Hardball: Drama vs Delegates
Chris Matthews is well known for his creepiness, unintelligible ranting, mancrushes and general hackery, but he's really gone off the deep end during this primary season. On Thursday's Hardball, he talks with MSNBC's Pat Buchanan, Dana Milbank and Maria Teresa Petersen of Voto Latino about the upcoming Pennsylvania primary -- see if you can follow the bouncing ball.

Matthews says that Obama has an advantage, but asks if the "drama" surrounding Clinton's victories earlier this week will be the deciding factor. He has more medals, but she has more gold medals. He then says that as the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton isn't a risk, but Obama is a "roll of the dice" -- then goes on to say that the primary in PA is all about the south east part of the state with lots of educated people from the suburbs which bodes well for Obama -- his breakdown of PA and all the different ethnic, religious and educational demographics is incoherent at best and toward the end he leans in to Pat Buchanan and tells him he ought to grow his beard out and go in and talk tough to the people of Philadelphia because they're old school and he'd fit right in. WTF?
MSNBC needs to give Matthews some time off, and I mean that sincerely. I realize that job isn't the easiest in the world and he's been keeping a hectic schedule during the primary season, but Chris is, even by his own mind numbing standards, starting to lose it and he won't always have Keith Olbermann there to save him from himself.
Timmeh needs time off... FIRST!
hell, if tweety's on the verge of a breakdown live on the teevee, i might just have to tune back in to hardball to witness it for my own damn self.
he and the entire fucking crew at msnbc are as corrupt in their distortions, lies and unending smears against democrats, but esp their anything goes attitude toward hillary clinton.
next up, i wanna see fat russert blow.

Best thing I read all day. I think I will never buy a GE product again. MSNBC is the worst!!!
he's manic
"Chris Matthews is well known for his creepiness, unintelligible ranting, mancrushes and general hackery, but he’s really gone off the deep end during this primary season."...
and C&L's is gonna give this man as much attention as possible. We don't care about Chris Matthews... maybe its just me.
In case you missed it Hillary Clinton endorsed McCain over Obama once again. She's starting to sound more like Bush everyday.
In a Cabinet-style setting, surrounded by retired military leaders, Sen. Hillary Clinton said the public should ask whether Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama has met the criteria needed to become the nation’s commander in chief.
“I think that since we now know Sen. (John) McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. And I think it’s imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold,” the New York senator told reporters crowded into an infant’s bedroom-sized hotel conference room in Washington.
“I believe that I’ve done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you’ll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy,” she said.
This is the last straw for me . I was willing to vote for her (holding my nose) should she eventually win the nomination but after to days statement I will sit out the Presidential election rather then vote for someone willing to torpedo the Dems to further her personal ambition. Screw her.
It's his last season. Even shit gets old.
He has been reduced to chattering jaws, to wind-up plastic teeth.
The glory days are over. McCain't is the Pirate Band-Aid on the oozing bubo of Bushco.
They are two hollowed out, rotting George Bush scarecrows; road kills with no ratings. Pull my finger, Chris.
over inflated ego+lack of sleep+political innuendoes= Tweety
and to think,he worked for Tip O'Niell.
make ya wonder don't it?
bobswire @ 6:
Don't get so hot about the next Vice-President. It's not like the last one was worse. Even as she is, she is a vast improvement over Dick.
grand Marnier @ 3:
You're paying for billions in GE products even if you never buy one yourself.
Matthews has completely looned out. it's been a while now since I stopped watching him but he seems to have gotten even crazier with time.
I don't watch him , except for clips like this..he is offensive, irrational.....it's like he needs meds....and yes, the primary nights- if Keith was not there , WHO knows what would happen....( I know I would not watch except for Keith....). It's not fair Shuster was suspended, but Tweety waxes crazy every day.....
Paul in LA @ 9:
Obama will not choose her, she will do him more harm than good in a general election.
Check out Olbermans show tonight. He brought up all the crap she has said about Obama and called her another JOE LIEBERMAN. One of the guests on the show said the only thing missing is the "Bush Kiss". And she might get around to that.
I had thought I too would vote for her in the general if she got the nomination, but am beginning to have second thoughts about it.
Sure Matthews is a little off the rails, but that's how he always is. Can anyone really tell if he's worse now...? Man-o-man that Maria Teresa Petersen is hot.
