"Ready on day one": just words. False, hollow words.
Look at this trainwreck of a campaign. Her losing this nomination is worse than the Patriots getting beat in the Super Bowl.

But at every turn, incompetence. Inability to anticipate. Slowness to react. Arrogance and laziness. Loyal to a disastrous fault. And burning through money until tens of millions just vanish and she ends up in debt.

This is who you want in the Oval Office?

Don't tell me "no one could have anticipated Barack Obama." That's as good as Condoleeza Rice's "no one could have anticipated terrorists flying planes into buildings." Give me a break.

I used to think that while I did not like Hillary Clinton, at least she would be a competent manager.

Now I'm terrified at the thought of her being president.

Deeds, not words, indeed.

3. Don't worry, he won't either!
I will vote for him in the GE if he is the nominee. But, be ready for president McCain.

Go ahead and bookmark this.

6. Oprah is buying the election for him. It's peanuts to her.
She spends millions in Africa, to bad she won't help the poor right here.
