In other news, that might be bad for Clinton, Ferraro fires back.
"Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world, you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up," Ferraro said. "Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"

You're shitting me?
Jesus. The remaining respect I had for Geraldine Ferraro just evaporated. Clinton would have to be galactically stupid not to ask for her resignation now.
It's sort of like people who say "I'm not racist, I was just raised to call them 'n*****' and I don't see why I should change. I'm not racist."

From her video she is a fox news person (which is scary) and she'll say what she wants to say. So basically she'll sling mud as she sees fit and you can't stop her bullshit train.

Sigh. She was the Democratic Party's VP nominee in 1984 and a member of Senator Clinton's finance committee. She just goes on Fox News because not all the Democrats have gotten the Fox News is teh biased.
More to the point, it's aimed at everyone who thinks affirmative action can or has taken their job/acceptance to a major university away from them.
Apropos of nothing, your sig makes me vaguely uncomfortable.
72% of Clinton voters would be unsatisfied if Obama is the Democratic nominee.
Obama wins the young and (barely) loses the old:
65 years of age and older: Clinton 56%, Obama 44%
17-29 years of age: Obama 67%, Clinton 32%
Mississippian's like the dual ticket...
Six in 10 Obama voters said he should pick Clinton for vice president if he wins the nomination; four in 10 Clinton voters said she should pick Obama as her running mate if she wins.
...but think Obama is more qualified.
53% felt Obama is more qualified to be commander-in-chief, 43% felt Clinton was more qualified to be commander-in-chief
That doesn't contradict what I said, watch the video man, she is rabid. She seems to be projecting and has a victim complex.

I interpreted as you thinking she works for them. Sorry if that was wrong.
Nah, he's better off going "WTF Hillary. You're down in pledge delegates and the popular vote, your firewall failed, and you seem to think I'm a slackjawed moron. At this point you should be backpedaling so hard on your offensive campaign so the democrats might have a chance at the whitehouse, not acting like you have anything to offer me whatsoever."

What a stupidly worded poll-question. If you ask people during the primaries that, of course they'll say no. I wouldn't read too much into it.
No I wasn't saying that, just saying that she appears on Fox news (even in the video mentioning shes a corespondant for them, so one of their supposed experts). With Rush Limbaugh pushing for Clinton, her fox news credentials and her opinions seem a little fishy.

Tradition demands it be posted, though at this point its pretty clearly just noise.
I wonder, is that a good thing?
When it rains it pours, if Spitzer steps down, the guy in line for Lieutentant governor is a republican, so that would be one less delegate for clinton. Sorry if this has been posted before.

no, i hate this kind of whiny bitching about politics
WAAHHH WAAHHH MY CANDIDATE DIDN'T GET THE NOMINATION I QUIT WAAAAHH
although to be honest, i would bet you'd see a loooott more people doing this in the obama camp if he loses than in the hillary camp. young voters are the absolute worst voting bloc to try and build a campaign on.
and also the most annoying.
On the plus side, the fact Ferraro is a goddam moron and has decide to shoot her mouth of now not only gives Obama a boost (he sacked his top foreign policy aid for speaking out of turn and immediately apologizing, Clinton plans to do these things and her people truly stand by them) it gives the Obama campaign a chance to openly address this now.
Either make your case that she's an idiot nicely and try and turn the people that feel that way, or let the media tear her apart and hope to shame some people into dropping their idiotic ideas in this specific case and accept anyone that won't wasn't coming to you anyway.
Uhh. Well, judging from recent events, I think we have pretty damn good reson to whine. I mean, just these past few months I hate hillary so much, I think I can mentally link to irrational republicans. And it's scary.
He meant more the stupid closet racist boomers. Though to be fair, as much I loathe Hillary at this point if it came to Clinton/McCain I'd vote Clinton just because the alternative is worse.
edit: Fixed unfortunate typo
I know that, in my Japanese class at college, there this older woman taking the course. I heard the tail end of a conversation a few weeks back where she mentioned that if Obama gets the nom, she'll vote for McCain.
I think it might be the factor of "he's too young and inexperienced and I want an old person because old = EXPERIENCE!" Though I can't imagine why you would make that decision with McCain being the other option.

edit: wait, misread.
1) Vocally plan on voting for the other party, get into the voting booth, and realize "hey shit the other party kind of sucks" and vote for their party's candidate
2) not vote
no, i meant young voters.
i would personally vote for obama over hillary, but good Lord the hate and vitriol that you guys (and other young obama supporters) spew in her direction is hilarious and retarded all at once. some of it is deserved, but come on, obama's a politician too. i know you guys are in fantasy obama la la land right now, so this'll probably fall on deaf ears, but if he ends up being president the chances of him living up to the hype you've built around him is about zero percent.
he's a politician, he'll act like one. seesh.
and hillary, for all her faults, isn't the antichrist. a hillary led America probably wouldn't be all that much worse or better than an obama led America.

In my own case, I am looking for a few specific things that Obama has said he would do with the office, that Clinton will not. These things are very very important to me. More important than healthcare reform at this point in time.
It is crucial to my own interests that Obama get the office, not because of his personality cult or rhetoric, but his policy. I cannot vote for Clinton for those very reasons.
