- thebradmiskell, on 05/10/2008, -3/+134It bears repeating that, had Obama been in her position, the race would have been declared over months ago.
- Stonecipher26, on 05/10/2008, -6/+76Wow, it's good to see everyone coming to their senses This has been over for a while now, but now there's no denying it.
- mrsoyboy, on 05/10/2008, -0/+55When pollsters stop polling, maybe even Hillary can start to accept the reality that has been out there for 6 weeks. Now at last the media has had inevitability bludgeon them over the head enough to finally report on it.
- larsone86, on 05/10/2008, -6/+54It is becoming quite clear that there is only one option left for Hillary if she wants to win back America's collective respect: get on digg and start making some anti-Hillary comments.
- jamesmyers, on 05/10/2008, -1/+32Ding Dong the witch is dead.....
- Gerz1219, on 05/10/2008, -1/+23The media narrative would've been completely different if Obama had lost 12 straight contests after a strong Super Tuesday showing. The media would have given Obama a pat on the head for a strong effort in the face of inevitability, and the Democratic leadership would have gently asked him to step aside. He would have done it, too.
- jkleinfeld, on 05/10/2008, -1/+18With the way Clinton is conducting herself, you'd have the impression that the McCain's were paying the Clintons to do this to the Democratic Party
- internetcoward, on 05/10/2008, -0/+17because you ACTUALLY think Clinton can fairly win this? As in, you're an idiot?
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -0/+17If the Hillary Democrats vote McCain regardless of the substantive differences between Obama and McCain then our country is already screwed beyond hope.
- delrin500, on 05/10/2008, -0/+15LOL... too bad that she is driven my narcissism and denial. If she acts like this in the face of obvious defeat could you imagine the decisions she would make as a President?
- headzoo, on 05/10/2008, -0/+13During a horse race, the radio announcer stops talking about the last place horses, and focuses on the first three or four that actually stand a chance of winning. That's not unprofessional, it's making the best use of your resources.
- AgentMull, on 05/10/2008, -1/+12You hear that Mrs. Clinton?... That is the sound of inevitability... It is the sound of your death... Goodbye, Mrs. Clinton...
Except this time she missteps and the train kills her instantly. - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -1/+12Exactly what I was thinking. If her last name wasn't Clinton she would've been declared irrelevant and pushed out by the MSM after 12 losses in a row.
- rentmitchum, on 05/10/2008, -0/+10She could pull it out if she surrounded herself with kittens and put a paper bag over her head.
- FyUoCuK, on 05/10/2008, -0/+10Owned.
- rentmitchum, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9I like that I can quote something like this:
"The polling firm Rasmussen Reports has just announced that it's fed the ***** up with all this *****, and -- as far as it's concerned -- Barack Obama is the winner and ***** off..."
Haha I like they used the word *****. - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9Just keep telling yourself that...
- Checkerd, on 05/10/2008, -0/+10Which old witch? The wicked witch!
- rentmitchum, on 05/10/2008, -4/+13You can't deny it, Obama's gonna ride it, all the way to the presidency.
That's the worst rap song I ever parodied. I'm sorry. Let's pretend the song only has Nate Dogg and no "Fabolous".. - gwolf, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8That's what turned me off about Clinton; we all know he would have gotten behind Hillary 110% had the situation been reversed. Hillary must really believe all Americans are still stupid enough to think everyone who looks like you is on your side. After the past eight years I think we know better.
- reed311, on 05/10/2008, -1/+9It's not like they removed Clinton from the polls months ago. They removed her because it's impossible for her to win now. Including her in polling for the general election would only skew the results. They don't decide viable candidates. There are far too many media outlets for them to get together in a meeting and decide who is going to be promoted and who isn't (and it's ridiculous to suggest they do that). The media outlets merely reflect what the people want.
