Gallup: Obama lead over Clinton largest this year

Are these the same pollsters who did such a great job predicting New Hampshire?
I usually get called a lot for polling--not ONE phone call this year.
Also--gallup polls ain't how we pick a prez.
Heard of the electoral college?
Also--what's the margin of error for this 'poll?'
What questions were asked? We have a right to know this.
Just more media hackery--hoping to profit from a prolonged dem primary campaign.
shameful.

You can always trust the American people to finally figure things out...well not for the last seven years but...

p.s. I'm glad this Hillary debacle is almost over and we can get on with the job of showing John McCain for what he is. An out of step old fossil.

Clinton has to stay in this race, she has to continue getting campaign donations from her supporters in order to pay off all of the self-made Clinton campaign debts.

"Cash-strapped Clinton fails to pay bills"
By: Kenneth P. Vogel- Politico
March 30, 2008 11:38 AM EST

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s cash-strapped presidential campaign has been putting off paying hundreds of bills for months — freeing up cash for critical media buys but also earning the campaign a reputation as something of a deadbeat in some small-business circles.

A pair of Ohio companies owed more than $25,000 by Clinton for staging events for her campaign are warning others in the tight-knit event production community — and anyone else who will listen — to get their cash upfront when doing business with her. Her campaign, say representatives of the two companies, has stopped returning phone calls and e-mails seeking payment of outstanding invoices. One even got no response from a certified letter.

"Is Hillary broke"?
March 29, 2008
BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist

Scoop du jour? Sneed hears major money problems in the Clinton camp may soon become a coroner knocking on her campaign door.

To wit: Word is the cash feeding into Hillary Clinton's campaign coffers has not only slowed down in a big way, undisclosed campaign debts that have yet to be made public could signal the end and have insiders biting their nails.

"Hillary needs to raise money to stay alive," a top Dem source said.

As long as Hillary has a remote chance, she should stay in. The truth about Obama is only just now beginning to come out. See:

STORY BEHIND THE CLINTON MYTH

One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race: Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning.

Her own campaign acknowledges there is no way that she will finish ahead in pledged delegates. That means the only way she wins is if Democratic super delegates are ready to risk a backlash of historic proportions from the party's most reliable constituency.

Unless Clinton is able to at least win the primary popular vote -- which also would take nothing less than an electoral miracle -- and use that achievement to pressure super delegates, she has only one scenario for victory. An African-American opponent and his backers would be told that, even though he won the contest with voters, the prize is going to someone else.

People who think that scenario is even remotely likely are living on another planet.

As it happens, many people inside Clinton's campaign live right here on Earth. One important Clinton adviser estimated to Politico privately that she has no more than a 10 percent chance of winning her race against Barack Obama, an appraisal that was echoed by other operatives.

In other words: The notion of the Democratic contest being a dramatic cliffhanger is a game of make-believe.

Politico's top editors draw on their experience at the nation's largest news organizations to pull back the curtain on coverage decisions and the media mindset.

Journalists have become partners with the Clinton campaign in pretending that the contest is closer than it really is. Most coverage breathlessly portrays the race as a down-to-the-wire sprint between two well-matched candidates, one only slightly better situated than the other to win in August at the national convention in Denver.

One reason is fear of embarrassment. In its zeal to avoid predictive reporting of the sort that embarrassed journalists in New Hampshire, the media -- including Politico -- have tended to avoid zeroing in on the tough math Clinton faces.

Avoiding predictions based on polls even before voters cast their ballots is wise policy. But that's not the same as drawing sober and well-grounded conclusions about the current state of a race after millions of voters have registered their preferences.

The antidote to last winter's flawed predictions is not to promote a misleading narrative based on the desired but unlikely story line of one candidate.

There are other forces also working to preserve the notion of a contest that is still up for grabs.

One important, if subliminal, reason is self-interest. Reporters and editors love a close race -- it's more fun and it's good for business.

The media are also enamored of the almost mystical ability of the Clintons to work their way out of tight jams, as they have done for 16 years at the national level. That explains why some reporters are inclined to believe the Clinton campaign when it talks about how she's going to win on the third ballot at the Democratic National Convention in August.

That's certainly possible -- and, to be clear, we'd love to see the race last that long -- but it's folly to write about this as if it is likely.

It's also hard to overstate the role the talented Clinton camp plays in shaping the campaign narrative, first by subtly lowering the bar for the performance necessary to remain in the race, and then by keeping the focus on Obama's relationships with a political fixer and a controversial pastor in Illinois.

But even some of Clinton's own advisers now concede that she cannot win unless Obama is hit by a political meteor. Something that merely undermines him won't be enough. It would have to be some development that essentially disqualifies him.

Simple number-crunching has shown the long odds against Clinton for some time.

In the latest Associated Press delegate count, Obama leads with 1,406 pledged delegates to Clinton's 1,249. Obama's lead is likely to grow, as it did with county conventions last weekend in Iowa, as later rounds of delegates are apportioned from caucuses he has already won.

The Democratic Party has 794 super delegates, the party insiders who get to vote on the nomination in addition to the delegates chosen by voters.
According to Politico's latest tally, Clinton has 250 and Obama has 212.
That means 261 are uncommitted, and 71 have yet to be named.

An analysis by Politico's Avi Zenilman shows that Clinton's lead in super delegates has shrunk by about 60 in the past month. And it found Clinton is roughly tied among House members, senators and governors -- the party's most powerful elite.

Clinton had not announced a new super delegate commitment since the March 4 primaries, until the drought was broken recently by Rep. John P. Murtha
(D-Pa.) and West Virginia committeeman Pat Maroney.

Clintonistas continue to talk tough. Phil Singer, the Clinton campaign's deputy communications director, told reporters on a conference call Friday that the Obama campaign "is in hot water" and is "seeing the ground shift away from them."

Mark Penn, the campaign's chief strategist, maintained that it's still "a hard-fought race between two potential nominees" and that other factors could come into play at the convention besides the latest delegate tally -- "the popular vote, who will have won more delegates from primaries [as opposed to caucuses], who will be the stronger candidate against McCain."

But let's assume a best-case scenario for Clinton, one where she wins every remaining contest with 60 percent of the vote (an unlikely outcome since she has hit that level in only three states so far -- her home state of New York, Rhode Island and Arkansas).

Even then, she would still be behind Obama in delegates.

There are 566 pledged delegates up for grabs in upcoming contests. Those delegates come from Pennsylvania (158), Guam (4) North Carolina (115), Indiana (72), West Virginia (28), Kentucky (51), Oregon (52), Puerto Rico (55), Montana (16) and South Dakota (15).

If Clinton won 60 percent of those delegates, she would get 340 delegates to Obama's 226. Under that scenario -- and without revote in Michigan and Florida -- Obama would still lead in delegates by 1,632 to 1,589.

The only remote possibility of a win in delegates would come if revote were held in Florida and Michigan -- which, again, would take a political miracle.
If Clinton won 60 percent of the delegates in both states, she would win 188 delegates and Obama would win 125. Clinton would then lead among pledged delegates, 1,777 to 1,757.

The other elephant in the room for Clinton is that Obama is almost certain to win North Carolina, with its high percentage of African-American voters, and also is seen as extremely strong in Oregon.

Harold Ickes, an icon of the Democratic Party who is Clinton's chief delegate strategist, points out that every previous forecast about this race has been faulty.

Asked about the Obama campaign's contention that it's mathematically impossible for Clinton to win, Ickes replied: "They can't count. At the end of it, even by the Obama campaign's prediction, neither candidate will have enough delegates to be nominated."

This is true, as a matter of math. But even the Clinton campaign's own best-case scenario has her finishing behind Obama when all the nominating contests are over.

"She will be close to him but certainly not equal to him in pledged delegates," a Clinton adviser said. "When you add the super delegates on top of it, I'll think she'll still be behind him somewhat in total delegates -- but very, very close."

