I agree. For a number of reasons, I don’t think Rush’s big push on “Operation Chaos” was a good idea. I know many disagree.

I agree that, while it’s HIGHLY unlikely that Mrs. Clinton would end up on a McCain ticket, I would not be 100% surprised if he seriously considered it.

The party wouldn’t let him, but I bet McCain would consider Lieberman also, such is his desire to “cross the aisle” and work with Democrats.

Too many people are obsessed with “bipartiasanship” and “getting along,” rather than the SUBSTANCE of what is achieved. One can always “end the conflict” by surrendering, something McCain often seems eager to do.

Just my opinion. I know not all agree.

The superdelegates are coming to him.

That's because Obama's paying more than Hillary is.

You must not have seen the movie skeleton key? You are the girl in the middle of the circle, you are watching Hillary crawl towards you on her broken legs with that big grin on her face.

I sacrificed my vote yesterday in order to get rid of her.

She still won. It will take me a long time to forgive Rush for helping her.

you obviously didn't understand the whole...Dhimmocrat Convention in Chaos message.

It was a good message.

I am waiting for the poll by any “respected” pollster that asks democrat voters

“What is your opinion about the democratIC party system of using superdelegates to decide who your nominee will be?”

It looks like the DNC has been down in the lab and out in front of Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” with their own primary election strategy. I’m calling it “Mission: Retrofit”.

HOW does BHO get any delegates from Michigan, when he withdrew before the primary???

The primary was invalid. The Dems said it didn't count before it happened, so many, if not most Democrats didn't vote. Many crossed over to mess with the Republican primary.

There are two reasonable options for Michigan. Accept the penalty of seating no delegates, or hold a new primary.

They have instead decided to select delegates by fiat.

I find it hard to believe that this will get approved or is even legal.

“Ok, the thought of Mrs. Bill Clinton and the number 69 is beyond disgusting.”

Hah! Please, let’s try to keep our minds out of the gutter, shall we?

Obama cannot close the deal...doesn’t matter what Operation Chaos did in Indiana...he should have one that state regardless....it is right next to Chicago for crying out loud. There is NO reason for Hillary to drop out. Obama does not have the delegates to win either.....

That’s so far from democracy I need confirmation..

Democracy has nothing to do with how a political party chooses it’s nominee. There is no constitutional ‘right’ to even participate in choosing the nominee of your party. The Dims or Republicans can choose their candidate however they want. It might not look good from a public relations stand point, but it is their ‘right’.

Does she really have to sink this low to steal her nomination back from Obama?

No, she can sink lower. Give her time.
