My predicition: Huckabee gets his own daytime talk show, Huckabee! It'll be a Christian alternative to Maury. And it'll be awesome.
Ick.
Once again Clinton proved that she can win the big swing states that Democrats need to win in order to take the White House. This race will continue on and Obama and Clinton will be at it for some time to come.
Clinton wins Texas too!
puhlease.
Hillary proved that she will burn this motherfucker down to further HER agenda. Fuck the Democrats and their chances in the general--she has escalated things into full blown scorcehd earth mode.
It sucks, and it's going to leave a dent in us come November. But at the same time, I know that Barack will win because it's written all over the wall in the form of the delegate math. And I'm perfectly fine with Barack sharpening his teeth on the Clintons. He's going to have to stoop to her level in some sense and I'm confident he'll find a way to do it and still remain the cool cat that he is.
Because at the end of the day, he's the better politician. Clinton has been in full-tilt crisis mode throughout her poorly run campaign. If the way she has run her campaign is any indication, she would make an awful president.
Throwing the kitchen sink at someone and parsing your words about whether or not they're secretly a muslim infiltrator while simultaneously playing on national security fears is straight out of the Bush/Cheney/Rove playbook. And I'm honestly not suprised that people in Texas and Ohio fell for that. And for what it's worth, Rush Limbaugh called on the GOP foot soldiers to cross over in Ohio and vote for Hillary. And worth even more is the fact that Obama closed a massive gap in Texas, where Hillary barely squeaked by.
Clinton is toast. She just doesn't know it yet. This is all too little too late. The math will never work for her and the superdelegates aren't about to steal victory from Obama.
Never happen.
inebriated, but...
i predict election fraud — just like the supposed 'irregularities' in NH and NV. if we've learned anything about the clintons over the past 15 years, it's that they have the base and know how to play the game.
which = advantages in old-school Dem, establishment states (i.e. CA, NY, OH, RI, MA, and now TX apparently)
In the end, I suppose the lesson is this: fighting the status quo is f'ing hard. it's a reality check, but keep fighting.
but i digress.
I'm noticing that the news this morning is "Hillary Wins!", but the fact Obama may have won more delegates is buried deep down in the story, if mentioned at all.
The thing that saddens me about the outcome is that it's being spun that Hillary's going negative is what gave her the wins. Oh joy. :/
Finally, is this really that unexpected? The reason Bill Clinton said his wife must win Texas and Ohio was because she had such a huge base in those states, and her loss there would indicate a huge collapse in her campaign. As it is, Hillary did what was expected, but not by any huge amount.
My biggest concern at this point is that Barack and Hillary will destroy each other over the next 9 weeks. And the Democrats definitely do not need that.
As the NY Post says: Hill Yeah!
My girl is going all the way.
i wonder if clinton supporters even give a shit about methods she used to win elections.
unfortunately for obama, he's running a clean campaign but hey, 'experience' matters while you're campaigning...
Your "girl" is going to go all the way and lose.
