  • PLEASE READ THIS

    Karl Rove IS behind the Obama "movement" as the press calls it and please please read this before it's too late.

  • Jesus Christ

    Joan, can you please ask your editors to start deleting posts by the drive-by right-wing spammer?

  • If Rove is not involved than why are you worried?

    If YOU are not the rightwinger and Rove is not involved in Obama's "movement" than why are you worried and calling for censorship.. (a very rightwing tactic in fact).

  • Because you are an irritating pest who is taking advantage of Salon

    And it's not "censorship" unless the government does it. Salon is a private organization.

    Anymore questions?

  • Fucking tin-foil hat CLINTON morons

    Hey, anonymous, why can't you come up with a name?

    This tin-foil hat CRAP about the Republican plan to get Her Holiness Hillary is just insanely stupid.

    There's a simple reason why it is so so so stupid: The Republicans WANT TO RUN AGAINST HILLARY. THEY ARE DYING TO DO THAT. They know that her negatives make her unelectable. That's why they want her in the GE.

    So, this stupid idea about Republicans registering across party lines is just ..... stupid, and believed by idiots. I know, it's not nice to come down hard on the mentally handicapped, but when they are so annoying, you need to. It's whack-a-mole...

    WHACK

  • I thought that Barack didn't do well with Hispanics

    NM is full of Hispanics, and he's running neck-and-neck with She Who Must Be Elected. How is that possible?

  • Chill, dataguyx!

    Chances are he is being paid by some Republican. And he is certainly a troll, which means he thrives on your anger. He's going through and spamming every single thread about Obama or Clinton, and it's not all anti-Obama either. Don't let him manipulate you. Seeing you get hot under the collar will just turn him on.

  • NM

    NM is 44.0% Hispanic or Latino and 42.8% White, non-Hispanic. Up until about 10 years ago, the majority went the other direction. But, this doesn't say anything about the percentages of New Mexicans that voted in the Democratic Caucus.

  • I Can Certainly Understand Why The GOP Wants To Run Against Hillary

    Bill won 5 Governorships, 2 Presidentials, and Hillary 2 Senates........They are masochistic. They are desiring their 10th loss to the Clintons.

  • Speaking of opposition...

    Usually the GOP's PR point people get busy with "Oooh, we can't wait to go up against [Democratic candidate of choice]!" or do the Briar Patch line early in their attempt to spin things to their favor. This time, though, they seem to be pretty quiet. Maybe it's because Rove's not on the case. They're probably quietly crossing their fingers that it'll be Clinton against McCain, and don't want to spoil things by tipping their hat early on.

    I remember them doing that with Kerry, like "Oooh, we don't want to go up against HIM!" and then they trounced him in the general. Maybe McCain's near-coronation has demoralized them, so they're still processing that, or maybe they're saving their money to wait until the Democrats nominate their candidate.

  • Rove is my master?

    So, if I am an Obama supporter, who is excited about him being president, I should instead just vote for Clinton, because Rove thinks he would be easier to beat in the GE.

    Well, I think I will make up my own mind who I vote for. What kind of idiot would let Karl Rove determine who they should vote for?

  • Neck-in-neck

    "NM is full of Hispanics, and he's running neck-and-neck with She Who Must Be Elected. How is that possible?"

    People under 25, and crossover Republicans. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I have heard Republicans saying that they are doing this. Several people interviewed during and after the Iowa caucuses admitted as much on the radio.

    And while I don't think we should let Rove choose our candidate, we need to be aware that this is happening. "Barack will save us!" is not going to cut it.

  • Eanie, meanie, minie, mo.......

    "They want Obama to be the candidate cause everyone knows this country is still really racist and they're only holding back now to get him the nomination." " No, no, no, don't you see? They want Hillary in the cross hairs cause her negatives are so high she can't possibly get elected."

    Well, being a futures trader, I know one thing. Elections, like markets, have a dynamic whereby they gravitate toward a place that confounds the greatest number of people. If they were predictable, we would all be rich and polls would replace elections.

    Think: "Dewey wins the Presidency," "the Giants beat the Patriots," and a funcional illiterate is elected.....twice!

    So here's the deal. America IS racist. The question is how much? America IS misogynist, The question is how much?

    If you could answer those two questions, Bill Gates would be # 2 on the list of the world's richest people.

    Until then......have fun.

  • Dataguyx Waiting for NM

    I have been checking on, but did not see that there will be a recount. I thought CNN was always on top of things.

    Dataguyx... When I was a child and used the words hell & damn, my Aunt would say, "There are better words in the dictionary to express yourself with. In my home and my relatives homes, I never heard profanity, but you must have had another experience.
