it is racism, pure and simple.

it's a fact. i work around these "hard working white folks." i have truck drivers and packers and freight people coming to my warehouse all day.

they are white. they are "working class" (and i hate that "class" thing), but they are the people described as Obama's problem and Clinton's strength.

i can tell you that in northeastern oklahoma, they are racist and bigoted and that is that.

when a man stands in my office and tells me a goddamned ni**er joke without fear of retribution or condemnation, then people like that are just fucking lost.

it makes me so fucking angry i can hardly stand it. i hate these racist bastards. hate them. they cannot hear the message for the black. fuckem.

Unbelievable? Not so. We've been expecting these results for weeks.

Kentucky is in Appalachia, which has a LONG track record towards being racist.

Why is anyone surprise he's having troubles winning votes there?

It's due to the color of his SKIN. Hillary is losing Blacks by a MUCH larger number for reasons of HER OWN DOING, yet the media is harping on Hillary's "black problem".

Hypocritical much???

Heh heh...doesn't it just gall, that even with a 35 point lead she still can't catch up?

That must be terribly frustrating.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it's just too late.

I think that is the painful thing for Hillary. She had everything going for her at the outset, and she let it all slip away.

She let women down.

She let herself down.

Obama just passed the majority of pledged delegates.

On to McFool!!!

@ val,

Yeah! I heard about McKinnon some time ago. Apparently, he's read Obama's books and was inspired by them. I think they are also friends.

silly anonymous,

Popular vote is not a metric by which the Democratic nominee is determined. In addition, the popular vote numbers are not available for caucus states.

Hillary will not win Oregon. Even if she - by some miracle did - she would still be behind in all categories.

Your last point is moot.

Why do you bother? Do you really think you out-psyche anyone here? Golly, you're dumb.

Is anyone other than the stupidmongers at CNN even paying KY any attention?

Barack's getting creamed in KY right now. Looks like a 20-25 % point loss. Not good. A lot worse than expected.

Nervous about OR. If she wins that, even by a close margin, it's a game changer.

Wonder what the superdels do if Clinton wins the popular vote, something that's looking more and more likely.

White House denies story about attacking Iran

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Tuesday denied a published report in Israel that said President Bush intends to attack Iran before the end of his term in January.

A story in the Jerusalem Post quoted a "senior official" there as saying that Bush plans to attack Iran in the coming months. The story says the unidentified official claimed that a "senior member" of Bush's traveling entourage made the statement about attacking Iran in a closed meeting. Bush was in Israel last week.

The article also says the unnamed Bush official said that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney "were of the opinion that military action were called for."

"An article in today's Jerusalem Post about the president's position on Iran that quotes unnamed sources — quoting unnamed sources — is not worth the paper it's written on," White House press secretary Dana Perino said in a statement.

"Let me respond by reaffirming the policy of the administration: We, along with our international allies who want peace in the Middle East, remain opposed to Iran's ambitions to obtain a nuclear weapon," Perino said. "To that end, we are working to bring tough diplomatic and economic pressure on the Iranians to get them to change their behavior and to halt their uranium enrichment program."

McKinnon To Step Aside From McCain Effort

Mark McKinnon, the lead media consultant for Sen. John McCain's (Ariz.) presidential bid, is stepping down from that role -- making good on a pledge he made last year not to work against Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in the fall campaign.

"I just don't want to work against an Obama candidacy," McKinnon told Cox Washington bureau chief Ken Herman; electing Obama, he added, "would send a great message to the country and the world." McKinnon said at the time he would vote for McCain.

I think the focus, now should be on getting his message out to everyone, even in states he has a long shot winning in the General.

He's broken astronomical records with fundraising and there has to be a way to financially make that possible. I suppose the glitch will be this campaign financing stuff. If he opts into public federal funding, which would be significantly lower.

Or am I all wrong?

I wish the superdelegates would do so in mass.

It was one thing when there was a possibility for Clinton to win - from the point that she couldn't, it's was an entirely different matter.

yep. what else to expect. the primaries are one thing, something much different are the elections in fall.

democrats will vote for the democratic candidate. swing voters and independents will have to be won over... wait, obama has been winnig many of them already.

add a weak candidate like mccain, a republican party at its lowest and an incumbent republican president who almost everbody despises, then all that will result in the next president being a democrat. (and now we know why hillary is so furious.)

next president: barack obama.

very much ok for me.
