The Clear and Present Danger

WE HAVE A COUNTER-FORCE TO THIS CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER!

AND IT IS YOU AND I!

As MacAddict wrote to me today:

I have not seen a strong response to Obama heading to Iowa (see “Obama To Spend Tues. Night in Iowa, Possibly Will Claim Victory“) and I think their needs to be a strong effort to get the narrative out that this is the Obama strategy to “Declare Victory Before it is Too Late.”

When Hillary wins Kentucky by double digits, it will be clear that Hillary has a plurality of the popular vote. Once the Rules committee votes to include FL and MI then she will also be closer in the delegate numbers and it will clear that no one will reach the magic number.

Hillary’s momentum is picking up and Obama wants to take it away before the MSM picks up on the fact that Hillary is the popular vote winner, has won the most key states, and has the best chance to beat McCain.

No one wins until the person reaches the magic number. The voters will determine the winner not the candidates nor the MSM. This strategy should be painted as a loser trying to take his ball and go home when there is still two minutes left in the game - two minutes left in a game where one team is ahead but the other team is catching up fast. No one would accept this strategy or accept this as victory. Even the MSM and maybe even Chris Matthews could understand this. Timmy would even understand that the Red Sox could not declare they won the World Series when they were ahead 3-2. This is the world series and Barrick was ahead 3-1 now it is 3-2 and he wants to declare victory before it is 3-3 ( after Kentucky when it will be clear she has the lead in the popular vote and he maintains a slim lead in the delegate count) and before it becomes 3-4 in favor of Hillary ( after additional wins in the remaining primaries).

Hillary and her campaign need to hammer this “Declare Victory Before it is too late - is the strategy of a loser.” It should not work in politics and would be a disaster as the policy of a sitting President.

Think of all the examples of from history where the US stood up under dire circumstances and went on to Victory -

The Alamo, Pearl Harbor, Bastogne, etc and think of the same thing in politics - “Dewey defeats Truman” (Truman was a fighter and so is Hillary) “Americans love a winner and can not stand a loser.” America also loves the underdog and the fighter. Obama’s strategy is the strategy of a a person who is afraid to lose and afraid to fight. It is the strategy of a loser. Obama is a loser.

My two cents.

:::::::::::::::

DO THIS NOW — before it is too late.

Sorry for the OT: It says at the Trinity church website that Wright will speak live tonight at 7 p.m. I guess that’s Eastern Standard Time, as it says he’s to start three hours from now.

Comment by Clara Barton | 2008-05-18 15:14:33

Sources tell me that it is the intent of the Odrama Campaign to claim victory by Friday by an all out assault on the SD’s to commit. They do NOT want the Rules Committee to be able to consider seating FL and MI before they are able to get the delegates to win. If you haven’t been calling KY and OR, this is the time. The bigger the margin the better. Like Bush in 2000, he’s going to claim it whether its his or not. That’s just one more way he’s like Bush, and we know how that has turned out.

Comment by tzada | 2008-05-19 06:43:39

Saw an interview this AM from Jax FL, my home state, with Corinne Brown. She said 10,000? Floridians would be in Washington to demand Florida be seated.
She is supporting Hillary.
The argument to be made is ths. The Republican Gov and Senate were the ones that changed the dates, not the voters. So in truth we had no say. But Obama wants to take our votes away, whine baby that he is.

Just so I’m clear: is Obama a threat because he’ll lose to McCain, or because he’s a covert black nationalist intent on seizing the means of production and creating an Afro-communist police state?

(also, y’all know that HRC wrote her college thesis on Saul Alinsky and the merits of leftist organizing, right?)

Comment by owl06 | 2008-05-18 15:13:47

(also, y’all know that HRC wrote her college thesis on Saul Alinsky and the merits of leftist organizing, right?)

incorrect.

Comment by Cath | 2008-05-18 16:22:59

owl06 -

Why is the statement “Hillary wrote her college thesis on Saul Alinsky and the merits of leftist organizing” incorrect?

