Well, it looks like it’s the end of the road for Hillary. Time for her to pack up her pantsuits and go back to … wherever it is she’s pretending to be living these days. Now we just have to get rid of the other two. Perhaps if (fill in the blank) endorses Obama…

This week, Bill Clinton lost his second presidential election for a protege.

Ronald Reagan was so popular, he not only won a 49-state landslide re-election for himself, but he also won a symbolic third term for his boob of a vice president, George Herbert Walker Bush (who immediately blew it by breaking his own “no new taxes” pledge).

By contrast, in addition to not being able to get half the country to vote for him in two tries, Clinton’s connection to any other presidential candidate spells utter doom. Both his vice president and his wife have been defeated in elections they should have won, but lost because of their unfortunate association with him. The country has spoken. It wants to be rid of the Clintons.

The reason two elections in recent history — the 2000 presidential election and the 2008 Democratic primary — were razor-close is that in both cases there was some strange, foreboding, otherworldly force dragging down the presumptive winner.

Clinton’s vice president, Al Gore, lost an election that should have been his in a walk. In fact, he was the first incumbent president or vice president in 100 years to lose an election in peacetime with a good economy. Mind you, that was before we even knew that Gore was a deranged conspiracy theorist who believes the Earth is in serious peril from cow flatulence.

What was the mystery factor to explain such a historic loss?

The media’s pollsters may have lied to the public about Clinton’s vaunted popularity, but Gore’s pollsters got paid not to lie to him. And they told Gore the truth: Clinton was killing him.

After the election, Gore pollster — and erstwhile Clinton pollster — Stanley Greenberg told Vanity Fair magazine that if Clinton had helped, he said he would have “had Bill Clinton carry Al Gore around on his back.” (This was when one man could still actually carry Al Gore on his back.) But research showed that whenever Clinton was mentioned, Gore’s numbers went down faster than — oh, never mind.

Steve Rosenthal, political director of the AFL-CIO, also blamed Clinton for Gore’s loss, saying polls showed that voters who cared about character voted for Bush. (I know, I know. Are there actually people who care about character and vote Democrat? Yes, apparently they exist.)

Poor Gore did everything he could to distance himself from Clinton, publicly criticizing Clinton’s sexual exploits with an intern, refusing to allow Clinton to campaign with him and taking as his vice president Joe Lieberman — the first Democratic senator to scathingly denounce Clinton’s antics with Lewinsky from the Senate floor.

But voters couldn’t forget Gore’s boss, the purple-faced lecher.

As election predictors go, the Dow Jones has been remarkably accurate. If the Dow goes up from the end of July to the end of October, the incumbent president or vice president wins; if it goes down, the incumbent loses. It has been wrong only four times since the Dow was created in 1896.

Thus, on Nov. 1, 2000, an article in The New York Times began: “The verdict of the Dow Jones industrial average is in, and it says Al Gore is headed for the White House.”

And yet Gore lost. It was only the third time in more than a century that the Dow went up in the three months before the election and the incumbent lost. The two other times were: (1) Herbert Hoover in the middle of the Great Depression, and (2) Hubert Humphrey in the middle of the Vietnam War. (The only time the Dow went down and the incumbent won anyway was for popular Dwight Eisenhower.)

So we have documented proof: Americans rank Bill Clinton with national misfortunes on the order of the Great Depression and the Vietnam War. (This, of course, is an overreaction: The Great Depression wasn’t that bad.)

And now Bill Clinton has wrecked Hillary’s campaign, too. He’s like the creepy guy who graduated last year but still hangs around the high school cafeteria chatting up sophomores.

In a Time magazine poll taken earlier this year, more than twice as many voters said Bill Clinton’s involvement in Hillary’s campaign made them less likely to vote for her as said they were more likely to vote for her. (Some even said that “having Bill Clinton around makes me less likely to vote for What’s-Her-Name.” One-third of the respondents were upset Bill didn’t call the next day, like he promised.)

So before remembering that we are now left with two dangerous choices for president — a young liberal who is friendly with terrorists or an old liberal who is friendly with Teddy Kennedy — take a moment to revel in the fact that our long national nightmare is over. It turns out getting rid of the Clintons was the change we’ve been waiting for.

The exit poles from the West Virginia primaries said a mouthful.  The Clintons knew this would happen which is why she repeated the stats from the AP report.  There are many white people who simply will not vote for Obama because he is black.  These people will vote for McCain before they would vote for Obama. 

