Switch the roles.  Imagine this. . . </br><br></br><br>Hillary Clinton just won 11 straight states by an AVERAGE of 33%.  She's outraised her opponent 2 to 1.  She's galvanized the electorate.  She played by the rules, ran a relatively clean campaign and has created an insurmountable lead.  She is poised to be the Democratic nominee.</br><br></br><br>Only one small problem.  Some guy named Barack Obama just won't get out of the way.  </br><br></br><br>This guy, Barack, has no mathematical path to the nomination.  Yet he holds his share of the Democratic Party hostage in some twisted attempt to extort a nomination that he hasn't earned.</br><br></br><br>This guy, Obama, is routinely allowed to make his own rules.  He changes the goal posts every chance he gets.  Yet, surprisingly, he holds Hillary to unrealistic standards that he, himself, could never reach.</br><br></br><br>He's so despised by half the country that he doesn't waste time trying to make a positive claim for his own candidacy.  Instead he spends the majority of his time trying to raise Hillary's negatives.  He talks about every Clinton scandal that ever happened.  When asked if he thinks Hillary killed Vince Foster, he replies, \"Of course not. . . AS FAR AS I KNOW.\"</br><br></br><br>His campaign is in constant disarray.  He's already fired three major campaign strategists.  He's in debt with a poor reputation for failing to pay outstanding bills - yet he somehow has the audicity to claim that he's ready on day one.</br><br></br><br>He knows he can't win, so he sends his surrogates out to do his dirty work.  </br><br></br><br>He spreads the idea that Hillary is only where she is because she's a woman; and that any vote she gets is because of (a.) male guilt or (b.) because the country is just too racist to give him a fair shot.</br><br></br><br>When asked whether or not his acts damage the party he just grins and tells Hillary to toughen up.  \"If she can't take the heat, she should get out of the kitchen.  After all, polls show most men won't vote for a woman, anyway.\"</br><br></br><br>He dismisses every victory she's ever had.  He mocks her message. And he ridicules her supporters as needy, victim-card carrying, enablers with a diva complex.</br><br></br><br>Amazingly, however, he makes time to compliment the Republican nominee at her expense and proceeds to join forces with the RNC and Fox News to parrot every negative right-wing smear associated with her campaign.  When he's challenged on it, he shrugs his shoulders and says, \"Well the Republicans were gonna say it anyways.\"</br><br></br><br>Are you tellin' me that Hillary's supporters would just smile, kiss and make up after all of this.  Give me a break.</br><br></br><br>I have NO loyalty to the Clintons.  And, since her latest \"let's nuke Iran\" comments from last weeks debate, I'm convinced that she's just as much a hawk as McCain.  No thank you.

This election is nice because folks are taking the time to stop each other on the street and ask, "Have you voted yet". Overwhelming, people are telling me they are going after work and they are all Obama. (Of course, my sample may be skewed as I only go out of my way to speak to black folks and I am wearing an Obama shirt, button and sticker.) Anyway, I am feeling the love in Philly. When my son walked into his preschool today, (a polling place) he told the workers that he voted for Obama and they cheered. He also told me he wants Obama to knock Hillary Clinton off of the world. I told him that would be a little too much.</div>\

It\'s virtually impossible to get a popular vote lead because it\'s typical for her to bypass states where she doesn\'t have a lead(NC). I don\'t think I\'ve ever seen a case where she was able to eat into a Barack lead, therefore, seh won\'t get many votes in NC.  So, what does that leave? She can only gain the nomination by convincing the superdelegates to take the nomination from Barack and give it to her or, wrangle herself a place at the top of a joint ticket.</br><br></br><br>She\'s managed to carve out a constituency(white blue collar) that is all her own, by being racially polarizing. To me, this is extremely troubling because of what it says about her ability to be a leader of all people. However, she has falsely created the same question about Barack by the trumped up "elitist" charge.</br><br></br><br>If Barack hopes to get this nomination without Hillary tagging along, he will have to dig deep to gain Blue collar voters in the upcoming states. He will have to appeal to something so good and so powerful inside them to counteract the negative appeals that she is only capable of.</br></div>\

Imagine this. . . </br><br></br><br>Hillary Clinton just won 11 straight states by an AVERAGE of 33%.  She\'s outraised her opponent 2 to 1.  She\'s galvanized the electorate.  She played by the rules, ran a relatively clean campaign and has created an insurmountable lead.  She is poised to be the Democratic nominee.</br><br></br><br>Only one small problem.  Some guy named Barack Obama just won\'t get out of the way.  </br><br></br><br>This guy, Barack, has no mathematical path to the nomination.  Yet he holds his share of the Democratic Party hostage in some twisted attempt to extort a nomination that he hasn\'t earned.</br><br></br><br>This guy, Obama, is routinely allowed to make his own rules.  He changes the goal posts every chance he gets.  Yet, surprisingly, he holds Hillary to unrealistic standards that he, himself, could never reach.</br><br></br><br>He\'s so despised by half the country that he doesn\'t waste time trying to make a positive claim for his own candidacy.  Instead he spends the majority of his time trying to raise Hillary\'s negatives.  He talks about every Clinton scandal that ever happened.  When asked if he thinks Hillary killed Vince Foster, he replies, "Of course not. . . AS FAR AS I KNOW."</br><br></br><br>His campaign is in constant disarray.  He\'s already fired three major campaign strategists.  He\'s in debt with a poor reputation for failing to pay outstanding bills - yet he somehow has the audicity to claim that he\'s ready on day one.</br><br></br><br>He knows he can\'t win, so he sends his surrogates out to do his dirty work.  </br><br></br><br>He spreads the idea that Hillary is only where she is because she\'s a woman; and that any vote she gets is because of (a.) male guilt or (b.) because the country is just too racist to give him a fair shot.</br><br></br><br>When asked whether or not his acts damage the party he just grins and tells Hillary to toughen up.  "If she can\'t take the heat, she should get out of the kitchen.  After all, polls show most men won\'t vote for a woman, anyway."</br><br></br><br>He dismisses every victory she\'s ever had.  He mocks her message. And he ridicules her supporters as needy, victim-card carrying, enablers with a diva complex.</br><br></br><br>Amazingly, however, he makes time to compliment the Republican nominee at her expense and proceeds to join forces with the RNC and Fox News to parrot every negative right-wing smear associated with her campaign.  When he\'s challenged on it, he shrugs his shoulders and says, "Well the Republicans were gonna say it anyways."</br><br></br><br>Are you tellin\' me that Hillary\'s supporters would just smile, kiss and make up after all of this.  Give me a break.</br><br></br><br>I have NO loyalty to the Clintons.  And, since her latest "let\'s nuke Iran" comments from last weeks debate, I\'m convinced that she\'s just as much a hawk as McCain.  No thank you.  If I wanted a Republican, I\'d vote for one.</br></div>\

Bill Clinton is seething with rage over this.  Under these circumstances - for African Americans, another candidate/party will be more attractive than Hillary Clinton.</br></div>\