The total gap is likely to be 75 to 110, the adviser said.

That means Clinton would need either some of those pledged delegates to switch their support -- which technically they can do, though it would be unlikely -- or for the white-dominated group of super delegates to join forces with her to topple Obama.

To foster doubt about Obama, Clinton supporters are using a whisper and pressure campaign to make an 11th-hour argument to party insiders that he would be a weak candidate in November despite his superior standing at the moment.

"All she has left is the electability argument," a Democratic official said.
"It's all wrapped around: Is there something that makes him ultimately unelectable?"

But the audience for that argument, the super delegates, will not easily overturn the will of the party's voters. And in fact, a number of heavyweight Democrats are looking at the landscape and laying the groundwork to dissuade Clinton from trying to overturn the will of the party rank and file.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has not endorsed either candidate, appears to be among them. She told Bloomberg Television that super delegates should "respect for what has been said by the people." And she told ABC's "This Week" that it would be "harmful to the Democratic Party" if super delegates overturn the outcome of elections.

A Democratic strategist said that given the unlikelihood of prevailing any other way, Clinton now must "scare" super delegates "who basically just want to win."

The strategist said Clinton aides are now relying heavily on the controversy over Obama's retiring minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, to sow new seeds of doubt.

"This issue is the first thing that's come along that I think is potentially fatal to his electability argument," the strategist said.

"They're looking ahead and saying: Is it possible this thing is just going to drip, drip, drip, drip -- more video? Where does that leave us if he's our presumptive nominee and he's limping into the convention and the Republicans are just ready to go on him, double-barreled?"

The strategist also said Clinton's agents are making more subtle pitches.

"I've heard people start to say: Have you looked at the vote in Ohio really carefully? See how that breaks down for him. What does that portend?" said the strategist. "Then they point to Pennsylvania: In electoral important battleground states, if he is essentially only carrying heavy African-American turnout in high-performing African-American districts and the Starbucks-sipping, Volvo-driving liberal elite, how does he carry a state like Pennsylvania?"

Her advisers say privately that the nominee will be clear by the end of June. At the same time, they recognize that the nominee probably is clear already.

What has to irk Clintons' aides is that they felt she might finally have him on the ropes, bruised badly by the Wright fight and wobbly in polls. But the bell rang long ago in the minds of too many voters.

Geraldinetoo,

Give it a rest, bruce, you pathetic whiner. You were given the link to the poll, find out the particulars yourself and STFU.

Hillary will NEVER release her tax information. She will DELAY and DELAY. Just wait and see.

Here we go with the excuses again:

Clinton supporteers will say: POLLS DONT MATTER!

Obama supporters will say: Im glad people are starting to see the REAL Hillary

I think the truth is many registered voters dont hate or love either of the candidates as much as us armchair pundits do and see that Hillary's time is coming to an end and they want to move on.

Also her attacks (although fair in my view eventhough Im an Obama supporter) make her look less humanand more coniving and just fall into the Clinton stereotype.

People just want her to move on and try again in 2012 if Obama loses.

the best comment I have heard, so far, in this campaign, is a reference to her, not as a candidate, nor woman, but, as a, "thing" that nobody should vote for.

I want Hillary to stay until after all the primary elections are over. I don't want to listen to her whine all the way to the convention that Obama has circumvented the democratic process and denied "All her people" their right to choose. Oh wait, I forgot. She wants to contest it long after that when the credentials committee doesn't seat Michigan and Florida, her states. Another Obama consipracy to steal the election from her. Compose yourself Hillary. Maybe Bill can get you a job checking in books at the return desk in his library. You won't need to wear a flak jacket on that job.

Hillary Clinton has the right to stay in this race as long as it takes to cast her family legacy down the well. At this point she has turned this into a credibility/beauty contest for superdelegates because she knows she cannot win by any other stretch. She will go to any length to bend the rules her way and damage the party in Nov. while denying her own supporters honesty and transparency.

At this stage in the campaign for democratic nominee race, Hillary Clinton will do a great service if she were to take the magnanimous action of endorsing Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee for white house. This will greatly enhance her prestige across the nation going forward.

Maybe America is ready for some open honesty. Maybe if Hilary went about her campaign as a down-to-earth, honest-to-goodness human being versus the hate-spewing, desperately lying poli-trick-cian she has managed to portray herself as, she might have clinched it back on supertuesday. And her most recent lies of "landing under hostile fire," (claims disputed by everyone else at the scene) are supposedly excused as mistakes made under the claim of campaign pressures...if she cracks under campaign pressure, how will she handle it when faced with the presidential pressure of the most important office in America? In the end, Barack won't be the one to do her in; her own insecurities will.

Its really stupid to see country like USA is dying for two families BUSH, CLINTON and whats even PITY is both are such scumbags (SEX, LIES, TERROR, $6 GAS, 8% APR). One busted Tech economy and the other busted Housing economy.

CLINTON'S PLAN:

1. SENATE to Hillary in exchange for White House S3X

2. 2000, Al Gore was not supported enough by Bill as he is TOO BUSY Cooking a VICTORY for Hillary in exchange for White House S3X

3. 2001, Hillary VOTED for WAR so Bush gets backlash on WAR latter which is usual and can be used for herself

4. 2004, Kerry was not supported early by Clinton or his Wing as Billary had plans for 2008 which succeed only if Bush wins

5. 2008, Billary tried hard and CONCEDED a loss but not PUBLICLY. The plan is to make sure McS(h)ame get the Win so she has 2012 full secured chance as Failure of "YES WE CAN" means Voters of RACES,REGIONS,PARTIES will loose faith and not turnout to vote.

AFTER ALL, THAT IS CLINTON.

Bright side of the story is, if You don't see OBAMA, VOTE McS(h)ame so you don't need to be ASHAMED OF in front of WORLD like BUSH made you.

PLEASE VOTE McS(h)ame for:

1. $6 GAS to each VOTER
2. 100 Years of IRAQ WAR ~ 100,000 Navy Lives 10 Million IRAQIs
3. IRAN WAR
4. AGAIN SETTING UP Dictator rule PAKISTAN
5. Manufacture more DRUGS in AFGHAN and sell to VOTER's KIDS
6. $4 MILK
7. $3 EGGS
8. HOSTILE TAKEOVERS of many COPORATIONS by more ARAB FUNDED COMPANIES
9. LOOSING more CIVIL RIGHTS
10. BURNING MORE WHITE HOUSE DOCUMENTS which are Proofs
11. Terror Planning more of 9/11, Madrid, etc.
12. Again Yellow,Orange,Red Threat Levels in FOX NEWS
13. Releasing Bin Ladens Tapes week before they need FEARED KITTENS
14. AMERICAN IN CLOSET and there will be hardly any country left which is safe for American. A century back, the same American is much respected even in very same Pakistan, Iraq, Iran.
15. Yet, Evengelicals wants to VOTE and eat Bread soaked in BLOOD of Navy and Iraqis.

Not Telling TRUTH to Chelsey about how she let Bill have PLEASURES in front of her.

Of course Clinton's Bosnia tale would have a strong negative effect--HRC's lying or “misspeaking” constitutes a recognizable pattern, and reminds many of the cr*p from the previous Clinton administration.

What’s truly bizarre, though, is that HRC risks lying about “dumb” stuff. She must think she won’t get caught, although when she does get caught, she seems to casually shrug off her “misstatements.” It’s bizarre, almost pathological.

Here are three dumb lies that beg the question: Why would she lie about this relatively inconsequential stuff? And what does that say about her ability to tell the truth about difficult matters?

***Appearing on NBC's DATELINE, Sen. Clinton told Jane Pauley that Chelsea was around the World Trade Center on the morning of Sept. 11th:

"She had gone on what she thought would be a great jog," Hillary Clinton explained. "She was going down to Battery Park, she was going to go around the towers. She was going to get a cup of coffee and - that's when the plane hit!"