Here’s the link to the article that says she did:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17388372/

As Hillary supporters (and I SUPPORT Hillary 100%), we need to be truthful to counter the untruths and innuendo of the more rabid Obama supporters.

Maybe you disagreed with the second part of the statement: “the merits of leftist organizing.” I could understand that. But Hillary DID write her senior thesis with the title: ” There Is Only The Fight: An Analysis of The Alinsky Model.”

If you know this to to be in error, please provide proof so I can correct my information.

Thank you.

Dooh!

Shainzona -

Nope. And I still support Hillary, even with the nastiness tossed at anyone here who dares to ask a legitmate question.

So far, I’ve been called a moron, a troll, and stupid at this site. The ONLY reason I hang on here is because some of the information posted at No Quarter gives me hope for Senator Clinton’s victory, and I’m angered by the Obama worship/Clinton hatred at sites like TPM and Mark Kleiman, and in the MSM.

Sadly, a few of you express the same intolerance found in the Obama-fanatic blogs. Don’t do it. That makes you/us no better than them, and just as immature.

 
 

Comment by jangles | 2008-05-18 22:47:54

You are correct about the title of Hillary’s thesis but not about the conclusions she came to. She came to the conclusion that Alinsky’s methods would not work effectively to change things on a large scale—too divisive at a nationwide level to ever be successful. HRC was offered a position by Alinsky himself but chose another path. She met Alinsky and MLK in the same time frame and it was the path of MLK that she thought was most promising in the long run. Check out her speech at Wellesley commencement. Please note that it is Obama who was schooled in Alinsky’s methodology and has very much incorporated his tactics in the O campaign. See a post at Anglachels that reveals the hard knuckled fund raising tactics of the O campaign and how he is using funds not only to buy support but to ensure that his donors do not donate to others and send all their dollars to him to be channeled to others. That is a very bare knuckled but wildly successful money machine operation. It has some features that Rove put together on K Street.

Comment by ScottVA | 2008-05-18 15:15:41

I think it’s a sign of desperation for him to declare victory so early… SD’s know this too. I spoke to one the other day that said many of them are shaking their heads at the antics! Him going to MI and FL before the end of the Primaries are another thing many are shaking their heads about… I mean it’s pretty clear that since he sees that victory isn’t as close as he thinks it WAS…he know goes out and tries to yell the loudest that he’s won! It’s not going to change anything because he’s still going to have to go to the Convention because that is where this is all headed now! He’s not going to reach the magic number of PLEDGED delegates (SD’s vote doesn’t count until Convention) and it looks like he’s going to lag in the Popular Vote. Only leading in Pledged Delegates without the magic number isn’t going to be much of a selling point without that lead in the Popular Vote too. Obama now knows this and so this is a last ditch attempt to scream the loudest (as he always does)…
I guess he thinks if he does this then they cant deny him the nomination… LOL

Comment by anna shane | 2008-05-18 18:05:29

it’s a sign of arrogance and stupidity. the only way to ensure he won’t get Hillary’s democrats is to try to hijack it prematurely. but he had to do something, she challenged his ego when she made her rousing speech in WV, and he was listening and thinking, I must do something to counter her message that she can win if the voters turn out and show she has momentum, while he knows he’s lost a lot of his own. Poor fellow, trapped into promising a mission accomplished moment. And with like 70 percent of Americans wanting it to play out and angry with the media for a premature declaration de facto to Barack, he needs to get some of those voters disliking him?

 

Comment by susan | 2008-05-18 18:18:09

Contact the superdelegates in your individual states and tell them you will not support ever again any down-party Dems who support Obama. They are all very worried about their own re-election, and this will have the desired effect of making them listen to the voters. Thanks!!!

 

Comment by AnninCA | 2008-05-18 18:45:28

Her campaign will politely disagree that he has reached the needed number.

Just so YOU know, Hillary’s thesis has been released. What is Michelle Obama hiding? Why is her thesis under “lock and key”? Why are the Obama’s preventing it from being released? What is it that Team Obama is afraid or ashamed to share with the American people?

While we’re at it, why can’t anyone view Obama’s birth certificate? What’s the biggie? For goodness sakes, it’s just a fricking birth certificate, correct? What’s the problem?

