Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

A "primary" not supported by the DNC in which Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot?

Footnote: Clinton, Kucinich, Dodd, and Gravel were on the ballot and she could still only eke out 55% of the vote. No less than 40% of those who voted went to "Uncommitted."

She sure sang a different song before she bungled this campaign.

What a joke.

"A Clinton campaign spokesman said Thursday that the campaign won't support any proposal that gives Clinton less than the delegates she earned winning the primary."

Hill-arious.

"Michigan voters? Let them eat cake, everyone knows the election they had up there doesn't count for anything." -- HRC

Doesn't matter anyway. The SD are leaving her and going to Obama. Clinton is just embarrassing herself now.

"Clinton is just embarrassing herself now."

This is the understatement of the year Danni.

How is it possible that she can claim to be the stronger candidate when she is behind in delegaes, both and maybe SDs, number of contests won and she is in deep fianancial trouble.

For all her faults Hillary used to be a credible presidential candidate, but the longer she insists she is better equiped to go against McCain, the more laughable the situation becomes.

I remember when she was on the Today Show early in the contest telling the people there that she would be the nominee after super tuesday....whooops

it appears as though she was rejected first.

all the best

Hillary won the Michigan election, so she should get the delegates. Otherwise it's a farce. She earned those delegates.

4 more SDs for Obama today including 1 former Clinton supporter. The rest should be coming around soon enough. There's only so many lifeboats on that ship.

Obama need to announce he's going to name his veep in a week or so, back channel the offer to Hillary and let Hill decide whether to accept or fade away. The MI deal sounds like she's getting about 55% of the delegates.

If either Hillary or Obama think the democrats would be forgiving in 2012 to either if they fucked up the party's shot at the WH, they should talk to Joementum.

According to MSNBC, he picked up 7 delegates to Clinton's 0.

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
The Obama campaign announced two more superdelegate endorsements -- Laurie Weahkee, a New Mexico add-on, and Rep. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii. This is Obama's fifth pick up today. (The campaign also announced CA DNC Member Vernon Watkins, but we did not add him into our count, because he was already on our list.)

So far today, it's a net of Obama 7-0.

OBAMA (7): Weahkee, Hirono, Wilmer Lee Jeffcoat, Edward Espinoza, NC DNC Member John Gage, Reps. Donald Payne of NJ and Peter DeFazio of Oregon (+7).
Clinton (0): Rep. Chris Carney of PA (+1), but she lost lost Payne (-1).

The NBC delegate counts:
PLEDGED: Obama 1,590, Clinton 1,426
SUPERS: Clinton 273.5, Obama 269
TOTAL: Obama 1,859, Clinton 1,699.5.

The problem with Hillary as VP is the so-called nightmare scenario. As we have learned by witnessing this campaign, no one can shut up Bill Clinton. If Hillary was VP, Bill Clinton could possibly overshado Barack Obama. It would not be wise for Obama to do this. Pick a Hillary supporter yes, but Hillary herself, bad idea.

Anyone who suffers from Clinton Fatigue now should work on their ESP technique and get a message to Obama: "For chrissakes, no!"

I keep hearing the same audio clip on the radio with Clinton saying that Michigan doesn't count, she knows it doesn't count.

Funny how she says something entirely different now.

She's like that.

With Hillary, some states counted before they didn't count but now they count again.

Hard to keep up with her, spinning like an epileptic dervish.

I think Richardson has a better shot at VP than Hillary and would bring more to the ticket too. The Hispanic vote will be important.

Richardson and hispanic don't belong in the same sentence. He is the whitest hispanic I have ever seen

danni-it'll be hard to get the hipanic vote, what with McCain offering instant citizenship for every illegal. I'm thinking Ted Kennedy should promote the McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill in the southwest and Colorado. Just to help his buddy John out.

"Richardson and hispanic don't belong in the same sentence. He is the whitest hispanic I have ever seen"

just watch him help to open the gates if he were chosen - tis the biggest issue i have with the dems, really... they're pro illegal immigration stance. hillary talked tough on o'really but what would she actually do?

all the best

Grasping at straws.

Why does Hillary want to disenfranchise the voters of MI?

Nary a single post from Corky.

"Nary a single post from Corky."

It's not convenient right now for me to respond.
I'm waiting for that nice Mr. Wolfson to tell me what to think.
When he does, I'll get back to you.
I think.
Yrs,
Sit and Beg

Obama should shut this thing down by running an ad in WV and Kentucky stating the republicans are endorsing Hillary. There is plenty of evidence to make the claim from Rush, to Hillary getting positive press from Faux news and Hillary getting all chummy with McBush and even her comments earlier about Obama and McBush.

The way I read it, as an advocate of Hillary you must advocate for the sacrosanct power of the people to have their votes counted. Party rules be damned.

unless of course you end up behind in all voter metrics, including delegates and popular vote.

Then, well, the rules the rules and the votes of the people can count for naught if the Super-Delegates will it..... for the good of the party of course...

Where's Corky?

Corky is waiting on the newest Talking Points Memo from Hellary. He isn't programmd Yet.

Corky is in Puerto Rico for Hillary, so she can say she won the popular vote.

Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign opposes Michigan's plan to give fewer delegates to her and more to rival Barack Obama. A Clinton campaign spokesman said Thursday that the campaign won't support any proposal that gives Clinton less than the delegates she earned winning the primary.

Hillary doesn't care how she wins, as long as she wins. She'll lie, cheat and steal all the while spinning herself silly, claiming she is a populist, the one, true champion of democracy.

Corky is in Puerto Rico campaigning (!) for Hillary

When Hillary beats her head against the wall, everyone gets a headache.

I think Richardson has a better shot at VP than Hillary and would bring more to the ticket too. The Hispanic vote will be important.

But what about the hard working white vote? How are you going to get that?
