Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

WOO! WOO!

well, Craig....
you know what "they" say....

never trust a politician....... but trust a reporter even less.....

i really dont understand the rudy campaign tho.. ya can't ignore early primaries completely..

Doesn't it actually mean never offer your balls to the dog that bites you?

Euro Tom, even those of us with left-leaning tendencies who hail from Massachusetts never really have thought of Kennedy men as being virtuous. Their original wealth came from illegal activity (rum-running during Prohibition), and family values haven't always been their strong suit. What tickles me pink about Teddy's endorsement isn't the fact THAT he gave it; it is the IN YOUR FACE, CLINTONS way with which he delivered it. Priceless. I could watch Teddy screaming "HE'LL BE READY FROM DAY ONE" into the camera over and over and over again.

tylenol....
Rudy did not ignore NH..... that is a "fairy tale" told by the media.....

the only other candidate who was in NH for more days than Rudy was Romney....
who lives in the neighboring state and owns a vacation home on Lake Winnipesaukee....

I remember BowmanC reporting on going to a Giuliani campaign event and stating that it was poorly attended.....
apparently...... the Republicans from this state just weren't impressed with him...

Craig, I love the observation you made on Morning Joe that the problem with Rudy's campaign is that Rudy campaigned. :-)

The poor plunger
well he'll always have Tweety

Ty- one of the media falsehoods is that Rudy did not work the early primary states- actually he was in NH more than 100 times!!- but just did not catch on. He was a candidate without a party in a way, as the repubs could not buy into his positions on abortion and gays, - then all the scandals caused others to still pull away.

After gaining absolutely no traction he folded up here for the most part- Romney tried to buy support here but the state went to McC.

You know, that baseball thing struck me as weird. I know Rudi has probably thrown some baseballs out as first pitches, but does he have any other connection to Beisball other than having been mayor in a city with 2 teams? I just found it to be a strange gesture.

"Doesn't it actually mean never offer your balls to the dog that bites you?"

ROFL!!! Excellent.

Power Through Delegates May Be Edwards Strategy

Pogo, it's a cheap-enough souvenir when you're running out of campaign cash.

I wish Jacqueline Kennedy was still alive. She was a woman of such high class and morals. I think she would have enthusiastically supported Hillary's campaign.

As for Obama, hell yes he would be ready at Day 1, certainly as ready as Bill Clinton was on his first day. That argument I don't think is justified.

Oh and Brian, thanks for the link of that excellent NY NOW statement... I've sent it around My MySpace and to my various mailing lists. Cheers mate!

Pissy is as pissy does Euro...

BTW, am I the only person here that thinks Joe and Mika have something going on the side?

I wouldn't be shocked to hear that news next holiday season...

BTW,

Craig, loved you analysis about the difference between the Kennedy's/ Idealists and the Clinton/Pragmatists...

That was the most astute bit of analysis this campaign season. Second Best was your bit about Rudy campaigning...

Clare,

I agree with your Kennedy sentiment completely, even though I would vote for Bill Clinton in any election he runs for, I am a huge fan of the F you Ted dropped on them.

Pogo, I won't respond to Brian's "review" of NOW. Talking to Brian about feminism is like asking Adolf Hitler what he thinks about anti-semitism.

oops Patsi, now the Jews are going to be pissed.

Hey I have a question... it's 10:30 pm here, but when do the Florida primary polls close and does anyone have any ideas on what exit polling is saying?

Part of Rudi's problem is that by having such a limited vocabulary - dominated by the non-word 9/11 - hespeaks a language that very few seem to understand, and continually insists that his is the only language anyone should speak. He may end up in a great position to say "I told you so" if America is attacked again, but no one with half a brain will have buyer's remorse even then. After all, within a couple of weeks, his face was no longer in the news every night because he had ball games to go to. Oh, maybe that's why he chose baseballs - he spent more time at the old ball game after 9/11 than at ground zero. Maybethat wasn't such a good choice of a gift after all.

Patsi, I am still chuckling over your comment. You are brilliant!

