1. Yet another sign of heavy media bias for Obama - where is the

list of Clintons likely pick for VP?





:popcorn:

4. hahaha

oh my me.

you're funny.

why not list huckabee's vp options?

[CadenBlaker]

2. Clinton isn't winning.

Why would the media do a list of Clinton vp picks when she is not capable of winning mathematically? She isn't going to win, the sooner you get over all of this, the better.

You know, I feel for you, I've never had my overall pick win in any election. In fact, Edwards was my choice last election and he didn't win, and that was very upsetting, but I got over it. This bitterness has to end here so we can move on. I'm not trying to rub this in your face, I just want us to move forward and all of this delusion and grand standing is not going to help the liberal or progressive cause in the general election.

3. I'm sorry - I really shouldn't post before having coffee.

The thing is that i have become so used to the delusional posturing that I tried to fill the void in a funny ironic way which fell flat on its face. You sir, have it right: The primary is over for all practical purposes and we should all get behind the nominated candidate.

5. CLINTON'S CHOICES FOR A RUNNING MATE

hillary only has one choice for a running mate.....

JOHN "THE REPUBLICAN" MCCAIN

and he would be on top

7. verry funny

The sad thing is that it is because of Obama supporters like you that I have trouble supporting or even voting for him. I cannot see past the ugliness that spews out of you to like him or want to vote for him. I have seen what the pugs have put out against the Clintons for years and it is mild to what I have seen the Obama supporters put out against her.

8. I agree that the Obama supporters have been pretty harsh

but we had to stand by while both the Clinton's and the GOP hammered Obama for a few months and that was all over the news. And then we watched the Clinton's say "if you can't stand the heat get out of the fire" over and over again. As Obama took the high road and didn't spit back, us Obama supporters got pissed for him. I got even more pissed as I canvassed and had so many people tell me that they couldn't vote for Obama because he is unpatriotic or Muslim. Their smears worked and the coverage in favor of Clinton (talking about the smears for two months straight and then the ABC debate) on MSN was ridiculous. So yes we are smiling now and still sticking up for him and trying to figure out how we can all move on. Hillary is done and everyone can see that. Obama is trying to be polite about it and the MSN is trying to move on. Everyone is tip toeing around the Clinton's not because they want to finish the race (most people don't have problems with this) but because they seem a little delusional and they want the rest of the democratic party to sink with their ship.

9. Obama got to take the high road only because he had

his underground supporters doing all the nasty work. Come on implying that Clinton and McCain is getting it on is just plain sick and not sticking up for him. Are you so used to the repugs attacks that you are acting like them now. The above reference is not the first in the Democratic Underground. We all hate Bush and feel that the repugs are evil and the Country needs to move on, but unless the nastiness stops from his supporters we may not have anything to celebrate come November. Me and others like me will not vote McCain, but don't make it hard for us to vote for Obama also, and right now you all are.

11. I'm not saying that Clinton and McCain were "getting it on"

but I did say that they were both hammering on Obama. It made it pretty obvious that the GOP would have preferred to have Clinton win. I don't really understand why... maybe they have more on Hillary Clinton to use during the GE? She even had the conservative radio stations and Fox news promoting her. When I was convassing for Obama people said they still didn't know how Obama felt about the issue's. This was because they only had access to the MSN and the only thing on those stations were the smears thrown out there by the Clinton and GOP compaigns.