Hillary's dramatic story about her daughter's close call with the Twin Towers became a media sensation. "At that moment, she was not just a Senator, but a concerned parent," TODAY show's Katie Couric told viewers on 9/18/2001.
TRUTH: In the Dec/Jan 2002 issue of TALK magazine, Chelsea wrote that she was staying at a friend’s apt in Union Square, 12 blocks away. Her friend called with news about the first plane crashing into the WTC. Chelsea turned on the TV and watched the second plane crash.
"I stared senselessly at the television," Chelsea writes.

****Hillary started claiming she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary after she met him in 1995. Bill Clinton even included this “true” story in his 2004 autobiography. Thing is, HRC was born in 1947, and Edmund Hillary didn’t conquer Mt. Everest until 1953, when HRC was 6 years old.
TRUTH: In October 2006, a campaign aide finally admitted it was not true after all, that it was just a “sweet family story that her mother told her to inspire greatness.” This sweet story, however, had never before been mentioned anywhere.

***On numerous other occasions, including in her Iowa stump speech, Clinton has said, "We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady." And that lead to her being sent to Bosnia and coming under sniper fire.
TRUTH: Well, now we know.

Actually, what hasn’t been covered much are her cascading excuses or “misstatements” about this Bosnia tale, culminating in her saying this to KDKA radio in Pittsburgh on 3/25/08:
“I have written about this and described in many different settings and I did misspeak the other day,” Clinton said during a live 10-minute interview. “This has been a very long campaign….Last week for the first time in 12 years or so, I misspoke.”

Bizarro. No wonder Obama's lead has grown. It's a wonder it's not even bigger.

Why isn't Hillary being vetted over her taxes that she hasn't disclosed yet? Why isn't her "church" getting vetted? Why does she still have more superdelegates when Obama has more pledged delegates? He should have at least as many superdelegates as she does. Why can't they man up and woman up to pledge their support? Don't be afraid of being called "Judas" because HILLARY AND BILL are the JUDADes when they ENDORSED John McCain and said he would be a BETTER CANDIDATE and the only other candidate besides HIllary that LOVED their country - how dare they call anyone else Judas?

OBAMA LIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AD
From NBC/NJ’s Aswini Anburajan
GREENBURG, Pa. -- The Clinton campaign today accused the Obama campaign of "false advertising," claiming that a recent ad Obama released in Pennsylvania was disngenous because Obama has been the recipient of more than $200,000 from the oil and gas industry.
In the ad, Obama says, "I'm Barack Obama, and I don't take money from oil companies or lobbyists, and I won't let them block change any more."
Obama has taken $213,884 from the oil and gas industry as of Feb. 29th, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Sen. Hillary Clinton has taken $306,813 in that same period.
Two of Obama's campaign bundlers are also CEOs for oil and gas companies, per a list released on his campaign Web site.
Robert Cavnar, listed as a bundler who has raised between $50,000 to $100,000 for the campaign, is the chairman and CEO of Mission Resources Corp., a Houston-based firm. George Kaiser, also listed in the same $50,000 to $100,000 category, is the CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Company.
"It's unfortunate that Senator Obama is using false advertising to explain why he can be trusted to do something about energy prices," Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said. "Senator Obama says he doesn't take campaign contributions from oil companies but the reality is that Exxon, Shell, and others are among his donors."

OBAMA WILL NOT COOPERATE IN RELEASING 8 YEARS OF HIS STATE SENATE RECORDS
Judicial Watch: Obama ‘intended to leave no paper trail’
By Klaus Marre

The president of a prominent watchdog group said Wednesday that he believes Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) “intended to leave no paper trail” during his time in the Illinois Senate.



Judicial Watch, which has been seeking access to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) records from her time in the White House, argued Wednesday that the Illinois senator, who has criticized the former first lady for a lack of openness, has his own “records problem.”
“The more we learn about the Illinois Senator, the more obvious it becomes that he is anything but the ethically upright outsider he purports to be,” said Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch.
The group rose to prominence when it repeatedly took on former President Bill Clinton during his time in office. It also sought records from the Bush administration regarding Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy task force.
In a statement, Fitton noted that his group has sought access to Obama’s records as a state senator and questioned whether the presidential candidate has been forthcoming with regard to what happened to those documents.
He said that “nobody knows where they are, if they exist at all” and claimed that “Obama’s story keeps changing.”

I think Hillary should make me a sandwich.

Hot Pastrami on rye, if you please, Hil !

Polls dom't mean nothing..
what means a lot is when the evangelicals get pissed or they feel scared and attacked...like with the blaster pastor Wright, Barrack Huesin Obamas' black phanther preacher who hates america and white rich god fearing people.
..Obama's already lost these folks...
they voted GW Bush in last time..their vote counts more than all minorities put together..talk all you want about polls they mean nothing....
case closed...

At the end of the day, Hillary will sell her soul if she has to in order to win the nomination. She will then be another souless politician who expects us all to love. She's turned herself into a JOKE! How PATHETIC! I feel sorry for that woMAN!

It appear that this year the negative campaigning of the Clintons was drowned out by the positive message of Obama.

This year I want the opportunity to vote for a candidate for president rather than against the Republican or in 1992 when the arrogant Bill Clinton ran against the inept Bush Sr, I chose the third party, as a protest against the Democrats for supporting Clinton. Felt the same way in 68 and 84 and voted third party.

Obama is someone to vote for.

With Hillary, Fox, Rush and Ann Coulter all in the same corner, it's no wonder the Republicans are pushing for Clinton to stay in the race. The longer she stays the worse it is for Democrats. Thanks Hillary!

I am flabbergasted that Clinton has a single supporter left. This is a candidate who has virtually no mathematical chance of winning her party's nomination, and yet she continues to drag her party through the muck of her own narcissistic ambition. If McCain wins the White House this year, the blame rests squarely on Clinton, who seem to put her party and her country ahead of her own sense of entitlement to the presidency. Shameful.

I don't know if these polls really mean anything since most of the primaries are over with and the last remaining states are pretty much locked into their voting patterns. Hillary will never quit no matter how dirty or damage is done to the party and to Barack. As far as she is concerned it's her turn, again.

What are we telling our kids the lesson of quitting because people around you are telling you to quit. I think both Leahy and Dean should quit. They have no right to tell Hillary to quit. Obama also has no right to tell Hillary to stay. Who do you think you are ... ? Mr. Obama, for the sake of Dems Party, please quit. Will you quit? Just asking...

I am experiencing Clinton fatigue again. Please go away!!

I''m glad Mr. Obama is now focusing on Mr. McCain. There is nothing to be gained by continuing to trade barbs with Mrs. Clinton. She cannot win. It's time to focus on the Republicans.

People need to get off of the idea that Clinton should quit her campaign for the sake of the Democratic party.

America or the Democratic party should not stand for quitting at the first sign of difficulty or competition.
..worse yet, it's hypocritical of the Democratic party to say they are the party of the people, but reserve the right to change the rules of the game half way into it....thereby, circumventing "the people". If they didn't mean 2025 delegates to win, then they should have changed it ahead of time (say...2025 total delegates or whoever's ahead by 110 by end of March or ahead by 5% in popular votes).

Also, why would the Democratic party need super delegates, if all they're supposed to do is vote with the regular delegates.....

I'm not a Clinton supporter per se, but I just feel like self distructing Democrates with the media's help is trying to stir the pot and see what sticks to the spoon.

Democratic leadership shouldn't worry about the wounds from a long primary; they should worry about how it would appear to the entire nation if Clinton was forced out at this point of the race. Moderate Democrates and independents (I, for one) would lose a lot of respect for Obama and the party, if they felt like he was prematurely "crowned".

If Obama is the One, then let him show it through the ballot box.

Here's another crazy idea, why don't we have all the primary voting in the month of February, if Dem's don't want to drag it out.

