I really get tired of all the Obama fanatics touting about how Obama has the popular vote, Obama has won more states, Obama has more delegates, Obama is the chosen one, etc. but you always forget to note that these results were captured prior to all the hell storms that came afterwards. Reality check... Obama has lost his popularity and Penn is proof that the tide has turned. Obama will be spinning out of control and crashing in due time. Everybody knows that McCain will come after Obama with both barrels loaded and Obama has provided plenty of ammunition to the enemy... all the money in the world won't save Obama so might as well save yours. Do you seriously believe that Obama still has a chance at president? Good thing you have your hopes, dreams and cool aid to get you through the long dark nights ahead. Get used to the first female president... President Hillary Clinton.

Then you have idoits like Al Sharpton today saying that he will see to it that the blacks within the democrat party will vote for McCain if Obama gets screwed over by the super delegates in favor of Clinton.
Hey Al, if Hillary gets it what else will you stir up?
No need to use your game of threatening the supers like you just did because any smart super would see what it is your doing and vote for the better candidate anyway.

I see many supers changing their mind as time goes by.

I still think Floirda and Michigan will have a huge role in the end and Hillary will win the popular vote and then cannot be denied the nomination.

OK I have explained why I think seating them 50/50 was the only fair thing to do in another post.

Can you explain to me how you see this turning out differently.

As evidenced by his finish at 10% behind Clinton when he was 20% behind her in the PA polls several weeks ago, in a state whose demographic seemed to have been tailor-made for her? Dream on.

And I'm getting really tired of ANY hardcore candidate supporter, no matter who they might be rooting for.

Before you jump up and say Hillary will win the vote, let her win most of the next few contests.
Last time I checked, it was April 24, 2008..... not November 4, 2008. Nothing has been decided yet.

And the hell storms your talking about, (if this is a fair country) Hillary and McCain will have to suffer, too.
I almost don't even care anymore. Whatever happens, whoever gets the nominie, I don't care. I just want this b.s. to end, NOW. If this whole thing is just tied up at the end....flip a friggin' coin or something.

The actual finish was Clinton- 54.6%, Obama- 45.4%, a difference of 9.2%. Therefore, despite what some media outlets insist on reporting, Clinton was denied her double digit victory

Give me a break.

Obama has alot more dirty laundry that has recently been hung out to dry and it will be rehashed times ten by the republicans come election time. He will not have a hope or a prayer.

In the end Hillary will win the nominee and Obama will be VP because the dems want to win and that is the best way to go about winning. The majority of people do not like Obama and won't vote for him for president but they will vote for Hillary and Obama will bring in the rest of the votes. That is what you call a winning strategy. The republicans will not be able to attack Hillary in regards to patriotism, racism, radicalism.

I see this repeated but fact is Obama had pulled virtually even with Clinton before bittergate.

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_042108.pdf (broken link) has Obama ahead by 3% as late as April 21.

Poll: Clinton Pennsylvania Lead Shrinks To 5 Points - Politics on The Huffington Post has Clinton by 5% on April 1.

Actually, I may have to take that back... I think John Edwards would be better because Obama has too much baggage and too many enemies... he may not bring in that many votes afterall. Maybe a woman and a black man together would be too much for Americans to swallow and they would flock to McCain... yeap, maybe Clinton/Edwards ticket would fly better.

Very funny post! I do not consider the Hilary at all feminine! Also it appears Obama will get the nomination and I do not feel sorry for all the racists!
