Obama cannot and will not win the general election. If he can’t win Ohio or Florida, the dems better think twice about making him the nominee. He can’t win big states and what was clearly shocking is that he couldn’t even carry Texas with a huge republican cross-over vote that was directed and orchastated against Clinton. I read that as much as 10% of those voting in the democratic Texas primary were rebublicans and almost all of them voted for Obama. I also read that many of the right wing radio pundits were sending republicans to vote against Clinton. Instructional flyers were even sent out to them. Copies of them were all over on the blogs. These same voters will not be there for Obama in the fall, as loser John Karry suggests, and Clinton beat him in Texas anyway. He is clearly the weaker candidate for the general election.

The only reasons he’s ahead at all is because, Florida and Michigan have been disefranchised, the republicans have supported him with money and votes in an effort to knock Clinton out, and the nagative and misogynistic media coverage of Clinton has been overwhelming. Not to mention that the media has had a love affaire with Obama and refuses to vet him in any fashion. Clinton has been running against the republicans, the media and against Obama at the same time, and he still can’t knock her out, even with twice as much money.

Apperently, she’s a street fighter who won’t give up. This is what we need in November!!!!! Like Kelly Pavlick, who got up off the mat bloody faced and all, and moved forward to knock Jermaine Taylor out in the 7th round, Clinton sorjourns on toward victory with the true grit and heart of a champian. Without a doubt, she is the fighter we need to send to the general election in November!!!!!

Hillary, winning in Blue States, is a sign of victory for Democratic party. I pray that the delegates/superdelegates will use their minds and brains rather than selling their votes for Obama. That’s not democracy. I trust these delegates will use their utmost judgments for the sake of this country and the Americans.

Pamela Leavey,

Hi! My name is Pamela also.

What do you believe the Superdelegates will do? Do you believe they see what we see……Obama no really electable.

So far they have been ignoring the electability issue and heading towards Obama.

Good job Hillary!

I to am thrilled that Hillary Clinton is still in the race. My plan is to give her the chance she deserves. I really believe she can help the lower to middle class people in the world and start charging big companys to pay more taxes. ( like Exxon )

Congrats to Hillary and all of her supporters! Well done! This says so much about electability. Obama just doesn’t have it . He can not out shine Hillary in the states that matter …. and he will surely not fair well against McCain!

SuperDelegates will have to support Hillary when all is said and done.

Way to go Hillary!!! By winning Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island Hillary proved that she has what it takes to win! Ohio is a must win swing state, just like Florida, and Hillary won both of them! She is the one that can win come November and the one that is best suited to lead our nation!

I was not at all certain she would pull it off – I had an inkling, but this race has been so unpredictable.

I haven’t had a chance to post more yet today but Hillary is back up in the national polls with a lead over Obama. I think this is in a long run a good thing.

4 years ago Super Tuesday was in early March. It was until Super Tuesday that we truly saw that JK would be the nominee. The primary system is front loaded. We had a lot of crying from folks 4 years that people didn’t get a chance to vote for their candidate once Kerry took the lead and it looked as though it was a done deal. And now here we are again with an even more front loaded season and the Obama camp wants this to be a done deal for him. Well it’s not. It’s no where close to a done deal like it was for JK.

There’s a lot of questions Obama should be answering and clearly Clinton’s support base is out there. This needs to play out at this point. I still think McCain will be tough to beat and Hillary has a better chance of doing that.

Back to work…

Pamela: I, of course, believed that there was no chance of this outcome. You, of course, saw the matter clearly.

Where, do you mind my asking, do you see things going from here?

Thanks for opening this article with the exact quote I was going to reach for this morning. You talk about hope? That quote says it all for any one of us who has faced hard times.

We need a president you can fight their way back no matter the situation.

Well Done.

Clinton has also won some solid blue states like MA, CA and NY. And NH of course turned blue with Kerry in ‘04.

It appears that Obama’s cut into Clinton’s base failed him tonight.

Clinton is trying to spin this as she wins swing states of the Bush era OH, FL, MI. Obama has to make the case that he can win states that are turning blue. Obama seems to be a bit ahead of his time as the new Democratic majority emerges.

As for FL and MI, Howard Dean needs to stage a contest. It will be good for party building.