On the flip side, there are black people who have been so turned off by the Clintons tatics in this campaign baiting white people on race, that they are saying that they will not vote for Hillary if she wins the Democratic nomination.

So where does this leave Democrats?

Dr. Ron Walters from the University of Maryland made an interesting point.  Obama has to convince 70% of white America that he is not one of “us” and that they (white People) can trust him.  What does this say about America in 2008?  That race still trumps politics. 

The Clinton plan is obvious; to chip away Obama’a white voters and to reassure those blue collar white voters by playing the racial ignorance card.

Obama’s plan is still the same; he is being race neutral and appealing to all Americans with change.

If this race is over, then why are there still super-delegates uncommitted?  They are uncommitted because it is not over yet folks.  Hillary Clinton is using the GOP playbook to tear down Obama.  She is hoping that in the next few months that Obama will make a mistake that she can take advantage off.  and she is willing to wear down the the Democratic Party to do this. 

This is a battle for power.  Power of the free world; and the idea that a person of color could be this close from the White House scares a lot of people in Main Stream America.

Here is the question.  What is the plan?  Obama has a plan and so does Clinton.  But what is the plan of their supporters; especially Obama supporters? 

Since I am an Obama supporter, I say keep supporting Obama, but:

• Let your Senators and Representatives know how you feel and hold them accountable.
• Don’t forget about the U.S. Congressional and local Races that are also at stake; fight to keep both houses in Democratic control; remember that all politics are local.  And you need at least 60 votes to do anything in the Senate no matter who the President is.
• The same drive that new and young voters are having must be transferred over to local and state elections as well; you can not give up if Obama does not gain the nomination; the enemy wants you to become disenchanted with politics so that you won’t vote.

According to a recent CNN exit poll, it’s uneducated, old women. Harsh as that statement may seem, I’ve got the data to back it up, thanks to West Virginia. 

What I found interesting was that the majority of voters were fairly uneducated. Only 30% of voters had graduated college (including those with a higher degree). The majority of Clinton’s votes came from those who only graduated high school. What’s interesting, is that the table provided shows the breakdown for each group, and the more degrees obtained by a certain individual, the more likely they seemed to vote for Obama. 

Further breakdown, after the jump. (more…)

10. CHRIS MATTHEWS
Reason: Disrespects women on air, is mentally retarded at times, loses his cool on air ever since the Kool-Aid kicked in.

09. KEITH OLBERMANN
Reason: He was fired for Sports Reporting, nuff’ said. This man is annoying and getting pretty fat and lazy lately on his journalism. Enough with the angry poems, we get it already, move on to the highlights.

08. NANCY PELOSI
Reason: Does not want another woman to be more powerful than her or have a better outfit is our guess.

07. ANDERSON COOPER
Reason: He thinks he is a bona fide reporter, when all he is, is a reality TV show host masking as a politics talk show host. His biased for Obama is sickening, We are waiting for him to tell us that Obama is The Mole.

06. OBAMA’S PLEDGED SUPERDELEGATES
Reason: They took payola in some form or another and they tell Americans, “Barack is the best choice” a day after Obama is hit with scandals, I mean, C’MON I guess when you accept bribes from Obama and Soros, you are at his campaign’s mercy to release any statement they put out with your named signed at the bottom. That earns all of them for Obama a back handed bitch slap. Hopefully they WILL cast their vote for Clinton at the end as they should if they want the Dems to win the White House.

05. GEORGE SOROS
Reason: Buying everyone and anything in the way of Obama’s gay ass quest for presidency.

04. DAVID AXELROD
Reason: Worse than Karl Rove and far more dangerous. He is the man with his hand way up Obama’s ass telling him when and how to talk like a sheer puppet. Axelrod is the mastermind behind the whole Weather Underground type movement that he is orchestrated with Ayers to deceit the minds of young voters with the CHANGE and HOPE mantra. Very dangerous man.

03. REV. WRIGHT
Reason: God Damn This Idiot. Reportedly has gay sex with Obama. No Joke. See David Manning.

02. BARACK OBAMA
Reason: He could be #1 but to us he is always #2 in any list. He is a con artist, a mascot, a puppet, worse than Bush. The sheer fact that he has fooled so many Americans, is the #1 reason, you need to bitch slap this idiot. If you ever play basketball with this idiot, bitch slap  after you dunk on him.

01. OREGON VOTERS
Reason: Bitch slap them to WAKE THE FUCK UP.

After all you know about Obama, you are still going to vote for him in Oregon to win the primary there?

Are you guys idiots or is the payola too good?

