- TheBogie, on 05/07/2008, -2/+2I think the people "scrorned" by Hilliary are the ones laughing now. The ones who carried water for her (I mean you Stephenopolous) are the ones crying in their beer right now. They bet on the wrong horse (just like Hilliary).
Hope you enjoy your lack of credibility George Stephenopolous!! On the bright side, no one really respected you anyway.

- irightthebook, on 05/07/2008, -6/+48There is now no reason for superdelegates to avoid backing Obama. Not only did Clinton lose NC by heavy margins, she also almost suffered defeat in Indiana. It was an upset. Add to that another $6.4 million in loans and the impossibility of reaching needed totals in pledged delegates or the popular vote – even if Florida and Michigan are counted – and it becomes evidently clear that Obama is the party's nominee.
Please, Senator Clinton. Drop out now. Don't disrespect voters by forcing us to pay back your silly loans.- chrissku, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3The race to the nomination is over. It's clearly over. Hillary is just a fly in the ointment now.
- xenuxenuts, on 05/07/2008, -2/+1so, if she drops out, who'll repay those loans? Will it just be a loss? If she stays in and spends very little, she might be able to have her campaign pay back those loans.
- elipabst, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1I do have to wonder about that, especially after her plea for donations during the Indiana speech. Her and Bill are in for over 11.4 million dollars right now, so if they stick around for a few more weeks and drum up some cash it certainly might help them get some of that back.

- Jexie, on 05/07/2008, -1/+18He's the strawman delusional conservatives try to mock up to deal with the fact that their zombie candidate McCain is going to be the poster boy for the decimation of the Republican party in November.
- highdimension, on 05/07/2008, -1/+7You're in denial at this point my friend. It's okay, I give props to Hillary for being so tenacious. The only thing is, people can see right through it, that's why she did not win. Nice try though.
- jackalsclaw, on 05/07/2008, -0/+8the way you support hillary is insulting obama? is that really all you have?

- HonestAbe, on 05/07/2008, -5/+15She knows she's lost. She's only staying in it for one reason: She went into debt paying for her campaign, and she can keep getting money from her donors to pay it off if she stays in the race.
- AndrewDB, on 05/07/2008, -1/+5That's only if her donors don't give the money to Obama.
- highdimension, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4That's sad. Aren't her supporters the blue-collared white working-class? Nice way of taking money out their pockets that could go into putting food on the table, to pay off your own debt. Hopefully these people are smarter than that.
- antlerboy, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3thats simply not true at all. she already had lent her campaign $6.4m in the last month because her supports were not donating enough funds. if she continues in the race, she goes even farther into dept.
- PolarBearCa, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Which department is she going farther into?
- elipabst, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3I think she was legitimately trying to win IN and NC, so she was still doing a significant amount of advertising. If she tries to do it on the cheap and does a minimal amount of advertising then she might be able to pocket incoming money from any suckers who still want to donate.
- HonestAbe, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1The important point is whether she is spending more now than she is receiving.
- CarStan, on 05/07/2008, -3/+12He may not be a superdelegate, but he is the guy who's campaign Hilary worked for 35 years ago and she never got tired of mentioning this when she was in Texas. I hope someone in Hilarys campaign staff now has the courage to show her how to usa a calculator
- thanakar, on 05/07/2008, -18/+6At last count Obama still didn't have the 2025 delegates needed to clinch. It ain't over till its over.
- irightthebook, on 05/07/2008, -0/+12He needs 35 more delegates to win a majority of pledged delegates, a number the campaign expects to reach on May 20th. And the math is most certainly on his side. It may not technically be over, but for all intents and purposes, it's over.
- thanakar, on 05/07/2008, -3/+2If this thing is decided by anything other than popular vote then the voters will have lost.
- PaisleyTeal, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1not the way we lost in 2000
- irightthebook, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Even with Florida and Michigan included, Obama will have won the popular vote. What metric do you want to go by next?
- dinot, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Next the Clinton supporters would say "the one with the LEAST popular votes should be the winner, since winning less of the popular votes means that people aren't voting for them, and when people aren't voting for that person, then it means she's the most electable candidate! OMG snipers!"
- jackalsclaw, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2are you using the hillary math where you count florida and michigan (where obama wasn't on the ballet) , and DON"T count any of the caucus states.
- Nosferax, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Even if she wins all the remaining state she will still lose since the delegate are distributed proportionnaly, so Obama's lead grows even when he lose.
- thanakar, on 05/07/2008, -3/+2If this thing is decided by anything other than popular vote then the voters will have lost.
- eibborjames, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2You can't be serious!

