Will this happen? No. However, SOME will indeed jump ship and even more will not show up to vote as a result of disillusionment. As of now, it appears that McCain is in the driver's seat.  But November is a long way from here and Americans have very short memories. That written, I have to submit that I'm not sure the democratic party could have done more to harm their presidential bid than they have.  If I were a betting man, I'd bet on McCain.  But I voted for Memphis to win the tournament, and Lord knows how in the world that will turn out. All I DO know is that NOBODY knows.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#276920Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:16:23 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:276920altatran<p>CNN = Money</p> <p>Clinton = Economy (for the better) </p> <p>McCain = Iraq (for 100 more years)</p> <p>Obama = Hope (for the better)</p> <p>Take your pick America.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#276943Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:27:52 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:276943bufordscot<p>Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7? </p> <p>We can only hope.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#276962Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:37:19 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:276962abbo<p>John Boy:</p> <p>Sorry, the front-runner for the nomination rarely steps aside.  It just kind of works that way.</p> <p>Clinton should end her pathetic attempt to claw away the nomination or bring the entire party down with her.  The only scenario in which she can win would be disastrous for the democratic party, and all but guarantee a McCain presidency.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#276977Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:43:26 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:276977democritus71<p>If only the media had been duly diligent in more thoroughly scrutinizing Sen Obama’s past months ago, instead of being mesmerized with his oratory flightiness, the Democratic party would not be in the situation it is now. The media, MSNBC in particular, engaged in a complete and utter abdication of its professional responsibility by not looking into Sen Obama’s church and his relationship to the pastor: if only the media had done its job, he would not have engineered nearly as much support as he did and Senator Clinton would have most likely already wrapped this thing up (she certainly would have carried CT, MO, and a few other states). There are now systematic and continuous efforts by MSNBC, by its choice of words and selection of exposure, to ENABLE the Sen to jump start his campaign (by ripping, Pavlovian style, on everything Clinton as “Clintonian”). MSNBC has soiled hands and its on-going failure of nerve says more about its agenda and its pop, pseudo-journalism than it does about any of the candidates.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#276978Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:43:30 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:276978electxyz<p>Media is focusing too much on Clinton-OUT.

And I don't think that will happen with the regular delegates. I admit I'm a little fuzzy on the rules for the superdelegates. But I don't think they'll all be spoken for before the convention. </p> <p>Then there is the convention question of the delegates from MI & FL. So Hillary still has a few life savers out there to include PA. Another thing that will help Hillary is the Jeremiah Wright connection to Obama. She's already played that card. That should help her in the remaining primaries.

Even if she loses North Carolina AND  Indiana (which I doubt she will) I think she should stay in the race. In fact I think she has something of an obligation to all the millions of us who have voted for her so far not to drop out unless she has a really good reason. And I think Obama is unelectable, so for the Democratic party's sake, I hope she wins.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277049Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:10:52 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277049onward_ever<p>It does seem that Obama peaked way too early, but Hillary is a Clinton and that family's ability for corruption and scandal DID lead to the first-ever impeachment of an elected president.  The tide has turned on the democrats and they are going to very much need Republicans to stay home election night out of lack of interest.  Bush has been in the White House for eight years and republicans, although most don't think the president is corrupt, have been turned off by his years in office.  The motivation to get out the vote isn't entirely there. It can be likened to Carter.  Most democrats will tell you they think Carter was an ok guy, but he wasn't good for the party.  The only thing that will get Republicans out to vote is the possibility of a Clinton in the White House. </p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277068Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:19:05 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277068Northern Neighbor<p>Think of  what would happen if Hillary stays in and won with just one single delegate more than Obama!!

In saying this, I must say that while it is good to be optimistic, sometimes one has to put away his ego and face reality. moreover, although the maxim goes, 'a winner is not a quitter and a quitter is not a winner'  one has to weight in he costs and benefits of keeping a fight alive. I believe in Hilary and I lover her very much but I think it would be more honourable of her to give up her candidacy at this point in time. I see no point in keeping this race when the costs are very dear to the democratic party, a party she and her opponent belong too. Secondly, the differences between her and her opponent are so small that to keep this fight going is a disgrace. It would have been wiser for her to strike a deal with him in a joint candidacy and go after the republicans. Keeping this infighting within the democratic party is likely to potray the democrats as retarded power hungry people.   </p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277140Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:54:32 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277140aerohead<p>In regards to what "drjunea" wrote. I understand you don't like Obama. And I assume you are a Democrat or at least not a Republican if you are voting for Hilary. My concern is, is you would put a Republican in office and continue to put this country is a downward spiral just because someone you don't like wins the party's nomination. Voting isn't just a privilage many fought and died for. A Dem is better than a Rep any day. Especially right now. Please rethink your decision. A vote for McCain is certainly a vote for the complete demise of The United States of America. If you don't want McCain to be President, vote for the other nominee. Swallow your pride so this country can get back on it's feet again. </p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277145Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:56:24 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277145hallihunt<p>Why does the media keep pushing the idea that Clinton should get out? After the brief confrontation of scrutiny Obama received in the past month, his momentum is gone. His ability to reach beyond conventional liberal democrats has hit a dead end and many who have already voted are feeling "voters remorse" now that his associations with Rev. Wright and Rezko have been revealed, along with the knowledge that his "words" don't match his actions. Clinton has a much better chance of beating McCain in November. Democrats who truly want change need to realize that Clinton is the better option. </p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277153Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:59:22 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277153realpages<p>Even if he is the party's nominee, I will not vote take even the slightest chance that I am voting for a secret black racist.