What is Team Obama hiding?

Comment by Nellie | 2008-05-18 17:04:59

You can read Michelle’s Princton Thesis on line - it is cached. Just google “Michelle Obama’s Princton Thesis”.

I had no idea that Obama was hiding his birth certificate. Other than something about his name he doesn’t want us to see. Or his parents names…

Hmmm another mystery.

Comment by Room 101 | 2008-05-18 21:21:17

Like the Anointed One’s book, the thesis is one brutal read. It is poorly written, and right out of the Wright/BLT mold.

Very odd about the birth certificate! Parent/s name/s? The rumored “M” second middle name for O?

Comment by HillaryMadamePresident | 2008-05-18 23:01:40

This is the first I’m hearing of this? What is the alleged name? Curiouser and curiouser.

 
 

Comment by tzada | 2008-05-19 07:06:19

Maybe he is afraid his fathers heritage will be listed on the birth certificate. According to a research paper I read, Obama’s father was listed with the Kenyan Government as an Arab African. If so that would make him an Arab American not African American.
All three of his names are Arabic. Obama being Swahili. Arabs settled on the East Coast and the resulting culture became known as Swahili. If you read the history of slavery you will find that it was Arabs that captured Asians, whites, blacks. Be ironic if blacks were responsible for electing an Arab, masquerading as a black. And they still harbor hatred at whites for being slavers?

Comment by JM | 2008-05-18 16:56:27

Hillary may have written a thesis about Alinsky, but Barack Obama is the one that followed his principles. I am sure that if Hillary had done her thesis on Mao Tse-Tung, y’all would be insinuating that she was a Maoist, too.

The last time that I checked, Hillary didn’t associate or mentor with racists or Weather Underground scum. And as for a communist police state, we would not have to worry about that with Hillary. Who knows what other radical associations Obama and his wife have. Personally, I am not as worried about his radical connections as I am concerned about his association with his corrupt political contemporaries in the Chicago political machine. Chicago style politics is not what America needs!

Comment by Nellie | 2008-05-18 17:08:13

I agree - Chicago politics is not the change America needs - we would be going from bad to worse!

Comment by tzada | 2008-05-19 07:11:34

They are in the process of arming 13,000 police officers in Chicago with assault weapons. That would make a small army.

 
 

Comment by jangles | 2008-05-18 22:54:51

See above post about HRC thesis. She concluded Alinsky methods would not work on a large scale; she turned down a position with Alinsky in Chicago. O was a community organizer in Chicago trained and doing exactly the Alinsky methods HRC did not choose.

 
 

Comment by anna shane | 2008-05-18 17:12:53

Barack is no threat, he’s just trying to hijack the nomination. He’s the insider favorite, he’s bet to beat Hillary. But he hasn’t been able to close the deal and he’s losing his momentum and she’s looking even better, and he’s not sure he’ll win the good old-fashioned way, by campaigning and asking folks to vote for him, so he’s trying to cut the process short and his campaign is claiming that the longer it goes on the more he will be diminished in the GE. Some of her backers would like to see it go to the convention and we resent him for playing games with this. At least I do. This ploy is supposed to make his backers angry if it’s “taken away” from him, and he first has to give it to himself or that wouldn’t make sense. The the super’s are supposed to fear the backlash from his supporters and give it to him to prevent this backlash. in this way, very similar to George Bush on the tactical level. But such a tactic may bully him into the nom, but will diminish him in the eyes of democrats and he probably won’t win the GE if he’s seen as such an arrogant and self-serving egomaniac. If you know him, tell him not to. Tell him it’s dumb and will backfire.

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-05-18 17:45:16

he’s losing his momentum and she’s looking even better

In a sane world, and with objective, impartial people running the DNC, Obama would have been gently pushed out of the race weeks ago so the party can unite behind the qualified, electable Clinton. But instead he’s about to “declare victory.” It’s like he’s read one too many of those self-help books Oprah gave him and is trying to visualize victory, then pretend it’s true, hoping the rest of us won’t notice what a sham the whole thing is. It’s on his bookshelf between the one about how to charm women by calling them sweetie and the atlas he obviously has never used.

