McAuliffe: We Don't Need Tricky Michigan Math To Win

[mithrandel111]

Its funny that for all the "hillary supporters" there are and she couldnt raise enough money to found her campaign. That either says something about her supporters or her numbers.

[NestaCal]

I agree with the person who said that Hillary should form her own party. She should call it the Peoples Party. She would win. Shehas my vote and everyone that she got from the primarys +.

[miegaha]

obama 08

[honeycone1]

there will be a black cloud over the democrated party ppl who voted it wont even count

[slappy1234567]

OBAMA WAS SELECTED, NOT ELECTED

[micsc50]

When the PUNK speaks everybody listens.

[MojoJuana]

the math is as funny as this jerkbag's stupid looking shirt!

[leester64]

Hillary is fixed out of the nomination by the D-party!!!

She should consider forming her own party. She will win in a three way general election against Obama and McCain!!!

[laleeloolelo]

Are you kidding me Leester?

Her campaign is currently in 20 mil debt.

I think she can't go independent because she needs DNC money to help her.

[dustynbones]

RealClearPolitics

For popular vote status, hit the Polls tab, then hit the Popular Vote tab.

[jongo2142]

Look at that shirt!

[j0hnwi11iams]

This shit does nothing to win over those of us who KNOW BETTER. Nice going, fucktard.

[2025DPlaza]

Love yah, HILL.

[jellygraph]

why don't they challenge them on that bs?

[godlesspatriot]

this guy McAuliffe defines DOUCHEBAG

HE'S COMPLETELY TALKING OUT OF HIS ASS

while looking like an ass in his appropriated hawaiian shirt

[dustynbones]

See how McAuliffe talks past tense when it comes to Obama removing his name from the MI ticket, but doesn't talk past tense about Clinton breaking a promise and signed pledge not to campaign for votes in MI.

The whole entire MI election was unsanctioned and if you're going to apportion delegates then it might as well be a 50/50 split, or possibly make them all uncommitted.

Clinton made out on this one regardless if Obama took his name off of the ballet ... The election wasn't suppose to count.

[colster4life]

It has become fun to watch this biased goofball make such a fool of himself on TV!

[zed4785]

nice shirt terry

[matts720]

has terry done anything other than fail since he got the DNC head position?

he's the political version of isiah thomas, all he needs is to perfect the frozen look that isiah has on the bench.

[bootpdx]

Obama did not decide to take his name off the ballot in Michigan. President Obama and Hillary Clinton signed a pledge that their names would not appear on the ballot in Michigan. President Obama kept his word, Senator Clinton did not. Who do you want as your president?

[R0SEBUD789]

bootpdx, WRONG. All you had to do was listen to the RBC meeting Saturday to hear them say that there were no rules stating any of the candidates had to take their name off the ballot, they didn't sign something stating they would take their names off, and when a member asked Obama's representative "why" he took his name off, the man had no answer. It was talked about repeatedly that it was his choice, not required. Some say he miss-interpreted the agreement, but that was his mistake then.

[blessedchild2]

rosebud789

you again talking out of that your ass.your hillary is winning any state because the republicans are going out and voting for her.fix your ass and shut the fuck up.

[R0SEBUD789]

blessedchild, wow, such a lovely vocabulary you have, lol.

[blessedchild2]

rosebud789

thank you

[laleeloolelo]

Hey Rose you're still here?

[Hukeshy]

to appease michigan -.-

[bicyclethief]

McAuliffe is a glorified used-car salesman.

[R0SEBUD789]

McAuliffe is the energy drink, cheerleader, pep-talk guy I wish I had talking in my ear when I don't feel like dragging myself out of bed. The drug companies should study his brain and create an anti-depressant on their findings, lol.

[asdffd]

R0SEBUD789 = tiresome Republican troll pretending to be a concerned Hillary supporter. Your act is getting tiresome ROSEBUD. Don't you have a rerun of Rush Limbaugh to listen to?

[R0SEBUD789]

asdffd, I'll tell you what is getting tiresome is people on YouTube who don't know me calling me a Republican. Hahaha, I mean, considering I've been a card carrying Democrat since I turned 18 and have MSNBC on my TV all day, it's just ridonkulously annoying and makes you an assuming, lying arsehole.

