These people have boxed themselves into a corner of their own making. They want to threaten to vote for McCain, against their own self-interests, fine. Let them have their tantrums. But they are becoming more irrelevant by the minute.

A recent sample of their insanity:

John Fund of the Wall Street Journal was on Laura Ingraham's show this morning, talking about the bombshell, according to our own No Quarter author Bud White.
Bob Beckel, Democratic analyst for Fox News, reported on TV already that a "bombshell" is coming out tomorrow
VIDEO BELOW. Here are written reports to date (and I will ADD MORE as they come in) -- and I am adding the DEVASTATING electoral college projections up at HillBuzz that further underscore Obama's unelectability. Obama is toast.

John Fund, Wall Street Journal:

"Indeed, rumors are swirling on the campaign trail that a new video will soon surface featuring Mrs. Obama appearing on a panel with radical speakers during which she makes more controversial statements."

Bob Beckel on Fox News, via HillBuzz blog:

he has been told by numerous people,(enough and in a way that convinced him) that a bombshell will be dropping tomorrow about Michele Obama.

The Friends turned white and asked what it might be...was it worse than a college thesis? Bob said--Oh yes, in a BIG way. He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee. ...

READ THAT ONE AGAIN: "it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee ..."

I AM PUTTING THE VIDEO BELOW THE FOLD TO LESSEN STRESS ON THE SERVER:

A.P. Is Wrong -- and KARL ROVE's Analyses Are SPOT ON! Obama is limping, wounded ... cannot win in November

Posted: 03 Jun 2008 10:33 AM CDT

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM CLINTON CAMPAIGN:

The AP story is incorrect. Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening.

(We know the source of this story, don't we. It's Barack Obama's Chicago-corrupt machine trying to suppress voter turnout in South Dakota and Montana -- they are freaking out at his HORRIBLE poll numbers. Obama and his GANG OF THUGS campaign staff will do ANYTHING to win. AND this team of THUGS has regularly used VOTER SUPPRESSION TRICKERY.) NOW KARL ROVE -- BRILLIANT and spot-on analyses from Fox News last night:

Obama's expected opponent in the general election, Republican primary winner Jack Ryan, withdrew from the race in June 2004.[33] In August 2004, with less than three months to go before election day, Alan Keyes accepted the Illinois Republican Party's nomination to replace Ryan.[34] A long-time resident of Maryland, Keyes established legal residency in Illinois with the nomination.[35] Through three televised debates, Obama and Keyes expressed opposing views on stem cell research, abortion, gun control, school vouchers, and tax cuts.[36] In the November 2004 general election, Obama received 70% of the vote to Keyes's 27%, the largest victory margin for a statewide race in Illinois history.

Keyes was the worst POSSIBLE candidate.

Obama got lucky.

He's also very good at what he does.

One might be tempted to call Keyes a patsy. Sometimes I really do wonder at Obama's miraculous rise from relative obscurity to presidential candidate in 4 short years. Has the fix been in for that long?

Midway through his campaign for U.S. Senator, Obama wrote and delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts.

Hmmmm...

Sure was a nice coincidence, this young legislator getting that kind of exposure just when he needed it most.

Y'never know these days...

More Wikipedia, this time about the miraculous demise of Obama's Ratpub opponent's campaign for the Senate in 2004. YOU know...the real one, before that buffoon Keyes showed up. The one who wasdeep into it before the campaign became an Illinois version of a Roadrunner cartoon.

[Jack} Ryan married actress Jeri Ryan in 1991; together they have a son, Alex Ryan. They divorced in 1999 in California, and the records of the divorce were sealed at their mutual request. Five years later, when Ryan's Senate campaign began, the Chicago Tribune newspaper and WLS-TV, the local ABC affiliate, sought to have the records released. On March 3, 2004, several of Ryan's GOP primary opponents urged release of the records.[5] Both Ryan and his wife agreed to make their divorce records public, but not make the custody records public, claiming that the custody records could be harmful to their son if released. On March 16, 2004, Ryan won the GOP primary with 36 percent to 23 percent against Jim Oberweis who came in second.[6] Obama won the Democratic primary, with 53 percent to 23 percent against Dan Hynes, who came in second.

