All you peopel are a bunc of ignorants!!! Cant you see the truth is right before your eyes???? insted of sweating whos going to be best or worse president, you all should be analyzing yourselfes in regards as to what are YOU doing for this country!!! All of you are very egotistical thinking you are indead doing something good for this country by downgrading all the candidates. Good or Bad, it really doesnt matter, what matters most is which of the candidates will bring the most sensefull dictatorship to this country, somebody that instead of thinking about wars would think about saving the planet. How about that...you idiots!!!

CLINTON CAMPAIGN CRUMBLES AT LAST; OBAMA NEEDS BLUE-COLLAR WHITE VOTE
1 of 3
DETROIT -- She is a woman. She is a white woman. She is a manly white woman. In her desperate quest for the presidency, Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign ramped up gender, race and machismo as the factors she wants the Democrats to consider in selecting the party's nominee.
Watching Clinton's campaign melting is an ugly sight. Her ruthless tactics are deplorable and divisive, not just for the party, but for the nation as well. As the reality of her failure sets in, and with Sen. Barack Obama now snatching the lead among superdelegates, Clinton has sounded slightly more conciliatory, but only after firing off a few more vile volleys at her rival.
After Obama pulled off an impressive victory in the North Carolina primary and Clinton eked out a narrow victory in Indiana -- with Rush Limbaugh's "ditto heads" providing the margin of her victory at his urging -- Clinton provided post-election analysis that certainly pleased Rush and his right-wing chorus.
Clinton told USA Today that, in spite of Obama's lead in the popular vote and number of state victories, she has "a much broader base to build a winning coalition." If she left it at that, her remarks could be written off as innocuous political spin.
But then Clinton plunged into a graceless, destructive message that contained disturbing class and racial overtones. She cited and twisted an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hardworking Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me. There is a pattern emerging here."
The pattern is Clinton's willingness to say just about anything to advance her bleak chances of snaring the nomination from Obama. And if that means exploiting racial divisions, so be it. Sen. Clinton is essentially saying the black guy can't win and only she can.
New York Times columnist Bob Herbert wrote, "The Clintons have been trying to embed that gruesomely destructive message in the brains of white voters and superdelegates for the longest time. It's a grotesque insult to African-Americans, who have given so much support to both Bill and Hillary over the years."
Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., who is black and a longtime Hillary supporter, told New York's Daily News, "I can't believe Senator Clinton would say anything that dumb."
Clinton's poisonous rhetoric magnifies the racial fault lines in American politics and she deliberately attempts to wreck any hopes Obama, the Democrats' likely nominee, has of winning in November. She is wallowing in the swamp mud of racial politics and social regression.
Richard Nixon used code words to disguise his race baiting -- his "Southern strategy," his support for "states' rights" and "law and order." George H.W. Bush used

CLINTON CAMPAIGN CRUMBLES AT LAST; OBAMA NEEDS BLUE-COLLAR WHITE VOTE
2 of 3

the Willie Horton ad -- a TV spot with the face of a black man convicted of raping and killing a white woman while on parole -- in a less subtle racially divisive message.
Clinton doesn't bother with code words or unspoken messages. She's more like the late Alabama governor George Wallace when he was on the presidential stump. Wallace would say in effect, "I'm the white guy and all you white guys should vote for me." Clinton's racial argument insults white voters, suggesting they are unwilling to give a black candidate a chance.
Clinton still has substantial support from women voters, but her campaign tactics have eroded even that support. She still has feminists like Gloria Feldt, the former president of Planned Parenthood, who told the AP as Clinton's campaign sinks, "We are in danger of never having another campaign election where people will say women can determine the outcome."
Balderdash!
Many feminists still don't grasp the notion that many voters reject Clinton, not because she is a woman, but because they don't like her positions and don't trust her. Ellen Bravo, a feminist author and advocate for working women, is supporting Obama.
She told the AP she faults Clinton's vote to support the war in Iraq and believes Obama is more committed to grassroots political movements. Bravo felt the sting of pro-Clinton feminists.
"I felt it was an ultimatum -- vote for Hillary Clinton or you're betraying the women's movement," Bravo said. She added that the hamhanded tactics don't work.
"It's very self-defeating and alienating, particularity younger women who, regardless of who they support, don't like to be told 'Do this, Do that.'"
Ariel Garfinkel, a student at Mount Holyoke College, wrote in a political blog that she and many other young feminists were offended by Clinton's attempt to capitalize on racial divisions.
"The pattern of old-style politics and adherence to un-feminist values," Garfinkel argued, "is part and parcel of the campaign Hillary Clinton has run. In this race, Barack Obama is the true feminist."
Many of Hillary's supporters make repeated and often crude references to her having more testosterone than Obama, claiming she is tougher, manlier. She buttresses that position with the bellicose words she uses about the U.S. role in the world.

