Why is Hillary Clinton still running for president?
One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race: Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning. Her own campaign acknowledges there is no way that she will finish ahead of Barack Obama in pledged delegates. That means the only way she wins is if Democratic superdelegates are ready to risk a backlash of historic proportions from the party’s most reliable constituency. So why is she still in it?

Hillary being elected president.
Submitted on April 8th, 2008 by AnonymousMrs. Clinton's political election tactics seem familiar. The old adage that you try to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative seems to be Bill and Hillary’s theme song. It used to be that if a politician got caught telling a lie their career was over, but know the Clintons both have caught telling whoppers and I don’t mean hamburgers. Bill as you remember fell in heat with one of their female aides and will always be remembered saying “I didn’t have sex with Monica, as a result Bill and Hilary were both asked to leave the White House. Now Hillary seems to have experienced memory lapses or opportunities to embellish her past military experiences and paint herself as having gone through combat experiences, worthy of combat decorations. But as we have found out later, it was just a mistake as would be electing Hillary and getting Bill in the bargain.
Hillary's Little White Lies
Submitted on April 8th, 2008 by AnonymousHilliary did not lie! All she did was try to make the playing field between herself and a true American hero a little more even. That makes her perhaps envious and a little devious, oh what the hell a little lie isn't that bad. But it does show a tendency to exaggerate the truth if you don't care or think you can't get busted or nobody would believe a Clinton would lie. Or would they?
Is it an optical illusion or is Hilliary’s nose getting longer after each time she is interviewed about her personal and political experiences.

Richardson Reduced to a party hack!
Submitted on March 29th, 2008 by AnonymousBluntly stated, Richardson just lost all respect that Democrats once felt for him (enormous). Why, did he do it? Must be a sell out for the Vice Presidency or a secret resentment of the Clintons. Either way, he has now become a non entity in the Democratic Party. Hopefully Gore and Edwards don't play into the same self serving behavior. If they do, they will hurt my heart as a Democrat. Richardson did that. I am saying this because I hope to WAKE up the hardened Party leaders to the real passion that most Democrats have for their leaders. Non-entity casulties so far: Oprah (betrayed all the women she professed to stand for), Ted Kennedy, Kerry, and now Richarson (did he lie when running against Barack or now caved in).
Why Hillary is Running!
Submitted on March 29th, 2008 by AnonymousI agree with everything you said; however, I do have another perspective: Hillary is running because the Democratic Party will not be able to escape the intense anger of Hillary's supporters (the majority of core Democrats). Hillary is loyal to supporters who will not stand her being forced out of a race:
1. that most of us NOW know was given to Barack by irresponsible media (not doing their job of vetting),
2. of prejudice by Democratic Party liberals who can't stomach that Bill Clinton's presidency resulted in one of the most peaceful and prosperous economic times for Americans (Ted Kennedy is frankly jealous & and Bill Richarson just joined this group),
3. of the DNC giving in to Obama to disenfranchise Florida and Michigan,
4. of allowing a person who has shown that he, if not actually believing this philosophy, was willing to sit for 20 years and listen to "hate" against America and "whites". What kind of person would sit and listen to something they do not believe? Could the conclusion be that he does believe. If not, he is a person with no "spine" or integrity.
Either way, Hillary supporters expect her to do everything possible to prevent such a person's election. We don't have to risk anything if Hillary becomes president. We know about her stength, work and committment to make real positive changes for working Americans.
What do we risk if Barack, either a person who has no "spine" or a person who is strong and actually believes What Wright is saying, becomes President. NO MATTER WHICH IS TRUE ABOUT Obama, his election to the Presidency is intolerable for the good of America. Go Hillary; thanks from your supporters!! Ramona from Ohio

