It is not only Hillary's "SUPER" problem. It is Hillary's "SUPERNATURAL" problem. She is fighting a match that has already been decided in Heaven. God says Barack Obama is the next sherpherd of the American people. So Hillary is fighting an invisible hand and in invincible power that is backing Obama. The Man Upstairs has already finished with this race and He has made Obama the winner. Whether we wait to see what will happen in TX or OH, that will not change the divine backing that is behind Obama. I am telling you folks. Mark my words. No one can defeat this young fellow. McCain has no slice of a chance for the White House. Those of you who don't like Obama may need to try getting used to seeing him in the Rose Garden.

I fully believe the Clintons were responsible for bringing race into the race before South Carolina - and I fully understand that Clinton supporters will reject that notion. But I mention it just to qualify my next comment.

I don't see anything wrong with Rendall's statement. Its political analysis, and probably accurate analysis. Given everything that's happened in this campaign, he may have been wiser not to say it. But it would take an overly sensitized audience to see his comments as race baiting.

Ed Rendell needs to issue an apology. If we listen to him then living in America is a hopeless venture for millions of African Americans and other ethnic groups. He is telling us that Blacks are expected to vote for whites but there is something wrong with whites voting for blacks. If he ever runs for office again voters should remember his horrible comments.Clinton should get him out of her campaign asap. This the old thinking of people whose day has come and gone. He is out of touch. If voters in PA are racist then he should be trying to do something positive about it, not feeding into it and making excuses for it.

Hillary won't win the general election if she even gets the dem nomination. Here is just a few points.
1. If she losses an election, she does not even have the habit to say thank you even for those who voted for her. This shows how much she is selfish.
2. When she losses an election, she used to excus like they do not vote for dem party, they are blacks , they are small and insignigicant for the general election bla bla bla. What do all these tell? She is a racist and she also does not stand for the right of small states, another point of her selfishness.
3.She does every thing to get elected. She can say any thing just to get elected. What does it mean? How is that possible for some one to do every thing? Are really folk foolish failing to understand the constraints in the real world and just accept her voice straight? This is a big point where she is lying, chaning position ....
4.Why can not she return her tax card and let people know? she said if i get the dem nomination, i would do. Is it a give and take system? why is she afraid of showing it? I think the media has to make things clear. This issue has to be discussed with all the respects.

I think we are forgetting about something here "Our Country". Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said "You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate.” It's not about being white or black or red anymore is about who is able to run the country better and bring it back on track. It's like my grandfather usd to say why would you go out and clean someone elses house when the mesiest of all is your own. This government is trying to fix other countries while their own is falling apart. I'm not allowed to vote because i'm not a citizen but i still pay my taxes and work hard to earn my money while other people are just sitting at home waiting for the goverment check to come in. And the homeless who are out on the street get no help because they don't have a home. How many people haven't lost their home and ask them ifit was because of their color. So why should we look at Obamas color if he is the one who is going to help us clean our house, Our Country. But is up to you you can either help him or get out of the way and let him do what needs to be done.

If Obama gets more delagates than clintonthe baby boomers and the over 60 will vote for Mccain.We will need someone to be able to take over and run this country from day one.Obama isn'the one.All the people under 40 go for Obama but not the baby boomers and i have five of them.Bill clinton is right give me a break.Obama hasn't been up in washington even two years and he has said he never got into washington but he knew it need a change .Every one in this country knows that we need a change but not a black president.If he did get to be president i believe the first thing he would do is start pardoning the blacks from prison.It is said that 80% of the people in prison are black.Hillary was right that Obama worked five months as a lawyer for a slum lord.The slum lord owned the house the Obamas live in they got it for one million dollars.It is a (four million dollar house).The Ilinois state government is investigating it.Obama has said that it is a mistake he wished he didn't make.If he works for some one five months and gets a home worth four million and got to be president it looks like he will work for anyone that would line his pockets.We already have a president like that.if he gets the democrated vote and runs for the presidency the baby boomers and the over 60 will vote for Mc cain.by the way Obama isn't an american according to Teddy Roosevelhe said to be an American you shall have no other name before you.Obamas African American.He is not from Africa. the blacks tried to get our government to give them money because Ronald Reagon gave the japanes that were still alive and were put in detention moneycan you imagine that.

I could see having a sanctioned primary in MI & FL which is contested and counts--and gives Ds a chance to boost chances in the fall in those states, but right or wrong, the DNC--and candidates agreed up front those primaries were not to be contested or counted.

The media is on board, so Hillary will have a difficult race, but to question her committment to other people is insane.

