		<description>Seems like a lot of Democrat voters wanted to avoid the Misadventures of BJ Clinton and Wife in the White House, Part III, so they latched onto the Great Black Hope who talked a slicker game than Slick Willie himself, dominating caucuses and racking up delegates in such liberal bastions(?) as Kansas and North Dakota, until he turned out to be a socialist hatemonger from the Daley machine. Wasn&#039;t this what the superdelegates were designed to avoid? 

If they were smart, they could avoid disaster by throwing the nomination to Hillary, but since Obama won more pledged delegates, that makes the Democratic party look un-democratic. Besides, are Democrats smart?</description>

		<description>It is apparent to me that the Demoncrate Convention in June featuring &quot;Bitter&quot; (Hitlery) v. &quot;Sweet&quot; (Obama) is going to be as famous as A Wrestlemania Cage Match.</description>

This will be the most complete collection of stupid, vain, criminal, corrupt and incompetent idiots in all of history.  

This must be recorded.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not by any means going to predict a certain GOP victory in November, but the Dems are screwed either way.  Hillary stays in, Obama loses the general - they blame her for making the process more fractious and giving them less time to &quot;unite&quot; for the general.  Hillary drops out and Obama loses the general - she blames him saying he had too many &quot;vulnerabilities&quot; in the general.  This is fun.</description>

		<description>The Clinton campaign is too obvious in its attacks and strategy.  When this is all over you will find that by far the dirtiest fighter is Obama and his Obamites.  He has a history (not that anyone would know).</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;They can make their call at the preconvention, but the &lt;strong&gt;rules for the party can’t be changed &lt;/strong&gt;until the actual convention, which makes the entire effort pointless.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Who says?  Since when did the democrats follow rules?

That&#039;s better.</description>

		<description>For the last [how many] years it was obvious that the leadership of the democrat party was putting party interests ahead of the national interest.

Now we see that those same party leaders are putting personal interest ahead of party interest.

&quot;Never saw that coming.&quot;</description>

		<description>Given how the Dimocrats have structured their nomination process, is there any wonder they lost in 2000 and 2004?
Is there any wonder that their people can&#039;t follow a ballot that they themselves designed?

&quot;We are the Democratic Party, come join us in irrelevance.&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve gotta think that herding superdelegates into a premature decision is a lot like herding cats.  Possible in principle but impossible in practice.  

Let&#039;s keep in mind that the &quot;superdelegates&quot; are the party faithful of a party in complete disarray because the special interests are colliding with the impact of tectonic plates rearranging themselves.  The only outcome of this &quot;special&quot; convention would be a brokered shotgun wedding with Obama and Clinton on the same ticket in an order to be hashed out by the Superdelegates. This would be a tacit admission that the whole primary system was flawed and wouldn&#039;t actually resolve anything.  Whichever wannabe would be placed at the bottom of the ticket still has supporters who would resent the deal brokered by &quot;super&quot; few.  

The GOP was far more efficient when it told  a huge portion of its&#039; base to &quot;f**k off&quot; and get lost.  The downside for the GOP, of course, is that their strategy is based on appealing to the ideologic enemy rather than looking for grass roots support.  If Triceratops wins, he will have very little support among his base.  The more he panders to the left, the more the fact that he is a political traitor will be exposed.  My prediction for McCain (at best) one term wonder compared to Jimmy Carter and GHW Bush in terms of leadership.</description>

But not to worry, the Dems have their Super Delegates standing by to correct the mistakes made by the voting public.</description>

		<description>This is fun.  The count every vote and make sure every vote counts people have decided that the rules are inconvenient.  So they have decided to play Calvin Ball.  AKA &quot;Rules?!?  We doan&#039; need no steenkin&#039; rules!!!&quot;  John Leo thought up a great name for this years ago - the victimhood sweepstakes. 

