Having a good strategy and winning by it is now considered "bad" and "unfair." And the loser's losing strategy is the better one. Wow.

12. It's the heart of the Clinton campaign strategy: If you can't win, change the rules...
Classically described by Nietzsche as "Jews", e.g., in the Genealogy Of Morals.

13. Also part of the Clinton campaign strategy: 50-year old gameplan
It's a campaign that was not retrofitted for the new world we are now living in, the new world post-Bush, post-9/11, post-Iraq debacle. People on BOTH sides are looking for change, and they see it in Obama. They don't and won't see it in McCain. Sure, there will be your standard hold-outs. Obama will lose his ass on senior citizens, but he has energized the electorate like no politician I've seen in my lifetime. He knew how to win this primary. He knew it would be an uphill battle against a fellow Democrat who was widely known and established. The race against McCain will be entirely different and in fact, I think it will be easier.

14. For a really, really long time Obama has thought he could be president BUT
Hillary thought she SHOULD be president for a really, really, really long time! So, her "should" beats his "could" and she has three "reallys" to his two so she has to be given the nomination or else it is super duper UNFAIR!!1!!!11!!
