Balta1701 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 6, 2008 -> 03:26 PM) Did some more math- Total Votes To Date (includes caucus "delegates" which count as one vote) Obama - 12,747,492 Clinton - 12,398,606 Edwards - 684,633 Total - 26,225,940 Trouble with that of course is it all depends on how you count Florida and Michigan. Do you count them both? Lots more votes for Hillary. Do you count Florida but not Michigan since everyone was on the ballot in Florida? Do you count all the undeclared in MI as for Obama? Do you count neither? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Clinton has spewed a lot more of it than Obama or McCain have. So its not exactly huge news. So, I was poking around on HillaryClinton.com today and noticed something interesting. In almost all her major "Morning HUBdate" press releases, she almost ALWAYS includes two or three items labeled something along the lines of "in cased you missed it" and it points to something "negative" about the Obama campaign. It might be Rezko, or this monster comment, or some other stupid little thing they are trying to dig up on him. Yet on BarackObama.com... almost no mention of her. They focus on Obama and his message. Just interesting from a person who cries bloody murder the moment Obama says anything negative about her, she's practically PUSHING the media to get negative on Obama.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The monster thing is a joke. First off Obama didn't say it some over zealous aide did. Finally the aide resigned (more then likely to avoid being fired). If one of Hillary's aides did this they would still be working for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ok to say as they like. Hell, even McCain had the nuts to stand up and say "i dont agree with what my supporter just said" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid anybody take a hard look at Obama. Who the hell does does Hillary think she is by putting him under the microscope. Damn man. This is politics.

They included it in one of their press releases. Apparently ignoring the fact the woman said Hillary isnt ready either. And the FULL quote was that NO ONE, not even McCain, is EVER ready to answer that phone. It's HOW you answer it that matters. It's about judgement.

It's hypocritical. I'd like to see some scrutiny sent Obama's way, regardless of where it originates. So far, he's gotten a free pass from the media, as was pointed out by that SNL skit recently done. It would be ironic if a comedy skit turns the tide in this primary season, as it appears it just may happen that way. The media has been known to have a "build them up to tear them down" mentality. Obama just may be heading into some catagory 5 rapids where up to known he's been on a leisurely canoe trip down a calm river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Obama was getting a free pass, but, I do agree about the media's tendency in this. Obama didn't start getting the same level of scrutiny as Clinton until he was the clear leader in the race. Now he's getting it. But with Clinton getting some new momentum (though she's still behind), things will probably shift again. Its just a question of when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