"Pogo, I won't respond to Brian's "review" of NOW. Talking to Brian about feminism is like asking Adolf Hitler what he thinks about anti-semitism."

Posted by: Patsi | January 29, 2008 4:19 PM

Yes this jew is pissed. Patsi you're an ass.

"She was a woman of such high class and morals. I think she would have enthusiastically supported Hillary's campaign."

Given that she fled the country to get away from politics and its repercussions, my guess is that at the most she would have imitated the other class act of her generation in the family, Eunice Shriver, and stayed neutral at this time.

Craig,

Nice light-hearted topic this afternoon.

Even though the members of the press corp thought the gift was a sign Rudy was near the end of the trail, the ingrates could have kept that thought to themselves.

Kind of reminds me of my ex-mother-in-law. She's a wonderful lady, but I'm sure she's never had an "unspoken thought."

Brian, sorry, but it does seem that you have problems with women, especially strong women with feminist ideals. I would think that their struggle would also be your struggle as a Gay man.

And calling Patsi an ass is a bit over-the-top, sorry. The comment is FUNNY.. if you lightened up even you could see the humor in it.

T.

In Brian's dictionary

ASS: Anyone who calls him out.

Tom, they close at midnight in your neck of the woods. I haven't seen anything about exit polls - maybe others have.

I have no trouble with woman you moron.

Patsi,
You've got to be mighty proud of your son Adam standing on principle. Something we don't see all that much in politics these days.

You think Jamie? She was close with Hillary as I recall. And she could easily empathize with the strains of being a First Lady. I don't say she would actively campaign, but I just thought she might give an endorsement. However, I see your point as well !!!

My god, I am an hour late for sleep, I am going to be a wreck tomorrow.

EdVB,

Members of the press corps keeping a thought to themselves? Thanks for the chuckle...

Patsi add "moron" to the descriptor of "ass"

tee hee... :)

xoxoxoxo I have to stop, I can't stop laughing.

Euro and Patsi,

You should know that "anti semitic" humor is a far more dangerous rail to touch and other taboo subjects....

As for the gay man having a similar fight with women, you are way off in that assessment and as a straight male, I am a tad bit offended for Brian.

Well, there were voting problems in Florida- imagine that. And just where are Kitty and the Twins when the shit hits the fan?

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/orl-bk-polls012908,0,4785381.story

Excuse me Bear, but as a Gay man, I think I can also speak on the issue. and the humor was not "anti-semitic"... You are way off. And my god, people sure love being "offended"... it's the hallmark of American society it seems.

"you've OFFENDED meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

Can't we all just get along? :,-<

Euro...

While I won't identify myself as snarky, I was making a sarcastic comment. As someone who still giggles at mommy mommy or Helen Keller jokes, I could tell you were all just kidding.

My comment was more towards the Bill Donahue, ethnic mafia types who would certainly misconstrue the comment...

On a different note, anyone know how quickly brush fires move on average?

Apparently I live within 6 miles of a brush fire...wind gusts are up to 40 MPH and I wonder if I have the time to run home...

Claire,

You're right of course. They write without thinking, so why hold in any thoughts that they've actually formulated on their own.

However, the "funny" line was supposed to be the one about my mother-in-law.

I'm offended by all these people being offended. Just kidding - I don't stand in the shoes of Jews, women or gays,so who am I to even suggest what does or doesn't, should or shouldn't offend any of you who do?

Well, all, gotta run - kid has basketball game and a science project to work on. Manana

I liked the mother-in-law line, too, Ed. :-)

they move QUICKLY bear... be very careful

Bear,

Don't wonder just rush home. I expect that given the right circumstances, the fire could move faster than the wind gusts.

Bear

Depends on the fuel.
a prairie fire through tall grass almost as fast as the wind blowing it.
Short grass or oak leaf forrest, not as fast.

