Primary Haikus

He’s calling for CHANGE
"Do a GREAT THING, USA!"
Which is? "Vote for me."

The candidate who
said she was experienced
ran a rookie race

Good post, Jake,
The rhetoric ranks right up there with hiring college students to work the blogs.
Kind of puts a different outlook on the quality of content of the obviously juvenile posts.
No matter. The youngsters will get a good dose of their employer when the check bounces.

4 out of 6 of those lines were plagiarized.

“ran a rookie race”….ahhhh, yes, yet another negative perspective the press wants us to believe.

CHANGE anyone? Obama is taking donations, big ones like Rezko’s are appreciated!

Neither Obama or Hilary have expierence, and when either is done with you there will be only change in your pocket!

Seriously, I don’t see how anyone can serioulsy vote for Hillary after witnessing how she has been outcampaigned in EVERY single instance and step by a mere rookie. Yet, she expects us to trust her with running the country? Please.

Obama explaining why he is experienced to be President:
“Look, I’ve lived overseas,” said Obama. “I have family overseas. I have served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.”
(when he was 6 – 10 years old)

Well it seems that if she ran a “rookie race” than she wouldn’t have been able to win most of the BIG DEMOCRATIC STATES. And as you know, it is essential for a Democratic nominee to be able to win these states in order to win in the general election. This never seems to be reported in the media. Hmmm. She is polling ahead in Ohio. A state that is also essential in the general election.
I can’t wait until she wins, TX, OH and RI and watch as the media trys to spin it. GO HILLARY!

jpt– i liked the haikus, right to the point.
does anyone notice the pitch and wail to hillary’s voice? if that isnt desperation, i dont know what is. gotta let nature take it’s course. if hillary plays her cards right, she can have a respectable position in the cabinet. if she truly cares about the usa, she will do what it takes to help obama.

The candidate who
Wants to be a uniter;
Has mean supporters.
Dividing the dems
Will assure a McCain win.
Let’s unite for real.

Hope, change, unity
just words and words alone
One talks, one has shown
How long will we fall
Always for the easy sell
How far will we fall
The most qualified
doesn’t receive justice
the work we truly need
What I think is crazy is anyone who truly think campaign dynamics are anything like governing a nation.
It’s like comparing bobbing for apples to running a five star restaurant.
With all of the odds against Hillary – she has proven how solid she is. If the media didn’t have the mentality of a high school clique wanting the “cool” candidate – she would have gotten the fair and balanced coverage she deserves and she would be the rightful nominee.
She is the most qualified candidate.
Hillary has my vote and my confidence.
I started out neutral, but I have been turned off by Barack’s lack of qualifications, hypocrisy, and double standards, not to mention witnessing way too much of the media’s incredibly unfair bias.

Hillary hang in there, I urge you not to quit this race just because some Congress people want you to bow out, remember you said you where a fighter, please stick to your guns and stay true to your statement, Let Obama work to bring America together, since he said he could do it better than you let him now prove what he said and promised he could do. Don’t let some gender biased mass media outlets or Congress people who’s backing Obama try and dictate to you when to quit this race no matter what. I’m not going to Unify behind a Presidential candidate in whom I don’t trust, and lack’s the experience over Hillary who has the experience to do the job from Day One of entering the Oval Office, I’m just not willing to take that leap and faith and hope on a “Johnny Come Lately 3 term Senator Obama.
Hillary, if you’re no longer are in the race for whatever reason , I will be voting for Ralph Nader or staying home, instead of voting for Obama, because I do not like how you where treated throughout this campaign and doing the televised debates, you where always given the very difficult questions to answer by the Moderators and then Obama was given the opportunity to frame or piggyback his answers off of yours, Obama was very well shielded and protected by the media, he has never been challenged and scrutinized on his political or personal life as of yet like Hillary has, and this is very unfair and biased against Hillary. I guess the media is waiting to do this after they have helped to get Hillary out of the way, and then bring his campaign down to its knees allowing the Republican candidate to win and keep control of the White house for another four years, I believe this is the underlying strategy of the Republican Party and the media from the very beginning of this campaign.
I’m an African American Male who is not being a part of Unifying this Country or the Democratic Party at Hillary’s expense, due to her lack of being treated fair, balanced, and objectively during this election primary season. Hillary Please Never Quit, Let Obama earn his Keep, Let him see if he can Walk the Walk he’s been preaching about throughout this campaign, because the way you where treated in this campaign is going to make it very difficult for Obama to Unify the Democratic Party and rally Hillary Supporters around him doing the general election. Many Hillary supporters may stay home or vote for Ralph Nader in protest to Obama’s Presidency, because most people in the leadership in Congress or the DNC did not support and rally behind the candidate Hillary Clinton, who has the most experience to tackle and fix the mess Bush will leave behind in 2009.

Hillary slings mud
Channels her inner Karl Rove.
Play on their fears, Hill.
