Well, that's how those bitches roll.

Does this surprise anyone?

Hillary Clinton is acting like a spoiled entitled princess and it seems many of her supporters are the same way.

One of the challenges for Obama will be having to say "no" to the push to have Hillary on the ticket. That will determine for me whether he has the judgement and courage necessary to be president.

From the article:

An Ohio-based group of Democratic Hillary Clinton supporters say they'll work actively against Sen. Barack Obama if he becomes the nominee, arguing that Clinton has been the subject of "intense sexism" by party leaders and the media."

LOL!

Look, in the same way that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, crying sexism is the last refuge of annoying and obnoxious women like Clinton. Whenever an annoying or obnoxious woman is challenged what does she say? "You are a sexist pig who can't handle a strong opinionated woman!" And with that the conversation is stopped and she if free to continue being annoying and obnoxious.

This is nonsense. The ladies mentioned in the article need to understand that their candidate came in second. How could she have come in second when she was the only woman of about 6 or 7 candidates who were inintially running if America is so sxisst as they claim? If Hillary was first and there were rumors of the Dems wanting to give the nom to a man that came in second I would understand their argument, but it seems to me they are doing their party and gender a disservice by acting this way.

How about crying racism?

101, I don't think taht any Obama supporter has threatened not to campaign for Hillary if she is the nom, even though they would have a more legitimate arguemtn.

When you have people claiming they won't vote for Obama because he is a Muslim it makes me wonder if that is a convenient cover. In any case, religious discrimination is bad enought.

I have not heard of people saying they won't vote for Hillary because she is a women. The sexism they alleg is almost non-existent and the level of sexism is less than the level of racism and religious bigotry in this campaign.

Man, leave it to the dems to have representatives from the two most polarizing factions of the party fighting it out for the nomination...in a year when anyone should be able to beat the repubs. Amazing...

What are you a Member of anyway? The Hillary Haters Boys Club?

I have stated various times on here that I am allergic to Hilary, I amke no secret of that.

I also hated Rudy and the Huxter with a passion as anyone who read me knows. It's not about sex, it's about the individual. I know, the individual is a foreign concept to collectivist liberas, but I am sure you are smart enough to understand.

From Corky's link:

The RCP estimate of popular votes that includes caucus states is skewed towards Obama given the undemocratic nature of caucuses.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!

I don't get it, if caucuses are so undemocratic, why did the DNC not fix the problem is past years? Only now that we have a tight election people are complainning about caucuses, no one had a problem before whten the nom was known by March or April.

Also, if some red states don't matter then why do Dems bother having primaries there? Same goes for Repubs in blue states? If only Hillary's statse matter, then why the heck does the DNC and the part waste time and money haveing primaries on the other "irrelevant" states?

-the undemocratic nature of caucuses.

realclearpolitcs uses that phraseology as most people understand it to be factual.

Others aren't so bright.

Over 30 million votes between them and with MIFL, she is ahead by about 30K, him by 80K if you estimate caucuses

I thought that the DNC rules called for the nominee to have a certain number of "delegates", not votes.

Face it, Corky, Hillary got caught with her pantsuit down back in February and her Guiliani-type campaign errors are goimg to cost her the nomination.

The DNC rules call for SDs to vote on whatever criteria they feel relevant, including the popular vote, when the delegate count hasn't reached the magic number.

Unfortunately for Hillary, Obama has already paid them so much money, and can raise so much more from Howard the Duck Dean, John Kerry, and move-on's emailing list, that she doesn't stand much of a chance of SDs putting voters above payola.

Looks like if McCain is smart he'll pick a woman for VP. As long as he doesn't call her names, he can pick up the angry white women vote.

The idea that these women will back McCain over Obama is an emotional decision, not a rational one. Back the candidate whose party didn't even have a woman in the primary race because the party that did have one is too sexist. Yeah, that make a lot of sense.

**(Senator Obama was not on the Michigan Ballot and thus received zero votes. Uncommitted was on the ballot and received 238,168 votes as compared to 328,309 for Senator Clinton.)

