Obama is about expanding the Democratic Party to represent all Americans and our core values of Truth, Justice, and the American Middle Class way of life.
Clinton is about her peeps.
McCain is about his (adopted) peeps working for the uber-elite top 0.1 percent of America while becoming serfs.
Choose.
Me, I'm going with the guy who makes more pies, not the ones who want to shrink the pies.
clinton has always been for minorities so she finds it a big galling that they don't show a bit more respect. she comes across as the white housewife with a person of color maid who becomes bewildered when they want to better themselves/vote...
She's positioning herself for a powerful exit. If there's a divide in the party (there is), and if she can paint herself as representative of the half of the divide Obama doesn't reach (she can), then she loses strongly.
Expect MORE "I can bring the Democrats X" in the upcoming week.
"Remember: Hillary Clinton cannot win the Democrat nomination through the votes of ordinary Americans"
"Democrat nomination"?? I thought only the Right used that insult to grammar to piss us off. It's DemocratIC nomination.
Maybe this is her way of uniting the Democratic party. If she acts crazy enough, her supporters won't feel so bad for abandoning her and rallying around Obama. It's already working.
Man, what a ball-buster. She's now acting like a bitch or even a fat, lesbian harpy. She reminds me of my wife, nag, nag, nag - lie, lie, lie - cackle, cackle, cackle (at least my wife has never push me to cheat!).
Just drop OUT!
If she ever wants to be in a position like this again (or any woman for that matter), she needs to show that she's a competent, liberal, intelligent and tough woman. Men don't need to prove this, it's a given.
pfffffffffffff
she should concede. stephanopoulos said she wants to negotiate her way out in exchange for vp. she shouldn't do that. it shouldn't be a quid pro quo. it's obama's to offer not hers to demand. he's the winner, he gets the choice and deserves the respect.
Please delete @6. Sounds a lot like ecce.
When you have a popular person-vs-person series on TV, you don't end the fight in the MIDDLE of the series, right?
This is just WWE for the Democrats at this point.
@8 fascist! You’re “pure”, clean, non-offensive world will never exist.
oooops, you no what i meen.
I don't think "pyrrhic victory" is the right term for Al Gore in the 2000 election. A pyrrhic victory is happens at great cost to the victor and Al Gore neither suffered much nor actually won the election.
If, say, McCain's wife died of cancer propelling him to victory, that would be pyrrhic.
Good point, Mr. Joshua. Deleted "pyrrhic."
"Democrats don’t need to win over every last uneducated white voter in America in order to have a successful coalition."
And thank fuck for that...what a horrible fucking party we would have if that were the case.
The Dixiecrats have risen again!
Don't worry about it too much.
Most Democratic Voters are not really paying attention to this or the specifics of the statements being made, or the pundits, the bloggers, etc.
Obama will be fine.
The Democrats are going to kick McCain's ass.
In a month no one will even remember this.
She's treading water until her people can come up with some dirt on Obama that will blow him out of the race. Maybe he had an affair, maybe he used to roll joints with paper that looked like tiny American flags, something like that.
There was this James Cagney movie where the priest asked him to act terrified when they drug him to the electric chair at the end of the movie. So the kids watching him would lose respect for him and not become notorious gangsters themselves. What movie was that?
angels with dirty faces
17: That's exactly what she's doing. Buying time before the next big "scandal" which will probably involve race, radical politics or sexual indiscretions. It's so fucking transparent.
"Al Gore neither suffered much nor actually won the election."
We'll never know how much he suffered, but we do know that he won the election. What he lost was the illegal Supreme Court ruling. In Post-Democracy America, not getting the Presidency is not the same thing as not being elected to it.
@21, why was gore so bad a candidate that he could have won without some small shenanigans going against him?
Two possibilities come to mind.
She wants something in exchange for her support, that is in exchange for delivering the non-obama vote.
She is setting up a "I told you so" for 2012.
