If it comes down to just the black vote in Detroit against the rest of the state Obama will assuredly lose both Michigan AND the election.
Gee, that's a lot of eggs in one hat. The worst chances Dems have had since McGovern in fact.
Suddenly it's looking like all the race-baiting and voter disenfranchisement and piling on the candidate winning in the big electoral states wasn't such a good idea after all
And this is BEFORE the Repugs roll out their October surprise and we can all rest assured they will and it will be bad.
You're right. I told the nutty Obama supporters these mysterious sign-ons that seem to show up as vapid Obama loons were rightwingers. The left is a little slow though you understand. The more things change. Et al.
Rewrite history as if by wiping him out they can redeem their ideology. You got everything you wanted in Bush II and we know how well that turned out. Another major book comes out about Bill Clinton tomorrow jeanrenior. Do you realize how much people such as yourself have contributed to his mystique. Keep on hating, Clinton's laughing all the way to the bank. My god even Richard Mellon Scaife has come around.
I'm glad for that. It's fitting that the best Administration of our lifetimes has the last laugh.
McCain looks older, stiffer, and less adaptable by the minute. We have terrible things before us economically. We can't continue with Bush's guns and butter too philosophy.
We won't. Regardless of who wins. The radical right's idea to bankrupt the govt fiscally to avoid the Dems ever having money to spend again has been successful beyond their wildest dreams. And this was BEFORE a 700 billion dollar banking bailout that is unlikely to work.
McCain could croak and then we would have Palin -- a radical idealogue whom I don't believe can think outside the box she has hammered herself into.
He could. Palin certainly hasn't governed as a radical idealogue. She's been cutthroat, but so has Obama. Obama is supposedly liberal leaning and a friend of the downtrodden yet his record simply doesn't demonstrate much interest in that arena. She's inexperienced; perhaps scarily so. But then so is Obama. One really has to take on faith that they both would have the good sense to appoint people who know more than they do.
Understand I prefer a Democratic government to a Republican one. But the fringe left has become as bad as the fringe right,blinded with fury, seething, and incompetent.
Your also right that I am anti-feminist....but to be clear, I am anti-radical feminist, you know the extreme wing of the party which is just as scary to me as the right wing.
I can understand your feelings considering the vast influence "radical feminists" (whoever they are) have had on American politics for the past 30 years and wholesale stranglehold on the Democratic Party.
Yes, this WAS sarcasm. I'm making certain you know as Barrack Obama seems to have a vacuum effect on the iq of his supporters.
Quite frankly I wouldn't count your chickens just yet.
In fact I highly recommend you not doing so.
I'm glad Hillary is working for Obama, but that doesn't change my opinion of her as caluculating liar and the centerpeice of the DLC / Republican lite movement within the Democratic party.
Quite frankly having seen what YOUR wing of the party has brought from McGovern and Mondale to Howard Dean, John Edwards and Barrack Obama please let me say I'm firmly in the bank of the DLC and the "Republican lite movement" : you know the ones that actually WIN elections and are a little bit to the right of Kennedy, Kerry and Lenin.
Bill is the last sitting Democratic President, and he was the head of the party, and then the ex officio head
And also the ONLY Democrat to win two terms since FDR and he and his wife to constantly beat the Repugs at their smear avalanches- something the vapid Clinton trashers should have remembered before they propped up this near certain loser by any and all means.
He's made it clear on many occasions that he supports Obama, just not to the extent the remaining Clinton-haters want him to. He will never do enough for them.
Yes. They've done more not only than any other primary runner up has done in Democratic history, but way way more than they could have been expected to given the primary incidents ranging from disgusting race-baiting to disenfranchising the voters of two battleground states, the fraud at skewed lefty caucuses and liberal loser dinosaurs from Kerry to Dean to repulsive John Edwards calling for her to drop out every 10 minutes.
It's a hell of a lot more than I'd have done for a sleazy albatross like Barrack Obama. Not to mention his vapid supporters.
No one "robbed" Hillary Clinton of the nomination. She lost it fair and square. Many of us who supported Barack had Clinton fatigue
Too sad a piling to even be a little amusing. Race-baiting,threatening delegates, skewed lefty-caucuses,registering Republicans as Dems to take her down in PA, trolls like Olbermann and Cafferty in the media, and every loser "liberal" attack dog from Kennedy to Kerry to Edwards and Lehry calling for her to drop out of the race despite her winning. Disenfranchising Florida and Michigan (that's working out well for ya, isn't it)
It would be easier to say what the nut left didn't do to their most promising candidate.
That Obama is not huge margins in front of McCain given all that is going on is quite telling of how weak a candidate he is.
If he does win, which is unlikely, it will be despite himself rather than because of it.
@nancerich
Try reading my post a little slower, maybe then you'll understand my point
Much like asking the night to stop getting darker.