WAKE UP before you get really bitch slapped in November if you give the primary or the nomination to Obama.

A store near Washington D.C. has put all of the merchandise related to Hillary Clinton on a 50% off sale. It’s not exactly a hard measurement of the electorate, but it does serve as effective symbolism for the math. NBC News has estimated that Senator Clinton would have to win 91% of the remaining delegates(which is nearly impossible) to regain the pledge delegate lead that she lost oh so long ago. Of course, Senator Clinton is determined and ignoring that fact and the question is, why?

Some have suggested that Senator Clinton believes she can still win the nomination. It’s certainly a possibility, though I don’t think it’s the most likely. What seems most likely to me is that while she may hope some catastrophe comes along to destroy Senator Obama, Clinton understands that she will most likely not be the nominee and is hoping for one of three things. The first is to be appointed to a high post in the Obama administration such as Secretary of State or Vice President. The second is that Obama will lose and she’ll be able to rise from the ashes. The third is that this process can lead to her becoming the Speaker of the House.

I think the first is the most likely, but even if it’s one of the others I’m positive that Senator and President Clinton will campaign for Obama if and most likely when he is officially the Democratic nominee. There has been talk suggesting that the Clintons would be too angry and their egos too brusied to campaign for Senator Obama. I don’t buy it for a second. The Clintons have three reasons to campaign for Senator Obama, all of which serve their self-interest. The first is that if they help Obama get elected he might put them in a position of power. The second is that the best way for Bill Clinton to repair his standing within the African-American community is to help the first African-American President get elected. The third is that as mentioned above, it would help Hillary rise again in 2012 as it would show that she has loyalty to something higher than herself(the Democratic Party), as the President is supposed to(The Constitution.)

Is it me, or is Jerry Jones looking more and more like The Creature from the Black Lagoon? Very reptilian, J.J. You don’t see many overweight and or ugly mermaids. Now mermen…..different story. Tiger’s cursing just doesn’t fit with the rest of the package. Wonder who packaged that package? Caddied once for Leonard Coleman (former NL President) and we talked about Barry Bonds. He told me that while he thought Barry was indeed the kind of guy portrayed, Jeff Kent was even more of a p*r*i*c*k. “Biggest one in the majors,” I’m still having trouble deciding which coach rubs me the worst: Rick Pitino, John Calipari, or Bobby Petrino. Been saying for years that Florida Field (aka The Swamp) is the toughest place to play for visiting years and it’s beginning to bother me that many more fair weathered fans agree. Referring to the Cubs as the “Cubbies” bugs me. Too yuppie for me. Does Tommy Lasorda ever take off his Dodger uniform? Is he still the manager? NASCAR’s become too mainstream for me. I liked it better when it was more of a “fringe sport.” Can you say “sell-out?” Can we please knock off this whole “Dancing with the Stars” with professional athletes nonsense? I don’t know what’s worse: being Aaron Rogers (q.b. of the future?) in Green Bay, or Elliot Spitzer at the next Spitzer family barbeque. Remember, Patrick Henry? He’s the dude who coined the phrase, “Politics is the last refuge of the scoundrel.”I’m tired of Duke. Reminds me of the spoiled rich kid who doesn’t get his way. Tired of feeling like I have to (as a sport’s fan) get into the Women’s NCAA basketball tournament. How many more “Tatupus” are there yet to play in the N.F.L? Is there anyone out there who didn’t know that Jim Nance roomed with Fred Couples (and it’s Fred and not “Freddie,” what do you know him or something?). The whole Dan Patrick/Rick Reilly snarky white guy wanna be “down with the brothers” bit has worn out it’s welcome with me. The X-Games will never be what it wants to be. Tiger Woods needs to calm down. Jesus has already risen once. Hey Jose (Reyes), a little less dancing and a little more playing would be nice. Especially in a big spot. Tired too of this whole “Jaba Rules” stuff. And I’m a Yankee fan. You think Natalie Gulbis has ever suffered from “explosive diarrhea?” How come I see so many Red Sox regalia in the New York metro area? I guarantee that if I were to spend some time in New England, I wouldn’t see too many Yankee hats. The Yankees are thinking about implementing a new dress code for fans attending games. Suit and tie only. Who died and left “Bud” the “King of Beers?” Who do you think is a bigger “hanger on-er,” Bill Clinton or Roger Clemens? I miss games played on artificial turf. That’s enough for now. I’m exhausted. One more thing: I’ve had it with the middle east. Let ‘em keep killing each other.
