As my wife points out, this is only an interim period in American politics. Whoever wins will be a one-termer. McCain is too old. Obama would get voted out, and Hillary would make 2010 congressionals a repeat of 1994. 2012 is the real campaign.

Once a mob is whipped up into a frenzy, it's too late.

Which is why I advise my friends that the minimum loadout for home protection includes a handgun, shotgun, semi-auto rifle, and several thousand rounds of ammo plus plenty of mags

Why does this sound a lot like “we’re moving to Canada if...blah, blah, blah...”

“It really looks bad for the Dems right now. I can’t believe they are doing this.”

I can...
It’s the “New Left” versus those that “Bought and Paid For” the Party with the New Left’s money.

It’s really a fight between TWO SEPERATE PARTY’s. The Democrats, and the Shadow Party.

Just as I said before. If clintoon gets the nomination the blacks will walk, and if the messiah gets the nomination, hillary backers will walk.

It looks like a no win situation for either candidate.

IMHO the clintoons are all washed up. They are what you say, no longer relevant.

Nope, I can’t take that bet. Because I have a sneaking suspicion you’re right!

Sadly, the blacks will vote exactly how the Democrat LEADERS TELL THEM TO!!!

Sadly? More like - Funny! The Democratic party, which kept and fought for slavery, instituted Jim Crow laws, hamstrung civil rights laws and continues to revere a former Klansman as their archetypal senior Senator, will always get 90% of the black vote.

Why? Because race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Charlie Rangle say the word, the black community revert to the largest pen of sheeple in the country.

Hmmm. You are right, that IS sad...

“Obama really won Texas. He will receive more delegates than Hillary”

For Democrats and thier voters, MEDIA PERCEPTION matters far more than actual fact.

And we have seen so, so many examples of this in the past.

Perceptions won't change the delegate counts. And Obama will add two more victories today in WY and MS on Tuesday padding his delegate count further essentially giving him the same lead he had before the Texas, Ohio, RI, and VT primaries. Obama will also win big in NC, which has 115 delgegates compared to PA's 158.

The real question is why is Hillary still in the race knowing full well she will be trailing in the pledged delegates and popular vote going into the convention. It is hubris and selfishness.

I'm going to stock up on popcorn for Denver. This could get really good.

Indeed, this may be more than the ol' microwave can handle. Better go commercial-grade...

Because the Machine behind her already has invetsed MILLIONS in her, with the promise of a return of BILLIONS for them.

And they have several months to destroy Obama’s reputation before the convention comes around.

THIS is why we voted for Hillary on March 4th. Seven weeks of this mayhem—and maybe more! It’s wonderful to behold. Over on DailyKos, nasty skirmishes are breaking out in every thread. The seeds have been sown. “1968 Redux” is in the cards. Rejoice!

if Obama gets the nomination every black around this country will be voting some more than once and you can guarantee that if he loses the election blacks will be rioting and crying about how they have been supressed, how racism is alive, how the poor black man is trodden on again
bla bla bla
that news will be around the world

The amount of blacks I have seen interviewd or I have asked who say I am voting because he is black is unbelievable

Imagine whites saying I’m voting because he is white, the cries of racism would be heard aroiund the world , that person wound end up losing his job, libs would tarbget his home, his family , his car etc etc

Anyway now we have the black man running does this mean we now can get rid of this racist policy of affirmative action.

This just shows why affirmative action is not needed

I just hope the journalists , the media etc will start raising this question up.

They can only destroy him with some real facts and that could be counterproductive for Hillary in the general election. Blacks, the Dems most loyal constituency, will not turnout for Hillary and destroying Obama effectively removes him from being the VP nominee. I just don't see the Dem party committing political suicide by overturning the results at the ballot box and stealing the election for the Clintons over the black guy. Such an action would not only affect this election, but future ones.
