This is typical media bull. What race baiting? It all started back when Bill Clinton said fairy tale and the media picked it up as trashing Obama's campaign. Then nobody showed the total clip, where what he was speaking of was Obama's voting record on the Iraq war. Women are mad as hell about how sexist our media is and how that seems to be OK. I'm a life long democrat and now I refuse to vote for Obama. I have joined the movement that calls for voting for Democrats in the house and senate but voting for McCain for President. That way we really let our voice be heard.

Devon9:22AMMay 12th 2008

Race baiting? Gimme a frickin break the only people that have race baited in this election have been the people that have benefited from it, and despite what the media who has been ridiculius will tell you, that has been Obama.

In fact, the very first person to bring up race in this election was Chris Matthews after Iowa, when he said and I quote" Blacks in South Carolina will not take it away from Obama now that he has proven that he can win."

That was clear race baiting, how come these hypocrites aren't crying foul about that?
Not only that, there has hardly been a day in this entire election that the media hasn't mentioned race, yet they have the audacity to point the finger at the Clinton's? They're completely off their MEDS on this one, and it's no wonder FOX NEWS' ratings are going through the roof, while CNN/MSNBC are getting absolutely blown off the map.

Jeremy9:27AMMay 12th 2008

I think its keeping all eyes on the democrats, as long as they are not on John McCain whats so bad about it?

hitemup1time9:29AMMay 12th 2008

I support President Clinton and Hillary Clinton because our Economy is struggling and our Deficit is @ an all time high right now and if I recall both of those issues were almost @ a stand still when They accompanied one another in the White House for 8 years as Commanders and Chiefs of this great nation. Right now is a pevital moment and we litterally have lost the Middle-Class in this Country, The Clintons and they're organization have always made sure the middle class has flourished. I would like to voice my opinion about being a Voice that is Heard and not pushed aside by a biast media and perhaps even a biast democratic party, It is evidently clear that the media is "Forcing the Hands of The Democratic Party to throw the Clintons out"
What they do not understand is that all they are accomplishing by doing so is guaranteeing a victory for the Republicans and John McCain and here we go with another 4 years of Bush. Look the numbers speak for themselves. We agree that McCain is going to be another Bush so simple mathematics will show if you go to the election of 2000 and 2004 you will see a trend of what states Bush Carried over Gore and Kerry. It is easy to see that Hillary has alot of support in some of those states and Beat Obama in all of the "BIG" states with the biggest population and with the most electoral votes. Her support as she clearly keeps indicating amongst Blue Collar White Working Class voters is overwhelmingly in her favor, these are the votes you need in an election for President. She will continue to fight on for Florida and Michigan to be seated and that will help even the playing field. NO ONE I repeat NO ONE will have enough Electoral Votes to win this Election for the Democratic party So they do not have the right to give any credit to the Obama organization referencing a Win. The Super Delegates may not even Decide on this issue.
There is a simple Question rising right now and that is do you want a Democrat in office or a Republican??? The Democratic Party is going to have to come to terms with that Simple Question and if it is Democrat then they will have to Choose Hillary Clinton other wise we will loose the Nomination and I believe by staggering numbers considering what is out in the media right now about Barack Obama. Look @ the Hard facts and that is what Hillary Clinton is going to argue up until the end. The Party would have to be loosing they're Bearing's if they really think Obama stands a chance. Hillary go ahead and use that slogan by the way. I just want to end with a letter I sent the Clinton Organization Pleading with them as a Florida Voter and here it is,

