Unhappy Prediction

[melchar]

So no one died on 'Super Tuesday'. It's getting closer to Hilary's coronation as presidential candidate [as proclaimed by the media - regardless of delegate count] - and thus it is closer to the election wherein the repulsive Republicans win the White House again.

[sighs] And the pundits are going on about a McCain/Huckleberry** ticket. Not -just- repulsive, but an actively scary ticket.


**'Huckleberry' is what -I- call him.

There's not enough separation in the delegate count between Hillary and Obama to call it yet. I don't think we're going to get to the Democratic convention with a split ticket; one will squeak out just enough delegates before the convention to win.

There's enough delegates in the hands of Romney and Huck that McCain may not squeak out enough delegates to win before the Republican convention. Then we'll see the back-room dealing.

Clinton and Obama - if the nominee winner chose the other as a running mate, I think a Democratic White House victory would be virtually guaranteed.

Don't I wish. Sadly, that ticket might win in New York and California - maybe even in New Jersey and Illinois, but nowhere else. Darned 'fly-over' states, ruining our idealism.

So many people hate Hilary - and Obama has a 'funny name' [and right wing talk radio already stress that his middle name is 'Hussein' - and then call him by 'mistake' the name 'Osama' [as in, 'so now Osama, oops, I mean Obama of course']. That well is too poisoned for a black guy to win with -two- strikes against him.

Plus there's all that Hilary hatred. [She is so hated, it needs to be mentioned twice.]

No, I dont think theres that many people that hate Hilary as the media is forcing us to believe. And no matter who Is the the candidate and side kick. (and your all assuming much if you think they would pick each other) the black and Mexican vote is very big this year. Not to mention labor. Assuming the Republicans don't fuck with the voting places like they did in 2000

I call Huckabee "Fuckabee"

...well that's pretty much what he wants to do to the US Constitution...

Some predictions from whoever

In an attempt to mollify social conservatives, Huck Finn will be the Republican VP nominee, causing the ticket to implode. McCain is old enough that concerns over his health will cause people to look seriously at his running mate and the majority of supporters of McCain Cannot support Finn.

Whoever the Dem nominee is, neither Obama or Clinton will be their VP nominee. They may like each other off-stage [may], but neither could stand to be second fiddle to the other. But if Clinton gets it, she'll pick someone who will not likely run in eight years, allowing Obama his chance at it.

Obama mike pick Edwards, but that's a bit of a long shot. More likely is Biden or Dodd.

They need Richardson for the VP ticket. He's Hispanic and that may help carry the day in Texas and Florida [they need more than CA, NJ, NY and IL to a win].

Plus, he's a governor and that plays well in middle America when they look at a senator hoping to be president.

... but I still fear we are doomed. [so VERY depressed]

Obama might take Richardson, and he could definitely help a lot there. I'm not sure Clinton could do that - he was too much a part of Bill's administration. She's gotta pick someone "new". And her camp is too good to not know that.

...and thus she is doomed to lose. This is a huge pity, since another batch of elephants in the White House will insure disaster for the nation.

McCain will kill them and the Huckster will condemn them to hell. What a tag team. Two people controlling the strongest nation on the globe that believe that the Flintstones where a documentary, and that most scientists are EVIL.

But the uttermost terrifying truth is that God-boy Hucklebee would be just one heart attack from running the country which he will quickly claim was gods will and continue George Bush's holy work of changing this country into a theocracy.

[nods] The idea of that god flogger getting into office makes me shudder.

...and maybe I'm a cynic, but I bet Huckleberry is the sort who would try to 'help' McCain along to the Pearly Gates.
