More People Have Voted For Hillary Clinton Than Barack Obama

It’s true:

After last night’s decisive victory in Pennsylvania, more people have voted for Hillary than any other candidate, including Sen. Obama.

Estimates vary slightly, but according to Real Clear Politics, Hillary has received 15,095,663 votes to Sen. Obama’s 14,973,720, a margin of more than 120,000 votes. ABC News reported this morning that “Clinton has pulled ahead of Obama” in the popular vote.

Of course, they had to include votes from Michigan and Florida voters to get to that total despite the fact that delegates from those states won’t be seated at the Democrat convention, but even so this gives the much-talked-about “super delegates” an excuse to hand the nomination to Hillary over Obama.  Especially now that certain skeletons from Obama’s closet (Rezko, Wright, Ayers and Dohrn to name a few) have emerged, raising questions about Obama’s appeal to mainstream Americans in a general election, that could be the key to a triumphant comeback for Hillary.

By no means does this mean that Hillary has a lock on the nomination, but with her win in Pennsylvania and the fund raising surge it has sparked, this does throw a monkey wrench into the Obama machine which as of just a few weeks ago seemed destined to roll right into the convention and seize the nomination by acclamation.

Make no doubt about it: Obama is in serious trouble.

I don’t believe it counts caucuses.

So that settles it: Hillary has won the primaries.

If the Democrats give the nomination to Barack, they are “overturning the will of the people”. This is according to all of those Democrats who have ever bitched and moaned about the Electoral College in the last seven years.

What a mess these nincompoops have created for themselves. The “Democratic Party” is not very democratic.

The “God Damn America” candidate and his supporters have painted themselves into a box. What a show!

I think the real story of the primary cycle is the disenfranchising of 2 entire states.  Funny how the liberals were quick to claim minorities were disenfranchised in Florida 2000, but are strangely silent at the democrats disenfranchisement of minorities in the hundreds of thousands.

I thought democrats were all for democracy and “every vote” being counted.

Oh, and H, the hypocrisy is the icing on the cake.  The point is democrat voters have been disenfranchised at the hand of thier own party!

HG - Funny how the liberals were quick to claim minorities were disenfranchised in Florida 2000, but are strangely silent at the democrats disenfranchisement of minorities in the hundreds of thousands.

It’s typical. Liberals are the epitome of “do as I say, not as I do”.

They even get mad when you don’t add the “ic” to the end of the Democrat. They get upset when we don’t indulge them in their lies.

Oh yeah - Barack Obama’s spiritual adviser has a message for us: God Damn America!!

It’s all about “hope” and “change” folks. Move along. Nevermind the business as usual. Move along and vote for Obama.

If the elites in the democrat party will punish thier own members with disenfranchisement when the state party officials do not do what they say, what do you think these same elitists will do to the electorate given the chance?

Kinda makes one wonder at the hypocrisy of those so un-democratic who would nonetheless call themselves Democrats.

It’s all an amazing thing to watch. I don’t remember anything like this in my lifetime.

And of COURSE the Clintons are at the bottom of it.

Obama will be ahead again in a couple of weeks. If they take the nomination from him when he’s ahead, will there be riots? 1964 again? 68? which?

Will blacks vote for McCain? Will Obama take a VP slot? Will Hillary? Will Obama survive her as VP?

Stay tuned..

So much for the Dhimmicrat mantra of “All the votes must be counted!” Apologize from going off topic, but is there a party gag rule on Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton?  Haven’t heard from those “uniters” lately.

I’m still shocked that there was no uproar over Hillary getting 100% of Harlem.  (Shake head and wander off for coffee.)
