Obama’s message to the supers

By American Street

It’s pretty basic. And word has it that one super, George McGovern, has switched his vote from Clinton’s camp already, despite her persistence to carry on.

As I said before, I expect a village of supers to come in from the cold for Obama by tomorrow. Till then, the race is on, but I remain committed to end the bickering with fellow Dems who stay on-board her Quixotic quest.

Post Indiana and NC primary 2

In Indiana where African-Americans made up 14 percent of the voters, Obama won 92 percent of that demographic while Clinton only got 8 percent. That compares to 13 percent of the African-American vote Clinton won in Ohio and the 10 percent she received in Pennsylvania two weeks ago.

Clinton's African-American support was even less in North Carolina. There Obama received 91 percent while the New York senator only received 6 percent.

What would the outcome be if all ‘white’ eligible voters voted for the ‘white’ candidate and all ‘black’ eligible voters voted for the ‘black’ candidate?
Democracy in crisis?

Post Indiana and NC primary 1

The democratic process of undemocratically selecting a candidate by way of Obama using (or is it misusing?) his ‘blackness’ when playing up to the ‘black’ voters to elect a ‘black’ person president overwhelms in an effort to override his lack of experience, empty solutions and little substance.

He still offers no relief for drivers’ gas pain now. His ‘push back’ calling Hillary’s immediate solution of a price per gallon tax break a ‘gimmick’ is a gimmick. He does not relate to the lower income people who find themselves in financial difficulty, or people who commute long distances to work, or truck drivers who will get thousands of dollars in relief transporting products and produce to the shelves of our stores.

Obama’s efforts to dodge the topic of race also feeds the belief that race will cease to be a problem if he is elected because he didn’t bring it up. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, however, forced Obama to confront race even though it may have torpedoed Obama’s hopes.
Race now is an uncomfortable part of Obama’s campaign, despite his masterful speech on race in March and his recent denunciation of Wright. “He’s gone from being not black enough to too black,” Ricks said.
White candidates such as Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain have to do the opposite to appeal to black voters. They have to emphasize race to win black votes but run race neutral with whites. They have the luxury of turning race on and off. Obama does not.

There is no relief for gas pain

You're wishing in vain if you think any politician can grant quick relief from high gas prices. Dropping the gas tax wouldn't lower the price since we've already shown we're willing to pay the current price. A windfall profits tax wouldn't work because the oil companies would just use it to justify keeping prices up. After all, they're still paying the tax. Besides, that's our highway funding you're talking about cutting, which means the loss of a bunch of jobs. Unless you want to advocate price controls or a mandate for increased pumping, there is nothing to be done except to wait for decreased demand to lower the price, or increased pumping to take advantage of high prices which will eventually drop prices, or for speculation to subside which it eventually will. I suppose you can hope for an economic collapse in oil-consuming countries. Instead of complaining, you might want to learn the bus routes or start telecommuting. Tell Congress to restore alternative energy tax credits. Ignoring basic economics doesn't help.

Post Indiana and NC primary 3

Barack Obama underestimated NC by 3% and overestimated Indiana by 4%.
His prediction of winning Indiana by a 7% point spread (53%-46%) was instead upset by a loss of 2% spread (51% HRC – 49% BHO)

Kerry lied this morning on MSNBC (the station that can’t be creative enough in coming up with new ways to pucker up their lips against Obama’s buns without harming Olberman’s nose which is stuck between his crack) saying that Obama beat every prediction. Of course Obama’s own prediction shows Kerry (super hypocrite) lied.
Obama and his supporters clearly would like this race to end now. Not because Hillary Clinton doesn’t have a clear shot at the nomination and Obama will not have the delegate count to reach 2025 but they are very concerned that the longer this goes on the greater potential for Mr. Obama to hurt himself more with new revelations.
Meanwhile, websites like:

Delegate count results from Indiana and NC

.

Indiana___________NC
Clinton 38____+____47 = 85
Obama 34____+____65 = 99

Obama only picked up 14 more delegates instead of the 18 he thought he would get.

I haven’t watched Olberman since his violence-against-women sexist ‘gaff’ about someone taking Hillary into a room and being the only one to walk out. But maybe I’ll watch MSNBC later to see how much more Obama ass kissing they can come up with. It ought to be humerous in any event.

Contrary to the Obama campaign's claims that the race is over, all voters should have their say before a candidate declares victory and tries to circumvent the democratic process.

Hillary Will Drop Out by June 15

Hillary Will Drop Out by June 15
Posted May 7, 2008 | 01:18 PM (EST)

A senior campaign official and Clinton confidante has told me that there will be a Democratic nominee by June 15. He could not bring himself to say the words "Hillary will drop out by June 15," but that is clearly what he meant. I kept saying, "So, Hillary will drop out by June 15," and he kept saying, "We will have a nominee by June 15." He stressed what a reasonable person Hillary is.