Jack

CLAIRE:
If you get a satellite dish and get Imus, you'll notice a remarkable difference.
Imus is on WABC, the "Limbaugh-Hannity station"
in New York, and in keeping with that theme, Imus has shifted to the right quite a bit...he's always having Michael Graham, Joe LIEberman, Mary Matalin, and others on MUCH more than the Paul Begalas and Tom Oliphants of the sphere.
You may have missed my post from yesterday...Charles comes on at 6:00 AM, does 2 minutes of news, then they cut away from New York and go to a 4-commercial set, then cut to an 8 to 12 minute farm segment, then return to Imus, who tells us who the lineup is, then back to another commercial set, then finally a few words from Imus and a guest, then to the top of the hour with another 4-comm-set, then Charles and the news, and the cycle repeats.
It's a lot different than it used to be...every 15 minutes Patrick, the head of RFD comes on the screen urging us to call our cable companies and demand RFD-TV. It's wearing thin...but INFINITELY better than Scarbucket and Mika.

Bear....
take care of yourself......

yeah.... it seems like there's a whole lot of offending going on around here lately....

as a member of the adult wing of the independent party.... I say..... SO WHAT!

EuroTom..... you are a breath of fresh air in here......

Bear,

How much time you have depends on which way the wind is blowing. If you are in the path, be very careful and obey the orders of the fire fighters.

Does Tweety ever think before his mouth opens.

"If you are not supposed to campaign in a state, why would you schedule a victory party in the state?"

DUH! The election part is over.

The man majors in stupid.

If thanking her voters is so important to Hillary it kind of makes you wonder why she didn't stick around SC long enough to thank her supporters in that state.

Dexter, thanks for the repost re RFD-TV. Doesn't sound too appealing what with the farm segments and the call your cable company-s. Why ask people who are already watching a station to call their cable companies to ask for the station? (I know, satellite vs. cable and all that, but people who CAN'T see the station can't see they plea now, can they?)

Unfortunately, a satellite dish isn't in my future. I'm not the decision-maker/bill-payer so I'm stuck with cable for the time being. I just need to haul my ass out of bed earlier and turn on the freakin' radio or listen online.

Sorry to hear that Tom Oliphant is on less...you don't have to agree with anything he says to know that he's one of the smartest people in the biz. Just listening to him raises one's IQ by 10 or 20 points. Losing a regular Tom Oliphant segment was one of the bummers of losing the Al Franken Show. Tom was one of Imus' BIGGEST defenders in the days following the Rutgers flap; he should be on every other day just for that.

If thanking her voters is so important to Hillary it kind of makes you wonder why she didn't stick around SC long enough to thank her supporters in that state.

Just following the Obama rule book when you are losing leave,,,,he left Nevada before the caucuses ended.

And yet he won Nevada, got more delegates right?

KGC..you're in california?

Just read through most of what I missed while I was sleeping today. Did Brian get compared to Tweety? EuroTom and I have the same middle name. I didn't post this earlier , but I think that Julia should go to the Huckabee thing in SF. You know , Chuck Norris might be there. That alone would be worth the price of admission. Regarding Ted Kennedy , I have never bashed him. I know he hasn't led a perfect life and people made a lot of fun of his personal conduct. Drinking etc...But I look at the fact that he had two brothers who were assassinated. I don't know of many people who have had to deal with something like that.

He did not win Nevada and in the end the delegate count was split evenly not in Obama's favor as they lied that night.

Tylenol
Yes Western Sonoma Couinty

you get the big debates this week.. going to be scorchers!

Margaret Truman Daniel has passed away

http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iKWW1kdb33sUo9eeSQETNZmKL6ZQ

A even split. I guess that means no one won. BTW KTC who has more delegates right now, refresh my memory.

And yet he won Nevada, got more delegates right?

uh no, Clinton won the majority of the delegates to the County Convention. No national convention delegates were awarded

Interesting how concerned Hillary is to make the voters of Florida are heard and she worked so hard to make sure the vote of casino workers weren't heard.

Corey...You're such a kind person...thinking of Teddy and his borthers, not to mention his disabled sister, the brother who was killed before he could make the family's first run at the presidency, and all the other disasters that have been the thread that runs through the Kennedy lives...nice of you to consider those things....

RR said... "as a member of the adult wing of the independent party.... I say..... SO WHAT!"

