Bush Officially Kicks Off GOP's Sleaze Campaign

The news media have been calling Hillary a pimp a bitch a .......... you name it and none of my left wing friends rose up to defend her. Iron my shirt and Hillary nut crusher not to mention black people wearing "the hud against the ho" t shirts were all used by Obama fans and suddenly President Bush is lowering the tone. Give me a break. Believe me and I am a Democrat who canvassed for Bobby Kennedy but the hostility of Obama fans matches in gutter politics anything I have seen from Bush's crowd.

HORSERACE

Kennedy Went to the 1980 Convention Trailing By 756 Delegates

Fun Foreshadowing Fact of the Day: In 1980, Ted Kennedy came into the Democratic convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City with 1,225 delegates to President Carter's 1,981 and 122 uncommitted.

If Kennedy could take it to the convention when he trailed by 756 delegates, Hillary can go to the convention trailing by her current 150 or so. posted 05/07/2008 at 20:59:21

Can Hillary Really Win?

The Democratic Party machine in all the major states voted for Hillary. Most recently in Pennsylvania the party machine supported Hillary . That is one reason why she won there.Newly registered voters are not the Democratic Party.If the super delegates intend to vote for Obama after all of this then they will be discounting the Party. (they should have made a statement before now if they intend to support Obama)The Super Delegates have one task if neither get enough delegates to clinch the nomination and one task only. To pick the candidate most likely to win in November.That is their one and only task.If their choice wins the presidency then the task of uniting the party will be the Presidents job.If their candidate loses then both the party and the super delegates will have a hell of a job to clean up the mess them make by picking a candidate who cannot beat McCain. A tough job they have so bear with them. posted 04/26/2008 at 16:12:05
