3. What will make that day any different than today?
Everyday 10,000 threads bashing Obama, of course there's plenty bashing Hillary too.

4. Oh, it'll keep going.
I honor and respect Hillary's decision to become a Republican, but she really needs to switch primaries.

Once that happens, she'll keep slamming.

5. The political tension then escalates to the street gang phase, in which
roving bands of factional DUers prowl neighborhoods at night to visit murderous judgment upon those with whom they disagree.

There are remnant Gephardt thugs still at large in some major cities left over from the 04 vitriol.

7. There will be a huge smacking sound
created by the vacuum, as posters leave GD-P to slither back under their rocks, regular DUers wake up dazed, look around, wondering if it was all but a bad dream.

8. Honestly, i think a large majority of Hillary supporters will come around...
because they will finally have time to look at Barack for who he is and realize he is quite the exemplery President to be.

9. Yes, for one week.
And then, the booming sound of the ban hammer will come crashing down on those who chooce to continue their disruptions.

11. For Obama to shut this down he needs to win Pennsylvania. That doesn't seem likely
after Pennsylvania there will likely be a redo of Michigan and Florida around June 3 or June 10. By then we will have had elections in NC, IN, MT, SD, WV, KY and OR. Also Guam and Puerto Rico. So this time every state will get to go. When all the votes are in we will be able to look at the results and figure out who won the popular vote and who won the electoral college map. If Hillary hasn't won either then she'll be out. I suspect that she will win both, along with the elected delegate count (not including caucus). At that point I am thinking that Barak will have a lead amongst pledged delegates by about 50 and Hillary will make it clear to one and all that the lead only exists do to his dominance of the caucuses. And caucuses are not elections.

Steve

28. It can have an effect
In that it forces candidates to campaign in states they otherwise would not touch at all. What that effect will be is uncertain, but it's bound to do something.

13. Yes absolutely
Once you slip to the dark side by becoming a sycophant to a wicked and vengeful candidate it will be too hard to return to those values democrats pride them selves on.

17. We will be swamped with threads explaining why we cannot possibly win.
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 05:36 AM by Perry Logan
For some reason, we liberals love to predict disaster for ourselves.

18. Nope - Skinner will give everyone 1 week to cool off and then
there will be many tombstones. He has been very clear about that no matter who wins the nomination.

19. what's this "Once Hilary drops out" bullshit
She's not dropping out and for many of us, she's going to win. This poll should drop out.

20. No
Because they will be banned.

p2B - I don't think this spasm of self-pity reflects well on your candidate.

25. No. Once Hillary drops out, there won't be any pretense for the freepers to nail Obama.
Through process of attrition they will be weeded out.

30. Hillary has created this climate

Hillary has created this climate of Democrat vs. Democrat in a death struggle. I blame her. If her echo-bots are deflated by her leaving the discussion, I think things will become better.

Look all the actual "liberal media" are now breaking for Obama after her "McCain has more experience" speeches. It's over for her. She just doesn't know it yet. The sooner she leaves, the better off we'll all be.
