#1 Queen Hillary would make a fine 'shepherdess'! Gathering the sheep close to the fold is most important. The nation must be ready to weather the approaching storm clouds that bare ahead!

#2 So BO is experiencing poll shrinkage?

#3 So, Fred - why did you have to go to China to find this news? Is the American media ignoring it, hoping it will go away?

Or are they waiting for the Wright effect to kick in?

#4 Too bad. Hillary just may have a chance to back room deal her way to the Dem nomination. Since neither of them understand the basis and implications of islamic jihad, I'd rather see the easier to defeat of the 2 get the nomination - Obama.

#5 Last evening my wife asked me if there would be race riots if Obama lost.

My guess is that the odds are "better" if he loses the primary cause that would be much more easily spun (and may be the truth) that it was stolen. A GE loss probably not.

But I really have no idea or numbers to put on it.

I was actually in Newark in '67 when the gun fire started (though I didn't know what the sound was at the time). Also was in Peoria, ILL for that one.

What does Rantburg think? Are we looking at Rodney King times a hundred?

#6 I'm a bit more worried about the situation in Denver, especially if the nominee isn't clinched before the convention starts. I would expect the leftists to try to influence the convention through violent action in the streets surrounding it. Recreate '68, and all that.

As to blacks rioting, they can. But it's their own neighborhoods they destroy. And this time there won't be nearly as much support for rebuilding them as last.

It certainly is a volatile situation. And after all we've done to remove volatile organic compounds from the air.

#7 I don't feel sorry for Denver. When you invite trash into your home, don't be surprised by the damage they leave behind

#8 If the demon-kats riot in Denver, there will be other stupid towns that are vying to get those convention bucks next time. After all, riot police are just a minor cost of doing business, compared to the revenues from delegates, hookers, perverts, and the like.

Rasberry jello today. You're third in line for the Segway, unless you can talk 'J.C.' into letting you go first...

#12 This could end up showing the wisdom of the super delegate system. A charismatic guy like Obama comes out of nowhere and dazzles a bunch of feeble minded moonbats into voting for him and he heads into the convention with a majority of regular delegates. But then, before the convention, the news breaks about something ugly and horrible like the Racist Right Reverend Jeremiah Wright in the candidate's background. Enter the super delegates to make sure the charlatan doesn't lead their party to defeat in November...not that I'm rooting for Hillary, mind you. Just sayin'.

#13 Blacks are, for the most part; a loving, forgiving people, there will be no riots at the convention; those are mechanics Rush Limbaugh wishes to implement to shoe the Rebublican in. Blacks will listen intently to Obama's support and/or endorsement of Queen Hillary and most likely fall in lockstep with the Clinton resurgence! My contacts suggest some blacks will however quietly support Clinton, but pull the lever for McCain in the fall in revenge.

#14 uh huh.... ~~no justice, no peace!~~ ~~kill the white interloper!~~
Barack Obama made a call for nonviolence in the aftermath of the Sean Bell verdict - infuriating the Rev. Al Sharpton, who accused the presidential candidate of trying to "grandstand in front of white people," sources told The Post.

During what a source described as a "heated" phone call yesterday, Sharpton told Obama he was disappointed with the Illinois senator's words on Friday, when Obama said "resorting to violence to express displeasure" was "completely unacceptable and counterproductive."

"[Obama] issues this statement and not a single rock had been thrown," said a source. "How does the candidate of change ask people to accept a verdict that is unjust?"

The source said Sharpton had hoped Obama would "side with the Bell family" and not use it as an "opportunity to grandstand in front of white people."

Who said it would be blacks? What a racist assumption.

#18 Dang, I bet he could sure use some really sleazy muck slinging tactics.

Anyone have his cell number?

Boy ole Hillary pulled another dirty trick out of the bag. Boy Howdy, just about the time you think her play book is on the last page, something crawls out from under a rock to help her.

Some one pass the popcorn
