what about obama’s support of nafta?

I have been working for Hillary’s campaign and find it an honor to do so. Comments from a person named sarabeth just simply infuriate me! What some Democrats do not understand that there are growing numbers of us who will not, under any circumstances, vote for Barack Obama. The Democratic “good ole boy” attitude of some of the senior Dems will cause them to find out how strongly we feel that she was thrown under the bus not only by the press, but by her fellow Dems as well. I am a Democrat, but right now, I am not very proud of it especially when I learned today that George McGovern also sold her out. How dishonorable is he??? She gave up a good deal of her life during his run for the presidency to work for him and this is how he pays her back? Obama and the turncoats are going to find out just how angry a lot of us are. What part of “not going to vote for him” do they not understand”?

What part of 4 MORE years of BUSH do YOU not understand?????
I can’t understand “these” people that are “proud” to announce they will either NOT vote or vote for McCain…Solely because their candidate did not win. If the last 8 years were good for you,then by all means give Bush a 3rd term. But if you’re struggling now under the this disatrous economy,how much more will you do so under McCain?
These folks that whose feelings are sooo tied to Hillary’s campaign,care more about Hillary NOT getting the nomination than improving their own personal situations. Why engage in “revenge” when the ONLY person you’re huting is YOURSELF???? That is not a very intelligent stance to take.From the outset every one should have realized there could only be ONE winner. Maybe this wouldn’t be so hard had Hillary not been dubbed as the “nominee” from the begining.
They both have worked hard and ran their respective campaigns,now
IT’S OVER……WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!! Disapointment I can understand,but blatent IGNORANCE I can not!
Don’t worry about Hillary,she’ll recover….she will be fine….she has 109 Million to comfort her……She’s not worried about Paying her mortgage,or putting gas in her car,or getting that call that her loved one has died in Iraq for a war SHE supported.Her support of NAFTA won’t impact her job. Can YOU say the same?

We have heard nothing but questions like “what does Hillary have to do to beat Barack Obama?” We have never heard the same types of questions about Obama’s campaign. My question is; What does a black man have to do to win other than win in order to be considered the winner”?

My sentiments exactly!!!!!!

O’bama? Twice the support? the right thing?

But instead we hear

“full speed on to the White House.”

“we were outspent 2 to 1 by my opponent, so go to hillaryclinton.com to contribute…”

I mean, holy fucking shit, lady! He doesn’t take
lobbyist/special_interest money. There is a primary-phase campaign donation limit for each person. Obama didn’t put in $11.4 million of his own money, like Hillary did (you *are* allowed to put more than $2300 into your own campaign, because the U.S. Supreme court has ruled that spending your own money on your own campaign is constitutionally protected free speech).

So why is Obama ahead by more than 2 to 1 in financial support?

We’ve eliminated rich supporters mega-contributing to a political effort (like Harry and Louise or the Swift Boat liars), except for the fact that Hillary has pumped $11 million of her own money into her own campaign.

lessee, let’s do the math.

$_clinton = num_clinton_supporters × $_mean_clinton

$_obama = num_obama_supporters × $_mean_obama

Now for either Obama or Clinton

$_mean < $_max = $2300

Now, Clinton is definitely the candidate of what was the Democratic Party Establishment. “The Clinton Trademark”.

How is it be that $_mean_clinton < $_mean_obama ? It can’t be.

So if $_mean_obama = 2×$_clinton:

num_clinton_supporters <= 1/2 × num_obama_supporters

Barack Obama has more support than Hillary Clinton. At least twice the support.

Just imagination how much cred she could have gotten if she didn’t wait for Terry McAuliffe or James Carville or for Bill to say to her, “Hon, it’s over.” What if she had figgered that out for herself and gracefully brought her supporters to that same position Tuesday night instead of acting selfishly and ambitiously? Maybe it will be Chelsea that will break the inevitable to her.

Why doesn’t she do

1. the right thing?
2. the smart thing?
3. the thing that will make her look soooo much better and even give her some historical note and rehabilitate her image from being not as trustworthy (that’s a polled fact) and definitely an ambitious relative of a president who considers themselves entitled to have the White House controlled by one of two family dynasties for 28 years?
