54 Ways to Say "I Love You" In Africa
Hillary Clinton won Kentucky with 65 percent of the vote to Barack Obama's 30 percent. And now Clinton can't quit when she's "hearing the sound of your overwhelming vote of confidence even in the face of tough odds":
Some have said your votes didn't matter, that this campaign was over, that allowing everyone to vote and every vote to count would somehow be a mistake. But that didn't stop you. You've never given up on me because you know I'll never give up on you.
This is one of the closest races for a party's nomination in modern history. We're winning the popular vote and I'm more determined than ever to see that every vote is cast and every ballot counted.
Clinton added:
And I'm going on now to campaign in Montana, South Dakota, and Puerto Rico. And I'm going to keep standing up for the voters of Florida and Michigan. Democrats in those two states cast 2.3 million votes and they deserve to have those votes counted. That's why I'm going to keep making our case until we have a nominee, whoever she may be.As I watched Clinton's victory speech, it was déjà vu all over again when I saw folks holding signs "Count Every Vote."
But Obama isn't singing the blues. He handily beat Clinton in Oregon. With that victory, he declared he has a majority of the pledged delegates:
We have returned to Iowa with a majority of delegates elected by the American people, and you have put us within reach of the Democratic nomination for president of the United States in America.But neither Obama nor Clinton has reached the 2,025 2,026 delegates needed to clinch the nomination. So it's on to Montana or wherever.

I say, Big Ups to Hillary for winning Kentucky. Big ups to MY CADIDATE, OBAMA for winning Oregon! They both did good, how about that! But, Obama is in the lead in Super delegates and the most popular votes! Obama is only 70 Delegates in seeking NONIMEE! This is good for our Democratic Party! May the best candidate win!
I hope that this doesn't drag on, we need to prepare to get ready for the General Election. We all understand, that Hillary is a fighter but the more this gets dragged out, it will DESTROY our DEMOCRATIC PARTY! Hillary has every right but, she shouldn't get her way in counting the votes in Michigan and Florida. We will see, come May 31 what the DNC will decide.
Peace!

IF THINGS WERE REVERSE, THEY WOULD HAVE LAUGH OBAMA OUT OF THE RACE. HILLIARY IS USING RACE AND GENDER TO DESTROY OBAMAS CHANCES IN DEFEATING MC CAIN. HILLIARY IS ALL ABOUT HILLIARY. HILLIARY IS NOT STAYING IN THE RACE FOR WOMEN, HILLIARY IS STAYING IN THE RACE FOR HILLIARY EVEN IF IT CAUSE THE DEM. PARTY TO LOOSE IN THE FALL. OBAMA LOOSE TO MC CAIN OPEN THE DOOR FOR HILLIARY IN 2012.

Hillary Clinton is just fund raising to help pay off her campaign debts. Obama has agreed to pay the rest of the Clinton campaign debts once he becomes the nominee. So all the money people are giving to Obama is really going to the Clinton campaign. It's all about money $$$$.