scrutinze before they run

media job..
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by sunshine308you are right about that..but even more important maybe this is a lesson for us.. maybe in order to save a lot of time and money and stress.. we could scrutinize candidates before they run.. get rid of the skeletons early and know if it really is a candidate that we want to run.. kinda late now to find out that someone isnt even suitable to be running ..We need to have reputable and responsible ..honorable people to be our president.. not those that would serve their own purposes.
100 % agree with you
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by AnonymousAt last someone that is not afraid to speak up and talk about the real issue. When you do of course the word fear comes up. Would not expect it to be any other way as this has turned into a fear campaign. Afraid of offending the black communities when there are many in those communities that feel the same way as you do.
This is not a campaign where you can say one canidate is not your choice. Either you stand up as a Obama backer or people shake and quiver and use the word fear. I am not afraid of Obama nor do I think he is the person that should be elected President. Obama his self brought me to that conclusion.
Keep stating how you feel and maybe the people that are afraid will wake up.
Media not doing their job.
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by AnonymousAmerican look at what you are voting for. Is it more important to put Obama in the white house or more important to have a leader. Look around your communities and see how the men and women you respect behave. I can assure you that not one of them would sit their children down in a church that taught them to hate another race. America go to your childrens collage's and see what is going on. It is not the man that is getting these young people out it is his campaign workers filling your childrens heads with the vision that is nothing more than a very bad dream.
I will not belong to a party that puts Obama in the race for the white house. It has nothing to do with his race. It is the person that has shown me he is not worthy to be our President. I love my country and the people of America and there is no way that I can vote for Obama.
If the democratic party does not wake up then I will not be a part of the disaster they will bring to this country if they insist on Obama running for president.
I also believe Hillary is still running because she knows Obama is not the person to be President.
The media is not doing their job or else it would not have taken so long to bring the story about Obama's church to the attention of the American pulic nor would they listen to a 5000 word speech to pull the wool over your eyes and discuss what a great speech it is. Instead they would say what a great job of a cover up.
fear?
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by sunshine308not afraid of anything in particular except maybe turning the keys to our country over to a self serving opportunist who believes that blacks have to hate whites and that God hates whites.. that is pretty sick .. on top of that he cannot fairly represent all of us in America when he has these feelings in his heart.. he must withdraw from the race as he does not qualify. People like to be complacent and put their heads in the sand.. just ignore everything and it will go away.. right?? Wrong.. at least I make myself informed and try to make intelligent decisions. I did not make this up..Wright said on TV that this is the sect of Black Liberation theology that they practice.. Cone's... it is hate and racist..
oh hell no..
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by sunshine308I did not say what color Jesus was.. or that I assumed he was.. I said that they determined of their own volition that because we are white and they think our God is white..they wanted to have a black God.. so they made Jesus black.. this is their doctrine..God loves blacks, God hates whites, blacks hate whites and need to destroy them by whatever means.. I personally don't know and don't care what color Jesus was tho if we believe the scriptures and he was born of Jewish descent then he would be white.. but I dont make any claims one way or the other.. I just know that this religious group are racists and that is the group that Obama and Wright belong to.
Hillary will be the nominee

I am a Christian and I am
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by AnonymousI am a Christian and I am Black. All christians don't agree with what is solely conservative. Progress will occur but it will not be determined by any one politician and it will not be determined by the self serving republican party. You appear to delude youself into believing that any of these people will be your savior. Obama will be nominated if he continues to get more votes, not because of the media. I think youre judging based on your fear of lack of control. Join the club, thats life. Maybe you need to prey, sorry .pray more.