[asdffd]

The small number of fanatical Hillary supporters, of which you are pretending to be, refuse to watch MSNBC any longer. They only watch Fox- kinda like you Republicans. Anyway, if this is how you get your kicks, pretending to be a female and a Hillary fanatic so be it. But to everyone else- don't waste your time formulating a serious response to this person. They are completely full of shit.

[newbreed1]

Obviously Terry's been drinking to much Puerto Rican rum...

[MooseOfReason]

In Michigan, it was Hillary, Uncommitted, and Kucinich.

[R0SEBUD789]

MooseOfReason, no, four stayed on, four took their names off. Chris Dodd, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, and Hillary Clinton left their names on. Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, John Edwards, and Obama took theirs off. So, Obama was given all of the votes that went to John Edwards, Richardson, and Biden. Granted, they would not add up to nearly as many as Obama's, but he still got delegates that didn't vote for him. That wasn't enough, though, he wanted some of Hillary's as well. lol

[MichaelConrad81]

Uh... is there some kind of law that states that Clinton boosters have to dress like tools?

First Wolfson and his "lucky sweater" and now this. We now have the 9,472nd reason to reject DLC candidates - They employ bad dressers.

[WadeBlazingame34]

Terry McAuliffe is the new Joe Izuzu.

[ruddypoo86]

Look at what he's wearing.

He's officially given up.

[R0SEBUD789]

ruddypoo86, isn't he in Puerto Rico and wearing the cutomary clothing? Did you make fun of Obama when he wore the garb in the African country he visited? I didn't.

[R0SEBUD789]

sorry for the typos, hehe. :)

[ruddypoo86]

He's wearing a Hawaiian shirt on a news show, i don't see the comparison with Obama wearing traditional african garb.

[R0SEBUD789]

Oh wow, that is so weird to wear his Puerto Rican clothes while being interviewed on TV. Never mind, I know it's fun to mock people you don't like. lol

[ruddypoo86]

Have you been to Puerto Rico? Are you telling me just because he's wearing clothes more suited for the beach, they're intrinsically Puerto Rican?

Meh.

[R0SEBUD789]

ruddypoo86, are you telling me that the fact that the campaign won the election in Puerto Rico yesterday, you can't imagine Terry would be wearing one of their shirts? Hillary wore similar patterns/shirts while she campaigned there. Is this argument really worth it to you and that interesting? Because I'm getting bored, lol.

[ruddypoo86]

I stopped caring 2 comments ago. Scratch that, i didn't ever care.

Stop annoying me!

[papichulo9022]

Puerto Rico has NO electoral college votes, ie. in the real presidential election, it doesn't matter which way Puerto Rico votes. Is like if mexico or idk spain voted for obama it would be nice to know they like him but it makes no difference in the REAL election against the republicans come on guys we all now is truth

[R0SEBUD789]

paichulo, that is so kind of you to offend the Puerto Rican American citizents, who get to vote in the primaries, but have their voices silenced in the general election. You just have to rub in how unimportant they are, dont you? Why, just to pump up Obama's popular vote count? How inconsiderate to our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico... as if having less federal rights isn't bad enough. tsk tsk. ;)

[R0SEBUD789]

*citizens*

[papichulo9022]

PART 1:you wana blame somebody blame puerto ricans where you think im from? i was born in san juan, Puerto Rico .you wana now whos responsible for not myselft and other BORIQUAS (native puertoricans) not getting a vote is not the american congress (like i tho all my life)is our own puerto rican that has deny legislation for 23 years now for PR to join the united state because of this dumb fake "Boricua PRIDE" that actually hurts my country insted of helping it.

[R0SEBUD789]

papichulo, oh okay, I hear you now. I see where you're coming from, I took your comment differently than you intended it. Thanks for your reply. :D

[papichulo9022]

ok im glad that you can understand were im coming from now

[R0SEBUD789]

:) Have a great day. :)

[jtilak]

i don't know if it was to "appease" anyone, but it was definitely a smart move to take his name off the ballot.

[michaelbook18]

delusional

[frellthat]

This is so disgraceful. She's just giving her supporters more reasons to hate Obama so she can run again in 2012.

