Countdown to Making History!

By SusanUnPC on March 31, 2008 at 6:41 PM in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton

Breaking News: Hillary Is Crushing Barack in Kentucky!: “A new SurveyUSA poll in Kentucky shows Sen. Hillary Clinton crushing Sen. Barack Obama, 58% to 29%, in the closed Democratic primary to be held on May 20.” The headline reads, “SurveyUSA: Obama Not Competitive in Kentucky.”

Not competitive. He’s not even competitive. Think about that. That’s incredible. And, now, Hillary talks to you:

Now go here.

You on the East Coast have just over three hours before the quarterly deadline. On the West Coast, we have just over six hours.

LET’S DO IT! LET’S MAKE HISTORY!

    Her clock says I have 8 hours to donate. Whatever! Woohoo! That poll out of Kentucky is something else.

    • themomcat

      I wish I could do more but I am maxed out for donating to her campaign.

      • simon

        I’ve already donated twice in the last week, but I think I’ll do it once more.

        Of course, you could always cheat and bundle, you know, donate in your, um, your kid’s nanny’s mom’s name.

        Just kidding.

        • themomcat

          Problem is that my kid is 39 and has maxed out as well.

          • http://noquarterusa.net/ SusanUnPC

            You can adopt me if you want. But be quick about it.

            • Andy

              We did it !! $3,092,824

              36,258 doners in this drive

              • Andy

                I meant ” donors” ( sorry I’m exhausted…).

            • Patrick Henry

              funny Susan..

              Thats Wonderful Andy…!!

              I’m gonna kick back with a big bowl of Kettle Korn and a Sprite and celebrate..

              Toasts to everyone Job Well Done..

  • Patrick Henry

    Thats MY Old Kentucky ….

    Time fur a HAPPY HOLLER….YAAAAAHOOOOO…

    Just heard on CNN:

    Blitzer: “Jack, if Hillary wins Pennsylvania, and then she wins, say, seven of the last ten contests, can’t she claim she has momentum and a right to the nomination?”

    Jack Cafferty: “Well, if she can win all ten, by a margin of more than sixty percent, maybe, but otherwise, I don’t see how you can overturn the will of the people..”

    There you go- another self-appointed Czar of the Democratic Party who has no business telling us who to nominate, setting eighty-foot goalposts for Hillary to kick a greased football through- if she can do it, then maybeshe will have a claim on the nomination…

    Who cares what this wheezy gasbag thinks? Who cares what ANY of them thinks? Keep your brain-dead “analyses” to yourselves, we are on to you. Hillary has to win New Hampshire, then she has to win Nevada, then she has to win California, then she has to win Texas and Ohio….and there’s the goalpost being set up again, till it’s finally so high even Hillary can’t clear it, so you guys can say “well, it’s over?”

    Well, fuck all of you. Can someone please make a bumper sticker, “Annoy the Media. Elect Hillary?”

    • Fran

      Someone on TM just said Nancy Pelosi was on ABC News and said the primary contest must end “NOW!” citing Hillary’s debt, blah blah blah. When will these people STFU? One day, Dean says let it play out. The next day Pelosi is on the news (again–when does she do her actual job?) pushing the opposite line. I am SO TIRED of their arrogance and dismisiveness regarding millions of voters. They are so completely out of touch.

      • simon

        The next day Pelosi is on the news (again–when does she do her actual job?) pushing the opposite line.

        They are deluded, again.

        They simply do not understand the mechanisms of the game, on their way to another sure defeat.

        To any of us who have followed Iraq, it’s like watching Bush, and Cheney, just sit back and watch them screw up, again.

        Those DC people seem like they’re in a different reality.

        I dunno, maybe that’s the point.

        None of them can win.

    • sjc-tx

      Tee shirts, bumper stickers… yeah!!!

  • Strawberrybitch

    Lou Dobbs is defending Hillary and now has the numbers to prove that the Media is pro Obama! What universe am I in? Where the hell am I? Where’s my cocktail?

    • ybnormal

      “What universe…?”
      Must be that alternate universe where Truman quit the GE race, so that Dewey could win, for the greater good of course. And history recorded that no one gave anyone hell that day.

      Can anyone share and post that?

      • http://noquarterusa.net/ SusanUnPC

        The transcript isn’t up yet. I’ll keep checking.

        And, it reairs at 1 a.m. PST. I’ve set my DVR to record it.

  • mudkitty

    Stop with the circular firing squad.

    • John

      You must have misdirected your comment. This isn’t Air America or MSNBC. That’s where a great, Progressive Democrat is being torn to shreds by alleged Liberals for the benefit of one candidate.

