Delusional.

Hunt's an incompetent egomaniac. There are NO EXCUSES for the county convention debacle. He knew the turnout would be higher than the facility could support, yet he continued nonetheless.

The decisions he oversaw on the spot only exacerbated the problem. Seat alternates before the delegates? Give me a break.

Sebelius won't even mention his name, because he knows that would only fluff Hunt's ego.

If you think Hunt's the "best Clark County Chair we've ever had," you need to seriously raise your expectations.

Or get your lips off his rear.

Well, for being "insanely uninformed" you failed to dispute anything I wrote. Also, you might note that Neff, Damore, Sebelius all agree with the sentiment that Hunt needs to go.

Instead you follow, lock-step, behind Hunt, mindlessly cheerleading. You just fail to realize he's leading you into a ditch. Open your eyes and dislodge your lips from his posterior.

Oh great, another place for Abbinett's delusional comment spam.

It's one thing to rally around a great leader, it's another to blindly follow the incompetent. Hunt's proven his incompetence time and time again, and no wise Democrat would give him another opportunity to screw up. The few things that have gone right with the county Dems in the time since his election have been successful in spite of Hunt.

Incompetence is incompetence, and Abbinett's Pavlovian response to the criticisms of Hunt is seen as facilitating the problem.

Hunt should have been far more proactive with, and attentive to, the issues facing the convention. Instead, in the midst of chaos, he was quoted as saying, "It's all good."

No, it wasn't all good. It was a poorly conceived, poorly planned, poorly executed disaster.

The fact that Hunt can't come to terms with reality means one thing: he needs to go.

Bowling alleys are found at the following casinos:

Red Rock Station
Texas Station
Santa Fe Station
Sunset Station
Suncoast
Orleans
Gold Coast
South Pointe
Sam's Town
Terrible's

All of them have more than 50 lanes a piece.

Off hand, I can't think of any lanes that aren't attached to a casino.

One of Obama's advisors is Billy Vasiliadis, a registered lobbyist and CEO of R&R Partners. Obama's also accepted money from Vasiliadis.

All of his talk about not accepting money from lobbyists? Well, Obama goes to great length to make a distinction between people who are registered as federal lobbyists and those who are registered as state lobbyists.

Obama isn't the pure soul people make him out to be. He's learned the ways of Washington very, very quickly... which means he's easily corruptable.

While it's true Obama's rhetoric and oratory make me feel good to be an American, it underscores his naivety.

He says he brought ethics reform to Washington. Anyone familiar with the legislation knows how weak and ineffective it is in dealing with the issue of lobbyists in Washington.

What *else* has he accomplished in Washington?

Katy called Senator Clinton, "status quo in a skirt." While it's mildly sexist, it couldn't be farther from the truth. The fact is, the policy positions of Edwards, Obama and Clinton differ in only the most minute ways.

Senator Obama says he brings people together, that he's able to bring compromise. Is that what we want? Weak, watered-down Democratic ideals pursued in a way so that Republicans will support them? We've had seven years of a president and vice president who have worked to push the country violently to the right.

Now we need a violent shift back to center. Obama says he'll compromise.

Clinton will fight. And she's proven she can win.

I love all the talk about how divisive she is. And Bush isn't? Here's a well-known election fact: people don't show up to vote *against* someone they don't like. All this talk about a Hillary candidacy somehow being a boon to the Republicans? It's nonsense.

If people showed up to vote against a candidate, 2004 would've ended much differently.

Bill Clinton was able to overcome Gingrich and the Republican-led House and Senate. Think of what Hillary could accomplish with a Democrat-led House and Senate.

No compromise. Pure progressive policy.

It doesn't have to be a dream... we just have to stand up for Hillary.
