a little prayer for strength:
O Source of Mercy, give us the grace to show forbearance to those who offend against us.
When the wrongs and injustices of others wound us, may our hearts not despair of human good.
May no trial, however severe, embitter our souls and destroy our trust.
When beset by trouble and sorrow, our mothers and fathers put on the armour of faith and fortitude.
May we too find strength to meet adversity with quiet courage and unshaken will.
Amen

My Challenge to You | Report to Admin

By Opsimath44 Apr 22nd 2008 at 11:11 pm EDT

My Challenge to All of You:

Hillary is crushing us in the over-60 vote. And I hate to say this, because I have many relatives in that category ( and some day I hope to make it there myself), but the numbers don't lie: many over-60 voters largely vote on fear, prejudice, and narrow-mindedness.

As Andrew Sullivan put it:
Link

But what is striking in the exit polls is the polarization on three lines: gender, race and age. It was dead even with men; but a massive advantage for Clinton among women. The racial difference is obvious as well. But what really leaps out is age. Obama lost every cohort over 40; Clinton lost every cohort under 40. Race also affects the generations in turn: 67 percent of whites over 60 voted for Clinton - a massive 24 point advantage. Among the younger generation, there is much less racial polarization: under 30, whites split evenly. This is a fascinating result. It appears to me as the future struggling to overcome the past.

So what is my challenge?

Everyone in Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Oregon, Kentucky, South Dakota, Guam and Puerto Rico needs to find one, just one undecided voter, someone you know, and bring them around.

Everyone. No one gets off here. Everyone, just find one more voter.

Doesn't have to happen today, or even this week. But before your primary.

All of us are better than any one of us. Take that to heart. We need numbers, is the bottom line.

God Bless America. Let's save some of it, okay?

I was going to send another $25 check, but I read your email and made it out for $50 instead.

We'll all work to make this one of the last nights she tries to spin her destructive egomania into some kind of "win" for the party.

The ground teams in PA deserve major kudos for depriving her of her double digit predicted leads.

In Indiana, we're not starting with a 20 point disadvantage.

Two losses in a row will end this.

Re: Sorry to hijack the thread | Report to Admin

By Irene from Westport Point, MA Apr 22nd 2008 at 11:34 pm EDT

I don't think she can. It's about the money. Here's why:

1. She's raised less every month. She had to loan herself money in February and she just went red in March in order to win a state that she never should have had to fight so hard for. She's not just broke, she's in a hole. Broke is on flat ground. She's raised very little in April, according to her own funders who leaked so much in the NYT this weekend, possibly to try to blunt the damage from the quarterlies. What that told me is she couldn't raise enough in April to do more than dig deeper.

In March, in order to win Ohio and not lose totally in Texas, she went negative and declared McCain her ideal running mate. That cost her BIG. In fact, that cost her Richardson and Casey. (Who is in my prayers now...). And, as we now know, her money dried up.

Now, to not totally fail in PA,which she started with a 20 point lead on, she went further negative on Barack, and made a joke of herself, both in the US and overseas, with her pandering on guns and elitism and her policy eruptions that we'll get out of Iraq, but also stay in the middle east as an "umbrella" and we'll nuke Iran. Gees...BUSH didn't even ever say that!!

Forget for a moment how the press loves a fight, forget that she will clearly do anything to win. The truth is the same today as it was yesterday. She can't win unless the super D's take it from Barack, who is winning on all fronts.

After her performance in PA, that's less likely, anywhere outside of PA. She's radioactive for the party with her negatives and her clear policy contradictions. She doesn't add to our base like Barack does. She may get a few super's from PA, but Barack will get more. Then her money will dry up after NC and IN. We just have to make sure he wins in IN. He's already ahead there. And, he's not in the hole money wise, and if he avoids the bait his positives will rebound. The republicans fear him because he is so much more electable than anyone else.

He might consider letting rumors float that he's got a few women in mind for the VEEP slot...

This family is sooooo beautiful. Well, PA is "no surprises". Unfortunately, I guessed the result long ago, and even posted it on my Obama blog. I had figured 8 to 10 points. BUT THAT'S GOOD NEWS! Despite the media and Hillary raving like we all knew they would, we also know Barack will erase her gain in NC, and probably eek out a win in IN. I just hope I don't have to hear one of the most dreaded painful phrases to my ears, namely "comeback kid". That phrase just makes me want to wretch. Anyhow, back to the good stuff. We're right on track to win this election. We may not have pulled off magic, but we did well. Pleasant dreams family.

Please don't get discouraged!! Your donations and sacrifice is appreciated and will not be in vain. remember the widow who was able to drop 2 small coins to the temple treasury in the book of Mark 12:41, 42

"...many rich people were dropping in many coins. Now a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins, which have very little value. So he (Jesus) called his disciples to him and said to them: “Truly I say to YOU that this poor widow dropped in more than all those dropping money into the treasury chests; for they all dropped in out of their surplus, but she, out of her want, dropped in all of what she had, her whole living.

