The smell of desperation emanates from the Clinton Camp, like I am downwind from a landfill.It is this kind of desperation to achieve the Presidency thathas led to the disillusionment of the American Voter. Anyone who wants the job SO DAMN BAD that they would consider sueing the Texas Democratic Party to change their primary and caucus rules; who wants to go against the National Party apparatus to get Michigan and Florida counted; who will fear monger by asking are your children safe; and now say that Obama MUST win in Texas to be considered viable - this is the stench of the Same Ole Political Crap. THIS is why I support Obama. THIS is why Hillary is falling behind. THIS is why Hillary is not the "right" woman to be the first woman President. You sense fear and loathing coming from both the Clinton and McCain teams because they see what Obama is capable of - inspiration, integrity, and cross-party unity. They should not be afraid - they should WELCOME it, because we have not seen the like of it in a very, VERY long time. It has been TOO long. And it is about time.

Truly sad and yet predictable. Was everyone sleeping through the Clinton years? Didn't see this then? Didn't see it coming now? Why not? Intellectually robbed by the Low IQ genie at birth? Of course that must say these things, the tragedy is, their "helpful fools" will continue to believe them. Their inane nonsense plays into the hands of McCain et al., believe me they love it. God please, end this national torture this Tues. I can't wait to see them both off the stage forever. It really has been like a bad dream.......

If Hillary wants to set the bars for herself and change them then thats fine its her choice. But I have a problem with her setting the bar for Obama. I'm sorry but who does she think she is: Let me recap she has lost 10 in a row by 33 points on average. Her message is schizophrenic and changes from one day to the next. She is having difficulites connecting with voters. She is insulting red state democrats she is insulting caucases she wants to seat ghost delegates. So remind me again what exactly qualifies her to decide on what bar to set for Obama. Those new polls that have Obama up by 6 in Texas and pulling within 2 in Ohio must really have sent her into a tizzy.

Since we are taking about democratic doubts lets remind Senator Clinton of something she was up by 20 points in most of these states when Obama start campaigning in those states her numbers start plummetting faster than 500 pound statue out of a100 floor building so were the democrats having doubts about her then.

You know, I started kicking myself when I realized what was really going on. Don't know why I hadn't put it together before a few weeks ago. All that time the word was put out there that the primary and caucus contests were being pushed up on the calendar in order to "decide the nominee" early so as to give more time to pursue the national race. But it wasn't in order to decide "the nominee," it was to decide on Hillary as the nominee since Clinton and Clinton faithfuls have been running the party more or less for the past 16 years.

Oops.

Spin must be just a little plausible in order to present itself as a viable narrative that makes sense of the data. LIke a pathetic product commercial, this sort of spin makes one shake one's head and try to imagine what was so bad that IT got left on the cutting room floor instead of what's being served up.

I tire with this stale hug.Hillary keeps shifting the goal-post and the stupid hispanics and grannies let her go on.

Hillary was duped by Bush & republicans.Once duped always will be duped!!!.

She claims she is ready on day one but when asked to respond to one scenerio of Iraq collapsing as a direct result of US-withdrawal,she reaverted to dodging the question as hypethetical!!!.But being involves answering hypotheticals and I find her mentally and intellectually stale!!!.
