I did see that she won the Puerto Rico primary. She won't quit till she gets every super delegate huh?

It's doubtful she can get the number of superdelegates necessary. While not impossible, it is very improbable. I think even she can hear the fat lady singing now...

USA, if your Democrat candidate wins the election, it be either woman or african american.

A new day in history, for us all, out of Afghanistan and Iraq, forget about Korea and Cuba and lower your gas taxes, and let the markets get back online.

I'm British and by god we're feeling the effects of your freestyling attitudes towards money.

The fat lady will sing midweek, and then we'll see if she tries to get on the ticket.

Put down the Credit Cards! For all our sakes!

Kiss our big, fat American asses! For all our sakes!!

They weren't eliminated. They all get to go, their votes just count for half. Hillary Clinton will be awarded for a cheap political trick, leaving her name in an election she pledged she would not participate, so she would win by default, and include the state in the list of 'states I won'.

Yet what else could they do? If the rules committee hadn't compromised and found a way to seat the delegates, then the Hillary supporters would have yelled DISENFRANCHISEMENT all the way to November and beyond.

Hillary wants on the ticket. Look what it did for LBJ.

Thats what I expect from Americans - its a ripple effect on the rest of us.
USA would'nt like it if we started these problems. Why should we take it?
And no USA did'nt win WW2 all by itself!

No, it DIDN'T. But without our help, you Brits would now be complaining about the high cost of Deutschmarks.

Let us hope if she is the VP choice that she does not take office the same way LBJ did. From what I read, LBJ hated Kennedy. I don't think Hillary hates Obama in the same manner.



Some conveniently forget that we did not enter WWII until it was absolutely necessary, as a last possible resort. The war had been going on for years before the U.S. joined the allies.

Back then, we were operating with a smart president, who didn't treat war like it was his personal game of cowboys-n-indians like this idiot George Bush. I understand the resentment of America today, but we saved the entire world's ass from Japan and the Nazi's in WWII. If the Brits wanted to stay out of Afghanistan and Iraq, they should have elected someone else than Tony Blair, who continually let George Bush lead him by the ear.

That would be Obama's best insurance policy (against getting killed while in office). If somebody killed him, then Hillary would be president.

Then the next in line would be Nancy Pelosi. Talk about a trifecta.

Not necessarily because the new president would appoint a vice president.

Not to mention they would need to widen the entrance to the WHite House.

Why must American citizens back up their faults?

Dunno. Maybe it has something to do with them telling the King of England to go fuck himself 230 years ago.

According to the Presidential Succession Act the Speaker would succeed to the Presidency if both the President and Vice President were killed or if both the President elect and Vice President elect were killed. Yes, if the President, whether it's the former Vice-President or the Speaker, is without a Vice President, the President would nominate someone to become Vice President and it would be up to the Congress to confirm that person.

Not necessarily. It could go to the Convention in Denver this summer. Many Board members are too young to remember convention floor fights. They have happened in the past and they can happen again. Obama is not out of the woods yet and Hillary is not out of the nomination yet?

At least we have the guts to admit our mistakes instead of a) burying our heads in the sand or b) calling on other countries to do our fighting for us.

Self criticism is probably one of our great strengths.

With that comment, MMB achieved what he failed with the Bennett thread

Obama all but clinches Democratic nomination.

http://www.nypost.com/seven/06032008/new...c_no_113783.htm

Here's another article about it.

Obama

Associated Press reports Obama has clinched.

Who could have foreseen this! I wonder if she'll bow out tonight. Might she be puckering up for that VP position? Or do you all think, as I do, that her ego won't settle for 2nd place?

Well we'll find out when she has her news conference later in Manhattan tonight.

I think if I was Obama I would have offered her VP a long time ago as a one chance offer and pick someone else now that she has chosen to drag it out.

After Hillary's speech tonight, If I were Obama I'd tell her to go F*ck herself.
