women for barack obama
ok, a few days past super tuesday but check out this clip, women for barack obama rally, and listen to samantha power (pulitzer prize winner and barack's foreign policy advisor) inspire the crowd.
Any Democratic candidate who cannot win California and New York should call it a day.
Obama could not win a single Electoral College megastate vital for any Democratic candidate, with the sole exception of his own home base of Illinois.
OBAMA TROUNCED IN THE MEGA-STATES
He proudly lists Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota, and Utah. What do these states have in common? They are states which a Democrat could never win in a general election.
Delaware is a perfect state for Obama ri h Volvo-driving, chablis and brie elitists in the Philadelphia suburbs, but it does not look like America. Colorado is another Obama state where the well-off suburban voter can be decisive in a Democratic primary. True, Obama won Connecticut, which has some union voters, but it looks like Greenwich, Cos Cob, and Yale carried the day. Missouri might fall to Clinton on a recount; in any case, the race was very close. Minnesota is a special case because of the Democrat Farmer-Labor Party; this was in any case a state that went for Mondale, for various reasons not a good bellwether.
Love your liberty? Why add amendment to the constitution? Love your liberty? Why support warrantless wiretapping? And a smoking ban.

Ok, so what about South Carolina, and Iowa, Maine, Washington State and of course Louisiana? Your argument makes no sense at all.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia and New York will be in the hands of a democrat in the general anyway. What difference does it make?
Democrats are clamoring for something new, not the same old politics.
