Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Well, Denizens – tomorrow is The Big One&#153 for the Donktards.&#160 Tomorrow begins the 2008 Demoscummic National Convention.

Or, to be rather blunt about it, B. HUSSEIN!!!&#160 Obambi’s coronation as Lord Messiah of the Jackasses.

Now, in the spirit of bipartisanship&#160 (*cough*), I’d like to offer the Democratics some of My Eternal Wisdom&#153.&#160 Advice that doesn’t&#160 involve a vibrator, a vise clamp and a sulfuric acid enema (grin):

Donks.&#160 You are but days away from deciding whom you will throw send up as your candidate for President of the United States.&#160 This is one of the most important decisions many of you will face in your lifetimes.

But consider where you stand as of this moment, as you try to win back a White House that has been your party’s for only 12 of the last 40 years.&#160 The presumptive nominee, B. Hussein Obama, has seen what was once a 20-percentage-point lead in the polls shrink to two or three points; in some polls, he even trails John McCain by as many as five points.

He has just chosen a running mate, Joe Biden of Delaware, who has as much baggage as Paris Hilton on a good day.&#160 He is a known plagiarizer, a racist, a hothead, a stream-of-consciousness rambling buffoon – and while he may be somewhat knowledgeable concerning foreign policy, it’s a knowledge with a leftist worldview in most cases, which is flawed to begin with.&#160 The one foreign policy area where he seems to have his head on straight is in an area you despise – he voted for the Iraq war, in direct opposition to your nominee.

In fact, Senator Biden even questions Senator Obama’s fitness for the presidency – and I quote:

“If the Democrats think we’re going to be able to nominate someone who can win without that person being able to table unimpeachable credentials on national security and foreign policy, I think we’re making a tragic mistake…” (Sen. Joe Biden, “The Diane Rehm Show,” 8/2/07)

And again:

Biden Attacked Obama For Voting Against Funding U.S. Troops In Iraq And Afghanistan, Accusing Him Of “Cutting Off Support That Will Save The Lives Of Thousands Of American Troops.” Biden: “And, look, Tim [Russert&#160 -ED.], if you tell me I’ve got to take away this protection for these kids in order to win the election, some things aren’t worth it. Some things are worth losing over. That would be worth losing over. Hundreds of lives are being saved and will be saved by us sending these vehicles over which we are funding with this supplemental legislation. And I want to ask any of my other colleagues, would they, in fact, vote to cut off the money for those troops to protect them? That’s the right question. This isn’t cutting off the war. This is cutting off support that will save the lives of thousands of American troops.” (NBC’s “Meet The Press,” 9/9/07)

As it stands now, Donk delegates, your candidate is fighting a seriously uphill battle.&#160 Absent a catastrophic gaffe by John McCain – which, admittedly, is&#160 possible – Obama is going to lose this election, and it’s not going to be that close, either.

And this is with a conservative base that positively hates&#160 McCain.&#160 Imagine where you folks would be with an energized&#160 GOP base constituency.&#160 Which, I might point out, is not yet completely out of the realm of possibility.

In this scribe’s view, the Democratic Party has one chance…and only one chance…to even get a sniff&#160 of the White House come January 2009 – and that is this:

Nominate Hillary.

The Duchess (as I like to call her) is as close to the White House as your party has been in 40 years (with the exception of Carter, and many of us wonder if he was ever all there), having lived there for eight.&#160 Despite her status as First Lady, she was more than somewhat involved in the day-to-day operations of the government, including foreign policy.&#160 She understands, at least in part, the principle of the 3 a.m. phone call – unlike Obama, who apparently thinks 3 a.m. is only for sending cutesy little text messages.

She knows how to campaign, and she has the best chance of defeating McCain in November, regardless of what you all may believe.&#160 She is less likely to wither under pressure, and doesn’t need a teleprompter to speak to the American people – qualities that Obama has already shown he lacks in abundance.

There’s still time.&#160 The delegates are already committed, but the superdelegates, who can do whatever they want, regardless of how their state voted, are not yet so.&#160 It should still be possible to bend the ears of more than a few of them who had previously committed to Obama and put the fear of Cthulu in them.

Get to them.&#160 Bend those ears.&#160 Talk some sense into them.&#160 Make them vote for Hillary.

Do so, and you still have a chance to win the November general election.&#160 Fail, and you may not see the White House again in your lifetimes.

The choice is yours.&#160 Choose wisely.

UPDATE:&#160 One more thing I might point out to you guys:

By pulling that little 3 a.m. text message stunt, Obama added insult to injury to Hillary and her supporters.

Not only was she not chosen as running mate – she wasn’t even considered, apparently in direct contrast to what it seems she was promised – that being to at least be considered for the post.&#160 She wasn’t even vetted.

And then for Obama to pull that 3 a.m. stunt…

It should go without saying that supporters of Hillary right now are furious.&#160 They’ve taken to calling themselves “PUMA”s – Party Unity, My Ass.

Many of Hillary’s supporters are women.&#160 And Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

I’m just sayin’, that’s all.&#160 You guys have now been warned.

   You know, to some degree I kinda hope they do. The other clintoon actually listened to the polls, maybe she would too. Probably not, of course, but one can have little doubt she couldn’t be WORSE than the obamination.
