Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

wow- wouldn't think he would choose someone to the right- but Huck is likable enough and he needs to throw something t the Christian conservatives

Dang Craig -- I was just about to compliment your Fabulous Moolah action figure from previous thread.

Could it be up for grabs in a punditry contest for C List readers?

(Just kidding -- see it's someone else's property. sigh)

Jamie,

How do you interpret the "will' of the people?

The State primary/caucus result?
The vote of the political body of the elected official (SD)?
The popular vote? If so, of what, State, Total?
Other?

Huckabee would certainly help McBush on his so-called "lack of conservative credentials". Far as I am concerned it would be tweedle-dum and tweedle-dumber! If a Repug has to win in November, I would prefer a ticket with 2 moderates and for this I think Tim Pawlenty would be a better choice. I may be biased of course, as my birth place and home state is Minnesota. :-)

Warren,

Obama's position in 2002 was the correct one but he renegged on it whenever it was politically expedient. He often does the politically expedient. Which is really strange unless you notice ... Oh yeah! He's a politician.

Craig,
Someone from this site is hacking into our computers.
I thought they were doing it through trakkey, but they
as soon as you go into comments, even if you don’t sign
in first. One of my other computers was infected after I
signed in to trakkey for your site. They actually shut
down your computer and without restore, they don’t work
again. The 2 they hacked so far were both Vista.
Can you tell me how to go about filing a complaint.
Also, if you check to posts, you’ll see others have been
Talking about how they hacked into “Heathers”
Computer. Thanks for any help meg

Repost from last thread:

Rez - you are right about the purpose of the SDs, but that "vote the will of the people" was what the Obama folks (campaign mouthpieces and supporters) were arguing when Hillary started talking about lobbying the SDs to vote for her even if their districts did not. And one could argue that only the USHoRep SDs would be so constrained - certainly the Dem senators and governors would look at statewide results.

God, are we back to arguing the war positions? Didn't we do that in Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr? OK, good. I have to go.

McNumbnutts/Huckleberry '08. Has a weird ring dosen't it?

Rezdog

If I were an SD I would probably use all of that in some sort of point system to make up my mind. : )

1. Who do I like 2 points

then 1 point each.

2. How did my state vote (if a state wide office holder)
3. How did my district vote (if a local office holder)
4. What was the popular vote
and 5 (because I'm a politician) who would benefit my next campaign or appointment the most.

Plus some other intangibles as I happened to think of them.

huckabee has a personality. besides, rice was supposed to be the russia expert----sure hasn't proved herself there.

I believe it willl be sanford.

Jamie I agree with you on "political expedien[cy]". That's a defining characteristic of politicians, no matter how "high minded" they like to portray themselves to the approving (or dis-approving) citizens. My beef in this is that all the candidates have a record of traditional politics, but only one of the two left gets dissed for doing it. I suppose many still believe that so-called "new politics" that Mr. Obama professed passionately about at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Unfortunately he has turned out to be ever so the politician than anyone else. It makes me feel he is a hypocrite. I'd respect him a lot more if he said "in a perfect world, this is the type of new politics that could profoundly change our country, but it takes commitment from the political class and until we get that commitment, I will be a traditional candidate as well." At least that is high-minded AND honest. !!

Craig,

The Rice vote doesn't surprise me. I was just looking for a match up where it made sense to dump her and I imagine a lot of the people playing the game were looking for the same thing.

Please excuse my sentence structure in the last post. It's late here and I'm doing route planning for my weekend in Paris... Soon to go to sleep.

Jamie,
Sounds like a good plan.

Pogo,

There are hundreds of SDs without political constraints.

On more that one ocassion, I have argued that the SDs should vote their preference, however determined, coin toss if so desired. Why else have them.
I think Pelosi and others were trying to offer some guidance with their comments. They have no clout in these matters. Just gotto go to the DNC rules.

meg, wow don't see how that's technically possible, but will ask our IT team to take a look

Oh Lord...no one is hacking into anyone's computer, from this site.

"I'm doing route planning for my weekend in Paris..."

Tom! You lucky dog!

