SubscribeHillary Loses 2 More Primaries - In Landslides
From an emotionally drained Associated Press:

Obama scores 10th straight victory
By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON - Barack Obama added Wisconsin and Hawaii to a primary season winning streak that now totals 10 and has put Hillary Rodham Clinton into a virtual must-win scenario in Democratic contests coming early next month in Texas and Ohio…
In a race growing increasingly negative, Obama cut deeply into Clinton’s political bedrock in Wisconsin, splitting the support of white women almost evenly with her. According to polling place interviews, he also ran well among working class voters in the blue collar battleground that was prelude to primaries in the larger industrial states of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Clinton made no mention of her defeat, and showed no sign of surrender in an appearance in Youngstown, Ohio…
In a clear sign of their relative standing in the race, most cable television networks abruptly cut away from coverage of Clinton’s rally when Obama began to speak in Texas…
With the votes counted in all but one of Wisconsin’s 3,570 precincts, Obama won 58 percent of the vote to 41 percent for Clinton.
With 100 percent of the vote counted in Hawaii, Obama had 76 percent to Clinton’s 24 percent.
Wisconsin offered 74 national convention delegates. There were 20 delegates at stake in Hawaii, where Obama spent much of his youth.
Washington Democrats voted in a primary, too, but their delegates were picked earlier in the month in caucuses won by Obama.
The Illinois senator’s Wisconsin victory left him with 1,303 delegates in The Associated Press’ count, compared with 1,233 for Clinton, a margin that masks his 145-delegate lead among those picked in primaries or caucuses. It takes 2,025 to win the nomination at the party’s national convention in Denver. Allocation of the 20 Hawaii delegates was not being calculated until later Wednesday…
Wisconsin independents cast about one-quarter of the ballots in the race between Obama and Clinton, and roughly 15 percent of the electorate were first-time voters, the survey at polling places said. Obama has run strongly among independents in earlier primaries, and among younger voters, and cited their support as evidence that he would make a stronger general election candidate in the fall…
And Wisconsin wasn’t just a win. At 58 to 41 percent, it was a landslide. And yet the word does not appear once in this article written by Mrs. Clinton’s minions at the AP.
And speaking of landslides:
With 100 percent of the vote counted in Hawaii, Obama had 76 percent to Clinton’s 24 percent.
Let’s hope Chelsea enjoyed her vacation on the campaign contributors’ dime.
Anyway, it is clear that Hillaryland is in disarray and hopelessly confused.
Why else would she be campaigning in New York, when they have already had their primary?

Of course the problem is if Hillary’s campaign really does go down in flames, we’ll be left with a choice between Mr. Wacko Nut Job Sound-Bite Platitudes and the liberal.
Alas, Obama is likely to be swept into office by those same folks who said “Hey, it can’t get worse” and swept Billy into his position of Federal fellatio twice.

