And that's why Clinton will be the VP.

By the way, if you are a big fan of indiana polls. 9% of Clinton's votes were from republicans who hate her but voted for her because they were told to. You weren't counting on snagging them in november were you?

And if Clinton really is the greatest politician in american history (who said that? texas girl/katetx?) one would think she could have turned her pre-primary inevitablility into a candidacy, don't you think? She seems to have lost....

I thought to measure momentum you needed two points on a line...or maybe 10 or twelve.

Everytime Clinton had a single good night, she "got momentum" and her supporters get all fired up that maybe she has a chance after all. And then she loses delegates for awhile. And then a few weeks later, she gets "momentum" again. Obama gets delegates almost every day for the last 2 months and that forward motion (momentum) doesn't count for some reason.

I'm cool with giving florida the delegates according to the split (although it might not go that way now...some polls suggest if the elections were held today, Obama would win New Jersey and come close or take california). Michigan is different and probably screwed. 50/50 would be most fair though the compromise rejected by Clinton's folks was most generous. In any case it's worth narrowing the lead to take away one of the arguments.

As for "she hasn't lost yet". Perhaps if I see Spock with a beard I'll know I slipped into an alternate universe where command changes occur suddenly and at the point of a knife. Until then I'm kind of math based and it looks like she "will lose" (if you like that better than "lost")

I didn't respond to your "heartfelt" question because I thought you were trotting out the same old victimization complaints as a rhetorical question.

The Clintons ARE the DNC. They made the rules that you yell about now. They own the party machine which is why she was a hundred and something superdelegates up before the first vote was cast. And they are "playing to win" ("fighting dirty"). You don't see it because we don't want to see ugly in people we admire but it's there. As recently as 2 months ago I stated Bill Clinton was the best ex-president we ever had. I cannot say that anymore.

But those pesky voters...and party activists...and change-mongers. Boy did they screw things up.

Why does doing the same thing "wrong" over and over again (especially after publicity) prove that you are just well intentioned incompetents instead of organized schemers.

The text of the posting makes it clear that an october surprise would be to benefit mccain and the status quo. Maybe if you had put the quotation marks around "help" rather than "october surprise". Or maybe just "Another Right Wing Nut Job Thinks Americans Will Die Because of Democrats!"

Does that mean you're finally leaving us? Don't tease me now.

If only you could have posted this masterpiece a month or two ago and the trolls could just link to it with a one line URL rather than their own repetitive screeds.

It would have saved all the scrolling down I've had to do.

Just thinking about W turning states evidence tickled immensely. The rest was so-so but the first panel! Ah, bliss.

Carville would have stood firm on the deck until the water was at least up to his nose.

So who shall call him Judas for acknowledging the facts?

Winning or losing West Virginia in the general is not the end all-be all of american politics. But here we have a string of upset democratic congressional victories which, in some ways, may be BECAUSE of Obama rather than IN SPITE of Obama.

I'm sure the superdelegates are very concerned with fairness, and keep voters enfranchised and all that. But what they are really concerned with is who has the longer coat tails and who will help relect them in the next couple of elections.

28 years Air Force here.

Either you are "inaccurate" about your time in service or have mistinterpreted the regulations. You may not participate in partisan politics in uniform or in any way that implies official policy (something violated by many republican generals over the last few years). You may not coerce a subordinate to vote your way. You may not use your rank or position to advance partisan political causes.

Now those can be sticky and are open to interpretation but to imply a military member should remain politically ignorant or may have no constitutional rights is wrong. If you think we must always "shut up and color" then you slept through the "illegal orders" part of your briefing.

And yes, it's a volunteer force. We volunteered to serve and protect our country, not act as flypaper.

if only because I started out an edwards person and wanted validation for my current leanings. Still a superdel is a superdel and this does deflate a bit of the overinflation resulting from WV (Have you seen the letters on the Hillary is 44 website? If I were Clinton, I'd be embarrassed at the fawning adulation in the letters).

So is the plural of judas judases or perhaps judi? Is it a flock, cluster, or pack of judases?

30 bucks is all you gave? Illegal or not, that's pretty cheap. She's asking for donations twice with every victory/concession speech. Especially if it is illegal for you to donate, you can give thousands (she needs it!)
