Good grief -- there are new "Obama having trouble w/ Clinton voters" stories out today.
I won't link to them, because they are not worthy of any traffic, but is anyone else catching these new AP "stories" today? This is getting relay tiring, and annoying. It never ceases to amaze me how badly the media wants to manufacture this story.

Seriously, enough is enough.

1. The AP is a shill for right wing cranks. They're trying to make trouble where it doesn't exist.
Though the Clintons in Ohio this week will help expand Obama's demographic.

His numbers have been fairly flat since early March, but it looks like they're starting to move.

2. which almost makes me wonder if the Clinton statements on Letterman
were another setup by the Obama campaign, planned ahead. They are very good at that, setting up something for the media to play with then coming in for the kill.

just speculatin' y'know.

15. Yes and that is not the same thing as supporting Obama.
Supporting America is a good thing but Bill would have been mad as *ell if Obama gave Hill the same treatment.

8. I think he was much more in favor of Obama. My point was that he was deliberately

being coy in collusion with the campaign.

No way he wants a Republican in the White House ,

edited to add:

somebody said this about him when he was President:

'Like Theodore Roosevelt, he wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral'

and we all know he is the Master of Dissembling.... so while the remarks were not what we want him to say on Letterman, they were not pointedly supportive of any Republicans and don't forget that every time Joe or Obama mention the opponent, they preface with the respect comment, which totally defuses it as a campaign point for McSame.

Still think it is part of Obama's master plan, somehow. :tinfoilhat:

3. There is some truth to this so we may as well face it.
If you saw Bill's performance on David Letterman last night then you will agree that he hardly 'heartily' endorses Obama'. Add this to the fact that the feet on the ground in Ohio are still encountering Hill people who are voting for McKiller. I have witnessed this myself.

7. They tried the same thing a few days ago with racists losing the election for Obama.
But it is true that most polls shows McCain winning more Dems than Obama wins Reublicans. But that doesn't mean they have to be Clinton supporters.

12. NO HE DIDN"T!!!!!!!!
Do you really think that infighting in the Democratic party is going to help us with 6 weeks left before the election.

I was a Clinton supporter, as I've said in previous posts, who VOWED I would never vote for Obama. NEVER! That is until I pulled my head out of my ass and realized I was going to support the nominee who believed in the principles I believe in.

Does anyone posting this anti-Clinton stuff on here realize what they are doing? Or maybe you do and that is intentional.

The fact that this board is filled with posts today bashing Clinton and supporting Chris Rock defending that vile animal Michael Vick makes me want to hurl.

Posters like you are all of the "Party Unity My Ass" people, as you should be, so maybe you should follow your own advice. Bill Clinton is a Democrat and an important and decent one at that!!!!!!!!!!!!

16. No it's not absurd
I supported Clinton in the primaries. Now I 100% support Obama.
Bitching about the Clintons right now is akin to those idiot PUMAs.
We are all on the same side and draggins any Dem in the mud isn't going to help us.
I believe in Party unity.
