Mr. Obama, due to your recent statements on elect ability, It is CLEAR you will never get my vote.

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/02/01/politics/fromth...

“In terms of electability, I believe that I am attracting new voters and independent voters in a way that Senator Clinton has not been able to do,” Obama said.

“If Senator McCain is the nominee, we can’t start off with the same playing field and expect to win.”

He cited the Nevada caucus as an example of the fact that he can reach a greater variety of voters than Clinton and said that her supporters are more likely to side with him, if he is the nominee.

“I am confident that I will get her votes if I am the nominee, it’s not clear that she would get the votes I got if she were the nominee,” Obama said.






If this is how he wants to play it, So be it, HE JUST MADE SURE ONE DEMOCRATIC VOTER WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM.

NEVER!

Enjoy voting for McCain.

It might be Romney. McCain got caught using STRAIGHT LIES instead of STRAIGHT talk.

Pity too, I was enjoyng Romneys decline, He is the WORST candidate of all except Ron Paul of course!

Considering your postings, I doubt he had a chance with you in the first place.

His campaign is just a big lie.
These statements like this seriously make me doubt his unity claims.
If he were for unity and he lost...He would be doing his best to deliver his supporters to the winner.

I will never pull a lever for this liar.

But that's all you get.

we'll just have to disagree on this one.

Maybe you can get an invite to the repub's inaugural ball if it makes you that happy to see a Democrat lose.

:shrug:

What can you do. I'm not sure the people on their side think they're helping.

His supporters say it too.
How could I ever support them, knowing how they would react?

Seriously. He should be a loyal democrat and offer his support if he lost. Instead he barks out veiled threats.
I will never vote for him.

We're quite attached to our candidates.

And aren't you saying the same yourself. You are vowing to shun Obama. How does that make you better?

He is clearly not going to get my vote.

Hillary has to respond to this now and I hope she fires back hard on his devisive and potentially damaging to the party statements.

Obama is not a very good Democrat, he is obviously willing to hurt the Party for his own gain.

and that's likely to be accurate.

How petty.

I will support our nominee.

I will never vote for the guy. He is not about unity, he is about himself. His campaign is based on a lie. I am sick of his threats.

lose for making that statement.

“I am confident that I will get her votes if I am the nominee, it’s not clear that she would get the votes I got if she were the nominee,” Obama said.

Actually it is very clear that she would not get the new voters that have registered just to vote for Obama

With Obama as our candidate it will be a landslide in voter turn out and in his winning across the country

Obama is politicking on fear and smear here.

He is not ever going to see my vote. EVER!

“I am confident that I will get her votes if I am the nominee, it’s not clear that she would get the votes I got if she were the nominee”. I sure hope it never makes it into one of his campaign ads.

He will get my vote for sure as our nominee, but there are some people who are angry at him just like there are some people angry at Hillary. There are some folks who won't vote for someone who's top resume credential is two years in the U.S. Senate. There are some people who are so thrilled to have a chance that a woman will be elected President that they will cast a ballot for Hillary that they might not cast for Obama. And there is the stray racist, just like there is the stray sexist.

It can be argued either way who will retain the most voters drawn into this election. I don't mind Obama making a case that he thinks he can hold onto the lion's share, but the comment that he did make is needlessly presumptious at the very minimum.

and i think part of the reason his voters feel this way..is the lies started by his campaign...the lies allowed to travel..until of course he decided to put them to rest...but the damage had been done. he planted the seed and it grew...so now "his' voters believe all this crap...and will remain angry and vindictive enough to allow the rw to hold on to the white house...because a majority of them do not realize/understand the politics and how truly important it is for the dem's as a party to take back America...

:eyes:

Chill out, you cannot refute my point so you attack my form.

Hilarious!

Some make it easy to copy names exactly due to bad design software.

Dr. Seuss?

:spray:

It was before I was here, I went with Hillary because I like her attention to detail and her ability to tie issues together in a broad veiw, She is a harder worker and I believe she is smarter about getting things done.

I also considered Edwards, but realized early he would not stand a chance.

Fact is Hillary has my support, after reading Obama's fans in here and reading his statement above that confirms his followers contentions.....Obama has essentially made himself one Anti-Obama person.

His message is clear, it is a threat to my candidate and I reject him and his threat.

Campaign of hope laced with threats lies and attacks? How is he any different.
No way will I vote for him.

that this recent event made you not support him; you clearly supported Hillary and disliked Obama beforehand, and this changed nothing.

His campaigns dirty tactics are repulsive.

He lost any chance of a loyal to party vote in the last two days.

The Obama people love playing those cards!

Is every Anti-Hillary voter a sexist too? Are they Republicans or Natsis?

NATSIS?????

:rofl:

That is a keeper!

So I just went a bit off to get it through. I don't know if they censor words here or not.

:rofl:

"Natsis."

:rofl:

Something tells me you're too young to actually vote, so there's that, too.

:shrug:

Can you do that here?

even though you acknowledged that you read the rules when you signed on to this board (or else you would not have been able to sign on to this board) I'm going to help you out by providing you the link to them now... http://www.democraticunderground.com/forums/rules.html

You'll have to ask the admins if you can change your name. Good luck with that. :hi:

:blush:

And I am wrong

:toast:

Pretty sad the way the Obama people are quick to falsely label people. I think it speaks to their character.
I also think his statement above speaks to his.

Threats of my people will not support her actually helps tell his voters not too.
It is dirty politis at its finest.

One of her supporters tells me I belong on the Free Republic. Nice try to spin it back around though, really.

... make it, better to dance than to sit and watch to use prom analogy.

He is looking to be another false uniter!

Posture natsi :eyes:

how is that better?

He is clearly wrong here and it is the final straw.
After last night I was reconsidering, but his "nice guy debate face" hides his true person

We do not need another "change Washington" ...fake nice guy in the White House...8 years was enough.

for candidates to, you know, want their supporters to help their campaign. Like you said--you already have "your candidate;" he's not talking to you, because you ain't voting for him anyway.

and he's predicting how many of them are going to react.

What a shallow fucking reason not to vote for a candidate. Out of idiotic spite?? You should be ashamed.

Savor that irony Obama supporters.

:hi: greetings fellow DU'er.

and will not endear him with Hillary supporters.

I will never vote for him.

I may in fact vote against him.

but I aint stupid. I'll vote for the Dem nominee.

Enjoy! :)

I don't give a shit.

Every potential candidate will have tens of millions of votes against them.

What am I supposed to do? Curl up in a ball and cry? Fuck that!



IF "IF" WERE A SKIFF, WE'D ALL GO FOR A BOAT RIDE.





edit:punc

That's quite an arrogant thing to say.

I don't want four more years of Republicans.

I think that is evident through out the country and either candidate will win.

I am just incredibly angry that once again Obama or his supporters have sent out a message that hurts the party for his gain.
It is not clean politics and completely contradicts his campaigns theme.
I have always been an avid supporter of Clintons vs the slander and attacks they got from the right and am extremely angry that they now seem to be coming from the left. Obama's people should know better.

Hillary in 08

SO DRAMATIC!!!!1!

And its a good argument.

Least thats what I heard.

Least thats what I heard.

And thats his point. He attracts Independents, in a way Clinton doesn't. He can compete with McCain with those voters on top of the Dem vote. And thats a good argument. Bottom line, Independents aren't attracted to Hillary.
