Continuing to rant so viciously against Obama with baseless smears when he is now the clear favourite doesn't really help the cause at this point. <BR/><BR/>I don't know where you are getting this "Clinton has inside info on who will vote for Obama" though. Many of her own supporters now feel she faces extremely long odds, Senator Diana Feinstein of California (a very close ally) being another today who has expresssed this view. As I said though I think she should stay in if she stays positive and focused on the Republicans now.<BR/><BR/>You claim some people will vote against Obama just because of his race, well I don't think the Democratic Party should want any such racist voters and I think their number in the party ranks is quite small. As well, Obama won overwhelmingly in some very Republican states where racism remains a big problem. Racist voters won't make the difference in the general election and I'm pretty sure they vote overwhelmingly Republican as it is. It's extremely sad such racism still exists in the USA but it's also quite sad to say that because of it the Democrats should be weary of who they nominate. That's a pretty appalling viewpoint and a groundless one at that.<BR/><BR/>You say Obama's coalition is like Dukakis and I have heard this before, but the reality is he has a broader base of support with more Conservative Democrats like Bob Casey backing him and centrist ones like Bill Richardson. Obama would expand his coalition with his VP choice as well I'm sure (if Clinton is put on the ticket I think she would easily pull in most of her supporters).<BR/><BR/>Anyways I think it's past time for the Democrats to start focusing on John McCain and winning in November. The race thus far has been good for the party but it needs to come together. Clinton can certainly continue but it's time for the two candidates to stop tearing each other down.Danielle Takacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298674716918123751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430921123281506833.post-39750727954561288912008-05-07T23:48:00.000-04:002008-05-07T23:48:00.000-04:00Stop running negative ads directed at Obama....ur ...Stop running negative ads directed at Obama....ur wrong there, negative adds are important because they are mild compared to what the republican will run, and will help understand this windbags faults before the october surprise...<BR/>Continue to push for a fair solution to have Michigan and Florida's delegates counted... your right on that one, because if they dont count them as the obama camp are pushing for, there is a garanty that they will go to the republicans, they will use it against him...<BR/>Focus her message now primarily on why John McCain needs to be defeated in November and why Democrats need to be united.. your wrong on this one, because, obama has to be exposed if you will, now, before the last week of the election...<BR/>Here is the reality, the clinton camp knows what u dont, they have inside polls, they know who would vote for him and who would not, him been black is one of them, even if they cant say it, since everytime they come up with this type of reality, the obama side cries racism, big surprise there...<BR/>the thing that is missing in your blog, is what I will concentrate on mine soon, obama has the same exact coalition, mgovern, dukakis and mondale had, all of which, where and had there own movement. And now that mgovern has switch sides to obama, it puts him in the left liberal wing of the democratic party, and in america, not a good idea, so in finish you cant look at this from a canadian perspective, but from an american one, and thats whats missing in your blog...<BR/>if you want to know more about obama and what the right have to go on here is a site for you to really understand this bag of wind...<BR/>http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23643866-5013948,00.htmlRed Tory exposedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10644756327862533016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430921123281506833.post-62284240796054488492008-05-07T21:10:00.000-04:002008-05-07T21:10:00.000-04:00If I was Clinton, and I was feeling altruistic, I'...If I was Clinton, and I was feeling altruistic, I'd stay in the campaign, but focus the rest of it against McCain, giving the Democrats a 2-for-1 campaign deal as we proceed through the rest of the primary season. Then, after Puerto Rico, pull out and endorse Obama.<BR/><BR/>The big advantage here is that it allows the remaining states to be energized. I'm sure these states are eager to participate in a primary election that matters, for a change.James Bowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888307747088266395noreply@blogger.com
