[KojachBaumherr]

oh i get it its not about what the democrats who actually voted for their nominee want, its about who the republicans would rather have as a president over mccain

fucking ridiculous

[EntertheBlackDragon]

I think Hillary hasn't shown us leadership much during this campaign she has run this campaign as a republican vs. a democrat. She goes so far as to praise a rebuplican rather than a fellow democrat who stands for basically the same ideas she has. That's not good for democrats to have to listen to the clintons talk as if Obama can't make a difference or that he doesn't matter he's won 30 states, that's more than half the country!! That's over McCain or Clinton! I think the point was well made!

[Veracifier]

Thanks for the comments. Keep up the good work.

[tsycear]

Obama or Hillary would both win against McCain. I think Hillary would win by a larger margin.

[nymeloman]

The polls show Barack Obama against John McCain 41% to Barack's 48% and Hillary Clinton against John McCain shows Hillary at 43% to John McCain 41%. Barack Obama would beat John McCain alot easier then Hillary Clinton. Look it up! Obama 08!

[tsycear]

Those polls don't really mean anything yet. I think it would be closer between McCain and Obama because when people can't decide they usually vote for the one who they're familiar with, but it won't matter because if the voter turnout is anything like the primaries Democrats will turn out at a 2 to 1 ratio over Republicans and own the election.

[paultherolls]

Hillary is a high level member of the Illuminati. This woman is evil.

[shamansays]

not to mention, her dad is a mobster, and her husband and herself think its fun to do cocaine.

[rasoros]

See you guys in Denver! Don't forget to bring the pitchforks!

[lidixmang]

It would be cool to have Ron Paul and Barack Obama debate the issues.

People might be surprised.

[peacevoter]

Clinton "family not big on quiting"? Tell that to those of us who remember Lani Guinier and Joycelyn Elders.

[djcateyez]

lol @ quoting fox news polls

[megan4197]

lol, that would be a good retort - but then again, I didn't say "look how many states seceded!" now did I?

[choppermfg]

Im white and will not vote for Hillery...........I will vote for Obama...

[NorsemanMI]

So... what Clinton is really saying--behind the scenes--is that Obama cannot win the general election because he is half-black. How sad.

[DoctorMixter]

MARK HALPERIN is the worst fucking political journalist on the planet.

[megan4197]

and look what happened to the former. And after the brutal reconstruction of his minions, there still exists a North and South divide.

[megan4197]

and look what happened to the former. And after the brutal reconstruction of his minions, there still exists a North and South divide.

[NefetiriSianNephele]

"Basically, Hillary's worried that Obama won't win against McCain because he's black..."

Hey, that's weird - I'm worried that Hillary won't win against McCain because she's a Clinton.

:)

[megan4197]

Staying in "Death to America" Jeremiah Wright's pews for 20 years, I'm not surprised.

"He ain't rich, he ain't white".....

Obama is as rich as a bitch and "reverend" Wright, you should complain! Since you're getting a 2million dollar estate w/ an elevator to boot all compliments of your "church"

Message to FBI: investigate "Trinity Church's" tax exempt status will you? Or are you also part of the Obamamania like the media as well?

[memoryaid]

The key thing here:  she believes Obama won't win because he's black.

She KNOWS this country is too bigoted to vote for a black person. How sad.

[CosmoHunter24]

Hillary Clinton didn't believe Obama would get this far. We can prove them wrong, again.

And LOL about Clinton painting herself as a political "hero"..

Obama '08

[bigceez4]

The greatness of Obama---> watch?v=OW1p56ahlio

[lorettarosa]

If Obama was Red White Blue and Green,

He still has my vote and gets my money.

Rev.Wright is more American then Hillary,

in her life-time.

[missdivinestalls]

Taking this to the convention is idiotic. She cannot beat McCain. If she really cared about this country more than her own burning desire to win and her arrogance in staying in despite the odds being against her then she is not worthy of leading this country.

