Clinton says she leads Obama in the popular vote

She is so full of shit--this is based on if florida and michigan votes were counted.

Clinton is an exceptionally shrewd woman, much more shrewd than Obama. Clinton is placing Obama in a position of having to state both the votes of the peoples of Florida and Michigan do not count and to state those good peoples do not have a right to vote. Obama must do this to protect his lead. Those peoples of Florida and Michigan will not forget Obama stating they do not count nor deserve to vote in these primaries. This will cost Obama votes should he make his way to the general election. Should Florida and Michigan be allowed to vote in these primaries, this will also cost Obama. Delegates being seated from Florida and Michigan will also have in mind Obama's position their respective states do not count. Obama has painted himself into a corner, and Clinton provided him both the brush and the paint. Clinton is very shrewd! Okpulot Taha Choctaw Nation

Purl Gurl, The CLINTON'S are trying to steal the nomination by any means necessary. In my humble opinion Sen. Clinton is not being shrewd. She's speaking with a forked tongue. One of my favorite quotes states that "When a whole nation is roaring Patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart." Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882), Journals, 1824 Life at Street Level, Zach.

Hillary is rightfully entitled to be the candidate and president. She's the one who's White. That means all the rules change, forget whatever was said or agreed to before. Under no circumstances, not even established and agreed upon rules, should a Black ascend to this level. It's important for White people to unite and come to their senses. How Hillary does it is not important, all that is important is that she does it. No holds barred, the kitchen sink, marginalize Obama, lie, cheat, and steal. Her entire campaign going forward need only be 3 words, "He's a N____r". That's it. That's really all that's required and important to declare.

if america knows what good for her , its Barak Obama.Beside being an all rounde person he is passionate and resolute about his commitment to america and the world at large. at the verge that america is its only some one acceptable to the world community that can lead america to the promise land of ever greatness. kenn amaechi

I had planned to respond to Anonymous, but then what is the point. Ignorance is bliss and I want this person to remain in their own little name calling ignorant blissful world and I want everyone to read the comments from Anonymous and make their own judgement call. Peace be with you.

Senator Clinton and her campaign are a joke. At this point, it is just sad.

It's interesting to me that Hillary Clinton would have a surrogate that was not only a longtime member of Trinity United Church of Christ but also still considers Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright her pastor. That surrogate would be Rev. Marcia Dyson. Rev. Marcia Dyson's seminary education, in part, was sponsored by Trinity UCC and encouraged by Rev. Wright. As a matter of fact, it was at Trinity were she first met her husband, Rev. Dr. Michael Dyson, who's been very vocal in his defense of Rev. Wright. Too bad Rev. Marcia Dyson does not share the same integrity.

Did she go to her boss and defend Rev. Wright or perhaps denounce and reject Hillary for her part in politicizing the Rev. Wright issue? Hillary could have taken the high rode, considering that her rode surrogate is a product of Rev. Wrights teachings and sat there as Obama did for years--perhaps, not for the sermons in question, but she sat there nevertheless. Yet, Hillary spoke out against Rev. Wright and Trinity UCC, and to date Rev. Marcia Dyson has not publically said a word. Therefore, Rev. Marcia Dyson's silence on this matter is dishonest, hypocritical, and it shows a complete lack of intergrity. We already know that Hillary has those values. Rev. Marcia Dyson talks a good game about feminism and Black pride, but she does not walk it. "Sounding Brass and Tinkling Symbols." "Talking Loud and Sayin Nothing."

Whatever HRC, go ahead and steal the nomination and get mauled in November, destroy the DNC, and, I'll be happy to vote for McCain and will NEVER vote for another Democrat. She has played the race card quite well, and, with her as a "friend" who needs an enemy, along with her odd supporters. Anbody but Hillary Clinton 08, even a third term of Bush would be better.

The word is becoming clearer the more that Dean/Pelosi and others allow the Clinton machine to go on that the well-spring of support that OBAMA's candidacy has generated is not support for the Democratic Party. After Iraq (strike one), after "Impeachment is off the table" (strike two) you'd think they would have learned the lesson and not let the cup run over. Their real estate is quickly disappearing. They better do what is right in a hurry!

It's over for Hillary. Why Can't she understand that. It's our time to shine. She had hers. I hear the Clinton's always look for the future so how about looking for 2012.

Hillary can't "get it" because by hook or crook or arm twisting of those so called super delgates, she is going to get hers, its her sense of entitlement that tells her she should have it, not any concern for the public or the party, just her and that man of hers. Now she just wants to make sure we get 4 more years of so called "compassionate" GOP rule.

Why are we not seeing rebroadcasts of Senator Clinton stating that she understood that the voting in the states of Michigan and Florida would not count as well seeing signed copies of the documentation she submitted agreeing to follow the DNC's rules as a result of both states moving their primaries? Her obviously false declaration that she is leading the popular vote is just another desperate case of Senator Clinton making up the rules as she goes along while also extending the finish line as it best suits her own self-interest and all of it done with a rather less than a journalistic objective perspective reporting of it. Let me be the first to say that when push comes to shove and Senator Clinton is down for the count and the count is about to reach 10, she will resort to her last desperate sad act and seek to sue everybody on the issue of Florida and Michigan. It is a matter of when not if.

