anything to feed Clinton's personal ambition.

What kind of a President would she make?! The same kind that we already have in the White House who has constantly lied, not played by the rules, and broken all agreements in pursuit of his own personal goals and pride!.

PLEASE announce your endorsement and urge other super delegates to announce their support for Obama BEFORE Tuesday, so that the elected delegates from SD and Montana will make you him our Presidential nominee!

The Clinton campaign and supporters seem determined to sabotage the Democrats' chances in the general election if she is not the nominee.

What does that tell you and the Super Delegates?!
