At least that was the "breaking news" on the view just now. Can't find anything on the net about it yet. Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee!

I'm waiting for her to announce she is running as an independent if she don't get the nomination. I think there is a good chance she will. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K |

I didn't see anything about conceding...only that she will "acknowledge that Barack has the number of votes to get the nomination". That lady is crazy, who knows what she's going to do!

I hate caring about this. I just get so... so... upset. Tell me. What is the sole reason for why Clinton supporters, come general election time, will either vote for McCain or write Hillary's name in? Now, we're talking about a democratic supporter of Clinton voting for a republican or just flipping the democratic nominee the bird by writing in the name of another. Just makes me sick to my stomach. There's a reason why democrats don't want McCain in office and that's not unifying enough to join forces? Why? It's ridiculous. Tell me which one of those myths hasn't been dismissed?

I'd have voted for Hillary over Obama any day of the week. Any man who doesn't know how many states are in the US doesn't deserve to be President. *eta, he said there were 59 states and hadn't yet been to Alaska or Hawaii but had one yet to visit.. WHAT?

Freke's More than Daily Delegate Count: 2,118 needed to win Obama Total: 2,083 Super: 339 Clinton Total: 1,917 Super: 293 Obama is now 35 delegates away from the nomination. Clinton is now 201 delegates away from the nomination. That is a difference of 166 delegates with Obama leading and increasing his lead by 7 superdelegates since last night. Stay tuned... I'm thinking this will probably be over tonight. (Apparently there is talk of her going underground once he has the magic number and trying to convince superdelegates to try to change their minds to vote for her instead. Which I can't imagine a sleazier way to try to win an election.) _______________________________ "Women are either goddesses or doormats."

I sure hope that she doesn't run as an independent Democrats need to back one candidate and if she ran, it would just take votes away from Obama and McCain would end up winning I really hate sore losers....... Don't get me wrong, I like Hilary but I feel that Obama would have a better chance at wining and probably be a better president.

ETA: Ok, googled it. He was talking about campaigning, I thought he said he never visited at all. He said he had been to 57 states...someone thinks it's because of Kerry and the Heinz connection lol. I like the image someone drew of the new flag. Pretty creative. I was just wondering how we could add more stars, now maybe we can make Puerto Rico a state. ...............

I don't like sore losers either, and between Hillary not giving up and Bill shooting his mouth off, I'm getting really frustrated with the Clintons.

C'mon SD Lady! It was worth a shot in the dark, wasn't it? I believe he knows there are 50 states. Whether he was making a joke at how grueling the campaign travels have been or just had a brain sneeze because he had that number on the brain for a different stat - I don't know. But I doubt he graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School without knowing there are 50 states. But to say something about the 'President' of Canada? That was a little bit dumb... but I still support him as our nominee.

Yes.. of course.. its better for him politically because of the awful things his spritiual leader was saying. That Catholic priest should also be taken to task for his vile tongue as well. I have NO TOLERANCE for people who attack people in the manner to which these people have. I don't care what color you are, what religion you follow (I happen to BE Catholic), what background your come from, what culture you come from.. we are supposed to live and work together. Period. It makes me sick to my stomach that PEOPLE STILL DONT GET IT. What bothered me about Obama is that he did not one time during his speech about leaving his church, did he say he disagreed with his pastor's views. So sad.. it really is so heartbreaking. ![]() ![]() |

Date: 6/3/2008 4:26:36 PM Comment: And that simply underscores why the de facto religious litmus test for office being applied by the vast majority of US citizens, in direct opposition to what is stated clearly in the constitution, is such a dreadful thing. I never thought I'd see a political race turn into a theological pissing match, but the last few got it rolling, and this one is just an embarrassing farce.
