Kentucky (92% reporting):
65% Clinton
30% Obama
Well, the good news for Hillary is that she totally spanked Obama in Kentucky (this is a sentence in which it is best to avoid the state abbreviation). The bad news for Hillary is that the 12 pledged delegates that Obama’s picked up (so far) give him a total of 1635, which is a majority of the 3253 pledged delegates (I don’t think this includes FL and MI, however). So she is now officially unable to win the nomination without the help of the superdelegates – and she’s trailing on those too.
In fact, Obama is now only 85 delegates away from winning the nomination outright, and he’ll get even closer after the rest of KY’s pledged delegates are allocated, and after he gets his share of Oregon delegates. If Dave is right about him winning Oregon, he could easily be within 40 or 50 delegates of the nomination by tomorrow morning, with 94 pledged delegates left in PR, MT, and SD, and a little over 200 superdelegates still in play.
Also worth noting, it appears that Greg Fischer has lost the KY-SEN Democratic primary to Joe Lieberman Democrat Bruce Lunsford. I’ll still root for Lunsford to beat McConnell, but I’ll be holding my nose and not expecting him to vote much differently from Mitch if he wins.

Hi guys!

I’ve let downstairs know that this thread is now open :)
no foodie talk!
Aloha, Eli and Ya’ll!

Aloha, CTut!
Sup CT?

Can you Digg it, baby?
teebee is so boooooooooooooring
dugg and thanks neuro
hey TWEETS just talked bout bread and butter …we for one are on the same page
Hi Eli. You funny.
I’m thinking the republicans are planting some “dems”.
I lost my cable and internet for awhile… It was statewide…! Another nicked submarine cable…? ;-)
i cant listen to this numbness
((( Eli )))
*gasp* … are you saying it’s
almostover ?No dear, this is the Seeds
This is one ugly loss for Obama- YIKES.
He’ll no doubt get the nomination- but shit- he’s stinkin the place up.
food?
ROFL
Here’s Ted Kennedy’s website, and comments are open for your wishes. (Thanks, Leen)
Hi Eli! Great post, as always.
:)
sunspots
Hey, CT. Enjoying the scented breezes?
It’s pretty hard for me to see a path to the nomination for Hillary at this point. She would have to totally dominate the last three primaries, *and* the uncommitted supers.
I just missed the last 2 hours of punditry (OK, I probably didn’t miss anything important). But what is the conventional wisdom so far re: tonight’s results?
McCain recruiting DKos trolls
Hi, siri! Thanks!
Then it was time-well-spent.
Hah … Tweety getting Caputo to backtrack … he’s getting sharp as this goes along …
No way. This is progress!
Hi Eli.
lol CTuttle. We have that problem here regularly. In the friggin South West!
lol
Hi LS.
This was over a month ago, and no disrespect to those who’ve yet to vote …
God, the Mrs is bringing magnolia’s in the house and they are killin me!
Heh, it nuked my arse…! ;-)
he…issues…me food obsessions
This arithmetic argument on behalf of Obama has been a disaster. Ever since it started, his campaign has lost its edge and scuffled along. It reminds of Dean Smith’s four corners clock running catastrophes.
Tropospheric skip?
Think baseball…it’s August and the Clintonista team was statistically eliminated from the World Serious General Election waaaaaayyyyy back after the all-star game. But the season goes on….
Ignoring the wins huh?
From DKOS (Teddy’s link):
“Help spread the word about John McCain on news and blog sites. Your efforts to help get the message out about John McCain’s policies and plan for the future is one of the most valuable things you can do for this campaign.”
Hmmm. Well, there is the fact that he wants to serve the Third Bush Term…and the fact that he supports torture of human beings by the United States of America…and that he wants U.S. troops to be at risk in Iraq for the next 100 years…
Are those the kind of messages you had in mind, McCain Campaign?
John McCain:
Worse than Bush
OMG, we’ve got to fuck this up totally! Advice?
that’s an excellent way of thinking about it… i’ve not heard it put that way before but dayam, that makes a lot of sense (at least to me)
thanks PS
Sounds like Barack Obama is close to declaring victory, at least if you count “pledged delegates won” as victory (via email):
I saw the beautiful pics of your “Raven Memorial”. Your wife must be quite the gardener.
I would love to see a fake “honeypot” Daily Kos set up just for the McTrolls. Not only would it keep them occupied and away from the real thing, but it would give the Democrats a handy repository of vile comments that they could definitely tie to Mr. Honor & Integrity.
Good luck to them, the folk over at DKos and HuffPo are very unkind to trolls …
To me it looks more like a football or basketball game with time running out and the lead staying pretty much the same.
It’s more like playing out the string in the NBA and gunning for a high draft number.
My new blogging chair just arrived via UPS!
McCain totally rawks…and Cindy rawks too. He’s going to save the world from Al Qaeda in Iran nuking us soon. With their enriched Iranium bombs aimed at Arizona.
Roger Andout
double overtime and still moving the goalposts
OT. Is Howard Fineman wearing a new rug?
Teddy!
What’ya get!
If Obama doesn’t win big in Oregon, he will have had a disaster night.
Here’s a tool to fight back with…! ;-)
What exactly would a high draft pick be in this context?
Nice one and I’m sure CTuttle enjoyed the baseball analogy … *g*
((( CT )))
Is there a chance he won’t win Oregon tonight?
She just came from the neighborhood garden club meeting. I have never seen a person that can focus and stick with stuff the way she does. If you have seen Thom Hartmann’s ADD analysis, we are the personification of the hunter-farmer deal.
Veep
VP?
i don’t know basketball so that may be a better analogy for those who do. i understand just enough baseball that i understood the PS point.
I always enjoy a good baseball analogy and the no-hitter that Lester threw yesterday in Fenway…!
Your my horse if you never win a race!
Put the ball in the hole.

