He’s only over if you count the delegates Romney ‘released’ to him.

But, yes, I don’t think anybody but complete moonbats would argue he’s not the nominee now.

My contacts in USA tell me that the business community are shit scared that Obama will win and stuff the economy even more than it is with his Socialist dumb policies. Already a number of big players have contingency plans to shift their domiciles off shore to escape the fallout.

Even Hillary is being seen as a better bet by the business community as a less risky operator.

Obama is all cliches and sound bits An actor.

Clinton shows concern for NAFTA, and the utmost unruly waste of Taxpayers money and jobs. Trillions have been lost because of NAFTA, something like the North American Union which not so long ago was jeered a conspiritorial claptrap, yet the truthers were on the money. The NAU http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/NAUArticles.html will join Canada, US and Mexico into a borderless superstate, a good reason why Bush has little energy to instal the Mexico border fence.
The Ohio people seemed very concerned about the jobs being lost because of NAFTA, and Hillary met their needs, and won their votes by saying she will sort it out. The problem for this is her Husband championed NAFTA in the first place and constructively supported it.
You think shes going to bring it down? Highly doubtful

Excellent re. McCain. The fight for him is about to start as against the Donks – who ever they come up with. Any thoughts on who would be easier to beat?

You have to give McCain his due. He has failed over several elections and held out to eventually win.
Congrats.
