Also notable was that in Indiana, six in 10 Republicans who supported Clinton on Tuesday said they would vote for presumptive GOP nominee John McCain over Clinton in the fall, if that were the matchup. By contrast, most Republicans who voted for Obama said they would back him against McCain. And a slight majority of Republicans who voted for Clinton in Indiana told pollsters that she does not share their values, raising further questions about why they supported her.

I finally have come to the conclusion that the whole deal with her is that she, and in particular, her supporting staff absolutely fricking hate Obama's guts. It has all to do with them being completely incapable of accepting how well Obama and his team thoroughly ran this campaign.

Also, I can't help but think that hangers-on like Carville and Begala have shown their true southern racist roots.

I want the Clintons and their pals to ride off into the Bubba sunset and make room for a real bridge to the 21st century.

This one is great: Drop Out Already, Hillary - Stumped

Drop Out Already, Hillary

...

The Clinton quest for "new math" is getting comical. In a race that everyone understands is about accumulating delegates, she wants us to focus on anything but that metric. She's won the big states! She's carrying older states! She's carrying the less-educated-whites vote! She's doing well in hard-to-spell states! She's carrying states where Obama was not on the ballot! She'd win in China! If you took the number of people who voted for each candidate and multiplied it by Pi, then attributed to Hillary all votes won by her husband in 1996, she would win!

Then there is the core hypocrisy at the heart of the Clinton campaign, a hypocrisy she cannot reconcile. She says she is still in this because she wants every last Democrat in every last state -- including Michigan and Florida -- to have his or her say. Then, when that glorious democratic process ends on the sunny isle of Puerto Rico, she wants to have superdelegates overturn the will of the people.

The most astonishing metric of the week, in the aftermath of the conclusive drubbing she took in North Carolina, was $6.4 million, the amount Clinton lent her campaign out of her own pocket, at a time when it is now clear she could only win the nomination through some form of chicanery. This speaks to the unseemly pathologies driving Clinton, her presumptuous insistence that the White House belongs to her and Bill.

It would be one thing to graciously jog on, as Mike Huckabee did for a while even after John McCain had clearly won. But to continue bashing Obama, in a way that undermines his stature as the party's eventual nominee, is quite another. And then to pour your personal resources into the effort is mind-boggling.

Has she no shame? Or is she really vying to be McCain's running mate?

Hillary quote:

"whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me. There's a pattern emerging here"

If the ticket is Obama-Clinton, it just might swing me to the right.

Talking about Bill's past issues, is similar to talking about Rev. Wright......they're both non-issues in determining who will be the better candidate for President.

She's a Senator.

It wont be hard for her to get it all back.

I don't know who wrote this, but it's rather nasty and unfair, with the sort of unsupported charges found on, say, talk radio. She's a hypocrite? She's pathological? She'll engage in chicanery? She's shameful? Whatever.

The conivers pull off a new one. These two are sneaky slick.

Hillary doesn't have that much cash. It's the fatcat cash Billybob picks up from speaking engagements.

The Clintons just revealed a loophole around the election fund contribution laws. Since there are limits on how much can be given to a candidate, the Hillarybob Brigade have been ceding high value speaking engagements to Billybob. The money is then "loaned" for her election fund enabling her to pay her bills. Anyone can give Billybob a ton of cash which is then loaned to Hillarybob to fund her campaign. Now get this, Hilliarybob can't repat Billybob, he declares it as a loss and writes it off his income tax.

.....and now you know the rest of the coniving story.

I'd say all of her games with the numbers (trying to convince people that she is ahead) including by counting votes from Michigan where Obama was not on the ballet qualifies as chicanery.

Hillary Clinton is done
