Hilary Clinton has lost!!!!!! It's over!
It's been over for a long time now, but Senator Clinton has managed to hoodwink the media into playing the expectations game -- where people's expectations are more relevant that the reality of who is winning more states and delegates. But reality has a way of catching up with you.
I looked at the number of delegates Clinton and Obama had before the Ohio and Texas contest on March 4th and how many they have now. What do you think the result was? The media has been talking non-stop about Hillary's momentum and how Obama has been stumbling. So, that must mean she has really closed his lead, right?
Well, the reality is that Senator Clinton has lost 53 delegates since then to Barack Obama. He has widened his delegate lead to 155 delegates. She has absolutely no chance of winning this race. None.
How much clearer does this have to be before we call it what it is? She has no momentum. She does not have enough pledged delegates or superdelegates. She will not win the delegate race or the popular vote. She can't go on much longer like this. She will have to face reality very, very soon.
The only question that remains is whether she will be pushed out the door by the rest of the Democratic Party or whether she leaves voluntarily. Stay tuned for how that turns out.

31. Dave, face some uncomfortable facts. We have tried it the neocon way and it has been a disaster. This country can't survive another neocon junta.
IF Mc Cain wins a FAIR and HONEST election, he will have to dis-avow the failed policies of the Bush-Cheney Junta.
IF the republitards steal the election or pull off another outrageous, "October Surprise" this country will come apart.
It is your side of the poltical aisle which is calling Obama a black Muslim. It seems to be an equal combination of right-wing fear and ignorance.

So in the mind of a liberal we should mollycoddle our enemies to the detriment of ourselves. That is the "Stratergy of the Stupid".
I'll stick with: Kill them all, let Allah sort them out!!!!!!!

It is so refreshing to see Obama disavowing the DNC atack ads against McCain.
Oh wait, Machine Politician Obama is sitting silent in the pews. My bad :):):)
Paul Sparcello at 4:46PM on May 7th 2008
34. Paul, your post really is obtuse. It's a trend I see in your posts.
Why don't you just come out and call Obama a, "Negro Muslim." That's what you think. Just come out and say it.

35. Paul,
VERY funny line. Good work.

Obama is the one hiding his name from the public. Not me.
Obama is the one who prayed with J-Wrong in the basement and lied about it. Not me.
Obama is the one who puts links to the New Panther Party on his web sites. Not me.
The Obama's are the ones rubbing elbows with unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Not me.
The Obama's are the ones who received real estate compensation from political fixer Tony Rezko and his wife. Not me.
Obama is the one that Hamas spokesman Ahmed Yousuf is endorsing. Not me.
BTW: The ultra-liberal LA Times beat us redneck crackers with the "Magic Negro" moniker.

37. Paul, if you want to play by the, "Obama Standard" which you wing-nuts have devised, then John McCain supports the idea of assassinating law enforcement officers.
By applying the, "Obama Standard," you want me to vote for a man who advocates killing cops. McCain's supporter advocates killing cops, so McCain advocates it too, according to the, "Obama Standard."
All it takes for a candidate to be tarred with that brush is to have a supporter who is a lunatic.
How can you support a man who advocates shooting cops in the face, Paul? How?

38. Rev. Wright’s church preaches Black Liberation Theology
Black Liberation Theology has it's base in Marxism....
is anti-Christian....
stresses use of violence....
If you are Catholic you go to a Catholic Church..
If you are Jewish you go to a Jewish Church
If you are Methodist you go to a.......
GET IT ??????
NOW YOU KNOW WHY Obama STAYED IN THAT CHURCH FOR 20 YEARS.

Must be "LiBBy" you are whining about.
Liddy stated that if rogue officers/agents enter your domain with out properly identifying themselves that head shots are your best defense since they have vest on.
Here is a link to an interview with the information and a little history concerning the original DC Madam/Democrat Party Call Girl Ring. Enjoy!!!

40. and you wonder why condelessa rice states that america has a BIG problem with race-still, and here we are in 2008, still hearing all this hate filled stuff about race, color and religion.......
obama is christian, it seems you are not, because christians would not spew all this hate race related rherotic coming from most of you who have written on this site....
also, we need change, as we had with JFK, and during his time, it was also because he was young, and then it was because he was catholic, that was 40 yrs ago, and here we are still hearing the same hate filled stuff.......
do you not think that he would surround himself with the best advisors, as JFK did, as clinton did ??? as so many presidents have....there is no job discription for the job of president, so many of our past presidents have come into office without any expierence...but they were smart enough to surround themselves with the best cabinet of smart men and women....no doubt barack will do the same, and no he will not surround himself with the likes of rev. wright or ayers, clinton did not surround himself with his cohorts from arkansas, he kept them on the outer perimiter and then used them for all his underhanded deals, as did hillary.....i came from an era of segregation, we hispanics were treated as less than 2nd class citizens, i am american born, i do not ever want to go back to those days when i was a young girl and went thru so much humiliation, the days of racial divide should be long gone, and only people that continue to feed on the divisiness that people fall into when they fear the unknown, will this continue...supposedly we are all adults and we are better than that....

41. Cut the crap, Paul!
Convicted, hard-core felon, G. Gordon Liddy, was talking to his ignorant, AM hate-radio listeners, advocating the assassination of law enforcement officers and telling those listeners the most effective way to kill said officers in the performance of their duties.
Since you and your ilk set a standard where candidates are tarred by the words and deeds of the people who support them, it is only fair that you apply the same standard to Mc Cain.
You guys feign great indignation over some washed-up 60's radical who gave $200.00 to Obama's campaign. Admit that you lame-brains had never even heard of Ayers until it was brought up as a way to tar Obama.
Liddy is a well known criminal who has a right-wing, hate-radio show, which has, as its demographic, people of the Okane-Dave-Sparcello crowd. Mc Cain goes on there and swaps spit with a convicted felon who worked out of the White Hosue basement; a right-wing Nazi worshipper who advocates killing law enforcement officers. McCain also accepted a $2000.00 campaign contribution from the wannabe cop-killer!
Live with it, Paul. You and yours set the standard.

42. Obama votes "Present" in the Senate or asks that his vote be changed from yes>no or no>yes.....
He says & does nothing in church while his pastor spews hate & anti America sentiment....
says nothing when rev. Wright cuddles up to Farakkhan...
He wants to make decisions for us as the President of our country ???
A man who is unable/unwilling to make decisions wants to be the most powerful person in the world ??

Black Liberation Theology is , at it's core, anti-Christian
LaBlondieLoca at 6:33PM on May 7th 2008
44. If you doubt what I wrote GOOGLE "Black Liberation Theology"
You choose the church, people, friends in this world that are consistent with your beliefs...
If you stay for 20 years that has to mean you agreed with the teachings.....
you should not knock Christians for pointing out the truth....

Hey LaLondieLoca,
Not just loca, sos una BOLUDA de primera e Ignorante!
Clearly, you know very little about Religions and all manner of things.
Blondie, hmm… what do you know exactly about Black Churches? Furthermore, where did you get that Blacks are not religious and anti-Christian? Furthermore, just so you know there are no such things as Jewish Churches. Jews go to Synagogues or Temples. Just how stupid are you, really?
Honestly, people you are all so full of ignorance and hate you will say and do just about anything to get your stupid ass unfounded believes across to anyone naïve enough to listen to your crap.