Barack Obama's backers emailed reporters about the divorce controversy, but refrained from on-the-record commentary about the divorce files.[7] On March 29, 2004, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider ruled that several of the Ryans' divorce records should be opened to the public, and ruled that a court-appointed referee would later decide which custody files should remain sealed to protect the interests of Ryan's young child.[8] The following week, on April 2, 2004, Barack Obama changed his position about the Ryans' soon-to-be-released divorce records, and called on Democrats to not inject them into the campaign.[7] The Ryan campaign characterized Obama's shift as hypocritical, because Obama's backers had been emailing reports about the divorce records prior to Judge Schnider's decision.[7]

On June 22, 2004, after receiving the report from the court-appointed referee, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider released the files that were deemed consistent with the interests of Ryan's young child. In those files, Jeri Ryan alleged that Jack Ryan had taken her to sex clubs in several cities, intending for them to have sex in public.[1] The decision to release these files generated much controversy because it went against both parents' direct request, and because it reversed the earlier decision to seal the papers in the best interest of the child. Jim Oberweis, Ryan's defeated GOP opponent, commented that "these are allegations made in a divorce hearing, and we all know people tend to say things that aren't necessarily true in divorce proceedings when there is money involved and custody of children involved."[1]

Prior to release of the documents, Ryan had told leading Republicans that five percent of the divorce file could cause problems for his campaign.[9] But after the documents were released, GOP officials including state GOP Chair Judy Baar Topinka said they felt Ryan had misleadingly indicated the divorce records would not be embarrassing.[10] That charge of dishonesty led to intensifying calls for Ryan's withdrawal, though Topinka said after the June 25 withdrawal that Ryan's "decision was a personal one" and that the state GOP had not pressured Ryan to drop out.[11] Ryan's campaign ended less than a week after the custody records were opened, and Ryan officially filed the documentation to withdraw on July 29, 2004. The same party leaders who called for Ryan's resignation controversially chose Alan Keyes as Ryan's replacement in the race; Keyes lost to Obama, 27% to 70%.

[edit] 2004 Senate campaign in retrospect

Subsequent to his withdrawal from the U.S. Senate race in Illinois, Jack Ryan has characterized what happened to him as a "new low for politics in America".[12] According to Ryan, it was unprecedented in American politics for a newspaper to sue for access to sealed custody documents. Ryan opposed unsealing the divorce records of Senator John Kerry during Kerry's race against George W. Bush in 2004, and Kerry's divorce records remained sealed. Ryan has made this request: "let me be the only person this has happened to. Don't ask for Ted Kennedy's. Don't ask for John McCain's. Don't ask for Joe Lieberman's. Just stop. This is not a good precedent for American society if you really want the best and brightest to run."

Hmmmm...

He sure is lucky, ain't he? This Obama guy?

Our young Knight in Shining (Teflon) Armor?

All around him the dirt flies, and nothing sticks to him at all.

Yet. (Rezko Rezko Rezko Rezko  Wright Wright Wright Wright Michelle Michelle Michelle Michelle Farrakhan Farrakhan Farrakhan Farrakhan...I can see the Fox News crawls now.)

So I repeat...are you willing to gamble your mortal ass that he is good enough, lucky enough and protected enough to win the Presidency without Clinton's active help and presence on the ticket?

I'm not.

Hmmmm....

Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie.-Mae West

Hillary is not staying in the campaign to push for her issues.  She is not attacking Obama based on the issues.  All she has left is to mimick the Republican attack on Obama: he's not experienced, he's a pussy that won't fight and will give in to the bad guys, he's a socialist, he hangs with scary black people, he is an elitist who drinks __  (fill in with elitist drink of day, O.J., wine, latte---not beer or shots of liquor).  Hillary is running a character based campaign that at this point that is indistinguishable from  GOP attacks; both are free of "issues" except vague assumptions about Obama's "character".  

Times change, Susan.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Now..."Hell hath no fury like a blogger pinned...?"

THERE'S one for the ages.

P.S. Cheer up.

I didn't "ruin" MLW.

It was always a soap opera.

i just helped to eliminate a couple of egregious villains from the mix.
