Surely you should be happy that Hillary is there to break apart the Democratic party? This, if nothing else, is a good thing. Why are you upset over it?
I still maintain that Hillary is better than Obama, though very marginally. It doesn’t mean I would vote for her. But Obama is an empty suit who has barely shown up even to cast votes, and those votes he did cast, are horrifying.
Just my two cents! I say, let’s see Hillary take it to the end! This will only help McCain.
Tulips is right Eric.
Isnt this what we want ?
Sure, the spiteful end of me doesnt want Hillary to win anything.
But this just brings her closer to the @ss kicking she will get from McCain.
I think part of eric’s problem with Hillary staying in the race and tearing the Democratic party apart is that her staying in the race won’t tear the Democratic party apart at all. The other part of eric’s problem is that McCain’s a loser either way.
As I said before, here’s a candidate on the ropes, losing 11 straight primaries, who was still able to raise $35 million in one month and then beat the so-called presumptive nominee in 3 out of 4 states last night, including the two biggest prizes.
A lot is being written today that Hillary doesn’t have a mathematical chance of winning. Drudge has a headline that she needs to win 97% of the rest of the delegates to win the nomination. So what? Obama has to win 77% of the rest of the delegates and it’s highly unlikely either one of them will be able to attain those figures. What’s even more unlikely is that whichever one doesn’t get the nomination will throw their support to McCain instead of the other Democrat.
Funny things always happen but it’s going to be a long year for John McCain, who is looking really, really old right now.
Hilary needs 97% of all the remaining delegates to get the nomination … it isn’t going to happen. Otherwise the projections and math show that B.Hussein goes into the convention with more delegates and the popular vote. Then it will realy hit the fan. In the immortal words of Flounder from Animal House. “Oh boy, is this gonna be great!” ;-}
You know, it wasn’t all that long ago when the candidates were almost always decided at the convention, and not even on the first or second ballot. The parties survived then and the Democrats will this time, too, even if neither Obama nor Clinton come into the convention with the nomination in hand, which is increasingly becoming possible.
Of course, the last time there was serious doubt as to who would be the nominee happened at the 1976 Republican convention when the unsuccessful challenger broke Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment ,”Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican,” and Gerald Ford, the incumbent and the nominee, later lost to Jimmy Carter.
Hitlery!(tm) has plenty of experience. You dont think Bill actually wore the pants for those 8 years they were in the White House, do you? Heck, he was trying to drop his pants as often as possible!
She is preferable to Obama because he’s so far to the left that Lenin looks conservative. He would immediately surrender to any opposition around the world. She would at least use the military that she detests, if necessary.
Anyway…I’m thinking of starting my own political party. I’ve even got a bunch of the bloggers and commenters over at Townhall already supporting me for a run in 2012 (I can’t run this year because federal law prohibits active duty military folks from running for federal elected office, but reservists are free to do so…I retire in 2010). I know I’d need to hit both the Powerball and the Mega-Millions to finance a run, but a Crawfish can dream, can’t he? I’ve posted my Party Platform in 3 parts over at my Swamp. Come on by and let me know if I’m lucid or out to lunch. http://constitutionalcrawfish.blogtownhall.com
Eric is right (and I don’t say that lightly, or often) but not in the way you think. My problem with Hilary is that she is anochronistic. She looks back at her, or her husband’s accomplishments with a certain amount of nostalgia. Much like older generations remember their childhood. However, the past was not the pot of roses that Hilary remembers. Furthermore, to quote an old adage, you cannot go back home again. We cannot undo 9/11. We cannot undo the housing market. We cannot go back the the Clinton era, which she has wished for in so many speeches. We can only go forward. I don’t want a president that “remembers when.” I need someone who looks to the future and is ready to move forward with the cards he or she is dealt. Hilary is looking backwards while Barak looks ahead. It is that simple.

Hi, how are you? We have Berlusconi, now!! Yes, I’m BlogMasterPg your Italian Blogger-friend. As You know, in my Country there is an american girl in prison. I think that girl is innocent, but italians laws are very hard versus suspected and she is still 4-5 months in prison without a process. I think the process will not be before a year. In my ‘Town blog ‘ ( http://perugiablog.blogspot.com/ ) I write about that thing, the ’strange’ Italian justice,, the reasons why she is still in prisons without proves, only opinions of media, yes now mass-media are as in Your Country: a Newspaper can decides of a person’s life. I think that thing is terrible and it could do something to change. What? I don’t know, but we writes and We MUST write about these tragedies. Best regards from BlogMasterPg, PERUGIA, Italy

Eric, I think it’s going to be fun watching those two go after each other!
Can you think of something to call Hillary besides “The Dragon Lady”? That’s the my name!
