Hillary cannot count the delegates from Michigan without another vote…she was the only person on the ballot.

Hmmm. Wasn’t Michigan an open primary?

Why would that matter? My point was that the two other Dem candidates were not on the ballot.

Hillary ended up winning with 55% of the vote. She was running against “uncommitted”.

How would the DNC proportionally allocate the delegates? Who gets the “uncommitted” votes? Does Hillary expect to take them all?

Unbelievable arrogance…undoubtedly leading an epic fall from grace.

“We’re going to win this nomination,” Ickes said, adding that they would do so soon after the last contest on June 7 in Puerto Rico. “You’re not going to see this go to the convention floor.”

Another Clintonista slime ball speaks out. These people are just unbelievable.

Screw the rules that the party agreed to !
Screw the rules that the two contenders agreed to !
Screw what the people voted for !
Screw anybody who wants to abide by the rules – we will just change them to suit the witch !
Screw Obama !
Screw everybody !

Well Dems – keep it up and you will most assuredly screw yourselves. Have a good time !

BTW, Rush makes about 127 predictions a week, and every week one of them is correct.

Yes, that’s all he does is make 25 predicitions a day…

I really haven’t noticed that he predicts that much, and when he does he’s usually right.

What Ickes said in effect is that the Billary will not accept a decision arrived at by a democratic process. And that everyone that came out to vote in the Donk primaries that voted for someone other than the Billary were wasting their time. Damn frightening. I can only assume that as POTUS the Billary will no longer accept the will of the Congress and the Courts ?

Exactly.

What do you think the voters or Texas and Ohio will think about this? The Hillary camp is all over the place talking about their plans to ignore the voters.

BTW Rush predicted something like this last week.

Selected, not elected.

That’s all I got.

BTW Rush predicted something like this last week.

“We’re going to win this nomination,” Ickes said,

Scary. And once again, Hillary making it obvious that she knows what’s good for us more than we do. And she and her ilk are willing to do literally anything it takes to get what she wants.

Desperation does strange things to people, but to actually let one of your advisers say things like this, publicly, has got to be the most politically suicidal things I have seen in a long time….

If Hillary gets the nomination I think you see a significant number of black voters sit it out.

Bradky on February 16, 2008 at 7:58 PM

Yup, sitting it out is more likely, now that you mention it. I think you’ve convinced me.

petefrt on February 16, 2008 at 7:25 PM

If Hillary gets the nomination I think you see a significant number of black voters sit it out. For most people changing political party affiliation is much like changing religion – that is why I don’t see a mass migration to the GOP if Hill takes it from Obama. Putting a black republican as the VP just doesn’t gain much.

This plan simply isn’t going to work.

Pelosi has already come out publicly against this. Hillary cannot count the delegates from Michigan without another vote…she was the only person on the ballot.

Furthermore, announcing to the world that you could care less about anyone’s votes, before the people that hold your fate in their hands actually vote (Texas, Ohio) is, well, retarded.

The Clinton Era is Over, They are in Denial.

He is also a rather stupid toady slimeball because if Obama should win the popular vote for the nomination and these so-called superdelegates just go right ahead and give the nomination over to Shillary on a silver platter regardless, anyone want to take a guess as to what is going to happen next? You are going to see a split in the Democratic party that will make the splitting of the San Andreas Fault look like a non-event. The Democrats would literally prove to all the nation that as far as what the people want, it doesn’t mean squat to the party leadership. The funny thing is that should that happen, the Democrats can pretty much kiss the black vote they have relied on for so many years goodbye.

In other words, you would see the Democratic Party literally implode on itself before your very eyes.

Not saying that this would be a bad thing, of course.

So go right ahead, Ickes, make your smug little predictions here with that equally smug look on your face.

Then prepare to face the consequences should these superdelegates of yours try to pull something really really really stupid in August.

Bradky on February 16, 2008 at 6:01 PM

I’m not convinced that Steel and J.C. Watts wouldn’t be good choices, if Hil takes it from Obama.

But your point about Ohio’s an important one, too.

It’s just a perfect storm of Democrat Party destruction brewing and there ain’t no way to stop it short of a tragic Carnahan/Wellstone type “accident” befalling Clinton or Obama before the convention.

Buddahpundit on February 16, 2008 at 7:03 PM

I hope Obama has plenty of body guards and wears a bullet-proof vest 24/7. A food tester might not be a bad idea, either.

William Amos on February 16, 2008 at 6:36 PM

I’ve never had a problem with McCain on most fiscal matters, other than his trying to mumble his way through his reasons for opposing the original Bush tax cuts, and that isn’t really a biggy. He needs to deal with the immigration issue in a more detailed, committed fashion, and honestly come to grips with the damage CFR has done, which I doubt he’ll do. He’s never gonna be a conservative favorite, but nevertheless, our best scenario is for Hillary to get the nomination using superdelegates and delegates from Michigan and Florida. The backlash might give him a shot, and if enough disgruntled Obama groupies sit on their hands, we might gain some seats back in Congress.

They will stop the voting after one of the candidates wins enough delegates so some of the super delegates will be off the hook, I guess.

It’s just a perfect storm of Democrat Party destruction brewing and there ain’t no way to stop it short of a tragic Carnahan/Wellstone type “accident” befalling Clinton or Obama before the convention.

Jack Kemp on Hanity and Colmes

KEMP: Sean, I didn’t get into the McCain camp and the campaign until South Carolina. I got in after he lost Michigan and I’m not suggesting I had anything to do with the victory, but I had an opportunity to talk at serious length with John and his team and we made the point that the vote against the capital gain cut in taxes was a mistake. He’s for making it permanent. He’s on the right side of bringing down — we have the highest corporate income tax rate in the world, save only Japan and they’re in a recession. He wants to bring that down. In my view that would also strengthen the U.S. dollar because it would strengthen the demand for the dollar here and around the world. So John is now in my opinion saying things that really have to be said. He’s far more on the side of the supply side, Larry Kudlow, Steve Forbes came on board. I think you’re seeing now, after that CPAC speech a far different attitude from John McCain. I think it’s healthy, more mature, if you can put it that way and he mentioned mistakes and one of the mistakes was McCain-Feingold.

HANNITY: Did he say that to you?

KEMP: No. I told him I thought it was a mistake, though.

KEMP: Alan, I spent four years, I went to Cabini (ph) in Chicago, Richard Allen Public Housing in North Philly, Martin Luther King in Harlem. I never met a poor person in America that was worried about the rich.

They want to get rich. They want to get out of public housing, get a job, get their children a good education and climb the ladder that we call the American dream. They don’t want to soak the rich, and they don’t want income redistribution.

And to add to this, it is only fitting that the Dems, with super-delegates, are now basically saying the Black vote is only worth a fraction of the white vote…oh, the IRONY…

right2bright on February 16, 2008 at 6:23 PM

Oh that is a good observation. Whether true or not, the comparison can definitely be made.