[politicomark]

How insulting. Typical Clinton hubris. She has a lot in common with Bush temperamentally, as well as policy wise. Bad bad bad news.

[tito45]

At this point, neither Obama nor Clinton can win the general election. They are destroying the Democratic Party.

[kabaau]

If BO were a nominee, he will join a long list of people that include John Kerry, Al Gore, Dukakis, Mondale, etc. He cannot win the election because his resume is very very thin. He will not get my vote. i will rather be proven wrong than to get it wrong.

[Verified1]

She can't say everything? Is this like Nixon's secret plan to end the Vietnam war? How arrogant.

[kabaau]

She can't say everything because the everything will conveniently into racism. Accusing the opponents as racists or using race card is Obama's secret weapon. Have you not learned anything from Obama campaign yet?

[KosmicCitizen]

IOW. this Lady is willing to cause her party's chances to win the Presidency go down in flames IF she doesn't get her way. Nice. That should be enough for the "insiders" to drop her like a bad habit.

[imkinger]

That was subtle.

Why didn't he just come out and say "a nigger can't be elected president"? At least that would spare us all the double talk.

[stewart0312]

is this guy a retard? Look at his eyes and slur.

[papichulo9022]

ha ha ha this is dumb

[lea210]

people are so stupid, Obama's advisor, Axelrod, has been trying to spread the idea of "she's going to destroy the party" as a way to manipulate people's minds and beliefs. There is several more months after June before the general election. Why stop now? The reason Obama is saying these things is because in fear that Hillary might catch up which will sway the superdelegates towards her. She has more electoral votes, swing state votes, and if Fl and MI counted, more popular votes.

[12stringsforme]

She reneges on written agreements not to count those states. He didn't campaign in either and his name DID NOT APPEAR ON THE FLORIDA BALLOT. Now that she's lost the nomination, she's desperately grasping for anything to stay afloat.

"It 's 3 am. Don't wake Hillary, she might have another hallucination."

[Soldierette]

lea, you need to stop listening to that dribble by Hillary. It makes NO sense. She doesn't have MORE anything than Obam, and 30-11, in ANY other sport is a BLOW-OUT. Why can't Hillary and her supporters understand this simple math?

Axelrod is not saying the stuff about the Party. The DNC is, and they are right. If Hillary gets that nomination w/ Obama being in the lead, MOST of his supporters will stay home or vote AGAINST Hillary. Make no mistake, Obama supporters do NOT want Hillary.

[PharaohNineD]

McCain will lose to McCain. MSM and the blogsphere should stop talking up emotions that are running high.

Nice story and all but things are really serious out here.

[zideaz]

Do I detect Clinton feces on the lips of Mark Halperin?

I believe I do.

All rational and fair-minded people realize that the contest is already over. The only way that Sen. Clinton can win the nomination is by somehow having the super-delegates intercede on her behalf. But, by stealing the election that way, she would destroy the Democratic Party and prevent its nominee from winning in November. So, there is absolutely no way for her to win the nomination and the general election.

[lea210]

how is it over when Barack can't reach 2024 either? And isn't barack destroying the Democratic Party by not allowing the votes of 2 million people to county in florida?

[Verified1]

lea210, Obama IS following the party rules & will continue to abide by the DNC rules re: Florida. Just because the FL state Dem party botched their primary, why are HRC & her supporters blaming Sen. Obama? Sen. Clinton supported excluding FL delegates too, but now that she sees an angle, all of a sudden she cares deeply for Floridians? Nonsense. This is the kind of selfish concern that turned me from Sen. Clinton. You can't have it both ways. Either follow the rules or cheat your way to victory.

[PappyRoo]

She has to destroy the party to save the party.

Either way Bill's hangin' out at the 'Black House,' yes! it will be renamed and painted bright purple. Party on.

[12stringsforme]

"Vote for me or I'll wreck the Party!"

