Is it time for Obama to give it up after losing Nevada today?

[itsrobert]

With all the corporations and pundits behind him and big negative Hillary Clinton opinion ratings, Obama will not be able to beat Hillary in Nevada. Is it time for Obama to quit?

[rodeodance]

1. I do hope your John does well--has a good showing. We need him

[saltpoint]

2. For my part, I just don't know if I can put the piece together once Fred Thompson

drops out of the presidential race.

We're just a jibbering mess here at our house on the likelihood of a Thompson withdrawwal after a dismal showing in South Carolina.

Send money and flowers and green bean casserol, please, if you have an ounce of mercy in you!

[Tennessee Gal]

5. Take heart. Mika will be with Thompson tonight on MSNBC.

LOL!

[saltpoint]

7. LOL! We may be inconsolable, but if Mika's gonna be with ol' Fred... well...

LOL!

[frogcycle]

12. how will we be able to tell

the difference from scarborough?

From one leering rw asshole to another

must suck to be her

[Lucinda]

32. Fresh out of green beans here....but I promise, my chocolate truffles

can fix any broken heart.
Take heart, you'll always have Freddie in reruns!

[saltpoint]

36. LOL! Very true -- we'll have the reruns and maybe -- just maybe -- I'll order

a Fred Thompson bobblehead doll.

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. Indeed

:rofl:

I often wonder when somebody posts a really dumb OP whether they lean back in their chairs and smile like they just said something smart and meaningful.

[sam sarrha]

11. some do, but not all.. many are just imitating, but when they get comfortable with it i am sure they

will also gloat over their perceived accomplishments..

[cali]

6. Yes, of course. Obama should drop out

after today. Clinton has no corporate backing and the pundits never touted her as inevitable. Edwards is doing so spectacularly well. HIllary was never ahead by double digits. She hasn't domintated virtually all the polls in NV up until the last couple of weeks.

Black is white. Up is down. itsrobertian "logic" rules.

[itsrobert]

10. Obama is going to lose today

Take your Excedrin now, before the migraine sets in.

[skipos]

17. And Edwards is going to lose even more.

So what?

[GalleryGod]

Thanks for the prescription,but, excedrin is for wimps (lol)

[cali]

21. sorry, pumpkin, that's not exactly a revelation

to me. I already posted about it. And I won't be getting any headaches over it. Edwards is going to lose even bigger today. As always.

[sam sarrha]

13. it really looks like we should all just give up and hand it over to ReThugs

[MaineDem]

8. Sure, Obama and Clinton should drop out

That's my ideal scenario. :) But it ain't happenin'.

Three good candidates. Let's allow more states to vote before we declare a winner.

[usregimechange]

9. As long as Clinton gives up after she loses SC.

[Buzz Clik]

14. Absolutely. In fact, the entire Dem field should drop out and just give it to the GOP.

[greytdemocrat]

24. LOL!!!

I think Mr. Obama has a while to go yet.

[BeyondGeography]

15. Send him a note, see what he says

[itsrobert]

16. Yes, I'll put it on Exxon Letterhead.

That should grab his attention.

[BeyondGeography]

Hohoho...good one!

:thumbsup:

Don't you have a paintball game to get to today?

[CTLawGuy]

31. hey, I recognize the guy pictured in your sig!

that's the guy that cheerled us into war back in 2002!

[GalleryGod]

18. Yeah, Sure.

MORE like..."LOCK N LOAD !"

[The_Casual_Observer]

19. There is always a future for him as director of the Reagan Library

[GalleryGod]

20. I liked that one, Touche' !

[Tennessee Gal]

23. LOL!

:toast:

:rofl:

[Maven]

28. LOL.

[Tom Rinaldo]

22. Dumb topic. Same for similar threads about any of the candidates. n/t

[stillcool]

25. I think whoever wins..

should be crowned. Why even bother with elections? Nobody cares if their votes are counted anyway, so why not save all that money for pet projects of the US Congress? Does anyone actually give a damn about any of the following?

Tell Congress: Pass Emergency Bill for Secure Elections in 2008

Now is your best chance to to help make the 2008 Presidential election verifiable. Please ask your members of Congress to co-sponsor the "Emergency Assistance for Secure Elections Act of 2008”, Representative Rush Holt's bill to provide emergency funding for paper ballots voting systems and random hand counted audits of the November elections.

The Emergency Assistance for Secure Elections Act offers states or counties reimbursement for purchasing paper ballot systems in time for the November elections, and reimbursement for conducting random hand-counted audits of the November election results.

The bill would offer money only for the most reliable voting systems: those that use voter-marked paper ballots, with accessible ballot-marking devices to serve voters with disabilities. By offering crucial funding, Congress can empower state and county officials to do the right thing in time for November.

Rep. Holt's bill could not be more timely. As the Presidential primary season unfolds, 14 states will use paperless electronic system in their primaries, either as the statewide system, or as the system used in many counties.

It doesn't have to be this way in November. Urge your Representative to cosponsor the Confidence in Voting Act. Take action now: please send the letter below (or feel free to edit as you see fit). Thank you!

Take a look at the different voting systems used in your state by county
http://www.verifiedvoting.org/verifier/

Then take a look at these studies, and see how easy it is to alter a state-wide election by anyone who wants to do it.
