Hillary Clinton Votes

So am I the only one who thinks she did so for John McCain?

Note to White Women: Stop Your Bitchin'!

Give me a fucking break already. From Yahoo News:

In recent polls, Obama has had a significant edge among women. A Quinnipiac University poll released July 15 found women supported Obama over Republican John McCain, 55 percent to 36 percent. Among men, McCain had 47 percent and Obama 44 percent.

However, Obama hasn't had an advantage among independent women voters, who gave him 45 percent to 42 percent for McCain, well within the margin of error.

Obama also has work to do with some Clinton supporters. A recent poll by The Associated Press and Yahoo News found that just 12 percent of former Clinton supporters say they are excited about Obama.

"I'm not saying these women are bitter ... but they don't understand how to take this devotion and energy and put it behind the candidate who took her away from them," said Susie Tompkins Buell, a prominent Clinton fundraiser with deep reservations about Obama.

She said Obama must demonstrate his respect for Clinton — by working harder to help retire her campaign debt, for instance — and prove that he understands the concerns of (WHITE) female voters.

His "respect for Clinton," You gotta be fucking kidding me right? What exactly would confer "respect." Should he say "yes Missus," every time he sees her? Should he help her across busy road ways or lay his coat over a puddle for her? What?

As Professor Tracey said:

We are trying to win a damn election, there is no more time for your hurt feelings! Money needs to raised, phone calls need to be made, and votes need to be cast. I really don't get what they are waiting on. There is less than 100 days left until the election, how much longer is this game going to drag on?

Now while I'm not an Obama fan. And am seriously considering voting for Cynthia McKinney, I still can't abide by all this whining (or cow0towing on Obama's part) to thes over privileged, whining, sore losing White chicks. Like I said, give me a fucking break or in more colloquial terms: Man Up already.

Place Your Bets

Odds that:

- Hillary Clinton get the VP slot

- Barack Obama joins a Black church

- Barack Obama joins a multi-cultural church (50/50 Black vs. White with some Other thrown in)

- Barack Obama joins a multi-cultural church (more white with Hispanic, Black and some Asian thrown in)

- Barack Obama joins a multi-cultural church (more Hispanic than black or White and a sprinkling of Asians)

- Barack Obama joins a White church

- Barack Obama continues to distance himself from anything that smacks of Black nationalism

And the Foolishness Just Keeps Rolling Along

Obama Suggests Offer Maybe Clinton Can't Refuse

The money quote:

Historically after a campaign is done and you want to unify the party, particularly when you've had a strong opponent, you want to make sure you're putting that opponent in a strong position so that they can work to win an election in November. So, obviously, I would want to have a broad range of discussions with Senator Clinton about how I could make her feel good about
the process and have her on the team moving forward.

And the tom foolery continues...

Sigh.

Please tell me he's joking....

Quick Analysis

My point would have been proven unless 1 of 2 things happens tomorrow:

1. 183 Superdelegates come out tomorrow for Barack Obama, finally ending this thing
2. Hillary Clinton concedes (presumably b/c the "powers that be" have put pressure on her to do so.)

We shall see.

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!

Oh, Someone Finally Decided to Mention Clinton's Black Problem

Schneider: The troubling racial divide continues

(CNN) – It’s the mirror image of Barack Obama’s white working class voter problem – Hillary Clinton’s continuing troubles with black Democrats.

Obama pulled in 78 percent of the black vote in South Carolina’s January contest, 84 percent in Missouri’s February vote, 87 percent in Ohio’s March 4 primary and 90 percent in Pennsylvania last month.

Tuesday night, he pulled in 91 percent of North Carolina’s black primary voters, and 92 percent of Indiana’s, according to early exit polls – numbers that would pose a major challenge for any Democratic White House hopeful.

Ya Think?

Handicapping North Carolina and Illinois

I say:

North Carolina: Obama by 5
Indiana: Clinton by 9

Barack Obama is Pissing Me Off

Obama is pissing me off. I'm sorry, I know you want the job but you do not throw your pastor under the bus. You do not claim his comments are "ridiculous and destructive," because many, MANY Americans believes he's speaking the truth.

You do NOT get into a cage match with another Black man and allow the media to manipulate you. You do not fall for the BS that you somehow have to win "real Americans" i.e. White working class voters to win the nomination.

Like I said yesterday this is all a setup to ensure that Hillary gets the nod. Her people have been saying it will be decided on June 15. Please don't think that's an accident.

