AOL Straw Poll: March 31-April 7

HILLARY CLINTON '08

UNITED WE STAND!!! SUPPORT THE BEST CANDIDATE!

SHE'S OUR ONLY HOPE!!!

VOTE HILLARY '08
AMERICA'S CHOICE!!!

I found this good article on him:

This article saves and prints nicely. You can also email it. Get it
distributed to as many people as possible! McCain is an evil man and
must be stopped!

All of this nasty bickering back and forth really upsets my stomach. For the Americans that really care about their country, really need to dig deep down inside your soul and rise above this "silliness". We actually have two great candidates and I respect them both. Think about it we are all on the same side, aren't we? Do we really want another Bush presidency? Hell no!!!!!! We need to come together as Democrat's and rise above this, and concentrate on getting one of them in the White House. I did vote for Hillary, but I understand that something is happening in our country, and I personally find it very moving. For the first time people are coming out in record numbers to get involved, to be apart of something big, and no matter who you support, that is a truly amazing. We are experiencing one the most important elections in our lifetime and it saddens me that it has come to this; we as Democrat's have lost our focus. We must keep McCain out of office, WE WANT CHANGE, and that doesn't change depending on who you support either Clinton or Obama. And I listened to Obama's speech and I thought it was beautiful. With that said I feel Hillary Clinton is inspiring also (that's why I voted for her) I also feel she can bring great change also. Clinton and Obama essentially have the same proposals. For all the people that say they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination or if Clinton gets the nomination they just won't vote, they are missing the big picture and are not true democrats. Who ever gets the nomination should be supported, we need to come together as a nation now more than ever, and help bring change for our nation. With either Clinton or Obama.

GO HILLATY....THAT IS ALL

Ron Paul is the only candidate who represents the good American
people. Not only should you vote for him, but you should consider
dοnating to his campaign as well; even if it's just a small amount.
If he gets in and succeeds in getting rid of income tax, then you
will almost inevitably save more in the long run. To dοnate to his
campaign, go to http://www.ronpaul2008.com and click the dοnate
button.

Please watch the following videos. They are only 10 minutes each:

This is not a joke. Our country is in BIG TROUBLE. We are gradually
heading towards a fascist government. This means that we could
eventually wind up like China or the USSR. Don't delude yourself into
believing that's not true. It is. The only candidate who is
acknowledging this is Ron Paul. Do what you can to help him win. You
will benefit as his agenda involves correcting this problem.

If you still don't like Ron Paul, please do some thorough research on
him and all the other candidates. If you do that with an open mind,
you will see the truth behind what I have said.

UNITED WE STAND!

The Bush administration, unbenounced to the American Public, is
plotting to erase the borders between the USA and Canada along with
the borders between USA and Mexico. This is to form a new country
call THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION (A.K.A. NAU). This is will result the
the erasure of the constitution and cause all civil liberties to be
removed. This must be stopped. Do what you can to prevent it! Do it
before it's too late!

MISPELLED.....
GO HILLARY....THAT IS ALL

INSPIRING WORDS FROM DR. MAYA ANGELOU:

"You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at her wits end, but she has always risen, always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and the delight of her friends.

Hillary Clinton will not give up on you and all she asks of you is that you do not give up on her.

There is a world of difference between being a woman and being an old female. If you’re born a girl, grow up, and live long enough, you can become an old female. But, to become a woman is a serious matter. A woman takes responsibility for the time she takes up and the space she occupies.

Hillary Clinton is a woman. She has been there and done that and has still risen. She is in this race for the long haul. She intends to make a difference in our country.

She is the prayer of every woman and man who long for fair play, healthy families, good schools, and a balanced economy.

She declares she wants to see more smiles in the families, more courtesies between men and women, more honesty in the marketplace. Hillary Clinton intends to help our country to what it can become.

She means to rise.

She means to help our country rise. Don’t give up on her, ever.

In fact, if you help her to rise, you will rise with her and help her make this country a wonderful, wonderful place where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety, without crippling fear.

Rise Hillary.

Rise."

VOTE HILLARY '08
SHE'S OUR ONLY HOPE

THE PUNDITS:
Hillary Clinton will lose New Hampshire and the race will be over.
THE REALITY:
Hillary Clinton wins New Hampshire, defying the predictions and the
polls.

THE PUNDITS:
Hillary Clinton will lose the big states on Super Tuesday and the
race will be over.
THE REALITY:
Hillary Clinton wins the big states on Super Tuesday –and wins them
by double digits.

