Heh. I stop by here out of curiosity and, yep, it's the same sad bunch of Clinton deadenders, spewing for the same old bile. What are you people going to do, when Clinton is forced to close up shop? Heck, what are y'all going to do in January, when Obama is inaugurated. Start stocking canned goods, I suppose.

C'mon, now, has it really come to linking to Michael Savage? Oh well, I guess the trendline has been in evidence since January.

ShawnWM, nobody cares if you decide to up and leave the Democrats, or that you're bringing your checkbook. You may not have noticed this, but Obama doesn't have any trouble raising money via small donations without you.

Cythera, you've already outed yourself as a self-proclaimed Republican, so pretty much anything you have to say is null and void. Then again, it already was, since most of your comments are ad hominem inanities.

KateTex, you've been sticking to the same sad set of talking points, in full defiance of reality, for months now. Hey, it's your world -- color it as you wish. But don't expect the rest of us to buy into your alternate reality.

I must say, the way Salon's been going over the course of this election, I'm not surprised the forums are mostly reduced to the hard-core Clinton trolls. See, Joan Walsh, what you've wrought?

If you're going to try to scare me with a TPM post everyone's already seen, at least do the courtesy of posting the whole thing:

"On the other hand, this poll has another piece of information that would show Obama to be at least as strong a general-election candidate as Hillary: He wins 52% of independents against John McCain, while she wins only 44%. The actual top-lines are very similar."

So, we're talking about working-class whites in the PRIMARY only. And, while you seem unable to internalize this, Sen. Obama has had the Democratic primary sown up since Wisconsin.

"The poll you're hanging your hat on is an outlier."

The poll *I'M* hanging my hat on. Weren't you the one who posted it as some sort of silver bullet?

At any rate, as I've already said, white working-class defections in the primary have no utility whatsoever in the general. Besides, I have every confidence that both Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton could win in November, as could my neighbor's three-legged dog, against John McCain.

Keep trollin'.

Yes, Obama is "imploding so horribly" that Clinton supers are defecting to him.

Enjoy your stay in Fantasyland. Don't drink the water.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light, Cythera.

It will avail you none come November, when that black man you so despise is elected the 44th president of these United States.

On the bright side, you can start stockpiling your sad, sick vituperation for his 2012 re-election bid.

Well, we shall see.

This may be the dumbest sideshow this woeful primary season has seen yet. Y'know, there MUST be some policy-related aspect of the campaign that the media could be fretting over today, than whether or not Kantor voiced unpleasant things about Hoosiers. Give me a fucking break.

As with Mickey Kantor's phantom epithets earlier today, I consider this a non-story. So Blumenthal e-mails people anti-Obama screeds constantly. As a Clinton supporter, that is his wont. And, unlike other writers/editors here we could mention, he announced himself as a Clinton guy early and resigned his position at Salon. Would that others here had followed his lead.

Also, I worked decently high-up in Democratic politics during l'affaire Lewinsky, and we were routinely getting fax-blasted by Blumenthal with the day's clips (almost all of which we'd already seen anyway, as had anyone else reading the news in the Internet era.) He's just one of those guys who is constantly sending out stuff. I'm willing to bet most of the people on his email-list have just considered him spam long before now.

I think today's count was +10 for Obama.

Electeds to Obama today

1. Rep. Peter DeFazio, OR

2. Rep. Mazie Hironi, HI

3. Rep. Donald Payne, NJ (Switch from Clinton, but +2 offset by Chris Carney, PA to HRC)

DNC to Obama today

4. Vernon Watkins, CA

5. Wilbur Lee Jeffcoat, SC

6. John Gage, MD

7. Ernest Epinoza (Mr. Super), CA

8. Joe Johnson, VA

Guam certifies today

9. Pilar Lujan, Guam

NM add-on

10. Laurie Weahkee, NM

So, it's Obama +11, Clinton +1...or Obama +10.

We've heard you, over and over again.

So see ya, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Kevin Harlan trots out that line all the time. Google it.

Hey, it's kept you in business this long. Why quit now?

"Edwards's perfidy will simply make Hillary's supporters dig their heels in deeper, because one too many old-time higher-ups have stabbed her in the back. The latest shall henceforth be known as Benedict Edwards, if not mud."

Uh, John Edwards never owed Sen. Clinton anything, nor was he ever in her camp to begin with. So I'm not sure how you could characterize his decision as a betrayal.

"Edwards knows damn well that Hillary Clinton actually cares about the people - blue collar workers, the poor, the uninsured - whom Edwards has long portrayed as his raison d'etre as a politician. Whereas Obama merely gives these constiuent groups lip service - when he even bothers to acknowledge their existence."

Clearly, Edwards disagrees with you.

Also, you're conflating blue-collar, poor, and uninsured with white...again.

KateTex, the racial argument you were making was implicit in your terms. And you know exactly what I was talking about. You've done it before.

As for this growing "list of enemies" and the purported McCain landslide, that sounds like the same bubble of delusion you've been operating in for as long as you've been posting here.

"I guess it doesn't matter since the "uncommitted" (uh huh) Donna Brazile told them to stay home so you don't need their votes anyway."

She's undeclared, not uncommitted. Read the transcript again.
