Obama didn't say...
vote for me because I am black or white but, Hillary is saying vote for me because I am a woman. Neither of these fit the criteria for why I vote for someone. I was for Hillary in the beginning but now, I see that she really does think that she is suppose to be the nominee and she thinks that it is owed to her.

I have tried not to listen to some of the things that were being said about her because I don't think that she is a racist or bigot but this thing of not dropping out as though it is owed to her has caused the party a lot of problems we would not have, she is doing the republiCONS work for them...

1. She has not dropped out because neither she or Obama have reached the magic number.

9. Hillary has won the big states. We need the big states to win in Nov.
If the Obama train gets off track anything can happen.

14. Those big states aren't going red anytime soon.
Whoever is the democratic nominee will win CA and NY.

Peel off a few red states, and you have a victory.

25. Bovine excrement
Hillary won those states against another democrat...apples and oranges. No one can claim that Obama could not win those same states if he ran in the GE against McCain.

Primary and the General election are different. This is a total bullshit argument.

10. She has not dropped out because she is a selfish egotist.
She has lost, yet she continues on as if all that's necessary is to adjust a few rules here and there.

Get lost, Hillary!

26. You don't keep a fight going for selfish reasons if you are hurting your family.
What would it take for you to accept that it's over?

27. What they are doing is trying to make the racists...
take another look and they are hoping that something happens so she can step in,if that was the case I would now like the delegates to choose but someone other than Hillary...

31. We should really be thankful for Obama imagine what America would of gone through without him.
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 04:37 PM by cooolandrew
The highest office is no place for ego but representation his campaign speaks in support of ordinary folk and that's good enough for me had it been a candidate male/female saying the same things they would be my pick.. America needs a president with the people, than talking down to the people. The overall factor is tha Obama feels like he is with us than against us, overturning votes would be against us.
