She's delusional. Obama has shown that he is not afraid to show what an addled fool McCain is. He will beat McCain like drum.

1. She's praying white people won't vote for the black guy
and telling anyone who will listen that's the case.

3. Again, with the race card. How is "Vote For Me Or You're A Bigot!" going to beat McCain?
Honestly, the BO followers need to learn a new song.

6. watch the video
what he says about white voters. her campaign is the one playing the race card.

"what shes trying to say is that the exit polls show that white voters are turning against obama..." (paraphrasing)

did you watch the video before commenting?

15. obviously she is not going to come out and say
"white americans won't vote for obama because he is black" but her campaign is doing a fantastic job of spreading the word isn't it?

Surprising that you can type that with a straight hand.

23. Playing "Clinton's Idiotic vote in October 2002" card
Can the Hillary Rodham-Rodham folks explain this vote??? a minor mistake, perhaps?

Or the tall tale about Tuzla - a complete fiction almost?

2. McCain and Rove will destroy poor little Barack.
Nominating BO is surrendering the Whitehouse to the GOP for another 8 years.

4. Why will Barack lose MP?
Since you just claimed it's not because he's black.

Why can't he beat a weak candidate like McCain? After all, he's doing a number on your candidate, Senator Sniperfire, isn't he?

11. Bill Clinton was at 70% during the impeachment....
...and 68% upon leaving office, numbers that prove he had wide approval even from a lot of republicans, hardly "Destroyed."

14. Saying that all you want.
Won't make it true.

Much like creating stories about snipers doesn't actually erase the memories of the people who handed you the flowers.

:P

18. Did you Hillary supporters forget
The Obama is a Chicago politicain and Chicago politicains know every dirty trick and the book and play them effectivly. The John McCain will have the same chance as a Republican running for Mayor in Chiacgo after Obama is done with him without resorting to dirty politics. If Obama do go dirty against McCain, McCain won't be able to win an election for local dog catcher.

16. It's a matter of opinion
Hillary has done some mindbogglingly dumb things recently, but she's not quite at the point where she would state something to that effect. Putting the words in her mouth is a potshot in the dark.

Now... someone may have the same opinion, since opinions are free and all. However, one would be daft to form his opinion based on that opinion. That's when you cross the line between forming opinions based on your own observation and just being a trumpet.

I have no love for HRC myself, but come on.. That's a stretch.

17. SHE is delusional? Like a drum? What are YOU smoking? I am sure it
will feel great to nominate Obama but I am almost equally sure he WILL lose to McCain while she does have a good chance to win. Yet I guess I am resigned now -- but your total denial of reality out there is insulting to my intelligence. The GE is not run in caucuses; and his campaign won't be able to claim -- like they are in Texas -- that they won even though they lost the primary because they got most delegates in the caucus. Give me a break.

20. The electability argument makes no sense to me.
She doesn't have support among independents and disaffected Republicans. Those are going to be the deciding votes in the GE. Among those groups she has high negatives.

21. Does Mrs. Clinton have a sense of irony?
One of the reasons I decided to vote for Senator Obama had to do with Senator Clinton's electability: She, not Senator Obama, is the most likely candidate to crash and burn in November.

Senator Clinton entered the contest with highest negatives of any candidate in either party. Whether it's right or wrong, there are some people who really hate this woman, and I do mean hate. These aren't people who who, like most Obama supporters here, hold her responsible for her votes on the IWR and the Kyl-Lieberman resolution and her support for NAFTA; these are people who really are afraid of a strong, independent woman or are convinced she and Bill are behind dozens of murders, such as Vince Foster's. After that, we can start talking about the real skeletons in her closet. She hasn't helped her own cause recently with the resume padding over her trip to the Balkans. That hurt her much more than the Wright matter hurt Senator Obama. There are many people who will not vote for her, can be more easily convinced not to vote for her and, even if she is elected, will not be led by her.

Nevertheless, just because Hillary Clinton isn't electable doesn't mean Senator Obama is. If she has a real problem here, she should present it in a straightforward manner. She isn't going to get the nomination; her recent divisive tactics have probably assured that she will never be seriously considered for the Democratic nomination now or any time in the future. She should no longer be presenting her case against Senator Obama as a case for her, but as a case for an open convention that will nomi9nate a compromise candidate.

22. ANYONE COULD BEAT JOHN "THE REPUBLICAN" MCCAIN
just so long as we continue to keep the name JOHN "the republican" MCCAIN linked together

his people have been clever to avoid the association...

JOHN (omit the REPUBLICAN part) MCCAIN....

---------hillary might as well go take a break...

26. Oh. I see.
Her persistence is out of an altruistic concern for the Democratic party. She's afraid Obama can't win against McCain, so it's up to her to save us from another 4 or more year Republican Rule. She's always been so selfless. That was apparent when she supported Kyl-Lieberman. :eyes:
