I do not agree. Hillary and the Clintons in general have a lot of baggage. It has been said several times by all who have reported it that Mc Cain wants to go against Hillary not Obama. What I think is terrible is the time and money wasted on this primary going and farther. The only way that I heard could even be a possiblity for Hillary to win is the super delagates. If she gets the nomination that way then you can give McCain the nonination. I guess I feel that the Clintons will not leave on their own. THey will go kicking and sceaming and do what ever to get this nonination. In the exit poll people don;t trust her. I don't believe she supports what is best for her party , but what is best for her. I heard last night the only thing that should be said. Who ever has the lead even by one vote get the nonination- period. Super delagates are silly anyway. Again why is she still taking about Florida and Michigan?

At least if Hillary were to get the nom, they can't do anything more to her that already hasn't been done. Obama is a greenhorn who hasn't seen the worst of the worst. Poor guy, won't know what hit him.

I think the Republicans are not going to be nasty this time around. McCain is an honerable man and has already asked for a stop to some ads in North Carolina his party supporters put out. Clinton is the only candidacy that has been really nasty.
I think an Obama - McCain election will be relatively clean.

She's talking about Florida and Michigan for 2 reasons ... one, it helps her side and two, SHE BELIEVES IN DEMOCRACY! Why wasn't Obama on the ballot in Michigan? I seriously don't remember why. In any event, Obama will get thumped by McCain. Obama's baggage is piling up on him daily. Did you hear the latest Rezko news? You remember Obama's buddy right? He and none other than Karl Rove plotted to get Patrick Fitzgerald ousted because of his going after Scooter Libby. Now, does that have anything to do with O? No .. but considering that his associations have hurt him recently ... if Hillary's camp doesn't pounce, the GOP machine sure will ...
I'm going to keep this thread open until the primary if that's ok. I just want to keep this as much to Indiana as possible and allow some tangents here and there. Let's try to be as civil as possible. I know, I'm talking to myself too

If I am not mistaken, it had something to do with Michigan changing the dates of its primary without permission frim the Democratic Party, that is why Michigan was stripped of its delegates and many candidates did not bother with Michigan.

I'm from Michigan and yes they all and at that time included Edwards agreed to not campain there and that is why Obama and Edwards were not on the ballot. It was because Michigan with the leader ship of our fine Governor decided to move up the primary like Florida did.
How can Hillary run the country when she can;t even add up her numbers to Obama;s and subtract the difference. The news is saying today she must have a new way to add. I want Obama but to be fair I do respect what McCain is saying about the negitive adds in North Carolina.

Look at What McCain said about the Hurricane Katrina response today. He's not giving lip service he speaks his mind.

LMAO! Well, you can add me to the roster...that gives us a Baker's Dozen.
I personally hope Clinton wins, baggage and all. There is just something incredibly "off" about the Obamas and their attitudes:

My vote is for Obama....and yes countless polls have expressed
Mccain vs Obama= Obama as the winner
Mccain vs Clinton= Mccain as the winner
So at this point the republicans are hoping for Clinton...