If Obama had lost the last 10 states, was down in the popular vote, behind in delegates--do you think he would even be in race still? If being Bill's wife counts as  "experience" towards becoming president, then I have enough experience to be a nurse because that's what my wife is. If Bill had invited her into the oval office she would had known about Monica sooner.

While I'm disturbed by Mrs. Clinton's scorthed earth approach to this election, I would defend her right to continue but anyone who truly believes in the values that democrates prefess then I would question her loyalty to the party. It seems that her plan is destroy Obama as an abuser would try to try to distroy an ex-spouse or lover ( If I can't have the nomination, I'll make sure that whoever does will surely lose in the general election so I can say "I told you so" and I 'll run again in four years instead of eight). This is not the behavior of a mature stable woman, this is the desparate acts of one who feels that they are entitled to the highest office in our land. Long have conservatives accused minorities of race of feeling entitled, what an interesting twist that it's not the racial minority that has these feelings of entitlement. I voted for a Clinton twice but I'll never vote for one again. I look forward a person of character being in the White House. I'm proud to vote for such a man that's happens to be of African American descent.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277276Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:58:29 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277276Aidan<p>Barack Obama, the next President of the great U.S. of A!</p> <p>I love the soumd of it !</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277282Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:01:44 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277282Hewhoknows<p>(If I can't have the nomination, I'll make sure that whoever does will surely lose in the general election so I can say "I told you so" and I 'll run again in four years instead of eight)- this seems to be Senator Clinton's strategy.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277284Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:03:18 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277284olandug<p>Actions speak better than words.</p> <p>Mr Obama choose Mr. Wright as his spiritual teacher for 20 years and included Mr. Wright in his election staff, these are the actions of Mr. Obama.   When shocking hate messages began to flow from the mouth of Mr. Wright on television, hyperbole spin was written for Mr. Obama distancing Mr. Obama from Mr. Wright.    The weird thing is, some people actually believe the spin written by Mr. Obama’s election machine.  But regardless what Mr. Obama says, he chose Mr. Wright as his spiritual teacher for 20 years and added Mr. Wright to his election staff.   </p> <p>If you make the choice to listen and learn from Hitler every week over 20 years, do you expect me or any other rational being to believe that you wouldn’t be or want to be influenced by Hitler’s ideas?   And what does that say of your personal integrity if you chose American hating Mr. Wright, or Mr. Hitler as your guide in life?</p> <p>And also consider recent announcement that the chief of the firm involved in the State Department’s passport breach is one of Obama’s adviser.  And that Obama has been caught lying about Rezko, regarding the amount of money Rezko gave him, and that Obama still hasn’t come clean about his Rezko land deal.   Or further, how Mrs. Obama makes a phenomenal $317.000 a month at a hospital in Chicago that is famous for turning away the poor, especially the black poor.  </p> <p>If Obama were to become president, what would stop Mr. Obama from appointing Mr. Wright to his cabinet?    And after Mr. Wright’s appointment, if anyone complained they would be called racist.   And it seems as if this strategy - that it is racist to criticize a black man - is already in effect as Mr. Obama can do anything corrupt with minimal impunity by the public or the press.  But if Hillary so much as sneezes, she is taken through the laundry and hung out to dry and then beaten some more.  Such bias treatment towards Mr. Obama because of his race is racial discrimination.  And I believe another reason why Mrs. Clinton is unfairly criticized to such an extreme is because a handful of powerful   men in the media can’t stand the idea of a woman for president – likely a libido thing. </p> <p>We should have as our country’s leader someone with wisdom and knowledge, whose goal is the selfless betterment of the world. We should not elect someone with a personal agenda of personal power or select them because of the fashionably of their race or the preference for a gender. </p> <p>Obama is not old enough or experienced enough to take on the role of the president, and if had simple wisdom, instead of a misguided desire for power, he would know this.  </p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277286Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:04:46 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277286kshortSD<p>Okay, so the latest news is that Hillary points out today that the pledged delegates are not required to vote for who their voters selected.  That's really great.  Thanks, Hillary.  So on the one hand, she cries that the voters in Michigan and Florida aren't going to be heard, then she says, "Well, the delegates aren't obligated to vote based on the voters."  Which is it, Hillary??  Do the votes of the people count or not??  She is making a joke out of this whole process, and the DNC needs to put a stop to it immediately.</p> <p>I didn't even mention how she casually mentions that Obama has only won states that don't matter.  God help us...</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277298Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:17:53 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277298Hewhoknows<p>Olandug! whoa talking about a stretch !