Governor Rendell is sadly showing not just his debt to the Clintons but his age and, to my surprise, a weirdly regressive view of his electorate and his party. He outdummied Bill Clinton himself who wrote off Obama's win in South Carolina as 'just like what that other black candidate, Jesse Jackson did' in the Clinton era. According to our governor, Obama's just like Lynn Swann- charming and good looking, but black. Yikes!!! Which millenium is this?

As a white guy that has always worked to be fair in my dealings with members of all races it is upsetting to see that the Obama team seems to try to make any statement about black voting habits into some sort of racial code or bias. Black individuals form a block and to acknowledge this fact has nothing to do with race and everything to do with political reality.

It is also not racial to acknowledge that some people will not vote for blacks just because they are black. It is a fact and if one intends to win in November it is a fact that must be addressed in some way.
What is racial is the constant attempt by some to brand individuals as racist to achieve a political end.

Watching the Obama speech in Wi last night, it took on the appearance of an anti war, anti hate, anti ignorance rally. The response from the crowd on war comments was as far as i could tell the largest perhaps only eclipsed by the crowd response to the man himself.

The issue that appears to be deciding this (and it was used by McCain in his speech last night as well and is on NPR this morning) is war, hate, narrow minded ness.
An invitation to Americans to wake up and think, to
stop allowing skilled language manipulators to tell you how to think and feed you opinion.

Mindset was a word used by Obama last night as well and as far as I know, a new 'concept' for his campaign. The change we seek is us and the change needed the most is for all of us to think for ourselves in a rational way.

If you are in the camp that believes that the Clintons can not win against McCain and that makes you feel comfortable or smug in your resolve to vote Obama, please think again and go out and find a Clnton supporter and rationally get their opinion on war, hate and mindset. Do what you can to wake them from their daze. They have been hypnotized.

There is plenty of time left for plenty of work to be done to remove the Clintons from the scene.

The same thing with Bush, who often remains defiant until Congress gives in to his ways. This is "either my way or the highway" strategy being employed by th Clintons.
I tell you my fellow Americans, Clinton is no doubt a hypocrite. I recently heard her talking about how much she wanted DC residents to ahve full voting rights, while during her husband's presidency and DC residents' demands for more voting rights, she did absolutely nothing.

Gov. Ed Rendell (Pennsylvania), one of Hillary Rodham Clinton's most visible supporters, said some white Pennsylvanians are likely to vote against her rival Barack Obama because he is black.

"You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate," Rendell told the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in remarks that appeared in Tuesday's paper.

Once again the Clinton Campaign sends out one of their Lackeys to Race-bait the electorate.

Gov. Rendell is a Lying, Racist Bigot! He should resign immediately!

2. It is Racist White Liberals that will not vote for Obama. This should make the Clintons happy….They are winning 100% of the White Racist votes!

I would rather vote for someone with a plan, than for a lofty, unattainable dream. Do Democrats really believe that independents and republicans, who are voting for Obama, will stay with him in November. There are no Obamacans. McCain has the republican nomination wrapped up, and many republicans are voting for Obama because they know he will be easier to defeat in November. I am also greatly offended by the racism claims against the Clintons and the white population in general. The election results have shown that close to 50 % of the white voters are voting for Obama in many states. Less than 50% for white females: more than 50% for white males. Yet nothing is said about the 80-90% of the black vote going to Obama. Which group is letting race determine their vote? Leno went out on the streets of New York to see who the average person on the street was going to vote for……all the blacks said they were voting for Obama…some didn’t even know his name….they just said they were going to vote for the black guy. Many voters didn’t recognize photographs of any of the candidates. I guess Leno was right, we get what we deserve. Let’s face the facts, the average voter bases his or her vote on a few TV ads and on what the press leads them to believe. Very few voters dig deeper to see how each candidate stands on the issues. Please, for the sake of the Democratic Party, base your vote on the issues. Remember that there are no Obamacans. Republicans will vote for McCain in November and our nation will be doomed to 4 more years of the same.

Eight out of the 9 polls taken the first 10 days of February showing Obama beating McCain, with only the NPR poll showing a McCain win by 1 point (within the margin of error). In a McCain-Clinton matchup, 6 of those polls show a win for McCain, 2 for Clinton, and one a tie. So who is the most electable candidate? Obama. He has won 21 states to Hillary's 10. As someone pointed out, he didn't win NY. Well, duh, that is her home state BUT he did win 40% of the vote, so what does that tell you.

