Every time Clinton mentioned “experience”, she made a much stronger case for “I’m not as qualified as McCain” than she ever did for “I’m more qualified than Obama.” Once she made that the centerpiece of her campaign, she deserved to lose the nomination, because it ruined her for the general election.

The proposal is much too late. Weinstein should be raising money for Obama’s general election campaign. If he really wants to do Clinton a favor, he should try to sell her on the idea that she can accomplish more as a Senator-for-life than as a presidential candidate who isn’t going to win the primary, and wouldn’t win the general if the primary were handed to her.

As for Michigan, they have nobody to blame but themselves and don’t get a vote outside the superdelegates.

Finally, as for Democrats doing stuff wrong, the only thing is this, Democrats will win in this election unless a third party can provide a better deal. If you are a republican reading this, prepare for a bloodbath in November.

All this money Harvey wants to raise should be donated to the party for THE GENERAL ELECTION.

Democrats don’t lose elections because of imperfect candidates. They lose because of their inability to unite the party around the nominee.

No candidate is perfect.

Hillary is the past, Obama is the future. Get on board or its 4 more years of Republican rule in Washington.

You might be right, Mel. My question is, why do the Democrats continually do such incredibly stupid stuff that manages to lose elections for them that they should have won easily! I refer, of course, to the 2004 Presidential election. If anybody was ripe for defeat, it was george W. Bush. Yet once again, the Democratas snatched defeat from the jaws of almost certain victory.

Here they go again? Oh well. At least they’ll have yet another excuse to whine about how they got done wrong… again, and again, and again….

It *is* just one big coincidence, isn’t it?

Well, isn’t it?

No, wait! Somebody mananged to make this whole farce within the Democratic party the Republicans’ fault! Amazing, but true. You just can’t make this crap up, folks. Nobody would believe it.

We may be seeing Hillary’s campaign calm now. But hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The Clintons have their sights set. They are a powerhouse in their own right.

Sen. Obama is a force unto himself and can survive, but he and the democratic party, and all his supporters, will be tested.

Obama’s campaign is now also looking past the nomination to the general election, and more of my critique and comments will go in that direction too.

The decision here would be to seat only the Michigan superdelegates because they should be counted no matter what happens, and because superdelegates can make their decision at anytime. As for Florida, allow for a revote, but it has to be done in a caucus setting on or before July 1st.

For the record, this is disenfranchisement, but it is the Republicans in the state house, senate, and governor that are being disenfranchised.

I really don’t know if this is post-worthy.

So let’s stop talking about people’s rights and start talking tuchas here: Harvey is going to lose — big — and he don’t like to lose.

Ha ha, boo-hoo Harvey. You big baby.

Here you go (2nd paragraph):

It’s a bummer– I was a John Edwards man and have issues with both Clinton and Obama. But the scorched-earth approach the Clintons have taken in the last six weeks has really turned me off. And co-opting goons like Harvey Weinstein and suddenly pressing the Florida and Michigan issues, which she’d dismissed when she was in the lead, ain’t helping.

And if Weinstein is truly so concerned with fairness shouldn’t he also be all over the Super Delegates possibly trying to usurp the popular vote? Nothing will be more destructive to the Democratic party or cause more dissension. THAT would even more closely mimic 2000 - People in a higher political seat of power trying to sway the vote despite the wishes of the actual voters. Only this time, it’s even worse - it won’t just be the popular vote, it will be the popular vote AND the delegates’ votes thrown aside for the ridiculous “Super Delegates.”

Do you have a link to a site that quotes Clinton saying that or can you tell me where you saw it? I’m not being confrontational with you nor do I disbelieve you, I just want the story.

Thanks!
