What I’m saying is that Obama managed to create the perception in the Media that he had already won the nomination long before he was even close to winning the nomination and that Clinton in continuing to campaign as if she still had a chance was being a vindictive and egomaniacal spoilsport.

With the help of a Clinton-hating Press Corps, he was able to scare Party leaders into thinking that letting the campaign go on was destroying the party and somehow thwarting the will of the people. He was able to scare enough of the right people into thinking that if they let the nomination be decided by a floor fight they’d be dooming the Party’s chances in the fall. [ Reply | More

Then, and again I don’t think he had to work hard at this, he was able to convince his supporters that if the supers did decide the nomination in Clinton’s favor or if she won it in a floor fight at the convention, they would have been robbed! He was able to make party leaders worry that in fact they would be robbing his supporters. [ Reply | More

And, amazingly, what was once egregriously unfair, that the super-delegates would decide the nomination, has now become the right and only thing to do. [ Reply | More

All of this was self-serving and self-interested and ambitious on Obama’s part, all of it was tinged with hypocrisy and double-dealing, and none of it was unfair or constituted cheating or is in any way reprehensible because all of it is just in the nature of politics. [ Reply | More

Those of you who wish to think that he won through the pure force of his goodness and the righteousness of his cause and that his beating Hillary was a case of goodness and light triumphing over evil are perfectly free to do so. The rest of us know better. Obama’s just another politician with a sharp eye on the main chance, same as Clinton, and that’s what we’re counting on come November. [ Reply | More

ITA, the way she is being depicted by the media is just disgusting, I deeply regret voting for Obama in the primary, because he stands by and allows this to happen, as long as he wins [ Reply | More

But, if you believe that "the media" is so Clinton hating and willing to paint her as a "vindictive and egomaniacal spoilsport", shouldn't you question why that might be so? Even if she did somehow get the nomination, and the democratic party somehow unified behind her, I would put money down that the skeletons in her & Bill's closet would start crashing out and there's absolutely no way she'd win in November. I think if Obama had wanted to run a dirty campaign, there are many things that he could have brought up that he hasn't. The Republicans won't hold back - and that's why they've been so hopeful that she'd be the nominee - and are now so happy to see democrats bickering and threatening not to vote for the 'wrong' nominee in November. I want a democrat to win and get these bums out of office. I really don't think Hilary has - or ever had - a chance to win. [ Reply | More