Of the Democratic candidates he has the most legislative experience. And even if he didn't, this country certainly couldn't do any worse than Bush Lite whose only experience was being a governor in a state where the governor has almost no power (except to fry people). And your VP and cabinet help round out the experience . . . no candidate comes to the table with experience in all areas. If they did, they could also walk on water.

If the Dems want to win in November they HAVE to put forth a candidate who can beat McCain and the polls indicate that that is Obama, not Clinton.

If the DNC allows Michigan and Florida to count, then those states need to redo their primaries. Only Clinton and Kucinich were on the MI ballot because the DNC asked the candidates not to have their names on the ballot. Of course Clinton would not agree with the DNC because she thinks she is above the party. Because the FL vote wasn't going to count, only Clinton campaigned there. So if those states are to be counted, they need a FAIR primary -- one with ALL names on the ballot and one where the candidates abided by the DNC mandates and where the candidates have campaigned.

And Hillary needs to release her tax returns.

The Republicans WANT her on the ballot because they feel they can beat her. What does that tell you? If she is the candidate the Dems will lose the White House in November and then we will have more of the same old regime, with an old geezer for a prez, who is about an inspiring as a piece of lettuce and who thinks the war could go on for 100 years. Is that what we really want for this country?

Additionally, an MSNBC analysis shows that Clinton will need to win at least 56% of the vote in ALL of the remaining contests to win the nomination, even counting the superdelegates. Superdelegates are also backing away from their initial support of her because of Obama's crushing wins. There is no way that she is going to win 56% of the vote in all of the remaining contests, no way. And NM is still up in the air.

If this were a horse race and I was at the track, I certainly wouldn't go to the betting window and put any money on Clinton. Why back a losing horse?

I am African American and proud of Baracks accomplishments, but he is full of hot air and promises. He talks about change and dreams not being deferred, but he is very unspecific. At least Hillary gives details about what she wants to accomplish. Whether you support Barack or Hillary you have to ask yourself why Barack continually refuses to debate Hillary in states like Wisconsin? Why are the only debates on cable sponsored programs like CNN? I live in an African American community and most people who will go out and vote for Barack, do not have access to CNN or the internet, so maybe we need to start asking why there have been no debates on public television for the average citizen??

How does being First Lady qualify you to be president? She only knows what big money special interest groups to squeeze. I don't want the surgeons spouse to have a scalpel. We don't need a Clinton monarchy.

Interesting. What all of you Clintonites seem to miss is: Even with the delegates from Michagan counted, Obama is still winning the Delegate count, still winning the Pop Vote count, and that does include superdelegates.

For those of you who question the validity of Clinton's su[perdelegates jumping ship... two already have, and more ARE expected.

I can't believe 1/2 of the Democrats in this country are being sucked in by this, nothing more than, inspirational message Obama is running on. It's unbelievable that people can be so naieve. But, when I think .. this is the same country that voted in GWB for a second term, nothing should really surprise me. Hillar Clinton is clearly the most qualified candidate on either side to get us out of this mess we're in. It'll take a lot more than "talk".

I wonder if Mr. Rendell realizes that some people won't vote for lying white people either.

The offer to have a redo caucus in Florida and Michigan is fair. Hillary should take it or shut up.
Oh that's right she doesn't think caucuses are "fair".

But changing the rules in the middle of the contest are fair ?

When did any Clinton worry about FAIR?

Don't you Obama cult members realize the Republicans are using reverse psychology ... do you honestly think Karl Rove (the biggest Repuke of them all) would all but "endorse" the one they felt they would have trouble beating in the general election? He's saying Hillary is the Repub's. dream candidate, so that people will do just what they're doing ... vote for Obama. In reality, he knows the Repubs. will have a hard time beating Clinton, but is assured they'll make mincemeat out of Obama. Use your brains, people. Again, it's called Reverse Psychology .. which usually works on folks without minds of their own. i.e. Obama's cult following. As a FL resident, I will NOT vote in the general election, if my vote is not counted in the primary. Simple as that. If my vote isn't important enough to count in the primary, don't count on it in the general.

J. Merle,
You are the one who is pathologically biased. You don't make an effort to explain why you are talking so hatefully of Obama and the media. If there are any critical issues you felt the media should address, you must throw in these issues. All you do is wave a big fat accusatory finger at anyone in this campaign season when your chosen candidate is bashed by us voters on this forum and whenever you see an article discussing about Hillary in negative terms. You will rejoice immediately if you see an article that is hateful or negative toward Senator Obama.
I am telling you, if you want to argue with voters who desire change, do so responsibly and with an informed mind. Most of your accusations are baseless and you have no evidence to support much of your hateful arguments. If Obama is flawed in your eyes, you should say so and provide facts to back up that claim, not because you are deeply in love with Hillary or pathologically resentful of the media -- if you are, then leave MSNBC alone and do your own fact checking.

