Hillary! "Oh, what a night...!"

[amicus]

Been watching the tube, FOX, CNN, MSNBC. back and forth, all day and all night long as the Primary Election procedure progresses.

Even Slick Willy, said, some days back, Hillary has to win Ohio and Texas, or her campaign is over....

Well, guess what, folks...she did! Took three out of four primary elections that were held today.

Trouble is, her victories essentially solved nothing. Obama still leads in Delegates, Super Delegates and the Popular vote and with the remaining Primary elections remaining, cannot be overtaken...which means....?

A brokered Convention for the Democrats.

Egads....will it be 1968 all over again? Violence in the streets?

The Repugs decided that Senator John McCain will be the Nominee in November, that in itself, is warmed over pea soup, though, thought I would mention it.

It would take far too much space to share everything and unless you follow such things closely, you wouldn't understand anyway....

Suffice it to say, there will be great theatre in the offing for political junkies over the next several months as the Democrats attempt to decide between Clinton and Obama.

It is only entertainment for some, unfortunately, as a lifelong political pundit, I have no choice but to wipe off my opera glasses and sit back for the performance.

Such a deal....

Amicus....

Well, Hitlery and O'Bama are both far shy of the 2025 delegates they need to sew things up. Maybe the Republicans in the wide-open Texas primary crossed over and voted for her to keep the race tight? It will be fun........Carney

Yup, thas what Limbaugh told his listeners, vote for Clinton, keep this thing going so the Dems could bloody each other for the next few months.

Even if Hillary won all twelve remaining contests, she could not reach the coveted 2025...which means it will go to Convention and right down into da mud and da blood and da beer.

Fun...you bet!

Appropriate for a boy named Hu...ssein.

Yep. It will be fun to watch the gang slug it out.

But I cant handle Hillary's voice. If she is the next President I'm jabbing my eardrums with an icepick.

Saw two funny comments last night.

Interview with young lady about Obama:

I don't care what his middle name is, I can't vote for someone who looks like Curious George!

*serious water spew, while wife falls of couch in hyterics*

Comment about Hitlery that got bleeped:

I'm supposed to vote for the bugeyed screeching bitch?

Those two have said it all

HA! Comment from Christopher Hitchens of Vanity Fair this morning on Morning Joe -

"I see Obama as a shallow flake...a sucessful shallow flake, but a flake none the less." Glad to see people are finally figuring it out.

One has to question why Obama does well in caucases but not primaries. And also, note the legal complaint filed last night over the Texas Caucus - alleging that the Obama people locked the Hillary supporters out and stole the Hillary paperwork in five meeting halls in Austin and Dallas.

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

Obama scares me less than Hillary. I hope he gets it.

Here's an clip from the London Times that is pretty much spot on. The article is quite long and well, thoughtfully written without any of the partisan bullshit of the American media.

The split between primaries and caucuses was illustrated perfectly in Texas. That state has an odd hybrid system in which two thirds of its delegates are picked on the basis of its primary and the other third in caucuses which took place right after the primary poll had closed. She seems to have won the primary by 51-47 per cent. He looks as if he took the caucus component (where far fewer votes were cast) by 55-45 per cent. Depending on how the final arithmetic develops it is possible that he could emerge from Texas with more delegates than her even though this newspaper, like every other media outlet, is reporting “Clinton wins Texas”. I did warn this was complicated.

This sort of pattern will disturb the superdelegates. They will worry that Senator Obama consistently fails to win the primaries held in large states (the only one in the top ten by population he has taken is in his home state of Illinois). Many of those who supported Senator Clinton in Ohio yesterday, for instance - disproportionately white voters, often women, on modest incomes - may prefer John McCain to Senator Obama come November. If that happens, the Republicans will retain control over the White House.

If Hillary tries to fuck Obama for the nomination blacks will stay home in November. Then you get Dubya Lite.

I hear the pundints saying that. But I question the accuracy. Are middle and lower class blacks better off under Bush? Do they know how much worse off they are now than under Bill Clinton? I don't think they are so stupid as to stab themselves in the ass for four (or eight) more years with McCain rather than vote for Hillary even though she ain't "their boy," Obama.

What an awful slur on McCain! The fact that he has not run away from the Bush record (and still won the Republican nomination) is a tribute to his courage.

I think McCain is a lot smarter than Bush -- not that that's saying much. He's gone way too conservative for my taste -- most of his career his was more of a moderate. Hopefully he would be that again if he got elected.

Of course, another Republican president would mean that the Supreme Court will drift even more to the right -- already an alarming trend.

What pundits are saying blacks will stay home from the election if Clinton nudges Obama out? That would be a sea change. The blacks have had a horrible time struggling with leaving the Clintons, who they previously had always backed hard, for Obama. I don't see a rationale for turning their backs on Clinton if she's the only one of the two left. Whichever of the two takes the nomination, you can bet the other one will campaign for them--neither one is dumb enough to walk away from the party like that--or to damage their chances in their own next elections.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I suspect McCain picked Charlie Crist for VP. Charlie went out and got a girlfriend for the first time since anyone can remember. Some woman accused him of fathering her child, but Charlie said that was an impossibility. We believe him.

 

[sr71plt]

I think it will be a good long time before McCain picks a vp running mate. Why give up the horse trading benefits until just about convention time?

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I suspect John likes to be in the center for a variety of reasons. Plus we see so much of Charlie with McCain. We naturally wonder.

No, "we" don't. Can we all spell "insidious libel"?
