What if "bitter" DOES implode Obama? What if Bosnia DOES implode Clinton?
Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 11:50 AM by Bluebear
And etcetera and etcetera. If some scandal/gaffe/revelation/whatever does bring down one of the remaining two candidates, what on earth will you do?

There is one thing on which I have to hand it to the GOP: The "never speak bad about a Republican" thing seems to work. Because if you are left with a candidate that you spent six months trashing and doing the opposition's work in painting them as criminal garbage, it's awfully hard to pick up the pieces in the General Election. Just a thought.

1. Then, just to be on the safe side of fate, don't throw out your Lee Mercer 08
buttons.

10. Back atcha OC
You know, I tried to be so clear when being critical of either that "I will vote for whoever the nominee is", but too many have made this into a crosstown loser-be-damned football game.

12. I'll take any of our original 8 over any Republican living or dead, except
possibly Lincoln, and maybe not even Lincoln.

We'll have a nominee one of these days, then a ticket out of Denver, and then -- I'm hoping -- larger majorities in the 111th Congress to work with.

I'm damned sick of a certain treacherous hyena and his big-oil buddies currently in the Oval Office.

2. Thanks Hillary
We all know the woman who posted that shit on the Huffington Post was a Hillary supporter and her team sat on the story for about a week while making "I'm not Bitter" stickers. Just thanks Hillary.

6. Well, this is a little deeper than just the "bitter" flap, but whatever

8. the supporter
Would have probably shopped it to McCain later. It was Obama's fault for having the fundraiser in the first place when he didn't need to have it. Those people aren't his people and he shouldn't be shocked they fucked him.

11. Hillary saying those who lost their jobs aren't bitter=Bush saying it's a great thing
that someone in America can have 3 jobs at once. Talk about being "out of touch."

5. As in Darwin's Theory, the strongest will survive and thrive.
I believe the unflappable Mr. Obama is going to be stronger when he comes out of this Primary, not weaker.

9. The "never speak bad about a Republican" thing is a meme.
They do it all the time.

Romney and McSenile went at it.

Their winner-take-all approach keeps it to a minimum, though.
