Hillary Clinton to explain derogatory statements made about Mississippi. &lt;br&gt;In October, Clinton told the Des Moines Register newspaper that &amp;quot;I was shocked when I learned Iowa and Mississippi have never elected a woman governor, senator or member of Congress. There has got to be something at work here…when you look at the numbers, how can Iowa be ranked with Mississippi? That's not what I see. That's not the quality. That's not the communitarianism. That's not the openness I see in Iowa.”&lt;br&gt;The Obama campaign will call on the Clinton campaign to explain these remarks and a pattern of dismissing Southern states throughout this campaign, according to a press release sent to Mississippi media organizations. &lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080305/NEWS01/80305018"&gt;http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080305/NEWS01/80305018&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Obama camp claims TX delegate victory</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/05/734667.aspx#734704</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 22:56:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:734704</guid><dc:creator>tommy fell, wisconsin</dc:creator><description>Hillary = the same old story. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Plain and simple we need drastic change or our Union is lost forever.

She has had several second-chances in this election and consistently underperformed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Her first firewall- NH, ended up in a ZERO delegate advantage. Her second firewall- Super Tuesday, ended up with a ZERO delegate advantage- actually a minus. Her third firewall- TX and OH, ended up with 4 more delegates. Now, another firewall is Pennsylvania, where she'll likely end up with .... let me think- ZERO more delegates. Meanwhile Obama remains wide ahead with 156 delegates.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Clintons are deeply troubled if they still can't get it. If Obama's the nominee, he will win all the states Democrats normally win and then he'll win Virginia, swing states and about two more red states to re-draw the political map. That's far superior to Clinton's tried and failed 47% strategy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DON'T BE FOOLED, DEMOCRATS!

Some of the exit poll responses seem off, such as importance of race. Also, couldn't that explain Hillary's weakness in the Texas caucuses, if the spoilers voted in the primary but didn't want to show themselves in public? The irony is that Obama supporters might have enabled this voting bloc by making sure everyone got to vote, especially the party crossovers. There's some real dirt hiding in these numbers. It sounds crazy, but crazier things have happened in US politics. All we need is one voter who identifies himself in public as taking Rush's advice. </description></item><item><title>Obama camp claims TX delegate victory</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/05/734667.aspx#734828</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:38:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:734828</guid><dc:creator>Chris, New York, NY</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;Plouffe said that after last night's delegate totals are added in all four states, Clinton would have yielded a net gain that was less than what Obama took out of the state of Idaho on Feb. 5th.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tic toc tic toc, time's running out HRC supporters.</description></item><item><title>Obama camp claims TX delegate victory</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/05/734667.aspx#734831</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:39:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:734831</guid><dc:creator>gary - chicago</dc:creator><description>Hillary will eventually need to leave - even if they have to use a cane around the neck at some point.</description></item><item><title>Obama camp claims TX delegate victory</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/05/734667.aspx#734832</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:39:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:734832</guid><dc:creator>dn in Seattle</dc:creator><description>I think it is ironic that the Obama campaign is saying that Clinton should not &amp;quot;overturn the voters&amp;quot; by asking super delegates to vote for her. &amp;nbsp;In Texas, Clinton won the popular vote, yet will not win the delegate battle due to arcane Democratic Party rules. &amp;nbsp;The super delegates are part of the process, just like the Texas Two Step which greatly aided Obama.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can't have it both ways.</description></item><item><title>Obama camp claims TX delegate victory</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/05/734667.aspx#734833</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:41:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:734833</guid><dc:creator>Clintonfatigue</dc:creator><description>Hil'liar was on CNN spreading more lies:She claimed to have secured Nothern Ireland peace accord which,as we all know,was the sole work of PM Blair &amp;amp; the accomplishment was only made 2 years ago where Bill failed;Hil'liar seems to confuse being on trips to get funds for her husband from questionable donors &amp;amp; being on diplomatic missions.We all know &amp;quot;China&amp;quot; wasn't about women right but funding Clinton political career &amp;amp; later library.WHERE IS THE TAX RETURN,THE LEAST WE CAN ASK FOR NOW! </description></item><item><title>Obama camp claims TX delegate victory</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/05/734667.aspx#734839</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:42:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:734839</guid><dc:creator>scott, tx</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;Her primary delegate yield will be zero or it will be tied or it will be two.

The media was complicit along with Hillary’s vile negative Republican style attacks. Every channel I turned to had Hillary. The fear mongering remake ad was played non stop as opposed to Obama's response ad. The media was obsessed with creating a come back kid. Continuing this cycle will only damage the Democratic Party and give the win to McCain.

Please get over yourself. She is not going to make it. What she will do is destroy the PARTY trying. Get over your racism and vote for who is winning in the polls, popular vote, delegates, number of states. That person is Barack Obama.
