    Penn is an ideal set up due to its unusual demographics, many who share your predominate trait: stupidity. She'll win by less than five, take a dive, return to the hive, where Big Bill will be makin' honey with some worker bee. Buzz off.

  • Democrats March of Folly

    It is unbelievable that Democrats are still sinking money into Hillary's campaign. She is the Republicans only hope of victory in November, and I don't doubt that they are her main supporters in Pennsylvania.

    Hillary is unelectable in November because the country knows her entire Presidency would be about her husband's indiscretions during the Bush years. Is there anybody who believes Bill has not had sex outside of his marriage since 2000? We cannot risk another soap opera in the oval office.

  • HRC in 2012

    Really the only explanation for Hillary still being in the race is to take down Obama in the general election. She wants Obama to lose to keep her presidential aspirations alive for 2012. If Obama becomes president Hillary can never be president. If McCain beats Obama, Hillary can run again in 2012, sadly it's the only explanation that makes sense for her.

    Who is winning the popular vote right now?

  • bernbart

    let's not forget about Nevada where Obama won the popular, err I mean won the most delegates. Dems + Math = Disaster.

    Maybe Obama can use all the money he rasied to ask Americans if they wouldn't mind giving Dems 1 1/3 vote for every Republican vote...Too friggen funny...We could call it the "Jesse Jackson Black Liberation Proportional Democratic Electoral College Equalization Augementor"...

  • Great Article

    Fresh, evocative, funny, perceptive, thoughtful, true.

  • YES!

    Nice article. I am very encouraged that the people of Pennsylvania (and beyond) are getting to vote. There is NOTHING destructive about the kinds of conversation and engagement described here.

    It's unfortunate that the primaries are so far apart but that isn't the fault of Hillary (or Obama) Any voice that says we must cut the process short is just fear mongering and undemocratic. The media obsesses only every negative scenario out of boredom and the desire to focus on controversy.

    It's great to know the people are smarter than that. I have learned so much about this country and our democratic process, about our history and about states like Pennsylvania who would otherwise be totally ignored. Think how disenfranchised the Republicans must feel, having to watch from the sidelines. Stop the sour grapes and embrace the chaos and diversity that is the Democratic Party. My faith in the Democratic process has been renewed. Thank you Ms. Traister.

  • we'll see how true it is rush limbaugh republcains, i mean clinton supporters

    Don't count yoru chickens before they hatched. :)

    Wait 8 hours. Then run your mouths. time will tell if "it is over" or not. We don't have any longer to wait than today. Even still you can't stop propogating. you opinon and gossip is not going to change reality.

    Let's see what happens today. If she loses she's out. I wouldn't be so cocky gop, I mean clinton supporters. Your going to ruin your credibility if you run your mouths nonstop and are wrong. no one knows what's going to happen. Hold your gossip and propoganda for one day, for pete's sake. Then when/if you win by your 3 points or lose by 30, you can run your mouths or cry about whatever yoru going to blame at that time. Can't you at least wait one day.

    you scared sabotuer republcains, I know. It's ok. One day of no right-wing propoganda isn't going to kill ya. Rush and hannity won't know. your safe. hahahahahahaha

  • If you have already voted in your state....

    ....and you are bored, angry or frustrated with the fact that your fellow Americans are being allowed to vote, also - then just ignore it! Stop trying trying to control something you have no control over. Go do something positive and productive.

    It's Earth Day. Let's all go plant some trees.

  • Texas/Nevada Primaries and Dem Math

    Folks, today we're getting a lesson in Democratic Primary Math...First, Lose a state like (Texas or Nevada) by more than 5 points. Then wave your magic Dem math wand and voila...

    in math parlance

    will of the voters/proportional delegates = unjustified delegate totals. Yup, makes sense to me...You too can use Dem math...Try it on your taxes this year...

    Sorry I was away and could respond to your reply on from page4 (or was it 5?)

    I Don't have a single problem with McCain getting a free pass. I said this earlier in a letter: he has gone around preaching to the converted. People who already agree with him. Those who won't point out how profoundly stupid the things he's saying are. THIS IS GOOD! This way he repeats it OVER AND OVER AND OVER again - to many time to claim he MISSPOKE when we finally release the full fury of our attacks on him.

    We'll couple all his stupid statements with his legislative record that often is the exact opposite, add a dash of the triangulation he's made just DURING the campaign (remember when he said the economy was OK, then a week later he *realized* it wasn't and unveiled is *economic plan?) Then as icing, he'll come across as the codgedy old fart he is, in a 21st century he is clearly unfamiliar with (what's this internet thing I keep hearing about?) and the race will be ON. Bring it ON.

    I think its great. I think he's being lulled into a sense that he's OK, his policies are OK and he's making an impact on the possible electorate. He also has no reason to believe the press is going to stop this love affair with him. More and more he's trying to sound like a liberal (its disgusting) and it will backfire on him.

    Relax. I'll take a *sleeping* enemy any day over a wide awake one that has been fighting...McCain is sleeping right now. And a surprise attack is being prepared.

    Relax. Its all good. We're quietly keeping track of all his foolishness. This will be SWEET.

  • YOU SHOW YOU ARE A REPUB SABOTUER odog11.

    tHE REASON THEY DO THAT IS SO YOU CAN'T BUY VOTES. Much to the clinton machiens dismay. new voters=good. Old voters, bought and paid for out of past administrations=bad.

    I don't have a problem with it. It seems only republcains do. To bad. You have yoru candidate. Now quit the sabotage and allow the "opposition" party to pick it's candidate without yoru treason meddling and sabotage. Please. I know you are pathetic and have no chance of winning come nov, but that is yoru own doing.

    I can help you, so you don't have to sabotage and blame others for yoru imcompetance and actions.

    1. stop allowing yrou leaders to be incompetant. Hold them to account yourselves, so the other side doesn't have to.

    2. Shut down you gossip propogandists rush hannity fox savage o'liely. No accountability by yoru propogandists destroyed your party. Thus no credibility with the americans people. You can't bring obama down to you level. you try and take his credibility, like you have none. Only works if the messanger has credibility, which you do not gop.

    those are two steps gop. Credibility and accountability for you own. Get that straight and your back in the game. then you won't need to worry about what the democrats are doing. You'll be able to run your own campagins without having to infiltarate and destroy the other party.

    you want any more suggestions gop, clinton included, I'll be here all week :)
