Strickland is only delusional in that he is helping McCain by having Hillary as his opponent in Sept. to easily crush her. There is not much difference on foreign policy between Hillary and McWar, so if she becoems the nominee, McCain must thank Strickland.

Fact: Obama has more delegates
Fact: Obama has more votes
Fact: Obama has won more states
Fact: Clinton was up by at least 20 points in both states 3 weeks ago
Fact: Both Ohio and Texas will be close.
By any measure, in any election and with any candidate, tonight would be viewed as a setback, if not a disaster for Ms. Clinton. Despite her lead of three weeks ago, she will manage only a draw this evening and will not gain any delegates.

The best political team on televisiondoes not report or emphasize these facts enough, but rather chooses to privilege conjecture, speculation and opinion. Where's the journalism? You are not writing a fiction, inventing a narrative that only serves to miseducate the viewers.

The media, press whatever you call yourselves. Stop persecuting Hillary! You are not even objective! Why don't you ask Obama when he is going to quit?
Why should Hillary stop her campaign, it is going very well, by America's account - especially with the press, throwing all kinds of dirt on her, and wishing Obama is the " King". Shame on the press! It's time to be fair to Hillary! I even discontinue LA Times, because it chose to endorse Obama! Press and media should be non-biased, stay out of opinions and positioning or spinning for another candidate.
Hillary is doing fantastic with such negative media's coverage, so far!

HILLARY! She proven herself to be the strongest Democratic candidate to me and to my state of OHIO!!! I am proud to be from OHIO, and will be in the fall when Ohio finally goes Democratic!!! I do like Obama as well, (I am 22 and he is hope and rockstar quality excite many my age) but I trust Hillary Clinton to get the foreign policy stuff right from the start…which is desperately needed. The escalating situation with Iran, the trade and deficit issues with China, and of course Iraq. I am also confident in her health care plan…knowing that she has put years of hard work into developing a well-rounded plan allows me to say this. We can trust that she knows this issue well and that she will fight for us. I do have to say this though: Democrats—let’s stick together no matter what happens! We know that domestically speaking we are in need of our parties care. We know that our foreign policy must shift and be refocused. I, the 22 year old optimist that I am, am proud to be a Democrat. HILLARY 2008.

After seven years of Bush, you'd think people would be eager for change. Instead, all they seem to want is another Bush in pumps.

Don't wake up the morning after with buyers remorse, like those who voted for Bush twice. By then it will be too late.

She voted for a war based on stupidity. She voted for the bankruptcy reform bill. She approved of NAFTA. She screwed up universal health care in 92. I guess she really does have the makings to be a great president.

We didnt have a big national debt in fact we were out of debt. Look back in history everytime a republican gets in for Pres. we are in debt and it takes a good democrat to get us out. I know bill's history but he is no different than the rest of the men in this country including McCain with his little honey from Homer city pa. So we need to think before we vote and obama is just a big talker. no one heard of him till now. He maybe the antichrist. look at his background. barrack hussein obama that tells me enough right there. Go hilary...we know you can make it

It's interesting to me that the Clinton supporters would chant "yes she will." It provides an interesting insight between the two candidates. "Yes she will" connotes a liberal individualist perspective, while "yes we can" is closer to a communitarian appeal. "Yes we can invites possibilities, while "yes she will" is more limiting. The liberal individualist approach invites people to cast their vote for Clinton, and sit back and relax while she and her administration run things for us. "Yes we can" invites audiences to participate in the process of governing. The work doesn't stop at election day. Election day is merely the beginning.

Is anyone else disturbed by the very concept that only she claims that she wins the "important" states? This is a national party, isn't it? Democrats in Idaho are still members of the party. Their party should reflect (to some degree) their views. If not, why not just have primaries in states that Kerry won in 2004?

Sam Mac — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 07:38:50 GMT

Keith Olbermann just announced over TV tonight 3/5 after the Super Tuesday II results that Hillary Clinton has some six TV morning appearances, including Fox News, Morning Joe, Good Morning America, etc.

Take note: When Barack Obama won over 25 states and was leading in the number of delegates (which he still does), none of these outlets invited Barack Obama for interviews. To me this just shows that the white media wants their own to win the democratic nomination. If Barack had lost as many states as Hillary had lost, the media and the Democratic Party bosses would have hounded him out long ago. But Hillary Clinton? - no. they keep her in and when she wins another few states they rejoice and invite her on all the talk shows.
The guy - Obama - came virtually from no where to overtake the the vaunted decades-in-the-making Clinton machine. But is the media inviting him for interviews. No, because what he has done means nothing to them. His all-inclusive message contrasts sharply with Clinton's gender-based message. But the media does not want to hear it.
Barack will go on to win many more contests but I think they will all be downplayed or belittled by the media.

This shows you why Barack cannot win in the General Election. All the Whites, including the predominantly White media will cast their secret ballots for the White candidate.

THIS IS WHAT A PERSON WITH PERCEPTIVE COMMON SENSE SEES: I see one campaign within the democratic party, running a professional and dignified race. I see the other campaign doing anything and saying everything to win.

Clinton campaign is without morrality. How can people want someone leading our country, who is deceptive, doesn't stop at anything to get a result, rearranges truths, has no respect the vote of the people of america, and will risk degrading a fellow democrat in order to get what SHE wants?

Hillary is not for the people. She is for herself. She basically says, all of these votes, that people have taken the time to register, doesn't mean anything, it's up to a handful of americans to decide who gets the nomination. WRONG! Then, why did we vote???

This is a model of how she will carry on business. SHE WILL ONLY RECOGNIZE, RESPECT, AND TAKE ACTION FOR THOSE WHO SHE DEEMS ARE IMPORTANT TO HER AND HER INTEREST. The usual protocol in Washington.

Hillary is not running to lead the people. She is not running for the people. She's running for herself and her glory. That's why she doesn't care what she says about Obama. When you have no scruples, your hands aren't tied on any mode of operation; just, whatever works.

I do not trust Hillary. I see that she is fairly underhanded, and manipulative. She is divisive. She ignores whatever isn't appealing to her own interests.

I don't think Obama is so great, but, he holds himself to more of a professional and dignified call to leadership. I believe he cares about what he says, and want just say anything. I believe that what comes out of his mouth, is not just a manipulative ploy. I believe that Obama transcends the usual protocol of politics. I believe that he has a connection and understands what the MAJORITY of voters want.

Why should her taxes matter when you say his lies on nafta and his own shady realestate purchases do not. why continue this mud slinging by the biased media when in fact the obama camp is just realizing they are playing in the big leagues if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen and to those who say you will not vote then you are who is dividing this country not the other way around. If you would vote for mccain because of hillary then you should have not right to vote because you are naive just as obama is. the process is flawed I agree with that but to say she came out with this I am going to be the nom because I am hillary clinton needs to go back to some obamas speeches and realize he is the one who thinks america should just bow down and hand him the victory. get over yourself look at facts not emotion because emotin is never logical and facts are. Look up the history of the last president seated who did not win in ohio and florida. If he can not carry the big states then that will give the election to the republicans again. stp all this wishy washy politics test the man on his facts flaws in his character and test his strengh and remember what we got the last time we sent an untested man who was crowned based on who he knew to be our leader we are now at war. and realize say what you want now but when we went to war 95% of the amercian public supported it. and now we d not so heres the deal if we were winning the war and nt suffering staggering gas prices our econmy was not headed for recession then those who claim they were aganist it would be n the defense remember hindsight is always better and Hillary voted just as most americans would have and Obama can claim whst he wants had he been there an able to vote he to would have supported it.
