I couldn't have said it better myself - everytime you think we're down on the count - Axelrod pulls it out! I'm always telling my husband the man is a absolute genious - being from Chicago - I was under the impression that he worked on at least one of the Clinton campaigns in the 90's... Do you know if there's any truth to that??

Hillary Clinton has run a spirited, tough campaign – and her team’s attacks on Senator Obama in the last four months have helped toughen him up for what lies ahead in the general election. Having said that…

Pure and simple, Hillary Clinton lost the nomination because she relied on people that weren’t tapped into the mood of average Americans, had a failed strategy and who had a false belief in her ‘inevitability’ as the party’s nominee. Once Super Tuesday came and went, the campaign found itself on its heels with no strategy to implement for the balance of the primary and no money with which to fund it. By the time they finally formulated a new plan – her ‘kitchen sink’ strategy – Barrack Obama had reeled off 11 straight wins and held a lead he would never relinquish.

The new strategy relied on a ‘say or do anything to win’ approach founded on classic mudslinging tactics. These included saying he can’t get the ‘hard-working, white voters’, insisting only her and McCain are experienced enough to be president, her ‘3AM’ ads and the continual insistence that Senator Obama is unelectable in November. She waffled when asked whether she believed he was Muslim and personally weighed in when asked about Reverend Wright. Even Bill jumped on the bandwagon, implying that Hillary and McCain were the only candidates in the race ‘that loved this country’. In spite of this new strategy (and even when given the opportunity during a debate to comment on her ‘sniper fire in Bosnia’ statement), Obama steadfastly refused to attack her on anything other than policy issues.

Her campaign’s behavior after Super Tuesday left many Democrats speechless at how far the Clintons and their supporters seem to be willing to go to damage a fellow Democrat. Yet equally disappointing have been recent statements by HRC and her supporters that the reason she was losing is because she is the victim of misogyny.

The simple fact is she lost the nomination because she lacks basic management skills, lacks Bill’s political skills and isn’t trusted by the majority of voters. Rather than blaming sexism for her loss, feminists should be blaming her for reinforcing the idiotic stereotypes misogynists have against women’s ability to lead.

That's the crux of it:

If she can woo "committed" delegates, then the logic behind the statement, "She'll compete until there is a nominee," MUST mean that she will compete until the delegates cast their votes.

Until the votes are cast, the delegates are free to change their minds.

The end result is Clinton is aiming to take this to the convention.

She just doesn't want to say that now and drive away the uncommitted Super Delegates.

I'm an Obama guy all the way, but this "ending" is starting to look like a pennant winner that goes 5 and 20 in September.

ARG has not been all that reliable this year, but my God -- HRC 60-34 in South Dakota, and Montana now only 48-44 Obama!

IF both those states fall away into her column, Obama will have won only two states(out of 9) over the final three months of the primary/caucus season. (With most of his defeats being blow-outs.)

If he does go "over the top" this week, it will seem like a technical moment. Rather than some transcendent passage.

HRC is going nowhere. With nothing contested over the three months to Denver, she is going to work on the SDs. And hope for a major Obama scandal. (Or worse.)

If I were a superdelegate I would not answer the phone for a while. If they were Clinton supporters they would have already announced. Clinton is counting on them believing her spin that Obama is not a strong candidate in the general election. I think the opposite is true. Her fervent supporters or those that call in and say they'll be voting for McCain over Obama sound an awful lot like Limbaugh's dittoheads, who want a Clinton matchup because they know they can beat her. Obama is an unknown to them and so far no personal dirt, only pastors with big mouths and large gatherings with less than reputable people in attendance. Whereas the Clintons sold pardons and Lincoln bedroom stays and will bring out Republicans in force again with their litany of known offenses.

In other words, with Obama they have to make stuff up and twist events like a pretzel to try and gain traction whereas with the Clintons it's right there on the table like a sumptuous buffet.

Senator Clinton has run a tough, agressive campaign that is, without about 90% of the remaining superdelegates, going to come up short. After Senator Obama reaches the magic number sometime this week, it's time to remember what the real goal is...Making America safe and prosperous again. That requires getting behind an Obama/Webb ticket and beating McCain in Novemeber.

Hillary seems to believe it ain't over 'til she says it's over. This is the kind of posturing which causes people concern over her sense of entitlement.

Even if she does appeal the Michigan decision and wins it would only give her four more delegates.

I'd like to think that Hillary is just being tough and determined through the primaries as a tribute to her supporters. However, the lurking suspicion grows in my mind that, after constantly moving the goal posts to maintain an image of viabillity, she has dispensed with the goal posts altogether and is planning to go on to the convention.

She can't say outright that she intends to fight on to the convention because the party would rebel. However, as long as she can delay a week or two at a time, the super-delegates can continue to hold back while hoping that maybe tomorrow, next week, next month she'll step aside.

I hope I'm wrong. The voting ends tomorrow; a continued nomination fight after that would just be a knife in the side of the Party; crippling, if not fatal.

Ken in Ohio — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:02:58 GMT

It's time America takes a closer and deeper look at Senator Obama. Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He's not. He's the next George McGovern. And it's time people learned the facts.

Because the truth is th at Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.

Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant.. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America . But let's look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial "beauty."

Start with national security, since the president's most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the 1940s. Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.

Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on "the rich." How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.

Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, "All praise and glory to God!" but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have "hijacked" - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he refused to vote against a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francis co values, not Middle America values.

The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don't start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His vision of "bringing America together" means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.

I wouldn't expect Hillary to concede until the convention. She wants her voting bloc behind her until then, so she'll give no hints of conceding to Obama until the convention. That way, she and Bill don't have to help Obama until the general election.

