"THINGS ARE BEING DONE"....http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/tapped_archive?month=03&year=2008&base_name=harry_reid_it_will_be_done">Via Dana Goldstein, here is Harry Reid telling a reporter how the Democratic primary race is http://www.lvrj.com/news/16948521.html">going to play out:

Q: Do you still think the Democratic race can be resolved before the convention?

Reid: Easy.

Q: How is that?

Reid: It will be done.

Q: It just will?

Reid: Yep.

Q: Magically?

Reid: No, it will be done. I had a conversation with Governor Dean (Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean) today. Things are being done.

My mind is now at rest. Thanks, Harry.

- Things are being done?? What things would those be?? And who is it being done to??

1. Nice to see Harry throwing his weight around. After the primary

he can rejoin the anonymous.

[DeSwiss]

27. Do you mean those guys who are....

...out after the Scientologists???

[anamandujano]

42. I'm not reading you. Could you rephrase?

[SoonerPride]

2. Hillary Clinton will be told to go quietly.

After N.Carolina and Indiana.

The end.

[DeSwiss]

29. Ouietly if possible....

...but go nonetheless.

[anamandujano]

45. She's got half the voters on her side. They have no authority to stop the process.

Maybe they can get the Supreme Court to shut her down, like they did Gore. Everyone was delighted about that. Remember?

[wileedog]

50. And not enough pledged delegates

Cue Willy Wonka

[anamandujano]

59. It's her decision, not theirs. Obama can't get to 2025 and one senses

there is more dirt on the horizon.

[DeadElephant_ORG]

71. Yep. It's HER decision. Let's see if she has the courage and integrity to make it.

[wileedog]

73. You are correct, it is her decision.

She can continue to stream blood into the water and hurt Obama's chances against McCain, or she can face up to the monumentally low chance she has to be nominated at this point, and even the damage it would cause for her only viable election scenario to happen.

In other words, she can decide it is more important for the country that a Democrat who may not be her be elected than she continue with the minuscule percentage chance that her campaign has now.

Her legacy is in her hands.

[JVS]

75. No. She has a little bit less than half, and Obama has a little bit more than half.

[Zhade]

76. No, the liar has less than half. She's losing. That's a fact.

Sorry to burst your bubble of delusion.

[ossman]

3. He's got his magic underwear ready to go!

[DeSwiss]

30. I hope they work....

...better for Harry than they did for Mitt!

[MichiganVote]

4. Reid-Action-Doubtful

[SoonerPride]

6. He cited Dean as doing the acting.

That means it is being done.

Reid writes strongly worded memos.

Dean makes things happen.

Clinton will bow out after N. Carolina.

[MichiganVote]

11. Sorry, in my opinion they have the decision making IQ of the rest of Washington.

[SoonerPride]

14. Regardless of your opinion of them, the fact remains they are forcing Hillary out.

It is being done.

Whether you approve or not.

She will bow out.

And then Fl and Mi will be seated.

34. Here delete this one too. Let;s just all have more bullshit.

[SoonerPride]

84. Sorry your feelings are hurt.

You must need a nap.

[Zhade]

78. Oh, I hope not. They shouldn't be seated either way.

Especially after she accepts her loss - pointless and cruel then.

[bilgewaterbill]

15. Has he done anything right? Has he DONE anything?

[MichiganVote]

20. IMO- No.

[DeSwiss]

31. He just has to check-in....

...with Joe Lieberman first.

- Make sure its okay and all...

[MichiganVote]

32. Yup. Say a few words, sound resolute, disappear. Nice work if you can get it.

[tekisui]

5. I am thinking it could be the "Superdelegate Primary"

that has been hinted about. After the last Primary, on June 3rd, the SuperD's may come together through a straw poll/show of hands to end it before we have to go through 3 months of hell to the Convention.

[Cosmocat]

23. Yep ...

The math is the math ...

