Sounds pretty even to me. And this Iran nuke thing. Really what is happening to us? It seems very nutty. I almost can't look at it any more. So SORRY FOR mistake in numbers. I took them from a nyt page. It is being continually updated. As of 2:47 it is 64/63. http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/delegates/index.html

I can tell what she's saying by the look on her face. If she laughs, then I know she was asked a tough question that she doesn't want to and won't answer. I mute her just so I don't hear the laugh :eyes:

As soon as Bush stole the White House, I became unable to bear the sound of his voice and ran for the remote whenever he appeared. Had never had such a reaction to a politician before or since. Until recently; Hill and Bill are now evoking the same disgust/horror as Bush. Which is a shock to someone who like you defended them for the last twenty years.

9. What's bizarro is the number of Obama supporters |
|
who refuse to even acknowldge that Clinton was ASKED what she would do IF IRAN ATTACKED ISREAL WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Go ahead and tell me that an Obama Administration, under that scenario, would ask for a UN Security Council resolution censoring Iran for wiping out Tel Aviv with an atomic bomb as an alternate response.

Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 01:45 PM by sfexpat2000
a president should be very careful about talking in sweeping terms about a military response.
(Not to mention, there is a spectrum of possible replies between "UN resolution" and "Obliterate", as you well know.)

28. Tom, I enjoy your posts but I have to point something out. |
|
Does it really matter that she was asked that question? The whole scenario is so far off the scale as to be absolutely absurd.
You have to assume a whole lot of things for that scenario to even make the remotest bit of sense, like:
1. Iran does develop nukes in the next 4-8 years. 2. That there would be absolutely no one in Iran who would object to sending this hypothetical nuke into another country in the immediate region, which would risk killing even a few Iranians, if the wind was blowing the right way. 3. That they would be so careless as to risk retaliation by Israel, who really does have nukes and would use them.
I guess if you consider the goofy aspect of the question, then Hillary's equally goofy answer makes a dumb kind of sense.
But to escalate the rhetoric to the point where the term 'obliteration' is used in relation to another sovereign country is way over the top in my book. I mean, wasn't the term 'massive retaliation' that she used in the debate sufficent any more?
And the swipe about Obama calling for a resolution at the UN is unacceptable. It reminds me a little too much of Bush's statement that Kerry would 'file suit' against Al Qaeda.

43. My point of course was that Obama would not do that |
|
On an internal Democratic message board I wasn't worrying about the electorate mistaking that piece of parody as serious.
If the outrage being expressed toward Hillary over this was confined to complaints that she unecessarily used an overly harsh word with "obliterate" when she could have said something else like "in that scenario Iran would face certain nuclear retaliation from the United States", I could easily understand it.
Instead there are ridiculous threads popping up claiming Clinton is now threatening to attack Iran, including some that intentionally cut off her quote to leave out the part about "If Iran used nuclear weapons against Isreal" to make it seem like she is a demented warmonger.

45. Accusing her of wanting to attack Iran is just as dumb |
|
as the rest of this hypothetical if you ask me.
But the word 'obliterate' isn't in the popular diplomatic lexicon (if there even is such a thing) for a reason. If you use that word to start a diplomatic exchange, it doesn't leave a whole lot of room for re-definition.

Middle East instead of just one? I suspect that Jerusalem is not the only Moslem holy site in the state of Isreal. Why is everyone so certain that Iran is itching to bomb the place?

3. the official PA results will be up at 4 today, some counties left out |

the results will be more like Hillary winning with 8 points, not 10.
The remaining counties favor Obama.

All you're going to get is delegate projections no matter where you look.
Nothing's finalized until the state convention as far as I know for PA.

31. No, look at what McAuliffe actually said. |

He said she was 'on track to raise 10 million by the end of the day today' - not that it had been raised by noon today.
News outlets are putting the amount raised as closer to $3 million.

There was no convincing victory yesterday, only one less state for voting. Even if Hillary picked up 12 delgates by your count, it's not enough. If Obama wins Indiana, it's over.

http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/02/ultimate-delegate-tracker.htmlThat ten point spread may not stand, since they still haven't reported the full results for Philadelphia County -- 40 districts still out.
