Schneider: The electability argument falls flat ("Cankles" Clinton is headed o-u-t OUT, baybeeeee!)
CNN Political Ticker ^ | 05/06/2008 | Bill Schneider

(CNN) — The core of Hillary Clinton’s argument to superdelegates has been her electability – that she is the candidate most likely to beat presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in November. But according to exit polls, voters don’t share that view.

In Indiana, Democratic primary voters were equally split over who was most likely to beat McCain, with both drawing 48 percent. And in North Carolina, voters gave the edge to Barack Obama: 54 percent thought he was more likely to win in November, while 40 percent [...]

"A magic negro muslim or a GLBT,"

And unfortunately, when they are not campaigning against each other their positions are identical. When it comes to how they'd govern it's tweedledum and tweedledumer.

I still hold out hope that something will happen to McCain and we get a do-over at our convention.

It could happen.

The bad news: Obama will likely become the next president of the United States....and show Carter how wrecking the economy is really done.

I have told my children with great authority that the worst President in my lifetime was Jimmy Carter.

We cannot inflict such a repeat on the next generation.

MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT.

"Just imagine Wright, Black Panthers, Hamas, and Ayers sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom."

Just imagine if Ward Churchill's brightest pupil decided to become President and figured out a way to bamboozle America long enough to do so.

Maybe he'll turn out to be another invisble "remember who I am, I'm the President, I do exist!" president like Ford.

As stated earlier, in this very thread: folks hereabouts have been Guilty And Then Some of virtually criminal underestimation of Barack Obama, and the very real electoral threat he poses, practically since the first 'rat primaries/caucuses in New Hampshire, etc.

Is he scum...? Yes. Is he a dangerous, wild-eyed socialist radical? Absolutely. Is he (potentially) an infinitely cannier, more capable political "natural" than either Bill or Cankles ever DREAMED of being...? You damned BETCHA!

His organization has now signed up, by rough estimate, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5 M-I-L-L-I-O-N brand, spanking new voters over the past half year or so -- all of 'em fanatically sworn and devoted to their gleaming, fairy tale Obamessiah.

As some other 'Rat politician put it, just the other day, upon hearing that for the first time (don't remember if it was Fat Teddy, or not; I think maybe it was Fat Teddy): "That's not a 'voting base'; that's a political PARTY."

MEGA-ugly, come November. Bookmark it, by all means.

McStain will not close the border. In my estimation, not holding the responsibility when the next mass death from muslim terrorists occurs is more important even than judicial nominations (where he would also submit leftists).

I believe it is quite possible the next attack will ignite a civil war. If it happens, let it be connected to the donkeys.

Not that there is any chance I would vote for a liberal regardless of the letter preceding the name.

Clinton is going nowhere, she is a US Senator.

Zaaackley! She simply moves from center stage to stage left. She stays in the picture frame until she loses her Senate seat.

I think he’ll suffer a loss as bad as McGovern’s.

Yep. My belief that Hillary would be much easier to beat has little to do with my plans for November.

Additional little "FYI" squib showing up on Drudge, just now:

26% OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS AGAINST MCCAIN IN NORTH CAROLINA...

If fellow FReeper Bender will kindly allow me to filch his signature comeback line, just this once:

"WE'RE BONED!!!"

After 9/11, can't imagine even the vile Clintons having their terrorist buds for an overnight, but Hussein would, proudly.

As long as he keeps his flock of sheeple in line, B. Hussein will win it. It will be at this point where we need to start considering plans to relocate. It’ll be Germany ca. 1930.