:-) I've been there a few times... It's only 2.5 hours from where I live. Normally I drive but this time I am taking the Hi-speed THALYS train. you can get some nice deals to go to Paris... My hotel is for 2 persons 60 euro per night... not bad. Going to try and help Mauro find some distribution for his comic books.

Good night... and ... be good... and ... HILLARY 2008 (with all do respect to Obama supporters). :-)

The Grand Rapids NBC station is saying there is a rumor of a major Democrat making a big announcement of a Obama endorsement at the Obama rally in Grand Rapids later tonight. Carl Levin , maybe? Any guesses?

Hey

What it means to be a Chicago politition like Obama

"Chicago Overturns Foie Gras Ban"

"the repeal comes as residents have accused officials of trying to micromanage people’s lives, with talk of prohibiting smoking even outside along the lakefront and eliminating transfats from restaurants"

Talk about not having anything to do.

Edwards is endorsing my Ham Sandwich.

*does a happy dance*

Craig, I've also contacted Type key.
I thought I was being paranoid, but when it happened to the second computer I knew it was my sign it.
As soon as I signed, it shut down.
Same with the first computer.
And I know a couple of people were mad at me yesterday.

They were mad at Heather and she had someone hack into her account to. Please look back and you'll see where others and Heather were talking about it.

It may be tied into type key. Thanks, meg

Edwards to speak soon! What a great day this turned out to be!

I was busy and I had to come back. This one almost makes me smile ... Brian is going to become ecstatic swooning with the vapors. If it turns out to be an Obama Edwards team, he might not survive the campaign due to endorphin overload.

Heather's problem has nothing to do with type key, Meg.

Hey

I love it!

Jamie you're sweet, don't worry I'll manage to get through somehow. But considering Obama's soft spot with the electorate Edwards might be a good idea, though it didn't help Kerry much. But Edwards and Obama are a closer match than Kerry-Edwards was. I think Obama should give Edwards health care, after all it was Edwards plan that Hillary stole.

"This one almost makes me smile ... Brian is going to become ecstatic swooning with the vapors."

ROFL. Brian's wet dream. The one after him and Chris Matthews tap dancing in Larry Craig's bathroom.

"after all it was Edwards plan that Hillary stole."

She didn't steal his and if I can be nice to you, you might just make a stab at finding that last vestige of human kindness hiding somewhere in your big toe.

That must be what the local NBC stationsaid they couldn't report yet. Great day , indeed. The sun is shining. Red Wings play at 8:00.

You need to get your type key sign in. It will clear up a lot of the problems you seem to be having.

I'm not sure but I think that means 12 pledged delegates can now vote for whomever they choose! Anyone want to guess who they are going to vote for? It's as if WV never happened!

Okay. Click on this link

https://www.typekey.com/t/typekey/register?lang=en-us

Fill out the form according to the instructions. You may then have to confirm from a received email.

Once you have your Typekey ID activated come back here.

Now I can no longer see it because my log in is now automatic, but on the left side should be a place to log in with your Typekey identity and password.

You should get a message that says, "This site requires sharing email". Click yes. That is just so Craig has you email it doesn't get shared with the other listers.

Then click in the box that says "Remember Personal Info" (This is important because it means you won't have to sign in again unless you wipe out your cookies)

Post a comment and hit submit.

If all went well your post will have a little blue key behind your name and the next time you get here it will greet you personally with "thanks for signing in Meg now you can comment"

Let me know if you run into problems.

Jamie, I am already registered with type key.
I think that's where the problem started.
So I contacted them by email to check it out.
Because as soon as I log in it crashed my computer.
That's after it had been working fine for a week or so.
That happened on 2 differnet computers with vista.
My xp is fine.

Meg,

I had to reregister with Typekey. For whatever reason, this site wouldn't recognize my former Typekey identity.

Try creating a new sign in.

My old typekey ID was with my old XP computer. The new ID is with my new VISTA computer. Don't get me started on VISTA .... you get banned for that kind of language.

Meg,

You might enjoy this since you will probably relate. My next computer is a MAC

http://jdurward.blogspot.com/2007/06/golden-oldie.html

I wonder what Biden is waiting for.

thanks, Jamie, for the webmastering there -- i heartily endorse your instructions for meg, re: typkey

Great timing, look at the size of that crowd!

