Obama Explains 'Spread the Wealth' Comment {Politics Daily}
Oct 23rd 2008 4:35PM Wow,.. Some people are completely stupid... You don't want a tax increase, but your being taxed more now than ever by the Dollar being worth what it is.
There is no question (I hate saying this) but we were better off when Clinton was president.
Republicans want to say Democrats are tax and spenders, but the repub's are simply spenders.. How dumb is it that you think we can start a war and not pay for it by raising taxes or cutting spending dramatically...
So lets see.., If Joe the Plumber (who was a plant, the son in law of one of the members of the Keating 5), starts his buisness now, he's going to be struggling because no one can hire him.. Pay less taxes, but making a lot less money (under 250,000).. Yeah that sounds right...
Wake up people... And repubs.. answer this question.. when the repubs had control for the first six years of Bush.. How many bills did Bush veto.... Hint.. its less than 1
Clinton Campaign: She Won't Concede {Politics Daily}
Jun 3rd 2008 6:27PM You can keep saying that Hillrat won the popular vote untill your blue in the face, but the numbers don't lie.. Obama has won the popular vote. Hillrat's dillusional math doesn't include the caucus states. Every vote counts right, but only if its a vote for her..
And you idiots that keep saying that your changing parties.. Stop acting like little babies that didn't get what they wanted.. Hillrat and Obama's policy's are so similar and compared to McCain the choice should be obvious.. Hillrat lost, not only becuase she is the weeker candidate, but because of the baggage that the Clintons have...
Clinton: FL, MI Fights Could Go To Convention {Politics Daily}
May 21st 2008 9:51PM I read all these pro Hillrat comments and see the same thing over and over.. You are all dilusional idiots...
Hillrat agreed to the rules and then decided that she wanted to change them only after she was losing... Hillrat supporters are the same as Hillrat herself.. Liars & Cheaters.
If you really want this to be fair.. let both Michigan and Florida re-vote. The problem is Hillrat does not want that because she knows that she will be even more screwed than she is now...
BTW.. She is not ahead in the popular vote, even if you count Mich and Florida.. Unless you go by Hillrat's idiot math...

Clinton Rejects Latest Michigan Delegate Plan By Marie Horrigan, CQ Staff
Thu May 8, 1:29 PM ET
Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday rejected a compromise plan to seat Michigan's delegates to the national convention that would give 69 delegates to Clinton and 59 to Barack Obama.
"This proposal does not honor the 600,000 votes that were cast in Michigan's January primary. Those votes must be counted," Clinton spokesman Isaac Baker said.
The Michigan Democratic Party had approved the plan and intended to submit it to the Democratic National Committee meeting on May 31. Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer said in a statement that the plan was a "good step toward a solution that unites Democrats and ensures that our state will not face a McCain presidency."
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) had stripped Michigan of its delegation to the Democratic National Convention because the state party scheduled its Jan. 15 primary in violation of national party rules. Several plans have been proposed to find a way to seat Michigan's delegation.
Clinton's campaign has maintained that the delegation should be allocated according to the vote in the Jan. 15 primary (73/55) but Obama's campaign had argued the delegation should be split between the two candidates (64/64) because he was not on the ballot. Clinton won that contest with 55 percent of the vote but most of the other major party candidates, including Obama, had removed their names from the ballot because the state violated national party rules.
Since any plan must be approved by all the players -- the state and national parties and both candidates -- it is unclear what will happen now.
The Michigan Democratic Party's Executive Committee on Wednesday had endorsed the 69/59 plan offered April 29 by a group of senior Michigan Democrats including Sen. Carl Levin, Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, UAW President Ron Gettelfinger and DNC member Debbie Dingell.
Elizabeth Kerr, a spokeswoman for the Michigan Democratic Party, said the Clinton campaign's assertion that the votes "weren't honored" was "incorrect."
"This proposal honors the result of the January 15th primary but also takes into consideration that Obama's name was not on the ballot," she said.
If the state party ends up offering the plan to the national party, the DNC would consider it at the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting in Washington on May 31. The DNC did not have any comment on the plan.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who has endorsed Clinton, said the former first lady would not make any decision about the future of her campaign until the status of the Michigan and Florida delegations had been settled at the May 31 meeting. The Democratic National Committee stripped Florida of its delegates to the national convention because the state legislature set the primary for Jan. 29 in violation of national party rules.
Some Democrats have pushed Clinton to consider suspending her campaign, particularly after her narrow victory in Indiana and her heavy loss to Obama in North Carolina during the primaries Tuesday.
"She's going to make the decision when the time comes," Feinstein said.

Top Ten Reasons Obama Can't Win {Politics Daily}

HILLARY'S PENNSYLVANIA WIN
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
April 23, 2008 -- Hillary Clinton refuses to die. Having been given up for dead after losing Iowa, she rebounded in New Hampshire. Then a string of 11 straight consecutive losses - followed by a win in Ohio and a tie (in delegates) in Texas. Now, she's won Pennsylvania.
Problem is, it doesn't mean anything.
Because of the Democratic Party's arcane proportional-representation rules, her win stands to give her a net gain of 10 to 15 delegates when all is counted. That means that Barack Obama will fall from a lead of 161 in elected delegates to about 145 or so. Big deal.
The primaries coming up in the next two weeks - Indiana and North Carolina - are likely to give Obama back a goodly portion of those delegates. By the time all the primaries have been held, after June 3, there is no doubt that Obama will lead by more than 100 elected delegates, and likely 150. From there, it will be an easy route to the nomination.
The Democratic superdelegates aren't about to risk a massive and sanguinary civil war by taking the nomination away from the candidate who won more elected delegates. If they ever tried it, we'd see a repeat of the demonstrations that smashed the 1968 Chicago convention and ruined Hubert Humphrey's chances of victory.
Clinton won Pennsylvania for two key reasons: Only Democrats could vote in the primary, and the Keystone State electorate is dominated by the elderly, who are staunchly for Clinton.
Despite her claims of electability, Hillary has never done well among independent voters. And Obama usually loses the Democrats. Pennsylvania's closed-primary rules gave her a key advantage.
Older voters are flocking to Clinton as fears mount of what Obama might do as president mount. But those under 45 - less focused, perhaps, on race - are moving toward Obama. Here, that split helped her.
Of the 50 states, only Florida has a higher over-65 proportion of its population. But there's a key difference: Florida's elderly moved there - Pennsylvania's are the folks that are left after the young people moved away.
Pennsylvania Democrats, in other words, suffer from future shock. They welcome old, established ways and embrace dynasties happily because they are so familiar. (Look at the Bob Caseys - dad was governor, the son is senator.)
But don't expect the open primaries of Indiana and North Carolina to behave like Pennsylvania's geriatrics. Both states are younger, especially North Carolina, and independents can vote in each primary. (North Carolina is where a lot of the young people who fled Pennsylvania winters and job losses ended up).
Over the next two weeks, we'll be treated to much hoopla about how the Democratic race is once again up for grabs. Then, on May 5, Hillary's hopes will be dashed once more.
And then? After the votes are counted in all the primaries, look for the Gang of Four - Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean and John Edwards - to join together and issue a challenge to the superdelegates: Make up your minds.
Together, they'll probably demand that these appointed delegates commit to one candidate or the other by mid June. And since the primaries will have lifted Obama over 1,900 delegates (elected and super), he'll only need about 100 more, out of about 300 uncommitted superdelegates.
Their hands forced, enough superdelegates will go to Obama to put him over the top - he'll be the candidate.
That's all, fools.
