How did that BLONDE get all those BLIND people to the polls?!?!?!

Amazing.

That "Blonde" managed to get all those "Blind" people to turn out in droves to vote.

Just for future reference.

ETA: :sarcasm:

Way to woo the opposition.

We lack your herd mentality, however.

you know for the seeing eye dogs?

My, you are just the sort of people we can be proud of.

no sense of humor....
besides, if you weren't just itching to be offended, you would see that the snausages were for the dogs...

They think they are prophets for a damn martyr as it is....

it's scary!

So caught up with irrelevant things like jobs and going to the doctor that they lose sight of what's really important: pretty speeches and New Agey platitudes.

What dumbasses!

Remember, folks...it's not a pony if it oinks.

SEND MONEY TO HILLARY NOW OR SHE WILL




IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DELEGATES

How many chaosians did Hilly get?

I used to live there. Only unlucky people who can't escape still call it home.....the rest just rust there. I'll up my antie to another 10 spot.

Which is why she lost in single digits and has a campaign that is bankrupt.

The 'youth' voter turnout was a whooping 12%!!

Blond is beautiful (even tho I prefer my red hair)

:rofl:

Are you sure it was that low?

He's supposed to be carrying the youth vote.

platform is not such a good idea.

The whole kool kiddies attitude needs to go: it's not very effective to campaign against "the uneducated" in a nation where only about a fifth of voters have college degrees, or to blame all of the nation's problems on the old when old folks are the only demographic that votes in large numbers.

It does seem to come across that way. "Get off my White House lawn, you baby boomer-geezers!"

is not about winning elections in order to take power and make changes in the world.

It is, instead, about preening and posing and declaring one's moral and intellectual superiority to the unwashed masses. Politics, for these people, serves as a religion substitute spiced up with a bit of therapy and performance art.

That attitude has always been around, but it's become especially common these past few months.

Perfectly put.

:thumbsup:

and mean old women, an obvious declaration of the poster's intellectual and moral superiority.

But wait -- aren't we Dems supposed to like the ordinary people? Should we be ASSuming those things about voters?

Maybe the voters in PA think Obama is an arrogant snob without enough experience to be president.

That's what I think. I also think it's a damned shame that the first black candidate to get this far in the primaries is a guy with so many connections to people of questionable ethics. It's going to get ugly and some people who support BO will see how blind they have been.

:rofl:

:rofl:

And, of course, young. Because Obama the frontrunning underdog always wants it both ways.

and the cool updates on their cell phones to feel connected

Those youtube video songs paying tribute to Obama like he really did something

but standing in line to vote...ah, no

These are the ones Obama has been waiting for???

:rofl:

some movement eh?

It's impossible to sustain such a level of hypermanic enthusiasm for any candidate. He's the one that insisted on talking about issues, and it will become clear that his policies don't differ very much from Hillary's.

Holographic bumper stickers, that'll do it! :)

His stand on the issue is "I agree with Hillary" a me too campaign that stands for change?

the lowest voting percentages by age group. I had heard many reports on how energized the youth were for Obama.

from DU, heh, some are in this thread!

Sour Grapeberry koolaid tastes awfully...bitter.

that would be my guess..

Probably neither of us will change our minds. So why the insults to fellow DUers and Democrats?

I just don't understand how Obama could have lost!

Anyone?

as his goddess.

And how does Rev. Wright feel about that?

... that less than two months ago, the Blonde was ahead by 25 points in PA, and won tonight by a significantly smaller margin.

Apparently the blind behind the blonde are dwindling, rather than increasing, in numbers.

Interesting to see you still clinging to your ridiculous stereotypes.

... when the numbers speak for themselves?

I remember a time when Molly's hair was BLONDE.

I am a natural redhead, same as Molly.

I doubt very much that she would approve of you or your ridiculous stereotyping of women.

Molly speaks from beyond the grave...
I will not support Hillary Clinton for president
January 20, 2006

AUSTIN, Texas --- I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president.

Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone This is not a Dick Morris election. Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible little dodges.

The recent death of Gene McCarthy reminded me of a lesson I spent a long, long time unlearning, so now I have to re-learn it. It's about political courage and heroes, and when a country is desperate for leadership. There are times when regular politics will not do, and this is one of those times. There are times a country is so tired of bull that only the truth can provide relief.

... my OP about the "Blonde Leading the Blind" had anything remotely to do with "the stereotyping of women", you are just the kind of delusional person that Molly delighted in skewering.

You fancy yourself a Molly surrogate.

You ain't even close.

well she sure as hell didn't approve of your candidate....
:shrug:

...as a Molly 'surrogate'. But I also doubt that she would have viewed an 8 to 10 point margin in this instance to be a "significant win" in view of the fact that same candidate had a 20-point-plus lead a few weeks ago.

Molly had common sense - which included an ability to deal with simple math.

This has nothing to do with vote counts.

It has to do with your ridiculous assumptions about women.

You made your bed.

... if you think that OP had anything remotely to do with blondes, you missed the point by miles - nay, by light-years.

...but thank you for using light years correctly, as a measure of distance, not time. And yes, I'm a geek.

