24. Hello? Can we face reality?
Edited on Mon May-19-08 09:47 PM by TwoSparkles
The race is OVER. There's no way she can win. It's about the delegate count. Period.

He's competing in the remaining states in which he can win. Why would he waste money
on states that favor Hillary? And by the way, Hillary never campaigned in Nebraska. She
didn't step foot in the state. Were you as outraged by that? I don't remember seeing a post,
which pointed out Hillary's evil behavior toward the good people of Nebraska when she didn't
campaign there and Obama did.

And since you asked the question, "What if Hillary treated Iowa like Kentucky and West Virginia?" I have
to address something.

Hillary Clinton has treated the state of Iowa and the Democrats in Iowa--like shit.

The day she lost the Iowa caucuses, she tore off on a lie-based distortion campaign, falsely suggesting
that the caucuses were unfair and do not represent the will of the people.

Because she lost, she threw our entire Iowa caucus process under the bus. She disrespected Iowa, our
100-year old process (which no one ever complained about, until HER--not even her husband when he
campaigned in Iowa!) and tore down all of the Democrats who worked hard to make the caucuses a grand
success.

Furthermore, in Hillary's latest, "I'm the one winning!! I've got more popular votes" meme---do you
know how she factors that she's winning the popular vote? SHE LEAVES OUT THE VOTES CAST IN THE
CAUCUS STATES. THAT INCLUDES IOWA.

Iowans don't count. We are shit to her. Just take us out of the primary equation and call yourself
the winner, Hillary! Iowans, or anyone else in other caucus states--you're not important in
Hillary world.

So my answer to your question is---Barack Obama would never have the unmitigated gall to participate
in a primary contest, lose and then leave the state screeching and mocking the process--and behave like
a sore loser. Barack Obama has never disrespected the people of West Virginia or Kentucky--by tearing down
their process or suggesting that their way of voting isn't fair.

Hillary Clinton has no class. She's out for herself, and anyone or any process that doesn't please
her is ripped to shreds and maligned--by her bloggers who are ordered to spew her false talking points
and venom.

Barack Obama would never--and has never engaged in that type of behavior. Only Hillary. Biden, Richardson,
and Kucinich lost the Iowa caucuses. Did you see them tearing the entire state down because of it?

Obama has had nothing but wonderful things to say about the people of West Virginia and Kentucky. Obama
has never done to the people of Kentucky and West Virginia---what Hillary did to the people in the
state of Iowa, and to the rest of the caucus states.

You should be ashamed to even ask that question!