Huge Crowd in Grand Rapids!

And to do it Michigan, fucking genius!

My next computer is a MAC Jamie

My husband has been talking about getting a mac next time and I've been kinda cool to the idea. Now I'm thinking maybe so.

Meantime, I'm going to keep posting without signing into type key for a while until the problems solved.

Thanks Jamie!, Meg

Craig, the only thing is that I was already using type key when this problem started. This is the only site I chat on. And I still think the problem stems from here. Did you see heathers problem this morning? Thanks, meg

I'm thinking one campaign slogan should be

Put a Bush in Basra.

Bring our long suffering troops home. Send the soon to be retired GOP and all of their immediate family members over 17 and under 65 over there to take their place.

Anybody wonder why Edwards waited until after WVA to endorse?

Just think if he had done it before W VA and Hillary won by the same margin. It would prove that he had no sway, nothing. Too big a risk for him.

His endorsement is pretty much worthless. And not a suprise either. Wonder what deal he cut. Two time loser.

"I had to reregister with Typekey. For whatever reason, this site wouldn't recognize my former Typekey identity."

Jamie, just saw this post.
Will do.
thanks again

Meg, i am told there is simply no way for a user on this site to use TypeKey or anything else to get another user's IP address or any other relevant information for messing with somebody else's computer. TypeKey has its problems but that just is not one of them.

Anybody wonder why Edwards waited until after WVA to endorse? Bowmanc

I think they held him in limbo until after this loss in order to change the subject from WV. Instead of talking about this huge loss and how he can't carry the working class, we talk about Edwards. This has been an long awaited one. And Edwards state went heavily for him. Edwards wants to jump on with the winner and you can't blame him.

Edwards speech just now -- can't remember an endorsement speech that offered more specific, personal and heartfelt-sounding praise for the other candidate than for the one actually being endorsed

I think this is the Ticket!!!!

is Elizabeth there? don't see her

Thanks Craig,
I guess I am paranoid after all.
And I am waiting to hear back from type key
meg

But this proves he can't carry the working class. If Edwards had brought that to the table, why wait? it would have put Hillary away forever if he has moved WvA to Obama, but he can't, they didn't try because they knew he couldn't deliver.

As I post, I'm listening to a netcast interview about a devastating Obama/Wright scandal - if it hits MSM, all the SDs will leave Obama. Won't go into detail now, waiting for more sources. This is BAD!!!

Anybody remember Richardson? And he thought he cut a deal, next December he can get together with John (after John grows a beard) and commiserate about what could have been.

But this proves he can't carry the working class. If Edwards had brought that to the table, why wait? it would have put Hillary away forever if he has moved WvA to Obama, but he can't, they didn't try because they knew he couldn't deliver. Bowmanc

I still think they're changing to subject.
And I think Edwards was waiting for a deal,
which they may have settled on wants they need him badly enough.
Do you think he will be his running mate?

Meg & everyone, listen, this is important. You aren't the only ones having problems. I checked in here before I left work, and saw what you were discussing, and I realized that the same thing happened to me, over a week ago. I was on this site, when my computer locked up. It was after quitting time anyway, so I just decided to leave. When I finally got everything closed out, I tried to shut off my computer, but it wouldn't turn off. I finally gave up & turned it off manually.

The next morning, when I started the computer up, it looked like it had been wiped. All my settings were gone, and I couldn't find anything. I called my nephew who is a computer tech at the bank, and he came down & recovered it all for me. It was all there, it's just that my user account had been "corrupted". He had to set me up another account, & it's been working fine since then. It doesn't look as anything was bothered, most of our data is stored on a remote computer or a secondary drive.

My guess would be some type of malware maybe, but I have no idea how that would explain what happened to Heather. And I have been having problems with Typekey, too. I can't log in at all here on my home computer, that's why I waited to get home before I said anything. My anti-virus is more up-to-date here. I'm going to do a scan, just in case, but it seems to be OK here. I hope they figure this out soon.

One can always hope.

But I doubt it no advantage.
Edwards brings nothing to the table.
No state or followers.

