She's getting desperate...
Look at Hillary's latest pathetic strategy.
I mean, guys, are you serious? On the homepage of Hillary's website, this petition is advertised tremendously, as if she thought that a petition signed 100% by her fans who want her to get a nice delegate boost at the convention could make those delegates seated at the convention. It's been said over and over again: they're not seating delegates one sheerly by a beauty contest. I mean, come on!

Why isn't anyone on any of the shout shows reminding viewers that Hillary campaigned in these states even though she agreed not to? That's really at the root of the thing for me. It raises the matter of trust, and motives for running, her regard for party unity come November, etc....

"We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process," Clinton's campaign said in a statement. "And we believe the DNC's rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role."
-Quote from Clinton campaign, made on September 2, 2007,
upon signing agreement that Florida and Michigan won't count.

Hey guys & dolls, HRC is a lier and a "maroon" (m4me08).
BHO is a fluke, a flake, a phoney, a flamboozler, and a clever duper.
McBush has too many "senior moments"
So childrens, what are we gonna do, vote for Ralph Nader?

There is only one clear choice, a candidate that combines the cultural references of Montgomery Burns and the senility of Grandpa Simpson:
Mike Gravel in '08! He knows how to stare at a lake.

She has no plausible victory scenario at this point.
BUT if she keeps running a few ads against McCain, I won't complain too loudly. The latest 3 am ad wasn't a bad piece of work.

So Hillary is Rocky Balboa.
By her own admission, she' lost this race.
Obama = Apollo

Dude, did you miss Rocky II? Or how about Rocky IV when Rocky KOs Ivan Drago, in Russia, in front of a bunch of commies, and gets them to give him a standing ovation ... and he was only fighting in the first place to avenge Apollo who had been killed in the ring by Drago.
Say what you will about Hillary but leave Rocky out of this.

She may want to negotiate a little, you know. It's her way or the highway on this thing. She refused a caucus, and then has the gaul to call Obama the obstructionist. Gee -- he didn't want an election bought and paid for by Hillary supporters. Who would have a problem with that? All of the parts of her proposal only benefited her, and she wouldn't have it any other way. Great diplomat you're going to be Hillary.
Obama's been working in Florida on this mess. She refuses to negotiate. She gets all the delegates, or nothing. And calls him the obstructionist.
Let's be a little fair here.

"Obama's been working in Florida on this mess."
Not really, all he has done so far is send Rev
Al Sharpton down there to stir the pot, to effectively block a revote.
Agree to a strong-arm caucus, she might be a dumb blonde ,as some claim, but she's certainly not stupid.

So that would be the Pol Pot, right?

My main problem with her campaign on this is that she says that the voters should count but has no problem with receiving the nomination through the super delegates. Thus meaning that in the end the voters don't really count.
I know that the SD's overturning the voters is not against the rules and would even be supported if something were to actually show Obama as unelectable. However nothing has shown that that is true. Both candidates are in virtually the same boat as far as electability. Obama has Wright and Clinton has Bosnia. They have run a close race so to say one is more electable then the other is silly.
You may have all kinds of theories as to which states mean what and what may happen here or there, however it is all speculation. This primary has been completely different from those that have come before. These candidates have drawn unprecedented support. The democrats really do have the ability to change the map in 08. The republicans will come out swinging, they will be able to tear either candidate apart with the innuendo and lies, just like always. However I think we have two candidates that have the ability to fight these attacks. They do it differently but they are both very effective in the art of self defense.
