maddow is a contrarian. she has an irrational soft/blind spot for hillary. looking forward to hillary's exit so those on our side who have been afflicted by the hillary bias can be healed.

Michelle Bernard stood on the truth again tonight.

Maddow disappointed, she went with the feminist meme.

rikyrah,

Her old one was really bad as well. She needs to hook up with Michelle's stylist.

On a shallow note I don't like Tanya's new weave.

I'm loving Ron Reagan tonight. I also have to give props to the Hillary supporter because Dan is basically making fun of her and Hillary still being in the campaign and she is staying on message. That takes a lot of resolve. Maybe she can work for Obama now.

Has Cinton ever congratulated Obama on any of his victories?

The site above is concerned about sexism yet the main sponsor is "Bar-B-Cutie"?

Totally agree with Anon 8:25.

Also - Hillary's email tonight to supporters:

Dear Friend,

Once again tonight, you and I stood together and showed America what we're made of.

Every time we win another state, we prove something about ourselves and about our country. And did we ever prove something tonight in Kentucky.

We showed America that the voters know what the "experts" will never understand -- that in our great democracy, elections are about more than candidates running, pundits commenting, or ads blaring.

They're about every one of us having his or her say about the path we choose as a nation. The people of Kentucky have declared that this race isn't over yet, and I'm listening to them -- and to you.

Your unshakeable commitment to that principle and your willingness to keep forging ahead inspire me every day. Let's keep supporting one another in these crucial days ahead.

All the best,

Hillary

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Let's face it: we know from exit polling that about 20% of voters in KY voted against Obama due to racism.

Hillary could have spoken out against it; Hillary SHOULD have spoken out against it.

The very fact that she didn't merits our contempt.

As was noted in an earlier post, Hillary has brought racism into this campaign far more than anyone else. And the argument that the Republicans would have done it anyway misses the point.

If the Republicans had injected racism like the Clintons they would have been identified and rejected by the vast majority of people.

Imagine if McCain had made the statement that Clinton did about appealing to white, hardworking people. McCain would have been forced to drop out and the GOP would have had to choose another nominee.

Republican racism is marginalized. But when a Democrat, particularly one with the last name of Clinton engages in racism, then that is something far worse.

I believe that Obama will still win the general election, and win big, but he would have had a far easier pathway without Hillary's racism.

I think you could learn a lesson or two from Obama. He doesn't mess with the foolishness of racists or assume that working class people are racist as you do,"The white, working class (read, bigoted)voters". He keeps on working and striving for everyone. C'mon folks get on board!!!
