Democrats my ass. Scumbag GOP trolls who enable and justify Zellina Nader and her ego-jihad is more like it.

Pantel Meet Alecs Mom
You are cut from the same cloth as the Majority of Obamaites. If we dare to object to your savior, you resort to name calling. It is only stupid people who have so little knowledge of the english language that you cannot speak intelligently.

congrats gop. But think about the future. you fascist traitors you
"RUSH LIMBAUGH: What a night for Operation Chaos, even acknowledged in much of the local media throughout Pennsylvania. The Drive-Bys, you can just... Well, Fox also spent a lot of time talking about Operation Chaos. But the Drive-By Media just know it. The elites in the media are just fit to be tied. They're talking all around Operation Chaos without mentioning it. The New York Times -- which editorialized in favor; endorsed Mrs. Clinton for president, at least for the Democrat nomination in an editorial -- today appears to be pulling back. There is total chaos in the Democrat Party, and I'm going to spell out exactly what that chaos is in mere moments. But first I want to thank and congratulate all of you troops, all of you volunteers in Operation Chaos for a job well done. Once again last night, the exit polls were worthless. The first wave of exit polls at one o'clock had a 17-point Hillary win. The five o'clock, wave of exit polls had Hillary up by four: 52 to 48. When the polls closed at eight o'clock, every Drive-By news outlet said, "It's too close to call." Yet it was Mrs. Clinton by almost ten points at the end of the night, and I think a lot of Operation Chaos operatives actually did yeoman duty in misleading exit pollsters after they had voted.
One thing that's been noticed is that Obama really does well in the exit polls, but it's just the exact opposite when the votes are counted. So a job well done. Today, I, as C-in-C USOC: Commander-in-Chief US, Operation Chaos; am giving all of you in the rank-and-file an R&R day. You have earned it. You have deserved it. "

Closing the Deal
I wonder - if Obama had won last night do you think that Clinton would be bowing out today, acknowledging that the writing is on the wall for her 2008 aspirations? Given that her only remaining strategy is to take it to the convention and hope the Superdelegates give her the victory she has been unable to earn through the primary process, did Obama ever have a chance of "closing the deal?" I think it's a fair question considering the obvious slant of the headline. If he'd taken 75 percent of the vote, but Hillary still stayed in the race, I bet you'd be running the same headline.
When Obama wins North Carolina, I wonder how Salon will be spinning that one. I bet it won't be "Hillary unable to gain ground on Obama." No, it will be just another spin job about how if you factor in this or that, Hillary actually won in a landslide.

@pageiger
I wish you had been the moderator of the last debate. All your questions are right on.
At least I think they are. I can't tell unless I first know if you were wearing a flag pin when you wrote them. That's the important thing.

How Obama got his toe in the door
Lets face it Obama waving his finger in the air toting that he didn't vote for the war is what got his toe in the door. Although he fails to mention that he wasn't a UNITED STATES Senator at the time of the vote in 2002. He wasn't sworn in until Jan 4,2005 and could not have voted one way or the other even if he had wanted to and wasn't in a position to hear the lies Bush was presenting as inteligence, had he been he might heve voted the same way that 75o/o of the Senate voted, and in fact ever since he has become a US Senator has exactly the same voting record on the war as Hillary does.

red_gti2000 and others who are "really pissed at the hard left"
This is a critical election for the Dems -- which is why I'm really so pissed off at the Hard Left.
Whenever anything goes wrong for Democrat establishment candidates, the liberal left of the party is blamed. It was their fault for voting for Nader. Now it’s their fault that Clinton supporters like red_gti2000 are “really pissed off.” You know what? I’m sick and tired of being blamed for the Democrats' centrist loserdom.
How about blaming the people that actually deserve the blame? That would be the centrists—you people just can’t pull off a win, so you ask the progressives of your party to sacrifice again and again. What do we get in return for our voting support? Ridicule and no advancement of liberal policies (you know, like universal health care). It’s so bad that it is a negative thing in this country to be known as a liberal or a leftist. And the fact that Republicans have embraced and given power to the nuts in its party demonizes liberalism even more. I’m not going to apologize for believing in things like the end of the Iraq occupation, green energy, equal rights for everyone (man, woman, white, black, rich, poor), or questioning the U.S. subsidized capitalism, or wanting to consume locally and organically grown food.
Now we’ve found a candidate we like—Obama (who, by the way is not as liberal as I am, but at least, unlike other Democrat leaders, will give liberals a seat at the table instead of shutting us out and making us their fall guy)—and because we’re supporting him, we’re pissing you off? I chastised fellow liberals who voted for Nader, told them they threw the election to Bush. But I’m beginning to think they’re right. Perhaps, it’s time to face the fact that we’ll never get a seat at the Democrat table as it is right now.