HILLARY A CONVICTED CHEAT ... — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:04:53 GMT

…
A little reported jewel occurred at Saturday’s ‘Democratic Party Rules Committee Hearing.’

DONNA BRAZILE, one of the DEMS most politically experienced African-American women, with impeccable academic credentials, and a history of fighting for VOTING RIGHTS & INTEGRUTY (she is the Chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Voting Rights Institute) made a chastising rebuttal to HARLD ICKES, Hillary’s representative and strategist.

DONNA BRAZILE POINTEDLY TOLD HARLD ICKES THAT “TRYING TO CHANGE THE RULES IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME OR AT THE END IS COMMONLY CALLED ‘CHEATING.’”

Donna Brazile 'hit the nail' on Harold Ickes head and a stake through Hillary's heart. For all intents and purposes, Donna Brazile told Hillary, Bill and the rest of the Hillary Brigade, on national TV, that they were “cheats.” HILLARY’S CASE WAS STONE-DEAD AT THAT POINT.

According to USA Election Polls ratings of the pollsters:

American Research Group is, on average, 11.5 points off the actual results with their polls. A lot of that has to do with the fact that they have continuously under-represented the support that Barack Obama draws. In South Carolina, they predicted that Obama was up by 3 when he won by 28%. In Delaware they predicted a race that was within the margin of error when Obama won by 10 points.

At this point, you should be skeptical of any poll by ARG that shows a close election because Obama most likely is performing a bit better in the polls.

Back to me now - ARG clearly polls against Obama and now that it is the last primary would not be very reliable to even equal its own poor performance. Dont' get too upset.

As a Senator Obama supporter,
kudos to Senator Clinton for keeping on. Now, after tomorrow night, IF he gets to the required 2,118, then I think she should heed Tom Vilsack's direction and pack it in. She can suspend her campaign, and should anything happen where all of a sudden the Super D's feel Obama absolutely can't win, then she could reapproach them about the possibility of switching over to her at the convention. But absent that, once he gets to the required number, she should back off and start attacking McCain. After all, if she were somehow to become the nominee, quite honestly I can't fathom how that would come about, she'd want to already have started in on him.
And if everything happens as it should, with Obama coming out the convention with a full head of steam, then her bashing on McCain would only be something that helps the Dems.
Reasonable, objective and hopefully does not "irritate" the irascible Clinton supporters.

It's an interesting dilemna. It's clear that Hillary is the better candidate to defeat McCain, but she seems to be more and more disliked by the liberal wing of the democratic party. It seems that liberals would take an extreme risk of losing the general election rather than choose a candidate that is slightly (very slightly) less liberal than the other.

Sad to say, it won't be over anytime soon - the Clintons are trying to wheel/deal their way in whether anyone wants them or not. And i HOPE THAT OBAMA DOESN'T HAVE SEN. CLINTON AS VP - THIS COUNTRY WILL GO TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET IF THAT HAPPENS. Not only that, after comparing the assaination of Bobby Kennedy of the 60's how positive it was - it seems to me that that would be an underlying threat to Obama to watch his back....the Clintons will stop at NOTHING to get what they want, when they want it!!! His credibility AND her obvious lies, shady backroom deals, inconsistent flip-flopping on the Senate floor, as well as being a TERRIBLE role model for our children, who see that, "If you want what you want, when you want it, then it's all right to break the rules", will spell certain defeat for the Democratic Party and the DNC. Not to mention that, if by some miracle she's the Democratic Presidential candidate, ALL hell will break loose with the Africian American vote - which amounts to nothing more than using the Black people again for their advantage. The Democratic Party and the DNC have lost their credibility long ago......if the Democrats get elected, this country's going to hell in a handbasket!! I'll stick with McCain or Ron Paul...at LEAST I know WHAT they stand for, not for crazy, insane messes like Obama and/or Clinton!!!!

Democratic Party leaders believe us that we have had enough of this divisveness in the party. Please end this as soon as possible. Be it Hillary or Obama, I am tired of this primary and hopefully Hillary will not take this to the convention. This is not about Hillary or Obama; it's about the American people. Please end this NOW!

Keep drinking that Kool-Aid Paul. If you keep serving it, we'll start believing it.

OMG - you Hillary supporters are pathetic. The only way you can make yourselves feel better is to insult the supporters of your competitor.

NEWSFLASH - the primary is about the delegates, the GE is about the electoral college. Your "girl" is NOT ahead in any metric that actually matters.

Now, go back in your mom's basement and finish your Cheetos.

It seems to me we should get a bit more scientific about this superdelegates stuff here in the home stretch. Worst case scenario Obama get 15 pledged delegates Tuesday. That leaves him 27 delegates away from clinching, and he'll need to find those among supers plus remaining Edwards delegates.

Of the remaining supers there are some that we know where they stand because they've effectively said so (Donna Brazile, Jimmy Carter, James Clyburn) or because Obama has a majority of pledged delegates (Nancy Pelosi, her daughter). How many such folks are there? (We can likely add in Levine and Baucus).

It'd be helpful if news organizations listed off these near certanties so we could how many of the superdelegates Obama needs of those whose preference is truly unknown - and then we can decrease that number as theybreveal themselves.

Hillary can teach Huckabee a thing or two about how to go away. I wonder though, why is Hillary so desperate, this isn't like the Bush election or anything, she can't honestly think she has a chance. How sad and pathetic to see Hillary first hand, get down on her knees and beg.

Why does the media keep talking as if she has a chance. Do you really dislike her so much that you want to see her make a fool out of herself.

Clinton = Brittney Spears in politics. A train reck the media love to cover.
