Just did a walk through (5.00 / 5) (#5)
by Stellaaa on Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 12:58:52 PM EST
in the so called A list of blogs, and did not see the stories TL is covering.  

Makes ya think.  

And vice versa i am sure (5.00 / 3) (#8)

People need to judge with the own minds what they think matters.

One thing you will not see here is false smears against Barack Obama. you will see those all over the A-List blogs.

That is my objection to them.

Yep. I used to not like too much moderation (5.00 / 3) (#14)

but Talkleft has more than proven it's worth it.

BTD, if HC wins these upcoming states by anywhere near these margins, do you really think she should drop out rather than let the SD's decide it at the convention? I have really mixed feelings about that because I think a floor fight would be bad for our party, but I don't want to nominate someone who may no longer have much of a chance to win in November. Though, I'm starting to have my doubts that we'll win in Nov. with either of them.

What should have been a primary for every Democrat to be proud of has turned into a messy nightmare.

Frankly... (5.00 / 6) (#21)
by Stellaaa on Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 01:10:22 PM EST
I hope she fights.  I hope they get it that it's not gonna be a cake walk to beat McCain.  I don't want to lose cause HIllary just let them push on us this artificial candidacy.  The more Obama is out there, the less he is liked, the Axelrod story is falling apart.  I don't want Hillary to drop out then we are stuck.

I think (5.00 / 2) (#23)
by Big Tent Democrat on Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 01:12:30 PM EST
it is now a guaranteed train wreck.

I do not know what I will say if Clinton wins PA by 20. Which she might at this rate.

That is hard to ignore.

Let's just wait for the voters BTD (5.00 / 1) (#44)

It saves us all from calling this race earlier than it needs to be and looking foolish.

I was just looking at the comment section in response to an AOL poll regarding Wright and Obama and they were running about 80% negative for Obama.  It's not going away this time.

Clinton does seem to be doing it,  "backwards, and in high heels".

Maybe just me, but I was very impressed with how she got the Ohio voters out on bad roads in foul weather in flood and ice to vote for her in a primary.

Defies all reason, but she is popular with millions of Americans. She must have some personal charm of her own.  

But the Democratic Party have been complicit in damaging her. Does anybody know what she did to earn the Party's ex-communication? Is it political or personal, or both?

If there is a floor fight (none / 0) (#84)

it would guarantee full live media coverage like they used to and a chance for the whole country to see Hillary hold up.  It should be quite exciting.  

Unless they have new DNC rules at conventions, I understand that delegates are only pledged for the first balloting.  If there is no winner, then they are free to vote for any candidate.  This should make for a riveting TV reality drama!

Bringing up race is a risky thing for the Obama campaign (The speech, John Kerry, Claire McCaskill comments)  The rev. Wright's words are not going away ever! and Since Obama would not 'disown' him, unfortunately guarantees that it is there for all to see.

For me personally, I cannot see any American, no matter how disgusted one might be about things as they are now, ever going to the extent of saying, 'God damn America,' and then have several in the congregation applaud.  Imagine condemning every American, guilty or not! That is so terrible. Talk about 'using the Lord's name in vain!.

They don't exist in Obamaworld (5.00 / 2) (#12)
by dianem on Thu Mar 20, 2008 at 01:05:46 PM EST
In Obamaworld, Obama is so far ahead that Clinton doesn't have a chance, his speech was so effective that even dedicated Republicans are considering voting for him, and the right-wing is going to crash and burn this fall as they futily attempt to burst the Obama bubble using their nasty campaign techniques.