Mark Halperin is a total asshole. "She can't make a fraction of her case because it's too sensitive."? This is the sound of a desperate and hopeless bunch of people, like Comical Ali in Baghdad, or Hitler in his bunker, urging the German people to fight on.

Why is the media treating Hillary so politely? She can not win. Her numbers can not and will not catch up.

And she's a proven liar. She lies about her past and her record.

[carrieisqueen]

and barack hasn't lied about his past and records? C'mon don't make it seem like he is innocent.

[kabaau]

he LIED being a professor when he was a senior lecturer, big difference. He LIED about his white grandmother. Read Honolulu Advertiser had an article friends of his grandmother were shocked . He LIED about his father being airlifted from Kenya by JFK. He LIED about Rezko, He LIED about passing ethics bill as junior senator, he LIED not there in the pew, he LIED about receiving $ from oil companies, and more LIES are coming out drip by drip

[Verified1]

kabaau, Obamam was a senior lecturer which IS considered a professor PER Univ of Chicago Law School. No lie there - check yr facts. Because a friend of his grandmother never heard her say anything racist doesn't mean he did not hear such comments. He doesn't hate his grandmother - he was just pointing out we all hold subtle biases - not a lie, check yr facts. (cont.)

[kabaau]

there is a BIG difference between senior lecturer and Professor. The later is tenured and have several publications, the earlier is just teaching based on experience. He taught current issues on racism, not constitutional law. Check your facts. Throwing grandma under the bus is unbecoming of a grandson. you check your facts. he is an opportunists. Friends of his grandmother are horrified to hear the "beloved" grandson equating her to the bigot Wright.

[Verified1]

thanks, kabaau, I'm an asst professor in a university, so no need to lecture me on what that designation means. The Univ of Chicago Law School classifies senior lecturers as professors. You can easily check this on-line. There've been a few stories about it recently. Time to stop mud-slinging & focus on meaningful facts such as a corrupt government that tortures, lies, pillages, kills & maims in the name of profit. It's time we focused on stopping out national shame, not Obama's former pastor.

[kabaau]

Verified1:Did mean to lecture but its silly to say professors and lecturers are one and the same. You would not want to be mistaken as just a lecturer. I would not hire Obama as his resume does not reflect loyalty, ever ready to go for the next big, selling out grandma, and his father too. Certainly you don't want someone with that kind of character trait would you?

[Verified1]

kabaau, Guess it's not up to us what Univ of Chicago Law School calls its teachers. It doesn't matter to me in the end. My students' success matters to me, not my title. I'm very familiar with Obama's record & I don't see those qualities you describe; in fact, I see quite the opposite. I don't think he sold out any of his relations. I'm also part of a multiracial family, so I recognize the biases he had to overcome & I respect his honesty. Hope you and I will find common ground in the fall.

[kabaau]

Not in Obama. I just don't see him a leader, he is good at criticizing but not proposing ideas. You are a rare gem, professorship reflects hardwork, intelligence, and originality. It is no small feat to be tenured. Finkelstein had difficulties even with numerous publications. If he sold his grandma easily, I wonder how easy for him to sell his country when negotiating with other leaders! A preview: Canadian and Sam Powers gaffs. Not saying he is not patriotic but he takes those things lightly

[kabaau]

Verified: The threshold to be a professor is basically the same anywhere in this world, without significant publications and peer support one will stay assoc prof for many years. Either publish or perish is the mantra for I think all professors. Obama does not appeal to me, Clinton has her problems, McCain oh I don't know. But I just cannot see what others see in Obama. If BO is the nominee, I stay at home.

[Verified1]

LOL kabaau. You're nothing if not persistent. I'm fully aware of tenure qualifications, & am a published researcher in my field, thanks. The Univ of Chicago Law School faculty can call its senior lecturers anything they like. You & I don't get to make that decision, no matter how much you seem to want to. I'd hate to see you not participate in Nov. Another GWB administration is what we'd end up with under McCain, I fear. Recomm. you browse Obama's site to learn more abt. his policies. Take care.

