Stunner! Clinton wins Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island

And look at teeth smilin' house negroe Tubbs standing by her massa................

Well, looks like Rush Limbaugh got out the vote like he told his listeners for HEC, and, I for one will be grinning just like Tubby when HRC is beat like a runaway slave if she is the canidate in Novemeber. Anybody is better for the Whitre House than she is.

EXTRA EXTRA...Hillary wins in PA, WV, IN, and KY albeit not convincingly. Obama retains the delegate lead, the popular vote count and wins the most states. Come convention neither has the 2025 (OR 2024, whatever the number is now) to clinch and the Clinton's do what they do best...promise the world and say whatever it takes to secure the superdelegates and the nomination. Subsequently, the new youth voters and the african-american voters are disenfranchised to the extent that they have low turnout in November. McCain beat HRC, and the Democratic Party spends the next 20 years trying to repair their relationship with the african-american community. BUT, the Clinton's don't care about their party, they never have. They are a party all to themselves and they believe they know what's best for their pwitty wittle constituents.

@ Mr. Famu Brilliant...........You have seen the future indeed..

This is obviously going to the national convention, which is not a bad thing--given that we will likely get them on the same ticket....isn't that the ultimate win for everyone (democrats)?

Hillary may have won, but, at what expense? This race baiting will come back to haunt her and the DNC for years, and, now, she has a couple of other issues to face, half the country has already said they will never vote for her, add me to that list, and, two, does she really think that all the young, and voters for change who back Obama will switch to her? I think not, most will sit out the election, so, if she is the nominee, lets all get ready to welcome John McCain and his 100 year war in Iraq, and, no taxes for the rich, and, less healthcare and help for real Americans. But, have to give Hill her props, she knew that race would work in Ohio and Texas, and she played that card as well as she did in Nevada and California, she'll find out, that to win this vile way will bite her. Go Obama, stay in until the convention, and let her continue to show her true colors!

"We will turn words into ACTION, and hope into REALITY" GO HILLARY! I care not about making a statement for my people just "cuse". I want action for the entire country!

While I will respect the opinion of people, what perplexes is that people really take this woman seriously. People really believe that she “has their back”. Contrary to her argument that Barack is still "wet behind the ears" so to speak, she has a long enough track record that people can readily access, (senate voting record, universal healthcare failure and subsequent "buy out" by the special interest groups, her scathing campaign, etc.) to make a well-informed decision about the state of America. The dollar has depreciated to its lowest ever against the Euro. Oil prices have surpasses the OPEC crisis of the 80’s, foreclosures, repossessions, etc. Come on people WAKE UP! Ill probably get some slack on this one, but I am beginning to realize why the rest of the world thinks that Americans are stupid... BECAUSE WE ARE! If we cannot infer fact for fiction when it is right in front of our faces... THAT IS STUPIDITY at its worst! I watched Bill Mayer a couple of week ago. He aired footage from one of the Clinton rallies in Ohio. Middle aged, white women making fewer than 50k a year was the majority. They were having the greatest time, but I just shook my head... the Clinton administration is probably the biggest reason that things are so abysmal in Ohio now... yet people look beyond that and vote for her out of fear... did Mr. or Mrs. Clinton answer that phone at 3am when Rwanda was calling for aid? I think not... there are plenty other examples, I won't bore you with the details. Case and point, Americans fail to see that forest through the trees and, yet again, there is beginning to be a huge disparity between Black and white, young and old, rich and poor (poor also encompasses middle-class btw). Looks like we are back in 2000 with Bush and Gore again... which is truly sad. They don't call her the most polarizing woman in Politics for nothing. Washington HATES Hillary Clinton and many people share in that sediment. If she’s the nominee, democrats kiss your chance goodbye. I will vote independent. Peace.

Jay said------ "If she’s the nominee, democrats kiss your chance goodbye. I will vote independent. " While I agree with your entire post, that is what I think is going to happen on a mass level and I am right in line behind you......................In fact, black talk radio is already putting the call out for exactly that to happen, so I am spreading the word and will be an advocate for a national blackout/vote independent against the DNC if Clinton becomes the nominee because of Superdelegates...............

I am not stun by the results last night considering the way people usually do things in Ohio and Texas, plus Clinton made Obama look untrusting with NAFTA. Here is a great link from The Nation that every one should read! http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters?pid=294687

My people! A win over Hillary does not make Barack a shoe in for the general election this November. No one's talking about how we are going to beat John McCain and take back the White House. Naaaw, everybody is so focused on hating Hillary, that you've dropped the ball. I am a Hillary Clinton supporter all the way, but I would proudly support Barack Obama if he get's nomination. Some of you are in this just for the mere sport of it, which is quite sad. I'm not just about getting MY candidate the nomination. I'm about seriously taking back the White House this November, by any means necessary. I can't believe that some of you are actually saying that you would "sit this one out" this November, if your candidate does not get the nomination. Not participating in the voting process is like SPITTING on the graves of every African American that ever sacrificed their lives for YOUR right to vote in this country! By "sitting this one out," a lot of BLACK soldiers are getting STILL getting their heads blown off, fighting in a war that we NEVER should have been in. I have both friends and relatives over there, and it's no joke what their going through. Pulling out just because your person didn't get the nom is not help matters any. Believe it or not....This thing really is bigger than both Hillary and Barack.

