Your bet in the Kentucky derby has died after coming second to the Big Brown
Your Second Grade Report Card was leaked from White House documents. The report shows that you had flunked Mathematics . No wonder you hesitate to see that the math/stat is heavily against your prospect for the candidacy. It's virtually impossible for you to win from here on.
What's more:
1) Former senator George McGovern -- your staunch supporter -- switching his endorsement from you to Obama saying "It's time to quit"
2) Looming financial state of your campaign.
don't look rosy at all and if that's not enough,
Mark my words--within the next couple of weeks, most of the remaining (some 280) Super-delegates will sway towards Obama, forcing you to take an exit from the race anyhow. Florida and Michigan cannot be resurrected.
It's time to show some grace, beautiful lady. Get out of the way and let the big brown take on the old man
I guess it's not me or you who can say what is fair and unfair to Hillary. We can simply put our opinion.
I guess those who can vote (American people) will vote and show who is the most fair candidate to them. Whatever the outcome is, is fair and the opposite is unfair.
However as a person there are lots of things as I mentioned above, that I really admire about her.
pacifier, she won't take the offer to run as VP (if she is offered that is). last i heard, the likely candidates, if Obama was to win the nominations, were Kansas and Arizona Governors (both women).
sampada, McCain certainly has loads of experience and a cross-over appeal as well. If he wins, he would make a better president than Bush in my opinion (but then if pitted against Bush, anyone can potentially fare better than him for that matter ), but his adamant stance on continuing with the war is not gonna help his cause -- not when the country is under humongous burden of economic recession. people are looking for change as is shown by the trend in these primaries already.
spring, michigan and florida cannot be included simply because when primaries were held in those states, candidates were not even ready (Obama was not). Heck in most of the counties, Hillary was the sole candidate running. Now having come this far (time-wise), and spent billions already, it wouldn't be of greater interest and advantage for the democratic party to hold another rounds of primaries in those states especially and more importantly when the general trend of voting in the rest of the country has shown that Obama is the better choice.
and yeah, hillary is a potential women president who, in my observation, is equivalent to any other men presidents we have seen so far clad in woman's outfit (talk of change and and the idea of electing the first woman president)
Time and again, the wish of the voters has been reflected in the
outcome of the primaries (even if you don't consider the delegate
counts) -Obama is the undisputed Democratic nominee. It's time for the party to get together and seal the deal for it is in the party's interest as well.
I
had a dream that a black man (or any non-white) will go to the White
House and sit on the head of each meeting table. Lo and behold, it
seems the time is already ripe.
Hillary/Obama
will not accept the VP offer? Come on let's get real. Which
presidential candidate will be stupid enough to accept the VP offer
even before the race is over for that candidate? If the candidate will
accept that offer outright then he/she is not even fit to run. Please
ask that question again after nominee (D) is decided and only then you might get
the true answer.
As I have always been mentioning, these three
candidates appear to be unusually promising and even Warren Buffet cannot agree more. (Needless to say, any candidate would be better than
the current- the W.) Now speaking of McCain, he too has a great
prospect of being elected. His stance on the economy and the war needs
to be re-aligned to suit the voters expectations between now and
November. Not only that if he picks his VP based on who emerges out as
the Democratic opponent then McCain has a great probability of
succeeding as well. Bottom line is : whoever out of the three gets
elected, we shall all release a great sigh of relief when Bush exits. Thanks God, the Bushes has no more children to run for President,
as least for now.
Why so much oppose Hillary for being Bill's
wife. Bill left an overall positive legacy with world peace, extended economic boom etc unlike W Bush, upon attacking Saddam Hussein's Iraq, who
reminded of the banal Hindi cinema dialog "..Dus saal pehle tum ne mera
pitaji ka khoon karne ki koshis ki ab tum tadap tadak ke maroge..."
If you are still despising the Clintons, then the next para is especially for you.
Here is what bumper sticker on a redneck's truck read during the lowest points of the Iraq war "No one died when Clinton lied"
Sampada,
Yes ma'am, that was what I was doing like you did, putting forward our opinion. I ,too, agree with what you said about her,She's strong ,smart and all. Then why should one gutsy, strong,capable individual be overshadowed by the last name she carries with her?. That's all.
