Clinton is on the ropes
The Hill ^ | 05/07/08 | Klaus Marre and Sam Youngman

Posted on 05/06/2008 11:42:45 PM PDT by Aristotelian

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) presidential aspirations took a severe blow Tuesday night when frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) soundly defeated her in North Carolina and the former first lady was unable to counterpunch in Indiana. While Clinton has lost by greater margins and once suffered through a long losing streak, Tuesday’s results were devastating because it took the wind out of the sails of a campaign that had tried to convince voters and superdelegates that the tide had turned in her favor.

Time is now running out for Clinton, who is behind in pledged delegates, total delegates, states won and total votes. It will be increasingly tough for her to convince superdelegates to remain uncommitted as momentum has clearly swung back to Obama.

Nope- awful news. There’s NO way Obama loses to McCain. No way.

I think you’re wrong.

I think he has more overt awful stuff in his record than Shrillery does. Her’s was easier for the globalists to hide in plain sight.

We shall see.

What you need to consider is that the media will shill for him non-stop... if he gets in, he's in for 8 years... ALL of his social programs will pass, the GOP will have no spine when it calls for blocking these outlandish handouts, for fear of being called the "R" word...

Think about it for a second... at least with the beast, they can block her at every turn with impunity... With him, yes sir, may I have another.

I think the globalists have scheduled hell to break loose within the next 4 years.

It will be interesting just to see who’s alive after the next 4 years.

The major thing to be handed out is death—globally.
