Matthew Drudge has some good follow-ups on this at his site. Billary is really bordering on the illegal now. Today's big story is that she made a special exception to get Elton John inside the country. He is a foreign national with a questionable moral history and anyone else with his record would not have been allowed in. Plus just like Slick Willie's Chinese slush fund, you aren't supposed to use foreign money in the election.
By next week I really expect indictments or at least some kind of federal injunction against the Shillary campain. The witch has crossed the line and shouldn't be getting special treatment. The Democratic Party is truly being ripped apart. Everyone I know who supports Barack totally despises the Hillbots and vice-versa. When are the Clintonistas going to finally throw the towel in?

Do you guys know why ABC News' political page lists Obama's popular vote lead at about 100,000? Isn't it about 700,000 votes?

Yes, you are right. I tried to e-mail ABC about this but was not successful. I also read an opinion by Christy Hardin Smith of FDL today describing the contest as having a "razor thin edge". And have you watched any CNN lately? Some people just will not admit that it's over for Clinton. It's all Clinton spin and propaganda, but it's heartening that almost every day now someone comes out with some fact or argument to prove them wrong.

" By getting her rich super-donors to threaten to stop funding the DCCC, Hillary is threatening to severely damage our efforts to hold the House in the fall." Yes, but I'm still confused. How is Hillary getting them to stop funding? She owns them? They think she's going into the Oval Office as their pet goat? They are part of a vast conspiracy ofthe cryptic NeoLib Coporatist Party? I sitll don't get it. What's the powerful connection? Does she have nasty pictures of them doing things Governor Spitzer wouldn't do?

"How is Hillary getting them to stop funding? She owns them?"
In a way yes. Remember her campaign is filled with lobbyists who funnel in millions of dollars in order to buy corrupt access. Shillary is literally selling leverage to direct the White House the same way Slick Willy sold access to power and sex. The Clintonistas and their sychophant followers have screwed up the whole election process because they've infused it with complete deceit and back-room deals.

This one paragraph from Open Left sums it up quite nicely:
According to the best available count, Obama currently leads among pledged delegates 1,415.5 to 1,253.5, a margin of 162 with 18 delegates currently for Edwards and 566 left to be determined. In terms of percentages, this translates to Obama 52.7%--46.7% Clinton, with 82.6% reporting. In any other campaign, if a candidate led by 6% with 83% reporting, all major news outlets would project that candidate as the winner.
We should begin referring to Obama as the presumptive Democratic nominee.

How strange is it that Pelosi (unless I missed it) has not responded to the letter sent by Clinton supporters? I would think if anybody threatened me in that manner I would have very harsh words in response. Does Pelosi not see it as a threat OR worse does she see it as a real threat and therefore remains silent? Either way it speaks volumns about Pelosi and those 20 supporters. The supporters think they can buy our government (they are probably right) and Pelosi once again backs down (whatever her reasons).

She has responded in a statement by her spokesman:
“Speaker Pelosi is confident that superdelegates will choose between Senators Clinton or Obama -- our two strong candidates -- before the convention in August. That choice will be based on many considerations, including respecting the decisions of millions of Americans who have voted in primaries and participated in caucuses. The Speaker believes it would do great harm to the Democratic Party if superdelegates are perceived to overturn the will of the voters. This has been her position throughout this primary season, regardless of who was ahead at any particular point in delegates or votes.”
Let her take her big money people with her. The Obama campaign has proven that if you take the time to actually engage the public, and to develop a personal vision and then articulate it well, you can bring in more cash from "the little people". I know these concepts are completely foreign to the Scoop Jacksonian/Reaganite/DLC side of the party, but they work. If Hildo took half the time she spends on calculating and triangulating and script writing and put it toward crafting a sincere message and connecting with voters, she wouldn't have to resort to this type of shit in the first place.
Let her and the ones like her whose influence can be bought for the price of a large campaign donation keep showing just how nasty and self-centered they are. They can take their toys and run home for all I care. The Internet is starting to make them irrelevant. And they're about to get a whole lot more irrelevant when President Obama is sworn in in January.
Never! The Clintons reinforced that yesterday. Big dog Bill was out and made it damn clear that Hillary WILL NOT throw in the towel. Hillary made it damn clear yesterday by saying "it is a spirited fight". Neither will concede until the last vote is counted. Too bad, I always liked Bill but no more.

