Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Wednesday to continue her quest for the Democratic nomination, arguing she would be the stronger nominee because she appeals to a wider coalition of voters -- including whites who have not supported Barack Obama in recent contests.

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

Look folks, when this stops then the party will heal. I really don't know any other way to put it. She is just fanning the flames for McCain with this stuff, she really is.

She is an ass.

I withdraw my former post that said something about how she'd make a good Secretary of State or Supreme Court Justice.

Someone needs to reel her in now.

it wouldn't surprise me one bit if she ends up endorsing McCain.

1. They share values.

2. She's hoping for another run at the presidency in 2012, cuz we all know McCain ain't gonna make 8 years...

Hell, for all we know they're in negotiations right now...she might end up his running mate.

So by your posting "we all know McCain ain't gonna make 8 years..." are you suggesting McCain will win a 4 year term in November?....Thus, you are suggesting you well believe Obama can not beat him.
Why would you write that unless you thought so?

why are you supporting someone you expect to lose? Isn't that right wing court a big concern?

A look at Kos right now explains this statement as inaccurate, its based upon a poll not actual results. Its amazing really...

I'm talking about her motives...

Nice try though.

by claiming that the 2025 delegate goal is phoney and illegitimate is going to undermine the eventual nominee as well, because once Obama crosses that number on May 20th, and he will, he will start saying he is the nominee.

Right now, Hillary surrogates will claim that any claim based on that figure is illegitmate.

That is really dangerous.

I don't think you are correct about her true motives here,cat.

I think what she is doing is trying to come to terms with the eventual ..she is just playing out her hand..which will mean a win for her in WVa. and PR and Kentucky.

These wins will always be a part of her record. And they are good credentials for her future, in any regard.

She has pledged already to work her heart out for Obama when she has to concede.

Terry McCauliffe also said that this morning as well. She will support and back the nominee and help unite the party.

Doubter:

Nah. Once the supers come out and pick Obama officially and that is already been said to be a complete done deal that they will. She has to concede.

game's over.

That is, I guess unless she takes it to the Convention.

But just this morning she said and Terry McCauliffe ,her campaign manager,also said said that this will be over by June.

Conventions' not until August so I don't see her challenging the DNC on the delegates and the rest of it.

us alink to McAuliffe saying that this morning? Thanks, I'm not able to look it up right now, where I am. Appreciate it, "L."

The Democrats have been playing the race card for decades now. Finally it has come back to bite the racist Democrats in their black and white asses.

Delightful.

"If Obama were white, he'd never be where he is." - Geraldine Ferraro, saying what is so obviously true, but guilt-ridden Democrats had to punish her anyway

Then there's the racist hate-monger, Jeremiah Wright, "mentor" of racist Barack Hussein Obama and racist Michele Obama, who "has never been proud of America."

Democrats SHOULD be ashamed of their denial of educational vouchers to black Americans, but Democrats aren't. They're kissing the asses of teacher's unions for political purposes.

Democrats SHOULD be ashamed of branding black Americans as helpless, hopeless, and victims of slavery, when not one black in America was ever shackled in chains here unless it was in jail.

Only one party has a former Ku Klux Klansman in the U.S. Congress, and that is the Democrat Party, with Senator Robert Byrd, a racist hate-monger the Democrats call "the conscience of the senate."

Yeah, right. Oh wait. Byrd apologized, and so that excuses that. How many times do Democrats accept a Republican apology? Never.

<link>

sure thing. right here,friend.

On that regard CD, I heard the elitist liberal journalist and Obama supporter, Jeffrey Toobin say on CNN that if Obama doesn't get it the AA Community will riot.

I found that to be a racist statement on the part of the elite liberal writer crowd.

I do not believe they would riot.

I give blacks more credit than that.

They know this is a contest, a race and whoever wins, wins.

I think Toobin though an Obama fan ,does the black community a disservice when he suggests they would have no control over their emotions and go on a rampage if Obama didn't win.

If that's what he really thinks blacks are like..he is being very insulting of him to suggest that they would riot.

just announced:"I'm sticking with Hillary, absolutely!"

She came out today with statemenet because yesterday the media was spinning her cautious remarks, of yesterday, (where she was just trying to asess the situation), as an endorsement for Obama.Even though she had been quite oblique in her remarks.

Just thought that would at least warm your heart a bit.

Feinstein was always very well respected by independant,but slightly to the right of center long time excellent fray poster, marylb, as well.

Though I know marylb has chosen Obama this year..as is her every right to do, the Feinstein endoirsement is a good one for HRC....even though I still know Obama will be the nominee.

;-)

This is unbelievable. She was for the rules before she was against the rules. And folks wonder why she gets a bad rap...

Senator Barack

Obama Obama for America

P.O. Box 8102 Chicago, IL 60680

Dear Senator Obama,

This has been an historic and exciting campaign. Millions of new voters have been brought into the process and their enthusiasm for the Democratic Party and the principles for which you and I have fought and continue to fight is unprecedented. One of the foremost principles of our party is that citizens be allowed to vote and that those votes be counted. That principle is not currently being applied to the nearly 2.5 million people who voted in primaries in Florida and Michigan. Whoever emerges as the Democratic nominee will be hamstrung in the general election if a fair and quick resolution is not reached that ensures that the voices of these voters are heard. Our commitment now to this goal could be the difference between winning and losing in November. I have consistently said that the votes cast in Florida and Michigan in January should be counted. We cannot ignore the fact that the people in those states took the time to be a part of this process and to make their preferences known. When efforts were untaken [sic] by leaders in those states to hold revotes to ensure that they had a voice in selecting our nominee, I supported those efforts. In Michigan, I supported a legislative effort to hold a revote that the Democratic National Committee said was in complete compliance with the party's rules. You did not support those efforts and your supporters in Michigan publically [sic] opposed them. In Florida a number of revote options were proposed. I am not aware of any that you supported. In 2000, the Republicans won an election by successfully opposing a fair counting of votes in Florida. As Democrats, we must reject any proposals that would do the same. Your commitment to the voters of these states must be clearly stated and your support for a fair and quick resolution must be clearly demonstrated. I am asking you to join me in working with representatives from Florida and Michigan and the Democratic National Committee to arrive at a solution that honors the votes of the millions of people who went to the polls in Florida and Michigan. It is not enough to simply seat their representatives at the convention in Denver. The people of these great states, like the people who have voted and are to vote in other states, must have a voice in selecting our party's nominee.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton
