Clinton continues to tout electability

TD — Thu, 08 May 2008 18:02:24 GMT

Hope my comments get posted because they haven't been to this point.

"I have a much more broader base… hardworking white Americans…and these are the people you need to win the election, everybody knows that".
How is that not racist? Everbody like who… her campaign and her supports? Everbody that matters to her?
Hardworking non-whites don't count because their votes are not significant? Senator Obama's wins don't count, because of the large number of non-white votes he received? The votes casted for Senator Obama by whites doesn't count because they are not hardworking or because they don't support her? First small states didn't count, then caucauses didn't count, and now non-white voters don't count.
Yes, she's won larger percentages of white voters than Senator Obama in the last few states that have voted, but she's still not ahead. Senator Obama has received a lot of white and non-white votes in every state. Her arguments are flawed and insulting. Anyone who suggests that Senator Obama is racist because he won 90% of the black vote in South Carolina, or suggest that all blacks who vote for Senator Obama are racist are clueless. Senator Obama understands that he needs votes from all segments of the population and he has not dismissed any of his voters. Blacks only account for approximately 12% of the national population. I’m black and I voted for President Clinton twice. Now I’m being labeled a racist because I voted for Obama. That’s ridiculous and insulting.
If Senator Obama had said such a thing he would've been tarred and feathered by the media and the Democratic Party. White voters would have certainly been outraged, and rightfully so, if Senator Obama had said that only hardworking non-white voters are important, or white female votes don’t matter.
All votes count…no matter who casts them. No one group of people is more important than another group of people. Her statements reinforce racism and says to racists that it's okay to be racist…, that is if you’re a white racist. Her statements imply that the votes of people who have not voted for her don't actually count. Her statements scream look at my votes, look who has voted for me because they are the only votes that matter. Her statements are a smack in the face to the non-white voters that have supported her throughout her campaign and the white voters who have not supported her campaign. She acts as if she is entitled to the presidency and anyone who does not agree with her be dam-ed.
Senator Clinton is DISGRACEFUL. She owes the American people an apology for her statements.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,

Contrary to what you may believe. YOU CANNOT WIN. Also contrary to what you may believe, WE DO NOT OWE THIS ELECTION TO YOU. You are far too polarizing to ever even THINK about winning a general election.

Besides, you stayed with your husband, who has cheated on you more times than you can possibly imagine. What does that say about your judgment?

Sincerely,

How many more "tests" is she going to need to pass? This is bordering on insanity. She touts the will of the people but she is behind in every level popular vote and including both Florida adn Michagin and in the delegate counts. By her reasoning all those voters should be "disenfranchised" because she wants to be president.

The superdelegates need to step up now and finish this once and for all. There is a presupmtive candidate, Obama, but they are all afraid of hurting her and her followers. Keep this up and more people will switch to the dark side.

Jo Austin, Freehold, NJ — Thu, 08 May 2008 18:11:29 GMT

Wow, this is really sad. In light of her earlier statement that she has the uneducated white American vote and that shows she's more electable, she is now saying West Virginia (my home state) is a "test" for both her and Obama. I can just see her telling her staff, "See, I'll show them that a state that doesn't have so many African Americans will go for me, not him." Is this the divisive message she wants to throw in everyone's face rather than unite the party and ultimately the country?

Also noted that she was speaking to a "small crowd" and has not received the endorsement of the Governor or First Lady standing there with her.

Speaking as a well-educated white native West Virginian who supports Obama for his positive message of hope and unity, simply put...please stop this. Don't let this become your legacy.

I must now assume that she just doesn't know how to campaign with grace or at least not being negative. It can also be determined that this is how she would have attempted to govern. It is time for her to go now. There is no "test" left for you and Sen. Obama because he along with a majority of the voters have already defeated you. Now is the time for unity and leadership but it appears that Sen. Clinton is incapable of either. It's time Supers, it's time.

Watching Michelle, and Barack, ascend the stairs to the podium Tuesday night, I was struck by their extraordinary marriage.

Both of them are highly intelligent, ethical, hardworking, and above all courageous.

I am impressed with them, and am so excited at the thought of having them as the first couple.

Michelle, in her tangerine colored frock, and Barack clutching her waist, were a vision of loveliness, and strength which invokes a breath of fresh air we have not seen in a Presidential couple in decades.

Uhhh... No, it's not: he has more delegates and votes, you can't catch up, so you lose. It's really quite simple. And what, exactly, is VA going to be a "test" of? She will win it by a large amount - everyone already knows that. And everyone has already factored a VA victory into the "complicated" math. You still lose! Guess what? You'll win KY big too. And you'll still lose. We have already added those numbers into the equation, it matters not.

She is NOT going to win, so really all that's left is her reputation and how she will be remembered. And quite frankly, she is making a fool of herself at this point.

