Anyone one else thinking Hillary's gonna steal this thing?
Is it likely? Is my tin-foil hat on too tightly?! The corporate media CONTINUES to push the Wright angle while at the same time explaining to us how tough the Clinton campaign is, and how she's in this for the long haul... I feel like it's a total set-up.

2. No. MSM wants you to believe that for their own ratings.
The math makes it impossible for her.

15. It. doesn't. matter.
Really...Mathematically, she cannot beat him without help from Stephen Hawking.

Maybe not even then...the space/time continuum is cranky lately and doesn't want to play any superdelegate games.

4. No.
It seems like the supers are going to break for Obama, which will seal the deal.
They cannot override the right and the voice of the people...it will damage the party too much.

All over but the paying off of the campaign debt. Or the creditor lawsuits, whichever come first.

10. No. Want to know why? Obama's million and a half donors.
Even if they wanted to overturn the will of the people, they won't let that many donors escape the party.

14. She'll steal it if she can, but I don't think she can.
There's a ton of SDs waiting for the right moment to declare for Obama. I don't see her surviving that.

Who knows, maybe she'll "hang in there" anyway, but at that point she's just a pathetic beaten mess.

18. Repeating a meme does not change the facts
She by definition cannot steal the election. Repeating this lie does no one any good. How does it feel to follow in the footsteps of BushCo?

:eyes:

We cannot tolerate lies by anyone, least of all from Democrats.

19. Not happening. Wright thing is already dying. Clinton going
to have a bad day tomorrow after big ABC news story tonight on her lying about Bill's role sending Magnatech to China. Plus polls out tonight that have Obama up. Plus losing the biggest superdelegate day in a long time to Obama. Plus April fundraising numbers out tomorrow which (I'm betting) Obama will also win.

It's almost over. Obama will be our nominee and our next President.

20. Nah,
even Chris Matthews is back to defending him today. He's gotten a stream of SD's over the past 2 days, if that doesn't make you optimistic, nothing can. He's got this! :)

21. I turned it on CNN yesterday...
and they were talking about how Obama wasn't tough enough on Wright.... and I changed to CNN's headline news channel and their question/topic was about how Obama was TOO rough on Wright... Needless to say... I am not going to be watching CNN anymore.


And back on topic.... I am very worried that she might steel it. They are setting everything up against him at this point.

25. Not gonna happen.
November isn't just about the White House. The Party also is hoping to gain seats in Congress, so we need a powerful candidate to spearhead that fight. The voters, the Superdelegates and the Party leaders all agree that Obama is the one for the job.

At this point, they're basically reduced to humoring Hillary because of the Clinton legacy and all the favors they've stacked up over the years. This thing will wind down soon enough.

26. and if she did what would she have? nothing her support would collapse
She has been receiving significant help from Republican cross overs trying to keep her alive.


She has alienated everyone outside her demographic.

30. Doesn't have to steal it.
She's going to win it, fair and square.

And here's how.

First. She wins out. That is, she beats him decisively in Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Puerto Rico, and either keeps it close or pulls upsets in North Carolina and Oregon. If she carries this off, she gets to sows serious doubt. She gets to argue that he is unelectable. She makes the supers WANT to find a way not to give the nomination to him. IF she sows enough doubt, she gets to offer Florida and Michigan as cover. She has to get close enough in the remaining primaries that Fla and MI are sufficient to take her over the top. IF they are, then the supers can use Fl and MI as cover for their move to dump the loser Obama.

It's that simple. No stealing involved. Fair and square!

31. Who is perpetuating this story?
Isn't it the Obama's that I saw on the Today program this morning?...or am I mistaken? Or is the Clinton's fault?
