Is it time for Clinton to call it quits?

Yeah, I was surprised at how rude and disruptive some of the dipshit crybabies in the audience were. Really was shameful and embarrassing for them, made them look really pathetic.

did you catch this line?

"This body of 30 individuals has decided that they’re going to substitute their judgment for 600,000 voters — now that’s what I call democracy,” said Clinton adviser and committee member Harold Ickes, saying the Michigan plan would be “hijacking” delegates from Clinton.

so even though the comittee has resolved this, clinton will continue her campaign of hypocrisy. waaaaaaaaa.

pelosi needs to step in and s her the fu

Yes.

Know what I call democracy? Having more than one damn name on the ballot when voting. They should be grateful that the disaster that is Michigan's primary is even counting at all. The idea that Obama should get no delegates because that's "what the voters" said is sheer, lopsided bullshit. They had no option becides Clinton. This isn't Cuba. One option in an election is bogus. They basically want to penalize Obama for playing by the rules.

its clear that they will abandon their party regardless so who gives a **** what they think?

seriously toward the end when they werent able to restate the decisions because of all the chanting and yelling (by like only a dozen out of hundreds of people) i would have welcomed a bit of taser action.

What's going to be really fascinating to watch is how, come tomorrow, the Clinton camp attempts to spin Puerto Rico's win as a sign that she should be the nominee, despite them not even being able to vote in November. Good times.

on a somewhat unrelated note, I really do think Puerto Rico should become a state.

agreed there. on a similar note i think texas should be removed from the union and given back to mexico. we wont even have to redesign the flag.

And there's no real reason it shouldn't. But, what I hear is political pandering by Mr. Clinton. As well as hearing the neocon response to a state that consists mostly of merxican speakers getting up'ty. All it really comes down to is people thinking that 50 is a nice, round, democratic number.

I wasn't talking about anything related to the campaign, just throwing in a random thought.

...or maybe we could keep texas and nuke utah.

Come on, you can't echo a sentiment made by Mr. Clinton and then not expect people to assume it's related to the campaign.

Well, it's unfortunate you think so little of my position. But, there is no doubt you've been paying attention to what Mrs. Clinton says, and how she says it. It's often that she attacks the person over the position. I guess I strike you as someone who is easily led around by the nose. I'm not saying he appeals to the lowest common denominator, I'm saying she tries to. And never once did I say you were the lowest common denominator. And I can also see the possible clouds on the horizon. I have no doubt that anything positive accomplished by a possible Obama administration where Mrs. Clinton serves as the VP will be attributed to her.

As for the popular vote, I seem to recall her standing on the steps of capitol hill after the 2000 election, promising to lead the fight to do away with the electoral college. I also see it is still in effect

I did not address your position. I addressed the notion that because Barak Obama does not appeal to the lowest common denominator that he does not approach voters as if they are idiots.

I'm sorry that you're so skeptical, but I really was just throwing in a thought.

They're picking on him because he's black.

Telling me I support Mr. Obama because I'm being led around by the nose is clearly a statement on my preference in this election.

And more often than not, Mr. Obama does not speak down to people. This is perhaps his greatest weakness. It's one of the main reasons Mrs. Clinton calls him an elitist.

I'm skeptical because it came a day after Mr. Clinton said it on the campaign trail. If such is not the case, I'm clearly right there with you.

Barack Obama
Pledged:1,724
Superdelegates327
Total:2,051

Hillary Clinton
Pledged:1,586
Superdelegates291
Total:1,877

Needed to Win: 2,118

One need look no further than his most ardent and over-zealous supporters who cannot address how he will solve their problems, yet are being lead around by the nose by waning rhetoric.

He does not appeal to the lowest common denominator, but he no less approaches voters as if they are idiots than does any other politician.

well, its quite possible that i'll be asking for this thread to be closed tomorrow night. lets keep our fingers crossed.
