LATE EDITION (CNN) :
That would be easier to figure out.
Okay, I’ve got to get cooking my Easter ham but I’ll throw my prediction out there.
I think Obama is dead meat. No way he can win in November, just no way at all. Even my niece the beautician said, when I mentioned Obama to her, that he was “dead meat”. and you know how I can’t on those ladies in the beauty parlor.
Now I don’t think the Dems are going to sit back and nominate a guy they know cannot possibly win. That’s one where I differ from you AB. If you think the Dems are going to go ahead and nominate a guy who can’t possibly win , for the PRESIDENCY, mind you, I got a bridge to sell you cheap.
This especially when they’ve got Hillary who’s got a hell of a chance to win if Obama is out of the way. Understand I don’t want Hillary to win but I’m thinking like a Dem here.
Now what has to happen is that Hillary needs to win the POPULAR vote in the remaining primaries and what with Obama so dead, as I see it, it COULD happen. PA has a lot of voters and there’s a few other primaries left. Last I heard, correct me if I’m wrong, is that Obama’s beating Hillary in the popular vote by a hundred grand or so.
So if Hill wins the popular vote in the primary, and Obama is declared unelectable by the Dem poohbahs, which he will be because he is, duh, unelectable. He’ll not survive the next seven months with the Rev. Wright on Youtubes across the fruited plains. Not to mention his white grandmother comments.
So the so-called super-delegates swing their votes to Hill which they will from the pressure of, yeah, the Clintons, but also common sense. Why nominate a guy without a chance to win?
One more major caveat. There’s always the issue of resentment, rancor, possibly riots by the black folk who will likely feel disenfranchised by the Dem party they’ve worked so hard to support through the years.
simple. Some Dem party elder approaches Obama yo mama and promises him...I dunno, the moon, the stars, a cabinet post, a 2012 run with the full support of the Dem party if he gets the hell away from that reverund....whatever it takes they get Obama to resign HIMSELF.
Obama asks his followers to hold any anger, that he intends to get some more experience and exposure, that he will be back after soul-searching and Hillary serves her two terms.
To think that the Dems are going to sit back and give McCain this next election, that Hill’s going to sit back and let unelectable Obama run to a huge landslide loss, well you give the Dems credit for too much decency.
I think Richardson's con is to appeal to everyone by looking like a lefty white guy yet claiming he really is Hispanic.
If he grew a beard to look more Hispanic what does that say about his stereotyping of his own race?
Could happen but I think it’s a long shot.
Prediction: Hillary will drop out of the race before the convention to avoid a bloody fight. The DNC will make her an offer she can’t refuse.
Yes, that was indeed a memorable and powerful scene of an astounding miracle and it was perfectly done. IIRC, the actor was Charlton Heston in Ben-Hur. But, I could well be wrong.
The Dem nominee/MSM will paint McCain as a doddering old guy, like it did with Perot's VP nominee, Admiral Stockdale.
They already have a collection of McCain verbal fumbles, stumbles, stammers, and those are growing. MTP just discussed a major gaffe McCain made in Iraq regarding al-Qaeda and the Sunni-Shi’ite factions. Those kinds of gaffes will come back to haunt McCain in the general election.
Another is the ABC video of McCain's ‘conservative liberal Republican’. In this one short video McCain makes 2 verbals gaffes and McCain's repeats his desire assault the First Amendment by wanting to outlaw 527’s. McCain a 'Proud Liberal'? (Video)
He is risen indeed!
The Easter Sermon of John Chrysostom
Pastor of Constantinople (~400 AD)
Is there anyone who is a devout lover of God?
Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival!
Is there anyone who is a grateful servant?
Let them rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord!
Are there any weary with fasting?
Let them now receive their wages!
If any have toiled from the first hour,
let them receive their due reward;
If any have come after the third hour,
let him with gratitude join in the Feast!
And he that arrived after the sixth hour,
let him not doubt; for he too shall sustain no loss.
And if any delayed until the ninth hour,
let him not hesitate; but let him come too.
And he who arrived only at the eleventh hour,
let him not be afraid by reason of his delay.
For the Lord is gracious and receives the last even as the first.
He gives rest to him that comes at the eleventh hour,
as well as to him that toiled from the first.
To this one He gives, and upon another He bestows.
He accepts the works as He greets the endeavor.
The deed He honors and the intention He commends.
Let us all enter into the joy of the Lord!
First and last alike receive your reward;
rich and poor, rejoice together!
Sober and slothful, celebrate the day!
You that have kept the fast, and you that have not,
rejoice today for the Table is richly laden!
Feast royally on it, the calf is a fatted one.
Let no one go away hungry. Partake, all, of the cup of faith.
Enjoy all the riches of His goodness!
Let no one grieve at his poverty,
for the universal kingdom has been revealed.
Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again;
for forgiveness has risen from the grave.
Let no one fear death, for the Death of our Savior has set us free.
He has destroyed it by enduring it.
He destroyed Hades when He descended into it.
He put it into an uproar even as it tasted of His flesh.
Isaiah foretold this when he said,
“You, O Hell, have been troubled by encountering Him below.”
Hell was in an uproar because it was done away with.
It was in an uproar because it is mocked.
It was in an uproar, for it is destroyed.
It is in an uproar, for it is annihilated.
It is in an uproar, for it is now made captive.
Hell took a body, and discovered God.
It took earth, and encountered Heaven.
It took what it saw, and was overcome by what it did not see.
O death, where is thy sting?
O Hades, where is thy victory?
Christ is Risen, and you, o death, are annihilated!
Christ is Risen, and the evil ones are cast down!
Christ is Risen, and the angels rejoice!
Christ is Risen, and life is liberated!
Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead;
for Christ having risen from the dead,
is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
To Him be Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen!
Are you Lutheran? We are. Both my kids were confirmed in high school and my husband switched over from catholic to what he calls, with love, catholic lite. :)
Cedric will be so disappointed. He’s been wanting another potato salad thread.
Hey, The guy who played Jesus in “Jesus of Nazareth” is the same guy who played little Tommy’s bomber pilot father and first husband of the Ann Margaret character in the movie “Tommy”. Haah! I never noticed that until just now...
I loved Moonman62's comment from the other day--
I wonder if Obama is a typical black/white person who fears himself.
I’m glad to see that Chris Wallace has Rendell and Richardson on at the same time. I was not looking forward to seeing them on the program back-to-back. This arrangement is much more pleasant.
He also exudes that "Conquistador" aura.
Each decries ‘Bloodletting’ as they keep trying to stick knives in each other. Really World Class entertainment!
