Stewpid far left losers... who both have ALREADY LOST elections... decide that Obama needs to be the nominee? And both endorse him?
That sounds pretty funny to me! Is George McGovern even ALIVE? Who gives a DAMN what he has to say, leftists? That loser led dems down to defeat like a pied piper! And Tom Daschle? What possible good... is HIS... endorsement?
For a conservative watching the modern political left? This is amazing! It is proof of what I have stated for YEARS now. That the far left has hijacked the party, and the moderate political left might as well start trying to find a NEW HOME. The far left has jacked the party, with Pelosi and Dean as admirals of the fleet, and their NEWEST nomination for captain? As yet to be confirmed? Is Barrack Hussein Obama, folks. Complete with zero foreign policy experience, and over one hundred votes of 'just present' in 8 years as a state senator in Illinois!
Your ONLY hope to win this election NOW.... is to pray that the superdelegates come to their senses, realise that Obama is unelectable and a DISASTER.... and give the nod to Hillary, who is on the verge of winning (after every primary and caucus is done)...uh, what is it... 8 of the last 10? If she wins South Dakota and Puerto Rico? She's basically.... on the verge of WINNING OUT, democrats! And where do the freakin' superdelegates run? Like rats on a tilting Titanic! They are running UPSTAIRS! There's no doubt in my mind.... that the insanity which ruled the day.... in the months just before Robespierre ended up getting his OWN blade? Could only have happened to the political left of the day! Leftists, democrats, progressives, liberals, whatEVER.... you wish to call them!
There is NO FREAKIN' WAY... that the Hillary supporters are going to be able to stomach the way that she got treated down the stretch by these superdelegates; even as she began winning the very states that democrats need to win the most.... these superbozos ran over to the confident Obama camp-- and I might say an arrogant bunch at that-- in droves that would make Robespierre quite proud!
The irony is that Hillary and Bill Clinton, a handful of leftists, tons of moderates, and a few yellow dogs.... hold dear to their breasts
all that is left...
of the moderate wing.....
of the democratic party.
They've been royally screwed by a lot of people who should have been with them, and they know it.
It was actually inevitable... that your rainbow would fracture up. The only ticket that can win for you now is Hillary for president, and someone ELSE... other than.... Hussein and his skullfaced wife riding shotgun as VP. This crew called Obama is riding high and lofty, and confidence is high; repeat... confidence IS high. The left managed to squelch any more sentiments from the good senator's MENTOR, but it seems even the good senator can not remember which of his caucasion relatives actually fought in which theatre in WW2.
McCain will eat him alive in the debates. Last chance for sanity, leftists-- if you want to have a chance at winning? RUN THE WOMAN.

Obama, Clinton in close battle for South Dakota By CHET BROKAW, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 19 minutes ago
The voters of South Dakota look a lot like those who have favored Hillary Rodham Clinton in presidential primaries this year, but her rival, front-runner Barack Obama, has plenty of friends in high places in this rural state.
Not quite the stone faces atop Mount Rushmore. But most Democrats who've won statewide elections, past and present, in predominantly Republican South Dakota have endorsed Obama. These include former Sens. George McGovern, himself the Democratic presidential nominee in 1972, and Tom Daschle, the ex-Senate majority leader, and both Democrats now in Congress, Sen. Tim Johnson and Rep. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin.
In addition, the Illinois senator has used his substantial fundraising edge over Clinton to field a larger ground organization in this sparsely populated state, which allocates only 15 national convention delegates in its June 3 primary but offers a larger psychological prize.
The last two primaries in the Democratic race, South Dakota and neighboring Montana, whose voters will distribute 16 delegates the same day, provide a final opportunity to display vote-getting power that might sway uncommitted superdelegates nationwide. These elected and party officials, whose convention votes are not bound by any primary, will provide the nominee's final margin of victory unless the final three primaries put Obama over the top.