It CAN'T be over yet - the PLAN has not been fulfilled:

Bush

Or is there a DNC $ bail out plan for the Clintons from the nameless 20?

if hillary wins the nomination, it will be by default, i.e., by deception, game-playing, fabrication, and support from fat-cat old-dem=machine politicians, who want to make sure they stay in their positions as well....

Someone please explain this to me...pundits say that the country wouldn't stand for Clinton being voted in by super-delegates despite the outcome of popular vote...isn't this the same country where Al Gore got the most votes yet didn't become president?

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

Best regards

DON'T BE DUPED !!!

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.

But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).

I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-self, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.

Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 2 and 3 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.

I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton’s offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama’s place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.

The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.

Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

Sincerely

jacksmith...

It cracks me up when Connies press the Obama pastor thing. Can anyone show me anything Obama has said or written that aligns him with any of the various sermons Wright has made? Read his last book and you will understand the dude much better than the kooky snippets from Wright.

What are we telling our kids the lesson of quitting because people around you are telling you to quit. I think both Leahy and Dean should quit. They have no right to tell Hillary to quit. Obama also has no right to tell Hillary to stay. Who do you think you are ... ? Mr. Obama, for the sake of Dems Party, please quit. Will you quit? Just asking...

I think it's good to teach kids that it's not just all about you, but the greater good. It's also about honor...Hillary sticking it out when there is little chance of getting the nomination just drains resources from the real battle at hand. I do think if they were reversed, that Obama WOULD have dropped his bid by now. And it isn't correct to call it quitting. Any poker player would tell Hillary that it's time to fold before busting the bank.

Clinton almost didn't leave the White House after Bush Jr. was sworn in because the Clintons don't know when to disappear for the good of the country. So, of course, Clinton isn't going to bow out of the race because she doesn't do what's right and it's kinda like e-couli on a plastic cutting board - it just keeps growing into an uglier glob and we all know it.

Subtitle: "Ding, dong, the witch is dead..." LOL

You guys are missing the big picture. Hillary knows that she is not going to win this nomination, but if Obama goes on to become president she has not shot till 2016. Her whole mission is to bloody him up and destroy him so that he looses the election, is hopefully a spent force within the party and then she can walk in to the nomination in 2012 with nothing in her way.

"I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother."

jacksmith,

Hey, I think I can speak for everyone here at the Swamp that we would all like a bit of whatever you're smoking.

A little goofy, but sounds like a nice place with fairies, unicorns and gingerbread houses.

I hope the national numbers also begin to impact places like PA, NC and Indiana. Obama's use of technology in this race towers over his competitors and gives me hope that he'll leverage it in the service of good governance. While I respect McCain, his time came and went in 2000. It's now time to turn the reins of government over to the next generation of leadership. Remember, if experience were the ultimate criteria we'd elect GW Bush to a third term.

Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

Unfortunately your Republican cut and past cheerleading for Hillary does get thru!!

You're not fooling anyone Rush....

You might be an idiot!

If you think she has 35 years of experience...

If you think she's going to release her tax returns...

If you think he's going to release the list of presidential library donors...

If you think they are in this for anything but the money....

If you think they care about the working class...

If you think the republicans are voting for him in the primaries...

If you think Hillary has 35 years of worthwhile experience...You may be an Idiot

I want someone to ask Hillary Clinton this: Where were you when the DNC first declared that FL and MI delegates wouldn't be seated? If you're so damned concerned about the voters of those states, where were you? Oh, that's right -- I forgot! You were signing the pledge that you agreed with the action and wouldn't campaign in those states! You AGREED WITH THE DNC'S ACTION. But now, now that you're behind in the delegate count and somehow have it in your math-deprived head that seating those delegates will help you, suddenly you're all concerned about the voters of MI and FL. I repeat: if you're so concerned, where were you in the beginning??

I am flabbergasted that Clinton has a single supporter left. This is a candidate who has virtually no mathematical chance of winning her party's nomination, and yet she continues to drag her party through the muck of her own narcissistic ambition.

Seth, I am sorry but when you say "If McCain wins the White House this year, the blame rests squarely on Clinton, who seem to put her party and her country ahead of her own sense of entitlement to the presidency. Shameful."

I believe you meant to say"
"If McCain wins the White House this year, the blame rests squarely on Clinton, WHO SEEMS TO PUT HER OWN SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT TO THE PRESIDENCY AHEAD OF HER PARTY AND HER COUNTRY. Shameful."
---------------
I am in full agreement with you!.

If Clinton want's people to start taking her seriously again she needs to start going after McCain on a fulltime basis, that's what I want to see from her.

She also needs to pay off her campaign debts, release all of her tax returns (2003-2007) and release the donar list to the Clinton libray.

If she want's to regain some of the credibilty and integrity she lost after the Bosnia lie this would be a good place to start, until she does this I will withhold any support I may have for her candidacy.

Agnes, your posting is quite intestesting and contradictory. First you say, "I think both Leahy and Dean should quit."
In the same breath you say, "They have no right to tell Hillary to quit."
Then you chide Senator Obama with: "Obama also has no right to tell Hillary to stay. Who do you think you are ... ?"
Then you say to Senator Obama, "Mr. Obama, for the sake of Dems Party, please quit. Will you quit? Just asking"

Oh, so NOBODY CAN ASK HILLARY TO QUIT; if they do, then you TELL THEM TO QUIT. Agnes, does that even make sense to you?

Then, you chastize Senator Obama for saying Hillary should stay in the race. Gee, no matter what, you find fault!!

The ultimate hypocracy on your part is saying, "Mr. Obama, for the sake of Dems Party, please quit. Will you quit? Just asking"
Whew, what a hypocrite! Others do not have the right to ask Hillary to quit; but, YOU have the right to ask Senator Obama to quit?? Wow!! This is the epitomy of hypocracy!!

Why should Senator Obama quit? He IS AHEAD on all counts: more delegates, more popular votes, more states won.

Your thinking and reasoning(??) are really flabbergasting!!

Actually, what hasn’t been covered much are her cascading excuses or “misstatements” about this Bosnia tale, culminating in her saying this to KDKA radio in Pittsburgh on 3/25/08:
“I have written about this and described in many different settings and I did misspeak the other day,” Clinton said during a live 10-minute interview. “This has been a very long campaign….Last week for the first time in 12 years or so, I misspoke.”

Bizarro. No wonder Obama's lead has grown. It's a wonder it's not even bigger.

@ jacksmith

Um, you have that backwards, there.

Republicans who vote for Obama admit that he more closely resembles what their party SHOULD stand for than any candidate they've had in the past couple of generations

Republicans who vote for Hillary say they do so because they know she is unelectable. Go back and look at the pre-voting polls, the Texas polls, and a few others since and then you'll understand.

Oh, and by the way, do you know WHY Obama has so much more money that Hillary's campaign? It's because we, the "peons" support him so fully we give enough 5, 10, 25, and up donations to fund such a campaign. Hillary's the one with all the rich "super-delegate" funding that seems bottomless, yet hasn;t been enough. That's because, even though she caters to the big business and elitists like you, she's just not appealing to the average American, for reasons you would know if you were as informed about her political actions as you are lauding of them.

You might be delusional:)
If you're jacksmith

By the way Clinton just lost Texas. Didn't Bill say that she should bow out if she loses Texas?

For someone running on her "experience" at working the complicated political system to produce results she sure is terrible at navigating the caucus system. She's been completely out-organized in these contests.

Everytime Billary tries to sling the mud at Obama it lands right back in their collective faces. She is a LIAR. OK, so we don't expect our presidential candidates to be angels. But to be such a dumb, stupid LIAR -- she doesn't deserve the presidency. Didn't she know that there were other people on the trip besides herself? And if she's not a LIAR then she's DELUSIONAL or SLEEP DEPRIVED. Is that who you want answering the phone at 3AM in the morning?

Hillary is down in the polls, worse than ever before. Now, more than 50% of the people give Hillary a negative poll rating.

