Excellent point...!!!

McCain needs the high profile more than Obama.

Plus Obama is really lowering expectations of his ability to do well in the "town hall' format.

I would like to see them ask each other questions...nothing from the steno pool or the hand picked audience(s).

Obama should every other day or so tell McCain to meet him the next day at 'high noon' in _________ (where ever).

McCain needs at least a full week to prepare. That why he wants the single topic format.

We all know I'm losing the race,

We'll just change the rules
to which I agreed to before the race,
...but obviously at the time I didn't know I would be losing now,
...so how can that count...!?!?

You agree with me...right...!?!?

Clinton Leads in Clinton-Won States
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/5/21/11544/6652/16/519665

Hillary Clinton has won. It's all over. In states where she received more delegates, she has won a majority of the elected delegates. There's no way for Barack Obama to catch up. Not reasonably. Not quickly. Not even tautologically.

If you count the states where she received more delegates, she's ahead 1022-704. That's more than three hundred votes people! That's all 18 of the states! How can we take this nomination away from her?

It gets even worse for Obama. If you add her the ‘super delegate’ contests that she's won, she's ahead 1,315.5 to 704. That's 65.1% of the delegates, in all the states where she won and all of the ‘super delegates’ who she's won. That's a 30-point margin. How can we take it away from her...!?!?

IT GETS EVEN WORSE FROM THERE.

If you look at states where Clinton won by a 30-point margin, she's ahead 124-31. That's 80%-20%!, a 60% margin! Add in her ‘super delegates‘, that 417.5 - 31...! 93% - 7%...!

HOW CAN THEY TAKE THIS AWAY FROM HER...!?!?

The math is on her side...! Any way you look at it (from counting Michigan and Florida, but not Iowa, Nevada, Maine, and Washington, to just counting states she's won) HILLARY HAS CLEARLY ALREADY WON.

Obama should be ashamed of how many states Clinton can't count, because she didn't win them. He's making their votes not count because he won more of them.

Shame on him. He's using Karl Rove-style tactics*.

*Also, Hillary should win because Karl Rove thinks she's the stronger candidate.

HRC says that sexism is worse than racism.
I am sickened by these statements.

I am a woman of French - Irish descent....
My Great -great-great (great) grand father was a signer to The Constitution.

I am proudly and blissfully married to an African-American man.

To say that sexism is as bad as racism makes me laugh.
I agree that their is a glass ceiling in America for women and it is sad.
The truth is that there is still a steel boot for African-Americans.

Looks at some of the facts.

Women are less likely to get the CEO job.
African-Americans are less likely to even get a job.

Women are more likely to be harassed by a police officer or a supervisor.
African-Americans are more likely to be beaten, or shot by a police officer or to go to jail.

Women are less likely to be inadequately paid even as teachers for the service they provide.
African-Americans are less likely to graduate from high school.

Women are less likely to get a good and fair settlement in a divorce hearing in front of a judge.
African-Americans get longer sentences in front of a judge.

I don't remember reading about any woman being lynched in the south.
I don't remember hearing about women being forced to sit on the back of the bus because they where woman.

Hillary has brought out the worst in this country with her race baiting "Hard Working Americans, White Americans" and...

Has proven everything that the Republicans had said about the Clinton's is true.
