Do the Clintons believe that superdelegates are a bunch of stupid idiots?
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/26/bill-clinton-says-wife-is-victim-of-a-%E2%80%98cover-up%E2%80%99/

<snip>
— Former President Bill Clinton said that Democrats were more likely to lose in November if his wife Hillary Clinton is not the party’s presidential nominee, and suggested some people were trying to “cover this up” and “push and pressure and bully” superdelegates to make up their minds prematurely.
<snip>

So, when the superdelegates support Hillary, all is well with the world. But when superdelegates abandon Hillary and support Obama, it's because they're being "pressured and bullied" into doing so. Poor superdelegates, they can't make up their own minds, they're allowing themselves to be subject to the Obama campaign and his flock of supporters.

11. If his "charm" isn't working, shouldn't he just get some Viagra from Bob Dole?

3. Evidently they not only believe that
But they're right. If these wimps would get off of their duffs we could pivot and start painting McSame as the 3rd Bush term that he is. But instead these political triangulists are evidently content watching the party being torn apart at its seams because they lack the courage to do what's right.

In my book they're either stupid or cowardly. Take your pick.

12. So you're all for freshmen Congresspeople dividing their bases, and thus...
...throwing the traditionally RW districts they won by slim margins in 2006 back to the Rape-Publicans?

Wow, how smart and brave of you!

:puke:

NGU.

8. In a word, yes....
The clintons are convinced that anybody that hasn't acknowledged their inevitability and right to the whitehouse throne must be either stupid or making a mistake of such magnificent proportions that the party will be doomed. hmmmm, where have we heard that kind of political mindset before?

9. Who in the HELL is Bill Clinton playing to???????
If you listen to Bill Clinton's rambling bullshit, you wonder what demographic he is addressing.

Obama supporters certainly know he's full of shit. Republicans certainly don't give a damn.

The Superdelegates are seasoned politicians who have experienced the Clinton slime up-close-and-personal. They
know very well what Bill Clinton is doing--even better than all of us in the cheap seats do.

So, what...is he preaching to Hillary supporters? Trying to curry sympathy?

No one is buying the whiny snake oil that he is selling.

I don't know who his audience is--because you'd have to be a moronic asshat to actually believe
what he is saying.

I guess Bill is targeting moronic asshats.

How much longer do we have to listen to this verbal toxic waste????

10. I don't think Superdelegates are his intended audience.
These paranoid delusions are being fed to Hillary's supporters (AKA "rubes")so they will keep sending money.

13. If anyone knows about bullying it is the Clinton team
Remember Carville's Judas remark about Bill Richardson?

14. I'm convinced that this is no longer about the SD's. This is about creating chaos
It's a Rovian trick that was played during Election 2000. I think the Clintons would be pleased if The Enablers started a riot at the convention. The Clintons and Rush Limpballs need to go and make a baby together and live happily ever after.

15. I think you're exactly right.

This is an appeal to all of those people that they've whipped into a frenzy by saying the party is trying to steal their votes.

And Clinton is EXPLICITLY saying that the party is trying to stop his wife from winning AND that the party KNOWS that she's the only person that CAN win.

So is he saying that the Democarats are trying to throw the election?

To what end, you crazy bastard, to what end?
