Faithful Clinton Supporter: What are the odds of Clinton becoming the nominee?

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

Me: not good.
FCS: not good as in 1 in 100?
Me: not good as in 1 in a million.
FCS: So what you're telling me is . . . there's still a chance! YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allusions are fun.
No, not illusions, Allusions, Allusions. O.k., this one was a bonus for all the movie nerds out there (What is a nerd? We are.).

O.K., I've got to stop.

2. Are you all done now?

4. "Ahhhm just gettin' started."

It's brilliant, being depressed; you can behave as badly as you like.

Please, stop me.

3. Her chances are about the same as my becoming a Mousketeer

Probably better.

5. The party needs to keep its options open

However they choose to make the process work, Dems need to have a "fallback" candidate. Never underestimate the GOP and their ability to destroy the Dem nominee.

The GOP has stayed out in the weeds, remaining silent during the primary except to say, as Mitch McConnell put it "the criticism of the Democratic nominee will be severe, very severe". They're obviously waiting to go "nuclear" on our candidate until its too late to change.

You know they're going to fight like crazy to keep control of the WH and will stop at nothing to get it done, regardless of what their base of supporters think of McCain. Personally, I think it will be one of the worst campaigns we've seen, making Kerry "swiftboating" and stolen votes look like a tea party.

And I don't need to remind you that the news media has the ability to transform any candidate from a frog into a prince overnight (McCain). The corporate bundled money that was pouring into coffers by the billions can be diverted to another campaign overnight. We've already seen it happen in the primary.

Many of our Dem leaders are guilty again of overconfidence and hubris, leading to complacency and bad judgement. Some are just cynical, focused only on raising money for their re-election and unconcerned if Dems lose the presidential race. But there seem to be a few Dem leaders who are keeping their skepticism and watching the campaign with a wary eye, as they need to be.

We need to keep our options open and be prepared for ANY scenario.

7. It is called congratulating Obama and saying she will now SUSPEND her campaign and back Obama

She can suspend her campaign and if her dream comes true and something bad happens to Obama she would be the next in line as the nominee. And in the mean time she can help bring the party together to beat McCain..

8. Yeah, Keep Your Pots & Pans In A Safe Place

:rofl:

9. Just when I thought a FCS couldn't get any dumber you go and post something like this . . .

and TOTALLY redeem yourself. :toast:

I'm still not quite too sure why she can't gracefully concede and still be there to rescue the party.

[jenmito]

10. And you think they have nothing on the Clintons?!

:rofl:

[damntexdem]

13. Oh, the Party has plenty of reputable fallback candidates.

None of them are Hillary.

[Peregrine Took]

6. I think he should offer it and she should turn it down and opt for the SC.

That way HRC can save face and Bill can run for the Senate to keep him busy.

[jenmito]

12. Didn't Howard Finemann say last night that that was the plan?

But then Mitchell and Russert shot that down.

11. If by nominee you mean "Night manager at an International House of Pancakes", VERY HIGH.

"Boysenberry, blueberry, or maple syrup?"

"I think the wife and I are going to go for the maple."

"Boysenberry it is!"

"Ma'am? I'm sorry. We would like the maple syrup with our pancakes."

"What do you know?! Maple!? HA! That's why you need someone like me- otherwise you'd never get anywhere in your pathetic lives!"

"Ma'am, we just want the maple syrup!"

"Harold! These sexist bastards want maple syrup!"

(Harold Ickes, wearing a chef hat, leans out of the kitchen) "Read the fine print on your menu, assholes!"