The Math to get the Nomination" Read this Very Important

Listen I and my wife are Hillary supporters and so is my family and friends and we are all from Florida, Missourri, Indiana, New York, California, and Arizona. and we have held group meetings, made calls, and contributions and know you NEED this nomination. We need this Nomination and we NEED YOU Hillary Clinton to be our Candidate. I know the math is against us right now but we havn't given up and we know you will not either. I am no Rocket Scientist but I have figured out a way for the math to work for you to win in the election for the electoral votes needed. First off, and I know it's going to be a long shot but you have to win the endorsement of John Edwards and Get his 19 Delegate Count in your favor from him succeeding them to you in compliance with the democratic committee in agreeance. Maybe Bill can help you with this. also; You will need to carry West Va. , Kentucky, and Puerto Rico by an avg. of 70/30 split. not bad considering the demographics and latino favorable vote for you. You need a tie in South Dakota and Montana and Oregon. all of this will be contengent on you also getting Fl. where you should have about 61 delegates to Baracks 43 and you will need to also seat Michigans votes but in order to do this you will need to give Barack the uncommitted votes of 237,762 you carried this state with 328,151 votes if you recall. that math is roughly 33/21 so you will still pick up delegates there. now furthermore you will need to and maybe most impressively win about 63% of the super delegates and Wham' you are the next democratic nominee. as far as I can see you have the tenacity and the backing of your name and all of us and many endorsements and of course poll victories to pull this off. tell them that 70 % of Obama supporters will vote for you even if Obama is out and only 48 % of our voters will vote for Barack or McCain come November. I, My wife, my family and friends happen to be those whom will either not vote or vote for McCain if we are not heard and you are not seated. they are infringing on all of our rights to vote "it is our constitutional right to vote" Who do they think they are.? WE will Send a message to these people. It may cost them the Nomination all together and then Wham' another 4 years of BUSH with McCain. Please, I know you are trying everything you can but DO NOT allow them to throw you out. Stand your ground and keep up the fight. Your HillaryAholics stand behind you most when you are down and you fight back everytime and that's precisely what your message should be from here on out and what you shall and will do from here on out. This I am confident of. The Republcans are hoping for Obama and routing for Obama so they can win this nomination.

Sincerely,

Your HillaryAholic Leader,

Kevin Poeling
Naples, Florida

Also, I will like to add to this a little bit on "The Math"

The States in just the last election won by Bush that Hillary should be a much better candidate in against McCain than Obama are West Va., Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Puerto Rico, and even Arizona. These States were carried by Hillary Clinton in the race to the whitehouse. The other States that were not won in 2004 by Bush but Obama might not be able to carry in this election against McCain and Clinton more than likely will are California, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, and New Jersey. Look People I don't know about you but lets be real here. I mean just because you don't want to make this about RACE and hurt our African American vote which by the way only makes up 22.5 % of the total Democratic vote and lets see 87.6% of them are voting for Obama. that math equivalates to about 6,504,300.00 votes and what was the last poll? Oh yeah 70% of them said they would vote for Hillary. so lets see whats that #? o.k. its. 4,553,010 votes and so you subtract that from 6,504,300 and it is only 1,951,290 votes. Now lets do a little subject here. lets say that the poll that just came out held some weight in the upcomming election which it will.. now only 48% of Hillary supporters claimed they would vote for Obama. she has over 17,000,000 votes with Fl. and Mi. lets just say for argument sakes that number which is 8,160,000 votes. seems like an awfull lot of diffenece to throw the election on doesn't it? take 8,160,000 votes subtract the 1,951,290 votes and you have 6,208,710 votes difference. AND THAT MY FRIENDS WILL LOOSE US THE ELECTION RIGHT THERE. JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO GET A LITTLE HARSH WITH OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS AND TELL THEM WHAT THE REAL NUMBERS ARE OUT OF FEAR.
I for one am upposed to allowing this nation to be ruled by an incompitent nominee and an unexperienced one who is tied up in all sorts of scandals and terrorist mentioning? what are we still even talking about and what has come over the American People? WAKE UP!!! Don't forget about what just happened to us in the last 8 years. We cannot afford to allow that to occur again.

VOTE HILLARY CLINTON or LOSE THE WHITEHOUSE.

Tim9:33AMMay 12th 2008

To KK, the race -baiting being referred to may be the assertions we heard from Hilary the other day where she stated that "working, hard-working Americans, white Americans," were voting for her rather than Obama. She made the assertion that the democrats will need those votes in November and that she was better suited to deliver them than Obama.

We have never heard Obama make race-based claims except in response to criticisms that he could not win over white voters. When faced with that accusation he has pointed out the number of predominately white states he has won. Other than that, and other than having to respond defensively to race related statements from others, Obama has not injected race into the campaign.

Listen to Hilary's statement referenced above. It was clearly a reference to the race of voters and the part that race would play in the general election.

Before you decide to vote against the Democratic candidate for President if it is not Hilary, think about it why you would be doing that. In terms of their positions on actions they would take as President, Hilary and Obama are much closer than Hilary and McCain. What has Obama actually said or done himself (aside from beating your favorite candidate) that would justify voting against him?

Linda9:35AMMay 12th 2008

What a ridiculous question. First of all it is the
Obama campaign that has continually used race
baiting in this campaign. You ask this question
as if it were a fact. you are a prime example
of press/media constant negative attacks on Clinton-
which by the way are a proven fact. Why don't you
take your bias and go back to journalism school
and start over.