Why?? Because people have seen enough to know she's a liar, cheater, mud-slinger, and NOT the "experienced" candidate she says she is.

Heck, she doesn't even pay her vendors!!!

If anyone reading this still supports Hillary, PLEASE try to step back from the situation and see this woman for what she is.
She is not fit to be in government, in any capacity whatsoever.

Folks,

I'm a Democrat, but you know this whole primary thing is really getting old. The older it gets the more I like McCain. He isn't really a social conservative by any means. Besides, he is a veteran like me. I don't have a doubt that Mrs. Clinton would be a great President. However, it is time for her to put her ambition to rest. I'm so annoyed right now that I'm really ready to go into that poll in November and vote all Democrats in Kansas out. Gee, it can't be worst than it already is. Unless your Bernie Everret or Angelo Mozzillo, millions in the bank and a comfty bunk in jail.

Jacksmith, You sure fling alot of remarkable statements out as facts without providing any backup. Obviously you weren't duped by any Gallup poll into thinking that that 30% of Obama's votes came from Republican crossovers. --So where did that figure come from? No one was doing that kind of exit polling, that I saw. Not only do I find it incredulous; but I thought that since so many Republicans have such a dark view of Hillary, she'd be the one they'd think would be easier to defeat. And I imagine that's why some people like Ann Coulter are promoting Hillary....not Obama.

This will all be over in a matter of weeks if not days. Hillary's shoes and pantsuits are about to be repossessed, I swear.

Clinton's planes will be grounded for lack of gas money, her phones will be cut off, electricity will get cut off and her credit cards will quit working any day now. She won't find any more vendors willing to give the bum anymore credit. The MSM will start talking about her long list of creditors and it will start to be curtains.

She is so in debt right now that the campaign has resorted to astroturfing her FUNDRAISERS! Check out the WSJ for Peggy Noonan's column. Noonan had bought a cheap seat, but then they moved a bunch of folks from the cheap seats into the "high dollar" area lest it look completely barren and empty.

Also - Slate has a deathwatch meter up.

TPM election central has the links....

The Clinton campaign has about $2 million in chargebacks that they need to issue for "accidentally" doublecharging donors on their credit cards

You Might Be Crazy!

If you believe that Bill Clinton is getting a 3rd term

You Might Be Crazy!

If you believe that a vote for Hillary is a vote for Bill.

You Might Be Crazy!

If you believe that someone who lies about ducking sniper fire in spite of the huge number of witnesses to the contrary, needs to answer the phone at 3AM in the morning.

You Might Be Crazy!

If you believe that someone who lies on national TV stating that her daughter was jogging near the World Trade towers when the 1st plane hit deserves to be president.

You Might be Crazy!

If you believe that the FAILURE to institute a national health policy is a good reason to give Hillary another shot at failure.

You Might be Crazy!

If you believe that to be next to power and intellect is the same as being powerful and intellectual. (Secretaries of the world unite - you are our best hope for president.)

You Might Be Crazy!

If you don't remember that the Republican machine brought this country to a standstill during the Clinton impreachment process. And crazier still if you don't know that Hillary is suddenly being talked about in glowing terms by the same Richard Mellon Scaife who once spent millions smearing the Clintons with Troopergate, and implications in the "murders" of Ron Brown and Vince Foster. And crazier yet if you don't know that Rush Limbaugh encouraged Republicans to vote for Hillary because they know that Obama is the true threat to the McCain presidency.

You Might Be Crazy!

If you don't see that the Bush and Clintons have now joined forces to enrich themselves and this is why we can't find out who funded the Clinton library and why Hillary is having such a hard time releasing her taxes.

You Might Be Crazy!

If you don't know that Obama has won more primaries and caucauses than Hillary. PERIOD.

You Might Be Crazy!

If you will tell yourself anything, lie to yourself, bury your head in the sand, that in spite of all truth, facts, figures, you will go forth boldly and lie to anyone who will listen, convince yourself, delude yourself that you know for a fact that 30% or any percent of Republicans are voting for Obama because of a fear of Hillary, or to pretend not to know that Obama has won more PRIMARIES, CAUCAUSES, and the POPULAR vote, to delude yourself and pretend not to know that the electoral college has absolutely nothing to do with primaries, that you refuse to at least be honest, that you will say or do anything, tell any lie, do whatever it takes - you must be Crazy - no, wait, not crazy - you must be just like Hillary.

Posted by: jacksmith | March 30, 2008 10:06 PM

Jacksmith not only are you clueless but without your "you might be an idiot" rants fairly boring.

Yet another Hillary zombie!

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)
If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

Response - YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
If you think Hillary Clinton truly has 35 year of experience. She was elected until 2000. Going back 35 years you’ll find during that time she was a Yale law student, she was working for the Rose Law Firm & canvassing for George McGovern, on the board at Wal-Mart, who was selling products as “American Made” back then, when in truth they were not.. 8 years as First Lady (or wife of a governor) – does that qualify Laura Bush to be President?

You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

Response - YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
If you think either or them has any economic experience. Both will have ECONOMIC ADVISORS who hopefully won’t be students of Friedman. Hopefully, Bill will stay completely out of it, because the dot.com bubble was not of his doing (after all Bill didn’t create the Internet – Al did (just kidding)), but NAFTA was, the repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act (which regulated the banking industry) in 1999 with his passage of the Gramm – Leach – Biley Act gave us the current sub-prime crisis. And let’s not forget the deregulation (oversight) of utilities which gave people $900 utility bills, not to mention those who lost the pensions and jobs when ENRON folded and MCI. All of which were Republican bills with which Bill agreed because he and Hillary are both leaders of the DLC (the right – Republican – wing of the Democratic Party which is pro-business, not pro-blue collar workers. Hillary’s plan for the housing crisis is a VERY short term plan that will not fix anything.

You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

Response - YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
If you think Hillary who shut out Congress in an attempt to get health care in a back room deal was a “pitched battle.” It was doomed to failure from the beginning because she was not INCLUSIVE. Members of Congress don’t particularly like being left out when the First Lady tries to pass legislation without having been elected.
Her current plan, based on the Massachusetts plan, will no more insure everyone that the Obama plan. Nor does the Massachusetts plan. In fact, they are facing a funding crisis and people who cannot afford it are paying fines that are cheaper than the insurance.
Health care insurance is EXTREMELY complicated and there are many, many players involved. All will need to come to the table and agree to some type of compromise. Whether either of them can accomplish it remains to be seen.

You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

Response - YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
If you think Hillary will get us out of either of these wars. Again, she is a leader of the DLC who supports this war. War is good for business, haven’t you heard? She voted for this war and has yet to say this decision was a mistake – she finally agreed she would take it back – probably because it has caused her so much grief during this election. She also voted to name the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as terrorists, which in effect named the Iranian government as terrorists, which in effect gives Bush the right to go to war with them. She voted against an amendment that would specifically prevent Bush from doing just that. She’s lied about her Bosnia experience. What makes you think she is telling the truth about getting us out?

You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

Response - YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
Both are supporting green energy and taking steps to reverse climate change (if it’s not too late already).

You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.

Response - YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
I think anyone who made it through Harvard Law School (and became President of the Harvard Law Review and has taught constitutional law) would probably disagree with you about this being “little or no educational experience.” By the way, who are you voting for? Hillary or Bill? Seems to me you think Bill has done quite a bit, but I don’t see anywhere in the post where Hillary has done anything…

You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

Response - YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
So should Laura Bush run for President? She has 8 years spent at the right hand of President Bush. Your opinion of Bill is not my opinion of Bill. His triangulating with the Republicans has done great harm to this country. And if he was so wonderful, how is it that he lost Congress to the Republicans two years after being in office, never to regain it again?

