1. And Grace is mighty thankful, too!

[BlooInBloo]

2. Whoa. That's *nassssty*!

:rofl:

[grace0418]

23. I am. I really am.

:)

[Warren DeMontague]

3. I'd like to see Chris Dodd recogized for his good work, particularly re: FISA.

If not as Veep or highly placed in the Obama administration, maybe Senate Majority Leader?

[Muttocracy]

32. I want Dodd for Majority Leader. And kudos to Dodd and Biden

for going back to the Senate and working their butts off for all of us!

[Douglas Carpenter]

4. thank you these people need credit for being REAL Democrats!

[Evergreen Emerald]

5. Now, if only Obama would...

We could go back to fighting the Republicans. Dang he should end this thing. Why doesn't he just drop out?

[cliffordu]

7. Cause the panderbear won't let him. She compels us all.....

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. funny thing about being ahead - you don't have to drop out. nt

[Evergreen Emerald]

10. funny thing about not being at the finish line yet...

the race isn't over. It is too early to drop out.

[baldguy]

12. Obama needs 6, Hillary needs 200

How does she win again?

[Evergreen Emerald]

14. He does not have the SDs locked up.

Remember they can change, and have gone back and forth.

I have never seen a person who is behind in a race just stop running. In fact if they did before crossing the finish line, they would be ridiculed.

The call for her to drop out is a political ploy by Obama. They want her to be minimized. They have called for her to drop out since February.

It surprises me that people fall for the political talking point, but, lots of things have surprised me this campaign season--especially the way "progressive" people exposed their hate.

[baldguy]

19. So, 194 delegates will just switch sides?

Which ones?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Change their mind ! How's that been going so far? Have

you seen the chart of his meteoric rise in SDs? Now what in the world would make that turn around?

You have never seen a person who is behing in a race stop???? What about all these men in my post?

Obama is not pulling a ploy to minimize her ! She is minimized because she can not win - but
refuses to accept reality. Kinda like you.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. He didn't start out with a huge SD lead, either.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. It's called inevitability. It will happen - he will come out ahead. That's

the point! You don't have to wait around for the inevitable. Most saw it on March 7th.
Bow out now, with a morsel of grace, or wait until every single person hates you.

[Evergreen Emerald]

17. "inevitability:" I remember when that was a reason to HATE a candidate.

What a bunch of hypocritical hooey.

Let the race end. Let them pass the finish line.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. The difference - Mathematical inevitability - quite different !

[WonderGrunion]

37. That's like refusing to leave your house

because the flood waters haven't engulfed it yet. Hillary needs to see that the waters are up to the gutters of her house and it's raining hard. No, she doesn't have to leave. She can stay and drown in the inevitable flood.

[SoxFan]

28. 4th quarter

53 seconds left on the clock

Obama has the ball on the 8 yard line

First and goal

Leading by three touchdowns

[GoesTo11]

33. HRC's path to victory

Lie down on the field pretending to be mortally wounded. They have an injury timeout. Have her fans riot in the stands, and throw stuff on the field. Get up, run over and give the line judge a huge wad of cash to look the other way. Smash the clock. Players and coaches hit by bottles thrown by her fans. The head referee stops the game and declares it over, with Hillary losing in a forfeit. Hillary appeals to the league president, who is an appointee of Bill. The president allows a committee of Clinton and Bush appointees to review the action and they say they can't tell what happened, and the game has to be replayed in its entirety. Obama can't believe this. Shows up to the game and sees that Bill is the referee and the new rules allow Hillary's team to have 22 players on the field at one time. Obama walks off in disgust, a forfeit is declared. Hillary wins!

[gcomeau]

35. Oh really?

Haven't seen you over here yet:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6162200&mesg_id=6162200

Why don't you swing over and provide an answer?

[Raine]

18. You forgot

the sarcasm smiley. :think:

[Cha]

6. I bet they didn't go around

lyin', pandering, smearin' and cryin' sexism to get people to vote for them, either.

[baldguy]

11. Lyin' 'bout get'n shot at, hoping the other guy gets assassinated...

[Cha]

24. Not too many more thresholds into hell she

can jump over.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

9. And thanks to for the ideas they raised

and hopes they inspired. Strength Through Peace.

[peace13]

13. Yea Dennis!

He is a great teacher. Hats off to all of them!

[Snarkoleptic]

16. Compare and contrast

Hillary C, June 3, 2008

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. love that !!

[Cha]

25. And Obama for the ages..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. hey you - those are great - here's some more:

[crickets]

29. Nice pictures. The last one is adorable. -nt

[Kixel]

36. Can that man take a bad picture?

Honestly, I am always amazed with how perfect his pictures look. There is something freakish about how photogenic he is.

Another added bonus-we get 8 years with an excellent leader who won't look like the current monkey in the White House.

[David Zephyr]

30. Thanks for the tribute to those who had class.

Thanks.

[WeDidIt]

31. You know you've got sick narcissistic tendencies

when Mike Gravel has more grace than you do.

[depakid]

34. Edwards hardly dropped out "with grace"

He was raising money until the very end from folks who really didn't have much to give and he did so inexplicably just before Super Tuesday.

Not to rag on Edwrs too much, because a lot of the Obama folks are so smitten that ANYONE who had the temerity (fortitude?) to challenge Obama until the end would be vilified. For one reason or another.

One of many reasons I never got onto that bandwagon.

[JVS]

38. some people just like campaigning more than others

[cboy4]

39. Ewwww. Awful avatar

:puke:

[ClassWarrior]

42. Richardson? Awful?? C'mon...

He's a great American. :patriot:

NGU.

[Barack_America]

43. Lol! Bill Richardson is teh EVIL!

:rofl:

Bill Richardson is a true Democrat. There's no need to slam him just because he didn't support your candidate of choice.

Grow up.

[DemVet]

40. "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." Vince Lombardi.

Truer words have never been spoken when it comes to competition.

41. Oh yeah, that reminds me, very important link:

[rucky]

44. That's fucked up. this isn't a sporting event.

But if you insist on making a sports metaphor out of it:

Would it make sense for Ray Nitschke to take-out Bart Starr in a scrimmage?
