Obama Faces 'Nightmare' Choice on Florida/Michigan Re-vote
Editor and Publisher ^ | March 05, 2008 9:50 | GregMitchell

Posted on 03/05/2008 9:28:14 AM PST by rface

NEW YORK Even in the afterglow of a truly super Tuesday, the chief HIllary Clinton backers today have not outlined a plausible scenario for how she actually overcomes the Obama lead and gets enough delegates to win -- except that two of them, Terry McAuliffe and Gov. Ed Rendell, are now introducing the possibility of a re-vote in Michigan and Florida.

Florida is now discussing shelling out the money to do the vote, and if that happens, Michigan will likely follow........

She doesn’t play on a level playing field. The Clintons are all smoke and mirrors. And corrupt. And sheer evil.

"IF Republicans were responsible for pushing Hillary over the top in Texas, and IF it was due to the urgings of Rush Limbaugh, then we have Rush to thank for another four to eight years of the Clintons."

And proof, IMO, that men who have a career for a wife, should chuck the career, stop f****ing up OUR lives, and go home and f*** their wives.

Yes, Congress’ poll numbers are LOWER THAN THE PRESIDENT’S yet we have 3 Congressmen running for the final approval as our next President.

We’ve been manipulated into accepting candidates that no one is happy with (I heard Democrats grumbling about it even before the Texas Primary rolled around).

There is no upside to this.

I’m predicting that the Florida Supreme Court will once again get involved in election politics before all this is over...

Florida was deprived of half of its Republican delegates so how can Crist allow the Democrats a do over unless the Republicans get one too?

When is the UN going to step in and condemn the democrats?

One other thing, if Hillary manages to steal the nomination from B. Hussein, and that’s how it will be portrayed at this point, the Dim party will implode along racial lines and blacks won’t just talk about not showing up(like conservatives do) they actually WON’T.

I’m waiting for the UN to send Rush Limbaugh a letter of condemnation and for Rush to auction it on ebay.

This episode will be a 60-second ad in the October period for the Republicans...when you can’t get enough votes...just revote...and revote....and revote....and revote. I can see this ad basically making a joke out of Hillary and the democrats.

A pretty idiotic post from you considering Rush’s screams against McCain were mostly falling on deaf ears in the GOP.

His two preferred GOP candidates, Thompson and Romney couldn’t even combine for enough votes to beat McCain in South Carolina.

Exactly...that's why Limbaugh was a total idiot with his crossover primary vote thingie.

Limbaugh just stuck the Dems with an extra couple of hundred million dollars in costs to select their candidate.

That's money they won't have to use against McCain..

Meanwhile, McCain can take shots at both of them, and their collective behavior, as they beat each other to a pulp.

Why is it racist for a child to say that Obama looks like a famous monkey with big ears but it is the whole basis for greating cards and websites to proclaim that President Bush looks like a monkey?

Why is it racist and dirty politics to say that Obama used cocaine but it is the whole basis of greeting cards and websites to proclaim that President Bush was a coke addict?

All most Democrats know...

All most black Democrats know is that they are going to vote for Obama or they aren't going to vote. The lack of logic on the part of the electorate is a two-edged sword that can also be used to advantage.

Your paranoia is astonishing! She won by 4% in Texas thanx to Republicans (like me), not Democraps! She cannot win the national! She has way too many negatives. Rush’s idea is brilliant and most of this board can’t look beyond their hatred of Hillary to see it! The longer she is kept in the race, the more divided the DNC becomes, and the more money both have to spend. This deplets coffers, divided the electorate and makes neither of them desireable, which with McCain pissing off his base is the only hope he has to win the national. You should be fearing Obama more than Clinton. He will be tauted as young and viberant verses Walter Matthuaws twin brother. Hillary will be seen by every divorced man as thier failed marrage in the White House, plus she has no charisma like Bill to swoone the white male vote, which she needs!

Look the Dem should and could organize their own Caucus in each state

Why should the states put out taxpayer money for a revote...

Bingo! The geniuses at DNC decided FL & MI delegates would not count because of being so uppity in moving up their primary dates. If the DNC wants a mulligan, let ‘em pay for it.

" IF Republicans were responsible for pushing Hillary over the top in Texas, and IF it was due to the urgings of Rush Limbaugh, then we have Rush to thank for another four to eight years of the Clintons.

"It annoys me to hear people proclaim so confidently that what happened in Texas was the best thing that could have happened and that McCain will win the election.

This “fractured” Democratic party thing is a myth. Most Americans are clueless when it comes to politics and wouldn’t know a “fractured party” from the backside of a bus.

"All most Democrats know is that the Republicans are evil and that they are going to come out en masse to put a Democrat back in the White House, be it Hillary, or Barack, or Woody Allen.

Well, I voted for Her Thighness, and with all due respect, I take umbrage with your opinions and suugestions.

I'm so glad that you (and so many others here) are such brilliant political strategist and soooo politically savy and of course, are in possession of a crystal ball which allows all of you to "know with certainty," the outcome of events and the causation thereof.

Me, I'm just a regular 64 year old, semi retired, vet, whose been around and voting for 44 years and operates on personal experience and instincts, which have served me well up to now.

I'm a Conservative (NOT A REPUBLICAN) and this is the 1st time I voted for a Dhummy in 44 years, since I voted for LBJ

And while I've listened to Rush for 19 years, I am NOT a mind-numbed robot. I decided to do this several weeks ago, BEFORE Rush began to suggest this strategy.

Moreover, as much as I despise Hitlery, I fear Barack ("Peace Be Upon His Middle No Name") Obama even more.

As we speak, the RNC is besides themselves trying to figure out how to attack B.O., without seeming to be "attacking" him.

Do you or anyone else REALLY believe that the MSM will NOT do everything in their power to insure his anointment??

Moreover, if Hildabeast gets the nod, I believe that many blacks will be so pissed, they will stay home.

Next, as Hitlery's negatives are so high, many will stay home and many others will turn out simply to vote AGAINST her--much as many of us did in 04 against Kerry.

Last but not least, it is pure pleasure to F*ck with the Dhimis and create mischief and mayhem, which will be the case if The Witch can pull off a couple of wins and continues to campaign.

Does anyone doubt for one minute that the reason we are now saddled with one of the biggest RINO's in Congress is because the Dhimis did in fact use this very same tactic in the early primaries/caucuses?

My conscience will be clear and I won't even bother confessing this "transgression" to my parish priest. LoL

Hey, the way I see it, I'm just following the lead of our presumptive leader McPain, as he preaches (AND PRACTICES) "reaching across the aisle," if you will.

Whether it works or not (to forment confusion, tumult, chaos, etc., within the D party) remains to be seen.

In the meantime, I would suggest that you and others tune it down a notch or 5 and let's just see how this all shakes out. There will be time enough down the road for recriminations (OR ADMISSIONS OF I TOLD YOU SO FROM EITHER ONE OF US)or Kudos.

As for me I have NO REMORSE--NO REGRETS!!!
