Hillary Barely Squeaks Out a Win in Indiana, Obama trounces her in NC

Meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh is claiming to have beaten the Obama campaign. LOL. Um…not.
Okay, seriously? If Operation Chaos were such a big deal, how the hell did Hillary not clean up in Indiana? I mean, just a week ago, weren’t we all thinking she’d have a double-digit win over Obama because of the latest Crazy Uncle Jeremiah Eruption? But Rush gets some phone calls in to his show and reads liberal rags whining about Operation Chaos, and that translates to the margin of victory for Hillary? No. Don’t believe the hype, kids–it’s about ratings. Nothing wrong with ratings–that’s his job, and he does it well. Just don’t take this too seriously, okay? Especially you silly libs, who are no doubt crying about this as “proof” that you got robbed. STFU. You can STFU too, Sean Hannity–this isn’t your baby, so quit trying to rock it.
So…a week ago, the Wright Eruption happened, and people were suddenly thinking HRC might actually get the nomination after all. People were saying she was getting close to Obama in North Carolina (a state teh Obamination is now calling a “swing state”–LOL), and that her lead was widening in Indiana. Oh, how wrong that turned out to be just a week later. What happened?
Honestly, I’m a little disappointed; I wanted Billary to have a stronger reason to keep in the race until the convention, just like every other Republican voter did, including Rush Limbaugh in particular. Hey, maybe since Rush put Operation Chaos at parade rest a week ago…maybe that’s what had the effect. Heh. (Sorry, he can’t have it both ways.) So this is probably it for the “inevitable” candidate, for all practical purposes–barring another Crazy Uncle Jeremiah Eruption, although I don’t think he can have much more effect on Democrat voters at this point. Certainly Comrade Ayers won’t either, considering his philosophy is neatly aligned with Democrats today. At this point, Barack Obama could probably get caught smoking hash with strange gay men and all his friends in a mosque, and most of his supporters would still vote for him anyway. Hillary has canceled her appearances for this morning, and we’ll see what that means as the day progresses.
Coming into Tuesday, Clinton was some 415 pledged delegates short of the number needed to clinch the nomination-that count does not include Florida and Michigan. Obama was just 280 shy entering Tuesday. Come Wednesday, Obama will likely be within 200 delegates of reaching the magic number of 2,025 pledged delegates.
If the Clinton campaign decides to fight on, the race for the nomination could enter a contentious and confusing phase as the end of the primary season nears. The Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee is set to meet at the end of the month, where members will debate whether to seat the delegations from Michigan and Florida. Tad Devine says that meeting could be the start of weeks of procedural wrangling between the campaigns, assuming the Clinton campaign takes up that fight.
“Anything from inconsequential action to turmoil can come out of that process,” Devine says. “It’s really up to the campaigns to decide what they want the tone of this to be, because the rules are such that they could go as nuclear as they want if it drags on, especially if it gets to Denver.”
Oh, and Harold Ickes warns of October Surprises. “A curious strategy,” indeed.
Watch Howard Dean go to war with the RAAACISTS!!! Clintons now–and with the superdelegates if they don’t start showing their cards. This is gonna be fun. :D
Jo says:
All I know is McCain better have his game plan in place for the liberals - Obama or Hillary. If he’s not ready out the gate after Denver … we’re sunk.
PaulW says:
I predict that with the NC and Indiana results, there is now sufficient political cover for the superdelegates to fall in with Obama, and that will give him the magic 200+ needed to reach the nomination count. You might even see some pledged to Clinton switching sides, basically letting her know “Kid. It’s done.”
I’m seeing and reading about the speeches last night: Obama was talking like it was a convention night, and Hillary was begging for money like it was pledge night on PBS. The psychological part of this battle is over: Obama won. And the voters and the party elites know it.
If Hillary has any shred of humanity left (it might be in that lockbox Al Gore gave her for Christmas back in 99) she’d drop out and head back to the Senate with some dignity. There’s no shame in being a Senator. There’s more money too. >:)
Obama smoking hash with strange gay men in a Mosque? Since when did they convert Mark Foley…?
sierrahome says:
Seems like either Hillary or Obama are extremely beatable but by somebody that is willing to do what it takes to win. The Obama shortcomings need to be pointed out, pointed out and pointed out as he is all make believe plus dangerous.
I hope Michelle keeps speaking out as she seems like the most unlikeable person and so easy to dismantle at every level. All these folks are left with is the race card and that, like socialism will only take you so far before being dumped on a steaming pile of victimization.
Chris says:
Yeah, Limblow didn’t get as much as he thought he would. I listen to him some and today he was trying to say that he gave Hillary her advantage and was using Obama’s “admission” as proof. Come on, he’s never believed anything that came out of the Obama campaign but now, it supports his ego so they are suddenly truth tellers… Rush is ok and can be entertaining, but this was getting old. Hopefully it’ll end soon.
