Go, Hillary, Go!!!
If only you hadn’t been wrong about the most important strategic decision this country has faced in the past decade, whether or not to invade Iraq, you could have had this nomination sewn up. Or, even if you had the courage to admit you were wrong instead of clinging to the George W. Bush/Karl Rove admit-no-error-under-any-circumstances school of thought, you probably could have won. As it is, you have lost the Democratic presidential primary. I’m sorry, but that is the reality.
Go back to Huff and mourn there.
And Obama wasn’t in the senate at the time to vote!
And says he has no idea how he would’ve voted if he had
been!
But like little children who believe in fairies, gentle dreamers
just “know”
Even though he did not have the guts to vote against the
Senate condemnation of Moveon.Org.
And Clinton DID vote against that condemnation!
And did Obama come out against the Iraq invasion because his chief money man, Rezko, told him to? Far fetched? Rezko’s big money man is Auchi, the Iraqi living in Great Britan, and someone who allegedly did deals with the Hussein regime. (Auchi was the guy who gave money to Rezko to bail him out.)
Hillary gave a great speech!
And she has the momentum and the whiny trolls can’t stop her from going to the convention now. The whiny trolls thought they could knock her out of the race but guess what, she is still standing tall with us along side her.
What an amazing leader. Our next President Hillary Clinton!
Hillary is amazing, gracious and has so much class. to take her moment of glory and send well wishes to ted kennedy when he has campaigned to bring her down is inspiring. I don’t know how she does it..but Hillary always takes the high road no matter what mud they sling at her.
Ariana HuffingGlue needs you!
If only Dean had liked you as much as Obama. If only you had been ruthless and released Wright tapes before Super Tuesday. Or even if you had used Obama-esque criminal techniques in caucuses. If only the Superdelegates decide winning is more imporant than being bought off. Now that is reality.
Her strategy is the correct one, given those tactics aren’t working for Obama.
Confusing isn’t it, when the win has to painted cosmetically.
Then what?
Round and round we go, until it’s ALL lost.
Cheney knows.
Obama was against the war before he was for it before he was against it. So Obama is worse off than Hillary if you’re interested in the truth.
Trolls are allergic to truth. And the big truth is Hillary will be our next president if we keep fighting our asses off for her.
This has nothing tp do with politics, everything to do with lil Dean and co’s corruption.
She has WON, ignore that reality at your own peril.
Ah, fucks up the head, doesn’t it?
Yeah, just what I thought.
Brazille sees the writing on the wall. She has backed off. Hillary is in great shape if we keep fighting for her.
I think they think the fix is in for Obama, sitting smug.
Unless there is verifiable info out there ready to break the guy was involved with 9.11.
As far as any fix goes they can keep dreaming. This has gone on way past the time that could work. The rebellion has begun, Koch said he would vote for McCain if Obama ran against him, Ferarro said something similar. NOBAMA groups are sprouting up everywhere.
I am very confident for Hillary.
I doubt it. They sent out their fund-raising e-mails, though, and I made sure to include Donna’s remark about not needing my demographic.
I suggested they ask those urbans for the cash.
My guess is that they got the message, anyway, that she needs to shut up.
WHAT — you means Donna B. hasn’t taken off her shoe and pounded the desk with it? She hasn’t pulled off her wig and thrown it — she isn’t throwing a major temper tantrum?
Is that racist sow facing reality — that her man child will NOT win?
This comment dishonors and sheds a poor light upon racist sows everywhere.
Gee, thanks, Sweetie. Don’t you have some sort of “Mission Accomplished” party to go to?
bite me, lone star.
And if only you did better research.
I’m sorry, ??? OH yea that’s one of those seven extra states on BO’s Map!
Along with the others 6 dwarfs he through under the bus.
Wrong, wrong and wrong. If the DNC and Obama surrogates like Brazile hadn’t wrongfully disenfranchised 2.3 million voters, she would have been the nominee on Super Tuesday.
The pledged delegate selection system is a sham. Do what the Republicans do and what the Democrats used to do before McGovern and Jesse Jackson forced this byzantine and arcane undemocratic system on the Party.
Super Delegates, do your job - select the candidate who will win in November and will be the best President, Hillary Clinton. Don’t go off the cliff like lemmings, Obama is unelectable.
Don’t go off the cliff like lemmings, Obama is unelectable.
Parachutes not included.
Troll alert!
Polls are showing the economy is the most important issue for people. Obama is weak on this, he will never win the GE.
And if that is the case, then I’m even sadder to report that we have lost the Presidency once again to a Republican. Only Hillary can beat McCain.
Sorry, as usual I’m just a troll.
Email me at barack@obama.com
I will take Senator Clinton’s vote, based on the information she was given at the time - with all the other senators who also voted for the war including Kerry and Edwards (which, incidentally, Obama wasn’t privy to) than take Obama’s continued association with all his terrorist friends!