You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

Response - YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
I cannot agree. Some of our greatest Presidents came to Washington during some pretty rough times with little experience – Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who only had 2 years in the State Senate and 4 years as Governor before becoming President. Bill Clinton himself did not have any foreign policy experience. Hillary has LESS legislative experience than Obama as he as served 7 years in the Illinois State Legislature and 4 years (as of this year) in the US Senate.

You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

Response - YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
If you think all Republicans voting for Obama are voting for a nefarious reason. Some of them are actually voting for him because they want him to be President. Many are unhappy with their own party. Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of Ike and Lincoln Chaffee, former Republican Senator from Rhode Island are both Republicans and are supporting Obama. So there really are Obamacans. Whereas Rush Limbaugh called upon Republicans to vote for Hillary in his “Operation Chaos” campaign. Apparently, many did in both Texas and Ohio.

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:
If you think either or them has any economic experience. Both will have ECONOMIC ADVISORS who hopefully won’t be students of Friedman. Hopefully, Bill will stay completely out of it, because the dot.com bubble was not of his doing (after all Bill didn’t create the Internet – Al did (just kidding)), but NAFTA was, the repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act (which regulated the banking industry) in 1999 with his passage of the Gramm – Leach – Biley Act gave us the current sub-prime crisis. And let’s not forget the deregulation (oversight) of utilities which gave people $900 utility bills, not to mention those who lost the pensions and jobs when ENRON folded and MCI. All of which were Republican bills with which Bill agreed because he and Hillary are both leaders of the DLC (the right – Republican – wing of the Democratic Party which is pro-business, not pro-blue collar workers. Hillary’s plan for the housing crisis is a VERY short term plan that will not fix anything.

Obama's plan:
1) "To stabilize the housing market and help bring the foreclosure crisis to an end, I have [co]sponsored Senator Chris Dodd’s legislation creating a new FHA Housing Security Program, which will provide meaningful incentives for lenders to buy or refinance existing mortgages. This will allow Americans facing foreclosure to keep their homes at rates they can afford."
2)"For homeowners who were victims of fraud, I’ve also proposed a $10 billion Foreclosure Prevention Fund that would help them sell a home that is beyond their means, or modify their loan to avoid foreclosure or bankruptcy."
3) "It’s also time to amend our bankruptcy laws, so families aren’t forced to stick to the terms of a home loan that was predatory or unfair."
4) "To prevent fraud in the future, I’ve proposed tough new penalties on fraudulent lenders, and a Home Score system that will allow consumers to find out more about mortgage offers and whether they’ll be able to make payments."
5) "To help low- and middle-income families, I’ve proposed a 10 percent mortgage interest tax credit that will allow homeowners who don’t itemize their taxes to access incentives for home ownership. And to expand home ownership, we must do more to help communities turn abandoned properties into affordable housing."

And his six principles of reform:
First, if you can borrow from the government, you should be subject to government oversight and supervision. Secretary Paulson admitted this in his remarks yesterday. The Federal Reserve should have basic supervisory authority over any institution to which it may make credit available as a lender of last resort. When the Fed steps in, it is providing lenders an insurance policy underwritten by the American taxpayer. In return, taxpayers have every right to expect that these institutions are not taking excessive risks. The nature of regulation should depend on the degree and extent of the Fed’s exposure. But at the very least, these new regulations should include liquidity and capital requirements.

Second, there needs to be general reform of the requirements to which all regulated financial institutions are subjected. Capital requirements should be strengthened, particularly for complex financial instruments like some of the mortgage securities that led to our current crisis. We must develop and rigorously manage liquidity risk. We must investigate rating agencies and potential conflicts of interest with the people they are rating. And transparency requirements must demand full disclosure by financial institutions to shareholders and counterparties.

As we reform our regulatory system at home, we must work with international arrangements like the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the International Accounting Standards Board, and the Financial Stability Forum to address the same problems abroad. The goal must be ensuring that financial institutions around the world are subject to similar rules of the road – both to make the system stable, and to keep our financial institutions competitive.

Third, we need to streamline a framework of overlapping and competing regulatory agencies. Reshuffling bureaucracies should not be an end in itself. But the large, complex institutions that dominate the financial landscape do not fit into categories created decades ago. Different institutions compete in multiple markets – our regulatory system should not pretend otherwise. A streamlined system will provide better oversight, and be less costly for regulated institutions.

Fourth, we need to regulate institutions for what they do, not what they are. Over the last few years, commercial banks and thrift institutions were subject to guidelines on subprime mortgages that did not apply to mortgage brokers and companies. It makes no sense for the Fed to tighten mortgage guidelines for banks when two-thirds of subprime mortgages don’t originate from banks. This regulatory framework has failed to protect homeowners, and it is now clear that it made no sense for our financial system. When it comes to protecting the American people, it should make no difference what kind of institution they are dealing with.

Fifth, we must remain vigilant and crack down on trading activity that crosses the line to market manipulation. Reports have circulated in recent days that some traders may have intentionally spread rumors that Bear Stearns was in financial distress while making market bets against the company. The SEC should investigate and punish this kind of market manipulation, and report its conclusions to Congress.

Sixth, we need a process that identifies systemic risks to the financial system. Too often, we deal with threats to the financial system that weren’t anticipated by regulators. That’s why we should create a financial market oversight commission, which would meet regularly and provide advice to the President, Congress, and regulators on the state of our financial markets and the risks that face them. These expert views could help anticipate risks before they erupt into a crisis.

Short term AND long term plans to restore our economy and economic balance. We cannot afford not to do this or something like it. Short term plans like Bush's or Hillary's will not solve the problem, only put a bandaid on it.

BTW - I am 57, not a "young person."

What I find it difficult to understand is that any sane person would vote again for a Clinton. It would just be another "co-presidency" and more people (enemies) being found suddenly dead. How many more people must be murdered and victimized before people learn that the Arkansas trash has no business again being in the White House.

The results of the poll is actually a poll of what the media's focus is for that week. Clinton got a low score because all mainstream media carried the Bosnia story while only Fox carried the Wright story. Frankly, between the two stories, Wright is more hideous story than the Bosnia story.

Until Obama is trully vetted, he is not electable.

Obama easily faced the most damaging story of any of the Democratic candidates and weathered the storm by nipping it in the bud. He delived a homerun of a speech that put it mostly behind him.

On the other hand, when Hillary was faced with her 'misspeak' moment, she handled it terribly.

When these candidates were faced with a damaging situation, Obama proved to handle the pressing situation the best and it, once again, shows that Obama is the person best to take that 3am call in the midst of a crisis.

All the Dirt & Lies that Hillary has thrown at Barack Obama is not working, she has shown such arrogance towards the electorate, while Barack has remained Dignified throughout she is so negative. Policy is second to her negative strategy, Hillary will hang on to the very end, she has very little respect left but she is now starting to ruin any future political career she hoped for.

JACKSMITH, if YOU think Hillary has 35 valid years of experience then YOU are an IDIOT!

If Hillary succeeds in her dirty deeds I will write in Alfred E. Neumann, I will never, ever vote for her - and I used to think she was ok - before her dirty tricks.

The belle of Bosnia: ---

Well maybe she is not the Bosnian Belle, and I don’t think that even the wicked news media would dare call her Senator Hillary Boom-Boom Clinton---as one can see from the video coverage of her 1996 arrival in Bosnia, there was nary any snap, crackle or pop. Rather than talking about ducking and running and sitting on flack jackets, how about claiming that she brought peace to that war-torn land; it certainly looked peaceful.

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Vote2008/story?id=4519064&page=1

A review of the above link might be enough to set that little Bosnian girl singing “You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore.”

And have we ever had so much fun in our Democratic Party---with material like this, maybe the entire national convention should be held on Saturday Nigh Live?