It's over. The question now is: Is (2) gonna pull out a pistol and shoot (1) in the back after it crosses | ? - Zipko, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4I thought we moved the goalposts again. Isn't it 2209 now? Clinton's thinking too small with that number IMO. If she said Obama needs 5000 delegates to win then all of the sudden it's impossible for him to win and she'd have to be the nominee by default.
- Lyk4n, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Actually, it is..
- jellygraph, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1It's over... the only way it ain't over for Clinton is if she steals the nomination... but, boy, that will cause chaos. People would leave the democratic party overnight.

- Masefield, on 05/07/2008, -2/+14She isn't going to withdraw regardless of political reality. Her ego (along with Bill's) is greater than delegate counts and popular vote.
- parisian327, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3Ego & Pride & Arrogance & Being completely in denial & Ignoring the will of the American people. She can't leave soon enough to suit me. Don't let the door hit your butt on the way out, Hillary.
- elipabst, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Yeah I find it rather prophetic that the horse she backed during the Kentucky derby stuck in there all the way to the finish line, but still only managed to get second place and broke both its legs in the process. Hopefully she doesn't have to be euthanized in the end as well.

- drowningfish, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4In my opinion any finishing blow; when it comes to an endorsement, will come from Al Gore. I doubt he will make one while she is still running. But the dam will just give way at that point.
- radiofrequency, on 05/07/2008, -3/+1Al Gore is a loser, as is John Kerry. Ted Kennedy is a real-life Jabba the Hut. An endorsement from any of them is a negative, not a positive.

Might I remind you that 3 months ago, many Republicans said Obama had "NO CHANCE" to win the Democratic nomination. Where are those poeple now? They're saying pretty much what you just said, while crossing their fingers and praying that they're right. McCain will self-destruct the moment he has a face-to-face debate with Barack Obama.
No to a Bush 3rd term. - GrogInOhio, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2It'll be FAR more interesting to watch you eat these words.

- uselessexpert, on 05/07/2008, -2/+6Now, all of Hillary's supporters need to do is wake her up from her dream of becoming the president and make her drop out.
Last night, was a complete embarrassment and a blow out for her campaign.
Maybe, she is beginning to see it? NO!..... I think the super delegates will finally have to not just put their foot down, but more like shove it up her ass so she can finally drop out! - RRJackson, on 05/07/2008, -9/+3"Screw the political process!!! The other guy is nearly 2.3% ahead in total votes cast!"
Heh...it's fun to watch Democrats reject democracy. - XxtraLarGe, on 05/07/2008, -7/+2I just wonder, are all of the Diggers who are trashing Chillary right now going to do a 180 if by some accident she becomes the nominee? It would be fun to see all of you justifying your support when you've vilified her so much. At least Ron Paul supporters are consistent.
- Codee, on 05/07/2008, -3/+3Your statement is ridiculously hypothetical and virtually impossible, as Hillary days are all but numbered. You sound like you just needed to find a reason to jack off Ron Paul one more time. Get over it already, I have, McCain won.
- cha5e, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1Ok, hypothetically say Obama dies in a car crash tomorrow, or from a disease that he's been keeping under wraps. Then Hillary would be the nominee. And although I voted for Obama yesterday, in that situation, yes, of course I'd then support Hillary. She's delusional and makes my skin crawl, but she's still better than McCain. Just not to the degree that Obama is.
- Codee, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I don't even want to think like that, because Hillary has shown she is actually whole lot like McCaiin. Yet, if these things freakishly transpired, I would vote for the person that had my best interest at heart. Al Gore.

I give props to Hillary for being a formidable candidate, and she can stay in as long as she wants to, but all Democrats need to UNITE. This is not about Hillary, Obama, or McCain, it's about getting our country back. Bringing the troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, improving our reputation around the world, and ending our predjudices against one another.

