Only Al Gore could provide a semblance of distraction to such a thrashing.

1. the winner of nomination certainly isn't embarrassed.
what is embarrassing is the kind of ridiculous , bitter, sour grapes post that you have just made. Get over it. Hillary has been rejected. Sher has been tossed on the shit heap of history with the other also rans.

2. 20% pts of that is due to racism...
by people who actually confess that they voted for Hillary based on race.

I'm sure not everyone who votes that way will fess up so that is another chunk of Hillary's vote.

9. The racist vote is 20% +20% and it's probably higher than that.

4. Actually, Rove's buddy won by 35 points, not 25, but Obama could have lost
by 100% and he still will be the nominee.

11. There are a lot more hillbillies than royalty ... and they know a fence turtle when they see one
From a poster named sisterdo at tm

Bernstein apparently thought tonight, boy, she has an army. MSNBC is talking about her angry bitter women brigade-- don't they wish that's what we are. But we're not, we're the Democratic base.

We're all colors, genders, and orientations. Many are educated, some are highly educated, and the other's are just plain smarter than the people who would dare try to force America to pick a lip syncing (stealing other people's lines on the teleprompter) Pop Star when America and the world are in serious jeapardy.

From PA my favorite line was the person who said looking at BO was like: "If I told you I was going to build you a mansion, make it exactly how you wanted, and I took all your money......then you find out I'm not even a carpenter!"

From Kentucky my favorite line was reported here by ssmith and it went something like Obama is a "Fence Turtle." A smart farmer put it like this: "If you walked by a fence and saw a turtle perched up on it....you would know somebody had put it way up there, you just wouldn't know who." That's Obama to a smart Kentucky man. Who put that turtle wayyyy up there...we might not know who did it, but we know it didn't get there on it's own.

Genius.

So, blowhards.....who are the actual smart voters? The ones who quickly see through the Mirage no matter what you do, that's who. The wide and diverse base of the Democratic Party.

on the fence post.

7. I presume Pelosi and the other members of the Pelosi Club
will endorse today. I suspect others will too, after his resounding win in a blue state. Hill's last gasp was KY- not that she wasn't toast before her big win there. Obama only needs 64 more delegates to get to 2026. Hill needs 246. He'll pick up at least another 35 in the remaining contests. That means he only needs another 29 or so SDs. Hill, poor, poor hill, could pick up another 50 or so. She'd only need 190 SDs or something close.

Any sane hill fan knows she blew it. She ran a for shit campaign and she lost.

16. Yep, Pelosi held to her word that impeachment is off the table-
which she said BEFORE the 2006 election. I may not have agreed with her, but she was consistent. And she's advocated for diplomacy with Iran. She took heat for going to Syria. As for taking a hard line with Iran comoing from a supporter of Madame "Obliterate", that's a hoot.

Your gal is toaat. She lost. hilly is done. Too bad. Now shouldn't you run off to work for your new hero, John McCainiac?

8. LOL - question
Why is it that the only states that count are the ones that Hillary wins?

North Carolina? Unimportant.

Oregaon? Meaningless.

Cracks me up. We have 50 states. Hillary can't pick and choose which ones are determinative.

13. Not embarrasing.
It's great that Clinton has her base areas. Nothing wrong with that. They preferred her over him. This is a debate in one Democratic family.

15. He says he won't endorse.
But I am sure the consensus crowd is after him like dawgs after a racoon.

Climb, Al, climb! Stay above the fray. Don't be bullied! Don't be a puppet!!

17. Is Hillary still in KY shining on?
Obama made a nice full circle back to where this all started. Right back in the Hawkeye State of Iowa. Making this primary campaign a well organized and clean finish. :thumbsup:

After she was blown out in GA, VT, DC, VA, and other states, that's for sure.

20. If you'll notice.....
the replies you have recieved employ the use of Obama's greatest weapon in this campaign. The race card. They will, in the security of the bubble created for themselves, tell you that Clinton voters are choosing her because they are racist, and in the same breath, swear that the 90% support Obama enjoys from blacks is based solely upon his ability to be president, and not because he is black. If "oxy-moron" were in the dictionary, a picture of an Obama supporter would be usesd for visual depiction. They continue to scream "RACIST, RACIST, RACIST" at everyone, as has been the norm, and it will continue unabated long after the primary, and GE are over. If you weren't racist before this campaign started, by God you will be when they get through with you, unless you concede, and kneel at the alter. In their world of fantasy, it is the only thing that can save you. Notice that they are constantly reminding Clinton supporters that they don't need their vote in November. Obama supporters, along with the "millions" of republicans who have suddenly had a change of heart toward liberals, and democrats will be more than enough.
As an afterthought, this must be one of those "hundreds" of threads Obama fans speak of that is insulting, and demeaning to Obama, and in thier minds, equal to that of the Hillary-power hungry bitch, fucking whore threads we are bombarded with on a daily basis. Gee, how unfair. Thanks.

Appalachian whites, Fox News and Pat Buchanan.

25. It's amazing how she whups McCain in the match-up polls, with only those groups supporting her.

While McCain slams Obama to the mat and pins his ass.

33. Flatly, brazenly FALSE claim, Baghdad Perry, old pal.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/21/73639/7230/160/519521

In the new Reuter's poll cited in that story Obama wallops McCain by 10. In another new Rasmussen poll he beats McCain by 8. In fact, find a recent poll where McCain beats Obama.

Hillary Clinton is toast and in that Reuters poll Obama beats the hell out of her by 26 pts. She's a loser.

29. I expect many superdelegates now that Obama has the majority of pledged delegates.
Undecideds were waiting for that milestone; he's reached it.

31. yes, absolutely. It's over, the SDs know it's over

and even some DU Hillary supporters are shooting for VP now. Tho' an O/C ticket would be a disaster for them both, it'd multiply by their negatives and subtract by their positives, which is why it's a McCain dream, a FOX dream, but sure as hell not mine.

I'm just curious if he'll go over the top in May, or early June. May wouldn't surprise me.
