Pennsylvania Ohio was manipulated you don’t need to be. Hillary needs you in order to pr9ove to the Super delegates that she is the most delectable. She says Ohio dismissing what the other states have said, has spoken and they want her as President and (get this) she would consider Barack as a running mate. She NEEDS Barack as a running mate to beat John McCain. She needs his ideas, inspiration, oration, community organization skills to attract the voters to the polls. The same skills she denounces him for, are the same skills that attracted her to her husband and the same skills she lacks and needs in order to be an effective leader.
Co-dependent she is not a changer, she is an enablers with poor judgment, who feels entitled to the presidency based on her husbands legacy. He may owe her but we don’t. She said to Ohio I am a fighter and they bought it. When Barack beat her in Iowa she cried and went and got her husband to fight for her. We need a leader who can fight her own battles. When the democratic party told Bill to back off, she lost 12 straight.
She is fighting to get into the white house, that does not translate into fighting for us. She is only campaigning in large states, she is not interested in the people she is interested in the states with the largest delegates. She is indebted to major corporations who funded her campaign, because they do not want change. Her only fight will be for them. She may do some window dressing but that is all we will get.

I would take McCain over these two clowns any day of the week.
"I think Barack Obama has a much stronger chance of beating John McCain in the general election. I think Hillary is flawed in many ways, and particularly if you look at her husband's unwillingness to release the names of the people who contributed to his presidential library. And the reason that is important -- you know, are there favors attached to $500,000 or $1 million contributions? And what do I mean by favors? I mean, pardons that are granted; investigations that are squelched; contracts that are awarded; regulations that are delayed. These are important questions. The people deserve to know. And we deserve, as Democrats, to know before a nominee is selected, because we don't want things to explode in a general election against John McCain." --Bill Bradley--(D)New Jersey

Hillary Clinton promised 200,000 new jobs to upstate New York and didn't deliver. She lost jobs. She also had routinely misrepresented her past and current intentions regarding Nafta.

Superdelegates need to consider all these facts before they side with Clinton.
As far as the delegates in Michigan and Florida Hillary wants them seated because this could give her a very unfair advantage. She signed the pledge, if she really cared about the delegates she would have disavowed the pledge she signed. She should abid by the rules , split the delegates equally.

After the Clintons were severely criticized for falsely trying to characterize Obama's position against the war as "a fairy tale," they began desperately trying to denigrate Senator Obama in every conceivable way including “throwing the kitchen sink” at him, which even included the ridiculous charge that he is somehow unfit to be Commander in Chief as President of the United States, but, of course, he is imminently qualified to be vice president and could take over in a moment’s notice. The best way for Americans to get such nonsense out of American politics is to refuse to vote for candidates who will say and do virtually anything to get themselves elected.
Perhaps the most widespread misconception about Barack Obama that has been forcefully expounded by both Hillary Clinton and John McCain is that because he is younger than both of them he therefore must be too inexperienced to be president.
Senator John McCain is 71 years old, Senator Hillary Clinton is age 60 and Senator Barak Obama is 46 years of age. But America has had both younger and older individuals who have served with great distinction as president such as Theodore Roosevelt who became president at age 42, John Kennedy who assumed the presidency at age 43, and Ronald Regan who was sworn in as the Commander in Chief on January 20, 1981 at age 69.
Bill Clinton became president at age 46 after having served 12 years as the governor of Arkansas, but without having had any experience whatsoever in Washington. Before Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office in 1860 to become our 16th president he had previously served 8 years as an Illinois state legislator and 4 years in the U.S. Congress, which incidentally just happens to have been precisely Barack Obama’s experience. If Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States on January 20, 2009 he will have served 12 years as an elected legislator which include 8 years as an Illinois State Senator and 4 years as a U.S. Senator and he will be 47 years old.
In the 1960 Democratic primary election Senator John Kennedy was also told he was too young and inexperienced to be president, then by such notable members of the "old guard" as Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Adlai Stevenson, and Lyndon Johnson. Kennedy was told to wait his turn! But, of course JFK won the 1960 Democratic primary and went on to defeat Richard Nixon in the general election despite Nixon's protest that "Kennedy is too young and inexperienced to be President." It wasn't true then about John F. Kennedy and it isn't true now about Barack Obama.
Voters should evaluate Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama not simply on the basis of their respective ages of 60 and 46 but look closely at how each of them approaches politics and consider their individual life experience, compare their respective judgment, character, vision, intelligence, imagination and creativity, and assess each one’s ability to unify America and actually bring about significant changes in Washington.
Barack Obama graduated from Harvard Law School Magna Cum Laude in 1991 and served as the President of the Harvard Law Review. Given those credentials he could have joined any number of prestigious law firms but instead felt compelled to give back to his local community, so he returned to his home in Chicago to direct a voter registration drive and work as an attorney representing community organizers working on voting rights and civil rights cases. In 1993 he became a lecturer of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago Law School and in 1996 was elected to the Illinois State Senate where he served 8 years prior to his landslide election to the US Senate in November 2004. With his combined service as an Illinois State Senator and US Senator as mentioned earlier, Barack Obama is currently serving in his 12th year as an elected legislator accountable to voters.
Hillary Clinton graduated from Yale law school in 1973 and has been a very active spouse of the governor of Arkansas and as the First lady of the United States before being elected to the US Senate from her adopted state of New York in 2000. She is currently serving in her 8th year as an elected legislator accountable to voters.
On October 2, 2002, Barack Obama’s judgment told him that starting a war in Iraq would be a big mistake and he forcefully said so. Much to the contrary later that same month both Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain voted for funds authorizing President Bush to begin the Iraq war.
When Barack Obama decided to run for president, unlike his opponents Hillary Clinton and John McCain, he made the significant decision that he would not accept campaign contributions from lobbyists and political action committees for his presidential campaign. It was Barack Obama’s judgment that the next President of the United States should be elected without being beholden to money peddlers in Washington or anywhere else.
Barack Obama’s opponents ridicule his inspirational rhetoric, such as his belief that together ordinary Americans can do extraordinary things. “Just high sounding words” and “big talk from a pied piper” they say. But when 1 million ordinary Americans with their credit cards each give $25-50 dollars with the click of a mouse to raise $25-50 million dollars for Obama’s campaign without the help of special interests, political action committees, lobbyists, $1000 a plate dinners, or huge contributions from American billionaires most of us think that’s pretty extraordinary.
Suppose Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination for president and on November 4, 2008 the majority of Americans decide to vote for the presidential candidate who among many other things has refused to accept campaign contributions from special interests, political action committees, and lobbyists but has financed his campaign solely from the contributions of people to whom he is accountable like you and me. And suppose this idea sits so well with the American people that candidates who accept such contributions in the future find it increasingly difficult to get elected or reelected.
What if lobbyists and political action committees continued to provide very detailed and useful information on virtually any and every issue of concern, but elected officials become increasingly reluctant to take their money because they fear they won’t get reelected if they do? Just more rhetorical hyperbole? Or might that actually be part of the process that the American people discover they can use to reclaim American Democracy?
