This Is Great News For Hillary

The blog Talking Points Memo's Election Central section (now TPMDC) had a blog post for every last opinion poll and sound bite during the 2008 elections. Most supporters were pro-Obama but the Hillary Clinton supporters were quite loud, and a little wacky.

In February, a poster called "idiotic" started posting the following comment on every story:

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS!!! FOR HILLARY!!!!

Here are some examples: [1] [2] [3]

This was, of course, a joke-- idiotic supported Obama, and he was mocking the Hillary supporters, some of whom were quite intellectual and had devised elaborate plans of how Hillary would fight her way out of the primaries. By March, the blog itself had caught on. When Hillary finally conceded, he switched his "support" to McCain: [4]

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS!! FOR MCCAIN!!!

Over the course of time, this morphed into "THIS IS GREAT NEWS FOR X", where X is a party whose life is now completely ruined. In fact, it can now be found on pretty much every political blog, and on TPMDC if you make the single post "THIS" five other posters will reply to you to finish the meme.
