2. Hold on; isn't PA the new Clinton goal post?

Let me quess; Puerto Rico is next!

[StevieM]

3. Obama's goal post is winning my vote. At this rate he won't get it. You might want to

show some respect.

5. At what rate? Care to elaborate?

And what respect needs to be shown? I'm stating a fact:

6. Just a joke

The firewall strategy and weeding out "important" states have been
easy to poke lighthearted fun at. Come on, there's nothing disrespectful
here.

7. What can he do to win your confidence and trust, and hopefully your vote?

[StevieM]

15. Here's a list of things he can do

1) Stop trashing the 1990s, an era that our party can and should be proud of.

2) Start talking about who he'll look to put on the Supreme Court.

3) Focus more on Global Warming and specific plans to combat it.

4) Cancel his planned meeting with Amhadinejad, which would give credibility to a man who right now is just a glorified press secretary, and one who's about to get voted out of office next year

5) Provide me with some assurance that I don't have to worry about David Axelrod turning into the next Karl Rove.

17. I think Mark Penn has answered #5 on your list.

if you're looking for the "next Karl Rove", he fits the bill far more than David Axelrod.

[NeedleCast]

12. That's the nice thing about voting

We dont' have to win them all. Just a majority.

Neat how that works.

[lojasmo]

19. Hinging your vote in november upon faceless internet people

Is puerile. Grow up.

[Alexander]

25. If strangers on DU influence your vote, you've got bigger problems.

[krkaufman]

28. If that story is accurate, you've gotta agree that the goalposts have been moved ...

... from OH & TX to PA.

I could care less; she has a right to run for as long as she cares. I just wish she'd be less negative.

11. Texas doesn't matter

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[babylonsister]

13. Then you'll get a real belly laugh out of this:

18. Rhode Island, then Puerto Rico. EOM

[pampango]

4. Quick, someone needs to urge the DNC to bring about a "no campaign/

no participation/no delegates" sanction on Pennsylvania. Obama has trouble combating Hillary's initial polling advantage in many states, if there is no campaigning.

Then after the "no campaigning/no participation" primary takes place, with her presumably doing well, the "no delegates" part of the sanction can be "reexamined". :)

8. Wooo Hooo!

Go, Barack, Go!

[skipos]

9. "Meet me in Puerto Rico!" Seriously though,

it sucks that Pennsylvania "won't matter" pretty soon. It is tough to see so many states that I like: Illinois, Wisconsin, Maine, Delaware, etc not matter. :(

[Fire_brand]

14. Pennsylvania doesn't count

[NJSecularist]

16. "Nobody likes Obama here in PA"

That's what somebody said on this forum yesterday. :eyes: :eyes:

21. Clinton's firewall just burned down. nt

[hell-bent]

22. Gee, I just checked the Real Clear Politics site

and they have Clinton leading by a large margin in several polls.

23. Fantastic.

We can just about put this baby to bed

24. outstanding

26. Yea! It looks like my vote isn't going to count!

I am THRILLED! :bounce:
