- Gram1213, on 04/29/2008, -12/+147One drop out? If this was reversed and Clinton had won the most states, most delegates (forget the Super ones) and the MOST POPULAR votes by now....it would have been over long ago! Enough is enough. How many more times do we have to be insulted by the Clinton's changing the goal post for her nomination? The longer this goes on the longer our Party is going to be split apart more than it is now. People have had it! Remember one thing, Obama has brought more young people into our Party, more Independents, more Republicans and if this is taken away from him by Super Delegates....believe me, all those new people will rebel and either not vote or choose to vote AGAINST Clinton and we'll have 4 more years of Bush! (Frankly, I think Clinton's campaigning for 2012 anyway!) I'm tired, too, of the Media asking "Why can't Obama close the deal" instead of asking "Why hasn't Hillary closed the deal with her 35 yrs. of experience"?
- spaceman84, on 04/29/2008, -14/+126We're gonna go to Michigan, we're gonna go to Vermont, we're going to Cancun for Spring Break, we're gonna go to Montreal, we're goin' to Vancouver, I'm goin' all over the world! And then I'm comin' all the way to Washington DC to take back the White House!
BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I'm gonna kick open the door to the Oval Office and chop my *****' desk in half! BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! And then I'ma grab the the Secret Service like this and put him in a headlock and say BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! And then I'ma go straight into my bedroom and grab my wife like this and I'ma be like BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! - redcolumbine, on 04/29/2008, -7/+77You have a lot more faith in Senator Clinton than I do, but I sincerely hope you're right.
- littlequeenie, on 04/29/2008, -14/+70Why should he say Obama or Clinton? Doesn't Obama have more votes and delegates? Jeez, unless HRC throws the entire kitchen at him - which I don't put past her - and something ridiculous sticks - he will still be the one with the most votes and delegates.
- stonewaljacksn, on 04/29/2008, -2/+49because as chairman of the party Howard Dean seems to be the only damn person on the democratic side who isn't trying to alienate anyone. He is speaking as someone whose goal is to keep the party united.
- cr4ft, on 04/29/2008, -21/+58Listen, I want Obama to win....seriously, who doesnt? The fact is though, no one has the right to tell ANYONE to drop out.
Sure, Hillary is most-likely going to lose...but she's still fighting and that's admirable. I mean, if I was boxer and someone told me to "just quit" - I'd tell them to STFU....if it goes to the convention then let it go to the convention.
Eventually, Hillary will come to her own senses and realize that it's best for the party...so, I really couldn't give a monkey's ***** if I get dugg down...it's the truth and you know it - ProfessorSYM, on 04/29/2008, -9/+41"Sure, Hillary is most-likely going to lose...but she's still fighting and that's admirable."
Except that she is fighting dirty against another Democrat, and that is most definitely NOT admirable. The sad part is that if she ran completely on her own campaign platform, rather than throwing the "kitchen sink" at Obama (as her campaign so proudly declared they would), she would probably have clinched the nomination by now.
As for your presumption that Hillary will come to her senses and realize what's best for the party, methinks you haven't been paying attention to her behavior during the primary. The Clintons embody everything that is wrong with the Democratic party today. - christopheles, on 04/29/2008, -3/+29Clinton or Obama? Way to be decisive Howie.
- GRANDPAMUNSTER, on 06/11/2009, -1/+27Hey Dean, when are you and the rest of the dems we voted in to congress going to get us out of Iraq? Remember 2006
- ozymandias2012, on 04/29/2008, -14/+36Yeeahhhh!!!!!
- parisian327, on 04/29/2008, -8/+29I think this woman will have to be dragged kicking and screaming - her bloody fingernails clawing the carpet - before she ever quits this race. (cue maniacal screams!)....
- quetzzz, on 04/29/2008, -3/+23I find that my tin foil hat prevents my posts from getting buried.
- Diderotten, on 04/29/2008, -4/+23Howard Dean's NYAUUUURRRRGHtergate was a completely overblown exagerration. No matter how many times they showed the video, it doesn't make him a maniac. Between Clinton's crying and Mccain's temper, Howard Dean comes off like a sane member of society.