CLINTON CAMPAIGN CRUMBLES AT LAST; OBAMA NEEDS BLUE-COLLAR WHITE VOTE
3 of 3

In his new book, "Wiser in Battle," Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, former U.S. military commander in Iraq, says the war in Iraq is "a nightmare with no end in sight." Sanchez describes a teleconference with military leaders and President George W. Bush during the Battle of Fallujah in 2004.
Sanchez writes Bush bellowed, "If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them! We must be tougher than hell!" After the pep rally, Bush, as is his custom, probably returned to playing video games.
We need a president with more brains and less machismo. Clinton's ploy to demonstrate that she's tougher than any of the boys has backfired.
She might have done better offering a gentler, more feminine hand to the world instead of playing the thug and pledging to "obliterate" Iran.
Clinton has succeeded in positioning herself as the champion of the blue-collar worker, while trying to convince people Obama is somehow an elite child of privilege. Even by Clinton standards, that is a monumental deception.
In Clinton's standard stump speech, she calls for more financial help for college students. It's troubling that she never mentions that she was fortunate to have a relatively well-to-do father who paid for her pricey tuition at Wellesley College and Yale Law School.
She never had to take out a college loan or work summer jobs to pay for college as Obama did. Yet Clinton tries to paint Obama -- who spent most of his life in a single-parent, financially struggling household -- as out of touch with "hardworking Americans."
Clinton's own money has kept her campaign alive. In recent weeks, she's lent $6.4 million to her campaign as she struggles to find some way to hold on to hope of winning the nomination.
As she said last week, "I'm staying in this race until there's a nominee."
I take her at her word and expect she will look for any way to wrestle the nomination from Obama. She may try to further rip the party apart by pressing to change the rules and permit the seating of the unsanctioned Florida and Michigan delegations.
And she may look for new ways to chip at Obama. The Clintons, once so confident of a grand restoration, are in foul moods facing the prospect of defeat.
Hillary's campaign -- rooted in her name, money and influence and an arrogant sense of entitlement -- failed to roll over Obama as she expected. Who knows how the drama will end?
Clinton as a vice presidential candidate is still a possibility. Dick Cheney has certainly inflated the importance of the office, and Clinton hardly wants to return to the Senate, where so many of her colleagues, who know her so well, support Obama.
But Clinton's campaign-trail behavior is diminishing her chances for a place on the ticket. One thing is certain: Hillary Clinton will not, as Dylan Thomas wrote, "go gentle into that good night."