Harold Ford and Joe Scarborough.
I would support any deal that gets them both off of MSNBC
I would be shocked, to be honest.

I’ll take Dr. Pepper, thank you very much … *g*
Awful lot of old money in Kentucky.
The Draft ?
Suz, I’m doing a post on mixed messages at M&C, any suggestions for a Utube…? ;-)
Ooo, me too, me too!
Dodd saying it is over….HRC can’t win, but she can stay in, use a positive tone. He sounds convinced it’s a done thing
I think the chances of him losing Oregon are very small- the chances of him winning by only single digits thus dumping a big lead is perhaps even money.
I have one, that and the vertical mouse have helped.
TeddySF must be busily assembling said chair…
You gotta quit smokin’ that shit. You got the munchies all the time.
JoeScar telling Harold he is better at losing than Barack is at winning …
Joe Scab should be with his expecting wife instead of infecting the airwaves.
I don’t know about a new rug, but some have speculated that he is using a new shade of hair dye
It is a done thing, it’d been a done thing. This is all bullshit.
Lunsford was more stolen money than old money. He just stole it legally.
No, I’m thinking of registering where McCane supporters are blogging, and infusing some sense on that site. Not as a troll, just asking interesting questions.
Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too ?
Joe Scar lecturing Obama about how he should be running his campaign
Na.Ga.Happen.
… but that’s never stopped her before …
If HRC gets on “the ticket”….she better ditch the Penn and Rove influence or I’m really gonna be p*ssed off. I really have a problem with that.

Kentucky also had an R primary today. From the Lexington Herald-Leader:

Right…like…nevermind.

Check out this Buddhist gardening book I just got her.
ct, how about its a mixed up world
Ever? Sky Saxon and the Seeds. THE original garage band. He lived in an empty house in Hawaii! Summer of 66 I think.
Even Alan Keyes scored some votes against McCain, LOL
I tried ‘Insane in the Membrane’ but the links were disabled…! ;-)
Thanks, I bookmarked it … my dream is to create a Zen Garden, right after I hit the NYT Bestseller’s list …
ct, you could always go with dazed and confused

