As was Obama's "momentum surge" supposed to crush Hillary. He outraised and outspent her 3 to 1 and still couldn't beat her.

Its that political "Empire" that people are objecting to and voting against.

Interesting spin. Doesn't work, though. Hillary Clinton was supposed to be the inevitable nominee. Two years ago, most Americans have not even heard of Obama. Three months ago, Hillary was leading in all the opinion polls. All the cards were stacked in her favor. Famous name, popular ex-president husband, sitting senator of vote-rich New York. It's simply amazing how her vaunted Clinton machine has collapsed in the face of Obama's challenge. Give it a few more weeks, and Hillary will be finished.

Please. Your political naivety shows through more clearly with each passing day. Clinton will trounce Obama in Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

It's all about the delegates, Baby. :-)

Keep dreaming. These states are no longer a sure thing for Hillary. Reason: with McCain emerging as the clear GOP nominee, the Democrats in these 3 states will come to realize that they need a candidate with cross-over appeal among independents to neutralize McCain's appeal among them. That candidate is not Hillary Clinton.

Blah, blah, blah. Hillary is endorsed by the entire state of Pennsylvania, from the Governer right down to the mayors. As a matter of fact, the Allegheny County Democrats endorsed her by a 2 to 1 margin last night.
Allegheny County Democrats back Clinton - Tribune-Review

Ohio is a working class state, and she will win there because that is where the base of her support is, unlike Obama, with his elitist support. Texas has a huge latino majority, and the BEST he has done in that community is 1/3 of the vote.

If you knew anything about Pittsburgh and Allegheny County's finances, you'll understand that they both are in huge debt. Their endorsing of Hillary is of no surprise, they've both been run by the democrats for decades.

We'll just have to wait and see, won't we? The day of reckoning is almost here. I get the sense from your posts that you are trying to convince yourself that Hillary is going to win. There's a hint of desperation in your tone. I can't blame you, really, given the dismal performance of Hillary "The Inevitable" Clinton.

Cool Clintons Campaign

Why can people not simply vote and stop worrying about who spends what on where? The problem with this country in my opinion is not unlike what Bush did the people were pushed aside becuause he paid for his position he was never elected by popular vote if so he would not have such horrible reputation as he does now.

Americans should stop and smell the coffee. Not what is in it for me, but what will the candidate do to clean up the mess the republican party has so readily made over the past 8 years?

Why not choose a woman, after all behind every successful man stands one good woman who supports, takes care of override and gives the men confidence to build on their dreams. If women can run companies, homes, schools and health care entities then they are quite capable of running countries. At least she is not continually attacking others and actually put more than 5 million dollars of her own money into the campaign can this be said about the others?
