Ok, PUMAs. Get your wrasselin' clothes on!
I am going to personally wrassle every last one of you PUMA mofos who votes for McCain because Hilary lost the election.
That's right - Hilary lost. It wasn't stolen from her, it wasn't taken from her because she was a woman. She didn't run the right campaign, and she lost. If you don't believe me, read this: http://www.politico.com/relentless/.
In 2000, I was a Bill Bradley guy. I was sick and tired of the Clinton policys - the centrist DLC positions were, in MY opinion destined for failure. At the time, Gore was very much a continuation of those policies, and I wasn't a fan. Then Bradley lost. And I voted for Gore.
I voted for Gore because he would have been a billion times better than Bush. It was evitdent in 2000 that Bush would not make a competent president, and that Gore would be compentent if uninspiring.
Then - and I bet a lot of Hilary supporters join me in believing this - Nader got in, and Gore ended up losing largely because of Nader. Lots of people - myself included - blamed Nader. Lots of PUMAs blamed Nader.
Now, because it's the horse THEY are backing, PUMAs are threatening to vote for McCain. They can't get over their petty little egos, hold their nose, and vote for Obama, because he was not their first choice.
Get. the fuck. over it.
However you feel about Obama, if you are a Democrat, you have to believe that he will be a damn sight better than McCain. Still, the PUMAs will vote McCain, and try to take others down with them because they are babies. Whiny, poopy-pantsed babies.
So, PUMAs: If you vote for McCain, you best be ready to wrestle because I am on the turnbuckle and my flying elbow is coming down on your head.

Delegate Math 101
For those in the Clinton camp who might have been napping through this subject, I will break it down.
Current delegate count - Clinton: 1719, Obama: 1918
May 20th Elections - Even if we're generous and assume that Clinton wins Kentucky by 40, and only loses Oregon by say 12, that puts the count at Clinton: 1778, Obama: 1918
June 1st Election - Again, we'll be super generous and give Clinton a 40 point victory in Puerto Rico. Delegate count Clinton: 1816, Obama: 1979
June 3rd Elections - No one really has any clue how these are going to go (because there's only 31 delegates at stake, so no one really cares). Let's again assume that Clinton's in-debt campaign manages to magically eek out a 20 point win in both Montana and South Dakota. Clinton: 1834, Obama: 1918
With the elections over, this leaves the remaining 215 superdelegates to decide the race. Since the magic number is 2026, this means Obama only needs to get 34 of the 215 supers, or a mere 16%, to clinch the nomination. Since February, Obama has been winning superdelegates at a ratio of 3.25:1 over Clinton.
Game over.
My favorite political video so far.
My friend Alex made this.

delegates - you gotta catch them all!
Obama Won Texas
"If Clinton wins the nomination by convincing superdelegates to overthrow Obama's lead among pledged delegates, it will represent a subversion of the popular will." Like THAT hasn't happened before, EVER.
This is another reason why I will never be able to vote for Hillary Clinton
Not in the general, not in a primary.
She plays on fear. She is using the same "Terror Alert" tactics of the early 2000s that justified the wars we are still in. It sickens me.
