Obama Raises $7M Post Super Tuesday

"Hillary's public-sacrifice may bring in a boost in female dollars." Yes, she should cry again. Maybe that will convince us female voters that she is, without doubt, a strong, confident leader who won't crack under pressure.

Why am I getting the impression that Selchie is a male. Hmm, Crying is not a form of weakness. It is simply an expression of feeling. Saying, "...leader who won't crack under pressure." is also an expression of feeling. Hillary has had alot of experience dealing with bigger fish than Obama. He is very young and full of unproven rhetoric. He needs to get some age and experience before he runs for president.

Tears are not a sign of weakness, but I don't recall ever seeing Margaret Thatcher cry or even choke up in public. Just saying.... And before anyone jumps on me about it, yes, I do know that some people are just more expressive than others.

NEWSSTATESMAN quote:

"Hard on Gazza's heels came the Iron Lady. No one had thought Margaret Thatcher capable of any emotion at all, let alone the wetter kind that she had taunted her fellow party members for displaying. But when in November 1990 one after another, wets and dries alike, filed into the prime ministerial office and told her she had to go, it aroused emotions that had lain dormant for the 11 years in which she had visited unemployment, homelessness and financial misery upon millions. As the car swept her away from No 10 Downing Street for the last time, she wept and the cameras caught it."

Yes, even Margaret Thatcher cried.

I believe that he asked for "loans" from his supporters. He promised to use the money in his race after he gained the GOP nomination. He promised to pay that money back if he did not get it. Hmm. What I am interested in hearing is where he is going to throw his electoral votes. Perhaps he can be like pretty boy Edwards and hold out for another vice president nomination. I personally am sickened by Edwards and Romney alike. And, if Obama gets the nomination, I am voting for McCain.

EDIT: Never mind. I should read before I comment.

I'm in no financial position to be giving away money, but for this cause, Obama's cause, two donations totaling $60 is money well spent.

I don't think that the majority of Obama's money has come from College Students. Ted Kennedy and the others have alot of money. You are too young to remember Geraldine Ferrarow (sp). She was the first women vice presidential candidate. I was in college then. I don't even remember who the presidential candidate was. Obama appeals to the young because he is young. He has less support with older voters because they have heard his rhetoric of "hope" before. Words without works are meaningless.

(1) Dukakis was the nominee and it is disturbing that you comment on history and don't know that.

(2) I find your cynicism boring. When did you hear the rhetoric of "hope" before?

(3) You support Clinton? Ok, where are the works behind her words? You mean when she was a Civil Rights Attorney, Community Organizer in the inner city, President of Harvard Law Review, taking point on fixing a broken capital punishment system, ethics reform in one of the most corrupt states (bar Louisiana)? Oh wait, that's Obama.

You must be talking about her time as a corporate lawyer, sitting on the board of Wal-Mart or when she was first lady and destroyed any hope of universal health care for over a decade.

No to all of the above. I was talking about the work that she did, yes as first lady, but also first lady when Clinton was governor.

If I lived through the history, I don't have to remember all of the names and details. Since you did a search of who Geraldine ran with, why don't you do another search of the, "message of hope."

What gets boring is children yacking as though they are experts on events and content when they are only experts in web searches.

Another thing that is boring is Obama comparing himself to JFK. I remember JFK. He was very handsome and died tragically. Other than that, his sins make Hillary look like an angel!

Am I the only one who chuckles when "Cat Lady" says we should vote for an old woman over a young, vibrant, dynamic new leader?

He is very young and full of unproven rhetoric. He needs to get some age and experience before he runs for president.

Teddy Roosevelt was 42 when he became president. Franklin Roosevelt 51. JFK 43. Bill Clinton 46.

Each of these presidents are highly regarded today as successful and historic leaders. So tell me, exactly where does it say in the constitution that being old is equal to being ready?

Oh you kids crack me up! Tell me, what has Obama been the vibrant leader of? Don't vote for promises, he does not have the power or support to get the work done. Actually, he reminds me of Jimmy Carter. Now that is a sad story! Wonderful man, no support on the hill, and no experience playing with the big boys (or girls). Hillary an old woman? Yea, maybe she is. And I roamed the earth with the dinosaurs. Have you ever noticed that older people are proud of their experience? We can just sit and wait.

Oh, when I was young...but I don't think I was gullible. Have you noticed that Obama targeted the young, college age voter? It has been his campaign strategy. He has thrown alot of money at you people. THAT IS WHY YOU THINK HE IS SO GREAT!!

The biggest problem with Obama is that he has alot of ideas but no way to get the work done. He could be stopped at every idea. I bet the GOP is giving money to the Obama campaign. Win or loose the presidency, with Obama in there, the GOP would win.

You actually believe Republicans would rather run against Obama than Hillary "Whitewater/Travelgate/Filegate" Clinton? You have got to be kidding me! We're one blowjob joke away from President John McCain if Hillary gets the nomination.

Gee, let me see, yea. I really think that the republicans would rather run against Obama.

I don't understand what you mean by your last sentence. Perhaps you could re-word it.

Sure, I can rephrase, with a little help from Mitt Romney: "The idea of Bill Clinton back in the White House with nothing to do is something I just can't imagine."

If you think Hillary can shed the Monika Lewinsky scandal as an issue in the general, you're foolish or dotty. Republicans can beat Hillary not by convincing the country she's unfit, but by convincing the country that it isn't worth the bother to live through four more years of scandal and embarrassment. In other words, all the Republicans need to beat Hillary are some blowjob jokes on late night television.

Anyway, I'm done with this debate. Clearly your support of Hillary has no rational basis beyond ageist prejudice against Obama since you've failed to give a single substantive reason she'd be a better president.

I'm glad you responded and sorry to see you leave the discussion. I will have to tell my son that I was called "dotty." We love the old Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple movies. I disagree with your logic behind the blow job jokes. I think that this is a very serious time for us and there will be good that comes out of this election.

@ Cat Lady:

Wow. As a college student, I find that really offensive. As a Finance/Economics major at one of the most prestigious colleges in New Jersey, I'd be willing to bet that I'm smarter than a good number of Americans. If not, I have the resources to get smarter. I've spent a great deal of college time, both in-class and extracurricular, researching candidates, watching debates, and doing a lot of learning to just make sure I don't just endorse a candidate blindly.

There is no conceit in your family - you have it all! I am not from the east. I am from the mid-west. I am not impressed with what schools you have attended and what classes you have taken. You are one of millions and millions of college students. Hopefully you will graduate! Perhaps you are more like obama than I thought. All talk, no accomplishments. And yes, my lad - grades are NOT LIFE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. For all of your education, you completely miss understood my comment: Good will come out of this election. Yes, I am dotty.

Perhaps you should be studying while you are in class rather than researching candidates. Good old fashioned hard work is better than all of the speculation in the world. If Hillary does not get the democratic nomination, I will be voting for McCain. At least he is OLD ENOUGH to know his way around a room. Obama is alot of HOT AIR!
