Sounds like berniegoetz's chinchilla explained that 'theory' to him.

berniegoetz, I read that same book. I find it very weird that you've come to a conclusion filled with such anger and misunderstanding.

"Quasi-militant? The distance between you and reality grows with each passing day...." I agree. There's nothing quasi about Obama's militant anti-white attitude. Long before this whole Rev. Wright shitbomb I read Obama's first book and was amazed. I'm not handing the keys to the country to some asshole with a chip on his shoulder over his white mama. If you ask me he just can't come to grips with the fact that his father was a philanderer who ditched him and his mother for greener pastures and that it was people like his white mama and his typical white person grandmama who raised his ass and put the time in as parents to get him where he is today. The only time he ever takes pride in being half-white is when it serves to deflect comments about his anti-racist beliefs which are well documented in his own words and have existed long before Rev. Wright walked onto the scene.

#16 - How could anyone possibly be undecided between McCain and Obama at this point? You'd have to be stupid or uninformed to be on the fence with such a stark choice. #17 - McCain isn't distant from Bush on the big issues. Obama needs to embrace his liberalism and shove it right down McCain's wrinkled throat. America is sick of this GOP trying to erase our founding ideology of liberalism from history and we're done taking it.

I dunno.. your posts have proper spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Tough to make a drunk-dialing claim. Dude69: The situation you describe will occur to any President, since the Senate will not have a 60-vote majority any time soon. What exactly do you think McCain will be able to accomplish with a Democratic Congress?

The way I see it, if and when Hill bows out, she would do a half-ass "endorsement" of Obama, signaling to her loyalists to sit out the general election. The Republicans will bring back Wright and any other potential damaging issues, as well as label Obama as liberal, which is a death sentence in the general election. Hopefully McCain is distant enough, and perceived to be smarter than GW to get the independent votes and be elected. Obama is not going to nor able to change anything if elected. He'd HAVE to water down everything he promised in order to pass any legislation. I'd rather have a president that can get some things accomplished then sing kumbaya for 4 years, beacuse that's all he's gonna do.

Does look like the end for Hillary but I hope she fights on until the convention, courting and counting to the last delegate. It's definitely to her benefit to hurt Obama's chance so that McCain can get the win, so she can run again in 4 years. Obama is gonna be brutalized by the well run Repubican PR Machine. Anyway, McCain is getting my vote.

It's starting to make sense how the same electorate that enabled a George W into the White House can do the same for a quasi-militant black man.

The only difference between McCain and Obama (or Clinton) is how much I am going to have to pay for an incompetent government. They will both coddle the boomer base and drive the country further into the ground. If we had any sense we would elect Warren Buffet. However, if I were Buffet I would not take the captain's chair on this sinking ship for all the money and power in the world.

No babyhitler, He'll get the votes from independents... as well as many of those Hillary hotheads when the dust settles. When Obama and McCain go head to head, and the ugly truths about Iraq, abortion rights, the hope for relief from home foreclosures, the possibility of a war with Iran, our dismal standing with the rest of the f***ing planet... and so on, become the topics of discussion voters will abandon McCain like hairs from Donald Trump's scalp. I doubt Americans sick from the state of our country today will really vote McCain, even Hill supporters won't be willing to cut of their noses to spite their faces (hell, voting him in would be cutting off your head to spite your face!).

um...is Hill trying to say that Obama has received more donations than she has or that she has spent more "wisely"? People put their $$ where their votes are and if the "Clinton Machine" couldn't come up with the do-ra-me then maybe she should be thinking about her chances at the nomination

Now if you count votes that were agreed upon to not count, and if you declare victory in a state no one else is declaring and if you somehow sweep every thing left to come, Hillary, you've got this in the bag. Your smugness is rivaled only by your pandering!

Hillary Clinton is speaking right now - she says how she's come behind, notes how Obama has outspent her (so please go to her website and donate some money) and how she's from the Indiana area (well, Illinois).