Some may be rich enough, Trump, Gates, etc...  Remember everything in this economy has a snow ball effect.  Things haven't gotten bad enough yet to see what could really happen to this country.  And Republicans want us to fear that a terrorist could come here to get us....Right!!!</p> <p>Didn't you're mother ever teach you don't judge a book by its cover.  If some of you people on here would take the time to listen to Obama maybe you'd learn something.  This is definitely the most intelligent person of the three.  As far as his so called lack of experience that some are worried about.  He is experienced enough and no less experienced than some of the other presidents in the past.  His judgment, tact, and ability to handle any situation makes up for any so called lack of experience that some of you feel he has.  </p> <p>If a situation occurred with another country and I had to ask myself who of the three candidates I'd want to handle the problem....Thumbs up to Obama.   Hillary would just tell a lie and McCain wouldn't be able to keep the facts straight.  McCain thinks the Iranians are al-Queda....And he's going to be President.  Scary!!!</p> <p>P.S.   If you're not making 6 digits you're not rich enough to vote Republican; you're just stupid.  The rich and the government do not care about you.    All most of them care about is their own agenda.  </p> <p>Pay close attention and listen to the three candidates.  Ask yourself of the three who's less likely to put you in harms way (the gov't will sacrifice your child in war but not theirs) and who's most likely to be upfront and honest with you.  Don't judge them on other people’s flaws.  Obama can't be responsible for Rev Wright’s comments any more than Hillary can for Bills.   However, Hillary has told more than little white lies.   The sniper-fire in Bosnia is a big deal if she's holding Obama responsible for Rev. Wright's comments.  Hillary said that Obama claims words matter.  She's holding Obama responsible for the Rev.'s words, yet she says her words on Bosnia were just a mistake.  People make mistakes all the time.   Maybe Rev. Wright made a mistake in the heat of a sermon.  It's just a mistake....Who cares!!  Get over it!!!</p> <p>Signed:  Professional White (since it matters) American Female for the most intelligent candidate running…..

I think you are in another World...</p> <p>I don't think sitting in a church for 20 yrs and listening to Anti American and racist statements shows good judgment.  I don't give a damn what his preacher said, he has a first amendment that gives him that right.... HOWEVER, I do care about Obamas bad judgement to sit there for 20 yrs to hear that crap!   You know it's amazing to think that even OPRAH (who also attended that church way back) had enough good judgement to leave it!  </p> <p>I also think some of you should go to Utube and look at the video of him in Iowa on stage with Richardson and Clinton...

LOL   I didn't see Hillary or McCain on vacation and McCain has already finished his primary season.   You know hard work and dedication are still very admirable virtues!   I think he's the proverbial pot calling the kettle black when saying Clinton feels she's entitled to be President.  At least she was hard at work to achieve that goal the past 5 days.   We already have someone in the White House that likes to take vacations when the going gets tough and we don't need another one!</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#277545Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:14:36 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:277545Scott-ArlingtonVA<p>I think  Bullwinkle needs to go to FactCheck to see all the postings on there that make Mr. Obama just as guilty if not more with the embellishing and lying about things.  Every day there are more postings..... and now his book is being called into play as some of the things he wrote about couldn't have happened based on the time line he gave in it.   AMAZING!   A man who is full of hope and promise  but no real way to achieve it but giving fancy speeches to razzle dazzle the silly ass left wingers of the party.    I find it amazing how we have to go back to 1996 for a news story about Hillary... and if you read her book this exact event is talked about in there and the outcome given in the book matches what really happened... even the press is in agreement on that one.   I also ind it incredibly silly to promote a candidate in this party who hasn't even been vetted at all..... I mean how come it has just come to light in the past few weeks that maybe there are question marks surrounding him?  LOL   He's listed as a witness to possibly appear at the Renzo trial... I'm hoping this happens soon.... would love to see the outcome to that issue.   I hear from Chicago lawyer friends of mine that the case is about to expose a lot more about some business dealings that involve Mr. Obama.   Favors he did for Renzo that he claimed never happened....  should be interesting to sit back and watch the GOP analyze all of this....

