And she won every debate. She was, by far, the strongest and smartest candidate.
Democrats were fools not to choose Hillary.

The pro-Obama biased media have interfered in, undermined, and subverted the Democratic nominaton process. The pro-Obama biased media continue to sabotage Sen. Clinton's presidential campaign.
Black racism cannot trump the Democratic nomination process. Obama's lead in delegates, superdelegates and votes is due to the black racism in voting against Sen. Clinton.
The Democratic nominaton process calls for all states to vote and if the candidates come up short in delegates for the nomination, then the superdelegates must select the best qualified candidate for the presidency using their independent judgment.
Obama does not have the requisite number of delegates for the nomination; he has no presumptive lock on the nomination. The Democratic nomination process is still in progress and concludes when all of the remaining states have voted and the superdelegates select the best qualified candidate using their independent judgment. Sen. Clinton is the best qualified presidential candidate and she must continue her fight for the future of America.
Qualifications must be the unyielding principle, similar to the rule of law, for the presidential nomination. Obama's skin color and fear of alienating the black vote or the threat of “massive demonstrations” cannot trump the unyielding principle of qualifications.
Obama’s trying to swipe the nomination from Sen. Clinton with the premature end of the nomination process called by the pro-Obama biased media is a subversion of the Democratic nomination process, and Obama will crash and burn in November and the Democratic Party will be a train wreck in November. I will vote McCain. McCain will be president and it will be four more years of Bush under McCain. Black racism must be defeated.
The underlying flaws in your argument are:
ALL LEGAL VOTES COUNT! Even your so-called black racist votes.

The superdelegates ARE selecting the best qualified candidate for the presidency using their independent judgment. They are just not doing it your way. Hence the word INDEPENDENT!

Interesting article, but I do believe that there has been a GREAT DEAL of sexism out there that has caused insurmountable hurdles for Clinton. A lot of what is out there would have been condemned (rightfully) if it was along racial lines. But a lot of the sexism has gone uncondemned. It's a shame because for me, she clearly is the better candidate.
Sexism? Like what? Race overshadowed EVERYTHING in this race, even Romney's Mormonism.

<quoted text> I tell you what! you people should elect a pig if they have the potential to go the opposite way from which we just came. The pride in the name Democrat or Republican should be the least interest right now, who can scape up an ounce of pride right now? n9ot me!!!. We are in a cement ball of catastrophes. We need a new name that includes both sides called "The U.S.A. Rescuers" forget color, titles, pride, and gender. We are in a state of emergency just like the people in Tiland. And that is not a pretty picture!
Black racism is harmless to anyone but their own race. I hardly believe anyone is affected by racism, especially if they are caucasion. How can the very people who created racism pretend to be the victims of it? Which leads one to ask, what are you really fighting against? it's simple. Control! fear of loosing what was never yours. But it all makes sense. When people are crooked, they tend to live in fear, and always watching afraid of loosing something. Blacks are the most compromising race of people on earth. They learn to adjust to how people are and make the best of it. The white race is known for abusing and taking advantage of every other race, who ever got the privelege of saying they abused the white race? you people are not afraid of racism, you are afraid of loosing what was never yours. When have you ever heard of an election turning into a race debate? Republicans keep things one sided,and since you people feel that the Democrats might make it possible for others to be treated with dignity, you'd rather cry race was. You people are not getting no race war out of anyone , because blacks don't give a damn, give them some weed, and a car, and a bed, and you sick greedy, theives can steal the sun if you want. You probally would steal the sun if it wasn't too hot! lol

Well I WAS wondering just how you managed to get your head wedged so far up your backside, then I noticed that you're an AOL subscriber. So nevermind.

Anyway the only "Racism" I'm noticing lately is from people of your ilk. Hilly and Willy threw every underhanded racial dirty trick they could muster at Obama, only to have it all backfire and blow up in their faces. So deal with it.

The only reason that the ADULTS in the room want her out now is because we've just had enough of her great big mouth, and all the rhetorical drivel the she spouts without ever really saying anything of substance (and NO, attacking everybody else for their positions does not count as constructive).

Personally I have no problem with you poor self deluded souls hanging on until the bitter (there that word IS again) end. I just don't want to have to listen the that self obsessed, entitlement minded, disingenuous B---- for even one moment longer than I have too.

