Memo to Hillary Clinton: “Requiescat In Paceâ€
If you look up the word “mulligan†in the dictionary, you would find that it is a re-taken golf shot; or better still: a shot that- against the rules- a golfer allows an opponent to take again. Bill Clinton is known to take many mulligans when playing friendly games of golf; his wife (Hillary Rodham Clinton) seems to have learned this bad habit quite well. It is all about changing the rules in mid game, especially when things aren’t going their way. It’s about refining techniques that give them an unfair advantage in any competitive event. It is cheap, low and crass.
If Billary were to go to any toy store to purchase a device for their pleasure, what they would find is that in near all devices sold: “batteries are not includedâ€. So after Tuesday’s primaries (Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont), all rational Democrats need to emphatically make the case- to both Bill and Hillary Clinton- that mulligans (just like batteries) are not included in the rules of this year’s primary elections.
I must admit that I have been having big fun during this election cycle. I have been amused when watching the many “Clintonistasâ€, running around the talk shows, spinning deluded tales of audacious hopes for best case scenarios, while seemingly oblivious to the harsher reality: Billary’s candidacy is dead; long live the dead.
By now, even my many detractors on these here blogs, must grudgingly admit, that when I told you all that Super-Tuesday would be Hillary’s “Waterlooâ€: I was absolutely correct. Likewise when I said that many Clintonistas would not recognize this demise; ditto when I did my last memo (to Billy-Bob), stating that she was (like Sonny Liston) knocked out on her feet, and the towel (of resignation) should be thrown into the ring. Hillary Clinton’s candidacy has been dead since before Christmas Day last, now she is looking for Jesus Christ to pull another one of his Lazarus acts: aint gonna happen kid; sorry.
When I predicted that she will be punished for her New Hampshire chicanery, and for touching the Holy Grail (Martin Luther King) of black (and some white) people, with her desperate and condescending remarks, some detractors suggested that I was being blasphemous: how loud are they now? Some even suggested that I should be sued for libel and such. That’s why anonymous commenters should be disallowed on these here blogs: we could show those who like to terrorize political analysts here, how wrong they were (by name), and how ridiculous or stupid their remarks/critiques were; after the event is over of course. This would help in making people more responsible with their comments on these threads. There is a responsibility to blogging; anonymous commenters shouldn’t get a free pass.
After her cheap New Hampshire victory, Hillary Clinton got an old fashioned ass-whipping in South Carolina. The Clintonistas then stressed that Super Tuesday would be the end-game in this chess battle, while looking for mulligans in both Michigan and Florida. Then the Clintonistas moved the goal post again- after another whipping that day- suggesting that Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania would be firewalls in their continued futile quest. This is so trite when you consider that she has lost fourteen contests in a row. This number includes the Virgin Islands. So now we arrive at mini-Tuesday, it’s forty-eight hours from now; let’s look at the pre-whipping spin emanating from the Clintonistas and their blindly loyal PR folks.
Already they are suggesting that even if she loses Texas, the campaign will continue. They have changed their tunes more times than a ragtime rag-tag band. They have changed their minds more times than Kobe Bryant’s accuser changed her panties that sordid weekend past. They are now suggesting that they will go all the way to the convention with this nonsensical fight, in hopes of persuading super-delegates to come their way, and also (maybe) persuading pledged delegates to stiff Barack Obama: what a brilliant strategy! Especially from a presidential candidate prepared to lead from day one.
Let me say, with the immortal words of former US president William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton: “give me a breakâ€. Look, this fairy tale has stopped flying since super-Tuesday. The witch-broom had a flat tire; all the princes that were kissed have now become frogs again. Even if Hillary were to sweep Obama on Tuesday, she will still come up way short of the number of delegates she needs to resurrect her Lazarus-candidacy; but that’s not going to happen any which way. On Tuesday she may be the one on the receiving end of Barack’s sweeping “magic broomâ€, since the worst case scenario for Obama seems to be in winning only Texas and/ or Vermont. And for a long time I personally felt that Vermont was a good state for Hillary Clinton to pick up, but many many people told me that I was wrong in this regard.
In Rhode Island there are over 43,000 new registered voters; who do you think this favors? I don’t even think 43,000 voters came out in the last presidential primary held in this tiny state; but even if she does win there as the polls suggest, she gains only a smidgen of delegates on him at best: “whoop dee damn dooâ€.
Ohio is a must win for her moribund strategy, and I have sources on the ground telling me that Ohio is still competitive for Obama at the moment. What would they say if they were to lose one or both of their firewall states? That they want another mulligan? How long must we be subjected to this charade? Even if Hillary does her best on mini-Tuesday, she will gain maybe a handful of delegates on Obama; that’s how futile this effort is.
