Well, folks, just as I thought, the momentum has shifted once again clearly in favor of Hillary

[mtnsnake]

and the complexion of this campaign has turned on a dime.

Like I said last week, you could just feel it coming. It was in the air. Even animals seemed to sense that a big change was about to take place with how they were acting. Then it happened. It was bound to happen anyway, but there's always a catalyst that sparks the change. In this case, that catalyst turned out to be Barack's slip-up with how he worded a sentence. I'm sure it was inadvertent, but that's all it took to turn this thing around in Hillary's favor for good.

Make no mistake...when you go up against the Goddess of Peace, you need to run a flawless campaign or you won't stand a chance. One little blunder and it's all over, as we all just witnessed here with what happened in recent days. Oh well, Barack gave it his best shot, and he's got nothing to be ashamed of. He's still young, and the best part about him running again in the future is that he won't have to go up against such a formidable opponent as one of the Clintons, unless Chelsea decides to run in 2016, although I think she'll probably wait a little longer than that.

Momentum. There is nothing like it. :smoke:

[Hutzpa]

1. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

:rofl:

[cali]

85. The GOP will just have to settle for dominion over the land of NY

as she's not going to be the dem nominee.

[Tesha]

86. "Here he is, folks, for justa few nights more, DU's own version of 'Baghdad Bob'!"

He'll have you rolling in the aisles laughing, with every
line a fresh zinger...

Remember to tip your moderators..."

Tesha

[Yael]

2. Because her campaign has been flawless?

:rofl:

[mtnsnake]

9. I didn't say that, Yael. I said you need to run a flawless campaign if you hope to compete with her

[earthlover]

32. Thanks for the laugh, mountainsnake

Hillary Clinton is an amatuer campaigner....at best.

All hype. No substance. Zero charisma.

Hillary's problem is that she is one of the most condescending people on the planet.

[tekisui]

3. Yep. I feel it. THIS is the turning point.

We've turned a corner. She's just getting started. Watch out America, her she comes.

[muntrv]

6. The Goddess of Peace? As in the one who voted FOR the Iraq war?

[tekisui]

And AGAINST the cluster bomb ban in civilian areas.

[virtualobserver]

22. she's the goddess of eternal peace.....

[earthlover]

34. That's mountainsnake's pet name for the sniper victim

How many goddesses are bald-faced liars?

How many goddesses of peace glare at their opponents during a debate?

hillary is no goddess. and she is not for peace.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

7. I want some of what you are smoking n/t hope this is satire?

[Joe the Revelator]

8. I think that you're really an Obama supporter, sent here to make Hillary supporters appear goofy

Even if I'm wrong the real (fake) comedy is awesome.

[mtnsnake]

15. Jeesh, Wolshie, I'm not intending it that way. Can't you feel the momentum shift??

[tekisui]

19. That's just the ground that Hillary has lost.

[Joe the Revelator]

23. Yeah that seals it. You're an Obama supporter.

[quakerboy]

68. Remember Jlake

His stuff was great fun. Maybe even good enough for pre invasion Iraqi TV. I really enjoyed his "Hillary will blow him out in Missippi" thread. This is another right along those lines.

[krkaufman]

82. Excellent comment. I just couldn't bring myself to reply to the OPer ...

... since the lunacy was just too much.

[JoFerret]

89. That's one of the nicest, fairest , most pleasant comments

I seen from you.

"goofy" I like it.

11. You misspelled "joementum".

[YDogg]

37. my thoughts exactly

[40ozDonkey]

12. Momentum means a 65% win at least in PA, and every state from there.

Good luck in PA, N. Carolina, and Oregon.

And Indiana, actually.

[papau]

16. nope it just means Obama loses in non close races in Ind and PA - O said that

Ind would be the "tie breaker"

[AX10]

38. His..

surrogates have been saying that Obama only he will take Indiana in a landslide, that will not happen.

[40ozDonkey]

72. No, momentum means voters give her wins large enough to make a case for nomination

That means, she has to win 65% of the vote from here on out to eliminate the delegate advantage.

Remember the delegate advantage? It's the best argument for the nomination, whoever has the most at the end makes the best case to win. If the voters give her momentum, that's what they'll have to give her in states like PA, North Carolina, Indiana, Oregon: sixty five percent of the vote.

At least, if you care about making it look legitimate.
Good luck.

[DearAbby]

13. The momentum would have shifted sooner

But it was penned down by sniper fire....then she forgot where she parked it, being 60 ya know, ya tend to forget some details. ;)

[boston bean]

14. She is in it to win it! That's for sure! I can feel it too! nt

[mtnsnake]

26. Yeah, it's cool when you start feeling like it's gonna come on, and then it actually happens

When did you first start realizing that a big change in momentum was going to happen, MassDemm? For me, I started feeling it last Tuesday and I predicted it would happen on Thursday, which it did....or was it Friday that the tide turned?