- jmichaelg, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Nixon so trounced McGovern that the Dem leadership didn't want another case of the party faithful putting up a candidate that was so far off the mainstream that they'd get thrashed again. Their solution was the system that's in play today.
Tough as it is for all the Obama supporters out there, the fact is the Wright/Ayers links are going to be used to paint Obama as too far to the left to be President. Like it or not, it's going to work and the next president will be McCain. Less of course, McCain does something completely brain dead between now and November.- cha5e, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Does being a warmongering Bush clone count as being "completely brain dead"? Oh wait, yes, it does.

Wait, that doesn't really work.
Umm, it's a draw because...hhhmm, ahem, oh there it is! Here you go, it's a draw because see he didn't win the votes that count! Umm, nope. that doesn't fly either.
I think you're right. She is deluded. - rowlodge, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1its a news story because its a news story, nothing else.
- abortionsforall, on 05/07/2008, -0/+0She knows it was not a draw. She is not stupid, but she hopes enough people out there are stupid. She is just spinning as usual and sure enough her fanatics continue to buy into it. She is banking on the fact that there are people out there that are clueless and it is working for her. There are actually people out there who believe every word she, or any politician, say. Her speeches are geared towards those people. For those of us that pay attention to what goes on we just sit there and say, "WTF?" but the sheep eat it up.

- NATED066, on 05/07/2008, -3/+2At this point Obama should consider (as a token) seating the Florida and Michigan delegates. Clinton would receive 192 and Obama would receive 70. Obama would still be in the lead by 34+ delegates and would gain MAJOR credibility for being more than fair. This would also help his chances in those states come the general election.
- s14sh3r, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Regardless of what you hear the Clinton camp saying, It's not up to Barack.
- cha5e, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I agree with you that Obama should at this point go on record in support of counting MI and FL. He'll still win even if they're counted, and he'll look better for suggesting that they be counted. Of course, it's ultimately up to Dean and co.

- radiofrequency, on 05/07/2008, -5/+1Hillary has more delegates than Obama unless you conveniently throw out delegates from Florida and Michigan.
Sure, Obama didn’t run in those two states but it’s his loss. Let’s just say that his total disregard for the votes of 2.5million Americans over a technicality was his first “presidential decision”... his 3am phonecall, if you will.- s14sh3r, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2I was going to respond to you, but instead I'll just say how sad I feel for you. I sincerely hope you're not as stupid as you sound.
- radiofrequency, on 05/07/2008, -2/+1All I can tell you is electing a nominee without counting the votes of two states makes about as much sense as letting the Supreme Court decide who won the presidency.
How does your fanatical support for an unqualified candidate justify your calling people who disagree with you "stupid"?- cha5e, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3Obama has more, even if you DO count Michigan and Florida. Here is the math:
* Without MI and FL, Obama is leading by 149.5 (Obama has 1845.5 and Clinton has 1696)
* In Florida, Clinton got 105, and in Michigan she got 73, for a new total of 1874.
* In Florida, Obama got 67. That's 1912.5, without even going into the argument of whether or not he gets the Michigan delegates for those who voted "uncommitted".
(All my numbers are from the Wikipedia pages on "2008 democratic primary", "Florida democratic primary, 2008", and "Michigan democratic primary, 2008") - nicc, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2the Supreme Court did NOT decide who won the Presidency in 2000.
as for Michigan and Florida, while it was the Republicans who pushed through the idea to move the primaries up, all the Democrats had to was oppose. the DNC said if the local Dems in those states opposed the measure, even if it passed and the primaries were pushed forward, the states would not be punished and their delegates would be seated.
the local Dems refused and were thusly punished. get over it and stop spreading lies please.
- cha5e, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3Obama has more, even if you DO count Michigan and Florida. Here is the math:
- cha5e, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3...and secondly (sorry for the double post), I hope you realize it's not Obama causing MI and FL to not be counted so far.
* It was those states committees that gave the finger to the national committee by choosing to break the rules.
* It was the national committee who put FL and MI in the penalty box
Obama had no control over it...although I do agree that he should call for those votes to be counted.

