If Hillary is elected, and I pray to God she isn't, I'll gladly turn in my God given American freedoms and move to ing Canada. Or Mexico, I don't know if I could take the cold.
Where's a ing poll tax when you need one?
I guess you should include women for ing up the country also. they voted 58% to 40% for Hillary .. women and latinos are the scourge of the earth..let me point out to you genious without clinton's supporters voting for obama he has zero chance. people like you are making it much easier for me to consider voting for McCain instead of Obama should it end up that way..

'You can credit Latinos for saving Hillary'

Hispanics from El Paso to Brownsville turned out in record numbers for Sen. Hillary Clinton's do-or-die Texas presidential primary Tuesday, offsetting big-city supporters of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
Late Tuesday, Clinton was declared the winner with 51 percent of the vote to Obama's 47 percent. Still, the delegate count was up in the air.
"You can credit Latinos for saving Hillary," said Antonio Gonzalez, president of the William C. Velasquez Ins ute, a nonpartisan organization that researches Hispanic political participation. "Consistent with her pattern, she held her base — at least we know she held the Latino base."
That and a better-than-expected showing among white males, Gonzalez said, "has her right there."
The New York senator was waging what former President Clinton called a must-win battle in Texas. And she needed a huge Hispanic turnout in her effort to regain momentum after a string of nearly a dozen defeats before Tuesday, when she also carried Ohio and Rhode Island.
Clinton captured nearly two-thirds of the votes of Latinos in Texas, according to an exit poll conducted for the Associated Press and television networks.
Clinton and Obama made forays into Hispanic-rich territory in the closing days — Obama even deciding to monitor election-night activities in San Antonio, the gateway to South Texas.
And each claimed that a large early vote from one end of the 1,250-mile-long border to the other would benefit them.
But U.S. Rep. Charlie Gonzalez, the highest-profile San Antonio lawmaker to back Obama, acknowledged that Clinton's ties to Bexar County and South Texas went a long way with voters in the region. Clinton registered voters in South Texas for Sen. George McGovern's presidential campaign in 1972, and she and Bill Clinton made numerous repeat visits.
"In talking to the Obama people, I told them they had to fight for Bexar County," Gonzalez said, looking at early vote results here that favored Clinton over Obama 54.2 percent to 44.7 percent. "But I also told them it was going to be very difficult from here all the way down to the border."
However, he said Obama's Texas strategy didn't rely on prevailing in South Texas.
El Paso broke all of its early voting records, said county elections administrator Javier Chacon, and he predicted that the total primary voting record in the county would be easily shattered.
In the Rio Grande Valley, as in much of the rest of South Texas, long lines of voters turned out.
"If she (polls) tonight around the state as she is polling in the Valley, Hillary will win Texas and Mexican Americans will be the reason why she won," said La Joya Mayor Billy Leo, a Clinton supporter.
In the waning days of campaigning, some polls showed Obama edging out Clinton but most pollsters called it a statistical dead heat.
Both maintained a huge lead among their base of support. According to the polls, Obama was registering 70 percent support among African American populations in urban Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. Clinton was leading among Hispanics along the border and South Texas by 44 percentage points.
With nearly 80 percent of the Valley vote in, Clinton had an overwhelming lead in the region's two largest counties. She had 72 percent of the vote in Hidalgo County and 65 percent in Cameron County.
Obama closed a double-digit Clinton lead over the last several weeks with visits to Texas — although his forays south were fewer than Clinton's — and substantial media buys, especially in Spanish-language radio.
Forecasts pegged Hispanic voters at about 25 percent of the electorate in this year's Democratic primary. But Andy Hernandez, a one-time Democratic National Committee staffer who advised Clinton's campaign on its Latino outreach in Texas, didn't buy it.
"That's way too low for this election," he said hours before the polls closed Tuesday. He predicted a total of more than 30 percent. "Latinos have never been activated like they have in this election."
Hispanic voters represented nearly a third of the Democratic primary's turnout, according to the exit poll..

Okay….
And please define what you think she will up, because the way I see it, we are already there.
Oh, and I voted for her because I want a woman in the white house.
You are quite welcome.
Go Hillary!
Cindy McCain appreciates you wanting her in the white house
Smart Ass!
I thought you dubbed Hillary as a phony who stole all of Edward's ideas . . .You are quite welcome.
Go Hillary!
Crypts vs. Bloods
You are quite welcome.
Go Hillary!
It's 3am....Hillary's still a !
But she's not black!
Well I guess it's good that you'd admit to such a thing, but I have to wonder why gender is your primary concern when electing one of the most powerful people in the world.Oh, and I voted for her because I want a woman in the white house.
You should read posts in their entirety. I said I'd pick Hillary over copycat Obama. She did copy, Obama happened to do it almost word for word.
nevertheless, Go Hillary!

You should really just shut up with your trash already. You are a complete biggotted moron. I understand you're a real loser, but keep your stupid moronic lies to yourself. Don't call me what You really are. The dumb thing about it is, You have no basis whatsoever to say that about me, you just spew it and hope it sticks.
You really are stupid.
So you prefer the condidate with a more pro-war track record because her opponent used the same vague political rhetoric as your guy? Aren't you vehemently anti-war?
Help me understand the thinking here.
Gender is not my primary concern for a Candidate. But because the Candidates are so similar, at least to me then I give the edge to Hillary... because then experience and being a Strong independent woman would be a factor for me. I think that men have had their chance so now it's time for a woman to come clean up the mess.
Nader is more in line with my beliefs. I am anti-Obama because he's a phony, and a plagiarist, yes, moreso than Hillary. And Edwards wasn't vague, he was very specific, more specific than any of the candidates along with Kucinich.
So Obama's alledged plagiarism/phoneyness is a more important issue to you than the war.
You know sa210, you got your heart in the right place and
your brains somewhere else.
You could really be a good conservative. You have
compassion. In business for yourself and for the life of
me I cannot understand why you just cant think other
people should be like you: stand on their own two feet,
but feel for those that "really" do need help.
Just a thought.
Exhibit A on why we need a poll tax.