[kabaau]

Given the current fiasco with BO, I will cast my vote for McCain. To quote Ferraro, Hows that!

[Kalestine]

Are you talking about washed up Geri Ferraro-- The Archie Bunker of the Democratic Party? You can cast your vote for whomever -- Barack will win in 08. I find it interesting that you mentiion 2 dinosaurs in the same sentence .LOL

[s4life]

Senior Lectures are some type of professor in most universities... not just full professors, nor associate professors.

[kabaau]

verified1: teaching elective classes is based on experience not academic strength, even Mayor David Dinkins of NYC taught, as visiting lecturer at Columbia on race issues.

[Verified1]

kabaau (cont.) He may have been mistaken abt the exact funding details for his father's flight, but Cora Weiss agrees that the Sr. Obama benefited from the subsidies from the Kennedy foundation. Check yr facts. What was his Rezko "lie?" Just because Obama heard his pastor say some things he personally disagrees with does that mean? So what? Have you ever heard anything you disagreed with? What was the oil company money "lie?" Time to give us facts or else yr accusations are not worth our time.

[kabaau]

benefiting is not airlifting and airlifting is more romantic than just benefiting. Don't gloss over, call it like it is. I have not heard my priest belittling other races but I have walked out of my class in protest of bigotry, several times, never to come back and have approached the provost and protest in writing. Check your facts. Don't just bombard me with "check your facts" you check your facts and do some indepth readings. Not just MSNBC or CNN reporting. Go do your homework now!

[kabaau]

verified1: not accusations, but indepth reading from several sources and I for one would not spoon feed you or any Obama fans. Just to show his fans are spoon fed and no independent thinking.

[historywillabsolve]

the neocons would do quite well under a HRC white house. she is their stealth candidate.

[MooseOfReason]

If loss of sleep makes her think she was under sniper fire, what's she gonna do at 3:00 a.m. if she answers the phone?

[ndjarnag]

regardless, this is interesting stuff?

[ruddypoo86]

Damn, the chicks on Fox News are pretty easy on the eyes.

As for Hillary, she's showing what a bad loser she truly is and she's going to be as instigative and divisive as possible in trying to win the nomination (i.e. use the race card whenever she can). She simply does not deserve the nomination mathematically, but she's not big enough to bow out gracefully.

Obama all the way, say what you want about him, but at least this guy has class.

[carrieisqueen]

Obama was the one who pushed the Ferraro story, and Obama was the one who pushed Race in south Carolina. WHo exactly is using the race card? Why don't you youtube "Obama pushing race" and see how he got caught pushing it. Of course his campaign makes hillary out to be the racist so she will lose all the black votes.

[12stringsforme]

Ferraro pushed the Ferraro story.

[carrieisqueen]

no she didn't, Obama was calling all the new stations and newspaper about it. There was an article that reported his campaigns eagerness to destroy Hillary by association to Ferraro. But when it was his pastor who is associated with him, he tells America to move on. It's sickening how people do not realize his tactics regarding race. Youtube "Obama pushing race" and that proves his race-tactics.

[12stringsforme]

What crap. I have news for you. He's black. I think some people have noticed already and moved on.

[Soldierette]

Why is he called "black" all of the time when he has a white mother? That's sort of Thomas Jefferson's 1% rule, isn't it? He is Milato; a mix of black and white. When your parents are both races, you cannot claim only one of them and deny the other. He is mixed!

[Verified1]

Soldierette, He is human.

[ruddypoo86]

Ferraro's comments on Obama were absurd, stating he was benefiting from being black in the election process, and was where he was due to it? That's utterly ridiculous. Ferraro was just another surrogate the clinton campaign were using to try to make race an issue, by alluding African-Americans were voting for him en masse. That's an insulting and incendiary thing to say, They were trying to make him out to be the "black" candidate when he has a very broad appeal overall.