IF Hill does not drop out, they need to pick a date the week after that last primary, and tell all the SDs to make a call one way or another ... The popular vote will be in, the pledged delegates will be in ... There is NO reason to have it drag past then ...

IF it does, and I like Howard Dean a lot, but he and the lot of them need to have bullets put into their heads ...

[DeSwiss]

33. I'm sure that'll sound fair to everyone....

...except Hillary.

[bluedawg12]

38. Screw those pesky primaries!

[DeSwiss]

48. I hear ya!

Its like the people really thought they were choosing someone for President or having an election or something....

[bluedawg12]

51. LOL! These elections caught 'em off guard they only had 8 years. n/t

[Double T]

7. obama will be asked to step aside as the freshman senator that knows...........

practically NOTHING! Time for HRC to pick out drapes for the Oval Office.

[SoonerPride]

8. dream on. Clinton will bow out after N Carolina.

It is written.
So shall it be done.

[Double T]

12. Are WE back to the 'divine wright' crap again?

[SoonerPride]

17. Just telling what' will happen. You don't have to like it.

Just know that Hillary is giong to step aside after N Carolina and Indiana.

[KAZ]

Shut the bitch down.

[Dogmudgeon]

28. Can we quote you on that?

--p!

[DeSwiss]

36. LOL!

[mckeown1128]

39. Try not to use that word... nt

[bluedawg12]

49. KAZ- email that to Obama - make him proud of you. n/t

[greguganus]

63. Sink The Hillary!!!

I live near Wake Tech where she is suppose to speak and although it won't matter to Her Hideous, I hope to be one of many outside telling her to give it up.

[Aussie leftie]

16. I wish I had your confidence

[Zhade]

80. You need it, considering she's toast.

NT!

[JBoy]

21. I'm sure Michelle is quite capable.

In any event, is that what you want your Commander-in-Chief doing on day one? Picking out drapes?

[DeSwiss]

35. Well he knows one thing....

...how to count!

[Zhade]

79. How's it feel to be so delusional? To support a fucking LIAR?

Man, you clintbots will be sad when you have to accept her loss along with her!

[rocktivity]

9. Has Reid joined the cast of The Sopranos?

:scared:
rocknation

[Cha]

24. Pretty Ironic since Reid's son was helping hilary

in Nevada..a long time ago.

[jenmito]

26. Olbermann said he fears it may have something to do with making Obama unelectable.

I HOPE he's wrong...

[bluedawg12]

44. Olberman..Obamaman..jumped the shark a long time ago. n/t

[Cha]

57. No, Olbermann has not jumped any shark..

he's a good writer and a good reporter who deals in facts.

[splat]

69. Actually, he's a sports columnist with strong opinions

[Cha]

70. KO Is so so much more but I wouldn't

expect you to know.

[splat]

72. He may be more, but he's not doing journalism now -- he's cheerleading

[Cha]

56. I thought it would have something

to do with making sure the people were not disinfranchised?

[DeSwiss]

37. Different crime family altogether....

[crispini]

10. Hmmm......

"Things are being done, yes! Nominate someone we will! Drag on until Denver it will not!"

:P

[DeSwiss]

40. And if its one thing I know...

...the Yoda knows.



- Its 3AM and there are light-saber welding snipers outside your door. Who do YOU want answering the phone in the White House???

[mmonk]

13. It won't be him.

It will be Dean I imagine if he is telling the truth.

[Autumn]

19. Wow!! Harry found a set of balls

or not. He is such a fucking ass.

[DeSwiss]

55. He may have found some...

...but they have to belong to someone else. Besides, they'd never fit. Some folks just ain't built for 'em.

[Autumn]

62. He probably wouldn't even know what

to do with them. Maybe give them to Nancy and she would hand them to bush.

[Major Hogwash]

22. Well, after this spring, it won't come soon enough. Unless Hillary talks about Bosnia again.

Because after all the crap she has said these last 3 months, I can't get enough of her Bosnia "sniper fire" stories.

