"The power to label is the power to manipulate"
The media has labeled most anything the Clinton campaigning says as "negative" and then asked the question of voters who had the most negative campaigning. KO is still spinning the most vicious shit against Hillary by keep mentioning that the HRC campaign will poach Obama delegate despite the fact that the HRC campaign has said that is not true. The media has done a great job of painting Hillary into a cornner while giving Obama a pass on his very negative campaigning. I am tired of this shit but there is little that can be done. Hillary is fighting for her political life against the Republicans, Messiah Obama, and the media. She will not be able to survive having to fight all three plus ditto head voters who are following the instructions of Rush and Hannity to cross over to vote for Obama. I want her to hold out until March 4 for TX and OH. If she loses there, I want her to bow out graciously, turn the grizzly media over to the McCain/Obama face off. And for my part, I hope Obama beats the shit out of McCain (which is not likely)and causes a major rift among the Republicans. I will always admire and respect the Clintons for their public service and their courage in the face of much adversity but neither deserves the kind of treatment they are now receiving from the people.

1. Right on! The media is once again deciding for us. And the work she has done for people of
all ages and races through out her life is being trashed and belittled. It is beyond despicable.

2. I agree. Hillary is getting triple-teamed.......
and while her campaign denies poaching delegates, Obama's campaign is showing their thuggishness by doing this:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/18/AR2008021802364.html
snip>>>>>

In an interview Palmer still sounded riled about a few things he had heard about. One of them, reported by the Associated Press, was a private conversation between Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), a Clinton supporter, and Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), one of Obama's national campaign co-chairmen. Both lawmakers are superdelegates. Jackson had asked Cleaver if he wanted to go down in history as someone who prevented an African American from occupying the White House for the first time. Separately, Jackson told the AP that supporting Clinton in districts where Obama won overwhelmingly might place those politicians at risk of a primary challenge. <<<<<snip

But Clinton gets bashed "poaching". Give me a break.

3. They rationalize one thing after another for this guy. His "followers" and the media. Disturbing to
say the least.

4. When she planted that question in the audience, she jumped on
a slippery slope that she will never be able to get off before hitting bottom.

5. You lose me at her dropping out. She needs to fight. She is the better candidate by far.