Last I heard, it was perfectly right to withhold funding from someone you disagree with. Haven't we done that enough (or, similarly, threatened to fund the opponent) with Democratic leaders we disagree with? Yet in our case, it's a noble expression of grassroots power, while in their case, they're just corrupt pigs bent on destroying the Democratic Party.

i think there is a world of difference. Withhold money from a candidate you disagree with is one thing but to threaten to withhold money from all potential candidates UNLESS you get want you want in --this case for Pelosi to retract her words--is blackmail. In one instance you disagree with the candidate, in the other you blackmail someone to get their agreement.

That may be, but I thought that our goal was to try and reduce the big donors' influence anyway. So if they left, more small donors would fill the gap (so good for democracy) and it would also show that the big donors were no more bound to give money for policies they disliked than the rest of us.

This is very interesting reading. No one seems to be talking about the Peter Paul vs. The Clinton lawsuit that is ongoing. It seems the Clintons are being implicated in a lawsuit, and now an interesting video has been shown as evidence. The media is selective, again, in how they are carrying these elections. The Clinton camp keeps shouting Rezko, but Obama has not been sued by anyone in a lawsuit. It is the Clinton couple that has been taken into court, and people who are going to vote for their President, this year, has a right to know about this serious matter.
What I wonder about, considering the enormous wealth and influence of these 20 supporters, is how it will affect the super delegates? If these 20 suppporters are gutsy enough to think they can influence the Speaker of House, don't you think they are out there trying to influence super delegates? I mean it doesn't have to be cash payments, maybe just all of a sudden your business gets better, contacts that were closed are now open etc.

I think perhaps the time has come to evaluate the whole superdelegate idea, not the current mess, but the original mess. I think basically the DNC going forward with the concept of superdelegates was a badly flawed idea and we are now seeing the worst possible outcome of this bad idea. It is really nothing but a bunch of pols trying to build in the ability to fiddle the publics right to express an opinion. The whole idea that whole states should not have their delgates seated as some sort of punishment for not abiding by the rules of the DNC is rediculous; but even more so is the idea that having done this with everyones agreement; now bitch Hillary doesn't like the outcome so we should change the rules again is obscene. The superdelegate crap is just another way to put a political fix into an election. It stinks to high heaven and I sincerely hope that enough decent thinking people will be left to see that the whole idea is flushed for good. Maybe its tied in with the whole election process. The time is long past when we need an electoral college or superdelegates or restriction to a two party system. What is wrong with having every qualified man and woman vote and count their vote as they made it. Noi more fiddling about differences between getting whole or partial numbers of delegates JUST COUNT THE VOTE! Actually you could do very nicely without the whole party mechanisms so that many flacks could be freed to go out and find honest work. Certainly the fact that Hillary can so easily attempt to meddle in the process because of her insane conviction that she is "owed" the nomination would be stopped because of no superdelegates; surely the bitter experiences of the last seven years should be enough for decent thinking people to work to remove all party interference in the nominating and election processes.

Now that Hillary has been nailed in an outright fabrication of her role in Bosnia, it is time to remind ourselves of another, even more galling, fantasy that Hillary tried to sell to voters.
After Sept. 11, Hillary had a problem. New Yorkers were desperately focused on their own need for protection and they were saddled with a senator who was not one of them — an Arkansan, or was it a Chicagoan?
Interviewed on the “Today Show” one week after Sept. 11, she spun an elaborate yarn. The kindest thing we could say was that it was a fantasy. Or a fabrication.
She said that Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit. She said that this move saved Chelsea’s life. But Chelsea told Talk magazine that she was in a friend’s apartment four miles from ground zero when the first plane hit. Her friend called her, waking her up, and told her to turn on the TV. On television, she saw the second plane hit, disproving Hillary’s claim that “she heard the plane hit. She heard it. She did.”
So why did Hillary make up the story about Chelsea? Most likely to was because her co-senator (and implicit rival for the voters’ affection), a real New Yorker, Charles Schumer (D), spoke of his daughter, who attended Stuyvesant High School, located next to the Trade Center, being at real risk on Sept. 11. Hillary needed to make herself part of the scene.
She invented the entire story on national television, the “Today Show,” and didn’t blink an eye.
Her fabrication on the “Today Show” was no unique foray. It is her standard M.O. It gives us pause in evaluating all of her stories and calls into question her entire credibility.

