Why is the new Hillary Clinton Rap "Takin' Back the White House" so much richer and more fulfilling than the recent triple shot of McCain Girls parodies?
Well, first of all, there's (I) a candlelit bubble bath, (II) champagne and (III) a raucous pajama party. I mean, a presidential campaign can only get so far without a smattering of supporters in tight camisoles bouncing on the bed. Right?
Starring soon-to-be sensations Rachael Drummond and Phillip Wilburn, and directed by Alex Drummond, this nasally performance not only has a low-fi charm, a down-home joie de vivre and some nicely coordinated Laker-Girl moves, it also could be another indicator of Hillary's inevitable turnaround. Or, not.

Now there is a beat anyone can dance too! I liked it.

WHEN THESE SO CALLED "elite" celebritires or former politicians declare themselves to support Obama, it is immediately "suspect" for me because Obama can't win the election. He doesnt have the numbers in the general election.
The wealthy "elite" who support him, many rich whites, I am suspicious of their support of Obama. I suspect they are "closet Republicans" and want to protect their wealth and keep the Bush legacy - thus, if Obama gets the nomination, McCain can beat him in the general election EASY. A Republican win ensures the continuation of the tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans put in place by Bush Republicans. They are only looking out for their own money, sorry Obama, its not about you at all.
WORKING CLASS AMERICANS KNOW BETTER. THEY KNOW HILLARY WILL GET THINGS DONE, HILLARY IS A FIGHTER AND A PROTECTOR, A MOTHER OF OUR NATION, AND SHE WILL RESTORE AMERICA AND BUILD A PROSPEROUS FUTURE FOR US ALL. GOD BLESS HILLARY AND GODBLESS AMERICA

I BETCHA Obama is thinking : How simple can they be? I openly admit my hate for white people in my books, I attend an anti-American racist church for 20 years, surround myself with racists and radical muslim terr0rist lovers around me, I commit myself to Afriica, I don't even salute the flag or allegience to USA, I ridicule their Christian faith, trample over everything they hold dear, and yet, the naiive youth, the black folk, and the *starbucks* crowd follow me like the rats follow the pied piper ... I can do no wrong. I am powerful, I am Obama

I'm not to crazy about sort-of rap music, but I liked it. Has a great beat and the girls have some excellent moves, and the words are are pretty cool. I believe this music was intended for young listeners, even though I'm old school I can dance to it.

THERE IS CLEAR REASON OBAMA CANNOT AND WILL NOT WIN a general election. And it's the same reason he WILL "win" the Dem nomination...
It's the swift boating media who refuses to vet Obama while constantly painting Clinton's every move with negative spin and holding her to a completely different set of standards than Obama.
You know, the same media who rubber-stamped the Bush-Cheney-Rice disaster into office using similar tactics.
THIS SHOCKING MEDIA DISPARITY is why millions of Dems would vote McCain or abstain to ensure our nation is safe.

“From the beginning, I wondered what Mr. Obama’s soaring rhetoric, his talk of a new politics and declarations that ‘we are the ones we’ve been waiting for' (waiting for to do what, exactly?) would mean to families troubled by lagging wages, insecure jobs and fear of losing health coverage. The answer, from Ohio and Pennsylvania, seems pretty clear: NOT MUCH. Mrs. Clinton has been able to stay in the race, against heavy odds, largely because her no-nonsense style, her obvious interest in the wonkish details of policy, resonate with many voters in a way that Mr. Obama’s eloquence does not.”

EXCELLENT POST BY : lois
"... The truth of the matter is that in Florida, where both Clinton & Obama were BOTH on the ballot, she beat him by 288,167 or 55-33%.
In Michigan, four candidates left their name on the ballot.(Dennis Kuchinich, Chris Dodd, Mike Gravel and Hillary). OBAMA PLANNED THE SCENARIO TO REMOVE HIS NAME BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WOULD LOSE. NOW HE WANTS TO COMPLAIN.
In Michigan Hillary received 328,151 votes and uncommitted received 216,043. WHY NOT SPLIT THE UNCOMMITTED BETWEEN THE OTHER 5 CANDIDATES INCLUDING EDWARDS, OBAMA, KUCHINICH, CHRIS DODD, AND MIKE GRAVEL AND CALL IT LIKE IT WAS VOTED..."

All you Obama haters are racist. He is the best candidate and is sincere about making the necessary changes. Hillary is the old washington politician that wants the power.

Commentary by Tony Snow on Larry King
But on the Democratic side ... you have got this charisma and emotion on the part of Obama. Can people stay in love with him from now until November? If so, it makesLi him a stronger candidate. If, on the other hand, the more you learn about him, the more you fall out of love, that's a campaign that could collapse.
Meanwhile, with Hillary Clinton, you have somebody who is battle tested. You have a political machine. You have a lot of experience. And you're going to have the ability to do whatever it takes to try to pull the party together. If you need that kind of machine operation, I think she does better.
Nice analysis..
The Obama machine is already crumbling and I have definitely fallen out of love...

I am a rural, small-town American. I’m not bitter. I don’t carry a gun but I do believe in the Holy Bible and God.
Hillary won in Pennsylvania, despite being outspent by Obama's “mega bucks” and bombardment on TV, radio, internet ads, phone calls, etc., etc., because we believe Hillary to be the better candidate --- pure and simple. True Americans cannot be bought!
Hillary was GREAT in the Pennsylvania debate --- Obama did quite poorly.
OBAMA HAS REFUSED TO DEBATE IN NORTH CAROLINA. He apparently can only read a pretty scripted speech from a teleprompter --- And he wants to run our country??? NO WAY!
Does he plan to have Jeremiah Wright spewing “God Damn America” from the White House? Are Obama’s frequent visitors going to be their anti-American, terrorist friends: bomber Ayers, Farrakhan, Rezko, among others?
We need someone to show respect to ALL Americans, regardless of where they live. WE HAVE 50 STATES --- NOT 48!
HILLARY 2008!

I hope the Democratic Party has learned their lesson to not let anyone run for the presidency as a Democrat without being fully vetted. Obama would NEVER have won in the states that he did if his poor judgment for 20 years had been revealed --- prior to half of America voting. Now the African-American community has their hopes up for someone who can never win the general election. The African-American community will see it as a racist thing when it is totally due to only one black man’s lack of judgment --- Barack Hussein Obama. They deserve the right to an African-American president --- but not this one! Obama has told too many lies about too many important issues.
Maybe we can still win with a "Clinton/Edwards" ticket.