Amen, sister! I've read every post on this list since I 'discovered' it last April. Not posting as much lately because it seems pointless to have the same arguments day after endless day....

Senator Clinton won Nevada,
How Bushian of you to claim otherwise.
If you count super delegates --Senator Clinton is a head.

thanks jamie.. her father said my favourite political quote: "if you want to live like a Republican, you gotta vote Democrat"

Claire...my prediction was that Tom Oliphant would be guest #2, right behind Pat Buchanan, but it was 3 weeks before he came on and not since.
Somebody stuck a very large bug in Bernard McGuirk's ear...MORE REPUGGS and assholes like light-bulb-head Jay Severensin.

I expect even more right wingers...also, remember how Limbaugh was made fun of when he was caught with 500 or 5,000 Viagara tabs in The Dominican or Haiti?
Now ALL Imus has to say about Limbaugh is "the greatest mic-man in the business..." I SWEAR to God, it's true.

Why doesn't anybody talk about Edwards here? Hillary this....Hillary that....

tylenol....
are you referring to the upcoming CNN debates?

I have a dilemma on Thursday night..... I'd kinda like to see the Dem debate on that night.... but I really want to watch the new episode of Lost....

I know, I know...... if only I had tivo..... but I don't....

Supper Delegates are committed, supper delegates. haha.

So another question for the estrogen mafia, according to many of you if a woman endorses Obama she's a traitor to her race. So by that thinking that must make Kendrick Meek a traitor to both his race and gender by endorsing Hillary. Yes?

Corey because it's very unlikely Edwards will win, however he still has a role to place, as I posted earlier.

Corey...

Brian linked an article re: a possible Edwards strategy earlier today.

Last night, I reminded everyone - including Craig, who wrote the book - that Edwards' declaration that the powerful will not willingly cede their power (or their profits) matches the point Craig made in the final Chapter of POL.

He gets talked about, but not as much as the two history-makers..much like in the media....

I still believe that part of the reason it is unlikely that Edwards will win is that the media - and their corporate ownership - have made damn sure that his message has been largely kept from the airwaves and, thus, the voting public. But the major reason is that he stands in the shadow of the first viable black candidate and the first viable female candidate. this is simply an amazingly historic presidential race.

Disappointing, Dexter. Very disappointing. At least in the old days, Imus was an equal opportunity offender. Looks like all I really need to do is listen to any clips of Craig that Mad Mustard is able to post.

Catch you later folks, as the returns come in! Whoop!

So...given all the press that Hillary and Obama have been given , was this just a bad time for Edwards to run for President?

Corey,

MSNBC made sure that Edwards was minimized and now they are trying to play kingmaker with the totally slanted coverage of Clinton including that almost innauguration of Obama yesterday that was only missing the bible and poet to be official.

Edwards could still end up in a very powerful position, because we haven't even had Super Tuesday yet. He is certain to pick up even more delegates and those delegates are going to be fantastic bargaining chips.

So , we shouldn't give up on him yet?

Hillary Could Steal the Nomination Through Michigan and Florida

If both Hillary and Obama are short of the majority necessary, there will be 156 delegates from Michigan and 210 delegates from Florida, most of which will be for Hillary, sitting on the sidelines. The Clintons will fight tooth and nail to get those into the count.

Under that scenario, the Obama camp and their supporters will be able to legitimately charge that yes, they did have the nomination stolen from them. The DNC ruled that those states forfeited their delegates by holding their primary before February 5. Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. He followed the rules; what he didn't realize was that the Clintons would get the rules changed.

http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MjJkNTM5MDg5MTA2NmFhNDM5MDJiYjQwNzE4YWIzOTY=

Corey, never give up. There are rumors that if Obama gets the nomination, he may choose Edwards as his Attorney General. And, by the way, Corey, YOU are a breath of fresh air. I hate the sniping on this blog, and you have a way of neutralizing it. Good for you.

