I watche some of Hillary's speech and she looked like she was passing a kidney stone when she endorsed Obama. She is saying the words but she will never put a lot of energy into supporting Obama.

There is a lot of time between now and the Democrat's convention and you can bet your bottom dollar she will do whatever she can to make the party dump him and default to her.

Black men who are 100% black lose elections all the time in Africa. Is that racist too?

Humble pie doesn't go well with crackers :-)

Clinton ran one of most poorly managed campaigns for president this year, that only became somewhat better when she was hopelessly behind in delegates. She was very likely to win both the Democratic nomination as well as the presidency, but made way too many critical campaign mistakes due to her poor management skills and inability to delegate responsibility to effective managers.

1. Clinton only won 1 of 18 caucus elections. Her campaign completely failed to organize efforts well enough to win any caucus except for the small Nevada event.

2. Clinton spent too much money early on, often wastefully, and had little cash left to continue after Super Tuesday. Clinton went on to lose 11 primary or caucus events to Obama, and also the nomination as she planned a terrible Pennsylvania "firewall" effort that was too late to reverse the outcome.

3. Obama is a political phenomenon, the greatest from Illinois since Abraham Lincoln. He has proven far more capable at both raising funds and delegating responsibility to excellent quality managers. Clinton is a well known factor, with some serious voter fatigue issues over the many years of ongoing ethics problems with the Clintons, and the fact that other things that Clinton managed such as a law office, ended up in the Whitewater scandal, the White House Travel Office, in scandal, and she could not manage the Clinton national health plan to success either. Unlike, Obama, Clinton simply has a poor record of management of anything she is charge of and cannot seem to bring it to success. Clinton is a poor manager, although she certainly is highly intelligent.

Obama has proven himself to be an excellent manager or at least someone who delegates responsibility to the right persons to see things through to success. This is why he is most likely to also win in November and to manage a White House that effectively deals with issues in constructive ways that show real results. This is one of his biggest advantages over rival John McCain, whose campaign has so far been cash-starved as well as not too well managed. McCain was only able to upend his GOP primary opponents like Romney, Giuliani and Huckabee mostly because they liked these other guys far less for various reasons. But head-to-head with the far better run Obama campaign machine, the McCain campaign likely will come up short. The better campaign, not candidate, will likely decide the election.

The Belmont may have a lesson. Big Brown finished last...

As a life long Republican I am strangely ambivalent on which Democrat wins: Obama or McCain. At least with Obama the blame for the economic disaster that will unfold in the next 5 years will be firmly at the feet of the Democrats.

Paul dream on. Obama is still a extreme liberal with no experience and all the organization in the world is going to hide that fact. He is McGovern pat deux.

Michael, you are talking about democrats here. Hussein O has and will collect billions if needed from the terrorist in the middle east. Money is all that matters to a democrat. I've yet to hear one bitch about the war and deaths in Iraq that didn't add, and it cost too much. Never mind that the military budget during Slicks administration was much higher than it is now. During the 90's billions went to downgrading the military or down a deep rat hole called a democrats pocket. At least the military is now using their funding to equip and train the military to protect Americans. It's pitiful to watch someone complain about 4,000 military deaths and then support the murder of 289,750 babies in 2006 alone. That is the mindset of a democrat. I will never again be one.

You were a Democrat, Scrapiron? Well, I guess George Wallace was too...

Hmmph. Hyperbolist ought to change his moniker to hypervapid.

Hang on Resco, Your pardon's on the way.

No, eqador, Hyperbolist is not vapid, he's just another cheap name caller. Everyone who disagrees with him is a racist.

To quote Glenn Reynolds: "I can think of no better reason to vote against Obama than the prospect of an administration where any criticism of the President is treated as racism."

Hyperbolist just shows how right Reynolds is.

If I were Obama, Hillary offering support would frighten hell out of me.
Going to repeat this, it's easier now the choice is narrowed, but McCain will receive my vote. His Presidency will do the least lasting damage to my country during his term.
The alternative is too horrifying to comtemplate.

hyperbolist - "You were a Democrat, Scrapiron? Well, I guess George Wallace was too..."

Sen. Byrd slip your mind, or was it intentional?

Hat tip to Glenn Reynolds over at Instapundit.

Well stated.

Apologies to poster # 12.

I missed it when scanning a bit too fast and a lack of coffee this early.

Paul, you are like soooo wrong. I am not even close to be a Clinton fan, but I would have to say, without a doubt, the MSM not only gave Obama a pass, but some were openly endorcing him. She not only had to campaign against Obama, but the press. He has been in the race for some time now and we still do not know his position on anything. This is your guy? I thought you were smarter then that? ww

You are exactly right...the media will do everything in its power to intimidate voters into selecting Obama, making it quite clear that anyone who choses to not support him does so purely because of racism. This will be the most shameless and hypocritical media campaign ever waged against the American people. Most important will have to be the willingness of conservatives to make certain that these facts do not go unreported. More than ever before, the media must be exposed 24/7 for its activities, agenda and breathless willingness to ignore anything resembling fairness, truth, facts or honor

Hillary didn't actually concede. I don't know what the point of that move is,

With politics, it can always be traced back to money and/or power. If she concedes her candidacy, she cannot legally continue to raise funds. And we all know that she needs to raise funds and, of course, doing it legally is so very important to her.

Clinton ran one of most poorly managed campaigns for president this year,

Been hearing the "Clinton was a lousy candidate" line alot the last couple of days. What is it about Democrats and eating their young? I think most of them rather enjoyed Fpleger's remarks about her.

You were a Democrat, Scrapiron? Well, I guess George Wallace was too...

I guess life is full of surprises, huh? You probably never thought you'd turn into an intellectual poser, now did you?

You probably never thought you'd turn into an intellectual poser,

That was terribly harsh and I do earnestly apologize. I really do not believe that you are a poseur. I believe that you have done a reasonable amount of study in modern philosophy. I'm obviously projecting what I see as my own inadequacies onto you. I built a life around the teachings of Kant, Hume, and Hegel, although I never fully understood them. Many years ago, I embarked on a study of Aristotle and, later, Thomas Aquinas that shattered everything that I thought I ever knew (or didn't know, as Descartes would put it). After reading Aristotle I finally understood Kant, and realized that he had made significant errors. I'm frustrated that the intellectuals of today have done what Kant, Hegel, or Descartes would have never dreamed of doing - they've dismissed two of the most beautiful minds of clarity that were ever created: Aristotle and Aquinas. And I took that frustration out on you and it was uncalled for.I'm extremely sorry. Please forgive me.

And just a bit of unsolicited advice: Be patient with us as we are all learning. Chances are we'll be patient with you in turn. The Golden Rule in reverse, I know, but probably the best I can offer right now.
