Hillary Supporters: Move Through This and Fight .
Just like Hillary is doing.SHE has not given up.

There is a debate coming up,she is focused on Texas and Ohio where she remains ahead.You see the Obama people still worried that she will somehow "make a comeback" and "steal" this from him.

They KNOW how tough and strong she is,that is WHY they are so vicious toward her.They KNOW Texas and Ohio are hers to lose.They KNOW the Party Leaders might just recognize that Obama is a Joe Lieberman and not good for the Party and may start Endorsing/pledging their delegates to her as this goes along.

Obama has capitulated on every Progressive issue sans the one that he didn't have to vote on:Iraq War.Everything since he has equivocated on..There is NOTHING about his record that speaks of anything extraordinary much less bold leadership.Nothing.

Hillary is still fighting because she cares too much about America and where this country is headed and Obama Is.Not.Qualified.

Even his words are a second hand re run from a man that has done nothing extraordinary in Massachusetts after being elected there on this same campaign.That is WHY Mass. went to Hillary even with Ol' Kennedy and Kerry stumping hard for Obama there!

Yes,it's a hard but God Damn SO WHAT? Nothing Worth Fighting for Ever Comes Easy.Hillary knows that.She is still standing as she always has been and always will be.

She will fight for this Nomination just as hard as she will Fight for a Progressive Agenda as President of The United States of America.Be Proud of her and have the confidence SHE DOES.Move through this latest set back and FIGHT.

Personally,I couldn't do anything less at this point.I implore you to Fight.Donate to her Campaign so she CAN fight to win.Make phone calls,canvass for her!Obama's followers are fighting for him so you can ask nothing less of yourself if you believe in Hillary Clinton and want to see Her elected President.

If you care about this Country and Want Hillary to be Our Next President do whatever YOU can to make that happen.

We can do this if we do it together.Hillary needs us and I am not about to let MY Hopes and Dreams for America die just because Obama is ahead right now.I'm just not willing to lay down so easily.This is too important.

24. Two weeks but yeah this is exactly how we knew it would go
that being said she is going to have to do really well in the two on March 4th and in Penn.... at this point Obama is closing. We'll see. She needs to get close enough to give the super delegates cover to nominate her OR she could still win outright.

51. Reality Check:
Hillary needs to win 65% of the remaining pledged delegates just to tie Obama. Not only is Obama rapidly expanding the delegate lead, but those super delegates which you are counting are starting to side with Obama by a significant margin - i.e. he has reduced her lead from over 100 to under 70. Obama need to win 65% of the remaining pledged delegates to win the nomination on pledged delegates alone. Hillary simply cannot win it outright.

There is nothing negative about what Katzen said. It's obvious you hate Obama and are using any bullshit justification to continue doing so.

Speak for yourself!!!!
He does not make me proud of anything. I find him to be too smooth to be true, all fluff and little substance. A great salesman or preacher, not necessarily great presidential material. For some reason Jimmy Carter comes to mind.......

14. So your candidate's success now depends on dirt on the opponent?
What a sorry place to be.

Hillary can't win by generating any more supporters for herself.... only by tearing down her opposition.


You're sitting there HOPING that some "scandal" comes along to bring down Obama.

That's all you have left. And it is pathetic.

be common courtesy to zip it. But it seems you only want to rub it in. If you want me to vote for McCain keep it up.

30. Take a look at your own comments. I have.
And I've never seen you write anything positive about your candidate. I'll add that I've written many posts about the qualifications of my candidate- and many critical of him. Oh, and you need a new line. I realize Hilly supporters are lashing out because they know she's getting beaten so badly, but the Messiah line is a little shopworn.

ability to bounce back from defeat, and never under-estimate the Obama's supporters' ability to piss off Clinton's supporters badly enough, so that we fight even harder.

She lost on health care 14 years ago and now she says it will be another 8 years before she can get another healthcare plan together. That's quite the bounce.

And so are the 210 delegates and SD she will get from Florida. There is no way she can lose. We voted, she won, she gets our delegates.

26. Thanks for your words of encouragement!!!
I will stand by her until the end, no matter what they throw at her I'll fight for her. I worked my buns off as a volunteer in NJ to help her win the state and I will go to PA if I'm needed to help get out the vote in April. I also continue donating to her campaign, as I just did today. I don't want her to lose any state just because she's out financed by Obama.

Denial IS more than a river in Egypt.

I'm looking forward to the primary season ending so the democrats can heal up and start focusing on winning in November.

Obama knows that he will need a united and enthusiastic party behind him and will go to great measures to assure that this happens.

When you are ready, we look forward to having you join us as we work toward a better future for the UNITED States of America.

49. Hillary Supporters are even better at completely ignoring 10 straight blow outs
I mean the lowest margin was 17 points. TX and OH are trending the same way every other state has in this election, i.e. large Hillary lead that shrinks rapidly and is usually overcome by Obama as soon as the candidates actually campaign in the states. Even states where Hillary won, i.e. CA and MA - this was the trend, although Obama basically ran out of time in those states.

So Go ahead and keep fighting, as it were, but at some point reality has to sink in and we need to come together if we are going to defeat the real enemy this Fall.
