Hillay bites the dust
 
That loud sucking sound heard in Potomic area was Hillary losing 3 more
primaries.

It looks like the only way Hillary will win the primary is if Billary
can steal this away with super delegates and some rule changes.

------------------------------------

I thought she did for a while, mainly because she has run around the country
promising a government solution or handout to everybody's problems or
interests. Things like promising everybody $5k for every kid born during
her administration is a great way get attention and buy votes. It's a
classic.

For what it is worth, some of the more rowdy boys on the firearms
discussion groups have been talking about voting for Obama in the
primaries in their states in order to help him win, because they think
he'll be easier to defeat in the general. In other words, they were
talking about *not* voting in the GOP primaries, as they usually do, and
crossing over to vote for Obama.

If this is the case, I have no idea how widespread it is...or isn't. I'm
pretty much convinced that either Obama or Clinton will flush McCain
down the toilet, so I don't care which of them wins the Democratic
nomination.

Yet another reason why I prefer *closed* primaries and secret ballot
voting, as opposed to open primaries, which encourage crossovers, and
caucuses, which encourage group vote, not secret ballot vote.

The far-righties are really getting apoplectic about the general
election. May they all burst an artery.

Yet, you are a fan of "brokered" conventions?

Sorry about that.

I read that Rush was recommending people contribute to Hillary's
campaign because he believed the Repub's can beat Hillary, but Obama
will win against McCain.

Hillary has a shrill tone.

McCain has a arrogant tone.

Obama has an optimistic tone.

Obama will win against McCain.

McCain will win against Hillary.

Nah, as far as delegates, she's really not that far behind. The media
spin, however makes it look like Obama is just running away with the
nomination.

I like the rough and tumble of tight primary races and conventions in
which delegates make a difference, and have to vote many times in order
to select a delegate. A good convention is like a microcosm of the House
of Representatives, with the delegates elected by the people back home
working for consensus. It's not the same animal as a caucus.

Today's conventions are just too antiseptic for my taste.

Oh, and despite what the pundits say, I believe Clinton and Obama will
be well-served by fighting for the nomination to the very end. Democrats
will be happy with either candidate.

You don't suppose Republicans are responsible for the record turnouts in
the Democratic primaries? Nah, I think Obama is bringing record numbers
into the fold. Either that, or record numbers of Americans are motivated
by the past eight years of Bush.
