Slog - Comments on The Final (Yeah, Right) Countdown http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/the_final_yeah_right_countdown It's been more than a month since the last Democratic primary. Remember March 11 in Mississippi? I'd bet a lot of our readers would like to go back to that moment in time—back before the reviled ABC debate, before "bitter"-gate, before the Rev. Wright tapes and the Crown Royal shot and the gutter balls and the Jay Z mimicking. But the nominating calendar waits for no one, so on we go... To Pennsylvania, where, in less than 24 hours, we'll know which candidate has won, by how much, and who's doing what about it. The conventional wisdom is that Hillary...

Ten points doesn't get her anything. She needs to win by 20 at least, and she needs to do it in every one of the remaining states. A ten point win is going to get her, what, five extra delegates?

However, many of them were serving some particular constituency that may have been ill represented, and sought to push the frontrunners on key policy issues.

Verbal gaffes and angry pastors are not key policy issues.

Frankly, I'm getting tired of the outright sexism here. Don't think I won't leave because I left DailyOsama when their misogyny became unbearable.

Anyone who doesn't support Hillary hates women. It's really that simple. If you want to find out more facts, visit NoQuarterUSA.net and Hillaryis44.org for the truth about Barry Hussein and his blowjob queen Michelle.

In conclusion, Rezko!!!!

PS: Pay attention to mEeeeeeeeeeee

Actually, it's worse, in that, due to where Obama's votes are, he might even WIN Pennsylvania's delegate count (Philly and near Philly rules!) with a 4-6 point loss statewide.

So, any election night watch parties in Seattle? I'll be busy, but maybe the Clinton supporters might like to watch a win ... probably their last one.

Arnold Schwarzenegger gets the Republican nomination, wins the Presidential election, and four years later we're in a Cold War with Mexico, no gay person is safe from street violence, and the poor are living in forced labour camps.

She's every bit as bad as Dick Cheney, Even though the NIE says that Iran isn't close to having a nuclear weapon she's advocating some sort of deterrent regime where if, Iran attacks someone with a nuclear weapon that they don't yet have, we'll massively respond. Not just Israel mind you, but the rest of the Middle East as well.

She stole this straight out of a fucking Charles Krauthammer column. She's nothing more than a pro-choice neocon.
