unnecessary

dare I remind the ostrichian left that Hillary carried New Mexico over Nobama AND McAin't by 12 points. She even gave McCaint a run for Arizona which Nobama will never do. Despite Nobama's usual thuggery in Nevada she carried that too BECAUSE of working class hispanics- even if the kook left awarded the states delegates to Nobama in their usual self-imploding idiocy.

It's been obvious since super-Tuesday hispanic voters, by any indicator, the future of the country wanted Hillary and not Nobama. (As did everyone except white male liberals and their college aged offspring and of course ghetto blacks).

You didn't listen and now even blue states are in-play. You wanted the Obama headlines. I daresay you'll get them too in the form of the biggest electoral landslide since McGovern.

Only the left could have f_cked this year up. No one else at all.

Who you callin stupid?

Don't call others stupid. You had a choice and Pennsylvania (along with every other battleground and big electoral vote state) TOLD you they wanted Mrs. Clinton. Working Americans, women,the elderly, union workers, hispanics, Catholics - EVERYONE wanted Hillary except biggotted blacks and out of touch white male supposed "liberals".

It IS the economy. It has been all along. Mrs. Clinton presided over the best economy of our lives. Yes, Republicans have flunked out but nobody believes Barrack Obama can do any better. His record certainly wouldn't indicate so.

@Alex- No I don't like him.

"scientific poll" that shows white Dems just don't like that uppity elitist fellow with the funny name.

No, I don't like him. Best I can see he's dedicated his life to bettering his bank account, destroyed the Democratic party by insisting on being a celebrity and running with NO record of accomplishment at all and by all evidence knowing he could never win. His entire "career" if you want to call it that is using office to get raises for his wife and running for his next office. From his alleged "community work" to his sham of a job as Senator, nobody at all seems better for his ever being there. Add to that a long line of associations that demonstrate piss-poor judgement from Ayers and Resko to Wright and yes, the Kennedy clan.

In fact the only thing I like less than Barrack Obama are his vapid, bankrupt supporters.

November 2nd can't come soon enough.

Two more days

Is there some reason that you can't wait for two days before the election? Maybe it's because unlike supporters of Obama, who believe that a president should be as educated and intelligent as possible, you're in the McBush camp: edumacation is overrated and intelligence is misunderestimated.

Two more days for you hate-filled geese to mail checks to Barrack Obama. He'll live fine on the money he keeps from you fools tool.

Oh, and I'd love to know what's so "smart" about Barrack Hussein Obama. Convincing the supposed "liberal" wing of the party to commit political suicide by pretending to oppose a war you voted for is hardly a new concept. It's been going on for about 40 years.

Similary if you crackpots are so smart than why'd you insist on shoving a candidate on the ticket hat >80% of the electorate and over half of the party was sending you everything but flashing neon signs saying they wanted no part of him.

@pacificwhim

Let's bottom line this, kids. We have a promising but largely unknown quantity in Obama, versus an experienced but known flip-flopping Bush disciple who's emotionally unstable and in questionable health in McCain. Given the choice between a disastrous known quantity and an uncertain one that offers at least the potential for improvement, I'll take the unknown every single time.

Agreed on Bush. But you had your choice of at least four viable Dem candidates from Hillary to Richardson to Biden to Dodd.

The rest of us, well over half the party, tried to tell you it was a bad idea and you insulted us. We TRIED to tell you GOP was tricking you into selecting your weakest candidate and the GOP owned press was coddling Obama and that the myriads of supposed "supporters" on the web including here who suddenly vanished as if Houdini blinked them away the day Obama sealed the nom were really Religious Rightwingers. And so forth.

You insisted upon the utterly unqualified and ridiculously self-serving Obama to rankle your ideological extreme opposites on the right w/o any objective regard as to how (un)wise it was.

Well, I hope it was worth a landslide electoral defeat,likely the biggest since McGovern too. And the end of the slim Dem majority in Congress. And quite sincerely the end of the party. Working women were the real base of the party and they're not coming back.

Frankly your anger belongs with Obama himself who declared war on his own party, dinosaur losers like Kerry and Kennedy and Gore who resented the Clintons for their success,and of course yourselves and for trolls like "Klytus" who has NOT done you a service by willfully disrupting all meaningful dialogue back when this could have been saved.

Shrug.

@vwcats

No,it's not age. It's record and accomplishment. Mrs. Clinton earned her stripes. Obama has not. Period. People have to take on blind faith a man who never made any real difference at any time in low offices will suddenly make a big diff and is ready for the hardest job in the country. By any objective perspective it's ridiculous to expect they would.

And everytime you play the race-card you just make the loss bigger. People resent that.
