The numbers don’t lie. Obama has the lead and cannot be caught.

You might want to read this so you understand what is going on instead of being so panicked about Operation Chaos.

I think Clinton's plan is to hope that Obama's numbers in the polls collapse enough by the convention to make it look like he can't win, and the Reverend Wright controversy suggests that it might not be entirely unreasonable to think that might happen.
To: Puzzleman
It did look like a horse race. Especially when one examines the countenance of one of the horses.
The thing about this agonizingly long race was it gave even the unwashed, tatooed and pierced American the chance to lose his lunch.
In the case of traditionally thoughtful Americans: the same result, plus the unpleasant thoughts that if this is the best that can be regurged up by a 'major' political party, we're in deepest trouble.
After examining the three candidates and what the Democraps have done to the nation during their brief majority rule in Congress, anyone with a functioning brain should conclude that given the White House we'd be much closer to third world status than we are presently.

Hillary’s sole goal now is to make sure that Obama doesn’t win outright with voted delegates. She wants the VP slot. Operation Chaos will give her the leverage to do it.

Here’s the only scenario. Obama does or says something really really stupid. Bad enough that the super delegates decide he can’t be the nominee. That’s why she’s still in the game though. She knows he’s a neophyte prone to beginner mistakes.

This is hardly news. The fact Shrillery has no chance to legitimately win the nomination has been mentioned again and again. I have seen it discussed on the B Hume show on several occasions in just this way.
The only way the Beast gets the nomination is to steal it and she does that at her and the Party
s great peril.

It is interesting that, for the first time, Hillary is right about something: Obama can’t seem to close the deal... But then again, she can’t close the deal either. With all the news that’s come out and the vulnerability Obama is showing, you would think that the superdelegates would be turning her way... Just the opposite. And that MUST reflect how truly hated the Clintons now are among the Dem “leadership”. They probably despise Bubba more than Hillary, but on this score, “two for the price of one!” This truly has been delicious.

I'm still saying she will take the nomination and subsequently be elected.

Many of the super-delegates owe Bill/Hillary Clinton. He/she has the FBI files that contain information these Super-delegates don’t want out. Need I say more.

RUSH: Why are any of you afraid of this ditz?
RUSH:...Let me play for you what I thought was the most interesting aspect of the interview last night. Those of you watched it may disagree, but it is this exchange that they had about oil prices. O'Reilly said, "Oil prices. You want us to suspend the federal gas tax. So does McCain. Obama doesn't. But when I hear that, I say, 'It's the same old politician stuff because the Democrat Party was opposed, is opposed to ANWR drilling.' You voted against nuclear energy seven times. And I'm saying to myself, 'Both parties, both parties have sold the folks out on energy, when the folks are getting hammered and they should be angry at both parties.' Where am I going wrong?"
HILLARY: Well, here's what I think. I think there's plenty of blame to go around. We're not acting like Americans, Bill. We're not in charge, and I want to put us back in charge. I also want to take on OPEC. You know, OPEC is a cartel, it's a monopoly.
O'REILLY: You want to take them on?
HILLARY: Yes.
O'REILLY: They don't care what you say. They're in Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
HILLARY: Nine of the 13 biggest oil producing companies that are in OPEC are also members of the WTO. I would file complaints. I would also change the laws so that citizens and businesses could file anti-trust actions. We're going to begin to hold them accountable.
RUSH: What the hell is she talking about? Why are any of you afraid of this ditz? Did you just hear what she said her plan of action is to bring down oil prices? Lawsuits! Against bin al-Weid Taliban Asheed Sahib Skyhook. Do you know what bin Talawad Kalabi Asid Sahib Skyhook is going to do when he sees Mrs. Clinton's lawsuit at the World Trade Organization? He's going to make a paper airplane out of it and send it back over here on one of his Airbus A380s. This is how they want to fight terrorism: with lawsuits! OPEC is not a monopoly. There are many oil producing companies that are not part of OPEC. This is incompetence on parade.

Maryland Democratic Party Vice Chairman Lauren Glover is fielding calls from Sen. Barack Obama. Jim Leaman, executive director of the Virginia AFL-CIO, is being inundated with personal letters and e-mails from supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. And D.C. Council member Harry Thomas Jr. just wants be left alone. Pressure is mounting on the 67 Democratic superdelegates from the District, Maryland and Virginia to choose between Obama and Clinton in the most heated presidential nomination fight in a generation. With neither Clinton nor Obama likely to win enough pledged delegates to secure the nomination, the 793 superdelegates nationwide will have...

Polls showed voters drifting toward Hillary Rodham Clinton before crucial Democratic primary votes next week, but the all-important party superdelegates -- whose backing is now essential for the nomination -- were falling increasingly in line behind Barack Obama. Despite the momentum building behind Clinton after her win in Pennsylvania, it still appeared mathematically impossible for her to overcome Obama's delegate lead for the party nomination. In the past two months, Obama has whittled Clinton's superdelegate lead by half, a...

Despite the recent show of strength by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., the odds against_her_winning the Democratic presidential nomination are as imposing as ever--and probably worse. There was a time when one of the stronger arguments in favor of nominating Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was that he was more electable than Clinton. The thinking at the time was that Clinton was so polarizing, she could get close to winning a general election but would have difficulty getting over the top. Now, about the only plausible argument that Obama is more electable is to claim that Clinton's backers would probably get_over...

RUSH: You superdelegates in the Democrat Party, you're worried about denying Obama the nomination because you fear that your black voters will abandon you permanently? Come, come! Review your history with me once again. You Democrats have already done far worse to black voters than yanking the nomination away from Barack Obama. Have no fear, superdelegates. Be confident. Blacks will stay with you. So will Jesse Jackson, so will Al Sharpton

Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) sharp denunciation of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright this week has superdelegates moving in his direction. While the reverend's controversial remarks and his widely panned appearance at the National Press Club caused many pundits to wonder if superdelegates would be frozen into indecision, those who moved into Obama's column this week cited the Illinois senator's reaction as one of their reasons for backing him. Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Joe Andrew was perhaps the biggest jewel of the week for Obama. Until Thursday, Andrew had supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). He was appointed DNC chairman...

Hillary Rodham Clinton was jolted Thursday by the defection of one of her longtime superdelegate supporters, a former national party chairman who urged fellow Democrats to "reject the old negative politics" and unify behind Barack Obama. "A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote to continue" a long, self-destructive Democratic campaign, Joe Andrew added in a letter designed to have an impact on the turbulent race nationally as well as in his home state of Indiana, site of a primary next week. "A vote to continue this process is a vote that assists John McCain," Andrew wrote. (Mr. Andrew agrees...

The Democratic Party is not democratic. It has devised a system of nominating a presidential candidate that is elitist and will result in patronage. It is abundantly clear that the party that claims to trace its roots to Thomas Jefferson is deluding itself and the American public. We have witnessed a three-month period of hard-fought primaries or caucuses in which the people in 42 states and four territories have voted to select the delegates who presumably will nominate the Democratic presidential candidate. But it is all a ruse. Democracy has gone out the window because of the elitist policy of...