In actuality, there were two primaries held in both Michigan and Florida, that millions of voters chose to participate in as democracy dictates. The voters did not make the decision to move up the primary dates, so thus their votes should not be discounted. Obama chose to remove his name from the Michigan ballot, he wasn't forced off of it. So though it can't be held up officially, the fact is HRC has indeed received more votes than any other candidate, including Barack Obama. That's a fact! In this game of politics, you do indeed seek out every advantage to strengthen your candidancy, so yes, it is indeed shrewd spin on her part, though it's supported by fact, as I indicated above. Here's the othing thing...HRC and Barack agree on all of the same issues and we know for a fact that HRC has always been a defender of civil rights, affirmative action, and a general supporter of mainstream African-American causes period. If you add in Bill's specific contributions to the community, their collective clearly tops anything that Obama has done for the community thus far. Yet so many of us are being blinded by race that we are actually acting as if HRC is a republican in disguise or something, which is ridiculous. Obama supporters are becoming increasingly classless and unfairly critical of HRC, yet she's the one going unduly negative? How ridiculous...She's as entitled to the nomination, if not moreso, than he is. So fight on Hillary! Some of us still got your back.

Well, Langston, let her have it, she can't win anyway, I for one will make sure I work the phones for McCain, and I've never once voted for a Republican and do everything I can to see her defeated and her race baitng, fear tactics. Anyone but the woman who plays way too loose with race baiting and other lies to get what she feels is hers and does not have the best interest of anyone but her and that unfaithful, beard of a husband of hers. And, WilX, you are right, that is a troll to the ninth degree, just bizarre, scary rants, like the KKK cowards.

Add me to the list, I would NEVER vote for her and her husband, they injected the race factor in a race where is was not needed, and, it shwoed her and his true colors, don't be duped again by the Clinton's or the DNC black people or thier surrogates who also race bait.

Like school thugs on the playground or a neighborhood Street Gang, the Clintons think that by bullying and hurling insults, they will taunt Barack into another trap -- debate! Why should Barack engage in a barroom-brawl like debate to make himself look less Presidential? Besides Douglass and Lincoln were gentlemen with ethics and morals -- something sorely lacking in the Clintons! The questions that would be asked of Barack as President are not the same kind of personal attacks he would get at another debate, he is wise to decline! And, by continuing to say NO, he is showing that he is not going to be Bullied into debating for another show based on sensationalism rather than real issues and problems facing the American people today, and we really do have a myriad of problems to solve, and which must be solved! And, because Barack was Wise enough and is wise enough to point out how unfair and uneven the questions were directed at him at the last debate, they label him a "whiner" instead of someone who, and rightly so, is defending himself from a "hit job". But, if he does this, this might expose the ones who are directing the barbs and hits and their Purpose, so they distort the truth (he's whining) with a multitude of voices, all saying the same thing to give it power (brainwashing)! Most of the corporate media: cable news, ABC, NBC :are owned and Republican controled. They tell us what they want us to Hear, not what we need to Know to truly inform us as a society, which would "expose{ their deeds, give us power and aid in their demise! The Clintons and the Republican Spin Machine are all aligned against Barack! Both are fabricators, distorters, engage in fear and smear... there is no truth from either of the Giants only domination for their own selfish gain and not for the good of "all ... they have even colloborated together for greater strength, then one will overthrow the other if they get what they want! They, the Republicans, know the Clintons have ailenated African-Americans so they are now actively courting their support while trying to elevate Hillary and deflate Barack. They MSM are not asking Hillary any of the pertinent questions, not on Iran, not on Mark Penn, although he is still on conference calls to this day, not on a pending lawsuit in California or anything elese that might damage her candidacy in the eyes of the people. They don't ask her why, if Rev. Wright would have not been her pastor, why during Bill's Impeachment trial, they turned to Rev. Wright for prayer and strength? Because the Republicans have an "arsenal" of ammunition they Plan and have Planned for years to use against the Clintons if Hillary somehow becomes the Democratic nominee! Then they belittle Barack's achievement in Pennsylvania -- to close the enormous gap between him and Clintons was a monumental success and not given any credit by the Republican talking-points media. Instead they ask, "do we really know who Barack is?" -- They slyly ask, "why can't he close the deal?" This after showing him bowling over and over again and stating how he cannot relate to blue-collar workers with such a low bowling score or showing skits from Saturday Night Light which casts him a poor light, along with continuing whipping of Rev. Wrght and his comments on bitter. They do not report the news anymore, they do not inform us of the true conditions in Iraq or other pertinent news but rather pass on Gossip, fit for the Enquirer Magazine or Entertainment Tonight, so far we have fallen! And to Maureen Dowd -- It is always "Darkest before the Dawn!"
