For Wide Dissemination.
“Denver, Denver!”
My thanks to (clockwise from the top); Mark Penn, Bill Clinton, Harold Ickes, Terry Mcauliffe, and Lanny Davis…
Inspiration:
- Insane Clinton Dead-Enders Celebrate Glorious Puerto Rico Victory
- Clinton camp converging on New York Tuesday, and shedding staff
- More Coverage of the DNC RBC Meeting!
- Hillary: my part in her downfall
I admit I really don’t care at all about the DNC R&B meeting today. There’s no grand principle at stake here and I have no interest in listening to people pretend that there is. The primary system is a weird hybrid of things far removed any concept of “one person one vote.” And it isn’t really a public election the way, say, voting for your Congressman is an election. It’s a contest whereby members of a club choose the leader of that club, who then goes on to participate in a real election.
It isn’t important that muckety mucks from Florida and Michigan get to go to the big party in Denver. The only real issue is if what’s decided today impacts the ultimate outcome - who becomes the leader of the club - and whether that’s seen as legitimate by both sides. Personally I think changing the rules midgame is not the way to do things, though if it doesn’t impact the outcome it doesn’t really matter, but I guess some people differ on that.

Sick and tired of Ickes, of Lanny, and the rest of those fucking whiners. She lost. Grow up.

The second I weaken and feel a tiny synapse of sympathy for Hillary, I need only remember who Hillary works for.
What will be interesting is what her most ardent janissaries do when she up and quits on them, slap! when they realize everything bad said about her manipulating their emotions - what all Hillaryhaters said - is true.

Nice poster.
I would disagree on the unelectable part. I think Obama can win….but it depends on when we bomb Iran, when Bin Laden’s endorsement for Obama happens, and how fearful McCain can make the American People fill.
If they can hold their wad till say, mid-October, then let it all go in under acouple of weeks (Bomb Iran, new Bin Laden Video, rumors of a terror attack) then Obama will likey lose.

You’ve exposed my bias, Polishifter. I just assumed everyone would know I meant Clinton…the one with the higher unfavorable rating.
