After Obama picked up additional delegates yesterday from Iowa and California, Clinton's "big wins" two weeks ago have been wiped out and she is now further behind than she was on March 3rd, the day before the Ohio and Texas votes.
Oh, yeah...
Speaking of Texas, the caucus results are going heavily in Obama's favor, so Hillary's "big win" there is now just a fleeting memory, too. But she's not taking the loss sitting down.
"Stuff is also going on in Texas under the radar. The Clinton camp is demanding that all the signatures of people who came to the Texas caucus be verified before being finalized in two weeks. This could be the first step before a lawsuit. Whatever the legal merits of the case are (1) Texas has been operating like this for decades and Bill Clinton did fine under these rules in 1992 and didn't complain and (2) suing your own party over procedural matters makes you look like a sore loser, which in politics is not a good thing."

All of her "experience" hasn't taught her to get out of the game while she has a chance to salvage something for the future. Hillary, you're slipping.
Not really much of a surprise is it? Dirty campaign tactics have become Clinton calling cards, why not throw sore loser into the mix?
She doesn't care if the party is destroyed in the pursuit of her goals. She's hanging around, hoping a Clinton pushed scandal will bring down Obama or the super delegates will overturn the will of the people. Her divisive tactics are a disgrace to the party, plain and simple.

As they keep making clear to anyone who's payiing attention, Bill and Hillary are all about the Clintons, and the hell with anyone and everyone else. We've just lived through 8 years of self-serving Bush, which followed 8 years of self-serving Clinton, which followed 4 mediocre years of Bush-daddy. Enough, already!

Hillary doesn't care if the whole country is destroyed in the pursuit of her goals. All the racism of the last few weeks, and Obama has not been guilty of any racism. From the attacks on his middle name, a name he did not choose himself, trying to paint him as some radical Muslim to now painting him as some radical Christian, the smears on Michelle Obama, the photo Bill Clinton sent to the Drudge Report of Obama in an African outfit, this is now all about whipping up the KKK fever against blacks, using fear tactics to get whites to drop their support of Obama.
Sure Hillary expects all this will destroy Obama and whisk her into the White House, but at what expense to race relations? Oh Hillary -- the Klan would be so proud of you!
his year, we have a black man, a white woman, a Mormon, a thrice-married Catholic and an ordained Baptist minister all running for president. What a country. Yes, we have really come a long way, baby.
Or have we?
The day after Barack Obama trounced Hillary Clinton in the South Carolina Democrat primary, her husband (our first "black" president) dismissed the victory by pointing out that Jesse Jackson won the same primary in 1984 and 1988. Following on the heels of previous attempts to inject racial politics into his wife's fight for the Democrat presidential nomination, clearly, Bubba was doing his best to marginalize Obama's candidacy by implying that Obama is the Jesse Jackson of 2008, a black candidate who has no chance of actually being elected.
This was Clinton's mentor, his hero, his teacher. Fulbright's party had been the party of racism, slavery and the Ku Klux Klan. Today's Democrats like to believe this ugly side of their party is gone. The truth is that it is simply hidden beneath a shroud of liberal language and lofty sounding rhetoric, and Bill Clinton is Exhibit A in the Dems-R-Bigots party.
Former Klansman Robert Byrd, who served as the Democrat's Senate Majority leader in the 1970s, still sits in the U.S. Senate.

Exactly my friend!! You're right on the mark. You win a cigar, although not ones Billy Clinton uses.
I've pretty much lost all respect for the Clintons at this point, and I use to admire Bill, even bought his damn book. It's too bad he threw his lot with Hillary, she's shown that she will stop at nothing at getting the nomination, even if that means bringing down the Democratic Party with her (though that would be a good thing, a third party would nice).
