By fighter, I mean that any person who is considered black in this country, must fight like hell because he/she is given less consideration at every turn. Such is the case with Obama. It takes a helluva lot of fight, spirit, drive, discipline, and versatility for him to be in this position. Far more than Hillary has ever displayed. Obama's race is used by Hillary and the media against him, but his race makes his abilities and climb even more impressive.

I find it ironic that Hillary is considered a "fighter" because she has been allowed to stay in the race long after she has lost momentum simply because she wins states that she has been expected to win. Obama wins a state and the media diminishes its importance. Hillary wins a state, and suddenly it means that she's the "comeback kid" or that she's a "fighter." Ridiculous. She won PA as expected, only prolonging her inevitable defeat and wasting more precious time NOT addressing McCain and the Regressives.

Detroit City Councilwoman was also against the war from the beginning. So, we should elect her as President, right? (See Conyers thread)

How sad for you that you think everything is about racism. Terribly sad.

I don't feel anything close to saying, "You go girl." My morning thoughts are that she is going to nag the super delegates to death in order to try to get themt o change their minds.

Again, that's the fighter in her. Obama certainly has none of that in him. He's lazy and relies on his powerful war chest of $$$.

It is easy to win states that you are EXPECTED to win. Get real.

Overwhelmingly self-serving is what I would call her "spirit."

Barack is the true fighter in this contest.


you always crack me up with your logic
Obama was there with his HUGE BUCKS and he thought it might be a 3-5 point loss for him
NO it was 10 POINTS
get real and see where "creating your own reality" gets you?!
Obama is a chicken s*** and won't face he in a debate because he is scared of questions
he has got to come up with a spinn as to why he can not win the big states
with all his money! He can not buy thins thing
face it he is a loser!

It's not racism when black people vote for a black candidate. It IS racism when white people don't. That's the rule.

She WON. I don't like her because she is too far left for me....but she WON. Fair and square. Blame it on racism. Play the race card at every opportunity when things aren't going your way.

Do you realize how tired the average American is getting hearing about race from the whiners that back Obama...the man that was going to "unite" everyone and make race a "non-issue". What a joke that guy is turning out to be. Oooops. Guess I said that because I'm a racist.
You know what I am white and after going back and reading a lot of these post I have to say that I am blown away by just how much racism is still a factor in America. Some of you are down right rude and don't really care what you say. I thought America over the years were growing and moving pass this but I was wrong. This forum just shows how alive and well it really is. I am ashamed.

Hillary was NOT expected to win in Cailf or Mass because Oprah and the Kennedy's and John Kerry was behind Obama
if you can not see that Hillary is the underdog and has no money but still wins, take of your blinders
Obama is a racist and a jerk on top of it
no one deserves to be president just because they are black or just because they are a woman
of the two Hillary will make the best president
Hillary is a fighter and Obama is a whimp!
