Did weak support from Hispanic-Americans doom Senator Clinton's bid for the Democratic nomination?
Hard-working white Americans might have anticipated that Clinton would cater to their needs. For example, maybe they would have new job opportunities. However, Hispanic-Americans might have been concerned that Clinton would give their jobs to hard-working white Americans.

4. Nah, Obama also won the Latino vote in Illinois and Virginia
And most likely in Colorado as well, though there are no exit polls because it was a caucus.

3. K&R Every Negative Hillary Thread Until She Actually Endorses Obama Like She Should Have On Tuesday!
Edited on Fri Jun-06-08 05:09 PM by IanDB1
If she'd done so, these threads would have been sinking by now.

9. She did nothing wrong by not endorsing Obama Tuesday, her supporters (who Obama now needs)
wanted a proud speech about what they accomplished. And she is dropping out of the race and an unprecedentedly early point--every other race this close in history went to the convention.

I am sure you will be disappointed with something Hillary says on Saturday, even as she endorses Obama.

11. Nope, she did nothing wrong. Your arrogant attitude demonstrates the hatefulness the Obama has
brought out in this country, which will most likely cost him the election.

But look on the bright side....when he loses you will just turn around and blame Hillary.

22. After of course, these people are just hypocrites.
People like Harriett Christian whining about FL and MI being stripped of half their votes even though she's from New York. :eyes:

23. I know. It's the height of hypocrisy to cry foul if you agreed to the rules
at the start of the game. Some of them are still pissed that the RBC didn't hand the nomination to Hillary. And let's be clear, the Clintons still controlled the RBC until recently. So that tells me that their case was weak on its face.

However, I so want to move beyond this, and I don't think starting a thread like this helps at this point. It's over.