I will still vote for him if he is the nominee but I have lost much of my respect for him. You DO NOT throw Wright under the bus. If you can't stand up for your Pastor than who the hell can you stand up for? If you can't validate the beliefs of millions, without calling them "ridiculous or destructive," than what the hell do you stand for? I guess only White working class values matter...huh?

Like I said Black folk...are ya'll prepared for when they give this election to Clinton? Because that is what they are trying to do.

They're Going to Steal This Thing

I'm convinced now.

They (the Superdelegates) are going to steal this election.

I've said this any number of times before, that the only reason they haven't come full out for Obama is because they don't really want a Black candidate either. So they will sit on their hands and allow HRC to throw the "kitchen sink" at Obama and not do anything about it, hoping that enough muck will stick and they can say, "I know he leads in pledged delegates but he really isn't electable and we want to win in November. So sorry."

I'm convinved.

I will say this: I will gladly be proven wrong. But the Democratic party will rue the day they decided to torpedo the nomination of the first and arguably the last (for a very long time) viable Black candidate for president.

If they want to go the way of the Whigs, so be it. I will gladly help them get there.

Maya Angelou is Dead to Me

An Open Letter From Maya Angelou

Dear Friend:

I am writing to tell you about my friend, Hillary Clinton, and why I am standing with her in her campaign for the presidency. I know the kind of president Hillary Clinton will be because I know the person she is.

I am inspired by her courage and her honesty. She is a reliable and trustworthy person. She is someone I not only admire but one for whom I have profound affection.

Hillary does not waver in standing up for those who need a champion. She has always been a passionate protector of families. As a child, she was taught that all God’s children are equal, and as a mother, she understood that her child wasn’t safe unless all children were safe. As I wrote about Hillary recently in a praise song: “She is the prayer of every woman, and every man who longs for fair play, healthy families, good schools and a balanced economy.”

It may be easy to view Hillary Clinton through the narrow lens of those who would write her off or grind her down. Hillary sees us as we are, black and brown and white and yellow and pink and relishes our differences knowing that fundamentally we are all more alike than we are unalike. She is able to look through complexion and see community.

You can read the rest of this travesty here.

Sigh. I'm done. I'm so tired of Black folk with slave mentalities I don't know what to do. This is just ridiculous. I suppose if Clinton had called her a Nigger to her face she'd still be talking about, "She is able to look through complexion and see community."

When will Black folk learn.

Handicapping Pennsylvania

I say Hillary by 10.

Michael Moore Takes Hillary to the Woodshed

Via AMERICAblog:

From MichaelMoore.com:

[O]ver the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does -- AND the "church bulletin" once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!

This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!

Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you. You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds. And now to throw it all away for an office you can't win unless you smear the black man so much that the superdelegates cry "Uncle (Tom)" and give it all to you.

But that can't happen. You cast your die when you voted to start this bloody war. When you did that you were like Moses who lost it for a moment and, because of that, was prohibited from entering the Promised Land.

How sad for a country that wanted to see the first woman elected to the White House. That day will come -- but it won't be you.

Campaign Round-Up

- Pennsylvania polls and why Hillary could win and still lose

- Hillary Clinton is broke

- McCain and his "Republican Voodoo" econmoics

- Obama brings them out in Philly

- Superdelegates say eff the effing primaries

- And one more time for those who may have missed it:

A Plethora of Pennsylvnia Polls

For All of You Poll Junkies, here is a rundown of the latest Penn Polls:

April 6
ARG poll
Obama - 45%
Clinton - 45%

April 4
Pennsylvania poll
Obama - 38%
Clinton - 49%

April 3
Insider Advantage poll
Obama - 43%
Clinton - 45%

April 2
Quinnipac poll
Obama - 41%
Clinton - 50%

PPP Poll
Obama - 45%
Clinton - 43%

April 1
Survey USA Poll
Obama - 41%
Clinton - 53%

So there you have it. All that polling and we know absolutely nothing, with the exception that Clinton isn't leading by 20pts anymore. if you're wondering why I haven't been posting much about the race lately is because I'm burned out on this primary campaign. Barack Obama is the presumptive nominee. The rest of this primary is about assuaging this chick's and her husband's ego and keeping their power hungry dreams alive.

I will go back to talking about other things and will only talk politics here and there (like posting the updates from The Hillary Deathwatch)barring any major developments, until this primary season is over. I will however be on it for the General.
