Am I really seeing a bunch of threads popping up today asking for Obama to drop out?

[Pawel K]

What the hell are you people smoking? You do realize he still has a huge lead over Hillary? Or are those threads some kind of bad joke and I'm not getting the sarcasm?

In addition, I don't recall anyone calling for Hillary to drop out if she won Ohio and Texas. But there were plenty of calls for her to drop out if she lost both. So please explain to me, what the hell are you people talking about? This place is starting to look like an elementary school sandbox and not a serious political board.

1. Most of them seem to be quite math challenged

[Independent-Voter]

18. Math is Sexist!

[Eurobabe]

2. It's always been a sandbox. What makes you think otherwise?

[ginnyinWI]

sometimes I think it's a kitty litter box.

I've started going to other boards first when I get my computer time. Then I come here and see what the screamers have done with the Topic du Jour.

Yesterday when the Ignore function was turned off---whoo boy.

[Eurobabe]

29. Luckily I was skiing, then sleeping - missed all that shit

[Auntie Bush]

16. It's not a sandbox...It's a litter box.

Except when they say nice things about Clinton. :evilgrin:

[waiting for hope]

3. I believe it's called quid pro quo. eom

[Pawel K]

6. I could see how that would make sense if Obama was now behind

he is still far our a head.

[NMMNG]

11. ...

[SteppingRazor]

4. The most disturbing ones are the ones coming from Obama supporters.

Sweet Jesus, buck the fuck up!

[RiverStone]

14. Yea - Obama supporters in name only

Glad they are not on my football team - leading going into the 4th quarter and a few (just a few) want to quit?

:wtf:

[SteppingRazor]

19. Well, I wouldn't go that far.

Some of the posts I'm referencing have come from long-time Obama supporters who were absolute trench-fighters in GDP. I think they're more than Obama supporters in name only. It's just that they're depressed about last night's victories for Clinton when in reality, last night represented a few less chances for Hillary to catch up to Obama.

[RiverStone]

30. OK, lets call it seasonal affective disorder

I can't fathom any trench fighter giving up so easily???

Politics is a full contact sport.

And Obama is in the lead - he just needs to get more aggressive!

[high density]

5. Well you see these people are caught up in the Joe Scarborough thinking

The way they're acting, Clinton must have got 200 delegates last night and swapped places with Obama.

What the hell are they talking about? Who knows. Just build your ignore list with them.

[scheming daemons]

7. Because he's getting trounced in the dozen "states that matter".....

...his wins in the nearly 30 "states that don't matter" are meaningless.

Dontcha see?


Hillary is running to be "President of the Blue States of America".


Meanwhile.... Obama is running to be "President of ALL of America".

[Maddy McCall]

8. You must not have been here when the gazillion "Hillary must drop out..OH/TX...divide party" threads

were posted.

[Pawel K]

10. I wasn't

been out most of the weekend. But I still don't understand how this is relevent even if some not so smart Obama supporters wanted her to drop out before yesterday.

[Maddy McCall]

12. I think it's what they call "payback."

My opinion is that both should stay in. It's keeping the Democratic platform in the news...I'm hearing more and more Mississippians demanding health care...something I'd heretofore never thought I would hear.

I think they are both good candidates...although I favor Hillary...and I don't think anything has happened that should push either to drop out.

There has been a LOT of ugliness directed at Hillary Clinton here...lots of demands that she drop out "for the good of the party," so I think some Hillary supporters are just giving Obama supporters a little payback today.

[JackORoses]

21. they still apply. She is dividing the Party.

She will not prevail.
She is only serving to embitter her supporters against Obama.

Nice Party loyalty.

[Warren DeMontague]

9. "starting"?

Where you been, man? :rofl:

[Redstone]

13. Yes, you're seeing that. Some deluded people seem to thing that because they issue

a pompous, self-aggrandizing "demand" that one candidate or another "drop out now," it'll make a fucking bit of difference.

Which it won't.

I guess some people just like to hear themselves talk.

Redstone

[Maddy McCall]

17. It's payback to all of the Obama supporters who posted...

really ugly threads blaming Hillary Clinton for the destruction of the Democratic party if she didn't drop out.

Unfortunately, sometimes bitter nastiness gets paid back.

[Redstone]

20. Maddy, come on. This is ME you're talking to. I've seen it from both sides,

as have you. You know that.

Redstone

[redqueen]

22. Check this out.

[Redstone]

25. I saw it. But I am NOT about to take any sides here, because I've seen people on BOTH

sides acting like complete morons.

Redstone

[redqueen]

26. Well, that's my opinion, too... but according to others,

apparently we're either:

- delusional
- cocky assholes
- in denial
- not paying attention

*sigh*

[Maddy McCall]

24. I haven't seen anyone blame Obama for the destruction of the party.

I think both should stay in. Read my post above.

:hi:

[Redstone]

28. Of COURSE they should. The People haven't finished speaking. And I'm voting for whoever does

win the nomination, and anyone who says "If X wins the nomination, I'm not voting" doesn't belong here.

Just my opinion.

Redstone

[redqueen]

15. It's getting worse...

I didn't think it was possible, but alas.

[Az_lefty]

23. yes and it's just silly. He's still ahead and will be by much more in the coming week

[Kittycat]

27. Thank you!

I had to step away for a while today, all the pissing and moaning by Obama supporters - sky is falling bullsh*t. And the Clinton supporters ripping in that he needed to quit.

Good Lord people, he holds the most PLEDGED delegates, has won the mosts states - AND holds the popular vote. To top it all off, he has two more contests coming up (Sat & Tues) that he's strongly favored to win. You just can't spin those facts no matter how hard you try.

People need to get a grip!

[The Traveler]

31. Wishful thinking everywhere

Obama's lead is real but not huge. (Wishing here it were larger.) Clintonista people wish he would drop out, even though he has a measureable lead. Obamites tender similar wishes for the Clintonians, even though they remain within striking distance. Everybody wishes they could actually fall asleep during a John McCain speech ... he brings one so reliably to the brink of narcolepsy but cannot quite close the deal, so that one's eyelids definitely hang heavy but that annoying whistling voice prevents insomnia's complete cure.

And we all wish the party would not come divided out of the convention ... because another four years of Republican rule will almost certainly ruin this country beyond any reasonable expectation of repair in our life times. And can you image having to listen to McCain for all those years? The horror. The horror.

[Mezzo]

32. oh me oh my, you can dish, but you can't take.

Huge lead? HUGE? HA Ha ha ha ha ha ha. OMG, I nearly peed. Even if you count Tex repigs more than Michigan dems, Huge? That's a fucking hoot.

[Pawel K]

33. I think someone needs a chill pill

yes, it is a huge lead. Even though Hillary won 3 our of 5 contests on Tuesday she only gained what, 12 total delegates? With Obama up by 100 and about to pull out some more wins there is no way she can catch up at this point if this trend continues.