[earthlover]

47. Hillary is in it to win...Obama is in it to make America better.

There is a HUGE difference.

Personally, I think it is totally boring to say yu want to win. I mean, who doesn't?

WHY, Hillary? WHY?

Hillary Clinton: the candidate for voters with low expectations for their leaders....a perfect fit!

[mtnsnake]

54. Just the same, earthlover, you have to admit that momentum is a wild thing, eh

The thing about momentum changes is how they always seem to take people by surprise. Personally, I think the entire phenomenom of momentum, and how its changes affect contests, is one of those intangibles that you can never take for granted or quite figure out.

[tularetom]

17. What color is the sky in your world?

Here in reality world it's actually kinda smoggy.

[Botany]

18. Are you paid to write that insipid tripe, on drugs, or looking for crap?

Obama will win the nomination ... end of story

[mtnsnake]

29. That picture in your post is awesome.

It reminds me of the combination of beauty and strength that is so characteristic of the Goddess of Peace.

Great colors :thumbsup:

[babylonsister]

20. You got anymore of what you're smokin'? I'll pm you my address. Must

be good shit!

[mtnsnake]

27. Good vibes is all it took this time, sis

Can't you feel it? I can. :)

[totodeinhere]

21. "Animals seemed to sense it." LOL.

Actually, my goldfish just told me that Obama has it in the bag.

[IntravenousDemilo]

24. Wicked satire. Much appreciated.

Thanks!

[Bigleaf]

25. Sure there is. Delegate lead. She'll never get that.

:toast:

[jackson_dem]

28. mtn you were right when you predicted Thursday would be a turning point

That is when the article exposing Obama's bigotry toward small town folks was being penned.

[mtnsnake]

30. thanks, jackson. It was just one of those times when the air was electric with imminent change

about to happen. The interesting part, however, isn't so much that I predicted it, but what form of catalyst it would take to spark the change.

[Moochy]

64. Can I get in on this insane subthread

Me too, I want to make the crazy funny words!

[kikiek]

31. Right on! The calls for her to drop out for the "good of the party" are WRONG! We need the right one

in to go against McCain, and that is Hillary! Great post! A big K&R.

[smiley_glad_hands]

39. Two peas in a pod, her and mcsame. eom

[smiley_glad_hands]

41. In case you haven't noticed, she has sold out the progressive movement and the democratic party.

Why would you still vote for her? Why does she use republican frames?

[smiley_glad_hands]

33. Yeah right.

Hilliary sells out the grass roots base and thus she wins the nomination. Go figure.

[AX10]

35. mtnsnake, you were right!

:hug:

Obama's bigotry towards those who are not inclined to support him has been exposed.

[smiley_glad_hands]

36. Really twisted logic you got there. eom

[AX10]

63. Insults. That's all that the Hope and Change gang has left.

[smiley_glad_hands]

74. Pointing out that your logic is twisted is not an insult.

Calling you a Hilliary supporter would be though. In my book anyway.

[YDogg]

40. heh

[JackORoses]

42. forgive MountedSnake, everyone. These last throes of Hillarism are very painful for some.

They just cannot deal with the fact that they have invested so much of themselves in a loser.

Give them time. Hillary too shall pass.

[mtnsnake]

62. The amazing thing about momentum changes is how most of us are taken by surprise by them

It's kind of like, wow, we were never prepared for this thing to change so quickly, all because of a change in momentum. Then, *wham*, something happens, and all of a sudden the other side starts riding the wave like what Hillary is doing now. Who'd of thought it only a week ago?

[JackORoses]

69. you cannot manufacture momentum with Bullshit and Duct tape

Who would have thought Hillary Clinton would have got her ass kicked only a year ago?

Things change. Your perspective is very limited. You don't see the real wave because you are focused too intensely on Hillary.

Don't worry though. The rest of us will make up for your lack of understanding.

[Zhade]

43. HAHAHAHAHA!! You wish!

:rofl:

[shadowknows69]

44. Wow, that's a real special corner of the Twilight Zone you live in isn't it?

[Hoof Hearted]

45. I wonder how many "deleted messages" you're going to collect!

:yourock:

[zulchzulu]

46. The boomerang is now spinning its way back to the Clintons

Watch and learn.

[stillcool]

66. I love it when that happens...

it's a beautiful thing.

[Asgaya Dihi]

48. You really should stop using that goddess of peace bit

Sounds infatuated at best and cultish to a lot of people. It can't help her any. Especially if you're still trying to convince anyone that the other candidate is the personality cult rather than just a popular candidate.

[mtnsnake]

51. She's the only 2008 candidate who pledged to end the war upon taking the oath

so it's only fitting that she is the Goddess of Peace. It's not only that, however, but her general attitude towards peace. Despite how she's portrayed here sometimes, she is truly a peaceful person, and anyone who knows about her knows that war is the last option in her book.

