You think she's been brainwashed? Or is merely deluded? Has your vaunted respect for her somehow suddenly vanished? What's up with that? So why do you think Hillary Clinton is spending so much time campaigning for Obama?

You think she’s been brainwashed? Or is merely deluded?

Has your vaunted respect for her somehow suddenly vanished?

What’s up with that?

What misogyny? It seems the devastating sexist treatment of Hillary Clinton by Barack Obama is no more than a distant memory. Political hacks or not, there is no way to characterize this memory loss as anything other than lack of principle and the willingness to do anything, say anything and take any abuse to win. Which means these hacks had no moral compass in the beginning. As a Hillary supporter, I'm disgusted. I have ALREADY VOTED FOR McCAIN-PALIN. The misogyny? What misogyny?

He was calling the punditry to account for their stupidity, viciousness and smears. He was also restating their false arguments to knock them down.

I was really into her campaign, and I always liked hearing President Clinton speak, but I am no longer a member of their party! Never again! Once they went over to the BO side, our relationship ended, big time and permanently! The support of Senator Clinton by the likes of Davis was so lame and shallow it was disgraceful.

Lanny, just like the gutless Bill Richardson, was for sale. Lost all respect for Lanny after reading his article a month or so ago about how he had to "go through a 12 step program" process to come around to the Jelly Man. Yeah right. Twelve step program in about 12 hours? Give me a break. Thought he was a thoughtful and honest individual. But there I go thinking again... McAnnie Carmel Baracuda, you are exactly right.

In an Obama presidency you won't see the wealth of the very rich being spread around. They know how to protect and hide their assets. They have lawyers who specialize in tax laws. There's a reason that Obama has the support of so many law firms. Have you heard of the "Death tax"? Obama wants to reinstate it.

But hasn't the past month proven that the superdelegates were right to line up behind Obama? He's raising more money than any candidate in history... he's drawing bigger crowds than any candidate in history... and he's on the verge of a strong victory. Sen. Clinton simply could not have inspired this degree of enthusiasm in the electorate. The Democratic primary and caucus process worked the way it was intended to work.
