    "we hold these truths to be self evident; that all men are created equal.." Thos. Jefferson, that sexist slave humping pig. How dare he be a founding father. He would have been parsed to death by dogstyle and his pack of baying hounds. Parse away, lick yourself to contentment, and whiz on a fire hydrant. love, heywood.

    [Read the article: Politico: "Clinton has virtually no chance of winning"]

    Obama is running for the presidency of the United States. All fifty. Not just New Mexico. So, there's more than one way to view the "superdelegate" shuffle. Should they reflect the percentage break in the state from which they originate? If so, Obama still wins. More states, more votes, more delegate. Any way you losers slice it, parse it, or stuff it, billary loses. Bill Richardson is a widely respected, national political presence, not just a token from New Mexico. Billary and the boys are just pissed at "Judas" for not kissing the Klinton ring. PIss off.

    If Obama is, in your inane phrase, an ultra liberal, why is it that his voting record and Rodham's are very close to the same? Is it because you're a closet republikan? There is no left wing in this country, unless you count Raff Nadir and Pete Camejo. The country has lurched so far to the reich in the past 20 years that Nixxon would be a liberal. Check his record. EPA. Relations with Red China. Wage and price controls. Sound ultra liberal, Head? I served starting the year you got out, so I have deep sympathy for what you endured, and the hateful homecoming we all received in those years. But, with all due respect, you are in no position to express an opinion other than you own, and certainly not endowed with the wisdom to know who "deserves" or does not deserve to be President. Who died and left you in charge? Speaking of dying, we reached 4000 dead in Iraq today, and that's the official count, which leaves out contractor and other Americans doing fundamentally military things. Estimates are that the number there is upwards of 1500. Add that to more than half a million dead Iraqis, 2 million refugees, and you can see what another bush/mclame term would mean. Sober up, man up, and vote for whichever Democrat wins the nomination. I will.

    We missed you and your mindless repetitious blather. Tell us how Governor Richardson, who knows the Klintons inside out, endorsed Obama. It was not a tepid endorsement: he refered to Obama as a leader that comes along once a generation. Glad you were able to make bail. Count the delegates, dimbulb, and do the math. Billary's done. Blather on.

    By any count available in the real world, which Shawnie Baby on visits on a temporary visa, Obama is ahead in every category except for Billary's small, and narrowing, lead in superdelegates. Count, white man, count. Take off your shoes it that helps. Hillary is behind to an extent no one with an ounce of common sense can see her winning the nomination. Every state from now on by 65-35 or better, and a suicidal swing by the Supers. It's the only way, and it paves the boulevard to 1600 Pennsylvania for Warmonger John. Gee, that's be great. At least he's a patriot, right Shawnie Baby. Big Bill said Hill and John were patriots. Car-vile called Richardson Judas for his endorsement. If that ain't pissing in the punchbowl I don't know what is. And I do. About time for your evening meds, Shawnie Baby?

    Who exactly would pay for that? Why would small states commit sapuku? Shall we do away with the Electoral College, too? A great idea, which I heartily endorse, but until there is true, pervasive campaign finance reform, in which all media access is free, none of this will ever take place. Great theory, but none of us will live long enough to see it happen. Of course, if McLame gets through the gaping hole we're making for him via fratricide, none of us may live that long anyway. vote democratic in November for every office at every level, period. I will.

    a false choice, madam, assuming that's what you are. slavery does not obviate the necessity of recognizing our national shame in the genocide against native people. Nothing Obama has said, his inclusiveness in particular, would indicate he is not in sympathy with what you say. Why your Irish/Cherokee predecessor declined to express outrage was her choice. It should not be ours. The time is long overdue for boldness, for reaching beyond the pettiness, lassitude, and torpor, and stupidity which have come to characterize our national "dialogue". Our country was not founded by timid men and women. If you're not outraged, you're either not paying attention or have your values skewed in way that does not comport with our expressed national purpose.

    this shriveled megalomaniac is twenty years, at least, past his relevant date. Isn't dry humping America in 2000 enough for raff's bloated ego? And you other Einsteins want a primary just like the Republikans have: winner take all, by one vote or a million. And exactly how is that democratic, either upper or lower case "d"? Finally, I wouldn't put it past the Klinton Klingons to kneecap Obama to give billary a shot at 2012. That would mean another four years of middle eastern bloodbath, another four years of bushit economics (and very possibly a depression), but, hey, it's all about billary.