Mathews is the passive-aggressive wing of the fourth estate. Would be nice if he'd finish his bowl of oatmeal before going on live. Mush-Mouth...
*Scrambled eggs*
(My personal favorite was a few days ago when Olberman had to remind Tweety that he wasn't ON 'Hardball.')
Matthews is indeed in need of a sabbatical. And by sabbatical I mean an involuntary institutionalization. He is follow the same course of dementia as Bill O'Reilly. I may need to compile a Matthews version of this:
The O’Reilly Fear Factor: Collected Verses
Too much speed on his smoke break.
linda @ 2:
Blow who? Ew..that's gross to even consider.
SassySandy @ 13:
• The PARTY chooses the VPs. See Gore, Albert.
• She has HALF the Dem electorate. The DLC, which most leftist and left-leaning Dems struggle with or hate (in a spectrum), is not going to disappear.
The party is going to offer the job to her (or to him), and they would probably both prefer it to returning to Senate seats. In eight years Clinton will still be younger than Reagan was or McCain't is.
Ok. So this site is not about ideas but about what's on TV.
That's fine.
Just want to know.
Paul in LA @ 20:
Johnny McLastManStanding will pick her as his VP, if she loses. They are good buddies and she has nothing but praise for him, as opposed to the venom she dishes at your very own Dem party.
ConcernedCanuck @ 22:
They are Senators. If you don't know the breed, you will not get the comraderie, even between enemies.
McCain't has zero control over his ticket -- HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WAS RUNNING until 9iu11iani crashed and burned. They tell him what to do, and he has nothing to add, sir.
Albino monkeys everywhere are proud of their brother Chris.
VietVet8666 @ 21:
We've had this conversation before, VietVet. Your snark is not appreciated. This site has ALWAYS been about how the media frames the national debate. Always.
The majority of Americans are not as politically engaged as you and I are. They rely on shows like Hardball to tell them what's important. This is what they're getting. We're trying to highlight this so that people can combat it, write to the networks, whatever, so that they know why it is that their neighbors think that John McCain is a straight shooter and their Uncle Lou thinks that Obama is a Muslim.
Whatever you've projected the site to be is on you, but this site IS a place for ideas. They may not be your ideas, but that's the beauty of the internets. You can create a site that is what you want and hopefully, people will be less judgemental of yours than you have been of John Amato's.
Paul in LA @ 23:
I gotta agree to a point. I thought as a loyal Dem you would be screaming about Hillary's anti-Dem retorts lately. Publicly saying your party candidate is not as qualified to be Prez, as your opponent is kind of a weird way to get votes. I would think most of these people being "comrades" has more to do with the money class they enjoy, one much more luxurious than your average middle class. BUT, Bill and Hillary have publicly stated they are good friends with Heeeere's Johnny, and implied there would be no way they would kneecap him if they are the final candidates. That smells. Especially if she will do it to her own party member, don't you think? Forgot though, she's a Clinton. They are their own party.
VietVet8666 @ 21:
You have no idea.
Or rather, this site is about how the media attempts to manipulate us. So far they are doing a lot better than you are.
ConcernedCanuck @ 26:
It's a political party, not a Tiffany.
Big Deal, she campaigns rough (and loses votes over it).
Her 'attacks' are haplessly providing a gloss for all those henny-pennies who think it would be 'premature' to elect 'a black man.' They'll get over it.
I don't know if anyone watched the (long) CA Supreme Court on CSPAN last night (taking the gay marriages case)? Amazing, listening to Governor Pantsload's attorneys, trying to convince the justices that there is no comparison between the gay right to marry and the right to marry between races. Seems we have to go slowly in recognizing those rights -- wouldn't do to rush the society -- we have to uphold the beliefs of the traditions and the long history (of keeping them down).
A lot of people have expressed their fears about Obama. A lot of people have expressed their hatred and disgust of HRC. If he wasn't in the race, all you would hear is that it is 'premature' to vote in a woman.
Life under the circus tent.
VietVet8666 @ 21:
I bet you scream at the Television instead of changing the channel.
Perhaps there is another blog out there that would better serve your needs.
Sounds like little puppet mouth has been out behind the barn, sippin' whiskey and smokin' blunts with ole Mr. 19%. Honest.
