Superdelegates predict quick primary end

The prospect of nominating Obama seems to evoke a neurotic reaction from the superdelegates.

Indeed... Which begs the question, why?

It looks like Hillary is going to be President, thanks to Rush Limbaugh.

So, the Repblican candidate would have no responsibility?

Candidates, not talk show hosts, lose elections.

I think you may be right, unfortunately.
My opinion from the git-go was that Operation Chaos would let the PIAPS win the nomination. When you let an enemy survive after having them whipped, you are asking for trouble.

Rush has made a large error and will suffer huge consequences, I’m afraid.

Even if the Hildabeast concedes Wednesday it ain’t gonna be over. Bank on it.

Rubbish.

Post of the day!

Rubbish

If you will recall, it was Hillary's early crossovers to the Republican race that brought McCain out of the pack, thus ridding the RINOs of the conservatives. That was what gave the Obamanation his early mo. It has very nearly cost her the nomination but you have to give her credit for chutzpah.

Voting for a weak opponent is a morally despicable practice, one that may well cost us dearly.

The Nominatrix thought it would be over in February! Hubris will get you every time, Hilly.

I can venture a guess. Because he has the most liberal voting record in the Senate. Because he's already received the Kerry, Dukakis and McGovern endorsements. Because his ability to think on his feet is startlingly bad. Because the contrast between a veteran of six years in the Hanoi Hilton and a frail, chain-smoking objector who thinks Arabic is the principal language spoken in Afghanistan is too much for independent voters. And yet...he has one striking point in his favor, from their point of view: he's not Hillary.