Please keep up faith and I do hope that things turn up for you soon:-)

Actually in pretty good spirits tonight. A month ago she was what 20 plus points ahead and even in that scenario, it was mathematically impossible to win, now in what was supposed to be her best state, she squeaked out a win. A win is a win right? Wrong, she lost the race tonight. Other than destroying the party and making the 2000 stolen election argument null and void, Obama won the race tonight. No matter what low road she takes, the numbers game goes down from here.

Only thing I could compare this to.... if Bush really found some sort of a win in Iraq, it'd mean we'd lose the war on terrorism. Because America can't afford another war. Same here, Hillary is fiscally irresponsible. I was reading Obama was spending 75 cents for every dollar made. Hillary was spending $1.10 for every dollar made. Hey Bush part two. Borrow and spend. Lovely. She can't afford to keep borrowing from her big donors. When she knocks his high spending, she's really knocking us for being such a loyal bunch of supporters. He's got the money to spend because he has more supporters.

I guess she had home court advantage, but being loyal to the Clintons doesn't mean things are going to be better than the 90s, or they are leaving special interests, or that republicans wont take the White House back, or knowing the ins and outs of campaigning means you're the best candidate.

By Terry From Butte, America Apr 22nd 2008 at 9:59 pm EDT

Moving the Goal Posts

We all have a set of rules that we live by, whether it is our government, organizations, your job, your community, and sports.

We have seen a certain group of people moving the goal post for political gains.
They tell us one thing but do another.
They tell us the rules do not apply to them to justify breaking them.
The define progress and winning on perceptions and obsure points of view instead of looking at the big picture.
If you tell them they are losing, they will scream louder they are winning.
Then they will base their evidence, not on the rules, but a perception of twisted words.
With their yells and screams they will drown out the truth.
They think public opinion is more important than truth.
They listen to only the few people that surround them and agree with their point of view.
Winning to these people is where they can persuade the public the goal posts actually lie.

After reading this, I am sure you guessed that I was talking about George Bush and the Iraq war.

This just might apply to others and other situations. Personally, I think people are tired of this type of politics and this mindset of thinking.

It's called the MEDIA. They want this to continue.
One would think that they don't have families they are worried about. Maybe those in the media don't really think the REAL ISSUES HAVE AN IMPACT ON THEIR LIVES.
I mean at this point they have health care don't they? They can afford gas & food and not think about it. Their kids aren't going to crumbling schools and they have all the necessites. They don't think global warming will effect their children.
So on it continues. The goal posts moves.

OVER ONE AND A HALF MILLION MILES DONATED!!! | Report to Admin

By Michele from Huntington Beach, CA Apr 22nd 2008 at 9:38 pm EDT

Thanks to the generosity of many who donated their valuable frequent flyer miles, we sent 29 out-of-state volunteers to Texas and Ohio, and another 32 to Pennsylvania.

This means ***1,525,000 MILES*** have been donated to date – putting ***61 VOLUNTEERS*** on the ground, helping bring it home for Barack.

DONORS: It takes 25,000 miles for a ticket. So – who’s got at least 25,000 on the same airline which they’d like to donate toward making sure Barack Obama is our next President?

Step right up — I’m getting requests almost daily from volunteers who want to help but can’t afford the airfare. Donate now, please, so we can get these people where they’re most needed. *** WE NEED MORE MILES! ***

VOLUNTEERS: If you want to spend a week or more in IN or NC, but can’t afford to pay your own way, contact me and I’ll try to match you with an airline ticket.

Please call me at 714-536-6104 California time. (Don’t reply on the blogs; I probably won’t see your response.)

What's amazing to me, Sorry----If Hillary was capable of managing her finances properly, she would have been spending the amount that Senator Obama spent as well. Hillary mismanaged finances starting in Iowa. This economy cannot afford such leadership. So NOW you're trying to spin her mishaps? Excuses won't help the American people. The economy will remain in "deficit" like her campaign.

You're simply upset because monies were available for introduction of your opponent. Of course you'd prefer that no one heard your opponent's platform. Well, Sorry, return to your corner and report-----NOT THIS TIME.

Or are they voting in a show of sisterhood since obama is going to be the nominee anyway they can show sisterhood by giving a vote for Hilary.

This is it. We didn't win tonight but we know we HAVE to keep giving. Let's give and give big. We kept it close, they heard our voice. Let's let them hear our voice again with out donations.

We have 16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5 -4-3-2=1 day to give to Pennsylvania. This campaign has thus far raised about twice as much as The Other campaign. But we’ve got to keep going, we must finish this thing off. There are many ways to support this campaign, one way is to give. The list totals $11,703-$11,653-$11,613-$11,30 7-$11,107-$10,897-$10,852-$10, 847-$10,745-$10,720-$10,710 right now. I challenge this blog and this camping to knock off these 10-9-8 names by the Pennsylvania primary.

If you have never given before, be one of the new donors to help us reach the 1,500,000 to give to the campaign so far. Are you sitting on the sideline or are you in the fight?

