Yawn......

Electile Dysfunction

The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.

If you mean that it should be a direct involvement... well, then no politician ever was and never will be guilty of such thing as digging dirt.

Do you think Hillary will have a good public cry for herself (not for the country) again?

She staged it once, but the second time won’t work as well as it did in NH.

If so, I’ll have to puke. LOL!

“Mrs Clinton, who left South Carolina for a rally in Tennessee before the results had been formally declared”

Youd didn’t vote for me so I have no use for you! I leaving and gonna have a good cry after I curse out my staff!

It's not unusual for a candidate to leave the scene of the crime early after a humiliating defeat. In 2006, when it became obvious what a blood bath the elections were going to be, Denny Hastert split for his home state while Nancy Pelosi stayed in Washington. Anybody who was on FR that night remembers that we were holding out hope for some kind of miracle, but when Hastert took off before the polls closed anywhere, I knew the internal polling was disastrous.

A lot of people think the Clintons are playing this to make it a racial issue, as 90 percent of the black vote will go to Obama no matter what, and polarization will only push the white vote to Hillary. That would be the only reason campaigning in SC would make any sense. Hillary got a 55-27 whipping. I don't think Walter Mondale ever got that kind of @ss kicking, and he's gotten his @ss kicked more than a fat kid at a soccer game.

Mrs Clinton maintains poll leads in most of the 22 states set to vote on February 5.

this is what most people overlook. One Feb 6th Hillary will be in the lead and wont look back

The best case scenario would be for Obama to win more contested delegates, for The Evil One to petition for and get Florida delegates, and then for The Evil One to be pushed over the top by non-contested super delegates. Millions of Obama RATS and indies would be enraged by this and sit out the election.

I think after what they have seen a large number will sit it out

If blacks sit it out, that could have impact on state races and congressional races in swing districts.

Besides, Obama might be easier to win against in November.

Obama is a dreamer. And he will be unstoppable once his momentum & the MSM get in sync. He is John Lennon and the hoola hoop all rolled into one.

My only concern is who are his sponsors, you know, the machine that pulls the strings on the dreamer?

I have a REALLY dumb question: does the GOP also have superdelegates, or is this just a Dem scheme? Follow-up question: what is the purpose of superdelegates, anyway?