And Obama’s no moron.
Scarborough is wasting his breath.
What else is new?
Dodd is up speaking about how great Kennedy is for our country. Positive message.
And Teddy, good on you for the new blogging chair. Keep us posted. I need to do something…
Sky Sunlight Saxon is currently involved in a number of musical projects including his band King Arthur’s Court. King Arthur’s Court is described as a neo-tribal, shamanic, psychedelic musical group that plays with an improvisational style in the same spirit as Ya Ho Wa 13, regarded as one of the best American psychedelic bands. Sky Sunlight Saxon formed King Arthur’s Court along with other original Ya Ho Wa 13 member Djin Aquarian (guitars). Other band members include Steve Kozyk aka Scones (bass), Aaron Basler aka Aon Slane (keyboards), and Justino Polimeni (percussion). King Arthur’s Court will be touring the US West Coast in March of 2008. Sky currently resides in Marin County California when he is not in the studio or on tour.
Sky Saxon and the Seeds are currently writing and recording new songs with Kerry Brown and Billy Corgan.[1]
Look at those Puke totals…about 60% of the total voters that voted Dem.

She’s not getting on the ticket. She (and her husband) won’t survive the very intense vetting all Veep candidates will be subject to. They may not even want to undergo it.
I would like to see Dodd in an important cabinet post.
Although maybe we need him to stay in the Senate.
Would hate to see some Lieberman Fellow Traveller get in that seat…
I’ll check that out.
LMFAO…stop it!! No, don’t stop!

Once again, more than three-quarters of GOP voters came out to vote against their party’s presumptive nominee. What’s that say, punditocracy?
Have I missed anything?
Good for you both!
Raven, that gardening book is incredible!!
UH, Yea

Perfect on again.
PERFECT!
Truth be told my buddahhead shrink turned me on to it. Are you out there????
Loo Hoo- I thought of posting something along those lines, but decided I didn’t want the FBI to come knocking at my door!
I’m talking about the people who finance everything out there. Pols are bought and paid for from day one on some podunk city council or wherever they start. That’s an old time southern good ol’ boy network. Dailey in Chicago had nothing on these boys.
Take a deep breath, it’s not like there weren’t plenty of trolls in the first place. Don’t give this dork too much credit.
Yeah! Thanx a bunch! That one is perfect! ;-0
Is there a reason you like to run from one side of the room to the other and strike the wall head first?

Very cool.
That’s for damn sure. I moved down here from Illinois in 84 and Tom Murphy in Georgia took the cake. What a rouge. And then there was Zell, Newt, Barr. . .
MSNBC pundits seem to be trying to convince Sen. Clinton that she can be the next Ted Kennedy if she loses the nomination…
Not a bad thought although I don’t know whether she could rise to that standard
It doesn’t matter…we’re already on the Main Core list..
They’re coming to take us away, ha ha
What is Harold Ford doing for a living these days?
She can’t hold her booze like Teddy.
There you go, LOL. The possibilities will grow as the campaign further ensues.

