3. Rush Limbaugh and his kind have taken a sudden
liking to Hi-LIE-ary. That should tell people all they need to know about this charlatan in pant suits. I'll bet it's hurting her face to be forced to smile so much and to mingle with the ordinary folk. I'm sure she'd rather be around Rupert and Bill (O'Reilly that is, not Clinton)

10. Add FL in your imaginary perspective, Obama still leads.
MI was a sham, and I expect you know it. FL was, too, but could be seated as is.

Obama had zero to do with which states decided to act against the rules out of self importance.

5. If Mr. Obama is so electable...
Why is this contest still going on?

People have said it's because they are both very electable. I'm fearing it's because neither is truly electable at all.

I'll vote for whomever is the nominee, but I don't know if my vote will be enough.

11. Those people got up out of bed, got dressed, wnte down to vote, and chose Hillary.
Real live human beings, whose voices should not be silenced for the sins of petty politicians.

15. But that was BEFORE Hillary came out of the closet as a right wing DINO
I'm sure the results would be different if the set aside elections were redone.

16. Why didn't they choose Obama in Michigan? Oh I know, he was honest.
And took his name off the ballot, not realizing what a dishonest POS Hillary would become. He should know better than to be a good Democrat when the self serving Clintons are around.

7. Self Preservation Maybe - Obliteration Isn't In Our Best Interest
Course that doesn't explain Dumbya's Presidency. On second thought, maybe she will win.

8. Republicans.....
have been throwing shit at her for decades, and she's still standing. Obama supporters are simply throwing the same shit, but on steroids, and she's still standing. If Obama had this in the bag, why the continual griping, pissin', bitchin', moaning, and crying? According to DU Obama fans, it's a done deal, which indicates to me, that if Obama is indeed the nominee, his fans will continue to express their hatred for Clinton and her supporters. They may hold out their hand in an offer of reconciliation for the votes, but rest assured, their will be a knife in the other hand, hidden behind their back, and it will still be sharp with the disdain they have expressed for HRC and her supporters over this primary period. That's a guarantee. Thanks.

12. She has a strong opponent.
Same applies to Obama - if he's so goldurned great, why hasn't he won yet?

I think it's silly to say either candidate sucks based on where things stand now. We have two strong candidates.

13. Joe Scarborough, the illustrious "Morning Joe" OFTEN refers to HRC as "My Girlfriend"
Hell, I'm surprised that us dumb a** PEONS in America don't just "fall in line" for a THIRD (3rd) Clintionian DLC staffed Executive Branch?

Thank you Monarchs Clinton / Bush ... can we have another?!? More media consolidation? ... free trade? ... screwing the working and middle classes?
