Candidates to Appear on WWE Raw
Apr 21st 2008 5:01PM
Filed Under:eHillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, Featured Stories, 2008 President
So far, John McCain has had front row seats to a brutal, bloody steel cage match between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He's been playing the role of the heel manager, a younger Classy Freddie Blassie perhaps, who's job is to distract the special guest referee, "blind" George Stephanopoulos, while Obama's down, so Hillary can come off the top rope with a foreign object. Tonight, the three candidates will actually appear on WWE Raw, though only in the form of taped messages to promote the WWE's voter registration drive, Smackdown Your Vote. The candidates did get in digs at each other. Senator Clinton said, "The last man standing may just be a woman." Senator Obama asks special interest groups if they can "smell what Barack is cooking?" Senator McCain showed his wrestling IQ by deftly copping the catchphrases of Ric Flair, HHH and Hulk Hogan, saying, "If you want to be the man, you have to beat the man. Come November, it'll be game over. And whatcha gonna do when John McCain and all his McCainiacs run wild on you?"
And no, Senator McCain didn't power bomb the Iron Shiek.

Let's be realistic! -- Hillary won 14 states to Obama's 30 -- He is ahead of her in number of delegates -- He is ahead of her in number of popular votes -- He leads her in fundraising, in spite of her loan of $5 millions -- She is flat broke. -- She is more than 9 millions in debt -- Her vendors refuse to fill her orders knowing she cannot pay them -- Her campaign runs amok with arguments, firings, demotions, betrayals from lack of leadership -- More people are jumping off her ship than did on the Titanic and the Lusitania -- Five members of Bill's cabinet endorsed Obama instead of Hillary -- She claims to be an expert in healthcare, when the Healthcare Reform Initiave which she was in charge of was one of her greatest failures -- The main focus of her campaign is running negative rumors about him, so she will not deal with the real issues -- She claims Obama has no experience, then how in the hell did he get ahead of her? -- Why place your vote on a loser?

Real good article. I enjoyed reading it. Hope it doesn't turn out to be a male chavz thing at the end. Don't know why you mention George Stephanopoulos- since he is the first guy who finally ask the Illinois man some real questions. I wish they would have asked about the sexual accusations, that would have been much greater news.

DL Graham- why do you keep saying that Hillary is steaing the election? The people keeping voting for her for these reasons:The ties:Obama marxist Libyan president Muammar al Gadaffi (proven), Syrian tycoon Antoin Rezko (proven), Saudi Arabian sheikhs fundraisers (proven), Iraq's global arms dealer, Nadhmi Auchi,(proven)
also marxist Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega (still in question) then there's hardcore anti-Israel, pro-Palestine PLO enforcer Rashid Khalidi,(proven). Obama was a member of the Woods Fund with communist domestic terrorist Bill Ayers who bombed the Pentagon, the US Capital, among other things,(proven) his E. Germany communist educated cousin Raila Odinga (proven). And let us not forget Rev Wright.
If Obama didn't have all these issues- plus some that I can't mention on this blog without been censored- why in heavens would we want to vote for a liberal bigot communist?

Don't believe the Mythology!6:00PMApr 21st 2008
Whenever Clinton is in the lead, the Obamamaniacs go into slime mode creating a lot of lies and myths.
The facts are:
-Clinton has won 3 out of the last 5 races and is about to win her FOURTH in Pennsylvania. Obama has LOST 3 out of the 5 last races and is probably going to lose the next one.
-Both Clinton and Obama are virtually tied in the popular vote which is between 0.6% if you count all the states, with Clinton gaining fast and furious.
-Clinton is in the lead in the electoral vote count (the only one that would matter against John McCain)
-Clinton still leads in the Superdelegate count and just picked up three more in the last few days
-Obama has slipped nationally TEN to TWENTY points against McCain since the Reverend Wright "Pastor Disastor"... Whereas Hillary has maintained a THREE point lead over McCain in the most recent Ap national poll.
-Obama's slipped after the last debate, where Clinton moved up a whopping SIX POINTS NATIONALLY to take the lead
-Clinton leads Obama in Pennsylvania by anywhere between 5% and 20+% of the vote.
-Michigan and Florida voters still have not had their votes counted in what were legal state run election. If the DNC feels the votes shouldn't have counted in January, then count them now. Those voters have been punished enough. And no candidate is going to win legitimately with those voters being disenfranchised.
Agreeing also with Jaki Baez 5:42PM
There is no STEALING here, Clinton is winning these races and debates. She's in it to win it. Neither candidate is ABLE to get enough delegates to take the nomination without other formulas coming into consideration, including the superdelegates. Most of those formulas are falling into Hillary Clinton's column.

