		<description>[...] Given the margin of her victory, I&#8217;d care a lot if I were a Democrat. It&#8217;s not just that she won the Mountain State by forty points (or 144,000 votes), she&#8217;s also favored to win Kenucky next week, the most populous state which has yet to vote. A victory there could narrow the popular vote lead he currently enjoys, possibly even push her ahead if Florida is factored in, creating what I termed &#8220;The Democrats&#8217; &#8216;Nightmare&#8217; Popular Vote Scenario.&#8221; [...]</description>

		<description>I think it's heartening that Air Force Trojan feels a little better knowing that while his son may be gay, at least it doesn't mean he &lt;i&gt;has&lt;/i&gt; to be a liberal.</description>

		<description>Air Force Trojan, thanks for coming by.

Four years ago, I was on several levels convinced that there were no other gay conservatives out there. GayPatriot has been a welcome community for me and an opportunity to show the rest of the world that, yes, Virginia, there ARE gay people whose  sexual orientation doesn't turn them into liberal antimilitary moonbats.

I hope your son visits -- and you, of course, are more than welcome here.</description>

		<description>#33:  Good luck wth your son.

If he isn't filled with resentment from real or imagined childhood angst, and if he is a rational person.. then I suspect you won't notice much different about him.

However, if you think he's harboring some victimization angst or if he thinks the United States is no better than Iran, then I would say you might want to talk very honestly with him about his inner-most feelings.</description>

		<description>My bet is that "Neil Ferguson" in #24 is the British exemplar of hoof-an-mouth disease. His syntax, near Spoonerisms, and quaint use of the royal "we" all point to a fop out of oxygen. The invitation to seek him out so that we might attend to him is characteristic of a shy and shallow persona which becomes engorged with ego boosting bravado when masked by anonymity.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Obama got hammered in FLA because Hispanics can’t stand him.&lt;/i&gt;

One of these days, the Democrat Party is going to realize that if most Hispanics wanted Democrat socialist and leftist economic theory-based governments that blamed the rich and business for all of society's problems, they would have stayed in the countries they left.

But then again, when you're in denial about what leftist and socialist economic theories do to a country, you can see why they would miss that.</description>

		<description>Obama got hammered in FLA because Hispanics can't stand him. For whatever reason. In November, Arizonian McCain could win a bigger share of Hispanics than W did and that's a major story. 
I'm still saying who ever loses their bid for the Democrat nomination, their followers are going to be mad as hell and they will go ballistic. Democrats don't lose and just shrug and go on with their lives. If they lose, it is someones fault. Bush, the white folk, Bill C, the man, Nader,the media, DIEBOL, the Supremes, anyone but the candidate. So prepare yourselves for lots of constant whining from the vanquished Clinton or Obama trolls.</description>

		<description>I don't see what is evil or selfish bout pointing out that you are the popular vote leader, that just a good campaign tactic. It gives her donors hope and continues to get her money, she keeps her supporters with her and keeps her primary chances alive. The Dems primary system is stupid and broken, just do winner take all and be done with it. 

FL will most likely be counted as is, there is just no reason not too. They all were on the ballot, no one campaigned there either. Obama was riding his South Carolina win and his big, useless, Kennedy endorsement was all over the news. He still lost, FL dems just didn't care for him. 

MI is going to be a terrible to deal with, I would say just send the delegation and let them vote how they choose. Obama and Clinton will do their best to win over the largest amount of them. 

The fact of the matter is, she will fight for this because she, like a lot of us, don't believe Obama can win. Everyone talks about her thinking more about the party than herself, well...some of us believe she is trying to save the party from itself.</description>

		<description>Hillary's argument to superdelegates is that the popular vote is somehow indicative of the Electoral College votes she would win in November.

But she expects to roll up popular votes in a Dem contest in Puerto Rico, a territory with NO electoral votes in the fall.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. If the rules are to be broken to count the popular votes in disqualified contests in FL an MI, because they represent EVs that the Dems can't afford to write off, what's your rationale for counting popular votes that represent no EVs?</description>

		<description>Doctor Dean is ordering that the hemorrhaging be stopped "sorta" STAT. He wants June 15 to be the day when the nomination is clearly decided and the spirit of Rodney King ("can't we all just get along") be invoked.

Just what plan Doctor Dean has for avoiding a Fort Marcy Park epiphany, is not known to me. When it comes to Hillary Clinton, I do not think that Doctor Dean understands the sophistication required when you set out to shove 20 feet of red hot chain up the ass of a wild cat that has a toothache and hot flashes.

