The Day After, Clinton Aides Push Delegate Fight
New York Times ^ | June 1, 2008, 12:16 pm | By Julie Bosman and Katharine Q. Seelye

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign was out in full force on the Sunday shows, insisting that Mrs. Clinton will be leading in the popular vote at the end of the primary process this week and will be making a final appeal to the party’s uncommitted superdelegates on that basis. The Clinton forces also left the door open that they could press forward with a fight to the credentials committee, as it threatened to do yesterday. Mrs. Clinton could challenge the Democratic Party’s rules committee on Saturday allocated the delegates from Michigan. We’ll have more on that argument in a later post.

Is it time yet to start emphasizing what we've known for a long long time? You know, that pink elephant in the room that the Demonrats have successfully shuck and jived away from for the past 50 years or so?

FACT: The Democrat Party is Racist. Wake up Black America. The Democrat Party does NOT take you seriously. To them, you are but a means to an end.

The Democratic Party has been taken over by a little clique of prominent (largely Soros-financed) “party leaders” who are about to disappoint (and insult) us all by nominating an unelectable (Anti-American, untrustworthy, and/or unqualified, take your pick of what people think of him) candidate. Almost worse, the party “leaders” are deciding to give Florida and Michigan citizens only one-half votes. USA was founded with a “three-fifths compromise” to account for slaves and now our Democratic Party leadership is only going to give the people of Michigan and Florida one-half votes, which is even less “participation” than for the slaves. We are overcome with pain and remorse and wish to offer the only thing we can, our sincerest apologies, to the rest of America for this abysmal farce of a nominating process in our party. We are so very, very sorry.
ps —Let’s fix our own system before we try to export “democracy” to every agressive, hostile, or primitive tribal society on earth.

She still refuses to believe that she doesn't have a shot at it.

Knowing the Clintons, they would be just as happy to get back into the Whitehouse even if it took a bullet.

Hillary has made it clear that even if a $35million campaign is unsuccessful at putting her back in the Whitehouse, a 35 cent bullet could be.

The democRats have never had one either.

The Republicans have nominated a black to the Supreme Court, and have had 2 black Secretaries of State.

That wasn't my point. My point was that the Democrat party uses American Blacks to their own ends, which is power. All the promises made to the black community by the Democrats for decades ring hollow. That community is in worse shape now than it has ever been, despite Democrat promises. At least blacks in the Republican party are taken seriously, and are in positions of influence, unlike the window dressing in the Democrat party. The underlying point to my post is that the Hillary wing is doing everything it can to steal the nomination from their uppity "magic negro". Donna Brazille sure does look disappointed these days, doesn't she?