damn
More bad news. Hamilton Jordon died of cancer. (Andrea)
is there a link for the hamilton jordon passing?
Got it.
TWEETY is a turd
What a day…RIP…he’s been sick for awhile…Gawd…I won’t say what I’m thinking, but you can guess…it’s not fair.
20 years
Not a good day for older-generation Democrats…first Sen. Kennedy’t brain tumor, now Hamilton Jordan dies of cancer per MSNBC
shut up TWITTY
R.I.P. Hamilton Jordan
Peace and Love to his family
Hamilton Jordan lived an honorable life.
I dunno, I heard some genuine emotion from him after Andrea announced that Hamilton Jordan passed away.
Ted Kennedy is a strong Horse and will pull through …
You know, I realize Tweety is not popular here but he personally knew the dude. WFT, let him say his piece.
Did they work together in the Carter administration?
Jordon (pronounced “jerden”) helped Jimmy Carter take on the Democratic establishment as Obama is doing
although I would not stretch the analogy too far
We have to be careful not to become what we so decry. . .
Jordan was Carter’s campaign manager and White House chief of staff iirc
Hamilton Jordon.
Apparently so, I heard Matthews say that he worked for Jordan. I hadn’t realized that.
I’m believing that, personally.
He said some dumb ass things about himtoo…let the corpse get cold twitty before ya diss the guy
Hamilton put his money where his mouth was.
Oh I wasn’t decrying, I was defending Matthews.
Certainly a standard one could attempt to achieve.
Tweety on Jordan, May 2000.
I know, I was following your thought. sorry
YAAAY! Obi’s comin’ up!
i LOVE to hear him speak. he makes me think this thing isn’t alltogether lost (meaning the whole entire country!) to the damage of the bu$h years.
i think it’s called “Hope”.
s
Oh, the opportunity. But I ain’t gonna.
Schwartzenegger saying that the tumor is inoperable.
’s all good, I was starting to get confused *g*
Jordan foreshadowed the evils of Whitewater by being the victim of a bogus special prosecutor investigation because somebody said they saw him snorting coke in a nightclub. It came to nothing but wasted some taxpayer money.
They can still use chemo and radiation if the operation is too risky …
Dr Schwartzenegger?
and gamma knife
Hasn’t Jordan also led a camp for children with cancers? I think so. He was on Imus’ show several times, mentoring him on the cattle ranch for kids with cancer.
Matthews doesn’t talk as much about working for Carter as he does for Tip O’Neill, given his commentary on TDS about the secret dream of being a Senator, may explain his fascination more with the legislative than the executive branch.
Gamma knife.
O’ course, if Ted was my father, I’d take him to see Dr. David Simon at Chopra Center in La Jolla …
Arnie’s a lot of things, but a TRUE SOURCE isn’t one of em’.

I owe you a quality root beer, sadly.
Beat me to it. Dr Frist Diagnoses Terry Schiavo Redux.
More likely it’s Mr. Maria Shriver, passing along the family news.
His wife is in the family.
As I mentioned below Hillary needed to have a massive turnout in Kentucky. She’s prematurely trying to argue she has the majority of votes…but as soon as the results come in from Oregon that’s going to be gone.
Oregon already has had 856,000 ballots cast in their early mail-in balloting. Generally about 30-40% of the votes are cast on election day. If things hold up that means that 1.1 and 1.3 million votes will be cast in Oregon’s primary…compared to 881,000 in Kentucky.
While I can’t guess what the Dem/Republican splits would be, I would guess that Obama will even surpass Clinton’s total vote numbers for the night if he gets a 10% win in Oregon. And given that Hillary is only minimally ahead in total votes after her premature counting of Kentucky votes before Oregon…he only would need a 51-49% split to go back ahead in the popular vote.
Exactamundo
which math did he use? is it really true or was that his opinion?