[FeelFreeToArgue]

People may not like the delegate system but there's nothing you can do about that now. No one, I repeat, No one knows what the popular vote total is. You can't reverse engineer popular vote totals for the caucus states, it's just not a system for tabulating popular votes - period. So, if you truly care about respecting people's votes, Hillary, you absolutely must not make a popular vote argument. Every time she talks about the popular vote, she's crapping on every caucus state voter.

[boldseduction69]

UNDERSTAND THAT POINT. BUT WHEN YOU LOSE, YOU LOSE. HELL, I'LL SUPPORT HER IF HER ASS WAS WINNING. I SIMPLY WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK IN SHAPE. I MUST ADMITE, HOWEVER, HILLARY AND OBAMA ARE THE 2 STRONGEST CANDIDATES. PERIOD. THE OTHER 3 ARE LOONEY TUNES OUT FOR ATTENTION. THINK ABOUT THIS, THOUGH. Most of those cornballs don't like Hillary. They simply don't like Obama. Not because of his views that are simular to hers, but because of his african (not white) genetics. Feel, me my sista?

[boldseduction69]

Damn really didn't know Hillary's mind is this pathetic. And she is allowing her supporters to look just as stupid and bias as she does. Damn woman. Women today know they are equal, they have proven their and ability to succeed, not with your help, but with their mothers'. You fought like a man, now take your lost like a damn man. You are starting to look stupid now. Now strong, just simply screwed up in the head. You have worked to hard to gain that image. Hillary you SUCK!

[0613162k]

Well considering she just won Puerto Rico yesterday she has a valid reason for having earned the right to stay in. Whether you like it or not there are still people left that want their chance to vote for her win or lose and there's no need to be impatient with democracy. Over the last 12 primaries held, Hillary has won 6 of them and has gained more undisputed votes than Obama in the last 12 primaries when he's the suppossed front runner since Feb. Those who saw she has no support r in denial.

[laleeloolelo]

"Hillary has won 6 of them and has gained more undisputed votes than Obama in the last 12 primaries when he's the suppossed front runner since Feb."

How is that relevant?

The team that have HIGHER OVER ALL SCORES win not the team that scored higher during second half of the game.

[0613162k]

It's relevant because all those people who have been calling for her to drop out "for the sake of the part" refuse to recognise that the public still wanted to vote for her. Even if she doesn't win they should recognise how close this really was to the point where she was still winning states till the end against the frontrunner and that is a unique situation.

[laleeloolelo]

It's hardly unique.

Even after McCain become the republican nominee he still lost the remaining primaries (yes the primaries still held even after the nominee is chosen).

[freff]

Of course, he's lying. I know this because I saw his lips moving.

Currently, Clinton is ahead in the popular vote only if you count Michigan giving Obama 0 votes there *OR* you choose not to count caucus states that he won. In other words, if Hillary's voters count, but Obama's don't, then she won. That's their argument.

Not to mention that there is no such thing as a popular vote in the nomination process for exactly this reason. Other than that, Terry's on top of things.

[Bolgernow]

I can't wait till Tuesday so this turd hammock will shut the fuck up...

He's like a habitual lying spin machine. With each new day, we have another whopper...

"Even though neither offered it, Hillary gladly accepts the withdrawal of both Obama and McCain from the race, making her the next president of the United States! She also just accepted an offer from Xenu to be "Supreme Ruler of The Galactic Federation"; so she'll be formally acting in BOTH capacities"

[Richardgwm]

On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama will be sworn in as President, and Hillary will still be claiming she can win the nomination.

[vertigate]

I hope she runs again in 2012 against President Obama and loses her Senate seat. Wouldn't put it past her megalomaniac ass.

[JarHead0311SS]

Did you see the bags under his eyes??? He is obviously stressed and needs rest.

[vertigate]

I think it's now officially a waste of time to give these fruitcakes any more attention. Include the caucuses and Obama leads by over 1mill votes. Come Tuesday it will be even more.

Obama leads HRC nationally 54-41:

--> tinyurl . com / 5ewn6k

Obama leads HRC in CA 51-38:

--> tinyurl . com / 638lak

Doing just fine with white voters and favored 62-29 by Hispanics nationally over McCain (Gallup May19-25). HRC needs to take her broke ass to a shrink and CALM THE FUCK DOWN.

