Hillary's Michigan strategy in under a minute

This one's been making its way around the Web, and I just saw it again over at Daily Kos, so I thought I'd share it. It's pretty funny illustration of Hillary Clinton's stance on Michigan in under a minute.

Having said all that, I think the Democratic National Committee is making a big, BIG mistake by effectively disenfranchising voters in both Michigan and Florida because of some petty squabbles over those states' primary dates. In my estimation, this is a colossal miscalculation on the part of Howard Dean. And time is running out to fix it. The last thing the Democrats can afford is angering Democrats and moderates going into the fall election, because one thing is certain - Florida and Michigan will be must-wins for the Democratic Nominee to capture the White House.

The political death of 9iu11ani - sweet!

The Florida primary results are in, and all I can say is this: Two down, one to go.

Next up: Judas John McCain

Mike Huckabee is a political lightweight who has no hope of becoming president, and his religious fundamentalism is the last thing we need in the White House right now. I also have issues with Mitt Romney, but I'd take Romney or Huckabee over (Gasp!) President McCain.

However, I'm thrilled to death that the arrogant, disgusting and despicable 9-11 profiteer is out of the race. Not since Newt Gingrich, uh, Rick Santorum have I been so delighted at someone's political demise.

Here's hoping that McCain gets his political comeuppance, and soon. I heard him on Meet the Press over the weekend, and his hubris was breathtaking, specifically regarding the War in Iraq. He did everything but say "I told you so," regarding the surge escalation in Iraq. McCain would have licked himself all over if he could, which would no doubt have delighted Tim Russert.

As if the war in Iraq wasn't a big enough lie, now we have to endure warmongers like McCain declaring that victory in Iraq is not only possible, but probable. I hate trot out the Vietnam cliché, but it's apropos - McCain is merely another politician who is putting his political future and that of his party over the best interests of our country. I'm so sick to death of politicians like McCain and Joe Lieberman unwilling to accept the obvious - that we will not win in Iraq, and we are pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into a hole in the desert - all for the oil and to try and prove a political point.

Long after McCain is dead, we will be paying off Bush's War. And the last thing we need is a Bush clone in the White House, refusing to admit the obvious - that the costs of the war far outweigh any benefit.
