Re: Worst diary? No. And great bumper (none / 0)

What ever will you do on Tuesday when Obama announces, with a confetti party in Illinois, that he has WON and is the Nominee?
It will be THE headline of the evening. How will hillary be able to stunt that huge blow?

Wow - so just fuck the voters, right?

Uh, no.  They still get to vote, in those states and territories that haven't yet.

But it won't change the outcome.

Re: Obama is crowning himself? (1.50 / 2)

When Baghdad Barry announces that he's won, I will do what I did when Baghdad Bob did the same.

i will simply point to the Hillary tanks rolling across the tarmac in the background and laugh my ass off.


Until recently I was selling drugs, and now I'm selling Obama T-shirts.

Re: Obama is crowning himself? (none / 0)

Uh, yeah, that's apt.

Have you actually seen the delegate count recently?

Re: Obama is crowning himself? (1.00 / 1)

Yes, and its still mathematically impossible for Obama to reach the required delegate count.

We're taking this one to the floor of the convention.  Get used to the idea.

Re: Obama is crowning himself? (2.00 / 2)

Nope... just the ones that call themselves Democrats but have Nobama bumper stickers on their cars...


McCain/Palin... even scarier than Bush/Cheney... and that's saying something!

The people "crown" Obama (none / 0)

On April 8th of 1992 a full two months before he would secure enough delegates to claim the nomination Bill's staff was calling him the presumptive nominee:

[Apr 8, 1992] Clinton's showing yesterday convinced many Democrats that, even with the depth of concern about his character and his ability to win in November within his own party, his nomination is now all but assured. "Bill Clinton is the presumptive nominee," declared Mark Mellman

As to the states that are being "ignored"... these are the states that didn't even matter in 1992:
April 28: Pennsylvania
May 5: DC, Indiana, North Carolina
May 12: Nebraska, West Virginia
May 19: Oregon, Washington [primary]
May 26: Arkansas, Idaho [primary], Kentucky
June 2: Alabama, California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio
June 9: North Dakota

So WJC held a party and put a crown on (none / 0)

his own head?

I mean, "presumptive" has been thrown around for months now.  But you're talking about BO actually telling everyone that he's the man (and no, he isn't!).
