"271.5 superdelegates"

How in the hell do they get that? Is one of the super delegates a midget?

Democrats Abroad has some Super Delegates [11 I think] and each delegate has 1/2 vote as opposed to the other Super Delegates.

Cheer up. The Clintons are disintegrating before our eyes. And the bonus is that when she finally bows out, and Obama chooses another running mate, the Clintons will use every tool at their disposal to destroy Obama in the fall.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com the Beast is now the biggest looooser in history... at least in her own mind she is and that's what counts.

her whole life was building up to this moment.

all those years of work, scheming, lying, thieving, bribery and corruption... all for naught.

it was hers for the taking and she blew it!!!

even her stolen FBI files were no help against some whelp out of nowhere... this clean, well spoken magic negro beat her at her own game, in spades.

she'll prolly be on suicide watch when this is over.

LOOK... it's TouristSenator!!!
It shows up in more places than TouristGuy,
only with less class, style and substance...
she's Vaporware, just an empty crusty.
(Please spread me around like the parasite that i am...)
