WTF!! I have heard Bob Beckel (so-called Democratic strategist ) on Fox News and Chris “Tweety” Matthews on MSNBC declare the race over. Not the vote in Pennsylvania mind you. Hell, who gives a rat’s ass what people vote for. These media mavens have decided that Barack must be the nominee. When tonight is over Hillary will have crushed Barack. She will have a double digit victory. Despite such a commanding win, these media hacks seem content to ignore what voters have actually decided.
So let me try a variation of the Geraldine Ferraro musing. If Barack were white, would he still be considered a viable candidate in light of the following numbers?
Since Feb. 20, Hillary has won states with 70 electoral College votes representing 48.9 million voters.
OH 20
TX 34
PA 21
RI 04
Obama can brag about Vermont’s 3 electoral votes and its 750,000 voters.
VT 03
How bad does he have to suck before Democratic super delegates realize he cannot win in the fall. Barack has failed (or will do so by midnight tonight) to win New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Texas, and California? He lost the popular vote among Democrats in the largest population states. And he won’t dare insist on a revote in either Michigan or Florida because he knows he would lose those contests.
Despite not having a significant political victory decided by voters in more than two months, the media and some in the Democratic party are maintaining the fiction that this guy can win in the fall. Republicans are begging Howard Dean to hold the course and coronate the Golden Child. But this much is clear–no white male would get a minute of media attention with a record in competitive elections comparable to what Barack has achieved in the last two months. That ain’t racist. That’s just a fact. Just ask John Edwards.
Oh don’t worry, AAs will carry him. Latinos don’t count. White men and typical white women don’t count. Gays don’t count. Jews don’t count. Italians don’t count. It’s in the bag!
People close to 60 don’t count.
He’s a CHANGE AGENT.
He’s gonna CHANGE HIS SUIT.
Someday.

Oh Yes larry…Thrown in the Garlic Noses in Florida..and the Taters in Michigan ..and that adds to those Numbers..Dean is rigging the election for Obama..Guess we Know how far left Dr. Dolittle Dean is..
is dean left or right? I say right.
Ehemmm…….My personal observation is that Dean the Putz is most likely APOLITICAL and lives in a universe of one ( himself ). this is why he so indentifies with OBAMESSIAH ( who I believe is apolitical as well ). This is why Dean he Putz doesn’t give a shit about the party or it’s future. The Party is simply a tool for Dean to shore up his gigantic ego. Whatever OBAMESSIAH spews as to political ideology or platform is a sham and will disappear if elected into office. Look at what GWB did to the GOP cause. Once elected he veered off into a neo-con agenda that is a didaster. What the agenda of Neo-libs is will be equally disaterous.
And your proof is what? If he’s Dr. Dolittle, then you must be Dr. Know-Nothing.
Well..Wonder what the “Rules” will be by then..
1. No talk about Race..
2. No talk about Religion..
3. No Talk about Guns..
4. No Talk about the Wife..
5. No. talk about Supporters..
6. Just talk about Issues..
You Know…The “Monger’”.Vs “he “Messiah..”
“Bread…Not Bullets” “Hope vs the “Dope”
Them kind of “Rules…Add Your Own..
I have been Cleaning up the trailer Park..I’m Tired
All this talk about “women” and “white guys” is making me wonder what happened to the unity and love.
Fabrication, smoke and mirrors.
He tried to pull another rabbit out of the hat and it was empty.
Gays, Jews, Guns, Church goers, Women, White guys, Core Dems, crossover voters, Italians … he’s gonna be real lonely in November.
Youth, AA and clueless elitists for Obama.
The sad truth is that if Obama had taken mostly after his 50% Irish side, we would not be having this conversation. It makes me sad to think of how many AAs believe that he is their savior. Having him in office will not make their lives better, just as having Condi Rice as Sec. of State hasn’t done a thing for the cause.
If Obama, as a community organizer, and as a State Senator, can be obvilivious to the people freezing to death in his own neighborhoods, then why do they think he’ll suddenly care now? The best candidate for voters of ANY race, religion, gender, or orientation, is the one that can deliver the goods.
As a woman, I totally can understand the excitement that having an “AA” candidate must be like for the AA community, because as a woman there is a certain feeling of pride and possibility of having Hillary in the race, as well. But.. I would not support her if she was not the more qualified and reliable candidate. As thrilled as I am to see a female in the race, I was an Edwards supporter first.
You have to pick your president with your HEAD, not your heart. The future of the Country depends on that. A symbolic victory means nothing in the scheme of things — we have to have results IMMEDIATELY.
I am posting this link to the black agenda report: http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=586&Itemid=1
It tells you that AAs are not stupid or ignorant in any respect.
This is just a clip:
“..[]victim of this strange, mass psychosis. Smiley was driven to quit his spot on radio’s syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show by Obama zealots who have constituted themselves as a mob, sworn to eradicate from the Black public sphere all whose loyalties to the Great One are deemed questionable. The virtual stoning and exile from Black radio of Tavis Smiley is even more grotesque when it is remembered that, just a few years ago, only a handful among Obama’s current legions of Black zealots had even heard of the Chicago politician. It seems like only yesterday that Tavis Smiley, the hyper-energetic Black information entrepreneur, appeared destined for permanent Black icon status, through his many radio, television and print media products. But Smiley violated the Obama mob’s supreme commandment: Thou shalt not question Barack, period.”
And how about the pain on Lewis’ face now?
Poor Tavis. He is such a sweet man. THey have crucified the man.
many voters in recent years have not voted in their own best interest and i include the aa community in that group especially with barry not doing anything for them.

