I'd be happy to be wrong. For a variety of reasons, I'd prefer Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic presidential nominee.But it's not going to happen. She'll be clobbered in Wisconsin tomorrow. She might run ahead, even win, the popular vote in Texas, but the delegate count will be close, probably pro-Obama. The media talk, the popular mood, the times -- they all work for Obama.
Finally, there's been the Clinton campaign. Fighting, seriously, today about Obama's borrowing of rhetoric from a friend is a sign of desperation. Obama is derivative. So is everyone. And Bill Clinton -- who knew? -- has proved to be a negative.
The media megaphone can't be underestimated.
Some of it is crazy. Some of it unfair. So is life.
Obama will win the nomination. Polls today say he'll beat McCain everywhere -- in every key state and nationally. Those same polls said the same thing about Hillary Clinton's sure dominance a few months ago.
For the record.
post 41, LOL! Great!
Bump, roamer! :-)
Why is that? Nary a negative word has been said about this empty suited leftist, and yet he has no more than a 5 point lead, if that much.
Hillary would lose close, i think, but Obam is going to collapse like an accordian. Empty,empty,empty.
Ed Rendell, the Gov. of PA is a FOB (Friend of Billary). Ain’t no way Fast Eddie (who has goals and asprirations beyong the Keystone State) is not going to deliver PA for Hillary. No way. Not with the ‘machines’ in place in Philly and (to a lesser extent) Pittsburgh. PA goes Clinton.
I am guessing the FBI file info is pretty stale by now. Hasn’t it been 14 years? Some of it might still be powerful, but also do consider how many democrats don’t seem to be especially bothered or harmed politically by embarrassing or incriminating information.
She turns off more people than McCain.
And with all respect, you need to read up more on Obama. He’s worse than her. He will be more effective getting an agenda through than her.
Doesn’t matter, they’ve already investigated the people they felt they needed to investigate. This is one of the things Hillary is extremely good at - being able to get dirt on other people. Don’t underestimate her. Remember the trail of dead bodies from Arkansas to Fort Marcy Park. I mean for God’s sake she had her lover Vince Foster rubbed out. She’s an ice-cold b1tch.
You've never been to Duval County, Texas or New Orleans, have you? I agree with your major point, though.
Brian Williams hosted that episode and joked in the skit you mentioned how the media was doing all it could for Hillary. How things have changed, indeed.
And I’m going for Obama because I want the Beast slain as early as possible. If you put a hockey mask on the Clintons they could do a horror movie series. NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY has survived the number of scandals these people have. I’ll deal with Obama later, but dude, if you think you want to see a Clinton in the general election, you have no clue how nasty they will get. You think it’s a coincidence that three weeks after the Kennedys endorse Obama that JFK’s love child pops up? You think it’s a coincidence that shortly after Obama takes the delegate lead a guy pops up claiming to have smoked dope with him and had him biting pillows in 1999? And remember, the press won’t cover for McCain like they have for Obama. The press is banging the Clintons now, but if Hillary is the nominee, they’ll be pedal to the metal for her. Kill her before she rises from the grave, dude. I’m begging you.
Absolutely right. Well said.
I never underestimate Hillary, but it has taken an awful lot of press cooperation for the two of them to function successfully up to now. Now they are not getting it, and I really think they are shellshocked (gives me goosebumps just thinking about it). They also didn’t expect to meet a competitor who can up the “disadvantaged minority” game on them with ease. And Madame Hillary just ISN’T BILL. An awful lot of people have had to play along for them to get away with the evil things they have done. Those same people are pulling away from Bill and Hill and moving toward Obama. Of course, they have the dirt on lots of people, but so do a lot of other politicians. That’s just not that uncommon nowadays. To repeat, I do NOT underestimate the Clintons, but I think history has just passed them by, and all of the people they have pushed aside to get where they are, and who had to grin and bear it, are deserting the evil pair for the seemingly fresh face of the new kid on the block. Democrats tend to be lemmings so once the rush is on over to Obama’s side, it’s pretty hard to reverse. If Wisconsin goes Obama, and Hillary does not do very, very well in Texas, I think it is over for Bill and Hill. Ashtrays will fly.
When will they put Hillary under suicide watch?
Look there is no question both are enemies. But the fact you don’t realize which one is more deadly. Everyone knows how deadly Hitlery is. Obama appears likeable and friendly and has this aura about him. He’ll be wearing that nice smile as he guts you. He’s the real one to watch out for. The fact you can’t tell which one is more dangerous is proof to me that he is clearly the underestimated, and therefore more dangerous, candidate.
The delegate lead will be meaningless if it isn’t large. The Super Delegates will look to see who has the most momentum going into convention.
Who gets the MVP award? The one who tore up the league before the Allstar break? Or After.
Barry may have peaked too soon.
Sure she does; so much so that she only had time for one.
As a devoted, experienced mother (ha!), she arrogantly believes she is some kind of authority on rearing children.
"It Takes A Village".
The title itself is autocratic. IMO, what they've taught their daughter through their own outrageous behavior and total lack of shame is diagraceful and pathetic.
She's gotten as far as she has because she's Bill's wife. She wouldn't be a N.Y. senator without his help. (Remember those pardons, for one?).
I can't recall any other presidential wannabe who leaned on his spouse's popularity. If she were not Bill's wife, no one would even know her name.
Therefore, it is a waste of time and effort for PA Republicans to vote.
