This appears to be a pattern for Senator Clinton...if folks don't support her she appears to have no issue with writing them off.

Look at the states that Senator Obama has won. The Clinton Campaign frowns upon them and doesn't think they're significant.

Maybe this is why they continue to make the misguided argument that Senator Obama wouldn't be able to win a state in the General Election if he didn't win it in the Primaries...the mind-set is if they don't support you, write them off.

New Independent — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:21:55 GMT

I hope all the southern middle class Americans take note of her comment. I think it's much worse than being called bitter, which by the way, I am. Especially after last night's so called "debate"??? It looked like Obama was debating 3 people not just Hillary. My family and I thought he did a great job and he should have been even more annoyed. THis is precisely the kind of politics he is hoping to do away with. He wants to talk about the ISSUES people! I am so glad he finally fought back (in spite of the fact that you could tell he didn't really want to) about Bill Clinton commuting the sentence on two weatherman. I suppose Hillary doesn't think that's worse that serving on a charity board. Does everyone check out everyone they serve and associate with? I agree with Obama. Is he supposed to answer for the viewpoints and beliefs of everyone he is associated with? And I don't believe he was comparing a Republican with a terrorist! Come on.

What is the point? We all know Clinton was very liberal when she came to Washington and that her years of experiance in working with people from other points of view brought her to the center.

If this is some attempt to draw a comparison between Clinton and Obama it is off the mark....but totally fair to bring up.

Thank you, finally. I'm tired of all the news outlets digging through every flaky relationship Obama has had all in the name of "well this is what the Republicans will throw at you in the fall, so we'll throw it at you now". Hillary has gotten a free pass in this context either because the media doesn't think she will get the nod, or they're in it for her to win it... either way, its an unbias approached and I'd like to see more "vetting" of Hillary.

Obama took the heat and did not faulter...
and when Obama kept his cool...
McClinton changed national forgien policy..by saying there would be an immediate response if Isreal was attacked...they have been attacked....She would cause us to go to war without the Wars Power Act???

First of all, Howard Wolfson is a liar and is covering for Clinton. Secondly, this would normally not be an issue except that Clinton has raised the issue of talking down and belittling working class white voters. This comment is a direct insult to them unlike Obama's comment. Hillary Clinton is a liar and I believe the people who were there and have confirmed what she said. Hillary Clinton hates working class white voters and this statement proves that. Normally this issue shouldn't get much play but since Clinton ran with bitter-gate, the media should play out the "screw em-gate".

Amazing you hold Obama acountable for every single thing, even when he was 8. She knew she meant that and that should be on the air.

This is what we get for her 35 years, what a joke and I can't believe people would vote for her knowing this. Although, I am sure it will only be written here and she will continue to ride off into the sunset as if she is the best candidate.

How is she different now, nothing has changed, remember she has the experience for 35 of great and wonderful things and she has always been for the working class; ha fooled America again.

I think hillary clinton is the worst possible presidential candidate, that being said I think it kind of childish to bring up something that happened in 1995, under the circumstances what hillary said makes since to me, I really wish the press would look at issues, policies, things that effect citizens instead of every tabloidish 'gotcha' moment they can dredge up, this whole nomination cycle has been a 'non issue' oriented mud slinging fest perpetuated by a irresponsible media hell bent on jaw dropping nonsense, I can’t even remember when anyone in the media has mentioned a relevant issue, kind of sad

Well, well, boo hoo Hillary the booed, and 'screwed'.

She did herself no favors last night. I think support for Obama will swell even greater after last night's attempted hamstringing.

Exactly my point. Are we really supposed to believe that she is the standard bearer for the little guy! I almost vomited last night when she talked about being the granddaughter of a Pennsylvanian. She's never cared about the little guy. Everything she's done has been calculated. There are reasons to elect her as President but her concern for the man on the street is not one of them.

Obama was torn down MALICIOUSLY !
I know that the previous debates have not been easy on Clinton ... but this one went beyond that .. it was MEAN SPIRITED ... well beyond the unfair treatment that the Clintons get.

One point ; AFRICAN-AMERICANS are watching this ... They are watching one of their own being attacked unfairly.
You have no idea what they are feeling, how it's building inside them. I mean their first true leader that they are really behind ... BE CAREFUL HILLARY . BE CAREFUL.

