    I'm happy to inform you that if this Hillary campaign becomes a memory, there will be another.

    One post talking about weeping and hope the next post name calling and cursing...tsk tsk...who you trying to fool?

  • Obama Could Have Announced A Delay For That Speech

    [Read the article: Was Obama's speech enough?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    And his supporters would have said when, we want to cry. This is the classic example of the old saying that if he farted they'd say it smells like roses.

    To the tanking economy and foreign policy.....Let's save ending the partisanship between the two political parties, and the racial kumbaya for Jesus when-if he returns. Despite some people wanting Obama to pinch hit for him.

    It's very possible Obama could win the presidency and the racial divide get worse. The next 4 years are going to be big problems for any candidate, thanks to the mess left by neocon incorporated. Hillary could win and then get thumped the next time. If Obama wins he's going to have to serve 8 very successful years, and his flock will be ultra-defensive of any abuse or doubts which every President receives. Look how defensive they are now just in a primary. If things don't work and he gets booted in 2012, maybe through no fault of his own, the black resentment could increase.

    I don't play the poll-reference-link game......You give that, then there is something wrong with the poll or link that makes it wrong or inaccurate.

  • Yeah Yeah Yeah

    You cryed..........And if Hillary had a pastor for 20 years and said she just became aware of the big controversy when videos hit the media, and came out with a big speech to try and smooth things over, you'd be laughing and mocking.

    I'm sorry that the fantasyland of Obama giving some spine tingling speeches and everyone steps aside and he glides in to the Whitehouse by landslide didn't work out for you. Don't get mad at me.

    If there wasn't clearly enough votes beforehand Iraq would have been attacked before a vote or with no vote.

    Is a solid pick. How a team ranks nationally in per game points scored is much more indicative of a possible national champion than ranking high in per game defense--points allowed.

    What Obama meant yesterday until the O'Reilly-FOX body language expert weighs in. I thought I saw him blink once as he said "white people."

    The reason Hillary is slightly behind Obama is because of caucuses and no winner take all primaries.

    May not turn out to be so different. This war may still take a hunk out of Obama's backside before it's over. In the general or as President.

    Obama's blown a lot of smoke about hope and change----Hillary could be the democratic nominee in 2012 if Obama is President.

    Get this straight...........If Obama loes the general it's because HE was an inadequate candidate.

    May well implode. Either in the remaining primary, or in the general. I know one thing.....The incident or setback or attack followed by the recovery speech-sermon is going to get old at some point.

    The rules are 2025. If no one has that there is no rule that says the closest to it gets the nomination. I take it you are for a rules change.

    And if no one gets the prescribed number they hash it out some and take another vote. And so on. It could come down to neither of the two.....You mean if this happens once every blue moon it's going to destroy parties?

    If the superdelegates cannot absorb and react to something like the result of Wright over a few primaries and how that might translate to the general, once again with no one having 2025, what's the point of superdelegates?

    That the Hillary side would have to honor--- Look at these results and polling data. He took the Wright hit, which is about as bad as it gets, and it hasn't hurt him. Superdelegates to him. It's over.

    Without 2025 total, the Texas situation would be another example of a legitimate matter for a superdelgate to interpret.
