Obama is ready for prime time, Most foward thinking people are ready. Just those for white's only contunie to imped the way. Why do you think the slogan is "hillary or mccain only".

kathyw1:28PMApr 24th 2008

Vig- I also support your statement to superdelegates, and call on them to come out ahead of time, and stop taking the safe route. Obama is surely going ot have problems in the general election, and where will we be as Democrats because of it? We'll have McCain and that 's NOT a option. HILLARY IS OUR BEST OPTION!

dolly1:29PMApr 24th 2008

It amazes me that Obama can be offended that Charlie and George asked him some personal questions, well get over it they finally asked all the things people have been thinking and wanting answers to and he could not handle the heat so Hillary is right get out of the kitchen this sure did show the true side of Obama, go george and charlie

Gus Hughes1:30PMApr 24th 2008

Karl Rove is always right? Then why did he work so hard and successfully to get a baffoon elected to the Presidency twice! The guy can't be all there!

OLIVER1:31PMApr 24th 2008

Get with it whiteys. Your days of ruining the world with your greed, your lies and your hatred are nearly at end. If there is a God, you white guys have a rueful judgement day coming.

Justin - Thanks for this, they say you are made stronger by facing evil, so, here it goes...

Karl Rove has a right to his opinion, but I suggest there may be more to your statement, "Naturally, there must be an inquiry into the motivation of such a contribution to the intellectual debate surrounding the Democratic contest from the dark overlord of the vast-right-wing-conspiracy"

Motivation - hummm

Here are some questions that I have heard "experts" slide into the discussion over the last three days. (That is another way of saying the point did not come from a "deranged cult-member".)

For inquiry:

Who holds the numbers?

What if a candidate needs an exit strategy, a strategy that would produce what was intended in the first place? (Control of the Democratic Party - at all levels) Break it down so it can be put back together again... Divide and concur... (Ever hear so much chatter about white this and black that?)

What if a candidate needed to legitimize a position to take the 2012 election? Poor thing, they just would not listen, well look how I have brought the DLC Party back together... Now elect me this time... I would not be too old, and I'm in good health...

What if some in the RNC would use a war hero as the head of their spear? See, he is not really one of us... Hold tight folks, we will keep hold... It's just 4 years...

What if the chaos was productive? Our profit and power influence is in place, just looks a little messy...

What if the media was useful? Look at ALL those talking heads shouting for ratings... Look at ALL that traffic coming in with our "splash for the cash"... Nah, those 2.0 folks are not really reporters...

Not my questions, but "expert" chatter.

But one does have to ask, why the sudden incersion, and meetings with, all those of "the vast-right-wing-conspiracy", NOW as opposed to the General?

What WOULD be gained by turning off the youth vote?

Hmmmm

More inquiry please.

Sorry Whispers, I failed to copy Van Jone's name before my comment.

Celia1:38PMApr 24th 2008

Karl Rove? LOL...he has a lot of trouble heading his way. He may want to save his analysis for his defense. Looks like Mr. Rove is headed to jail.

tzada1:40PMApr 24th 2008

From : gun toten dem12:50PMApr 24th 2008
So since when has Rove ever said any thing good about any democrate? Has the swift boating of John Kerry all of a sudden been lost to our memories? Rove obviously is no friend of any democrate and will stop at nothing to make sure the republicans hold onto the Presidency. He should be in jail for outing a CIA operative, He would proububly lie even if he was sworn in at a trial or hearing

From me:

“To make the definition of swiftboating synonymous with "smears," "lies," and "innuendo" is to declare John Kerry's innocence. Once declared, one may conclude that it is the service of the Swift Vets that is tarnished, and that there may be some truth to Kerry's claims of heroism and charges of genocide in Vietnam. After all, both Kerry and the Swift Vets cannot be telling the truth. Whether explicitly, or implicitly with this newly created derogatory connotation of swiftboating, to declare Kerry's innocence is to do again to the Swift Vets in 2008 what Kerry and cohorts did to them in 1971.’

mrbline1:43PMApr 24th 2008

That Rove says it is suspect enough.

That his words could freely interchange with the Clinton campaign says even more.

People forget that every single argument used against Obama here was in some form used against Bill Clinton in 1992.

People also forget that until the democrats get a candidate, the polls against the GOP are meaningless. The argument assumes either candidate's support leaves the party completely once the other wins . . . blatantly false. The argument assumes that this is a three candidate general election . . . blatantly false. The argument also assumes all three candidates are getting equal exposure on equal fronts . . . again blatanty false.