Russ Elba,NY — Thu, 08 May 2008 18:16:23 GMT

Its this sort of parsing, recasting of facts, and dismissal of the rules that causes me to dread another Clinton presidency. Nothing that she's said lately gives me confidence that Senator Clinton wants to win for any reason greater than because she sees a victory as assuring her place in history will be equal to her husband's. The gas tax 'holiday' charade is undeniable evidence of her disdain for the intelligence of the voters she courts. Her strategy at this point seems to be to continue with the campaign in order to split the Democratic party sufficiently to allow a running start for John McCain, a candidate who would be mostly a place-holder in any other election cycle. Her actions, statements, and management during this campaign speak poorly of her possible Presidency. Squandering an enormous lead in the polls, in financing, in name-recognition, political connections, influence, etc., only to selfishly prolong her party's (if she still feels allegiance to it) chance at recapturing the White House shows her to be so self-absorbed as to make her unfit to be President.

We don't need a female G W.

Clinton continues to tout electability

Lisa, New Britain, CT CT for Obama — Thu, 08 May 2008 18:16:24 GMT

If she is still hinging her argument on electability based on poll results and/or primary wins, then she is basing her electability on nothing that is particularly relevant to the General Election. Polls change with the wind and certainly aren't relevant six months prior to the election (if you looked at polls six months ago, they would tell you a very different story about this primary season). Even polls taken a few days ago were very wrong in Indiana and North Carolina. You would overturn the process for that?

And similar arguments on using primary results to pick general election ones. Does she think we're stupid, does she think the superdelegates are stupid. Honestly...she is making herself look desparate by rehashing these same arguments.

One wonders if needing to raise funds to pay of enormous campaign debt is an issue here...I'm just not sure this isn't a compelling reason she's continuing at this point. I think this has become a legitimate issue. Every day she stays in (and opens her mouth with some of these arguments) she risks dividing the Party a little more.

Obama for our best future.

So in other words, she is winning the so-called swing voters, while he is winning the (black) voters that she could just take for granted if she is the nominee. Just because blacks have historically voted Democrat doesn't mean she can just take them for granted, especially if she and the party elders push him aside because they think she's more electable because she wins white voters. That's essentially saying that white votes in the primaries count more than black votes, and as a white person I am mad as hell about that.

Obama isn't getting the black vote because he's black (if you remember, Hillary had the majority of black votes not too long ago, and Obama was black back then). He is getting the black vote because the Clinton campaign has been so ridiculously disrespectful to a group that has supported them through thick and thin. It's not about voting for Obama because he's black, many are voting for Obama because he is not Hillary.

Even IF Michigan and Florida votes are counted, you still LOSE! You won by default in Michigan. Even Florida, 33% voted, against YOU, even though they knew their votes didn't count. You only won 48% of the vote in Florida. In Michigan, you were the only one on the ballot, Obama wasn't, and STILL only got 55% of the vote, where 42% voted UNCOMMITTED against you.

And if Michigan and Florida votes are counted, he STILL Wins by 100,000 votes. So get over yourself, the FAT LADY has sung!

I think Hillary is suffering from Tanya Harding syndrome, she is waiting in the wings to knee cap Obama. She reminds me of thise movie ,The Prestige. She feels she has to break bones to get what she wants.This is my very own electablity arguement.
Hillary if you are so electable,
Why do you keep running out of money ? Where are your managing skills?
Why did you allow your husband and your surrogates to interject race into this campaign ?
Why did you not prepare past Super Tuesday?
Why do you treat your constituants like children using George Bush style talking points?
Why could you not be Hillary Clinton?Why did you keep coming up with those silly charaterizations of yourself? Why dont you understand that you could not win against somebody that did not even try to bring the skelotons out of your closet?Dont you understand that when the Republicans would get a hold of you that they have a laundry list a mile long ? That they only courted you to attract you into their snare? Hillary dont you have even the slightest sense of reality? Cant you understand that not all voters like your WCW style talking? Cant you understand that we are not all fools that believe that a couple that makes over $130 million in 7 years is not middle class. That you dont have a gun rack in the back window of your pick up limo. That all middle class blue collar worker is not white ? That trying to continue the arguement of electabilty at this point is becoming more increasingly arrogant at best and racist at least? Why why why dont you understand that it was not just the Black vote and the students and the white elite? No it was the military families as well Hillary . Dont you realize that the only reason you are still a float in this race is because Repbulicans voted for you because they no that a vote for Hillary will rally all of the conservatives that dislike McBush to battle you. That your name and Bills in Republican house hold is behind most dart boards. That in Democrat homes we dont have you and Bill next to our Jesus Picture that you are not the light of our party,just hope that you are not trying to be the death of it. To those Clinton fans that are willing to put aside our disagreements to take down the Republicans in the fall welcome. Let me make one thing clear if a miracle happens and Hillary wins this thing fair and square with out this electablity arguement. If she has a miracle to happen and pulls this race out without trying to drag down Obama. Hillary can count on me and my vote . If you want to sit in this blog and spout out angry racist things, I truly feel sorry for you and hope that you catch up with the world that is trying to leave people with your twisted views in the past where they belong. Things of our past.

NOT VOTING for someone because of skin color, IS being a racisit, because you won't support someone because of their race. The person voting for someone because they are black, isn't necessarily NOT voting for the white person because they are white. But when you WON'T VOTE for someone because of their race, it's racisim, pure and simple.

