Stick a Fork in the Primaries, They’re Done
It’s McMaverick vs. Obamarx, whether Billary and Phuckabee care to admit it or not. Now it’s just a question of how quickly the fake primaries can go away without doing too much damage to their inevitable winners. When Romney was in the race, Phuckabee’s entire campaign focused on (1) how much he hated Romney; and (2) what great guys he and McCain are. Now it all seems to be about what a great guy Phuckabee himself is. Phuck him, it’s long past his time to go exit stage … uh … wherever the hell the nearest, locked-from-the-outside exit may be.
On the Democrat site, much as I love the graphic, I’m not sure Hillary is that dead, but she is dead nonetheless. That she’s even thinking about attempting to persuade not only the stupordelegates but also the pledged ones only goes to show how this is all about her. Not to say she should drop out, of course; as a committed Republican, I say let this slow-motion train wreck go on! The longer these two grossly underqualified hard lefties fight each other, the better off McCain, his party and the country will be. Think Dukakis in 1988: would the GOP even have discovered Willie Horton without a little help from Al Gore?

[...] The primaries are all but over before I got to use the word Phuckabee. [...]

But I’m having so much fun watching the lovely Mrs Clinton twisting slowly in the wind! :)
And, since it’s taking so long for her to admit defeat, and there’s a possibility that the April 22nd Pennsylvania primary will be the one which finally slays te dragon lady, I changed my registration to Democrat, just so I can vote against her!
You needn’t worry, though; come April 23rd, I change back to Republican!

I’ll miss the H-beast. How she manages to keep her fake cheery grin on is astounding.

If McCain loses the general election, there is a significant probability (20% by my seat-of-the-pants estimation) that the GOP will go the way of the Whigs.
The Dem side is more interesting. McCain will beat Obama. That should be clear to anyone not consumed with irrational exuberance. It isn’t clear who would win out between McCain and Hillary, though. That puts the Dems in a quandry. They can still nominate Hillary, but they risk race riots at the convention and elsewhere and could still lose the general election based on that animosity, and maybe steal the self-destruction from the GOP. On the other hand, they can nominate Obama, and lose fair and square.
As bad as backing the Republicans seems now with McCain as the nominee, it seems that the Dems have made themselves even more precarious.
