Good Evening!

@Uncle Fester
No need for a comb. Just use a razor -- Occam's. 'Nuf said.

@ Fester
And to you, baldheaded, vaguely unsettling, yet ultimately benign freakshow!

@jack, not so fast
Hillary Clinton has actually already won the democratic nomination if you remove the republican vote fraud.
Haven't looked at every state yet won by Obama and Hillary (and some are missing) BUT it looks like Obama still wins Iowa and S. Carolina on democrat only votes. Hillary still wins NH. And Obama won a key purple state, Wisconsin, with 53% of the democrat vote. I'm sure the margin of victory would shrink, and some states might flip if republicans and independents are subtracted, but alleging fraud is a bit much. I would also mention that a lot of independents are ex-dems and any candidate will need to be nice to them in order to previal in November. Just a thought whilst we go around telling different voting blocks they don't matter because they live in the wrong spot or vote funny or are just voting their bias.

Salon is rockin' today
We had a cat fight on the other Salon site and now a dog fight on this one :) It's gonna rain cats and dogs soon. What a cliffhanger

Clinton:
"Hey y'all. While you were all figuring out my big lie about me being under siege in Bosnia, I finally figured out my righteous position on pastor Wright. Rev. Wright is obviously not patriotic enough to be Obama's pastor. By the way I misspeak lots of times, which is not the same as a baldfaced lie. Continue to support me, I'm the one who oozes tarnished integrity and borrowed experience."

@AJ Never did like that razor
On a personal note, I never did like that razor. "All other things being equal..." Well how do we know everything else is equal? And did we leave something out? So we have to run around and prove everything else equal and we probably need occams's razor to do that. Oh no! An infinite regress.
My theory, only partially substantiated by the facts (haven't crunched all da numbers, for starters) is that the percentage of Republicans voting for Hillary has been growing as the campaign season continues. And as this percentage has grown so has the number of spoiler votes, either against Obama directly or to extend the campaign season. I'm assuming that earlier in the contest, Republicans had significant, viable choices to make. Based on the fact that many republican candidates had large negatives within the party (Romney, Guiliani, even McCain) that Republicans voted for Obama because they either really wanted Obama or really really disliked Hillary. I know that's subjective, but animosity to Romney shouldn't be underestimated. It's one of the reasons McCain is the nominee. Later on, after McCain sewed it up, it's more likely that Republicans started voting Democratic to skew the results, and not out of who they want to win in Nov.
I usually say that's my 0.02 euro, but this one is probably worth only 0.01.

I bet you wish you'd filed this story before
Clinton's campaign imploded. It's kind of irrelevant now isn't it?

Hillary is a Woman. Hillary is an idiot. Does that mean I'm Gender-Biased?
Hillary is a woman. And she's an idiot. Does the fact that I'm a male and that I'm saying that mean I'm a mean, bad, horrible man?
I think some of you would say... yes. And that makes you an idiot.
Because now, we're just talking about gender and who called who an idiot and what gender it was of the one who said idiot first...
WTF?
Get a life, people. Hillary would be an idiot if she were a man or a monkey. And whatever gender or race or age she happened to be, if she demonstrated the idiot-like behavior that she is displaying now, I would still say.... she (he or it... say that three times fast).... is an idiot.
Like any of you harpees who think that actually Hillary's problems, which she creates herself daily, are because of ... men.
Without Bill, a man, she would be just another shrew lawyer, probably still shilling for Wal-Mart... part of her "35 years of lies"... I mean experience.

AnOptomist
If you think all women are idiots, then yes. You are gender biased.
If you say Hillary is an idiot (which she is), and she happens to be a woman, then no.
Hillary has run a pretty idiot campaign and has been sabotaged by her idiot husband. Who would have squandered so much money and such huge leads going into the primaries, but the idiot Clintons.
But what brought this on? I did not see any posts here that accused anyone of sexism.
-
@madam what brought that on?
It was a presumptive strike.
-
madam
stupidism yes. sexism no.

manos99 darlin'
I am a fan of the Optimist and he ain't stupid. Just frustrated like the rest of us.

gotcha.

manos99
You may have meant stupid posts and not stupid Optimist. My apologies.
Optimist, I am still waiting for that movement to run Hillary out of this race. I belong to MoveOn but don't see no movement.
-
pardon me madam
but what's the hold up?
-
but what's the hold up?
on what? Can you elaborate?
-
Is it hold up to start a grass roots movement to get Hillary out of the race, sooner than later?
Is that what you mean Manos?
-
yeah
that's the gist.
-
Get Hillary off the train wreck
Manos, Optimist suggested that people sign up with MoveOn.com. There is something brewing there. Will keep you posted.

This guy has a plan:

Mon Oncle
I already did this with my senators a while back and lo and behold, one of them said, she would follow the rules of elected delegates.
But we cannot wait another week. Hillary is well on her way to destroy the party.
-
gawd
whatever, just get the hook on her already.
-
Following the process
If you want to find a super delegate, start looking under rocks.
-
This website has the list of uncommitted delegates
http://www.rollcall.com/politics/endorsements.html#Obama
You can send them emails. Just google. Every last one of them has a website
-
cool
mount some momentum.
-
Here is another list of uncommitted superdelegates
http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegates-who-havent-endorsed.html
Best to start with your state first and build some momentum
-
I agree with you guys
It's time to cut through fudge of this slow trickling sludge and it's high time for the supers to wake up and budge.

HILLARY CLINTON LIAR!
What Hillary said about Bosnia and Ireland Peace negotiations and every single allegation against Obama to date was not a "mistake" was not a "gaffe," she did not "mispeak," SHE WAS LYING! How can anyone seriously write about IF she gets the nomination? She has shot herself in the foot so many times we've lost count. What does it take for her to destroy herself and guarantee McCain the presidency? The Democratic party needs to end this disgusting fiasco NOW!