Seriously.

That is the funniest shit I have ever read about her.

[bluedawg12]

41. I can't get enought of those church pew stories.

I was there..I wasn't...I heard...but didn't hear..for 20 years..I never heard...almost all of it.....

[Major Hogwash]

47. Hillary's church pew stories are not nearly as outrageous as her lies about Bosnia.

You know what I mean?

[bluedawg12]

53. Yeah' cuz she was raving G-D D_mn America on the tarmac in Tusla? n/t

[Major Hogwash]

74. No, because she was lying her fat fucking ass off about "ducking sniper fire".

Quack, quack!

If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and looks like a duck - it's a duck!

Let her dodge the quackers at the park.

LoL

[boppers]

67. Can't get enough of the good reverend? Try here:

http://youtube.com/user/TRINITYCHGO

Lots of moving, inspirational, and thought provoking videos, rather than cheap soundbites edited to distort their context.

[Zhade]

82. Yeah, lies from clintbots who ignore HER lies are dismissed.

NEXT!

[jenmito]

25. But he's for Hillary, isn't he? n/t

[Herman Munster]

54. yup

his son was her state director in Nevada.

[splat]

43. You can't "make" anybody unelectable, Keith; but if there is something, for the good of the party...

they'll make sure it comes out before the convention.

Frank Mankiewicz, a top McGovern aide, asked Mr. Eagleton if there was anything in his background that might embarrass the campaign.

Mr. Eagleton said there was not. He did not tell Mr. Mankiewicz that he had been hospitalized three times for depression and that his treatment twice involved electroshock therapy.

[bluedawg12]

46. Olberman has been delusional and thinking he is Ed.R. Murrow for sometime. n/t

[splat]

60. Keith, Josh Marshall, Jonathan Alter et al chose to pick a side, violating...

the journalism principle laid down by Adolph Ochs, "to give the news impartially, without fear or favor, regardless of party, sect, or interests involved."

Keith really is a sports reporter after all, and he's chosen his team.

[bluedawg12]

66. Don't forget "tingle up my leg" over BO tweety. n/t

[splat]

68. Yeah, but tweety started as a pol, only became a reporter after Carter lost

With the Dems out, he needed a new career. He's an obvious ringer, like "journalist" Pat Robertson.

[Zhade]

83. Oh, you can - clinton proved it by lying herself into total destruction of her failed campaign.

NT!

[David Zephyr]

52. Are they going to take away Tonya Harding's baseball bat?

Hmmmm.

[bluedawg12]

58. No, they'll actually have to fight the Repugs instead of Hil.

Then where will the kitchen sink, Tanya Harding, one liners fit in?

[Cha]

61. Don't worry about it...

we'll be fine..as soon as that Fire by sniperliar, hilary clinton goes to out to pasture.

[bluedawg12]

65. Put the: I didn't hear him for 20 years -out to age. n/t

[DeSwiss]

64. Maybe they'll get 'em with her sauce....

[Major Hogwash]

77. Hahahahaha! Maybe they can get Bubba to take a few swings at 'em!

Gawd knows, he was "always against the Iraq War, right from the very start".

LoL

2 liars living in the same house! What a fuckin' sitcom that would make!

"Okay, who left the lid up?"

"Not me."

"Well, I sure as hell didn't."

"I didn't. I swear I didn't."

"I've heard that one before."

"Oh, am I under oath again?"

"It depends."

"On what the definiton of 'is' is?"

"No, whether you want to sleep on the couch again."

"Not like I've never done that before."

"Alone."

"Bitch."

"Asshole."

LoL

[TheDonkey]

81. Super delegate flood to Obama after NC and OR

is my guess. All the very large states will have voted and the impossibility of Hillary winning will be to great to ignore or spin.

[Seabiscuit]

85. It was "done" to John Edwards. If they can "do it" to him, they can destroy anyone.

Whatever it is they do, it's appalling and disgusting.
