- euroh, on 03/30/2008, -6/+73I can't believe that 42% of people still support Clinton after all she has said and done in the past two months let alone the past couple years. She publicly stated in great detail numerous times that she was under sniper fire and when that video is dug up out of the archives she attributed it to "sleep deprivation?" I mean come on.
- RansomHoldiay, on 03/30/2008, -2/+60at this point she has to convincingly win every race primary left. the calls for her to bow out will get a lot louder as soon as north carolina and indiana roll around. my guess is the party will go ahead and move on without her and a decent number of super delegates will start to shift.
- Sererena, on 03/30/2008, -1/+54Would it be unfair for me to forward the theory that the only reason she's still in the race is because a lot of women are voting for her not because of the issues, but because they just really like the idea of a female president?
And this is coming from a woman. - Qyasogk, on 03/30/2008, -6/+42Its embarrassing that given the large (freaking gigantic) disparity in the performance and quality of the two candidates, that 42% still think that Hillary is the better candidate. Exactly how deep in the sand do their heads have to be buried to believe it?
- marv0, on 03/30/2008, -17/+50GOBAMA!
- ileftfark, on 03/30/2008, -16/+47FTA: "Update at 4:20 p.m. ET: Rasmussen Reports, which is tracking the Democratic race in polls that cover four nights as opposed to Gallup's three, today has the race at Obama 47%, Clinton 42%"
With a margin of error included (which was not stated), the difference is minimal. Also, Obama is not doing nearly as well in upcoming states (the ones that still have delegates to contribute) like Pennsylvania, where he is trailing by double digits.
Not anti-Obama, just trying to get some perspective. - FOcast, on 03/30/2008, -0/+29Some more perspective, then.
According to CNN's delegate calculator, even if Hillary wins every single remaining election by double digits (55-45) AND wins Pennsylvania by 20%... She's still behind on delegates.

- fani, on 03/30/2008, -2/+24Hillary (waking up at 3am ):"Quick ! Someone bring back Rev. Wright... I'm down hopelessly in the polls"
- BabushkaBlue, on 03/30/2008, -3/+25Those 42 percenters must have been impressed by Hillary's heroic actions in Bosnia.
- lexpattison, on 03/30/2008, -0/+21That margin of error works both ways buddy.
- pilot3033, on 03/30/2008, -9/+28good news everyone
- iviasterlambo, on 03/30/2008, -5/+20okay sean hannity
- euroh, on 03/30/2008, -2/+16Yes, I think this would be fair to assume. Oprah received tons of hate mail after she started talking about support Obama on her show, many of her fans claimed she was putting her race ahead of her sex.
- mbauer14, on 03/30/2008, -8/+22yes we can!! (well obama can)
- Gerz1219, on 03/30/2008, -3/+16No, Obama believes that he'll look better as a candidate if he magnanimously states that the opponent he's already beaten should stay in the race after losing. It makes him look like a uniter and the practitioner of a new politics, as he's stated all along. He really wants Hillary to drop out ten minutes ago and support him. Every attack ad she runs in Pennsylvania will hurt him in the general.
- rickozz, on 03/31/2008, -3/+14Hillaryous definition: When someone describes a situation in a way that benefits their selfish goals, despite all of evidence to the contrary (reality).
1. Obama leads Hillary Clinton in delegates by 121, popular vote by almost 750,000, he also leads in the number of states won. However, Senator Bayh of Indiana, who backs Clinton for president, proposed a new Hillaryous gauge by which superdelegates might judge whether to support Clinton or Obama. He suggested that they consider the electoral votes of the states that each of them has won. What a hillaryously undemocratic method to override the will of the majority of the voters in the Democratic party.
2. Governor Bill Richardson’s endorsement was eagerly sought by the Clinton camp. However, since Richardson endorsed Obama, Clinton strategist Mark Penn Hillaryously told reporters that he didn't think it was a "significant endorsement."
3. James Carville Hillarously told the New York Times that Richardson, a former member of Bill Clinton's Cabinet, had committed "an act of betrayal," adding that it "came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out [Jesus] for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic."
4. CBS News reports: Sixty-nine percent of voters who have heard or read about Obama’s speech say he did a good job addressing the issue of race relations, and 63 percent of voters following the events say they agree with Obama's views on race relations. Seventy-one percent say he did a good job explaining his relationship with Wright.
5. Clinton had significantly higher debts -- she owed $8.7 million, not including the $5 million she herself lent to her campaign. Obama only had about $625,000 in debt to be paid.Clinton had some $10.9 million in cash left at the end of February. Obama had over $30 million in cash left at the end of February. Today Sen. Clinton hillaryously laid out an economic plan for the country although she can’t manage her own campaign finances.
6. • Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn't cover the market back then.)
Whoppers She Won't Admit
• She didn't know about the FALN pardons.
• She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
• She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
• She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
• She opposed NAFTA at the time.
• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
• She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.
• The billing records showed up on their own.
• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
• She was always a Yankees fan. - crocodilexp, on 03/30/2008, -4/+14Is it *that* important what your priest is doing or saying? What about all the Catholics attending mass in churches where their priests were found to have sexually abused children (scandal few years back)? Should they all be tainted in some way?
BTW, my dentist is a really nutty fellow (but good at fixing teeth), hope that fact won't hurt me if I ever run for president... - Masticity, on 03/30/2008, -0/+10HOLY ***** I RETRACT MY PREVIOUS STATEMENT ABORT ABORT!!!
