Hmmm Obama really is Jed Bartlett. Even their "body-man" is a black guy.

I have no objection to Hillary staying in the race, but isn't her campaign 20-30 million in the hole? Doesn't putting out television ads count as spending money she doesn't have, thus contradicting the message in this ad?

Whenever the HRC campaign fundraising is announced for the month, I always question how much of it was her own money.

Looks like Hill's entire argument is a lie. Aside from the absurdity of comparing races that began and ended two months later than they do now, the '92 Clinton campaign itself was calling for Jerry Brown to drop out in April after he came in 3rd in New York.

People who say Hillary isn't really lying about this, but rather that she wasn't involved or doesn't remember correctly are sexists who refuse to give her credit for her important role in the Clinton administration.

this ad is very white. south dakota is roughly 10% native (lakota/dakota) and they are central to the democratic parties victory and success there. both parties have been lobbying the reservations and tribes (most leaders have supported obama) heavily. why can't she throw a random brown face in there? even just a tipi to give props to the community that is critical to party?

Why is a schizophrenic/recovering drug addict allowed to have a gun in Washington? You have to be 21 to buy a handgun and this guy is only 22 -- it's not like he got it before he went coocoo.

Polls in SD and MT show Obama in the lead. Why do these states hate women so much?

But at least they're primaries in insignificant states, not like those big ones that every candidate needs to win. After all, Kerry's wins in the FL and OH primaries guaranteed him the presidency.

Who's paying for the Hils ad?

Hope it's not the Obama campaign ...

@7, obviously SD and MT are not voting for Obama because of sexism but because of their large black populations. Also all the big cities full of highly educated people.
