Ha! Yeah, I have never taken the "if this person wins I am moving to [pick your favorite border country] seriously. Even with GW II I have faith that the Republic will go on.

But since you mention the 2006 elections, is anyone else (besides Glen Greewald) disappointed on how ineffective the democratic congress has been? I totally agree that the country is still very anti-Bush, except for the wing nuts, but that the democrats may have lost all the momentum of 1996 by not being any different.

That is not to say I disagree with either Obama's or HRC's passage of the war funding. I was not about to trust that GW wouldn't make a political statement a bunch of soldiers as cannon fodder.

But it just seems like the democrats just took their win and turtled in the face of fear based politics. The latest FISA vote being a great example.

Um, how do you say starbucks in Icelandic? I have to agree with W.E.S here (i know , I know!) the GOP is not going to go away as easy as you'd like. Consider:

1. In 1976 Carter almost lost ot a guy who only had the job because both the president and the vice president had to resign in disgrace

2. In 1992 Clinton basically won because Ross Perot killed Bush

3. In 1996 Clinton beat Bob Dole the most uninspiring re tread many had ever seen

4. In 2004 with it pretty much obvious that the president lied to get us into an unnecessary war and then gave all his friends a big tax cut while shorting our military of resources to fight his stupid war, the country re-elected him anyway just because they were worried that 2 guys might actually marry each other.

After 2004, I vowed never to underestimate the GOP or the power of fear-driven politics again.

So I am using a poll to predict he will win and you are using what to predict he will lose? At least I have a number. You're the one that got us into the prediction game.

Even you must admit the trend has shown over and over again that when he campaigns in a state, he rises at a very high rate. Look at California, Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio - Hillary started out with double digit leads and he erased every one of them. She won California and she may win Ohio but the trends have not been on her side . . .from Day 1.

'nuff said

Just because he's up in Texas and surging in Ohio?! No way! You should listen to your leader . . .

"I’d love to carry Texas, but it’s usually not in the electoral calculation for the Democratic nominee. Florida and Michigan are." - HRC

You know it's really too bad she can't invent a couple of states that don't have Obama on the ballot or where he can't campaign for a week and completely wipe out a lead that she got on name recognition alone.

Yeah they are getting kind of uppity these days aren't they. How dare they vote for someone whom you don't approve of.

Um, but I'd like to point out that both Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ran for president and were largely squelched. If you really want to blame someone for Obama possibly winning the nomination you really need to go ahead and blame us white folks.

Go ahead, n fact being from Georgia, I can help you out with a name - Ni**erlover. I am not going to fill it in but I am sure you can on your own.

But now I live in Chicago and I am, in fact very happy with my representation in the Senate, thank you.

Yeah, this article is pretty much so full of crap that i am not even going to bother just saying what everyone else is saying (that equality means that sometimes you lose, and Hillary is losing not because she is a woman but because she is her - oh and because her campaign has sucked as well)

However the last two days has just been some kind of death star explosion of venom, bitterness and outrage that I guess belies (hopefully) the death knell of the Clinton campaign. First we get the "shame on you Barack Obama" speech from Hillary - yeah, that's right, there's a way not to make yourself look strident and whiny. Then we get the "the media hates us" whine from the Clinton campaign media spokesman. Oh and finally the coup de grace . . .wait for it . . . "I’d love to carry Texas, but it’s usually not in the electoral calculation for the Democratic nominee. Florida and Michigan are." - Hillary Clinton.

I know that a lot of people would like to blame Hillary's loss on sexism and the media and whatever other boogeyman you can find to excuse incompetence but the fact is that her campaign has been getting its collective ass kicked since this thing started and, without the name recognition that she already started with, she'd be even father down in the hole than she already is now.

Yeah, good luck selling the Michigan and Florida. I guess the argument to the nation there is . ."hey, I can totally win in the general as long as my opponent doesn't campaign and in some states even isn't on the ballot."

Pathetic.
