It was an attack on hope. We'd think you would be against that.

I'll leave that up to his mother.  The word was will.

Because it was alot more than a mere 'gesture', and as such, being turned down by the Clinton's would have been to treat him like a child when he's clearly trying to transition to an adult. Or perhaps you're just jealous because you realize only a classy parent is capable of raising a classy child, 'dad'.

Yes, even to a kid. Especially to a kid who did this. It would be equivalent to saying you are just a little kid, you don't matter.

Yes, shame him for being too poor to make a "meaningful" contribution.

Oh, the hope and unity.

Few and far between. I'm so glad Michelle stayed in Chicago when Obama joined the Senate.

Don't count on it. My neighbor's kid said, "Dad, why were you so self-absorbed with greed, fame and fortune that you totally missed the few years I was home growing up?"

do not belong in the lovely story of this 11-year-old kid.

please just go away.  

NO!

He can clinch it by taking 2209 delegates, and preferably without superdelegates (who can change their minds, and their vote is only final at the convention.)

So, bring 2209 pledged delegates and the nomination is yours.  

Any other thing, however cleverly disguised, is asking Hillary to concede when she is running a close race.  She won't, so deal with it.  

No one can be named the nominee of the party without  half plus one of the delegates credentialed and seated at the convention.

Since the credentialing process is not yet complete, the only way one can be the nominee before the convention is to have half plus one of the maximum number possible for the convention or to drive out all of the competition to concede.

That number is 2209.  Any number short of that is illegitimate and so is any nominee who claims to have won with less.  Any media outlet that opts to reinforce such a fraudulent claim is interferring with the election process.

I would think that anyone with any political instincts would know from the getgo that we don't like coronations in this country, no matter who does it and who bows down.  It doesn't mean we can't be lied to , manipulated and fooled.  But when we find out we don't like it.

 It's an American value to be self determining and when we are in touch with our better selves, we value hard work, earning your way, telling it straight, standing up for the voiceless, playing fair and not letting men gang up on a woman.

In more and more parts of the country people are coming to feel that those values are being trashed by the Obama campaign and the media enabling it.  Commenters from Pennsylvania, for instance are asserting today that more voters are for Hillary now that on primary day because of the Obama forces. In the last few days dozens of long time Democratic activists have commented that they have concluded the process of re-registering as Independents.

If we can keep looking at the information on how Hillary actually did with different demographics that the conventional wisdom and lazy media say Obama rules, we see very active movement in her direction, especially with young people, white men and others Obama used to win.

Why is he unable to wait, even a few weeks before he does his most unseemly self-coronation?  What difference will a couple of weeks make, or a couple of months, for that matter?

I think he is afraid...afraid of what will come out soon...afraid of the changing numbers with voters losing interest in him...afraid tha Hillary's support among voters is growing and a drop in his own fundraising..afraid of the trials in Chicago...and tired of doing the work of actually winning the nomination so he is just going to take it.  Unless we stop him.

And we do that by raising up information and research and putting out to the press and the net and the superdelegates and potential voters. We have to stay on the press and the party leaders to demand accuracy, fairness and some education about what is really happening. And we find a way to get the money flowing for Hillary and she'll do the rest.

He did much less well in the Philly suburbs and getting the numbers of young and Black voters to come out to vote that were anticipated.  If we were doing this analysis and getting it out, we could help the superdelegates see where their self interests really are.

And don't think Hillary as the VP is the answer.  Most of the people who admire and support her can imagine how crushing such a move could be to her.  I have seen a lot of references to "9-5" type exploitation.

He has shown himself to be a user who doesn't value friends and associates and who doesn't like to contribute or work hard for what he gains.

 Besides read the Republican magazines and journals.  They are so ready for him.  His time in Chicago that we don't care to explore is something they are getting very familiar with.  That's what is going to take him down and Hillary will get stained from standing too close.

Yep, the only "W" in the White House needs to be a woman.

she's not alone, all of us want him out out out. Did you notice the media hardly ever covers him these days, it's like he's already gone, except he isn't.   We have to win this one, another four years of pug rule will sink us even further. there is a big enough mess to clean up already.  

mydd's numbers are cherry picked.

The Reason I don't like the MyDD numbers is twofold:

I don't know where they come from, and the don't show me how close a state is. Also, Poblano's site has the history of polls.

How well was Hillary polling before the primary?

What was it?

30 points?

Hillary supporters more than anybody should know that polls
don't mean much. The polls have really panned out for her swell.

None of them ask why this is the only place were you can find that electoral map.  The rest of the reality based community doesn't have it close to that way.

Making shit up and then clinging to it doesn't avert reality.  It's pathetic really.
