1. Apparently, the voters were more scared of a black man |
|
than of Clinton's own ruinous trade deals and lies.

21. Rendell himself said that there were a lot of racists in PA |
|
And that was weeks ago. I figured he was just laying out the cover story for his own Diebold shenanigans, but then there were also comments about the state being "basically Alabama between Pittsburgh and Philly".

4. Add Barack's numbers to Hillary's numbers in PA. |
|
And then compare them to the GOP's numbers. Then do it in all the states that have voted so far. Sounds like a victory to me.

9. They picked the candidate who they thought could win the GE. They picked the candidate |
|
they said was best on the economy. Deal with it.Can't you let the Hillary folks celebrate one victory without dumpiong on it? Why do you insist that all must worship Obama? Some folks just don't like him just like some don't like Hillary.There are reasons to like and dislike both. Some like one more than another.And that opinion should be respected and not mocked. None of the states that voted for Obama have been derided.

11. Like hell they haven't... |
|
a big group of his supporters (young voters) has constantly been mocked by her supporters and by Hillary herself. I'm in that constituency and I've been offended by quite a bit of the patronizing BS from Hillary and the people around her campaign, including Ed "Kool-Aid" Rendell.

17. Yes, I've seen lots of "Kool-Aid" |
|
and other derogatory remarks, calling Obama's younger supporters a cult and such. It happens all the damn time around here, in fact it's part of the typical lingo by some of the most ardent Clinton supporters on this site.

14. Really, the nastiness about this victory is just petty. Even if you feel |
|
"insulted" it would be classy not to respond in what you think is in kind.I feel "mocked" and 'derided' by the so called "young voters" every day who inform me that I am "wallowing in 70's era feminism(as though that were a bad thing) and that baby boomers should be "disregareded and are past "usefulness".But I have never mocked any of the states that voted for Obama.

ever mocked the states that she's won. In fact, on another thread someone tried to claim there was voter fraud in Philly but I said I'll just assume she won fair and square. People take the conspiracy theories too far.

although it's obvious that Obama has trouble with white, so-called "blue collar" voters. The question is, would they flock to McCain or do they simply like Hillary more than Obama and would vote for Obama in a match-up with McCain? That is the question that no one knows the answer to, but it is the million dollar question so to speak.

10. Hillary has had strong long-term support there. |
|
And I would not denigrate it. There is a significant number of people who support Hillary, and who will not be swayed while she is running.

22. They don't have as many War Dead, so her war support is no big deal to them. |
