Me too! It was a righteous moment. She dressed him down in the most classy, forceful and dignified way.

I'm not on your my.bo.ocm. Would be happy to meet you. How do I find you?

I'm afraid I didn't click the link thing in my post.

My apologies to those who have to cut and paste the HTML link :(

Over-zealousness on my part.

Begala was PISSED. He likes to pretend he's reasonable and sane, but he was positively foaming at the mouth tonight. It's over. He knows it. They know it. It's over.

Well that's very nice for Donna. But someone please keep her FAR FAR AWAY from the campaign decisions. The woman is an old school political loser.

So this is why Brazile was awesome?

Brazile: "Well, Lou, I have worked on a lot of Democratic campaigns, and I respect Paul. But, Paul, you're looking at the old coalition. A new Democratic coalition is younger. It is more urban, as well as suburban, and we don't have to just rely on white blue-collar voters and Hispanics."

It's talk like this that angers so many Hillary supporters.

Begala is a pig.

Nobody mentioned how her bias was showing -- as usual -- although she tried to cover it up when she was rightly accused by the journalist for "leaning" in the Obama direction without owning up to it.

so hrc supporters think it is ok to dismiss blacks and white obama supporters and obama supporters are saying the white rural vote and hispanic vote alone cannot solidify this election.

they are both wrong and right--we need all the voters to come aboard or we lose in november. if the staggering numbers in which AA are abandoning HRC doesn't give democrats cause to worry then AA's should consider changing party affiliation to Independent or force Republicans to cater to their needs. The dem party is obviously taking the AA's years of support for granted. I understand white rural workers who tend to jump on the Republican ship and Hispanics are the new thing and that is great-we need them all b/c together we all form the great US of A, but it is equally important to maintain the base and part of that base is composed of AA.

I don't have numbers to back this up, but to my knowledge, no Dem candidate has ever won in my young lifetime without overwhelming AA support. To simply dismiss Obama's supporters as AA and eggheads is incredulous to say the least. And these are the kind people who support HRC? No wonder her campaign was so polarizing!

A stark difference between Obama and HRC-he is more inclusive. He is making inroads with rural whites but it is difficult when he has HRC and Bill telling rural whites to be real afraid of Obama. It barely worked in Indiana, but it was a successful strategy in OH an PA. Now my question to HRC is how she is going to prove that she can win over the AA vote? I think Obama has been kissing up to white rural America quite a bit. No such kissing up from HRC for the AA vote. My take on it? She doesn't think it's necessary to get AA vote b/c Dems always had it. This is poor judgement because for the first time in a long time, I think any AA who is worth his/her grain in salt is taking a long hard look at this party that they have so willingly supported for so many years. Just the simple fact that the SUPERS allowed HRC to take this polarizing tone and to allow her to divide us into AA v/s white rual working class says alot about what Dems think about both white blue collar workers and AAs. In my humble opinion, the dems have manipulated AAs and rural whites in the most shameless fashion.

Shame on us all! One more reason to vote for Obama and pray that HRC doesn't get anywhere near that ticket. He needs to pick a white male who is somewhat conservative, preferably speak with a southern drawl and who is strong on foreign and economic policy. If he is smart, he would steer clear of picking a woman VP. Leave the window open for HRC to make another pitch as first woman prez in 2012-that is gracious enough considering her shameless showdown this past year!

Again shame on us all for continuing to support this notion that one group of voters supercede the other. From a foreigner's standpoint and I am brown, neither black nor white, I am starting to get really uncomfortable about our acceptance of this polarization. Today it is ok to cast aside the AA vote in our effort to smooch votes from rural whites and my fellow Hispanics. Tomorrow, my fellow Hispanics will be easily dismissed in favor of what? Asians? People who are left-handed? This is getting ridiculous and quite frankly, it is too dangerous a territory for any fine upstanding DEM citizen!

See, now I told my self I was done with expressing my displeasure with HRC! I wake up and find this crap! That was sooooo offensive what Paul said. This projection that Obama does not have a big tent is offensive and Republican esq. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WITH THE LETTER (D) BEHIND THEIR NAME!!!!.....I'm sure some will play dumb and act like this is ok, its just politics....God Damb these people. Paul is not a Democrat....again to introduce the notion that the white people that are voting for Obama are elite white people not any other kind, and to polarize this party should be offensive to EVERYONE!.....What are they doing....It is repulsive....and yes Donna did a great Job pushing back, but for this to come from a democrat this polarizing republican tactic to use the press to exploit a false notion.......Obama has everyone voting for him..with the exception of HRC supporters and republicans......I really do hate her....Im sorry she will destroy this party if knowone steps up and stops this nonsense!!!!

Sure, when the proper time comes, Donna will support Obama. But notice she has not tried to poison the water for Clinton.

On the other hand, Begala is playing Republican music, dancing to it in fact, trying to poison the water.

I believe that the deals are being cut and that although the Clintons may continue through the first June out of respect for her supporters, the money and energy for a mean-spirited, negative campaign is gone.

The Clintons would be well-served by working to strengthen the party now. If they don't, Hillary may face serious competition for her senate seat and the Clinton reputation will suffer greatly.

On a general note, and not to hurt anyone's feelings, I'd like to point out that TPM posters are not especially responsive to people of color. I'm guessing it's that White Liberal Thing. But good luck to you folks, speaking as a person of color myself, though Blue in my case.

Do you mean on the thread, or in general? How would I know what color people are in less they told me? Avatars tell me nothing--for example, I doubt you are really blue.

I saw it and it was entertaining. But Ms. Brazille refused to admit she is an Obaman and that disqualifies her from the sainted status everyone is giving her today.

Mr. Begala isn't my favorite guy but he is upfront about who he backs. She, on the other hand, was not.

Question: Why is that Clinton supporters are called "hateful" for defending their candidate while Obama supporters are considered patriotic?

Answer: Because the media says so.

Cypher,

You misunderstand totally. Begala was out of line. he deserved to get whacked for saying something very stupid. But Brazille has been an Obaman from day one and refuses, for some reason, to say so.

Officially neutral be damned. Nobody believes it for a second.

I would have more respect for her for saying she is standing up for the guy she believes in rather than pretending than to complain about something else.

And that is why people like me are ticked. People like Brazille and the many media folk who jumped on the Obama bandwagon lied when they said they were being impartial in their presentations. They were not.

You're going to win. Party up like there is no tomorrow.

And then come back and tell me why I should support you. I'm willing to listen.

Sean, Bronx, Chico, Katega, everyone...I'm heading to work. See you later.

Be good Cypher...!

Donna has not officially said she is for Obama but watch her daily on CNN as I do and she is anything but uncommitted. She already threatened that if the "smoky back room boys" take the nomination away from Obama she would quit the Democratic party. So please, don't tell me she is uncommitted. As for the African American and egghead comment, I beg to say that that is what the major media and especially CNN have been describing who votes for who for ages now. It is always described as blue collar, Hispanics, older people and then Obama gets African Americans, more wealthy, college educated, and the young crowd. Why she would get so offended is beyond me because she listens to it from CNN all the time.