I find Sen. Clinton more and more repulsive. It is SO obvious that she will say and do whatever she needs to to get elected. I am continuously amazed that there are still people out there supporting her that really WANT all the nastiness and lying that follows she and her husband around much like the dark cloud of dirt that envelops Pigpen in the Charlie Brown comics, back in the White House for 4 more years. PLEASE people, can we finally turn the page on the Washington politics of the past, and have a President that wants to do things differently? Her demeanor during last nights debate was utterly disgusting to me. She is determined to fight this fight in the gutter and because she has chosen to use backstreet tactics she is the one who has ended up getting the most dirtied by it. A lesson to us all, and the reason she will not win the democratic nomination.

Gee, why didn't they bring up THIS in the debate?

You know, as the moderators even joked, Clinton wasn't getting near as much time as Obama in the first 50 minutes, maybe this would have been a great second question for Clinton. You know, 6 laoded questions for Obama, Clinton only got 1 loaded question, I'm SURE she felt left out.

And "Screw Em!" is a lot worse than anything Obama said... that's for sure.

So, let's think about this - Mrs Clinton can toss back a shot and a beer with the boys, and she can say "screw 'em" - SURELY, WE WANT HER REPRESENTING OUR BELOVED AMERICA. Wouldn't it be just great to have her (and her sick husband) in the White House again?? NOT!!! WE aren't sick enough to want to go thru their nonsense for four years!!

Screw her, she is really untrustworthy. She is in the race merely out of self-centeredness. I tell you First Read that while Obama made many misstakes, it is Hillary who repeated the mistakes she made and who repeated her lies. This woman is so pathetic that all she can do is try to manipualte less bright brains to make them listen to her and believe her.
I am sure Obama could have easily beaten her on the debate if he had been motivated and had the ennergy to pick up back his game. After all, the debate last night was not a debate but a reality show.

First there was no meeting with Canada. Than ok meeting nothing about NAFTA than more proof is given ok yes b ut it is corrected. He is a typical old time politian and lies with the best of them.just an example here but there are plenty more. Rezko and on and on

It is going through life doing things and makeing mistakes along the way to learn from.Hillary has made mistakes cause she is always doing so much. Obama sits back like the here vote and waits. He copies not only speeches but ideas and makes them his. Only a person that doesnt do anything is pure. hmmm you all think he is pure.

After last night's attempt by ABC at tabloid news, I will continue to turn them off. Shame on you Charlie Gibson!! I thought YOU were a better man than that.

As for the "screw 'em" comment, I also read that quote in a new book out by Sally Bedell Smith, "For Love of Politics". ANyone who is thinking about voting for Hillary should take the time to read this book.

I'd bet a lot of people across Pennsylvania are severely pissed this morning about having this Public Lynching take place in their state.Were there question's asked & answered last night? I think Not !

ABC will definitly take a hit in rating's ( as if they care), as will Charlie & george's shows.

Barack is standing tall this morning because he showed he's able to take punches from all angles & still come out as the better Man. No better vetting than a Public Lynching. What say You, voter's of Pennsylvania?

Bye Bye Hillary !

I read that most of Obama's supporters tend to admit Obama's own gaffes, yet Hillary's backers simply go on the attack because they knew they have nothing else to say to defend their candidate's questionable campaign tactics.

Hillary only cares for people when they have to do something for her, like vote for her. She is a wretched soul, who cares for no one but herself and her own personal ambitions. She will say and do anything to get there. What a great role model for our children. ( I speak as a teacher, as well.)

In addition to the "Screw them" comment,which I remember from that time, isn't there a picture of Hillary burning the American flag, or standing with people who are? How is that for patriotism? Someone needs to dig that up.

By the way, I didn't notice anyone on the stage wearing a flag pin.

Late Update: Baer, it turns out, is now chairman of Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates.

The most important thing that did shine through was how Obama is the real deal, wanting to unite this country beyond past differences in an effort to make this truly ONE nation under God. Bravo Obama for staying above the fray, although you could have easily mentioned her misguided loyalty to Bill even after he fiercly disrespected her directly and showed his disrespect of women on the whole.