yeah, that had her hand all over it! GOOD on her!
Jesus Mary and Joseph, it has BEEN over for at least 2 weeks!
True. I’m hoping he’ll be around for a long old time, but the prognoses (?) I’ve heard so far are not encouraging.
officially?
The caucuses make the popular vote such a bogus metric, though. I suspect you already know that, though.
He’s not talking numbers (that’s Chuck Todd’s game) it sounds like pure opinion on Timmeh’s part, although he says any “objective Democrat” would agree…
Hellllpppppppp.
right. ok. so WHEN does she GO AWAY?????
*SIGH*
He’s up
That AND not supporting the initiative against gay marriage. What a guy!
Uncle Teddy has been the uncle to the Nation since 11/22/63.
There are lots of alternatives available to treat these serious ailments, I’m sure the Kennedys will look at
all options …
Ah, the power of hyphenation!
OMG Michelle looks AMAZING, dynamic! more so than usual, and how pretty is kids are!
I think that is true; heard it on CNN as well. And that the Super Dels intend to follow the will of the pledged delegates, so that makes the numbers come together.
I got hit hard by the Kennedy news.
If you want to get all Law and Order on us, nothing will be truly official until the last week of August in Denver, after the roll call of the states.
Chuck Todd does talk the numbers, says Clinton would have the highest share of the popular vote IF you count Florida and Michigan…
But it’s not about the popular vote, it’s the delegates, stoopid
look at his little girls…sigh
Did you get your Jordan link? here
if he’s not my next president, i am leaving!
cannot GO THROUGH another year of hating my president. THIS IS AMERICA!
And here I thought BobbyG did that his own self.
Tweety notes Obama’s “very attractive family”
As sad as it may be, people die.
yup!!!
Gee, look at all those hard workin’ workin’ class white Americans in Iowa hugging Barack and Michelle Obama!
The Obamas are such a beautiful family :-)
sorry peterr – was trying to determine if it was a factual declaration or an opinion that timmah was declaring
awwwwww. valleygirl. it’s not over, hon! i know the feeling. chin up sweetie. it’s OUR TURN to win!
Orange last time and Lime tonight … quite bold …
me too i decided
Again, they ignore the caucuses. For a truly fair count, you need to apply a multiplier to caucus states – I think it’s something like 60x.
thanks eg for the link
Good move on Obama’s part to pick Iowa for his speech tonight…Oregon time zone would be way past the press deadlines…and lots of our bedtimes!
If it’s Timmeh speaking, it’s usually safe to bet on “opinion.”
you sure do
DEF one of her colors! and it’s GREEEEEN!
I’d love to have them over and spoil them rotten … *g*
“Daddy, you might be POTUS but this nice man makes great cookies !”
IF TIMMeh’s speaking, it’s BOOTS TIME! in colorado!
Yea, and opinion that everyone on god’s green earth except the clinonista’s know.
wasn’t in the mood to be acknowledged by all the happy picnickers in the park?
yes! FOR TED KENNEDY! This guy’s always RIGHT ON the right message!
Fork.
We call that “Lime Green” where I come from … y’all might call it Leaf Green …
Ohjeez, I just noticed this in my inbox, from the Fischer campaign:
Niiice.
*smirk* NO doubt! chicken chit ahole. sorry, other than the movies, which i loved, i am no arnie fan!
Ooooohhhh! Smackdown of the Repugs in Kentucky! Over three times as many turned out in the Democratic Primary (685,516) as the Republican (195,500) .
Hillary Clinton D 458,704 65.5%
Barack Obama D 209,729 30.0%
“UNCOMMITTED” D 17,510 2.5%
John Edwards D 14,196 2.0%
Republican Primary Results Candidate Party Votes Overall %
John McCain R 142,795 72.5%
McCain got less votes than Obama! Even if half of Hillary’s voters “defect” and the rest stay with Obama (and the turnout doesn’t shift much) Obama would win. So just how many Republican “moles” re-registered in “Operation Chaos”?
Translated: horseshit
no. no.
it’s Lime. and PRETTTY on her! it’s just that it’s also GREEN!
