Did you hear the explanation later? So that if Hillary gets more delegates than Obama, California can then pass their votes for Obama...wonder if that’s what they’ll really do?

I know - and Gloria Allred was all upset yesterday - who knows what may or may not happen. Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my part....

“standing where no black ever stood before”

I doubt he will ever win!
Reality will set in very soon for those
who think that he could.

This convention should highlight ALL the reasons he should not win!!

McCain has my vote looking forward to having a classy first lady in the WHITE House she will bring dignity and class not only to the White House but to our Country she LOVES our country as much as John does.

Glad I get to watch a good football game tomorrow night held in a football stadium ....;)

Someone should tell BO that stadiums are for football games
not for elitists trying to show off.

NEVER FORGET

.

With my gleeful entry into the Land of the Internet 10 years ago...

...it became my goal to stop HILLARY from becoming President of the United States,

...no matter the personal costs.

This 10 year wait to finally see HILLARY’s POTUS failure has been worth it all.

Personal costs =

AR, I fear that we will have to stand like minutemen ready take up arms at a moments notice. This is only the end of the beginning.