 
 
 

Comment by catseye | 2008-05-18 15:10:13

Larry, Obama has 120 superdelegates who have firmly committed to him. They all will come forward in a couple weeks. With Obama’s double double digit win in Oregon he will have all the delegates he needs to win. The DNC will not change the rules at the end of the race. Hillary can only claim popular vote is she does not count caucuses and claims Obama got zero votes in michigan. If you count the ‘blank votes’ in michigan by 40% for Obama… Obama still leads the popular vote.
If you go by polls.. Obama and Clinton are only 5-10 points apart in michigan. We could do a revote.. but Obama would only need to win 20% in michigan to keep the popular vote lead. That’s with giving Hillary the votes as they stand now in Florida.

I hope when this ends and Hillary supports Obama you don’t turn on her like a snake and rip into her like you do Obama.

If so, you never supported her to begin with. It will be a test of your loyality to your lady.

We will see.

Comment by Emily Pickett | 2008-05-18 15:12:35

Hillary support Obama? If she does then I’ll be HIGHLY disappointed in her. She has told the truth about him and how he is NOT qualified. I hope she refuses to endorse him and I hope she doesnt’ work for him. HE DOESN’T DESERVE HER!!!

I will NEVER vote for Obama.

Believe it or not… this race is not about you. It’s not about hillary… or obama… in the end… it’s about getting a democrat in the White House. He can’t take anymore of the gop’s tragic policy’s.

Hillary is so much better than her campaign. Hillary was deeply let down by Mark Penn.
I understand your pain and anger… but Hillary’s loss is not Obama’s fault. It’s Mark Penn’s fault.
Aim your rage at the right person.

Comment by Emily Pickett | 2008-05-18 15:33:51

Believe it or not … this race IS ABOUT ME .. it’s about ALL OF US … and it’s NOT about the democratic party or getting a democrat in the White House. It’s about US AMERICANS. ALL of us - Dems, Republicans, Libertarians, Constitution Partiers, Independents … it most definately IS about US and what is best for US. It shouldn’t have to do with party loyalty. If it did - I’d be pulling the Republican lever because I’m a registered Republican.

You have forgotten what this is all about - WE THE PEOPLE. And WE want a non-sexist non-racist - which leaves Obama out.

Comment by Lucinda | 2008-05-18 15:43:39

Amen to that, and there is nothing worse for this country than blindly following some ideal of party loyalty even if the party is about to self-destruct.
When I was kid, and I didn’t understand why my mother wouldn’t let me do things that other kids were doing, she would say to me, “If all the other kids jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too?”
Apparently, the thought process here is that we should all go off of the cliff together. No can do. Thank you, Mama for raising an independent thinker.

Comment by rwc | 2008-05-18 16:16:26

Party loyalty is only deserved when its reciprocated and the DP has done nothing to deserve loyalty by its members.

Fuck them and their multicultural politically correct psychopath that they are trying to foist on us.

McCain gets my vote November if Barky gets the nomination. I personally despise McCain but at least he’s not threat to national security like Barky.

Comment by Lyn | 2008-05-18 16:14:20

Thank you, my thoughts exactly , except I am a Dem (Until this primary a PROUD Dem) who has never even considerred voting anything but straight Dem. But First I am an American and so could never vote for Obama. I won’t stay home either, because Obama rather we stay home, then he would still have a chance of winning. So I will vote for McCain and look at it more as taking away 1 of Obama’s votes instead of actually being for McCain. But it isn’t a vote of spite, I truly believe out of the choices so far Hillary would be the best President, then McCain then way down my list would be Obama. IF Hillary isn’t on the ballot, which I still think she will be (am hoping at least) Then of the 2 McCain is my choice.

That story will shut down the small donor money flowing into HRC but not to Obama.

That story will not do a damn thing unless we let it. The media has been from the beginning nothing more than a very ugly Obama cheerleader. Remember when they were saying the McCain campaign was in trouble because he was having to borrow money and that he would be dropping out of the race shortly? Did that come true? Unless I’m badly mistaken he’s the Republican nominee and Romney and Huckabee are the ones who dropped out.

