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.
Ashtrays will fill the air tonight.
Tyson chicken? Walmart? Whitewater?
Um. Yay?
Mixed feelings to be sure. On the one hand, ding dong the bitch is defeated, and that feels good. On the other hand, ol’ Gringo Viejo McCain is going to have a tough time beating Mr. Feelgood Hussein Osamabama.
JMO, McCain might be Hillary. He’ll never beat Obama.
The William J. Clinton Porn Library?
Hillary will be the nominee even if she has to accept second spot on an Obama ticket. There is always Ft. Marcy Park.
He may be even worse.
"If you're older than 30, stay out of politics and stick to your flawed nostalgia. Your generation has done enough damage to this country."

Electric Light Orchestra - It’S Over Lyrics
Summer came and passed away,
hardly seemed to last a day
but it’s over and what can I do?
Music playin’ in the air,
silence on a darkened stair
‘cos it’s over and what can I do?
It’s over, it’s over, all over,
it’s all over now
and the way you looked don’t even mean I’m down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.
Feelin’ down, down, down,
it’s all over.
Feelin’ down, down, down.
Baby, baby, it’s all gone,
rolled out to sea.
Lookin’ over sunny days,
searchin’ for the righteous wave
‘cos it’s over and what can I do?
Lookin’ from this distant shore
you ain’t sailin’ by no more
‘cos it’s over and what can I do?
It’s over, it’s over, all over,
it’s all over now
and the way you looked don’t even mean I’m down.
When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye
there is nothing much to speak of.
Feelin’ down, down, down,
it’s all over.
Feellin’ down, down, down.
Ah, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over,
it’s all over and what can I do?
Ah, it’s over, it’s over,
it’s all over.
Oh, it’s over, it’s over.
Don’t shed a tear for me, it’s over,
don’t shed a tear although it’s over.
Hillery; Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most electable of all?
Mirror: Obama
CRASH!
And I don't know which is worse.
Look at the banner on the wall “Hillary Loves (heart) Children”. Is there a more pathetic banner than that? How desperate is someone to write a banner like this? Who does not love children?!
Actually the latest polls show the following 9with my commentary for what it’s worth):
Obama with a 5-7 point lead in Wisconsin. Hillary is leaving Wisconsin which tells me her polls indicates she cannot win the state. Hillary has a history of fleeing the states she cannot win.
Texas is a dead heat with ALL the momentum on Obama’s side.
Although Hillary has a double digit lead Ohio will tighten before March 4th.
Folks, she HAS to win Wisconsin, Ohio and Texas big in order to truly compete for the nomination and as of this moment she may not win Wisconsin or Texas. Hillary’s campaign may say she will continue on to the convention but I have a hunch that donors and party leaders may shut her down long before the convention.
These idiots have no idea hoe good life is now
A wiser man said to never discuss politics with anyone under 30. Can’t remember who it was though.
