As a avid reader of this blog (and a WASP - white anglo-saxon Protestant), and a "older" female (58), AND a Obamacan - thank heavens it's almost over... but the devil is in the details - Hillary is VERY capable of trying to torpedo Barack... wound him so badly that McCain will win and she will have another shot at 2012.... As a "former" life long Republican, the ONLY thing that would stop me for voting for Barack is if some idiot talks him into putting her on the ticket... goodbye Bill and Hill - you have stayed way too long at the party.. what many Democrats don't get is the the Clintons were the BEST thing that EVER happens to the Republican Party.. think back, it was Bill and his frat party-like first two years in office that resulted in the GOP taking over the House [for the first time in 40 years], increasing Governors, etc, literally, the Clinton 8 years were banner years for Republicans... But as the slogan goes, it's time for a change! Barack in the WH, Bill shown for what all of us Republicans were always saying - a liar and a cheat in all aspects, and Hillary sent back to NY knowing that the Democratic Party does not belong to her.... Having Hillary lose, Bill disgraced, and Barack as the next President of the US - my heart is very happy!

Well, I'm glad I didn't watch that. But Simpson has been far gone this entire election cycle.

God yes, I heard it but couldn't believe my f-ing ears!

Carole Simpson has gone off the deep end! Ain't that a b%t%h!

As much as we disdain HHH Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, did anybody see Carole Simpson on Larry King tonight?

Carole Simpson done really sold her soul to the devil! I'm paraphrasing, and essentially her statement was, "A BLACK MAN CAN'T WIN. HILLARY CAN WIN." Even Hillary-Lovin Lanny Davis couldn't swallow dat shyt. He defended Barack's electability.

Dear JJP Community,

In the past, I have endorsed a possible Obama-Clinton Ticket...I hereby WITHDRAW that suggestion in light of dayum stupidity on the part of the clintons in the aftermath of NC/Indiana results. They continue to resort to tactics that leave even Edward Kennedy takin a shyt on them (the clintons). They no longer deserve to be heard, they deserve to be politically BURIED.

Hey Jack,

Stephanie was on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell. It was during 12-1pm central time!

Stephanie Tubb Jones was defending Hillary & saying Hillary was only "quoting" from an article written in USA Today! And Obama's the one who has been playing the race card.

She was very defensive! Talk about being blind! Gaah!

His office backtracked on it later I think.

Ted Kennedy's remarks can be seen on Poltical Capital with Al Hunt on Bloomberg Television. If you have DirectTv, that's Channel 353.

Matthews said Hillary has only raised 1 million since the NC/IN primary.

Chris Matthews is literally laughing at HRC right in the face of her friend and supporter Hillary Rosen.

Saw opening minutes of Hardball.

Tweety says that not only did Ted Kennedy DING the ' Unity Ticket',but he said that Kennedy said Hillpatine wasn't WORTHY to be on the ticket.

Oh, I can't wait to see the video of that later on tonight.

Bill Clinton got into a words fight with a voter. The woman said she remembered that Hillary worked hard on a Health Care initiative before his administration prior to getting their votes and as soon as she stepped into the White House she did not deliver on the promise. lol Bill almost passed out. lol

andyfrombrooklyn,

that crap Krugman is writing...well, makes me think about what kind of Black woman his wife is...I know, if it was me...his ass would be sleeping on the couch, if not out the house, with the BS he's been writing.

Ms. Martin,

I read on another blog that Tubbs-Jones was once again doing her best Mammy Sambo interpretation.

I don't know how to do video, but I will send the request on.

I will search for the transcript.

At this point, I'm willing to search and find graduate video students to cut some commercials for a primary challenger to Mammy Tubbs-Jones.

craig,

I told you, Capeheart plucks my last Black nerve everytime I see him.

And the truth of the matter is, written by one of Andrew Sullivan's readers no less - the main reason they're on tv is because the tv producers realized that it was whacked, having ALL WHITE PANELS discussing a Black candidate for President. The reader was like, ' where do they think they'll be if Obama loses?'

I was like, tell me about it.

Tiki was actually pushing he issue. When Ridley didn't "get it" Tiki gave him the nastiness look I've seen from him.

Re: Rasmussen Calls the Democratic Race for Obama

rikyrah — Fri, 09 May 2008 14:44:00 -0000

no longer have any use for Jonathan Capehart and John Ridley. Not that I ever did, but I just want to say it aloud.

That's all.

craig,

what did Mr. Pansy Horn-Rimmed Glasses say today?

And, as for Ridley, I'll say this..

It's patently absurd to not have one, but TWO Toms on Morning Joe. Blech. Between Tiki and Ridley, I just can't take it.

Re: Rasmussen Calls the Democratic Race for Obama

Craig Hickman — Fri, 09 May 2008 14:37:00 -0000

truthseeker, they were both defending I got the white votes remarks. Ridley even compared it to the bitter remarks just to keep that out there. He said it several times. Boykin triangulated a bit, but he could've been firmer as well.

In short, none of them see or are willing to admit to the race baiting.

Ironically, the only talking heads that are calling it what it is are white.

I find that fascinating at this stage of the game.

Perhaps that's exactly the way it will have the most positive impact on those who need to hear it.

Ms Martin,

I haven't seen it but that is unbelievable considering Andrea Mitchell( a Clinton suppoter) said she could NOT believe Clinton said that and she did not think it was right!

Rikyrah, Jack, DNA, CPL

Would someone please post Stephanie Tubbs-Jones interview with Andrea Mitchell today defending HRC on the "hard working Americans, white Americans statement.

It was unbelievable, she even said Obama was playing the race card when Obama said let's make history. She said he was speaking to black Americans.
