ABC Wash Post Poll: 64% of Dems Think Hillary Should Stay in Race — Page 8

I have to give McCain credit for being quick to denounce some of the typical Republican foul play, although I think the media should do a better job of holding those around him accountable for what they say. It's a maddening double standard that Clinton and Obama have to explain every statement made by every acquaintance they've ever had and every dollar they've ever spent or received where McCain seems beholden to nothing and nobody.

I'm actually fairly excited to see those 527s go after Obama (they already are, and they're already not working). Can't wait to see the racist agenda smacked down on its ass. Call me crazy but I just think people are smarter these days.

I do believe, however, that the individuals and organizations behind the 527s have a vested interest in the outcome of the election, and may very well expect access to the administration if they are successful.

Nope. They're zealots, which is worse, much worse. They're in it for the sheer pleaure of bringing him down, same as they were about Kerry and the Clintons.

And how many friggin' times do I have to tell you people: IT'S NOT ABOUT RACISM. It's about leftism.

The 527s are not going to paint him as black--DUH!

They're going to paint him as "Too Left-Wing to be President."

Shut UP about the racism already. If he were a conservative like Colin Powell, conservatives would LOVE him.

Get it?

I'm going to support obama. I'm going to vote for him.

But I will not be doing so because he's somehow not your typical politician. Because he clearly is. And I wont believe for a second that some of you actually want honest politics or fair politics. I won't believe that some of you give a damn what the true will of the people may or may not be.

Because all I hear is "the popular vote doesnt matter" "who cares what the actual vote of two states is" "we are all for a deal on these states as long as the compromise doesnt compromise our winning regardless of anything"

And that makes some you absolutely no better than the Bushies of 2000. And I should think you would know better. I'm frankly disgusted by these opinions.
And if you want to believe that all those Hillary supporters who choose McCain over Obama are racist, go on living in political dream land. Never mind that Hillary is between McCain and Obama on the centrist to liberal scale and that some people only feel comfortable voting right of Obama. Nevermind that plenty of Obama supporters would be making the same decisions because they simply despise Hillary as some despise Obama.

When some of you are capable of facing political reality, then and only then can we tackle these problems and win in November.

And enough with the race crap. Comparing Obama's demographics or chances to Dukakis, Mondale, Gore, Kerry, McGovern is NOT racist.

Having said that, I do possess the belief that Obama can overcome these obstacles.

It's not about the electorate across the board.

It's about the Electoral College, state by state, and how many McCain can take and how many Obama can.

Because the Electoral College is winner take all. Obama wouldn't be the nominee if the Democratic primary was winner take all.

What's with the obsession? Do you think every white person in the country is going to vote for McCain or something?

If Cry Baby can be nominated, so can Hillary.