The Clintonistas are looking way beyond mini-Tuesday as they spin their fantasies. So let’s see what’s left over the next three months: Mississippi (3/11); Pennsylvania (4/22); Guam (5/03); North Carolina and Indiana (5/06); Wyoming (5/08); West Virginia (5/13); Kentucky (5/20); Puerto Rico (6/01); South Dakota and Montana (6/03). All of these eleven states appear to be competitive for Barack Obama; with Mississippi and North Carolina seemingly impossible for Billary to win. Look, I have already told you that Barack’s magic number has already been attained. I am sure that most democrats have had enough of Billary’s myopic tactics by now; and as I have said before: Barack Obama will get to the convention with more pledged delegates, more primary wins, more caucus wins and more raw votes than Hillary Clinton. What is her rationale for continuing this ridiculous fight: super-delegate nomination giveaways? Let’s get real folks; let’s get real.
So come Wednesday morning, all sensible democrats need to say to Billary with loud clear voices: “REQUIESCAT IN PACEâ€. And for those of you who don’t recognize the Latin, or is unable to translate this phrase to English; it means: REST IN PEACE.
Stay tuned-in folks; although it isn’t fun to gawk at funeral processions.

Delegate math
Going forward after "mini-super-Tuesday," Clinton needs to get about 60% of the remaining pledged delegates to catch Obama. But...
If she were to get within, say, 50 delegates, she could claim that she has the momentum, that the voters who had the best chance to look at the candidates chose her, and that she will therefore be the stronger candidate to win in November. Therefore, she will say, the superdelegates should pick her.
It's not an untenable argument -- if she closes the gap. And that's the problem.
The next two states are Wyoming and Mississippi. Obama should win both of them. Then comes the biggest single prize left, Pennsylvania; let's assume Clinton wins that.
Next comes Guam and its 4 delegates, which Obama should win. Then comes the next two biggest chunks, Indiana and North Carolina. Obama will win North Carolina, but Indiana will probably go for Clinton. A week later it's West Virginia, followed a week after that by Kentucky and Oregon.
Not seeing a lot of movement there. The chances are that the delegate split will remain pretty steady.
Montana and South Dakota have 31 delegates between them, and we finished with Puerto Rico's 55 delegates. Again, not much shift there, as Obama should win the first two, and Clinton should win Puerto Rico.
Basically, there isn't a lot of opportunity for Clinton to close the gap sufficiently to make an argument for the superdelegates. Sure, it could happen, but it probably won't.
One more thing -- the Obama campaign memo that outlined the delegate path to victory and was inadvertently sent to the media shortly after Super Tuesday has been remarkably prescient. The only significant error so far is that the memo had Clinton winning Maine, and Obama won that state handily.

What a load of adolescent
What a load of adolescent trash talk.

Obama Worse Than Unfair
Dear Hillary Supporters: Somebody should tell Hillary’s staff what’s being posted on Obama and McCain websites around the country. I read versions of the following on both. What a way to get beat! Pennsylvania is everything, so keep it sharp as a razor, Hillary!
And good luck to us all,
Martha Turner.
This is what I read.
How the Monster Made Her Comeback:
We endorse Barack Obama as the next president of the United States as this is the most important election America will ever have, possibly the last if Obama is not elected. The Revolutionary Party derives its politics and license to criticize Hillary Clinton in the most damning way from the equation for evolution we have imprinted on the flag on our website. This function, which underpins our thinking, has been accepted by science for the last eighty years and we trust in it as well as much as born-agains trust in God. Mathematics doesn’t lie. An analysis based on the equation indicates that the so-called war on terror will ratchet up to world war, a genuinely terrifying thought given a world heavily armed with nuclear weapons. For that reason we support Barack Obama as the only real anti-war candidate.
Hillary? In our opinion, she is the more all around competent candidate and has been upended by Obama to a great degree because he is trim and youthfully enthusiastic. But before Hillary came Bill, which should cause us to stop and think.
The value of our mathematics based analysis lies in its ability to objectively distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys. The technical aspects of the analysis make it slow reading for those without a science background, so we will give its conclusions here first and save the detailed reasoning for later.
Put simply, the Clintons are what is known in the political science textbooks as populists, those who achieve political success by playing to the people, to their needs and pains and wants. But there is a difference between patter and delivery. We are all familiar with artificial soda. The Clintons are like an artificial banana split, very likable, but with no real food value.
Recall President Clinton and his first lady. During their tenure America’s favorite political couple sang a song of health care delivery, but delivered rather on prison construction and on the number of police put on the streets. The Pew Report that came out the end of February said that one American in a hundred is locked up in a prison or jail. To put this into better perspective, the report said that America has 7 million people in jail or otherwise under the control of the penal system. This is 16 times more per capita than the communist People’s Republic of China, where, we all know, there is no freedom or human rights. Clinton legislature took America to the highest prison population in the world, a statistic historically associated with police states like Stalinist Russia and apartheid South Africa. This is not to say that America is a police state, of course, for if it were you’d have heard about it on the evening news.
Also notably absent in the media is another creation of the Clintons, the near million homeless people that wander the streets of Sacramento and Las Vegas and our other big cities. This sharp upsurge in homelessness came about inarguably as a result of Clinton legislature that ended LBJ’s war on poverty by terminating effective social protections for out of work people, something many more will become more familiar with as the stock market collapses from the cost of the war and the recession takes hold in full force.
