CLINTON CAMPAIGN:
This caucus doesn't matter. It was always our plan to lose here to make our eventual victory over Senator Obama even more amazing. Ignore the total destruction of my campaign over the last few weeks and that I won Texas and Ohio by single digit percentages when projected just a few weeks previously to win by double-digits. Its immaterial. We planned to do this just so this campaign could come out looking like Bill Clinton's on steroids... we shall steal the title of "Comeback Kid"!

I'm actually surprised the election wasn't closer. After all, Rush Limbaugh did ask Republicans in Texas and Ohio to vote for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries of those states ...because he wants to sit back and watch the Democrats "bloody each other up." (Oh, how patriotic Rush is!)
You'd think the Republicans of Wyoming would've fallen right in line. Perhaps the only reason they didn't is because they had already cast their vote for Mitt Romney in the Republican primary back on January 5th (Wyoming is one of a handful of states that have separate dates for their Republican and Democratic primaries).
Who knows? Maybe they just don't want the Clintons vacationing in Jackson Hole again...

SO you guys really think all Republicans tune in to Rush? And when they do they sit and await their marching orders? Hehehe, you guys always fall for the talking points of the left. Besides, if I remember correctly, I didn't hear any of you guys being mad about Dems crossing party lines and Tweaking the Republicans.

I'm gonna make a prediction here...we'll see John Edwards endorse Barack Obama for President the week before the Pennsylvania primaries on April 22nd. It will send shock waves through the campaign and give Obama the edge. The next primary date after Pennsylvania will be May 6th: Indiana and North Carolina. After that, Obama will be unstoppable!

I am waiting for the retraction also, but I doubt that it will come anytime soon. Though I would love to be proven wrong.
The Clinton's are controlling the message. Time magazine ran a feature that could have been written by the Clinton campaign. All I have been hearing is a lot of speculation about who will win, even though Hillery cannot catch Obama in the elected delegate count.
Obama wins 11 or 12 caucuses in a row, Hillery wins two out of four in one day (she DIDN'T win Texas), and suddenly she is the front runner offering the VP to Obama? Give me a break!!! She will have to run the table to even keep it respectably close, but it is mathematically impossible for her to win without some sort of subterfuge and treachery involving the super delegates, or a massive meltdown of Obama's campaign.
Where IS that retraction?

The final numbers from CNN shows Obama getting 61% of the popular vote and Clinton with 38% and 1% going uncommitted. A 7-4 split in favor of Obama for the delegates with the remaining pledged delegate being named in May. The final county to report last evening was Teton (Jackson Hole)it went for Obama 80% to 20%.
Now to Mississippi on Tuesday. Recent polling in the state shows Senator Obama up by anywhere from 12 to 20% percentage points in the state.

WHAT A COMEBACK!!!! Look at Senator Obama take the momentum back and stop the Clinton wave right in its tracks. What an amazing thing to have happen!!
Now, why isn't that the headline in today's papers like it was on Wednesday last? Isn't a win by more than 20% points a little more decisive than a win by a couple of points in a couple of states? I guess not.

Obama is a good man and will make a great president...someday. He will NOT win the general election in '08. He cannot hold water to McCain's experiance. That's why the repubs are licking their chops. Hilary can. She's a tough cookie and people will get behind her when it counts. The dems need to stop clubbing each other immediately and forge a Clinton/Obama ticket. That would be unstoppable. The primaaries are merely entertainment. The real show is in Novemeber and the dems need to start planning. That's what the republicans are doing and we simply cannot make the mistake of giving them 4 more years. We'll be broke and on our knees by then. We'll have less than zero respoct in the world, (cause now we have zero,) and be completely irrelevant as a power.

What kind of experience is the question. Do we want the kind of experience from Senators McCain and Clinton that has put us in this place? I think not. That's what we need to concern ourselves with.
As for a Clinton/Obama ticket, why do you think she's (and Bill) started trotting that out? She's doing it so that she can capitalize on the supposed lack of experience and to tell people that a vote for her is essentially a vote for Obama. Wrong answer. She's part of the Old Guard, just like McCain. Senator Obama isn't. We need the future not the past. Time to move on.