Way off Topic but...

just got off the phone with a guy that is claiming to be the head of the IRS. He wanted to send me a check for $2500 that needed to be sent to my checking account. So, which bank do you want it sent to? When I said I don't have a checking account he said ok let me have your Social Security Number so I can identify you. Again I refused and then he sorta started to get hostile and demanded that I tell him my SSN. Finally I said either mail it to the house or forget about it and I hung up. Did I mention that his accent sounded like his last job was a telephone tech line working in for Dell from India? Caller ID said the number was a 701 area code and that is in North Dakota. I would think that the head of the IRS would be located in Washington DC and would not have an Indian accent. Be careful out there.

yo soy Horsedooty!

Horsedooty: you should have asked for his SSN so you could identify him

for those that just gotta have it , early polling info

Reminder from several threads ago

Florida Secretary of State Elections Reporting Site

http://enight.dos.state.fl.us/

Dooty....
I've had calls like that...... I've always just hung up....

Corey..... let me echo Colleen..... you are indeed a breath of fresh air and a sweetie too.....

no don't count Edwards out..... just do what CBob used to say..... fasten your chinstrap and enjoy the ride......

Thanks Renee and Colleen. BTW , I saw a video of Tom Brady's press conference and I thought I heard your voice , Renee. Some woman yelled out "WILL YOU MARRY ME?!" LOL!

Jamie ,

are you sure that is a reliable site?

Looks a bit iffy to me.
Think I'll just stick with my exit polls.

Jack

Its the Florida Secretary of State Elections page.

Can't get too much more official than that. Craig wasn't sure if the reporting would be simultaneous to what you see on TV, but that is where the numbers come from.

Hey Corey,

Let me third that. You are one of the best people here and I look forward to your humor.

Look for Edwards to be doing something important for us in the future. He has turned into quite a statesman. I would not be suprised if he fought for us all the way to the Convention and beyond. His candidacy will lead him somewhere important.

"according to many of you if a woman endorses Obama she's a traitor to her race."

Uh, last time I checked being female didn't constitute race, but gender.

However, the one or two women I personally know who support Obama do not spend their time making snotty or sexist comments -- or telling outright lies-- about Hillary.

Latest lie: Hillary is campaigning in Florida! Tomorrow's news should make it clear she won nothing!"

First, I'm not at all sure she'll win Florida. Second. She did NOT campaign in Florida. Barack, however, ran ads in the state and justified it by saying that they were part of a national ad buy.

PS. Brian, Estrogen Mafia is so yesterday. We prefer Mammary Mafia.

I'm positive Maddow and Buchanon a joining forces as a team this next season. WHy oh why in the world would the two be shown together and Rachel has a a makeover. Its very attractive and striking.

Hope they take Tucker's place..... ;0)

Sturg,
You are one sick puppy. ;-)

Sturg,
"What's Kerry got that Michael Dukakis aint got?"

A tour of duty. And some misplaced medals...

Uh oh , Sturg! LOL!

Poor Rudy, never caught fire. I think he appeared to be humorless and his voice, lisp or whatever it is, just turned people off. He had this great reputation from 9/11 that people were familiar with from a distance, when the camea zoomed in on him and all his "warts" became apparent, he didn't seem presidental. Time to go back to consulting Rudy, Abu Dabi probably has work for you.

I always figured this president thing was a lark with the Rudy.......didnt cost him anything......great for upping speaking fees.....he doesnt give a damn about being president.......

That's some commercial Caroline has done on behalf of Obama. Doesn't seem to be up on youtube yet. That's a shame I'm sure you're all eager to see it in case you haven't

John Conyers on the SOTU

Tonight, President Bush addressed this Congress in his State of the Union for the last time in his presidency. Unfortunately, what we heard was more of the same. While Americans wait with bated breath for relief from an impending recession; relief from the subprime mortgage crisis; relief from skyrocketing healthcare costs; and light at the end of the tunnel in the Iraq War, this President addressed us with the rhetoric of a failed legacy. The past seven years have set this country back by decades. The only hope I found in tonight’s address was in the fact that it was this President’s last and we can now look to the future and elect a president who will work with this Congress to lead America in a new direction.