Edwards is only useful if the world is treating you like a leper.

jeejee I did a scan and it didn't show anything on either computer. And my anti-virus is up to date. Could it be typekey?

meg ---------------------

I don't want to say anything yet, but the dots are starting to connect. Don't know how this will get to MSM, since there is a major effort to protect Obama (at least for now, this could all be about setting him up for a big fall in the GE). I'll continue to follow this story.

Edwards brings nothing to the table.

How about the working class?

Gordo

Keep us posted!
You've got my hopes up.
Novac was on this morning saying the Hillary camp had something big on Obama, but she doesn't want to be the one who brings it out. Novac told them he'd do it, but they wouldn't give it to him It wasn't clear if that was under her orders or what.
I'll be waiting.

Meg, I really don't know. I'm not sure I was even signed in when it happened. I'll have to check my receipt for the computer repair tomorrow when I get to work, and then I'll know what day it happened & can check the posts for that day. It may have nothing to do with it at all, but it can't be a coincidence that something has happened to three people who have no other connection than this place.

If it is some type of malware, maybe it could have used the link to Heather's blog to do some mischief, who knows. But it would have to be linked to this place somehow, because it occurred on different days.

If he brought the working class, why didn't he help before the W VA primary?

Answer is simple, no influence.

As soon as he pulled out of the race, his capital was worth very little. So he had to get in the game, before it was too late, and it became totally obvious that he had very little to offer. Gore has the same problem.

thanks for the specificity there, jeejee, always helps the tech folks when troubleshooting. i will pass your note along.

Gordo.....STOP THE MADNESS. If there's more scandal out there it will surface.

t can't be a coincidence that something has happened to three people who have no other connection than this place. jeejee

jeejee, it happened on 2 different computers, both updated and in perfect condition. Both Vista. One last week, and it's been down since. One today, and I was able to restore it.
And I was on this site logged on to type key when it happened
on both of them.

And I don't chat anywhere else. So there's no place else it could have happened.

That happened on 2 differnet computers with vista.
My xp is fine. said Meg.

I have xp and mine is fine. If it talks like a duck and walks like a duck and looks like a duck it must be a duck

suspect Vista

¡yo soy Horsedooty!

et tu, John?

Gordo

Would the dots that are being connected coming from Jeff Rense? Or is it from the tabloids?

Maybe they're trying to influence the race here in KY, although I didn't think they cared. Remember, John Edwards came here on his "poverty tour"? It was a nice gesture, of course, but we also remember & appreciate everything the Clintons did for us as well, & we're not going to switch loyalty just because of Edwards, when we already feel like Ted Kennedy has betrayed us.

Edwards Ups the Ante In Kentucky
By Big Tent Democrat, Section Elections 2008

John Edwards gave a great rousing speech for Democratic values. He spoke very gracious and respectful words of Hillary Clinton. And he endorsed Barack Obama. It was a very impressive performance by John Edwards.

There were some effects though. Some intentional - to step on Hillary's huge win in West Virginia and to vouch for Obama among white working class voters. One was not - upping the ante in Kentucky. John Edwards, populist hero with a proven record of connecting with white working class voters has vouched for Barack Obama. Does Kentucky buy it?

The Kentucky contest, previously a foregone conclusion for the Media, now becomes a test. For Barack Obama. He needs to go in to Kentucky, WITH John Edwards, and fight for their votes. He needs to show he cares about the voters of Kentucky. Particularly white working class voters. An interesting development indeed.

By Big Tent Democrat
http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/5/14/194836/588

Although to me more of a test of Edwards' endorsement

Meg, jeejee: I think you might be right about a virus or malware that was hiding on Heather's site. My computer has been really slow and I've had to turn off the power twice this week when it froze.

I don't think Typekey is necessarily involved; I suspect it was malware. Am running a spyware scan now and it's found a few bad threats.

Please note: this does not mean that anyone hacked into Heather's site and put up porn photos. That is an entirely separate issue.

But think you're on to something with the malware.

PC Tools Spyware Doctor is available free on the web and hopefully will clean up the mess.

Sorry, folks, I have XP. On both computers.

But, dog, I haven't been to Heather's site! How about you, Meg?

