BREAKING NEWS! Prominent Clinton backers suggest fair decision process
FROM THE AP: Speaking this morning, on Fox and Friends, Jon Corzine, Ed Rendell, Even Bayh, Charlie Rangel, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, Ted Strickland and Jennifer Granholm all agreed that the only fair way to decide the Democratic nomination is to base it on who has given birth more times. Upon the miraculous realization that Senator Clinton is winning that battle in a very close 1-0 match up and after further revelations that Senator Obama has absolutely no chance of catching up, the Clinton backers called on Senator Obama to give up and give the party a chance to heal.

Obama gave birth to a kidney stone... which is equally painful, he even called it Barry "The Rock" Obama Jr.

Wouldn't it be III, since Barack is already a Jr.?

Give it up hillbots. Your baby math is delusional. A President doesn't need babies. A President needs cojones. I counter your baby math with nad math, which Obama wins by a landslide 2-0.
And no fair counting Bill's nads. Hillary cannot cherry pick when she wants to take credit for Bill's genitalia and when she doesn't.

I hope Sinbad won't be upset that you've decided to horn in on his territory of consistently bringing the funny.

Ovaries are gonads, too.

Wait a minute, I see the scam here. Hillary supported the Family Medical Leave Act which encourages employers to offer paid and unpaid maternity leave for working mothers. Now she wants to be president. And what's she going to do, first thing on the job? That's right, have a baby and go on leave. Women!

I would submit that any of Hillary's backers are eligible via the "given birth" metric, as they've all birthed the whopper that she's still in this thing...

This is not that far fetched considering all the crazed "how can we rig this so Hillary is the winner" arguments from both HRC surrogates as well as the MSM

After some checking I've discovered that Chelsea was born premature. Since she was born early the birth doesn't count. The DNC decided Hillary didn't actually ever give birth. Score still 0-0

The given birth counting method has a built in gender bieas against men. It is rigged to always have women win. There is even a famous case of a virgin giving birth.
Let us make it a fair contest. Nominate the candidate who has had the most sex. Bill Clinton would have won under that rule, and HIllary will......well, wait a minute.....Never Mind!!!!!!!

Actually it was Bill who came early. Hillary got preganant anyway. The pregnancy counts. No more whining.

Wouldn't count Obama out of this one just yet. He certainly has a certain girlish look about him.....who knows

Really? That's the absolute best punchline you can cook up, Lville? Were you writing under heavy sniper fire or what?

What's the difference - A nut with two boobs or a boob with two nuts? I'd trade them both for just 1 decent progressive.

Hah, I have been avoiding this site a lot lately. It's nice to see we can lighten up a bit from time to time. =)
Thanks for the reminder.

Since delegates are proportional, doesn't that mean they have to divvy up Chelsey?.....Ouch
