Clinton and Obama Campaign at Mississippi Colleges in Advance of Today's Primary
Mississippi voters get their turn to weigh in today on the presidential candidates, and the Democrats have been visiting college campuses around the state as they seek to drum up support for their campaigns. There are 33 delegates at stake in the state’s primary.
Among his stops, Barack Obama — who won the latest Democratic contest, in Wyoming, over the weekend and was leading Hillary Rodham Clinton in Mississippi polls — “revved up” a crowd of more than 9,000 people at Jackson State University on Monday, according to the Hattiesburg American.
Mrs. Clinton stopped by Millsaps College last week and her daughter, Chelsea, also appeared there and at other campuses, such as the University of Mississippi, to talk up her mother among students in advance of today’s primary.

DON’T BE DUPED!!!
Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very fast.
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care. So they can make more profit for them-self.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket now! All democrats need to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton. So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.
You should be angry America. “This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)
Sincerely

Thanks for setting us all straight jacksmith. Never mind that many of us don’t believe one word you have said here. I fear that Hillary Clinton is so hated by the Republicans that she, if chosen as the candidate, will motivate quite a few who would otherwise stay home. Guess we will see which of us is correct as we move forward. I will remain an Obama supporter.

I am a Republican who did vote for Obama in our state primary – and I hope to have the oppportunity to vote for him in the election in Nov! I will NOT vote for Hillary Clinton! (but I may have to vote for Nader if it is McCain vs. Clinton)

I am a Democrat who will not vote for Hillary Clinton. I have had enough of the Clintons and am ready to move on. If Hillary gets the nomination I will vote Republican for the first time.

jacksmith: WTF?
Was that a joke? If not, how did you get so detached from reality? Obama is much, much,much less frightening to the intelligent majority than is Clinton—Are you kidding—where did you get that? I do not believe that personal attacks are appropriate in this forum, but jeez, I’ll make an exception. You’re way, way out there. Get some help. Seriously.

4 in a row have taken exception with jacksmith’s rant. I am happy to make it 5.

Actually jacksmith, your analysis is either an exercise in delusion or you’re a Clinton party plant. If they do crossover, Republicans have been instructed by Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingram and other Republican radio talk show hosts to vote for Hillary because that is who the Republicans want to run against because she will mobilize their demoralized constituency. In fact, there is a belief out there that Hillary would not have carried Texas without that Republican crossover. It was humorous to hear all the Republicans calling in to Rush and Laura on Wednesday morning, telling how they had to hold their nose but dutifully voted for Hillary. So jacksmith, don’t take us for a bunch of idiots. Maybe we didn’t go to Yale, but we have enough brains enough to recognize Hillary’s pathetic subterfuge.

Admittedly, most of my friends are democrats, but out of my republican friends, the following is true:
1) those moderate republicans who have an opinion on the issue HATE Clinton, but think Obama is ok. I know several people who voted for Obama in open primaries in their states because the republican nomination was more locked up, and they’d rather have two people they mostly like running against each other than one person they hate and one person they like.
2) The more hardcore republicans I know dislike both Clinton and Obama. These guys are desparately hoping for a Clinton nomination so that they will have a better shot in the general (as marci said). Republicans view Clinton, not Obama, as the weaker candidate. Actually everyone does, and so do the national polls.
My guess is that there are more people falling into category 1 than category 2, but obviously category 2 gets bigger as the republican nomination gets more wrapped. Sure enough, republicans and independents voted for Obama early, but have voted for Clinton recently, (Mar 4th and 11th — check out the exit polls!) when the republican nomination was already decided. Again, I still think there are more people in category 1 — people who genuinely vote for whom they would rather win — but I know a lot of people in category 2, too.
Obama is more competitive in the general election against McCain than Clinton is. Things may change (maybe he’ll have a random scandal), but intelligent people acting on current evidence would choose Obama over McCain by a larger margin than Clinton over McCain (if she’d beat him at all).
