Hillary Clinton talks to Ellen about 'the boys' and bowls badly

About to enter the final two weeks before the crucial Pennsylvania Democratic primary on April 22, Sen. Hillary Clinton stops by to chat with Ellen DeGeneres again Monday because she wants to reach one of her strongest group of voters, older women.

Actually, they don't really talk Monday. They taped it last week. So we know a little about the discussion. Ellen says she knows how strong Hillary is, but how hard it must be to hear all this talk about how she should give up, get out and quit the race for the Democratic presidential nomination because she's behind.

And Hillary says: "You know, boys used to say that to me all the time.

"And I figured I know this contest is close.  I don't think either one of us should get out.  We should let people vote.  There are a lot of states that haven't voted yet.  They deserve a chance to have their votes counted, and I just feel like I'm doing this for myself,
obviously because I believe so much in what our country can be again once we finally get through with President Bush and get back to being the America we know and love."

And Ellen asks her about the rights of gay couples. And the New York senator says she's going to do "everything I can" to ensure equality.

"I like it. I like it," Ellen replies.

And they also talk about how Clinton is supposed to be some kind of cousin to Madonna, who is not a candidate for the Democratic nomination. But Clinton doesn't answer. She wants to know how Ellen got ahold of an old photo.

Also, a little broadcast bird tells The Ticket that on the show Clinton decides to go bowling with Ellen, which may have something to do with how badly her competitor, Barack Obama, bowled at an impromptu session the other day. He scored 37.

However, we understand that Clinton also rolls a fair number of gutter balls. But maybe they'll edit those out--"Democratic Candidates Can't Bowl!"

If HIlary really wants all people to have their votes counted, why, last week, did she say the delegates could vote anyway they want at the convention, even if they disagree with the results in their states???

Why doesn't Obama want to seat the Florida and Michigan delegates? Why can Obama say Hillary is unelectable, but she can't say the same about him? Rev. Wright = poor judgment. Republicans will bring up Wright during the general election. If Obama is the nominee, he will lose to McCain. Hillary should consider running as an independent.

[Vote Hillary]

Steve isnt that exactly what new mexico's richardson did? Hillary won that state yet it was ok for him to endorse Obama,So there should be NO PROBLEM if other super delagates support Hillary regardless of her winning there state! They are free to vote whichever way they please,just like me and you.Dont get me wrong i personally think they should each vote according to the states they represent and they should support whoever won the popular vote in there state!With that said since Richardson didnt see this as the way it should go i think its fair to say others can vote for whoever they think will be the best nominee,FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN COUNT YOUR VOTES SEAT YOUR DELAGATES! (just had to add that) Vote Hillary

Hillary has gotten her way for so long, that she simply forgets that there is a first time for everything. Ms. Clinton, over half of your own party don't' enorse you, and it is fair not to even look at the stats on how popular you are among the Republicans...You quote is a supreme definition of who you are, despite the eventual outcome, big name Dems endorsing Obama, "you are doing this for YOURSELF." Quit now, for when you lose, you won't recover psychologically. It will finally hit you that three-fourths of the country can't stand you.

Go Obama

Wow, this photo looks like a lilttle reunion of two former Miss U.S.A. contestents? Imagine these two in the bathing suit competetion? No, not when they were younger, but now...

With the amount of animosity against Hillary from the Obama camp, then having the race a virtual draw, then HIllary using the superdelegate-Florida-Michigan-do-it-again-card to attempt to "steal" the ticket, I wonder if she knows how much damage has been done to the party or even cares?

She stated "I'm doing this for myself.." That says more than enough

Just hoping America makes the right choice. HILLARY CLINTON for PRESIDENT!

Double standard

From bad bowling to bad trade deals,
Obama gets more bad press than Clinton.

Obama bowls badly and the whole world is told.
Clinton bowls badly and there is nary a peep.

Allegations are made against Obama regarding
NAFTA and the world is told. When those allegations
are proven false there is nary a peep from the MSM

Clinton white house records proved that Hillary promoted NAFTA. Nary a peep out of the MSM. Clinton chief strategist Penn's firm lobbied for the Colombian free trade deal for over a year, Clinton says she had no idea, and nary a peep from the media.