It is time for the Obama camp to move on to their General Election campaign, thereby giving the Clintons the cold shoulder. Any other form of recognition apart from the occasional swapping, vitiates the energies our Democratic nominee needs to move forward against the Republicans. Bill and Hillary are witnessing their own "fairy tale" campaign in its death throes, but not only is the campaign dying, so also is the romantic allusions they had us believing in for so long. The Clintons and their ardent supporters are the traitors to the Democratic Party. They have turned their backs on the boiler-plate support we gave them during their time of grief with the Republican hounds gnawing at them. Now it would appear that these turncoats have joined forces with the same shameless fascist hate mongerss in order to destroy the Democratic Party. In a way I'm glad that the story about Bosnia was laid bare for all objective people to discover the lengths these disingenuous people would stoop for the acquisition of power. The are many more significant stories about the Clintons that , if made public, would destroy them; Tuzla was just a mild example of where a lie over nothing will get you. Time for the party to rise up in revolt and show these carpetbaggers the door.

I don't understand these "national polls" at this time. What's the point. Other than the primary races still to come. No ohter polls matter for the priamries. I'm more interested in the trends for the general election.

If running up debt to stay out there when all the math is against HRC, the only question that comes to my mind is: Is this how she would run the country? And, if making up self-aggrandising stories about herself dodging bullets represents the tools she has used and would use in the office of president, then I'm ever so glad that we have Obama as an alternative. If HRC were a really good sportswoman, she'd end her campaign and get behind Obama, but all this proves is that she is out for herself, not the country and not the Democratic Party. What a shame. If she were an Eleanor Roosevelt, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

The people in Pennsylvania will be wasting a vote on Hillary. Vote Smart and vote for OBAMA. As for the person who is still on the "experience" problem it is odd that all these politicians with experience are supporting Obama and not Hillary. You have no idea how much experience Obama has...look at his life and his campaign for starters. His campaign is in the pluses and Hillary is NEGATIVE. She has no money left. Stop being ignorant. You are looking at a once in a lifetime leader. He is loved all over the world. My son lives in China and everybody asks him about OBAMA.

You might be an idiot if you believe a person who dodges imaginary bullets, who in her imagination runs to avoid greeting parties, and who obeys imaginary commands to sit on flapjackets, and then cultivates and disseminates (lies about) the imaginary story publically at least 4 times. We have had 7 years of a person living in an imaginary world and we don't need 4 more years of it. We don't need a crier or one who claims sleep deprivation as an excuse for screwing up in the oval office.

For Jacksmith...

If you think calling someone an idiot can get them to change their mind.....

The will of the people is split and both candidates need - and are making their case to -
super delegates

Barack Obama is reportedly already trying to poach pledged delegates from Hillary Clinton

THE PUNDITS
Florida and Michigan’s voters won't be heard and their delegates won’t be seated all
because of complicated procedural roadblocks
THE REALITY
Barack Obama is intentionally disenfranchising voters in two critical states for purely political reasons, namely, that he'll lose his small advantage if they count

THE PUNDITS
Every single word or action from Hillary Clinton, her campaign, her surrogates and her supporters is part of a calculated and cynical political strategy
THE REALITY
Hillary Clinton is a loyal Democrat, a lifelong public servant, a tireless and
tenacious candidate, and is fighting hard - and fair - to win with the help of millions of dedicated supporters

Democrats NEED Clinton to stay in the race. OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE IN GENERAL ELECTION. “Obama marched with Farrakhan”Obama's Pastor Slurs Italians in Latest Magazine (CNSNews.com) Wright continues his Obama supported attacks on non-blacks now slurring Italians in issue of Trumpet Newsmag. Wright states, Jesus enemies had their opinion, Italians looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans, and Jesus death on a cross was a public lynching Italian style! This government runs everything from the White House to the schoolhouse, from the Capitol to the KKKlan of white supremacy who is clearly in charge. Every issue published Wright's rant against white people in which he covers a world that is controlled by white supremacy, a country that’s on its way to hell in a hand basket because of lying politicians, in a culture that still thinks 'white is right! He said young African-American Christians are more concerned about 'bling bling' than about freeing their minds and still Obama says I could no more disown him than I could disown the black community. According to his federal income tax return for 2006, Obama gave the Trinity United church $22,500 in contributions. Trumpet Newsmagazine started 80s, Wright is CEO and Wright's daughter, Jeri Wright, is the publisher. Requests for comments Obama camp of course not answered. Trumpet Nov/Dec edition, featured Louis Farrakhan, recipient of the Lifetime Achievement "Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter" award. Farrakhan has called Judaism a "gutter religion" and said Jews are "bloodsuckers. Many of the biased cable news pundits try to make viewers believe Obama's speech limited damage of Wright controversy, but the general election will show voters strongly disagree, especially non-black voters. Obama refuses to explain to the public why he would have someone as such a close spiritual advisor and mentor and why he would expose two young daughters to such hatefulness against fellow Americans. The problem Wright's comments are not theological views, but political statements. This is a serious issue for Obama in general election. As with each new utterance on the topic of Reverend Wright, Barack Obama confirms his own moral obliviousness and he seems to have disdain for those who are troubled by his own unwillingness to break with Wright, even worse Obama still insists Wright is a brilliant man, So brilliant, apparently, that he has uncovered the plot by white America to kill African Americans, so insightful to perceive the 9/11 attacks caused by American terrorism and his discerning observation Israel is a “dirty” word, and still in Obama’s eyes, Wright is brilliant. This, we are told by biased cable news pundits like CNN Obamaphiles, is not supposed to affect voters’ view of Obama’s judgment. Perhaps voters are embarrassed to tell pollsters they are privately offended. General election Republicans as well as independents and democrats are irked by this moral obtuseness even though media like CNN or Hardball cover it up with bogus Clinton attacks.

President Bush's former chief strategist, who left the White House in 2007, pegged Obama as a do-nothing senator who talked big and achieved little. "What bills has he sponsored?" Rove asked. Easy to see the Republican attack ads against Obama, especially since he continues defending Wrights hateful Racism and attacks on white America Will open with videos of racist wife, Michelle, saying she was proud of America "for the first time" because of her husband's presidential run, next Obama explaining he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin or hold his hands to his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance because it is a substitute for patriotism, next clip Obama explaining that his Caucasian grandmother was a "typical white person, because she was afraid of black people. Finally, the coup de grace, video & pictures of Obama's angry, arm-waving preacher blaming the United States for 9/11 and shouting "God Damn America" to the rafters of TCC and preaching the U.S. government formulated the HIV AIDS virus to commit genocide against blacks. Obama continues to publically support Wright's shocking verbal assaults against the U.S and White Americans and financially supports Wright. All this and Obama was the first to publically demand Imus ouster for saying Nappy Headed? A true example of Obamas poor judgment continues to support racism at the church for more than 20 years, as he and Michelle feels it’s a good environment to expose their young daughters too is extremely sad. His opinions and issues change with the weather, he is UNSTABLE and proven he cannot make a decision or stay with one. As democrats WE WILL NEVER SUPPORT AN OBAMA NOMINATION! We agree with Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter who told ABC News, He Would Have Quit Church if His Pastor Made Such Remarks.

If that’s not enough, then you start showing his terrible senate voting record, Obama when faced with tough choices always gave in to pressure from the Bush administration or corporate lobbyists, Obama dealings with one of his largest contributors, Exelon, a big nuclear power company and the deals he cut behind closed doors to protect them from full disclosure in the nuclear industry. Obamas record shows he infact did support the war when he got to the senate, voted twice against bringing America's troops back home. He voted for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater where Texas woman, was gang-raped by her co-workers at a Halliburton/KBR camp in Baghdad, His latest bit of posturing S 433 allows the Bush Administration to suspend any troop withdrawal, if not suspended, keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come, but in his camp stumps touts he wants to bring troops home, but as we have witnessed his recent lies to voters like Canada he cannot be trusted on his word and lastly ALL the corrupt indicted financial backers, like Rezko…Get out of the race Obama you are destroying the democratic party!

to jacksmith........

You might be an idiot ........

