Not a Democrat, not a Hillary supporter, but I got to say, I was really rooting for Clinton on this one and she pulled the rabbit out so congratulations Hillary Clinton. She won Ohio, and she’s going to win Texas as far the projections are.
And I say, “good”.
Of course, the “strategery” part of me is the idea that McCain has a better shot against Hillary who I do not think can win a General, then Johnny would have against perhaps an Obama – but the real reason, the truth is, I really don’t like Obama and I really, really, don’t like his wife who I think is a radical and she just is uppity against our Nation. She strikes me as the worst kind of “boss lady” one could ever imagine working for.
Just take Obama’s last name, put it on a bumper sticker, but “change” the “O” in his name to a Hammer and Sickle. And there’s the change that Obama and his Rad Girl friend is about.
Sure, Hillary is a Socialist. Obama is a Communist. So there. I said it. Go Hillary, you go girl.
Maybe. But, in five minutes the rally around Mrs. Clinton will begin with the MSM leading the charge.
No worries. Only Republicans stay home to protest, Dimms will rally around her and the MSM will use the months ahead to rehabilitate her.
We will now face a formidable candidate and political machine instead of an empty suit.
I fail to see how a swing of 27 delegates does that much to help her, other than to stop the bleeding of 12 straight defeats. (She lagged behind by 5 more after VT, and gained only 15 in OH, 9 in TX, and 8 in OH.) The MSM is making more of yesterday’s results than the math is showing.
Two big states are now off the list, and she’s still behind by 87 overall (according to CNN at the moment, it’s 1451-1365) and by 120 non-superdelegates. For the moment, she also doesn’t have MI or FL to help bridge that gap (although the Clintons, as usual, are trying to subvert the declared election process, for their personal gain... Jersey redux).
The remaining Dem states (OR, MT, WY, SD, IN, KY, PA, MS, NC) are almost all GOP-leaning states, and none have nearly as many delegates as were in play yesterday. Hillary has only done well in large and far-left states. There are none of those left... and she’s behind.
Even of the superdelegates (the Dem party machine hacks and one of Hillary’s supposed stongholds), 432 of 796 have been declared. Only 368 of them are left. If they break as they have so far (238 to 194, or 55-45%), then Hillary only gains another 38 votes (203-165)... also not enough to bridge the current gap. She’d need a 228-140 split (a huge 62-38%) just to even out the current deficit... and again, I see the gap growing in the remaining states, since OR is the only somewhat-solid Left-leaning state remaining.
PA and TX (TX has both a caucus and a primary, only one of which was done yesterday) will be her last stands... unless she can force a vast majority of the super-delegates (possibly) to break her way, or if the corruption machine can bring back MI and FL (although I don’t see Muslim Dearborn or urban Detroit going for Hillary... how will she get FL in but not MI? THAT will be one legal gyration to watch!)
Can anyone find or make a red-blue map of the US with Hillary and Obama’s current results on it?
Anyway, I found the map... CNN's "assign the remaining delegates game", here: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/29/delegate.counter/index.html
For the past 16 years, whenever I thought of Hillary Clinton, I thought of her in extremely negative terms.
Last night I was actually cheering for her.
In recent days, fear of Obamamania has gripped me.
I still hate Hillary, but like watching two monsters fight in an old-style Japanese Godzilla flick, I want to see a lot of blood on both sides. A lot of blood.
The thought of Saint Obama gliding to a seat on Mount Olympus was just too horrible to endure.
I never thought I’d say this, but: Thank you, Hillary.
I was extremely sarcastic in my post. I totally agree with you.
LOL... I was just trying to add somemore!
The stupidity of aiding HRC when she was clearly going down for the count is mind-boggling. Our party has lost its collective marbles... and will get eight more years of Bubba & Co. for their moronic strategery.
The media chose McCain for us by running down all the other candidates or in the case of Hunter, just ignoring him.
I don’t think the Clinton's have lost an election since the early 80’s and somehow the GOP has now figured out there game plan?!?!?
BS
Independents and evangelicals teamed up to give us McCain... while conservatives wrung their hands in lamenting the absence of Reagan.
And no party players had the cojones to ask Huckabee to step aside.
Think about it, whether they would have made it on their own, he effectively sucked the blood out of the Romney and Thompson Campaigns.
From a historical perspective we may end up disliking that goober more than McCain, think about it.....
Hillary also is a criminal.
I am finding it real hard imagining voting for McCain in Nov. The image of Hillary being sworn in on Jan 09 is making me start to reconsider.
This will backfire on the GOP come November I’m afraid.
I think that Michelle Obama is "putting on or marked by airs of superiority" in the context of discussing our nation. Live with that great arbiter of taste.
Where you been? Obama is (still) ahead in the delegate count. Plus, the rats themselves are wringing their hands over a dirty civil war:
Uncle Obama’s pancake mix has been recalled. Salmonella.
