And tell me who has the greater appeal in the fall. These are the last ten contests:
Louisiana: +21
Nebraska: +36
Washington: +37
Maine: +19
Virgin Islands: +82
DC: +51
Maryland: +23
Virginia: +29
Wisconsin: +17
Hawaii: +52
Add these to the poll after poll that shows Obama over Mccain by 6-8-10 points in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Virginia, Colorado, Iowa. And Hillary LOSING to that mummified phony. Now please: can Joan Walsh stop wondering 'gee, which of our candidates can beat McCain?'
A codependent’s main intuitive talent is, when in the presence of delight, to recognize it enough to quickly squash it. See, codependents can’t tell inspiration from intoxication, bliss from buzz. They consider what looks like even a non-chemical buzz to be dangerous. (Where could she have learned that? And I would vote for Bill again too.)

I'm not sure where you live, but most places did away with requiring write-in candidates to be written in blood back in 1844.
And if you have a touch-screen, don't write on the screen in blood, that's just icky.
If you're really that determined to throw away your vote, they make it fairly easy.
The bias at Salon for Hillary is not the editorial staff. It's Joan.
I'd like to offer a simple explanation that pundit analyses are ignoring - he got more votes and he got more votes across several demographics. I doubt an orchestrated cross-over Republican conspiracy couched in 'defeatability'. Republicans that may be crossing-over, might actually be sincere in their support and might just be finally fed up with their votes the past two elections got them. The data thus far, show that he's pretty damned electable.
Words are important contrary to what Clinton may hope to convince us of. Words only become unimportant to me when they are simply rhetoric. One thing in Clinton's speech last night that scared the shit out of me and convinced me that I had made the right choice for me in voting for Obama was when she began to suggest that she was the best choice for a commander-in-chief in a 'dangerous/scary time'. Sound familiar? How many times did Bush push an agenda based on fear and at what costs? I want a principled and reasoned president - not one that incites fear and a false sense of security. I choose to be hopeful and I choose to not be afraid.
Bullshit. Obama's Senate mentor is Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL). Durbin has stood strong against Bush from Day 1. Unlike Hillary, he never supported the Iraq resolution so he's never had to avoid the issue and make hair-splitting excuses for himself.
I'm a Wisconsin Democrat and I voted for Obama yesterday. I know a number of Republicans who did the same, and their reasons were very simple. First, the Republican race is over. Second, they hate Hillary. I don't understand their hatred, I don't agree with it and I don't like it, but even moderate Republicans seem hopelessly infected by it. They don't want to face even the possibility of Hillary winning in November. This primary has convinced me that only Obama can win the general election.
Going positive would be a great move on a lot of levels, including the most pragmatic of all: going negative hasn't helped her numbers a bit. (The exit polling in Wisconsin shows that voters thought she attacked Obama unfairly.)
She has to know that she has only the slimmest chance of winning now. If you slice and dice the latest Gallup numbers, it's clear that her support among key constituencies is eroding.
She has an opportunity to go out on a high note, with grace and warmth and dignity. She has a chance to send a message to her supporters that she's not a victim, and neither are they. She's a talented, accomplished woman who entered into a very tough competition and lost. Nothing was stolen from her, or them. She competed and she lost, and there's no shame in that.
That's an uplifting, inspirational message -- one of empowerment -- and her supporters need that right now.
After that, she can take a few months off to wallow in the blues, cuss out the campaign advisers who served her so poorly, and then get back to work keeping John McCain out of the White House.
Alright, can we lay this tinfoil hat "Republicans are engaged in a massive conspiracy to get Obama the nomination because he's weaker" garbage to bed yet?
First, do you have ANY idea how hard it is to engineer something of this scale? I'll give you a simple comparison - ever tried to rig an online popularity vote? It's damn hard to do all by yourself...I mean even without any safeguards in place, you can sit there and click and click and click away and you make barely a dent. But you'll have me believe that there's literally tens of thousands of angry white men (in each separate state mind you...so that would make hundreds of thousands countrywide) that are sitting at home, just waiting for the message from central command to go out and muck up the other side's primaries? Don't you think any sort of concerted effort (and it would have to be concerted to make any sort of difference) would leave, oh I don't know, a paper-trail of some sort? That there wouldn't be at least one anonymous source tipping off the media or the Democratic leadership?
Second, in the unlikely case that there is some vast right wing conspiracy (where've we heard THAT phrase before...hmmm?) to nominate Obama it really REALLY doesn't matter. Remember ALOT more people vote in the general election, and even if the Obama Republicans go back to McCain, their numbers will easily be made up for by others.
let's ditch that asinine fable please...you insult the intelligence of everyone here.
She spoke the truth, and no one would believe her, about the impending doom. She probably wondered -- when will everyone wake up from this weird drug-induced hallucination that everything is going to be great?
Or I think of Bacchus and his entranced followers dancing in the forest, and ripping to shreds any male that dare interrupt their ritual.
He makes me want to go stand on a street corner and pass out pamphlets about the impending apocalypse.
I am completely baffled by the fact the groups that make up Obama's core supporters -- college-educated, making more than $50k, have fallen for his tired bromides and vague promises that will never come true, that they think Messiah will bring everyone together through some sort of magic peace dust.
Sometimes I feel like the only sane person around.
