Joe Kyrillos in the wrong column
How is Kyrillos a loser if, by your own admission, he just gave a boost to his own Senate run?
Nobody expected Romney to do anything in NJ. Kyrillos could have easily been a Giuliani or McCain guy in the primaries, but by backing Romney he just got some needed cred with conservative activists.
Simplistic analysis that doesn't make sense.
Obama was never expected to win NJ and he still got 44% in a pro-establishment, all Clinton, all the time state that is NY's neighbor.
With Obama pulling away from Clinton in states won and delegate counts, maybe last week's perceived winners are reall this week's losers?
Don't count Hillary Out Yet!
Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Pennsylvania! If she stays close in the delegate race out of today's primaries and hunkers down for wins Pennsy Ohio and Texas, she's still in play. This is going all the way to the convention floor. And at the convention I'm going to bet on Bubba Bill wrestling Obama-ites to the floor!
Real Winner is Still Obama
Sorry, but the Group and their big buck fundraisers are a bunch of rich elitists who don't have a clue. They think big money is the answer to everything, let's see how they feel the night Obama gets the nomination. They're going to be the biggest losers. Obama's got a lot of money and most of it is from small donors, the types Hillary doesn't think are worth going after. Those donors haven't maxed out and still have a lot to give, not like Hillary's donors. That's because Obama is a real progressive and Hillary is one big giant fraud.
Beerdrinker Had It Right
Beerdrinker, above, got the result exactly right, way back at the end of April.
Obama's victory, has prompted some members of the The Group -- and most obnoxiously, John F.X. Graham -- into trying to publicly muscle Obama into putting Hillary on the ticket, or they won't support him financially.
Max Pizarro's post here really tells the story.
Just check out Graham's quote -- and get a gander at that look on his face! A little intense, are we?
Gee, threats like that should really convince Obama to pick Clinton to be on his ticket! Graham comes across like a lousy street thug -- or should I say punk!
So, what's next? Will Graham submit a list of Supreme Court appointments that The Group demands Obama make?
