My new favorite thing
I’ve just discovered Lavender Liberal’s Pocket Guide to the Obamaniac Behavior Cycle: I love this thing.
Hillary on track to win the popular vote overall
Jay Cost at Real Clear Politics has a spreadsheet showing how Hillary could end the primary season with the lead in the popular vote. The three key contests are West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico. The spreadsheet is interactive, so you can play with the numbers to test various results. Last night Hillary out-performed the [...]
Hillary’s Victory Speech in West Virginia
I didn’t see it live, but I hear it was good. Here’s the video, which I certainly hope to watch soon. Soon but not yet, because my satellite is having a personal feud with YouTube. (Quick off-topic psychotic fugue: one of these days I’m going to overcome my antipathy for firearms, go out and buy [...]
It’s a mob now
So it seems the popular thing now is to pretend that Hillary said something like white voters would only vote for her, or only white Americans work hard, or some such nonsense. Of course she said nothing of the kind; all she did was refer to the same polling data that everybody else has been [...]
The company you keep
Read the comments on this piece. These are the Obamabots in all their glory. When have I seen such hatred and bigotry and sheer dishonesty? Free Republic comes to mind. Little Green Footballs. If this were an isolated display, it would mean nothing. But this is how Obamabots have been talking about Hillary and her [...]
Write your own caption
This is the illustration accompanying the Willamette Week’s endorsement of Obama: The editors are careful to note that Obama “is not divine.” But he does walk on water and is accompanied everywhere by white horses and cascading rose petals. UPDATE: Like any lazy writer, I can’t resist the opportunity to use a picture to make [...]
Voter Suppression in West Virginia happening NOW
I just got this on an email list: Could you pass some info on to the rest of the callers that are calling into WV? I’ve been talking with some people already on the ground in WV and the Obama camp is calling voters, NOT to get out the vote, but to ask for money [...]
Hillary vs. the Haka
(Note to readers: I’m going to return shortly to the subject of this post, because there’s a lot more to add to the discussion. But I want to get this out first, because time is of the essence.) Hillary is on track to recover the lead in the popular vote, winning big victories in West [...]
Why I will not vote for Obama even if he’s the nominee — and why you shouldn’t either
The Obamabots are under the delusion that if Obama wins the nomination (which he hasn’t yet, by the way), all of us in the Hillary camp will forget about the misogyny and come over to their side. Make nice for the sake of party unity. Forgive all the abuse. Nope. Several of us have tried [...]
Hillary wins the tie-breaker, thus proving that she should drop out
Last month Obama said Indiana would be the tie-breaker. And last week he re-iterated its importance: Obama wrapped up a low-key event at an Indianapolis factory Wednesday by telling the audience that a victory in Indiana would be decisive. “It starts right here in Indiana,” Obama said. “If we win Indiana, we’ve got this nomination.” [...]
