2008 Primaries Thread 3: The Rejecting and Denouncening

Three days ago?

3/29, never forget

Okay, because I love any opportunity to discuss Rocky:

In a speech in Philadelphia today, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, will compare herself to Philly icon Rocky Balboa.

"Well, could you imagine if Rocky Balboa had gotten half way up those Art Museum steps and said, 'Well, I guess that’s about far enough?'" Clinton will ask, according to her prepared remarks released to the press.

"Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common," she will tell the Pennsylvania A.F.L.-C.I.O. audience. "I never quit. I never give up. And neither do the American people."

Um….Senator?

Rocky lost.

It was a split decision, but the judges (superdelegates?) awarded the fight to Rocky's black opponent, Apollo Creed.

Rickrolling stupidest internet joke ever

'rocky's black opponent'????

"Eye of the Tiger" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks from July 24, 1982. It was preceded by "Don't You Want Me" by the Human League and followed by "Abracadabra" by the Steve Miller Band.

Rocky drew the first fight and won the second with Creed.

Rocky and I have a lot in common," she will tell the Pennsylvania A.F.L.-C.I.O. audience. "I never quit.

Thing is almost the entire Rocky story arc isn't so much about him not quitting as about him not knowing when to quit.

NEVER GONNA GIVE U UP NEVER GONNA LET YOU WHATEVER

LUV GETTING RICKROLLED

I'm sure that will change when I'm working again tho.

she's the brain-damaged, delusional rocky of rocky v

I look forward to Hillary running a restaurant where she walks around telling any fucker who will listen how important she once was.

2008: Hillary,
2012: Hillary 2,
2016: Hillary 3,
2020: Hillary 4,
2024: Hillary 5
2028: Hillary Balboa

Bill Clinton is Paulie.

Bill and Hill's Screaming Lobster and Smoked (Adam's) Rib Shack.

Of Hope.

2008: Hillary,
2012: Hillary 2,
2016: Hillary 3,
2020: Hillary 4,
2024: Hillary 5
2028: Hillary Balboa

So that's
2008: close but no cigar
2012: whitehouse!
2016: lose and regained whitehouse, your mentor dies
2020: defeat Russia because they killed your once "black opponent" who is now your best friend
2024: omg Hillary wtf were you thinking?
2028: lol old. Exhibition election versus actual black president

Rasmussen poll has PA down to a 5 point race (Clinton 47 Obama 42)
Survey USA still has a 12-point Clinton lead but that's down from 19 points

my dad sent me something about obama having a 7-point lead but he's probably reading the same sites that predicted wins for kerry and gore based on outliers and wishful thinking about mobile phones

http://www.roadtrip.org/RD_TRIP+RD-HOGG+RD_TOUR+RD_TREK.jpg

My mother was just delivering her armchair analysis, which is Obama could win PA pending another fuckup ('all he seems to have to do is meet people, they seem to like him once they know him'), HRC is just so unlikable/entitled in a way that is nothing to do with her gender, and who are these women who are wanting to vote for her still, are they stupid? So no change there except she now 'gets' the whole black church thing.

She will almost certainly vote for McCain (right now, but would not mind an Obama win at all) but says the GOP are about 10 times more terrified of Candidate Obama than Candidate Clinton.

my dad sent me something about obama having a 7-point lead but he's probably reading the same sites that predicted wins for kerry and gore based on outliers and wishful thinking about mobile phones

haha

yeah I don't think that poll exists, Rasmussen is considered the outlier really. but they do all seem to be moving in the same direction

wheres the double helix national poll today

Ta-daaa!

I have so much love for the whole roster of SAW artists. Has there ever been a decent box set issued?

A classic text-only file provides some insight:

http://www.slate.com/id/2187780/pagenum/2

The key factor in Bill's policy reversal was Hillary, who was said to have "deep misgivings" and viewed the situation as "a Vietnam that would compromise health-care reform." The United States took no further action in Bosnia, and the "ethnic cleansing" by the Serbs was to continue for four more years, resulting in the deaths of more than 250,000 people.

lol half of ilx becomes hillary supporters after reading that

hahahah

cunning...

Senator Clinton:

Just read where Senator Patrick Leahy is calling on you to drop out of the Presidential race.

Believe me.

I know something about this.

Here's my advice:

Don't listen to people when they tell you not to run anymore.

That's just political bigotry.

Listen to your own inner citizen First Amendment voice.

This is America.

Just like every other citizen, you have a right to run.

Whenever you like.

For as long as you like.

It's up to you, Hillary.

Just tell them –

It's democracy.

Get used to it.

Yours truly,

Ralph Nader

the obama logo in there is a little shameful...

the damage of clinton staying in and the damage of the rest of the party forcing her out is essentially the same damage: older women and traditional working class democrats being pissed at the eventual nominee. i could give a fuck how HRC feels, but how her supporters feel is important.

xp lol

"Listen to your own inner citizen First Amendment voice."

WTF is this therapeutic democracy bullshit
