Well let’s look at FACTS instead of emotion.

Here’s Florida’s results:

Clinton 856,944
Obama 568,930

In the major Democratic base states, who won?

California, Michigan, New Hampshire, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts——all Clinton.

And I hear the Obama campaign is conceding that they won’t win in Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

It seems quite CLEAR who is more electable, doesn’t it?

Obama’s largest contributor is Goldman Sachs. It’s why he voted AGAINST a cap on interest rates charged on credit cards for lower-income clients in predatory lending schemes.
Goldman Sachs, I’m sure, was very grateful for that vote.

By the way, everybody, Clinton raised $4 million in 24 hours, and still counting even more donations. She also registered 35,000 new voters!

Gallup daily tracking shows a sharp Clinton uptick after Super Tuesday:

Clinton 52%
Obama 39%

Go Hillary!!!

With Obama, I see the grassroots (with it’s more progressive agenda) at work with his donations coming mostly from people donating less than $100. The political machine tries to discount the netroots by minimizing them or painting them as the ‘fringe’. Does this not seem more a battle between the grassroots and the political machine over where the party is headed?<br /> Okay, I’ll go sit down and sip on my red kool-aid.</p> Anyone looking at the discourse occurring in the background or am I sipping some type of conspiracy kool-aid (if so, i hope it’s red kool-aid…yes red kool-aid is a flavor lol)

I personally am sick to death of it.

An interesting point: McCain voted against public financing of elections back in 1990 in the wake of the S&L fiasco, to which he was connected as one of the Keating Five.

You guys cut it out before I become pet-ulant.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to tick you off.
