This is the telling difference between a junior senator like Obama with no in depth experience on the political arena and Hillary. Obama is known for his speeches and letters he wrote, Hillary has 30 years of experience. All her records from her time in Senate are out in the open, there is no record from Obama state Senate years...he had only one assistant he says...

Right now, there is a DU thread, Obama fans are taking the high road, claiming HE WROTE A LETTER ON THE HOUSING CRIZES
beeing a president is more than writing letters and holding empty speeches wrtitten by others than you and read from a telepromter.

Well, the day BEFORE Obama wrote his letter...Hillary Clinton actually addressed the issue, arguing for legislation would Modernize the Federal Housing Administration and Provide a Strong Alternative to Subprime and Risky Mortgages.



And here is her remarks on subprime lending to the National Community Reinvestment Coalition dated March 15th...before Obamas letters..

1. But, but

(Just joining the repetitive rants with one of my own)

I must throw all my toys out of my pram (and post obsessively on DU) because she is destroying us all by having the temerity to be an uppity female who believes she has a right to run for president.

Outrageous. She must be stopped at all costs. OMIGOD - she misspoke! Oh No - it is the end of the world! There she goes again. She's trying to win! It's unfair. I hate her now. She is so ugly. was she always so nasty. OMIGOD.look what she is doingnow! Speaking to the press. How dare she.
Look at what she is wearing today. Ewwww! What a nerve. She is a liar. She is evil. She is a republican. I am not going to play with her anymore. Let's all turn our backs her and show her what we really think of her.

That will show her who is boss of this eighth grade.

3. Obama leads with under 1 % of 21 millon votes cast, Clinton leads in electoral votes

There’s this curious notion being circulated that just because Barack Obama has won “more votes” and “more states” and has earned “more delegates” than Hillary Clinton, he has a more legitimate claim to the Democratic nomination than Hillary Clinton.

But these metrics, as the Clinton campaign reminded reporters this week, are not the only data that can be relied upon to determine which candidate will have earned the Democratic nomination.

For instance, Clinton is breathing down Obama’s neck when it comes to “primary delegates” – that is, delegates, assigned from states that don’t hold caucuses. Right now, she trails by just 16, a gap that could be erased if Clinton can score a decisive win in Pennsylvania’s primary. This is clearly a more meaningful number than the overall delegate count, since—as everyone knows—there are no caucuses in the general election.

“If we are ahead in primary delegates…that's a factor," noted Mark Penn, the Clinton campaign’s chief strategist.

Also, did you know that Clinton actually leads Obama in the category of “electoral votes represented by primary and caucus states won?” That’s right: If you add up all of Clinton’s primary and caucus victories, they account for states with an aggregate 218 electoral votes—a muscular 17-theoretical-electoral-vote advantage over Obama. And as Howard Wolfson, the Clinton campaign spokesman, pointed out: “Presidential elections are decided on electoral votes.”

4. That's not FAIR

She is a liar. And a cheat. And she dresses funny. This cannot be OMIGOD. The world is over. I can never vote democratic again. I will have to leave the party. Or the country. She is despicable. I hate her more and more every day. How dare she. This is just soooo upsetting. Anyone who likes her is a moron. If any one speaks to her today I will just have to go home and sulk. So THERE.