Loote, that's the story after they took the decision.If DNC had problem with that they shouldn't have allowed to even vote at all.
Timely but rude love letter for Hillary. May be Obama can make a lovelier request.
Even with Florida and Michigan votes counted, Hillary will be behind in both delegates and popular vote count. Moreover, she was a single contestant in Michigan.
Whatever, she will give up before the end of June. She did say she will be behind the nominee whoever it is. She knew what she was talking about when she said that.
Also, she will thankfully accept the offer for Vice President if Obama makes one. The bad thing for her is the more cynical she becomes of Obama, the lesser the chance of such offer. I wish she becomes the first women President but only after Obama.
Time to throw in the Towel Hillery Dahling !!! Or your political life might end up like Barbaro or Eight Belles. Only Miracle from "History of the World" can save her now.
Guys Dont say bad about the John McCain. He is the "Maverick" and no maverick can be bad. Beside he is the truest maverick. He doesnt do what is politically correct , he just cares about the people. You know that everybody thinks he is old right; but since he is the truest Maverick, he keeps on aging. Won't getting younger would be politically correct? Unlike Hillary and Obama who do anything to appease poeople he doesnt care unless if it is far right evangelical votes.
Dear Hillary is Hillary-ous sometimes. Now she is coming out saying that the reason she is on the race is because white Americans want her and Obama is losing white votes.
How in the world Obama is winning if he is losing white votes? I think the only reason she is STILL on the race and her ONLY hope that can save her is some Reverend Wright type of controversy.
It is another lie. It is Obama, who is bringing all races together, thus winning, not Hillary, who has lost huge black votes.
I think she should be more cautious before making such remarks, for this remark is not going to be as cheap gimmick as the so called "gas-tax holiday."
I think she has made Barack Obama a stronger candidate and for that she deserves a big thank you. I hope she finds a way to gracefully exit the race at a time of her choosing.
Clinton has too larger an ego to run as VP under the same ticket with Obama. Obama has clearly indicated (at least few months ago) that he wouldn't run for VP if Clinton was to win the nomination. So I don't see the prospect of Obama/Clinton ticket and the Clinton/Obama ticket seems to be out of question anyways from where we stand today.
If you ask me, someone like Richardson (who has a stronger hispanic voters' base) would be a much better and smarter choice as a running mate for Obama.
There is no doubt that Clinton is waiting to see if some drama (like Rev. Wright's fiasco) happens over the next few weeks (before the last round of primaries). There is no other way she is going to make it from here on. Oh well, unless Obama slips off his bathtub one of these fine days.
Hell, if the crossover voting ("operation chaos" encouraged by the conservative radio host Limbaugh) hadn't taken place, Indiana would have easily won by Obama in the first place.
Rohitgrg, I don't deny it was rude. That's my flair for someone who deserves to be treated like that.
The New Republic Go Already!
by Jonathan Chait Hillary Clinton, fratricidal maniac. Post Date Thursday, March 06, 2008
The morning after Tuesday's primaries, Hillary Clinton's campaign
released a memo titled "The Path to the Presidency." I eagerly dug into
the paper, figuring it would explain how Clinton would obtain the
Democratic nomination despite an enormous deficit in delegates.
Instead, the memo offered a series of arguments as to why Clinton
should run against John McCain--i.e., "Hillary is seen as the one who
can get the job done"--but nothing about how she actually could. Is she
planning a third-party run? Does she think Obama is going to die? The
memo does not say.
The reason it doesn't say is that Clinton's path
to the nomination is pretty repulsive. She isn't going to win at the
polls. Barack Obama has a lead of 144 pledged delegates. That may not
sound like a lot in a 4,000-delegate race, but it is. Clinton's Ohio
win reduced that total by only nine. She would need 15 more Ohios to
pull even with Obama. She isn't going to do much to dent, let alone
eliminate, his lead.