What the Clintons did with prisons and police and welfare protection and NAFTA and failed to do with health care very much pleased the moneyed class and the conservatives. Our technical analysis objectively shows the Republican social and fiscal conservatives to be bad guys because their relationship to the working class and middle class is basically that of master to servant. This fact is also muted by populist politicians like the Clintons whose tax returns, were they to be made public, would show that they are members in good standing of the moneyed class too.
This deep secret of class control and abuse is also kept under wraps by the media, whose personalities are hired and controlled by the moneyed class. Other than the few raisins stirred into in the poison muffin of TV to make it seem fair, media people who don’t keep the secret of class control and the unhappiness of most of us that derives from it, don’t last long on their jobs or are not hired to begin with. The ones who do make the cut endlessly spout the lies of the so-called American Dream in one form or another. The power of the media to control people’s thoughts and actions in conformity with American ideology is difficult to assess for people who get their information primarily from the media, as do most people.
Also hidden by the media from public sight are facts about life readily observable even by doing something as simple as riding public transportation. Here the observer notes that the average person is unhappy with fear and personal failure showing clearly on their faces and in their behaviors. This effect of control and abuse in the workplace and at school is not seen on TV where all the media personalities act through their endlessly smiling and bubbly days to show to the audience that America really is a happy place, the steady stream of mass murders in schools, workplaces and malls not able to be kept out of the news notwithstanding.
And much as the ugly facts of our present existence are air brushed away in the media, so also is the future we realistically face. Not made clear is that the dollar is fast becoming as worthless as the paper it was printed on to keep this war going. Or that the stock market and the housing market will soon halve their value, giving those who have been spared homelessness to date a taste of that hell on earth firsthand. The Clintons will not care because they are a part of the apparatus that brought us to where we are in America today.
Hillary should be given credit for being an ambitious and a profoundly adept social climber and a very talented actress, our American Evita. We have no problem applauding her for her personal successes. But she is never going to go against the wishes of the money class that created her and Bill and supported these two as their adorable political puppets. She will not stop this war.
Yes, she says she will, despite her voting for the war. And there are those of you that think that Hillary would never lie to us. But Bill said he would never lie to us, too. And he said it so well that I yet don’t believe he lied to us about Monica. Monica who? That is how good an actor Bill is. And this suggests that his mate is no less of a self-serving liar.
Of course, transgressions are relative. True, the flag pin wearing conservatives are more disgusting than the Clintons. Who of us is not totally revulsed by the smell of a public rest room emanating from the Bible squeezing, boy hustling, conservative senator from Idaho caught with his pants down? Nobody has caught Bill at something that viscerally gross yet. Still, what character is there in a first family when the head of the most powerful nation on earth sticks a penile object, not even his own, up some college kid’s vagina? If the Clinton presidency were a movie, they would not be playing the Star Spangled Banner in the background during that particular scene.
And to be completely and totally unkind, doesn’t that make you wonder about the guy’s wife? Really, does any intelligent female over the age of 22 think that Hillary actually felt bad about Bill and Monica? Judging from the observable obvious that Bill is no more than Hillary’s showboat, the best educated guess is that is Hillary is lesbian, a married one, not that unusual in modern America. If Hillary was mad about anything with Monica, it was that she didn’t get a shot at her too. Watch one of Hillary’s girlfriends surface soon to clarify Hillary’s preference as to penile object.
The smiling Clintons are so phony and so odd in this area that one would not be surprised to find that the unconfident Chelsea Clinton developed as such as a result of some form of child abuse. Chelsea does not look happy. Neglect by the Clintons is hardly to be overlooked as this ambitious pair had better things to pay attention to in their furious political rise to the top than their daughter. And sexual abuse is not to be totally ruled out either given Bill’s juvenile sexual approach generally.
The best bet to end the war and our American style police state is to vote for Barack Obama. Not for Hillary, who is so self-serving that one would not be to shocked to see her do something as outrageous as teaming up with Mike Huckabee on a national reconciliation ticket, if that is what she had to do to get elected. Hopefully Obama will not be removed by the conservative ruling class by assassination if their efforts to push him out with bad media and the federally well-timed Resko trial are not successful at ending his candidacy. But if he is knocked out, by whatever means, and we dearly hope not, the Revolutionary Party is ready to offer a sensible replacement candidate, for an America run by the conservatives or Hillary is just another eight years in the conservative pigpen. In that event, if enough people get in touch to say they are interested, I did run for President in 2000 as a write-in candidate and would consider it again. But only in the event that Obama is terminally derailed by the conservatives.

I won't.
If Hillary Clinton was to become the nominee (and I SERIOUSLY doubt this), I will not vote for her. Either way, Rock is absolutely corrct, the MATH doesn't give her a chance. She has to win nearly 2 out of every 3 remaining pledged delegates. She would rather wreck the party and Obama's chances in November to satisfy her ego and lust for power. This is selfish.