Craig close your eyes-

Per my husband

As of around 5:30- Romney was leading the trackin polls and McCain was leading in the exit polls.

Have a feeling it might be long night.... on an aside, on the main road by my neighborhood there is an electronic billboard that is going to run the election results.

Do have a question- if Hillary has a ground organization down here in Florida how is that not canpaigning?

I'd love Caroline even if she were endorsing a jelly doughnut........

Having trouble understanding the FISA legislation.
Here is Russ Finegold with a simple explaination

Jack

oops, campaigning- yes I've opened a bottle of a lovely Cabernet from the Sterling Vinard in Napa.

Good question JennBe.

Be prepared tto have to interpret my typing tonight

o/' A divine melody...glass of wine , burgundy...o/'

If you use the link posted earlier for the FL DOS you can see what's going on and check by counties to see what is reporting. Don't forget that the panhandle does not close until 8pm EST.

Brian here's the ad
http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid353515028/bctid1396506113

Aims to keep him in the box and makes it stronger IMO. That may be enough for the primary but diaster for the General. Obama needs to get back to his "I'm the candidate of everyone" theme.

Jack

First numbers: Hillary 55% Obama 22%

Edwards 18%

BTW the DOS has the results ahead of MSNBC. On the subject of early voting and absentee ballots each county is different and some report them first and some report them last.

JennBe.... yes.... another wine drinker.... KGC and I love old vine zinfandels....
and according to Craig.... both Obama and Clinton have ground organizations in Florida.... and that's cuz they're both smart....

Jack..... thanks for your videos..... ooooohhh..... Bandito Pablito is soooo cute...

Corey.... I used to wear a shirt I bought while vacationing in Fort Myers, FLA with a big shark on it when I watched the Patriots game...... a little birdie told me to retire it if they went undefeated in the regular season...... I went to a sport's store to buy a Tedy Bruschi shirt for the playoffs and they didn't have my size..... I had to settle for a Tom Brady shirt......
of course.... when I related this story to a friend at my local post office..... someone over hearing the conversation took exception to my wording "I had to settle for"..... some people just take stuff toooooooo seriously.....

Jamie

Look on the "Status " link it tells the counties and what type of ballot that have been reported.

These are absentee and early voteing ballots. may some of the Florida folks could give an idea of the locations of the counties.

Jack

Now that Kathleen and the twins aren't in charge, the SOS numbers should be honest ... or as honest as Florida gets.

"oops, campaigning- yes I've opened a bottle of a lovely Cabernet from the Sterling Vinard in Napa."
"Be prepared tto have to interpret my typing tonight"

Who cares about the typing! In vino veritas! ;-)

msnbc'' obama campaign branch headquarters' whatever happen to reporting the news instead of trying to shape it according to thier own personal views

Both Fox and CNN are reporting GOP and Democratic numbers in Florida, but the Obama campaign, (MSNBC) is only reporting GOP results so far..What a joke MSNBC has become..Let's see if things change as people complain..

JennBe,
"Sterling Vinard in Napa."
Be prepared for flak. KGC is a Sonoma girl. I prefer El Dorado county. Renee, well, she'll drink anything... :-)

damn......all's I could find at the corner was Boone's Farm......now I'm depressed again.......

Guess I better drink the Boone's Farm.........

both of them........

I've decided that MSNBC has come to the conclusion that dishonest and hated with great ratings is better than honest and fair with so so ratings.

Now if they will just give up the pretense of being a news station, we can treat it as the pornographic fiction it is

"Guess I better drink the Boone's Farm........"

At least it's not kool-aid

*ducks*

jamie.....they must please their masters........which means money, whatever it takes, eh?

What kind of claim is being made about Senator Obama in his national TV ad? It begins, "after college, he could have accepted a job paying $500,000..."

Yeah, well, I could have taken a job as a CEO paying $25 million a year, or I could have signed on as a movie star pulling down $50 million per picture. Or I could have cultivated a friendship with Dubya, and I'd be pulling in a half-billion a week with some non-bid contract for a service I could offer.

Is there any proof that Senator Obama had a lucrative offer, or are we just to take the announcer's word?

