You are confused, but that's because you're ein Deutscher

You say

"There simply isn't such a thing like a natural right (god-given?) for Obama to win this. Hello again, do not fall back in sweet slumber! There simply isn't!

Of course Obama has some more delegates on his side. So what? Can he get the majority of convention votes by own strength? Can he win big states that really matter in the actual presidential race?

And, to state the obvious: The super-delegates are part of the game and they may and will have to decide what's best for the party and — even more important — for the country, maybe even for peace on earth. If they have to strictly follow the line of primary voters (and caucus-results! how democratic are they really?), who invented these super-delegates in the first place and what for? Anyone?"

You must be an idiot or something. In point of fact, O Oblivious One, no one denies that Hillary should continue her quest, unlikely and fruitless as it will be. The matter at issue here is the MANNER in which she does that. The TACTICS are wrong, divisive, and will be destructive to Democrats in the long run. It's Hillary's fault. She needs to clean up her act, and be a good girl, not a bad girl, until April 22 and Obama wins PA.

@electro clinton suckup

"any comment that's not prostrate with the trappings of deity upon the Obama are construed by his acolytes as treason, as the worse kind of immoral infraction, an insult upon God Himself. "

It's clear that you are at a minimum deluded and possibly very ill.

RE: Scaife the little turd.

Isn't that WONDERFUL about his messy divorce? I am just so pleased to see him taken out by this scandal.

I hope he loses it all.

Arithmatic

At this point, Hillary must CRUSH Barack in all upcoming states, or she will lose. ANYTHING less than a 20 pt win is a loss. Anything less than a 20 pt win in NC is a loss.

Of course, she will continue to try to damage Barack. But he is now the Teflon Guy. She is the Glue Girl. Every time she says something unpleasant (like when she talks), she loses ground.

At this point, she has a negative approval rating IN DEMOCRATIC WOMEN.

I believe that Barack can win PA, myself.

Clinton Cultists

The members of the Clinton Cult of Personality continue to lie.

The Clinton campaign and it's collection of love-sick Hillary-swooners is the problem.

They continue to say "Obama is a bad bad man" and "Hillary, she's so brave and .... she won't back down" and they NEVER NEVER NEVER actually say exactly what Barack has said that is so bad, bad, bad.

That's because it's a big, big, big, lie.

Hillary has said that John McCain is more ready to be POTUS than Barack. Has Barack ever said anything as treasonous and disgusting as this? No.

Bill has ssid that Hillary and John love our country, and left out Barack. Has Barack made this sort of odious, disgusting statement? NO.

The Clinton camp, desperate to win at any cost, continue to make this sort of statement. Obama's camp has not. In particular, Obama himself has been a model of correct and reasonable behavior.

Hillary can continue to butt her head against the wall until she passes out. Hey, have fun, honey. But, while she's doing it, she should be a good girl, not a naughty and bad girl.

Today in Texas

the final leg of the Texas Two-step takes place.

For Hillary and her band of desperate cult of personality wacks, this might be a bad bad bad day, because it is gonna be clear that Barack won Texas.

you win by getting the most delegates. And by the end of today, Barack will have more delegates out of Texas, and will have won.

Drink some more koolaid, Cultists, and think long, loving thoughts about Our Girl, and how Brave She Is. Meanwhile, we Obama backers will be organizing.

@alecsmom / @joan

Today is the final step of the Texas Two-step.

At the end of today, we will hear screaming, whining, complaining, and bitching. That will be the Clinton Cultists, because today is another Caucus day and nothing makes a Clinton Cultist more frazzled than listening to Obama supporters explain why they support Obama, and THEN THEY VOTE AGAINST OUR GIRL! HOW CAN THEY! UNGRATEFUL TWITS!! NASTY BAGGINS!! IT'S MY PRECIOUSSSS MY PRECIOUSSSSSS.... oh wait a minute, that's another obsessed, irrational character, not Hillary.

At the end of today, Obama will have more Texas delegates. That means he will have won.

What an asshole.

"In the first place, Ehrenreich is no longer taken seriously by progressive feminist leaders in Washington (and I'm not sure she has ever really been taken seriously) because she has lied numerous times in "stories" and articles she has written -- the most notorious being re: her "experience" as a waitress."

Ehrenreich is a great person. She's a much greater person than you, you pissant. You sit here, in your incompetence, passing judgement upon people who do good things, and all you can do is stink up the place. What have YOU done to give YOU, you incompetent little turd, the right to pass judgement on her?

Go away, you piece of shit. Nobody here likes you. It's clear you're a piece of shit, who is incompetent at everything.

What a turd

"I spent many years in Washington, working for progressive causes and issues. I know a TON of progressive women's leaders there, from my work and the work of associates over the years."

Well, considering what a total loser and jerk you are, I doubt any of them take you seriously at all. You know, nobody knows you here. ANd you come here dissing Barbara Ehrenreich, who has actually done important work, and you, you little bitch, take her down and diss her because she has a different opinion than you.

What a turd.