- enigmaneo, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I think it's a moot point. Obviously the only way to fairly seat the Michigan and Florida seats is to have a re-vote. They will probably split a little with Hillary winning but not enough to beat Obama in popular or Delegate vote. Why waste the money? If you want those States seated why don't you pay for the re-votes?
- radiofrequency, on 05/07/2008, -4/+1Obama didn’t run in those two states but it’s his loss. Let’s just say that his total disregard for the opinion of 2.5million Americans over a technicality was his first “presidential decision”... his 3am phonecall, if you will.
- cha5e, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1Again, stop spreading lies and half-truths.
Neither Obama nor Hillary campaigned in Florida or Michigan, so if you're calling him out for not campaigning, either call her out too or admit you're a hypocrite.
On the other hand, if by "didn't run in those two states" you mean his name wasn't on the ballot, he was on the ballot in Florida so you're only half correct.
And again, it was the DNC and state committees, not Obama, whose actions resulted in FL and MI not being seated (yet). True, he didn't object to that, which was kind of slimy of him. But if he had objected to it, that would be like him saying "you can slap me in the face and I'll sit here and take it", and then you'd be sitting here today writing about him being a pansy.- radiofrequency, on 05/08/2008, -2/+2At a minimum, I think Obama's failure to defend the will of voters makes him completely unsuitable for presidency. He talks a good game about change and character, but when it comes time to provide the kind of change that fights to count votes by the people or show the kind of character that stands by principles this country was built on - even in the face of losing by a few delegates - he comes up short.
- cha5e, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Hmm...okay, I can respect that. I don't know that I agree with you that it makes him "completely unsuitable for presidency" but I definitely think it's a negative mark on his report card. But for me it probably only moves him from a B+ to a B, or maybe from an A- to a B+. Then again, I recognize that I might feel differently if I lived in Michigan or Florida.

- s14sh3r, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2I was going to respond to you, but instead I'll just say how sad I feel for you. I sincerely hope you're not as stupid as you sound.
- lewhich, on 05/07/2008, -2/+2Its time to focus our energy on that neocon zombie nominee and forget about hillbitch
- hasslinthehoff, on 05/07/2008, -2/+2She fought the good fight, and now it's time to help Obama win the White House. To keep going is only going to show that she's as power-hungry and self-serving as her critics have accused.
- rowlodge, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1bitch is never going away.
- chrissku, on 05/07/2008, -2/+1Hillary needs the 3 M's...Money....Momentum.....Math. She has none. Thus she is finished.
- Ricemanstm, on 05/07/2008, -4/+2He is the antithesis of everything this country stands for. He's a complete and total Obamanation...
- IconoclastStill, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1His candidacy was rejected in 1968, he has not changed and his endorsement of obie simply demonstrates how utterly out of touch obie is with mainstream America.
- gentlax13, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1Clinton should call Obama and essentially concede but not drop out. They should agree to run an entirely positive campaign and go after McCain. They should also agree to do a re-vote in Florida and Michigan and drag this thing out to the convention floor. It's needs to be a democratic love fest the whole time though, no more negative stuff. This way the MSM will continue giving Barak and Hilliary all of their airtime and McCain will get nothing. They have a monopoly on political discussion right now and they can use this time to build up Obama. Clinton can go down as the fighter she is (making the Rocky reference more apt) and Obama will be far more nationally known and on peoples mind than McCain. If Clinton and Obama agree to go only for positives then Obama will come out looking brilliant instead of someone who survived a mudslinging competition.
- cha5e, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1It's a nice idea...unfortunately the FL (on March 17th) and MI (in April) committees already decided not to do a re-vote, so that portion of your plan likely won't come to fruition.

- taradisiac, on 05/07/2008, -0/+0Who cares what this guy has to say, he's one of the biggest losers, probably trying to get a bone.
- Treoinmypocket, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1LOL - Democrats should be pathologically suspicious of any "advice" from McGovern.
- JackDBlack, on 05/07/2008, -0/+0Well, if that great winner George McGovern advises Hillary to get out, what else can she do? Here's hoping that Barack Obama wins by the same margin that George McGovern did.