What to hell?! Do Dean and Brazille really want to loose that WH? Why? Are they closet Repubs or just mightily stupid?
PH, just talking the issues would be a good start on real Democracy.
Hope the trailer park that you and all those people on the south coast are working on works out for you when Mister Hope puts you in for Ophra’s largess.
Oprah got really quiet since her favorables went down afer she traveled with him.
She also was a member of wright’s church but quit.
She also was a member of wright’s church but quit.
Oh yeah!!! She was? Got any links? Talk about dynamite!
As Harold Ford she should be demanding debates with Obama day after day until he submits. He is losing his footing and is not up to the fight. He is weak in debates and the more there are the more the Party will realize that he cannot beat McCain (or anyone).
Agreed.
And it is not good for him to be perceived as even more weak, especially weak to a woman.
Sorry, just the way it is, Clinton had to be very careful about race, Obama had to be careful not to appear effete, afraid of and intimidated by a woman, and they failed.
I mean, I have to wonder what a lot of guys think about Obama’s ability to stand up, his courage, if he can’t even take on Clinton without whining, and backing down, as he did with the finger, and with the debates.
She didn’t say a word, no one from her campaign did, but in retrospect, the more he whines, with every gesture he makes, he looks like pure wuss, afraid of Clinton, afraid of EVERYONE.
(Advance warning of an all caps post. Thank you for your patience.)
DNC! CAN YOU HEAR US YET?! CAN YOU FUCKIN’ HEAR US?!?!?!!
DEAN! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW!?!?!?!? CAN YOU?!?!?!?
DONNA! CAN YOU HEAR US?!?!?!?!
PELOSI! HOW ABOUT YOU!?!?!?! CAN YOU HEAR US YET?!?!?!?!?
Thank you.
And Senator Edwards, now would be good time to come out for Hill.
He gonna stay ouyt of th eway of this mess.
American had itz chance with him.
dear PMS…i hear you and love you!!
those other jerks, Dean and Brazile and Pelosi can’t hear my vote in Fla.. when they refuse to count it and plan on cheating the American people and taking over where the repigs dropped off..by stealing “we the people’s votes”
I was a die hard Edwards supporter..but i will tell you Hillary has so impressed me with her fight , and drive and her stamina..
I went and worked for Edwards in Iowa and SC and i can tell you i was exhusted after each campaign in those states..and in 2004 i was an elected delegate for Florida and was out speaking nightly ..and i can tell you it is exhausting ..she has something i have not seen in a very long time..she has the will to fight for us..she has the strength to fight for us.
I am impressed with Hillary ..and i would have never guessed i would be saying that..
But she has made me fight for her..because i know she is tough and i know i respect her more today..
I congradualte her for a wonderful win Tonight..and the wins of all the big states.
Hillary can win in November..Obama can not and will not!
But more important..i trust Hillary to do right for my children.
I do not trust Obama in any way!