If I were Obama, I'd "ditch the bitch" and latch onto Webb or Clark. Or Clarke.
That's just me, but I think her negatives grow stronger on both sides of the fence every day. Shooting Mark Penn won't help much. Bill, well that's another story. Weigh down the body with Whitewater stones wrapped in that blue dress.
Paul in LA @ 20:
You seem to know a lot about party machinations, Paul, so I can't dispute what you say. That said, I'd have to disagree with the idea that either candidate will accept the VP if offered. Clinton's ego is Kobe Bryant-sized. And Obama, well, he's shown himself to be pretty shrewd, even if new to all this slash-and-burn stuff coming at him from all sides. Why work with someone who has behaved in such an unprincipled manner toward you?
I can't help thinking that if she's the nominee, he goes back to the Senate, believing she'll lose. McCain would likely be a one-term president for many reasons. Then Obama, already a household name, returns to run in 2012.
Just a thought.
Tweety is doing his best Bill O'Reilly impression. You know, grew up a pampered suburban kid who went off the college and the peace corps and a job on capitol hill, now wants to revise his personal history as a down-to-earth good hearted Philly tough guy. He oughta just be himself.
Deleted. Bigoted. You are more than welcome to disagree with posters and contributers on this site, but not in attack mode. Surprising to find you speaking out against Bay Buchanan's racism a few days ago. You're done here-Sitemonitor]
I don’t think I would wish this on anybody (I was not very bummed when Reagan got it) but I think Matthews is going to be senile at an early age. He is just that far out there. I can’t say that I liked him but at least he was… oh never mind, fuck it. He is on the way to senility though.
Just saying.
VietVet8666 @ 21:
c'mon, you know better
I think Nicole pretty much summed it up.
The bottom line is that PA will seal the deal for Hillary.
Nothing wrong with what Chris is saying here.
speaking of Olberman, tonight he called out Clinton for her role in NAFTAgate as now reported by the CBC and the Globe and Mail
RobertD @ 31 "I'd have to disagree with the idea that either candidate will accept the VP if offered. Clinton's ego is Kobe Bryant-sized.

If you think his skin is that thin, I think you have misappreciated his better qualities. And as for her, in eight years she would be the incumbent VP -- the biggest class of future presidents there is.
She could turn it down, but the VP is better than being one person in 100.
Both Dean (head of party) and Pelosi (chair of convention) have specifically said that the ticket will not be contested at the convention. And Obama's momentum can't be measured by Texas and Ohio in an ice-storm. She can't compare with his grassroots pull, and neither, of course, can John McCain't.
Nicole Belle @ 25:
Well said.
Speaking of which, I use the Spotlight feature quite a bit to try to put a pea-sized dent in the noise machine MSM. Any feedback on how many recipients have blocked Spotlight or if they comment back to the service.
I see it as my duty to try, but often wonder what happens after I enter the code and hit SEND.
I used to think Tucker was the biggest idiot on MSNBC, but you know Tucker is a light weight that can't follow a logical argument when you tune him in. Tucker makes Matthews look like a genious lately. Matthew's wife recently retired as a local anchor on the east coast. I wonder if she watches his show now and is worried about what has happened to his mind? He embarrasses himself regularly now. MSNBC ought to pasture him while he can leave without much more shame.
I have thought for years that Chris needed a long vacation in a padded room - especially when he talks about the Clintons.
Christ, the man foams at the mouth!
There's been serious evidence of schizophrenia for quite some time now. He lost it a long time ago when he started getting a hard-on every time Hillary crossed his mind. I don't mean that in a sexual way either.
Tweety and Tina Fey can hold hands and go to PA to remind voters that "bitches can get things done!!!!!"
GOBAMA! You da man!!!!
Nicole Belle @ 25:
Some people just aren't happy unless they're bitching about the work other people do.
Evidently the sponsors of "Hardball" are ball-less. The sponsors need to have this man step down. Matthews needs to look in the mirror. Matthews is becoming the "laughing stock" of all shows. Such a creep!
He is told "Stop", "Stop" "Stop" and he continues with his diatribes against Hillary. I have talked to so many women who are supporting Hillary just because Matthews disses her so horribly. Same with the guy that "called Chelsea pimping" . He was on "Morning Joe" going after Hillary worse than before. Are there any bosses that have any influence with these guys?
