Hillary Proves Obama Wrong, Wins Indiana

We are again being pounded by the Obama-clones to give up faith in Hillary and walk away from her campaign.

Do you remember New Hampshire? They got that wrong!

Do you remember Texas and Ohio? They got that wrong!

Do you remember Pennsylvania? They got that wrong!

Do you remember Indiana? They got that wrong, too.

Again and again the media plays into Obama’s empty promises and Hillary keeps fighting back.

We are the ones who can keep her working to win the nomination. Between now and Denver there are literally thousands of ways big and small that Obama can slip up (how many more Rev. Wrights are out there?) or Hillary can score a victory. Don’t let those opportunities slip away.

With all the media negativity, there is something you can do to feel better about this campaign, about yourself, and about Hillary’s chances of being our nominee. . .

Contribute. She needs money to compete in West Virginia. She needs you to tell her to keep working for us.

Here’s her web site: hillaryclinton.com. Please visit and give what you can. . .

    Hillary was supposed to have wrapped up the nomination by February 5th. The Clinton’s have the strongest brand the Democratic Party has seen in the last 50 years with the largest political machine and infrastructure imaginable, and she has been beaten hands down in every category by this newcomer Obama, What happened? Through the vetting process people have begun to realize she is not Bill. Hillary has higher negatives than any other politician aside from maybe Bush. Many who know her well and were in the first Clinton administration with her abandoned her and now support Obama. William Safire once labeled her a congenital liar, and through the vetting process now everyone is beginning to see the Hillary he saw. The jury is still out on whether or not Obama is the next coming for the democratic party, what is certain is Hillary’s fall from grace was self induced Because by her words and actions, many now perceive her as a self serving, dishonest, pandering politician who is not fit to be President.

    Alonzo, have you ever expressed a single, original thought in your lifetime? It appears you have memorized all the generic critiques of Hillary Clinton made during the past 15 years by Rush Limbaugh and Bill Safire.

    Your attempt to summarize her situation is so full of cliches, you could have been writing about anyone: “self serving, dishonest, pandering politician?” Whew! Now that took a lot of politicial insight, didn’t it? Were you writing about your congressman?

    Fact is, you don’t know a damn thing about Hillary Clinton except that you hate her and your gaseous heroes in the media hate her and you — the perfect ditto-head — just said what they told you to say.

    When you can think for yourself, do some research, come back and try to say something original.

    Rake, it seems like you know the scoop as to the biggest difficulty HRC’s campaign is now facing after the NC drubbing and the failure to win big in Indiana: money $$$$.

    She has lent her campaign over $ll million thus far and will have to lend much more, her big contributors are either tapped out or reluctant to pour good money after bad, campaign debts are mounting, including $4.5 million to Mark Penn, staff salaries, including health insurance and workers’ comp are in arrears, and worst of all, the law requires that all monies lent by a candidate to his/her campaign must be reimbursed to the candidate before the convention–otherwise the monies become a non-recoverable donation to the campaign. Mitt Romney didn’t even bother to try to recover the hugh loans he made to his Presidential bid for that reason.

    I may be off a bit on some of the above numbers, but an article today in Time gives the general dismal financial picture HRC faces now.

    So, from this perspective, if one wants HRC to continue her campaign, Rake’s appeal for donations is right on target, I guess.
