we can discuss this more after nov 2008.... Barack Hussein Obama might be clean looking, but he is not black enough.... he will not be elected. as for myself i am just so happy the guys down in texas help keep hillary in the race. i really enjoy the mudslinging.... it's a real hoot. Barack Hussein Obama, who wouldn't hurt a flea with words is sure coming on strong now in his attacks on hillary. but, personally, i have no love for hillary or willy so i appreciate Barack Hussein Obama trying to tear her apart. his time will come also.....

Hillary Hits Obama: I Would Have Quit Church Tuesday, March 25, 2008 2:51 PM By: Newsmax Staff Article Font Size Hillary Clinton said she would have left her church if her pastor had uttered the kind of inflammatory remarks made by Barack Obama’s former pastor Jeremiah Wright at his Chicago church. “He would not have been my pastor,” Clinton said Tuesday in an interview with reporters and editors at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “You don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.” Clinton likened Rev. Wright’s controversial sermons to “hate speech.” She told the Tribune-Review that she “spoke out against” Don Imus, who was fired from his radio and TV shows after making racially insensitive comments, “saying that hate speech was unacceptable in any setting, and I believe that. “I just think you have to speak out against that. You certainly have to do that, if not explicitly, then implicitly by getting up and moving.” Hillary also discussed her recent erroneous recollection that she and her traveling party came under sniper fire when their plane landed in Bosnia in 1996, saying “I was sleep-deprived, and I misspoke.” And on the topic of earmarks, Clinton told the Tribune-Review: “I am proud of my earmarks. Part of the reason that I won New York by 67 percent are my earmarks.”

Hillary Wants Delegates to Flip Tuesday, March 25, 2008 2:51 PM By: Newsmax Staff Article Font Size In a move that might be seen as desperate, Hillary Clinton has suggested that delegates pledged to Barack Obama due to primary and caucus results are free to “flip” and vote for her instead. During a meeting with the editorial board of the Philadelphia Daily News on Monday, Hillary was asked what she would do if Obama continues to hold the lead in pledged delegates. He currently has edge of 1,413 pledged delegates to Clinton’s 1,242, according to the latest CNN count. “I just don’t think this is over yet, and I don’t think that it is smart for us to take a position that might disadvantage us in November,” she said. “And also remember that pledged delegates in most states are not pledged. You know, there is no requirement that anybody vote for anybody. They’re just like superdelegates.” Two weeks ago Clinton made a similar statement, telling Newsweek magazine: “Even elected and caucus delegates are not required to stay with whomever they are pledged to.” Hillary’s senior adviser Harold Ickes defended Hillary’s Monday remarks in a conference call with reporters. “I think what Mrs. Clinton was trying to make clear was that no delegate is required by party rules to vote for the candidate for which they're pledged,” said Ickes. “I mean obviously circumstances can change, and people's minds can change about the viability of a particular candidate and that's permitted now under our rules ever since the 1980 convention.” Ickes added that while the rules allowed a campaign to petition pledged delegates to “flip,” the Clinton camp had not sought to do so. But Jake Tapper of ABC News noted: “This notion that the Clinton campaign will try to flip pledged delegates has been floated and knocked down before, but I'm failing to arrive at any other interpretation for what she means here other than: We will convince pledged delegates to vote for us, as is perfectly within Democratic Party rules, despite the voters who elected them to support Obama.”
