Obama '08! Now more than ever!
a thread dealing with the REAL presidental race.
thank god, I was starting to think we wouldn't get around to mcsame/Obama until October... thanks to what'shername.
what was her name anyway, I've already forgotten... shrillary? shillary? billary?... woman in very comfortable shoes?

On the other hand if he does not put her on the ticket she will make sure all of her supporters vote for McCain. She ran a poor campaign and now the rest of us are paying for it. I still see her having to be drug kicking and screaming off of the stage in Denver. And Bill will be getting redder and redder and waggin' that famous finger at us.
Hillary is to blame for all of her problems. But she is never going to say she is sorry for her part in dividing the party. She never says she is sorry for anything. She is a hateful person and she will not get respect from me.
see http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2008...
But not to worry, it's not going to rub off on Hillary.... Naw... No way. ..
Bill just can't seem to stop the little head from doing the thinking for the big head.
Bill only does that with interns.
With Obama as the nominee, we're doomed. I'm sure you'll all find some way to blame Hillary when he loses.
I know we have all had a lot of dislike for Hillary's campaign, but I do commend her for fighting for people who are poor and people who need help with work, wages, and education. I hope that Hillary will continue this fight in the Senate, and if Obama feels she can continue this fight in some capacity in his administration then I hope he offers her a position in the cabinet. I just dont agree with some of the things she has said, it doesnt make her an evil or bad person.
Stand both of them side-by-side, McSame represents all the failure of the past, Sen. Obama represents the hope and dreams of a better tomorrow for all Americans. McSame represents additional revenue for the Glorious Military Industrial Complex and 100 additional years of continuous war, death and destruction.
The choice is easy. The past or the future.

If Obama wins the Democratic nomination...then where do you consider your loyalties to lie? With the Party? With the country? Or with Clinton? Because by the look of things, that's the choice you may have to make. We've already had to spend the last seven-odd years dealing with a megalomaniac in the White House who perceives his own ego as being more important than the greater good of the country -- and with all due respect, I don't see how putting your loyalty to Clinton above your loyalty to the Party and to the country makes you much different from the Bush supporters who support his agenda come Hell or high water. If you consider your loyalty to Clinton more important than your loyalty to Party or country, this *will* split the party and McCain *will* win as a result. Do you really believe that this country is in need of change or not? We won't get it with McCain -- that much is crystal clear -- and any changes we do get (such as the potential overturn of Roe vs. Wade, perhaps) are only likely to benefit a minority. Yes, Obama's victory against McCain is by no means in the bag -- but if you allow Clinton to split the party, both Obama and Clinton *will* lose. Is that what you really want?
Please remember, too, that in lots of recent elections large portions of a party have sat on their hands rather than support a candidate they disliked. This is what happened in 1968 with Humphrey, it happened in 1972 with McGovern, and in 1980 with Carter. I guarantee with the bitterness of this primary contest - a bitterness in part engendered by blogs like this one -lots of Hillary's supporters would rather have four years of McCain so their heroine can run again in 2012 than Obama. "It's not business, Sonny, it's personal!"
Why do I say this about Indiana? They've gone Dem in a presidential election precisely once since '36, in LBJ's landslide in '64. It went Dewey in '44 and Wilkie in '40 (Favorite son, but still). Yes, three House seats swung in the mid-terms in '06 from GOP to Dem, and yes Obama is a Senator from next door. But as we used to say growing up, we were 100 miles and 50 years from Chicago; Indiana is the birthplace of the modern Klan, and those Dem pickups in '06 were by Blue Dogs. I'd love to see it, but if Obama carries Indiana, then throw in Missouri, Ohio and Virginia and the rout is on.
Hillary on the other hand won enough swing states and states that matter to easily have beaten McCain.
You are now hoping that Hillary's supporters will back Obama, it will not happen, Obama is on his own now. You will now see Obama has no chance against McCain.
are you suggesting all those democrats who voted democrat all their lives and supported Hillary are going to vote for McSame?
do you really think those people are that dumb?
In many of the primaries, the second-place Democrat got more votes than the first-place Republican did.
Of course it's true, it's true until Aug. 2008
