I LOVE to see the delegates leave the hillbilly and get behind the winner! She has been bragging so much about winning the individual state primaries, I hope he kicks her tail in delegate lead.

She did her usual low class act today and had her lackies announce that she wants the VP slot. How could she do that without talking directly to him 1st? Why? Because she wants her evil minion to continue to pressure him. It's not going to work. I wish non-delusional was here to say, "GIVE IT UP, BITCHES!"

How many hours until O gives the victory speech?

This looks like it, ya'll! O needs 5 more delegates to win. Tonight is our night,& we aren't going to let hillbilly steal the thunder or extort the VP spot. It has been so gratifying to see those hacks on CNN have to give it up to O & the historical event that this is. We won the 1st round! Now, on to the GE!!!! Dead woman walking!

Congratulations, Craig!!! Take some ear plugs so you don't go deaf at the convention. I can't wait to get the play by play.

I finished cleaning my classroom and I'm done til August! It's truly a blessed and awesome day

just because you told them what they "have" to do.

Pamela - I saw that woman and her teeth and I have to kneel in prayer for my thoughts. Anyway- these women are obnoxious. They come off as nagging wives. You have to pick her as vp, you have to pick her as vp, you have to pick her are vp, you have to pick her as vp. You know, most men at least most men of color do not like to be told that they have to do. In fact, most would do the opposite.

Tubby-Jones has gone into Hillary as VP now. Chris Matthews said is Hillary okay with taking a job that really doesn't have much too it except presiding over the Senate and she is saying that there is so much that needs to be done that it will take two people to run the country. Co-Presidents! Run Obama run.

Thanks heartsandflowers. I agree that they should do something about that as well. It just gets to me that when Hillary repeats something multiple times, folks seem to adopt it as truth and start reporting on it even if it is a proven fallacy.

It comes from discounting all the caucus states because they do keep popular vote tallies. Obama's people REALLY need to do something about this!!!

Re: Tuesday Open Thread: What’s Up, People?

Val — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:55:00 -0000

Not that it matters but it is showing:
Obama: 17,425,810

Hillary: 17,428,541

I know the delegates is what counts but I really want to know where those numbers come from.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread: What’s Up, People?

Val — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:52:00 -0000

what is up with the popular count shown on MSNBC in HIllary's favor. Where are those numbers coming from?

I feel so blessed right now to be apart of history right now. When I watch documentaries of past leaders, I often wish I could have experienced some of the excitement they illicited.

I can't WAIT for his speech tonight. However, the reports are still saying she does not plan to "concede". My theory is that she may not use the actual words "concede" or "I am suspending my campaign", but she will in a vague way acknowledge he has reached the delegate threshold. Then again, that beyotch is crazy, and may have one last surprise.

And for the record, I am still saying no to the VP slot. Clyburn is on MSNBC now.

Craig-

Romney is a Mormon and the lunatic right will not go for it.

That is why Jindal, a catholic (think PA) is being shopped

Re: Tuesday Open Thread: What’s Up, People?

B-serious,

Agreed. He needs to choose a VP right away to steer clear of all the HRC camp mess. There were some rumblings that he could choose Sebelius or McCaskill, but I think one of the VA triumvirate (Webb, Kaine, Warner) could balance the ticket much better while securing a swing state.

Hagel--is looking more like a cabinet post than A Veep choice especially if HRC is still hanging around..much easier to challenge a Repub than a fellow Dem.

McCain, I think is waiting for Obama to choose so he can make a counter appointment. He has been looking a Jindal, the newly minted 36 year GOV of LA..lol..

If McCain picks Romney as his VP, he's a fool.

But then he's a fool, so maybe he'll pick Romney as his VP.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread: What’s Up, People?

Craig Hickman — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:45:00 -0000

Repeat after me:

She will not be Obama's runningmate.

Period.

Mark,
Actually, my information comes from people who have served/are serving in Iraq.

I don't think you're willing to take the steps necessary-namely, taking a trip there yourself-that would be required to discredit them.

First off, the US is not the occupying power in Iraq. We never were. The CPA-and I trust you know who that is-was the ruling power in Iraq until they handed the reins to the Iraqi government.

War is, by nature, an expensive undertaking. I doubt there's any record in history of a war being won on the cheap.

I'm not "pro war." No veteran is. What I am for is giving the Iraqi people a chance to experience the same freedoms I have. That's why I served.

Iraq is not-nor is it worse than-Vietnam. But I'll tell you how it can be made that way. If the Obama/Reid/Pelosi crowd keep attempting to legislate strategy.

Especially now that we have a strategy that Americans can see is working.

What if McCain picks Mitt Romney for VP?

"That bastard Harry Reid is telling SD's there's no rush, to leave Hillary Clinton alone."

Now, truthseeker, there you go actually LISTENING to the words said again. You are bound to hear the real when you do that and it is enough to piss any decent person off. Now you know how I feel about Edwards non-endorsement of Obama while endorsing himself and Hillary.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread: What’s Up, People?

TruthSeeker — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:12:00 -0000

That bastard Harry Reid is telling SD's there's no rush, to leave Hillary Clinton alone.

They should be on bended knee thanking Obama for saving the party. If Obama had not decided to run the GOP would have had Hillary and the DEMS for dinner, with all the shit in their closet.

Those party dinosaurs need to go!

bmp, I agree 100% on what you say in your last post. I didn't think that was your meaning of the first post that I responded to.

tvanel said, "What if he says FU and chooses another VP? Yes, her supporters can nominate her from the convention floor--but I dont think she will get the votes."

Bingo!

Delegate votes aside, Hillary won't have the political support to bully her way on the ticket . . .

IF. . .

Obama picks a different veep by late June/early July.

That makes things a lot more complicated for Clinton. It's hard to push your way on the ticket when someone else's name is already on all of the campaign signs, stickers and buttons.

Think about it. That's a solid 2 months of campaign time. That's 2 months for the party to grow accustomed to seeing Obama/(NOT Hillary) '08.

Sure, Hillary could opt for a convention fight. But she'd have to literally TAKE the nomination away from another Democrat to do it. That's political suicide if you're Hillary.

Last week, 40 Hillary super delegates threatened to switch sides if she takes the MI/FL issue to the convention. The backlash might be even bigger if she tried to take the veep issue to the convention.

pamela, we will have to agree to disagree. It is about kneegros falling in line. That is why the superdels didn't end this sooner, the way they would have if Edwards or Hillary had sewn up the nomination with 11 wins in the row in February. They could afford to take blacks for granted because blacks always fall in line and as the responses today are already proving, will fall in line again. If the democrats were afraid of losing your votes, they have a funny way of showing it. LOL
