I wondered at that comment. I doubt there are many of these types of people left, but I imagine it would still have to force them to admit that they were, in fact, not supporting a feminist ticket.

Is it time to welcome those idiots at ReclusiveLeftist back into the fold?

The answer to that question is no, in case you were wondering.

Good use of "cum". Some people have the hardest time figuring out "cum" and "come". It's a wonder English isn't required to have directions printed on it.

McCain then added, "I'm melting. I'm melting. Oh, what a world, what a world. Who would have thought all you little donors could have destroyed my beautiful wickedness?"

(my paraphrase)

After McCain had the Republican nomination locked up, but while Clinton and Obama were still fighting for the Democrat nomination there was a concerted effort by committed Republican voters to game the Democrat primaries, voting for Clinton.

This was strategy was promoted by Rush Limbaugh among others.

Many of the votes for Hillary Clinton in the primaries were from committed Republicans who felt she would be easier to beat in the general election.

So, yes, there are many Hillary voters for McCain/Palin. They had no intention of voting for Hillary in the general election anyway.

The electoral vote maps have moved North Dakota from red to toss up. The state's three electoral votes are irrelevant--Obama will win by a landslide with or without the imprimatur of the citizens of Fargo and Hoople--but it does represent a shift in thinking among at least some rural voters, i.e Miss Sarah's "Real Americans".

The upper midwest once gave us Democrats such as Humphrey, Mondale, Daschle, Harkin, McGovern, Wellstone and even Al Franken. In recent years, however, Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas have gone red or near-red. Hopefully ND is a sign of things to come. If Obama can reach rural Americans and bring them back to their progressive roots some positive change can result. The voices of the Bible-thumping demagogues may soon fall on deaf ears.

Clinton Feminists for McCain? Really? more like a figment of the imagination of so-called liberal men who love to hate Hillary (as a stand in for their mothers and exes) more than they support Obama. Yeah we get it, your mother/ex-wife is an ugly old bitch. Why still harping on this?

????
there's no, or little, evidence of any signif. nos. of then-HRC-now-McCain folks. Obama is doing great and that includes sweeping up all the former HRC fans. Like HRC urged!
And now that he's talking economics and not being so airy. See NYT magazine article today like I said.

So it's good now. Relax. Enjoy it. You already have what you want. He's winning in CO and NM and NC and VA and OH and PA and FL and MI and MO and he's wayaaaaay ahead in those electoral maps and his team is even putting more money into WV and KY now.

What more exactly do you feel you need?
We're good. Let yourself feel it.

Unity y'all--

@7,8,9 - Note the "If Any" in my post title. I linked to a comment in my Morning Outrage post yesterday from exactly such a person, so there are at least a couple, and that's what I was referring to. I agree that there are few of these people out there, but McCain's statement was still worth nothing, and not because of some supposed Freudian nonsense, 7 & 9. I happen to love my dear mother, and I'd ask you not to call her an ugly bitch again. I certainly didn't.

Is there some reason McCain allows his wife shoes?

I'm still curious as to why SLOG X'd out all the other also-ran candidates' faces on the masthead graphic, but not Hillary's. Aren't we supposed to be giving equal consideration to everyone regardless of gender?

@5 - I had the experience in late August of being dumbfounded by a casual acquaintance (whom I had assumed to be a dyed-in-the-wool East Coast liberal) telling me that she was a Clinton supporter who was now voting for McCain. Granted, this was before McCain announced Palin, but it still gave me the willies.

@7: If you don't know any women like that, consider yourself lucky. I know quite a few. But then I'm probably secretly a so-called liberal Hillary-hating man with mommy issues, right?

I was in a work situation yesterday where I couldn't fight with a person (kind of a vendor) who was telling me how stupid Obama was and how he would ruin business. But McCain was the one who graduated NEAR THE BOTTOM of his college class and Obama graduated closer to the top of his.... grr... I don't think he knows what the word stupid means.

@12 - That would be because, well, we forgot that graphic was there after the primary hubbub was over. My bad. Fixed now.

@7, @8, @9

Don't know what it's like up in the Blue Cloud-Cuckooland of Seattle, (I've been gone for over a year) but there are a goodly number of such people here in the Deep South. Hillary Yard signs, Hillary buttons, Pro-Choice, self-identified Feminists, either voting for McCain/Palin, or not at all. Even twenty-somethings on Campus...

@15: People who use 'stupid' in this sense are always Republicans, and they think of stupid the way a 12 year old does:

YOU: Explaining the geo-political underpinnings of the worldwide economic crisis

THEM: "Did you know Obama's a Muslim? I totally heard it on Hannity. Oh, OMG, also, Kendra's leaving Girls Next Door!!!"

YOU: "No, he isn't, that's been debunked a billion times. Who the hell's Kendra?"

THEM: "OMG you're so stupid - you don't know anything!" {stomping away angrily}

We won't support spine-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November !! Go Hillary 2012 !!

Ah there's the retard comment. I was just waiting for that bot to speak up.

There is an issue that tops my list.Since we have a 2 party system, the primaries need to be fair.I'm going to have to use my vote to punish the democrats for thier undemocratic and unfair primary election.Congratulations Ted, Howard, Carter, Kerry, Gore, Edwards.... You successfully kept the Woman down.

Robert, you state that the primary system was "unfair" but you provide absolutely no evidence to back that up, nor any reasoning on why allowing McCain/Palin to win the election would supposedly "fix" it.

Besides, isn't rehabilitation better than punishment? Guess not... if you're a republican.
