Hillary got rolled.

Funny how all of the networks and CNN especially tried to hide the dismal 3rd place showing of Mrs. Bill Clinton.... but not a surprise to me.

Dude, you're out of your fucking mind! Seriously! It was the biggest thing I've heard all day --ON CNN!!

The only other part of the discussion is that Edwards might be finished. But clearly no one hid the fact that Hillery got owned...

Clinton out of it Edwards says

Gotta love the whore media spin.....

Edwards, who came in at #2 with no corporate financing and very little media coverage is "finished", while Hillary, the media annointed "front runner" since January 20, 2005 finishes third, and it's a minor bump in the road.

Face it, if the preliminary media hype is the standard to measure results by, Hillary TANKED, and Edwards performed far better than expectations.

If Hillary doesn't win New Hampshire, she's done. Because she's not taking South Carolina. And even Harry Reid's kid isn't going to be able to deliver Nevada for her if she goes in 0 - 3.

Hopefully by then, the "electability" machine will kick in, and that DLC whore will be completely locked out of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Tuesday.

And now, this brief FORD editorial.....


It just hit me today how HUGE this really is.

I'm not saying Obama will be President. I'm not even saying he's my preferred candidate yet.

But the reality is, a black man named for his African father won the first major Presidential primary in the USA last night.

That's history, my friends. And regardless of what else happens, it's a damn big step forward for this country.

And yet...people will still be crying how racist this country is and how disadvantaged people are...

And they'd be correct on the former, and wrong about the latter....

And racists come in all colors....





The only disadvantaged people in the US are those who must vote via Diebold. :D

There are always random assholes and haters, no matter where you are. There are probably even weird people out there that don't like me. But what the fuck, a mostly white state just voted for a black dude to be president. If that's not acceptance, then nothing ever will be.

Fair point about the 'all colors,' though.

Agreed. It does my heart good...

Actually, bigots come in all colors. Racism implies power, to institutionally oppress or marginalize a group of people, and minorities do not as a rule have that ability, sorry...

Ya know I love ya, Lounge, but y'know...personal experience on the subject speaking here..

Why is JHale playing the race card..?

No, I wasn't/didn't. Just explaining a subtlety.
Y'know, word usage and whatnot...

Carry on...

Another issue involving the Obama victory was the fact that voters are sending a clear message that they are fed up with this Bush/Clinton, Bush/Clinton dynasty. I don't think it mattered if Obama was a blue colored martian from planet Saturn, the citizens of Iowa clearly stated their disdain for HITLARY. It is obvious that Americans want change and Obama brings a breath of fresh air to politics. Personally, I don't care for his left leaning politics but anyone is better than Hitlary. Vote Ron Paul!!!!!

[Nickdfresh]

There's no question that people on both sides are sick of political dynasties...