Mary B9:37AMMay 12th 2008

What Hillary said the other day..is exactly everything that is being said after every primary...they break it down everytime...now she is race baiting...the only one doing that is ..obama....and some dumb people belive this PUPPET

Nutmeg9:39AMMay 12th 2008

I sent the DNC an email this morning telling them that they are the ones ruining the Democratic Party, and they will loose thousands in the long run. Me for one. They have favored Obama from day one and that is not their job. There are 50 states in this country and every citizen has a right to place their vote.

ed9:41AMMay 12th 2008

If the democrats vote for Hillary, they deserve what they get. At least Obama has been honest. I would not turst Hillary any further than I could toss her. Obama offers a new direction. Clinton offers the same old politics we have suffered under for many years. WAKE UP AMERICA and smell the coffee.

Nutmeg9:41AMMay 12th 2008

I will vote against Obama because he is not qualified to be the Commander and Chief. Is that clear enough?

Dan9:42AMMay 12th 2008

Obama uses phrases like "typical white person"

Obama is a member of a hate organization that pledges allegiance to Africa - not the U.S.

Obama lets his children listen to men who call Italians "garlic noses", and Jews "gutter people"



This racist doesn't have a chance in the general, and Republicans are praying he gets the nomination.

Lisa9:42AMMay 12th 2008

Clinton is not "race baiting"....she is trying to win!! I truly think she's the better of the two between Obama and Clinton and much better than hot headed McCain. I hope she doesn't quit due to pressure from idiot reporters and news media. Stop trying to twist things just to "get a story" and do what we pay you to do...report the truth!

I WILL VOTE FOR CLINTON OR MCCAIN

thomasecw9:47AMMay 12th 2008

One of the democratic party's biggest secrets is that the democrats, not the Republicans, are the true racists in this nation. The dems take the black vote for granted (not a secret for those who really do pay attention). In truth, the party has given up on the black vote in favor of the brown vote. Unfortunately for our brown citizens, they are not aware of how the democratic party will play the "bait and switch" game on them much as they have done on the blacks since Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan led them to the democratic side, promising blacks they would never have to think for themselves again.

Elaine9:47AMMay 12th 2008

I am quite tired of all of this Party Unity garbage.So far Hillary is the only candidate in either party outside of John Edwards that truly cares about the people over the party. Hillary needs to take it to the convention so that least our younger generations can learn how our process worked when it was fair. That was before wall to wall media telling us all what we should do. In the way of a successful Presidency we can give that notion up for at least 4 years if the empty suit Obama is elected. With Carter we had stagflation with Bush #2 we have started a never ending war. The media has politically dumbed down the American electorate.

Son of Liberty9:48AMMay 12th 2008

The Clinton are old politics.

Its a new movement happen in this country and its behind Sen Obama.

To the hillary supporter if you so behind her please donate to her campaign. Her campaign is 10mil in debt.
I support Barack and i donate 100 dollar a month to his campaign. Barack has 1.5 mil grassroot donate like myself. We going to take back the white house from the Repuke party. You can vote for McSame and have the same problem we face in 2008 when we are in 2012 but for us is going to be Sen Obama for REAL CHANGE.

Wolf9:50AMMay 12th 2008

I agree that Michagan's delegates should be seated at the convention, but since Obama wasn't even on the ballot, they should be split 50/50, as far as Florida is concerned, they're delegates should be told to stay home, it isn't like it's the first time your votes didn't count, you should be use to it by now.

Devon9:53AMMay 12th 2008

AOL's ridiculous lying questions with absolutely no basis or factual evidence to support it, is exactly why FOX NEWS channel's ((overall)) ratings are up 3% over the last 4 months, and CNN's overall ratings are down an asstonishing 20.7% over the last 4 months, and MSNBC is even worse than that, they're down 24% over the last 4 months.

When will the elite media realize that people have brains? You can only brainwash a few with your crap, people can and do read, and the one's who don't- don't really matter anyway, because at the first sign of trouble they will jump ship again, and again it will likely be due to ignorance.

Heck Fire, the O'Reilly Factor is by far the #1 rated news show in America right now, with over 3.7 million viewers every single night. CNN and MSNBC combined only get 2.8 million viewers.. LOL..

Face it, I hope Hyatt Hotel's and HARPO paid you guys well to try and rig the election, because you're through when it's all over, and everyone educated on the matter agree's on this.

Face it, if Hillary can't even beat Obama, then she stands no chance against McBush, as far as haters go, take a look at McBush's preacher who says the only religion more evil than Catholics is the Muslims. McBush plans to start WW3, but that's ok as long as we don't have a black prez, right?