Anyway, this momentum thing is worth discussing, don't you think? It's one of those intangibles that's just hard to put your finger on sometimes.

[Asgaya Dihi]

58. As far as I could tell neither of them actually promised to end it

Jeremy Scahill had a decent interview in a number of places on the subject and he wasn't too kind to either of them, one or the other might have changed views since but neither wanted us actually out as of then.

http://www.democracynow.org/2008/2/28/jeremy_scahill_despite_anti_war_rhetoric

That's not any part of a deciding factor in my vote anyway, I didn't like either for most of the same reasons until the campaign started. I sure like the way he acts under pressure better than her though, they are going to spend a number of years under pressure and she hasn't sold herself well in this campaign. In policy and before that the differences between them seemed both minor and in areas that aren't my prime concern. Neither talked much about the drug war, that was Gravel and Kucinich to a point, or the poor and corporate control, that was Edwards. My policies didn't make the cut.

On the goddess of peace bit though, the arguments for or against her qualifying for the role aside, it does sound a bit... how to put it well... devoted. She'd probably do better with intelligent realists selling her policies and qualities than with a starry eyed fan club, or with anything that might give that impression.

Just a thought. Peace.

[Barack_America]

49. The ghost of jlake still haunts DU...

:scared:

[Hawkeye-X]

50. You can tell when a supporter is completely off his/her rockers..

When "Goddess of Peace" is thrown in.

Ok. She's already a confirmed G.O.P.

Uh-oh, what does that mean?

Hawkeye-X

[mtnsnake]

52. Anyway, what do you think about this change in momentum thing? It's quite the phenomenon, no?

[Hawkeye-X]

57. WHAT change of momentum? Gallup and Realclearpolitics still shows me Obama is still up

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/polls/ - +5.4% average for Obama.

But after tomorrow, he should be over 50% again. We'll see.

But the shift is the same. up and down for the last oh, a week. still hovering at an average of 50%.

[Condem]

53. Mountain

The day this Fuckin thing ends, I'm cueing up "Wish you were here" in your honor. We're going to need you!

[mtnsnake]

55. lol, whatever it takes, Condem

:thumbsup:

[islandmkl]

56. merely delusional...

barely amusing

[Arkana]

59. There's that Goddess of Peace thing again.

My God, and you guys call us a cult.

[Moochy]

60. Goddess of Peace

ROFL that one gets me every time!

Seems that Hillary spent her last bit of campaign money on crack.

[book_worm]

61. looks like the Goddess put her foot in her mouth again on CNN tonight

with her Gore remark. Of course, Obama got it right that Gore won the election. Yep, the momentum is shifting again. But then again when you run a crappy campaign like the Goddess has you got to expect that any advance she makes is only temporary because Obama is the real thing.

[girl gone mad]

65. This is funny stuff.

You should write for The Onion.

:)

[FlyingSquirrel]

67. Momentum.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=5443168

I think your definition of momentum and mine must be way different. Also, she had to break the "bitter" story much quicker than she wanted to - and 5 hours later Obama had a response. Perhaps that wasn't enough; the next day he had an apology. It'll blow over before the primary.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

70. I can feel it coming in the air tonight...oh yeah

[Bigleaf]

71. Hillary: You can wipe off that grin, we know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies

[JoFerret]

73. Forget the past. Who can get us out of Iraq

without abandoning the Iraqi people and leaving them with the total chaos we have created?

[PM7nj]

75. Oh wow. This thread has made my night.

You are truly delusional.

[NJmaverick]

76. LOL! You posted this an hour too soon

otherwise you would have been talking about how your candidate just lost the momentum and the race

[Mooney]

77. What the fuck are you talking about?

This is a joke, right?

[rodeodance]

78. Saddle up--there is a long primary to go.

[Mooney]

79. How can that be?

Isn't Hillary Clinton's nomination-snatching victory in Puerto Rico less than two months away?

[JeffR]

80. Yes. It couldn't me more screamingly obvious.

It's like I just stubbed my toe on it, it's so obvious.

[wisteria]

81. I wouldn't count on that momentum being with Hillary. I think Pa is going to be the end for her. n/t

[ImpeechBush]

83. great satire lol

obviously a post-Kool Aide special, lol

[OneBlueSky]

84. you're dreaming . . . n/t

.

[my3boyz]

87. Keep gloating! She will win the state she is supposed to win. Then

Obama will KICK HER ASS in North Carolina! So enjoy your three weeks of gloating! Oh and meet my ignore button!

[BeyondGeography]

88. As always, we appreciate your wisdom on this matter

To be filed along with the 23 other threads in the same vein that you have launched during the course of Hillary's now inevitably failed campaign.
