As a white female in my mid 50s I find it odd that so many blue collar women support Hillary. When her husbands many mistresses came forward over the years Wellsley educated and elitist Hillary dismissed them publicly as lower class bimbos until the evidence finally caught up with Bill. As a parent of school age children at the time of the Lewinsky scandal and similar allegations I found it difficult to explain things to my kids. Years later there are still teens acting out because they are influenced by &amp;quot;its not sex&amp;quot; if its not intercourse ala Bill.

Many Hillary supporters will vote McCain over Obama, due to the unpatriotic remarks made by Wright. Obama cannot beat McCain, in a general election, without the votes of Hillary supporters, so if Obama is the nominee, you might as well hand the Presidency to McCain. At the end of the day, patriotism trumps all--especially when electing our President.

They are ruthless,shrewd,and evil. I just hope that there is no blookdshed when this is all over. If she steals the election, this 60 year old white woman will be at the convention rioting in the streets. I am mad as hell and do not want to hear them any more.

Hillary is obviously the better choice. No way should she drop out. There are still more than 2 weeks until PA. The ones who want her out are the Obama supporters because they are worried. Hillary can beat McCain. She is vetted. Her knowledge of the economy and healthcare are far and above Obama's. Yes, she voted for the war. She got duped. It was easy to be against the war when you dont have to make decisions in Congress. Barak Obama will make a good President someday....right now Hillary can make the biggest difference and make us a great nation once again.</description></item><item><title>Delegate count: Good news, bad news</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/04/858688.aspx#859198</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:06:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:859198</guid><dc:creator>Kris STL</dc:creator><description>Brother Odd and Latino in CHicago...&lt;br&gt; YOu better believe if a Mexican was in it and could win it they would be turning out in droves. And I would not be mad at them for that. Of course black people want a black president just like a lot of women (mostly white) want a woman namely Hillary. &lt;br&gt;Identity politics is nothing new. People want to vote for a president that represents them. Black people of course see that in Obama. I also think and I am not speaking for all blacks just myself.....that Obama represents more equality in this country. Than the American dream can be realized for all of us regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, gender. &amp;nbsp;And that is just the superficial reason to vote for Obama let us not forget that he is brilliant, compassionate, very presidential in appearance and demeanor. He would be an excellent statesmen and the rest of the world would take him far more seriously than say Hillary or McCain. Noone is goona beleive Hillary about ending the war she helped to start it. No one is gonna help John Mccain keep it going for years to come.....&lt;br&gt;Many people will not vote for Obama simply b/c he is black or they will vote for McCain or Hillary not b/c their policies are better, but b/c they are white which is worse. And take into account that African americans only make up about 14% of the entire population. so even if every eligible black voter voted for him it still would not be enough to elect him. So if you wanna blame someone fo rhis being elected blame all the good white people out there that are voting for him....maybe b/c he is black????</description></item><item><title>Delegate count: Good news, bad news</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/04/858688.aspx#859215</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:10:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:859215</guid><dc:creator>Jack</dc:creator><description>The love affair with Obama is dissipating!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He's just a rock star, plain and simple. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He had his day in the sun, now the sun is setting</description></item><item><title>Delegate count: Good news, bad news</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/04/858688.aspx#859226</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:13:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:859226</guid><dc:creator>M.

They bash Obama and his supporters as if they where republicans and call for anyone who isn't pro Clinton to be replaced. If the Clintons steal this election as they are trying to lets see if she can win The general election without that 90% black vote the Dems usually get or all those energized Obama supporters. let us not forget her husband is a disbarred lawyer, impeached former president who lied under oath, they say they represent the working man but they have made some 50 mil since leaving the whitehouse what a joke.</description></item><item><title>Delegate count: Good news, bad news</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/04/858688.aspx#859314</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:30:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:859314</guid><dc:creator>Capt.

Clinton is now leading in Indiana, where she was down by 20 points at one time. She leads in Pennslyvnania, Ky, West Virginia, Oregon and Puerto Rico and she still can win, not only the popular vote, but the delegate vote as well. </description></item><item><title>Delegate count: Good news, bad news</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/04/858688.aspx#859377</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:43:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:859377</guid><dc:creator>Beba,Memphis</dc:creator><description>The&amp;quot;Bosnia&amp;quot; is less then minor thing comparing with Rev.Wright.

The Clinton's have a 'say or do anything to win' trait that I believe has been the standard in politics for the past 16 years. &amp;nbsp;Enough is enough.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I propose that Democrats come together and support the one candidate who can realy bring about change. &amp;nbsp;Sen. Obama is honest, has enormous integrity and he's the one person who can bring this country together. &amp;nbsp;He will give UNITED in The United States new meaning.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Electing Clinton as the first female President by using underhanded, mean spirited political tactics, lies and embellishments does not reflect well on women. &amp;nbsp;It will be viewed by the world at large as business as usual in Washington, it will adversely affect the American people and last but not least, it will make it impossible for another woman to run for the highest office in the forseeable future.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would like change we can believe in, Obama 08.</description></item></channel></rss>
