Running Primaries Thread

OH, no, he wouldn't, mark.
You just watch.
I have faith in Boom.

 

MSNBC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Obama campaign.

 

Not so long as they have Morning Joe.

 

Joe's having a great time with this, too. Says it shows Democrats are a mess (and I don't disagree). What the hell, Hillary? Do the right thing, get the hell out. You've already killed your chances. Why are you helping kill Obama's and your party's? Maybe this one good deed would pay back for you some time in the future.

 

Part of me feels the same way, but, still, to be this close to being the President of the United States and saying, "Oh well. Never mind. I give up" would be hard to do for anyone. Especially someone as ambitious as Mrs. Bill.

However, yeah I wish she'd go away. Despite all the BS, though, I'm confident that the superdelegates won't overturn the results of millions of voters, pissing off a generation of voters and a huge part of their electorate in the process. Sorry, Hillary, but second place is second place no matter how close you are.

Also, I wouldn't say it's a mess. They are two strong candidates. Whoever emerges will be a better candidate in the fall.

Anyway, that's my contribution to a politics thread, which I try to avoid because it usually just angers up the blood.

Paul/Nader '08!

 

Like fried foods.

 

She's 100-odd delegates behind.
Reverse it. Would you be advising Obama to get out? Would he?
I doubt it.
Joe The Squint is whistling past the graveyard. He can read polls. The two Democratic candidates have gone up in the head-to-head numbers against St. John.

 

If Obama was 100 delegates behind at this point Dem party hacks like Rendell and his ilk would be on every national tv talk show that would have them all but demanding that Obama get out of the way so Queen Hillary can ascend to the throne.

 

She's 150 delegates behind in a proportional allocation system, and I won't ask her to drop out if anyone can give me a plausible scenario by which she makes up that kind of deficit.

Just show me how she gets there.

 

Nope.

But if he doesn't get assassinated, she can't cop the nom, playing it straight.

Yes, she has every right to go on her merry way. Every. Right.

And we have every right to pass judgment upon her, based on the consequences.

Because she's smart enough to know precisely where her projected path leads.

 

And that differs from what Obama's people are doing, how?
It also doesn't answer my question.
Would he drop out?
The most bizarre thing about what Ferraro said is that, racialism aside, you can slice any candidate that way. In 1992, Bill Clinton was the governor of a small state that was last in everything. But because he was a SOUTHERN governor, he got a leg up on the process.

 

Because that's how the paradigm crumbled, in terms of national top-of-ticket electibility, for a good while. Carter was greased to his first nom, for the same reason. But at '06 recedes in the rearview mirror, we've getting away from that . . . and about damn time.
