Well, Hillary's Kitchen Sink, Swiftboating branding Mr Obama as a racist, American hating fanatical Muslim HAS NOT WORKED has it? Hillary should have been well out in front at least 20 points if it had mattered to the voters. Voters are not as stupid as she thinks.

Ms Hillary's campaign advisors have failed her and although along with their GOP friends have tried every trick in the book to down Obama. AND GUESS WHAT HE IS STILL UP THERE IN THE POLLS!

11. when did he shout?
it is obvious that the Clinton campaign wants people in PA who are white to know that Obama is very black. Even the governor had said that.

3. People just like Barack and Michelle more than they like Hillary and Bill.
That's why he's winning.

I think Hillary's big mistake was ANNOUNCING her kitchen sink strategy. Who in the hell thought that was a good idea?

6. Gee, I guess not providing links means you're just right wing talk radio...
...just blaring your opinions without backing them up because you like to hear yourself over and over.

7. Hillary tried to use the Wright controversy to her advantage with the superdelegates
Edited on Sat Mar-22-08 11:18 AM by rocknation
without mentioning that she had a tie to Wright of her own.

In 1998, Bill invited around 100 ministers to a prayer breakfast at the White House in hopes of offsetting the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Rev. Wright was one of them: he got photographed with Bill, and received a signed thank-you note from him. No big deal, really--except that the Hillary camp never mentioned it. Why not?

If nothing was wrong with Rev. Wright, why not step forward and defend him, especially if the controversy was Rethug-generated? And if something WAS wrong with Rev. Wright, how do they explain his presence at the Clinton White House? It just so happens that Hillary has been trying to use the Wright controversy as leverage against Obama with the superdelegates, but that's probably just a coincidence...along with Bill Richardson's last-minute endorsement of Obama. The superdelegates aren't stupid, either--most of them have to re-apply for THEIR jobs in November as well.

By the way, Hillary will have to win all of the remaining primaries/caucuses by at least 30 points to justify remaining in the race until the Dem convention.

10. You would have thought Bill Clinton would have thanked Wright for help after Lewinsky
You would have thought Bill would have stood by Wright.
