More about the Yule Goat
just waiting for the Clinton's to get out of our way.
She's bluffing; playing the game like the cards are where she wants them. You're right, in appearence she's reaching, even if she's merely holding her head high when it's raining.
What I mean her only viable posture and message at this point is to project a determination to stay in the game, just like the message everyone else projects right before he/she drops out. Not worries, she's history. [BTW, any early exit poll data anywhere?]

Happily, she will leave enough angry and disappointed people behind in this race that she and Bill may never be factors in the Dem. Party again.
And yes they will lose.
This is how change happens. This is why change happens so infrequently. Change is tough on the establishment because it is them we seek to change.
Smile and fight on.

The war crimes trial begins the day the dems take office.
"2209--Year Hillary will be President"
Earlier this morning I suggested perhaps a change from negative Clinton posts BUT later when I heard the reports that she is NOW doing the weirdest math and ONCE again moving the goal posts, I went ballistic. No One in this party seems to have the balls to step in and squelch this insane megalomaniac woman. Over the span of a few months I went from trying to be neutral to down right hate of this woman.
Enough of her "I am the winner". NO she is not and self-proclamation doesn't make it so. You want to fight her all year, I am with you.
They'll come around. They won't lead the march but they'll join it when it leaves without them.
Understand that their seats are very soft and that they are very comfortable.
It felt so good to vote for Obama. Come on, North Carolina, let's kick Billary's butt.
I don't think "they" will come around. For months now the Dems have let Clinton rule the message, change the message, and abuse the message. It is time for this to stop. When she now says she is leading by adding in the MI and FL voters, AFTER she signed an agreement not to do so it is time to make her ABIDE by the norms of civil elections. She will never do this on her own, that is apparent.
I'm not sure Hillary and Bill will come around either. However I believe the rest of the Democratic establishment will. When it is clear the train is near full and ready to leave the station they will be cramming on. The Clinton's may indeed be left screaming on the platform.
Just curious, who did you vote for in the governor's race?
So we'd better not pay too much attention to her - so far none of her fuzzy math
has turned out right.
They're nothing but bad news for the Democrats.
Even when they won the White House, they lost seats in the House and the Senate and the Governorships.
We saw George Bush consistently use this tactic. The Democrats have consistently backed down even though the obvious results endanger our very democracy. We see Hillary willing to threaten the party in order to secure the nomination or to put herself in a position to run against McCain in the next election.
The math makes it fairly clear that Clinton cannot win. The damage to Obama has been considerable. However, the super delegates and party leaders fail to weigh in. Had the matter been settled earlier, Clinton could have been a VP candidate to create the dream ticket. We all know that that can not happen now.
It is time for the Democrats to develop some courage and to truly balance the costs and benefits of their inaction. Besides, do we really want to turn our party into a party utilizing Republican tactics against each other?
we have a choice, finally. everyone knows that.
that's the difference this time.
and there are too many of us paying close attention now.
The Clintons have more skeletons in the closet and past shameful behavior than the majority of anyone else in congress. So, why do they get free pass after free pass and how in the hell do they create this apatheic, sniveling fear from their collegues?! Somebody, preferably 60 minutes, tell us why this is.
Where'd the center go?
I'll be an idependent next year thank you.
YEE-PEE.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of chutzpah -- I think it's a terrific quality in a President -- and I admit to having respect for her tenacity and her willingness to constantly push the envelope and constantly re-invent herself, but she said what she said and she'll have to take her lumps.
hmmm. Not for me. It is highly unsettling. If my boyfriend kept changing what I think are his core good qualities, I would dtmfa.
I thought it was 2025= ding ding ding *the winner*!!!
How many total delegates are there? Does 2025= 51%? Or more? Anyone know?
Sigh...
Then: "...I welcome a Democratic civil war..."
Finally: "If it takes spending the rest of this year attacking Hillary instead of John McCain, then so be it."
If there's a civil war in the Democratic party, I know where it really started...
Another good note: She's done in the Dem party for good.