If Hillary says she’s staying in, that’s good enough for me. And if Obama and the DNC think she’s going to stand by quietly like Kerry did while someone steals something from her, they better come to their senses.

Thank you. I have nightmares about that lieing, thieving, SOB and his wife. Where in God’s name was the media in all this. It is not hard to find out about this man. There are plenty of stories and articles on the internet. Even when something was revealed about this idiot, it was not reported. I blame the 4th estate for this.

Where were they? Where are the patriots in this country. They sure aren’t on television.

Obama gives me the creeps. He has made me question our elected officials. What the hell are they thinking. “He is such a leader.” Bullsh*t. He has done nothing, led nothing, established nothing of importance or relevance to this country. What are they thinking. Are our elected officials as shallow as Obama? They must be to do this to the people they represent.

I am sick to my stomach and wish I had the money to leave the country. Someone has taken over the America I grew up in.

fly, a few days ago you wrote about seeing his team cheating in Iowa caucuses.
I was Edwards supporter and remember very powerful diary written by Fieldof dreams about him cheating in Iowa.
Is it possible for you to do a diary about your experiences at Iowa caucus here in more detail? This is a very important topic that has not been covered enough. This might be good team to revisit it because there is anti-Obama momentum finally starting, as people are waking up to how he’s been pushed down our throat - and still is.
It will come out at some time - maybe by Repubs. They could say he stole the election. I’d rather it come out in time for Hillary, not McCain. Though I can’t see voting for Obama, I don’t see McCain as a better alternative.
Let’s nominate Hillary.

Obama’s coronation ceremony is set for May 20th. He’ll be crowning himself “King of Hope and Change” and “Humanity’s Savior, Messiah and next President of these 57 United States” Florida and Michigan did not receive invitations to the event nor did Rural America, Small Town America, Blue Collar America, Typical White People, Americans without College Degrees, Low Income Americans …
The Main Stream Media will be in attendance with Keith O. and Chris M. leading the crowd in the coronation chant “Long Live the King!”

Obama has two SD who should be examined.

1) Zogby of Zogby Polls. He and his brother who run it are Arabs. Obama or Zogby have not let the public know of their connection.

2) Joe Andrews former attorney of DiBold voting machines. These are very hackable. Stuff in Indiana was a tad suspicious in that one county at least.

Obama has waged the dirtiest, and filthiest cmapaign I have ever seen in my liftime, and this is my 10th Presidential election.

As to “wins” Obama claims - I would like to see some recounts, and some penalties applied to him, for each complaint on bullying, vote stealing, and lies by his bused in people.

Further, Obama shoud be prosecuted for ALL the state laws he violated during the campaign. Frankly I am sick unto death of hearing these behaviors referred to as campaign tactics. You break the law - its called a crime not a tactic!

 

Comment by JM | 2008-05-18 17:25:07

Barack Obama can take credit for some of the nastiest, dirtiest, and most deceitful politicking that I have ever seen a fellow Democrat direct at another Democrat. That IS Barack Obama’s fault! I won’t feel guilty voting against him, and I don’t care what you think about it.

Be realistic Emily. She has no choice. Don’t do that to your mind. Instead focus on the endgame and YOU HAVE THE POWER. You don’t have to vote for him. It’s your vote and nobody but you can control that. Not even Hillary. She’s a Democrat with a Senate job. If she doesn’t endorse him then they will blame her for the ass kicking he’s going to get. (They’re going to try anyway, but this way they can’t say it out loud and convince everybody else this is true.) It also destroys any chance she might have in 2012 if she wants that. I even heard that they plan on not speaking to her in Congress. Imagine that? These people all need to lose their jobs and I intend to help with that.

Ignore the politics. Isn’t that why we’re all here? Because we’ve ignored the political games and know the truth: that Obama is unelectable. Apparently it’s our job to show the Democratic Party that WE ARE RIGHT!

