...So, after reading the article, I gather that she may sue just because...she's mad? Is that really it?

Why not just give it back to mexico?

Dear Mrs. Clinton,

DIAF please.

Sincerely,
The American People

CalvinMorallis: ...So, after reading the article, I gather that she may sue just because...she's mad? Is that really it?

Basically. You know these crazy Texas elections make grown men cry.

Empanda: Basically. You know these crazy Texas elections make grown men cry.

I would make a joke relating to Mrs. Clinton's gender, but that would be sexist on my part, and so I will not make a joke about the fact that Hillary is a she-man. I won't.

In all seriousness, though, what her grounds for such a suit be?

Well, you probably should feel free to make jokes. She's the one who said the Texas primaries were confusing and that they made grown men cry.

Empanda: Well, you probably should feel free to make jokes. She's the one who said the Texas primaries were confusing and that they made grown men cry.

Wow. That was actually a quote? I thought you were just being snarky.

I understand Hillary Clinton's position. Lots of times, I go to casinos and, after losing lots of money, I start throwing a fit that the games, which I agreed to play and understood the rules for in advance, were fixed and biased against me.

CalvinMorallis: In all seriousness, though, what her grounds for such a suit be?

I can't imagine. It's not like the rules were changed part way through. Unless she plans on someone claiming that they must have been rigged somehow.

That's what really bugs me. All over CNN, MSNBC, the national papers...everyone's talking about the possibility of her suing.

But not a single news outlet, that I've come across anyway, has done even a single story along the lines of: "There is no legal basis for filing a lawsuit in this matter."

Hey Empanda! I'm suing you! Why? I dunno, but you'll sure as hell hear from my attorney!

CalvinMorallis: Empanda: Well, you probably should feel free to make jokes. She's the one who said the Texas primaries were confusing and that they made grown men cry.

Wow. That was actually a quote? I thought you were just being snarky.

From an article on MSNBC:

Clinton was asked to explain to the press how Texas' delegate allocation worked. Her response: "I have no idea. I mean, I've got people trying to understand it as we speak...Grown men are crying over trying to understand it," she joked. "I had no idea how bizarre it was until, you know, we had to start figuring it out."

I was being a bit snarky, but she provided the fodder.

This is America!! Since when do you need a reason to sue someone here? Burying someone under crushing litigation is practically the national sport.

Empanda: CalvinMorallis: In all seriousness, though, what her grounds for such a suit be?

I can't imagine. It's not like the rules were changed part way through. Unless she plans on someone claiming that they must have been rigged somehow.

Well, she might leave the state with less delegates than Obama. She's the anointed one. What more proof do you need?

/My Clinton-like logic. Let me show you it.

You'd expect better from a presidential candidate, though....even that one

Empanda: Her response: "I have no idea. I mean, I've got people trying to understand it as we speak...Grown men are crying over trying to understand it," she joked.

And, as we all know, if grown men can't figure something out, Hillary Clinton, a woman, has absolutely no chance to figure it out.

Also, it's so confusing that men are expressing emotion over it. That must be REALLY confusing since men have absolutely no emotions.

How's that breaking-gender-stereotypes campaign working out for you, Hillary?

i mentioned this to a friend of mine who lives in texas. her reply was "yeah... i'm sure that will make her look like anything but a biatch"

oh and just cause it's a hillary thread

burndtdan: i mentioned this to a friend of mine who lives in texas. her reply was "yeah... i'm sure that will make her look like anything but a biatch"

Makes me glad I went to the caucus. And yeah that's exactly how it makes her look.

That Clap Clap Point Point sign always makes me laugh.

THIS....Twice.

She's gonna win, and I'm gonna go into a 4 year depression.

DamnYankees: She's gonna win, and I'm gonna go into a 4 year depression.

Dude! Keep the faith!

CalvinMorallis: DamnYankees: She's gonna win, and I'm gonna go into a 4 year depression.

Dude! Keep the faith!

