Hillary knows she has lost, but in Hillie-land, she has WON.
Edited on Thu May-29-08 05:07 AM by SoCalDem
She has made herself a martyr for "women's rights", "hardworking Americans..white American's rights", and has become an unwitting advocate for all the "undereducated" out there (the ones who thought she COULD deliver on a gas tax holiday:rofl: )

She has positioned herself in such a manner, that when she returns to the senate, and is roundly ignored, she will remind us all that "she did it all for democracy"...and of course for MICHIGAN and FLORIDAHHHH...but of course those mean ole boyzzzzz pushed her out of the race. (after she ran out of states and delegates-available)

She managed to suck all the oxygen out of Obama's spectacularly well run race, and forced him to waste MILLIONS of dollars, and untold amounts of energy..

She ran up double-digit millions in debt, and may never pay all the entrepreneurs along the way who were proud to do events for her, provide food & drink, flowers, transportation. The money she and Bill "lost" will be easily replaced, but for the people she stiffed along the way..not so much..

She managed to make this whole adventure about HER, and HER feelings and HER wants..

She poisoned the well, pissed in the pool (any number of metaphors would work here), and managed to lose handily, but still commands attention, and feels entitled to possibly force herself onto Obama's ticket...even though she brought up assassination of a campaigning candidate THREE TIMES..

When the super delegates finally make her walk the plank, she will go with a BIG flourish, and remind everyone about how electable she IS/WAS, and how more people voted for her (even though there is no valid way of counting..and popular vote has NEVER been a measurement for candidate selection in primaries...she will have whipped up the minions to a point that they will be crushed, and feel like she deserved it..:eyes:..and was deprived of the nomination unfairly (even though she really lost on March 4)

She has played the role of her life. Half see her as the heroine..the other half, the villain..

She has won.. She did George W Bush proud..She's as good a divider as he ever was.

4. The closer.....
Edited on Thu May-29-08 06:14 AM by quickesst
Obama gets to the nomination, the angrier Obama fans get. What's gonna happen if he actually gets it? I suggest avoiding cutting off an Obama supporter in traffic. It could get nasty, especially if you sport a Clinton bumper sticker. Thanks.

5. If you cut me off in traffic your candidate affiliation will do nothing
to save or doom you. I'm an equal opportunity practitioner of road rage.

15. Never saw "Snatch", I do plan to thanks for the reminder
They have "Lock, Stock and 3 smking barrels" on Netflix right now. My mind goes back to the movie "Fargo" when it comes to woodchippers with memories of the movie "Hannibal" as well. Let's face it all my thought processes are from movies. Entirely too much time on my hands.

Symbolic significance of oranges in The Godfather


Some film scholars and fans of the Godfather movies note what they believe is the symbolic significance of oranges in the films, suggesting that after the appearance of an orange in the film an important "death scene" follows

In the first film, Tom Hagen and Woltz negotiate Johnny's movie status at a dinner table with a plate of oranges on it, and Woltz soon discovers his horse's severed head;

Don Vito Corleone is buying oranges from a fruit seller when he is attacked;
Sonny drives past a billboard promoting Florida Oranges before he is attacked at the toll booth;

Michael is seen eating an orange while discussing his plans of revenge for his father's assassination attempt with Tom Hagen;

oranges are placed on the table at the meeting of the Mafia bosses (and specifically in front of those who will be assassinated at the film's climax); and

Don Vito Corleone dies while eating an orange, as he plays with his young grandson.
Tessio is also seen peeling an orange at Connie's wedding.
Carlo, who is responsible for Sonny's death, is wearing an orange suit when Sonny beats him up.

In Part II, Fanucci grabs an orange from a stand just before he is murdered by Vito in the hallway of his apartment building.
Johnny Ola brings Michael an orange from Miami and is later killed.

Michael is also seen eating an orange while in a meeting with Tom Hagen and Rocco Lampone, as they are planning the assassination of Hyman Roth, who is killed in the final scene.

In Part III, before they are murdered by assassins in a helicopter, an orange rolls off the table. Finally, as Michael Corleone dies at the end of part III, he drops an orange and it rolls away.

11. It's been all about her and 2012 since Wisconsin
She has 2 goals - 1) Make sure Obama loses and 2) position herself for 2012 by making her ridiculous "popular vote" argument, which she knows will not win her superdelegates but gives her an excuse to stay in the race to do additional harm to Obama.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in her family room when Obama wins the general election in November to see and hear her freak out. There probably will be seismic measurements in Chappaqua, NY that rival that of a major earthquake.

20. In Obamaland, it really doesn't matter what your candidate stands for.....
I mean, he's a bro...... that's all that matters. Isn't it? Well, isn't it? :sarcasm:

25. The personal is political
And if we don't want to hurt Hillary's feelings, we'd better let her destroy the Democratic chances for this election.

What's more important anyway, the mere future of the world, or Hillary's self esteem. You go Girl!