Comment on Obama's endorsement by Bill Richardson
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by AnonymousFrom “Sitting on the Fence” To Jumping on OBama’s “Bandwagon”
Does Governor Bill Richardson passionately believe that his late endorsement decisively bring an end to the process of the democratic nomination in favor of Barack Obama? Does Richardson think that Obama will choose him as his running mate if nominated? Does Obama-Richardson ticket help the Democratic Party to win the presidency next November if this happens? Alternatively, is Governor Richardson aspiring for a position in his perception that Obama will be the winner? Can he significantly influence the Latinos vote in favor of Obama? Whatever motive he may have in mind, he has clearly demonstrated that his endorsement is purely for political expediency or political opportunism. The practice of abandoning in reality some important political principles that were previously held, in the process of trying to increase one's political power and influence amounts to political expediency. The Governor’s staged action and his response to the press interview are a clear manifestation of political motivation designed to undermine the political aspiration of Senator Hillary Clinton and not to keep the unity of the Democratic Party as falsely claimed by the Governor to justify his action.
Governor Richardson has passionately campaigned for the presidency for more than a year on his diplomatic resume and as a Governor. During the debates, he was strongly claiming that he is the most qualified and experienced candidate to be president of the United States. This was his judgment on the campaign trail and now he has a different view about who should lead America. He said, “The 1990s is a decade of peace and prosperity because the competent and enlightened leadership of the Clinton Administration, but it is now time for a new generation of leadership to lead America forward.” If Richardson believes that a new generation of leadership without experience is the ultimate solution for the complex domestic and global problems America is facing, why did he, in the first place, decide to run for the president of the United States? Is he ready to relinquish his governorship to a young person regardless of experience? The only person who can provide us with answers to these questions is Governor Richardson alone. But we can also provide some possible answers. Why did he bother himself to mention about Hillary Clinton and President Clinton in his closing speech? Isn’t it clear that he unequivocally wavered about his long years of friendship with the Clinton family? Although Governor Richardson and Hillary Clinton are of the same age, is he, in his sound sense, consider her in another generation of leadership not able to lead America forward? Why did the Governor mention both Senator Hillary Clinton and President Clinton in his closing speech? Hillary is a candidate to the presidency and Bill Clinton is not. We should not expect such a behavior from a true friend. His years of experience should have helped him to make a proper judgment rather then seeking immediate political advantage with little regard for ultimate consequences. Democracy is a process that should not be interrupted without achieving the end result.
No matter what political opportunists say or do, Senator Hillary Clinton will continue to fight for us to bring real change that will turn the economy around, strengthen national security, improve the environment, and restore American credibility and leadership both at home and abroad. While endorsing Obama, the Governor said, “You understand the security challenge of the 21st century, and you will be an outstanding Commander in Chief.” He attempted to lay down a new model for being Commander in Chief and did not define it. Where is the litmus test? So far we have been repeatedly told that Obama did not support the war in Iraq. Like so many other Americans, he did not support the war but the speech alone does neither make Obama an extraordinary leader nor a person who would always make a sound judgment. Senator Obama has been a member of the church for nearly 20 years where his pastor made objectionable preaches from the pulpit and he has never uttered a word about any of the incidents until recently. Obama’s financier and close political support is now on trial. Do these major incidents make Obama a leader with a sound judgment? I very much doubt.
When considering these incidents, it is proper to question his credibility and judgment. It should be clear that judgment is a capacity to assess situations or circumstances objectively and to draw sound conclusions. This implies the imagination of possibilities and the scrutiny of their possible consequences, both negative and positive outcomes.
Does the Governor know that senator Obama failed to recognize the achievements registered during Bill Clinton’s Administration and instead praised the Republican political agenda of the 1980s? The Governor told Barack Obama, “You are an extraordinary leader who has shown courage, sound judgment and wisdom throughout your career.” Where is the evidence? Without substantiating evidence, the authenticity of the endorser’s claim as well as Obama’s eloquent speech does not make him an outstanding Commander in Chief from day one.
A political motivation that aims to increase one's political influence at almost any price, or a political style which involves seizing every and any opportunity to extend one's political influence, whenever such opportunities arise amounts to shifting positions for political expediency or political opportunism.
While the Governor has the right to support or endorse any candidate of his choice, the timing and the manner in which he has done and the way he mockingly treated the Clintons are absolutely unethical and objectionable. He mentioned their names as a footnote. He said that Obama has more delegates and the democrats have to stop the fighting and get prepared for the general election to face off the Republican nominee. Does the governor understand the concept of democracy? Hillary is not yet defeated and she is leading an effective campaign and there are millions of Americans who have not yet caste their votes. In Pennsylvania alone, poll trends indicate that Hillary is leading Obama by 17%. Does the Governor see this as a sign of defeat? While I was watching cnn, I observed that the Governor was so elated and too happy about his endorsement and have also shamefully disclosed to the press that the Clintons had approached and requested him for endorsement. He has also disclosed his intention to endorse Hillary Clinton and later changed his mind. Why is he passionately talking about it? Sadly, it appears that he drew some satisfaction from his shifting position of political expediency.
No matter what happens, Senator Hillary Clinton will continue fighting for us to make our lives better. She will also continue to demand that the voters of Michigan and Florida should not be disenfranchised. Hillary has an unshakable trust in all her supporters that they will stay with her and eventually march with her to the final victory. Those who sit on the political fence should, however, have some patience rather than hasty personal conclusion to jump into the opposite political camp.
As a democrat, Senator Hillary Clinton does not hold any bitterness against anybody for not supporting her or expressing views different from her own. While she appreciates the wide public support she has for her plan of action when she takes office in January 2009, there is no doubt she will serve all Americans regardless of political affiliation. She will be the president of all Americans and consider herself as being hired by all Americans for this important job.
Let us continue supporting Senator Hillary Clinton so that she fights for us!