If anyone has a problem with malware, etc., you can do a system restore with a date PRIOR to the problem and get rid of the problem. I have had problems after accessing this blog and finally this was the only solution that restored my computer (non-MAC) to prior condition. I have an anti-virus, cleaner, etc., but the system restore took care of the problem.

Well, you missed a show, jeejee.

But cannot believe Typekey is the issue.

here in Kentucky we dearly love Hillary and Bill Clinton .......vote May 20th and give Hillary a landslide victory

Yeah, my system restore was turned off at the time, don't know who's bright idea that was, not mine, but it's on now. At work anyway. Crap, I need to check here.

I 'm beginning to doubt it's typekey, because we all use it, and it's used other places as well. I have a feeling we may never know the answer. I'm going to not sign in for a while anyway, just in case. And like I said before, I can't sign in at all here at home. Peculiar.

"here in Kentucky we dearly love Hillary and Bill Clinton"

She's going to do especially well here in my little corner of the state. I think Pike county made them honorary hillbillies already.

About John Edwards endorsement---

And the absence of Elizabeth Edwards at the rally---

From USA Today:

"A person close to Edwards, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he wanted to get involved now to begin unifying the party. Obama also signed on to Edwards' anti-poverty initiative, which he launched Tuesday with the goal of reducing poverty in the United States by half within 10 years.

When he made his decision, Edwards didn't even tell many of his former top advisers because he wanted to inform Clinton personally, said the person close to him. Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, who has said she thinks Clinton has the superior health care plan, did not travel with him to Michigan and is not part of the endorsement.

David "Mudcat" Saunders, a chief adviser for Edwards on rural affairs during his presidential campaign, said the endorsement should take some sting out of Obama's resounding loss in West Virginia.

"For Barack Obama, I think he ought to kiss Johnny Edwards on the lips to kill this 41-point loss," Saunders said."

Craig, Isn't Mudcat Saunders an old friend who I believe you have said had incredible insight into Dem. politics--I seem to remember that from your
old guest spots on John & Paul's radio so long ago.

Edwards is just running to the head of the parade. I like him last time around, and I thought he was poorly used as an asset to Kerry. This time, he didn't have the spark or the message. Timing is everything, and his time has passed.

I haven't been to Heather's site! How about you, Meg?
jeejee

No, I have never been to Heathers site.
And this happened to one of my computers last week
and another one this week. This time the restore worked,
not last week though. I have to go back and work on it.

I went out to dinner (Indian) did I miss anything, did Al endorse Obama?

*Throws down a banana peel*

Obama comes to GR. Edwards comes to GR and endorses Obama. Yet , I don't go to GR , eventhough it's only a 20+ minute drive from here. It's as if it never happened. I assume the Van Andel Arena provided free Kool-Aid tonight. Go Red Wings!

Careful corey you don't want to slip and break your neck.

No Brian, nothing new. The AR dead-enders are still there.

Obama's message would have fallen on deaf ears in Holland. No , that was for all the happy dancers , Brian.

AR dead-enders?

*scratches my bald head*

I'm gone for tonight. I want to watch Craig on Dan Abrams, much as I despise that little toad. ( Abrams, I mean Abrams.) I'll check in tomorrow morning & let Meg know if I find anything.

It's pretty easy to endorse when the outcome seems inevitable. It's not like he puts Obama over the top.

He wiped WV off the news, that made the endorsement worth it. Also he's party royalty, and this sends out a big signal to the other big names.

New glasses Craig?

About the only sour note to the Edwards endorsement was the part of the Obama crowd that booed him when he said nice things about Sen. Clinton.

It would seem that quite a few of his adoring throng are rude, crude, socially unacceptable, and probably shouldn't be allowed out in public without their nannies.

It's been a big week in GR:

http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/05/the_police_and_elvis_costello.html

"Cindy McCain, the wife of the Republican presumptive nominee for president, has sold off at least $2 million she held in funds with investments in Sudan businesses."

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/14/cindy-mccain-sells-sudan-investments/

And McCain has the gall to refer to Obama as elitist?

Jamie I agree the booing was over the top, but come on you know the same thing would happen at a Clinton event. Passions are inflamed right now. Once she drops out the healing will begin.

