**EXCERPT**

WHITE MARSH, Maryland (CNN) — Hillary Clinton on Monday explained away Barack Obama's clean sweep of the weekend's caucuses and primaries as a product of a caucus system that favors "activists" and, in the case of the Louisiana primary, an energized African-American community.

She told reporters who had gathered to watch her tour a General Motors plant here that "everybody knew, you all knew, what the likely outcome of these recent contests were."

"These are caucus states by and large, or in the case of Louisiana, you know, a very strong and very proud African-American electorate, which I totally respect and understand."

Imagine if Bush lost Louisiana and said that. Can you say R-A-C-I-S-T?

Dismisses weekend losses? No, she dismisses her Latino campaign manager and hires on a black one. Don’t tell me she isn’t playing to the masses.

GEEZ! All W. Bush had to do was speak at Bob Jones University and he was automatically labeled RACIST!

Yes but if she had won....

Didn't she go down to FLA to crow about winning when she was the only candidate on the ballot?

Hillary Clinton and graciousness don't seem to be acquainted.

No kidding, "we only lost because a bunch of black people voted for him".

Hillary in "Sein-Language:

"I lost Louisiana because of, you know, a very strong and very proud African-American electorate.......Not that there's anything wrong with that."

“No, she dismisses her Latino campaign manager and hires on a black one.”

No one in the masses cares who a campaign manager is. Policy wonks do. People who read The Hill and Politico do. Freepers almost do. More people in Washington care about Jim Zorn then Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager.

Rather, Patti Solis Doyle, her former manager, was fired because the team is losing the election. Of course, Senator Clinton can’t fire herself, so someone has to bear the blame.

Like a professional golfer and his caddy. The golfer can't fire himself but someone has to take the fall.....

She is right about the caucuses being tilted toward Obama, and as for the rest, it doesn't matter because she has the nomination locked up .

Well, I’m for Obama too because I want him to beat her so bad so she never wants to run for the presidency again. However, she WILL be throwing fits no matter what she says if she loses WHICH SHE WILL!

The caucuses are screwing her over like they have been screwing us over as well.

What a great commercial....Bill Clinton vs. Tiger Woods...Bill gets up and his hispanic caddy says...520 yds..par 5.....straight away...use your driver...Bill hits driver deep into the rough......hillary steps up and whispers to Bill...(you make the punchline..the possibilities are endless!!!)

I’m crossing the line tomorrow in the VA primary and voting for Obama. I can’t bear the thought of that woman winning a primary in my commonwealth.

I’ll have to wear a clothes pin on my nose as I ask for the Democratic ballot (seriously, I’ll be wearing a clothes pin assume the Mrs. will let me out of the house with it).

Then she better get ready to fire this one too. I'm still waiting on Hillary's trip to the park.

Well, you won’t be alone. This is where we have come. Everone is at odds with whom they are going to vote for and why. No matter what...this election is going to be very interesting. My main thrill is that hilllereee will lose the DEM NOMINATION and that’s a victory enough to last ME a lifetime.