Or are they just trying to make lemonade out of lemons?

I'll have a double Absolut vodka martini, dirty, on the rocks, with 6 large olives, please.

No, no.....last Kool-aid I drank was in vacation bible school.......I didnt last long there......Kool-aid sucks and the Cookie was made out of like.......dogcrap.........

Sturge
share it with Brian and maybe he will share some of his stash. After all he's busy reliving the sixties. What's more sixties then good reefer and a bottle of Boones Farm.

Jack

Sturg,
Paisan! I figured you for a Gallo guy. Or maybe MD 20-20...

Colleen,
Six large olives? Do you want a salad or a drink?

Masters of War......poster of Mickey Goofy and Donald Duck around the Hookah........Kesey painting the bus......Mustang Sally......Aztec Ceremonial weed....Hold on a sec, I gotta dig out my damned Esquire magazines.......

yeah.....mick don and goof were seventies.......now I'm even more depressed.......

Ahhh, the good ole days of boone's farm and tickled pink!!!

Take a look at the Orange county results Obama beat Hillary by 1 vote.

The CNN coverage ... all male has beens except for one lovely, black, and seemingly honest woman that they cut to since she isn't in the room with the Boys Club.

ron paul'' the only one who has ever read the constitution

The DOS has Romney ahead but still very close.

MD 20 20 only good if you pour half into a glass and fill with beer......then you have a whole nother one......

Jamie what's the racial make up of the men?

goddamn sturg.....

now I have to wipe a good wine off my computer screen!

Just checking in briefly folks...hello to everyone.

My only observation right now is that it is extremely scary to be a person named "LardassLiberal" and to simultaneously recognize the fact that Pat Buchanan is the only person on national TV tonight who seems to make sense to me.

Talk about cognitive dissonance. I'm scared. My tummy hurts.

Three White (one may be Hispanic) and one black

If you want real coverage That's the place to go.

your right dennis kucinich '' was ignored too

A few minutes ago, Keith O. reported some Demo. figures and described them as just released..although Fox and Cnn have been reporting figures for almost an hour..

If MSNBC were a movie script, nobody would believe it.

Still not showing Democratic count on the crawl at bottom of screen..

Clintonetheus Unbound

Clinton declared winner by CNN

Ted Kennedy -- who, in 1969, had to at least be a second-term senator well over the age of 40...but still exhibiting the judgement of a teenager. Was drunk, and drove a car into the water. A woman died.

Then, later, he screwed up the Democratic Party by his continual skirt-flashing about running for president...but never having the balls to really win the job.

Meanwhile, all his cousins, nephews and other relatives are either raping people, entering re-hab or skiing drunk into trees.

Why are we still listening to this man...and to this family? It's over folks. The Kennedys were a wet dream. Get the hell over it.

I finally got it.......when people began snapping to Fox awhile back..........the bastards quietly drifted to MSNBC.........musta started about the time they canned Phil Donahue...........I gotta pay more attention........

Lardass....
maybe we should all change our names to Alice.....

I swear we've all been high jacked into Never Ever Wonderland....

Even Fox is doing a better job of just presenting the facts.

They said neither campaigned there but it does mean something and she is the winner.

Lard......that's a hell of a brush to be tarred with, wot?

OMG

Could there actually come a time when FOX can truthfully be considered "fair and balanced"

I'm the Red Queen where are those darn flamingos and wickets made of cards.

You have such a lovely way with words Lardass. Do you write greeting cards for a living?

Sturg...thing is, I was raised in an Irish-Catholic, hardcore Dem household that revered that family. But once you start doing the math, it only adds up to sad. That's it.

The Old Man (Joe) was a phukkin criminal. The son that was elected president never realized his potential...the son Robert was probably the best and most capable but got blown away before he could show it. And the rest of the story is a sad tale of a bunch of sexually repressed Irish drunkards.

How does that equal "the dream"? I have no idea. You tell me.

they're out to get everyone confused.......Fox will change to democrat and Msnbc of course is now gop......just like the clarence thomas hearings had strom thurmond attacking a black girl to defend a black guy for the supreme court.......you know? it's all wacky-nutzo......