The Top Ten List:
1. Mama For Obama has been sitting up here for a while. Can anyone give the max donation of $2300? She made her page on Jan 17 in honor of Future First Lady Michelle Obama's birthday, the “#1 mama”. $4491-$4476-$4471-$4461-$4351- $4326-$4276-$4256-$4241-$4191- $4166-$4141-$4116-$4106-$4096- $4071-$4046-$3996-$3971-$3951- $3926-$3876-$3861-$3836-$3586- $3576-$3481-$3456-$3431-$3421- $3396-$3346-$3261-$3036-$3000- $2990-$2980-$2950-$2905-$2900- $2890

A War of Attrition | Report to Admin

By Rob from Arlington, VA Apr 22nd 2008 at 9:43 pm EDT

This is what needs to be said.

Hillary is a very strong opponent. She has been a major figure on the scene for a long time. She has a great deal of baggage. But she also has a great deal of strong support. She has alienated many people. But she also has earned the strong loyalty of many people. You are not going to knock out a candidate like Hillary Clinton just like that. It's going to be a war of attrition.

It IS a war of attrition. That is now absolutely clear. And you know what - we are WINNING that war of attrition. We are not going to win every battle against an opponent as formidable as Hillary Clinton. But we ARE winning the war.

This idea that Barack is "weak" among certain constituencies is false. The simple truth is that Hillary is extremely strong among certain constituencies. They DO prefer Hillary - but there is no evidence that they will not vote for Barack when he is running against McCain.

She is qualified. The problem is that she has demonstrated very poor judgment.

However, she has built a huge base of support over very many years. That's why this is a war of attrition. We will win - but only through tenacity.

We are too numerous, too determined, too enthusiastic, and too inspired to be denied. It will be a very hard battle, but we will prevail in the end!

When I speak of HRC's experience, she who has held one elected office and who presumes her husband's experience as prez gives her qualification beyond someone (OB) who is not vastly experienced in public office, but has at least held more offices than she has, I am considering the truth not the brand. Her "experience" has not been demonstrated in the running of her campaign versus this one. SEE MONEY and GRASS ROOTS SUPPORT.

As Tracy Morgan so astutely put it, by HRC's logic, "Robin Givens [former spouse to Mike Tyson] would be the heavy weight champion of the world."

She has a formidable machine behind her, and I, for one, who never voted for her husband refuse to succumb to the hype of Hillary. As, ultimately, one significant ingredient to experience is judgement. And I believe that HRC lacks it.

Also, I think the winner speaks last. He should hold off giving an address until just before 11PM, by then most people will have hit the sack and her speech will only be seen by most people in soundbites.

He should run as an independent | Report to Admin

By CV Apr 22nd 2008 at 9:47 pm EDT

this is no longer a race to be the nominee for the party, but a fork in the road for what kind of party it is, one dominated by the entrenched politicians with deep ties to economic elites and corporations or one dominated by the majority of voters that don't have outsized influence through traditional means of large donations or control of corporations. The fundraising dynamic between Hillary and Barack is the illustration of this reality.

I think the democratic party elites that have given extra extra innings to Hillary clearly demonstrates it is not a party ready for change and not worthy of default support.

Barack should consider running as independent in the general election, he will continue to raise more than enough funds to be the most viable candidate and will be a clear choice between the politics of fear by McCain/Hillary versus Hope / Change of Obama. He should, after getting the majority of the elected delegates in the democratic primary, declare himself an independent run in the general election. He is already fight a two front war and can continue to do so and win the general election.

I just felt led to write this to all of you.

I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of Barack and how hard he fought in PA. If you remember, Clinton should have wiped the floor with him based on what we heard weeks before. The fact that he's keeping it this close is a great accomplishment. It means that Clinton has lost support over the past couple of weeks.

The media will spin it however they want for ratings; that's something that should not be surprising to us. But they can't change the numbers. They can't change the fact that Obama has more delegates, more states won, and more of the popular vote. As badly as they want to keep this going, pretty soon it will end. We're not stupid; we see the numbers, we get other information. We're a very smart people.

So I would say go to bed knowing that the awesome guy you're supporting did a great job, and that he did it with such integrity. He has a lot more patience then I do in terms of extending grace to Clinton; he has so many things that he could hammer her on, but he chooses not too out of integrity. I would much rather have a candidate with integrity who I believe cares about me than a candidate who would do anything just to get my vote.

No one can deny the fact that he's moving so many people in this country. No one can take away the big rallies he has won. And I'll add one more thing to brighten your spirits:

No one can deny the fact that Clinton will get pwned in NC in a few weeks. We'll be smiling soon enough :-) God bless you all.

Sen. McAskill was just on MSNBC answering Chris Matthews on why BO didn't go with a more aggressive meat-and-potatoes message. And she replied that it's much more important that BO be authentic and have a consistent message as opposed to changing to win elections.

I love, love, love that response, and even with tonight's mixed feelings, I'm so proud of our support and our surrogates!

Re: McAskill | Report to Admin

By D, M. from Arlington, TX Apr 22nd 2008 at 11:22 pm EDT

I am grateful to Senator McCaskill and all who support Obama,but after watching this defeat in Pennsylvania all I know is Obama has to get tougher. YOU DONT BRING A KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT! Obama is in a fight with cut throat, power hungry, gutter, gangster style politicains in the Clintons... and though I appreciate his gentlemanlike approach, as Hillary used to say... let's get real.