Hillary Clinton is running or you might be an idiot it IS actually Bill running from the back seat.......thanks for the enlightenment ...!!!
Being First Lady does not give you the experience needed to validate being a President . And she has shown she will twist the truth( better , shorter word ..LIE!!) to enhance her image. She doesn't confront contraversy powerfully and has mispoken ( to anyone else it would have been considered a lie ..and Hilary it is not the first time..) on many occasions including ..NAFTA .. ....and has yet to fess up to any of it with courage ....that is what a leader does ...!!!
She rather , throws sand and blindsides you with something else and moves on....that is what all her experience has shown her...
Well....
experience is overated and wisdom out weighs any virtue.........
Wise decisions have been lacking for awhile here..
And finally Jacksmith...
Hillary voted for the Iraq war .....that had no real evidence or proof of a winnable outcome ........where was the Clinton wisdom then....? Experience certainly didn't seem to come into play here.. ...?
......

Any so-called Democrat who plans on voting for McWar just because his or her preferred candidate didn't win the Democratic nomination is pathetic! I'm an independent leaning towards Obama, but if Clinton somehow makes it through I'll of course vote for her. John McInsane must be stopped, so I say shame on any "Democrat" who would actually consider voting for him!

Maybe Hillary can get the job as McCain's campaign manager. So far she has done at outstanding job for him for free. She can use the money to pay off her debt.

Posted by: Democrats NEED Clinton | March 31, 2008 8:51 AM

Sorry to say this, but if Wright was white, would you still be spewing your run-on paragraph outrage?

If he voted against those bills, wouldn't you be saying he's against our troops, a defeatist, not listening to the generals? I wish all of them would have voted against those bills, but I understand in the end why they had to. It's not just about what makes you feel good.

I truly don't believe in polls, and obviously the Obama generation must not have jobs, because all they do is follow newspapers and write comments. Obama doesn't want any one to check his legislative tenure , because out of 7 years, he only can account on 1 year of really doing anything productive, and that's only because high priority legislature was handed to him by Emil Jones, another of his mentors. Transparency is a word that describes Obama entire political career, nothing really there to show that he actually did anything without someones help. Obama approached Jones in 2002 and ask him to help him become a US senator. Less than 20% of the Illinois population even knew who Obama was. He did the same in the US senate , hung on the coat tail of seasoned senators to make a name for himself, sliding in on their work. March 13,2208, he tried to get part authorship on Chris Dodds and Barney Franks, ' Hope for Homeowners Act". Even though he hasn't even been much in the Senate with running for President. Once you endorse him , he feels you own him. Both Clinton and Obama support the legislation, but Obama had nothing to do with authorship.

"Go Hillary! YES WE CAN","if hillary doesn't win I'm voting for Mccain (in child-like whinny voice)
There was a time when being ignorant was blissfull:) but to see the Hillary supporters on these blogs it seems more like ignorance is very painful.

another reason why I'm a big fan of rational thought... and obama!

cheers

Not only is she McCain's and the GOP's preferred opponent, her most recent statement that she will drag this nomination all the way to a bloody convention battle is enough evidence to me that Hillary is much less concerned about the party's success and ability to dislodge the Republicans from the White House than she is to fulfilling her own presidential ambitions. Her comment that implies that she and McCain are more patriotic than Obama and her exploitation of Obama's pastor problem are also indicative of some serious character issues on her part. The harder she battles against increasingly difficult odds, the less attractive she becomes to the less committed Dems and independents.

If either of these far left Marxist libeeral fascists gets elected you will not be safe at home, in church or at work. Don't believe it and/or remember? Check it out - the anniversary of the Waco Massacre is just around the corner:

"President Bush's former chief strategist, who left the White House in 2007, pegged Obama as a do-nothing senator who talked big and achieved little."

Democrats NEED Clinton, you lost me right there when you used a Bush strategist for defense of an argument. That would be like Hillary using Pinnochio as a character reference for her Bosnia fantasy. Get real.

JP --
Actually, a lot of us in the "Obama Generation" do have jobs. I'm 26, make more than $50,000 a year as a PR executive, payed my way through college by serving in the military, condesention.

Yes, a lot of us do read newspapers and follow the blogs closely... Funny that you're trying to insult us for attempting to be informed citizens. Who knows, maybe we'll put our collective heads back in the sand and be more ignorant next time around.

Another thing about our generation -- we're tired of the hate, race baiting, and general venom of politics as usual. We don't want a revolution. We do want a civil society where we can all be good neighbors, provide for our families and fix the ills that our two party system has perpetuated over the last 6 decades or so.

That's why we're voting Obama. And that's why most of us will vote for Hillary if Obama doesn't win. Please stop your ignorant attacks -- they benefit no one and make you look like an idiot.

I'm from Ireland, if i had a chance i would vote Obama. My God people don't you see a good thing coming? Obama will be good for you and the whole world. He is what you need. He'll restore respect for America again. The world will thank you for it. YES YOU CAN!!!

"I want someone to ask Hillary Clinton this: Where were you when the DNC first declared that FL and MI delegates wouldn't be seated? If you're so damned concerned about the voters of those states, where were you? Oh, that's right -- I forgot! You were signing the pledge that you agreed with the action and wouldn't campaign in those states! You AGREED WITH THE DNC'S ACTION. But now, now that you're behind in the delegate count and somehow have it in your math-deprived head that seating those delegates will help you, suddenly you're all concerned about the voters of MI and FL. I repeat: if you're so concerned, where were you in the beginning??"

I second that. Flip-flop! Flip-flop! Flip-flop! Sad thing is: DNC has no spine. Is it worth supporting it?

And I can't understand how anyone still believes that woman or her husband are honest.

This is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time.

Laura, the Chinese are COMMUNISTS, of course they love Obama. He would bring the USA right in-line with China's ideals!

Seems I'm not the only woman getting really upset by the Hillary bashing and calls for her to drop out of the race.

http://ownwoman.typepad.com/viewpoints/2008/03/why-so-many-wom.html

At this point, Clinton supporters are either delusional or nefarious. Delusional if they think this Parade of Narcissism that Hillary is currently leading will leave them with a snowball's chance in hell at beating McCain. Nefarious if they realize it and don't care.

Wake up "Archie Bunker" Democrats! Obama's stance on labor issues is EXACTLY the same as Clinton's. The difference is, he is electable. At this point, given all the chicanery she's pulled, the GOP could run a goat against Hillary in the general election and still squash her like a bug.

Nicole,

I am so tired of that assanine argument. This is politics. Politicians bash each other, call for resignations, demand impeachment hearings, etc. etc.

If the situation was reversed, I'm sure Hillary would be doing the same. Would that make her a racist, in your opinion?

Your argument is just a bunch of cliche, hyper-feminist junk. It's a boring argument, and completely off-base.

I think you - and the moron who authors that blog - are the real sexists. Face it, you're not voting for Obama because he's a man who bested your woman. The "experience" argument (Number one on the blog you referenced)is complete hogwash if you plan to switch your vote to McCain in November...unless you want someone with a lot of pro-life, pro-war, conservative leaning experience running this country...who happens to be your BIGGEST enemy (a white male). In that case, I applaud you for keeping your argument consistant!

You reap what you sow.

I used to like Hillary. If Obama was not running this year, I probably would have been excited about Hillarys chances. But With an honest candidate like Obama running, I have seen the TRUE ugly side of the Clintons and I must admit that without Obama running this race, I would be a huge supporter of McCain. Thank GOODNESS for Obama!

Obama is our Savior. Barak and Reverend Wright are Right, God D*** america. Now is the time to rally around Barak and Michelle and make them proud! No more so called elections where typical white people vote! And news flash america, Barak is right, your typical white american is a racist! Obama will apologize to our Muslim brothers for arrogant american policies of hate and slavery. Only Obama can forgive an evil nation founded on slavery. REPARATIONS NOW!

I agree with Raymond F from Ireland. America, can't you see a good one when you see one? OBAMA!
Seize the moment now!
