That’s very funny.

This is too easy………

Watch your guy on TV the past two days, Drywall. (You have TV up there in Canada, right? ) Watch how he ‘uuhhhhs’ and ‘aaahhhhs’ and whines and pouts like a little girl

That–along with dropping like a stone in the polls–is ‘reeling’. When the Messian finally got some Real & Consistent opposition, he started to fold like a ratty deck chair

People are giving Hillary Clinton way too much credit. Look, if she is so smart and savvy and influential, why couldn’t she lick someone running just on words and with no backbone (voting present 160 times)?

Because Democrats cannot win without the black vote, not even in the primaries. And we all know who locked up the black vote, don’t we?

I can easily see Biden dropping out for “health reasons”, allowing for a sympathy bounce, lots of Dem-praising puff-pieces and a call out to Hillary to save the party. Setting up the Obama-Clinton ticket with Obama declaring “This isn’t just about one man. . . ” and “There’s no other person I can say I’d rather have on my side at this moment and under these circumstances.”

Would Hillary go for such a scenario over a 2012 slugfest vs. Palin? I dunno.

I would also expect the calls from the bleachers: “LOOK! Biden has to drop out becase at his age, he can’t handle the stress of the job. Now look at how REALLY OLD McCain is. After all, Matt Damon says there’s only a 1 in 3 that McCain will live through his first term and Palin thinks that Dinosaurs ate Adam’s first wife.”

Are we even out of the first act yet? That’s a semi-serious question.

Obama is reeling?

That’s very funny.

“He’s not reeling. Maybe you’re the one who’s reeling. Ever think of that? Huh?”

Yep, a few more days like the past week, and he’ll be looking at an unprecedented 57-state landslide.

rotf lmao!!! So true!

..a high ranking Obama staff member indicated to a Clinton counterpart that they would like Mrs. Clinton to take a more aggressive tack, and that the answer was no.

Because Barry burned that bridge during the primaries.

And that’s just the way we want it. Let’s not awaken a sleeping giant. My worst fear is for the coach to bring her off the bench and into the game.

When my Marine son deployed to Fallujah, I wrote a short note to Gen Peter Pace, also a Marine, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and said pretty much the same thing.

Not even gonna ask how you know that. :-)

“Shame on you, Barack Obama!”

but then, Obama is kinda cash strapped…

every day an e-mail asking for money..

Also heard on Hard Ball last night that Palin has met with Gen Petraus back over the summer. So much for the hope that Gov. Palin would not know anything about forgien policy. Looks like she has been studying for months… McCain looks like it had plans for Palin for months…. Makes you wonder if McCain camp can fool Obama and the media what would a real enemy like Putin do to Obama?

The thing is Palin’s attention to General Patraus is genuine. And so so personal.

Her son is going to war under this man. What mother (or Aunt in my case) would miss the opportunity to look Patraus in the eye and say “the life of my child depends on your competence.”

That is true foreign policy experience.

If you don’t take out the polls, his bufoon VP and the upcoming debates, you’re right!

Yep, I’m hoping we can ride that “joke” all the way to Nov. 5

And don’t forget that one of clintons great friends is Gov Randell of PA. If the Clintons say so I would not be shock of low voter turn out on the dem side come NOV

Stole my thunder. I don’t care what the New Pennsylvania polls say, Obama risked losing that state when he shoved Hillary out of the way.

Maybe Biden’s stance on gun control will help stanch the flow there.

Oh, wait…

Barack the terrorist or Barack the Presidential candidate?

Lipstick on a pig. Priceless.

Payback’s a bitch, ain’t it?

(But then, so is the payee!)

With Obama reeling

Is that an insult against Virginians?

The Democrats have made their bed and now they must lie in it. Despite my earlier irreverent post, they can’t dump the top of the ticket because it would probably cost them the House and they can’t dump Biden.

I’m not so sure they could legally do either at this point anyway. The conventions do have a business purpose beyond funny hats and boring speeches. The Democrats have essentially told the FEC who their candidates are and I’ve got to think that it takes more than low poll numbers to change that. After all, this close to the election all the states and local officials have to finalize their ballots, print them and get ready for November 4th. That would be impossible if a political party could run “Democrat to be named later” on the ticket!

All that being said, Democrats can’t dump Obama even if there was the political will to do so (there isn’t). Too much time and effort has been expended selling Obama as the best the Democrats have to offer. Short of some major reason like incapacitating illness, the Dems have to ride the Obama train all the way over the cliff.