----

That's a big **. You have to give an estimate of what you figured Obama would have received in MI because you cannot rationally state that Obama received no votes.

If you want to include MI, then include an estimate.

This is exactly why you cannot use the popular vote as a valid measure because you cannot get a 100% accurate total.

Corky, blaming Obama's support among SDs on bribery is lame, even by your bitter desperate standards.

The Clintons have had years to bribe people. (That's why Carville referred to Richardson as Judas.) They figured a number of people owed them, which is another reason Clinton thought she was going to be the inevitable nominee.

-the undemocratic nature of caucuses.

realclearpolitcs uses that phraseology as most people understand it to be factual.

Clinton wasn't so bright. She had no game plan for caucus states, and yet she keeps saying she wants to count all 50 states.

Actually Gal, you make a good point. The incompetence and shortsightedness of the Clinton campaign was clearly exemplified by this failure to adequately address the reality of the Caucus process even they knew about it from the get-go.

Hillary's post-Super Tuesday strategy was eerily similar to Bush's post-invasion strategy...there was no plan in place!

Now, she's paying the price. It's not because Obama has bought the SD's, or because the MIFL votes don't count. She knew the rules before she got in the game and she lost, fair and square!

I believe , after hearing her comments over the last few days that she will be able to handle it alot more gracefully than some of her supporters (one in particular) who post on this site.

I am sorry but if the situation was reversed I could not support Hellary not because She is a Woman. Not because Obama lost. It is because She is Hellary Rodham Clinton-Bush. THAT is the reason I could not vote for Her. no way no how.

We don't need liars still posting Barak Obama is a Muslim out there. He is a Christian and you 527 groups infiltrating blogs trying to confuse people and placing fear into peoples minds are just cutting your nose off to spite your face.
After you die and St. Peter looks over your accomplishmentss and then looks up I can bet which direction his arm will be pointed in and he won't be opening the gate for you.

The former first lady added that she shouldn't have suggested in a newspaper interview that Barack Obama was having trouble winning over "hardworking...white Americans," saying the racial issues that have crept into the campaign offended her.

Yes, hillary open the door to racial people and gave them the green light to vote by their racial intentions as if it is a good thing.

Corky ought to be proud.

Unfortunately for Hillary, Obama has already paid them so much money, and can raise so much more from Howard the Duck Dean, John Kerry, and move-on's emailing list, that she doesn't stand much of a chance of SDs putting voters above payola.

LOL!

Does corky ever stop?

Blaming Obama and making such accusations explains it all. These idiots like corky prove the validity of the article. The sad fact is they are truely not interested in the democratic party like they say they are, just interested in their candidate and nothing else matters, they are right and all others are wrong.

As I see that there is no factual dispute with what I said, only whining, I must be right.

"I have not heard of people saying they won't vote for Hillary because she is a women. The sexism they alleg is almost non-existent and the level of sexism is less than the level of racism and religious bigotry in this campaign.

Yet, I have heard many times in interviews with female voters that they voted for Hillary because she was a woman and it's about time for one.

Sexism exists in the US and women have contributed to it this year by saying it out loud.

Unfortunately for Hillary, Obama has already paid them so much money, and can raise so much more from Howard the Duck Dean, John Kerry, and move-on's emailing list, that she doesn't stand much of a chance of SDs putting voters above payola.

A) Hillary has paid of SDs before and it is a common occurrence on both sides of the aisle. When a candidate has reserves of cash after a campaign, that reserve is distributed to other candidates and their campaign funds.

B) I bet you can name which SD is going to end up getting the most cash from the Obama primary reserves...that's right, your girl Hillary.

Does this surprise anyone?

Hillary Clinton is acting like a spoiled entitled princess and it seems many of her supporters are the same way. -- Member

Suppose Clinton were slightly ahead in the delegate count, and people were calling for Obama to step down. Many of us would be -- RIGHTLY -- outraged if someone wrote "Obama is acting like an uppity black and his supporters are the same way."