If you really want to win in November start talking about party unity. Obama has run his whole campaign about being a uniter and you guys just do nothing but bash and alienate Clinton supporters that you need in the fall to win. While you are having a great time the candidate your really helping is John McCain. Obamas message is peaceful in and kind and his supporters is hateful ....it's a loosing combination. It's time for you guys to reach out.
Interesting that you give a complete pass to Speaker Pelosi for alienating the party base.
Really, what's next -- Hilary had lunch with her investment advisor and now the stock market is in turmoil, ergo, the next recession is Hilary's fault? Hilary has a mortgage, so she's responsible for the current credit crisis?

The Democratic Party is not in a tailspin. It's having a long overdue realignment. This stuff is all ideological growing pains, at most. We're being forced to deal with issues that have been put on the back burner since the 60s. And this is going to happen whether Hillary Clinton and her supporters face facts or not.
Clinton is the candidate of the Scoop Jackson/Reaganite/DLC crowd. She and her surrogates are like wounded dogs that have been cornered. They're snarling and growling, even at those who are trying to help. She is doing not only the party, but herself a disservice. She could have left the race an elder stateswoman, with her head held high and with a decent amount of respect from not only Democrats, but a majority of Americans. Instead, she's hanging on to the bitter end, and is ruining her chances to be remembered favorably. She could simply admit that she and her campaign staff messed it up. Had they taken a realistic view of the race from the beginning, planning for a full campaign instead of arrogantly assuming that she would easily sail toward the nomination, she wouldn't have to resort to threats now.

There's blame enough all around, but the continual spinelessness of the Democratic leadership is the essential problem, John, not Clinton's campaign.

But also, some of Jeremiah Wright's past writings in church bulletins are being "exposed": and touted as "unAmerican"--gee, wonder who's pushing that?
I will henceforth refer to the Clintons, Ma Clinton, Pa Clinton and the apparently eternal twelve year old "I don't answer questions from the evil press" Chelsea as the "Clinton Crime Family".
There rap goes a little like this: "If you want yer mah-jo-rity in yer congress pra-tected...Ya betta shut yer Obama lovin' trap yer Pelosi."

Really, what's next -- Hilary had lunch with her investment advisor and now the stock market is in turmoil, ergo, the next recession is Hilary's fault? Hilary has a mortgage, so she's responsible for the current credit crisis?
Enough already. This site has become a prime example of how and why the Democratic party is in a tailspin, and how even in this year it's even money as to whether a Republican or a Democrat will take the White House.
NOBODY IS WINNING THIS BATTLE OF NEGATIVITY EXCEPT THE INVISIBLE JOHN MCCAIN.
Interesting that you give Clinton a complete pass for throwing a public tantrum. Who's alienating the base here?
The Democratic Party is not in a tailspin. It's having a long overdue realignment. This stuff is all ideological growing pains, at most. We're being forced to deal with issues that have been put on the back burner since the 60s. And this is going to happen whether Hillary Clinton and her supporters face facts or not.
Clinton is the candidate of the Scoop Jackson/Reaganite/DLC crowd. She and her surrogates are like wounded dogs that have been cornered. They're snarling and growling, even at those who are trying to help. She is doing not only the party, but herself a disservice. She could have left the race an elder stateswoman, with her head held high and with a decent amount of respect from not only Democrats, but a majority of Americans. Instead, she's hanging on to the bitter end, and is ruining her chances to be remembered favorably. She could simply admit that she and her campaign staff messed it up. Had they taken a realistic view of the race from the beginning, planning for a full campaign instead of arrogantly assuming that she would easily sail toward the nomination, she wouldn't have to resort to threats now.
It is this chain, rather than the DNA chain that demonstrates there is no superior race.
All I see from this self described superior man is a superior mess being made.
.
Pelosi's statement was far too little, too late, and she shouldn't have been surprised the Clinton campaign pushed back.
There's blame enough all around, but the continual spinelessness of the Democratic leadership is the essential problem, John, not Clinton's campaign.
The Houston Chronicle's cartoonist Nick Anderson has a good one today:

There is nothing "rich" about disgusting hate sites.
