		<description>Does this sound like a woman getting ready to bail? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Quote: “Tomorrow is the last day of the primaries and the beginning of a new phase in the campaign. After South Dakota and Montana vote I will lead in the popular vote and Senator Obama will lead in the delegate count. The voters will have voted and so the decision will fall to the delegates empowered to vote at the Democratic Convention.”</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;nquest,&lt;br/&gt;You seem to speak of the concerns of blacks in monolithic terms.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;S, you ARE a stupid mf scramblin&#039;, trying to find a point like a starved squirrel trying to find a nut.  What that you say?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Monolith??&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You&#039;re the &quot;your party&quot; mf who throws that sh*t out like the old standard &quot;you people.&quot; So stop trying to project your f-ck ups on me.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;How the hell you&#039;re going to try to pin some &quot;monolith&quot; stuff on me when I stated how I guess you&#039;re not a BOOKERISTA? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;BOOKERISTA = people who are, per the Booker Rising blog, &quot;black moderates and black conservatives.&quot;  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I also mentioned Black Republicans Lynn Swann and &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.wayneperryman.com/&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wayne Perryman&lt;/a&gt;, the author of the book Unfounded Loyalty: An In-Depth Look Into The Love Affair Between Blacks and Democrats.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Those things and the very explicit fact that I used the phrase &quot;THE BLACK POLITICAL CONSENSUS&quot; makes your statement fraudulent and questions like this:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do all black people have the same political priorities?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Utterly STUPID and baseless!

<p>Monolith??</p>
<p>You&#8217;re the &#8220;your party&#8221; mf who throws that sh*t out like the old standard &#8220;you people.&#8221; So stop trying to project your f-ck ups on me.</p>
<p>How the hell you&#8217;re going to try to pin some &#8220;monolith&#8221; stuff on me when I stated how I guess you&#8217;re not a BOOKERISTA? </p>
<p>BOOKERISTA = people who are, per the Booker Rising blog, &#8220;black moderates and black conservatives.&#8221;  </p>
<p>I also mentioned Black Republicans Lynn Swann and <a HREF="http://www.wayneperryman.com/" REL="nofollow">Wayne Perryman</a>, the author of the book Unfounded Loyalty: An In-Depth Look Into The Love Affair Between Blacks and Democrats.  </p>
<p>Those things and the very explicit fact that I used the phrase &#8220;THE BLACK POLITICAL CONSENSUS&#8221; makes your statement fraudulent and questions like this:</p>

		<description>Ben Smith @ politico.com:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A Clinton donor tells me that on a conference call today with major fundraisers this afternoon, Harold Ickes told them Clinton isn&#039;t planning to drop out. He pressed donors to stay unified, and reviewed tactical options, including challenging the Michigan delegation.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;State finance committees are also circulating letters to deliver to Clinton tomorrow in New York, and I&#039;ve obtained a draft of the Illinois finance committee&#039;s letter, being circulated by a Clinton fundraising aide, Rafi Jafri, which stresses a fight until the convention, and a resolution in &quot;August, and no earlier.&quot;</description>

		<description>In a year that for historical and contemporary reasons should be a Democratic shoo-in, the Democrats have nominated about the only candidate who can lose in November.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Why?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I just don’t see how such an inexperienced candidate can rein in his wife, curb his own slips, monitor all of his past dubious role models, and avoid the growing divide between utopian rhetoric and pretty &#039;typical politician&#039; tactics and embarrassing past associations. And I don’t think he has yet to figure out that Republican and independents&#039; unhappiness with Bush’s spending, appointments, and inability to articulate a message, and defend himself does not really equate to a desire for billions in new taxes and unworkable new programs.</description>

		<description>Val,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hi.  Barack deserves to be able to declare victory.  If he doesn&#039;t reach the number by tomorrow, he might not get that chance.  Really, should the Superdelegates be making all their decisions based on what Hillary and her supporters will think?</description>

		<description>Ed said a either a (Senator or aide) told him that they can&#039;t leave Bill in a hotel lobby by himself.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So, it&#039;s the night before the last primaries for Obama and Hillary, and what is the MSM talking about?  BILL!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&#039;s becoming apparent the Clinton&#039;s haven&#039;t been vetted.  The GOP had no idea on how to attack Obama until Hillary showed them how.  Republicans would be so happy to have Hillary on the ticket!  They&#039;d use Billary to take him down.</description>

		<description>Hi Truthseeker - I watched MSNBC tonight and they discussed the superdelegates trickle.  It was said they want to let the primary run it&#039;s course so there would be nothing else for Hillary and her supporters to dispute.</description>

		<description>Ed Schulz is throwing down on Larry King.  Everybody talks about Hillary getting respect.  What about Barack&#039;s respect for running a masterful campaign?  He is so far ahead, he can afford to stop competing with her for the last 4 contests and turn his full attention to McCain.  But here&#039;s Kiki and co. on Larry King talking about the last 2 contests.  I suppose they&#039;re emboldened by the SD&#039;s not coming out in force today.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Where the f*ck are the superdelegates??!</description>

		<description>Hilary Rosen is on Campbell Brown saying Hillary has lists of SD and she&#039;ll be in NY tomorrow calling them because she wants them to personally justify the decision they&#039;re about to make.(paraphrasing)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So I guess she&#039;ll try to intimidate them from coming out for Barack tomorrow.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Gloria Borger, Hilary Rosen and Campbell are asking Roland(sole male and black) why Obama is limping across the finish line.  Roland explains that some states are tailor-made for certain candidates.  No one questioned why Hillary did so poorly in States Obama won blow-outs in.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It felt like a set up of the 3 white women.  Of course, they had to show a clip of Pfleger.  I wonder if they notice that Pfleger is white?  They always seem put out by the congregation cheering in the background but not so much by Pfleger himself.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Despite all the preparations to the contrary.  Hillary is not entirely done fighting.  She will browbeat the SD&#039;s right to the last second.   She can&#039;t convince them to endorse her, but she&#039;ll try to prevent them from coming out for Barack and delay his victory.</description>

		<description>d, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;fiscally liberal. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;d, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I also don&#039;t think I&#039;m an oddity. Black folk are the most conservative - socially - portion of the Democratic Party. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is my position on guns, and a lot of the Black folk I talk to agree.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;m not for taking anyone else&#039;s LEGAL guns from them.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I just want to know why these legal gun owners allow the scumbags to hide behind them and pimp them the way that they do, by hiding behind the mirage that if you have some registration of firearms, the world will come to an end. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am against semi-automatic weapons though. The only point of them is to kill a whole lot of people. Only law enforcement should be able to have them. Anyone who pretends that they need them for hunting is a LIAR, because you wouldn&#039;t kill an animal with such a messy weapon.</description>
