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.

Sorry for repeating myself. I just like saying it!
I’m waiting for Dandy Don to chime in from Texas, after their primary, with “Turrrn out the lights, the party’s overrr...”.
I can hardly wait!!!
I am simply not buying that argument. Mrs. Clinton is failing now because she is not able to use the most potent weapons in her arsenal. The usual Democrat stand-by of race baiting is lost to her. Obama's "Historical First" trumps hers by a country mile. The Round-Heeled Media, for once, is not going to let her get away with going negative.
But in the General Election, all these constraints would be removed. Mrs. Clinton would release a sh!t-storm the likes we have never seen, and the Round-Heeled Media would back her up every step of the way.
Frankly, I think we lose either way, but I think that we have an outside chance at Bambi if we run a serious national security type campaign. But there is no way to beat Mrs. Clinton once she is running against the eeeeeeevil Republicans.
True. And the next President will probably have his hands full with Iran going nuclear and Russia coming to defend Serbia after the Kosovo/Serbia Border War flares up. That is why the Rino/Dinos may yet decide that McCain would be better. The Dino Hillary was not supposed to fail so miserably, but dang, it sure is a nice sight. Almost felt like we were living in an actual Democracy for a second there :>
Hey, every one of them politicos have talked about getting the dead weight out of Washington for years. Obama is chanting from past speeches and has nothing behind his rhetoric. Will the people figure it out....Half will half won’t
You said it. Exactly how I feel. I hate both of those socialists, but I can't even tolerate hearing her voice(literally, I change the channel, turn down the radio, etc.). At least with Obama, I can listen to how hard he's going to give it to me. 4 years of Hillary will leave me with a "wait, what?" as my paycheck dips by half simply because I can't hear her monotone "yack yack yack YACK YACK YAAACKK YAAAACCK YAAAAAAACK".
Like many other Republicans and independents I voted Obama in Virginia. I know some 17 year olds (will be 18 in Nov) and they all voted anti-Hillary. The challenge now is to wean them off Obama.