I am an Obama supporter, but I really hope someone high up in the campaign will see this message. While I always want Obama to be respectful, Obama has to find the delicate balance of respectful but tough. It reminds me of the timidity I saw from the democrats while Bush and Cheney were racheting up the Iraq war. If dems had spoken out, and stood their ground we might never have gone into Iraq and Bush would never have won a second term. But democrats were afraid to be tough. When you have truth on your side you shouldnt be afraid to be tough. Clinton with her Bosnia story told voters a bold faced lie, yet voters in PA prefered her. That speaks volumes to me, and Obama has to work harder to stay focused ON THE FACTS AND he has to be more careful with what he says each time he opens his mouth. Loose lips sink ships. Obama is much to smart to be caught giving amunition to Clinton and replicans over remarks like the BITTER remark. People of color have always known that they have to be twice as good and have to work twice as hard. For Obama not to recognize that (and I'm sure he does) is naive. I have gone to 2 of his rallies, I shook his hand, have donated to his campaign and will continue to do so, but this politics of timidiy, and the loose lips have to go if we want to win.

I love Barack Obama and I share these words as a concerned voter. I watch MSNBC, and other networks and each time before elections they run footage and do stories continually and disproportionately on Hillary and it makes me furious, and since we know that many in America are not ready to see a man of color in the white house, we have to fight harder, not give amuniton to the enemy, and we have to say focused.

By Renegade Apr 22nd 2008 at 9:49 pm EDT

I posted this for the first time about 10 hours ago and I will continue to post it throughout the rest of the evening.

The bottom line is this- PA is one of several HRC's "home states". Don't let the pundits fool you by down playing how tailored made this state is for her. She "suppose" to beat BO healthyly in this state just as he beat her healthyly in IL, HI, and KS. He is affiliated with all three states in some form.

Don't let them bamboozle you with the amount of money he spent. When you're down 26 points (a month ago) and don't have name recognition, you better outspend your opposition. BTW, we just have more money to spend than her.

Let's not get our hopes too high. That's what I'm really getting at. I was here on these blogs after NH and OH and it was not pretty here. Just remember, what ever happens tonight, we will better the outcome with IN and NC on 6 May :-)

I predict she'll beat BO by 8 points. On the other hand, if the turnout is much larger than the expected record breaking turnout that officials expects, I predict a BO upset of 1-3 points.

An apology from a former Republican | Report to Admin

By Sheri Obamacan fromTexas Apr 22nd 2008 at 9:49 pm EDT

"This is our chance to declare independence from the current Politics” that’s why I am running for President of the United States of America” - Barack Obama
I feel I need to apologize on behalf of White American’s in this country. Our history of racial bias is an example of generational bigotry taught to our children and their children. It is with sincere regret that Caucasian American’s would take their gift of a vote and abuse the privilege it offers them to make a difference in this world. Please accept my deepest sincere apology for our ignorant behavior. Education is freedom and when we can mirror the rest of the world in our tolerance of different skin color perhaps we will truly be free. I am sorry if the White vote has disappointed anyone in America. I am ashamed of our ignorance.

"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the trade unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me. – Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984)

Tim Russert | Report to Admin

By Kelly who just moved to FL so she could vote there for Obama Apr 22nd 2008 at 9:51 pm EDT

Russert had the absolute best analysis of anyone tonight.

He said the fact that Obama can't crack into her base is that it is too entrenched - too determined to see Hillary break the ceiling. Then he added - it's not that they don't like Obama, it's just that her base is too immovable.

But best - Russert said he could think of no male candidate - black or white - who cut into that base.

I think that adds a different perspective.

Now Russert is reporting that because more Obama voters said they could vote for Hillary than Hillary voters who said they could vote for Obama that Clinton's camp would use that as an additional argument for why they should vote for Hillary!

Christ! They read EVERYTHING wrong: what that poll number means (62% of Clinton voters could not vote for Obama but only 52% of Obama voters could not vote Hillary) is that Obama voters are more magnanimous and less sexist than Hillary voters are RACIST...yes, I said it. I think the majority of Hillary voters who said they can't vote for Obama, can't do so because he is black. Obama voters overwhelmingly more unifying and less prejudiced.

Hey !!! Does anyone...us...the MSM...the candidates ever stop and think that although we are entrenched in our own camps EITHER of these candidates has usually gotten more votes in each state than the Republican candidates put together. It is not a doomsday scenerio if we can't completely grab all of HRC's votes. (Barack has taught me to be calm,logical, and positive in my thinking)

I am a white woman, 43, registered Independent (well, I was until I moved to VA last summer and didn't have to register as anything!)...and I have to agree. There will be some folks who will never vote for a "black" man. BUT, there will also be people who will never vote for a woman, or an Hispanic, or a Republican, or a Democrat, or...you get the picture.

Once Senator Obama gets the nomination then the contest comes down to a candidate that will get us out of Iraq and restore integrity to this govt. or one that will continue to stay in a war that should never have been authorized, racking up incredible debt. WHO WILL WIN? OBAMA!

We vote for Obama because we believe in bringing about real change, not only for America, but for a war-weary world. Let's keep that in mind as we press on. We knew we were not going to win today. Anyone who thought we were was fooling themselves. But we can win the nomination, and from there WILL win the general election.

