GET THE HELL OUT...please

For the last month and a half, pundits, party grandees and other people without much to do have been pondering why the Shrillda Beast refuses to step aside. If you can stand it, tune in for the first 20 minutes of Keith Olbermann (aka Bathtub Boy). He is among the most obsessed with the Beast’s exit. Every single night it seems Olby and crew add the numbers up and come to the same conclusion, she can’t win. So why does she persist?

Probably for the same reason Olby and the boys persist in pondering why she persists. Because she can and who knows maybe Rush Limbaugh will hand her a popular vote victory – counting FL and MI of course. This is my dream scenario. Then we could listen to (g)assbags like Olby twist themselves into knots trying to justify nominating B-HO, with fewer popular votes than Shillda, when they’ve been crying themselves to sleep every night since the 2000 election claiming AlGore won the popular vote.

Except for combat, NASCAR and other sports, I think bowing out gracefully and fighting to the absolute bitter end are equally admirable. Why not fight B-HO all the way to the convention? He’s already displayed a pension for poor judgment with regard to off-hand remarks and the people he chooses to associate with. Who knows what might crop up in the few remaining weeks? The beast might as well be in a position to collect the chips if ol’ B-HO folds late in the game.

Besides if she runs B-HO into the ground exposing his weaknesses in the primary, McCain can finish him off in Nov. That would allow a 64 year old Shrillda Beast a clear shot at the Dem nomination in 2012.

But I don’t get the obsession among the chatters about her getting out. If you want the Dem primary to be over, act like it’s over. It’d be a better approach to treat B-HO as the nominee and just ignore Shrillda - sort of like the MSM did after Iowa - than to endlessly chatter on and on about her calling atention to her cause.

Hey Ron Paul is still running against McCain. You don’t hear us whining like cut dogs. I’d have voted for him in the IN primary but my vote was much more important on the Dem side. Except for his goofy isolationism, there’s not too much I find disagreeable about Paul.
