Hey DU,
Hope you enjoy today's cartoon!

1. I see we're working the weekend and for good reason

The SD's do need to end this tonight.

[Crazy Dave]

4. I see a lot of minds made of this weekend and just about all after Tuesday

Plus I see about four or five Hillary SD's jump to Obama. The questions to these coy, attention and pandering seeking shits will no longer be, "Who will you vote for?", it will now be "Why would you support Hillary?" and they don't want to have to answer questions like that.

7. True, Dave.

6. Yeah, sasquatch. It was one I couldn't let go.

2. Robert Kennedy was assasinated after 13 Primaries

At the moment of RFK's death, the delegate totals were:

Hubert Humphrey 561
Robert F. Kennedy 393
Eugene McCarthy 258


Primaries

Only 13 states held a primary at this time (California, Oregon, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Florida).

Why did she compare the race in which he was assasinated to the race with Obama?

3. I think because she identifies herself, not Obama, with RFK

That's ONE way to look at her bizarre remarks from yesterday.

One pattern that has emerged from her candidacy is that of fancying herself as victim. I don't think she'd be willing to put Obama into the role of victim! Maybe she's suggesting that something terrible is going to happen to her if she doesn't get the delegate votes, the nomination, etc.

She's been too busy portraying herself as victim (even if only in her own mind) to give that position over to anyone else.

From any angle, any way you look at what she said and trying to make sense of it, there are no redeeming features to it. And no matter how you look at it, she has now proved herself unfit for the presidency. It's just not defensible.

5. Your last paragraph sums it up for me

Whatever her reasons, she's not doing herself any favors by saying stupid/outrageous/inflammatory things.

We've already seen what can happen when Bush shot off his mouth and said some pretty idiotic stuff....for example, using the word "crusade" right after 9/11. Or his stupid "joke" about the missing WMDs. Or his other stupid "joke" about not minding a dictatorship as long as HE was the dictator. And there are a million more of them.

We do NOT need another four years of gross foot-in-mouth disease. We can't afford another Fearless Leader who offends people each time she opens her mouth.

9. Good point, pipi_k

11. hypersensitive nation

I think part of the problem is that everyone gets offended so easily.

8. That may be true, checks-n-balances.

10. Very interesting point...

had not crossed my mind.