Speaking of MSNBC talking heads that are starting to come unglued, did anyone notice how out of it Andrea Mitchell looked today? Whew. On Morning Joe I thought maybe it was the early hour, but I saw her at least two more times later in the day, and she still looked just as out of it. I wonder if it is possible that with the economy tanking faster than the last Rocky sequel, if Greenspan is pacing the floor, sobbing, with a loaded gun in his hand.
Who could follow any of that? This guy is Sybil.
SassySandy @ 13:
Hillary might not have been my first choice for the nomination but I certainly didn't start out opposing her. The whole field looked actually good and any one of them looked acceptable. But Hillary has either cracked up from the campaign pressure or her true colors (and horrible clashing ones at that) are showing. Maybe Imus is right and she is Satan. I can't skip this election even if she does get the nomination because it's important that my congressman be reelected, but I'll probably write in Chris Dodd or somebody for president.
Chris Matthews is the only democrat to every substitute host for Rush Limbaugh on his radio show. Gee, I wonder why? He spent the whole day sliming Bill Clinton, that's why.
This clip is a mirror of the kinds of conversations going on in each campaign's headquarters. Anybody who has spent any time around extremely succcessful public figures knows that they think in aggressively stereotypical ways; it's almost a manic type of superficiality.
It's not a kind of intelligence that I have much use for personally, but the higher you go in the social order the more of these types of people you're going to encounter. I mean, the disappoint you express in the post suggests that you think Matthews is choosing to speak about somebody's hair instead speaking about policy. But it's not a choice. This is his baseline for interpreting and organizing reality. What people look like. Race. Education. What neighborhood you live in. Who outranks who.
Being on the production side of politics is to live in Matthews' factory. Which is why most of us live on the consumer side, where the hardest job we have is complaining about what we get.
Very honest questions for theadm of this blog. Why don't you hold people like Randi Rhodes and Thom Hartmann responsible for their daily attacks against Clinton? Please understand, I'm a guy who started loving Obama but as time went bye, his message started losing it's shine. I need policies and specifics. Should't you scrutinize those giving Obama a free pass while hammering Clinton??
The one day the media took their gloves off and started giving him tough questions, his numbers stopped climbing and he had to leave the press conference because he not tough enough to handle a couple of punches. What makes anyone think that once in the general election he will survive?
[I think John Amato said it best on the Kurtzing of Obama thread 3 days ago "...For every “why didn’t you cover this Hillary story or that Obama story” I should get a dime." Sitemonitor]
marie @ 48:
If you listen to Imus, that's your problem right there.
HRC will make a good VP. Ask Dodd -- he will agree.
nyguy @ 51:
That is a great piece of mythology. His numbers stopped climbing? When was that?
Obama is not the point. The point is that the liberal voters in the United States have to COME TOGETHER and oppose continued Bushcoism. Obama is bringing in new voters, is bringing especially young voters into the process, and is steady enough and friendly enough to be a good diplomat. You could hardly find a bigger difference than the Boy Wonder and the Hollow Old Warhorse they're rolling to the polls (with his belly full of soldiers).
It's a big Blue bus, and it will make the Rapepublicans cry.
Goon @ 37:
MSNBC.com has it small on the front page; CNN (who's pundits more than once stated that Obama was lying, with Blitzer stirring the unvetted tripe continuously before the voting) has not corrected yet.

Government will probe 'entire' NAFTA leak: PM
Here is why The Messiah is a risk. Rezko! His super judgment not to invade Iraq. Why did he make his speech? His Iraqi financier and friends in Chicago told him to make it.Nadhmi Auchi was charged along with Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Abdul-Karim Qasim in 1959.Auchi was involved in several multi-billion business deals in the post-Saddam era too, such as the Orascom mobile phone network (IraqNa), and at least one power generation contract involving Chicago-based tycoon Antoin Rezko and Iraq's former Minister of Electricity, Aiham Alsamarrae, who has been convicted over corruption charges in Iraq and is now living in Chicago.
These Iraqi businessmen didn't want their homeland invaded. This is the story that will put John McCain in office if Barak Obamba is the Democrat nominee. .
Ah Pat. Still chugging along.It seems like yesterday he was running for President on the Reform platform. Remember his slogan: If you don't elect me the Germans will.
