amen on the door knocking perils. We did it when our first child was an infant, McGovern campaign in '72, in the hills of Berkeley and Kensington. We were as all American white bread looking as you can get. Clean cut, darling daughter on my back, gorgeous wife, and we still got sworn at and had door slammed in our faces. In Berkeley. For a Democrat. Imagine the bravery of the Freedom Riders, those bleeding heart liberals who went into the Jim Crow south to register voters; some died for their bravery. Maybe this campaign has a deeper purpose, not attributable to one man: to begin tearing out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. It's been over 150 years; let's get on with it. jeff
with big business and defense contractors' hands firmly up his ass, ronnie the ray-gun (the war hero who fought the Nazis in Santa Monica) spewed hate though his perma-smile. A bad dye job, a stack of note cards with someone else's ideas, and a B actor's bullshit melodrama, he was the worst President in the history of the republic, until Dumbya came along to get his brain dead ass off the hook. he was a sham, a fool, a liar, and a criminal. Iran contra was treason. He was stupid, but not that stupid. He knew what north and the fascists in the basement were doing. screw him.
WV has 28 delegates. Let's say Queenie wins 20, Obama 8. Net gain 12. She lost 4 super delegates today. Net gain 8. Oregon, with four times as many delegates, votes a week from now. He leads by about 12. He'll more than erase her big victory in Inbred Acres, and that's not counting the super delegate erosion in the ensuing six days. She's done. It's over.
never been a sox fan. I'm a Giants fan since '58, and think the DH and astroturf are tools of the devil. guess that makes me kinda conservative, which, in the very old definition of the term, I am. What passes, like bad gas after a Taco Bell meal, for "conservatism" since the Ray-gun daze is what Ike warned about: basically, McFascism, big biz and gubmint in the missionary position, with business on top. That that syntax and stick it where ya want it. or, better yet, where you don't. jeff.
the morons that answered these polls couldn't respond to "how many fingers am I holding up". But they're hard working white Murkans. This is beyond irrelevant. the largest net gain billary will get fromt today is ten delegates. If we had 75 states, she might have a shot, if most of them were populated by old ignorant honkies.
Appalacia Inbreedia has 28 delegates. if she wins by 30 points, she'll get 18, he'll get ten. He gained four super delegates today. so the net result of this big win in an all white state is that she'll gain six delegates. Next week, she'll lose ten times that many in Oregon. The bitch ain't back. She'd done.
wow. she gained about six to eight delegates on the day, a gain that will be more than obliterated a week hence when Oregon, with several times the delegates of Inbred Transyllvania. She's done, and a big win among folk who go to family reunions to find someone to marry means jack cheese. At least it seems as if her tone is more civil now (read: resigned to the inevitable) and she's hoping Obama will bail out her mismanaged botched campaign, which is over 20 million overdrawn. Bye, Billary.
you must be so proud, you delusional Berlin bunker billbots holding out for the master race to come and save her. Bushit. She won in an all white state, and John Edwards, who's been out of the race for over four months, got seven plus percent. What's that tellya, bigots? That any white man, dead or alive, still on the ballot, would sweep in the inbred droolers who voted today. IF Edwards had stayed in, Billary would have had her ass handed to her today. Bottom line, for you math morons: on the day, the shrew gained about eight delegates, tops. While she swept the klan konclave, she got about 16 or 18 delegates. Obama got four super delegates. so, her deficit is still around 170 delegates. Oregon next week, where some non white voters live and where most of the electorate knows the alphabet, Billary trails by ten to twelve. Net result: next week will obliterate today's non event. She's morphing into Bride of Chucky or Eva Braun, hanging on till the last bloody frame of the film. Thank God May is only two and a half weeks longer. Then, she can piss off, as she should have done a month ago, at least. Whatever Klintoon legacy there was has been washed down the kitchen sink. She's blown the election; Big Bill loves that.
billary took an insurmountable lead a year ago and got her ass handed to her. West Virginie changes nothing. The shrew is through. If she had a heart for the country, she would have been gracious a month ago. God save us all, she should have taken Huckabee lessons. She's a hack and an egomaniac. And she will finish losing in the next two week. Unlike you morons, the super delegates, several a day, see reality. And Obama will win in November, despite the monkey wrenching by you drooling fools. If Edwards had stayed in, as well he could have, you'd have seen how a person with public service instead of pride as their guiding principle would have acted. She's as selfish as it's possible to get. The country, facing problems that could end this experiment in democracy, be damned; it's all about her. Poor, poor, put upon little girl, alternating with wolverine bitch. What a hack, what a loser. No wonder Bill found some other orifice for The Big One.
