Re: Obama's Numbers [John Hood]

Rich, I'm told that a new Survey USA poll for a NC television station today will put Clinton within five points of Obama. So, yeah, assume a roomful of scaredy cats over at Obama HQ.

If you are right, I will gladly let you tell me “I told you so.”

But when was the last time the Clintons lost an important election?

“Imagine a reprise of 9/11, only about ten times as bad.”

Is that something we should relish? The first 9/11 was clearly the result of her husband’s presidency. We couldn’t endure another Clinton presidency.

Rush can’t just turn trends and mo on and off (even tho he thinks he can). He created mischief and it may well bite us all on the butt. The Clintons were sinking into the sunset but then Rush had to thrown them a lifeline. Maybe he’ll get an invite to jump on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom. I’m mad as hell at him. He is brilliant but can be such a child sometimes.
We should know that McCain will not take on Hillary full bore. He just won’t. With Sen. Obama, we won’t have to rely on McCain engaging because others will take care of Obama for him.

Nonsense.
It’s just starting to heat up now.
Obama isn’t going away.
He’s still in the lead.
He’s got the pledged delegates and the elected superdelegates on his side.
He’s got the left-wing and the liberal elites on his side.
He’s got the all important black vote on his side.
And most importantly, he’s got the money on his side.

He’s been wounded though, so he’s going to need to strike out at Hillary.
He’s going to want to change the subject.
He’s going to go an the attack, and he’ll start doing our work against Hillary for us.
Just wait for every Clinton scandal to get dragged out now.

Both of these losers are too deluded with their own self-importance to give up.
It looks like the Democrats are in for a long summer of their two candidates publicly duking it out for the superdelegates votes.

And remember, the way Democrats work is they naturally rally around their candidate when they are most vulnerable.
They will say Obama is being “swift-boated”.
So watch Obama’s popularity only going up within the Democrat party.

Can you imagine if this had all been happening after Obama had secured the nomination? We’d be on our way to victory right now. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are idiots in my book. They only care about what they care about, and to hell with the country.

There is no good reason to play with Hillary chances to become the nominee and go on to defeat McCain-—no good reason at all. Op Chaos remains a dumb and potentially dangerous idea. The dems would’ve fought tooth and claw no matter what support Rush extended to Hillary.

Good news!

I want the meanest SOB around to be sitting in the Oval Office. We have only two choices really, Hillary and McCain. If a gun was held to my head and I had to choose, it would be a jump ball.

Obama clearly is not acceptable under any circumstances. The last thing we need is another Jimmah Carter negotiating with terrorists.

Yes, you notice how Rush was quick to absolve himself of any blame if she wins? But he sure is quick to take credit for the extremely few times he’s been right, or claims to be right. What a weasel.

Ah, but you fail to see just how many layers there are to this onion...
Did Operation Chaos really save Hillary’s hide, or was she poised on a comeback which Rush has now discredited by convincing the media that it is a Republican hoax.
The superdelegates may look at all of Hillary’s wins from here on out with a jaundiced eye.
They may view her wins as legitimate and discount them.
And the irony is she may have actually earned those wins on her own, and Rush has undermined them.
The really brilliant thing about Operation Chaos is that it truly does introduce chaos.
The very integrity of the primary results are now in doubt.
The Democrats cannot have any confidence that the true will of their voters has been expressed.
And therein lies the true chaos of Operation Chaos.
No matter who gets nominated, there will be an asterisk by their name.

I don't know, you don't know, Rush doesn't know, Hillary doesn't even know.

Therefore my point: don't play with fire unless you know what you are doing.

Yes, the black vote will still overwhelmingly go to Clinton.

However, even if 5-7% of blacks sit this one out, it makes it very hard for Hillary to win Ohio, Missouri and Wisconsin.

Almost impossible.

If Hillary becomes the nominee, a majority of blacks are going to be outraged that Obama was robbed. Hillary can't win without their vote.

No matter Blacks stay home or vote, all the white trash, single, all ugly women and lesbos will make it up voting for the beast, the b*tch and the scumbag Slick will be in WH.

It's tough to get overly excited about a McCain Presidency. With that in mind, Obama is more likely to lose than is Hillary.

Absolutely.

Well no, but that’s just the point.
The legitimacy of Hillary’s burgeoning comeback is now tainted.

What could be better than Hillary being denied credit for her comeback which would have happened regardless of Rush?

When she goes to make her case at the convention, she’ll be shouted down for having won only because of Rush Limbaugh, and none of it will count.

Operation Chaos may actually be undermining Hillary’s comeback by making it appear tampered with.

"and he will happily accept it for the sake of party unity"

I disagree. Of course it's only speculation but even if I was a dim I wouldn't want to 1) be subject to being elbowed out of the way by x-42 every time there was a camera in the same zip code and 2) risk being splattered by the Clinton scandals that would be likely to pop up.

I don't think he has a political future but I suspect he thinks he does and thus he thinks he's way too young to get saddled with Clinton baggage.