[eljefereal]

Side note: Terry's wrong.

I caught it during the lightning speed he was talking at.

(all numbers in relation to Clinton)

Terry's Spread (w/ Michigan): +257K

Terry's Michigan: +238K

Actual Michigan: +328K

Actual Spread (w/o Michigan): -71K

[asdffd]

Just read a AP article where Clinton is now trying to steal Obama's committed super delegates. She will not give up. I hate to say it, but I think the bitch is crazy!

[vertigate]

asdffd said: "I think the bitch is crazy!"

Could there be any doubt? I mean who else could glare and nod and cackle and point at people with the mouth agape as if she wanted to swallow a horse for 15 months. She's obsessed. Put her in a madhouse.

[vertigate]

She has the mental constitution of an 8 year old.

[DemonKnight86]

Clinton lost and she knows it

[asdffd]

SHAMELESS!

[asdffd]

I'm not sure what is more outrageous. His spin or that ridiculous fucking shirt.

[NationaIConservatism]

nice shirt terry haha

[givebirthathome]

Puerto Rico has NO electoral college votes, ie. in the real presidential election, it doesn't matter which way Puerto Rico votes.

[typhonsentra]

For the record, not counting Michigan nor the caucuses in Iowa, Maine, Washington, and Nevada leaves Obama ahead by over 20k. McAuliffe was clearly still working under the assumption that PR turnout would be much higher as the media earlier predicted. Even the lowest prediction I heard of 400k missed the mark.

[rahgz]

Hillary seems to have stumbled on to something, If you convince the populace that you've won, you've won,

Kinda like bush I guess,

[Keyekebero]

one big fat lie. Without Michigan Obama leads by 130000 votes.

[steve287287]

So sad that some Hillary supporters would go for McCain. How could that be, there is so much at stake, it's just insain just like how this whole primary has been. I think Obama is a good choice for something different, but if he lost the primary I would still vote democrat, & Hillary, thought I think the need for another Clinton has much to question. How some of hill's supporters threaten to cross over to republican is just vindictive & mean if not plain racist. Explain it to me, please

[UGOTDAJACK]

what the hell are you talking about? Everyone knew Hillary was going to win in Puerto Rico including Obama. You Hillary supporters sound more weird with everyday that passes by.

[jekyllmcgee]

mcauliffe doesn't want to lose his job, but he's lost all reason. even if obama conceded the uncommitted delegates from michigan (as he's not only the people's choice but also a nice guy), radical clintonites would still be upset and threatening to use the voting booth as a stage for their digusting twisted soap opera.

[gallomex13]

Not following the rules and agreements, just another republican tactic the Hillary campaign adopted.

[alwaysending]

I think it's hilarious! Hell Obama made SUCH a big deal outta how he was going to win Puerto Rico, with all those "minorities" how could he loose? BUT NOOOOO!!!! Clinton wiped the floor with his ass, LMFAO! He won't get the "avg white people" vote or the minority! LMFAO! Obamanics, prepare to LOSE!

[PharaohNineD]

Take a deep breath and accept reality.

[eljefereal]

??? ??? ???

When did he ever talk about Puerto Rico?

Yes he has a problem with Latinos. Not Blacks.

Oh, and whose fault will it be if he doesn't get the 'avg white people' vote? Hillary's!

[laleeloolelo]

Hey Alwayending how's that "multi million dollar company" your dad runs doing huh?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHA.

[alwaysending]

Its doing GREAT! I'm getting a paid vacation to Destin, FL at the Sandestin Hilton hotel next week! Thanks for asking, douchebag

AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAH

[laleeloolelo]

Did you get there by unicorn?

Or the magical tax cut fairy?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHA.

[alwaysending]

Did I get there? Did you just learn how to read jackass?

I stated I was GOING to Fl next week retard. How about learning how to read first before you respond with your ridiculus ill-thought comments

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[laleeloolelo]

"I stated I was GOING to Fl next week retard."

Oh pardon me.

I must have missed that crucial part of the comment.

Because i'm so happy of Obama's flood of SDs and the current Gallup poll that shows him ahead of McCain.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHA.

