Very close and on the money!!

Hill, tell me... why can't I be on top?

Well, Barack, the last time you were on top... you knocked my fat a$$ up!

Re: Very close and on the money!!

Gadzooks! And I just wanted... to be on top!

Hussein is a young guy, and he would do a much better job of preserving his political viability by serving a few more years in the Senate.

His modus operandi is to create cultish hysterical following that does not care for any substance (and neither for the consequences). This method has a drawback of being once in lifetime chance; it's now or never. In 2012 he will be laughed out of primaries if he attempts the same style of campaign (and he has nothing else). If he just returns to Senate he might as well forget about his ambition to be US President.

Hill/Bill cynical? Nah...desperate is more like it....

Hey! Obambi, take the "political hit" (and live to tell about it)...Its' far better than what ('Toons: "Our Very dear friends") Ron Brown / Vince Foster got.
FWIW: Its' unlikely that; $hrillary, will give him (Obambi) any real power/responsibilities....Its' Bubba "turn" to the co-president spot (& many more interns :)....result: Obambi=algore

Good one!

Sport's Illustrated just came out with a gem of an issue on Brett Favre, and his retirement.

We are missing him already in Packerland.

There was a lot of bantering back and forth a few days ago on FR about Brett.

He played for the love of the game, and was exciting to watch. His consecutive games played I don't think will ever be equaled.

the Clintons may be seeking the upper hand,

That is a side splitter,LOL

I agree with you it is absolute desperation.

Hillary will get her ass whipped again on Tuesday in Mississippi. There is no way she can make much of a dent in Obama's pledged delegate lead of about 140. All she can do is try to create the impression that she is winning by changing the criteria for measuring success.

Now pledged delegates don't matter, it is which states you win and the closeness of the popular vote. Clinton actually trails in the popular vote by more than 600,000 if you subtract MI and FL. If you included FL and not MI [Obama was not on the ballot], she still trails by 300,000.

Hillary points to some of her big state wins like NY and CA, but the truth is that both states will go Dem regardless of who is the nominee. Her "victory" in Texas [a red state] was actually a loss since Obama received more delegates. The Clintons spin and spin but the math doesn't change as the number of primaries grows smaller and the number of available delegates decline.

The Dem Party [read super delegates] must decided if they want to overturn the results at the ballot box and steal the election from the black guy to give it to the Clintons. I don't think the Dems will commit political suicide and alienate its most loyal constituency for this election and many more to come.

Where’s the pitchfork???

Mrs. Clinton did indeed make a comeback...

Only to the Sheeple. She gained, what, 11 delegates net? Out of a margin of over 100. And that got cut a bit in Wyoming on Saturday. (he got two more delegates than she did, but won 61% to her 38% of the popular vote of only 8760 votes total) Texas turned out to be a wash, at best, rather than a win for Hillary. She did win in Ohio, and Rhode Island (big whoop!).

This was the plan from the start: put a smooth talkin', come to meetin', inexperienced, no depth, unelectable black, who could 'fire-up' the troops', in a position to challenge Hillary.(the rope-a-dope)

Then, if things go wrong and he get's too uppitty (as negroes are inclined to do once off the plantation) take him down the way they've have others since Arkansas- dirt, lots-o-dirt [find a clean Chicago politician if you can].

Problem is, they don't want to tarnish him enough to be unsalable as a VP.

Her mission (which she accepted) was to deliver the blue collar, union, women, lesbians, thespians, gays, victims, and the older Dem voter. His mission (which he sold out to) was to deliver the youth vote which she had no capacity to.

See, this powermad duo was prepared to take down Thomas Jefferson and George Washington- had they been on the Rep ticket. Watch for Obama to fold (he's acted superbly up to this point) in the upcoming weeks. The gender glass ceiling gets broken before the minority glass ceiling. Obama's comfortable pushing her fat ass through first- as long as he's next.

[El Gato]

Act of desperation, why would Obama agree to be a vice when he can not lose now, all he needs to do is to hang on and not make a stupid move.

Health reasons? It's still not clear where the SuperDelegates will truly go. He's young, win or lose, as VP, he can run again.

The Clintons to Obama: “Thanks for paying your fare... your seat’s at the back of the bus”.

Hillarys thinks obama world make a nice, House Butler, and in his spare time he could oversee the lawn mowing.

It was a win for Obama. He will win more total delegates once the caucus procedure is done.

[ncalburt]

The Clinton are working a new strategy to win over the super delegates in a dead locked convention .They are showing that they are the uniters and want what is best for the evil DNC but Obama is selfish and would destroy the party.

In the spirit of the NFL, I... too, will miss... old Brett!

He never beat the Cowboys... in Texas Stadium!

[kabar]

The Clintons are mentioning a Clinton/Obama ticket to put Obama in a box. They are sending a signal to the super delegates and the voters in the upcoming primaries that Hillary will accept Obama on the ticket, which means that they can vote for her and Obama at the same time--a twofer.

The Clintons are trying to force Obama to make a similar gesture. If he agrees, it gives Hillary the upper hand with the super delegates and voters who believe that it is Hillary's turn and Obama is young enough to run for President in 2016. If Obama balks, then he becomes the bad guy who is a stumbling block to party unity.

[null and void]

And if a republican is elected, the dems won't fight him because his agenda is essentially their agenda, and the republicans will support anything ‘their’ president advocates in the name of party unity and bipartisanship.

We're pretty much doomed.
