This stuff is simply hilarious:

http://www.hillaryis44.org/?p=772
http://www.hillaryis44.org/?p=773
http://www.hillaryis44.org/?p=775

Their spin now: All Obama's election shows is that the media can win an election for "their" candidate and no one including his die-hard supporters should be happy because of it.

I wonder if the site will continue just as a blog to whine about Obama for the next four years. It'd be quite amusing, especially with the title.

Hopefully President Obama moves quickly after his inauguration to write an executive order banning this website.

I should think they'd be going on about how it isn't over yet...after all, if they can get 80-odd unpledged delegates electors, this can go to the House where they might still win it for their gal.

Very true.  The Electoral College was designed to prevent the election of people like Obama, after all. Tongue

So AAs finally have their president which they felt entitled to even after being ONLY 12% of the population.

Women are 52% of the population. When are we going to feel entitled to it? When will we build a working coalition (like the AAs) and support each other close to 100% to elect our own woman president?

The commenter does have a point.  Considering blacks couldn't really vote until the 60's, and women make up the majority of the electorate, it is a greater statistical injustice for women not to have reached the presidency.  Especially because there are many more qualified women (how many female governors and senators vs. how many minority governors and senators?).

The "problem," of course, is that young women don't necessarily overwhelmingly identify with their gender and it's not going to change anytime soon.  And Hillary wasn't very feminine by societal standards.

And it's not a pissing contest.  You get there when you run the right candidate.

Women couldn't vote nationwide until 1920, though many jurisdictions allowed them to vote before that. Blacks living in the North could vote before the 60s, though very, very few were elected to office. Also, until recently it was almost impossible for black politicians to go statewide.

The "problem," of course, is that young women don't necessarily overwhelmingly identify with their gender and it's not going to change anytime soon.  And Hillary wasn't very feminine by societal standards.

That was one of the main problems Hillary ran up against during the primary, and to a large degree it was due to the success of the women's movement. Younger women had grown up equal to their male peers in most respects, didn't feel oppressed, and thus didn't see the need to elect a woman to office.

As dumb as the site is, it's still covered under freedom of speech.

Well, fine, maybe he should order a CIA hit on the owners.

I feel like I'm reading Free Republic when I click on those links. The level of disconnect is amazing.

On the GOP side, for 2016, look out for Gov. Phill Kline (KS), Gov. Ralph Reed (GA), Gov. JD Hayworth (AZ), Sen. David Vitter (LA), among others.

Even ignoring principles of free speech, I really hope that site never goes down just because of the levels of amusement it provides. I really hope it sticks around for the next four years as just a site to whine, whine, whine about Obama.

The most hilarious thing is that many of their posters appear to have turned on Hillary too after she endorsed Obama.
