    every word of your post, including conjunctions, interjections, participles past, present, perfect, and future perfect, is a lie. All the candidates- even the billious billary- agreed to the rules before the primary process began. Of course, your Midol-deprived princess was certain the nomination was hers because... well, just because. But that uppity nigra muslim guy done come along and got more delegates in more place, more votes, and more endorsements, more fundraising, and more victories. Boo fookin' hoo. You want Soviet election results co-mingles with legitimate primary results- you know, tool, where candidates actually run campaigns according to the agreed upon rules and all the citizens participate fully in that knowledge.

    your naked racism seethes through every fetid syllable. Your next vacation should be to Stone Mountain Georgia, shrine to the Confederacy. There, you and the rest of the klinton kloset klansmen can salute the leaders your revere the most.

    Yeah, Einstein, it's a big advantage to be black in American. I mean, think of all the black senators in American history. That would be four. Not at at time, buttmunch. Ever. How many have ever had a credible run for President? That would be one, the one you hate with every fat filled fiber of your deep fried being. I try not to take joy from the sorrow of others, but when Obama is inaugurated, I'll think you and your hate laden klan and smile. A big smile. Almost, you'd say, a coon smile. Now, lemme tap dance over and get me a stack o' buckwheats. Xenophobic moron.

    Only one thing counts about Billary's giving George n' Dick a blank check to make war: she was wrong. She was not alone in being wrong, but then a lot of folk disbelieve evolution and think the sun revolves around the earth. Her miscalculation, the most charitable term that can be assigned to it, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, millions of refugees, megabillions (soon to be trillions) pissed away out of the treasury, and a world view of America that is the worst it has ever been. She helped enable that. It can't be spun away. A leader with vision finds a way- say, FDR with lend/lease for example, against the popular wisdom, but without doubt the right thing to do. Hillary, bright as she is, is a follower. She's a calculator, a hedger of bets. She's triangulated so many times she could be a road sign. I know Obama is imperfect, as is every other human that draws breath. It's time to get the hell out of the Grand Canyon sized rut we've dug for ourselves, and business as usual is not close to enough. We need to go from revolting to revolutionary. It's not her fault. Her time is over. McLame's is even more over.

    I'll stipulate to (1), that racism, both overt and subterranean, exists in our country. It does not predominate, as it did a half century ago, but it will be a factor, among many, in the outcome of this election. I do not cede your second point: that the existence of racism makes electing Obama unlikely, or, implicitly in your post, impossible. It will require unity of purpose, energy expended by large numbers of volunteers, fundraising as has never before been seen, and aggressive counterpunching to the fecal fest from the fascists, which we know is coming. It's already begun. I'd say his campaign to date has shown those traits, to a degree almost no one- certainly not me- anticipated. Is it hopelessly naive to think a black can be elected President? No moreso than to think the same of a woman candidate- and, I'd argue, this particular woman has a steeper hill to climb because of the baggage she and her husband carry. Neither is a shoe in, and this ought to be a shoe in year. So, do you imply that we chuck both of them, the whole primary process, and go to a wild card who bears neither "stigma". Gore? He lost- okay he was robbed, but it shouldn't have been close enough to steal. Edwards? He was in the process and washed out in February. who else? Warren Beatty? George Clooney? Really, who is there to step into that brokered breach? I think we gotta dance with who brung us, as those hard workin' white folks say. Could we lose? Possibly. We would also lose any cohesion or believability as a party to punt the whole primary season because we have a close race between two capable candidates who share a common trait: no one like them has ever been elected, or even come close to doing so, in 220 years. Then, do we table for the foreseeable future the possibility of running a black or female candidate? Is that a tenable progressive position? No. Just plain no. If you can see a way out, please share it with us. jeff

    get a room, fascist tools, too stupid to know what a "paramary" is. Saturday night: time to get your hood out of the closet and go burn a cross. Obama is 54 delegates away from the nomination. Go blow a goat. jeff

    yoplait, that's out of the same Richard Mellon Scaife rag that billary blew for an endorsement to win the Alabama part of Pennsylvania. the bobbleheaded boob in the pants suit is about 700K votes behind, and that's about where she'll end up. the only count that matters, delegates, is in the bottom of the ninth with two out. Obama is 54 votes shy of clinching. Bend over. Grease up. change is coming through. boo fookin' hoo. How does it feel to be touting the Queen of Wall Mart, the shot n a beer Bosnian sniper shrew, as the feminist icon. she only stayed with the serial philanderer to have access to power. the shrew is through. go find shawn the pawn and rut like crazed weasels.
