All the better for her 2012 chances.

 
KrunkSplein [TotalFark] 2008-08-14 04:43:29 PM  
Talk about setting her gender back 60 years... this is ridiculous! As the first female candidate with a real chance at the nomination, she's setting the example. Apparently, women nominees are whiny, manipulative and vindictive. She's basically saying, "If I can't win the election, NO democrat can!"

If the Dems want party-unity, they need to send Hillary on a nice 4-month vacation somewhere where they can't do any further harm.

I don't think she's doing any real harm here. Most of her supporters now back Obama. It's now down to about 60 old, bitter women clinging to their guns old bitter candidate.

You folks have not been paying attention. Senator Obama wants this vote count so as not to be seen hiding anything and that his win is clean. Senator Clinton wants to get ready for the next election.

Don't be blinded by the Republican propaganda you Fark IndependentsTM you.

Did you expect people to RTFA?

I'm sure Obama's not exactly thrilled about this, but it's better than just ignoring the Batshiat contingency.

They should pass out cheesecake to the delegates. Maybe that will shut them up.

I dunno..maybe. Hot summer nights..too much espresso and pachouli. Could be chaos in Denver. Looks like a tinderbox.

The way you (and Rush Limbaugh and various other dittoheads) keep spouting the "There's a-gonna be riots in Denver!" schtick with your barely-concealed gleam of excitement and hope is almost as annoying as your (and Rush Limbaugh and other cretins) constant misuse of the terms "Marxist" and "Communist".

Why don't you just come out and say it. You really really hope that there is violence and mayhem in Denver so that you can

a) Get your jollies off watching other people get hurt
b) Feel like some political point about the Democratic party has been made.

The "dispassionate prediction" thingy is really starting to get boring though. Find a new toy.

You've been orgasming over the idea that something crazy is going to happen in Denver for the past 2 months. I'd think by now you'd be completely on to a war with Russia to go googoo over and talk about how the energy wars have become...but now we're back to this again?

 
GaryPDX [TotalFark] 2008-08-14 05:34:38 PM  
Jeeez..no sense of humor. I was hacking on pachouli and lack of fried foods.

It's a joke the first time you make it. It's annoying and childish when it is the crux of your post on the subject for two months.

I am absolutely amazed at how cavalier you are with the idea of going to war with Russia.

You seem borderline giddy at the concept.

Yeah. Right.

And the kazillion other times you've publicly whacked-off in these threads while moaning "Ohhhhh yeah.....riots in Denver.....yeah...that's it.....riots.......Mmmmmmm.....just like that, baby...." ? Also kidding?

Not terribly believable.

I don't get it. Are people complaining that a nominating convention is unfair because people are actually convening to nominate someone?

Does Obama somehow have a constitutional right to Infomercial-style exposure to America for three days in a row?

Who said it was unfair?

It's just stupid. Clinton lost, but the whiny Cheesecake Brigade can't accept defeat like adults, so Obama is throwing them a bone: he's going to let them lose again at the convention. Nobody's claiming it's unfair, just childish.

No, it's just more that she's like the villain in a horror movie who the good guys think they have vanquished, only to have her pop up, shrieking, wielding a knife, attacking them once again before it finally ends. Only the ending is somewhat vague -- you see a hand twitch or a wink from the villain, because they're thinking "sequel."

We'll have to wait four years, but Hillary 2: Why didn't she give up? will be released sometime around then.

Canada can't get any work done in Parliament so Harper is thinking about calling for another election. Link (new window)

At least our election procedure is straight forward.

doyner [TotalFark] 2008-08-14 06:14:25 PM  
This actually makes sense. She'll lose the vote at the convention and concede. There really is no other way to avoid an ugly walk-out and major black eye for the DNC.

It is by far the least of the evils they could have chosen to prevent a party meltdown by the cheesecake brigade.

I grew up in the cold war. It never stopped, just abated for a while. The Russians have always been warlike. It's not surprising to me they did what they did.

 
serpent_sky [TotalFark] 2008-08-14 06:34:19 PM  
Haha... someone on CNN just made a great comment: "I hear there is a meeting now where Hillary is deciding whether or not to allow Barack to attend the convention at all."

I have never seen a more sore loser. I thought she was supporting him -- why on earth wouldn't she just say "no, I have put my support behind Obama, and would like my supporters to do so as well."

This is really ugly, all told.

If Hillary somehow 'wins' this, it'll be a disaster. If Hillary becomes the nominee, the presidency will be McCain's. Plenty of Democrats don't like her, and the Republicans obviously hate her (far more than they hate Obama, for that matter). And they won't have to dig up insubstantial crap to fling at her like they are doing with Obama: The Clinton family has plenty of legitimate scandals. It will be a landslide. The people who think Hillary has any chance of winning the presidency are just as deluded as the people who think Bush was a good president.

Hillary's not done yet.
It's hilarious that you Democrats are just now realizing something the rest of us have known since the Clintons came to the national stage...they are ruthless and will do anything for power.

Someday you will realize that Obama's not this perfect darling you think he is too.

I'm looking forward to whatever she pulls in Denver. It should be a fun show. It's too bad the Republicans dont' have something like this going on too...maybe they'd get a better candidate.

//voting for Bob Barr for REAL change

I wonder what kind of back-stabbing shenanigans she's scheming. If Obama actually wins in November, her opportunity to run for POTUS is over and done.

/Nobody wants to elect and old lady.