No Brian. I don't write greeting cards. I'm just more articulate than you will ever dream of being. So there.

Fox is even using an attractive picture of Hillary

When is that satellite supposed to hit?

Okay, I've got JM and MR numbers that show virtually a tie, how is the press getting different numbers?

Note to Keith Olberman: check out some smothers brothers, dude.......

Before the jokes start remember it is south florida that is so f'd up not the rest of the state. Those south Florida residents did not grow up here. Just something to think about.

By the way, Brian...I love you anyway. You are the damn pulse of this place, dude.

Norah O'Donnel MSNBC is doing all she can to minimize Hillary victory due to early voting..If she would do her job,she would see that the results are matching the most recent polling.

It irritates me when I know more than MSNBC flacks who do this for a living.

Where'd they grow up ?

aHA! NBC owns Rupert Murdoch.

Sorry Stur, meant to say they moved here from the North East.

Oregon - I agree - Norah really focused on minimzing HRC victory. And Russert jumped on the bandwagon - I think misinterpreting the results.

some of them stopped off in charleston........

bunch of yankey's

yankeys......you mean those guys who order lots and lots of expensive cabinets?

I'm sure Labber can attest but we don't have problems voting in Tallahassee.

Victory? what victory? Victories come with delegates. The Florida Democratic primary is to politics what masturbation is to sexual intercourse.

me and my friends are starting a fund to commission a statue in honor of those nice people seeking warmer climes who like to pay people what they're worth.......

Hey Brian...are you now going on the record as being against masturbation? Next thing you know, you'll be voting for Huckabee!

no delegates have been assigned in Iowa or Nevada for that matter...right now the status the same. There is a way to award them but none have been awarded

JennBe - You are so right. Tallahassee can teach everyone how to vote -- and how to COUNT -- if they would just let us.

Of course , Brian , when you vote you are alone in that booth ya know.

Lard....I beg to disagree about Teddy. Baggage, yes. Working for liberal causes, YES.

HOWEVER....I said it many threads ago and I say it again: just GIVE Obama the nomination. GIVE it to him. Hillary cannot win against her negatives, the conservatives, right wing talk radio, asshole old fat so-called liberals like Ed Shultz and NBC. Let alone the half-assed attack by CNN.

GIVE it to him.

Ask and it shall be given. Satellite may hit U.S. AP 46 minutes ago.

In terms of Florida it is on the web site of the Florida Democratic Party and there is a statement from Dr.Dean the delegates will be seated --they just get last pick of the hotel rooms

Hey Patsi. You're probably right. I'm just blowing out excess methane in my opinions. In fact, my carbon footprint from just this blog probably equals that of a small third-world country.

I'll definitely back whomever gets nominated...unless its Chris Matthews.

Love you guys.

As the saying goes, "No good deed goes unpunished." And so goes Rudy.

Reminds me of my mother inlaw, she was a solid Republican who lived down the street from Harry Truman. She always said she didn't want to die before the election because she would vote democrat. I guess the joke is on her because she passed on 3 months ago.

"Let alone the half-assed attack by CNN."

And the full out barrage of anti Hillary coverage by MSNBC plus 12 hour a day Obama commercial.

He has been crowned, annointed, and is well on the way to canonization ... elections are cancelled in perpetuity for a life time reign.

Give it to him.."
Patsi

actually that's a funny idea, then she could run againt him after his first term....

What a news day for Truman's daughter to die.

Whiskey..you're kidding? I grew up in Harry Truman's home town. In fact, my mom grew up in the house he actually had lived in when he was, like, a teenager. We need to talk.

Jamie...did Margaret Truman die today? I hadn't heard.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz creeps me out as much as Hillary Clinton.

JohnR...I know it's tough living with halitosis. But it shouldn't be a death sentence. There are several resources available to you. Get help, buddy.

MSNBC..filling 2/3 of screen with GOP graphic while
Hillary speaks..What a disgrace..

Time for a smoke break....

For Hillary? For love? Lost Love?
