"McCain will easily offer a new voice to the millions of angry, disappointed, and disenfrachised Clinton supporters. Obama supporters argue that the threat of a Bush III is too much, but on the contrary, the threat of an Obama I is far greater. Inexperienced, untested, unvetted..."

Oh please. Stop spewing garbage and look at the facts. Obama is intelligent, brave, and he has integrity. His platforms are virtually identical to Clinton's (why haven't you heard about them? Because HRC's campaign made the last three months about petty bullshit.) OTOH, McCain supports a longer stay in Iraq and making the Bush tax cuts permanent. He's a social conservative who will work to restrict womens' reproductive rights, gay rights, and he'll try to stock the Supreme Court with more conservatives like Thomas and Scalia.

If you think all of that is fine, fine - just admit that you are a Republican after all.

"Slick talking politician?" Isn't that just code for "fancy schvartze?"

We voted in Jimmy Carter because we were still pissed at Watergate and Nixon/Ford.

We voted in GW Bush because we were tired of Bill Clinton's antics.

Now, we're pissed at GWBush, and along comes a slick talking politician from Chicago who is selling hope and promising change. As if, like voodoo magic, the country and the world will be united in one big lovefest and be cured of all its ills.

Bubba, I know what I'd say: that is impossible. Black people almost ALWAYS vote for the Democrats. After Alan Keyes, Tony Brown, and that one other guy, the GOP mostly stopped trying. I mean, Condi and Colin really don't count, since they were appointees. The point is, it would never happen.

This situation with many of HRC's supporters along with the unseemly behavior of many of HRC's key advisers (i.e., Terry McAuliffe and his suggestion that she'd be open to the VP slot, Bill's tirade and threat to stop campaigning after this election) will be a very big reason that Obama fails in the General Election. If HRC's supporters want to be that petty, then America deserves the leadership it gets. Just like we've had 8 years of a buffoon, we'll have more time with a hot-head who really doesn't have a grasp on economic issues (incoherent tax and budget plans) and who fails to appreciate the complexity of international relations ("bomb bomb Iran").

What's "clinch" mean?

I stand by my prediction that we will have a GOP White House again. There was no case in which a Dem could win this year. HRC would have never beaten McSame. She might have bloodied him a little but he would have Swift Boated her back into the Senate.

A bruised Obama whose viability is now continually questioned by HRC supporters will fare no better. Plus, there are so many people who will flatly not support a black man (or a half-black man), especially one who is considered "inexperienced."

It's nice to see history being made; unfortunately, it doesn't amount to a hill of beans when it comes to the future. I hope that Obama does well and at least keeps the race close. I need some change in which I can believe.

*sigh*

Art Stewel, what would you be saying to Obama'a supporters if the roles were reversed? If HRC was the nominee and Obam'a supports were saying that because HRC's not black they're going to vote for McCain instead? What would you say to that?

#40, it's easy to understand once you realize that many of the "Clinton supporters" are actually Republicans who just wanted her to win the nomination so McCain would have an easy opponent. It's not like they ever actually planned to vote for her in the general election anyway.

I just don't get the Clinton people.

You'd rather vote for a guy who has basically sold his soul to everything he fought against to get the oval office in McSame. A guy who is voicing the very voices that destroyed his character, and making them his brain trust for 08.

Vs Obama. who basically has the same position on very thing Clinton stands for...

so why do you think THAT would that be???

HRC: "This has been a long campaign and I will be making no decisions tonight."

Fortunately, the decision is not hers to make. The people have spoken. Goodnight, Hill.

good night hilary.

unless you can score a VP nomination under mccain.

adios bill "i did not have sexual relations with that woman ms lewinsky", adios big nose chelsea who couldn't handle the heat when asked about sensitive questions but was out pimping for her mom, adios hilary no experience but got elected to senate ; may we never see you in the public arena again.

Hillary needs to recognize that she's lost and make a dignified exit sooner rather than later, for the good of the political party that she claims to be a member of.

The "nationwide popular vote" thing is a big red herring, because:

A) That's not how the Democratic party nomination system works, nor is it how the Electoral College works, so it doesn't matter, and

B) In order for her to make that claim, the votes from Florida and especially Michigan need to be counted as they were cast, involving the unrealistic assumption that all the voters in those states if those primaries had been held when they were supposed to and the candidates had campaigned there, the voters would've voted the same way when Obama wasn't even on the BALLOT in Michigan, and

C) It totally omits caucus states, where Obama has done very well.

Irrelevant and misleading? Sounds like exactly the kind of thing I'd expect Hillary to be spewing at this point. Seriously, STFU and GTFO.

I think it's funny that Clinton supporters are already parading their "I told you, so"s. It's funny because it's as cool now, as it was when you last used when you were 12. It's also funny because their candidate is doing everything in her power to sabotage the Democrat nominee, which just reeks of class.

Lastly, it's funny because it is not based on any evidence. If you look at the RCP average, Clinton McCain polling is 46.8/44.6. Obama/Mccain is 46.6/45.2. So the differences in the two spreads is 80 bps. Clinton has shown herself to be bad at numbers, but I'd hope that at least some of her supporters can see the insignificance of that differential five months before an election.

Ain't no way Obama will accept Hilary as a VP. You saw the second season of 24. How could Obama sleep at night knowing half the democratic party wants him dead so Hilary will succeed him as pres? It's a catch 22 for obama. He needs Hilary to win but he'll be shitting bricks for the next 4 years. Obama 08 = McCain 08 = McCain's VP in 09 cause McCain will die.

Why would a Dem or a liberal minded Independent vote for McCain?

Because his history indicates that he's pandering to the base and will quickly go back to his more independent leanings after he wins the election.

Old people vote. Young people don't. Strap in for the old guy.

Why would a Dem or a liberal minded Independent vote for McCain?

Stop the Drama, Vote Obama.

Who will win back the catlady vote now?

We have three douche balls of people. Clinton, Obama and McCain.

Whoever is the next president I hope they aren't as bad as Bush, but then again could they be?

Obama will not win in November and will ride off into George McGovern oblivion.

McCain will easily offer a new voice to the millions of angry, disappointed, and disenfrachised Clinton supporters. Obama supporters argue that the threat of a Bush III is too much, but on the contrary, the threat of an Obama I is far greater. Inexperienced, untested, unvetted -- the Republicans will crush him in November.

I am a Clinton supporter. Even if Clinton were VP on the ticket, I still wouldn't vote for Obama -- he hasn't earned my vote, it doesn't by default go to him. Sorry, but promises of hope and change without the ability to produce is meaningless.

As soon as Clinton says she's out, then my vote and, more importantly, my MONEY will go to McCain.

President Obama + VPres H. Clinton = 2 less Democratic Senate seats

Modern tickets need balance. The last time 2 senators ran together and won was 1960. Obama needs a counterweight from a swing state, not one that's voting Democratic no matter who's on the ticket.