STFU about the AUMF vote already! Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame could see past that– why the fuck can’t you? Hillary Clinton has the intelligence and experience to deal with the Iraq war compassionately and conscientiously.
And after 9/11, most Senators know that you have to give a president latitude. You can’t handcuff him. You HAVE to trust that the elected president is not a raving maniac.
There was no way in hell anyone knew that our VP was lying through his ass.
If Obama had been in the senate, in all likelihood he would not have voted as heroically as some like to fantasize. His votes after he was in the senate indicate that.
There was no way in hell anyone knew that our VP was lying through his ass.
I strongly disagree. I knew it. But that’s hardly the point.
lots of us knew it.
I give the Senator from New York a break considering 9/11 happened in her state, but
after Florida 2000 we all knew who and what the guys in charge of W were about. Really, why would oil men steal the White House in full view of the entire world? We now know what they knew then: Saddam had lymphoma and his oil would soon be up for grabs (in their minds). What could possibly go wrong?
I have a feeling that Hillary is actually going to win the nomination. I started feeling it first when I saw NARAL post a whole Obama vs. McCain page on pro-choice issues. Almost like a “Dewey Beats Truman” curse…Obama spoke too soon and now he’s going to lose it.
Yep. And now we have party elders saying they would vote for McCain if Obama was running against him. The writing is on the wall.
A long time ago, I found an astrology prediction on the web.
OK - I really do not go in for that stuff. But the guy wasn’t a
pop astrologer, and his site was pretty wonky.
He had these elaborate charts, and had predicted years ago
that she would be president at this time. Last year, he
predicted that she and Obama would run, and she would
win the presidency. He backed it up with charts.
I’ve tried to find the URL, but it’s not there anymore.
At any rate, in her darkest moments, I think about
that prediction - and think “nah, astrology is bs. There is
no way. But jut maybe . . . “. Then when
she makes a 180 degree turn, I start to wonder.
I remember reading that. Those charts showed that Snobami being very very charismatic.
But they said that he wasn’t good enough for the job. Hillary had it in her chart
Excellent speech Hillary… Donating some more to my hero!
Way to go dude! And leave a comment on Hillary’s blog!
Gave another donation to the BEST, MOST QUALIFIED, MOST EXPERIENCED, CLASSIEST, SMARTEST DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE: Hillary Clinton.
I’m so proud of her. I couldn’t possibly support ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT in this race.
Thanks so much for your grit, your courage, and your dedication to all of us, Sen. Clinton.
And a Scorpio to boot.
Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton 08
CNN just read some of the comments from people. It’s so embarassing to hear the way people talk these days. One said, “Everyone knows that Kentucky people are poor and uneducated.”
Man, these people have absolutely no class whatsoever.
They actually said that? Wow they are out of touch. You can’t win the White House without Kentucky and the good hardworking people who live there.
Watch Fox! They’ve been real good to her tonight.
This after noon, blitzer had a group talking about her comment about sexism. They did not show one example of what she was talking about.
They just sat around poo pooing ther. Framing her as a “whiny feminist”. All calculated to piss off the demographic voting for her.
My favorite is how MSNBC is telling viewers how Kennedy is “passing the torch” to Obama. Playing the sympathy card.
And both had Obama talking about what Kennedy meant to him.
Clinton got no soundbite, of course.
You know the next few days, they’ll talk about nothing except how Obama is poor dying Kennedy’s legacy.
Maybe Obama will take Michelle out to Edgartown in an Oldsmobile one night soon…
They were reading view comments.
It’s ironic, (and yet so satisfying) to know that my nephew, who no longer speaks to me because I support Hillary, lives in Kentucky. Wonder how he’s feeling tonight.. lol
Haha! We wish you all the satisfaction in the world!
Reach out to him.
Wow. Stunning. Are you watching this Superdelegates? November will be about the economy and trustworthiness, and strength. And you can bet the repubs are going to use every strategy possible to scare the voters into making the war on terror an issue as well. And.. Hillary kicks ass on every issue.
Oh.. but of COURSE David Espo of AP immediately puts out an article that her win was “raced based”, even though OBama garnered the majority of the AA votes, and I mean MAJORITY of AA votes. But that is not race based voting??? Apparently white voters don’t have the ability to discern the best candidate on the important issues to them, especially if they don’t have a degree. What a slap in the face to working people in America.
I’ve been posting here for months, and I think many of your have read (and maybe liked my posts.) I have a 10th grade education. Seriously. Took a test and left high school. Probably spent a total of 9 solid months in high school. Took a few classes at the community college, all creative. Am I an idiot racist because I also happen to support Hillary and have no college degree? I’m really really tired of the media trying to paint everyone without a college degree as uneducated and racist.