In the end, it wouldn't be right for the media to cover everyone equal who wanted to be President. We would have hobo's running for President just so they could solicit donations and then buy booze or candidates abusing their free TV coverage to profit from book sales. - Stormwern, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8Lol, this is a real kick in the balls considering Clinton's love for statistics :)
- Memesink, on 05/10/2008, -1/+10I agree with an opinion that was offered not too long ago in another submission: Clinton already knows it, and has for some time. She's got her eye on 2012, now, and if she wants to be taken seriously for that, she can't quit until Obama actually has the required number of delegates for 2008.
- MacEnvy, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7They ARE NOT journalists. They are a private polling firm and they have no obligation to keep spending money conducting polls just to make Senator Clinton feel as though she still has a chance. There's simply no way for her to get enough of the remaining delegates. None. Zero chance. Period.
- Bunnybutt, on 05/10/2008, -1/+9The pollsters stop polling when it is clear that a candidate is in the losing position. Really quite simple.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6Comedy Centrals take on it:
http://blog.indecision2008.com/2008/05/09/rasmusse ... - jforjools, on 05/10/2008, -1/+7...You also know it's near the end when her new TV ad (in Oregon) throws zero ***** at Obama...I don't think she even mentioned 'her opponent'. ...Now that REALLY told me that the end is really near!
- internetcoward, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6I would agree with you, except that Clinton cannot win, so why waste their resources on something so stupid. It's like polling people on if they think JFK will zombify and run for office and if they would vote for him... C'mon people wake the f up.
- DephexTwin, on 05/10/2008, -1/+7"what will the O'Show then?"
Single Model Verb Seeks Expressive Main Verb: Let's Build a Future (Tense) Together - Qumahlin, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6After this campaign and her handling of everything it is highly doubtful she will even have a shot in 2012
- orangefly, on 05/10/2008, -1/+8check your rightwing white house and tell us who's nutty....
- StarlessKnight, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5If that's what gives your life meaning, hope for it.
- Soulglow, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5Unless,
"Something totally unforeseen like... alligators who fly UFOs that are powered by AIDS?" - jynweythek, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4no. like it or not, americans are suckers for charisma, and now it's finally on our side.
- vancanucksfan, on 05/10/2008, -1/+5that fabolous song is a ripoff of tupac's ambition az a ridah
- stretch611, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5They are probably owed money by the Clinton campaign and don't think they will ever see a dime of it. :)
- MacEnvy, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Huckabee is lucky enough that he was able to hold his governor's seat for so long - and even that was in Arkansas. He's not mainstream in any way, and he wouldn't have done nearly as well if he hadn't been able to serve the roll of "Not McCain", which is really all he was once Romney dropped out. He only ever really pulled the social conservative vote, and that alone couldn't win him the GOP.
- Pillage, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5One of the most accurate polls in the country.
- cephelo, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Or she is trying for a leadership slot in the Senate or a high level cabinet. She isn't in the House so she can't be Speaker. Unfortunately for Hillary, the succession line is Vice President, Speaker of the House, and President Pro Tempore of the Senate (senior -- aka, longest serving -- senator).
- Stevo23, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Pollster BUUUURN!
- davidlow, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Obama is the One.
- Pulch, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3I see what you did there.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3I demand to hear the candidates position on the alligators flying UFOs powered by AIDS issue!
- chaosium, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3YOU PEOPLE?!
- fredmv, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3Asphost4free? Hair styles? Give up, retard. Reported.
- Nanite, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3Try 2016 if McCain can't beat Obama in November. Obama's got 8 years written all over him if he gets elected president, and in 2012 the democratic committee will not let her run against a (supposedly) popular democratic incumbent. I don't think they've ever allowed something like that. She would have to run independent or (gasp) a republican!
- rowjimmy, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3it's not who votes, it's not even who counts the votes, it is who selects who you can vote for that decides how this country is run.
in the same way, it's not the discourse itself, it is who sets the tone of the discourse. habermas has gotta be ***** a brick (& not just cuz he is old and most likely has bowel issues) - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3what a *****
- davidlow, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Like not being able to admit when a war is over and success is impossible?
- StarlessKnight, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3Does he know Kung Fu?