[FeelFreeToArgue]

So Clinton is going to stay in the race till her own people ask her to leave? If her supporters on Veracifier, Salon, et al are indicative, there will be no groundswell among her faithful calling on her quit. I think her putting her conditions this way is her saying she will not drop out for any reason. Like Charleton Heston, you can have the nomination when you pry it out of her cold, dead fingers.

[mvertigo16]

wow, just wow.

[eneliatarknenah]

Basically, this guy is trying to say that Obama can't win because he's black. Like Hillary's more electable because she's a woman? Media pundits need to get over their racism. It's disguting already.

[kabaau]

BO is unelectable because his resume is thin and thin as it may be, its mostly embellished. If anyone point that out, rest assured he/she will be accused of being a racist or a bigot. If you're in public eye, you cannot afford to be accused of such eventhough the accusations are not true

[alnewberry]

What? Hillary's opponents want her to quit? What a shocking revelation. I'm sure she'd like McCain and Obama to quit too.

[Williamkurk]

She's losing, and McCain has been the republican nominee...ummm....oh yeah, and she'd have to win the remaining states by 56%, and she'll still be behind by 23 delegates.

[vertigate]

In fact, she'd need 65% in ALL states to win.

566 delegates at stake

171 delegate lead for Obama

(((566-171)/2)+171)/566 = 65%,

i.e. HRC would have to win 65% of the remaining delegates JUST TO CATCH UP. 65% to 35%, i.e. a 30 point advantage. That means she'd have to win almost 2 delegates for every delegate that Obama wins. How much more damage is she willing to do for this unrealistic goal. And it IS damaging financially and for the party. Clinton supporters should think about this.

[carrieisqueen]

Obama is losing to Mccain in all the SWING states, while Hillary is nearly tied. Without the Swing states, the democrats will lose. Obama will lose Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Missouri to Mccain. That is the major issue. Even if Obama wins, he has no chance of beating Mccain. He lost the Middle America White vote b/c of his racist pastor. I think he became unelectable.

[carrieisqueen]

Obama can't win either, don't you see. Also, this race is undemocratic because Barack is blocking the voters of Fl and Mi. If he is so certain the American people wants him as president, why not allow FL and MI to vote? That primary was pushed by republicans, and he is the one who BROKE the DNC RULES by having ads in florida and a press conference.

[nbwulf]

Painful...

[kjm5x5x]

Clinton has the right to go to the convention. Why are poeple acting surprised by this? True it hasn't been done in a while but it is NOT against the rules at all, in fact, it is part of the rules. It is perfectly fair. And, if Obama really is the strongest candidate to win in the fall, then he will prosper there, and be the nominee. We have a system for a reason. BUT, people deep down just don't want a woman in charge. Finally, they can demand that she quit "for the good of the party" YEA RIGHT

[vertigate]

HRC started with 160 superdelegate endorsements into this race before the primaries had even started. Obama had a mere 50 superdelegate votes at this point. So don't you DARE pull the gender card on this one. The party was more than EAGER to hand it to HRC, but the fact of the matter is, she bungled it all throughout her campaign, and the voters have clearly shown they want Obama. To deny that HRC at this point is anything more than a problem to the DNC is ridiculous.

[hypnofan35]

The fact of the matter is leaders don't have to be sane or smart or unselfish or wise or anything such. All they have to do is take credit for popular stuff and place blame for unpopular stuff and be loyal to a group of self serving cronies. Being a sociopath is also important. When they send people off to their deaths, they have to think of it as something that God woul have happen. Actually if people are loyal to that kind of nonsense they will end up the devil's favorites.

[coach3sheff]

BULL SHIT.

i am tired of the bull shit. bull shit. bull shit. bull shit.

what a load of bull shit.

tell a uk man why that ron paul cant win the presidency - he is the only one that is anti-bull shit.

are not usa tired of all the bull shit?