No one would be dumb enough to fall. . .oops..
I thought it was Bobby until June of ‘68…then it all fell to Uncle Teddy. Amazing how we have all watched that family story.
HOW COME EVERYONE’S wearing lime behind him? is this Lime Day and I missed it??? i have lime. i coulda worn it.
hehe
he speaks…and low and behold,i understand him
how we doing tonight? just got in and gotta say I’m loving this moment …
And nobody could have anticipated….
What could have been. If Bobby hadn’t been shot, I can’t imagine he could have lost to Nixon. I have no idea what the ripple effect would be, but I’m pretty sure it would have been positive.
Out of respect I’ll hold my JFK comments.
Me likey that. Those are the numbers I’ve been waiting to see.
Bingo.
omg
we wouldn’t have been saddled with Cheney, i’m thinkin
it would have been HUGE, that’s why “they” took him out!
:(
More specifically, I’m wondering whether we would be dealing with the warmed-over Nixon-era Republican zombies and dirty-tricksters that we have now.
no cue cards,no teleprompter
right! and I think NOT!
There it is.
Maybe we’d have merry pranksters and zen tricksters instead huh?
He’s America’s uncle. The country has been through horror after horror, but Uncle Teddy has always been there.
Hey Siun I guess Axelrod’s experience starting in that hotbead of politics, Chicago, has finally paid off!
There were a whole *bunch* of poisonous people who came out of that administration. Of course, there’s no guarantee that they would have simply gone away if Nixon had lost.
Is it true or is it Barak’s opinion?
i marvel at the difference in the sheer size of the crowds for him and for what’s her name!
that alone is just amazing!
I’m not getting the significance …
People die, as do our beloved animal companions:
I honor and repsect those who do all they can to serve the hope the creatures (human and other) they love remain alive…
and those who mourn the beloved creatures that left them.
And after twelve years, I still mourn my little friend K-2.
I hope we can all find a place in our hearts to respect and honor the two (or four) legs who wish and hope the two (or four) legs they honor will not – yet – be taken from them.
Yup. That is what “they” do. Don’t let yer guard down.
hes so fine
Hey, who would you rather have, Dick Cheney or Wavy Gravy?
There is irony now that the Obama story is woven into the Kennedy story; Ted didn’t know he was sick at the time of endorsement. Pretty amazing.
of course they wouldn’t have “gone away” Eli. But a solid Kennedy administration would have likely shown the light on them, i think.
it was what Bobbie was about. it was his PATH here in this lifetime!
which,
is why they took him out.
:(
so well said dedication,and to relieve pain
I’ll take Richard Alpert
Well given the pundits view of Teddy that might mean that she would be boozing it up and running around on Bill. But I hold your view. I think that Ted Kennedy elevated his status as a statesman and leader once he decided that he was not going to attempt to become President…that was sometime after his ill-advised effort to manipulate events at the Convention in 1980, I believe.
June’s Vanity Fair has an amazing piece on Bobby’s campaign.
I can hardly look.
I thought that’s what it was all about.
I’m just wondering why people aren’t following BO’s lead in being kind HRC.
I’m just wondering.
Obama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJXc6JUOUc8
his death just threw me into total hippiedom. anger dominated my late teens, early twenties cause of him, on the heels of his brother. i know tonight, later, i will cry for Ted. but i need to stay focused here and now on Obi.
wow… bo just said change is not sucking up to the saudi royal family and begging them for oil (paraphrased)
I steel myself.
You mean kind “to”. How about because he needs her?
Do look. You won’t be sorry.
If this man is not my next President, I am so sorry, but I gotta go.

