Obama could walk on water and cure cancer...
Well maybe not, but he's certainly called by the Almighty to bring us change. Check this out:

Obama = Moses?
This smacks of desparation and pandering by the Obama-ites. I know these simplisitc rubes in small towns are bitterly clinging to religion, but this is riduculous.
(Hmm, where else have we heard this "God called me to serve" crap in a Presidential election?)

News for you Walter
Forty-three percent of voters think Clinton will be the nominee because the MSM (including Salon) refuse to tell them the facts. NPR, ABC, FOX, etc. all pretend that this is some kind of contest. They all say she won Texas, which she lost. They all say she had a big day when she won Ohio, a day on which she got 4 more delegates than Obama. They all say she won by 10 points last night when she won by 9 with all the votes in -- a psychologically useful rounding up given all the talk about her needing double digits.
The only way she wins is if insider white people overturn the voters' wishes. Fat chance that's going to happen. If it does, watch Clinton go down in flames in November. God knows I won't be voting for her, let alone turning out the vote for her. (And I don't want to hear about how anyone's better than McCain -- I've had to whore out my vote for too many years to the "best of two evils." No more. If Clinton got the nomination and won the general (which she can't), she'd last 4 years and the GOP could elect Rush Limbaugh against her in 2012 if they wanted.)

"How many Republicans registered as Dems to vote for Clinton?
That is the question. Rush Limbaugh has 13 million listeners and he has been urging Repubs to register as Dems in the primaries in Ohio, Texas and now in the PA primaries. I suspect 10% to 20% of Clinton's votes come from those trouble makers who, of course, will vote for McCain in the presidential election.

She loves it. Like joan walsh at salon the clinton people love rush limbaugh. They love hannity. Tehy love o'reilly. they love savage.
Screw the party. Screw the country. Screw party and nation unity. As long as she wins OR barack loses.
If clinton said she didn't want sabotage support, and still got it, I might respect that. The fact she is so glib about siding with the gop attack machine is what gets me. I say they are buring the candle at both ends. Liek the "iron my shirt" controversy. The gop playing both ends. To fool old people.
After last night we find out their still are buying the gop's propoganda. That or they are all now republcains. Either way. SAd day for america. Hopefully this criminality lands rush where that benidict arnold traiotr belongs, behind bars. It;s not a free speech issue. It's a legal issue. It's a credibility issue. What is a journalist/newsman with zero credibility? a propogandist?

Tres Droll, Today's Spin on Ms. Clinton's Big Win
I’m an older white woman and no, my friends and I are not supporting Ms. Clinton for President of the United States. And hey, Clinton was supposed to take Pennsylvania by 29 points. Obama cut Clinton’s lead in Penn more than in half in a mere two month’s time. Why couldn’t she close the deal in a state known to be “hers”? Where’s that story line, that Clinton has lost a huge chuck of voters she took for granted as “hers? The silly season continues on its merry way.
-
Er, who can't close the deal?
It strikes me that this narrative about the capacity of being a closer should be directed at HRC. Her 20+ point lead in Pennsylvania was eroded by a near unknown. While she flailed and spat, he gained over 10 points on her, and he did it within her base .
If "closing the deal" meant overtaking Clinton in Pennsylvania, her "home" state, you've gotta be crazy. Senator Obama, in my book, wounded her in the vote count. The press could be touting the remarkable capacity Obama has shown, again and again, to wrestle away hundreds of thousands of votes from a candidate with the highest public recognition in the world. Obama prevented her from achieving the "big win" in Pennsylvania that everyone said was necessary. He did what he was supposed to do. He closed the deal. He burned off the whole back of her pant suit. But, now the goal post is moved again. Come ON!

The most BS article of a long list

Walter Shapiro
All of the people cracking on this story apparently don't realize Walter Shapiro has been one of the biggest Obamaniacs on the Salon staff. This article, with its balance, must have been very difficult for him to write. So I thank him.
You hysterical Obama groupies creep me out. I haven't been a Clinton supporter (I still hope for the resurrection of John Edwards) but the sheer hate you express for Clinton -- especially from those who vow to vote for McCain should Obama not get the nomination -- crosses the boundaries of partisanship into something I suspect has more to do with her gender than anything else.

The Republican Talking Points
Why are you repeating Pat Buchanan's talking points? You're part of the problem with the media. Obama is still ahead in delegates AND the popular vote. Why can't Clinton close the deal???
-
Obama is a "near unknown"?
He spent a record amount of money in Pennsylvania -- $40 million, more than people have spent during the length of a gubernatorial or Senate campaign. He's been the frontrunner for months. He was about as "unknown" in Pennsylvania as Bethlehem Steel.
And the goalposts are pretty much the same: Win some primaries -- real primaries, not kaffeeklatsches -- that will MATTER to Democrats in the fall, other than your home state. Hint: These do not include Mississippi, Wyoming, and Idaho. They DO include California, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Oh, and Florida, but Obama doesn't want to count Florida. Where have we heard that one before?
