TPM: Patrick Leahy Calls On Hillary To Drop Out Of Race   

Senator Patrick Leahy becomes the first prominent supporter of Obama to explicitly call on Hillary to get out of the race in an interview with Vermont Public Radio:

"There is no way that Senator Clinton is going to win enough delegates to get the nomination. She ought to withdraw and she ought to be backing Senator Obama. Now, obviously that's a decision that only she can make. Frankly I feel that she would have a tremendous career in the Senate."

Just yesterday, Chris Dodd, also an Obama backer, said something similar, suggesting that party leaders should come together in April and force an end to this.

Well, actually, there's some who think the Obamanation should be a man, and drop out, for the good of the Democrat party.  Messalina Agrippina's going to need a lot of time to heal some wounds, and every day that passes, that the Obamanation doesn't drop out, gives her less time.

It's a big bonfire.

4. He's not really talking to her
   
He's speaking to the uncommitted SDs and the media.

17. because it doesn't work that way, genius
   
try educating yourself on how inherent contempt works. There has to be a floor vote, and Leahy is not ML, just for starters. And Pat has the right to say whatever he pleases. Tough shit to anyone who doesn't like it.

43. bwahahaha
   
it's a hell of a team. And more impressive than crooked Murtha. Who to believe? Bigot posters on DU or Pat Leahy? That was easy.

Oh my.  The cali primitive, once a first-tier primitive but since demoted to third-tier primitivism, seems a little sour today.

Sigmund Freud would interpret that as subconscious fear and desperation.

It would seem that they sense what was once considered inevitible to them (a 50 state sweep,85 Senators and 350 Representatives) is slipping away.

Obigottio is just as far away from the nomination as the glacier.

You know, it mystifies me.

That's what the Obamanation isn't seeing.

The Obamanation is a few steps ahead of Messalina Agrippina, but there's miles to go yet.

It's the same thing as being half a block ahead in a marathon (21 miles), some time during the first mile.

I have no idea why the Obamanation thinks he's already won.

Hillary--although recently caught in a big lie--would be foolish to not court the superdelegates to overturn Obama's populist lead. With Obama facing Rezko-gate, the Wright Stuff, his lnks to the betroubled Massachusetts govenor, connections to the Weather Underground, etc a strong case could be made to the superdelegates, "OK, maybe I was caughht in a lie, but I've been caught in a lot of lies and have survived. This Obama fellow can't surivive this kind of scrutiny after the halo he painted for himself. If you want to have a chance at winning you have to appoint me."

The democrat/liberal playbook is being used internally....against the Queen.  The B-Hussein-O people are using Play #1033B - the one where the liberals pretend whatever they want to be true is already true, so it can be repeated over and over until it sticks in the mind of the masses.

The Queen is using Play #1A -  Never acknowledge defeat until it is absolutely undeniable, then claim to have been cheated out of victory.

[franksolich]

I dunno.

Maybe I'm given to fantasy, but I still think Messalina Agrippina's going to be the One.

Notice, please, where the Obamanation has "won"--states like Nebraska, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, whatnot.

States the Obamanation has no chance, no chance at all, of winning in November.

Notice, please, where Messalina Agrippina has won--states like Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts.

States with corrupt inner-city political machines that can create "votes" out of thin air.

If professional Democrats and liberals--it's too much to expect of the primitives--aren't looking at that, well then, they're overlooking a whole lot, including their key to possibly winning in November.

The Republican party's been through what the Democrats are going through now, and it's eminently reasonable to expect the Democrat experience to mirror ours.

I'm thinking of Nelson Rockefeller in 1964, with his endorsement of Barry Goldwater, but the aside comment, "I'm endorsing him, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm voting for him myself".....which took the wind out of those sails.  One expect if the Obamanation by some Divine Miracle gets the Democrat nomination, Messalina Agrippina will pull a Nelson Rockefeller, and that's going to cost the Obamanation some serious votes.

(Goldwater of course had no chance at all of winning in 1964, but if Rockefeller had been more enthusiastic about him, the loss might have been considerably less than it was.)

I'm also thinking of Ronald Reagan in 1976, with his endorsement of Gerald Ford.....but alas an endorsement that came w-a-a-a-a-a-y too late to be of much good.  I expect that might happen, if the Obamanation by some Divine Miracle gets the Democrat nomination; if it looks as if the Obamanation's going down, Democrat party loyalists and the inner-city machine bosses might twist Messalina Agrippina's arm really hard, really hard, getting her to endorse him.....on November 2, 2008.

I really want Messalina Agrippina to get the Democrat nomination for utterly selfish reasons; I predicted in March 2003 that Messalina Agrippina would be the One in 2008, and I s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o badly want to be proven right.

Very salient observations, Franky.

Alas...

If professional Democrats and liberals--it's too much to expect of the primitives--aren't looking at that, well then, they're overlooking a whole lot, including their key to possibly winning in November.

If they knew what was best for them they wouldn't be democrats.

Either the stupor-delegates throw to Hillary making selected-not-elected the banner that guts the democrat party from within or they follow the balloting and hoist an inexperienced crackpot to the national spotlight to lead their party to a crushing doom from with out.

Gawd, I'm loving it.

[franksolich]

You know, Mr. Snuggle Bunny, I'm loving it too; I'm having a great time.

A mere four months ago, who wudda thunk?

I don't think any of us expected this to be happening to the Democrats; in fact, I rather suspect many of us were worried it was going to happen to the Republicans.

There's a particular Great Joy to be found in living right now.

Coach, you're dead-on, and MSB is as well.  I never thought of it like you did in the post two above the one I'm quoting here.  Messalina, or more accurately, Bill controls the party machines.  If she doesn't get the nod, Bill will see to it that Obama loses enough votes to throw the election to McCain.

However, according to Bob Novak's column in today's New York Post, which is probably also available at Townhall.com, this year will be Messalina's only chance.  Supposedly, the Goracle is being primed for a 2012 run.  While I don't think he'd renounce his billion-dollar cash flow, nor debate the merits of glowball warming (yesterday, he said that those who deny man-made global warming are akin to those who said the Earth was flat), anything's possible.  In a presidential run, he would be forced to debate a stance he held dear, and he would get pasted.