We don't want what we have had the past 20 years.
We need a new direction. "peace"

Maria,
How is winning 8 states in a row with very different demographics “an illusion”? How can HRC supporters keep ignoring the reality that the citizens of the USA (and Canada) are overwhelmingly voting for Obama?

Gov. Ed is trying, in vain, to influence voters who might depend on opinion rather than fact checking to make a decision -- a decision to vote for Hillary. This guy is painting PA whites as bigots, and I will see if that holds up when the election happens in March. You guys have to note that Obama won 9 red states to Hillary's 4 in the Super Tuesday contests.

some Hilalry suporters are sounding so "condenseding" when they talk abouty Obama suporters being "decieved." Yet, you count Hillary's time in the White House as a first lady as an "experience that prepares one to lead."

Setting all that aside, look at the many judgement calls the candidates made in teh past year. WHO HAS BEEN CHANGING his/her position as the wind blows in a different direction?

WHO IS LOSING CONTROL OF HER STAFF?

WHO MADE MISCALCULATIONS AFTER MSICALCUALTIONS?

THE WAY THE CANDIDATES RUN THEIR CAMPAIGN TELLS YOU A LOT ABOUT THEIR LEADERSHIP QUALITIES AND THE WAY THEY MAY RUN THE COUNTRY.

GO OBAMA.

The accusation that Barack Obama has no stance and that he has nothing more than an inspirational message is the naive response. It is a talking point promulgated by the Clinton campaign. Have those who push this viewpoint ever actually watched the entirety of an Obama speech? It includes details...very specific details. However, the highlights shown on the cable networks are exactly that: points in a speech which arouse the crowd. Simply because Clinton adds large numbers to her dialogue, does not mean that she is more specific, particularly when no one knows from where that money is supposed to come.

Those of you who claim Obama is all talk and no substance are clearly not paying attention. It is possible to be both inspirational and substantive. There are perfect moments for the expression of both qualities. Barack is articulate and inspiring in televised stump speeches and detailed and substantive in debates, the more appropriate place for discussions of the ins-and-outs of his policies. Get your heads out of your rear ends and pay attention. Stop dismissing his awe inspiring rhetoric as nothing more than platitudes and empty promises. If you want to see below the surface, stop being so damn superficial and open your ears.

If being in the White House gives Hillary experience, then we should vote in the White House pastry chef, Roland Mesnier - he's been there like 25 years! He/she probably has more experience than anyone!

Hillary Clinton is using divisive tactics to win votes. She and Bill have more than hinted that Obama won certain states because of a higher than average black population and now she is bunching all latinos/mexicans into a big group for herself.
Individuals are voting, not mexicans, not whites nor blacks, not morans........
I believe she will find that her "Latino" vote will be insulted by her tactics.
I have to ask if she is ready on 'Day One' what has she done in her political capacity to make that claim. I can think of nothing.

All this Obama fervor (which seems to be incredibly negative and virulently nasty on this site) confirms one thing: No one can shoot themselves in the foot like the Democratic party. Remeber the last time a president was elected who has such little experience? Yup - 2000 and 2004. That worked out nicely didn't it? Obama nominee = President McCain

Obama has a lot of Republicans voting for him and it looks like all is going as they've planned. If Obama ends up being the Dem nominee, the Republicans will wipe the floor with him. He'll never ba able to run again untarnished with the same blind rock-star cult following he has today. McCain will be a one-tern President, and Hillary will run again and win the Presidencey in 4 years.

no substance in his speech
no credits for doing anything as a senator
Obama, how would he win?
half of the democrats vote for him -possible
because democtats usually select a unqulified candidate such as Kerry in 2004

but I believe most of the Americans are smart enough to select a qualified president.

so it is impossible for him to win the general election.

America is a great nation.

God bless American.

I think this election is going to be a tragedy. Obama is not ripe, nor does he have the background or experience to be President of this great country. Obama appeals to the irresponsible youth whose philosophy is "me, myself and I" which is the very wrong of our sosciety today. Look at this cooulture which dresses like beggars, listen to their immoral music, listen to their decrepit language. Is that what America wants.? Europe and Asia are laughing at us. We are loosing our credit in the world at large.Be sensible, and vote for the energetic,smart and professionally capable Hillary Clinton who is the only one capable and experienced to run this country.
