33. Heh
Obama will crush the man. What I'm seeing is that thousands more are showing for him than for any other candidate - what I'm seeing is that thousands and thousands are showing up to hear him speak - because he speaks with passion. What I am seeing, ladies and gentlemen, is a landslide victory for Obama. The "momentum" (you know, that word the media nitwits toss around) favors Obama overwhelmingly.

If Clinton were the nominee she would get my vote. From where I'm sitting though, that doesn't look likely. What's most likely is that - if she continues the race beyond the point of reason, the American people will lose. I do not think Al Gore will will take the position that he earned in 2000 and did not receive. I do not believe I would myself.

In 2000, heads should have rolled, we all know it was a fraud on the part of the Bush admin. We all know who won, yet instead of charging the criminals and putting the rightful President where he belongs, we heard the repeated mockery of our Nation's true President "I demand a recount.." The monkeys (sorry, I mean republicans) threw tons of shit at him (Sorry, I mean mocked him).

Let's face it - likely scenario: Obama wins the popular vote, Clinton fails to concede, it comes down to the "super delegates" who still fail to sway the balance enough to decide our nominee. Neither receives enough delegates, our nomination is over before it begins. Al Gore is offered the nomination, but refuses. What happens next? I don't know, but I see monkey shit (and lots of it) in our future.

I would gladly vote for Clinton if she were the nominee. Largely preferable to Mr "We'll sit in Iraq for 100 years." Largely preferable to the old donkey (I'm calling him a jackass in a polite manner).

Maybe I'm too cynical, maybe I should be asleep at 12:40. Maybe I'm tired of all the monkey shit we're throwing at each other. United we stand, divided we fall. It is still possible that Clinton can win - but unlikely.