Awesome.
I just love it when Dubya’s phony tough guy image gets deflated.
The last best hope on Earth. i just so totally believe that!
Oh I read it.
But I found it during a work day and had to find a time when I wasn’t going to be around people before I could open the cover.
*SO BIG SMILE* to get a hug from sadlyyes!!!!
that’s just HUGE to me.
:)
thank you sooooo much!
*tearz*
and then he said so cynically …it wouldnt help anyway
Plenty of work left, regardless. Grass is always greener… usually turns out it’s full of cow shit and bouncing betties.
Ah, I understand :-)
Thanks for leting us know…not seen the magazine.

this man is the best speaker in politics,ive ever heard
Take it easy on em bro, there aren’t as salty as some of us!
RFK, Jr. has an exploratory committee for running for office….
fantastik
si!
I sign often when commenting on the blaaahgs, “siri. Sovereign Citizen of the Former United States of America”
*sigh*
“We have won an absolute majority of all the delegates chosen by the people in this Democratic primary process. ” This is from Obama’s staff; how they describe the win.
Playin the Boss
Michelle is so amazing. Her energy just knocks my sox off! I’m always waiting for him and anxious to see and hear him, and she just stuns me every time!
Sorry.
B..bu…but…that would be the same as the “committed delegate” count since those are generated by the number of registered Democrats in the State. We couldn’t have THAT, now could we!
Best wishes to Ted Kennedy and families and the many friends of his and Hamilton Jordan’s.
It’s a strange day. We see Obama clearing the hurdle and then hear of Kennedy and Jordan. And, I finally read an article on the earthquake tragedy in China (40K dead, many more missing).
There is hope, tinged with grief. Life moves on, but it isn’t always easy.
Ha! I’m thinkin way worse.
OK
Champagne chilling for everyone here for when the Oregon results come in!
Don’t go away. There’s puhlenty for everyone!
Thank you for your correction.
Yes, I meant kind “to”.
And, of course he needs her.
My question was, I’m wondering why folks here aren’t following his lead.
Sorry if my question was not clear.
I don’t know what I was thinking.
IMHO it’s partly pragmatic and partly his class. The lack of class is one of my major issues with her. . .but just one.
life is teh difficult…add the repukes…it becomes scary and deadly
and hopeless
I’m not sure it was Chi style but I am impressed at how steady this campaign has been and on target. It’s exciting as an ex campaign sort to see how they’ve run.
tweety still flogging Hillary
There is a dangerous “element” out there on many levels.
Best run campaign I have seen in my life. They knew exactly where they wanted to go and just drove straight for it. Amazing !
Does he have a leather bra on?
Pumkinhead nobody gives a shit about big Russ cept you dildo
so,
what can we DO to help, offer hearts and minds to the Appalachian people? How can we reach them? They’re awesome people! They are just trusting Clinton, and convinced they’re right. How can we explain?, help?, reach out?
I’d REALLY like to know.
You did not answer my question.
If his Class inspires you, why not follow suit?
Perspectives. You will grant me that, won’t you?
sorry it was Timmeh and he went for the blue silk garders,and feather boa

