Democratic primaries will be held Wednesday our time in Oregon and Kentucky, which will respectively choose 52 and 51 delegates. Below is another race associated with the latter state, which this year ended with runner-up Eight Belles having to be put down*. Does the knackers’ yard beckon for a certain second-placed Democratic nag? Discuss.
* Unfortunately for my metaphor, Clinton in fact holds a handy 30.5 per cent lead in Kentucky, according to Real Clear Politics. Obama however leads by 12.4 per cent in Oregon.

William at 1848
OK, but that’s a shame, guess I’ll just have to take the bitch out the back and put her down. Whatever happened to the principal of waiting for the super delegates?
just replace ‘I really’ with ‘I’m really’
I just discovered a bad word!
Nice to see the debate moving on! LOL
Sad how the ’smart’ ones are holding on to the lost cause of Hillary and waiting for a bullet to revive her terminal chances.
Talk about desperation.
Move on kiddies, there’s nothing left to discuss here except how utterly wrong Gruffy, Eddy, Ron and the runt Finnster have been for months.
DEAD WRONG (excuse the allusion)
One simple word, wrong, says it all, and they’ve clung like drowning rats to a coconut adrift in the sea of possibilities that Obama was winning on every front.
Denial, pigheaded, or just naughty boys who need some attention?
Best I let you choose which one.
Or, maybe, just d!ckheads.
Yeah, that one will do for me.

Catrina
Definitely not.
Catrina @1850,
You like,”Ruff, ruff”?
For the blogoshere record:
The CAN NOT DISCUSS OBAMABOTIC BASKET:
Change ,yes we can …where is the detail ,
why does Obama refuse to agree to sign Kyoto (not what otherwise he promises
Obama’s ‘howard’ choice only Healthcare vs Hillary’s universal & % income cap
HRC vs BO electability by widespread state polling
key swing States comparisons HRC vs BO ,
psephological by state or poll ,
the Pastor (a non issue) ,
bittergater (a non issue) ,
why Obama’s delegate lead is solely on the back of 90%+ black votes ,
which Obama’s policys got 90%+ black vote for BO (democrat vs HRC democrat
why a majority of all whites , Hispanics & Asians vote for Hillary ,
FL & MI delegates be included , dismissed as it’s the rules despite all evid. #642
why from Texas to NC dele’s all moved to BO depite political commonsense re pastorgate , Oh & PA ,
Ignore Dr Carr & Mayor Koch’s advice of black desertion threats vs SD endors’s
have a black candidate but won’t talk black problems,
Where is the detail in Obama’s foreign policy, Israel,Ruwanda Darfur ,Burma ,Iran
Where is the economic policy ,% of oil dependence , foreign trade deficit & Debt
Why not talk about Obama’s association with the terrorist William Ayes , Rezko a fraud
Why the Obamabots argument the “best” Candidate is based solely on Obama winning by as low as ONE delegate (ie. BO 2209 delgates to HRC 2208 delegates) won as opposed to the “best’ candidate being the by far the most electable
Any additions
GG at 1856
Let’s just say I like my leather.
Welder’s Dog…I love that!
Canine welding goggles would be a good idea, but it’s obviously too late for some here, they’ve lost sight of what the debate is about ages ago.
Maybe we should just stop feeding them the crumbs, eh>
#1850 – i was right, it’s Catrina and Katrina. the same wicked blown-in
Catrina,
So does KR. He’s always trying to root my boot.
Unfortunately the Welder’s Dog is dead by William’s 1848 directive.
She will be missed.
*sniff*
Ron @ 1857….
you omitted to ask yourself a more pertinent question: why would any bludger take the trouble to try to persuade someone so obviously impervious to reason as you?
Never mind, Catrina. The blind still roam this blog.
This should be interesting. Our multiple personality bloggers are talking to each other.
blindoptimist at 1864
True, but the Welder’s Dog had such insight and a lot more character.
LOL
“Not so fast”
A group of supporters, gathered as WomenCount PAC, placed a full-page ad in today’s New York Times.
“Not so fast….Hillary’s voice is OUR voice, and she’s speaking for all of us,” the headline says.
They say in the ad that they “stand united in our unwavering support for Hillary Clinton.” “We know that when women vote, Democrats win. Now it is the responsibility of our party to hear our voices and count all of our votes. We want Hillary to stay in this race until every vote is cast, every vote is counted, and we know that our voices are heard.”

Do’nt think so Finns i think you may be arcing up the wrong tree there.
The Finns at 1867
I know – I agree – see my post at 1867.
One day this week Obama will receive enough SD endorsements to be within 30 or 35 votes of achieving the 2025 target. The final round of voting on 3 June will elevate him above this line. The push to victory will come from the votes of the people and the cry will go up around the country: “All the people have spoken! We have our nominee and we have our leader. Change is coming to America!”
Not long now, not long. And when the moment comes, America will rejoice.
#1866 – Katrina – haven’t you done enough damages to the people of New Orleans?
and tonights rock award goes to blindoptimist at 1870
Lol, Catrina. I lack insight, foresight and hindsight; and am therefore in permanent need of a blind dog.
blindoptimist at 1873
you had better talk to William – only he can bring her back to life
Yes the slightly crazy part of Catrina has been in conflict with the totally crazy part.
Kirri you should be pleased – your still no 1 loon after all!
…bows to Catrina…your maths and my optimism make victory inevitable…
*smile*
Katrina, the Ukrainians have just sang a song about you in the Eurovision, it’s called the “Shady Lady”
William takes a firm line with dogs, butterflies and other bludging fauna. He is obviously a serious-minded blog master. No quick-changes, no fancy-dress, no marching bands, clowns or masquerade. It seems we have to leave that to the real pollies….
hmmmm…..1879…a very good year for the underdog
or was it 1789…my eyes are not what they should be

