Hillary Clinton's advisers 'in a state of panic'

That’s more or less what I’ve been saying. Obama’s the new guy among the two Dem frontrunners, and so it shouldn’t be surprising that he’s going to have better poll numbers than the one Republican frontrunner, a familiar face. But the weather can change quickly.

Great post, Dr. Kimball!

Mrs Clinton is planning to call on party grandees including Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives and Harry Reid, the party's leader in the Senate, to persuade Mr Obama to stand down.

Hillary had better think twice about that. She will be committing political suicide.

Does she really think Obama is going to listen to the 'party grandees'? I certainly hope not.

This just proves that she thinks she is owed this nomination!

sheesh, PA's primary in April may become vital (for once) to the final outcome.

“I was a registered Democrat for 7.5 minutes on January 8 so I could vote for Obama.

The Fall of the House of Clinton is very, very important to the nation - even if it takes Obama to do the deed.”

Good for you! See post number 72. It had me wondering for a second, but just a second!

Texas is an open primary state. Hmmm

There's been a lot of debate about whether to vote in the democrat or GOP primary. Is it better to vote in the democrat and vote for Obama, with a chance of knocking out Hillary! before she can ruin the country or vote for Obama because we have a better chance of winning in November? Of course, with McCain, does it really matter either way? I have no open contested races in my district so I'm free to vote either way.

LOL! Bookmarked.

Texas is an open primary state. Hmmm... Bwahahaha

If the Republican race is completely wrapped up then, all good conservatives need to vote for Obama. Painful though it may be, we need to vote for the next Jimmy Carter over the next Hugo Chavez. I'm not sure which one would be easier to beat in the general election, but we CAN NOT RISK a Hillary a presidency.

Well, I guess 'ol bill was actually just a BINO

Does that make Gore the Al BINO?

>> Texas is an open primary state. Hmmm... Bwahahaha

Yeah, and I’m an independent. No reason to vote in the RINO primary...

Like you said, BWAHAHAHAHA!

Hillary really got de-fanged when Chappaquiddick Teddy turned his bulbous backside toward her. That speaks (wide) volumes about how the Democrat heavyweights have turned their back on her and Bubba.

Man, when you're too CORRUPT for Ted Kennedy, you are REALLY CORRUPT!

Obama needs to start flying on commercial jets or post a 24/7 guard on his chartered plane.

That would just elect Obama's wife. Instead Hillary needs Bill to have an aviation accident to close the deal.

[Henchster]

All I know is I want Hillary out of the running as soon as possible and if Barrack Obama can deliver the death blow then so much the better.

I don’t belong to the school that wants Hillary to be there to run against John McCain. That’s letting her get too far. Get her out as soon as possible. She is the number one threat to America. She has a machine and will try to rule as a dictator. Obama could never pull this off even if he wanted to.

AMEN TO THAT! Defeat the beast ASAP!

Winning Texas and Ohio will not save her.

I know she's been polling ahead in Ohio but I don't have a good feel for how committed that vote is. My impression is that most Ohio 'rats are playing wait and see, and the state could go either way. Blacks play a big role here although not like some southern states.

[television is just wrong]

wait a minute. there is that huge Somalian settlement on welfare up there.

BTW-HAven’t seen Huma lately. wonder what happened to her?

Donna Brazile, an African American strategist, said last week: "If 795 of my colleagues decide this election, I will quit the Democratic Party."...kinda like "we're not going to let the white girl win it this time", eh Donna.......

[grey_whiskers]

If Perry is nominated as the VP that then touches on the rumors about the trans-Texas corridor and the rumors about the Amero, etc.

No, I'm *NOT* saying "I'll eat my tin-foil hat" because I don't have one.

But I will start watching developments a little more closely.

Cheers!

Remember, this was the President who was supposedly “for” the black people, who couldn’t find a single qualified cabinet nominee from the 90 percent of American blacks who are Democrats...well he did have Ron Brown as his Commerce Secretary, but Brown died in a plane crash with a bullet in his head shortly after telling Clinton he was going to have to talk to the feds about some of what he had seen going on in the administration (see "Ron Brown's Body" by Jack Cashill)......
