Dem Race Getting EVEN Better, Operation Chaos In Full Effect

Limbaugh Must Be Loving This

Hey folks,

A lot of people, the “Drive By Media,” Those I call the MMD {Mass Media drones} Talk Shows, Blogs, even the average America Joe on the street is watching this complete melt down of the Democrat Part. Many are giving Rush Limbaugh credit for it.

Now we have been talking about Obama’s Racist Pastor. The fact Obama denounced the comments but is keeping him on his campaign. Then lied that he did not, no, make that “Of course I knew.” No, make that “Well, I did not hear THOSE comments.” Whatever. Now he is saying that his Pastor APOLOGIZED? Really. I’m not making this up. According to the AP- Obama suggests ex-pastor is contrite By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press Writer

Democrat Barack Obama seemed to suggest in an interview aired Friday that his former pastor has acknowledged that his controversial remarks were inappropriate and hurtful, although there are no public accounts of the minister having done so.

EXACTLY If this is true, then he should tell Pastor Wright to do so publicly. Put it on the record.

Obama discussed his relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on ABC's The View, which was taped Thursday and aired Friday.

“Had the reverend not retired and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying there at the church,” Obama said.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the senator's remarks did not imply that Wright has expressed misgivings about his statements.

OH? So he is NOT sorry he said them?

“Sen. Obama was clearly saying that were Rev. Wright not retiring, he would need to be assured that the reverend understood why what he had said had deeply offended people and mischaracterized the greatness of this country,” Burton said.

{Laughing} Well, I guess that was pointless. Then you have some very powerful superdelegates, not only saying they will vote for Obama, but that Clinton should QUIT all together. According to the LA TIMES Sen. Leahy calls for Clinton to drop out

In a sign of growing anxiety over the Democrats' bitter nominating fight, a senior senator urged Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday to abandon her presidential bid and cede the race to rival Barack Obama. Clinton rejected the notion.

The recommendation from Sen. Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont that Clinton drop out came as Obama picked up support from another senator, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, the state holding the next primary, on April 22.

Maybe because people are getting tire of Clinton LYING all the time?

Separately, Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean signaled his concern over the tenor of the race by urging Obama and Clinton to scale back their rhetorical assaults, saying they risk undermining the effort to beat Republican John McCain in November.

{Laughing} Even one of the most Loony or the LWL is calling for help. That is to funny.

Dean also urged undecided superdelegates -- the party and elected officials who are likely to decide the nomination -- to pick a candidate by July 1 to avoid an irreparable rift at the party's August convention.

"Let the media and the Republicans and the talking heads on cable television attack and carry on, fulminate at the mouth," Dean told the Associated Press. "The supporters should keep their mouths shut about this stuff on both sides because that is harmful to the potential victory of a Democrat."

Well, take comfort there Screaming Dean. Many see McCain as a Democrat anyway. More on that in a second.

McCain has been making mistakes, Leahy said Friday in a written statement, but is “getting a free ride on those gaffes, because the Democratic candidates have to focus not on him but on each other.”

I love this.

“Sen. Clinton has every right, but not a very good reason, to remain a candidate for as long as she wants to,” he said. “As far as the delegate count and the interests of a Democratic victory in November go, there is not a very good reason for drawing this out.”

Translation time. SHE CAN’T WIN. Unless she attempts to STEAL it at the Convention. Which EVERYONE knows she will try to do. Everyone knows what will happen to the Democrat Party if she succeeds as well.

Get this.


"There's a lot of feeling among Democrats on the Hill that the Clintons did very little for the party. It was all about them," said one Democratic lawmaker, an Obama supporter who did not want to be identified in order to preserve a working relationship with Clinton. "We lost seats in Congress, we lost governorships, we lost statehouses. . . . And the whole time defending [President Clinton] through the impeachment process, the entire Democratic agenda got shelved."


All that is true. Along with all this. Folks, these are DEMOCRATS saying these thing. DEMOCRAT are telling the truth about the Clintons.

“There were definitely tensions,” Elmendorf said. “But I haven't heard a whole lot of people say, 'They screwed us on NATFA. They screwed us on welfare reform,'” he continued, citing two of the biggest legislative battles of the Clinton years. “I think most people ended up in a pretty decent place with the Clintons.”

Not really. Most know it also. But Leahy is not alone on his call for her to get out.

Dodd, a former presidential candidate, was more measured than Leahy, telling the National Journal on Thursday that Clinton should drop out of the race next month if voters keep rallying behind Obama.

