Healthy?
"...along with 93 percent of the black vote and a healthy 36 percent of the white vote."
Either Shapiro is trying to be a comediane or meant to say with a sickly 36% of the the white vote.
I guess the only question For Obama is why in the world did 7% of blacks not vote for him. Not to worry, I am sure Axelrod can solve that dilemma.
This just in from the ONion:
Clinton, who took 93% of the White vote and 94% of the female vote, dismiss race and gender as being a voting factor.

the NERVE of you...
Sorry, but the sniper fire must have effected my hearing.
Either that, or I was just woozy from counting my vast gas tax holiday savings.
But if you want to talk character-- from the Iraq war vote to the Bosnian snipers to the kitchen sink strategy to praise for McCain at the expense of her fellow Democrat, to the silly pandering (I'm an Arkansas-Pennsylvania-Indianan, anyone want an 18 cent gas tax rebate?) Her Imperial Majesty has really managed to shoot her own self in the foot. Blaming others for her flaws is both hilarious and ironic.

Obama said Indiana was the "tiebreaker"
well he lost. And he's unelectable. So beat it.
-
"Indiana is the tie-breaker" : More of Obama's great Character.
Right up there with his bus-thrown mentor who brought him to Christianity and Ayers.
Maybe his rabid supporters are drinking Ayers koolaide.
-
Publius Maxiums: you won't win any nobel prizes but we knew that.
I think you're ducking from Ayers and Obama.
Besides if you haven't noticed, Obamateur and his nutty supporters have already milked his grandstanding on the war that he didn't want but funded anyway.
Nobody cares. Except the rabid Obama supporters who care more about Al Qaida having a cut on their finger than 50 million Americans without healthcare.

Shawns always likes to stoke up the friction
..with his own brand of political fiction.

winning the black districts
shawn is continuing to push the meme that because Obama wins more of the black vote and less of the white vote in a primary he will be limited to that same demographic split in the general. most Democrats will be voting for the Dem nominee, most Republicans for the Republican -- and the independents? we'll see. i'm guessing most of them will be voting for the candidate who wants to move this country out of where it's been for the last 7 years.

Shawn's pushin' somethin'...
...it might be crack, cos in the true of the blue, Shawn don't know Jack.
-
"manos" as disingenuous as his candidate.
The Obamateur insisted Indiana was the tie-breaker. NOw that it's obvious he can't win any votes besides prejudiced blacks and vulgar college students, of course they want to chagne the game again.
Go sit there and be vulgar with Ayers and Wright and Michelle, Manosbaby and do your act.
HRC is gonna kick your ugly butt in West Virginia and KY too.

Clinton for SC
Hillary Clinton for Justice of the US Supreme Court!
-
mdskill: on hope and a wing maybe, but not reality.
Obama loses all the important margins: elderly, working class, Catholic, hispanic, etc and has all along: it's gotten worse and worse for him as his skeletons are revealed, not better.
The only reliable vote he gets are prejudiced blacks and latte liberals - neither of which, as Paul Begala correctly noted, can win an election.
You can wish it otherwise till the cows come home, but the reality is that what you'll get instead is John McCain's Supreme Court justices.
Wake up before its too late.

Thank you North Carolina AND Indiana voters
When all the votes are in from the upcoming elections..Hillary can have the Florida and Michigan delegates and still not win the nomination. It is over for her..but she might still want to stay on till after Kentucky..West Virginia...spend some more money..The TV networks will have a hard time adjusting to the fact that the Democratic race is over. They'll need some murders or sex scandals to keep the viewers turning in to view the Cialis commercials.

Regardless of who
eventually gets the Democratic Presidential nomination, the VP candidate will be an old white man from the South. Bet on it.
-
re: Holding out for VP?
I don't see it at all. Even as the VP nominee she'd be a lightening rod for the Republicans, and I don't think she'd offer what the ticket needs. Now I could very well see Wes Clark on the VP short list. He'd bring the military experience, he'd be popular with the workingclass white voters AND he's a big Clinton supporter. I definitely think Obama's running mate will be someone with foreign affairs/military experience.
-
We should be magnanimous in victory...therefore....
I nominate Shawn to serve in the newly created position of garbage czar.
-
A Graceful Exit?
To HRC: You have fought hard, it's time to concede. Then use your energy to support Obama and take on McCain. The good of the country comes first, the good of the Democratic comes next and consigning the Republicans to the dust heap comes last. You already have a worthwhile job from where you can do much to help our country. Now go out and help Obama meet our working class and senior citizens. Of course he can reach out to them on his own. But it will surely look great to see you both striving together.

things my 5 year old knows
Even my five year old knows, though he may not like it, that when my wife and say if you break rule "A" you get consequence "B" that he has to live with his choices.
What part of the DNC saying do not move your primaries or you delegates will not be seated up do the Clintons not get?
This 48 states nominating the candidate stuff is divisive and stupid. In an election cycle that seemingly sees the Republican strategy of of using wedge issues, like gay marriage, out play we now have the Dems themselves doing the GOP's work. Rove must be happy. The Clintons are doing his work for him.

ShawnWN is self-destructing.
Just a sign of what Obama can do, without even trying.

Why not a HRC-VP?
Hillary as Obama's running mate would be no odder than LBJ running with JFK. Electorally it should be a plus; it could only help keep on board those Clinton supporters who say they will vote for McCain if their candidate loses (though I like to think that once the initial anger and frustration passes most of them would wake up to what madness that would be). She is the kind of policy wonk that could be a helpful VP, and Bill as second laddie would be far less an issue than he would be as first laddie.
Why would Hillary accept? First woman VP would not be as historical as first woman president, but still a pretty dramatic first; and even if Obama would serve for eight years, she would in 2016 still be younger that McCain is now, or Reagan was in 2000 - and as a woman the actuarial tables favor her over those two gents in any case.
