She’ll destroy the Democrat Party to get what she wants. It’s that simple. After all, her husband didn’t give a hoot about the Party back when he was being impeached. If he had, he would have resigned, and Gore would have easily won re-election in his own right in 2000. But Bill’s ego was more important than the long term viability of his Party, so he shafted them.

Expect her to do the same, or worse. The nuclear option is on the table, and I want some more popcorn.

You mean a Clinton did us all a very great favour? Wow!

WRONG.

The deciding factor will videos on YouTube and other places. Done by ordinary people pissed off at a candidate. Who will make funny, emotional, devastating Lee Atwater type videos of the candidates.

Now, who has the most ammunition for that? Who has done stuff for years that would tick off greatly the middle class, middle income, swing voter? It’s ain’t Maverick. It’s Obama. Rev. God Damn America has natural, and compelling enemies.

Every white person who’s been called racist all their lives for merely existing. Who’s seen special privileges and excuses for everyone else but themselves. Who resents the special status of everyone else and in a recession is tired of that stuff. And now has the tools and technology to say something about it.

If a talk radio guy can put together an effective mashup of Rev. God Damn America and Obama, what could a whole bunch of people do?

The media, professionals, the party apparatus, even fundraising will take a back seat to people making and putting videos on the web, and word of mouth circulating. This is likely to be the first true internet election.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out who would want to vote for her, or why they would want to vote for her. The only “qualification” she has is her last name.

Why not trash the party like she trashed the White House when she thought there was no chance of coming back? Frankly, I hope she does more to the democratic party than stealing some furniture, china, and “W” keys.

The Clinton machine will “release” 2 videos of Obama right before (2 days) the N. Carolina primary.

The first video will show Obama at Trinity Church nodding his head along to one of J.Wrights disgusting rants.

The second will show a young(er) Obama making pro-Palestinean speeches on the South Side of Chicago.

Just you wait, loyal viewers.

Hope for big change in Denver.

Ten million dollars is big change.

A real fraud and crap artist. Otherwise, why would the Slimes hire him?

this analogy would be fair only if Elway and Montana staged their winning drives by convincing half the fans that the other side is evil and that the referees are cheating, while that the game clock is rigged and needs to be extended by 15 minutes under federal court order to give them an fair unscrupulous chance to win).

Limerick should be taken very seriously. Anything else is whistling in the dark.

Agreed to a point. You are not suggesting that the recent events and continued in-fighting in the Democratic primary is hurting McCain’s chances, are you?

The problem is the Clintons at best only control about one-third of the big media outlets right now; the rest is leaning towards Obama (as opposed to your average election they’ve been involved in, where outside of Fox, you could expect fawning coverage for Bill and Hillary in the 80-90 percent range). That means that while they still are in better position to get their attacks against Barak out into the media, they don’t have the ability to create a “firestorm” about a trivial issue against Obama.

If they have some new future dirt to release, it has to be the real thing to gain the type of traction Hillary needs to cause the Obama campaign to collapse among the superdelegates In contrast, the Clinton campaign can’t collapse among that group until the final vote is counted, because the top Democrats (and many Republicans) see them as the John Elway and Joe Montana of the Democratic Party, being able to pull victory from the jaws of defeat in virtually any situation (of course, this analogy would be fair only if Elway and Montana staged their winning drives by convincing half the fans that the other side is evil and that the referees are cheating, while that the game clock is rigged and needs to be extended by 15 minutes under federal court order to give them an fair chance to win).

Hillary is the Democratic Party’s very undemocratic primary system’s chickens Clintons coming home to roost.

Fixed

Hillary will run as an Independent. She will not be denied.

Given the way Herself! and her creatures are pushing the envelope of propriety, that’s always possible. Think of it this way:

If I can’t be Queen of the Socialist States of Amerika, No Democrat will be corronated!

Even critics of superdelegate deals tend to underestimate the gravity of the issue. In its very essence, the superdelegate system is unconstitutional. It destroys the right of primary voters to choose their own nominee. It offends the principle of one person one vote. In three primary cases (Nixon v. Herndon, 1927, Nixon v. Condon, 1932, Smith v. Allwright, 1944) the Supreme Court affirmed that the right to vote in a primary (a right which includes the right to be counted and respected), is protected by the Constitution. Officials cannot legally circumvent the vote. These were discrimination cases, but the arguments apply directly to the superdelegate situation in the Democratic primary.

Oh yes, there is one small practical consideration, an afterthought perhaps. If the superdelegates, in their arrogance, defy the majority will of the voters, the stain on the Democratic Party nominee-Obama or Clinton-would nearly destroy the chances for victory in November. The Party would be divided. Idealistic voters would be disillusioned. And McCain, who happens to be associated with electoral reform (McCain backed Arizona’s Clean Money system) could easily turn superdelegate meddling into a scandal. The Republican Party has no superdelegates.

The Democratic Party created their own nightmare years ago which is what is “coming home to roost”. We may be witnessing the eventual death of the superdelegate. Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of Prima-donnas consumed in conceit.

Why? I want the bloody trench warfare to continue as long as possible! The vicious infighting is doing the Republicans work for them, and that’s a good thing.