Feminism has not cured those women at all.

:eyes:

- 'dwindling' instead of increasing? You must live in a parallel universe where things run backwards!

... a win by 8 to 10 points tonight.

Yeah, I guess you're right - I must be living in an alternate universe!

Everyone expected poll nos. to change and come closer, as they always do, the closer the primary gets.

Everyone expects a 20+ point lead to shrink that dramatically. Sure.

After spending almost as much in 6 weeks as Sen. Casey spent in a year running for the senate in 06...

All it took was $2 million a week to limit the decline after losing Ohio and Texas and Hill's subsequent PA bounce to 4-6 points was $2 million a week for six weeks!

And he still lost. By NINE. I'd just about bet that if the money were equal, and there hadn't been such a ridiculous amount of lag time between primaries, she would have won bigger (especially since Obama went negative at the end).

What happened to all the predictions on Monday and early Tuesday here, that Obama would pull the rabbit out of his magic hat and WIN Pennsylvania?

edited for typos

... Hillary had a 20+ point lead in PA on Obama in early March. She managed to win by 9.

The fact that Obama had more 'money to burn' is due to the fact that he is raising more money. His contributors send that money for the sole purpose of using it.

Are you suggesting he should be limited to spending what Hill spends - you know, Hillary whose campaign was blowing millions back in January, because she was going to have the nomination "all wrapped up" by Super Tuesday?

And were all for public financing of elections, now are crowing about how much $$$ Obama has raised. I guess it's different (hell, of course it's different) when your candidate is the one with the deep pockets.

Bake

... back in January, because she'd have the nomination "all wrapped-up" by Super Tuesday, don't come cryin' now.

Obama's raising of funds is reflective of his massive support; ergo, braggin' rights.

And funny, I don't recall the Hill campers discussing the "deep pockets" factor when she was rolling in dough.

I just hope she has the decency to pay her debts to the small business vendors who she's stiffed - but I'm not holding my breath, "decency" not being her strong suit.

he has a problem. People with the funds to bombard the area with ads usually wins. And he did that. Land, air and sea they were pummeled with millions and millions of dollars worth of ads. And the "blond" is still standing.

This'll prolly get locked, but who cares? Funny post, Beausoir!

from what I've heard.

:spray:

And who didn't see this coming a mile away?

Yes, it would indeed appear that there was a significant racist element among Hillary voters. Sad that we still have people like that in our party.

Should we then also assume that AAs who vote FOR Obama are doing it because of his race?

Bake

That's not what you said originally.

Bake

Nobody wants to talk about it, but there's a measurable segment of voters in PA who voted for Hillary because they don't want a black president.

This forum is entirely too reactionary to have a thoughtful discussion about racism, and why it's different when white voters vote based on race than it is when black voters vote based on race (hint: it has to do with the very definition of racism).

I've been here since DU's very first days (my original nic was Not_over_it), and I've seen many attempts at discussing this on DU go down in ugly, angry flames. I'm not going to even attempt it anymore here, but I'm also not going to ignore the fact that it's playing a part in this race, and not in a way that anybody should take any pride in.

And before anybody else brings it up, yes, I do think there's been sexism (against Hillary) in the primary, too (I'm a woman, btw), but I don't think it's been anywhere near as rampant or as ugly as the racism has been. The racist garbage I've seen this election season (and I'm not referring strictly to DU) has taken my breath away.

(and for the zillionth time, I'm not even an Obama supporter--I'm an Edwards supporter who'll vote for the eventual nominee)

They never see the results..... but then neither do the rest of us.

Surely Obama could not have lost on the merits!

:argh:

:toast:

Glad that the world isn't made up of just people on this site.

:-)

like her hair color, is FAKE?

If so, that's FAKERY!! AUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHH!! Off with their heads!!!

:sarcasm:

Bake

simply that she is not a blonde, so in fact her "blondiness" is fake. Not abig deal, not a deal at all, actually, blonder looks good on her.

But you can fool enough to win an election, or two.

For myself, I'm not going to vote in our primary. I will vote for the nominee in November, because it is better than the Evil Party winning again. I really don't care about either candidate - my guy's already out of the race. But it is very amusing to see all the people who have claimed Hillary was exactly the same as McCain, or the AntiChrist, or a secret Repub mole, etc. etc get their asses handed to them.

Face it:

More people in PA voted for Hillary than Obama.

They did it because they like what she has said, not because they are racists, or stupid, or Repubs trying to throw the election. She has more of an appeal to people who feel disenfranchised by the system, whether it is because they are poor, or out of work, or rural, or whatever. The Obama camp would be wise to try and determine exactly why that is, rather than simply trying to denigrate the people who didn't vote for Obama as being too stupid to know what is good for them.

On edit: It also might behoove some of the Obama camp on this site to realize that other people, who also belong to this site, have opinions which are every bit as valid as their own.

Win at any cost; that's our Hillary.

Who cares if it poisons the political dialog, right?

Seriously

Every vote is sacred folks. We know you worked darn hard down tehre and we appreciate every one of you.