That
means, as we all have grown tired of hearing, that she would need to
win with superdelegates. But, with most superdelegates already
committed, Clinton would need to capture the remaining ones by a margin
of better than two to one. And superdelegates are going to be extremely
reluctant to overturn an elected delegate lead the size of Obama's. The
only way to lessen that reluctance would be to destroy Obama's general
election viability, so that superdelegates had no choice but to hand
the nomination to her. Hence her flurry of attacks, her oddly qualified
response as to whether Obama is a Muslim ("not as far as I know"), her
repeated suggestions that John McCain is more qualified.
Clinton's justification for this strategy
is that she needs to toughen up Obama for the general election-if he
can't handle her attacks, he'll never stand up to the vast right-wing
conspiracy. Without her hazing, warns the Clinton memo, "Democrats may
have a nominee who will be a lightening rod of controversy." So
Clinton's offensive against the likely nominee is really an act of
selflessness. And here I was thinking she was maniacally pursuing her
slim thread of a chance, not caring--or possibly even hoping,
with an eye toward 2012-that she would destroy Obama's chances of
defeating McCain in the process. I feel ashamed for having suspected
her motives.
Still,
there are a few flaws in Clinton's trial-by-smear method. The first is
that her attacks on Obama are not a fair proxy for what he'd endure in
the general election, because attacks are harder to refute when they
come from within one's own party. Indeed, Clinton is saying almost
exactly the same things about Obama that McCain is: He's inexperienced,
lacking in substance, unequipped to handle foreign policy. As TheWashington Monthly's
Christina Larson has pointed out, in recent weeks the nightly newscasts
have consisted of Clinton attacking Obama, McCain attacking Obama, and
then Obama trying to defend himself and still get out his own message.
If Obama's the nominee, he won't have a high-profile Democrat
validating McCain's message every day.
Second,
Obama can't "test" Clinton the way she can test him. While she likes to
claim that she beat the Republican attack machine, it's more accurate
to say that she survived with heavy damage. Clinton is a wildly
polarizing figure, with disapproval ratings at or near 50 percent. But,
because she earned the intense loyalty of core Democratic partisans,
Obama has to tread gingerly around her vulnerabilities. There is a big
bundle of ethical issues from the 1990s that Obama has not raised
because he can't associate himself with what partisan Democrats (but
not Republicans or swing voters) regard as a pure GOP witch hunt.
What's
more, Clinton has benefited from a favorable gender dynamic that won't
exist in the fall. (In the Democratic primary, female voters have
outnumbered males by nearly three to two.) Clinton's claim to being a
tough, tested potential commander-in-chief has gone almost
unchallenged. Obama could reply that being First Lady doesn't qualify
you to serve as commander-in-chief, but he won't quite say that,
because feminists are an important chunk of the Democratic electorate.
John McCain wouldn't be so reluctant.
Third,
negative campaigning is a negative-sum activity. Both the attacker and
the attackee tend to see their popularity drop. Usually, the victim's
popularity drops farther than the perpetrator's, which is why negative
campaigning works. But it doesn't work so well in primaries, where the
winner has to go on to another election.
Clinton's
path to the nomination, then, involves the following steps: kneecap an
eloquent, inspiring, reform-minded young leader who happens to be the
first serious African American presidential candidate (meanwhile
cementing her own reputation for Nixonian ruthlessness) and then win a
contested convention by persuading party elites to override the results
at the polls. The plan may also involve trying to seat the Michigan and
Florida delegations, after having explicitly agreed that the results
would not count toward delegate totals. Oh, and her campaign has
periodically hinted that some of Obama's elected delegates
might break off and support her. I don't think she'd be in a position
to defeat Hitler's dog in November, let alone a popular war hero.
Some
Clinton supporters, like my friend (and historian) David Greenberg,
have been assuring us that lengthy primary fights go on all the time
and that the winner doesn't necessarily suffer a mortal wound in the
process. But Clinton's kamikaze mission is likely to be unusually
damaging. Not only is the opportunity cost--to wrap up the nomination,
and spend John McCain into the ground for four months--uniquely high,
but the venue could not be less convenient. Pennsylvania is a swing
state that Democrats will almost certainly need to win in November, and
Clinton will spend seven weeks and millions of dollars there making the
case that Obama is unfit to set foot in the White House. You couldn't
create a more damaging scenario if you tried.