I was going to suggest Howie can’t hear you right now because he’s got his dummy in his ear but I thought better of it. That would be childish.
Karl Rove is reading stats on Fox. Where Obama’s winning he’s winning by small margins.
Yes, she took the suburbs from him and he’s only winning in Philly 55-45
She’s projected for 68 percent of catholics. I was raised a catholic, although I am not one now. But I can tell you they don’t go for whack job fire and brimstone churches at all.

done! thanks!
Fantastic! I will be donating more tonight after doing so yesterday.
I have put up my first post on Clinton’s win tonight, contextualizing it in terms of the larger nomination contest and giving some idea of what Clinton had to overcome in order to get this Rocky-like victory:
Hillary puts the smackdown on Barack in PA
North Carolina, a “Black Belt” state, is meaningless as it will not be won by Dems in the general election and it over-represents the African-American vote as compared to both the total balance of the state’s electorate and the even more important national electorate. The African-American vote as part of the national electorate is only 11-12%. That’s it. In the Democratic Party, the AA vote is around 25-30%, and in states like South Carolina (where the Obama race-baiting paid off) it is more like 55%. This has allowed Obama to get pretty but statistically irrelevant wins as concerns the general election.
Barack Obama is a ‘niche’ candidate who has gamed the caucus system and played the white guilt card to the hilt. You are now seeing the unraveling of a strawman, as we have tried to tell many of the Kool-Aid drinkers.
Superdelegates, it is time to do what you were created to do: Give us Dems — those who have voted for Clinton over Obama by a majority — a chance in November. Choose Hillary Clinton, or leave us with the second coming of George McGovern and a staggering defeat in November.
Karl Rove (the evil pink-eyed demon) is on Fox tearing down the demographics of who voted for Hillary in Pennsylvania and the statistics are about 60-30 in Hillary’s favor among the areas with the largely “typical bitter small-town white people.” You know, those lovely people who invited New Hampster in to use the bathroom and offered him cookies and lemonade…you know, THOSE horrible Americans who voted for Hillary in California, New York, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania? Karl is practically drooling on his paperwork, he can’t WAIT to get his hands on Obama if he’s the nominee…Please dear Superdelegates, you can be my God for the next 3 months and I’ll pray to you every night, Please God See The Light and vote for Hillary! She’s our only chance (she and Obi-wan…wait, maybe she IS Obi-wan!)
Hey, Howard Dean, how can our nominee win if he didn’t win California, New York, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania?
ahh well Dean is counting on Wyoming..where around 8,000 registered dems showed up to caucus out of 59,000 registered dems..
and Dean and Brazile pissed all over 1.7 + dems in Florida!
the loss is on Pelosi’s table in Nov if Florida is not counted for the nomination..count on that!
fly
sorry that is 1.7+ “million” dems in Florida!! That Dean and Brazile have pissed on!

The presumptive candidate cannot be having this kind of results. He should be gathering strength building coalitions and gathering momentum. But rather than going in that direction his campaign seems to be grasping at straws. In the 2004 campaign after several Kerry wins the votes believed he would be the candidate and his momentum gained speed. In the republican primaries. After several victories by McCain both Rommney’s and Huckabee campaigns fell by the waste side. Vote the voters in PA are saying at the very least we have serious reservations of Obama. Thats the best case senario for his candidacy.
His whole campaign is based upon a couple of coalitions and he has maxed out on them and has to reach out to others which he seems incapable of doing. I just don’t see if he loses Indiana, WVA, Ky, Puerto Rico, but hangs on to close wins in Or and NC how he can make an agrument for getting the nomination. Having said that I think Hillary must win either NC or OR to have a undeniable claim on the nomination.
It’ll be a McGovern size disaster.
And McGovern was a war hero.
ahhh and how about our 27 electoral votes in Florida?????????
oh but CNN keeps telling us that Puerto Rico will be important..well damn it how about my vote in Florida..
why will those who can’t vote in Nov be more important than my vote was???????????
i am so angry..i am boiling over,.and if Donna Brazile gets near me ..well it wouldn’t be pretty..that scummy liar.
i really am in a boil right now..and nothing will cool me down.

Donna B. has got to be REMOVED — from all authority and power. She is BAD news. And she is a LIAR.
Donna B. is a liar.
If she is supporting Obama because he is AA — then she is a racist.

