Oliver Willis: The Delusional Clinton Supporters
Yikes!

http://www.oliverwillis.com/index.php/2008/05/13/the-delusional-clinton-supporters/

Yes, voting for Sen. Clinton in West Virginia is just like facing down a tank in Tiannamen Square. Just the same. Identical.



And here's the strange Taylor Marsh column he references:

That's Russert in the lead tank, followed closely by Kerry and Kennedy, with Olbermann bringing up the rear. And that's you blocking the entrance to West Virginia.

Sure, it looks like a Clinton landslide tomorrow. But just think of what might happen if this landslide actually turns into a crushing blowout and we have a 40-point spread on our hands. Several polls are saying that such a thing is quite possible.

Now imagine a victory speech from Hillary that brings down the house and forces the media to realize that this thing ain't over.

This is within grasp, and calling West Virginia tonight is the way to help make it happen. So here's the plan: Everyone who possibly can, please give the voters of West Virginia a call for just one full hour tonight, between 7-8pm Eastern. It's one hour because I know the responsibilities that many of us have, though continuing to call until about 9pm would be even better.

1. Hehe ... it will be really helpful to call people between 7:30 and 9:00 ...
when the polls close at 7:30.

All along, I thought Taylor Marsh was serious ... now I see it is sophisticated satire of the Andy Kaufman variety. Bravo!