      Your error is excused.

    • ces

      I’ll stop when the DNC allows FL/MI’s delegates to be COUNTED.

      • bert

        Has any one here seen Wayne Barrett’s post on Huff Po about the history of the MI and FL primaries? It is long, lots of legislative manuvering stuff and leagal stuff but worth the time to read.

        A short and poor summary – Essentially he says the Republicans purposefully did it aided and abetted by Dean and the DNC and some Obama supporters in those state’s legislatures.

  • john567

    lou dobbs’ question of today is, is the media against hillary and for obama. So far with about 500 votes it is 67-33%. vote at loudobbs.com. Also on Blitzer the other guy(not Cafferty) said that the Trib in Pittsburgh is a fringe paper and the post Gazzett is the big paper. I moved from Pittsburgh 17 years ago and it was the opposite. Is the Post Gazzett the major paper now or is the Tribune Review?

    • Sam

      Cafferty is a pig. I vow to write Wolf Blitzer at thesituationroom@cnn.com one email every single day until that nasty Cafferty is off the air. What the hell has he ever done for anyone to be the decider???

    • Nellie

      Thanks for the Link.

      Now it is 18,685 votes and 72% yes Media is biased and 28% no media is not biased.

      Good for Lou Dobbs.

  • Patrick Henry

    This is a HILLARY HUGGIN LOVE IN..

    The Circle Jerk is over on the Daily SheeshKaBob web site where they Blow Up Obama Dolls..

    • http://thehorizontalworld.blogspot.com/ Mary Jo Kopechne

      Talk about circle jerk ending, the Obslobs are freaking out over a post at MyDD, comparing Obama to George Wallace. It’s great piece, Susan, maybe you should cross post it. Damning and well documented, let’s give it legs.

      • yttik

        That is a great post. You made some excellent points.

        One problem with Obama’s racial posturing is that he’s provoking people to circle the wagons. He’s instigating xenophobia. He’s making things adversarial so the real racists, (not the alleged progressive ones), will come out of the wood work in droves.

        • barbh

          He is actually causing more racial divisiveness, not less!!! Exactly one of the things that I find most offensive of him. If your not for him “your racist”. He can kiss my vote good bye unless he apologizes to both the Clintons for the “dog whistle”.

  • http://1strepublic14thstar.blogspot.com/ 1st Republic 14th Star

    Pelosi is a HUGE disappointment as Speaker. I’ve come to expect opportunism, lack of backbone and sucking up to Bush from most other Democratic leaders in Congress, especially Hoyer and Reid. I expected better of Pelosi — I didn’t expect her to be the total tool she’s become.

  • ybnormal

    A little OT, but coming back around in a second.

    What it means to “drink the Kool-Aid”.

    Sometimes people refer to this as a suicide move, along the lines of Jim Jones/Guyana. I’ve heard that technically they actually drank something called Flavor-Aid. Kraft foods might want to push this point.

    Meanwhile, there’s an older reference. In the early/mid 1960′s , a party group in the SF Bay area starting having LSD parties. Because LSD was initially legal, they even advertised with posters challenging people to take the ‘acid test’. The Grateful Dead (orininally the Warlocks) were the house band. Later it became popular to serve LSD in punch bowls of Kool-Aid.

    A sub group of these folks calling themselves the ‘Merry Pranksters’, took a cross country LSD promotional journey in a psycadelic painted school bus which was named “Further”; claiming that LSD eliminated “neural lag” so you could exist in a state of “now”. No Shit! I ain’t makin’ this up.

    Tom Wolfe chronicled the journey in “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test”.
    http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Kool-Aid-Acid-Test/dp/0553380648

    My point – finally – is that whether today we think that ignoring voters and their delegates is suicidal or just delusional, either way, we would be ‘drinking the Kool-Aid’.

  • Fleaflicker

    Hillary is going to win BIG TIME in Kentucky. I have no doubt about that. I have lots of relatives there and they LOVED Bill. Obama doesn’t stand a chance.

  • Andy

    Has anyone seen Maya Angelou post to Hillary? She starts with a poem:

    You may write me down in history
    With your bitter, twisted lies,
    You may trod me in the very dirt
    But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

    Read the rest:

    Thank you to whoever posted Wolf’s email address. I commended Wolf but went to town on Jack Caferty and Roland Martin. Those guys have got to go.

    I tend to think Lou Dobbs is somewhat racist but he does speak the truth when it comes to media bias. The videos are over at Huffington Post.
