Beautiful Morning
As commenter over at election inspections says, “Thankfully, the McAuliffe, Ickes and Clinton days in the party are over.”
I would add that in the trash bin next to McAuliffe you can find the losing “50% plus 1: Electoral College” strategy which would have Obama begging 5% of Ohio Independents to vote for him rather than trying to run the be the President of the entire country.
Good riddance. The 50% plus 1” deal was some Bill Clinton smoke and mirrors electioneering that the DLC tried to build into a religion.
Now that Obama has a clear shot at McCain and we’ll see the “50 State Strategy” in action.
All I have to do is be patient with the irrelevant yammering of a few loud cry baby losers for a few weeks while they get over the fact Hillary Clinton (who was not fit to be President) ran a horrible race and lost fair and square.
Some, I guess, will never get over it – but that is their problem. Not mine.
Zzzzzzz.
The 50 + 1 strategy, like most DLC philosophy, comes from the Republicans, who must use it because they are numerically in the minority.
50+1 doesn’t give you much of a governing coalition, either and BushCo has been smacked in the face with in his second term. Unfortunately, we haven’t had a Congress willing to take advantage of that much.
We should be pretty clear too, that much of the result of the 50 state strategy ought to be seen in the many Congressional races that the repubs can’t quite rouse themselves for.
over?
you are whistling past the graveyard.
Next stop is the Credentials Committee in Denver.
(as announced by Ickes before the Rules Committee mtg was even over)
Next stop is the Credentials Committee in Denver.
Where even if HRC wins her case still won’t come up with enough delegates to clinch the deal. A fight at the Credentials Committee is surely her right, but she can’t get the nomination that way. She can get a few more delegates only. And while folks thought that the RBD was weighted towards HRC — Obama people definitively dominate the Credentials committee. Just sayin’.
