To the black people voting for this vindictive wench:

How does it feel to be on the side of all those Hilary supporters who stay spewing all kinds of racist bile?

But then again, many black folk hate themselves.

This is in reponse to #6, umm sweetie do you live in Texas? That’s what I thought, I DO!!! 36% of Texas is Hispanic, and 12% is African American, and 72% is White. THe majority in Texas is White, and next is Hispanic, let’s not forget Asian Americans are a large pop here too. The fact is Obama thought it was all about BLACK / WHITE and forgot that there are a lot more races/backgrounds in America, ie: the Melting Pot. Hil won, b/c she knew who was a big factor in Texas, and began campaigning for the Hispanic vote, when he was too busy dancing to his 11 state wins. Why do you think George “DUMMY” Bush got into office, the Hispanics here in Texas voted for him, not just white. So try stating facts, before fiction/opinions:)!

We should not twist the idea that Hilary Clinton does not deserve the democratic nomination. The people are speaking. They want to see this race continue, and so do I. I want to see what fight the canidates have, but in a good way. The people of states such as Ohio, are saying that they still have faith in Hilary and unsure about Barack. And that’s fair.

DDDAMN HER!

I find it HILARIOUS that after taking the 3 major states (CA, TX and OH) she is still LOSING in the delegate count. If she is selected as the Democratic nominee, McCain will be our next president….Obama is the only one ahead in the polls….YES WE CAN!

As an African American woman, I hate that this race is falling along racial lines.

Both candidates are democratic. I think Obama’s camp overplayed quotes made by the Clinton’s to take on racial overtones.

I really dislike the fact that Obama gets support simply because he’s an eloquent speaker and walked a safe line politically in his short career. Take away his words and we would have to ask who is he and what has he done.

I think the media has done more for Obama’s campaign than his own strategy. Now that attention has been called to it………let the real race begin.

she still looks like a man…

Well

What concerns me the most about this whole primary is that I think that those that support the Democratic party are not looking at the whole picture of this current situation. Yes Obama has won and had an extremely impressive campaign. Never could I have imagined that he would still be in this race. ( I thought that it was going to be Clinton and Edwards in this race.) The down side of this is that the states that he is winning are not going to be democratic states in Novemeber. So it pretty much makes many of the victories null and void in the grand schemes of things. ( And lets not forget the very likelyhood that they are going to count the votes in Michgan and Florida due to the closeness of the race and not wanting to disfranchise these voters). So fast foward to November and the Electorial College system. We have witnessed in both the 2000 and 2004 elections that the popular vote does not necessarily win the White House. What we are neglecting to realize is that Clinton is leading with votes from both white women, seniors, and Hispanics. Many of who if Obama is the nominee will most likely vote republican. Hispanics have in the past swayed more to the Republican party when voting. I like both of these canidates and will vote for who ever is the Democratic candidate. ( Although as a side note, Obama sort of disappointed me this week with his response to Clinton’s attacks. He seemed to show a weakness which McCain will expose if Obama is the candidate. It to me showed a slight issue of inexperience) I just hope that we make the right decision to capture the White House!!!

hmmm

I’m sick and tired of black women going around talking about “I’m torn between Hillary and Barack”–whom should i vote for, waaah, waaah waaah!! Cut the nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every black woman in this country should not even contemplate—they all need to vote for Barack. Go to Barack’s website and you will find that Obama plans to end the disparities in civil rights and will fight for more employment rights and equal wages for women and minorities, especially minority women. Despite healthcare for all, Hillary Clinton does not mention a plan to help minority women in her agenda. Black women need to get their minds right.

To all black women: Don’t forget your female ancestors were raped by Southern White men on the plantation. I’m not playing the race card, but your ancestors are going to roll over in their graves if you vote/or have voted for Clinton. Over 300 years of slavery, and you’re gonna vote for a white women WHEN A BLACK MAN is running. Get your minds right ,sistas!!!!

Black people who vote for Hillary are sellouts!!!! Period!!!

Latinos are not going to vote for Obama. One of Clinton’s Latino pollsters said as much. This is from the January New Yorker article.

