I was expecting more fire and brandt from her speech tonight but it sound concilliatory. What gives and what are your critique of the speech.
I just died in your arms tonight, must have been something you said.
"I came."

She never had any hope of winning IMOhonkyjoe
Seriously? I think she's been right in there for a long time, but I think everyone is starting to concede that Obama will most likely get the Dem nomination in a couple months.
She's conceding? Yay, this calls for victory music! (Keep in mind that I'd take McCain over her, which is quite a statement, given how people negatively associate him and his policies with Bush.)Video_Game_KingShe isn't conceding though...

Screw you, I already have the damn music. Don't make me pull out sad Fire Emblem music.
I think both Hilary AND Obama realize that Obama is going to win. I mean he is barely talking about her anymore, he is more focused on beating mcain at this point.
Obama 08! (Even though I am not old enough to vote...and I'm in Japan....although technically since I'm an American and Japanese citizen I would be able to vote for both as long as I don't kill anyone and get sent to court)
She would really have to win the rest of the states with 100% of the vote to surpass Obama in the delegate race, all she is doing now is hurting the party by dragging this on.SaintLeonidas
The Demo's can't be hurt at this point as it's obviously a one-horse-race.
Policies aside, I am really surprised that she is not beating out a black man in the US. In the UK during the Reagan era you had a female (Maggie Thatcher) in power, and she was the equivalent to a US Republican! Based on that alone, I would think that the ignorant US populace would prefer a white woman over a black man, but that does not appear to be the case- Amazing! Could it be that the US redneck contingency of today is indeed more informed and intelligent than I give them credit for?...or is it really just that they would rather see a man in power than a woman, in which case I give them too much credit?! Obviously McCain is too much of an embarrassment for anyone to take seriously, so what gives?!pOOPYpANTZBecause much of the "redneck contingency" doesn't have any say in the Democratic primaries.

yeah, none of their votes are even going towards any democratic candidate.

Thank you for that, and pardon my lack of knowledge about US politics. The climate you are portraying seems very skewed- A (seemingly) major portion of the populace isn't even part of the vote? I don't quite understand? Is it just that certain States aren't allowed to vote for certain parties or what is going on? Note that this will be part of my A-Level dissertation...

what I'm saying is no redneck is going out to vote for anyone in the democratic party, they spend all there time focusing on the republican party. This is the primaries, its a time for dems to pick there favorite candidate and republicans to vote for theirs.

It is interesting that you should say this as I have spoken to a great many Americans online who claim that they always voted Republican in the past, but for the first time they are voting Democratic...so much so to the point that it would almost seem like a paradigm shift to me...what do you make of this?

well take a look at what republicans have done in the last 8 years, a lot of people dont want them for another 4, a lot of people want a change.
She never had any hope of winning IMOhonkyjoe
i love it when the forum shifts.
not more than a month ago the general consesus was Obama has no chance, now everyone is like "Ive been saying for fifteen years now that Hilary wont win!" lol
Face it people, the republicans are gonna win it. At first, it wasnt looking good for us. But then we all rallied behind one candidate very quickly, taking us out of the eye of scrutiny and allowing ourselves to recooperate. Meanwhile, the democrats have waged a near unending war against eachother that has brought out quite a lot of ammo for the republicans and it has caused a huge shift in the political scheme. McCain now leads in general election polling, against both candidates, at last check. Obama will be hard pressed to recover, and McCain himself is no pushover, so when he's going up against McCain instead of hillary, dont expect things to drasticly improve for dems all of a sudden.Tolwan
