Come ON now. Can't this mess just come to an end. I'm both bored and stressed to the max. I think I'm switching to the GOP. At least they fall nicely into line and start firing all guns in one direction.
If I had a nickel for every time lat trolled for Hilary, I'd have about 4,567,256 nickels.
Dear Billary,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is wonderful. Clinton/Obama - It's looking a little like Farmer Jones/Napoleon.
The Dems are showing their true selves - racist, gender biased, socialist, trash. If only the Republicans could put forth a real conservastive candidate.
"I actually expect to see a spate of scheduled executions,"
we could only hope!
Joe are you reading today? Just wanted to check in and let you know that the vacation is going swell and we're really looking forward to hitting the road to DC tomorrow. Hope everything is running "smoothly" back at the office.
Come on, it was not almost 10 points!
It was 8.6 points, and Obama's total delegate lead is 127, down from 131 on March 22nd.
She has no shot.
9:56,
You gotta admire her resolve, shot or no shot. And by "admire her resolve," I mean "I'm grateful that this shitshow continues to McCain's benefit."
This extended primary season has been mildly entertaining and all, but it has also served to distract from the real problems facing our country, namely, how terrifying is it that either Obama, Clinton, or McCain will be our next president? Really? One of these three clowns is the best America has to offer?
Forward a proposal, 10:11. It's easy to say that people are "clowns."
this is ridiculous. she should have dropped out a month ago when it was clear she couldn't win like romney. she disgusts me.
Why is CNN reporting different PA results than those on the Commonwealth of PA's website? Using the Commonwealth's numbers, Hillary won by 9%, not 10%

Has Obama won any big states? I don't follow closely (I'm a Re-public-an) but I seem to recall hearing Clinton winning NY, Cal, Texas, (would've won Fla) etc...
to 11:43- you are mostly right, but I believe Obama may have won Illinois (where he currently serves). However, other than that, Hillary has essentially won every state that a Dem needs to win in the general election (CA, CT, MA, NY, NJ, OH, TX, PA, and the two states whose votes they are not counting - FL and Michigan). The states that voted for Obama over Hillary are generally states whose voters in the general election are just going to vote for whatever Republican candidate is available (who happens to be McCain).
12:01: That's slightly misleading, in that, at the very least, the Democrats will win CA, CT, MA, NY, and NJ regardless of who wins the nomination. The other battleground states will be determined by the racist/sexist proclivities of voters and whichever party can dump the most money into ads for the drooling masses planted in front of their TV's. Plus, Hillary declaring victory in FL can't count as a "win."
High fives to all right wingers voting democrat - let's keep it up!!!!!!!!!