Sorry, Jaye, HRC has done plenty of "spitting in the faces" of African American in this race for the white House in 2008, and, sorry, I will never vote for her, and might vote for McCain for her race baiting tactics, which her supporters never seem to have a reply for, along with the fact that she isn't qualified. As for those black solider's stuck in the combat zones, Hillary voted to send them in, and, there they are, so, sorry, that argument fails as well, she is as much a part of the problem in DC as anyone else, and, offers nothing for anyone, other than rich people like her, so, yep, this is one voter who won't vote for her as dog catcher. But, will vote for issues that are on the ballot in my area. So, it is true its bigger than HRC and Obama, but, no more casting a ballot for the lesser of two evils, when there is a real choice, Obama, who is being smeared with some vile, racist tactics from HRC, just go with McCain, or even Nader over HRC.

"Hillary voted to send them in, and, there they are" WOW!!! That's cold blooded! You REALLY want your man Barack to get the nom in the worse way, huh?! I didn't bring the war up as a selling point, to get you to support Hillary. If you support Barack, then more power to you. I guess young brothas and sistas dying in a pointless war isn't at the top of list for most Americans these days. Well, if your boy Barack gets the nom, I hope he has more compassion about bringing our troops home than you do. If you're THIS upset over what Hillary's camp has allegedly done to him, as far as smear tactics. Dude, you are going to going to have stroke, when the REPUBLICANS get a hold of him. If he get's the nom, they are going to CHEW HIM UP AND SPIT HIM OUT!!! This stuff that Hillary's so-called doing is a day at Disney World, compared to what the REPUBLICANS have up their sleeves. They practically invented mud slinging. Trust and believe, the republicans are NO JOKE when it comes to smear tactics. Just ask John Kerry, so get ready! Like I stated before, I'm just as happy to vote for Barack Obama if he gets the nom. Believe me or not, fighting with Hillary supporters will get us NO WHERE FAST. The real enemies are in the other party. I'm praying for a solution to this ugly mess.

Jaye, didn't mean to come off as 'fighting' I'll leave that for Hillary, but, all in all, nothing would ever get me to vote for her, sorry, her race baiting was and is too much. The GOP will try and eat Obama alive with their hate, that's what they do best, but, Hillary aka Rove has already given him a good taste, since her race baiting is on par with theirs, and, hopefully now, he will go after her, and expose her for the fraud that she is. As for the men and women fighting a war that can't and won't be won, I feel for them and hope they return home safely, but, then again, why a black person would fight for this country is a whole other can of worms, that from someone whose Father, and uncles all have served in the military. So, all that said, NEVER in a million years would I vote for her, and, I think that she and the Democratic party is going to find out, that savvy black voters in 2008 aren't going to be treated like this under the guise that its only politics, and, still be expected to vote for her.

jaye... Jaye, I am a little confused. Direct me to the section of the post where someone wrote they would "sit this one out" in November? I, for one, said that I WILL exercise my right to vote this election... just not for the Democratic Party! And dude, please don't read us the riot act on OUR history. Shit, it wasn't that long ago that we got the right to vote and some of us STILL remember the way things WERE in this country…from first hand experience, not from a book. So please, spare me the black history month lecture. Once the Republicans get to him? They won't have to do any work by the time that harpy gets done! The man has class... he has scruples... he has ethics. Are these attributes no longer American? Why do we not require the Commander-in-Chief to posses these qualities? Why are these standards being seen as a weakness of Barack's? If it were reversed, the country would be calling him the proverbial "angry black man" and saying that he is "attacking" poor ole' Hilary. Puuulease. Don't play on our intelligence... because WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH... If he ran his campaign like that winch, here’s where he could go. Pick a number…. 1. Norman Hsu ( that will be a fun one) 2. Peter Paul (which is set to go to trial next week and will make Rezko look like a walk in the park) 3. Mark Penn's ties to Charlie Black (McCain Chief advisor's firm) 4. HRC as a corporate lawyer destroying that 12-year-old rape victim on the stand 5. Billy & Hilly's ties to the Carlyle Group (deep ties in Saudi Arabia) 6. Withholding of tax returns 7. Whitehouse records Do you want me to go on? The republicans want to go against Hilary. They all voted for her in the Ohio election... the one and only Rush “asshole” Limbaugh promoted it, in part. Barack is trying not to go to that level, because CLEARLY there is enough to annihilate her and REALLY make her cry! Goodbye Dems... Another four years... sigh.

