FACT: CLINTON WINS THE STATES THAT MATTER IN GENERAL ELECTION.
DONATE: hillaryclinton.com
Obama lost West Virginia by more than 40 points, an enormous fall, voters who went against Obama — white, rural, older, low-income and without college degrees — don't just live in West Virginia. They live everywhere in the country, in places Obama needs to win in a general election. Lost in all the talk of the inevitability of Barack Obama's nomination is the fact that Hillary Clinton has a very compelling case of her own. The contorted Democratic primary significantly differs from an actual presidential election. Caucuses, which is proportionately favor young, vocal enthusiasts who are willing to stay up late in the night; superdelegates; unelected party officials who are free to ignore the
will of the people and proportional representation of delegates are all electoral processes that have no parallel in November.
If the Democratic primary were a winner-take-all contest based on electoral votes like the general election, Clinton would lead Obama 290-214. The fact that Obama has won the majority of states, most of which are small, or has a slight lead in the popular vote does not mitigate the fact that Clinton is by a large margin the more competitive candidate in a national election
It is a fact that no Democrat has won the White House since 1916 without winning West Virginia, Obama lost West Virginia by more than 40 points, an enormous fall, voters who went against Obama — white, rural, older, low-income and without college degrees — don't just live in West Virginia. They live everywhere in the country, in places Obama needs to win in a general election. In anticipation of the West Virginia primary, college students for Obama were hurling insults at farmers and truck drivers. Now we hear pained remarks from the Obama camp that many white men won't vote for any black. Oh really? No one was complaining during the early races in Iowa, Maryland, Virginia and Wisconsin, when most of the white male participants backed Obama. That was before the Rev. Jeremiah Wright ugliness became public. Obama's inability to persuade working-class white voters to back him points to serious problem for him in the presidential election. A large percentage of voters who backed Mrs Clinton said they would not vote for Obama in the presidential race if he becomes the nominee. Disrespecting the nearly 17 million who have supported Clinton is politically unwise, but turning them into "the enemy" is insane

The Clintons have destroyed America with their racists card and their ugly attacks on Senator Obama.
We thank Senator Brennan but he is wrong with regards to the Clintons. They have hurt the party and our country .........with her personal agenda , lies , bad judgement and divisive ways..
Her motto all along has been loud and clear :
" IF I cannot win, neither can you " and " If I am going down , you are coming with me "

TO THE TYPICAL SANE PERSON - YOU ARE NOT ONLY INSANE , YOU ARE IGNORANT
MICHELLE OBAMA IS VERY PROUD OF AMERICA - IF YOU HAVE GIVEN HER A CHANCE AND LISTEN TO WHAT HER EXPERIENCES IN THE USA HAVE BEEN , YOU WOULD NOT BE UTTERING SO MUCH NONSENSE ~
IF YOU LISTEN TO JOHN MCCAIN AT HIS FIRST INTERVIEW WITH SEAN HANNITY AT FOX NEWS , YOU WILL HEAR HIM SAY THAT HE DID NOT LOVE AMERICA UNTIL IT WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM ?????
DOES THIS MEAN HE IS NOT A PATRIOT ??
WHAT ABOUT HR CLINTON ATTACKING AMERICA IN OTHER ISSUES ????
DOES THIS MEAN SHE DOES NOT LOVE AMERICA .???
DO YOUR RESEARCH ....
BUT PLEASE KEEP ON BRINGING ON THIS TOPIC , THE MORE YOU DO SO , THE MORE CHANCE YOU GIVE US TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT - SO THANKS ,
MICHELLE OBAMA WILL BE A WONDERFUL FIRST LADY
IF YOU ARE GOING TO QUOTE SOMETHING FROM HIS BOOK , MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECT , DO NOT DISTORT HIS WORDS AND LEAVE THERE FOR PEOPLE TO BELIEVE YOU .... YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO BE TRUTHFUL
OR DO YOU THINK THE BOSNIA STORY WAS NOT A LIE ?

The Clintons' 2006 tax return shows that, through a blind trust, the couple acquired an interest of an undisclosed size in a private investment fund known as the Quellos Alpha Engine, based in the Cayman Islands. At the time, the fund was controlled by the Quellos Group of Seattle, one of the world's largest managers of mutual funds made up of hedge funds. Hollywood mogul Haim Saban is one of the biggest investors in Quellos and is also one of Hillary Clinton's most prolific fundraisers. A 2006 investigation into abusive tax shelters by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations reported that Quellos used offshore shell companies to engage in fake transactions that generated billions of dollars in capital losses on paper. One series of transactions, the report said, erased more than $2 billion in capital gains that would have been taxed, costing the U.S. Treasury hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

typical sane person does logical, reasonable, conservative right-wingers a disservice.
Wild and, some might say, overstatement of the obvious, regarding a single selected candidate, serves nothing but to categorize you as the opposition (= ignored).
What has your candidate done, not promised, not talking point cleverness,... DONE?
Vote for the candidate, that while flawed (as they all are), has actually accomplished something on behalf of this country.
See how a simple premise invites hollow response from supporters of the "vote as I say, not as I do" candidates.