But, just for the sake of argument, let's just say that we all worked and donated in vain. Would it not be better to be able to say to ourselves - and to future generations - that we did everything we could?

Of course, that isn't going to happen. Will will win the nomination, and we will win the general election. So let's celebrate tonight, then get back to work tomorrow. We've done well!!!

I agree with you, and it really is intractable in some of these backwards-thinking state (sorry, just talking about the state generally, I know some of you are forward-thinking there). I hate that the youth vote constantly gets trumped by the older vote. How backwards does our Country have to go. We have so much more to do with getting youth out to vote (and expanding the youth age upward to counteract the baby-boomers). I am mid-40s but I feel with you youth.

The racism, I feel, was really rampant in a lot of areas here as was the woman needing to see a woman crack that ceiling (and I am feeling really mad about that, idiots). Look at Rendell's remarks, I'm not even sure I would vote for Obama if he picked that idiot (and apologizing to PA voters who support him, I am reacting to his indicating that people in Penn weren't ready to vote for a black man, guess he was being honest but still, it was like he was excusing them...grrr).

But we are still in the lead...I am still fired up! I am venting but will awake afresh.

Not listening to Clinton though, I will never ever ever give her one ounce of my support...I will leave this Party before I support her.

Barack comes from 25% behind to within 10% in Hillary's "home" state with strong support of her typical democraphic. Barack wins Independents, most say Hillary went too far in her ads, and most see Barack as the eventual nominee.

How did he not win? Sure, he didn't win the most delegates ... but Hillary didn't win the most delegates in Texas and somehow everyone "thinks" she won our state.

Point is, when Barack wins it's by 20%+ ... when Hillary wins she barely eeks one out. Why does she keep getting a pass? Let's be honest, she was done back in February but somehow, someone let her wear out her welcome.

I agree on the speech. The ending sounds clinton-esque with the "I'll wake up every day thinking about you..." I want him waking up running the country not thinking about little ol' me.

I miss the hope speeches - they were calls to action. I thought he changed it to draw the blue collar voters that go for her. They go for her "be a lazy American" message of: just sit back and I, the fighter HRC, will do it all for you.

I liked Obama's call to action message of : women reaching for the ballot, abolitionists working to end a wicked system, everything worth doing started with hope and action. A 'take back our country' message. He's always good, I just liked the bigger picture speeches and yet night after night the pundits want more details. What more can he do? Get up there with bar graphs? He has just as much details in his town hall stops as she does. I've suffered through one of hers, and he actually has more details and he answers questions honestly and thoroughly.

Hillary is not going to get her big bump in delegates in this primary election tonight. She is running low on donations and is deeply in debt.
We can make things even more dire for Hillary by donating more and making the distance between our movement and the HRC campaign. It will drive them nuts that we lose and the donations get greater!
We the people can force her out of this race!
$50 from me tonight!!

I think the Margin is going to be 10 | Report to Admin

By Dan The Man Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:06 pm EDT

Half the state hasnt come in yet, and she is killing us everywhere but Philly.

We were suppossed to win Philly 69-31. Its only 61-39

Also losing pretty bad in Bucks county where I canvassed and really thought we would win by 60-40.

The surrounding suburbs of Philly were suppossed to be ours, we are losing bad there...Thats a shock to me.

I think the numbers are going to add up all over the state, and when they do, it will be 10.

I just donated $100.

Lets really donate and hammer her with Ad's in Indiana and North Carolina.

if we can cut a 20 point lead to 10 in a state that is so strong for herm then imagine what we can do in a state that favors us like North Car, and a state that is a toss up with Independents!

We need to put her away on mat 6th.

If we win both, it will be just as good as winning tonight!

Re: I think the Margin is going to be 10 | Report to Admin

By Dan The Man Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:13 pm EDT

Philly is like 82% in and unless the rest all goes for us, we are going to be beat up from the rest of the state for the rest of the count.

this could get ugly. We arent winning any place else but Philly and like 1 or 2 suburbs.

I really felt we would do better in the suburbs around the city.

I hope the last 18% to come in from Philly is all african american precincts!

I'm a bit surprised. I do think the Margin is now going to be at least 10 from looking at the numbers.

She wont pick up more then 200,000 votes.

Problem is she is hitting 70% or more in a lot of these counties which means more delegates I think.

Sherrie,
I'm sorry this is so hard for you. It's tough to understand when we believe so strongly in our candidate why anyone could support anyone else.
Please maintain the hope and know that, in general, the more people learn about Obama, the more they like him. He's a new face and doesn't have the legacy of being First Lady - he doesn't have name recognition. It's going to take longer for people to get to know him and understand that he is strong. People will have to come to redefine strong and in this case, strong is not engaging in politics as usual.
Have faith and maintain hope - we're there with you and will help hold you up.
gObama!

On a lighter note, before moving here I have lived in Seattle, San Francisco, LA, Italy and England. So, having lived here in ID for 5 years and figured this is the most backwoods backwards redneck racist behind-the-times state I could imagine and then I saw OH and now PA vote!

