Morning show / MSM shift: Obama is nominee, Clinton fading (long shot), Dems taliking about McCain

[kid a]

A search of headlines, Sunday morning talk, as well as progressive blogs see the writing.

Its about time, too. A positive move to beat McCain unfolds.

:thumbsup:

Go get McCain, and don't look back, Obama!!!

[blm]

3. DU should do the same - turn our guns on McCain and ignore anything more from Clinton camp

as a waste of time from delusional powermongers.

Monday can be a whole new GD without the P. The P really has been over for some time.

2. Time to meet the next challenge....Go Obama!!

4. I've seen this on MSNBC.

They show a 3 point lead; however, there is a +/- 3 points margin for error. :shrug:

5. read Frank Rich's op-ed, "The Republbican Ressurection':

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/23/opinion/23rich.html?_r=1&ref=opinion&oref=slogin

Whatever Mrs. Clinton’s or Mr. Obama’s inconsistencies about how to wind down the war, they are both models of coherence next to Mr. McCain. He keeps saying the surge is a “success,” but he can’t explain why that success keeps us trapped in Iraq indefinitely. He never says precisely what constitutes that “victory” he keeps seeing around the corner. His repeated declaration that he will only bring home the troops “with honor” is a Vietnam acid flashback recycled as a non sequitur. Our troops have already piled up more than enough honor in their five years of service under horrific circumstances. Meanwhile, as Al Qaeda proliferates in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a survey by Foreign Policy magazine of 3,400 active and retired American officers finds that 88 percent believe that the Iraq war has “stretched the U.S. military dangerously thin.”

But as violence flares up again in Iraq and the American economy skids, the issues consuming the Democrats are Mr. Wright and Geraldine Ferraro, race and gender, unsanctioned primaries and unaccountable superdelegates. Unless Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton find a way to come together for the good of their country as well as their party, no speech by either of them may prevent Mr. McCain from making his second unlikely resurrection in a single political year.

6. The last time Obama focused on McCain, Clinton threw the kitchen sink at him

and voters in Texas and Ohio fell for it. Unfortunately, Obama needs to stay focused on Clinton.

There can and will be no constructive campaigning against the opposition until she exits.

8. She's behaving like the former boyfriend/girlfriend

...that can't except that it's over. "If I can't have her/him, nobody can!" Friends of the now defunct couple can feel the pain of the rejected one, but are extremely uncomfortable with the destructive behavior and after a while just cringe when they see him/her coming.

7. It is time to ignore Hillary and MOVE ON.

9. According to Gloria Bourgeouisie the Democratic Race is neck and neck....

in her dreams!

10. If she's lost the media, she's really lost.

We seem to be at that point. Good for the party if this is true.

I heard Stephy talk about it on This Week. It would seem that they are turning away from the idea of a King and Queen Clinton.

11. I am sure it's so she can have an "amazing comeback!!!" after PA

They did this before New Hampshire too, they said she was dead and then she won by 3% it was an AMAZING COMEBACK! I'm not saying it isn't true that she is done, but expect April 22 to be a RESURECTION FROM THE DEAD!! The media wants this to go to the convention so bad. Don't trust anything they say.

12. McClaughlin's answer: 55% Likelyhood of HRC presidency

The general consensus was 50%. Same on Meet the Press. Only here is it absolute zero.

15. Politico's "Clinton Myth" article tells the REAL story about MSM

pitching the Obama/HRC race as a contest because the narrative of a tight race is more enrtaining/interesting for them to report, and not the reality that race is over.

13. We've been C-Spammed

All our discussion topics are dominated by 10% in the minority.

14. Let her sink! Hee hee!!

16. This is actually a false statement of the MSM

MSM is not counting her out. There are 10 states left. Obama is up about 120 delegates, 700,000 popular votes. By the time the primaries are over this will be much closer. Also, who knows exactly what FL/MI will do. As the counts get closer the superdelegates come in to play. The SD's are not obligated to any candidate. The momentum seems to be going with Hillary as we get closer to the end of the primaries much due to Wright issues. She has an argument she won the democrat states and Obama won Republican states which will stay republican. SD's are not obligated to back Obama. If it's as close as we think, SD's could go with Hillary. This stuff about the will of the people because you have a tiny bit more popular vote and just a few more seated delegates is not what the SD's were designed for. If that were the case SD's would not have been put into place. They would have just gone with who had the most popular votes and seated delegates. Then, this endorsement of Richardson will have very little impact for the upcoming primaries. So to say Hillary should drop out is purely out of greed and paranoia of Obama's supporters
