More and more this woman is a seriously disturbed individual.

And her husband is a racist.

Both developments took place since the day Barack Dukakis announced he would run before he finished his first year of his first term in the US Senate.

Any election that precluded campaigning (FL) or only had one candidate on the ballot (MI) is frigging INVALID

You'd like that to be true, wouldn't you?

Barack Dukakis ran ads in Florida and HRC didn't. Voters voted and they should count.

Barack Dukakis was too cowardly to put his name on the Michigan ballot because HRC was going to destroy him.

Voters voted. Barack Dukakis wants to get the nomination by excluding votes from two big states.

At the time of posting

Obama > by 4.7%

HRC > McCain by 1.5%

Within the democratic party, Obama > HRC by 11.2 %

LOLcait, I'd love to hear you give a lecture on fictional mathematics one day. Fascinating, I'm sure.

National polls don't matter. I would rather lecture you on the system we have in America called the "electoral college." Current polling shows Obama getting thrashed vs McCain and HRC winning.

In other words, the problem is not that she wished for Obama's death (because she didn't). The problem is that she will say and do anything to win without the slightest awareness of how it actually comes across when you will say or do anything to win.

No, the problem is you want people to pretend that making an academic argument including a 40 year old historical reference is outrageous when in fact it isn't.

Since it isn't, no one need have the "slightest awareness" of how it might be taken by either stupid people or people who want to pretend it's outrageous.

There really is almost nothing his detractors can use to indict him. He really is that good, that the only complaints Joan and others have about him is that they don't like his supporters. It feels like a reach, like partisans who want to hate someone for irrational reasons and can't find evidence for their nonsupport.

"Nonsupport." Because the supporting Barack Dukakis is the default position, right?

LOL

Do you Obamapaths have a clue how you sound sometimes?

Obama will triumph. Out with the old, in with the New.

I doubt it. Right now he has a shrinking base of 25% of the electorate.

In spite of a year of the cult followers yelling at us and the media telling us it must be so, the other 75% of voters just can't come up with a reason he should "triumph."

"Here it is: Can you imagine sitting at your dinner table discussing reasons a candidate should stay in a race and including RFK's assassination in your list? Of course you can because it's logical."

NO! I cannot. Not at all. Just, no. This is me being speechless.

So let's hear you making the argument that there is no reason for one candidate to exit the race because historically there have been other races that continued.

What will you do when RFK pops into your brain? Pretend it's too controversial to note? Censor your words because it's just too painful to mention 40 years later?

Bullshit.

Wow, so is THAT your perspective? Hillary, or no one else? Why do you assume that she is the only one qualified to run the country?

HRC is highly qualified. McCain is barely qualified. Barack Dukakis is unqualified.

Obama supporters fail to believe that there are millions of voters who hold the opinion that there are two qualified candidates in the race. Enough of us to make the difference.

You're not stealing this nomination from Obama.

If HRC wins enough delegates she will win the nomination fair and square in spite of Barack Dukakis trying to steal it by making sure there are no votes in Florida or Michigan (where the coward took his name off the ballot because he was getting creamed by HRC).

If Barack Dukakis wins it, then we'll just have to "steal it" in November.

Even assuming that this was nothing more than an jaw-droppingly stupid gaffe

Say what you really mean. What you really mean is "Even assuming this was nothing more than HRC failing to avoid giving Obamapaths a phony reason to screech and whine and claim this is an issue when they really know it's an ordinary fact."

That's what you mean by stupid gaffe isn't it?

How can you defend a statement like this ? Beyond having support for Hillary, can't you just take a step back and be a human being as opposed to a political autobot for once? She could have used so many references, (including Bobby Kennedy) but it was SHE who chose to utter the word assassination.

I defend it easily: I would include the RFK assassination in a list of reasons a candidate should stay in the race if I was at dinner with friends and acquaintances and nobody would think anything of it because there would be nothing to think. I would also use the word "assassinated."

The drama queen act is old.

It's too bad you're clinging to your conspiracy theories and the "Obama supporters are just nuts" theme.

I don't know if they're nuts, but I do know you're like babies in a playpen crying at the top of your lungs and banging pots and pans.

I do know they are ridiculous.

What it is is ultra dumb, insensitive in the extreme

None of you Obamapaths were hurt or saddened by the comment, you were glad you had a chance to jump up and down and scream and post messages on Salon.

That's what you do.

For assuming Obamapaths were adults or of sound mind.