Well, there isn't much more I can do. I've already voted, I've given more money than I can frankly afford, and my phone banking skills suck

Not much left to do but sulk. Pessimism, baby!

DamnYankees: Well, there isn't much more I can do. I've already voted, I've given more money than I can frankly afford, and my phone banking skills suck

I live in West Virginia, so I get to be all sunshine and rainbows till May...when she beats Obama here by 15-20 points. Most of our superdels, though, are committing to him, except for Byrd, who's still uncommitted (though I'm pretty sure he'll sign on for Barack, as well).

So basically, she got plowed for organizing a Primary-heavy campaign strategy, and not organizing around the caucuses?

And you want this person to be the President?

She's a monster.

What? What did I say?

Rev. Skarekroe: She's a monster.

What? What did I say?


You're fired!

Assuming of course that Byrd's still alive... dude's be looking a bit iffy lately

Why the accusation that Obama is trying to 'retroactively claim victory'? He's just setting the story straight; it was the media that was wrong.

clgrin: Assuming of course that Byrd's still alive... dude's be looking a bit iffy lately

Gah...I shudder just to think of that day.

You have no idea--it'll be like an official Day of Mourning around here.

Don't mess with Texas.

Dems are really building confidence in how they'll run the country.

Looks like Texas doesn't belong after all...

Of course this is true, but you are dealing with the media. What makes you think 'truth' is important.

I live in Indiana and he's beating her in the few polls I've seen by 15-20 points, but most of our superdels are committed to her. Indiana - the bizarro West Virginia?

I imagine those ay WV State would feel the same?

If she ends up suing, it'll probably be over something trivial, like an Obama supporter that frowned at a Clinton supporter during the caucus, blown completely out of proportion, and plastered all over the Clinton sycophantic news media. Anything to question the legitimacy of the results in Texas, and by extension, all caucuses everywhere.

So much for her pledge to not tear apart the party through legal technicalities and backroom-dealing. :/

"He [Mr Obama] has attacked me continuously for having no hard exit date, and now we learn he doesn't have one, in fact he doesn't have a plan at all," she said.


My head's gonna 'splode before these goddamn primaries/caucuses are over with.

The polls I've seen also have HUGE undecided numbers. I remember seeing Obama winning 40-25 in one poll. That's 35% who haven't decided yet.

Oh, and whenever I see Evan Bayh on TV, he is the 2nd biggest douche and political hack I've ever seen. Number one still is, and will probably always be, McAuliffe.

FTFY

Now I'm getting whiplashiathought her pitch was that she paid REALLY close attention to what her husband did as president so that she's really really qualified and experienced. Now we find out that she was not paying any attention at all to the Texas primary/caucus rules after her husband ran there twice, under the same doggone rules. Guess she was too busy planning her tea and cookies menu for the Northern Irish.

This is what you get to look forward to for 4 more years if she's nominated people. Haven't you had enough of 6 years of Rovian politics?

DamnYankees: Pessimism, baby!

But think about it. You have two real options left over


1. She gets the nomination. You get the satisfaction of being right
2. Obama gets the nomination. You get a better outcome than expected.

That is the beauty of pessimism.

/Natural pessimist

Beachcomber: Looks like Texas doesn't belong after all...

If we're measuring this by Delegates won, then Nevada isn't part of the pantsuit belt either.

So I guess by Hillary Logic, the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl?

So let me see if I have this straight:

A) Bill Clinton said Hillary would have to drop out unless she won both Ohio and Texas.
B) Obama is currently projected to win Texas, 98-95 delegates.
C) Hillary is not dropping out of the race.
D) Ergo, Bill Clinton is a filthy, filthy liar.

Did I get that straight?

Still waiting for the media to issue corrections and retractions concerning their false "Hillary wins Texas" stories. Also waiting for them to acknowledge that Obama actually won Nevada by delegates, and that New Hampshire was really a tie.

The bias in the media in favor of Hillary this whole campaign season has been disgusting.

Fark this coont, seriously.

/My mom threw away her caucus vote on her
//Whole family is going for Obama :)
