Obama surge? Or Clinton comeback? Superdelegates anyone? With the delegate count agonizingly close -- and proportional representation likely to keep it that way -- all bets are off.

    At this rate, the republicans won't need Karl Rove - they can simply read the comments on Salon for their daily diet of slimy ad material.

    There's a point at which criticism of the other side (Of the SAME FREAKING PARTY) makes sense. That point was passed about three weeks ago. We can't even see it in the rear view mirror now.

    The important thing is to support WHOEVER wins the nomination so that we have a sane person appointing justices and judges and the threat of veto is removed from a Dem-controlled Congress. In this respect, Hillary and O are both immeasurably better than McRambo. This constant bickering, which has less intellectual merit than the trash talk overheard at a high school football game, is counterproductive.

  • Actually

    But there is a different problem with Hillary. There are many - on the right and even some on the left - who HATE her. Not that it's justified, or rational, but they don't just dislike her. They HATE her

    Actually if you evaluate the demographics of her supporters it can be believed that the nut left's hatred of her has turned out to be a positive for her among working families that haven't voted Dem in some years. She's got working women, blue collar workers, Asians, Latins... She probably would have locked it up if the left hadn't been dumb enough to put up an obviously unready and untested candidate again and faction the blacks off with it.

    Remember HRC, not OBIE, already WON the big electoral vote states that Dems would desperately need to win: CA, NJ, NY, FL,MA and much of the SW.

    She's very popular with Latinos which would have been much needed to beat McCain. They like him but they love Hillary, but they don't care for the Koolaide candidate much. Thus given a choice of OB or McCain they will vote McCain.

    Without the Latin vote no way can OB win CA or NJ.

    And I just watched McCain rip him a new piehole tonight. I concluded it was OVER. That's before the press and the 527's start.

    I would suggest you fools stop obsessing with HRC and start worrying about McCain. I predict a landslide win for McCain of 45 states or more against Obie.

    Oh come now. Obama's been falling for his helpful advice for months. Race-baiting, Harry and Louise commericals, circulating the 90's RNC troll "scandals". Accusing the Clinton campaign of doing exactly what he was doing to them.

    Rove doens't need to do anything because he already got what he wanted. Dumbasses to support Obama and make him the candidate.

  • I predict a landslide win for McCain of 45 states or more against Obie.

    And that means a lot coming from someone who likely predicted Hillary would have the nomination wrapped up by Super Tuesday.

    We might as well flip some tarot cards while we're at it.

    What substance are you on? My guess is meth with an oxycontin chaser, the trailer park martini. The longer you type the dumber you get, and that wasn't easy to do, starting as Free Republic moronic as you did. So, type away as Her Highness recedes into her position as a mere senator. The fact that you predict a McLame landslide, with the war raging and the economy receding at the same rate as your few remaining brain cells, says it all: stoopid. love, Heywood

  • Tom Paine!

    I remember you from TT, your style and no-nonsense rhetoric. jim coil I belive was the moniker. I liked your posts then and I like them now. Good to see you again! I'd resub to TT but this Bushit economy has whacked me down in the cashflow dept.

    I haven't seen this level of batshit vitriol from the so-called "left" since the Cult of Naderizm reared it's ugly head.

  • villemar

    yes, I was on table talk, but haven't been for a couple years. took too much time bashing my head against the same brick wall. I honestly don't remember what I called myself then. It wasn't Jim Coil, though. I suspect my style, crude though it may be in this company, gives me away. At my age, suffering fools is not something I do. The purported Hillary supporters on these threads are transparent trolls and not democrats at all. They haven't the self righteousness of the Raff Nadir crowd, who tended to be scolds with their knickers perpetually twisted. Anal is just a thug with a keyboard and no access to a thesaurus. thanks tom

    High five at ya!

    It seems as though that even when you post the facts, the Obama Cult still manages to twist and spin things around! It is amazing the BS I read on the blogs from them...their statements are those of the Republicans! They use half truths to pose as the truth and the idiots run with it! I hear him say things like "I got this bill passed and that bill passed!" I guess his supporters are too dumb to know that one Senator does not pass bills! LOL!!!

    Stupid me! I thought it was all 435 members of the House and 100 members of the Senate that passes bills! Minus Obama because he is never there to vote! LOL!!!

    Divide and Conquer! Evil's recipe for disaster!

  • Here is one that would piss off the Obots and Karl Rove!

    If Obama makes it to the General, then McCain should blow everyones mind away and ask Hillary Clinton to run as his VP, then both of them can slam Obama and get the majority of the (R) and (D) vote! LMAO!!!

  • Here they come...

    "We know where either of their candidates will lead this country, and we dare not let them," he told supporters in Alexandria, Va. "They will paint a picture of the world in which America's mistakes are a greater threat to our security than the malevolent intentions of an enemy that despises us and our ideals."

    --McCain

    The Republicans never underestimate the power of fear.

  • Some for Obama...

    "Hope, my friends, is a powerful thing," McCain said. "I can attest to that better than many, for I have seen men's hopes tested in hard and cruel ways that few will ever experience."

    But that was all a setup for what came next. "To encourage a country with only rhetoric rather than sound and proven ideas that trust in the strength and courage of free people is not a promise of hope," he said. "It is a platitude." The crowd -- apparently also ready to look ahead to the general election -- roared.

    "They will promise to break with the failed politics of the past, but will campaign in ways that seek to minimize their exposure to questions from the press and challenges from voters who ask more from their candidates than an empty promise of 'trust me, I know better,'" he said. The line echoed criticism McCain aides have been making privately for weeks about how much more accessible their guy is to the press than either Democrat.

    --John McCain quote from the Salon war room

    If it's Obama, he's got quite a fight against these tactics... how do you fight the known with the unknown...?

    It's gonna be scary indeed. It's all about the swing voters.
