Pleez, pleez, pleez tell me this isn't a joke. I could actually get a good night's sleep without nightmares of the Dem's demonstrating how effective a circular firing squad can be, on national television, at the Convention.

I should add that supposedly one of the final nails in the coffin is the recent news that Obama won Texas:

She will concede today, then, tomorrow, she will announce her re-candidacy in a last ditch attempt to secure the schizophrenia vote.

If this is true, it would be outstanding news for the Democrats 9and bad for the Republicans) and could actually lead to an amicable Obama/Clinton ticket in the fall. Imagine that.

If only today weren't April Fools and this was for real...

Hey guys check out my Avatar!!!I wish with all my Heart it was real.

When was reality invited to join the Clinton campaign?

april fools!

April Fools.

In 1968, some newspapers planned to run (and did) a cartoon of Bobby Kennedy listening on a phone to LBJ telling him that he (LBJ) will be dropping out of the race ..... then the pause .... then the "April Fool!"

These cartoons were already in place and printed on editorial pages when, on the evening of March 31, LBJ actually DID announce that he would not seek or accept the nomination for re-election! So in my hometown, and I'm sure many others, you had a funny, impropable cartoon on the editorial page ..... and precisely the same information in a news headline on the front page. It was quite mind-bending, and I still remember the confusion that caused.

Wish DF's 'joke' had been confusing for the same reason...

While that would be the smart thing to do, we all know Hillary, so we all know this is bullshit.

Why can't every day be April 1?

Seems like everyday is April Fool's day in the Democratic Primary.

When is somebody going to develop a Rickroll-blocker for firefox? I'm super-cheap, but even I would be willing to pay for that.

Trolls will believe anything.

April Fools.

That is the meanest April Fool's joke I've ever been the victim of!

Happy April Fool's Day, DF. Also, marry me.

Hah! April Fool's! (And cute hat!)

Check the date folks....nice work DF

Bush to resign in discrace this afternoon! He has a well worded speech about how the Iraq war did not actually make the country more safe, and he can no longer deal with the guilt of the 10s of thousands dead from his mistakes.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we were older, and we didn't have to wait so long."

Don't I wish.

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS!! FOR HILLARY!!!

April fools!!!

I hate April Fool's Day. Especially when done by news organizations and places where people are trying to have serious conversations.

Hey, you kids! Get off my lawn!

And a good time was had by all. Hopefully. :)

I do sincerely hope that everyone enjoyed the joke and hopefully it wasn't the best gag you experienced today. I also hope that I haven't permanently stained my credibility in light of the date. For the record, I do not have any contacts within the Washington press corps. I do have a friend who is a freelancer in the Middle East, but that's another story. Anyhow, happy April Fool's day.

"In front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art" was a nice touch. The Rocky Balboa subtext brought it just to the edge of over-the-top.

And you all thought it was just a joke!

Okay, so we all knew the overt Rocky comparison was cocked and loaded, but I will again remind Senator Clinton and her supports about the genesis of Rocky Balboa. From the desk of Sly Stallone:

Early in my acting career I realized the only way I would ever prove myself was to create my own role in my own script. On my 29th birthday, I had $106 in the bank. My best birthday present was a sudden revelation that I had to write the kind of screenplay that I personally enjoyed seeing. I relished stories of heroism, great love, dignity, and courage, dramas of people rising above their stations, taking life by the throat and not letting go until they succeeded. But I had so many ideas in my head, I couldn't focus on any one. To cheer myself up, I took the last of my entertainment money and went to see the Ali-Wepner fight on closed circuit TV. Chuck Wepner, a battling, bruising club fighter who had never made the big time, was having his shot. It wasn't at all regarded as a serious battle. But as the fight progressed, this miracle unfolded. He hung in there. People went absolutely crazy. Wepner was knocked out in the 15th and final round, almost lasting the distance. We had witnessed an incredible triumph of the human spirit and we loved it.

That night, Rocky Balboa was born. People looked on him as the all-American tragedy, a man without much mentality and few social graces. But he has deep emotion and spirituality and good patriotism. And he has a good nature, although nature has not been particularly good to him. I have always seen him as a 20th Century gladiator in a pair of sneakers. Like so many of us, he is out of sync with the times. To all this, I injected doses of my own personal life, of my frustration at not getting anywhere.

Be careful what you wish for...

Clinton has a long way to go and a little April Fool's fun and another glitzy at campaign from Obama's campaign director are just par for the course. But fun and games aside, I don't think that my fellow Pennsylvanians will be axel-railroaded into voting for Obama in a big way. I think Pennsylvania is going to turn the primaries around. Then, Hillary can be elected with Obama as her running mate. Then, we'll be able to start getting the present mess mopped up.

Sorry I misspoke, meand to say loaded and clear>
