Crap.

Consolation prize; he should be easier to beat.

God help us.

God help us all.

I'm sure Hillary still has a trick or two up her sleeve. It ain't over till it's over.

Hang on: the nomination is not the election.

Release the scandal hounds!

This simplifies things for me.
No ambiguity now.

Crap.

My immediate thoughts too. Light a candle, say a prayer, whatever it is you do....

I'm bitter.

It's on.
C'mon McCain, open up a can of whoop-ass on him.

I really love my country. I mean - I really really love my country. America is the shining city on a hill. Please God, do not allow us to put out our own light.

Damn it.

I hope Hillary keeps pounding the superdelegate issue. I don't want this to end now; it sounds weird, but as long as this contest has gone on, I don't think it's gone long enough yet. So many juicy stories to reveal...

Hey, he's the weaker candidate! We should be rejoicing for when McCain wins -- which is more certain now -- Israel and the United States will be protected from radical Islam.

Once, twice, three times a lady.

All that ends have beginnings.

Stop the convention. Its not needed. If Fox News says it, it must be true.

Its also official that the democrats cannot field a decent candidate.

So, when does the Clinton team show up at the McCains'?

Pardon me if I don't cheer. To simple minds this looks like a huge step forward. Upon thoughtful analysis this is a massive lurch backward.

The Democratic Party--dumber than a sack of hammers.

And it's enough to make you sickle.

Visualize a humiliating McCain 40+ State sweep.

This is going to cut into Bills philandering, what with Hillary being home and all. Maybe not.

So, do you all think that Clinton loathes Obama to the point that she will help McCain crush, humiliate and defeat him into history? To make him a pariah of politics?

I think they will implode if that happens. She is not going to like taking orders from him and he will have to have a full-time food-taster and extra body guards. I think that might make for a very uneasy coalition and possibly a very short term for the Obamamamamama guy.

He's got the nomination. Now the real Obama can come out. Waffle breakfast at Trinity United Church of Christ next Sunday after services.

Will they? If McCain follows Rice's stated policy of "give the Palestinians a state no matter what", Israel will be up a creek. She should have never opened her mouth to AIPAC.

The way I see it, either McCain (or Bush) has to distance themselves from Rice, or Hillary just has a chance for the "jewish vote".

Easy, everytime he proposes something and doesn't get it, then it's victim-time again. Anyone that opposes anything he promotes is a racist. He has automatic and continual built-in victim-hood.

Cardinal removes Pfleger from St. Sabina parish

The firebrand pastor of St. Sabina parish was removed from his duties there Tuesday, according to a statement released by the Archdiocese of Chicago.

In the statement, Cardinal Francis George says he asked the Rev. Michael Pfleger, 59, to "take leave for a couple of weeks from his pastoral duties." The statement said Pfleger "does not believe this to be the right step at this time." "While respecting his disagreement, I have nevertheless asked him to use this opportunity to reflect on his recent statements and actions in the light of the Church's regulations for all Catholic priests," George said.

I sure hope so. She really pulled a "career limiting move". :-)

Obama winning the nomination is just more proof that moonbats vote and make their decisions based on emotions rather than facts. I do not understand how anyone could be such a supporter of Obama when no one knows his positions on anything. Its like rolling the dice and hoping you dont crap out.

Can't wait for the first Supreme Court pick from Barrack. I'm betting on radical black feminist.

Besides there are more skeletons in Barak's closet than on a Cambodian killing field.

he has already won the election of most racist candidate ever to run as the lead for a major party with his association with Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright and the entire Trinity Church

then again, Jimmy Carter was the previous holder of that title
with his association with Lester Maddox and JB Stoner

Unfortunately in a political campaign nothing shines through that the candidates don`t initiate. I will be a broken record until November. McCain cannot beat Obama by simply being the most decent guy in the room. He has to take the fight to Obama.

As icky as it is, I don't think the Obama/Hillary ticket can be beaten by McCain, particularly if McCain chooses a Fundie VP running mate (the kiss od death). It will just play into Obama's "change" hands - no more old white guys, yadda yadda, change, yadda yadda, change... Never mind Obama had his own crazy Fundie, he's going to play up how the nation is tired of same ole same ole, and Hillary at his side will somehow seem more... conservative.

I never thought I'd see the day where I had rooted so hard for Hillary to beat someone. Geez, I'd rather see a McCain/Hillary ticket. Now, that, I could get behind. Compared to this, I'd be rejoicing.

To say this sucks is an understatement.

Okay, maybe this is the paranoid me talking (people are out to get me--really) but this news, coupled with the word from the Clinton cam that she'd be thrilled to be his VP (yeah, like Michelle O would go for that) conjures visions of the Manchurian Candidate. She takes the slot and then plots to have him assassinated.

Seriously, there is no way on Earth he would have her after all they have been through. Besides, he would need to sleep with one eye open and have to send food tasters to the Naval Observatory whenever he would dine with Lady Macbeth, er... his VP.

He could even win some of the blue states, especially if the Hispanics come out for McCain.

I'm thinking that McCain could even win in Massachusetts, especially if he gets support of some of the normally Democratic working-class voters.
I'd give Obama Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and maybe Springfield. McCain could conceivably win Boston with support of Hispanics and those in South Boston.
A lot depends on how many more people Obama throws under the bus and what revelations come out about him.
McCain might be centrist enough to get votes that would never otherwise go for a Republican. Hmm - we elected several Republican governors; the last time, the Republicans lost because they were running a loser. But then. the Democrat who won reminds me of Obama, but without all the racist baggage.

We'll see. Hillary had a real chance to win the election.

And so it begins.

DOn't worry about that map, Onslow. They have a good record of prediction, but its based on lagging indicators -- old polls. Most analysts, even the Dems, see a rosy picture for McCain.

Go ahead America, don't vote to "teach those Republicans lesson"!

If Obama does not choose Clinton for the Veep slot, then he'll have to make massive moves toward the center in his policy speeches. But he's already made such outrageous statements that he'll only look like more of a flip-flopper than John Kerry ever dreamed of being.

And honestly, Obama has already peaked. McCain has yet to get started.

So it's time, John Sydney McCain, to step up to the plate and start hitting more than singles.