This cannot sit well with Clinton Inc. They are not use to any of this. You really can trace this back to Rush Limbaugh calling for Journalists to ask Clinton about Drivers Licences for Illegals in NY, which they did, and she flopped BIG TIME. Then you can move a head to when Rush suggested that Republicans switch parties and VOTE for Clinton to keep her in this. It worked. Now we have what we have.

Now to this, from the AP - AP - Party fears tight Obama-Clinton finish By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press

For all their delight in soaring voter registration and strong poll numbers, some Democrats fear the contest between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton might have a nightmarish end, which could wreck a promising election year.

They really did have this locked up folks. They really should have just walked in and took over the White House, but that is not even a near possibility at this point.

Barring a complete meltdown by Obama, Clinton has almost no chance of surpassing his number of pledged delegates, even if she scores upset wins in states such as Oregon, which votes May 20. But such victories would encourage her to keep criticizing Obama — her only hope for the nomination — and thus heighten doubts about Obama's ability to defeat Republican Sen. John McCain in the fall.

That scenario troubles many Democrats, especially those who feel Obama's nomination is all but inevitable.

Yeah, well so was Clinton. Remember that?

“This is going to give Republicans a chance to try to destroy everything we've been trying to work for for eight years,” said Ken Foxworth, a Democratic National Committee member from Minnesota and superdelegate who backs Obama.

Privately, however, some party insiders worry that these superdelegates may be blithely marching toward a treacherous crossroad, where they will have to choose between a deeply wounded Obama and a soaring Clinton whose success was built on tearing down the party's front-runner in terms of delegates.

Clinton is NOT soaring.

A senior Democratic Senate aide, who would speak only on background because most members of Congress bar their staff members from being quoted by name, called it a nightmare that's getting worse.

The Democrats' optimism of February has been replaced by fear, this aide said, referring to the widely held view last month that Obama was coasting to the nomination after winning 11 straight contests. Clinton halted the skid in Texas and Ohio on March 4 and is favored to win the Pennsylvania primary on April 22.

Even that is now in question.

Obama's nomination is a foregone conclusion, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., told National Journal. Dodd endorsed Obama after trying for the nomination himself.

He's ahead of Clinton in delegates, popular votes, states won and fundraising. Obama seems nearly certain to finish the primary season far ahead of Clinton financially. At the end of February his campaign had $30 million on hand, while Clinton's had only $3 million more in cash than in debts.

After loaning herself some money. {Smile} Now HERE is something I have NOT heard before. This is interesting. I would not doubt this a bit.

Some Obama supporters question Clinton's motives: They suggest she is counting on a stunning gaffe or shocking revelation to cripple Obama and hand her the nomination. Others float a more sinister possibility, which has found its way into mainstream news accounts: Clinton hopes to damage Obama so severely that he loses to McCain this fall, clearing her path to challenge McCain in 2012, when he will be 75.

Clinton scoffs at such suggestions, and calls on voters to support whomever is the Democratic nominee in November.

Because she plans on making sure it is HER.

Whatever her motives, many Democrats fear that Clinton's continued criticisms can only hurt the man they see as their all-but-certain nominee. They point to a recent Gallup poll, in which 28 percent of Clinton's Democratic supporters said they would vote for McCain if Obama is the party's nominee. Nineteen percent of Obama's supporters said they would vote for McCain if Clinton gets the nod.

I bet you it is MUCH more than that.

Faced with such disturbing trends, some Democrats want party elders either to persuade Clinton to drop out, or to orchestrate enough superdelegate endorsements of Obama to make her defeat inevitable. But high-profile Democrats, including former president Jimmy Carter, former vice president Al Gore, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, have refrained from such moves so far.

“My job is to make sure the person who loses feels like they have been treated fairly so that their supporters will support the winner,” Dean told The Associated Press.

Indeed, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi drew objections from Clinton backers when she approached the issue by saying she shared Obama's view that superdelegates should be guided by the vote for pledged delegates.

Let the people decide. Why not? By the way, how stupid is Pat Waak?

Pat Waak, chairwoman of the Colorado Democratic Party, said the worriers should relax.

“I actually think it's good for the party to get through this process,” she said. “It gives everybody a chance to be part of it,” she said, noting that Democratic voter registration is soaring in many states.

In Pennsylvania, Democrats have registered a staggering 161,000 new voters since last fall, pushing their numbers over 4 million for the first time. In Oregon, nearly 10,000 voters have refiled as Democrats in the last seven weeks.

Because of Republicans following Rush. Do you REALLY think there are that many people out there that REALLY like Obama OR Clinton? {Sigh}

I went WAY long here. Be right back with some people’s observations on McCain.