Obama is the frontrunner, both McCain and Clinton want him gone. If Clinton was the frontrunner, Rove, Limbaugh, The Pittsburg Tribune Review, and FOX news would be going after her with one main difference . . . Obama wouldn't be joining them.

That is why he is the frontrunner.

Any idiot can see the writing on the wall here, if he/she cares to look.

This guy scares the crap out of Washington . . . I love it!

Two more reasons Obama cant win:

ncgop.org

Thank you North Carolina! A state with some grit. A state unafraid of Axelrod and his goon squads.

Go to: ncgop.org

to see the great new ads running there and guess what --- they AREN’T Hillary’s or McCain’s!

THOSE DARN 527'S HAVE BEGUN!

SamTexas1:47PMApr 24th 2008

To me, without getting too personal, it seems that many Obama supporters and even his campaign are "bitter" about the Clinton win in Pennsylvania. Yes, she was expected to win and she did. To come out now and think that he was only tryin' to close the gap or yadda yadda yadda is loonacy. He was tryin' to win it. You don't throw that kinda' money at something and not expect a big return. If that is the claim, then imagine what kinda' money he would throw as president and expect it to stick. Now, let's just take the popular vote, NOT DELEGATES, just yet. The idea of FL and MI has to come into play. The votes didn't break party rules, the party leaders in those states did. They are the ones who need to be punished. The popular vote from those two states should count. REGARDLESS! Work the delegate count out later. This will be the first time in history maybe that all 50 states will get to vote in a primary that really matters, but wait...not all 50 states. Just 48? Clinton and Obama had no choice but to agree with the FL and MI fiasco, let's be clear on that. Other states were able to move their primaries, but why not these two states. I know I am gettin' a little side tracked here, but there really is so much to cover. I'll have to blog it on myspace. Bottom line here though, Rove is on to something and the votes in PA felt the same way. Supers will vote which ever way they want. It's obvious and hypocritical for Obama to say "the will of the people" where a good portion of his Supers are from Districts and States that Clinton won. You can't really use that as a legitimate reasoning for pressuring them to vote for you. Though, it is working for some odd reason.

Ricky Dee1:48PMApr 24th 2008

I am more afraid of Barack Hussein Obama and his "Manchurian Candidacy," than I am of Karl Rove. That tells me everything I need to know...

1QUARTERHORSE1:48PMApr 24th 2008

I am a rural, small-town American. I’m not bitter. I don’t carry a gun but I do believe in the Holy Bible and God.

Hillary won in Pennsylvania, despite being outspent by Obama's “mega bucks” and bombardment on TV, radio, internet ads, phone calls, etc., etc., because we believe Hillary to be the better candidate --- pure and simple. True Americans cannot be bought!
Hillary was GREAT in the Pennsylvania debate --- Obama did quite poorly.
OBAMA HAS REFUSED TO DEBATE IN NORTH CAROLINA. He apparently can only read a pretty scripted speech from a teleprompter --- And he wants to run our country??? NO WAY!
Does he plan to have Jeremiah Wright spewing “God Damn America” from the White House? Are Obama’s frequent visitors going to be their anti-American, terrorist friends: bomber Ayers, Farrakhan, Rezko, among others?
We need someone to show respect to ALL Americans, regardless of where they live.
HILLARY 2008!

Crystal1:49PMApr 24th 2008

Obama supporters are supposedly the educated, the college kids and the elitists. Take away the 97% of the black votes and he's left with the supposedly educated, elitists and college kids, which adds up to NOTHING!! Anybody who doesn't think this race is all about race, is in denial. And anybody who doesn't vote for Obama is immediately accused of being a racist by none other than the the racists themselves. That's the only defense you have, since you can't point to anything important he's done for our country other than make speeches that have more times than not - zzzzzzzzzzzz!!

Wolf1:50PMApr 24th 2008

Vig - one other thing for the super-delegates is that I would ask them to read both of Senator Obama's books and ask him questions.

Whispers - I understand what you are saying but I am wondering why Black people vote for Senator Obama? I have read and heard it is because he is black. Would it surprise you to know he is 7% black, 43% Arab and 50% white? It is how Senator Obama chooses to represent himself but I do wonder if it is politically motivated and the black voters of the US are being duped?

DAN1:50PMApr 24th 2008

CLINTON AND ROVE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON. UGH!!!

Shirley1:51PMApr 24th 2008

Clinton's SPAMMING is getting to be too much, 4 incoing emails a day begging for money. Like one would be enough. She is REALLY DESPERATE. With all her latest claims of raising millions, why the SPAMMING FOR MONEY. Never got 4 a day before. I have requested to be removed as far back as a month ago and still get her DAM SPAM. She is a LAME DUCK!!!!
