By miracle does Kondracke mean cheating and voter fraud?

My take is that about the only thing that he will take from Bush is:
see you at the signing

That seems like the best scenario,

though it doesn’t result in the dissolution of the dhimmirat party fast enough for my liking.

Clinton should get credit for Florida and Michigan.

I don’t accept that Obama did not campaign in those states. He should have.

It would have made no difference in Florida. He would have lost miserably. He would have lost Michigan for the same reason he lost Ohio, but he would have done better than Ohio or Penn.

He was wrong to just write those people off.

FORMER DEM LEADER ENDORSES OPERATION CHAOS


“A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote to continue this process, and a vote to continue this process is a vote that assists John McCain.”
— Joe Andrew, Democratic National Committee chairman (1999-2001)

Two things Mort might be not taking into consideration:

1. The votes in Florida and Michigan. Though the delegates there do NOT count, the "popular vote" of the people ought to be considered, since their votes count in the general election--right?

2.

Some (probably unreliable) polling has Clinton up by 2 points in North Carolina. If Clinton takes Indiana big and squeaks out a win in North Carolina, based on these figures she can take the popular vote, particularly if people start abandoning Obama, who will suddenly have the stink of a loser.

She’s already ahead in the popular vote, if you count Michigan and Florida — which teh Dimmycraps know they are going to have to do.

Well 1 or 2 things happen:

What you suggest. Clinton Loses Primary, Superdelegates stick with the popular vote knowing full well Fauxbama cannot win and McCain becomes President.

or

Superdelegates ignore the popular vote, and give hillBilly the nomination and black democrats break from the party in agner and spite for the “selection not election” enough so that HillBilly has no chance to win and McCain becomes President.

I don’t see any scenario where either of these Dems can win the White House.

I think the best thing to come out of Operation Chaos is the unlikely possibility that Obama and Clinton will be on the same ticket.

I am unsure to what degree one can credit Operation Chaos for this result, but ever bit helps.

By taking this race all the way to the convention the Demos will find it very difficult to enter the fall in an organized/healed manner. Right now McCain is gearing up his organization, working on VP selection, refining his stump speech, doing all the things to get ready for the general.

If the convention turns into a free-for-all, or there are some serious hurt feelings along the way, then it is difficult to see how a Demo can win the general.

Clinton Can't Win Popular Vote Race Without a Miracle
