Its mighty quiet in here today.

[smiley_glad_hands]

Is it the lull before the storm or has the worst of it already passed us?

Cheers to Obama for winning the nomination and to Clinton for running a very very tough campaign.

[SeaLyons]

1. I don't hear anything....is the fat lady singing???

I thought she had to sing BEFORE the cheers. Silly me.

[smiley_glad_hands]

3. It's been over for sometime now.

Let's not get into it, its time to move on.

[mcctatas]

7. Hillary is NOT fat....

:hide:

[smiley_glad_hands]

9. For her age Hilliary is very good looking.

Please don't call me an ageist now.

[grantcart]

8. Your sexist: turns out it is a fat GUY Rendell Doesn't Think Clinton Can Win

http://politicalwire.com/archives/2008/05/28/rendell_doesnt_think_clinton_can_win.html

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who supports Sen. Hillary Clinton for president, now says it's unlikely she'll win the nomination, ABC News reports.

Said Rendell: "I'm a realist, and I think most likely the superdelegates will give Sen. Obama the votes he needs. I don't think the DNC is going to fairly adjust what happened in Florida... I don't think they're going to fairly adjust it. So I think it's very unlikely that Senator Clinton can prevail. I think that means we're not going to field our strongest candidate."

[mamalone]

21. ewww......

I'm sorry, but that was my first thought while reading his words... "don't think the DNC is going to fairly adjust what happened in Florida".... "we're not going to field our strongest candidate." Way to draw the party together there mr. Ed:eyes:


sorry for the grumpiness... i'm having a wee bit of a bad day:(

[Occam Bandage]

12. She's warming up back stage. She'll come out and sing on Tuesday, possible Wednesday.

[TahitiNut]

15. That's not singing. It's whining.

:shrug:

[SeaLyons]

37. That's funny....

I have to admit it. :rofl:

[The Magistrate]

2. You, Sir, Are The Type Who Says 'Hey, He's Got A No-Hitter Going!' In The Top Of The Eighth....

[smiley_glad_hands]

5. LOL.

You know just as well as I do its over. No way she pulls this out.

[BlooInBloo]

6. I don't get it, but I'll lol anyway, just to look like I do...

:P

[smiley_glad_hands]

10. Great, we can all LOL together then.

[The Magistrate]

14. It Is A Species Of Jinx, Sir, In Baseball Lore

To say out loud a pitcher has retired every batter without giving up a hit is to ensure someone will tag the ball good before the aim ends, and ruin the achievement....

Speaking purely as a moderator here, I do hope the sense this forum is a bit calmer continues and solidifies in coming days.

[BlooInBloo]

17. ooooo - the *jinx* part is what I wasn't getting - thanks!

And to your hope: I was going to remark last night that I think gdp has gotten a lot better. The pockets of vitriol, while still vitriolic, seem to me to be smaller, and more agreement-filled-space in between those pockets.

Maybe it's just me.

[smiley_glad_hands]

19. I understood.

I hope I didn't jinx the presumptive nominee. I shall where my hat backwards all day now. I am personally making an effort for the better with my responses here at DU. Hopefully I haven't caused too much heartburn for the mods.

edited for grammar

[cliffordu]

20. Speaking strictly as a DU addict, I hope you're right.

[BlooInBloo]

4. I made a very nice ground beef stir fry last night with spicy peanut (butter) sauce....

Just sayin.

[smiley_glad_hands]

11. We had garlic parmesan pasta last night.

[BlooInBloo]

13. Oh very nice - chicken, or no? Alfredo sauce might be my fav...

especially when a little bleu crashes the parm party.

[smiley_glad_hands]

16. Nope, no chicken. I was lazy or couldn't take myself away from DU.

[BlooInBloo]

18. All good - you can't go wrong with garlic and cheese!

[Politics_Guy25]

22. Hillary and Chelsea Clinton are both very attractive-n/t

[smiley_glad_hands]

23. Chelsea is a hotty. eom

[cliffordu]

24. We had Pizza.......Really!!!!! The kind with real toppings and everything.

Papa Murphy's.

Pretty good, actually, but they look more like a massive pita sandwich by the time I get them home on the bicycle....

[TooBigaTent]

25. IMHO, the "quiet" is due to the attention being paid to McClelland. Thus, the Clinton and Obama

partisans do not have the stage all to themselves to attack their opponent.

For once, the attention is on the true enemy.

And it is nice, for a change.

[mamalone]

26. I think you nailed it. nt

[smiley_glad_hands]

27. Great analysis.

[BlooInBloo]

28. I know *I* for one can't get enough talk about Civil War generals

(snicker)

[smiley_glad_hands]

29. I live in a suburb of richmond.

If you drive down monument ave they have a series of statues of confed generals. Then at the end is a statue of Arthur Ashe the great african american tennis player.

[Bluenorthwest]

30. There is nothing to say here today...

Most of the postings I've seen have been about how we should let a Republican be veep and others hold high cabinate positions. I reject all of that, I'm a Democrat. If this board is going to promote Republican openly, I'm really not interested in playing. RFK Jr is trashed and Colin Powell and Chuck Hagel touted. What is to be said?

[smiley_glad_hands]

31. I would concur, Sir.

[BlooInBloo]

35. Oh NOOESS!!! Not TWO of you!!

[BlooInBloo]

32. I never understood the whole republican-advocacy thing out of DUers.

[Bluenorthwest]

38. Perhaps a blending of today's issues

And make Scotty the veep and have done with it. It is all about keeping the GOP in the White House I guess, so why not? Scotty, Hagel, even Cheney is available. Gannon? How about Duke Cunningham, he's looking. Vitter? Jeb? Hey why not. Democrats need not apply.

[smiley_glad_hands]

33. Had to go do some work out in the woods today.

I've pulled two ticks off me already. I'm going to have to scrub myself up in the shower before I pick my son up.

(that last statement could be construed as TMI)

[CaptJasHook]

34. Cheers to you.

:toast:

But it will heat up again as soon as Hillary announces that she will appeal the May 31st decision at the convention.

[DeschutesRiver]

36. The worst is over

and it will be completely nailed shut and over very soon. I don't read any of the pro Clinton posts (mostly) and turn off the tv on the few occasions that they do cover Hillary.

I wouldn't even be on today, except we've had some unseasonable rain and I'd rather not hike/bike in the rain (I do go out daily, but only in between showers). I am kind of on hold, waiting for next week when the last states are done, and then hope to be back more discussing real issues for the upcoming GE run.

Pretty excited about that upcoming process; but know it will go smoother and be more enjoyable once Ms. Clinton is prevailed upon to do the right thing, which is admit this is over. That gives her less than one week to get that together and still exit somewhat on her own terms. I don't really care anymore how she addresses her second place position; it is irrelevant if democrats really wish to take back the WH.