It was an incredibly stupid way to frame the division between the two groups. All they had to say and would have been right was that Hillary is taking the moderat-to-conservative Democrats overwhelmingly.
The pundits have talked their way right out of jobs, I suspect. LOL*
They may keep their jobs but their relevance has definitely been compromised. I can find only two political analysts who actually make sense any more, Karl Rove and Pat Buchanan. The fact that all the “democratic” analysts are completely incompetent is disheartening, although I am sure that the corporate overlords pretty much dictate this scenario.
Agree…but they slapped these guys and pretended they were prepared to analyse and comment to compete with Fox.
Problem one: They are not trained to really be analysts. They are media guys.
I never watch them. Even the better shows seem superficial to me. Nobody gets to make their point clear, too many opinions without much back-up, and the topics seem off-kilter more than on.
CNN today challenging someone that she’s not really a Democrat, for example. Good grief. That’s snark stuff on blogs. A professional doesn’t say crap like that to people!
But…he did.
I never thought I would agree with anything complimentary to Rove. However, you are correct. He is an excellant analyst and so is Buchanan.
You seem pretty smart to me. Ppl with degrees most often end up working for high school dropouts anyway. And if this campaign is any education there are a lot of uni ppl who are colossally dumb.
Thanks for a nice post.
Intelligence is over rated when is it used as a cultural reference.
I am sure there were more people voting against Hillary because of her gender than voted against Obama because of his race. It’s funny how no one talks about that.
Wow. Stunning. Are you watching this Superdelegates? November will be about the economy and trustworthiness, and strength. And you can bet the repubs are going to use every strategy possible to scare the voters into making the war on terror an issue as well. And.. Hillary kicks ass on every issue.

I’m really really tired of the media trying to paint everyone without a college degree as uneducated and racist.
I agree…why is it ok for aa voters to choose obama 91 percent…but it’s not ok for white voters to choose hillary 89 percent? why???????? I’m sick of this double standard!
Hehe. So true. It’s called the ‘bamboozle’. Or the ‘okey-dokey’. Some people call it ‘black supremacy’.
Hey Catriley, I like your posts a lot! Apparently a lot of people think we’re idiot racists because we voted for Hillary (and some of them are in MY family too!). Know what I say? F*ck ‘em. You can’t control what people think about you. Hillary obviously just keeps going no matter WHAT people think about her! Imagine putting up with the crap that gets flung at her? If she cared what people thought of her, she’d be at home curled up in a ball (like another candidate we know). My eyes are on the prize, and tonight I feel very hopeful. Maybe the Super Delegates who haven’t endorsed anyone are smart (LIKE US), that’s why they’re waiting. I sure hope so.
catriley — Nothing has offended me more than the Obama camp calling blue collar voters “Archie Bunkers” after their loss in Ohio. A college degree means nothing. Harry Truman, Peter Jennings, Bill Gates, and many, many other fine Americans have no degree. My grandfather had a 5th grade education and was the wisest man I’ve ever known.
Susan…thank you for the break down!!! I pray Oregon is a tight race.
Terry McCauliffe said tonight that Hillary had her second biggest money month..if you listened to the trolls and the MSM one would get the impression she was broke and funding her own ego driven campaign..Au Contraire the people want her …they really want her and are ponying up so she can go to the convention and win the nomination….and she will see it through to the convention
and she will win
She is my hero too.
Did you hear the crowd chant her site with her?
That simple trick did it for her.
I wanted to send money right after they gave it to her, just for effect.
That way, she gets to announce the money tomorrow.
I DID send money: in honor of her 34 point lead (so far…) I sent $34.44!
WooHoo, so glad she’s raking in the dough! She is so my hero too! I teared up listening to her victory speech tonight.
200,000+ and more than 2-1. Wow.
Yes!
I thought the trolls were supposed to be making kissy face with us so Obama won’t loose the general as bad as Dukkakis did…
Lightin up a fatty, zowie wowie.
I told you guys a long time ago, it is the DNC vs DLC. Howard Dean wants the Clinton’s out. His 50 State announcement in 2006 was a clue. President Clinton devised this years agon and Dean totally disagreed with it. November 5, 2008 GET READY FOR THE BIG PAYBACK!!! THE BIG PAYBACK to quote James Brown. I know, it was whispered in my ear in June, 2007. What can I say, Pillow Talk.
What does Dean have against the Clintons?
They hate that they are centrist. What most of America is. You don’t know how many heated conversations I have had with so called democrates who hate Bill Clinton and this was before impechment. They hate that he went along with a republican congress. They hate the welfare reform bill. In fact they hate that he was born. They hate Hillary because they belive she forced him to his positions.
But, as much as I dislike BO, the played that party! He may them believe he is the new coming. Again, in the words fo James Brown, “get rady you suckers for the bit payback.”
I love James brown, ! Such wisdom.
Holy Derby, it’s another landslide in another swing state!