"South Dakota and Montana get to be players in that, determining what the final message of the primaries will be," said Robert Burns, chairman of political science at South Dakota State University.
"It's important that Obama win both of them to convince the holdout superdelegates that he can win in predominantly white states," Burns said. "I think it's equally important to Clinton to show that in the last two primaries, she comes out a winner and is deserving of further consideration by superdelegates."
Obama is generally considered to be narrowly ahead of the former first lady here even though South Dakota's demographics appear to favor her.
Straddling the line between Midwest and West, South Dakota is overwhelmingly rural with corn and soybeans in the east and rolling cattle ranches and the Black Hills in the west. The state is 88 percent white, consistently ranks last in the nation in annual average wages and has the eighth-largest percentage of residents older than 65. Clinton has handily won states with electorates like this, most recently Kentucky and West Virginia.
No independent polls have been released in recent weeks, and both campaigns call the South Dakota race close.
"It's really, really hard to tell which way it's going to go," said Elizabeth Smith, a political science professor at the University of South Dakota.
Obama spent a day in South Dakota, talking about his rural policies in a dirt-floored building in Watertown and drawing a huge crowd in Sioux Falls. He planned another visit this weekend.
Clinton has been a more frequent visitor, holding rallies in cities large and small as she focused on farm policy, the economy and health care. With a week to go, Clinton's campaign announced that either she, her husband, the former president, or their daughter, Chelsea, would be in South Dakota every day until the primary.
Clinton was running a radio ad to blunt the perception that Obama is all but certain to get the Democratic nomination. "Tuesday we can show 'em. We can pick a president," the ad's narrator said.
Obama, meanwhile, was running ads emphasizing his message of change. Obama ads featuring Daschle described Obama as coming from a family of modest means with "the same values as most South Dakotans."
Both candidates highlighted their support of the farm bill and pledged support for ethanol and other fuels made from crops and for using wind to generate electrical power.
Smith and Burns, the political science professors, said endorsements and organization could give Obama the edge.
Obama opened nine campaign offices around the state; Clinton, six.
Rick Hauffe, South Dakota Democratic Party executive director, marveled at the size of Obama's campaign staff. "They are muscling it. They are working it hard."
Daschle, who dominated the Democratic Party in the state for more than two decades, was an early Obama supporter, and many former Daschle staffers now work for Obama in South Dakota.
Smith said Clinton may be able to catch up, but Obama seems to have more "troops on the ground."
"I think the experienced politicians and the experienced networks are on the Obama team, and that could very well make a difference," Smith said.
Obama has been endorsed by six of South Dakota's seven superdelegates. McGovern, who is not a superdelegate, switched his endorsement from Clinton to Obama in early May and said she should drop out because she had virtually no chance of winning the nomination.
American Indians make up South Dakota's largest minority group, more than 8 percent of the population, and traditionally vote for Democrats. Both candidates have issued detailed plans for economic development, improved health care and education for reservations, which have staggeringly high unemployment rates.
Before Obama appeared at a Sioux Falls rally, he met privately with leaders from all Lakota Sioux tribes in South Dakota.
Both Clinton and her husband have spent a lot of time campaigning on reservations. Clinton could benefit from her husband's visit to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1999 when he was president.
"The Clinton name is known on South Dakota reservations. I would suspect she may very well have an edge there," Smith said.
The role race will play in South Dakota's primary is uncertain, Smith said. Blacks make up slightly more than 1 percent of the population.
"Most South Dakotans would be very proud to say they're not racially discriminatory in any way. Whether that's true or not, we really don't know," Smith said. "We haven't had a significant African-American presence in this state, nor have we seen African-Americans run for higher office here. So it's still impossible to know."
That sounds pretty funny to me! Is George McGovern even ALIVE? Who gives a DAMN what he has to say, leftists? That loser led dems down to defeat like a pied piper! And Tom Daschle? What possible good... is HIS... endorsement?
