		<description>&lt;p&gt;Brilliant strategy, McCain.  Ask voters to discover for themselves how eloquent Obama is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McCain started his Senate career a crook, and has ended it a kook.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;My friends in Wisconsin explained it to me this way. They are Republicans through and through and they state that there is an organized effort in Wi. to vote in the Dem primary so that Obama becomes the nominee because they believe McCain can easily beat him. How can our Democratic primary process allow this? What other states allow Republicans to vote in our primary/caucus? The DNC should worry about this more than any primary scheduling. At least ALL 50 states will be viable this time as far as choosing a nominee, but lets go all the way to the convention. I see the purpose of the Superdelegates now.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“A holiday from history”, forsooth?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can we please get a flap tomorrow about how John McCain is plagiarizing lines from Rudy 9iu11iani? Oh, I thought not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still, it’s warms my little Democratic heart that even after trailing Obama by 15%, Hillary picked up a passel more votes in Wisconsin than all the Republicans put together.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;You said:  “Tell you what, &lt;b&gt;just have your campaign&lt;/b&gt; put it up on YouTube and give a link to the gracious concession speech.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whose campaign?  you mean the Clinton campaign?  I’m assuming so by context, but since we at FDL haven’t endorsed anyone in the primary — that’s been our firm policy so that we can do critique of all sides, that was a bit confusing.  Don’t try putting words in Jane’s mouth or this blog’s either when we haven’t said them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then go and read &lt;a href=&quot;http://firedoglake.com/2008/02/19/wisconsinhawaii-results-thread/#comment-1283505&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;her comment here&lt;/a&gt; about how Obama and Clinton have been trading the petty interruption trick back and forth since Iowa.  Plus, the word from both campaigns is that the candidates spoke by phone.  Yes, public acknowledgement is better — and more polite, and I’d certainly encourage the Clinton campaign to do so, but since we didn’t get to see the whole speech on the news, how in the hell do we get to know whether or not it actually did or did not occur?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Really, the nitpicky bullshit from all sides has got to stop.  On teevee and in the comments by people who jump on the tiniest little thing to try and blow it up into some big, stinky mountain when it’s a tiny little molehill.  It is getting on my last nerve.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;So the argument seems to be that it would be good manners for Obama to allow Clinton to give her concession speech without interruption.  The only problem with this viewpoint is that Clinton hasn’t been giving concession speeches.  She just launches into her stump speech, often complete with attacks on Obama, at a time when all the cable networks will give her coverage.  I don’t see why manners obliges the Obama campaign to go along with that, giving her free airtime to get in her shots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some have suggested here that we don’t know whether there will be a concession later on in the speech, since the networks cut it off.  Tell you what, just have your campaign put it up on YouTube and give a link to the gracious concession speech.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eventually the real concession speech will come, and I expect that the winner as well as the loser will handle it with grace.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Why? There’s plenty of differences amongst them to argue about!! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the BIGGEST debate should be to clear up the MISconception that democrats as a majority are liberal! &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;precinct caucus starts as soon as the primary voting closes at 7pm.  march 4.  our precinct caucus is at the elementary school where our voting is.  i’ll bet if you check with travis county dems, they’ll guide you to your precinct’s caucus.  it’s multi-layered.  and delegates go to the county or state caucus from there (a different date)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
