ABC Does Obama a Favor!

As shoddy and biased the debate was, It's All Out There Now On National TV! Flag pin, Rev. Wright, Elitist, 60's radicals. Hmm.. Is that all?? Someone Check with Sean Hannity to make sure.. Ole Ole Outs in Free!!

So ABC basically says to the Super Delegates, this is how it's gonna be because,, Y'all Are To Freak'n Weak To End This Thing!

Slammed by ABC and Piled on by Hillary, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But 50 minutes of a commercial filled 90 minutes, on crap should be a loud message to Democratic Leaders that this primary has become a Farce.

We'll see if Obama can get the sympathy vote like Hillary did after the New Hampshire debate.

Democrats can't have discussions on important issues by talking to ourselves. Until she is shoved out, we can't Move-On.

DON'T BLAME ABC, IT'S THE SUPER DELEGATES STUPID!

It's only gonna get worse..

    •  Actually,

      it has become a tiresome cliche by now. Even an idiot like Bruce Willis used it as a CD title.

      It's also usually misquoted. Nietzsche actually wrote: That which fails to kill me makes me stronger. Indicating clear intent to kill.

•  Obama won

  Clinton conceded that Obama would win the general
  election and threw her electibility argument out
  the window.

  •  Absolutely So..

    She hasn't been able to leave the race she wants to be shoved out.. So the Supers need to do it...

    At this point the Supers have to ask themselves "Is it more damaging for the primary to continue or shoving her out". The sooner the better I say!!

  I never quite believed that.

    won't kill you (by itself, anyway) and it definitely won't make stronger.

•  There is no end to their questions

  Next week they will dig up another relationship that Obama had with someone thirty years ago who will cast doubt on his character.  There's no end to it.  Only an end to the media drivel, hopefully.

  •  Well, yeah ...

    dig up another relationship that Obama had with someone thirty years ago who will cast doubt on his character

    To paraphrase the sig line of another poster in dKos, Obama is responsible for everything said by anyone he has ever met.

•  very good point

  I think that you are right on both of your major points. If I was HRC I would be dreading the blowback from this one, there is definitely a ssympathy vote out there.

    by Blue Texas on Thu Apr 17, 2008 at 05:17:30 AM PDT

•   this could be interesting

  It appeared to me that Obama was being attacked by Clinton and the moderators, it  was over  the top and unfair, he may get some sympathy votes but I don`t believe it will help Hillary.
  It appeared that ABC was trying to destroy Obama for the GE, seems accepeted that he will be the nominee.

  •  Prodding for weakness

    I think the questions were an execrable waste of time, but I don't think most in the media are as stretgivally minded as folks here often credit them with being.

    Blood in the arena will draw gawkers. So they'll prick him and see if he bleeds. That he withstands such slings and arrows while barely sseming to suffer at all makes him a more compelling character; either as an invincible hero or as one who will be brought down in even bigger spectacle at a later date.

•  Very intersting from Mark Halperin

  http://thepage.time.com/...

  : The Obama campaign tells Stephanopoulos that "prominent Pennsylvania supporters" will switch their support from Clinton to Obama Thursday morning due to Clinton’s negativity.

  I can't wait to see what that's about!

  by Bob Sackamento on Thu Apr 17, 2008 at 05:14:50 AM PDT

  •  Can't wait to see this happen :-)

    I just don't know what to say about last night. I didn't watch, but kept up in the debates threads here. Whether we like it or not, this will be the tone of the campaign going into November and a bright side to this is that at least it's being done now and Obama can better prepare himself for what's ahead. I view this as a test run.

    I hope he's right. But he is still scum.

•  The Super Delegates are cowards

  That's why eery time the DNC sends me a solcitation for money, I respond by telling them not a dime until there is a nominee.

  NO MORE MONEY UNTIL A NOMINEE!!

  •  Huh?

    No more money to what or who?   Make sense man.

    •  To the DNC!

      Time for the Leaders of the party to do thier job.

      •  Oh. I thought you were talking about

        Obama, hence my confusion.

        by Delaware Dem on Thu Apr 17, 2008 at 06:13:34 AM PDT

•  No, I will blame ABC.

  The Superdelegates did not host the debate last night, did they?

  by Delaware Dem on Thu Apr 17, 2008 at 05:19:54 AM PDT

  •  I don't believe you can have

    such a shockingly biased "debate" without knowing it,, So did George just go around to Right Wing Talk and say "what issues do you want me to bring up" to help Hillary or

    To Show How Stupid it is for this primary to still be going on.. In fact prior to getting started the moderators joked about how long the primary has continued..

    It's a joke that Sean Hannity has brought up the Weather Underground,

    We have our Nominee and it ain't Hillary!

    by Blue Texas on Thu Apr 17, 2008 at 05:29:13 AM PDT

•  He has picked up 5 super-delegates in the past

  24 hours. 5. That's been lost somehow and is one of the quickest spate of endorsements for some time. I get the feeling the move is on to shut this thing down.  Also the rumor mill has it (though rumor only at this stage) that some PA SDs are going to switch to Obama today as a result of the negativity of the Clinton campaign. Unconfirmed at this stage, but this could be some very welcome good news.

•  To superdelegates:ENDORSE OBAMA NOW!

  Its time for Hillary to go home and end her travesty to the party!!!!

  by marsbardem on Thu Apr 17, 2008 at 05:29:56 AM PDT

•  Time for Hundreds to make the call..

  it's time for Obama to stick in the shiv and end this thing.. There is something said for having the 'killer instinct' when it comes to campaigning...

  he star in the 1922 "Nosferatu" movie?

  Gawd what a hiddious photo MSNBC has of him..

  by Blue Texas on Thu Apr 17, 2008 at 05:49:56 AM PDT

•  I wrote a diary on this too. SDs should

  endorse or be subjected to a harsh brain examination

•  Reading Drudge,,

  Something I noticed last night but did not comment on.. How many times ABC showed Chelsea, and Wes Clark, Hillary supporters.. I can't remember one time ABC showed a Obama supporter in the audiance..
