New magic number is 2118 - Obama 66 delegates from nomination

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


With hundreds of White Women screaming murder, the Democratic Party Rules Committee today dealt a severe blow to Hillary “Napoleon” Clinton.

Hillary wanted the whole nine yards of Michigan and another nine of Florida, irrespective of the DNC rules that were set up very clearly and agreed upon by both campaigns before the beginning of the primaries.

In other words, she wants to steal this nomination by hook or crook — including inciting White Women by invoking baseless charges of “Sexism” by the Obama campaign, and by race-baiting.

It has not and will not work Ma. Clinton!

The rulings (by vote) by the DNC today prompted Hillary’s chief delegate Harold Ickes to angrily state: “There’s been a lot of talk about party unity–let’s all come together, and put our arms around each other,” said Ickes, who is also a member of the Rules Committee that approved the deal. “I submit to you ladies and gentlemen, hijacking four delegates … is not a good way to start down the path of party unity,” adding that Clinton had instructed him to reserve her right to appeal the matter to the Democrats’ credentials committee, at the party’s convention in August.

Obama picked up a total of 32 delegates in Michigan, including super delegates who have already committed, and 36 in Florida, for a total of 2,052. Hillary Clinton correspondingly picked up 38 in Michigan and 56.5 in Florida, for a total of 1,877.5.

To Hillary I say:

It’s Over ……PERIOD!!

The party of Clinton is now Obama’s party, whether you like it or not!

You and Bill are nothing but crooks who think that the presidency of The United States is an entitlement, and even a thoroughbred black man like Obama has no business grabbing “what belongs to you.” [see Michael Pfleger video below]

Hillary…..I hope to live to see a woman become the president of The United States someday — that woman will NOT be you. You are nothing but a THUG, in the mode of the “vicious Hyenas” who call themselves Republicans a.k.a ReTHUGlicans.

Go home Hillary — and bake cookies and have tea with Bill, for that’s a sure way of keeping tabs on his “philandering self.”

The FAT LADY has sung!

Meanwhile, Sen. Barack Obama has quit his controversial congregation, Trinity United Church of Christ, in Chicago, campaign spokesman Bill Burton said Saturday.

Inflammatory sermons by the church’s longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., forced Obama to initially defend – then denounce – his former spiritual mentor.

Then this week, Obama had to distance himself from another minister preaching at Trinity, the Rev. Michael Pfleger, who last Sunday made comments that seemed to accuse Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) of acting “entitled” because she is white…[MORE]

Tim Russert: Obama has it won!

It’s Time For Hillary To Quit!

“We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be,” NBC’s Tim Russert declared on MSNBC last evening. The Meet the Press host was referring to Barack Obama, who won a decisive victory over Hillary Rodham Clinton in today’s North Carolina primary and is within just a few percentage points of her in the Indiana vote count.

The network’s Chuck Todd ran through the math and calculated that Obama now leads Clinton in the “popular vote” by about 710,000 — and by 200,000 if the disputed primaries in Florida and Michigan are counted. He also leads by about 160 Democratic convention delegates, Todd said.

Obama, according to Todd, can now make the case “that no matter how you do the math, I’m still ahead.”

The Politico’s Ben Smith reports that Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said this evening that the campaign is going to spend some time over the next few weeks campaigning in states that will be critical in the fall election. “I don’t think we are doing to spend our time solely in primary states,” Axelrod said. There are six primaries left on the Democratic calender; in West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota.

Barack Obama is 200 delegates away from the nomination, two weeks after a decisive defeat in Pennsylvania. Last night Obama sounded increasingly like he was looking forward to the fall campaign.

In a raucous rally in Raleigh, N.C., he congratulated Clinton on what he said “appears to be” a win in Indiana.

But he told the crowd, “Tonight we stand less than 200 delegates away from winning the Democratic nomination for president of the United States.”

“This primary season may not be over, but when it is, we will have to remember who we are as Democrats,” he said, “because we all agree that at this defining moment in history — a moment when we’re facing two wars, an economy in turmoil, a planet in peril — we can’t afford to give John McCain the chance to serve out George Bush’s third term.”

MEANWHILE: Clinton vowed at a late-night rally in Indianapolis that her campaign would continue at “full speed” — then made an appeal for money to fight on in the face of a fund-raising disadvantage.

Despite the uncertainty of the outcome in Indiana, Clinton staked a claim to victory there.

“Not too long ago, my opponent made a prediction,” she said at the rally, joined by her husband, Bill, his face sunburned after hours spent campaigning in small-town North Carolina, and their daughter, Chelsea. “I would win Pennsylvania, he would win North Carolina and Indiana would be the tie-breaker.

“Well, tonight we’ve come from behind, we’ve broken the tie, and thanks to you it’s full speed on to the White House.”