I think bloggers on C&L expect too much from Matthews, he is just being who he is. Mathews has never towed a straight party line for either side, he hits both sides and hearts both sides, he just says what's on his mind and doesn't care what other think.
UGh. Five and a half weeks until the PA primary. I think I'm going to start following spring baseball.
Sure, sure, Rick.
Bounce your scandal off Mr. One-Finger Approval Rating.
Failing to guard the high-explosives in Iraq on invasion was one of the biggest crimes against our troops in U.S. history.
McCain't doesn't want that to come up, but it will, all year.
I have the cure for Tweety's irrationality. Take him off the air for the primary season until after the election! He's certifiable. And mean.
In the words of Gypsy Rose Lee, "Let me entertain you." Poor, sick, excited man needs a long rest. He may entertain his audience with a on the air stoke if he keeps this mania up.
LOL @ you if you still watch these shows. Some people will never learn.

Please take the time to put together your own blog, send us a link to it and we'll come check it out and leave leave annoying, whining comments on your bandwidth. Until then, there are millions of websites out there, please go find one that better suits you.
One question.
In C&L's singular focus on Chris Matthews I never see any summation of several key statements made yesterday by the Clinton camp - and Hillary as well as the news from Canada about Nafta.
1. Why no comment that Hillary is more ready to support McCain ahead of Obama on National security? Her self proclaimed "its me or nobody" message is rather a large arrogant slap in the face of the Democratic party.
2. Obama's team "is rather akin to Kenneth Starr". If she is so "vetted" then release the tax return and don't use Republican symbols as surrogates of your "Democratic Party" colleague.
3. Canada is now admitting that both Obama and Clinton had there so called "side bar" conversations with Canadian officials - to downplay the Nafta election blather...
Why no mention of these items - that KO did a fair amount of coverage last night?
Oh, sorry I forgot, C&L either doesn't want to be caught as possible targets of "you're against Hillary" or they simply prefer her as the candidate.
My point is simply this.
If you want to call out Chris, take some more time and look in the mirror.
You may see his face as your reflection.
Tweety, bird brain, is certainly hitting the sauce again.
Add to the mix this statement he made to Terry MCAuluff (or however you spell the last name).
They were again talking about delegates. He said that whover had the most votes in the democrat race for delegates should win even if it was only one, and they did not have the required number 2,025 or whatever." Terry told him, that wouldn't be the case because the Democrats had passed the resolution that 2,025 was the number required and they couldn't change it. Matthews came back and said "well this is a democracy and the person with the most VOTES SHOULD WIN, right. " He tried to get Terry to admit that they should by-pass the law and agree with him...
I wish I were there...I would have asked him,
"Well why didn't Gore since he had about 1/2 million more or less votes win the presidency"...and if Matthews said well the electoral vote is what counts.
I would have said...."Rest my case". We have to follow the rules....but Matthews doesn't always do that.
Joanie @ 45:
The network owners are GE, the people who brought you Ronald Reagan.

Naw. Probably the docs added a little speed to his Cialis and he's keeping her up later.
Don't forget: when the economy tanks, the Rich (those with a lot of cash) get Richer. I don't think the Greenspan clan is worrying about their adjustable rate mortgage re-setting, do you?
Tweety is embarrassing himself again.
Andy G @ 65:
Here Here! This Neo-Con in wolf's clothing is just another elitist democrat who wants to protect big business and is willing to do anything Nixon-esque to get elected. How are people not up in arms about this? She is the dirtiest player in the game and is acting like the only person in the game. The only people that are voting for her are the people that are afraid to be Liberals, the people that want to vote for her because her last name is Clinton. Look I liked Bill too, given the chance I would vote for him again. He's one of the better presidents we've had, but that's because he was a far cry from the previous administrations. Hillary isn't, she's a warmonger, a slave to lobbyists, and in many ways closer to Bush than McCain is. So vote for your aristocrat, the established nepotist, but when she fails (and she will) just know that you're responsible for the downfall of the democratic party.
Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn what Tweety has to say. Millionaire Moron!
Chris' brother Jim is a Republican commissioner in Montgomery County, an affluent county adjacent to Philly. Jim hitched his wagon to one of the worst political horses in the state when he ran for Lt. Gov. as the running mate of Lynn Swann (and promptly took an epic beating at the hands of Ed Rendell). So it's no surprise that Chris thinks the primary is all about Southeastern PA. It might be the only part of the state he knows anything about.