Exactly. You letters and emails tell them you are still watching their crap. They don’t care if you like what you seeing just as long as you are helping their ratings.
If you want to know what those cretins are saying there are plenty of places on the net to either watch or read about their crap. Don’t help their ratings!
Sorry can’t seem to stop typing “you” when I mean “your” this morning.
We forgive you.
Larry, it is sites as yours which keeps the Hill moving against the odds, and keep the truth out there, wether it is part or wholely, it keeps Obama needing to answer questions that Hill has been vetted on! Keep them going as Indiana is a must win state again!

Obama spent $8.5 million in PA. Hillary spent $3.2 million. Think about this.
Then he better keep raising more money that her since he needs a whole lot of funding for his loses.
Woo Hoo!!!
Ok I just donated to Hillary…how about you?????????

i agree with her about the failure of no child left behind. are you listening, teddy?
Geraldine Ferraro was right.
I cannot believe that after seven plus years of incompetent and corrupt rule by neo-conservative advisor a first term senator who wants to bomb Pakistan and have tea with Raul Castro is being shoved down our throats.
Stunning.
Hillary is awesome. Cheers to the next President of the United States. Now, let’s go make it happen.

me too..having lots of delays and loading problems

OK I had this before but rebooted. And on my hardware that’s almost never necessary. Things are OK now but yeah I suspect someone is trying something. A ping attack or whatever. Something simplistic, 11-18yo, first time voter type, and stupid. Otherwise things are looking fairly OK again here.
Just sent Howard Dean the following in response to yet another request for money for the DNC:
Hi, Howard,
Nice to hear from you again. You might wonder why I’ve not sent anything in response to your several request for funds, some of them urgent. I’m waiting. I’ll be happy to send you something as soon as the Florida and Michigan delegations are seated. Right now I’m committed to individual Congressional candidates I like (WA-08 looks like a good place) and to my current choice for the Democratic nomination and to support for my own legislative district organization. But I’m holding back something for the national party as well, and you can have it soon, just as soon as the DNC resolves the Michigan and Florida delegation questions satisfactorily. I understand you told David Bender the other day that it would be June. I sure hope so or even earlier because I would love to send you the money.
I sort of feel bad about not fulfilling and exceeding my pledge because I really want to replace the Republicans in the White House and elsewhere, but I have a little principle that’s just nagging at me. It’s that disenfranchising voters is such an evil, nasty Republican thing, I can’t tolerate it for any reason whatsoever, especially in my own party.
Sorry about this, it’s the principle of the thing. I hope to hear again from you soon, and I hope it’s good news about the Michigan and Florida delegations.
Chuck
That is a really good idea. Hold them ransom to seating MI and FLA. Great idea!
I just a got a request for money from the DNC and they’e saying I could provide invaluable help as a volunteer in my state in the GE. Uh, I live in Michigan now they’re saying it’s a battleground and important state - the same DNC is telling me I don’t have a voice despite having voted in our primary. Believe me, I’ll be sending them a letter too.
Hey taters..How are you doing..?? Good Win for Hillary tonight Huh..
The Tenacity of Hillary…
Hey Taters hope all is well with you and yours.

If the DNC does not want to look at the number narrative told by the voters, they should consider the numbers told by the dollars. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, DNC CAN NOT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WHO SPENDS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND WINS ONLY HIS HOME STATE AMONG THE “BIG” ELECTORAL VOTE STATES. Such a candidate sucks up all the cash in the money stream and that will enormously hurt congressional, senatorial and gubernatorial races across this country. GET A CLUE DNC; there won’t be a party in Denver if there are is no money to pay the bills.
GET A CLUE DNC; there won’t be a party in Denver if there are is no money to pay the bills.
When you think about it, it’s really unbelievable. This 2008 election should be a slam dunk after eight years of W. But look what they’ve done - AGAIN.
Unbelievable.
I apologize if someone already made this comment, but from my perspective, the more apt question, Larry, is if Obama were a woman with these numbers, would he still be considered the viable candidate? I really don’t see either question as rhetorical. I see them as jumping off points for some good discussions.
I haven’t declared my allegiance to either candidate because my first two choices were knocked out (Biden and then Edwards), and I am superstitious - don’t want to jinx anybody else. However, I’ve noticed that I am prompted to come to Clinton’s defense more and more frequently because 1. she is the only candidate who has been made to walk through the fire by the so-called “press” consistently and continually from the beginning of this race; and, 2. as an N.C. voter, I want to have a choice in my primary. A voter who wants options … apparently a foreign concept to certain pundits.
No matter what, I can say with certainty that I will not be voting for John McCain.
