Well, we’re talking about if we should call this or that triple-bank combo shot, when in all likelyhood, we’re not gonna make either of them. This thing is going to play out like it plays out, and we’re going to take on the winner.

When Mrs. Clinton loses next week, I will be glad, count my blessings, and get on with the defeat of Obama.

On the off chance that Mrs. Clinton does not lose next week, I will be glad, count my blessings, and pop some popcorn to eat while I watch the train wreck.

I do want to say, however, that I think you are giving waaaaaay too much credit to Barack (Call Me Skippy) Obama. He is not the second coming of Lincoln, Douglas or Cicero. He is a hack Chicago pol that the MSM has decided they like slightly more than Mrs. Clinton, at this particular point in time. I don’t think he is going to be able to sustain this for the next eight months. Clinton, OTOH, has been politically unbeatable for 191 of the last 193 months, and there is no reason to think she could not be again, once the MSM has her back in the General Election.

Of course, I could be wrong. They don’t call us “The Stupid Party” for nuthin’!

Look, in SUBSTANCE, he’s not a Cicero or Lincoln.

But I’m just looking at the HOLD this guy seems to have. People ridiculed Hitler a great deal also, INCLUDING much of the content of his speeches. But Hitler knew how to tailor his speech to his audience, how to build the rhythm and structure of an oration, when to pull back emotionally and basically how to play the audience like an instrument.

Now, I don’t think Obama is THAT talented but when given the choice between the person who has been able to go from unheard-of Chicago hack to someone who might very well be President with almost no record or career to speak of, clearly he has some ability that maybe we could be underestimating.

I’ll take the semi-known quantity, someone who MAY, MAY still retain a fifth of a fifth of a percent of that ol’ Barry girl in her SOMEwhere over the dedicated leftist who has known nothing else in his life.

And sadly, I prefer the criminal Bill as First Dude over Michell Obama as First Lady.