I personally find her offensive and annoying. I also believe that she (and her husband) should be sitting in a Federal Penitentiary for the crimes and Treasons that they've committed. The fact that she's still involved in government and actually attempting to connive her way back into the White House just points out how ineffective our system of policing our elected officials actually is.

So don't whine about her losing, it could always be worse. She could have actually GOTTEN elected.

This whole piece is such a non-sensical stretch! How can a candidacy be a 'triumph' when it is NOT? How can an utterly dysfunctional campaign - with no Plan B after Super Tuesday, a $20 mln debt, countless message changes and desperate personality twists, undignified cheap shots on race, shameful pandering, disgusting infighting so-o-o reminiscent of the 90s - be described as... disciplined?

What in her "35 years of experience" can be touted as achievement to contrast it with the supposedly 'inexperienced' Obama? Never heard of a Clinton-X Amendment, or a Clinton -Y legislation of any sort.

The true measure of the woman was in full display, and I didn't like what I saw. Instead of reaching higher she reached lower and invited the voters to go along. I say no.

I agree with you. I don't have anything against Blacks, but this looks, sounds and smells like black racism against a woman who has always stood up for them as well as other underprivileged people in America.

I certainly think that Media is biased against Hillary Clinton. Just look at CNN. They portray Obama as the preferred candidate of educated people as if hard working Americans who havent gone to college count for less than those who were born with a gold spoon in their mouths.

The media are a bunch of republicans who want to build up Obama so that the democrats lose the election to McCain in November. The media were co participants in warmongering and misinformation of American public before the Iraq war remember? Perhaps they want to get a free ride on the presidential plane with Obama. Since he seems so unassertive and receptive to them.

It is pity that biased media hijacks the democracy. If elected candidate, Obama will lose the election in November or will be a lame duck one-term president.

Obama is not presidential but a flash in the pan media made public figure.

Hillary Clintons candidacy is still a triumph because she represents strength, stamina, open-mindedness and outstanding women who dare to stand up and speak their minds on issues.

Hillary Clinton is a one of the greatest women in the History.

CNN should be ashamed of its Biased reporting against Mrs Clinton. They have been reporting since day one as if Obama was inevitable presidential candidate .

Who is the master who is the slave? As it stands now, It looks like CNN and the other Biased media are the masters and the next democratic candidate(Obama) is a true slave.

anyone who thinks obama is not a manchurian candidate has rocks in their heads. obama's campaign was caught over the weekend having secret talks with HAMAS an islamic terrorist organization. anyone supporting obama is a traitor to america. obama is the best secret weapon osama bin laden has. maybe the new sermons being preached in evangelical churches are accurate that obama is the anti-christ. his name adds up to 666! the beast of revelation is here. HILLARY CLINTON PLEASE STAY IN THIS RACE UNTILL YOU WIN! SAVE US FROM THIS EVIL THAT IS OBAMAISM! GO HILLARY!

Tackett writes, "She deployed her husband to great effect in rural areas." Sure, with his racist comments, his red-faced loud arguments with people in the audience, his gaffes when he tried to defend her Bosnia lie, his presence being a constant reminder of his impeachment and embarrassment to his family. Tacket has long been an unabashed great admirer of the Clintons, but this is a bit much. Given that, Hillary can thank only her fellow Democrats for her loss with the convoluted nominating system they developed with the support of her husband. Only a left-wing conspiracy here; no right-wingers involved....except for Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" which actually helped her stay in the race longer than otherwise.
Bla Bla Bla CNN talk(CNN lies and disinformation by taking things out of their contexts and situation at the time). At the time in Bosnia every person practically lived under the threat of snipers. Snipers were everywhere. I dont see why, Hillary putting on a gracious face to greet few who people on the way to the convoy would make her story less reliable. Every day, people who are told that they face possible danger put on a brave face and go about doing what they do the best way they know how.

I think media is just biased against Hillary Clinton, they scrutinize and misrepresent everything she does or says. I wonder If Obama could survive a day of that?
Hillary is an Icon. She represents independence, correctness acknowledgment of good and the bad, hard work, energy, stamina,,,

I was against Iraq war to begin with. But I think Hillary did not support the war. She voted for use of force as the last option and when all other channels have been exhausted. It was Bush who stated the war not Hillary.

I think America should be very proud of Hillary Clinton. It is nice to see many people still support and stand by her until every last vote has been posted and accounted for.

