Hill gives 'em hell

... and disenchants half the democratic base in the process. If for some reason Hill manages to get the nomination from her gutter position, does Bloomberg jump in?

Anyone know what the registration deadlines for independent candidates are for the various states?

If Hillary were to somehow win the nomination (and she won't) I would vote for Obama anyway. As would many people, I suspect. He could be not only the first African-American president, but the first president that wins as a write-in.

I think Obama is doing the right thing by staying above the fray. She is throwing all this BS at him and he is playing defense but it has been a matter of days and she is already bordering on cartoonish self parody. What will she look like 7 weeks from now?

I've thought the same and want to believe that is true. The bottom line is, she (with some complicity from the media) is bringing him down and away from his message. Do we interpret this as his ship is taking on water or just rough seas. I hope it is the later. He needs to prove otherwise, soon, and he needs to stay to form.

March 24 for Pennsylvania. But PA is a closed primary.

Democrats seeing a candidate trying to win always brings out the worst in them.

Just Give Up. Go home. Sit it out. Cry in your soup. Kick the cat. Grouse to your spouse.

Probably one of those "Why can't Al be more like Bradley" types in 2000, mumbling to themselves "but Al is almost like George and George is so much more fun" in the generals.

Just say, "Hillary made me do it. She's so mean. Waaah." We'll win without you. And if this is what Obama supporters are like in general, he'll have dried up and blown away by July or August anyway. When the going gets tough, the tough turn mushy. Must be the sun.

To quote Truman, "I just told the truth and they think it's hell".

If Hillary somehow captures the presidency, please get paste your distaste for it and vote for her.

She really would be a far better president than hundred years mccain.

I hope Obama weathers this storm and I think will look better after the Nafta thing disappears as an issue along with Powers. He just needs to stay on his stride cuz it's his to lose at this point.

I'm pulling and voting for him, but, I have no illusions about not voting for Hillary, not because of her campaign, but because I think Obama would be a better president.

We need to look past the campaign a little bit and keep our stride as impassioned citizens and keep our eye on the prize which is putting our preferred candidate in office, while settling for second best if that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Hillary can't do anything (I think) that would cause me to not vote for her in the general should she somehow get the miracle god obviously intended for Huckabee.

It's not about the election. It's about who will be president.