THE PUNDITS:
Hillary Clinton will lose Texas and possibly Ohio on March 4th and
the race will be over.
THE REALITY:
Hillary Clinton wins both Texas and Ohio on March 4 – and she wins
Ohio by double digits.

THE PUNDITS:
Despite Hillary's big victories on March 4, "the math" works
decisively against her and the race is essentially over.
THE REALITY:
The math is simple: neither candidate has reached the number of
delegates required to secure the nomination and either candidate can
win.

THE PUNDITS:
Barack Obama is substantially ahead in the pledged delegate count;
pledged delegates are the only measure of success; therefore the race
is essentially over.
THE REALITY:
The candidates are within fractions of one another on delegates;
Barack Obama needs super delegates to win; and a marginal pledged
delegate lead does not determine the outcome.

THE PUNDITS:
Barack Obama is substantially ahead in the popular vote; Florida and
Michigan don’t count; therefore the race is essentially over.
THE REALITY:
The popular vote is virtually tied; half of Barack Obama's narrow
vote advantage is from his home state; and his lead excludes Florida
and Michigan.

THE PUNDITS:
Once the remaining states vote, Barack Obama will be substantially
ahead in delegates and votes and the race will be over.
THE REALITY:
The race is a dead heat now and no one knows where things will end up
after millions of remaining voters in the upcoming states make their
choice.

THE PUNDITS:
Hillary Clinton's situation is dire; her campaign is struggling; her
supporters are disillusioned and desperate.
THE REALITY:
Hillary Clinton and her supporters are calm, confident, and focused
heading into the key state of PA, where she is running strong.

THE PUNDITS:
Hillary Clinton’s campaign lacks significant grassroots energy;
only one candidate has mobilized supporters to take action for the
campaign.
THE REALITY:
Hillary Clinton’s supporters across America have written letters,
blogged, donated tens of millions of dollars, volunteered millions of
hours and made millions of calls.

THE PUNDITS:
There is a loud and growing chorus of voices asking Hillary Clinton
to withdraw from the race.
THE REALITY:
Precisely the same number of voters (22%) think Barack Obama should
drop out of the race as Hillary Clinton.

THE PUNDITS:
Hillary Clinton is the candidate running a negative, divisive
campaign; she is throwing the "kitchen sink" at Barack Obama.
THE REALITY:
Barack Obama has been throwing the sink, the stove, the plates and
the garbage can at Hillary Clinton, attacking her integrity and
character every day.

THE PUNDITS:
For Hillary to win the nomination, super delegates will have to
"overturn the will of the people."
THE REALITY:
The will of the people is split and both candidates need - and are
making their case to - superdelegates.

THE PUNDITS:
Hillary Clinton is threatening to poach pledged delegates from Barack
Obama.
THE REALITY:
Barack Obama is reportedly already trying to poach pledged delegates
from Hillary Clinton.

THE PUNDITS:
Florida and Michigan’s voters won't be heard and their delegates
won’t be seated all because of complicated procedural roadblocks.
THE REALITY:
Barack Obama is intentionally disenfranchising voters in two critical
states for purely political reasons, namely, that he'll lose his small
advantage if they count.

THE PUNDITS:
Every single word or action from Hillary Clinton, her campaign, her
surrogates and her supporters is part of a calculated and cynical
political strategy.
THE REALITY:
Hillary Clinton is a loyal Democrat, a lifelong public servant, a
tireless and tenacious candidate, and is fighting hard - and fair -
to win with the help of millions of dedicated supporters.

MYTH: Barack Obama is running a positive campaign that will unite
Americans.

FACT: Barack Obama and his advisers have conducted a divisive "full
assault" on Hillary's character.

While talking a lot about the politics of hope, change and unity,
Sen. Obama and his campaign have been conducting a relentless and
singularly personal assault on Hillary's character. They have
blanketed big states with false negative mailers and radio ads and
have described Hillary and her campaign as "disingenuous,"
"divisive," "untruthful," "dishonest," "polarizing," "calculating,"
"saying whatever it takes to win," "attempting to deceive the
American people," "one of the most secretive in America,"
“deliberately misleading,” “literally willing to do anything to
win,” and “playing politics with war."

This "full assault" on Hillary's integrity and character has reached
a new peak since Hillary's victories on March 4th. One of Sen.
Obama's top surrogates equated President Clinton with Joe McCarthy;
another called Hillary a "monster;" and his campaign manager held an
angry conference call claiming that Hillary is "deeply flawed" and
has "character issues." That's neither unifying nor hopeful. If Sen.
Obama really is the prohibitive favorite some say he is, these
negative attacks make absolutely no sense. Why would a frontrunner
seek to attack and divide? If Sen. Obama can't unify Democrats in a
primary, how can he unify Americans in a general election?