Did you hear her victory speech? Didn’t sound like a concession to me…sounds to me like WE’RE GOING TO THE CONVENTION, BABY!
I need a room in Denver
She’s not conceding. I believe her when she says that.
Now, if all the SD’s pledge, she might concede then, or if her own SDs flee.
But I don’t see that happening now. He’s obviously got a huge problem here, and it’s getting worse, not better.
what in the world makes you think kentucky is a swing state???
Since it has went with the winner of the last ELEVEN presidential elections!!!!!
that does not define it as a swing state.
I thought Obama was going to be strong in places like NC. Read this just out Survey USA poll:
http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=89a1b144-de19-4715-bb6f-97b2e817a23b
North Carolina, 24 Weeks to Election Day: McCain Defeats Obama, But Clinton Defeats McCain: In a vote for president today, 05/20/08, 24 weeks until election day, Republican John McCain defeats Democrat Barack Obama, according to this exclusive WTVD-TV news poll conducted by SurveyUSA. Today, it’s McCain 51%, Obama 43%. But, if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, Clinton defeats McCain. With Obama on the ballot, the Republicans carry the state, 51% to 43%. With Clinton on the ballot, the Democrats carry the state, 49% to 43%.
Those are cool polls. I presume the diff between this and the NC primary is it’s more difficult to rig a poll.
Wow….that’s an amazing poll number. This is starting to look humiliating for the DNC and Obama.
dem’s for a day and still she beats ‘em.
Did Dean give a thought to what would happen if ONLY African Americans voted for Obama when Howard made this statement on NPR’s All Things Considered regarding not seating the Florida delegates?
“…it also stepped on South Carolina which was our way of including large numbers of African-Americans in the process to select the Democratic nominee, who cannot become president without a large number of African-Americans voting in November”.
I saw that and thought it really was disingenious.
WHY would he go there?
i think that would be about every republican president …. just an educated guess though
WHOEVER SHE MAY BE!!!!!!!!
Haha! I Loved that too!!
WHOEVER SHE MAY BE!!!
Dear Goddess. She is cutting him off at the knees.
Important—–Larry & Co
check this out–we have laws against electioneering
http://www.electionjournal.org/
Obama people play dirty - and they still lose.
GO HILLARY! all the way…all the way!
More votes, more large states, more swing states=
President….
NOT a Vice President spot!
take a hike Obama.
They got 37% of the Democrat voters out. Not bad at this stage of the game.
I guess I never understood what it took to tow Bush and Cheney into the presidency until I saw what it’s taking the bamster to hold on here, in the primaries.
Wow.
All gas, no meat, at all…
When the candidate has no talent, at all, it is simply a matter of packaging, and rearranging the package, continually.
Helps if there is a package to rearrange.
At least jr had baker, Obama has…Dean.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Take that boy out for a steak dinner, quick, now!
All I see is spit,safety pins, and broken zippers on a pillow, never mind the glue…
I can’t stand to listen to him right now, so I’ll have to let others tell me what his stupid remarks were about today.
I am a Republican who supported Rudy, and now McCain, basically on the national security issue. I work in the field and would like to see us stay on offense.
I just wanted to say BRAVO–Hillary has impressed the hell out of me. She has proven just how tough she is - much tougher than the whiny Obama. (I see this all over conservative websites - people are impressed with Senator Clinton’s resolve.)
An Obama presidency would keep me up at night, but Hillary is definitely tough enough to be my Commander-in-Chief.
Good luck!
Same to you, OSG. Your guy isn’t bad either. Thanks for stopping by!
Yes, thank you.
I’m a Southern Girl, too. And I had planned all along to vote McCain, but if Hillary is able to hang in there and pull off the nomimation - I’m with HER!!!
If Hillary puts away that Nancy Boy Obama, she just might earn my vote too!
Thanks for your insights, see ya in November
BTW any news on the tapes?
One guy on my side of the blogosphere said he’s been hearing about the tape for about a month from a contact he made while working on the Fred Thompson campaign.
What he heard is that the Hillary camp has it and is pondering its options–i.e., does she release it herself or pass it on to Repubs?
Other than that, folks are just hopeful that it exists and will emerge soon. NOBAMA!
Folks, i am going to Best Buy to buy new TV. I just threw my beer mug at my flat screen TV and shattered into a 1000 pieces when i heard the fucking asshole of Chris Matthews gave his asinine and lame ass analysis of Hillary victory speech.
One primary after the other, Hillary performed a colonoscopy and endoscopy on Obama in 2 states where she fucked him in the ass twice by 41 inches, i mean points and 35 points. And instead of that fucker of Matthews talking about how fucking weak is Obama, and how fucking weak their presumptive to fucking lose by more than 35% twice in 2 weeks, he is putting down and minimizing Hillary victory. Oh my blood is boiling, and i feel like smoking again…goodness why did i quit.