Clinton's next move-play the race card directly | Report to Admin

By Former DC Resident Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:07 pm EDT

From the LA Times:

"The Clinton campaign signaled Monday that it would not be shy in arguing that nominating Obama would risk alienating certain white voters. In a conference call with reporters, campaign pollster Geoff Garin spoke in blunt terms about how the racial divide in Democratic contests -- with working-class whites clearly preferring Clinton over Obama -- makes her a stronger general election candidate.

"The Obama campaign has simply not done a very effective job connecting with blue-collar and middle-income voters, and they are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party," Garin said. He added later that Obama's "appeal among white voters typically has been among the people who are the most affluent" and best educated. It is unusual for the campaign to talk so directly about racial divisions among Democratic voters."

This is her only card left. That low income, white voters will not vote for a black man. That's her argument to the superdelegates. Her comment that he 'can't win' was a veiled reference to this point of view. Technically, if she was really a democrat and cared about the party, she would withdraw and do everything she could to get her base to support the nominee. but, look at the position she's putting the SDs in: Nominate me over Obama because I carry the white vote. Nominate him and he's on his own (she's been ambivalent about supporting him as the nominee).

White blue collar voters will not vote for Obama. But the real issue is that in as much as she stays in and damages him further, yes they wont vote for him they will vote for her.

However if she were to get out and support him by rallying them, they will. But noooooooooooooooooooo.... its Hills way or the highway... scorched earth??? You are damn skippy!!!!!!

This 'victory' is not a true Victory for Hillary. She will not pass Obama in popular vote, delegate count or states won.

also, 10% is NOT a big difference in popular vote, or delegaes. The popular vote difference is only 114,000 so far, and it won't reach 200,000. The delegate count will be negligible.

Words of comfort | Report to Admin

By Hopeful Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:15 pm EDT

I just felt led to write this to all of you.

I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of Barack and how hard he fought in PA. If you remember, Clinton should have wiped the floor with him based on what we heard weeks before. The fact that he's keeping it this close is a great accomplishment. It means that Clinton has lost support over the past couple of weeks.

The media will spin it however they want for ratings; that's something that should not be surprising to us. But they can't change the numbers. They can't change the fact that Obama has more delegates, more states won, and more of the popular vote. As badly as they want to keep this going, pretty soon it will end. We're not stupid; we see the numbers, we get other information. We're a very smart people.

So I would say go to bed knowing that the awesome guy you're supporting did a great job, and that he did it with such integrity. He has a lot more patience then I do in terms of extending grace to Clinton; he has so many things that he could hammer her on, but he chooses not too out of integrity. I would much rather have a candidate with integrity who I believe cares about me than a candidate who would do anything just to get my vote.

No one can deny the fact that he's moving so many people in this country. No one can take away the big rallies he has won. And I'll add one more thing to brighten your spirits:

No one can deny the fact that Clinton will get pwned in NC in a few weeks. We'll be smiling soon enough :-) God bless you all.

In a lot of the rest of the state, they only have like 20-30% of the votes in, and the pattern is terrible for us there.

Her base is her base; they are only going to vote for her just like we are only going to vote for him. But Obama won over the people on the fence. That's a great victory. We didn't do that in RI and OH. So congrats!

By Acorn from Texas Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:20 pm EDT

So far I have watched none of the election coverage. However, it sounds like we either didn’t or my not win PA. Anyway, I don’t know about you but I am tiring of this race. It’s dragging on a little too long for me. I am reaching the point where I am just not that interested anymore. I’m not sure how this system of electing a nominee came about, but I know one thing “it sucks”. I’m sure the MSMs like it because their ratings go up. The Democrats say they like it because it enables greater participation in the process, thus an opportunity to bring more people into the party. I think however they have forgotten one important thing. The longer this race goes on the more polarizing it becomes. They are also making the mistake of comparing this contest to races in the past. Don’t they know by now this time it’s different. The only reason I’m interested in this primary is because of Obama. If for some reason he is not the nominee I have no reason to vote for a Democrat. I have said on a number of occasions under no circumstances will I vote for HRC. In fact, I can’t imagine me voting for a ticket with her name on it. So, as far as I am concerned tomorrow the supers should declare for whomever they wish--if it’s not BO let me know so I can drop this charade and move on. I have had enough and the DNC, Party Leadership and the Supers needs to understand this.

More Math | Report to Admin

By Tim from Denver, CO Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:21 pm EDT

Chuck Todd just did a nice report on this on MSNBC but here is my version:

Coming into tonight Obama was up by 166 pledged delegates. I will give the benefit of the doubt and say worse case HRC picks up 20 tonight, it will be less given how delegates are disproportionally allocated to traditional democratic strongholds (Philly center city, etc.)

So tomorrow it will be 146 pledged delegate advantage for Obama.

So tomorrow there will be 408 pledged delegates left to be selected.

She would have to win every remaining contest by more than 70% to 30% to win the pledged delegate contest.

Next we have RCP averages from NC and IN (not including undecided) and we probably pick up 15. So then the lead is to 161.

So then you have 221 pledged delegates up for grab, with a 161 lead for Obama.

So now HRC has to win the other 7 contests (including Guam and PR) by more than 86% to 14%.

Sleep well tonight

Tomorrow,

Call Indiana!

Call NC!

Yes we can!

