Hillary can only win with Rush Limbaugh’s endorsement.

Turns out he won in Texas too where it counts most, in the delegate count.

The Dalibama is of course an empty suit, but this article is the Clinton News Network back in full force. Obama has more delegates (those people required to win) and Hillary hardly has momentum. She won in Ohio, but barely hung onto Texas, where she had previously held a large lead in the polls.

If the rest of the primaries are anything but lopsided victories for Hillary, the Obomination will go into the convention with slightly more regular delegates.

Then Hillary will steal the convention, and it will be our responsibility to throw gasoline and oxygen on the black vote.

McCain should then pick a black VP and charge full force into inviting the black community to come the GOP, where they will be treated like regular people instead of welfare queens, with all of the responsibility and honor that go with regular citizenship.

“(Obama says he was unwise to associate with the man but said he, personally, did nothing illegal).”

Obama was too busy drinking ice tea with Al Gore to do anything illegal.

A black Republican on the ticket will not get the AlSharpton-JesseJackson-black vote. If the elite Democrat Super delegates run them over and make the White Queen their nominee black voters will stay home (after they burn down every major city hall in the country). The Republican ticket best not be messed with either.

"The growing American infatuation with Barack Obama had to pop eventually"

That's a little strong coming from CNN. After all, they were amongst the main peddler's of this "infatuation" which really only existed in their calculations and the superficiality of the average teen who disses their boyfriend/girlfriend on a weekly basis.

Anybody with a little brains knew that Obama was just a more "white" looking version of Jesse or Mandela.

“Obama has more delegates (those people required to win) and Hillary hardly has momentum. She won in Ohio, but barely hung onto Texas, where she had previously held a large lead in the polls.”

Exactly. But liberals don't care what people think They only care what people ‘should’ think, according to them. They want Hillary, and so they will spin to that effect. The real issue is why they want Hillary over Obama. The answer to that is sobering. They recognize that the Clintons are much more likely to push through liberal policies and alter the nation than is Obama. They see Obama as affable but not nearly as good at subterfuge and obfuscation. They want the Clintons in control for exactly the same reasons that make the Clintons dangerous and unethical. We would all do well to remember who they really are and what we are dealing with in reality.

More of that GOP non-racialism dreaming. I doubt very much most blacks want to give up their welfare ticket and become grownups. Why should they? Just so you can feel morally good about yourself and the GOP can still have one more term?

So it turns out that the infamous “Saturday Night Live” skit was just another Clinton Media machine attack.

That it was used to attack Obama for exactly what the media is doing for the corrupt clinton’s.

So perhaps the appropriate response is to recollect the list of all the RECENT incidents in the clinton’s life that show their moral turpitude, etc. and counter by asking the media to cover them.

I know there are lots of good lists out there already.

They just need to be stripped off the important but allegedly already ‘vetted’ stuff and gotten into the right hands - hands that the media has to cover.

Obama will be the VP. She's already hinting that. She has no other choice. He will definitely accept. He'd be a fool not to. His first act would be to turn his silver tongue on his adoring rabble and calm them down.

He may, but in reality he should do no such thing. As Martin Luther King once dreamed, people ought not to be judged by the color of their skin. Since we couldn't get the best man for the job of Republican presidential nominee, what McCain should do is pick the best person alive to be on the ticket with him. I don't think he will, however. Why would he choose a running mate who might overshadow his mediocrity and pandering-maverick credentials with the conservative bonafides Republicans might identify with more deeply? No, my guess is that he will select a yes-man liberal toady. Male, female, black, white, brown, whatever. But true conservatives need not apply.

You're probably correct. If he does though he will lose the election because he has to give conservatives something, otherwise he will lose.

He has already indicated that he has no intention of courting conservatives other than with token crumbs from his table. I think he’s probably counting on moderates, independents and non-loony Democrats to sweep him into office on their collective shoulders and will probably take every opportunity to thumb his nose at conservatism once he gets there.

” Turns out he won in Texas too where it counts most, in the delegate count.”

They also forget his streak was 12 not 11.........

The MSM is a tool that politicians use to stay in power, and destroy their opponents.

Politicians are a tool the MSM uses to stay in business.


What’s a little ‘inaccuracy’ between ‘friends’?

More like a Nascar race where two members of the same team keep trying to run each other into the wall.