[devikkyrn]

Oh, and let's not forget that Republicans are crossing over to the Democratic primary just to vote for Clinton. So just who do the Republicans think will be a stronger candidate against McCain, hmm?

[claytongault]

devikkyrn, they participate in the Democrat primaries to keep the Democratic race for nomination going and the mud flying for as long as possible by supporting the underdog candidate (right now, Clinton). As things are going, whoever the Dems finally nominate at the convention (because that's clearly where this is heading) will be limping into the general election.

[devikkyrn]

So now she's making herself out to be America's hero; that she's the only one who can save America. If we elect Obama, we're just handing the country right back to the Republicans. Uh huh. Even though until VERY recently, Obama was doing better against McCain in the polls than she was.

Clinton brings a lot of negativity into this race, and that will deter voters from choosing either one of them. If she takes this to convention, she'll just be fucking America.

[allencrider]

It's always nice to have representatives from the mainstream media be your campaign surrogates. I guess.

[oolong2]

The Clintons want to make this solely about race.

The obvious reason Hillary doesn't think Obama can win is because he's Black. Although the national polls say otherwise. It is sad reflection on an older generation...

Although she's a serious hypocrite for not applying the same bias towards herself for being a female candidate.

[dogstar7]

FOX is simply pandering to white supremacist fears that Clinton will eventually have to leave the race. They are apoplectic at the thought of a black man becoming President.

My own friends and even family members are spinning wild hypothetical scenarios rather than consider that Obama is simply beating Clinton hands down at every turn.

Time for America to stop living in denial.

[bigcougar111]

Hillary is not realistic.

She lies.

She reminds me of Bill.

I will either vote for Obama or McCain, never a liar.

[ikekll]

We're being set up- not that I have any favorite but Obama vs McCain?

Enter soon Bloomberg!

[ikekll]

Bloomberg will be McCain's selection for vice president.

[vertigate]

Bloomberg said that he would endorse whoever presents a clear business plan even if he doesn't agree with the direction. If he stands by his word, he'd have to pick Obama, cause he is the only one who has presented a comprehensive regulatory framework to reign in the abuses that have led to the economic crisis. McCain presented nothing. But Bloomberg in turn will probably expect VP spot for his endorsement, and I don't know if that's a good idea. Kind of tricky. Has pros and cons.

[muslcop]

vertigate has it ALL backwards, clearly ignorant of Hillary's strengths. Go Hillary 2008

[ogjimkenobi]

Hillary will lose, its simple math dumbass.

[RUKiddinMeHuh]

Does Mark have pink eye?

[hypnofan35]

It's a crazy-race or a race of crazies. We have three megalomanic psycho twerps trying to wound one another in a charge for the finish line. I think the fix might be in and the rich bastards are just laughing at the "impotent electorate". The whole democratic process has become a charade to keep us believing; similar to religion.

[vertigate]

HRC's WH schedules show that after her health care debacle, she was suspended from any active role in the WH.

Berkeley economist Bradford Delong from HRC's health care team said:

"Hillary Clinton needs to be kept [..] away from the White House for the rest of her life. [..]

She had neither the grasp of policy substance, the managerial skills, nor the political smarts to do the job [..]. And she wasn't smart enough to realize that she [..] had to get out of the Health Care Czar role QUICKLY."

Hard to believe, I know: HRC telling lies.

--> tinyurl . com / 2lowlr

[vertigate]

"So when [told] that key senators like Daniel Patrick Moynihan would have this-and-that objection, she told them they were disloyal. [..]

When long-time senior hill staffers told her that she was making a dreadful mistake by fighting with rather than reaching out to John Breaux and Jim Cooper, she told them that they did not understand the wave of popular political support the bill would generate."

HRC an egomaniac? No way.
