Fer Chrisakes, Hillary, we'll give you matching funds, would you PLEASE just sit down and shut up now??

Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign called on Obama to drop a TV ad in which he declares himself free of oil company money. While it's illegal to accept money from corporations themselves, Obama has accepted about $200,000 from oil company executives and employees, the Clinton campaign said.


biatch be trippin

If I remember correctly the average Obama campaign donation is >$100 so:

whips out scratch pad

~200,000/~100 = ~ 2,000 people in the oil industry, who are not registered lobbyist, have contributed to Senator Obama's campaign. Doctor Clinton's anguish sounds a little misplace to me.

I swear, it's like ever election is the worst election ever. We have some warmonger, a woman who is so devisive that no one wants her, and a man who the bigots will never elect. Lovely.

Gawd Bless America.

His radio version of this ad is on constantly, if he has the cash to keep that sort of media bombardment going right up until the primary he may just pull it off. I'm kind of hoping Obama manages to make a campaign stop here to see if our local catholic bishop has another hissy-fit Link (new window)

ksdanj: Gawd Bless America.

Naw Naw Naw Gawd DAYUM Amerika!

Can we just throw them all back and start over again?

Out of 300,000,000 Americans are these three the best the country has to offer?

SHUT THE FARK UP HILLARY

/I think I'm just gonna go with that in Obama/Hillary threads from now on, this shiat is tiring

"He is doing everything he can to win in Pennsylvania," Wolfson said. "And if he doesn't win, it will be a significant defeat for him."

Ha!

FTA:
"He is doing everything he can to win in Pennsylvania," Wolfson said. "And if he doesn't win, it will be a significant defeat for him."

What? Seriously, what?

A few weeks ago he was down by 20 points. If he even comes close to Clinton, it's a massive win for him - she needs to win very big in Penn just to stay in the freaking game. Every state she doesn't win by double digits makes the delegate gap between them harder to close.

Republicans fired back.

"Obama is trying to distract voters from his own tax-and-spend economic policies by misrepresenting McCain's domestic agenda," said Amber Wilkerson, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee. That plan includes "a balanced approach of lower taxes, transparency and accountability to help homeowners across America," she said.

heh republicans transparent and accountable? since when?
Maybe McCain should release his taxes and medical records already?

Gunther: FTA:

It's all about expectations, and it looks like they're serious about hanging in until the convention no matter what. If Obama jumps ahead in the polls they'll lower the expectations even more.

I wonder what Mr. Wolfson would say if Obama does pull off a win in Pennsylvania.

My guess is that whiplash from spinning around so hard might break his neck.

We have just under two week to the Pennsylvania election and with this kind of spending gap, Obama just might pull it off.

Random Reality Check: We have just under two week to the Pennsylvania election and with this kind of spending gap, Obama just might pull it off.

I wouldn't get my hopes up too much.

Hillary is just lowering expectations. She needs to win Pa big.
Their saying it's a "must win" for Obama is just stupid talk.

I hope he finally puts the nail in this casket.

Obama has collected $213,884 from people in the oil and gas industry as of Feb. 29, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Clinton has collected $306,813 from the same sources

Uh oh, Spaghetti Os!

Wolfson's spin makes me dizzy. I wish I had the intertube skills to show Kronos and Krang "spinning...spinning...spinning" on the Simpsons. At least thats what I first though of.

jook: Obama has collected $213,884 from people in the oil and gas industry as of Feb. 29, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Clinton has collected $306,813 from the same sources

those are not lobbyists nor are they representing their employer. they are simply individuals who make personal contributions who happen to work for an oil/gas related company.

I wonder what Mr. Wolfson would say if Obama does pull off a win in Pennsylvania.

That the state doesn't matter.

Or could it be that the just don't want her to be President??? NAH, everybody loves hil-liar-y.


And the queen of lies should recognize a lie when she sees one, some Obama must be guilty.

Hobodeluxe: those are not lobbyists nor are they representing their employer. they are simply individuals who make personal contributions who happen to work for an oil/gas related company.

Exactly. When this was getting hyped, there were articles about how big chunks of these donations were ~$100-ish contributions from people who answered the phones or worked in HR or whatever.

