| 92. I like how the topic switched: Back in the primary, Clinton supporters whined about... |
|
Edited on Wed Apr-29-09 08:30 AM by BlooInBloo
how Clinton would be so much better "ready to go on day 1" and "doesn't need on the job training", and bullshit like that. Now, we've seen the conversation completely flipped: the question is not whether or not Obama could match Clinton at the start, but rather whether or not Clinton could match Obama. Whichever side one happens to be on for that question, it's interesting that the question has been turned on its head. My how conversation topics change.  |
| -This is why I supported Obama instead of Clinton in the primary |