Re: Why Barack Can Not Put Hillary Away | Report to Admin

By Gael Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:45 pm EDT

Yes it is largely the white female vote - some older women over 50 or so, who would like to see a woman President before they leave this earth. While I can understand that, it is also somewhat selfish.

It's not about who occupies the office, it's rather about how the country fares under that person. One thing I do know - without a determined people's army behind our leader, and without a leader beholding only the people, nothing will change.

The Opponent's army is old and tired and their leader is compromised. Nothing much will change. So these women will be giving the next generation, their children, a country which 80%+ of the country believes is on the wrong track. The current President took 8 years to wreck the country, and it will take the next more than that to right it. By that time, it will be too late, and many of those women so desperate to see that woman in the office will no longer even be with us.

On the other hand, Obama's army is young and fresh and number in the millions. Most of them will be around for decades and have more of a stake in the future of this country than the older ones. Obama is not compromised and has a much, much higher chance of actually turning the country.

If those women who were so eager to see the Opponent as President were to think more about future generations and less about themselves, they might think twice about who they are backing.

My 2 cents.

Sad Day for Obama Fans | Report to Admin

By IN student for Obama Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:22 pm EDT

Rough day, but lets stay positive we did our best.
I have been praying all day for an Obama upset to Clinton, but i guess it didnt happen.

I just wish he keeps the popular vote to less than 50,000 instead of a 100,000.

This really upsets me. We all want to see a woman or black in office. But i mean how the F*** can people vote for a deceiving kniving liar. I cant belive all these people are fooled by her.

Now they are going to do all the spinning around to make it in her favor and stuff.

We need to win NC big big big at least by 30 points. We need to whoop her ass so bad. And we have to win IN by at least 10 points or more.

If we dont win BOTH States, CLinton campagin will steal the election from us somehow someway. We need to really Knock Her Out of the ring in IN.

I am so sad guys. And know she is beggin at her rally for people to donate at her campaign online. She is 10 million in debt, its a shame.

Good job to all the people that worked hard in PA, and hope we will kick her ugly ass on MAY 6th

Re: Sad Day for Obama Fans | Report to Admin

By Tim from Denver, CO Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:24 pm EDT

Chuck Todd just did a nice report on this on MSNBC but here is my version:

Coming into tonight Obama was up by 166 pledged delegates. I will give the benefit of the doubt and say worse case HRC picks up 20 tonight, it will be less given how delegates are disproportionally allocated to traditional democratic strongholds (Philly center city, etc.)

So tomorrow it will be 146 pledged delegate advantage for Obama.

So tomorrow there will be 408 pledged delegates left to be selected.

She would have to win every remaining contest by more than 70% to 30% to win the pledged delegate contest.

Next we have RCP averages from NC and IN (not including undecided) and we probably pick up 15. So then the lead is to 161.

So then you have 221 pledged delegates up for grab, with a 161 lead for Obama.

So now HRC has to win the other 7 contests (including Guam and PR) by more than 86% to 14%.

Sleep well tonight

Tomorrow,

Call Indiana!

Call NC!

Yes we can!

And she will be facing, her nuclear comments, her Move-on.org comments, all of Bill's idiotic comments, her financial debt, and, just for good measure, that she can't catch up in the delegate count.

Barack Obama was en route from Philadelphia to Evansville, Ind., when the race was called," the Washington Post reports, "but the candidate and his advisers were all smiles when they boarded the plane, relieved that the dreaded blowout had not occurred. The news of a projected single-digit win for Clinton -- a projection that might yet change -- was transmitted via BlackBerrys as the campaign landed."

By MissSBD Apr 22nd 2008 at 11:07 pm EDT

CarolforObama, I think the campaign is too relax because they think Barack has the election sown up but that is not true. The super delegates will decide and they are Pro-Hillary. That's the reason they have not rally around Barack after it is mathematical impossible for her to take the lead from Barack. I know no one want to thank about the super delegates can over turn the will of the people. The words are that they think Barack Obama is too weak to take on the Republicans. I know Harold Ford Jr. well and he gave Barack some good advice because he knows what the talk is amoung the super delegates. They feel their chances are better with Hillary because she will get down low and dirty with the Republican. The know Hillary is tough enough but they are not convinced Barack is tough enough.

Barack wants a new politics but he needs to figure out a way to fight this old politics because the super delegates is the one who he needs to convince to seal this nomination. I know everybody think Hillary can't win this but there is concerned within the party about nominating Barack. I want him to win but it is out of our hand. The super delegates will decide this whether we like it or not. Most of the super delegates have a long time friendship, relationships, and loyalty with the Clintons so Hillary is heavily favored in the Democratic Party.

Looks like the final margin based on what is still to come in favirs her big time will be 10.

It will be like 55-45.

She picks up 200,000 votes

We will win NC by at least 10, and pick up 100,000 votes. We will also win Indiana in a close race and pick up 20,000 votes.

So after May 6th, we will still be over 600,000 votes better and way more deleagets.

be prepared for the MSM love fest and all the doublters for the next 2 weeks.

Then this will all come to an end.

I would love it is we out raised her by 3-1 tonight! What ever she can raise, we can raise 3 times that ammount!