EWF at the Obama Rally now. Shining star
I’m kinda hoping Hillary will do it…
I think it was extremely brave to keep to a largely positive campaign, even when it got nasty in the middle …
*choke*
omg
THAT’s funny, SD.
That is what you want in a manager of a country.
hey there, hope your daughter is safe and sound and thanks as always for your Sunday post.
“Shining bright to see what you can truly be…”
Ever. I enticed my daughter to listen to this and impressed how historic this speech is! My kids both support Obama, but it was wonderful.
Well, yes, but he’s not the only one.
From what I see.
How about this, I won’t comment on what you write.
Niiiiice. Thigh high boots with 7″ spikes?
i live here… be practical,they are very practical people,and i point out to them ALL THRE TIME,we need affordable heating oil,milk,perscrptions,healthcare gasoline…yadda yadda yadda
Imagine his administration!
yeah Eli. I just HOPE she does. It wouldn’t surprise me if she went out with a pout, so to speak. that’s a scary concept, “how will she “go down?”".
ya know?
I think it’s the photo-negative of Chi-Style. That’s why it’s worked! :)
Will be awesome I’m sure. Lots of bright people working for our country.
i stand corrected
I don’t understand what you are saying?
oh another HILLARY slug
She has been saying that she would campaign all-out for Obama and do everything she can to get him into the White House. Which is absolutely the right thing to say, and absolutely what she will have to do.
Don’t fear that.
She knows full well the scorn that RGJoe has had heaped on him.
She will run like Hell from that, else she will not have a party.
Wasserman-Schultz still hanging in there for Hillary.
this weoman needs to be PRIMARIED
Cr*pes ! Debbie, stop spinning ! You all look like Repugs …
i have a DEAR friend in KY. She’s a spec ed teacher in a small tiny holler there (her words, not mine). She says they just don’t want a black person, and they just TRUST her. They are such a stoic and stalwart and genuine people. I FEEL for them, your neighbors and friends. I want to explain to them, to show them to HELP them. They would be SO disillusioned and betrayed and just bewildered if she did win. I just FEEL for them. i really do!
Weapons of mass destruction was a lie, the gulf of Tonkin was a lie, Hil winning Florida and Michigan is a fucking lie. Build a war or a campaign on a lie and you know what you get.
woman,she is a bluedog
she is a DINO
I’m not happy that this is the case.
I guess I better take off.
Thank God for idiots like Wasserman-Shultz to reinforce the stupidity of DLC arguments.
What a dipwad she is. I do believe she has a challenger. Christ, a fence post would be better.
yes Eli, and I don’t trust her words in this issue like I don’t trust any of her other words. she can SAY anything. Her energy just goes nasty army green and her words are all, well, calculated. it’s there. that’s her, and i just want to hug and love AND GUIDE those who cannot see that!
they also FEAR change……i say show them by example
She won’t go down with a pout. She needed (needs) to go the whole way if she wants to have a VP future or any political future. She needs to go down as a fighter and not a quitter. When Obama has the votes nailed down it will be over. Remember, if something were to come up with Obama, she is the back-up. In order to beat the Pukes, she would have to be invulnerable to being called a “quitter” by them….whether that be now or in the future. She is doing the right thing.
Late Nite is up (a wee bit early)
That’s a biggie. They do not do change well at all.
and NBC has to give ALL of them a PLATFORM
I’m afraid people mostly see what they want to see. Or what they expect to see.
Amen Bro !
Wasserman Schultz blames the ’system’.
riggghhht.
(and i used to respect her)
I’m amazed you said that.
Exactly. If she doesn’t follow through, she will get trashed big-time as the sore loser whose vanity cost the Democrats the presidency and locked in a wingnut Supreme Court for the next 20-30 years.
yah…baby steps
OH! wobblybits said it best to me the other day, yesterday???
to just get Obi into the White House and let those folks see that the world doesn’t end, but actually gets better….
but she said it far better than that!
Put that way, I do see the point.
Though I do wonder how she is funding this face-saving effort.
why?
she is young and verrrrrrrrrrrry wise
So you figure this right-wing machine is just going to fade away huh?
There are lousy team players, sore losers, and “Talking Dead.”
And then there is Hillary. The biggest Clusterfuck of them all.
Because that’s probably what they should do.
Shorter Debbie/DLC: We should have a system where me and my peeps get to choose the nominee …
come on and give the damn results I’m way past bed time
They already have that worked out.
what did i say that amazed you?
She kept saying FIX. . .fix is right!
That they put them all on
Hopefully they realize that at the May 31 meetings they are being defeated. It sure seems that way.
With Obama as the nominee we lose “hard-working” American voters in Appalachia and women.
With Clinton as the nominee we lose young America, African-Americans, at least 500,000 hard-working campaign volunteers.
Seems like an easy choice.
Even if the machine faded away – which it won’t – the structural damage it left behind is massive, and Obama will be blamed for everything that goes wrong as a result of Bush’s willful incompetence.
to spin the shit to the already totally confused people?
I gotta crash, maybe I’ll grow some class while I sleep!
I used to like her, now I can’t stand her.
Yea, let’s just give em one perspective, the peoples republic of FDL!
omg no Raven. I am fairly scared at what they’ll resort to to retain power. no.
i made that mistake ONCE. i don’t make mistakes twice, normally. i thought they were toast when Nixon left. I’ll never make that mistake again.
pax
it’s never over, it’s the human condition
any DEM will be constantly hunted and pecked at…but they will LOSE their audience,cept for the brain dead 28%
Raven, I loves ya. Sleep well :-)
Obama can deflect any blaming. He’s really good at the “comeback”. He’s very streetwise. He’s no wilting flower. They won’t see it coming.
Tweety posed the question back to HRC’s surrogate … whether she’d like that Dems vote for McCain and not Obama … had her stuttering …
yes
I think there will be more understanding due to the continuing disintegration of the country before January 2009. With any luck Clinton will challenge President Obama for the 2012 nomination and get shut down again.
they must ask APPROPRIATE questions to bring the lies out…Tweets is lying again right now
she is winning the popular vote by bogus rules
i know. and i’m rooting for the honorable side. the Grateful and generous and “light” side. I’m one of those.
as, I believe, are you.
:)
Hell, those Kentucky Democrats haven’t been able to get the state in the Democratic column for a Yankee since Stevenson in 1952. I think that is a more apt comparison.
Plus he often responds with the simple truth, which confusifies them.
That would be great if he could make that stick. “President Bush and his rubberstamp Republican Congress fucked up America so badly that we’re still feeling it today.”
Perhaps not in so many words…
That was nothing short of a brilliant comment!!!
Yeah, they don’t relate to “too many notes”….Keep it simple…
like…The Republicans fucked up America, we will fix it.
Confusifies…now that’s some truthiness!!
badda bing