Don’t worry about me folks, i have the means to break and buy flat screen tvs by the dozen.
LOL*….I never watch him. He’s a jerk.
It’s too late tonight and i am already at my 3rd beer, so i will go tomorrow to Best Buy.
Uh-oh.
sheesh, send one down to me … i’m still trying to get the windows fixed after what hurricane katrina did to the lil kathouse
I am more concerned about the beer.
Buy two. Send one to me.
Chrish matthews is so stupid, he thinks that Cock Robin is a felony.
Good thing John Edwards endorsed Obama. That really helped with Obama’s miserable demographics in the swing states!
Supers, are you paying attention? 34 point victory in KY! 41 in WV! Both after the primary race was declared dead. I am beginning to believe your SD votes really are about nothing beyond money, and Obama is seen as a money train. Have you no decency? No loyalty? Do you have any patriotism? Or are you just greedy?
I am beginning to believe your SD votes really are about nothing beyond money
Slow starter?
Soros reputedly has $40 million yet to give to Barry boy. Gee what’s he afraid of? 
Gosh what could it be, Georgie Boy? 
and Obama is seen as a money train. Have you no decency? No loyalty? Do you have any patriotism? Or are you just greedy?
Yeah you got it all right!
WTH is Soros pushing this CORRUPT piece of crap?
What’s his view on Israel?
Is he looking at an indictment, too?
And speaking of moveon. org, Soros dumped Air America when it became a liability.
I’m so sick of the argument that Michigan can’t count because Obama’s name wans’t on the ballot - it’s being made on H&C again. He took his name off! Clinton has to deal with early strategic errors, so should Obama.
The news guys are surprisingly uninformed about how the process actually works.
The candidates could do most anything they wish. They have to agree.
But the news guys got THEIR information from the DNC, who did a horrible job as well as Pelosi, etc.
That is how Obama got this crazy idea out there that whoever has more delegates wins. LOL* No, that’s not the system, but he got the message out there and it’s stuck.
you guys are aware that kentucky went republican in 5 out of the last 7 presidential elections, including bush, both times, right?
Well it’s a DAMN GOOD THING the 2 times we won KY it was a Clinton, isn’t it.
Hi Shez!
Good to see you at NQ!
Yea, and guess who the democrat was who won it twice. I’ll give you a hint, he’s about to be first dude.
But LBJ won it and so did Carter, the first time. The second time he lost it. KY is a big swing state,
ARG was the poll winner tonight. ARG predicted 65-29 and it’s 65-30. ARG has been maligned because they were terrible for the early primaries. But they seem to be getting better.
And ARG has predicted Oregon at a slim margin of 5% for Obama, with 5% undecided….hmmmm.
Clinton won twice.
So, can we expect “Gore for Obama,” tomorrow?
LOL
They’re so predictable.
That’s what I figure too…but I’ll still be very disappointed in Al.
There are more registered Dems in Kentucky than Republicans.
Clearly, she could carry this state. Obama blew them off.
He’s not even trying for it.
Too bad about North Carolina now. Looks like he’s lost that one, too.
Are you also aware that IDAHO, UTAH AND KANSAS, to cite only a few states, have gone republican in the last 10 elections. They have not voted for a democrat since LBJ in 1964.
Now, shut up and go brush up on your history, and every time we carried Kentucky like 1976, 1992 and 1996, we won the White House.
IDAHO, UTAH AND KANSAS, so are these the states that you won and you are hoping to carry in the general elections. If you carry IDAHO, UTAH AND KANSAS, i will chop off my sex and send it to you.
Don’t forget that he’s counting on those 400 Dems in Alaska. *hooting*
LOL, Chris the troll is such an idiot, I can’t even answer back…
So is Alaska the 57h or 58th state?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
And who were those two wins? Bill Clinton!!! And you are aware that Democrats have only won two of the last seven presidential elections. As Kentucky goes, so goes the presidency!
yeah, with perot on the ballot both times, sucking up 20 percent of the republican vote.
honestly, are you really this stupid?
Guess again friend. Kentucky has went with the winner of the last Eleven presidential elections! Hate to tell you, but Perot was only in two elections. It is a state we need!
Or how about the fact that no Democrat has won the presidency without winning West Virginia since 1916.
Obama cannot win the general election.
Every Dem since JFK who has lost KY has lost the White House.
WAKE UP!
EVERY Dem elected since 1960 has won KY.
GET A CLUE!
Yeah we’re aware of that. We’re also aware your nancy of a candidate was scared to set foot in there. And we’re also aware OUR candidate one WVA by 41% points last week and no one’s made it to 1600 without WVA since 1916.
We’re also aware our candidate blew your candidate away in CA at least in part because he made a big stink about not being photographed with the SF mayor. (Your candidate’s a nice guy - we’re all in agreement on that.)