It has to be questioned | Report to Admin

By Liz in California | “Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them” ~ Einstein Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:40 pm EDT

Does anyone else wonder why the exit polls in certain states keep showing Obama so much further ahead than the final vote count? (While typically exit polls are spot-on?)

We should call it what it is: Suspicious. How do you explain that exit polls USED to be a reliable predictor of who would win? (My understanding was it was unprecedented when it happened with Bush v Kerry 2004. I heard in some cases they also later "adjusted" the exit polls, as they may be doing tonight.)

Let's look closer at electronic voting machines, which are not secure.

Now, many believe we can still beat electronic vote "tricks" with our sheer numbers, so we don’t need to panic. They can't change our votes TOO much or we'd start to notice and question. (Why not start to notice and question now?)

If this issue concerns you, I have been told that the Open Voting Consortium is the solution:

There is a mix of disappointment, relief that PA is over with, and well received advice that we knew it was a Hillary win and we just had to narrow the margin. We did what we were supposed to do. Ideally, a win for our guy would have been Wonderful, but that was setting our expectations beyond what the more experienced people were telling us. Its ok guys. As many have pointed out, she is out of money, she is behind in everything else. We will prevail, and all of the negativity cannot take hold because we need positive energies flowing. As for the trolls, we will welcome their vote when he is the nominee, because bottom line is, Barack Obama is a good man with sincere desire to help us all.

SCATHING Editorial On Clinton In Tomorrow's NYT | Report to Admin

By captain o - hopemonger Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:42 pm EDT

Ouch, this has to hurt:

"The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result on Tuesday, was even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it.

Voters are getting tired of it; it is demeaning the political process; and it does not work. It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible, does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election.

If nothing else, self interest should push her in that direction. Mrs. Clinton did not get the big win in Pennsylvania that she needed to challenge the calculus of the Democratic race. It is true that Senator Barack Obama outspent her 2-to-1. But Mrs. Clinton and her advisers should mainly blame themselves, because, as the political operatives say, they went heavily negative and ended up squandering a good part of what was once a 20-point lead."

I think that sums it up pretty well, don't you?

On this site, its about Obama..
I believe, Obama is feeling our pain..

Some mention, that they were disappointed in the 18-29 votes.
On this site, someone told the younger voters to pass of the filling out the Exit Poll report.

Many of our voters are true voters..

Lots of the vote H received were because of Rush Limbaugh..

I noticed no one on the TV mention his name..
Which I wish someone would write KO and ask him to mention Rush..
Because, I listen to the radio today and he predicted 12% would be his Operation crew!

I Love Obama, and most of his followers feel the same way I feel.

Obama was up against, Hillary, Bill, Rush, Chelsa, Media, Republicans.

He had his hands tied..
However, we will pray harder,and more money..

Well maybe Hillary Clinton is right? I mean really why do people support someone who will not even hold his hand over his heart for our national Anthem? I was a Obama supporter until I found out just how American is Obama?

Go Hillary

Well, did you not do your research? Barack has led the Pledge of Allegiance in the Senate many times. If you are referring to a photograph that went around on the internet, they were singing the Star Spangled Banner, not the reciting the Pledge of Allegience. Please be fair and get facts straight before you place a vote for wrong reasons.

Steven, too bad about your candidate Hillary Clinton. You obviously know it's almost a virtual impossibility for her to win this contest, unless of course she wins 74% of each and every primary going forward and that isn't going to happen.

You are welcome here, get behind Obama and fight McCain.

Dude, get real. If you want to support Clinton, that's one thing, but if holding one's hand over their heart during the anthem is proof of their true patriotism to you, then you really need a reality check. By that morbid logic, any Christian who doesn't fold their hands each time they pray would be a satanist! Come on... think before you type!

Don't be discouraged.
Just some weeks ago you were way behind the Clinton machine. That you are now within 9 or less points only shows one thing: HRC has to be grateful that the primary was held today and not 5 days from now, cause then she would be facing a resounding defeat.
People get to know Obama, people vote Obama. In November he'll take Pennsylvania and 'all the big states a Democrat should win' plus more, handily.

You can achieve anything, there is undeniable evidence to say this, don't let the pundits tell you otherwise. When you take North Carolina and then Indiana, you'll look back at this day and say it was worth the effort, every day you've spent calling, canvassing, informing voters, working for change, will be a legacy not just for the United States but for all the world.

thank you so much.... so well written. We did well.

How frustrating! | Report to Admin

By Tere Apr 22nd 2008 at 10:48 pm EDT

This is so frustrating. I was hoping this deal would close tonight. The decision will be in the hands of the superdelegates.

Time to change strategies people. Keep working on the future primaries, BUT START CALLING THE SUPERDELEGATES in your region and let them know that if they go with Hillary [against the popular vote, the pledged delegates, etc.] you will close your wallet and will never donate another dollar to the party OR will volunteer your time.

Make sure they know your age too... they should be scared of turning their backs on the future of the party.

CALL or WRITE to your superdelegates!

He is tempered, which I like, considering that HRC was ahead a few weeks ago in PA by 26? 30? We still look to be within 10. NICE.

This is a hard slog. HRC was to be the anointed DEM nominee and she is not because she underestimated OB and US! Let's stay positive and keep it all in a realistic perspective and DONATE!

YES WE CAN
