I know it’s hard for others to understand, but Clinton is and was an outsider, and Obama was the insider in this match-up. He had the machine support, while she had individual support. She when for the big early win and it didn’t work, so she had to slog it out.

Her original campaign staff didn’t do a good job figuring out what Obama was doing, so they lost delegates in states where they won the most votes.

If you look at the Iowa results, Edwards came in second, but got the fewest delegates, because it is based on where the votes were as much as how many there were.

Based on the performance of the current Democratic Congress, I don’t the Presidency is going to make a lot of difference – we are screwed.

It’s quite possible he was played by his sources. But it seems to be happening a lot during the past year. I would have thought that by now someone of his intelligence and background would have figured that out by now. He seems very much a willing participant in the GOP style deception I see becoming a part of the left side of the political spectrum. Perhaps he and others that are becoming the LGF, Powerline, etc of the left blogsphere have decided to use *if you can’t beat them fairly, join them* argument. Hillary lost in big part because of this kind of campaign and the *help* people like Larry ‘s blog gave her campaign.

On the plus side, it may have a positive consequence they didn’t plan for. Obama seems to be pissed and has some balls. 🙂 After a wobbly start, he seems to have learned some valuable lessons rather quickly. Which is more than I can say for Hillary and her extreme *boots and all* supporters. 🙂 Obama didn’t defeat Hillary, Hillary and her *friends* defeated Hillary. Life really is a bitch. LOL

I have no idea why Larry (and so many others) is playing the game he’s playing, or what his goal is, I only know that using the Rove playbook only helps the GOP.

Obama has the right idea. I hope he is able to make it work. 🙂 Larry and others would best use their energy ensuring that Obama has the best chance possible of winning the Presidency. Of course, there is always the possibility they don’t want a black Prez either. 😉 Who knows? 🙂 Whatever Larry’s reasons for trying to weaken Obama’s chances, sour grapes and hissy fits are the last thing America needs right now. I would have thought that by this time, people would much prefer a bit of sanity and some common sense to prevail. I love the way these hypocrites try to make Obama out to be *divisive* when the facts prove that they are the ones causing the devisions. 🙂

“Stupid is as stupid does!” 😉 LOL

I think Larry was “played” by his sources, and if something doesn’t turn up, he should expose them as liars, rather than “protecting” them. Everyone needs to know who the liars are.

Getting played is bad luck – refusing to admit it is stupid.

Definitely way past time for a new party! But good luck with that. 😉

I read an article about Obama a week ago that was interesting. It even mentions our old *friend* (no longer in the land of the sane) Larry, and not positively. I guess his consulting business is going well in Washington.

Will Obama’s Anti-Rumor Plan Work?

…
According to campaign officials, what finally launched Obama into a full rumor counteroffensive was a story that apparently first made a big splash on the Internet in late May in a post by pro-Hillary Clinton blogger Larry Johnson. Quoting “someone in touch with a senior Republican,” Johnson claimed that there was a video of Michelle Obama “blasting ‘whitey’ during a rant at Jeremiah Wright’s church.” (Later versions of the rumor had Michelle’s “rant” happening at a Rainbow/PUSH Coalition conference.) No such videotape has surfaced.
…

Funny how that happens when you hop on the rumormonger treadmill, instead of actually using facts. I guess Larry & co have decided to go back to being Repugs.
Of course, being ex-CIA doesn’t give him much room for excuse.