Imagine in 2000, or 2004, that George W. Bush faced a primary fight that came down to Florida (his
November must-win state). Imagine his opponent decided to spend seven
weeks pounding home the theme that Bush had a dangerous plan to
privatize Social Security. Would this have improved Bush's chances of
defeating the Democrats? Would his party have stood for it?

And heres one, slightly on the lighter side, about how one woman sees Hillary's last days. The contrarian in me always finds it interesting to see someone speak outside the demographic boxes the media puts people into. Enjoy!
Everything I Hate About Myself I See in Hillary, by Judy Bachrach
EDITOR’S NOTE: Judy Bachrach writes for Vanity Fair, and is the creator of thecheckoutline.org, an online advice column for friends and relatives of the terminally ill.
When I was 25 (okay, 32), I got dumped by my first untrue love. He’d
fallen, six years into our relationship, for his next-door neighbor, a
really pretty actress with the IQ of an asparagus and the ability to fill many a conversational lull with tributes to liposuction. But I digress.
The point is what happened after I got dumped. There was
no stopping me. I wrote the guy letters. Long ones. I wrote articles,
nominally on other topics, but really about him and the way he dumped
me. These, unfortunately, got published. I phoned him in the pathetic
hope of raising my stock by trashing his new girlfriend, along with the
caliber of the movies in which she very, very briefly appeared. This
was, as you will likely surmise, amazingly easy to do and also totally
ineffective. I didn’t – couldn’t — let go of a guy who exchanged me for
a moron, and I can’t believe these many years later that I’m telling
you all this because the memory of my mortifying, excruciating almost
erotic attachment to stone-cold failure haunts me to this day.
I was, in other words, simply a younger version of Hillary Rodham
Clinton. I simply could not get out of the race, even though, let’s
face it, the race was over.
What can I say? Everything I hate about myself I see in Hillary. It’s
not the stuff you might suspect, either. Hillary’s self-absorption; her
sense that the election is not about Iraq or defaulted mortgages or
Wall Street piggery, or her;
her Bosnian strolls down memory lane; her long and eventful
relationship with Bill — this is why much of the press dislikes her,
maybe with reason. But not me.
I don’t even hate Hillary because she screwed up health care. Frankly,
anyone can screw up health care. It’s the other aspects of Hillary that
make me squirm. To put it bluntly: they are uncomfortably familiar.
What kills me is the way Hillary deals with men other than her husband,
especially powerful men. Whenever Hillary thinks Obama is onto
something – a phrase, say, or even a piece of rhetoric, however tedious
– she doesn’t do what most politicians do: which is to, say, challenge
it. No, what Hillary does is fiddle with a syllable or two and then
appropriate the last thing that pops out of her rival’s mouth as though
it were her own (Yes weWILL!!).
Whenever Hillary hears a new idea, however stupid – ‘Let’s suspend the
federal gas tax for the entire summer, and to hell with the laws of
supply and demand! Let’s authorize Bush to take military action in Iraq
and sit back and see what happens!’ – she grabs it, devours it, and
calls it her own.
Then, if some new powerful guy comes along and disputes the very
strategy she’s adopted from a previous powerful guy – like, oh, let’s
say, maybe Obama might come along and dispute the wisdom of our
military presence in Iraq — Hillary will turn around and repudiate
every previous position in order to espouse that one too. In fact
she’ll say she completely regrets “the way the president used the
authority.” Like she never gave it up, panting and groaning.
I know I’m not supposed to talk about her that way, as though she were
a groupie groveling before a rock star. I’m supposed to, as a close
friend recently suggested, “understand that Hillary has to pander.” But
you know what? One of the wonderful things about getting older is that
you can actually stop pandering, and make your decisions clear-eyed,
without reference to gender.
"No, what Hillary does is fiddle with a syllable or two and then
appropriate the last thing that pops out of her rival’s mouth as though
it were her own (Yes weWILL!!)."
She fails miserably against the Obama "cult " to prove originality of the substance. Very ironic read captain, and I second the thoughts provided here by but I still feel she would settle with VP unless otherwise proven.
I think she is too much of an ambitious lady and do what ever it takes to walk down 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and in other words she is pretty desperate!!