=====

MYTH: The delegate "math" works decisively against Hillary.

FACT: The delegate math reflects an extremely close race that either
candidate can win.

"The Math" is actually very simple: with hundreds of delegates still
uncommitted, NEITHER candidate has reached the number of delegates
required to secure the nomination. And EITHER candidate can reach the
required number in the coming weeks and months. That is indisputable.
No amount of editorials, articles, blog posts, charts, graphs,
calculations, formulas, or projections will change the basic fact
that either candidate can win. Pundits who confidently proclaim that
Hillary has no hope of winning because of "the math," have counted
Hillary out of this race three times before. Each time they based
their sober assessments on 'facts' and 'realities' -- and each time
they were wrong.

In a campaign with dozens of unexpected twists and turns, bold
prognostications should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Look no further than Sen. Obama's "full assault" on Hillary's
character to judge whether he thinks this election is over. The fact
is this: Hillary and Sen. Obama are locked in a very close,
hard-fought campaign and Hillary is demonstrating precisely the
strength of character required of a president. Her resilience in the
face of adversity, her faith in the voters, her capacity to rise to
every challenge, are part of the reason she is the best general
election candidate for Democrats. And it is why she is increasingly
strong against John McCain in the polls at the same time that Sen.
Obama is dropping against Sen. McCain.

=====

MYTH: For Hillary to win, super delegates must "overturn the will of
the people."

FACT: The race is virtually tied, the "will of the people" is split,
and both candidates need super delegates to win.

The Obama campaign and Sen. Obama's surrogates have engaged in a
sustained public relations effort to convince people that the
election is over and that if super delegates perform their
established role of choosing a candidate who they believe will make
the best nominee and president, they are somehow "overturning the
will of the people." They have the audacity to make this argument
while quietly and systematically courting those very same super
delegates. They are courting them because they know that Sen. Obama
needs super delegates to win. The Obama spin is being parroted daily
by pundits, but it is patently false. The race is virtually tied; the
"will of the people" is split. By virtually every measure, Hillary and
Sen. Obama are neck and neck -- separated by less than 130 of the more
than 3,100 delegates committed thus far and less than 1% of the 27
million+ votes cast, including Florida and Michigan. Less than 1%.

An incremental advantage for one candidate or the other is hardly a
reason for super delegates to change the rules mid-game. Despite the
Obama campaign's aggressive spin and pressure, the RULES require
super delegates to exercise their best independent judgment, and that
is what they will do. Even Sen. Obama's top strategist agrees they
should. If not, then why don't prominent Obama endorsers like
Senators Kerry (MA) and Kennedy (MA), and Governors Patrick (MA),
Napolitano (AZ) and Richardson (NM) follow the will of their
constituents and switch their support to Hillary? After all, she won
their states. And if this is truly about the "will of the people,"
then Sen. Obama's short-sighted tactic to run out the clock on a
revote in Florida and Michigan accomplishes exactly two things: it
disenfranchises Florida and Michigan's voters; and it hurts Democrats
in a general election. Apparently, for the Obama campaign, the "will
of the people" is just words.

Hillary 08!

Yes, She Will!!

Statements by Obama:

In initially defending his pastor Wright:

"I was not present when those controversial statements were made"

In his so called historic speech two weeks later:

" I may have been present and heard some of the controversial statements". Which is it? Were you there or not?

"My white grandmother is a "typical white person"

In his book Dreams of my father: "I have a persuasive animosity towards my mothers race".

I cannot disown my pastor.

These statements are out of his own mouth.

Wake up America!

Do you want to elect a man who is tied to Ayers, Rezko and a racist pastor that he is involved with for over 20 years and won't disown him?

What other skeltons are in his closet?

Don't vote OBama!!!

Please rally for Hillary Clinton. She will be are best bet against McCain. Obama has a problem regarding judgment and his choice for churches. I wonder if he will ever pledge to the flag and this country.

OBAMA SAID HE WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN HIS PASTOR WENT ON THOSE TIRADES. IN 20 YEARS HE HAD NOT CLUE WHAT THIS MAN WAS SAYING???THAT HAS GOT TO BE A LIE, AND I HAVE TO WONDER IF OBAMA'S VIEWS ARE THE SAME. IF HE HAD NO CLUE, DO WE WANT SOMEONE WWHO IS THAT UNAWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND HIM AS PRESIDENT?? OR IS HE A LIAR. WE'VE SUFFERED UNDER A LIAR FOR 8 YRS. ENOUGH!!

why doesn't the media report the aol straw poll results?