Everything about our conversation implied that he had already had this reality-based discussion with Hillary. He said the Clinton campaign plan is to collect as many votes and delegates as they can right through June 3, then take no more than a week or so to make their case to the superdelegates. Nothing he said indicated that he actually expected the superdelegates to move to Hillary in the week after the final election. The Clinton campaign has not lost its grip on reality. Yes, Clinton spokespersons publicly seem to be lost on gravity-free planet Clinton, but privately they know the end is near.

"The Clinton campaign has not lost its grip on reality" - I beg to differ...

He could not bring himself

He could not bring himself to say the words "Hillary will drop out by June 15,"

He's lost his mind with his blind support of HRC (R)

Clinton gained too, but who on Obamacant's team is counting?

...Clinton told reporters it would take 2,209 or 2,210 delegates to win the nomination, not the 2,025 in use by the Democratic National Committee. The higher total would come into play if the delegations were seated from Michigan and Florida, two states that held primaries outside the time frame that party rules required.

...Clinton told reporters it would take 2,209 or 2,210 delegates to win the nomination, not the 2,025 in use by the Democratic National Committee.
--------------------------
There are many ways to translate that:
"The Democratic Party can kiss our asses!"
"I'm desperate!"

But I think the most accurately descriptive is:
"We're a bunch of lying, cheating, scumbag hypocrites concerned only with ourselves."

Howard Wolfson, January 26:
[WOLFSON MEMO] This remains a delegate fight, with 1,681 delegates at stake on February 5th, and 2,025 needed to secure the nomination -- and we are ahead in that fight.

Howard Wolfson, February 12:
"We don’t think either candidate will be able to get 2,025 delegates without the superdelegates," Wolfson said during Monday’s briefing, a prediction that may come down to whether Clinton can stem Obama’s February momentum by taking the majority of Texas's and Ohio’s 389 delegates on March 4 (Vermont and Rhode Island also hold contests that day).

Howard Wolfson, February 13:
"Superdelegates are supposed to vote their conscience. ... That's essentially what my friend David Axelrod said on the Today show. ... No one is going to win the nomination without them. Our goal is to get to 2025 delegates. " - Howard Wolfson

I got to doing a bit of browsing on my own, knowing she herself has said as much:

Who will announce joining the republican party first?

Hillary or fACTME?

LOL

Who will announce joining the republican party first?

Obama already joined it. He voted for Cheney's energy bill.

NO LOL!

Obama dropped out of

Michigan race by foolishly taking his name off of the ballot.

This is an act of demonstrating he has no interest in Michigan voters, therefore no Michigan votes or delegates should be seated for Obama.

Obama broke Florida rules by

running ads in Florida. That is a fact. Therefore no votes or delegates should be seated for Obama.

This is not a fact

Obama ran national ads that reached all markets. What, you thought there was a special filter for Florida?

Factme, I see you posting Obama-bashing posts with great frequency. What to you hope to accomplish by this? If you're not a Republican troll but a Democrat supporting Clinton --- in other words, open to reason --- let me point out the clinching facts that end Clinton's hopes. First, Obama's lead in pledged delegates widened considerably last night and Clinton won't come close to catching him. Given the bump Obama is likely to get with the race essentially being over, he'll likely get a big majority of the remaining delegates, and the supers he already has might be enough to put him over. He certainly won't need many of the undeclared supers. Clinton, on the other hand, needs the undeclared supers to go heavily for her and overturn the pledged delegates. Considering they haven't had the guts to declare before now, what are the odds they'll take the political risk of overturning the pledged results? Pretty much nil. Unless a meteor lands on Obama, he's won. If you're a Democrat, it's time to quit bashing the nominee and figure out how to beat McCain.

End of story

Luckily now there is no hope for Hillary

Even if she cheats and gets Fl and MI on board.

Obama will still have the popular vote and delegate vote.

She was so ahead in money. And she pissed it away. Why? Because she thought it was her nomination from the start and she didn't take it seriously. Too bad, so sad.

Dianne Feinstein To Clinton: Show Me Your Plan
The Huffington Post |
May 7, 2008 03:23 PM

I, as you know, have great fondness and great respect for Sen. Clinton and I'm very loyal to her," Feinstein said. "Having said that, I'd like to talk with her and [get] her view on the rest of the race and what the strategy is."

Clinton, who eked out a win in Indiana Tuesday night but lost big to front-runner Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in North Carolina, has not responded to Feinstein's phone call, the California senator said.

"I think the race is reaching the point now where there are negative dividends from it, in terms of strife within the party," Feinstein said. "I think we need to prevent that as much as we can."

Tuesday night's results are widely viewed as a blow to Clinton's hopes after she failed to deliver a "game-changing" performance. Instead, Obama extended his leads among delegates and popular votes.

Feinstein stressed that Clinton is not an "also-run candidate," but added that there is a question "as to whether she can get the delegates that she needs. I'd like to see what the strategy is and then we can talk further."

The funny thing about Fl and Mi

Everyone knew that if she got behind, Hillary would try to get those tainted results counted.

But I think we all hoped it was a joke. We all hoped she would have more class and wouldn't actually go there. Just imagine how her reputation would have grown had she been ethical and classy about all this and put pie in hte faces of all those that predicted she would try to cheat. We would all have to admit she is not without honor.