Brian,

Senator McCain married a very wealthy lady. As a result he has donated virtually 100% of his income for years to charities of one kind or another. You may not agree with him politically, but at least he backs his mouth with money.

Abrams is really giving Craig time tonight. He's the only one on MSNBC who does.

If Obama is in such great shape, why is it important to wipe WV off the news? Most of what I heard from MSM was that the 41 point win does not matter.

Jamie for christ's sake we're talking about Sudan here. You know human rights abuses, puppet of China, Darfur? SUDAN!

On September 9, 2004, the United States Secretary of State Colin Powell termed the Darfur conflict a "genocide", claiming it as the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century.[7]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan

"you know the same thing would happen at a Clinton event."

No I don't know that. She has often said nice things about him while speaking ... the worst that has happened is silence.

The majority of the rudeness seems to have come from the younger crowd he has brought on board. His own tendency to be sarcastic eggs them on, something he should really get under control.

Gordo why don't you go crawl into a corner and lick your wounds.

Fox News now: more trouble for Obama

Fine Jamie, we Obama supporters are monsters. Happy now? Don't worry I'll make sure everyone cleans up nice for the Inauguration Balls.

Brian,

I agree he wife has had investments that involve some absolutely horrid actors. She has unloaded the crud.
All I'm saying is that multi millionaires tend to be more than a little dense about such things until someone puts it up in neon for them to see it.

She also has a multimillion dollar charitable foundation that does an enormous amount of good much of it in medicines for AFrica, a great deal of which relieves the suffering in those camps. In fact it was her involvement with that charity that led to her confession of addiction to pain killers and eventual treatment.

People simply are not and never will be all bad or all good.

BTW Van Andel Arena in GR. holds 12,000 people. Looked pretty packed to me!

Brian

You are such a drama queen ... sheesh ... everything is hideous or beautiful. Go take something to even out a bit.

Yeah , it was like a rock concert tonight. I didn't go though , because I didn't wanna catch anything.

drama queen? LOL, pot, kettle, black dearie!

The refs screwed the Wings out of a goal. Gee , let's let Dallas win a game!

I only scream when you attack me.

Once again , the media blows some from Obama way out of proportion! From his Detroit area visit:

Ok Jamie, anything you say is cool with me, kumbaya.

In an interview with Fox News, Hillary said this could go into "overtime". They wondered what she meant by that - not hard to guess.

Corey,

He was mildly out of line, but he is a touchy/feely sort of guy. He apologized. Case closed. Just another one of those habits he needs to unlearn or Angela Merkel is going to get another back rub.

some were talking about problems with there pc's.It was so strange but an icon showed up on my task bar and when I clicked on it it said downloading but i have no idea what it was I clicked on it but it didn't show anything and I don't know how to figure out what was downloaded.

Ruth,

It was probably one of the videos that Craig sometimes posts with his comments. You see that icon just to let you know it is getting ready to play.

Jamie,

Classy stuff here from the Clinton crowd. Top shelf!

I'm very sure they plan to invite you.

Brunhilde (a.k.a. Patsi) lighten up, you've lost, you've known for months what was coming (actually it's the only quality about you I admire). You going to spend the next 4.5 years bitching about Hillary losing?

Flavored with a little sour grapes. Go for it!

Why this panic about Hillary not getting out now? And what does that mean? If the nominee is not chosen until the roll call vote in Denver, then can Hillary just wait for a scandal (there are many) to take him down?

Thats your man Obama

What do you want to bet he scratches his nose the next time he sees her.

LOL

Is sweetie the new b*tch.

Friends don't let friends vote a straight ticket
Vote for divided government
Vote McCain

In reference to the "Thousands," of new voters that BO has brought into the party to replace the solid, hard-working blue collar workers that Hillary consistantly wins. These are all punks, high school kids most of them, they don't pay taxes, they don't contribute anything to society, they just go to school(sometimes), stay at home and live off of mummy and daddy who vote for Hillary. And this is the new Democratic base, all they're good for is creating chaos, maybe a new Democratic Party is in order. Unfortunately, they'll get their arrogant puppet because Teresa Heinz money will see to it. How, very, very sad that this is what the country has become.

