and believe it or not, some very intelligent and insightful people support clinton's bid for office. some of the rhetoric in this thread is guilty of the same kind of shrill narrowmindedness that the extreme minority of clinton supporters are guilty enough.

perspective please, people.

I know some intelligent people are supporting Clinton. That doesn't alter my perception that she has a bigger slice of the moron pie than Obama, and her campaigning approach appears to reflect that. I'm sorry if that sounds elitist of me because honestly I gain no pleasure from scoffing at low intelligence being exploited.

Her core vote being neanderthal was rhetorical of me I accept that. But then I agree with you that "Clinton's conduct in this matter has been absolutely grotesque" which is why I further question the mindset of the many voters still supporting her, at this stage of the campaign, and in particular the type given to yelling at the committee members and booing at the mention of Obama's name - I call that neanderthal, and I'd like to have seen Hillary speak out against that kind of behaviour.

But yes, point about perspective taken on board.

well yesterday i was stuck in traffic behind a guy with a very new looking "support president bush" sticker on his bumper.

there's no accounting for taste.

Personally, I think this point is worth more consideration than it seems to typically get. Whether we like it or not, we're globalizing, and our standing with the world keeps getting more important as time goes on. I appreciate the constructive, positive persona that Obama offers our world image.

Clinton to deliver major speech in New York tomorrow night.

Expected to suspend campaign.

I think it is, although I don't like either Democratic candidate, unwise to lose pretty much three preferred means of implementation in favour of swapping to a total different (although still wrong) school of thought.

Basically, I'm annoyed by Hillary Clinton supporters being unreasonable by saying they won't for Obama in the general election...

Can't have your favourite type of pie so you pass up on the feast?!

I hope the bitch drops out, though...

[Deckard]

I may have spoken too soon.....

"Senior Clinton campaign aides privy to the construction of tomorrow night's election night celebration in New York insist that Sen. Clinton will not use the occasion to drop out of the race."

She will surely be dipping into some kind of alternate reality if she turns up tomorrow/today insisting she can win?

That'll be Mrs. B(+), for you.

From Montana to the world, I have one thing to say:

You're welcome.

Obama is presumptive nominee.

Obama is going to win pretty handily in November, I think. He will trounce McCain in the debates. Let's hope he doesn't go with a Dan Quayle.
