I am not sure why its not okay for us Hillary supporters to just admit we didnt win. Thats life, sometimes it just doesnt work out. Why are we mad at the other team for winning according to the rules? I mean in all due respect, the delegate math was always the game, according to all the original candidates, including Hillary and her campaign. Obama didnt cheat, he didnt steal any votes, he didnt commit fraud and to say he did is an outright lie. He had a much better organized campaign and he won because of it. Hillary had everything in her corner, she just had a horrible management team. Mark Penn should burn for this and hoepfully he will along with the bill he is trying to get from the Clintons. What a waste of money.
I understand the popular vote argument and all the other arguments. But lets be honest, it was always a delegate counter that was going to decide the nomination, all the players knew this. I say they should count florida as is, why shouldnt they? yes, Obamas numbers go up when he campaigns, but whatever, he lost there by a large margin and that should stand for the good of the general election. As for Michigan, thats been a sore on this community. The people saying to count it as is are just delusional. I am sorry to be the bearer of reality, but his name wasnt on the ballot and Hillary wouldnt be saying a word about the state if she was winning the nomination. Michigan should be a dead issue and the voters there should be angry at the decision makers.
Sometimes humility is a good thing, like today to admit that Barack Obama is the nominee. It is what it is and its time to get behind him or not, but he is the nominee. Its time to move on to the next fight.
These are the people who ruined this campaign. How can anyone question Hillary's credibility rating when these are the jerks she hired to represent her. These guys are the banana brothers. The entire country sees right through these guys and their absolutely ridiculous and now delusional statements.
Congratulations to Hillary for a great win tonight, but she should have fired these jokers long ago.
Wolfson tonight "there is going to be a flood of super delegates tomorrow!" Now, tomorrow when that doesnt happen another excuse will be made. Its beyond a joke and Hillary is so much better than these people. Why did she ever stay with them?
Some of the posters on here are really full of crap. If you think Barack cant close the deal, wait till Hillary faces that challenge. She is going to have a bunch of supporters like the ones from this board so full of themselves that its going to backfire. I have no idea why so many people from here are so clueless as to the true essence of this election. If you think Obama is being voted for by tens of millions of people because he "looks good", then your crazy and even worse, arrogant.
This whole campaign has just been one big wallow of arrogance. This makes no sense to me, I have always known Hillary as humble, yet strong, intelligent, yet recessed. The smartest kids in the class were usually quiet and thats how I know Hillary. Sometimes I read the diaries here and I wonder what you all do for work and how your attitude translates.
ARROGANCE LOSES ELECTIONS, FRIENDS and basically SUCKS in reality.
All I see is negative diaries from Obama people and Clinton people. One of the sides is going to lose and that is that. So we had all better get used to that fact we are going to be backing one of these candidates TOGETHER. Two supreme court justices, the Iraq War, Healthcare, etc.. No one here is voting McCain and if you do, your vote of spite will set all of our children back 50 years.
You have got a republican democrat war going on, between two democrats. You have this 50/50 split of each side thinking the other candidate is a piece of garbage. ENOUGH ALREADY.
The super delegates are going to decide this on May 7th if Obama wins both North Carolina and Indiana or they will decide between Clinton and Obama on June 4th if they split North Carolina and Indiana.
I blame this on both campaigns. They should not have allowed eachother to divide the bases like this. Dont anyone dare blame one side or the other, they have both done it and its been vial and beneath them BOTH.
Not sure whats going to happen to make everyone get back on board, but it had better happen soon or all of us will be left with nothing except the memories of a failed Bush Presidency and the on coming of another President who believes in bombing the world to achieve his goals.
Welcome to reality, we have got to do this together or its not going to happen at all. TOGETHER.
Yes, we won PA last night by a good margin, but we are still way behind in the math and outlook. This has been the biggest problem with this entire campaign, ARROGANCE. We need to be focused, with a solid plan and good message. All I see is people throwing mud in the face of Obama people. If they do that to us, fine, but lets not stoop to that level. Its a very large staircase we are climbing and the wood could break at any moment. If we lose both North Carolina and Indiana, this is over, no matter what anyone says. We must stay on message, we must be focused. The arrogance Mark Penn brought to this campaign must be shed. I said the same thing last night after Hillarys speech. Amazing points were made, but why shit on Baracks message, it makes no sense. If Hillary is to be the nominee, how will she mend the broken fences between the candidates.
Signed, your HUMBLE Hillary Supporter.
TWO SUPREME COURT JUSTICES. END OF DIARY.
I get that everyone here is upset, but the odds that women give up the right to choose over a spite vote for McCain is a joke. All the Clinton supporters will come around.
