2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

haha yeah that too

PAPISTS!

hey according to Hagee the jews only have themselves to blame

"It was the disobedience and rebellion of the Jews, God's chosen people, to their covenantal responsibility to serve only the one true God, Jehovah, that gave rise to the opposition and persecution that they experienced beginning in Canaan and continuing to this very day....
How utterly repulsive, insulting, and heartbreaking to God for His chosen people to credit idols with bringing blessings He had showered upon the chosen people. Their own rebellion had birthed the seed of anti-Semitism that would arise and bring destruction to them for centuries to come.... it rises from the judgment of God uppon his rebellious chosen people."

(sorry for just c+p'ing half of talking points memo the last couple posts .... slow day at work)

I always suspected God was an anti-semite

YEEEEEELAAAAOW! EASY THERE!

also hi dere isn't this what we're talking about when we say OBAMA WANTS TO BOMB PAKISTAN

???

DAMN - http://politicalwire.com/archives/2008/02/29/bonus_quote_of_the_day.html

Is that really that "DAMN"-worthy?

LOL, certainly, PWN, maybe, but DAMN?

I thought it was funny

they are gettin kinda cocky .... not even trying to manage expectations anymore, that guy and Plouffe are basically saying "this is over on Tuesday"

hope they're right

When's the last time Penn got a zing in like that?

its basic math

I mean no way is Clinton going to win either state by double digits, and that's what she would need to just pull even with his delegate count. When she doesn't get that, there will be HUGE pressure from the party for her to concede.

Is that really that "DAMN"-worthy?

i thought it was. perhaps you missed the reference - http://politicalwire.com/archives/2008/02/29/the_phone_is_ringing.html

Whoever said this was the ZINGingest campaign ever was dead on.

Hillary to do The Daily Show Monday night. Have her staffers not been watching the show lately? Won't this probably do her more harm than good?

they should offer her as many pillows as she wants

fully expecting a phone-call-mid-interview gag

o wow obama campaign already has thier own "3am phonecall"

that is fucking fast

just came here to post about it xp

Your headline said "Pregnant" another anti-feminist post!

just another dem | 02.29.08 05:35 PM

Come on Hillary, pack it in, try to get yourself a job on Obama's cabinet or you'll end up with nothing at all.

you know, she's really not that far behind obama... i see no reason for her to "pack it in" just yet.

wow the turnaround on that ad is insane.

x-post

she's too far behind to catch up without posting double digit victories in a couple big states, which is next to impossible to pull off.

and certainly doesn't look likely given how things are polling and how badly Clinton's campaign is performing

im starting to feel sympathy for her, a sign that she really is finished

even so, his delegate lead is really slight and he won't be able to get the required amount before the convention anyway.. lets be fair here.

xpost

Re: Hillary not being that far behind, Marc Ambinder's rosiest scenario has her behind Obama by 60 pledged delegates even if she does better than expected in every upcoming contest. She can't win the nomination, unless the superdelegates change the outcome.

that is fucking fast

THE QUICKENING

She should stay in the Senate. Better for policy wonks anyway.

Marc,

You say Obama will be closer to the victory.

Give me a break. This is the biggest fairy tale I have heard.

You do not want to roll the dice.

Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in 1984 and 1988. He was not close to the victory.

Give me a break. This is the biggest fairy tale I have heard.

even so, his delegate lead is really slight

this is simply incorrect, particularly in regards to how many delegates are left to claim

lol

have you guys checked out hillaryis44.org? LOLZ FOR DAYS.

and its been noted many times that the superdelegates will feel obligated by both internal party pressure and external popular pressure to back the candidate with the majority of delegates. Hillary "winning" the nomination on the backs of superdelegates would be a colossally stupid move in terms of the GE, and the Democratic Party on the whole is aware of this.

you're right shakey, I just don't think we should count her out just yet.

^ o has a lead in tx, gaining in ohio

^ mccain accidentally calls himself a liberal

Obama got what, like, 10 new superdelegate endorsements this week to Hillary's -2 since Super Tuesday? There's no f'ing way the superdelegates will toss the nomination to Hillary anyway. It's just stupid for her to stay in the race unless she wins huge next week.

hahahaha McCain is the gift that keeps on giving

though i get the sense that post-nyt-story, it won't do much as far as getting the right wing attack dogs on him xxp

big hoos you've done this a couple times now ... pretty sure those articles were both referenced upthread

OMG Hillary quits!

Ah, remember the internet on 2008?

yeah i guess in a thread like this it's a safe assumption everything gets covered by somebody at some point. i'll back off.

OMG

But Republicans said it was just the faintest preview of what voters are likely to see in a general election — whether from McCain, the Republican National Committee or an independent group.

"It's a love tap compared to the Wu-Tang fist of fury that's coming at this guy in the fall," said Rick Wilson, a Republican media consultant.
