JeffM23 and furtail
[Read the article: Networks say Clinton will win Pennsylvania]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]May I ask about your particular demographic? What are you bringing to Obama's table? Are you rich white guys or college kids? Just curious since you seem to know so much about how core Dem constituencies are likely to vote.
I am a 47-year-old mixed-race Republican woman, just to put my own cards on the table. I was a registerated Democrat, but I got sick of watching the party send up loser after loser after loser. Obama is going to be as weak as Dukakis in '88, if not worse. McCain will fillet him without much trouble.

I wouldn't count on California either

God everything Obama says is just so phony

Hey, Tom Payne, how does it feel to see your candidate
[Read the article: The unofficial end of the race for pledged delegates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]get crushed tonight? Feel good, huh? Enjoy! He's a loser and Hillary has eviscerated him!

Ah, Xrandadu Hutman, not surprising to hear the Obama supporters
[Read the article: The unofficial end of the race for pledged delegates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]calling for censorship and banning. You guys have nothing left. You're sad, pathetic really, and your candidate is garbage who got flushed tonight. Suffer, that's what you deserve.

A pathetic speech, old and tired, a retread of themes that are tattered and faded
[Read the article: In speech, Obama looks past Pennsylvania]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]after a 10 point thumping. I love how he fled the scene of the crime as soon as he could! He's a walking corpse politically. I can only hope the Dems are stupid enough to now actually nominate him.

Empty seats at the PA Obama bash

Their candidate ran away like a frightened cur.

Great line from Todd Beeton over at MyDD.com

tom payne, your candidate is toast
[Read the article: Clinton: "The tide is turning"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]how do you feel, sugar? hm, sweetie? the so-called hack just CRUSHED your golden boy. CRUSHED him. Ate his fucking spleen and asked for seconds. All you have is talk, just like your candidate. Bye bye, sucker.
God, this feels good. Just to KNOW how much you are suffering now. It is sweet, sweet joy.

Here's my favorite part, you can just smell the self-delusion
[Read the article: In speech, Obama looks past Pennsylvania]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"There were a lot of folks who didn't think we could make this a race when it started. They thought we were going to be blown out. But we worked hard ... and now, six weeks later, we closed the gap. We rallied people of every age and race and background to the cause."
I guess he probably did get at least ONE vote from "people of every race and background." LOL. And trying to pretend he's the underdog is pathetic, but really, what else can he do. His balls were vised off tonight.

Jerm, you are well-named

Don't complain to me about BO's cojones

Like the other Obamanuts, dkmoorhead
[Read the article: In speech, Obama looks past Pennsylvania]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]can't tell reality from metaphor. So here are some metaphors for you, turn them into realities in your teensy skull: tonight Obama got roasted, toasted, filleted, annihilated, creamed, and masticated.
By the way, speaking of metaphors, why do people always say "sitting Senator"? What does that add to the image? Does it make negative comments about them seem somehow worse than is they were called, say, "perching Senators" or "nesting Senators" or "Senators slightly reclining while sipping tea"?

You're right, kellylark, a Hillary/Obama ticket would beat McCain
[Read the article: What Pennsylvania tells us]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But it won't happen. They're going to destroy each other instead. And I've stored up a lot of popcorn to watch!

Thanks for the lecture, Graz65
[Read the article: What Pennsylvania tells us]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But I think you're the one with the blinders on if you don't think Obama is just business as usual. He's the usual liberal loser the Dems ritualistically send out to be slaughtered every November. Keep the blinders on--you'll feel better.
-
This is the sad fact about Obama, Graz65, that you have to face
[Read the article: What Pennsylvania tells us]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary Clinton--HILLARY CLINTON--seems more experienced than he does in terms that matter to core Dem constituencies. Something seriously wrong with your candidate when THAT is the case!
-
homefly, don't you realize
[Read the article: What Pennsylvania tells us]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]a Dem nominee can NEVER write those voters off because s/he will never win without them. Only good ol' boy Bill Clinton managed to peel enough them away from their flirtation with Reagan, and then only because he got an assist from Ross Perot. If you really believe Obama can build a winning coalition for a Democrat without the white working class vote, you're nuts. And I hope you're advising the Dem party!

cabick, that is the smartest post I've read on this site
[Read the article: Clinton: "The tide is turning"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The only thing wrong with it is that you assume the Democrat superdels won't figure out some way to screw their party. They'll pick Obama because they'll get shamed into it, and he'll lose horribly, and they'll mutter that it was all Clinton's fault because they wanted to pick her but she but couldn't.

Keep smoking it, KcM
[Read the article: Clinton: "The tide is turning"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your candidate was exposed tonight and throughout the Penn primary. Either Clinton beats him or McCain will. He doesn't have the ghost of a prayer. Keep dreaming. And try to remember that, many months ago, you promised to stop speaking to me. I'd appreciate it if you kept your promise, dear. Now take your meds and hit the sack.

Truer words were never spoken
[Read the article: Obama can't close the deal ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"watching Obama stumble across the finish line as the presumptive nominee is not a formula to inspire the Democrats with confidence heading into the fall elections.... Certainly, despite a six-day bus tour through blue-collar Pennsylvania, there was little in the returns to suggest that the first-term Illinois senator has expanded his coalition...."
He is just a HORRIBLE primary campaigner. He can't do the retail politicking--he looks aloof, annoyed, and silly. He can pack big venues to the rafters with adoring college kids and affluent liberals, but his pitch to core Dem constituencies (with the exception of African-Americans, who are voting for one of their own) just keeps falling flat. Superdels, pick him at your party's own risk.

See, Rico, just listen to HP, he knows the score
[Read the article: Obama can't close the deal ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and if you buy that blarney, you're as big as loser as the Dems are sure to be with Obama in November. But speaking as a McCain supporter, I couldn't be happier than to watch your party follow HP's clueless lead.
