Unless absolutely necessary, I'm focusing on what Obama needs to do to defeat McCain
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 10:34 PM by zulchzulu
Contrary to what supporters of Hillary Clinton think, it is nearly a mathematical impossibility that she will be the nominee. Game. Set. Match.

When Hillary Clinton said that it was "unAmerican" for Obama to not want to have a re-do in Michigan (which he never said), it was obvious to me that she knows she lost. What she does in the Final Act of her failed campaign will be part of the unprecedented lowness of her political strategy.

Her records showing that she indeed supported NAFTA while First Lady and had very little transferable experience as First lady after 1994 will be impacting the media once the MSM gets tired of the Swift Hortonization antic trying to link Obama with Wright by some omniscient ominpotent osmosis.

Hillary Clinton has failed. What she does now is of no interest to me. She can either choose to bow out gracefully or try to destroy the Democratic Party.

I vow to those who care that I am clearly going to focus on the assumption that Barack Obama is the nominee and next President of the United States. I'll be doing more grassroots work in the streets for Obama as spring enters and opens up.

The point now is that the cannons should be aimed toward John McCain's candidacy. He will easily be beaten in the fall and I want to be loaded for bear when people ask me about voting for McCain. I will make sure to share what I come up with.

Hopefully I don't stray off and have to defend Obama from the Clinton campaign's careless and inaccurate attacks on him. My focus and efforts will try much attempt to be making sure Barack Obama beats John McCain by an amount even the Diebold Machines can't steal away. They WILL try.

To the Hillary Clinton supporters, good luck. I'm done with trying to prove how she is not the right candidate at this time. It's pointless.

The war to get our country back has only one mission: defeat John McCain handily. This is a new chapter. Onward...

You forgot the superdelegates, who'll abandon Obama if he tanks in the polls
The real impact of the Rev Wright videos will not be known for a while. If Obama tanks in the polls as more and more people see the videos, the superdelegates will abandon Obama

4. That's not going to happen, my friend
Polls now coming out show support for Obama spiking upward.

The Swift Hortonization has failed. Knowing how the MSM works, they are now going to go after Hillary Clinton's released records as First Lady and stories are already impacting. Add that the Clinton tax records are going to be another serious blow to her campaign.

Game. Over.

3. Sorry! He did say he doesn't want a re-vote as all the MSM reported.
It wasn't something Hillary lied about. Stop drinking the kool-aid.
And I really won't miss you and your new focus. Just remember your promise! after all that blubber and hate you spout!

6. "stop drinking the kool-aid" followed with "all that blubber and hate you spout!"

Do you even have a memory recall of a mere few seconds?

Find me the exact quote where Obama said he doesn't want a re-vote. Otherwise, I'll assume you are full of...

The quote is not there, sister.

8. Well you can link it to me.
I heard it with my very own ears repeated and explained in detail on the MSM about why he felt that way. Conclusion...Hillary would get lots more popular votes. He'd rather disenfranchise those voters for his own personal political gain. Keep your eyes and ears open and you'll hear his opinion discussed in the media in the future.

I'll grant you one thing...That may not have been his EXACT words but that is what he was saying and everyone knew it and know one refuted the fact that he doesn't want their votes counted and didn't want a re-vote either.
I can't say I blame him for not wanting that as Hillary would get more votes. This is a Primary and they are ALL politicians and will do and say what gives them an advantage...other wise they wouldn't be a real fighter and that's what we need in the White House.

9. Do you understand that Hillary Clinton knew the Michigan votes wouldn't count, right?
Edited on Thu Mar-20-08 07:41 AM by zulchzulu


Hillary Clinton had on her own web site saying she would adhere to the Democratic Party's rules and knew that the Michigan and Florida primaries were merely beauty contests due to both state Democratic leaders no adhering to THE RULES. She is on record stating that she knew those votes would not count.

Now, of course, she thinks that people are too stupid to see that she wants to change the rules because she knows that without cheating, she is not the nominee.

Obama and the other candidates (except Kucinich and Gravel) decided to follow THE RULES. Is that too hard to comprehend?
