Clinton's "Huge" Pennsylvania Win...

...netted her a total of nine delegates.

















But a horse race is a horse race according to the MSM. So after six very long weeks, all the negative ads, all the "scandal", all the untold millions of dollars spent have amounted to Clinton gaining nine delegates and "Johm McSame" coasting along without so much as a blip, even though the "Maverick" has rejected the new GI bill, agreed with George W. Bush's veto on expanding children's health insurance (SCHIP), claims pride in John Hagee's endorsement and has the temerity to equate his run for the White House to the struggling citizens of Youngstown, Ohio that have been decimated by free trade and are losing jobs, homes and fighting to put food on their tables.

Nine delegates.


UPDATE: Clinton's camp is now saying that they've won more popular votes than Obama. Not only are they trying to change the rules of the game by disregarding the importance of pledged delegates and trying to persuade superdelegates that the popular vote should be the main criteria, but even this lie is with the caveat of including Florida's and Michigan's votes, where Obama didn't campaign as the DNC requested, or in the case of Michigan, his name wasn't even on the fucking ballot (also as the DNC requested)!

How can anyone support this kind of shit?

Progress In Iraq

General David Petraeus:

"I've repeatedly noted that we haven't turned any corners, we haven't seen any lights at the end of the tunnel. The champagne bottle has been pushed to the back of the refrigerator. And the progress, while real, is fragile and is reversible."
Please tell me again how the surge has worked and how everything is going well in Iraq. Wait, I'll let "Johm" McCain tell me:

"...while the job of bringing security to Iraq is not finished, as the recent fighting in Basra and elsewhere vividly demonstrated, we're no longer staring into the abyss of defeat and we can now look ahead to the genuine prospect of success. Success, the establishment of a peaceful, stable, prosperous, democratic state that poses no threats to its neighbors and contributes to the defeat of terrorists, this success is within reach."
So according to Petraeus we "haven't turned any corners" and "haven't seen any lights at the end of the tunnel" and the progress is "fragile and reversible," while Mr. Straight Talk thinks "success is within reach." This man is definitely going off the deep end, while conflating Al-Qaeda in Iraq with Iran and Shiites again!

Altogether now: Al-Qaeda in Iraq is a small obscure extremist SUNNI sect, right Johm?

MCCAIN: There are numerous threats to security in Iraq and the future of Iraq. Do you still view Al Qaeda in Iraq as a major threat?

PETRAEUS: It is still a major threat, though it is certainly not as major a threat as it was, say, 15 months ago.

MCCAIN: Certainly not an obscure sect of the Shiites overall…

PETRAEUS: No.

MCCAIN:
… or Sunnis or anybody else.

...Sigh...