I' trying to think who it was that stated that, bill Clinton was the best president the repugs ever had, because that person was correct.But if Hillary is elected, ... move ove Bill.
If there is as much dissatisfaction with tweety & MSNBC in general, keep the pressure up by contacting Phil Griffin & Steve Capus. I actually got a response & for one glorious day of coverage, we had more Pat Buchanan & KO & Maddow & no tweety! I stopped watching his show but am stuck with him for primary coverage even as I flip between CNN & Fox (believe it or not - more fair & balanced because of tweety, Andrea & Russert.
Write to them & suggest the Maddow & Buchanan show or any combination of sense and sensationalism (you know that must be an element) that doesn't leave you gagging on your own vomit. Even better, em his sponsors (seem to be drying up a bit, not as many as KO & Abrams have). I have nothing against colorful reporting, in fact I like it sometimes, but jaded, clearly partisan reporting irritates me. Tweety is so partisan it is revolting.
If the Obama camp thinks tweety won't turn on them when & if he secures the nomination, they really ought to think twice. McSame is untouchable to tweety, no coverage of his crazy preacher endorsement, no coverage of "whatever happened to Vicki", no coverage of his flips/flops & bifurcations on everything from amnesty to the occupation.
Makes me wanna look at Nader all over again. Not for this election, but for a movement to create a new, viable party at the grassroots level with his platform at the center.
Ha, as someone born and raised in PA, I can say that if Hillary wins in PA it will be through disinformation and Republicans registering Democrat to vote for Hilary. I talked to my parents last night and that's what their relatives around PA are indicating. People are hearing that Barack's a muslim, that his wife is a militant black muslim and that she only just now became an American first the first time in her adult life, etc, etc.... Apparently even the local news in Harrisburg is reporting large numbers of Republicans are registering as Democrats before the primary, and they think its to vote for Hillary because they expect McCain can beat her, which is what national polls show.
Well I have news for the Hillary supporters. I know you don't care how you win or how low your candidate is obviously willing to go, but Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are what makes PA a blue state. They have large african-american populations and a very high amount of institutions of higher learning. Younger people, educated people, and african-americans seem to be Barack's base.
You know, its sad, Hillary supporters don't even care about the Democratic party or getting a Democrat in the white house, they only care about poor little Hillary.
I know these comments won't be popular here because this blog is self-righteous and indignant about any little thing that is wrong in the world except for the crap Hillary's been pulling lately. Instead they're busy obsessing over Chris Matthews, which is the strangest thing to see, by the way.
Haven't we learned enough from George W. Bush? Step back and let the educated people choose the leader for once. It's OK, you can go shopping with Hillary if you want.
On topic: Matthews has clearly become unwatchable. The poor guy needs to sit the rest of the primary out and return for the general.
Off topic and to #76: I too was born, raised, and lived most of my life in Pennsylvania and know the political landscape. It will be a Clinton victory in the primary because of three simple factors: (1) an extremely aging population, (2) deep-rooted racial prejudice, and (3) a tendency toward xenophobia. Scare politics work there, and Clinton has decidedly turned in that direction.
But it will be a Pyrrhic victory for Clinton. Because of the sh*t she will throw at her Democratic opponent over these next several weeks, the Pennsylvania will go for McCain in the fall regardless of who is the nominee.
If Hillary got the "Gold Medals", as Matthews says, it's for her experience as a life long, self promoting, ambitious politician. She has learned how to pander, dodge questions, waffle on her positions and get really ugly in her campaign tactics. She can be whatever it is she thinks you want her to be, a Yankee fan, a vulnerable woman, a victim, a pit bull. She can speak with many different accents depending on where she is at a given time. How can anyone fathom the thought of the Clintons back in the White House again.
I want a diplomat in the White House not another politician.
This is the last straw for me . I was willing to vote for her (holding my nose) should she eventually win the nomination but after to days statement I will sit out the Presidential election rather then vote for someone willing to torpedo the Dems to further her personal ambition. Screw her.
I will share this news with members on ~~~~MeetWealthyBoomer.com~~~~ It is a very successful site for 30+ singles to meet love and romance. BTW, as a part-time model, I uploaded my best photos taken on beach with my lovely bikini. You may check them out first?