[alwaysending]

do you even LIVE in the US?

You REALLY think that Obama will get the nomination? He's a piece of shit, divisive, racist, who has NO REAL PLANS to solve anything.

btw, since you were trying to "dog" me out on the trip, I would say that is a crucial part of the comment. but then again, you liberal cocksuckers just choose to look over the CRUCIAL parts of ANYTHING in life. Like how ALOT of Clinton's supporters would rather have McCain than Obama in office, especially after all this!

HAHAHAHAHA

[laleeloolelo]

Uh you do know that i put where i live in my YT bio right?

How's that for looking over crucial part of information huh?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway according to Survey USA lots of HRC voters in California (most actually) are having buyers remorse.

And based on her debt to small vendors in other state i'm sure California is not the only one.

So i'm not worry about those Clinton supporters.

[vking84]

Its sad that you have this much anger and resentment built up inside of you...and you try to disguise your frustration through humor....GET A FUCKING LIFE....

OBAMA 08

[hypnofan35]

It is amazing how these people can lie so characteristically easy. I think they must go to "brainwasher" conditioning. Or maybe they are just naturally that way. Hillary has told so many whoppers than i would tend not to believe her if she said it was cold at the North pole.

[papichulo9022]

i really dislike that guy

[LazarusDurden]

No way!  Terry is awesome! He is super entertaining way of defending Clinton no matter how absurd. This guy should have his own sitcom.

On a serious note I feel a little sorry for him. Man he looks tired and depressed at the start of this clip. I bet inside he's hoping Hillary Spring Break '08 will be over soon with that shirt he's wearing.

[idiotwind75]

terry is well taken care of - no need to pity him - he is a god among men.

[LazarusDurden]

A God among men huh? He kind of reminds me of that die hard fan who still thinks their crappy team has a shot at the Superbowl. "I'm tellin' ya man! It's the Lions all the way this year!" On the one hand you have to admire that level of blind devotion in spite of all evidence to the contrary. All you can say is "Sure Terry. You're right man. Come on let me buy you a beer."

In fact that's what Obama supporters should do this Friday. Buy Clinton supporters a drink. They've earned it.

[Deweydecible]

amen.

Let's get together and cut the crap. There are a lot of fallacious arguments fueling the umbrage driven Clinton campaign: she's won the popular vote, she's more electable, she does poll better in some swing states, but Obama is still beating McCain in these states too, just not by as much.

A lot of the Hillary supporters think we are making a big mistake, and understandably are hurt that the woman they've envisioned winning for years is not going to be President.

[Deweydecible]

Hillary lost this because of simple flaws that should have been avoided. They totally underestimated caucus states which allowed for the more talented organizing efforts of the Obama team to dominate them. They implemented a kitchen sink strategy which backfired in many respects, especially among superdels and in the press. Hillary Clinton's "positive" coverage was higher than anyones, and highest on MSNBC ironically, in Jan. and Feb. Come March, she was suddenly covered "negatively".

Hmmm?

[papichulo9022]

YOU are GOD among men with that comment count say better myself

[punic1]

why don't you ask him for a miracle then?or a car or baby or a house or a...

[officialusa]

Cant have hillary for president if her people can not do simple math. Her campaign excludes all the caucuses to reach the flawed total. She is behind and she will be further behind after the next 2 primaries.

Second, if she is smart enough to be president, why is she not smart enough to see she has lost. She lacks foresight and she is also damaging the democratic party.

[Munkiefan]

this guy needs to go away

[dogstar7]

Terry McAuliffe blithefully ignoring the rules of the Party, suggesting his own metric, casting doubt upon the process and helping to destroy party unity.

Thanks Hillary, what would we do without you?

(Win!)

Obama 'O8

[cminmd0041]

Obama took his name off the ballot because the agreement reached by the DNC said candidates were not to campaign or participate in the primaries in states who went before the allowed dates. Why should Obama be punished for following the DNC rules?

[boldseduction69]

Didn't Gore lose with the MOST POPULAR VOTES?

*just asking..........

[Weaseldog2001]

If all else fails, just make stuff up and mis-characterize the situation.

[boldseduction69]

Sore loser.