Mimi,

I will be more than happy to help in making sure these so called Congressional Dems, lose their jobs, AND their law licenses where applicable.

If they cannot OBEY the law, they sure have no right to be writing laws.

You are right, Mimi. Hillary will have to support for him and campaign for him, if he is the nominee. She will probably be expected to bring her supporters along. I will have to tell her that I have the utmost respect for her, but do not approve of the way the DNC has handled this nominating season and I will vote for McCain…then vote for Hillary in 4 years.

 
 
 

Comment by President Hillary Clinton will defeat Obama and his troll army! | 2008-05-18 15:25:36

What you are posting is nonsense. 2209 is the delegates needed for nomination and neither candidate has that. I hope you don’t mind waiting until August. And there is a million dollar bounty on that video as well.

You argument works only at the pro-Obama blogs but not in reality or here.

And thank you for furthering our resolve to defeat Obama.

Comment by alexei | 2008-05-18 15:56:57

Actually, now it is 2010 with MS and LA wins.

Comment by alexei | 2008-05-18 15:57:31

Sorry, 2210.

Well catseye I guess obama should have allowed the revote to see who was really voting form him in the original primary now should’nt he have? But disenfranchising obama doesn’t mind doing. And your assertion obama will have the popular vote including from the caucus states when this is over on June 3rd isn’t going to come to fruition. So lets see Hillary has the popular vote (the will of the people)Hillary has won all the large and important states, Hillary has won all of the SWING states and you claim she doesn’t have a strong argument to be the nominee? Your a kid. I will say this I highly doubt obama has the remaining SDs in his back pocket right now, or they would have come out to shut this down like the rest of them have. When Hillary kicks obamas ass in KT and has closed the gap in OR, MT, and SD, and when the 80% of the 4 million voters in PR (they believe in voting) is when the SDs will make up there mind. If they are so stupid to choose obama to be the nominee then when McCain wins the general they will have themselves to blame.

If so, you never supported her to begin with. It will be a test of your loyality to your lady.

Baloney. If the DNC persists in their apparent determination to lose the GE by trying to foist Obama on us as the nominee, they will do harm to this party which it may never overcome. If their unfathomable determination to make Obama the candidate succeeds, I have no doubt that Hillary Clinton, being a more loyal Democrat than Obama will ever be, would support the lying, backstabbing, George W. Bush clone.

But as much as I admire her, I would at that point do what I always do when a candidate I am supporting drops out — make my own choice from those still in the race. Obama has never governed anything; he has been pushed up the ladder by his questionable and criminal associates without ever doing one thing that justifies his running for President. As distasteful as I find McCain, I will have no trouble voting for him over the divisive, dangerous, Bush-like Obama. I will never vote for four more years of government by an inept, uncaring, smirky little twit like Obama/Bush; and it has nothing to do with loyalty to Hillary Clinton.

And to see an Obama supporter accuse this blog of ripping into Obama, considering the vile threats and comments made routinely against Clinton at Obama supporting blogs, is the biggest show of hypocrisy since Obama called himself a uniter. I’ll say it again — telling the truth about Obama is not turning on him, ripping into him, or swiftboating him. It is just what it is — telling the truth — and that’s all that has been done at this site. To paraphrase Harry Truman, this site isn’t giving him hell, they’re just telling the truth and you Obama supporters think it’s hell.

It amazes me that you cannot figure out that statements like yours just harden the determination of many Hillary supporters to never vote for such an unqualified candidate as Obama. Oh, I forgot, you don’t need us — you’re going to register twenty-three gazillion new voters for Obama. Maybe you better get started on that now rather than telling us how to vote.

The tragedy is that Obama already has all the votes he’s ever gonna get.

How many screaming simpletons does it take to flush the Dems’ chances into the toilet bowl of history?

That’s easy. Count Obama’s primary votes.

“But as much as I admire her, I would at that point do what I always do when a candidate I am supporting drops out — make my own choice from those still in the race.”

I agree with everything you said.