A little different from some tycoon giving $200K in soft money, with a little *wink wink* to the candidate. Just because you work for BP or Exxon or whatever, doesn't mean you can't choose to donate (within the usual limits) as a private citizen.

1lear: Hillary only has one main thing to say.....

wow....those are the most unfunny "de-motivators" I have ever seen

It's like everybody's sniping at Hillary now.

Keep whining Hillary, America loves a whiner.

I hope she moves on and becomes a great Senator.

Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign called on Obama to drop a TV ad in which he declares himself free of oil company money. While it's illegal to accept money from corporations themselves, Obama has accepted about $200,000 from oil company executives and employees

That's funny.

Dear Pennsylvania,

Please, for the love of all things good and pure, just vote for Obama so we can stop listening to Shrillary whine and biatch about everything and anything.

Seriously, just end this thing. You have the power.

Signed,
The rest of the country

Dr.Zom: "He is doing everything he can to win in Pennsylvania," Wolfson said. "And if he doesn't win, it will be a significant defeat for him."

Ha!

I wonder if he is familiar with the old robot saying "Does not compute." Seriously, if (I would still be willing to say when) Obama loses in PA, it's not a significant loss. He isn't/wasn't expected to win, she was. If she wins by less than 10% that is something of a coup on Obama's part.

/Seriously, Wolfson is the guy you're going to put out there
//I mean, I would be way better at sticking my head up my butt than he is and I'm not limber

By now, I'm pretty sure there's enough material for an enterprising reporter to do a 30 minute TV segment doing nothing but listing each of Hillary's totally obvious lies.

I doubt the same could be said of ANY of the other candidates, regardless of party affiliation.

The fact that Hillary is still a contender at this point just makes Americans look stupid to the rest of us.

"Obama is trying to distract voters from his own tax-and-spend economic policies by misrepresenting McCain's domestic agenda," said Amber Wilkerson, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee.

Ahahhahaha

Do the republicans still think they can use fiscal responsibility as a selling point?

Come on, folks, she's ready on Day One:

Link (new window)

Barry's massaging us in PA slow and steady, baby.




Oh YEEah.

Seriously, just end this thing. You have the power.

With closed primaries, it's not as easy. At least for those of us with standards. I won't change my party affiliation (Independant) for questionable short term gain.

She isn't a contender, that is the problem. Any sane, rational person would have accepted defeat by now. She does not have the maturity, intelligence, integrity, pride or self respect to accept defeat.

She's as crazy as a loon.

FTA: "He is doing everything he can to win in Pennsylvania," Wolfson said. "And if he doesn't win, it will be a significant defeat for him."

So if (*sigh* when) Obama loses PA, is the Clinton camp going to scream for him to step down?

/I just want this farking shiat to end

It's not fair.

FTA: "He is doing everything he can to win in Pennsylvania," Wolfson said. "And if he doesn't win, it will be a significant defeat for him."

Clinton campaign, May 6th: "If Senator Obama doesn't get every last vote in North Carolina, then I think we have a case for the nomination."

This is how a modern political campaign is run...

"I'm President. Me. I'm President. It's my turn..."

In tears, as she is being carried away in an I-Love-Me Jacket.


//Wants to see this

Pennsylvania... You are becoming less important with every passing day. You've really let Hillary down!

bookelly: Kronos and Krang "spinning...spinning...spinning" on the Simpsons.

I think it is spelling skills you are looking for.

Try "Kang and Kodos"

Translation:

Is there an over/under on the chances, if Obama wins the nomination, of her melting down and saying something to the effect of "bu- bu- but he's a goddamn (insert racial slur here, maybe "porch monkey)! You've ruined everything!!!"

/I think it'll happen
//Then she'll say it's ok using Randall's "defense" from clerks II
///It wasn't an insult, she's "taking it back"
////Not obscure at all
//especially on Fark

I think it's funny that the GOP mouthpiece is calling Obama a tax-and-spend democrat; because the current GOP administration has been very conservative in their spending. They just go to the bank that is China.

There is nothing, however, remotely funny about the HillBill campaign anymore. Pathetic.