“On the morning after Clinton’s victory, I talked to Sergio Bendixen, one of her pollsters, who specializes in the Hispanic vote. “In all honesty, the Hispanic vote is extremely important to the Clinton campaign, and the polls have shown—and today is not a great day to cite polls—that even though she was slipping with women in Iowa and blacks in South Carolina, she was not slipping with Hispanics,” he said. “The fire wall doesn’t apply now, because she is in good shape, but before last night the Hispanic vote was going to be the most important part of her fire wall on February 5th.” The implications of that strategy are not necessarily uplifting.

When I asked Bendixen about the source of Clinton’s strength in the Hispanic community, he mentioned her support for health care, and Hispanic voters’ affinity for the Clinton era. “It’s one group where going back to the past really works,” he said. “All you need to say in focus groups is ‘Let’s go back to the nineties.’ ” But he was also frank about the fact that the Clintons, long beloved in the black community, are now dependent on a less edifying political dynamic: “The Hispanic voter—and I want to say this very carefully—has not shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates.” ♦

I just have one additional comment to add. I find it completely sad and ignorant that anyone would critcize any African American for voting for Clinton or anyone else. The most important thing is that they are indeed exercising their right to vote. The way one votes should never be based soley on race or gender but where the individuals stands on issues that effect you as a person. These kind of statements makes you no diffrent from the Caucasian individuals that you claim are racist and not voting for Obama becuase he is black. Has anyone ever thought that Clinton won Ohio because she had the most substantive and realistic responses when it came to the issues that affect those in Ohio???? (NAFTA and economy) Also Obama’s issue with this Canadian official and NAFTA did not help matters either. It exposed that he too practices some of those “same old washington politics” that he claims he does not…… double talking.

Mo: I believe you are a brainwashed, Uncle Tom!!! I’m sure you have a subscription to Southern Golf magazine. I find it hard to believe you’re black.

@65 and 66 Free Thinker: Thank you for such an well spoken post. You have taken the words rigth out of my mouth. I wish Black America will wake up! It kills me to see the African American voter on the news say…”Well I am leaning towards Clinton becacause she has more experience…” Its a shame…

@86:Healthy Hair Is Good Hair: Excellent Point Yes you speak the truth!!!!

ITS FUNNY HOW SOME OF U SAY THAT WHITES AND LATINO ARE RACIST FOR BACKING CLINTON STRONGLY…AND WHAT ABOUT THE BLACKS THAT BACK OBAMA STRONGLY ARE THEY RACIST??? ITS NOT FAIR TO SAY THAT ONE GROUP IS RACIST WHEN THE OTHER GROUP DOES THE EXACT SAME THING!!! SO MY QUESTION IS ARE WE ALL RACIST?…

EXPOSURE DOES NOT = EXPERIENCE!

Hillary has exposure NOT experience. Study her unremarkable record, than compare it to Baracks and tell me who’s the more qualified candidate. She doesn’t even come close. Please stop recyling her “experience” line and do some damn research on your candidate and get your facts straight.

Maybe there’s a reason Obama wins more educated voters??? We actually read up on our candidate and have enough sense not to fall for race baiting and fear mongering. I’m sorry for those of you that do!

I live in Texas and campaigned very hard here for Barack. I am highly disappointed that all of the racist showed their true colors yesterday. I have followed this election very closely and just the past Sunday 60 minutes conducted a town hall meeting in Ohio where they openly stated that Southern Ohio residents would never vote a black man into office. Likewise, a very prominent Hispanic leader spoke out to a local Texas news station and stated that the Hispanic community would never vote for a black man…Of course when Hillary was informed of this, she immediately denounced and rejected the lady…

My point is, many African Americans are stating that they are not voting for a candidate based solely on their color. What what do you think Texas and Ohio based on? Color..If we truly want to see Barack in office then we need to stick together and show our support for him. George Bush had some experience but look at how he screwed up the country. Barack can’t be any worse than him. So, why not give him the opportunity.

BTW…he’s still in the lead, so if she wants fight, BRING IT ON!

