We Have To

Watch our left wing as closely as the GOP has to watch it's right..... Change is in the air and people are upset and looking for something new, so our left wing says---Okay, here's a young inexperienced black guy with a pastor who says God Damn America. Jump on board everyone.

It's kinda funny really.

Jack

It's not ending it's just the beginning....Even if Obama wins the nomination and miraculously wins the general and then his hope and change thingy falls flat on it's face, Hillary will come after him, the sitting president, again in the 2012 primary.

Let's Be Clear

Obama's initial statements on Wright were the most incredulous, ridiculous words ever uttered by an American politcian. It mortally wounded his candidacy, now we just have to decide if we are going to go ahead and let him lose the general.

Hillary Mis-spoke About One Event In Bosnia

Obama forgot about 20 years on Wright.

What They Need To Do

Is make it double elimination at the Final Four level.

Hillary

Is simply teaching the democratic party how to fight. Primaries or general. The Obama folks have a generous portion of wimp in their psychological make-ups. That's been changing a little thanks to Hillary. ....We've been picking our nominee early with no fight. How's that been working out for us.....I mean other than the Clintons who have been the only democrats to win, save one 4 year term of Carter, since 1968.

I Tell Ya One Thing

Obama does not qualify to be a leader if he hasn't already called that new preacher at Trinity and told him--"Look Dog, when you get filled up with the holy ghost and start yapping, watch out what the hell you say."

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 01:05 PM

The Clintons Were First

Bill raffled off the cigar.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 12:50 PM

dawn

They are willing to admit to not being first sometimes----The new preacher at Trinity Church in Chicago said in his Easter sermon that what happened to Wright and Obama was a crucifixtion.

Marilyn Monroe

Princess Diana and Hillary.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 12:12 PM

And it seems to me Hillary lived her life

Like a candle in the wind.

(My spine is tingling)

Nasturtium

"Any tropical American plant of the genus Tropaeolum having pungent juice and long-spurred yellow to red flowers"

Huh?

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 10:47 AM

Hey Listen

I'm mellow about this stuff. I had dinner with my brother the other night. He's not political at all. He dislikes Hillary immensely. He thinks the republicans are turds. He just follows the news and comments. He thinks Obama is the front man for the black radicals. I have no idea what percentage of the population he represents.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 10:42 AM

I Didn't Demand He Leave his Church

I said it's not fair to the entire party to drag that church with him in to the general.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 10:14 AM

Well If The 3 And a Half Year Olds

Are for Obama I stand corrected. That means he must be the best candidate for the general.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 10:07 AM

debaser

If Obama is not the nominee for whatever reason no black will vote democratic for a generation? That sounds a bit like blackmail to me.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 10:02 AM

The Two Choices With Honor

Were to drop out of that church or drop out of the election.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 10:00 AM

debaser

My scenario? How would the African American community react to Obama doing the honorable thing and dropping out?

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 09:54 AM

I Gotta Admit

I love it. It wasn't but just a little while back that these Obama supporters thought that he would give a warm and fuzzy speech every now and then, all democrats would step aside, then he would give a few more warm and fuzzy speeches and he'd get 60 percent in the general.

Welcome back to planet earth.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 09:32 AM

Well

It's a longshot but at some point Obama could do the honorable thing and drop out----"I cannot drag my perceived radical church in to this general election at the cost of the entire party, both my supporters and Senator Clinton's. The stakes are too high in this election."

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 09:05 AM

I Am A Lonely Visitor

I came too late to cause a stir,

Though I campaigned all my life towards that goal.

I hardly slept the night you wept,

Our secret's safe and still well kept,

Where even George Bush has got soul.

Even George Bush has got.

Soul.

Soul.

Obama And Trinity Church Getting Blasted

And Hillary getting a pass are the chickens coming home to roost.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 05:46 AM

The Obama Campaign

Is fatally crippled now. I anticipate proceeding forward anyhow as if nothing has happened, then when he loses the general, the Obama people will blame Hillary.

I'll Always Have A Warm Spot In My Heart

For the Olympics. The best moment in sports history was when Russia heaved that length of the court pass for the layup to beat America in hoops. The replay still gives me goose bumps.

The Best One

Was when we boycotted the Russian games for attacking Afghanistan. Before we attacked Afghanistan.

How Would This Stack Up Against

I didn't know about any of that stuff for 20 years. I just saw it. I'll give a speech in a couple days about it.

Fester

Richardson is a super. Hillary won New Mexico. How's he voting?

Monday, March 24, 2008 11:19 AM

Bryan

There's several months between the convention and election day. If Obama wins the nomination and loses it's because he is an inadequate candidate. Nothing else.

Monday, March 24, 2008 10:54 AM

blacktop and Political Realist Are Now On Record Also

If Obama loses the general, it is Hillary's fault.

Monday, March 24, 2008 10:39 AM

Bryan

Okay we got you on record. Now when Obama loses in the general you can't blame Hillary right?

The Ones Who Decide Who The Chokers Are

Are stretched out on the couch. Their only chance of choking is on a swallow of the hot dog or a wing bone down the wind-pipe.

Now

Losing the 5th or 6th round is losing early for them.

Unless

Kansas was to win it all. Then they might stop. That's the choices for Kansas now. Chokers or champions.

Monday, March 24, 2008 09:57 AM

Hillary Has The Obligation And Duty

To stay in until the convention and at the convention try to poach pledged delegates. She wants the democratic party to win the general. That always pisses of the left wing of the party.

Monday, March 24, 2008 09:47 AM

I Don't Think The Clintons Like The Handwriting

"Step aside so this other guy can lose the general."

Original article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily

Pesky details

You are fighting against a whitewater current here. What happens is this....The fans and media start saying something at some point like singling Kansas out as being chokers or regular early losers. Actual numerical comparisons and contrasts are irrelevant. They are just going to keep saying it until they die.

Monday, March 24, 2008 09:35 AM

There Is No Doubt

That the people with brains in big positions in the republican party would rather run against Obama.

Monday, March 24, 2008 09:13 AM

If Hillary Wins Pennsylvania Big

Then wins North Carolina, Indiana, and Kentucky, they'd be morons not to pick Hillary.
