What excuses will we read in GDP when Clinton loses the nomination?
Because she already has. If you live in this reality -based world.

2. Excuses?
You will probably see a disappointed silence.

I just had a non conversation on the way to work, where I challenged my (Obama supporting) boyfriend to tell me why he thought Obama was stronger on public education and health care than Hillary, since he thought that I was negative and that Hillary was running a negative campaign.

So, I said, let's have a positive conversation. Let's talk issues!

I waited twenty minutes in silence, and when I dared bring up issues again, he accused me of being negative.

If you think that you are going to have a Hillary fan who doesn't feel marginalized and disgruntled, I'd be interested in finding that person.

3. Not another "what excuses" post! Please!
We just had the "what excuses will Obama supporters give when he loses in PA" post today. What is the appeal of these needlessly nasty posts to those on either side?

Please stop.

5. There's no point other than taunting
It's like listening to a biassed sportscaster.

9. Yes, that's the point. I put this up in response to the one about Obama losing
today. The Hillbots refuse to do the math, and instead, pretend that a slight loss for Obama today is an overall loss. In fact, HRC should have swept PA by 20-30%. If he can chip away at that significantly, then it's his win, even if she comes out slightly ahead today.

People just don't trust her, and the last weeks have proven why she doesn't deserve our trust.

12. Well, I don't trust someone who wants to give my tax money to charter schools
and favors abstinence educaion as the focus in the birth control/abortion debate. Silly me!

4. That Democrats are sexist pigs who refuse to let a woman be President?

Goodness knows, her campaign brings that whine out an awful lot. :eyes:

Edited for grammar.

6. Once she loses, there is no reason to make excuses
it will be time to turn our attention to the very important task of defeating McCain and the GOP.

8. Bingo...while I have some hard feelings towards more than a few
Hillary supporters here, I will hold nothing against them. It really isn't their fault, Hillary was a viable candidate.

11. I don't expect the Hilbots to stop any more than Hill will.
I don't think the Obama bashing will stop for one minute.

19. I am willing to take a wait and see approach
While it wouldn't suprise me if Hillary (and her supporters) continue, I am hoping that they will all do the right thing.

7. The one week shitstorm should be quite amusing.
My guess is: Howard Dean stabbed her in the back. Accompanied by lots of pledges to vote McCain or not vote due to the unfairness of it all and the unsuitable flag pin status of St. Obama.

He's always the DLC's favorite scapegoat.

14. THE LEFT and Democratic Leadership have decided they
would rather lose the GE than give Hillary an opportunity.

18. Being a US senator isn't an opportunity? Being the first lady isn't an opportunity?
Who do you think you're kidding?

This isn't the president of the girl scouts. This isn't the PTA or the school board. This is international peace policy.

If she's not the nominee, it is not a slap in the face to all women. You all have to stop taking this personally.This is not about her gender, damn it!

She's a war monger and part of the military industrial complex.

23. They will say the same crap they said when Liberman (I-3rd Party) lost to Lamont in the primaries.
A lot of crap about "far left" and "nutroots", etc.
