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.

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'?

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.

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.

We should never take a McCain victory for granted.

The fact that an unsuitable candidate like Obama could even get this far speaks volumes about a seriously deranged electorate. (Ouch! Hey that includes all of us too.)

Factor in the almost universal support that Obama has from the LLL media and his election is an all too close possibility.

We must keep up the efforts to persuade the undecided, and communicate a vision of moderate, principled leaders that we want to have elected.

re: #153 hydrocarbon hank

Mr. 57 states goddamn America cannot win, no he cannot.

re: #81 wrenchwench

I voted for John McCain today. The other option was Ron Paul. November will be even easier.

/New Mexico. Yes, we had a primary today.

I didn't bother to go. My wife came back all disappointed because Mitt wasn't on the ballot. She at least wanted to vote for him, if even totally moot.

A local businessman is the Ron Paulian Pooh Bah and he claims to be the Republican Chairman. He has a ponytail and is a troofer. What's with that? That doesn't sound like any Republican chairman I've heard!

Obama needs Hillary to win. Will he swallow hard and do it? My prediciton: yes.

There might be a chance for McCain in WA.

People are POed about the mismanagement of the State under the (D)s. Dino Rossi is a good candidate. If we can keep the election clean I'd rate WA as possible in the McCain column. It's got to happen just right, but could.

re: #163 tokyobk

How much and in what currency? Thing is, I want McCain to win. But your thinking is dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. Obama is not to be underestimated and neither is the power of what he evokes as a black man running for president on a major ticket.

I'll bet big money...the kind of money that shows up in my mailbox every month when oil is $130/bbl and gas is $12/mcf. He can't carry the voters who win elections.

My success in life is not contingent on who occupies the White House. Bring it on Barry, I made it through 8 years of Bill Clinton, I can do 8 years of you standing on my head!

re: #183 Killgore Trout

I agree, it's going to be very close.

If McCain can go up against Obama like he is going up against Tiger Woods (this is a sport and Obama is a huge talent) and explain to the American people in very simple but forceful terms what is at stake in the world than he has a realistic shot.

Obama will play an A game all the way through.

Just heard on the radio: Jimmy Carter will announce his support for BHO tonight, right after the last primary.

Jimmy's support for Obama = kiss of death.

re: #190 JammieWearingFool

Your hedge is right. Republicans vote predictably and always in greater numbers than expected. The center is shrinking.

re: #182 'Nam Grunt

Doing good Ward, I love it out here in the country quiet and peaceful and no moonbats. LOL

Heard from June today. She had the third and final injection in her back, for back pain, and this one worked. Third time's a charm.

And, for a bonus, the doctor is an Israeli. I gotta meet that guy.

re: #157 sattv4u2

There is NO way McCain could take Boston, let alone Massachusetts. No matter the outcome of Kennedys surgery and recovery, the sympathy vote for him goes to Obama. Boston doesn't have as large of an Hispanic community as is does black (not only Roxbury, but most of Dorchester, Mattapan and Roslindale)

CAMBRIDGE? You HAVE to be joking. If McCain gets more than 35% there, that alone would be a "win"

I might have mistyped. Cambrige is pure moonbat territory. Boston, maybe. There are still some working-class white neighborhoods. (There I go, bringing race into it)

I know some people who say they will vote Republican for the first time in their lives. Not the moonbats and Koskids at work, but other people.

re: #160 Adrenalyn

I politely disagree
if Obama got into the White House
those doubters in my calling them "nazicrats" instead of "democrats" would finally see them turn 100% totalitarian
maybe not see the death camps
but you'd never see another republican majority again
and not in the White House again
they'd for all intents and purposes outlaw the GOP
thru campaign "reform" where no money can be raised
and the biased media will help them consolidate their power
see the Reuters link on zombietime.com
if you don't think the media and the nazi's collaborate

I share some of that thought - but I frankly don't see an alternative that's palatable. If McCain gets into the White House - don't we have the same impact.

McCain will have Juan Hernandez opening the borders to 30 million Democrats - and all the liberal policies like Cap & Trade will be branded Republican ZConservative policies by the media. He'll attack his fellow republicans and drive up the bus when he's opposed by conservatives - and we all know McCain likes to hold grudges. He could swing more liberal to spite republicans. If you think the Republican party is lost today - wait til you see it in 4 years with the Maverick leading the party. :::: NOOOO! ::::

It really is a crappy time to be a voter in America. We have 3 democrats to choose from - and both have dire long term impacts. I'm going to have to expand my daily prayer!

That Pfleger priest has just been fired from the church, now he can really rant, I love it!

re: #188 sattv4u2

in my church he would have been a lifesized reenactment of the Crucifixtion!

I modified my post and edited out things like:

_{In Eastern Orthodoxy, doctrine does not state that the priesthood confers an indelible character on the person's soul. Laicization removes the ordained status completely. Laicization as an ecclesiastical punishment may carry with it the excommunication of the former cleric from the church for a certain period, or indefinitely. The anathema, the permanent act of excommunication, against a member of the church or a former cleric is usually imposed by the decision of the synod of bishops or the ecclesiastical council. In such cases, this not only defrocks the former cleric but also banishes him from entering an Orthodox church, receiving the Eucharist and other sacraments or being blessed by a priest.}

re: #175 JammieWearingFool

Those have shrunk drastically in the last 10-15 years. West Roxbury, Roslindale, Charlestown, So. Boston used to be 95% white. Go to any of those now!

Pardon me...I just got back up on my chair and wiped my mouth from the vomit. I cannot beleive this guy has a chance to be President, with a majority as well.

re: #217 jcm

I acted like a lefty -- I said I was smitten with Obama and wanted to get out of Iraq. I also said I was 27, unmarried and hispanic!

But then he asked me my zip code and I couldn't think of any codes that fit my profile. So I gave him my real zipcode. That probably sunk it.

The cardinal just yanked Phlegar - I have a very strong feeling that the Pope weighed in on this.

Ben and Jerry's sold out to Unilever Corporation- it's OK to eat it now.

Obama will be bring about the kind of progressive change that this country so desperately needs. We cannot rely on the failed policies of the past; we have to work together to move forward, to the future. He is the right man for our country, our time. He is the one we've been waiting for.

VT is also almost completely white. And yes his voters were all democrats, but it still makes a statement that Obama can conenct with white voters.

Obama`s first speech about race now will be about how he is mixed. The black thing got him as far as he needed it to.

I don't disagree. However it is the voters that are paying, not the respective state parties. The delegates and party officials will still be able to go to Denver for free food and drinks and the voters who didn't have anything to do with the decision get screwed.

As badly as the Democrats handled this situation are we supposed to believe that they are smart enough to somehow create jobs, save the environment, cure male pattern baldness, blah blah blah, etc., etc.
