Viva Hillary Clinton! Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

  • Mike Madden Has Written Tellingly of Hillary's "Last Hurrah"

    Six hours in a truck blasting music and questionable slogans tells us something. For the non-response in Puerto Rico to this carnival show, we Obama supporters are grateful.

    Likely Hillary will lose in South Dakota and Montana by a total vote margin that matches her win in Puerto Rico, about 142,000 votes.

    In Michigan the Hillary vote was 63000 larger than the non-Hillary vote. That being said, only 1/4 of the likely Democrats voted at all with Obama and others off the ballot. In Florida she beat Obama by 294,000 and Edwards ran third, getting 220,000.

    Thus she will NOT win the popular vote. Barack Obama wins it.

    The worry that Obama will lose to McCain in November is unfounded. As a nation we are sick of this Administration's policies. We will not tolerate the sight of these self-serving, value-less Republicans one more minute after Inauguration Day, January, 2009.

    One hopes so.

    Hey, the most intelligent answer to your note is "Whatever, dude/babe".

    I cannot tell you who to vote for.

    I can tell you that a vote against Barack is a vote for McCain, and that is a vote to kill choice, to prolong the war, to further enable corporations raping us, and so forth and so on.

    All misogyny in my post, of which there not a little, is a richly earned harvest of the supporters of Hillary. You act like a bitch, you get called a bitch. But, that's what you guys want, right? Bitch is the new black, right?

    I wish I had your optimism about the November elections. Unfortunately, I believe that, despite McCain being pretty unacceptable, he may eke out a victory IF Hillary Clinton and her surrogates continue their temper tantrum. I don't believe that ordinary rank-and-file Clinton democrats care at all what various Obama supporters may say. However, the words and actions of their leader, for lack of a better term, can certainly be persuasive. Case in point is the ridiculousness over FL and MI.

    I watched the news this AM and a number of Hillary supporters in FL were outraged, just outraged at having their election result in delegates with 1/2 vote each. One woman shook her head in disbelief at the outlandish tactics of the DNC and stated something to the effect that the GOP must be laughing at us. I guess no one bothered to tell her: The GOP did the SAME THING to their delegates in FL. The state party however just went about with business as usual despite the fact that their candidates only 57 of formerly 114 votes.

  • A Question Re: GOP and Primary Tactics

    How come when the GOP stripped FL from 114 to 57 delegates, we didn't hear screeching from the GOP voters or candidates? Why is this issue being played as solely a Democratic Party issue when the GOP did the same thing?

    I don't know which is more disgusting: you joining with simians to jerk off or your troglodytic views.

    In either event, best to but them both back in your pants.

  • @Hill Supporters

    It's over. We can thank the liberal wing for falling for the GOP's efforts to front the weakest candidate who isn't even close in battleground states like the southwest, Ohio, WVA and KY and whom McCain is within 3 points in NJ and PA. Oh, and if the GOP DOES engage in "voter fraud" (as if they'd even need to) I guess Howard Dean and Leahy and the Kennedy's and the DNC can make a convincing case as to why all votes should count.

    We already know the plan for Obama's general Campaign. They have none. Obama fares miserably in every important demographic and battlground state and has NO strategy or hope to retake them. (unless you call hanging out on the internet callling everyone a "racist" a strategy) and knows it. His strategy is to blame his big loss on (you guessed it) Hillary.

    And that's where it ends. You don't need to listen to that brown shit too. You don't owe the "unifying" sack of shit and his groteseque supporters a damned thing.

    Write in Hillary or vote McCain in the hopes of moderating his base, whichever does it for you, but you DON'T need to sit here and listen to people who "won" a primary through lefty-lefts and blacks voting eighttimes in caucuses and painting Bill and Hillary Clinton as the Ma and Pa Kettle of the KKK tell you you owe them anything or that their INSISTANCE on shoving a loser named Hussein Obama (oops!Sorry I know yoiu can't say his name!) who has not a single accomplishment (oops! sorry you can't mention that either!) and has hung out with Syrian and Iranian gansters and domestic terrorists (oops! Sorry that was off limits too) and whose wife and preacher are all over tapes carnation screaming about "whitey" (oops! sorry, you can't say that either).,,, no you DON'T have to listen to these snot-nosed losers tell you it's Hillary's fault or your fault for thir Messiahs landslide defeat.

    Go over to Talk Left if you need to vent with rational, sane people.

    And by all means boycott Oprah Winfrey who for the second time got you a Republican President. Maybe SHE can take some of her fortune and help poor people in THIS country for a change.

    But just leave the wacked out Nobama grotesques to their own spittle now.

    I suspect that many of the more dramatic moments seen on MSM's alleged news shows are deliberate acting for the benefit of the TV cameras. It's easy for people who do this to get on TV because the TV crews seek them out and the producers select the more "interesting" clips for their shows.