Think about what you say sometime, I think you will find that you are a racisit at heart. As a white man, all I can say is SHAME ON YOU PATTY!!!!

Patty, SD, CA

You're rantings become more racist and nonsensical by the day

if you studied the results from NC and IN, you would know that Obama is beating (and still gaining ground on) Clinton in every WHITE catagory except for over 70

you trying to make this 100% about race is sickening

Regarding electability: How is Senator Clinton more electable than the man who beat her fair and square?

This past Saturday there was a special election in Louisiana's 6th Congressional district. the Democratic
Candidate won despite Republican attack ads trying to link him with Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi.
This was in an extremely Republican district, in Republican hands since 1975. In fact the democrats have won handily in special elections in heavily Republican districts since 2006.

Prediction: Barring a disaster (read assassination)
Obama will win in November in a landslide.
McCain has "loser" tattooed on his forhead.
The debates this fall should be great fun!
The young, dynamic, articulate, Obama vs. the doddering McCain.
McCain will come across as an older crankier Bob
Dole, only with more Bile and fewer ideas.

She is truly sad. Kind of a Norma Desmond moment I would say. Dr. Dean, I'm ready for my close up :)

What is so messed up with her logic is that she continues to talk about Florida and Michigan. I feel sorry for the voters in that state that their state politicians screwed them over. The FACT that she pledged to remove her name from the ballot in MI and not campaign in FL because of the sanctions the DNC issues to the states for moving their election and then not removing her name from the ballot and claiming she won MI is a joke. It goes to show that she is someone with absolutely no integrity what so ever.

Patty,sd,ca,

Your hate must be very painful for you. It is also a surefire, (no pun intended), path to loser-ville.

I mean no harm, Patty. I hope you will overcome it someday.

Regardless of the fact that she receive 60% of the white votes, its also the same white votes that put Barack Obama on top, (regardless of how much money they make and how educated they are) there are not enough black people to seal the deal. Clinton and the media are trying their best to divide this country and disenfranchise other ethnic groups. African Americans are not racist for voting overwhelming for Obama, they just see a sense of pride in this man and his message is appealing, hopeful, and empowering to them. After all they have voted 90% for every democratic white man in the past and are part of the coalition why her husband won the presidency twice. Were they racist then? He may not be as experienced as Clinton and McCain, (they are a lot older than him; at the same time he has better judgment), but what have their experience gotten them? Voting for a war that killed over 4,000 soldiers and crippled our economy.

This country still has a long way to go with its racial division, and why should it improve when the media and the politicians are the biggest instigator pushing this division. The color of our skin does not matter, it's our soul that count, you turn us inside out and the only difference is our sex. I am from NY and when Hillary came here to run for senator, I felt the only reason was because NY is a wealthy and prosperous state. This woman is a deceiver and knows well how to manipulate people; she is only for herself, her husband and her child. I have never voted for her and will never vote for her and is not because I hate (which I don't) I just feel sorry for her. She has sold her soul to the devil and the Democratic Party to the republicans. She may have $109 mil but zero class. She tries to tear Obama apart, but as the saying goes, "the hotter the battle, the sweeter the victory" OBAMA HAS PREVAILED!

Hillary may god bless your soul, it's not too late to take it back from the devil!

Make sure to kick her when she's down. It's the American thing to do. Your candidate must be so proud to have your vote.

To the Obama people: I am a white guy who usually votes with the republicans. Not because Im a racist or because I hate the democrats. I vote with the republicans because they have always been more conservative than your party. I don't call your candidate names or disrespect them because I disagree with their views, I understand that this is a democracy and the majority get their way. Sometimes you can be part of a very large minority 49.99999% who gets overruled. You just have to accept it and move on. If your candidate does'nt win in November, It will be because of people like me who voted for McCain. I was initially leaning toward Obama, I liked what he said, and I still agree with many of his views. But he has made comments and done things that lead me to believe that he is an elitist. That he looks down on us working people and I can't get past that. I guess that I'm just a typical bitter white person who holds a gun in one hand and a bible in the other. Its too bad that he thinks this way. He would have made a good president.

Why is it that we who support Clinton, no matter what race- we get called racist. While 92% of blacks NOT voting for a white woman is not racist.

So sick of the hypocrisy the reverse racism and the race card.

Mrs. obama if you're not a proud American until you think you've got a shot at the power seat... GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY!! and take your fellow racists with you!!

Obama is the first serious black candidate and will therefore have a tough time winning a majority of the white male and white female vote against McCain.... I don't think Obama will be able to win the swing states to beat McCain

many will call this a racist statement... i call it reality

Obama can not sit back and hope Hillary will get out SHE WON'T. The spinless Super delegates won't tilt your way. You need to campaign in West Virginia asking for their vote. You will not win but you beat back the last vestige of her arguement that you are an elitist and can not appeal to blue collar voters. If you wait for it to happen double digit losses in KY and WV can sway the spinless super delegates to her argument. Fight back CAMPAIGN.