In response to those who claim Obama is not a Muslim, nor a terrorist. Here is some facts for you.
In a Muslim family, when a son is born, and the father is a Muslim, it is the father’s religion that is the controlling religion in that child’s upbringing. Google that Mr. Know it Alls. Barack’s father was a big influence on his life, so little Barack claims. Gee, in what way do you think his father was a big influence in little Barack’s life? Where do you think the name Barack comes from? Do you think it comes from a Star Trek character? How about his middle name “Hussein,” what kind of name is that? You put the two together, and what do you get? Barack Hussein, a Muslim given name. But he is not a Muslim right?
Barack Hussein Obama is the devil in sheep’s clothing. Obama will say or do anything to get elected, along with that she wolf wife of his, who just only recently claimed for the first time in her Harvard educated adult life, she is proud to be an American. Kind of like the church they both attended for the past twenty years, listening to some preacher spew anti-American rhetoric. It is interesting how this church of Obama’s is not too much different from the Muslim schools, the madrasa that teach young Mulims to hate Americans. Muslim Mulas spew hate of America in the madrasas, not unlike Obama’s reverend Wright. You see Mr. Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim, masquerading as a Christian for his own political gains, to fool the sheep into voting for him.
God Bless America, and may we never ever elect the likes of Barack Hussein Obama as President of this country.
Quick EVERYONE BE AFRAID VERY AFRAID!!!!

He's the only candidate that does not want to totaly destroy our health care by creating a system that can have no result other than lower quality, higher prices, and reduced availability.
He's the only candidate that is not proposing gigantic tax hikes, and doulbling (or worse) the national debt. The Government is already insolvent, we don't need either Obama or Clinton to make it twice as bad.
The natinal debt went up because the Republicans cannot control their spending!

And they try to portrait themselves as fiscal conservatives! what a joke!

I am sick and tired of the media making obama their darling and dissing Hillary. Hillary would be the best choice due to her experience and common sense. Also, like him or hate him, Bill Clinton was one of our best presidents in recent history. While his morals are suspect, and his NAFTA vote killed American jobs, the economy was strong then and we all had jobs and could afford to put gasoline in our vehicles and go to work. obama says change, change, change and nothing else. What will he change? How can he know what to do? He should be Hillary's vice president. If he would do this, we'd have a Democrat president for the nexr 16 years! Think about that!

What experience? you mean experience in failure and telling Bald Face Lies? i.e. Her Health Care that failed in 1994, and she even admitted it was a flawed plan, her own plan! Failed!
What about here being subpoenaed to testify before a Grand Jury? Because of her alleged involvement in several scandals including in illegal Real-Estate deal? What experience? Lying? The only reason that she got away with it because no one believe that the Prosecution would convict a First Lady! She claimed she help bring peace to Northern Ireland, how? By christening a corner of Belfast Park for a Playground for Catholic and Protestant kids, as a peace symbol, even that failed because it is still empty! The Northern Ireland Womens Coalition formed in 1996 inspired by Hillary Clinton's words became defunct 10 years later. Every candidate of the group has lost, two straight elections! In other words failed again! What the GI Jane Bosnia? Hillary's attempt to build a trumped up foreign policy resumè by telling a blatant lie about being greeted in Bosnia by "Sniper Fire" when in fact she was greeted by a child bearing nothing more dangerous than a poem!
Admitted Lies:
Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.(She was in bed watching it on TV.)
Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.(She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
She was under sniper fire in Bosnia.(A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market.(It didn’t cover the market back then.)
Whoppers she will not confess to:

She didn't know about the FALN pardons.
She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
She opposed NAFTA at the time.
She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.
The billing records showed up on their own.
She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
She was always a Yankees fan.
She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).
With this kind of records no wonder people think she is dishonest. Dead set by trying to make Obama guily by association and look at her record? Her record Stinks all the way to Deep Space. What Damn Experience? How to f*_k your friends (Party and supporters) for her own personal gain, greed and power?

That kind of experience we dont teach our kids. This is not the America I know. She is no better than Bush and Company!

CHARLESTON, W.Va.(AP)— More party leaders swung behind Barack Obama, edging him closer to the Democratic presidential nomination, even as he braced for a loss to Hillary Rodham Clinton in the West Virginia primary Tuesday.
Party leaders continued coalescing around Obama as four more superdelegates — former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Rep. Joe Donnelly of Indiana and the District of Columbia Democratic party chair Anita Bonds — endorsed the Illinois senator.
"THIS RACE, I believe, IS OVER," said Romer, a former Democratic National Committee chairman.