Instead of investigating and sending Goofy Georgie, Dastardly Dick, and Reprehensible Rummy to the Hague for war crimes, Nancy Pelosi et al are courting babies for their votes.

Whatever world you BO supporters inhabit, I sincerely hope it becomes as wretched and hard to live in as the one your candidate is planning for the rest of us, who aren't Farrakan, or Wright or Ayres or Rez, supporters.

What rights do these kids have taking up everyone's space, dammit!

point of fact, it's millions of new voters, not thousands. Be afriad, be very afraid. A repug aint going to be able to get elected dog catcher for the next 10 years!

"Classy stuff here from the Clinton crowd. Top shelf!"

Uh, Rezfrog -- how about "old racist white bitches" -- we certainly appreciate that.

tit for tat anyone?

...and you wouldn't recognize "top shelf" if it was Balvennie.

Rezdog

There are regulars and there are a lot of new drop ins. Feelings have been running very high.

I just took a break from it all and had fun writing about John Lithgow.

Ok, patsi is going to spend the next 4.5 years bemoaning Hillary's loss and abusing anyone who voted for Obama. Your choice, have fun.

Sorry Patshi , I missed that one. Where was that today?

"You going to spend the next 4.5 years bitching about Hillary losing? "

Nope. I'll spend it just like the last 4 years -- with W.

The Obama scandals will leave millions of new voters shattered and disgusted - they will turn on Obama, finally realizing that they have been chumps.

Dude you a pod boy if there ever was one.

GOP Loses Congressional Election, Faces Bloodbath in Nov

Scandals "R" Us

Boring is U

Obama: The Repubs only hope in Nov, maybe he can lose all 50.

Craig: Saw your appearances on Abrams and you were great!

I noticed that Roy Sekoff (and the Huffington Post) are going to try and spin an Obama victory in Oregon as proof that he can get the white working class. (Roy called Oregon working class and low income, like Ohio.) Nice try buddy but Oregon is NOT Ohio. It is not predominantly working class. Even the rural areas of Oregon have become trendy and fairly progressive. Oregon was tailor-made for Obama and it is much more akin to Washington state than Ohio. It might even be MORE liberal that Washington.

I am amused by the spin, that's all.

Ally,

It's Huffington ... She flits from right to left following a golden pendulum.

Obama Bags Another Five* Superdelegates

Gordo haven't you posted that same piece about 10 times. Can't you find something new to bore us with?

Sup everyone,
Just came back form a full week in the USA. Got my tatse of MSM. I have to say...It is amazing....... The hate towards HRC is laughable (to say it in a positive light)
Am not going to comment on that though.

What gave me a really big blow was the John Edwards endorsement, eventhough he is no super delegate... Oh MY.... I was flabbergatsed.
This endorsement, at this time, is just another shining example of how old politics are used to the benefit of a flaging candidate. Shame BO, shame. You lost by a landslide in WV and U need a boost. Well, let us call John; as he would happy to oblige.....

Sad....
In a while we will see who would have been.

Anyway, while on holiday I spoke to a guy (around 30 years old) at Macy´s on 34th street in NYC. He told me: I didnt vote for her, but f#$%&. This woman has dignity and perseverance, I wish I had that "no quitters" attitude.
I listened and then moved away, I thought to myself. Indeed....HRC has the toughness to carry on, even if the whole world is against her. Even if all the stakes are stacked against her, she perseveres.
She will fight till the end. You know why: In the end, even if she loses, she knows she can sit back and say: I did all I could, I fought till th end for my people.
This to me is a true leader!!!

HRC, MY Nominee!

Interesting take on the Edwards endorsement:

John Edwards said that he would not make an endorsement until the race was over -- until the nominee was determined. Then, today, after Obama received a trouncing in West Virginia, he announces his endorsement.

Some have questioned this, asking why he is going back on his word and endorsing before the race is over. I don't think he is going back on his word at all. He is sending a message, and that message is, "The race is over."

John Edwards is saying, let's circle the wagons. Obama is our guy. The people have spoken. The race for Democratic presidential nominee is over.
