He needs to strike NOW while the iron is hot.
This "give her space" stuff ain't gonna work; Hillary's race-baiting is just one of many reasons why.
I'm gonna keep saying it. Hillary wants TIME, not space. She needs more time to throw everything she can think of at Obama to see what sticks.
"Giving her space" is giving her an ENTIRE MONTH to keep doing stuff like this.
Obama doesn't have to be confrontational about it. He just needs to start releasing more super delegate endorsements to demonstrate his control on the nomination.
Rachel Maddow asked this question and I agree: Where's the rush of super delegates?
Seriously, how many more hoops does Obama have to jump through before the supers step in to bring this thing to a close?
While on "Meet the Press," Obama said he learned that you have to rip the band-aid off sometimes. You can't always afford to peel it off slowly.
He's got the momentum. He's got the positive press. He's got this nomination on lock.
The time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself.
I know he doesn't want to offend Hillary supporters, but, if she's gonna act like this, he needs to rip that band-aid right off right now.
Let it sting for a month and work double-time to heal the party.
Most anti-Obama sentiment coming from some of Hillary's supporters is sour grapes. Nothing more. Obama has been more than respectful to Clinton throughout this entire process. He hasn't cheated or moved the goal posts. He hasn't belittled Hillary's candidacy or her supporters.
Obama's biggest "sin" is nothing more than the fact that he beat her fair and square. He played by the rules and will lead in every metric by the time this thing is over.
He deserves the support he'd get from the super delegates. Supers need to ratify the leader in pledged delegates. It's really simple.
Giving Hillary "space" just gives her more time to try and take him down.
Hillary ain't gonna bow out gracefully. She's not going to run a positive campaign. That's wishful thinking.
Hillary doesn't deserve "space" to heal her bruised ego. That's all we're really talking about, here.
And trust. . . she'll spin her wins in West Virginia and Kentucky for all their worth . . . namely, continuing the "black guy can't get white voters" meme. What happens if it starts to stick? What happens when the media stops talking about ending the race and starts talking about Obama, "the guy who can't lose the nomination, but can't win the general election?" I've heard a few people say that's what the Clintons are trying to push.
Howard Wolfson basically said as much on Hardball this evening.
Enough is enough! Time to put this thing to bed!
You cannot play nice with these people; all they understand is brute force.
The sharper they are cut off the better, and the more they will cooperate. They are like spoiled brats; they cannot be appeased, they must be punished.
shocking.
that would happen when only 8% of the state is Black..
LOL
Thank you! This made my evening!
"Ding, dong, the Witch is dead!"
Then, and only then, can this ' well she misspoke' bullshit will be eliminated. I'm tired of folks like KO trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, when we have a trail of RACEBAITING that goes back to Billy Shaheen.
Most accurate thing uttered on Coutdown was by Dana Milbank, who said, by Kentucky, she'll be saying ' Segregation Now, Segregation Forever'. Said mockingly, but the TRUTH behind the statement is still out there.
LOL
Sharpton: It's over
Al Sharpton, safely on the sidelines until now, weighs in in style in an interview with NY1:
As you know, I’ve been in the ministry of civil rights all my life but had dealings with entertainers because of James Brown. The worst thing in the world is when an entertainer doesn’t know when the show is over. The audience is gone, the lights are down, you’re getting ready to cut the mics off and you are still on the stage singing. It’s over, it’s all right, it’s over. Come sing another day, but this show is over, Sen. Clinton.
I'm a stickler of details.
Sue me.
Wolfson said today on Hardball that she will continue to fund the campaign if necessary. He didn't say by how much.
