View Full Version : Clinton Win Makes Primary Season More Excruciating

Clinton wins Ohio, Texas; America wins more of this crap

Hillary Clinton uses more race-based stereotypes to describe Barack Obama.

Sen. Hillary Clinton put a speedbump in the path of Barack Obama's O-mentum Tuesday night, winning the crucial Ohio and Texas primaries. Meanwhile, John McCain clinched the GOP nomination for president, and CNN won the evening with its outstanding coverage of incomprehensible two-tone blue graphs and stunned research assistants who happened to be sitting behind Paul Begala while he was on camera.

What does this mean for the election? Essentially, that we're all in for at least another month and a half of poorly orchestrated, passive-aggressive, quasi-mudslinging volleys between the two remaining Democratic candidates. In the latest through-the-looking-glass development, Barack Obama has accused the media of being biased over Clinton's charges of media bias, thereby making him the target of media bias. (We'll pause here for a moment to let those of you whose heads just exploded collect themselves.)

The evening also saw the Democratic candidates heaping praise on John McCain, as both Clinton and Obama expressed anticipation in ripping the Republican nominee to shreds in a long, drawn-out, brutal and, oh yes, "respectful" campaign. John McCain was unavailable for comment, as he was already on line for tomorrow evening's Early Bird Special at the Dayton, OH Old Country Buffet. Because he's old, y'see.

The Democrats saying nice things about McCain? Barack complaining of media bias? Is anything the same anymore? Fear not. Thanks to a special appearance on CNN we can confirm: Soledad O'Brien, still hot. (Yes, we know she's not on American Morning anymore, but...come on.)

I keep hearing that Hillary Clint needs to win 70 percent of the vote in the rest of the primary/caucuses in order to catch Sen. Obama in pledge delegates. She lost MS, and that was one of the states I heard she needed to win get 70 percent of the vote in. So why hasn't she conceded? She's hurting the Democratic party's chances of winning the general election by choosing to stay in the race.

I want her to ride it out to the bitter end. Either the Clinton mystique will be vanquished, or the party will be damaged. It's a win either way.

I have a whole different take on this.

My friends tell me I'm full of shit, but in the end, this is what the net effect will be. Regardless of what anyone is intending.

I never understood the whole Clinton mystique thing. She's getting owned by a newbie when this was supposed to be a coronation for her. That's "Hill"-arious. :D

It's largely media driven. The MSM has been gaga over her ever since she ran for the Senate. They saw in her the potential for history to be made and until reality set in, that was the template by which all election news was written. She was to be the first female president, the first First Lady to become a president, Bill was to become the first president to become First Spouse, etc. What they forgot is she is not Bill. She can't lie and have the press fall all over themselves at how masterfully they were manipulated.

She's selfishly damaging and dividing the party even though she has no chance to win.

If the elected delegate proportions remain steady to the convention--and there is little to no reason to think they won't--she will need to win something like 412 of the 413 undeclared superdelegates to overtake Obama's lead. (I don't have the exact math in front of me, but it was literally that: she could afford to lose ONE.)

Couple that with the trends--since Super Tuesday Obama has gained 47 superdelegates and Clinton has LOST 7--and she is done. This race is over.

The superdelegates are not pledged, committed or bound in any way. Those that have veered to Obama my well move towards Hillary when it's time to go on record. As mentioned previously, the only news that will come out on Obama will be bad news.

Until the superdelegates have made their collective move, she has a chance to win.

Okay guys, keep fooling yourselves.Your assumptions are reasonable, and may well come to pass. But they lead only to projections. In a game with 800 wild cards, that seems imprudent.

Until Obama gets 2025 pledged delegates, it's still a horse race.
