Look, just the mention of her name to the Republicans, is like ringing a bell to a Pavlovian dog -- the revultion is instantaneous and predictable. Any placement of the Clinton name on a ballot -- prez, VP, or even dog-catcher -- is guaranteed to be a drag on the ticket that will make Dukakis' loss in '88 look mild by comparison.
And now the Clintons are trying to convince everyone that they deserve to be handed the nomination thru a torturous exercise in mental gymnastics that completely turns logic on its head --even tho Obama has proven that more people will vote (and HAVE voted) for him than her, THEY should be the nominees simply b/c they are the reigning monarchs of the party, damnit!
It's the old, liars-can-figure-and-figures-can-lie game that Bill believes he is master of. And, Hillary, being the egomaniacal slug that she is, is perfectly willing to go along with the gag as long as it validates her place in history, as the Clintons have written it.
It is no surprise that the superdelegates either cannot or will not see the hand-writing on the wall, but it is pitiable, nonetheless.
This is getting too real, tho.

As an aside, I know some people in health care, and they're telling me they're having trouble getting just the basic stuff for their hospitals. They're just told "it's a global market now, and you can't get supplies as quickly as you used to." And, of course, we all know about fuel.
Things are getting weird.
If I never see the Clintons again, that will be a good day.

Always seems like on all those shows, there's more Clinton guests than Obama guests. I always wonder if that's something lacking in Obama's campaign.
We heard about it here from John too, when he said the Edwards and Clinton people were always in touch with the bloggers, but they never heard from the Obama people.
Of course, the Clinton people were so obnoxious to the bloggers that they may have done more harm than good, but I still wonder if some kind of outreach mechanism is lacking in the Obama campaign.
(And I'm not even talking about the fact that you always see Hillary on the networks on the Eve of a big primary and the day after, but rarely Obama.)
What's up with that?
Bush has turned us into the old Soviet Union.
------------------------------
nope,first THE CORPORATE MEDIA will DISPENSE WITH OBAMA,next up,they will devour the CLINTONS,guess who emerges un scaithed?
Obama's just running out the clock.
Everybody gets all excited when Hillary hits an occasional three.
But she's behind by 15 with a minute left.

I still haven't decided whether McCain with an OVERWHELMINGLY DEMOCRATIC congress might not be better than Hillary in the White House.
You know Hillary would lose Congress, just like Bubba did. Hillary in the White House with a Repub Congress is a scary thought.
------------------------
they are both VERY SLIMEY liars
we NEED to do better
forget the corporate media,and spread the word to friends and family,at the grocery and at the pump,WE NEED CHANGE
They kept asking if Obama could win over her supporters, those blue collar workers, who it seems prefer McCain over Obama, but hardly anyone in the media reversed that and asked if Pinnochio could win over the black votes.
The Clintons have changed that goal post, again and again, to suit their desperate attempts to win this, and it is getting tiresome and old.
Here is a good article from P.M. Carpenter.
It speaks about Hillary's negativity, which no one seems to be discussing in the media.

You have degenerated into another Clinton bashing blog - Hannity and BillO would be proud of you -

I feel sorry for the people who really can't afford to be giving to a political campaign but are just now giving to the Hillary campaign.
There is an ick factor that I can't describe.
It's almost like a "Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker " kind of sham.
Those 2 knew they were asking for money that wasn't really going to be used in the proper way.
Sorry, but it's how I feel.
.
As for Hillary, just say no.
That also annoyed me. The msm took Clinton's talking points and ran with them all damn day. I will say that I was disappointed that the Obama campaign did not strongly and loudly refute Clinton. Right now it is hard to determine if the msm is pulling an Edwards and freezing out any response from the Obama campaign or if the Obama campaign was just more or less silent.
Rove's fat piggy fingers are in every mess aren't they?

The Rethugs just don't dig too deeply, do they?
My my my
Rove is involved.
my my my
Glad to know he's not shrinking from the criticism being leveled at him from the rightwing nutjobs. (Just saw one of those shitty ads from the NC Rethugs on CSPAN--that one used his "goddamn America" phrase, by itself and out of context, of course.)
imagine, Bill and Hillary, the Jim and Tammy Faye Baker of politics
My, my that Rove has been a busy fellow. First his involvement in the Alabama governor's case and now this. Wouldn't it be nice if someone in the Dem party started investigating Rove's apparent running the Justice department.
Hillary is suppose to be coming to my city on Friday and since this is a military town she's bringing some big shot former Joint chiefs....like that's gonna help her here. The city didn't bother when she sent Billery out here three weeks ago, who the heck cares if she's out here this week. Don't these people get it, WE DON'T LIKE YOU - STAY AWAY YOU'RE MAKING US ALL SICK.