Edward StJohn
Eddy, my money has been on Obama for months, and McCain.
I win.
You lose.
You’re probably used to it though. Didn’t you bang on about Howard ad nauseum, eh?
Sad old monarchist, dribbling and incontinent.
Current Intrade odds for Dems as a map.
http://possumcomitatus.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/intradeuselection25may2008.jpg
Light blue=50-59% implied probability of a Dem victory in State
Mid Blue =60-69% implied probability of a Dem victory in State
Dark Blue =70+% implied probability of a Dem victory in State
Current Dem Electoral Votes projected based on Intrade implied probabilities= 289
Intrade and the polls are having some serious disagreements at the moment. They did the same in 2004 and the polls were wrong, Intrade was spot on.
For those that may have forgot – this has an inbuilt implied probability of an Obama nomination of 92%
Thanks Possum. The welcome application of mathematics to conjecture….and the winner is: the good guys!
Oops – I left off Hawaii and Alaska (Tassie syndrome – Oh Noes!)
Hawaii has an implied probability of a Dem victory of over 96%
Alaska has it for the Repubs at 90%
Catrina, bugger, I was just fluxing up there, if not arking?!?!?
‘nondestructive examination (NDE) and nondestructive inspection (NDI), is testing that does not destroy the test object’ eg ron Ron & Potty!
But generates much mirth; and scores a political point.

I hate you with a passion…
That’s chapter three of The #’s A Black & White Coloured Review F&cked. Thanksa a lot!…
Anyone know of any half decent geospacial stats mapping software that doesnt require learning yet another damn programming language?
I’m using Systat at the moment – but life’s too short to stuff around with it unless one absolutely has to.
codger,
As the resident underpants sniffer, I am sure you are fluxed up.
If this eventuates. You Obamabots here are totally responsible for this debacle.

Kirri I dont really give 2 hoots about your money, its your mouth thats the problem.
Multiple isms dont constitute an argument, I think it was as long ago as Thursday for instance you were trying to make your argument (or really point as argument implies logic) by reference to homophobic attacks on other posters.
To raise the standard of the discussion, I will risk being labelled, yet again, as an obnoxious pretentious intellectual snob. I can’t help myself. This quotation is so perfect.
“Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: ??????? ?? ?????? ; respondebat illa: ????????? ????.”

Edward StJohn
In your imagination Eddy
Go on, instead of just doing what you ALWAYS do, go and find the posts.
Otherwise, shut up.
You are really an old boring fart aren’t you? You have to invent some imagined ‘injustice’ to rage against.
You did it once before and came seriously a cropper. Now you are doing it again,
Unconscionable, but perfectly consistent.
Diogenes – I think our ‘Sybil’ is going to die whether she wants to or not.
God that sucks!! All those fu#king ancient Greek letters and they translate into ??? ?????
The first line id “Sibyl, Sibyl, what do you wish for?” The second line is “I would that I were dead.”
Possum,
There’s the ProHart model. Throw paint and stuff on a canvas and then roll about with yesterdays printouts. If the results are no good, sell it as Art. Guarantee you won’t need to learn anything.

#1796
The Obamabot looney left here betrayed all democratic principles by saying NO FL & MI delegates be admitted , despite 2.3 million people lawfully voting.
My #642 post not only with sources declared proved Obama’s active campaigning in FL & MI but demonstrated why a Suptrem court challenge on equity & civil rights grounds would likely succeed supporting the 2.3 million people against the DNC’s non democratic and discrimatory (IA & NH) application of rules. All 50 states can pass their own laws re when a primary must be held rendering NH’s impotent so the Supreme Court would laugh at NH’s
Now you come out with a post ascribing votes on Exit Polls with all buts ifs & maybe’s , a basis so foolish that would not be accepted in any country in the world The votes must be counted as they were democratically made.
Obamabots having trashed all democratic principles , now wish to prostitute the 2.3 million votes actually legally cast by a rorting the delegate numbers won from them using the ‘black desertion intimiation at the Dems rules meeting on 31/5/08(Not sure Ghost is you are an Obamabot or an ObamaRealist)
FINNS for your forensic records as some loopy Obamabot will raise this in the future total MI votes 594, 401 all legally checked off on records , Hillary won 55.23% , Obama & Edwards combined 40.07% and 3 other candidates combined 4.70%. I’ve applied a stistical model to breakup Obama & Edwards votes. do you need any more info at this stage
Yes Kirri, I do believe anyone who cares to check will find you were referring to Ron and one other poster as lovers. I dont really think I need to excavate your actual turd to prove the point do I ?
Finns – campaign strategists say those type of things.Remember in May last year we had an acute bout of leaking for the Libs along the same lines? Then come September those same anonymous strategists were regaling us with tales of how the Libs could win with just 48% of the vote, and increase their majority with just 50%?
We know how that turned out. I empathise with the Clinton supporters, it’s a shit sandwich when your preferred candidate is looking down both barrels – but that sort of “some anonymous Republican secret squirrel reckons….” type stuff is just propaganda of the silliest kind.
All of the data says that those guys are whistling dixie, from the massacre in the recent district contests, through to the howls of “we’ll be rooned” from major Repub figures right through to the betting markets.
Diog, you mean like the FARC is now FCUK. well, i suppose they were FCUK from the beginning with a name like FARC.

btw; the Russians are now singing Cat Stevens “Wild World” in the Eurovision.

Great film, but it had subtitles.
Can you do the same?
