Ride ‘Em, Cowgirl!

This is becoming more fun by the moment.

Hillary Clinton, astride the Crazy Pony, guns ablazing and war cackles ringing, just beat Obama in West Virginia. And she didn’t just beat him. She trounced him.

She won in every single county in the state and beat him two to one in the overall vote. It won’t make any difference, of course. The so called “super delegates” are pounding drums and chanting Obama’s name like the villagers in King Kong. And, no, that’s not a racial slam or reference, it’s just a visual, so all you lefties out there get over it before you start.

Anyway, her inevitable defeat won’t stop her. Not yet anyway. I don’t think she’s got the deal she wants and that’s probably the VP spot. If she takes another state or two (and Kentucky may be one of them) like she did West Virginia, Obama will still win but with a much weakened mandate from the Democrats themselves. She has to know that. And she won’t quit until she either gets what she wants or makes sure Obama is unelectable in November.

She has become the fly in the ointment with which the left was prepared to annoit the chosen one.

Also, Obama’s comments about blue collar America have come back to haunt him no matter what kind of spin his campaign wants to put on it. It brings to mind the old expression: Be careful of the toes you step on on your way up. They may belong to the butt you’ll have to kiss on your way back down. And Hillary is playing that for all it’s worth.

Anyway, the Crazy Pony charges along, our little cowgirl still in the saddle. And somehow I can see her repeating Bruce Willis’ famous line in Die Hard to Barack Obama:

Yippee kiyay, M&%@$#!+^%$r!!!!”

I think the good news in that primary election is that many of Hills supporters will not support Obama in the general election.  Chalk up West Virginia for the McCain.

I don’t know, the policy differences between Hillary and Obama are pretty much nonexistent.  I don’t see why they won’t come back into the fold once the controversy is settled.

Of course that’s coming from my point of view.  I don’t intend on voting for McCain over serious policy differences.  I consider that to have a rational base. 

Will the Democrats make decisions rationally or will they keep playing the identity politics game?


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

toot, I think you have an attack of ‘wishful’ thinking.  When have the Dems NOT played identity politics in recent times?

Hillary is just staying in to drive support to McCain on behalf of the people who support him and her. Neocons should be grateful because, the longer she stays in, the better McCain’s chances. She will end up getting the money she has loaned her campaign many times over. Where did she get all of this money, anyway? They didn’t have it when Bill was driven out of office.

...When Bill was driven out of office.

Did I miss something big?  To the best of my recollection President Clinton served for eight full years; all that is allowed by the Constitution.


"Here lies, in honored glory, an American soldier, known but to God.”

The stakes are high. Whether the issue is the economy, or energy, or the federal courts or national security, the right answers are coming not from the Democrats, but from the Republicans. The surge of operations that began a year ago is succeeding. The only way to lose this fight is to quit. Richard M. Cheney, Vice President, 30 May, 2008

ews48: Bill served two terms, he was not driven out of office at all; although, because of his conscious sexual indiscretions he was almost ‘blown’ out of office.


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Hah! Made me laugh out loud. Thanks. It’s been Hell Week at work and I needed that.

I was wondering why the msm decided to really push the “Obama is the winner” last week.
They had been watching the polling for the upcoming contests & knew he’d get crushed.
