1) Most American voters are simpletons. The GOP knows how to woo simpletons. The Dems do not.

Obamabot here. Nothing negative about this ad.

P.S. PA democrats - a vote for Hillary tomorrow is a vote for McCain. At this point, it doesn't matter if you think Hillary is a better candidate. A vote for Hillary tomorrow means you'd rather have McCain in office than Obama. If that's your position, you're either 1) not a true democrat; or 2) a complete fucking idiot.

Cheers.

No other way to slice it. It doesn't matter at this point if you think Hillary is a better candidate. If you are at all interested in having a Democrat in the White House and you have a brain, you will recognize that voting for Hillary is the wrong move on Tuesday.

I don't know why we rely on Hillary to bow out, and not instead rely on the American people to 1) see through her transparent scorched-earth campaign desperation; and 2) not bite at the type of manufactured controversies that are created and perpetuated by the MSM, the one industry that stands to gain from a protracted race.

But I guess that would be expecting too much from a population as intellectually lazy as Americans. We'll get the president we deserve.

to the kind of absurd non-sequitur arguments we can expect to see from the GOP in the general. But when we get done laughing at its ridiculousness, we should remember that this kind of asinine shit works on huge swaths of our barely-literate electorate (see, e.g., the South Carolina church sign on Drudge).

And your blatant attempts to drive traffic based on this entirely trumped-up "battle" are, well, working.

Kudos to you for recognizing that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

... just flexed its dumb muscles again yesterday. This is embarrassing. And before I get torn apart by the Deceptacons (aka Hillbots), I'm not saying that it's embarrassing that Hillary beat Obama in and of itself.

It's HOW she beat him. It's the total bullshit that worked on the masses. It's our 8 second national attention span. It's our thirst for gladiator battles. It's our rejection of intellectualism. It's everything that will prevent this country from solving our problems. That's what's embarrassing about yesterday. Not that she won. But HOW she won.

... that we, as a nation, are still far too susceptible to dirty campaigning, irrelevant distractions, and media manipulation.

It's not that Hillary won. It's HOW she won. If she had taken the high road, refused to go negative, and refused to stoke the fires of public cluelessness, her victory would be well-deserved.

Because she took the low road, gleefully went negative, and stoked the fires of public cluelessness with industrial-strenght bellows, her victory should ring hollow for anyone with a conscience and a desire for this country to get back on track.

By rewarding this despicable behavior, our country just took another giant leap backwards yesterday.

Yes, if Obama loses the general, it is his fault. It's his fault for deciding to run a different kind of campaign; one that isn't fueled by petty irrelevant personal smears and is instead based on empowerment of the American people to initiate fundamental change from the ground up. It will be his fault that he relied on the intelligence of the American public and tried to appeal to our commonalities, rather than exploiting the public's fears, biases, and prejudices based on faulty logic and sensationalist propoganda.

Yes, we all know that this is how elections have been won in the past. And look at where that's gotten us.

Because Obama will have a hard time convincing uneducated racist idiots to vote for him, HRC should be the nominee because she does fantastic with uneducated racist idiots.

Hillary's "detail" speeches are really not detailed at all, because they still only scratch the surface of the complexity of the mortgage problem, healthcare, and education. The solutions she offers are mainly half-cocked quasi-ideas that have no chance of ever being implementd (a freeze on foreclosures? good luck.)

She reminds me of Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite during the scene where he's selling the tupperware. Totally full of shit but the buyers have no idea. At least Obama knows that if he really wanted to have a policy discussion, he'd need about 4 hours and a truckload of No-Doz for his audience.

What planet do you live on?

Obama has repeatedly said he is not perfect. Just in the last debate, he said something to the effect of his "bitter" comment was not the first time he has inartfully stated something, and it won't be the last. In his race speech, he called his candidacy imperfect. These are just two out of the legions of examples of his humility.

Meanwhile, HRC will not admit her Iraq vote was a mistake, will not admit that she blatantly lied about the Bosnia snipers, and will never say that she has made mistakes in her past. SHE is the one who thinks she can do no wrong, as displayed by the Panderfest at the Panderosa that is her campaign.

I mean, did you seriously just write that? Or are you off your meds?

Just re-read the post instead of skimming it quickly and I get the sarcasm. Man this election has me fired up and fried at the same time. I think if I was Obama, dealing with all the bullshit he deals with on a continuous basis, I probably would have gone postal by now.

Sorry about that.
