President Barack Obama.

4. Obama/Kaine eom

6. Considering Clark has been clost to Clinton

This is a good way to save face for Clinton. There is no way in hell that Obama puts Clinton on the ticket. Russert has that one right. This campaign is all about America turning the page. Clark doesn't hurt that message at all. This type of a ticket could play out as Obama and Clinton got together and Hillary recommended Gen. Clark.

2. What is it about this guy that makes you want to smash his face in with a baseball bat..whoops

Somebody already did that. He really thinks he's something special. He's got all the time in the world to prevent anyone from playing gotcha with him and his media darling image spewing the WH message and right wing bullshit. These media darlings just keep shining each other's egos to convince us of their greatness. Pus faced maggot.

3. "..can't believe it's over so quickly"...???

Good grief, where has Russert been keeping his brains? This has been the most prolonged, agonizing Death Watch since they pulled Terri Schiavo's life support. You know the woman's campaign is doomed, and just want it to end before it gets any uglier or more painful.

5. The media wants to see a fight at the convention...

That's why that POS Timmy "can't believe it's over".

7. MSNBC

Last night while watching MSNBC they put out some stats regarding the "Rush effect". Here was their conclusion based on polling but I don't have the exact figures. They went something like those republicans that crossed over to vote democratic went 56% for Hillary and the rest for Obama. My contention is what would be the exact figures of the difference had they not been allowed to cast ballots.(closed election) Considering how close this primary is in IND, is it enough to have made the winner Hillary instead of Obama or even made it a tie. MSNBC's contention is that the Limbaugh effect was negligible but I somehow don't agree. I think it is about time to hammer home the point to the delegates and especially the superdelegates that crossover voting from the opposing party should never have been allowed and the fact that it has impacted the front runner to a substantial degree.To allow Hillary the nomination is allowing republicans to choose are nominee and it lets republicans choose who they want to fight in November.

8. good analysis

9. The Limpballs' effect doesn't matter...

Those voters are really Republicans anyway, and I know that the SD's know this. As for those Republicans who genuinely support Obama, a larger percentage will stay with Obama and that bodes well for the Dems. The SD's know this, too!

However, I do think that Limpballs had an impact because those voters would have made the difference between an Obama loss and a Hillary win. Even Tweety mentioned last night that there should be an asterisk beside Hillary's total that signifies how Limpballs sullied the democratic process. To witnessed Tweety's outrage was riveting! He seemed angry at the Limpballs voters last night for trying to create discord among the Dems. He said that Obama is essentially the nominee so Rush has failed.

10. Tweety's "outrage" is, to be overly polite, disingenuous.

Chris Matthews is a very willing participant in the MEDIA's efforts to sully the democratic process. Rush is now, and has always been, a loudly underinformed asshole; he appeals to those who use him to indulge fantasies rooted in their own closeted megalomania. Limbaugh owes his career to the rightwing ownership of the mainstream media, whose exhaust fumes he floats on. Rush is emblematic of the consequences of failure on the part of mainstream media. Limbaugh wouldn't even exist were it not for corporate corruption of the idea of a free and unfettered press. Matthews makes it a habit to splutter in outrage over anything that discomfits his employers, helping those masters to piddle on their own effluence. And that shouldn't fool any of us.