#23,

Oh you did?!?! Sure they know everything. Shut the hell up

All OBAMA supporters we unite as one. That voting caucus in Texas was hugely flawed. They made people come back, stand in unorganized lines for over 2 hours and then made folks sign clipboards saying they were obama supporters.

I don’t care what anyone says….Bottom line, Obama is whopping Hillary’s behind and she used some dirty politics to come on top in Texas and Ohio. The government and politics don;t give a damn about OUR vote. The republicans had something to do with it to cause they know damn well old fart John McCain don’t want to go against OBAMA cause he knows his a*s will lose, and Hillary will be easier to beat.

They saw they OBAMA is taking America by storm and has millions upon billions of supporters and they wanted to stop that. Eitherway, Hillary won’t win. OBAMA has more delegates and he will be the DEMOCRATIC presidential nominee come november. OBAMA we still support you my brother and you are what this country needs ASAP!!

Oh, and whoever said that it funny how all of a sudden hillary won 3 states after losing 11 in a row. I concur with you.

She is desperate and fixed something somewhere. Don’t know how, but I also find it funny she wins 3 of the big 4 all of a sudden after getting her face hander to her by OBAMA. He will prevail over his phony chick.

Go OBAMA, you have support across AMERICA!!

And one more thing, Mr. J. Dakar, “PLEASE” explain the whole reason why the republicans get less DELEGATES than Democrats. I would really like to know the reason to that.

As I somewhat understand, it has always been like this? Which is straight BS in my opinion. it should be the same damn delegates for BOTH parties. Just like the republicans to find someway to screw America even more.

no one said anything much about obama winning the texas caucus which gives him more delegates. why is that? why hate on a man who is trying to run a campaign with integrity?

hillary is just proving to the world what most men think of women anyway…..a bitch

This is getting out of hand and the Devil surely is working. Obama should be the Democratic nominee for Fall ‘08 and I don’t care what anybody says!!!

I voted for Obama yesterday and I WILL NOT GIVE UP FOR NOTHING!
Obama Obama Obama!!!
=)

i agree at #100.

MyObama4Prez!
Don’t you have to change your party’s affiliation in order to vote for a candidate? If you’re a Republican, if you want to vote for a Democrat you have to re-register your voting form as a Democrat.

Being supportive of our candidates of choice is a great thing. We just need to remember to keep the dialog open to all candidates in case ours doesn’t win. We don’t want to get completely shut out like the Republicans do the Black people on a whole. Having said that, I will not be voting for Hillary Clinton no matter what. I know trying to win an election makes people do the most hateful things, but I expect MORE. She knows that she would have lost if she had fought a campaign strictly on the issues so she had to lie, cheat, vote-tamper and all of the above and more we probably don’t know about to secure support and votes. I have a huge problem with her lack of ethics. And I can’t believe she’d even bring up dirt on someone else when her and Bill are in the midst of a campaign finance fraud case being heard in CA right now. Obama needs to be more assertive and be on the offense. besides that he has run an amazing campaign. Seriously. No one expected him to last this long and still be ahead in the pledged delegate count. In case you didn’t realize he did distribute info to the media on Tuesday morning outlining that he thought he’d win VT for sure and come in close in the other states. Considering he was 20 points + behind in the polls to come in between 4-11 points is amazing. If the tampering hadn’t occurred he’d probably be closer and may have in fact won NH, NM and NV. People should be calling their representatives and the DNC and lodge their concerns/complaints to make sure we the voters don’t get swift-boated this time around!

oh, she says YES WE WILL…
i think she wont .
i say YES WE CAN! Obama 08′!!

@ #86…..I’m an educated african-american female and i’m voting Hillary Clinton……so i guess that makes me a sell-out to my race? You people are absolutely ridiculous here! You have the nerve to call someone a sell-out to their race because they’re not voting like you think they should? Get the fuck outta here…..dumb ignorant shit like that pisses me off!

This process has nothing to do with slavery, plantations, white men raping ancestors on the plantation, picking cotton, etc…….Your post was just so ignorant and irrelevant to no point!

If someone white said some trash like this….we would be quick to call them a racist piece of shyt! It goes both ways! Call me a damn sell-out all you want…….I’m voting HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON for president. NEXT………….