But what did Hillary do? Knowing what everyone would think about such an action, Hillary went ahead and called to have those bogus results counted. She has no shame. She is not worthy of being president.

1) Whether you think the Clintons do or don't 'like' Rev. Wright is your interpretation. Hillary only said he wouldn't be her 'pastor.'

2) As I said above, they invited several religious persons to a prayer breakfast.
Link:

The Clintons invited more than 100 religious leaders from around the country. And Wright, pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, was one of them.
...
A couple days after the Obama campaign released the Clinton-Wright photo, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore took it one step further and claimed that during a time of marital difficulties due to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Clintons had reached out to none other than Rev. Wright for “spiritual counseling.”

According to ministers at the prayer breakfast, that’s not true. Wright was merely one of more than 100 religious leaders invited to the prayer breakfast. There was no spiritual counseling.

A small team of ministers were chosen by Clinton to provide ongoing religious counseling about his indiscretions. But Wright wasn’t one of them. We rule Moore's statement False.

Obama Is A Sure Loser, Clinton Should Fight On

Sam Stein
The Huffington Post:

Link:
Ed Koch: Obama Is A Sure Loser, Clinton Should Fight On

As Democrats coalesce around Sen. Barack Obama, one of Hillary Clinton's must outspoken supporters is not mincing words: the party is walking needlessly and unaware into a general election buzzsaw.
"I believe Obama probably will win [the Democratic nomination], although in politics you never ever can count anybody out," said former New York Mayor Ed Koch. "I think Hillary is doing a magnificent job and is a great candidate and if anybody can pull it out, she can. But my honest opinion is, it probably won't happen. And that he will be the candidate and that he will lose."
Koch's argument, while never voiced in public by Clinton, is thought to reflect the opinion of the senator and her key aides.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, Koch warned that despite Obama's lead in every single primary election metric, the Illinois Democrat simply would not be able to best John McCain come November. As such, he urged Clinton to stay in the race even as some in the party call for her drop out now, even before Obama has officially secured the nomination.
Were the majority of states and voters who had gone to Obama - and the superdelegates who could very well affirm their decisions - making a grievous political mistake?
"Mistake is not exactly the word," replied Koch. "It is the wrong judgment. The reason that the superdelegates are there is to select that person who is most likely to prevail. And...even though he does not win on his own merits in terms of racking up sufficient delegates, in all probability the superdelegates will be afraid to exercise their own judgment. And we will simply go along with the count of the delegates that were chosen in the polls."

Why President Bush is a Hero
By Ed Koch
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/12/why_president_bush_is_...

"Why is NY's former mayor, a gay man, speaking at the RNC?"
Of course, it's no surprise that Ed Koch is gay. Everyone in NY seems to know it and it was confirmed for me in 1996 by Ed's former lover, the late Richard Nathan. At the time, Richard was on the Board of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and I was the Development Director. When I called Ed a few weeks ago even he refused to deny that he was gay. He was, however, excited that someone "would be interested in the sex life of an 80 year old."
[...]
And now, a gay man Ed Koch, is supporting G. W. Bush and the most homophobic platform in American history.

Without checking, I think Ed Koch was in New York when the 'Twin Towers' were being built, and when they were destroyed by the 'terrorists.' And of course he was the NYC Mayor three times I believe.

But you can't see the concern because Obama has convinced you it didn't happen. Hillary should not have gone after the 'terrorists' either. That was 'bad judgment' according to Obama.

So what don't you like the 'liberal' position of accepting gays? Or, the fact that we went after terrorists?

Here take a look.Better luck next time.

Watching Hillary's inspirational victory speech last night I immediately thought of Monty Python. And not because her campaign resembles a dead parrot. The happy talk performance reminded me of the Black Knight scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

See video

If you remember, King Arthur (Graham Chapman) is passing through a forest when he is confronted by the Black Knight (John Cleese). After observing The Black Knight destroy one of his own knights, Arthur tells him, "You fight with the strength of many men, Sir Knight... You have proved yourself worthy. Will you join me?" The Black Knight refuses to join him, and refuses to let the King pass. "I move for no man," he intones. The two then go at it mano a mano, as our current president would say. King Arthur first cuts one of the Black Knight's arms off with his sword, then another. He then cuts off his leg. Bleeding from three stumps, hopping around on one foot, the Black Knight magnanimously announces, "All right, we'll call it a draw."

I can't think of a more resonant metaphor for the Democratic primary today.

The only problem is Obama hasn't won the nomination, the media is again propagandising the facts, and the superdelegates for Hillary should get up and encourage the others to open their eyes.

Superdelegates for Hillary? How many are left? Before you answer you should probably check; she might have just lost another one.

Former "superdelegates for Hillary" seem to be opening their eyes a little more everyday. She even lost a few when she supposedly had the momentum after PA.

"Superdelegates for Hillary? How many are left?"

Are they wearing "I Was a Superdelegate for Hilary and All I Got Was This Stupid Shirt" T-Shirts?