We’re also aware our candidate blew your candidate away in the crucial state of OH which every candidate has to carry to get to 1600. And the same goes for PA where she handed him what was left of his sausage on a diner assiette.
We’re aware OUR candidate has carried every crucial swing state save one - and YOUR candidate has carried only that one.
We’re aware OUR candidate is picking up all the important votes, leads your candidate in victories since 5 March - and this despite all the dirty tricks your hopey changey candidate and his orcs like yourself have tried to pull. (Somehow the good guys - and gals - always win, don’t they?)
Finally we’re aware if you count all 50 states OUR candidate has the popular vote Republicans included and that if you count only Democrat votes OUR candidate’s been wiping your candidate off the floor all along.
What’s your point? Is this Awareness Week? It is? Cool! Can we ask a question too?
Will you be voting for the first time in 2012?
MADAM PRESIDENT! oh yes indeedy. yes indeed.
. the hubris of barak is his achilles heel. the candidate from manchuria is going down. bye bye barak. bye bye george soros, dean the duck , donna brazillicuddy, and all the rest of the inflated punditocracy.
Hillary shines like the north star.
Poetic. Nice! Thanks!
What’s your point, hi? That Obamanuts should remember that when crowing about his “victories” in red states like Idaho?
Brain surgeons like you are really a big selling point for the Obamaborg, huh? He’s really throwing away his kingmakers’ dollars wisely!
Don’t forget he won Alaska and Hawaii, too, the 56th and 57th states!
Nah! Kids like him don’t cost much. Axelrod buys Snickers in bulk once a week, lets them share a big bucket of KFC every second day, that’s all they get.
An exceptional win. The exit polls speaks volumes and seal Obama’s fate to all except the truly dumb.
Yes and the truly dumb are over at DailySkata having a campfire.
That was my first time even looking at the sad place and I must say they seemed rather young. As in many of them aren’t old enough to even be first time voters. I’d say just from the dense way they think that most are 24 or under.
Here are some gem comments I found there. Enjoy.
Clinton benefitted from those who voted on gender, and she benefited from the racist vote. - Marskata Moulitsas
i question hillary’s sanity at this point - aaraujo
Clinton is scorching the earth. She’s going too far. Super Delegates need to step up to the plate and end this. They need to exercise leadership, which is always a difficult thing to do. Obama needs to get to the 2025 threshold before May 31st. - The Bagof Health and Politics
Methinks this [superdelegate] system needs to be done away with, sooner rather than later. - panicbean
PS. Please note the hyper-educated Marskata who couldn’t even spell ‘benefitted’ the same way twice in the same sentence.
Chris! Ever hear of the MUTE button? But I can relate…sometimes the face alone is enough to make you want to throw things!
—
Terry…I saw that a good large percentage of Kentucky voters say the Edwards endorsement swayed them.
Does this mean Hillary was originally poised to win 3 to 1??
I can’t believe anyone cares what edwards has to say. do you guys remember in the beginning when edwards was still in and even though he only had a smattering of delegates the pundits were saying oh, edwards can take this to the convention and make it a brokered convention? they said he’ll have real pull with which way this election goes. ok….so why with the race basically dead even between Clinton and BO are these same pundits screaming at the top of their lungs that hillary has to get out? Why aren’t they talking about the leverage Hillary now has?
Because it’s a boys game, cc. These wimps - just like the ones you see at work, just like the ones in the MSM who made it so difficult for Jessica - just don’t feel comfortable with a woman around. They can’t tell the same pee and poo jokes (or so they think) and they can’t guffaw with their usual repartee of sexually abusive banter. Just like at work: they’d hop over the perfect candidate just because she’s a girl and take a total loser just because he’s a guy and they can get along with him.
But that’s only the surface of course. Dig deeper and find the money and follow it. Lots of money.
Zee, i am in the middle of quiting smoking because i had an angioplasty about 2 months ago. So they told me i had to quit smoking and whiskey. That was a hell of timing too. So, i switched to light beer and chowing on romaine lettuce leaves and those romaine leaves do not calm my nerves at all….
Peter Hart’s view:
“Barack Obama definitely has a problem coming out of the primaries,” says veteran Democratic pollster Peter Hart. “You can look at Pennsylvania, you can look at Ohio, you can look at West Virginia and it tells you he has a lot of work to do with older voters, with white working class. … A lot of work has to be done by the Obama campaign — has to be done very, very quickly.” Hart has many influential Democrats as clients.

He’s not even trying, frankly. He didn’t bother to introduce himself there, although he outspent her again on ads.
The guy is just blowing through money like mad. What a waste.
Did you see that in PA, a consultant told him to scale back the ads and he said, Nope?
The consultant refused to work with him then.
Yeah exactly. The polls said he was alienating people by carpet bombing them with that ad nonsense. Brute force to win love - what a tactic.
