Obama overtakes Clinton with superdelegate votes
Bangladesh News.Net Sunday 11th May, 2008
US Democrat presidential hopeful Barack Obama has secured a majority of superdelegates and forged ahead of his rival Hillary Clinton.
A least three senior Democrat officials, otherwise known as superdelegates, have endorsed Mr Obama.
The superdelegates will be critical in deciding the outcome as the primaries alone have so far failed to produce a clear winner.
Mr Obama had so far been trailing behind Senator Clinton in superdelegate endorsements.
The general expectation is now that November's presidential elections will see Mr Obama face John McCain, who secured the Republican nomination several months ago.

great news but to no avail
It’s great to hear that Obama (an African American) is more than likely going to compete for the presidency of the United States. The sad reality is that envy, spite and racism will ultimately determine who wins the election. needless to say it won’t be a black man. Wish that wasn’t true, but it will be.

A CLOSE ELECTION - OR IS IT?
There is no doubt in my mind that while Barack Obama’s desire is for change in America, Hillary’s is for POWER. For the most part, Barack has kept his “hands clean” by avoiding the mud-slinging Hillary’s husband has instituted, which is detrimental to his wife’s chances of getting the Democratic nomination. Yes, it is true that many Afro Americans will cast there votes for Hillary but only because they remember the kindnesses Bill Clinton afforded them. But Bill is not running; his wife is!!! I do hope that most Americans will attempt to not let race a key factor in voting. Remember that God created all of us equal, regardless of race, religion or sexual preference. I believe that the only chance that the USA has in the future is to address Barack as “Mr. President." Do the right thing, my fellow Americans, and let logic and not emotion pull that lever in the voting booth.

It About Electability Stupid
HILLARY CLINTON CAN BEST WIN IN NOVEMBER:
IT’S ABOUT ELECTABILITY !!!
It’s time for everyone to face the truth. Barack Obama has no real chance of winning the national election in November at this time. His crushing defeat in Pennsylvania, and loss in Indiana makes that fact crystal clear. His best, and only real chance of winning in November is on a ticket with Hillary Clinton as her VP.
Sen. Obama has zero chance of winning against the republican attack machine, and their unlimited money, and resources without Hillary Clinton. Zero chance.
It is absolutely essential that the democrats take back the Whitehouse in November. America, and the American people are in a very desperate condition now. And the whole World has been doing all that they can to help keep us propped up.
Hillary Clinton say’s that the heat, and decisions in the Whitehouse are much tougher than the ones on the campaign trail. But I think Sen. Obama faces a test of whether he has what it takes to be a commander and chief by facing the difficult facts, and the truth before him. And by doing what is best for the American people by dropping out of the race, and offering his whole hearted assistance to Hillary Clinton to help her take back the Whitehouse for the American people, and the World.
Sen. Obama is a great speaker. And I am confident he can explain to the American people the need, and wisdom of such a personal sacrifice for them. It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out for the American people. She has known for a long time that Sen. Obama can not win this November. You have to remember that the Clinton’s have won the Whitehouse twice before. They know what it takes.
If Sen. Obama fails his test of commander and chief we can only hope that Hillary Clinton can continue her heroic fight for the American people. And that she prevails. She will need all the continual support and help we can give her. She may fight like a superhuman. But she is only human.
Don’t be fooled by the pledged delegate, and math arguments. Neither candidate has the necessary pledged delegates. The entire delegates counts, and votes from Florida, and Michigan are not even being counted. Plus the democratic caucuses, and primarys have been heavily corrupted by fraud, and vote cheating. The only relevant question now is who can best WIN IN NOVEMBER and take back the Whitehouse for the American people. And the answer is HILLARY CLINTON. Everyone knows that now.
Sincerely
Jacksmith... Working Class :-)
p.s. I have been under heavy attacks for some time now. But it wont stop me. :-)

Obama is in fact a racist.

He has and will always be a black panther wanna be.
Look at who he keeps as company.
Look at the remarks his wife has made.
Judge him by his character.
Obama is every bit as big of a crook as the other two.
The only change Obama would bring with him is further degradation of the American dream through reverse racism.
The only real hope for change and a return to real American values is a third party or independent.
Big government socialists will only further erode the economy and living standards of everyone.
