The Clintons Campaigning as if they Haven't Won a State Yet
By the way the Clinton campaign is acting (irrational and divisive)...you would think they're down by 3 and Obama won New Hampshire and Nevada. Their over-aggressive tactics are not only alarming considering how well they've been doing recently, but wholefully uneccessary and downright disgraceful. I can't see how anybody thinks the Clintons (since they both appear to be running) are the Dems best bet in the General Election. Hillary Clinton has PROVEN beyond a shadow of doubt what many people have complained about her for YEARS now...and that's how divisive she is. The last thing we need in 2008 is a candidate who will turn off more voters than she turns on. She's not doing herself any favors with Dems like me (a growing number) that will sit 2008 out because of this petty bullshit. But hey, if the Dems want to risk 2008 by nominating her...we're burying our own grave. It'll be interesting to see what kind of backlash will come from within the Party when the Dems lose 3 straight Presidential elections.

2. exactly!
we need a candidate who pushes the wrong buttons when he votes, uses his favorite phrase "that's not what I meant to say" constantly and conveniently forgets writing letters in support of a man's quest to get a multi-million dollar tax-payer funded building project but is now under Federal Indictment by DU hero Patrick Fitzgerald for extortion and money laundering!

:woohoo:

5. Quit with the republican talking points!!
How the fuck do you know that mr. perfect Obama will unite the country!?!?!? Half of America will never vote for his ass just because of his political views. Do you really think that republicans will vote for him?? Get fucking real! If and I mean if he wins the Dem. nomination, he will be torn apart by Rush Limbaugh and the republican slime machine! Hell they already know how soft he is, seeing how the Clintons have made him and his supporters whine day in and day out. Get a spine Obama and his followers!! Hey I think maybe someday Obama will be ready for the big stage, but he is showing its not now.
