I agree. Obama promises pre-emptive surrender in Iraq, flaunting the fact that he will ignore what the generals recommend--and just tell them to plan a 'pullout'.

Hillary will put her finger into the wind (just like Slick did) on most issues and do whatever is politically expedient,,,,

and when it comes to being a far-left extremist, Obama (when compared to Hillary), is a CRUSADER (which makes him much more dangerous)!!!

Neither is acceptable. Obama is particularly unacceptable. He's far beyond Carter, because HIS associates are not merely incompetent boobs but racist, hate-America socialists. Look, if I had to choose between people like Robert Rubin and Lloyd Bentson, on one hand, and Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers on the other, the choice is clear. If there was one thing Bill Clinton learned it was that he had to keep the "f-ing bond traders" happy. And he did. You can say a lot about Clinton, but he did not destroy the economy.

He did not protect the country either; but Obama would deliberately destroy the economy AND expose the country to acts of terrorism.

So, you always go after the front runner, and worry about the second-place guy next.

Operation Chaos is working!

It actually is; you couldn't ask for a better situation: Obama gaining superdelegates while Hillary gains in popular support.

I've done an analysis on the remaining primaries and current trends. If Obama narrowly wins North Carolina (52%), Oregon (55%), Montana (55%) and South Dakota (55%) and Hillary wins Guam (60%), Indiana (58%), West Virginia (61%), Kentucky (59%) and Puerto Rico (61%), she is still going to end up with about 95 delegates less than Obama, but she will be about 70,000 popular votes ahead, counting both primary and caucus, but not counting Michigan and Florida, which would broaden her margin.

Accordingly, she is going to go to the convention with a strong argument to take the nomination despite trailing in delegates. I will e-mail my Excel spreadsheet to anybody who freepmails me with a request and a valid e-mail address.

Something my dad told me seems to be appropriate.

In any election in which you have the chance to vote, do so. Too many men have died to provide you with that right.
You may not have anyone you really want to vote for, but you will always have someone you wish to vote against.

That’s right. There’s no difference between the R party of the 80s and the R party or today. Sure. That’s right. Yes sir.

(I guess you’re just too young to remember.)

the all-important party superdelegates -- whose backing is now essential for the nomination -- were falling increasingly in line behind Barack Obama
Battlestar Chaotica!
