Open Thread

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

Who's going to win, who has a better chance against McCain, or whatever else is on your mind.

We have decided to stop allowing anonymous comments. Not because we don't like reading what people have to say but because Blogger has introduced a new "feature" that makes you go to a second page when the number of comments go over 200.

It's very easy to set up a Google account so that you can continue commenting.

And please be excellent to one another. We do not accept name calling or any attacks on our commenters. Any objectionable comments will be deleted. Try to be civil.

Thanks!

mikeruthgis-

I'm not sure how long you have been on this thread, but the chances of persuading Yamaka, Aunt Jean, and Jim to change their minds on any issue is equal to the chances of Hillary winning the nomination!

OBAMA / Kathleen Sebelius '08

Yamaka,


So, why not quit talking about popular vote metrics NOW? It doesn't mean anything and is potentially highly divisive.

mikeruthgis
popular vote discussion is potentially highly divisive to whom?
It does seem to cause panic attacks among Obama supporters. You all are whistling through the graveyard.

leah,
mikeruthgis has probably been around a while under another alias.
I often suspect you are all the same person with multiple emails and names.

Just a thought-

One thing that seems to keep popping into my head the past few days while reading a few articles about how Senator Obama is a much stronger candidate now (besides of Hillary staying in the race as long as she has) is back a couple of months ago when Hillary said when she was asked 'Why would you pick Obama for your V.P.?" and she answered "He's not ready now but by the convention he probably will be" (some words to that effect).

Well it makes me think that she probably knew back at that time that he needed to be vetted on the issue of Rev. Wright and a few other issues in order to make him a stronger candidate - so I'd be my bottom dollar that many of the things she has done has been to toughen up Obama. I think that she probably realized long ago that he was the one that would probably get the nomination.

I know that this is wishful thinking on my part - but I guess there is some tiny part of me, way down deep inside, that still holds a glimmer of hope that she has enough respect for America and the Democratic Party to do the right thing.

And also don't forgot that SEVERAL times Senator Obama has said to us "Remember that no matter what happens during this campaign in the end Senator Clinton and I will still be friends".

So here we are sitting in the audience watching the play on the stage being played out - one that has probably been already scripted out.

Jim, Yamaka,
maybe you didn't read last night's posts, but your ally Aunt Jean agreed that whoever wins the popular vote if he/she wins with 100K or less it is unsignificant and shouldn't be used to convince anyone? Do I see a division in your group? Tyler already accepted the reality and moved to positive position focused on GE!
