To no avail.

"The Clinton campaign launched a last-ditch effort over the last few days to stop Kennedy's move, orchestrating a flood of phone calls to Kennedy from sources ranging from union chiefs to his Massachusetts constituents." -Politico

  • I prefer the term Hill-Billary.

    They want it too badly, and they are stooping to Bushian / Ripusoffican tactics against one of there own. Not good.

    Not saying the Dems are angles.

  • I think the outcome of any desired possibility is inversely proportional to its degree of desirability. If you want something too much, you won't get it.

  • We're seeing a Bill Clinton most of us haven't seen before, and it's a bit alarming. For as much as I admired him while in office for what he accomplished, especially for the economy and world relations, I've heard another very dark side to the Clintons, and perhaps we're just now seeing a tiny part of it. I agree with the touching statement Caroline Kennedy said regarding Barak Obama, as inspiring and giving hope.

  • Obama is trying to force a different kind of politics, less trivial, less negative more hopeful. How audacious!

    All the scrutiny is solely being applied to the Clinton campaign, usually resulting in outrageous distortion, and not one hint is being applied to Obama.

    If Obama was truly hurt by race being injected, he wouldn't have had Jesse Jackson, Jr. inject it the day after NH; or allow Michael Eric Dyson to state any criticism of Obama is indirectly racist or Clinton voters are likely racist; have his office create the SC primary memo listing baseless accusations of racism; refuse to denounce the race-baiting Spanish ad by UNITE-HERE in Nevada after the "truce"; allow supporter, Shirley Franklin (Mayor of Atlanta) to attack Bill by racializing "fairy tale" at the MLK ceremony; or allow his staunch supporter and SC Democratic Chair, Dick Harpootlian, to refer to Bill Clinton as Lee Atwater.

    (Check the links included in the comment titled "Race" by "Davidson" at Correntwire)

    Bill Clinton was wrong with his remark. That is certain. But to think Obama didn't engage in ugly baiting simply b/c the press didn't report it, is ridiculous. Hell, they're using "anonymous" sources for crying out loud! This is the same press that buried Gore. Don't let them hijack the election, yet again.

    And no, I'm an Edwards supporter (Yes, still), but this smearing of the Clintons while refusing to ever hold Obama accountable for the ugly campaign he's run is insane.

  • Mrs. Clinton was here in Davie FL last night and said that obviously Floridians felt like their vote counts. I'm a Florida Democrat. My vote did not count because the DNC took away our delegates, silencing our VOTE so for us, yesterday was a NON-EVENT. It wasn't even worth voting. I only voted because there were local issues on the ballot that applied to me. Please tell me what Mrs. Cinton meant by "obviously Floridians feel their vote counts" because every Democratic voter I know is FURIOUS because our vote DID NOT COUNT, and some I know are even going to switch parties because they feel so disenfanchised by the DNC. Furthermore, it's interesting that Mrs. Clinton would throw a rally in Davie Florida following yesterday's primary and glad-hand Floridians but if you go to her main web site, where she lists all the individual States' web sites in support of her, she does not even HAVE a Florida support web site. Clearly she had written Florida off as being relevant to her campaign but then sails in here in the 11th hour to congratulate Floridians for voting for her anyway. Look for yourself; do YOU see a Florida web site here on her main campaign site? http://www.hillaryclinton.com/help/contact/Default.aspx
