Re: is diary divisive? (2.00 / 7)

Followed by the "Draft Hillary, even if she dropped out" diaries, and the "She suspended, she didn't drop out" diaries and the "If he doesn't pick Hillary for VP, I'm leaving the party" diaries.

Hopefully to be followed by the "I was wrong" diaries

Re: is diary divisive? (2.00 / 2)

At the risk of stating the obvious, I think the "I was wrong" diaries will be something we see in November, not necessarily sooner.

It's hard to say who will be writing them though.

2004 swing state margins: PA-2%, OH-2%, IA-1%, WI-0.5%, MI-3%, FL-5%, NM-1%; Alienating 50% of the party is a luxury we can't afford.

We'll see those two years into a McCain presidency, assuming the Clinton cultists own up to what they did.

Hillary caused McCain to beat Obama ? Racist! (1.00 / 0)

She did it by being a far superior fit for the job of President.  Most of the primary voters, most of the Democrats how don't do primaries all agreed she would be so much better in the job that Obama lost.

Maybe the Obama people are so eager to end the campaign because they are noticing that his numbers are dropping, he does not have a broad enough coalition to be a winner and, oh yes, he has no experience and is tememperamentally totally unsuited to handle the respondibility of the Presidency and he cries 'racist' at every turn and always refuses to take responsibility for his mistakes but is very quick to take responsibility for others acheivements and ideas and speeches.  Start with his pre-law school "community organizer" job and google it.

Try to find an acomplishment he actually did the work for or contributed his dues to.  Maybe a lot of people are seeing this coming and really sorry he got such a good head start in the primaries.

 Can't imagine what anybody thought qualified him for President except his self annointing and the money.

Re: Hillary caused McCain to beat Obama ? Racist! (2.00 / 0)

And all that money came from who?  Oh yes, millions of people who think he will be a good president.  Remind me how many thought Hillary would be so good that they bothered to donate to her?

You mean the fabled 1.5 million donors? (1.25 / 4)

Have you done any research on the investigation of the under $200 donors who don't have to be reported and who make up the bulk of Obama's  1.5 million 'donors'. Are you familiar with the way things are done with money in Chicago campaigns?  You might want to check out some of the articles in the Chicago press.  The Republicans already have.

Obama does have John Kerry's list of 3 million donors from the 2004 campaign and has been using it to "share" with friendly superdelegates as a reward.  But...nevermind.

If you are interested in the subject, start with the Sun-Times archives.  You can google Chicago Board Games or the current Fitzgerald Investigations on money and political coruption in Chicago involving Obama donors. Also the NY Times had a revealing summary piece July 30, 2007 on Obama in Chicago.

Is it possible for you to give him even the slightest credit for running an amazing fundraising machine - or must you smear every achievement?

Re: You mean the fabled 1.5 million donors? (2.00 / 1)

I vote for "must smear every achievement".  Honestly - popping over here from a link on the Big Orange is - alarming.  The logic being applied is illogical.

I"m in la-la land!!  Go Obama!

Re: Right, cause it's always the bitches fault (none / 0)

The political process starts with lots of Presidential hopefuls and winds its way to November when there are 2 candidates with a chance, 1 or more candidates with no chance, and ultimately a winner is determined.

Blame and credit are assigned willy nilly - and can be pretty much ignored because most are completely useless hysterical gum-flapping.

I will a while longer before I decide who's to blame for Hillary's failure to capitalize on her early inevitability.

I know gender-baiting when I see it.

And "bitches"?  Grow up.  If McCain wins it'll be the fault of the people who voted for him.  The diarist says a lot of people will do that as revenge against the voters.

It's not blaming Hillary.  It's quoting the diarist.
