Noted in msg #9 even sooner, the empty apology, IF you were offended I apologize if you weren't then I don't.

(or some such crup), I raise my eyebrows at the notion Senator Clinton did not mean exactly what she said and said it in such a way that she could even garner more support from the crowd that always rolls their eyes when the truth about an indelicate subject is pointed out.

I would substitute "democrats" in for the first "the media", and then the only thing I would add is that there are some "justifications" being made for why the "actual voting process" is perceived as not needed to be played out, but I agree with you.



And therefore, by YOUR approach, that must make you wrong!

There's a part of me that believes she thought she needed to say SOMETHING to get her name in the paper again...

The last few days were filled with McCain vs. Obama on military service, experience, the GI Bill, and foreign negotiations...

This might've been her way of saying to the media "Don't forget about me!!!!!"...

Yep.
And that's exactly why I am glad this election I did not pin my hopes-gung ho- on any one candidate or even party for that matter.
Cause, frankly, I would have had my little parade rained on many times by the sheer nausea of finding out my prince was no prince and my queen...well...
**There's a straight line for ya' !**

Clearly Hillary is showing signs of great frustration.She is starting to implode and she is embarrassing not only herself but her party as well.It's time for her to make a decision,a decision that focuses more on what's right for her party than what's right for Hillary.

I don't think it matters now. To some extent she finished her campaign today.

Blahdy blah blah blah. These candidates spend huge amounts of time in front of cameras and audiences talking and talking and talking. I speak very little in real life, yet I manage to say something stupid at least once or twice a day. If I hear something stupid from these guys every couple weeks, I have to say they are doing pretty damned well.

It was a historical event which changed a presidential race. It was a quick comparison because it was dramatic. But po', po' Obama...lawsy, e'rybody tryin ta keep da po', po' black man down. I'm getting sick of the race thing and how untouchable BHO thinks he is. Frankly, I am finding his whiny antics and his holier than thou demeanor a bit tiresome and a lot arrogant.

When he took to the camera with the audacity to WARN other campaigns not to raise his wife's spurious comments as an issue, I was done then. I had a lot of hope for Obama in the beginning. I thought he was going to break the race barrier and take the White House and I could have been proud of him for doing it. But now that the layers have been peeled back...