I see the “Rally Story” is the same as the “Coliseum Story” in NC. Typical smarmy Obama.
What ya got Uppity?
I don’t know if this is the same issue, but if you are talking about OR, John Kerry got 50K at his rally and he was not the second coming.
Open Appeal:
Perhaps someone reading this blog for the first or hundredth time may feel an urge to come forward and be counted. Please be brave and come clean if you know anything about the possibility that Barack Obama has used illegal drugs as late as the 1990’s or has engaged in intimate relationships with other men. I would encourage you to contact Mr. Sinclair in confidence at his posted email address, and he and his attorney can arrange your safety and take a statement. Please come forward. The truth is all we seek.

I think that sounds like smear. We don’t want smear. If Barry’s a sad sack of shit in a cheap suit - that’s one thing. But smearing is not good. It denigrates the people you are supporting.
Naw, we just find some cheeseball Republicans to do the heavy lifting, like leaking to Novak.
Post Drudge, L. Goldberg, L. Tripp and the Arkansas Project, and Shrubbie sliming McCain in SC, all is allowed.
“Obama the Booty Bandit.” Sounds like a new meme.
“Fair” is where you go to eat cotton candy and smell monkey poop.
Also, look at this primary win map. http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?year=2008&off=0&elect=1&f=0
That’s quite a swatch of states for Hillary, unbroken from Massachusetts to California.
What I see there is also the tremendous disparity in caucus votes. Who thought up that idea of the caucus anyway? Howard Dean?
Senator Hillary Clinton, my President, my hero!!!
You are my role model: when times are hard for me, I think of you: DO NOT QUIT!! GET UP AND MOVE ON !!
Hillary has been betrayed by her friends,but she continuous serving her beloved country. Her faith makes her strong.
We will be fighting with you,Hillary!
Thank God for this blessings!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
When you’re president, you’re president alone…
sort of.
I’m paraphrasing from another site:
Tomorrow Obama will trot out Jesus. Only Jesus will be Obama wearing a tacky aluminum halo.
The media will exclaim “That is the most beautiful halo ever!” and fall to their knees (a position that I’m sure Chris Matthews is particularly accustomed to, all things considered).
Then Gore will talk about how Obama (e.g. Jesus) can actually evaporate greenhouse gases with just a flicker of his effete latte addled hand.
Ergo, Global Warming is solved.
We have lots to look forward to tomorrow!
Gore will not be endorsing Obama.
Be sure of this.
I hope so, I’d like to have faith in at least ONE of the politicans I (used to) admire…
Tomorrow Bambi is going to roll out the 12 Apostles to endorse his ass and give him some serious blessing because he needs it to win in the fall. So, expect to see live on TV just at 6:30 John, Matthew, Luke, Peter, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Thaddeus, James, Simon the Cananean, Judas.
So the question is: who is going to be Judas?
does his first name start with an a…second name start with a g? probably, but if so it will be a very, very sad day.
I don’t think Al Gore will endorse anyone before June 3rd.
She picked up 250,000 in popular votes.
42% turned out.
Hillary has so much glass and grace. She is determined to fight for every American. Go Hillary!
From Savage Politics–as JC notes, a great way to promote truthful blogs!
“THEY ARE TAKING PHONE CALLS OVER AT CSPAN SO THAT CITIZENS CAN MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD ABOUT THIS SEASON’S ELECTION.
PLEASE CALL THE NUMBERS BELOW AND MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD… LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU “WILL NOT COME AROUND AND VOTE FOR OBAMA”
PLEASE, ALSO MENTION SavagePolitics.com AND OUR COMMUNITY!
HERE ARE THE NUMBERS:
Clinton supporters 202 737 0001
Hussein ” 202 737 0002
Other 202 628 0205″
Please note how Msnbc, Abc, and CNN are playing with the percentages.
Only FOX has them up correctly.
I guess the others do not want to give HRC the more than 2/3 number because it is a hallmark.
More trivial games by the Obama media. What’s new?
I expect to see them use the decimal points again.
Fox shows these numbers:
Hillary Clinton 458,645 67.20% 33
Barack Obama 209,731 30.73% 14
John Edwards 14,175 2.08% 0
Wonder why MSNBC, ABC and CNN are sticking to the 65%.
67% seems to be accurate.
As I stated earlier, more games by the Obama media to CYA and negate all things Clinton.
Hillary CRUSHED Him, The Front RUNNER keeps getting his ass kicked by 35+
Obama refuse a re-vote Michigan with Hillary supporters willing to pay for it out of fear he would lose. so he should get 2/3 of the votes in Michigan since John Conyers told the voters to vote uncommitted for Obama and Edwards
Florida was fair and had the highest election turn out in years and they should be counted as the voters voted. Theres no law or rule that can stop the popular vote count its certified and tallied. Obama want to say GOD DAMN FL AND MICHIGAN….Obama is just like Wright
what I hate is that Obama and all his little minions keep saying - but, but Obama didn’t even have his name on the ballot in Michigan, so we can’t possibly count those votes. first - he’s the one who took his name OFF the ballot in that state and second - Obama’s the one who BLOCKED a revote, so as they say - screw him!
