Would The Last Person Leaving Hope, Arkansas…
Please Turn Out The Lights?
Please Turn Out The Lights?
Larry Kudlow has shut the book on the long national nightmare known as The Clintons.
Please allow me a dose of hardened market realism concerning Obama’s landslide victory in Wisconsin. The race is over. Hillary is finished. The Clinton Restoration is over. President Bill Clinton’s political invincibility is over. Hillary’s electability is over.
Obama got to the far Left faster than she did. He out organized her in the precincts. He out fundraised her. He out speechified her. He out-hustled her. He out-dressed her. He out-presidentialed her. He outdid her and he outbid her for votes, one promised government check at a time.
A 15-point margin in Wisconsin is incredible. Wisconsin is a lot like Ohio except for the wacko ultra-Left Madison college population, which is even worse that Columbus’s Ohio State. But there are so many campuses in Ohio that will go for Obama that it is no matter. Think faculty voters, grimly determined for a left-wing takeover of America ” from the bottom up” to use the former Saul Alinsky community organizer’s phrase. As goes Wisconsin, so goes Ohio.
The Intrade pay-to-play prediction market shows Obama with a 7.5-point gain tonight, giving him a 78 to 20 lead. That’s right, 78 to 20. Hillary has suddenly become an incredibly steep inverted yield curve, with a rapidly declining credit rating and a complete drying up of liquidity. She won’t be able to raise two wooden nickels, and not even Bill can raise enough money in Dubai to keep her out of bankruptcy.
As of tonight, the market has officially pulled the plug, terminating her campaign. The only thing left for her is to muster some grace, humility and character to begin the process of pulling out. To do otherwise will destroy the Democratic party and what’s left of the Clintons’ badly tarred and tattered reputation.
Stick a fork in Billary…. they are done.  And with it goes the last chance the Baby Boomers have of screwing up America from the Oval Office! Obama or McCain might still screw up royally, but we have successfully gotten past the “power years” of the Boomers.
Let us all sing Hallelujah and raise our arms to the Heavens. God has answered our prayers.

Yes, because Obama will be such a better president than her. She won’t, and shouldn’t, pull out will after March 4 and then the race wil be over. I don’t expect her to win both Texas and Ohio, I think she will probably only carry Ohio now. That is probably going to become a bigger If now with such a lost in Wisconsin.
I know you all hate her, villify her, probably would like nothing more than to throw her under a bus but I do believe she could get things done. I do like her, and had hope for a woman president.
I don’t even want to vote for either one of them, hopefully McCain will surge in Ohio and it won’t matter. Or Obama even, not like it matters to me personally now. I don’t have faith that Obama will be able to accomplish his agenda, and I don’t really care for McCain’s policies but he will be able to get things done.

How can Oblahblah keep his hot air balloon floating for eight more months? Somewhere, sometime, somehow he is going to slip and actually say something. And can the static electricity of his promise balloon continue to attract and hold lint for two-thirds of a year?

Just a moment please. It ain’t over until the fat superdelegate sings.

"Let us all sing Hallelujah and raise our arms to the Heavens. God has answered our prayers."
No if we get Obama in the White House instead of Hillary. Obama is a terrifying Marxist, surrounded by an emerging cult of personality. There are questions about his racialist Church and mentor, which means there are questions about his views on black racial supremacy. This guy is far more dangerous than Hillary ever was.

Not if they go with Gore at a brokered convention, it isn’t.

Bill, exactly. The train wreck (either way) isn’t over until it’s over.

Bruce, to think a short while ago it was Sen McCain in the pits of political despair, unpaid staffers and fleeing contributors… now to see Sen Clinton in that spot should remind all of us that this political season has more lives than an alley cat.
If the DNC seats the Michigan and Florida delegations without a caucus re-do, Senator Clinton’s reported demise would be as wishful as UofM basketball’s hope for a final four spot.
As long as there are sequestered monks and ChiComs with excess cash, fundraising will never be a problem for a Clinton. Never.
You may prove to be right in getting that fork ready to stick it to Billary… but this season is all about surprises.

Bottom line– she never did anything on her own, and she, in the end, is not likable.
Without Bill having been President, she’d still be on the Board at Walmart, investing in some land deals, a few cattle future contracts, etc–just another liberal boomer cashing in.
Without Bill having been Governor, she wouldn’t even have been that.
And tho the Democrats felt an obligation to defend his nonsense while he was "their" President, many have made it clear they don’t want his baggage back–and when he went out of control in South Carolina, he reminded them even more.
Stick a fork is right–as we saw with the TV pre-emption last night, the Clintons have met their match–they look ragged, tired and now more than a little pathetic. Good riddance.

#8 I would disagree with that and say it was Bill who needed her to get where he was. The very idea that he could get to where he was without her working behind the scenes, when you study their history, is pretty ridiculous.
I won’t disagree that she has been able to take advantage of being first lady with the connections and resouces that comes with being connected to Bill.
I know that during this election, she would have been better off without him. He just became a distraction to her and weakened her campaign.

I don’t have any delusions that it’s over. Hillary has too much invested in this and has too much info on too many people. She’ll do whatever it takes if it destroys the party and the country. Like Rush said the other day, if Humphrey can get the nomination without winning any primaires, she can and most likely will.
Further, I see a Ft. Marcy Park situation in Obama’s future, even if she doesn’t get anywhere.

Yes, because Obama will be such a better president than her.
I firmly believe a rock would be a better president than Orgasma.
but I do believe she could get things done.
Those "things" is mostly why we oppose her.
I do like her, and had hope for a woman president.
Would you support Condi, or is a "house slave" or "nigger" outside the realm of possibility for you? Would a Repbulican woman as president still be a woman president in your book?
I don’t have faith that Obama will be able to accomplish his agenda,
Maybe you can help. I can’t seem to discern what exactly his "agenda" is, other than "I’ve got what it takes to take what you’ve got". What, exactly does he stand for, other than vapid platitudes?

Hold off on the fork sticking for Hillary. The way this campaign season has been going, anything is possible. From seating the once-forbidden superdels from Michigan & Florida to a primary do-over (unheard of, but never underestimate the Clintons) to a wild brokered convention, Hillary will not give this up without a fight.