- johnn11238, on 04/29/2008, -1/+19The Michigan/Florida issue is dead. Their state legislatures rejected re-votes.
- didiman, on 04/29/2008, -11/+29As they should have. Only a moron would be opposed to such a law.
- ADVIZR, on 04/29/2008, -3/+20To be fair, it's not Dean's fault that Michigan and Florida completely violated the rules, knowing full-well the terms. The fact that Dean is upholding the rules means that he has real integrity. That's a good thing. Those states had the option of paying for new primaries but have not done so.
I think Obama will come out from all of this much stronger. Reality will set in with most Americans -- liberals, independents, libertarians, conservatives -- that it's time to repair some of the crimes of the Bush & neocons: their pillaging the US and the world's resources. - Nougat, on 04/29/2008, -4/+21ch33z3m3 - I had to spell your nick with four "3s" because you're an idiot.
- noahhoward, on 04/29/2008, -4/+21So the true democratic process is misinformed decision based on lies and deceit?
- nosecohn, on 04/29/2008, -2/+18Apparently Dean doesn't think Hillary's going to push to seat Michigan and Florida at the convention. I hope he knows something that we don't.
- lazyfisherman, on 04/29/2008, -3/+19Does anyone else find these MSM "Clinton up by 9 points against McCain" momentum stories disturbing? It's like they've given her the green light and a second chance. She's losing but if this positive Clinton PR keeps going, who knows what could happen. The media has turned on Obama and he needs to end her campaign fast..
McCain vs. Clinton.. won't vote for either of these two horrible choices. - Arishia, on 04/29/2008, -16/+32Give Dean a break. He is up against the Clinton political machine.
- Pherdnut, on 04/29/2008, -4/+20or July... or whenever you guys think one of you should uh.. you know... if you feel like it.
- str1fe, on 04/29/2008, -7/+23You missed the point. Putting someone like Hillary or McCain in office would effectively be 4 more years of bush.
- Lobstertacular, on 04/29/2008, -0/+15My search query: "byaaaaah"
Google: Did you mean "byaaah"?
Why yes, yes I did - str1fe, on 04/29/2008, -2/+17He'll probably get buried, but iPirate brings up a good point. These past several months are the closest thing we have to the democratic process, might as well enjoy them.
- ninetimes, on 04/29/2008, -3/+17Oh, he lost? I guess I kept missing that part of the debate, where they declared the winner.
- crweaks23, on 04/29/2008, -2/+16um... actually it was hillary whining about unfair questions and blaming the media for her numbers... and obama was the superior debater in every contest but one... the ABC "debate" in which both candidates sucked, but obama was grilled the hardest. If you're a hillary supporter, great, but think through for a second at the fact that a former presidents wife with ties to a significant number of people and organizations plus a huge lead in early polls is now fighting tooth and nail against a newcomer. This should have been an easy win for hillary if she was a good candidate. The majority of us think she is not.
- exomni, on 04/29/2008, -3/+17Uh, yeah they do. It's the democrat's party, not Hillary Clinton's. Everyone who gives a ***** about the democratic party's chances of winning in November should be telling Hillary to drop out, they have every right and every obligation to.
- KraftDinner101, on 04/29/2008, -1/+15Then I'm gonna wash, I'll wash up and be like BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
- johnn11238, on 04/29/2008, -2/+15Dean has NO power to make ANYONE do ANYTHING. Traditional party power is concentrated in the the states, not the national office. It's been that way for decades.
- BinaryDelt, on 04/29/2008, -4/+16Yeah, arguing over sniper fire and pastors is really democracy. People stopped voting based on the issues over a month ago. It's silly season now.
- presidentblogs, on 04/29/2008, -15/+27if she cant win in indiana, id be betting she will pull the pin - lest she be totally seen as the absolute spoiler.
- Acewrap, on 04/29/2008, -1/+12Because he is the head of the DNC, he can not give an endorsement, which telling Hillary to drop out would amount to.
