You obviously think that Hussein Obama would be easier to beat in November than Hillary. At this point I would have agree with you. However, you forget that just a couple of months ago Hussein was looking unstoppable and was completely untarnished in the eyes of the public. Had he won the nomination then he would have remained the untarnished golden boy since there is no chance that the media would have ever went looking for, or reported, dirt on him.

Today, he is damaged goods. If this nomination process hadn’t continued to this point you never would of heard of Jermiah Wright, Rezko, Michelle Obama’s contempt for this country, along with a host of other things. Even the elitist “bitter clinging” remarks he made probably never would have happened since he wouldn’t have been trying to win other leftists over to his side and away from Hillary. This drawn out process has given more and more people opportunities to see Hussein Obama for what he really is - an empty suit at best, and a dangerous racist Marxist at worst.

You tell me if any of this would be widespread knowledge today if he had already won the nomination and the entire left wing media had already had the chance to close ranks behind him.

If OB is elected he will, like all Presidents before him, be signing laws voted on by congress. Many views here think he will be a dictator. Make his own laws. Won’t happen, we still have a military that will see to that.

I have spoken to some Obama supporters who would rather vote for her before they vote for McCain.
According to polls I've read, there are more Obama supporters will vote for Clinton than there are Clinton supporters who will vote for Obama.

By that measure alone, Obama seems to be the weaker rat candidate.

However, Clinton may have the highest negatives in US election history. I really don't see how she could win the general election.

But that doesn't really matter. She's not going to get IN the general election (unless as VP, which seems unlikely for many reasons).

The rats know that if they give Hillary the nod now, after Mr. Magic Mullah has been virtually PROMISED his time in the sun... boy, Chicago '68 is going to look like a garden party in comparison to Denver '08.

A few of them said they would be so pissed if she steals the nomination, they will see to it that everyone in their family votes for McCain. IMO Dems are screwed either way.

Popular vote only matters if it benefits the MOST LIBERAL candidate.

If it wasn't for double standards--liberals wouldn't have any!

Two very excellent lines you just composed there, stockstrader. I couldn't agree more.

The Dems are so fractured that 30+ percent of each of their supporters are saying they’ll either stay home or vote for McCain rather than vote for the other one.

We’re looking at two bloodbaths this fall. One at the DNC convention, the other on election day.

This is so true. The Rats have their left one in a crusher. Of course they don’t have a right one.

I think “Operation Chaos” was a truly stupid idea and will actually probably result in our having a hard-left, islamist, black-nationalist idiot as our next president. I think people would be far less likely to vote for Hillary than for Osama.
Do you even know what "Operation Chaos" is? Do you know which of the rat candidates it is intended to (temporarily) boost? From what you posted here, it seems your understanding is exactly 180-degrees bass ackwards.

Hillary, starting yesterday before the Penn. votes were counted had to win 58% of the votes in the remaining states. She only got 54% in Penn. which is probably going to be her best state. The Dems will not give her the nomination without the popular votes to back it up especially against a black person. Obama is going to be the nominee.
That's right.

Hillary Clinton cannot win the Rat Nomination.

Boosting her numbers only keeps her in the race longer and does more damage to the certain rat nominee: The Mullah Obama.

I would not expect McCain to get anywhere near 50% of the black vote...there was a similar rift between Cleo Fields and Mary Landrieu in Louisiana, but in the end, blacks sucked it up and voted for Landrieu.

Sure it does (She’s less liberal than Obama), if by chance he makes it HE would be worse as POTUS, “the devil you know”..

Do you want to take the CHANCE that he’ll be president?

Thanks, Red! Those numbers include FL and MI. I’m not sure how those will eventually count. Chaos troops may have to switch to Obama in NC and IN. Decisions, decisions.

The optimal scenario here, people, is Obama is nominated and his people’s hatred for Hillary so intense that she is not asked to be VP.
That's right. And the way to increase that hatred is to keep Hillary in there fighting, even though she has no real chance of winning. Which is exactly what Operation Chaos is all about.

>>Thanks, Rush. Thanks Operation Chaos. <<

I agree, minus the sarcasm. This whole thing is starting to remind me of the scene in Rainman where Dustin Hoffman refuses to get on a plane.

It stared with a quiet “uh oh”. ;)

This is getting more fun every day!

You’re right. Obama believes in something while Hillary is pure criminal. But what does Obama believe in? I’ll tell you: 24 karat Marxism.

I’ll take a criminal over a Marxist anyday.

But anyway, it’s not even a valid choice because Hillary has NO chance of winning the nomination. NONE.

So why not boost her numbers and keep her criminal-carcass in the fight making sad-sack commie-Obama look weaker and weaker by the day?

Why not?

Just be sure to check for orders from your C-in-C before proceeding.

Hillary always lead the vote totals with or without Florida and Michigan. They are giving Obama too much popular vote credit for caucuses. He is really way behind.
