This is the very first thing you read when you go to the contribute for HIllary site. Unbelievable.
With strong victories, the momentum has shifted to Hillary. Our campaign has seen a remarkable show of support from people who are ready to change our country.

If this were a company they could be sued for false advertising.

1. Is Baghdad Bob working for the campaign now?
I was wondering what had happened to him.

3. This makes me sad.
One minute I want to hate her and the next I just feel so very sorry for her.

She has lost. But you have to commend her spirit.

I just wish she wouldn't lie so much. It's embarrassing.

5. I dont commend her spirit of dividing people, playing the White Vote card
trying to lift herself. I don't consider that anything by evil spirit.
-------------------

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

"There's a pattern emerging here," she said.

16. But it's OK....
...for Barry to pander to the black vote but not for Hillary to go after a traditionaly Democratic demographic?

Take off your rose-colored glasses.

18. I just read the article you linked to.
How the Hell can she say something like that? That's just disgusting. She should be ashamed of herself.

I really, really hope she misspoke, but I doubt she did.

13. You know I'm beginning to think she has become manic
A person can live their whole lives and not experience a real manic episode but when they get into a stress situation that lasts for a long time they can go up and not come down.

It doesn't mean that they have been mentally ill their whole lives, just that they have a genetic code and something flipped the switch.

6. That's a pretty bold marketing strategy they've got there.
How much did you say they were in the hole again? :rofl:

9. The most remarkable show of support for the Clinton campaign
is from the Clintons. $11.5M worth. That is indeed remarkable.

10. She's in it for the fundraising--as much as she can before Obama gets the nod.
Momentum? NC was a blowout, IN was a wash, and since Obama got 40% of IN, she has to get 86% of the vote in ALL SIX of the remaining contests to catch him!

:rofl:

14. I heard on AARadio last night: "Devolving into pathology." The Clinton mania
to avoid the obvious.

She's done and her campaign is broke. What is she waiting for? What will it take for her to get the memo?

Super Delegates, please stop the madness.

15. And what is so very sad about that position is that it gives
false hope to so many.

Snake oil salesmen did that.

During times of drought, rainmakers did that.

Charlatan

A charlatan (also called swindler) is a person practising quackery or some similar confidence trick in order to obtain money or advantage via some form of pretence or deception.

19. Oh for the love of Mike, what do you expect them to say.... "We Suck; Give Us Money"?
It's a donations solicitation page. Do you get pissed off when the Burger King cashiers asks you if you want fries?

20. It is kind of sad to see, but what if they would put the truth?
Current text:

"With strong victories, the momentum has shifted to Hillary. Our campaign has seen a remarkable show of support from people who are ready to change our country.

"Critical primaries are approaching. Make a contribution today and help Hillary win!"

Honest approach:

"With just 6 contests remaining, there is no realistic chance for Hillary to win the nomination, even if both Florida and Michigan get all their delegates seated.

"Hillary is more than $10 million out of pocket. Make a contribution today and help pay off her debts!"