- pintomp3, on 04/29/2008, -4/+15always has been.
- magneticdozer, on 04/29/2008, -3/+13Dean should enter them in American Gladiator.
- oldhick, on 04/29/2008, -5/+14That's really democratic... Have the party force someone out who's actually gaining traction and subvert the whole process. The Convention is when this ***** gets sorted out and the party selects their candidate. Thats how the process was created and that's the point of the Convention... Oh well, might as well change the rules now.
- Digger1218, on 04/29/2008, -0/+9@professor, the way I see it, every American including Rev.Wright has the right to exercise their first amendment rights. Military service is irrelevant in relation to rights.
- ProfessorSYM, on 04/29/2008, -3/+12Yeah, the problem is that she may actually win Indiana.
Obama needs to step it up and take her out at the knees (which he should have done in Pennsylvania). I'm not talking about using the same kind of insinuation and Rove tactics that Clinton has been using, but at the very least pointing out the dishonest, hypocritical, mean-spirited and gutter politics behavior she has been exhibiting this primary season.
The sad part is that if they had focused solely on promoting the ideas listed in their campaign platforms during this primary season rather than breaking each other down, the winner would have emerged naturally with no harm done to the party. I blame Chairman Dean for letting it get out of hand (and for not having the balls to stand up to the Clintons when they went negative). - lewhich, on 04/29/2008, -4/+13Well, she's the one going around talking about experience ... and the media always fails to mention that Nixon was the most experienced president while Lincoln was the least. Hell, even Bush had plenty of experience (while Kenedy had almost none) ... do you see the trend?
- dibling, on 04/29/2008, -3/+12McCain should drop out. Wait... what was this story about?
- cheeze_ballz, on 04/29/2008, -5/+14this may be a dumb question, but what am I supposed to take from that? I thought that was standard procedure (it is here anyways) -- I'm not sure what you're implying.
- devophl, on 04/29/2008, -3/+12She probably will win Indiana. I think it would be an upset for Obama to win there because the demographics that led Hillary to big wins in Ohio and Pennsylvania are very true in Indiana as well. The only reason Obama is close is because of Illinois being next door.
Also, I don't see Hillary leaving before the convention. I think she has proven that white America has a serious issue with Obama and throughout the primaries, in nearly every state, Obama has been unable to get more than 35-40% of the white vote. He has not even made a dent into Hillary's support there. Many supporters of Hillary are quick to point this out. Obama has a race issue.
So until we can convince America that Obama is not black, he is not Muslim, he is not hyper liberal, that he does have the experience, there will be a glass ceiling on what he can get in a general election. The Clinton camp thoroughly believes nominating Obama means sure loss in November. Even though I don't believe it, I do believe Obama will have a harder time winning in November than Hillary.
So because of this, I can't see Hillary dropping out before the convention. Her whole ploy now is that Obama is unelectable and to give in now would be giving in to her core belief. And I also believe that many in the higher echelons of the Democratic party also believe this.
Barring something major, this is going to Denver! - 11oops, on 04/29/2008, -0/+84/29/08
Hillary tops McCain in a heads-up match by 9 points, Obama equal to McCain.
http://news.google.com/news?oe=UTF-8&rls=org.mozil ... - amawg9, on 04/29/2008, -2/+10He is the Chairman of the Democratic Party.
- ninetimes, on 04/29/2008, -0/+8I think Dean has implied that the delegates will be seated, but some arrangement will be made (such as automatically splitting them 50/50).
However, the issue isn't entirely his decision. - kipmartin, on 04/29/2008, -1/+9what special powers does Dean have? if shes staying in to the bloody, embarrasing end, well, thats her choice. i mean, im for Obama and all, but she can do what she wants with regards to staying in. look at Ron Paul! hes still pissing them off over at the Pinhead party.
- stonewaljacksn, on 04/29/2008, -2/+10ClassiC! if that was obama it would be front page!
- LomasLou, on 04/29/2008, -7/+154/29/08
