Politics – Sen. Barack Obama was endorsed Wednesday by a labor union and two Democratic superdelegates, as a poll showed he has cut Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's lead in Pennsylvania almost in half since mid-February as he strives to deny her a resounding victory in the state's presidential primary.
I just wish it was over. It's poor sportsmanship for Hilary to drag this out.
It's thanks to the people who wear White Sheets in Chicago and the South that Hillary is still around. ;)
Yeah, i think some of them make some rather questionable comments on here as well.
Indeedy-Do!

I say: You two are engaging in the very banter you condemn. Calling those opposed to Obama members of the KKK and painting the South as a bunch of racists sure does smack of extreme prejudice and bigotry.
Are those opposed to Hillary Misogynists? Your bent line of sad reasoning suggests as much.
Get a grip on reality and stop whining: Obama has not secured the Democrat nomination. Perhaps he will. Perhaps it will come down to the super delegates at the national convention.
A few short months ago no one gave McCain a chance in Hell of winning the Republican nomination. Yet, here he is, waiting for the Dem contest to be decided.
I don't think OnionHead and not2needy were saying that all Obama opponents are KKK members. OnionHead said that such racist were leading the charge against Obama. That's clearly true. N2N said that "some" of them comment on here. Again true.
That said, I grew up in the old, apartheid South. It has changed a lot, and in many areas now, the South is more comfortable with racial diversity than some of the Northern areas who sent freedom riders to the South during the desegregation fight. I can tell you for an absolute fact that racism is still a powerful force here in Massachusetts. But even so, Deval Patric managed to win the Governor's Race in a landslide.

LOL...You just can't write this stuff. Grist for the mill.
"I just wish it was over. It's poor sportsmanship for Hilary to drag this out."
I'm certain had Obama secured the delegates necessary to win the nomination, Hillary would have bowed out. But, simple fact is, he hasn't.
No one complained about Huckabee sticking around to challenge McCain when he hadn't a chance in Hell of winning the nomination and the last real rival, Romney, bowed out.
Perhaps in the future, Democrats will change their stupid caucus/primary system. Face it: It all comes down to the "super delegates."
"No one complained about Huckabee sticking around to challenge McCain when he hadn't a chance in Hell of winning the nomination and the last real rival, Romney, bowed out."
I believe that's because all the Republicans were voting for Hillary. You've only your Party to blame.
Complete crap! Obamossama won most of the open primaries because all the repubs voted for him. Come the general election, they will vote for JMC. And why do you think that he is so reluctant to have the primaries in Michigan and Florida redone? His answer to that question was that the repubs won't then be voting! What a shameful A-H.! His bid for the WH will fail!!!
MORIBUL:
"His bid for the WH will fail!!!"

"Sen. Barack Obama raised more than $40 million from more than 442,000 donors in March, his presidential campaign announced Thursday. More than 218,000 of the donors were giving for the first time, the campaign said in a written statement."
Apparently there are 218,000 new donors for Obama who disagree with your statement. How much has McCain raised and will McCain lie to get around the campaign finance laws he himself sponsored?
LOL
How dare you use CNN (I meant ONN) as a reference here!? These dudes lack objectivity!
Money only will not win the WH to anybody. Obamossama first needs to win the democrats' nomination. He is not close to doing so, as Hilary will fight to the end. If the super-delegates choose him, he will need to convince >45% of Hillary's supporters (such as me) why they shouldn't vote for JMC, after all the insults Obamossama's supporters threw at this lady. One thing is clear to me at this point: the WH will stay republican whether Hillary or Obamossama wins the dems nomination. The US House and Senate will probably also switch back to the repubs.
MORIBUL:
"How dare you use CNN (I meant ONN) as a reference here!? These dudes lack objectivity!"
How obtuse can you possibly be? These numbers are made publicly available by the FEC. The "dudes" at CNN simply published the campaign finance totals made available by the FEC. How much more objectivity are you looking for? LOL

Apparently, facts are not your forte. No wonder you have no evidence to cite.

"Reynolds' (R-NY) decision not to seek reelection was another blow to Republican chances against Democrats, who appear likely to widen their majority with more than two dozen GOP seats coming open this year."
The obtuse person here is you, because you make the least effort to use your brain. You simply candidly read this article from the Seattle Times, another non-objective news paper that you quote as you reference.
If the dems presidential primaries weren't this vitriolic, I would agree with you that the dems would chip away some of the GOP seats in the US Congress. Now I seriously doubt that this will happen, the repubs will pick some dems seats.
MORIBUL:
"The obtuse person here is you, because you make the least effort to use your brain."
These are strong words for someone who has provided ZERO evidence to support his unsubstantiated arguments. You criticize my sources while providing too lazy or inept to provide ANY of your own. LOL.
MORIBUL:
"You simply candidly read this article from the Seattle Times, another non-objective news paper that you quote as you reference"
More proof of your imbecility: The Seattle Times did NOT write the article I cited; they were simply re-posting it. The article I cited above was written by the Associated Press.
You are either illiterate or too lazy to read the article. LOL.
Pathetic.
AP or The Seattle Times, it doesn't matter! You must always do critical readings! Use your brain, even if there are only few functioning neurons left inside!!!
Morebull! Take two aspirins and call your psychiatrist in the morning!!
Cushi,
There is plenty of water in the US along with tons of products that real women use to better their corporal hygiene. I suggest that you get some of those. In a further note, improve your diet, get your fat a$$ off that seat in front of your computer and exercise, this will avoid you having recurrent yeast infections.
"...he will need to convince >45% of Hillary's supporters (such as me) why they shouldn't vote for JMC..."
Aside from the economy and the war, the straightforward answer is this: The U.S. Supreme Court. We got a couple of justices who are just barely hanging on. Do you REALLY want John McCain to choose their replacements?
If she doesn't win big in PA it will be over. Well maybe knowing her she will come up with another reason why she should still be in the race. I have to tell you this race has changed my feelings about the Clinton's if she wins i will vote for her because i think it's silly to spite myself and my country by letting another GOPer win! But my love fest with the Clinton's are over. They are what others say they are!
Too much is made of the damage Hillary does by staying in the race. She is heloping to vett (what does that mean, anyway) Obama, so that by the time it's general election time, his negatives have been dealt with and are old news (sort of like the continued jabs of the anioklys on these boards).
I only hope, by the time September roles around, that Hillary and the Republican's competition to out do the Obama did this and Obama said that bulltwinkies will have served to blow the collective wad of abuse thus leaving McCain the sputtering old nincumpoop that he is, with nothing to say other than schoolyard epithets, alone, wondering why only the losers are hanging out with him.

FTA:
The Illinois senator peeled off an affiliate of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which has endorsed Clinton. The Philadelphia-based local of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees has about 16,000 members.
Its president, Henry Nicholas, announced the endorsement while introducing Obama at a meeting of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO.
All the people who thought Pa was a sure thing for Hillary may be wrong after all.
Hillary is like a butchered chicken; you can chop her head off, but she keeps on running.
Almost fell out of my chair laughing!!
I got a visual on that one SC! ROFL!
Oh god, no love lost to that woman, but Geeexuess, the poor thing, if the image in my head were on a screen, momma's wouldn't be letting their babies watch it and the demonic laughter sound track would give the most callous pause.
MUUU AWWW HA HA