- DangerCollie, on 03/30/2008, -0/+9My parents are having a hard time letting go of Hillary. Rush Limbaugh endorsing her chipped away at her image. The sniper story folly, which was just bizarre. That got my mom saying that maybe Obama would be okay, but she still had concerns. My dad's still convinced he'd staff the White House with all black staffers. That's totally out of character for dad and I've got no idea where that came from. And they're still convinced the Republicans will swift boat him about being a Muslim. They're coming around but it's strange.
- kynn, on 03/31/2008, -2/+11Interestingly, this is exactly Ferraro's point about Obama, substituting gender for race.
I think both points are only half-truths. I bet that for every person who voted for Hillary solely because she is a woman there is another who voted against her solely for that reason. A similar argument can be made about Obama and the alleged impact of his race.
Still, I think that Hillary has made it this far in politics because she is married to Bill Clinton. Hillary is not a particularly gifted politician, like her husband is. She would have never been able to make it this far without his coattails. - inactive, on 03/30/2008, -9/+18Everybody needs to be cool and let the primaries run their (insanely drawn out) course. Clinton is starting to self-destruct, and, even as the democratic primaries are strengthening Obama, McCain is fading into the woodwork. It's all about Obama.
- SenorCardgage74, on 03/30/2008, -3/+12Go banana!
/Wiggum'd! - bigdoof, on 03/30/2008, -0/+8Larry from Cell Block D claims otherwise
- PoeticExplosion, on 03/30/2008, -1/+9Especially when the democrats are tearing each other down. When there's no Hillary attacking Obama, and the press starts covering the insane things McCain does rather than focusing on the democrats, those numbers will probably change.
- Shakawkaw, on 03/30/2008, -3/+10Nobody polled me.
- Masticity, on 03/30/2008, -1/+8HOLY ***** I RETRACT MY PREVIOUS STATEMENT ABORT ABORT!!!
- sulthernao, on 03/31/2008, -1/+8That was one of the more awkward things Clinton has done.
- Masticity, on 03/30/2008, -0/+7um.... huckabee?
- numlok, on 03/31/2008, -2/+9Jesus Christ Hillary... TAKE A ***** HINT!
- Joe_rigby, on 03/30/2008, -1/+7Hypoxia is one hell of condition.
- Daniel591992, on 03/30/2008, -1/+7Dugg for not saying Ron Paul
- Masticity, on 03/31/2008, -0/+6Um, can I just move to Canada instead?
- inactive, on 03/30/2008, -1/+7What the hell is the other 6% ?
- uuuuut, on 03/30/2008, -2/+7Hillary Clinton has a gigantic head. What's up with that humongous head??
- topgigmedia, on 03/31/2008, -0/+5Speaking of perspective... In 2000, Gore most likely won Florida and Bush has been president for the past 7+ years...
- LacanX, on 03/31/2008, -1/+6Have you like, seen the Rev's full speaches? They really arn't that bad. They just took the 5 bad things he said in 20 years and play them over and over out of context. Go on youtube and watch the full speaches. Sure, they arn't exacty 'patriotic' but they arnt anti-american. If my pastor said any of those things in the full context of when they were actually said I wouldnt think twice about it. Expesually some of them - his "god bless america? No No No, god DAMN america" that they play over and over again? He talked for like 10 or 15 min about racism and injustices in america before that which they just dont show you - he doesn't damn america - he is pretty much damning racism in america. They just took him saying "god damn america" and play it every 5 seconds.
Oh, and from before the fiasco to after it - obama droped i think 2 points in the national polls? Thats within the margin of error of the two diffrent polls so um, it didnt hurt him at all - or no moer then the bosnia thing hurt hillary...so, if it WAS this 'huge thing' he handled it really well and that just tells me he was going to be good in the Gen election b/c he can handle attacks from McCain. - LacanX, on 03/31/2008, -1/+6The article says "28 percent of people who identify themselves as hillary supporters", which means ~14% of democrats, not 28%. Also, that poll was taken when McCain is out of the limelite and the Dems are still tearing eachother appart, Clintons caught in one of her other lies, and people realise obama goes to an african american church. So most of those answers are just dem's who are pissed off a bit but when it comes to really voting in the gen election they won't swtich over without long hard thought. Same kind of polls came out last election and most of the ppl who said this ended up not swtiching.
- bigdoof, on 03/30/2008, -1/+6Speaking of perspective, read the full story:

McCain leads both Democratic candidates in head-to-head polls. - SenorCardgage74, on 03/30/2008, -1/+6And the jews are using aspartame to control the world's gold supplies, yeah yeah yeah we know already.
- deviouskoopa, on 03/30/2008, -1/+5You just saved a bunch of money by switch- *shot*
- forgiste, on 03/30/2008, -2/+6But that's a ridiculous claim. She's putting her interests ahead of her sex, not her race. Just because she happens to be black doesn't mean that that's why she's voting for Obama.
- iviasterlambo, on 03/31/2008, -0/+4okay Rush Limbaugh
- Mothrog, on 03/31/2008, -1/+5For your penance, you must bang Schmuckabee's wife AND spend the night.
- inactive, on 03/30/2008, -2/+6Proves some of her fans are ***** nuts. I like her now because of her support for Obama.
- - inactive, on 03/30/2008, -1/+5We forgive you. This time.
- parallax7d, on 03/30/2008, -1/+5...you sound like a big prick to me
- ileftfark, on 03/30/2008, -0/+4Please tell me you are confused.
Huckabee's wife: http://housewives4huck.com/photo_gallery/meet_jane ...
Now, Kucinich's wife, on the other hand... - peterinjapan, on 03/31/2008, -2/+6My mother likes Hillary because both are women in their sixties. It's really pathetic.
- ...---..., on 03/31/2008, -1/+5yeah - you're a big prick alright - but you still can't hang with us!
