Why can't Hillary seal the deal? She was the front runner for a long long time.

In August she had a commanding lead over every democratic candidate in PA.

What happened? Now she's mathematically eliminated and still thinking there's a "surge" of support.

Her campaign mimics the Iraq war, in many ways. She has been losing all along, yet she acts like she's winning. She's sure to lose if she plays by the rules, yet she goes on assuming she can change the rules.

Did her lawyers craft a signing statement that she signed when she decided to run?

Bush build his Presidency on winning by any means necessary. Perhaps winning with dignity and honor are more important to me.

Barack Obama offers a change from the politics of "any means necessary kitchen sink strategy". He's had plenty of opportunities to dig the knife in deep and twist it, considering Hillary and Bill have left a trail of political garbage to dig through a mile wide. He just won't do it, because he really wants us all to talk about issues, rather than gotchas.

I wish this would end. Hillary's only strategy to win, judging by her actions, is to continue to destroy this fine man who does not deserve to be treated like that from fellow Democrats. Come the general election, I'm sure he's expecting it, but from Hillary? I find it completely and utterly disgusting.

With her as our candidate, I will have to pick the lesser of two evils with Hillary as our nominee, and obviously that's Hillary, because of her ideology.

I would love to pull the lever for someone I actually like as a candidate, instead of the best of the two poor choices.

I would proudly, and with great joy, pull the lever for Obama.

1. The Difference Between Illusion and Reality

Some people have a hard time dealing with reality.

When nobody else is running, it's easy to be the front runner. And if the MSM keeps the illusion "that nobody else is running" going, you can win. But the illusion isn't holding, because the MSM is losing! About time, too.

Did you kiss your internet provider this morning?

2. Yes, I'm grateful every day for DU, Think Progress, KOS, Huffington, and TPM.

and the long long list of other sites

8. They have totally jumped ships ...

and have successfully joined ranks, with the aid of the MSM, as republicans ... Up is down, down is up ...

The candidate who is the spouse of a popular two term president, who has basically been running for this election for 15 years, who was heavily favored to win this nonination for over a year and a half up until it actually started, who supposedly was going to have it wrapped up on Super Tuesday ...

And, somehow the meme is that OBAMA is the one who can't put HER away ???

[cosmicsheep]

3. Amen

[karynnj]

4. Also her planning mimiced Bush's

She had no plan B, if plan A, clinching on February 5th failed. Since then her planning has seemed to concentrate on tripping Obama.

7. Because the more people learn about Obama,

the more popular he becomes and which converts into delegates.

[Kesaco]

9. Because of the Obama phenomenon.......

as time goes on, he is becoming just another politician. Very little will ever "Change" in Washington. Some new things can be implemented, but everything else will still be bascially the same as its always been.
