Some 50 delegates were reportedly poised to unite behind Barack Obama if he had won by even 1 point in Texas. He lost the popular vote by 100,000 ballots, and now we learn that 100,000 Republicans voted for Hillary Clinton,

I was not one of them. In order to be a delegate to the county and state Repulibcan conventions, it is necessary to vote in the Republican primary and attend the Republican precinct caucus on election night. I have a good chance of getting a spot at the state Republican convention in June in Houston.

Not in it’s current form.

I doubt his values are for a republic.

"We're not there yet," Ornstein explained. "He would have to be bloodied far beyond where he is now"

Obviously, Dims have a much higher tolerance of racism within their own party.

Eleanor Clift is a true feminazi. That means her heart belongs to Hillary. Eleanor is trying to get off the Obama bandwagon without getting hurt and it has slowed down quite a bit.

By most accounts, Obama did a masterful job aligning the promise of his candidacy with the grievances expressed by both blacks and whites, noting in particular how the anger of working-class whites over affirmative action and welfare formed the Reagan coalition.

By which Elanor means, "in the opinion of most of the liberals I talk to Barak was a cross between Martin Luther King and JFK, and explained how Reagan's success was due to demagoguery and white hatred of black people".

"Obama should enjoy the respite. It won't last long."

Endora Clift will soon be calling his middle name Derwood or Dagwood

All Kidding aside it was pure folly to have voted for Clinton in the Texas primaries, She could have been put away for good,and these new revelations about Obama would have taken care of him.Don't be mistaken, Clinton would have worked overtime to torpedo Obama's campaign should she have lost.

You can hear the desperation in dear Eleanor’s voice. Her whole world is crumbling down around her. Why, they were going to bury those silly conservatives forever. FOREVER, I say. And now this. What’s a looney leftie to do?

The Republicans made John Kerry French; imagine what they can do with Obama.

What? If John Kerry had a single "regular American guy" bone in his body, no amount of Republican character smear tactics could have succeeded in turning him French. Kerry was a lousy candidate, propped up by the MSM.

Obama said at one time that the $56 Billion spent on the Katrina disaster was a “pittance”. I guess until all of the minorities in New Orleans get a new home, fully furnished of course, a new Caddy, and full college scholarships for all of their present and future offspring, then it may be enough, but I doubt that.

now we learn that 100,000 Republicans voted for Hillary Clinton, probably not because of some change in party allegiance but because they thought she would be the easier candidate to beat

Or then again, us Texans despised OBama more than Hitlary, and btw it has nothing to do with his color. Just to set the record straight (since Newsweek didn't bother getting it facts), in Texas one can only vote a straight ticket in the primary so if Republicans voted the Democrat ticket they were unable to vote for any of their local candidates, which defeats the purpose of throwing votes to Hillary (which I dearly wanted to do but couldn't).

Is he American enough?

America is a mixed salad bowl so he might be American somewhat but he's far too African for me (and before anyone gets their knickers in a bunch that's Africa the country, not racially).

Obama won't be French...
 
Obama: Man of the World
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: March 6, 2007

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

I haven't done the math, but I imagine you could do that for 56 billion. At least, anyone but the Federal Government could.
