I'm grateful his staff didn't put him out on the court wearing his traditional white shirt and tie.

In reality, I've been begging his people to have some photo ops of him on the court. It's a perfect entree to the Reagan Dems.

As they say on the South Side of Chicago. Never give a sucker an even break. We've moved past you Hillary and we're not coming back.

Are you aware that Senator Clinton has just asked that the Texas County Conventions be postponed. Perhaps at the rate things are progressing we might be able to nominate a candidate by Feb09.

Can you suggest to me the reason that the Florida and Michigan primaries were never an issue with her until after the campaign was underway. The DNC had made that call almost a year ago.

This suggests that Clinton's promise to get the lobbyists out of the White House is really a half truth. Her lobbyists will have the run of the house while those that oppose her won't. It reminds me of the kid on the block who was the last one picked for teams. So the kid began bringing a new baseball. And if he wasn't chosen he'd take his ball home with him.

This whole episode of vote/revote would have some validity if the timing wasn't so obviously partisan. Where were these money peddlers in the one year time frame between the decision not to follow the rules and Hillary's losses at the polls. If they had come at the DNC a year ago, they'd have had some credibility. Now they're just poor losers.

Time is running out on them. Their bargaining position is reduced as the clock ticks towards an inevitable Obama victory.

Let's talk facts. No one is guaranteed the right to vote in a party primary. Each political party establishes its rules. Each state party is subject to the national party rules.

Imagine if some football teams played games prior to the established starting date. Would that be acceptable? How about starting a marathon race before the starting time?

Finally, this issue was begun almost a full year ago. Tell me why Senator Clinton didn't complain at that time. We all know why. She thought it wouldn't matter.

Now she's seriously behind and her campaign is grasping at straws. Sorry Hillary, you lost your credibility due to your indifference for the past 12 months.

Exactly right. It's amateur hour lately. The Obama spokesmen are like deer in the headlights. You forgot to also mention the Texas Senator on Matthews.

And, instead of reacting to attacks, the Obama people should be throwing their own attacks. I'd rather see the Clinton people on the defense for once.

In reality, this issue would not have even been an issue had not the Clinton campaign fallen behind. The GOP is merely piling on.

Posted at March 7, 2008 4:25 AM in response to Florida Follies

To suggest that because Hillary is losing the rules should be changed is anything but democratic. Where was the need to manage this issue before she fell behind?

Sorry Senator Clinton, just because you're getting upset doesn't justify changing the playing field. It's not about you. It's about the rules that everyone agreed to abide by.

It seems that there is no longer a moral high ground after the past week. Clinton has decided to throw the kitchen sink. And while Obama is not inclined to get into a slugfest, his toughness has been questioned. Methinks he'll take off the gloves and begin throwing first punches.

As for the UAD's, since they are selected out of the public eye, I'd expect a no holds barred campaign.
