Why is she behind in pledged delegates?
Why is she behind in the popular vote (not counting a state where Obama wasn't even on the ballot)?
Why are super delegates flocking to Obama, while Hillary has picked up only a handful in the past few months?
Why has she won fewer states?
Why is she trumpeting her narrow delegate pickup in PA, when it is less than the number of net delegates Obama picked up in a variety of other states?
Why is she behind in fund raising?
Why, with her starting financial advantage and name recognition, was she held to a tie on Super Tuesday?

Because Hillary is a person of little substance. She is a disgrace to the Democratic party, as a woman and as an American in general.



She doesn't have the numbers to win. She is like a million votes behind Obama but she still hanging in their like cockroach that refuse to die.



Great question

Why can't Obama put her away?

Why can't he win the states that democrats need to win to gain the White House?

Why is Hillary ahead in the popular vote if you count Florida (where Obama WAS on the ballot)?

And why are you touting a candidate who hasn't stated a detailed position on anything, hasn't won any of the important democratic states, and has NO chance of winning in the General Election?

Because ... YOU SHOULD be asking ... IF Obama is the GREATEST Nominee EVER ... WHY ... CAN'T he BEAT Hillary !!!!



Obama Supporters do not want to see, hear, and/or understand the TRULY Intelligent Answers and/or Questions that are NOT -FOR- Obama !!!



We NEED to start doing the "REPORT IT" Button on them for EVERY LITTLE ... POSSIBLE ... Violation, like they do to the rest of the people on here !!!!



We need to make sure that the person that represents AMERICA is PRO-AMERICA !!!



WE NEED to make sure that EVERY man, woman, and child, KNOW how ANTI-AMERICAN Obama and his Reverend(S) ARE !!!



Would a CONTINUAL 20 years of "second hand smoke" have a negative affect on the other people in the area ??



Would a CONTINUAL 20 years of "Anti-American Preachings" have a negative affect on the other people in the area ??



John F. Kennedy, a Democrat, was sworn in as the 35th President of THE United States of America, at noon on January 20, 1961. In his inaugural address he spoke of the NEED for ALL Americans to be ACTIVE CITIZENS, famously saying, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."



Please NOTICE that it said DEMOCRAT - NOT Socialist and / or Communist Democrat !!



It means this country is only as strong as the people in it. It means get off your a$$ and do something!!!

.

The Democratic Elite make the rules and then they change them for their convenience !!



The Elite Democrats feel like THEY know better than YOU who would be the best person to run the country !!!



By the People and For the People !!!

I am in no way supporting Hillary, but I will say this. Why can't Obama seal the deal and close her out? Also, if Obama's church association and his association with Bill Ayers had been exposed 5 or 6 months ago, he wouldn't even be in the race still. We would be looking at Clinton vs. McCain.



Also, if you were to count Florida and Michigan, she would be ahead of him in the popular vote.

The best answer to your question, simple she is a woman! Look at what McCain had to say about equal pay for women doing the same job a man is doing. No he does not support equal pay! In this race it is about gender, that is it in a nut shell. By the way I am a man and I support Clinton.

Clearly Obama is electable. Also, I guess we will only truly see whether he is a bad candidate or not if he becomes president. The truth is, Obama has more democratic support, probably because of the rhetoric he uses in his speeches, his status as a black candidate, and his more left-leaning policies.

The dirty little secret is both Hillary and Barry are VERY weak candidates. Barry is a very good speaker,but an empty suit and has a lot of far ,far, far left ideas that would really hurt our great country. Hillary ( like Obama) is huge elites and a congenital lair that would also do great damage to the USA.

That's because top democrats want to dump Clinton for 0'8 ticket. it says in News max and other magazine which have the similar comments about Clinton. I don't know what answer why to it.

So now the super delegates do matter now that they're 'flocking' to Obama. Funny that.

Obama being a bad, unelectable candidate has nothing to do with Clinton.

Even better, why did Clinton hint at the VP position for him if he's so horrible?

How many times do we have to answer this question?

Why can't Obama close the deal?

Who says Clinton isn't going to?
2008-04-25 02:26:56 UTC
Because she is hated by so many.



I do have to wonder, though, if the Rev Wright thing had come out sooner, and had he debated Hillary sooner, if he would still be a candidate. WHy is he so afraid of another debate?

Ah see - I can ask it another way - if he is such a great candidate - why can't he get Clinton out of the picture?
2008-04-25 02:27:27 UTC
Stop listening to the Hillary spin. Obama is a great candidate

Pimp Dog, what are you even trying to say? From what he says, no one is scared of Hillary, she is behind in everything. He wants to know why, even though she has almost every advantage, Obama is still crushing her soul.

You ask -- Why can't she beat him?? Which primary were you watching on Tuesday? She beat him like a drum!! If he is so great, why can't he beat her?!!
2008-04-25 02:26:12 UTC
Why are you so scared of her?