This really was predictable.  The logical outcome of identity politics was a contested election between groups who have been favored by the Democratic Party as groups with grievances.  So who claims to be the most victimized?  It should surprise no one that a group which has claimed to be entitled to special treatment due to its certified victim (TM) status would simply argue that the group was owed the presidency.  That seems to be what is driving much of the most vocal Clinton supporters.  And, to some extent, some of the most militant people Obama is trying to appeal to are equally devoted to the concept that they are &#039;owed&#039; by society.  Ed Kaitz has written a nice piece on this on the American Thinker - look for &quot;Obama&#039;s Anger.&quot;  

The Democratic Party seems to be returning to the days of smoke filled rooms,and party bosses selecting the candidates.  The votes are not being counted.  Let&#039;s be honest,and admit it.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is fun.  The count every vote and make sure every vote counts people have decided that the rules are inconvenient.  So they have decided to play Calvin Ball.  AKA &#8220;Rules?!?  We doan&#8217; need no steenkin&#8217; rules!!!&#8221;  John Leo thought up a great name for this years ago &#8211; the victimhood sweepstakes. </p>
<p>This really was predictable.  The logical outcome of identity politics was a contested election between groups who have been favored by the Democratic Party as groups with grievances.  So who claims to be the most victimized?  It should surprise no one that a group which has claimed to be entitled to special treatment due to its certified victim (TM) status would simply argue that the group was owed the presidency.  That seems to be what is driving much of the most vocal Clinton supporters.  And, to some extent, some of the most militant people Obama is trying to appeal to are equally devoted to the concept that they are &#8216;owed&#8217; by society.  Ed Kaitz has written a nice piece on this on the American Thinker &#8211; look for &#8220;Obama&#8217;s Anger.&#8221;  </p>

		<description>It A super delegate &#039;primary&#039; would be to protect the supers from individual retribution; and would given the Clintons the advantage in &lt;a href=&quot;http://datatroll.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/super-delegates-bribery-blackmail-extorsion-oh-my/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the superdelegate buying spree&lt;/a&gt;.

Exit question: what is the average cash value of the political bribery/extortion/blackmail that will be thrown at the supers to get their vote?  My guess would be in the 200K range.</description>

		<description>This tells me a couple of things.

1. They know that Hillary will not sit down and shut up like a good little girl.

2. They know if she pushes a credential fight it will make last weekends Texas caucuses look like a tea party.

3. The &quot;owners&quot; of the Democratic party (moveon.org, George Soros and the rest of the &quot;usual suspects&quot;) along with the Democratic party leadership &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; Obama to be the nominee. Obama matches their political mindset-an anti American Marxist who loves the Islamofascists (he gets extra points for being black &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; a racist). They want the convention to be more like a Nuremberg party rally then a true exercise in Democracy. In simpler terms they want a coronation and propaganda event. Most importantly as it stands now they could lose a sizable chunk of voters no matter who is the nominee-they are hoping a placid and &quot;unified&quot; convention will stop the bleeding. It won&#039;t.

4. They &lt;em&gt;know&lt;/em&gt; that by the time the convention rolls around a good portion of Obama&#039;s dirty laundry will be out of his baggage for all to see. Most of the super delegates are no fools and they will know by that time that Obama is a disaster in the making and will drag the rest of the Dem ticket down to defeat. The likelihood of them giving Hillary the nomination is high. 

5. The convention stands a very good chance to be a true riot-both inside and outside the convention hall. There is no way the MSM can cover that up. They know they managed to squeak in a Dem majority in the congress and senate in 2006 by trying to look moderate and reasonable. A full blown 1968 freak show would blow that one out of the water.

I have taken the week of the convention off to enjoy the show.</description>

		<description>Contrary to Susan Estrich’s, and other liberal luminaries’ assertions, the left doesn’t have two strong and simpatico candidates, it has one vacuously transparent and inexperienced one, and one who’s a known misanthropic lying witch.

Makes it hard to decide. Self-made fork. Which road to take? Psychologists/psychiatrists, prepare yer couches.</description>

		<description>I have watched a lot of presidential elections.  My first vote at 21 was for Nixon.  This has got to be the wierdest I&#039;ve personally seen.  It&#039;s been wierd on both sides.  I dub this one, &quot;The Season of the Witch&quot;.
  You could kinda see it shaping up with the shrieking left moving into the forefront and staying there for 6 yrs.  They really did sieze mo in the dem party.  The conservatives laid down for Bush because the supported the war and let him off the hook on the domestic side resulting in a lose of conservative power within the party.  By the time the primaries showed up, Conservatives were in such disaray they were claiming anyone who wasn&#039;t McCain a conservative.  Some went for the moderate to lefty Romney, some went with the should have been kicked in the butt, Huckabee.  Anyway, no leadership.</description>
