She can't have been fired for stupidity because, after watching her testimony on C-Span, I'm pretty sure her stupidity must have been obvious when they hired her. I'd even venture to say she was hired for two reasons: Stupidity and Malleability.

This will get to the point where Obama has 2024+ delegates and there is a single superdelegate left undecided. Hillary and her supporters will fight like crazy to get that superdelegate so they can claim she has momentum.
For Clinton supporters: This is a race, like a horserace. There are two horses in the race and one horse is way out front. It doesn't matter how much momentum the second horse has if the leading horse crosses the finish line first.

I feel about Hillary the way I feel about door-to-door salespeople. I want to say 'I've said I'm not interested in what you are selling. Now please just go away and leave me alone.'
I'd venture to guess others feel that way too.

All voters are not equal. Certain demographics are more important than others. It's true in TV ratings and it's true in politics.
Voters under 30 carry more weight that voters over 60 (I say this even though I'll be 60, sniff sniff, this year). The party wants to remain strong for many elections to come and to do that they need to bring in more and more fresh young voters.
That said, the party wants Obama, and my feeling is so do the superdelegates.

This is ridiculous. He doesn't need a big win in NC, she needs a big win in NC.
Unless you are saying he needs a big win or the Clintonistas will drive us crazy telling us she somehow has a chance. Now that would be a true statement.

Isolating oneself in a little bubble containing those only of like mind is never a good idea. By the way, DailyKos did not drive Clinton supporters out...they decided to boycott the site because it is predominately Obama supporters, many of whom are former Edwards, Richardson, Biden, Dodd and Kucinich supporters.
For those who only want to read anti-Obama stories, intermingled with the occasional pro-Clinton stories and nothing else, I suggest Hillaryis44 as an option.

Did he do that annoying little 'heh,heh' at the end? It grates on my nerves.

Or did he have a conflict of interest? Like maybe he was secretly waterboarding someone?
What scumbags Bush and his entire administration are.

No, that's not it. The revolutionary thing is Obama is teaching people all over the country in every state how to become citizen activists. He sends a team in to each state and they train the volunteers. Anyone who wants to can walk in and sign up. It's a terrific opportunity to learn how to work within the system and also how to change the system. The newly trained activists not only work for his campaign but they also work on Democratic down ticket races.
That's what his 50-state, boots on the ground campaign has done for this party. It's the best thing to happen to the Democratic party in my memory.
