Biden alert over in DailyKos
Come on over, Biden is getting alot of credit for calling out Hillary yesterday. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/20/15217/4429/615/519074#c43

ABC News' Teddy Davis and John Santucci Report: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., will not be lining up behind Sen. Barack Obama when the Illinois Democrat becomes the pledged delegate majority winner later today nor does he plan to make an endorsement on June 3rd when the primary season draws to a close.

But in a Tuesday speech to the liberal Center for American Progress Action Fund on the "holes" in Sen. John McCain's foreign policy, Biden showed off why he might make a strong running mate for Obama, and he upped the pressure on Clinton to embrace the "probable" Democratic nominee two weeks from today.

"From my standpoint and my unsolicited prediction will be, come June 3rd, there will be a very hard accounting on the part of Hillary as to whether or not she stays and continues this fight or shortly thereafter whether or not she fully embraces Barack Obama," said Biden. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/05/biden-clinton-f.html

I am going to go post this in Goddurn Primaries.

1. I don't really think he was "calling out" Hillary.
I think, as always, Joe was being objective and pragmatic. It's true, she WILL have some serious decisioens to make about whether or not to continue, and I think that's all he was saying.

2. Well she better start making them fast
From what I have read, time's a wastin'. Old Gramps has had a few months now running as the Repube nominee. While the Queen Bee insists that FL & MI should be seated - she knows damn well why the DNC hasn't counted their votes, but now she is making this into some kind of sick conspiracy against the voters in those two crucial states.

Everytime I think she is calming down, she ratchets up the division in the Dem party, and the elder party members see it, like Biden. Man come June 3rd, they better make a fucking decision and get Clinton to stop.

3. I live in FL
and all of her ranting about the votes (and I understand the politics of it) has turned much of the media against obama when he is not the one who made the rules.

4. I think the witch is setting herself up for 2012
She is heeding O'Lielly's advice to "bloody up Obama" so that McInsanity can beat him in the fall.

I will NEVER forgive the Clintons for this bullshit. They might as well leave the party. But then again, I really don't care because I am an Independent anyhow, I don't want to be associated with the Dems and the way they have let this horse manure primary drag on -- yep, that's the ticket again in 2008, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

I don't know how Howard Dean can deal with being involved in all of this. Really.