Jay, You need to calm your angry ass down, and YES you ARE confused! What in the HELL are you talking about, man?! If you choose to excercise your right to vote, then good for you! What do want...a cookie? You could vote for "Homie the clown" for all I care. It makes me no difference one way or the other, so you kill that noise you're talking! I just LOVE how fake ass, fair weather Obama "supporters" like YOU, try to come on here and act like you're SO down for the so-called movement of "change." I know your type, and negros like you. The moment he doesn't move the way you want him to, you'll turn on him like white on rice! I've seen that type of behavior happen within our culture all to many times, so save that shit for someone who ACTUALLY CARES!! Now how's THAT for some black history, and it ain't even February! LIKE I SAID BEFORE....I like and respect BOTH candidates. There are a lot of things I like about Obama's plan. I just prefer Hillarys vision over Barack's. If Barack gets the nom, I will fall in line with my party and vote for him. So dude, you can keep it moving with that "Yes we can," pie in the sky, fluffy BULLSHIT you're talking! We've ALWAYS had hope, we needs some damn HELP!

Regardless of who becomes president, it will be an improvement over the present president.

To all of my fellow Barack Obama supporters I will quote a scripture from the Bible in regards to this primary race with Obama that has great meaning and significance. Ecclesiastes 9:11 NIV "The race is not given to the swift, nor to the strong. But to HE who endureth till the end" Fellow Obama supporters just stay strong, steadfast, and vigilant. He is going to go through a many of mountains and valley before the convention. But he is going to go "through" to get "TO" and that "TO" is to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. So just relax and go for the ride! And as for HRC with the race baiting (i.e Blacks and Mexicans) in the South West and West Coast here is a scripture for her Galatians 6:7 (King James Version) "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" She sowed a BAD seed and will reap a HORRIFIC harvest! BLACKS ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED! SELAH Chris December 31, 2008 The Day when the American Nightmare will end!

The headline of this post is rediculous. Analize: "Stunner!" How can this be a stunner when Clinton was polling significantly ahead of Obama just weeks ago? But I'll grant you the use, however it has to go for Obama and voters who *stunningly* zapped away her lead. This with the furnishings of her Washington, New York and perhaps vacation homes being thrown about. "Clinton wins Texas" Clinton very narrowly won the ballot vote. Obama is on pace to significantly win the caucuses. It's some type of win, yes, but the season is short and there aren't enough games ahead to get into the post-season even with Michigan/Florida. That was a mess (the promise-breaker she), down there in FL whooping and hollering and what not!

"Analyze"

A long, nasty battle right up to the convention could seriously weaken Obama. If Hillary wins without a clear majority or thanks to a very negative campaign, don't expect an outpouring of grassroots support at the polls in November. It's a long way from 'Yes We Can" to "Yes She Will." Any way you slice it, if Hillary keeps heading down that road, a lot of people will be left behind.

Much agreed Rob! I was really hoping this thing would have been wrapped up by now. Hillary DOES need to chill out. It's time to unify the party and take back the White House in November.

In American politics today, pundits and media reward politicians and say how smart they are when the politician uses Bully tactics and an "Swiftboat" mentality when they tear their opponents down by smear, distortions and lies --"swift boating". The news media and pundits like to Praise the unscrupulous Politician up instead of disavowing them. The pundits like to say how Brilliant they are; What a Victory they say; what a Comeback Kid; and justify their use of Negative Ads and reward the worst in us -- this low and base behavior which should be outgrown as a humanitarian society. How many good and decent men have gone down because they were unfairly swiftboated by their opponents, mischaracaterized by those who have no morals or ethics. Something is wrong with that picture. There is nothing brilliant about lies, distortions, peddling fear, swiftboating, and an assassination of one's character, it's not a physical killing but a killing just the same, an emotional theft and mental crime. It's slander and distortion of the worse kind and should not be rewarded or esteemed as characteristics we need to emulate within our society. Do we emulate the school yard bully? Or the thief who steals one's life's earnings? It's Dirty Politics and should be called what it is, a crime. If America is to ever become better than what she is, than we must disavow this kind of tactics because it has no place in Democracy's arms, no place in a sane and peaceful society. Running a country is serious business and it is not a game, it is not acting. It's the governing of people and their lives and should be taken as a solemn oath and duty. Dirty politics should not be looked up to as a virtue and politicians should not be allowed to swiftboat their opponent, for the sake of gain by any means at any cost. There is a Right way to Fight and a Wrong way to Fight. Victory based on lies and cheating should not be condoned. There should be campaign laws about this kind of unscrupulous politicking. It should not be rewarded with the highest office in the land. It should be called what it is a Crime. America is only as good as her politicians and leaders.