CNN has breaking news that Obama has won the majority of pledge delegates, don’t know if CNN is now the official DNC. so they are calling the nomination.
So what. The majority means nothing.
It’s a haka - ignore it. Obama would be doing this himself, if he wasn’t suddenly concerned with offending Clinton supporters.

This is the best that KINGMAKER dollars can buy?
Hey SockMonkey…the nomination has a SPECIFIC number attached to it…and OBAMA FAILED to reach that number.
Suck on it.
In addition, given the SD’s, this is a convention matter, if Obama isn’t exposed first.
So, really, save it.
Everyone can see through Axelrods dumbboi shit.
Chris, oh no. No whiskey? I thought whiskey was medicinal.
Light beer is only worth throwing.
Final Results a 35% blowout! JShe won by just over 249,000 votes. Wow!!
According to Fox the winning % was 36.47%, if so HRC got over 2/3 of the vote despite Edwards sell-out. I will take every percentage point.
67.20% HRC
30.73% BHO
doesn’t look to me like edwards endorsement means crap
I’m on the Kentucky state site. It’s 65.5% to 30.0 with 2 counties remaining (99.2% in)
The 75,000 People in Portland Were There for a free Portland Band Rock Concert
——————————————————————————–
LOL! Found this article about the supposed 75,000 people rally that Obama had in Portland.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/robert-…ma-s-big-rally
Turns out that there was a free rock concert by a Portland based band before Obama got there. This band got rave reviews from Rolling Stones which I’m sure is why so many young people showed up.
I know I probably would have stayed there just to see the toad even if I wasn’t voting for him.
Isn’t it funny that the mainstream media didn’t report it. LOL!!! What a bunch of frauds.
Link didn’t connect to the story.
OMFG I read that! I KNEW it was too good to be true that he could draw 75k into a place like that.
He can’t do a Kerry. And he has to lie. And for what? a 16% blowout again Clinton? Seriously, he can’t do a single thing right.
And for the MSM to proclaim he can pull this off? Well, I bet you they won’t be that stupid once the GOP launch again Snobami…
Oh, that speaks for itself…….and in VOLUME.
Did you folks notice something today about how the stupid pundit and the politicians, all of them, are talking about Ted Kennedy.
All of them are describing him as a fighter for the working class, someone who fought all his life and never quit in the face of adversity and how he will fight and beat cancer (and i wish he does and i wish all the best for him and god’s speed). So to go back to my point: he is the fighter which something extremely good.
So, my question: why aren’t they, these same guys, talking about how a fighter and not quitter Hillary Clinton is? She is fighting for the working class and not quitting too and she is fighting in a campaign and winning where she is outspend 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 and she is not quitting.
So the same qualities are upheld and appreciated as good qualities for one guy and not for the other one.
You tell me folks, explain to me because i might just be an idiot who happens to have a master degree from from Ivy league school. What do i know?
I don’t know why it is cutting off the link to the concert that 75,000 people attended in Portland but here it is:

Does that work?
I’ve been having trouble with NoQuarter all day today.
Here is the link and I’m giving it to you in a couple parts because when I try to type the whole link here it is giving me errors on the page and it is not posting at all. Just type the whole URL in your address bar continuously. There are no spaces anywhere.
This is the link for the 75,000 people rally that actually turned out to hear a free Portland rock band concert that got rave reviews in Rolling Stone.

Type in the part that isn’t blue as well-all the way to the word rally. THERE’S A DASH BETWEEN BIG-RALLY
Oh, by the way that band that played in Portland is called the Decemberists and they play the Soviet National Anthem before their concerts.
Good to know.
Obama has won so far 15 counties to Hillary’s 10 in OR
Hillary won 118 Counties to Obama 2
I just listened to the jokers on CNN discussing how race was a factor in Hillary’s Kentucky win. One suggested that she actually tell her supporters that she doesn’t want their vote if they are simply voting against a black person. Unbelievable!!! In South Carolina when 93% blacks voted for Barack they didn’t suggest he tell his supporters he didn’t want their votes if that was their motivation. No, blacks voting for the black candidate is racial identity. White people voting for a white candidate is racism!!!!!! “Working class” voters have a whole host of reasons why they don’t support Obama, none of which have to do with race!
Well put, Ann!
Chris, and notice that they never talk about how Kennedy dragged HIS race for president on to the bitter end, hmmm?
And, as Ann says, they go on and on about racism…except when it comes to the percentage of AA voting for Obama.