Well, I am pleasantly surprised to hear the WWE has a voter registration drive. I had no idea. Thanks for the info.
Joe6:04PMApr 21st 2008
Let's face it the only one in this election process that have a issue is Hillary. Let the Rev.Wright issue go " NO ONE IS INTERESTED ANYMORE " it's over deal with it!!. Let's move on and deal with what's going on in America today and what changes we can make together in unity in this nation to bring about change. The last thing we need in the White house right after Bush got us into this war and raised gas prices along other things is another DRAMA QUEEN!!!! We as the america people and abroad are not interested in all that!!!!!. We need to address the things to make our society better. We're also looking for a change for the better unless these people don't mind the way things are in America today. Need I say more?. hmm even God isn't a prespector of persons but obviously Hillarys family and camp haven't metioned about doing anything to help the mexicans, latino, chineese, blacks etc. in our communities what's the deal with that?. Is this not the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA " ONE NATION UNDER GOD??". If so shouldn't we honor god and press for the nation to come together as he would?. Or render our thoughts and our doings to the way the devil would have them to be??.
mrbline6:15PMApr 21st 2008
Errrrr ummmmmmm . . . . actually Obama CAN win with elected delegates alone. The problem is that it would take a virtual miracle for it to happen, much like Hillary's miracle now.
If he wins the remaining contests 70-30, he wins without a single superdelegate.
Gotta love playing with the delegate counter.
It is not said to the public, because it is a longshot.
Understand Clinton people, this is not to discourage you, dissuade a single vote, or disparage your candidate. This is just the math.
I recommend you try the CNN delegate counter. It is a lot of fun, and you can play as long as you want. Try a bunch of different scenerios. I have, and as such have a pretty good handle on most of the possibilities in this, not what each campaign tries to spin.
Clinton cannot win without at least some supers. She cannot afford to lose a single one of the four largets states left by more than 5%. On average, she would need a 62-38 in the remaining ten, with 70% of the supers going her way. All simple math.
Can she do it? Yes! Are the odds long? Yes! But don't paint a rosy pic of this; that is how she got behind in the beginning. To quote her, "The sky is not going to open up with celestial choirs" and hand her this.

OF COURSE OBAMA CAN WIN THE DEM NOMINATION with the help of the relentless Clinton Swift Boating Media...
THE REAL PROBLEM is Obama cannot win the general election with the millions of votes from Clinton's supporters he will never get.
CAN YOU SAY PRESIDENT MCCAIN? Good. Get used to it.

STACY6:25PMApr 21st 2008
MISS-SPEAKS:
• She didn’t know about the FALN pardons.
• She didn’t know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
• She didn’t know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
• She didn’t know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
• She opposed NAFTA at the time.
• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
• She played a role in the ’90s economic recovery.
• The billing records showed up on their own.
• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
• She was always a Yankees fan.
• She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
• She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there)

LET'S BE REALISTIC.
every vote counts, the race is not over ... except for the poor people in MI and FLA... those votes don't count...
you complain about negitive rumors... then you go off on several rumors , yes they are negitive, or is this ok because you first complained about Sen. Clinton first to qualify your complaint...
Sen. Clinton claims that obomma has no expierence.. well florence ... obomma does not have expierence.. that is not a " negitive rumor" that is a fact..
how did obomma get ahead of Sen. Clinton ? ( note it is in the middle of the race ) not sure, but maybe, just maybe , it was the biased liberal media (MSNBC, CNN , ETC. ) putting forth the negitive rumors that you so much detest.
or maybe it is the guilt ridden white voter that has jumped on the band wagon of the latest FAD to prove that once and for all they are not a raciest. what more proof do I need to prove that I am not a raciest that I voted for a BLACK MAN. regardless of qualifications, expierence, record, ...
or maybe it is the black voter that will vote only for "ONE OF OUR PEOPLE" ( yes black vote is out for obomma because of his race )
So , now let's be realistic....
The facts are true, and they are brutal, obomma is not the one.
Patrick, proud to be an American.

April 21, 2008 -- "To overtake Barack Obama in the nationwide popular vote, Hillary Clinton needs a bigger win in tomorrow's Pennsylvania primary than she has had in any major contest...." (bloomberg)
Barack Obama, leads Hillary Clinton by more than 800,000 votes:
Doubtfull Hillary can landslide Obama by 20 points.
The chances of Hillary catching Obama are not there even if she got 20 points.
Obama has poured his heart and soul into Tuesday's race. It is working for him. Clinton would never have a prayer running against McCain.

A NEW PHOENIX INDEPENDENT PARTY!
ALI ETERAZ: "For better or worse, America has a two-party system. This means that each party serves as a "big tent" for hundreds of smaller interests and communities. The largest and most powerful groups within each party are usually referred to as "the base" - they serve to galvanise the party with energy, passion and money."
REPLY: But, there comes a time of "CHANGE" and that moment has come, the moment when a "NEW PROGRESSIVE" young "TURKS" not only demand "CHANGE" but infact say "YES WE CAN, AND YES WE WILL". The Democratic Party has failed across the board, and has out lived its orginal purpose.
(D-NY) US/Senator Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton, will force her campaign into the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, and with any luck will "steal" the nomination of that flawed party tearing it apart.
An out of that confilgration will arise a "NEW INDEPENDENT PARTY" as the Phoenix rising from the ashes born anew. Made up of Black-Afro-American, The "New Turk" Democratics, The Move.On.Org., (D/I-CN) Joe Lieberman Democratics, The (Log Cabin Republicans), just as a start joining with INDEPENDENTS.
It will begin the day of the "stealing" of the nomination by the Clinton's (On-Line) individuls will from groups, and then the groups will become an internet movement. Then individuals will meet at airport (Hub) locations, and then these individuals from different parts of the nation will form cells in their areas, then conference call meeting will be held. Then large confernce's and political meetings will meet in (HUB) city locations.
What will the new party name be? It will be decided by very media savy young turks, not just men but women, all of the modern internet era. They are not going to go along with things as they are or have been, its going to be a party born in the new era the new millenium. No Super-Delegates, No Party "Boss's" but a Party directorate, a Party Board of Supervisors.
Will Hillary be the first Woman President? NO! And, Hillary will be remembered for tearing the Democratic Party Apart, setting the stage for a "NEW PARTY" a progressive party, a party of the internet age, a party of the people, a party of youth, a party of international concerns.
The "New Party" born like the Phoenix will fly higher than any of the former parties. What will be the Platform? Who knows, its a blank computer screen, and they will decide what to delete and what to amend, what goes on the hard-drive, what goes to the server.
IT IS TIME FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO END! It has failed, and (D-NY) Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton has been it's final and most benificial failure, for out of its death a new party is about to rise.