Wright matter, by the way the very Rev. Wright that they Invited to the White House.  Then they sent out Sen.

The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."</p> <p>After calling Jesus's crucifixion "a public lynching Italian style" executed in "Apartheid Rome," he goes on to claim that white supremicists run the U.S. government:</p> <p>"The government runs everything from the White House to the schoolhouse, from the Capitol to the Klan, white supremacy is clearly in charge, but Asa, like Jesus, refused to be defined by an oppressive government because Asa got his identity from an Omnipotent God."</p> <p>All this was written before his friend and former parishoner vaulted to the front of the Democratic pack -- and before Obama denounced his previous comments on race, AIDS, etc.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278037Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:41:03 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278037lamm01<p>Drop out???  No Way'''''''  I say stand to the end....

If she and the Clinton friends force her nomination at all cost, she will lose the election. Why: The Bosnia comment.</p> <p>You can see the GOP playing those tapes through out the election, and Hilary already is not the most likable of people to win affection and sympathy, as her do or die fight in the primaries will very likely erode public empathy. Her words are empty against the Bosnian tapes and that is credibility put paid to. I started out backing Hilary, but now like Bill Richardson said it's time to be more open minded about the other candidate.</p> <p>Of course she didn't mispoke, she lied. Misspeaking will be like saying November instead of December. The human memory has a way a clearly remembering happy and traumatic experiences and Hilary is no exception sorry.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278052Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:56:36 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278052poggiali13<p>I can see the good in both of the candidates.  Hillary is my choice, she really cares and because of her ambition she will do an excellent job as the next president because she had to work so hard to get the nomination.  I don't know how the media and the democratic party can call for hillary to drop out when half of the registered democrats have voted for her.  I guess Howard Dean has made his choice.  I think that he should be impeached.  What about Michigan and Florida?  Is this a 48 state race?  and by the way I am an Italian American and my nose does not have garlic on it.  My grandfather and father do eat a lot of garlic because #1 it tastes great and #2 a few cloves have great medicinal qualities.  I am not a racist and my family too contains all the colors of the world.  And I love Hillary</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278061Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:04:31 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278061poggiali13<p>Go Hillary - *** is the new black</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278069Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:09:58 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278069poggiali13<p>What makes all the obama supporters feel that they can say the he is the winner of this contest?  The game is not over and the overconfident Obamaites have already called the race along with the biased media.  Hillary may have misspoken about Bosnia, but Obama has misspoken a number of times.  According to him his mom and dad met at a civil rights rally.  Not True.  He was born because of this rally .  He wants people to believe that he came through the ranks of the housing projects and ghettos, when the truth is that he lived a very cushy and priveleged life.  </p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278073Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:11:24 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278073zhumindy<p>It's amazing to see such media bias. I strongly believe Obama is just a good political animal. Very few years he runs office. Do substance, plenty of words...And a lot of words are not his. He is so caculated. And media loves it. He reminds me of Chairman Mao in China. His tactics are almost a copy of Mao's tactics. </p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278175Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:46:54 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278175poggiali13<p>g</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278176Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:46:55 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278176poggiali13<p>g</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278333Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:17:01 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278333votenic<p>2008 Presidential Election Weekly Poll</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.votenic.com">http://www.votenic.com</a></p> <p>Last Week's Results Just Posted!</p> <p>New Video "America The Beautiful" Piano.</p> <p>Vote Weekly!!!</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278374Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:54:59 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278374yupik1<p>I can't believe there are so many short-sighted people out there who think Obama's a racist because of what Rev. Wright has said.  That's no different than saying the Clintons are really Republicans in disguise because Bill is good friends with George H.W. Bush (the dad).  Your prejudice really comes out when you make comments like that, and there's no place for that in America.  Sure you can pull out the Freedom of Speech excuse, but if you're looking from the outside in.  You're one American deriding another American for exercising their freedom of speech.  Which makes you a hypocrite.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#278400Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:11:10 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:278400austria2<p>Time is the enemy of Obama. That is why they want to stop the game before it end. It is like you paid a ticket to watch a ball game, then with 5 minutes left, they stopped the game and declared the leading team the winner. They justified it by saying the game was becoming physical and we did not want them to get hurt and bloodied. CHEATERS!</p> <p>I have paid my ticket(taxes) to watch this historical event till it is done. Now, they want to stop it before it end.

