Please allow me a dose of hardened market realism concerning Obama's landslide victory in Wisconsin. The race is over. Hillary is finished. The Clinton Restoration is over.
President Bill Clinton's political invincibility is over. Hillary's electability is over. Obama got to the far Left faster than she did. He out organized her in the precincts. He out fundraised her. He out speechified her. He out-hustled her. He out-dressed her. He out-presidentialed her. He outdid her and he outbid her for votes, one promised government check at a time.
A 15-point margin in Wisconsin is incredible. Wisconsin is a lot like Ohio except for the wacko ultra-Left Madison college population, which is even worse that Columbus's Ohio State. But there are so many campuses in Ohio that will go for Obama that it is no matter. Think faculty voters, grimly determined for a left-wing takeover of America " from the bottom up" to use the former Saul Alinsky community organizer's phrase. As goes Wisconsin, so goes Ohio.

You said it. While I love seeing the clintons go down, we’ll sit this one out at our peril. We have to go and vote even though McCain was not the first choice. Save the Republic.
You are spot on... unfortunately.
I agree to that probability, though not an inevitability. The House is closer to the people than any other, and one has a good chance of keeping and electing solid red state representatives.
It isn't Obama's coattails that will hinder us, but McCain's lack thereof.
You have the BEST tagline I've seen in a long time here. THANK YOU and keep repeating it!
nutmeg (NOT a Republican "Suicide Voter")
answers? with obama there are no questions.
we’d still have either an old white guy or a rich white guy or an evangelical white guy versus CHANGE HOPE DREAM
If Obama wins, America will learn the hard way for abandoning experience and the wisdom of our elders, the free market capitalist system and the traditional moral values that guided this country from its foundation.
Hear it? I'm ready to vote for him. He promised everything but the kitchen sink.
I was just kidding about voting for him. He scares me more that Hillary does.
He was in Houston tonight at the Reliant Center and he had those sheep whipped up into a frenzy.
I'm not crazy about McCain but he would be alot better than Obama or Hillary and we had to get a Republican Controlled Congress again.
I'm going to be working my butt off for my republican candidates.
Hillary just lost Hawaii 3 to 1. That is 10 defeats in a row.
Your latter statement disproves your former. If he really is THAT far left (MUCH to the left of a Marxist Hiltlery?) the EASIER he will be to beat in November. Unless, of course, you believe that mainstream Americans are as far left as he is.
it really depends on how big obama’s win is. I think hillary will make the road until the convention a very long nasty war of attrition and we have to be patient.
Believe me, if the Clintons can fire it at him, it would have already been used. They will throw anything, and the kitchen sink, to tear him down.
By the time Hillary is out, he will be fully immunized.
yeah...hillary can’t place ads such as “Obama will raise your taxes” since she also wants to raise your taxes.
Those of us in the reality-based community need to remind those caught up in the moment... ;)
<p.Nah- It is al over but the crying. If Wisconsin is an indication of Ohio, she will be spanked so soundly that there will be no way forward. She may easy lose Texas too.
And SO MANY others who were purged from FR (or who left forever in disgust) last April...
you have to be desperate to employ the nuclear option and I think that she is at that point now. They are now ‘finding out’ that negative ads work and Mark Penn may finally get his way now (he wanted to go negative earlier but was overruled).
Hah, I was just about to say that, you took the words right out of my mouth. And as ridiculous as it sounds, it may be true... not that conservative voters wanted to lose, but it seems that the powers-that-be, including the media, pushed McCain on us, to ensure a Dem victory.
In fact, others will call it a kooky conspiracy theory, but what I discussed on this thread is something that an outspoken globalist (Clinton's mentor, Carrol Quigley) wrote about years ago, that one way to achieve their agenda is to take control of both political parties. And when we look at where we're at now, perhaps people should take another look at what the socialist/globalist enemy admitted, because it sure as hell looks like what he said has come to fruition.
AMEN. Please keep it up 'til election day...
she still wants michigan and florida. I just don’t see her as a gracious loser, especially if she feels obama didn’t earn it.
I know. But at this point it will be seen as an unfair attack, further destroying her, but immunizing him in the process. He is as slick as they come, and way better than Bubba, in that he uses a silver tongue rather than resorting to a lie.
The only thing that can knock him down is one who is as brilliant an orator with a better line of intellectual goods to peddle.
Many people disingenuously knock Dr. Keyes for losing to this guy, but I think it is becoming quite apparent to everyone why that happened.
The best she will get there is a do-over. Even the DNC is not so stupid as to try to hand her those votes, and she will lose in court for anything but a do-over. In that case, she might keep Florida, but I doubt she would keep Michigan. Considering the tidal wave of support for Obama, it would likely only make her look worse.
