Hillary is in deep trouble, apparently.

5. I'd say Obama is in deep shit
if his little people are ranting about this.

2. Idi-fucking-otic. They are AT WAR with each other. There will be plenty
of time for handshakes and cooperation when the primaries are over.

3. It's certainly the fastest. I've never seen a non-story like this flood so fast.
I have to admit that the Clinton supporters do seem rather eager to get as much out of this as they possibly can.

I guess they feel they need it pretty badly.

8. To be fair...
... there's a lot of Obama supporters that feel obliged to argue that Hillary somehow snubbed Obama. Both sides need to grow up.

7. Sadly, it wasn't fabricated
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 11:35 PM by Tarc
But judging by the veritable tidal wave of Obamaniacs' "IT ISN'T A STORY" topic posts, it would seem that they are the ones who feel their candidate is in deep trouble. For such an alleged non-event, they've sure spent an enormous amount of energy defending it.

Can't say I'd blame em; if my candidate was trailing in 20 of 22 Super Tuesday states, I may be a bit defensive too.

16. But they worked. Just like Obama's race baiting.
And didn't somebody tonight say that the Kennedys believe that if it's right, it works? And Obama is their dynastic heir so we must assume that is his belief? So race baiting was just right for Obama.

I'm not sure how not shaking your opponent's hand works, though. But I'm sure Obama's campaign will have an eloquent excuse by morning. People may even weep.

11. MSNBC showed the photo. AP published it.
You give DU too much power.

But you do seem to be afraid of it. Why are you afraid of it? That Obama himself may turn a transcendent victory into a sad defeat? That, in a winning moment when he could more than afford to be gracious, he was churlish? That in a losing moment, Hillary Clinton was a lady to the bone?

What do they say? A picture is worth a thousand words.

Can a picture be worth a thousand votes? What about a million?