……………@ 70. Your post really bothered me. I don’t know if you’re serious in your
reference to the Lord or just using the expression, but I for one have been
praying everyday for guidance about who to vote for. Both are qualified,
are intelligent, both are leaders. But consistently I have been disturbed by
Hilary’s demeanor. Yes, she is strong— but she is also impersonable. At a
time when America is the bain of most of the international community, her
cold, calculating and sometimes downright catty behavior is offputting to
say the least. She is an amazing woman — but she has a LOT to learn
about being gracious— even in defeat. To assume that people are raking
her over the coals b/c Barack is black just seems like a futile attempt to
discredit anyone who disagrees with you. Could the reason possibly be that
people find something lacking in YOUR candidate? The Clintons were are
best hope in the 90s….does that mean they should be our only hope now? I
have decided “No”!

Barack Obama would handily beat John McCain in a head-to-head match-up, according to a compilation of poll results, while Hillary Rodham Clinton would lose to the likely GOP nominee.

Obama would collect 252 Electoral College votes to McCain’s 216 if the general election were held today, according to the analysis based on recent polls.

Obama leads McCain in 20 states, many of them large enough to offset McCain victories in states with smaller populations.

Five states are too close to call, according to current polls, and McCain would have to win all of them to overtake Obama.

To win, a candidate needs 270 Electoral College votes.

Against Clinton, McCain would go on a 39-state romp and hold 282 Electoral College votes to Clinton’s 172. Six states are too close to call in that match-up.

Even if she managed to win all of those close states, she could not make up her 110-vote deficit.

At least two of those toss-ups are in crucial components of the Democratic base: Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Both Democrats lead in New York and New Jersey. Connecticut is projected for the Democrats based on the 2004 results.

In terms of the popular vote, McCain holds a 6-point edge over Clinton in a nationwide poll conducted by the Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg News.

That same poll found McCain with a smaller edge against Obama, while other polls show Obama with a significant lead.

I only have one question! Where in the hell is John Edwards in all of this? That’s who needs to come out and make a decision on who He’ll be supporting! I think if he came out in support of senator Obama it would help his campaign in the future primaries. Why has he waited so long to voice his support!?? And I tell you one thing, if those superdelagates pick clinton, I’M VOTING FOR MCAIN!!

OBAMA WE LOVE YOU!!

THIS IS TRULY BECOMING POWERFUL..!! BARACK OBAMA IS STILL IN THE LEAD ….THIS IS THE REAL TEST RIGHT HERE HIL BILLY IS PLAYING SO SO DIRTY YET SHE HASNT EVEN MADE IT TO THE TOP LMAO @ HER …!! THIS IS TRULY A REMARKABLE TIME….
BUt im starting to worry for him the true whites are coming out people are making sights calling him the ANTI CHRIST and trying to find ways to get rid off him im so nervous right now..YET UPSET people.. this is crazy we (BLACKS) cant win for nothing .. man we finally got a legit man and here they go but i knew it wouldn’t take long….. PLEASE OBAMA TROW THE SINK BACK AT HER !!! PLEASE !!! lets take this nomination home !!

YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! Just when you think it’s over… ::relief::

#89; Healthy hair is good hair?? or whatever your name is. Let me first say that I am a African American female (VERY BLACK) who is also highly educated with three degrees. If you read my statement you would have noticed that I did not take either side. I stated how I felt about the situation. I am going to make this nice and sweet because you my dear possess the same ignorance that I talked about and are frankly not worth my energy to discuss with any futher. If you want to have an intellectual conversation (if you are capable) I welcome it. BE Blessed!!

I just wanted to remind everyone that the most important thing to learn from this election is to vote. Alot of people are raising our history as African Americans as a reason to vote for a specific candidate. The truth of the matter is that those that fought for our rights in the past just wanted us to be afforded a right to have a voice.So whomever you vote for the act of voting is whats important.

[...] Hillary Clinton is enjoying her wins from Tuesday, not to mention to financial gains they have given [...]

I am glad I came across your blog.
