Sen. Hillary Clinton insists that this is no time to stop an election.
And her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has this to say to Democrats calling for a surrender to Sen. Barack Obama: “Chill Out.’’
“There are some folks saying, well, we ought to stop these elections,’’ Hillary Clinton tells a crowd. “I didn’t think we believed that in America.’’
Her husband maintains that the campaign is “strengthening’’ the Democratic Party: “Chill out,’’ he tells supporters, “We’re going to win this election.’’
“My attitude is that Sen. Clinton can run as long as she wants,’’ Obama says.






Comments
we all know Obama is going to win it all. anything the Clintons are doing can be attributed to face-saving and posturing for future political endeavors. just wish they would be a little more honest about it. i'm tired of the name Clinton.

Let's translate...
"Debate is good for the party" (when you are losing).
"Chill Out" (stop the Obama frenzy so Hill and I can figure out how to derail this twerp)
Classic Bill

Barak Hussein Obama is the political equivalent of the "dot-com" era - all hype and no substance. We are, for the first time, getting a snapshot of his character - and it's not a pretty picture.

Brian, you will be tired of the name Obama when the R's get through with him this fall. It's 1972 all over again when the extreme left wing has taken over the Democratic party. Obama is a shell of a man with no core principles. He is lazy as evidenced by his missed votes; he can't decide on important issues as evidenced by his "present" votes. He is a racist as evindenced by his silently agreeing with Rev Wright for 20 years. He is unethical as evidenced by his ties to Rezko. He is an opportunist that will be cut off at the knees this fall. The list goes on. I for one will not vote for a black David Duke!

I want to see how much longer Hillary can campaign without paying her bills. Hmmmm, Is that part of a presidential test?

Would bill clinton say "chill out" to Demos if he were in the lead in the race? I say "he" because he is running for a third term, unfortunately the women who support Hilary refuse to see this blatant ambiguity. How will his third term empower women's ego? I do not know. The Clintons have their good sides and bad sides, like all of us. But this campaign has revealed something very ugly about political avarice. They have served 8 years already in the White House. America is becoming oligarchy: Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton, perhaps after that Jeb Bush. America should stop preaching “democracy” around the world. She should preach what she practises advocate: oligarchy.

“My attitude is that Sen. Clinton can run as long as she wants,’’ Obama says.
Obama should have added "However, I'M turning my focus to John McCain and the November election".

Imagine if every time we turned on a cable news channel, instead of hearing a bunch of Republican 'commentators' saying how this is destroying the Democratic Party, we heard objective commentators or Democratic commentators saying how this is great for the party. I think people would feel much differently about this long nomination process.

i disagree. there is more to see & find out in this campaign, this very historic campaign, no one should encourage this thing to be over or done. Let it run it's course and let's see where the chips fall. these two need to continue to debate and the remaining states need to weigh in.

Classic! I hope the irony isn't lost on anyone that this was posted on a message board! What a silly post.

R. Henley - Obama is a shell of a man? What does that make you, who would cast such a heavy stone?
Posted by: Brian | March 31, 2008 12:43 PM
There goes Bill again! Which Clinton is running for Prez??? AAhhh who cares?
My vote is for Barack Hussein OBAMA!!!!
Posted by: BanginChelsea | March 31, 2008 12:53 PM
Patrick,
Is that all you have? Repeating, like a parrot, the same sad GOP taglines on every post on the Swamp? Get a life. It is too bad that HRC lost this nomination process. But it is over. Get on with it already and stop parroting the GOP talking points.
Anyone who has been paying attention for the last 6 months knows that BO is more substance than hype. He has clearly laid out plans for all of the key aspects of his platform and to say otherwise is just willfully ignorant.
Posted by: Jimmy | March 31, 2008 12:53 PM
The obama supporters do need to chill out. They are the ones calling for Hillary to step aside.The race is far from over and as Hillary said ' she is in it to win it' and she will. Go Hillary!!!

Democrats to Bill - "Chill Bill".

On the campaign trail, Obama is now running against three Clintons. Two of them should definitely drop out.
Posted by: tony.s | March 31, 2008 2:11 PM
If the Clintons really believe that each vote counts and the race should continue, then why are they asking Obama's pledged delegates to switch to their side and negate the will of the voters that their pledges represents. It is this two faced approach to politics in saying anything to win that has cost Hillary support. I think America is tired of Clintons, Bushes and Cheneys manipulating the truth.
As to misrembering Bosnia. I could make a thousand trips and the one trip where sniper fire occurred would be clearly etched in my memory. She lied so lets call it that.

To Mr. Henley:
You wouldn't vote for a black anything. You're obviously still lamenting Duke's loss, and misplacing your racist tendencies. Go back to Fox News where you belong.
Posted by: Sancho | March 31, 2008 2:26 PM
Note how Obama looked down when he was saying he felt she should stay in the race.
D' ya think the 'calls for HIlary to quit' came from anywhere but Camp Obama?
Shameful.
When's he gonna apologize for calling everyone who disagrees with his candidacy at this point racist--Bill, Hilary, Geraldine, and the rude comments about Chelsea?
Posted by: golden oldie | March 31, 2008 3:32 PM
I voted for Hillary in Florida. I wish I could have seen THEN how they (yes "they") would scrap the country for their personal ambition.
HOWARD DEAN: STEP IN!!
Split the Florida Vote
Split the Michigan Vote
Then put an END to this travesty

Obama is our Savior. Barak and Reverend Wright are Right, God D*** america. Now is the time to rally around Barak and Michelle and make them proud! No more so called elections where typical white people vote! And news flash america, Barak is right, your typical white american is a racist! Obama will apologize to our Muslim brothers for arrogant american policies of hate and slavery. Only Obama can forgive an evil nation founded on slavery. REPARATIONS NOW!

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)
If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)
Best regards

Caucuses are undemocratic and BOGUS! And Texas proves it.

DON'T BE DUPED !!!
Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.
But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. "Carpe diem" (harvest the day).
I think Hillary Clinton see's a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it's time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children's future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don't want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama's. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.
Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 2 and 3 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON'T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton's offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama's place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.
Fortunately the Clinton's have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton's. Only the Clinton's are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.
"This is not a game" (Hillary Clinton)

“Why do I have to keep proving to people that I am not a liar?!” -Hillary Rodham Clinton, 2000
Yes, Hillary Clinton does lie. And, Hillary will continue to lie, but thank goodness for that. So, "chill out" and let this woman lie. She's going to get caught; just you wait and see: http://theseedsof9-11.com

Everyone does need to chill out and let us let the voters of the ten primary states have their say. This race is a dead heat in terms of percentage- and NEITHER candidate has been able to win solely on pledged delegates. And then there's Florida and Michigan. Without a re vote, whoever wins the nomination will have the stain of disenfranchising votes on their candidacy.
Howard Dean and the DNC have made a big mess of things with how they are handling Florida and Michigan. What a shame.
And if super delegates are going to be forced to follow the pledged delegates--then should it not be that they should follow how their states voted? Isn't this more fair? And so shouldn't Senators Kerry and Kennedy cast their vote for Clinton?

Chill Out? Say what you want about Bill Clinton's presidency but as an ex president he is nothing but an embarassment.
Hillary cannot win the nomination but the Clintons will try every underhanded illegal, low down tactic to try and deliver it to her. This was supposed to be a coronation not an election but I guess the Obama people and millions of other Americans never got the memo.
In the end the racist, inexeperienced political hack, Obama Bin Laden will get the nomination and have his ass handed to him bigtime in November as the nation once again says to the party of bigger government and safe harbor for vehement anti -Americanism, "no thanks...don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out."
