oh man... that was freaking hilarious.
Ha ha...
Ha...
Hmmmmm...:!:
Seriously though, I totally expect Hill to make another attempt in 2012 if she loses this one.
Later, the guy asked me about Huckabee, and what his campaign was. I told him, "Well, uh... He really likes God." So Huckabee now has one extra supporter, I guess.
I really think she'd be an ideal majority leader or something. She knows the game and the party really well. I think people have said before she seems to be a more of a legislator than a leader.
Obama is making some inroads (a former Richardson supporter and latino labor rep just spoke up for him), but I think it's folly to equate what's happened with coastal latinos to their Texas counterparts. Their situations are fairly different, and we all know that everyone in Texas has a fairly unique character and it sure seems like most have an independant streak a mile wide.
Obama has a great chance in Texas as long as he campaigns there. Also wearing the hat won't hurt.
Ah, so there's even less to the scandal than I thought.
You know, I bet that at some point in my life I held the door open for a serial rapist, or something. Clearly I'm unfit for office.
The only similarity to Whitewater is that real estate is involved, really.
I think it's pretty great that this shit is the worst anyone's found on him. Because it really is nothing.
Ugh, that just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
Hopefully he starts soon. Clinton is visiting my town tomorrow, and supposedly Chelsea and Bill may make stops later on the month.
Motherfucker.
A very good, great political mind that has spelled doom for the Republican party after being handed a practical carte blanche after the Clinton years.
I would have cut the motherfucker for messing with my family. There are some things you just don't do, even in tough politics, and that's one of them. Adopting that girl was one of the best things McCain has ever done as a person; I view this as worse than Kerry's Swift Boating because it drew a 9 year-old innocent into the crossfire. McCain's like, "Sure he made false allegations that might traumatize the fuck out of my school-age daughter, but let's let bygones be bygones, right?"
I feel like reliving your defeat, asshole.
I can't wait to see that used on Obama...
"Would you be more or less likely to vote for Barak Obama if you knew he fathered a black child..."
Wow, is Clinton really starting in Texas already?
Ignoring WI to get a week's head start in TX seems really dumb. But I'm not a renowned strategist like McAulliffe or Penn, so what do I know? Clearly they know what they're doing.
Wisconsin doesn't have too many delegates and is already strongly supporting her, according to the polls. Clearly it's safe to let Obama run amok there unchecked, because he's demonstrated no ability at all to change people's minds, given some face time.
To be honest, though, if those articles are correct, Clinton might not have as much money as they say they do and can't really afford to book venues that aren't in her last-chance states.
Unless she wins it then it counts
It reminded me of Obama reacting to questions about whether Hillary might be his running mate. He was trying to say "Fuck that, no way in hell would I use Rove's smear tactics," in as polite a way as possible and without actually insulting the man. He probably figures that directly criticizing Rove would be seen as directly criticizing Bush, and he's probably correct.
It also borders Illinois, so doesn't count.
She can lose Wisconsin tho.
Yeah, it also makes the Lee Atwater reference from a couple weeks ago a little more clear. Invoking Karl Rove's name is going to inflame people in either direction. Obama is far too sanguine to really want to evoke that kind of rage.
Actually, I think "invoking" Karl Rove's name is probably the best way of putting it. I wonder if Cheney uses a pentagram to contain him when they have strategy sessions.
Wow. Just, wow. The cognitive dissonance required to write this article is staggering.
Yes, it's the Obama supporters who are making the race dirty. Was Krugman asleep or something the week of SC?
Your own last paragraph, you sycophantic douche, is the reason why many Obama supporters will be very, very sad if they have to pull the lever for Clinton in November.
I really hope your interpretation is right, because I have a lot of respect for the man. But I really hoped that the one place you'd be allowed to say "Fuck that guy" is when he'd been responsible for badmouthing your family.
He could always bring up Afghanistan.
In a previous debate, Barry said something like "the violence in Iraq was intolerable, then completely ridiculously intolerable, and all the surge has done is bring it back to intolerable." Except way classier.
Well, I imagine the "keeping troops in Iraq for 12,000 years" pitch might do something.
There are no troops left to maintain the surge?
"The only surge Iraq should be seeing at this point is a surge in their own trained military and police force, as we reduce and remove our presence from their sovereign nation."
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
I love the guy, but I think the amount of attention on the man himself makes it easier to dismiss him as a fad. Shit like this is just downright scary. I'm supporting Obama for the presidency in '08, not for god-emperor.
STEALTH MUSLIM!
It's expected. I honestly doubt that many people will do that. A tighter Pub race would have made it even less likely, but based on how few people vote in the primaries for candidates that they actually like, I have a hard time believing that more than a few will show up to vote for someone they really despise.