I wonder if the Democrats will decide not to televise the &lt;strike&gt;riots&lt;/strike&gt;convention?</description>

		<description>The time has come to seriously consider the concept of co-president for Mrs. Clinton.  The duties of the Vice-President are not detailed in the constitution.  It's perfectly reasonable and legal that Mrs. Clinton and Senator-elect Obama could both run for president, one focusing on International issues, one on Domestic issues.  This is the only way to save the party at this point.  The whole is stronger than the two parts.</description>

		<description>Arriving here from the happy environs of Instapundit, we are displeased at the impertinence of the author of this very modest place.  The person misconstrues our kind condescension in choosing to tarry here as an invitation to familiarity.  What could possibly be more cringeffective than such "incursions insinuantes?

If we were dealing with a person who was sensitive to the appropriate tone and the social realities, we might deign a glance of appraisal - might advise on the less than perfectly harmonious interplay of colors, the faulty juxtapositions of narrative mood.  After all, one of the obligations placed upon our selves is the cultural improvement of our lessers.  But one is disinclined to cast pearls before upstarts.  No, indeed, we withdraw.

There are places where the elevated patronage of vaunted habitues of Instapundit is sufficiently recognized and observed.  At such a place you may attend me.</description>

		<description>What is interesting to me about the Democrat debacle is how it parallels the liberal philosopy. No standards, no rules, no regulations. That leads to chaos. Liberalism in a society leads to chaos. Liberalism in the Democrat primary season leads to such funny entertainment. This Party is making up the rules of the game as they go along. Kind of like Florida 2000. How perfect!</description>

		<description>Where is the media with their 2006-like "Culture of Scandal" with all these Democrats who are finding themselves in trouble..

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/04/another_dem_governor_may_lose.html

Another Dem governor may lose his job
Ed Waage

Illinois Democrat Governor Rod Blagojevich is facing impeachment talk from within his own party in the wake of the plea agreement of Rezko pal Ali Ata. The Chicago Sun-Times reports
The impeachment drumbeat at the Statehouse grew louder Wednesday, a day after the blockbuster accusation by a former state official that he got his state job after pouring money into Gov. Blagojevich's campaign fund -- including a $25,000 check in an envelope he presented to the governor.


Two House Democrats said discussions on a possible impeachment resolution targeting Blagojevich accelerated after Tuesday's disclosure by Ali Ata, whom the governor appointed to a $127,000-a-year post running the Illinois Finance Authority.
Only a month ago, Democrat Eliot Spitzer resigned as Governor of New York when a Federal investigation into possible money laundering led to Spitzer's involvement with a prostitute. Spitzer resigned after he checked with leaders in the New York legislature who informed him that impeachment would be forthcoming if he failed to resign. Blagojevich may find himself in the same situation as his own party is starting to revolt against him.


Blagojevich does have a strong supporter in Illinois Senate President Emil Jones. It was Jones who thwarted an effort recently by the Illinois House to put a constitutional amendment on the November ballot to allow a recall of key elective officers by the voters (currently, only the legislature can remove a Governor). The Blagojevich administration has helped Jones' wife, Lorrie Rickman Jones, secure a plum job in the Illinois Department of Public Health two months before Jones married her and a $70,000 raise after he married her. It was also Jones, a Democrat, who helped Obama in his rise to power in the Illinois Senate and thence to the US Senate

<p>Another Dem governor may lose his job<br />
Ed Waage</p>
<p>Illinois Democrat Governor Rod Blagojevich is facing impeachment talk from within his own party in the wake of the plea agreement of Rezko pal Ali Ata. The Chicago Sun-Times reports<br />
The impeachment drumbeat at the Statehouse grew louder Wednesday, a day after the blockbuster accusation by a former state official that he got his state job after pouring money into Gov. Blagojevich&#8217;s campaign fund &#8212; including a $25,000 check in an envelope he presented to the governor.</p>
<p>Two House Democrats said discussions on a possible impeachment resolution targeting Blagojevich accelerated after Tuesday&#8217;s disclosure by Ali Ata, whom the governor appointed to a $127,000-a-year post running the Illinois Finance Authority.<br />
Only a month ago, Democrat Eliot Spitzer resigned as Governor of New York when a Federal investigation into possible money laundering led to Spitzer&#8217;s involvement with a prostitute. Spitzer resigned after he checked with leaders in the New York legislature who informed him that impeachment would be forthcoming if he failed to resign. Blagojevich may find himself in the same situation as his own party is starting to revolt against him.</p>

		<description>Well, I am a Michigander and a Detroit resident, and in our primary I voted for the candidate I genuinely want to be elected in November--and despite being a lifelong Democrat and former party activist, it was John McCain.

I'm a one-issue voter this year and I would not feel at all safe or confident in either Clinton or Obama, much less their advisors, having charge of national security and defense.</description>
