1. Are you that insecure that you need to ask a question like this in this obvious anti-Hillary forum?

2. Why do you feel the need to tell me this?
Why not let the facts speak for themselves? That statement was classic Karl Rove. "Don't look at the truth, listen to me instead".

4. Because you're obviously as insecure as it gets. That's why.
Any other questions?

12. Sorry everyone doesn't lie and have hidden agenda's
I guess that's one of the hazards of being around the Clintons and their supporters. You start assuming everyone is like that.

14. Hill is sinking herself. Why help her. Remember how Bill's approval went up each time
the Repos tried to fake outrage over some new bullshit?

Hillary is driving up Obamas popularity, and she is too desperate to even see it.

Just like the Repos were, back during the bullshit impeachment.

This election is all over but for the shouting. Do the math.

I know hope spring eternal, but at some point you gotta cut your losses instead of throwing good money after bad.

See, and I didn't even attack your candidate or you. Just the facts, ma'm.

22. Didn't you ever watch Dragnet? That was Sgt. Joe Friday's tag line. Must be before your time.
Do all Hill supporters have potty mouths, or just those who are still in denial?

Oh well. Fortunately your words don't mean anything, you don't count, and Obama's win is inevitable.

21. No, it's pro Obama!
Just because Obama is favored here 3 or 4 to 1, does not mean all of us that prefer Obama are anti-Hillary.

She is a hell of a lot better than any puke, and she would get my vote.

But I far prefer to give it to Obama, and expect to see his name on the ballot this November. :hi:

3. The one who wins the most pledged delegates.
I support either of them, so long as the Superdelegates don't thwart the electoral will.

13. Well if that is the case, that small minority
Is certainly causing a lot of trouble and destruction on this board.

15. I can't wait for tommorow night. If Obama can pull off another big win we might be done.
Then again, maybe they want to stay in until the 4th to cover Hills personal loan, keep the contributions coming in from the people who haven't bothered to do the math.

16. It IS done. I don't see how Hillary can catch up....
No way the "super delegates" will flop over the popular vote. No way that's going to happen, and if you look at the polls going forward, Hillary would have to start pulling like 80% victories...

Obama's got it won. No way Hillary's going to do a "Bush 2000" style victory over Obama

I agree with TPM, as he puts it together:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bTDrmIlRgo">TPMtv: '08 Roundup: Episode #12 Skip to 1:50 for the analysis.

This is why I really don't understand the vitriol against Hillary defenders. It's just not going to happen, and I think that Obama supporters should start acting like good winners...

17. Yeah, I get your point. The problem is we have to sit through these daily "new"
faux outrages, we have to have some Clinton campaign surrogate come up with some new law suit or rule change they are floating, contemplating, testing, etc.

If Hill would just concede like a gracious loser than we could congratulate her on a hard fought campaign like gracious winners.

While the race is still officially undecided, Hill is publicly bashing our nominee over BS.

So it makes it much more difficult than it has to be.

24. I don't think the SuperDelegates will go along, however...
Simply, Hillary thinks like a lawyer, and whatever's *LEGAL* is "OK", literally by the book.

But I don't believe that thinking is going to WORK here.

As the guy on TPM said (again, about 1:50 in the link above) there are too many SuperDelegates who haven't declared who they're going to vote for. Why? The main obvious reason is that they're waiting to see how the popular vote is going to go, along with the other reasons he cites. (fund raising, campaigning, polling against McCain, etc)

She may TRY, I agree, especially if the popular vote is very close, even so, I just don't see the Super Delegates tearing the party apart for HILLARY, of all people, IF she doesn't even have a majority of Democrats behind her...