Oh Hell no....
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by AnonymousJust because we have a very diverse selection of candidates does not mean that everyone who is Black is going to vote Obama or that every woman will probably vote Hillary. In the end we all want the one who is best qualified for the job. Race and gender have been the main focus of this years campaign, and as sad as that is, it's all America cares about. In my opinion, all our choices suck and it's time to just choose the lesser of two evils.
....Anyway, who are we to assume that Jesus was white? Oh hell no- they think Jesus was Black!? How could they be so wrong!? You're absolutely right, if Obama wins with that religious background, he's going to set up an army against all White people. Makes perfect sense.
Politicians lie. It's what they do. Get over it.
Why is Hillary still running for President?
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by AnonymousHillary is still running for President because she is the best qualified for the job. She played a major role in running the country while being labeled "first lady". It is time for a strong Democrat to get this country on the right track and undo the damages the Republicans have caused us. With Obama's recent problems in the open, it makes me more aware than ever that prejudice in this country is not limited toward the blacks, but there is a real issue of prejudice by the blacks toward the white population. what the blacks don't realize is that the majority of our white population had nothing to do with the slave / segregation issues of decades ago. It is high time we all "put the past behind us" and strive as Christians for the benefit of our country and build a strong America we can live happily in together.
Of top importance, is the war in Iraq, and getting our solders home. The price of gas is totally out of control! The U.S. has many oil wells that we need to open up and use for cheap gas for ourselves; stop buying foreign oil that would force them to drop the prices by having a surplus and no sales. Health care costs for Americans is another issue. Affordable health insurance and medicine for all, regardless of income and ability to pay.
2008 is the year for us to put our priorities where they need be. Lord knows, with the direction we are heading ... no telling where we will end up in the near future!
i agree with everything you
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by wishnevskyi agree with everything you say, except that Hillary will not get the nomination. The African Americans will never disavow Obama, and the Kennedy/Daley axis will keep everything under control long enough to nail it down.. The fix is in.
The so-called liberal media hates the Clintons with all the hate of a woman scorned, and they will keep sneering and sniping until Obama gets nominated.
But the same people never do see the white Christian vote, they never see anything that's not in about five cities across the country, and when McCain wins in a landslide, it will be seen as a confirmation of an irrevocably "racist" America.
End result, more Republicans, and even more alienated African Americans and Progressives.
SSDD, as the rednecks say.
Hillary will be the nominee
Submitted on March 23rd, 2008 by sunshine308In my opinion Obama will have to withdraw his candidacy soon. Remember that the media has finally just started to scrutinize him and you havent seen him squirm yet.. there is much to come.. His relationship with Rezko and all the lies about it, the relationship with Ayers, a terrorist, and now there is the realization that his "church" is actually a Black Liberation Theology church.. that means Obama , who has been a member for 20 years believes that Jesus is black and God loves blacks and hates whites and that blacks hate whites..and should by any means destroy whites. Does that sound like a platform for a presidential candidate?? I also know that his books can be perused and the lies exposed. He just has too much that cannot be explained if in fact he was a viable candidate. His electiblility is dropping every day and his desire to now debate racism with the media is simply a smoke screen to divert attention from his very deep rift with the voters now.. black and white..he has lied too many times.. he no longer has believability and his judgment is almost non existent.. does this sound like anyone that could or should be our president?? I think not. More than that, I think that we need to consider the safety and security of our country and it's citizens if Black Liberation Theology is going to be the dictator of what happens to us.
