This may well be the first instance in recorded history of a library being named after a man who has more trouble correctly negotiating a sentence in his own native language than a snail has crossing an Interstate Highway safely.

Or the only person to ever have a library named after him, having never read a book cover-to-cover!

And, I assume, part of this 'secret plan' is that the remaining 303,999,999 American citizens suddenly forget the succession clauses of the Constitution?

ready:

Actually, his poll numbers have been going UP in nearly every recent national poll - and in every major swing state as well.

The only 'talk' about Hillary has been that she is on the short list and that her husband is a major pain-in-the-ass and the largest roadblock to her chances for the second spot.

Dijamo:

I hate to call your attention to this - but any and all monies donated to Hillary to 'pay her debt" (ignoring the fact that she and Billy retain an estimated $80 million fortune PLUS their cash-raising speech circuit abilities from now until Armageddon) are monies that could be better spent on, as you say, Obama's upcoming struggle to defeat John McCain.

But - as we are seeing this week - there remain a core of HillBillies who seem unable to accept reality for what it is - and are publicly both withholding their support (even though, true to their Trilby/Mesmer roots, they continue to blindly carry on a fight already lost - despite the supposed 'backing' that Hillary is now encouraging for Obama)) as well as voicing their 'demands' (an odd thing for losers to do) that they expect Obama to meet before they agree to jump on the bandwagon.

Sorry, my dear. If this is 'support' and 'fence-mending', then it is no mystery to me that Democrats have, in recent history, had so much trouble winning the White House.

If McCain is to be defeated in November (and if you think that isn;t going to be a VERY difficult task, you live in a dream world), then it is time for these background machinations and behind-the-scenes schemes and tantrums to end - and for HillBilly to FORCEFULLY AND UNWAVERINGLY demand that her backers get off both their asses and their high horses (an odd place for the losers to claim to be), get behind the party's nominee, and open their goddamn checkbooks. And if not to support Obama, then to pay off Hillary's self-imposed 'debt' and get her to shut her greedy, whiny mouth. And that includes her entire '18-million' strong cadre of ;supporters' who now, suddenly, seem unable to write a check - even for $1!!

Desidero:

Shouldn't you and your fellow infant-supporters be out with your hat in hand, shabbily dressed, carrying a frayed hat and begging for money to help the HillBillys revive their personal savings accounts.

I mean, after all, why should we expect them - having a net worth of over $100 million - to have to foot their own bills (so to speak) and accept their primary loss as a risky/bad investment?

I mean, after all, shouldn't her 'supporters' have to refill the Clinton family coffers back to their obscene pre-primary levels? I mean - after all - the height of morality has always been for the obscenely wealthy to have their net worth protected and enhanced by the very people they screw over - er - I mean 'represent'.

Actually:

I bring this up now because there are rumblings from Hillaryland concerning both the convention AND public declarations by three of her most 'ardent' supporters concerning her 'right' to have her debt paid off by 3rd parties (instead of from her own funds).

The situation is obscene. It would rank with Bill Gates asking a restaurant to comp his entire meal because the Baked Alaska was slightly subpar - claiming that it would be a financial hardship for him to have to pay for something that wasn't quite on a par with the Baked Alaska at a neighboring table.

The Clintons can afford to absorb this ;financial loss; - 5 times over. To have either them or their surrogates even THINKING of asking others to foot her bill is morally obscene. And to use it as a cudgel against the winning nominee of the political party they profess to love is beyond morally obscene.

Aunt:

Just a guess here - more people were willing to invest their hard-earned money in Obama than in Hillary?

As the first poster said - stop being rational!!!! :) :)

Oh - and a secondary point. The Clintons are collectively worth over $100 million. Why doesn't she pay her own damned debt? If SHE isn;t proud and confident enough in her OWN abilities, why should the res tof us foot a bill for someone who can cover it 5 times over?

WHY is there all this teeth-gnashing and hand-wringing over someone who does NOT need the money?

Perhaps Ms. McKinney can beat up her opponents?

Well, at least the white ones. :)

Posted at July 13, 2008 9:28 PM in response to McKinney is officially the one

Of course, no rational person believed in the LA Times inane 15-[pint Obama lead nationiwde.

Now that their poll is in line with all the others - the ones showing Obama comfortably ahead of mcCain in almost every demographic,I think we can safely stop worrying about the 897 Libertarians out there - who will vote for Barr (and thereby harm McCain) in any event. :)

Posted at July 12, 2008 5:25 AM in response to NEWSWEEK Obama's 14 point drop with Libertarians and independents

So let me see if I have this straight.

The McCain Team is actually BRAGGING that they have outspent Obama 3-1 in June and yet THEIR POLLING POSITION IS ACTUALLY SEVERAL POINTS *WORSE* THAN IT WAS IN MAY????????

Am I missing something here?

At this rate, let's hope they outspend Obama 4-1 o rmore! We could have an Electoral landslide!