Her obsession to be President will outlive this election should Obama win the nomination. If he does win, he can expect not only zero support from the Clinton machine but probably active opposition. Hillary will begin her campaign to be the nominee in four years on day one after the convention. Her desire to see Obama fail will remind us all of the old saying 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'.  </p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#280200Fri, 28 Mar 2008 20:41:01 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:280200PulSamsara<p>Barack Obama for President of the UNITED States of America.</p> <p>Clinton supporters - An Obama Presidency will also work toward your greatest concerns.  They are quite valid and understood - and will join the list of all of OUR priorities.</p> Blog: Stumperre: Could Clinton Drop Out on May 7?http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/26/could-clinton-drop-out-on-may-7.aspx#294397Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:44:07 GMT544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:294397briguynv<p>Bullwinkle....I just now had the chance to come back and catch up on the postings here, and since you MISQUOTED me, I had to say something to it....just in case you come back to read!!  You said talking about ME: "Then, you want to go so far as to say when the man was in church and he wasn't because he "had to be?" </p> <p>I NEVER said THAT!!  I said he is a LIAR because he CLAIMS he has been a Christian for 17 (or sometimes 20) years ....the timing changes week to week....YET Wright BROUGHT him to Christianity 17 (or 20) years ago....which means HE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A CHRISTIAN HIS WHOLE LIFE!!!  Considering he IS older than 17 or 20 years!!!  Claiming that is a LIE!!</p> <p>Also, I said I find it VERY hard to believe that Obama had NO idea that Wright speaks and FEELS the way he does in those "select" sermons (which I am SURE there have been MORE of that WERE NOT FILMED OR RECORDED), if they are AS CLOSE AS OBAMA CLAIMS THEY ARE!!  He CLAIMS they are VERY, VERY close, and if they are THAT CLOSE, I DON'T believe Wright would NEVER have mentioned these things in the past, would NEVER have spoken to Obama about it, so again I BELIEVE he is LYING!!  I believe Obama probably HAD conversations with Wright, and COULD EVEN have told Wright, "I'll become President, and we'll FIX all this stuff you are talking about."  Obama is THAT ARROGANT!!  I NEVER said he "HAD TO BE" there....I said it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that he has NEVER heard this stuff before.....like a MILLION TO ONE in my opinion!!</p> <p>Also, to some others, the reason I believe Obama is a "racist" is because of the fact that he USES the fact that he is black to get the black votes, but when someone CALLS him on that FACT, he cries RACISM, cries foul, cries "bad politics"....yet he has NO problem doing the SAME kind of stuff!!  Since it is STATING FACTS, considering ALL polls say MORE black voters have voted this year by HUGE percentages, than ANY other year, IT IS NOT RACISM TO SAY IT!  IT IS A PLAIN FACT  But it IS racist on HIS part to DENY it and claim it HURTS him!!  But then he USES it for his advantage!!!  I think the comments he has made about his "white grandmother" are also racist!!</p> <p>I also believe Michelle is UNpatriotic and arrogant, and believes she is BETTER than everyone else!!  She is too high & mighty!!  Neither of these people have ANY place in the White House!  I don't TRUST either one AT ALL!!!!</p> <p>And as for Hillary's "LIE".....As one of the newscasters said on one show, "I am SURE that with as MANY trips like this that Hillary has taken, AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE OTHER TRIPS MOST LIKELY DID ARRIVE UNDER FIRE, she MAY have just confused which trip!"  I didn't say that, some news guy did, I just didn't pay attention to his name....but I agree with it!!</p> <p>And even if she DID lie!  It was about ONE moment, THAT DOES NOT AFFECT HER AT ALL!  Obama's MANY LIES AFFECT the type of UPBRINGING he has had, the TYPE OF LIFE he has LED!!  Sorry, his MANY LIES outweigh this ONE slip of Hillary's!  And I STILL don't even think her's WAS a lie....but that is MY opinion!!</p> <p>I just know that the current POLLS show that if Obama runs against McCain, then McCain will win!  People are WAKING UP AND REALIZING OBAMA IS NOT WHAT HE CLAIMS HE IS!!  HE IS A FRAUD!</p> <p>If Clinton runs against McCain, Clinton has a VERY GOOD chance to WIN!!  So all those Democrats out there pulling for Obama need to REALIZE...if you WANT a GOOD, STRONG DEMOCRAT in the White House, then it NEEDS to be Hillary!!  If you want another BUSH...then vote for Obama, or McCain....either way has the SAME outcome!</p> Blog: Stumper
