Here’s my proposal. If Obama loses Texas to McCan’t in the general, I will never post here again. In exchange, you’ll promise to do the same if McCan’t loses Texas. Deal?

She still thinks it is about her while it is her husband who is running for re-election (even though he constitutionally cannot serve again, he has said he will sit in on cabinet meetings and is already making campaign promises to voters if HE “is re-elected”).

How far HAS Hillary come? Nowhere. How far has Mrs. Bill Clinton come? A few votes shy of Party nominee.

Heh, I think they pretended that didn’t happen.

It is the liberal news media after all.

Good question!

If it was my job to set up primaries, the party faithful would vote on the candidates and independents could sit it out until the general election. Unfortunately, that is not the hand we were dealt.

Given that democrats and independents helped McCain, why should we be shy about helping to pick our democrat opponent.

I have a hunch clinton will win texas in the end. it’s the perfect story, like NH.
but if she does lose she’ll blame the republicans for sabotage and make the case to the delegates that primary voters picked the most unelectable candidate.

Because the story from MSDNC is a pack of lies ,this cable station is so in the bag for Obama its a 527 by now.
This entire PR piece was faxed by Obama media left wing guru Axelrod to there fellow Obama. Its called a whisper campaign which is Axelrod’s specialty.

Yep. And this is the possible first woman president. How proud women must be (that’s sarcasm, and I’m a woman).

I still think she could pull this nom off. Just ticks me off she’s now running on the “I’m a woman, the first woman to get this far” when most women don’t see her for what she is. She’s a disgrace to any intelligent female or male.

Don’t make stupid bets. I agree with you that Obama will be very tough to beat, but so much can change between now and November. Not worth giving up FR over.

We don't like the Clintons.

Wouldn't we rather hitlery won the dim nomination since she's sure to lose the general election?

Pure Nonsense, McCain is polling 10 points ahead of Obama through out the south . Check out the Ramussen and
Battleground polls.
People are not fooled by a radical black socialist.
I realize the fact a repub may win the WH is upsetting to you for some reason.But please go back to you McCain hate rant.

why would this tactic be difficult to understand?

I thought FReepers considered hitlery to be unelectable for POTUS and that we wanted her to win the dim nomination.

Perhaps, but as another poster wrote, best to put the stake into Hillary’s heart now.

Have you ever read anything about OBama's radical agenda ?
He is far worse than Comrade Hillary.
The guy was on the Democratic Socialist party ticket in Chicago !

Exactly.

And any crossover votes by repubs in the primary won’t translate to the general.

Want to share my beer while watching what happens come November? :)

I joke about this stuff but I’m seriously concerned where this country is heading.

Here’s a related article on similar results in Georgia. Crossovers killed Hillary there.

I’m not sure she’s easier to beat in the general.

Personally, I think McCAin will lose v. hillary or obama if conservatives stay home. I look at the 3 of them and see very little difference, no trust in any of them, yet there is a slight difference so I’ll vote my conscience come November. But, come the general, if it’s McCain v hillary or obama, I may vote for McCain. Not sure yet.

At this point, I want our military protected but think we have to have a conservative congress for that to happen regardless of who is POTUS. I can’t stand McCain and it kills me to even consider voting for him. I can’t vote for hillary or obama either. And the latter two are worse, imo.

"It’ll be easier to take out Obama in the general? Get the wicked witch out of the race as FAST as possible?"

Oh Really? Pray tell, how are we going to accomplish that?

Do you and everyone else who is advocating this (including those who intend on voting for B. Hussein) believe that the Conservative Base is going to be mobilized toward voting AGAINST Obama, much like we did in 04 against Kerry?

As much as I dislike Osama's (oops, Obama's) policies, there is no visceral dislike/hatred such as that against Hitlery, and yes, I'm one of those who does hate the B*tch!

That said, I'm going to vote for her on March 4th.

Have you not noticed what has been happening during this campaign?

Obama says you can't make remarks about his ears. Done

Obama says he does not appreciate being referred to as a Liberal. Done

Obama says he does like anyone using his middle name. Done

It won't be long and he'll say he does not like anyone criticizing ANYTHING whatsoever about his "policies" and "positions," and guess what? Done.

Can anyone believe that if he is taken to task about his ideas and positions (much less attacked) that those doing so will be called bigots and racist?

Look how the RNC and McPain are falling all over themselves to insure Obama's "sensitivities" are not offended.

THIS GUY REALLY SCARES ME---even more than the HildaBeast.
