The numbers do support Obama in the fukked up Democratic primaries and do NOT support him in the fukked up general election. If the delegate counts were winner take all, like the Electorial college in the general election, Hillary is ahead in delegates. Winning the winner take all big states is not a nice to have in the general election, they are got to have. Did I mention the general election rules were fukked up? At least not any more so than the Democratic primaries, just in a different way.
If there is no clear winner or no kissy makeup between the Democratic candidates, and Obama decides to run as an independent, it helps Clinton in the general election by syphoning independents from McCain.
If Clinton decides to run as an independent it looks good for her, again due to Obama splitting independents with McCain and Clinton then mopping up with the democratic base.
Ain't life a bitch.
Obfuscation…
Whos the pot and who’s the kettle…
Whatever You say bounces off me back to you…
False facts…
Partial factcs…
Misleading statements….
Lack of debate integrity…
No I didn’t… Yes you did…No I didn’t… Yes you did…
Deeps discussions on who is the bigger poopy pants…
Enough absurdity to make Kurt Vonnegut return from the grave…
And so on ….
10% content 90% bullshit. Ahh the smell of politics in the air.
So let me join.
See now Miss Walker, anyone who says anything against little Miss Clinton you accuse them of being "blatantly misogynistic," -- madamfauntleroy
You do realize you completely undermine your point by referring to Clinton with the title “little Miss”. You might want to use the title “Senator”, it better hides your blatant misogynistic tendencies. Or maybe you can join manos and go outside and step on ants or squish beetles or something.
I don't think so.
Many O-supporters on blogs are definitively stating as the absolute TRUTH that Hillary is a monster. It was not a slip, it is a pervasive theme and under current in the Obama campaign. I can't wait until another advisor "slips" with a "cackling old bag on the rag" comment, or accidently lets Pakistan know that if they don't toe the line Obama will O-bomb-them. Whoopee lets have naive starry-eyed academics running around the world fukking things up worse than GOP idealogues already have.
We are THE ONES and CHANGE and HOPE implies a pompous self-anointing attitude which reminds me of the MORAL majority. They were neither a majority nor more moral.
Clinton asked someone for tax records and made a big deal about...nothing.
So now Obama asks Clinton for her Tax records and makes a big deal about...nothing.
For Obama it's not, "do as I say, not as I do", it's just do as Clinton does.
I thought the Reagen adulation was over the top and to a certain extent manufactured, GWBs was certainly manufactured by Rove at the peak of his manipulitive skills and power. Anyways I thought the American pie, nationalistic fervor was ridiculous and shallow but it did work for the base. In the end it was manipulated political adulation, this video breaks uncomforatbale boundries of personal adulation.
The chant in the video has a droning quality similar to chanting found in hindu temples chanting the name of the lord or gurus, or saints, but not political leaders. BTW the chants can be sublimly beautiful and are designed to quiet the mind and open the heart. ANyways this Obama chanting is different than GOP nationalistic and paternalistic fervor (“Go Team America!”, “Hail to the Chief!”) super-imposed onto a simplistic GOP personlity, this is all about Obama, this is cult of personality, over the top personal adulation.
The ad starts “We are One”, cool that’s uniting. Then it morphs to “We are THE ones”. Huh? Which ones are THE ones. Am I one of THE ONES? How do you get to be one of THE ones? By chanting Obamas name? And if there exists THe ones, doesn't that mean "we are not one"?
If this ad is brought to the forefront in the national election, it would hand the election to McCain in a heartbeat...unless McCain followers heard the chant as "go-bomb-them", "go-bomb-them", "go-bomb-them".
...we need an indefinite, unclear war.
No war, then no chance for unchecked power.
With war, plenty of opportunity for unchecked power.
The War on Terror. Not winnable. Not lose able. And can go on forever.
Perfect.
The 9th mystery of humanity relates to when a group confronted with undeniable facts, undeniable evidence, and incontrovertible logic, will deny the facts, deny the evidence, and complain the logic isn't logical. The 9th mystery also explains why many people still believe the earth is only 5,000 years old.
DemocraticUnderground and the Daily Kos are demonstrating the 9th mystery in practice, but that doesn't matter. What matters is how much traction this artificially manufactured race-baiting issue gets with the MSM.
And just to ask a stupid question to this stupid accusation. Does Obama get more votes if Obamas campaign lightens the videos to make him look less black?
Cultural Amnesia: "The Clinton camp has done a masterful job of putting Obama in a position in which he has to decide on whether stoop to her level..."
Give me a break with that completely ignorant and uninformed assertion. Go to this link.

There is nothing "high road" about Obamas campaign. Never has been. It's campaign slogans, get it? There's campaign slogans and then there is reality. See? They are different. Not the same. Different. If I sound condecending, then good because I am sure sick of all this Obama sainthood, high road, not stooping, new and holier cow poopy.
Obamites can now come down to earth and join the rest of us sinners.
