NC & IN

Over half of the democratic party voted against your alleged 'nominee' and around 65% of non-blacks in North Carolina voted against your alleged 'nominee'.

...explain that...

 

OBAMMO ?

 

I don't take any special pleasure in kicking Clinton supporters when they're down today, but this was just too funny:

She's No Pansy

Senator Clinton Chews Off Own Leg
Vows To Keep Hopping Until Convention

Richieville News Service – Shepherdstown

As a crowd of supporters in this West Virginia town looked on in horror this morning, Senator Hillary Clinton, her pantsuit caught in the door of her SUV as she arrived for a rally, quickly turned around and bit off her own foot. She then proceeded to hop unaided to the podium in front of the local VFW hall, where she grasped the lectern and defiantly addressed the stunned gathering.

"That's the type of candidate I am, and that's the kind of president I'll be," she said, while Secret Service agents frantically tried to staunch the bleeding from her self-inflicted wound, "I won't let anything stand in my way, not even my own extremities!"

The throng of several hundred mainly white, mainly working class, mainly gun-toting, mainly beer-swilling women over 65 responded to this unprecedented show of grit with wild, almost ecstatic cheers. The candidate, clearly enjoying the outpouring of enthusiasm, added, "I told you I was a fighter. Well, I have news for you - I'm a biter , too!"

Although the moment was almost certainly unscripted and seemed to catch her staff off guard, by the next campaign stop they were already prepared with visual aids, distributing mannequin feet to the crowd for Ms. Clinton to autograph, much as she had signed boxing gloves at previous rallies. Her supporters had apparently heard of the incident and were clearly relishing it.

"That's what I love about Hillary," said Elmira Worthington, 72. "She knows how to take a punch – or a severed limb. She's suffered through so much abuse. That's why she'll make a great president."

In Washington, long-time Clinton advisor James Carville amended an earlier comment he had made about Mrs. Clinton's toughness. "When I implied she had three balls, I was clearly wrong," he said in his characteristic Cajun drawl. "She must have like a dozen. Now that's what I call a stump speech."

The senator renewed her fighting stance at every campaign stop in this state, the site of the next of six decisive Democratic primaries. At one point, while knocking back eight pints in a row at a local union hall, she seemed momentarily overcome with emotion. "It's so hard to be so tough," she said, with a slight tremor in her voice. She put down the shot glass in her hand in order to wipe away a tear. "All the boys gang up on me. That's why I have to obliterate them."

The largely white, largely conservative, largely blue-collar, largely latte-hating demographic which forms her base seemed to relish Clinton's increasingly aggressive, red-meat rhetoric. In nearby Clarksburg, Mary Janowicz waited patiently for the senator to arrive. She had brought along her two daughters, age 11 and nine, to catch a glimpse of someone who might possibly be the first woman president of the United States.

"I just wanted them to see this," she said, "because Hillary is such a great feminist role model. She's what I want them to grow up to be – a man with balls."

 

I love the implication that black votes count for less. affirmative action votes i guess. hey he wouldn't have won because of blacks so he's less of a nominee. tj, you've been warned about your baiting, you're walking a thin line

edit:honestly mods

you guys talked to sam about him constantly talking about hitler and the torch relay. texxx and tj continue to belittle the black vote. i haven't complained because its an issue but their constant harping on it is becoming tired and offensive

 

I could be wrong, but I think more Republicans have voted against McCain than have voted for him too - and the last half of this contest, he's been basically unopposed.

 

oh please, can you stop yanking the race card every time you feel pressured? I haven't belittled the black vote. A black vote counts just the same as anybody else's vote. When 90%+ of blacks vote for one candidate, it's going to generate discussion as to why.

 

so why do you keep bringing it up. when you say "he only won cause of the black vote", you're implying something negative. otherwise, you're the one who keeps bringing it up so you're playing the race card. see how that works

 

you're being hyper sensitive. take a deep breath and relax, friend.

 

When 85% percent of blacks don't vote for the GOP, do you think there should be a discussion as to why that is?

 

are they voting 90%+ for Hillary? yes or no

 

No, because Obama has appeal to more than just black voters.

 

Simply put, he doesn't have to work for the black vote. He's not campaigning for it, and they are almost unanimously voting for him. The votes that he actually has to WORK for are not coming to him. That's the non-black vote, which he is losing.

 

awesome. nice find

 

Hillary doesn't have to work for the white women vote. She's losing the non-"white-women" vote. So she's losing the votes she has to work for as well.

But at the end of the day, he's been able to get more of her constituency than she has of his (and she had the initial advantage in that her constituency was larger). And they've split the rest.

 

and 8 months ago he wasn't black enough?

 

Awesome. So as of March 5th, McCain had only gotten the vote of 42.5% of Republican voters. He'll have gained ground on that since, but won't have reached 50%. So less than half of Republicans have voted for McCain, despite being in a non-race for the last 2+ months.
