Supporters of Hillary Clinton are pushing hard the idea that she is the strongest Democrat against John McCain this fall. But it could be a tough argument to make in at least one of the two states in Saturday's spotlight.
The Democratic party's Rules and Bylaws Committee will meet to try to figure out how and whether to seat the Michigan and FLorida delegations. Latest polls show clearly that McCain handily beats Democratic frontrunner Barack Obama in Florida, but the outcome in Michigan is less clear.
Latest polls from Rasmussen and Quinnipiac surveys give McCain a sizeable lead over Obama in Florida, but Clinton beats the Republican.
In Michigan, though, Rasumussen has McCain and Clinton tied, while McCain beats Obama by 1.

HRC's incessant self effacing braying about her imaginary superior 'qualifications','experience' and supposed 'electability' over the McCain machine grows tiresome. What part of the rule of law doesn't she understand? I'm sorry but her typical trait of making excuses for her shortcomings and trying to rewrite the rules in the middle of a losing game doesn't forebode well of a potential President of these United States. Her dismal record as a Senator should convince her fanatical backers why she is the wrong woman at the wrong time. Someone clearly needs to send this spoiled brat to the showers for a reality check.

It is about time! The world has finally waken up to the fact that HRC is not fit for public office. After all, what has she really done in the Senate? As bad as I don't like Obama, or his "Church" affiliations, the last Reverend pegged her right. We definitely need a change in WASHINGTON. We need people who will lead for the "People's" sake and not for their own political ambitions. I remember Congressman J.C. Watts who served his term, then left. I don't know what he managed to get done in his short tenure, but it was probably more than anyone who has served two or more terms. America is just as much to blame for political boondoggle that exists because we continue to elect unelectable and amoral people to these offices.

I am a bonafied primary election watcher, this campain is the highlight of my day, because I am a woman around the age of HRC, I can understand her desperate attempts to save an already lost battle. She is stubborn and selfish, 2 traits that we dont want in our government, Obama is the Bomb, an he is the best candidate to represent all people of the USA, and he has proven to be a man of justice/Truth/ and Peace!

As Bill and Hillary look back at her failed '08,' they will see how transparent their unquenchable thirst for power and greed was and will only be pissed that they weren't bestowed the brass ring--Yea the only folks they fooled were themselves and about 17 million sheep. Pretty scary! The catholic priest was right about their entitlement attitude. I would like to know what he has to say about the masses of people who are willing to continue to take it up the butt in supporting this ongoing madness. WOW!

I read many good points in the above comments. May I add just one more. I think that Hillary and her husband are becoming the NATION'S LAUGHING STOCKS. They are becoming the biggest jokes of all time.

Pastor Pfleger did nothing out of order when he mocked Hillary. She pretty much said the same thing when she said the race would be quick and end on February 5th. What must she have been thinking about Senator Obama to have such an arrogant, dismissive attitude? No need to get bent out of shape over the humor; there is and will be much more of that in days to come from the pundits, editorials and cartoonists. I've already seem some doozies so Hillary just better brace herself. Obama need not feel embarrassed by anything that goes down, in the pulpit or elsewhere because that is not his fault or in his control. He did more than his part when he handled Rev. Wright, so the media need not lay everybody's actions on Obama. Hillary put herself in this position, and people are going to ridicule her for her own egotistical tirades.

Wow. The Obama harpies circle the heavens with their shrill cries. What a pathetic lot, totally incapable of any semblance of fairness. Everything about Obama is "good", while everything about Hillary is "bad". How well they have taken to their programing.....exceeds expectations I'm sure. They are blind to anything that doesn't fit into their existing world view. Dissenting Democrats are motivated solely by racism.....obviously. Objectivity has no place in Obama Nation.....which is why I left that camp many months ago.

the obsession to be president by HRC is doing democrate no good. the question is. is she doing this to win or to divide the party so that one day she can say,'I TOLD YOU I WAS THE BETTER CANDIDATE'? she had displayed such a wounderfull campaign but she should be realistic and start uniting the party before people start laughing at her.
