Thank you for that correction about the difference in the popular vote.

So she’s got 3/4 of a million votes to catch up on.

If we assume that Obama’s dead, well it would be tough. But please keep in mind that the Hill only has to convince the vaunted super-delagates of her worthiness. Thus the Michigan and Florida thing can be but a talking point, as in she adds the popular vote in those states to her total because, well there’s a record somewhere that a lot of people in those states somewhere voted for her.

Although as someone upthread pointed out, the Dems went ahead with Mcgovern when he was so unelectable that I think I was the only one in America who voted for the guy. Yes I did and of course I am not proud of it.

But bear in mind that there’s ANOTHER fine candidate waiting in the wings. If the Dems had a Clinton waiting in the wings against Mcgovern I daresay they’d have thrown McGovern over the bow.

Hey, I’m prognosticating just like Dick Morris and I’ve got about the same track record.

Heh.

So did I (Vote McGovern) but that was when I was a mind-number College Student who bought the Dem propaganda. So there is at least two of us.

I was a lefty in my 1970s youth too but think of how different that was then.

Being a lefty back then for me was pot, long hair, stoned idealism and partying....maybe a bit greener, pro-civil rights but now being a liberal is so full of crazy crap we never envisioned:

50 million aborted babies...something undreamed of in 1972...a big one for me.

the rise of homosexuality

the fanaticism of the women's movement

gun control beyond restricting machine guns...

no new oil drilling or refineries.

passivity in the face of militant Islam

race lunacy and all the horrible crap that has come forth from the Great Society.....we did not know yet what fruits that would bear.

rampant anti-Christian values

rampant anti-family sentiments

support of illegitimacy

universal healthcare....unheard of.

Political correctness and the demonization of Western culture and the vicious onslaught towards equating my own Southern heritage with Nazis.

It goes on and on. Being a liberal is much different now than when we were kids.......much much different.

Average liberal today is worse than a Yippie was almost.