Hillary is no puppet. Obama is.

Ex president Bill Clinton is one of the greatest leaders America has ever had. So what if he made a few private missteps? We all have some missteps in our closets. Should we be judged only based on that? Bill Clinton has done a lot of good in this world. He should be and will be remembered for the good that he has done and continues to do.

Obama will not even come close to Bill Clinton's leadership, knowledge, intercultural, interracial good will.

Obama runs on the race card. 98% of the black vote goes to him. Come to think about it America has not changed. The package is different but the racial divide still remain.

I am against racism regardless of where it comes from, but I am against affirmative action for the role of president.

Mrs Clinton is the best candidate.

It's really mind boggling what voters "hear" much less see in Sen. Obama. This man has almost zero knowledge, therefore no solutions to the major issues involving being the leader of the free world. He has used Rev. Wright's soup kitchens and Wright himself to make a name for himself in Chicago and then he is ashamed of Rev. Wright when he is moving on to become the Democratic candidate. Obama is all show and no content. While I am not a "follower" of Rev. Wright, Sen. Obama was connected to this man for twenty years. He not only knows how Wright preaches, but he had to be in agreeance with his principles. Who sits in a church for twenty years as a grownup, without not liking what is going on? Obama and his wife Michelle are two people who in no way should be in the white house. Michelle does not like being in the company of white women, like many other black women of her kind. She is uncomfortable being a hostess and Obama is half African. He also spent significan time in Indonesia. What I am saying is this: By Obama not growing up on the mainland of this country, he lacks what is badly needed to understand this country and how it deals with the world. I don't know why black Americans are so infatuated with Africa. Africans have long thought themselves better than we black Americans. Yes, I am a black woman by physical identity but I am an American, first. Obama, if elected would have mostly white experienced people in his cabinet because he has zilch experience! I am voting for McCain. He is honest, seasoned and experienced. Enough Said

I think the democrats are going to suffer their biggest vote loss because of Osbama.

People don't vote for a internally backstabbing party nor do they vote for someone whom they don't perceive as a true winner. Obama is an upstart despite all of his grass root talks. He will achieve nothing. He rides on his colour. I thought qualifications should be the deciding factors not the colour.

Obama has NOT WON the Most Crucial States. Now West Virginia and Kentucky are going to teach him a good lesson about the working class Americans. He will not be able to win anything without their support. The working class Americans are proud and patriotic people. They are educated enough to differentiate a fake man(Obama) from a true, proud and hard working American woman(Hillary Clinton). From what I hear people in West Virginia dont like upstart egoists like Obama who looks down on them.

By the way striving to progress is okay, but why should people strive to be elitists????

Every job and every person who works within his capacity is honourable. What give the elitists the right to look down on mothers or fathers whom may have to do the bagging, dishwashing, work in the industries,,,,,,,, in order to feed their families?
Puffff, talk about looking down on hard working people.

I also use the word Rock. But I don't think Obama Rocks. He just does not look the part.

He is just todays' media made product. If I look at him, I think the change in America is far far away.

I don't believe in Hollow/ Unachievable/ good sounding promises. The gas tax may not be too big of a thing, but at least it is real and achievable.

Hillarys power is herself. She is one of the smartest women on this planet. Powerhouse politicians are not made by Oprah(as Obama) is. They feel power from within.

Hillary Clinton is a leader type. Obama is NOT. Osbama is a media puppet. The media may just get their way because many voters may consider switching from Hillary to McCain. Rightfully so too.

Who do you choose Osbama and his Unproud wife or War hero McCain?

I am not a republican, but if it comes down to the wire, I would go for McCain. The reason: Presidency is jut not a place for training on the job nor for affirmative action based on race.

Maybe he should ask Hillary how she does it?? Now, instead of using sexist remarks toward Hillary, he is going to be using ageist remarks against McCain, who has demonstrated that he is a real hero to his country.
Remeber the "snipers in Bosnia"? She's a lying imbecile! And would you femists stop calling us sexist just because we oppose a woman? It's so lame!

Again we will see the Swiftboating of the Democratic candidate. So very sad.
Looks like Sean and Rush won another one. You know, enough republicans will come out and admit that those creeps are full of s***, so why would you still buy it even though your own kind will say the opposite? How pathetic.