(HILLARY) “Hey, Bill? Oh, Bill? It’s me, Hilllary. (sweetly) Where are you, Bill?”
(BILL) “Is that you, Hill? I didn’t hear you come in.”
(HILLARY) “Come here you sleaze-bag! (shrilly) Where the hell have you been? This campaign is in a shambles and you’re nowhere to be found! I should have known better than to listen to you. Things were going along OK a few weeks ago. Then I take your advice, fire the one bitch, and hire the other, and NOW look at the mess! ASSHOLE!”
(BILL) “Aww sweet-cheeks, things aren’t so bad. We’ve still got Ohio and Texas.”
(HILLARY, screaming) “You idiot! These blacks are deserting me faster than the French at a declaration-of-war conference! My only hope is the hispanics, and you tell me to fire the Mex bitch and hire the black felon. NICE MOVE, GENIUS!”
(BILL, soothingly, he hopes) Now, now, now, pumpkin-face snookums, don’t you fret. We still have plenty of time.”
(HILLARY, louder this time) “NO WE DON’T HAVE PLENTY OF TIME, YOU MORON!! Look what happened in Wisconsin! You’re supposed to go up there and convince those cheese-eating bastards to support ME! Instead, you let some piss-ant pro-life troll engage you in a debate about abortion. You have a hissy-fit with that little turd and completely show your ass! Then you pop the black-kid-Osamabama-supporter along the rope line! All I can say is, it’s a good thing you’ve got that secret service detail traveling with you all the time or I’D kick your f#%king ass! What were you doing up there, anyway? Sniffing around some UW college co-ed I suppose! (reaches for an ashtray) instead of doing what you’re told, you unfaithful pr*#k! One of these days I’m gonna…….”
(BILL, assuringly) “It’ll all work out alright Sugar-dumpling-thunder-thighs.
After Ohio and Texas it’ll be OK. Remember the Alamo.
(HILLARY, histerical now) “YOUSIMPLISTICSKIRT-CHASING WHORE-MONGERINGEGOTISTICALMORONSONOFABITCH! THE MEXICANS WON THE BATTLE OF THE ALAMO!
(BILL) “You know, Hill, maybe it’s time we talked to Jesus.”
(HILLARY, with a tinge of hoplessness creeping into her voice) “YOU DIP-SHIT! What on earth would our gardener know about running a presidential campaign? Ooooohhhh, I’m feeling faint….”
(BILL, creeping silently from the room) “I’ll get your medicine and a glass of water……..(muttering to himself, quietly) HMMM. She’s gonna be out for quite a while. What’d I do with that chicks……what was her name now…..Bambi, yeah, Bambi…..that’s it….what’d I do with Bambi’s phone number………”
Looks like the fat-lady’s warming up in the wings:-)

BillK;….”Mr. Wacko Nut Job Sound-Bite Platitudes and the liberal….”
Eventually Obama will have to speak to the issues with something substantive. Once (if) he does it would seem a target-rich environment given how much he talks and how little he really says. I do think he would be harder to beat than Hillary, but when you think that only six months ago practically no one gave the Republican party a snow ball’s chance in hell of winning in ‘08, the prospect doesn’t seem so far fetched. The opposition’s house is in disarray at this point. Either of them seem vulnerable to a well-run general campaign. Time will tell.

Poor Hillary, she is fast running out of options, time for plan B… CHEAT and clean up the mess later!

actually gibsonz - I am expecting (as someone here put it the other day) an Arkanciside - I am shocked that this has not devolved into Ms Clinton’s expertise of digging out the ’secret’ or the ’skeleton’ in B. Hussein Obama’s closet and planting it, oops having it plastered in the dnc propaganda machine, oops the msm.

Shrillary is toast after these two losses. She has to take OH and TX, get the MI and FL delegates seated and then take nearly all the super-delegates in order to challenge the Obamessiah. Not a likely scenario considering the current dysfunctional state of her campaign. Couldn’t happen to a nicer gal!!
You’re probably right Wardmama. Hildabeast is delving through her “101 Ways to Gut Obama” book, hoping for some divine intervention.
“Plane crash? No, we used that one on Brown, too obvious.”
“Suicide by gun? No, again too obvious. Damned FoxNews would bring up that d*ckweed, again.”
“Run over by train? Hmm? Worked in Arkansas? No, we better not, too backwoods-y.”
“Hey! This has hope, car wreck. Yeah! That’s it!! Hey Bimbo, get over here, we need to arrange a “Diana Special”!!
Actually, I’m with RushBo on this one. It ain’t over for Hillary until the house falls on her at the DNC.

“It ain’t over for Hillary until the house falls on her at the DNC.”
You’re right Gila Monster, it is the Klintoons after all!
Can ya’ll imagine what would happen if “plan B” did work? With all of the O-mentum going on ….there would be rioting in the streets. (France’s rioting x 100.)

texaspsue, I had to chuckle at the thought of Hillary in black shoes and striped leggins wearing a pointy hat. Next scene? Nothing but the shoes and leggins sticking out from under the house from Kansas with Todo (or should I say Zer-obama) chewing on her leg.
While the [mental] midgets of the U.S. following the yellow brick road trying to meet with the Wizard Zer-obama.
