How Hillary can still win the Democratic nomination

lol stephen..you're ruthless

Well played Garkle...well played.

Now I know she can do it!

As you all keep saying... rules are rules... Obama can't make the required delegate quota either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a standoff and that is why we are all ranting.

this is hilarious. i would've put the 'back to the future' theme song in the background at some point in the video.

How is it a standoff when one candidate has 140 more delegates than the other? I'll grant you that it's not over yet, but that doesn't mean it's tied. I'm not one of the people who is calling for Senator Clinton to get out of the race (yet)...but all this fuzzy math really hurts your case. And I am absolutely sure of one thing, if the situation were reversed, Clinton and her supporters would be screaming bloody murder for Obama to drop out for the good of the party.

I'd get working on the flux capacitor jj...you're going to need it.

I agree they probably would... I'm talking about the fact that the DMC requires that the candidate have a certain number (which escapes me at the moment) of delegates to get the nomination, and the fact that neither can acquire the required amount of delegates, hence, it's a standstill... And of course you know that I feel regardless of who caused/said/did what, the nomination is tilted without Michigan and Florida, but the rules are the rules, so no one should file out... It needs to just play out. What is a flux capacitor?

2025 is the magic number. And you're right...it has to play out a little longer. We shall see.

Absolutely funny, caught me by surprise. The voice sounds like an old educational movie or a news reel at the movie theater voice. Oh good grief no one knows what I'm talking about. I'm stuck in a time warp. Pay no attention, It was funny.

That is Funny! Hillary's campaign isn't just making history, Hillary's campaign is history! LOL Too funny.

Oh God yes, how could I have forgotten.... Good One!

And, if the Good Lord is willing, we shall see... Hahahee

Wouldn't it be easier just to go back to take out Obama's grandfather, so that he never would've existed in the first place?

That way and she'd be running against John Edwards and it would've been a lot easier right?

Love it!

send her home now before the party goes into a huge divide.

her defeat has seemed unavoidable for quite sometime.

spending all the money is a waste of resources and further weakens the party. why not send it to Darfur or research...we're talking 10's of millinons. right?

ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

totally

It seems we are trying to avoid a Democratic Party Convention. Why? What is the freekin convention for, if not for Dems to get together and decide who our candidate is going to be?

Why are we so afraid of having a functioning convention? Conventions that show people functioning as delegates never cost anyone an election. Being divided by wedge issues is what is kicking our ass!

I never knew there were so many control freeks, trying to make sure everything turns out right. It's going to turn out alright, unless we allow ourselves to be divided by wedge issues. We out number the bad guys. Unless we fail to stay united, we can't be defeated.

I can't imagine Hillary giving up before the convention. That is her right. It's like a dose of castor oil, we might not like it but we have to do it. This is a Democracy.

I'm from Italy and watchin' this from the outside.
Aren't you guys too much distracted by the Hillary vs. Obama match to lose the real point?
The real point is, if McCain wins we're all doomed.
Isn't it possible that people are getting so attached to Obama OR Hillary that they are going to vote McCain or are simply not voting when their hero (Obama OR Hillary) doesn't win?
What if racists + warlobbysts + corporations + rednecks sum up with Hillaryfans when she loses?
Medias are heating up too much the Hillary vs. Obama war, i'm always suspicious about what medias are doing ;-)

i wouldn't put it past hillary, she is probably spending campaign money to invent a time machine. she should of went back in time and divorced that lying, crooked husband of hers

No Marilyn, it's not democracy. It's super-democracy!! Hillary decided she wasn't going to let plain old regular democracy decide this thing a while back.

"Just the facts mam."

BILL AND TED

I've been saying for awhile that one of them needs to drop out. The longer they keep fighting with each other with what seems to be everything but policy issues, the more time people are going to have to say, "This is childish, I'm voting for McCain." And personally, I disagree with the polls and think that Obama would have a much easier time against McCain than Clinton would - but I guess that's just a personal opinion.

This video blog is a humerous and clever way to make Hilary look like a fool. It begins with the line, "You may have heard it is mathmatically impossible for Hilary Clinton to win the democratic nomination." This opening line states the facts for those who are unaware. The video proceeds to suggest several options Hilary can choose to help her with the democratic nomination. Those options include going back in time and canceling the Louisianna Purchase, and leading the Union army in a massive defeat in the Civil War. It then states, "Hilary's campaign isn't just making history, Hilary's campaign IS history!" The blog implies that the only way for Hilary to win the democratic nomination is for her to rewrite history! The point of the blog is so ironic considering the title, "How Hilary can still win the Democratic nomination." The title presents an effective way to lure Hilary fans in, and then the video bashes any hope for Hilary with the deomcrats.

Yep. You nailed it. That's exactly what it does.

lol that response was my final exam for my english 1102 class

She lost before the video. You can't make a person look foolish, they have to do that themselves.

OK... yes, it was funny.
We like to think that popular opinion is how political decisions are made (definition of democracy), but it is obvious that getting a majority of votes doesn't constitute a win in the American political system. Remember 2000? Of course you do.
Popular votes are just numbers on a page in the eyes of a politician UNTIL THOSE VOICES ARE HEARD by, like, superdelegates. Hint, hint...
BE HEARD! RANT! GET UP! MAKE SOME NOISE!
Thank you for your noise, stephenthomson!

wow

Unions Press Clinton on Outsourcing Of U.S. Jobs

By John Solomon and Matthew Mosk
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, September 8, 2007; A01

When Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton flew to New Delhi to meet with Indian business leaders in 2005, she offered a blunt assessment of the loss of American jobs across the Pacific. "There is no way to legislate against reality," she declared. "Outsourcing will continue. . . . We are not against all outsourcing; we are not in favor of putting up fences."

Two years later, as a Democratic presidential hopeful, Clinton struck a different tone when she told students in New Hampshire that she hated "seeing U.S. telemarketing jobs done in remote locations far, far from our shores."

The two speeches delivered continents apart highlight the delicate balance the senator from New York, a dedicated free-trader, is seeking to maintain as she courts two competing constituencies: wealthy Indian immigrants who have pledged to donate and raise as much as $5 million for her 2008 campaign and powerful American labor unions that are crucial to any Democratic primary victory.

Despite aggressive courtship by Democratic candidates, major unions such as the AFL-CIO, the Teamsters and the Service Employees International Union have withheld their endorsements as they scrutinize the candidates' records and solicit views on a variety of issues.

Hilary needs to step down before she destroys the Democratic ticket in the upcoming election!

Absolutely brilliant! Anyone on the Obama campaign or at CNN watching this? This is how you make a non negative fun campaign ad!

Teamsters Endorse Barack Obama
"Senator Obama will stand with the Teamsters when it comes to fighting for working families," General President Jim Hoffa said. The endorsement mobilizes the union's 1.4 million members and their families to elect the Illinois senator.