@ Jaye, Calm my "angry ass down" huh? Man, you haven't seen me angry and trust me, you don't want to... on an intellectual level or on any other level. Real talk. You ask, what HELL I am talking about? Let me direct your retarded ass to your own damn post... maybe you should confer with your ghostwriter, since you probably can't read... "By Jaye on March 5, 2008 3:43 PM- I can't believe that some of you are actually saying that you would "sit this one out" this November, if your candidate does not get the nomination. Not participating in the voting process is like SPITTING on the graves of every African American that ever sacrificed their lives for YOUR right to vote in this country!" Are those not your words? I asked you to explain WHERE YOU read that we were "sitting this one out" in this post, which you still haven't done by the way... Its funny the level of paradox in your would-be post. "You could vote for "Homie the clown" for all I care."... really… and you say you support him? Homie the clown? Let me guess, you have plenty of black friends right? Yea, keep telling yourself that. For you to simplify our support of Obama to his skin color shows me the span of your IQ... about the same as a flea! Let's be clear, Bruh, you don't know a damn thing about me, so don't tell me who the hell I will turn on like "white on rice". While I respect everyone’s opinion, I am certainly entitled to mine. If you post a stupidity, expect to be called on it.

@ bacaangel, I'm in total agreement with you. Thank you for your post. @ Jaye: I know of many folks that will not make a choice for the President if Clinton is the nominee. Count me as one. I will however vote for referendums and other issues affecting the State and geographical area in which I live. I'm sorry the Democratic Party must rise up and stun the Clinton machine. As for the delegates in Florida and Michigan, their governors must come up with an equitable way to resolve this situation of they are SOL. Howard Dean said as much. Be Peace and dare I say it: YES, WE CAN

@Jay Ooooh, I'm over here shakin in my boots! You got me scuurrd foreal! LOL!!!! Bitch, I could CARE LESS about your PUNK ASS getting angry! NEWS FLASH HO, you are NOT Michelle Obama, so stop coming on here defending him like woke up with his ass this morning! You silly, dilly ass QUEENS kill me. Jaye you are absolutely LAUGHABLE!! LOL!!! Bring the noise Cyber HO! I REALLY wanna see yo bitch ass get angry! As a matter of fact, I'll give you a count down...Ready?....1....2....uh oh...THREE!!!!!!

@ Wordzbyche I totally respect and understand where you are coming from. As a Hillary supporter, I'm aware that it would probably be more difficult to win back the White House with her as the nom. At this point in the game, Barack almost HAS TO get the nominatiion, in order for us to stand a chance. There are probably just as many people hating her as they do supporting her. Believe me, I get it. At this point, I just want us to make a choice, so we can salvage the pieces of an already broken party. If Barack gets it, I'll be just as happy. Thanks for you thoughts! You be at peace as well!

Miss Thing?! Girl?! Choke?! LOL!!!!! Jay you are too funny! I KNEW you would fall for the bait! Uh...sorry dude, NOT A QUEEN! However, I just KNEW you were. All your posts on these boards read the same way, and that's a bitchy GAY queen! You sound like one of those guys on that "In Living Color" skit, "Men on film." (You know, from a "male" point of view.) LOL!!! All you need is the song "It's raining men" playing in the background. LOL!! I knew all I had to do was throw a few terms your way, and you would fall for it! You silly little girl. Poor baby, you wanna be intellectually deep so bad. LOL!! If you noticed FOOL, I've only responded to you in this way. Everyone else here knows how to dissagree and keep it moving. Jay, I've TRULY had WONDERFUL time screwing around with that emty little head of yours today, but I must move on Boo Boo! I gotta get back out on that corner and makes my money. I'll tell your mama you said HI! LOL!!!!! Bye Bye Sista Gurl!! LOL!!!

@ Jaye... Oh Jaye... how wrong your are, as usual. You've responded to me this way because I asked a question that you still can't seem to answer. But don't worry, I don't want your to hurt yourself trying to answer it. Enjoy!

Now that we've seen true discourse that will result in brilliant policy ideas...how about reality, not contrived personality traits placed on the candidates. Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have split the vote. For all the Obama or Clinton supporters that say, "I'm going to black out in November" or "I will vote independent" - no one can truly win the nomination at this point. Even if Obama wins, he will have to bridge the credibility gap with the Clinton core voter groups. (Hispanics, white women, older men and women, blue collar, ect.) Also, Obama will need to start to appeal to the rural areas in larger swing states. In order for Obama to win the general election, he will need Clinton votes. If Clinton voters feel cheated and disenfranchised, they could also sit out the election. This result would be the party loosing - even if Obama were to be the nominee.
