Munger believes Obama, unfairly, now faces serious questions about his electability.
Unfairly?

What does "unfairly" mean in terms of electability?

Electability is a purely mathematical estimation of whether or not the number of supporters out there is large enough to enable victory at the polls.

To say someone is "unelectable", or to question someones "electability" has nothing to do with fairness, unless you believe that the universe someowe owes someone an elected job.

If I question someone's electability, I might be wrong -- in the sense that I'm misjudging the actual numbers out there in the electorate-- but it's impossible for me to be unfair.

Clinton’s going to win the nomination. The “superdelegates” have got to be very worried at this point about Osama’s gaffs. I predict they will give Clinton the nomination and use her uncounted “wins” in MI and FL as political cover.
If you really believe that, you've got a tremendous opportunity over at https://www.intrade.com/# where $100 wager will return you $500 when she's nominated. Go for it.

I personally wouldn't touch that bet with a 10-foot pole. I think the true odds are more like 20-1 against her.

(Though I personally wouldn't bet the other side because I'm not a big fan of laying odds, as opposed to taking odds.)

They open with video of his wife, Michelle, saying she was proud of America "for the first time in my adult lifetime" because of her husband's presidential candidacy. Cut to the Illinois Senator explaining that he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin because it is a "substitute for true patriotism." Then flash a clip of Obama explaining that his Caucasian grandmother was a "typical white person" because she uttered racial epithets and was afraid of black people. Finally, the coup de grace, pictures of Obama's angry, arm-waving preacher blaming the United States for 9/11 and shouting "God Damn America" to the rafters of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

GOP hasn't the gonads to run that type ad

They also have to be worried about losing the black vote in Nov--without it the dems lose even in the SENATE races

The supers are between a rock and a hard place

Bet they throw out Hillary in favor of the black vote

Nice try Mr. Alberts.

The Marxist hillary has the sign “racist” permanently affixed to her forehead with a railroad spike. The inner city voter fraud machine will be closed to racist hillary on election day.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a number precinct captains in places like Detroit or Cleveland come forward to “confess” and expose hillary’s voter fraud network.

On that note, I’m wondering who controls the vote fraud machine in Philly. If it’s the state party, Rendell is a big Hillary supporter. If it’s the locals, I’ve got to think they’re big Obama supporters.

His partiotism, like Kerry’s is unquestionable; put simply, each is an anti-American marxist with no patriotism at all.

That is the 64 $ question

Fast Eddy tries to steal the black vote there will be hell to pay

Going to be real interesting

If the blacks turnout 11% like they normally do I doubt there will be enough white Hillary vote in the state

Polls don't take into account the 110% black city vote

Yay! The actual quote. Usually the media attempts to dishonestly claim Obama said for the first time she was “really proud” of her country.

As I recall the story, she gave two speeches which contained that line. She added the word really in the second speech. It definitely wasn't in the first one.

McCain doesn’t have the balls to attack the Obomination like that. He’s still playing soft ball with the liberals thinking they’ll vote for him. He’s an idiot.

Quislings are even more enthusiastic about Obama than about Hillary.

Quislings embedded in the U.S. Government, especially the State Department, CIA and other career bureaucracies serving career politicians may be smart and even brilliant, just like their namesake Vidkun Quisling.

However, just like Quisling, their greatly overestimate their own importance and the admiration that they think their underlings have for them.

To some, they are mere opportunists. To most, they are mere tools to advance the careers of the next generation of opportunists.

If public service was really treated as an opportunity to serve rather than a lifetime entitlement to live as a member of the ruling class, then a plan such as this to give the public sector the same sense of shared fate as the private sector rather than to further empower a gated community in a parallel universe would be given serious consideration.

Obama: In your heart, you know he's Wright.