And Obama supporters pay special attention to this:

“It amazes me that you cannot figure out that statements like yours just harden the determination of many Hillary supporters to never vote for such an unqualified candidate as Obama. Oh, I forgot, you don’t need us — you’re going to register twenty-three gazillion new voters for Obama. Maybe you better get started on that now rather than telling us how to vote.”

PLEASE to all sane minds who enter this comment thread- major pod assault underway - best way to respond IS NOT TO RESPOND - IGNORE THEM as if they are not there - because they are not real anyway - as Fox reported, these are paid staffers, not the typical brainless pods. These are only heartless. How can you tell the difference between paid and unpaid obamapods? The paid ones can spell.

They have ONE common function in being here - to discourage, demoralize and apply insane leaps of logic to get us to support their false messiah.

So please all who enter this thread - ignore their comments, overlook their antics and give them NO response. They feed off us like pirhana -but can only do so if we acknowledge their presence. So, Just slide on past every slimy pod in this stream to the real democrats and kindred spirits who frequent this site.

Double digits in Oregon? Apparently, you haven’t gotten the memo. It’s a 5 point race. The only person who will be receiving double digits on Tuesday will be Hillary in Kentucky. You’re familiar with Kentucky? That’s one of the states Obama is too cowardly to campaign in. Do you really think America wants a President who has NO backbone and NO courage of conviction? Think again.

If I lived on that side of the country, I’d be out there protesting and booing his announcement. I hope there are wall to wall women there with protest signs and loud voices. This is the biggest farce I’ve ever heard of!

I hope Barry does proclaim that his “Mission is Accomplished” on Tuesday - it will make those of us who will not ever vote for him even more committed and probably piss off a few fence sitters in the process.

Comment by ScottVA | 2008-05-18 15:21:12

I think you’re totally right! This sort of silly tactic on his part only galvanizes his opposition more and adds to the numbers of people flocking to see a McGovern style defeat for Bambi!

I’ll remind some of Bambi’s supporters who come in here that in all the calls I’ve made recently for Clinton campaign I can’t tell you how many people I’ve talked to who wished they could take back their votes from previous Primaries. Meaning his previous support from his own base is eroding… I think the Bambi campaign knows this and hence that’s why they want to scream the loudest as if that means everyone will pay them more attention! The SD I spoke to thinks Obama is only hurting his case to the SD’s right now. As they said if he was truly ahead overall right now, then he’d just let it play out… That point has a lot of merit!

Comment by beebop | 2008-05-18 17:01:06

What did John Edwards accomplish?

I still can’t wrap my brain around it. An endorsement that came after John’s state voted netted Obie zero and got John a mailing list. Pretty smarmy smart for John. It was transparent to everyone what Obie was trying to accomplish. And yet. It didn’t erase the defeat and didn’t move numbers a lick in Kentucky … It was a huge meaningless maneuver and makes him look stupid. So will claiming anything short of 2010 …

It’s going to be hilarious! Everyone should decide what they’ll declare themselves as on that day. I’m going to be the Head Librarian at the Library of Congress! :-)

Remember: Only 2209 delegates is legit!

Comment by Mel | 2008-05-18 15:35:16

Well 2209 doesn’t matter to obama, remember, Obama has told Wv and Kentucky to fuck off, so remove those delegate counts as well from the totals!

Since Obama figures he can win a GE with the likes of Idaho and all his other deep Red states!

Comment by Mr Natural | 2008-05-18 16:19:57

Yeah, The Larry Craig Vote.

That might work. Anybody know if there was anything to the charge that Obama pranced through his misspent youth at Columbia wearing short-shorts and a Puka bead necklace?

“Anybody know if there was anything to the charge that Obama pranced through his misspent youth at Columbia wearing short-shorts and a Puka bead necklace?”

Mr. Natural,

Please don’t tease me. I’m crazed to find out about his mysterious time in Columbia. I can’t believe that nobody has the goods. Is this true or is it snark? I’ll take any crumbs I can find at this point.

 
 

Comment by beebop | 2008-05-18 17:02:37

He’s sure telling a lot of states to fuck off … uh, Florida, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania ….. how’s he gonna win this thing ???? oh, right, the other seven make believe states ….
