“Hillary won the Michigan primary Jan. 15 and the Florida vote two weeks later after all the candidates agreed not to campaign in either state. At the time, she said the vote did not matter. But once she fell behind Obama in the delegate competition, her position shifted.”
- By an Associated Press Writer
This could be a major reason why Gender is being dragged into this race. Many people believe if Hillary had been a man, she wouldn’t have prolonged this primary fight that much.. This is especially if it was obvious she was going to loose anyway!!
You are only half correct. Obama was on the ballot in Fla, it was Mi where his name did not appear.
BTW, to compare a party held primary with a federal election is just plain ridiculous.
True, but rules are rules. The Democrats effectively told America today that they don't intend to abide by their own rules and will most likely change their minds again in the future. Instead of doing what was right, they caved. A spine would be a nice Christmas gift for Howard Dean.
This woman was outgunned, outsmarted from the start. She thought she was entitled and didn't care about the voters in MI and FL. She didn't even care about blue-collar voters, which is why she didn't cater to them until it was evident that they were the only people supporting the non-black candidate. She is quite pathetic. I am frankly sick of the gutter level that she represents and today, it was again evident that this is Obama's time. She needs to stand aside or be kicked out. She will NOT be VP.
Those of you opposing Obama need to wake up, address your flawed judgment. Barack Obama is the greatest candidate for this office to come along in recent memory. This is Obama's year. Recognize that!
This has been a good day for this Obama supporter.
I am not for Hillary, and would not vote for her--however, I do think she has gotten a raw deal from the Media--so I feel a little sorry for her. I don't want her to win, but neither do I want Obama to win--or McCain. Please, Dear God.send us a miracle--a 3rd Candidate that cares. Wishful thinking.
It is sort of ironic, Hillary getting the same treatment from the media, that she so much relied on over the years to help her, that republicans usually get. Perhaps she will switch sides?
Yes. However I support Hill&Bill in their efforts to rip apart the dem party and batter and bruise Obama.
Wow, you are twisted. Sounds like major sour grapes for you to swallow to make such an outrageous comment. Well, there is more sour grapes coming when the Super Delegates come out to support Obama and put him at the number he needs. Hold on to your seat because it's gonna get real juicy as Obama wraps this nomination up in a couple of days with the help of his Super Delegates he has banked for several weeks now! Go Obama go!

Hillary has NOT gotten a raw deal, are you kidding? The media was all on her side when it appeared she was the frontrunner. Every win was embellished when she wasn't. She was given the utmost of consideration, promoted as the candidate with a chance when she had none.
A 3rd candidate? There isn't a candidate alive who is better than Obama. This is HIS year. He's our next President.
