I saw him dancing naked with Goody Proctor underneath the pale moonlight!

These grapes. They are sour.

I heard he was black.

Future Vice President John Edwards has reservations about this thread.

"Sell Out": He once negotiated with health care industry honchos to be able to get Illinois' children's health care plan through the state legislature (which their proxies were blocking).

"False Hope": Because a guarantee of disappointment (Hillary Care, Iraq War Authorization, PATRIOT Act, etc) is somehow better than a possibility of disappointment?

Takes one to know one.

Vote Republican in 2008 and reject the politics of negativity.

What, people thought those two had any type of ethics to begin with???

I guess being a two-faced, lying, murdering biatch is started to bite Hillary in the ass, eh?

More importantly, I heard he has two black children.

Even worse, his father once touched a white woman in an impure way.

Mordant made a funny.

This morning I heard on NPR that all the candidates had moved on to New Hampshire already. I commented 'I bet Iowa feels like a cheap whore after all this'.

I have a feeling the nay-saying from the Clinton and Edwards camp is going to backfire. Spectacularly,

/GOBAMA!

In other words, he dared to *GASP* negotiate and include people rather than vilify and alienate them?

Maybe I'm just being an idealistic fool, but if he has any chance of winning, I'm thinking it's exactly because of this.

The shock of 9/11 has waned. We are no longer paranoid, isolated and xenophobic and are starting to open up and reach out, and we need a figurehead that reflects that. Obama's been all about that from the beginning with his "Purple America" message.

I like how Clinton's entire argument is the "Day One" nonsense. She's all for change! Except when she's got 35 years of insider experience.

That will be a tough ticket to beat to be honest. It's not a page taken from Clinton playbook that us Conservatives have been used to dealing with for the past 16 years.

Go Mitt Go!

Obama's been all about that from the beginning with his "Purple America" message.

I think if Obama's going to have any shot at the nomination he's going to need to change his message to "Heliotrope America". It just sounds cooler.

Sen. Clinton's latest ad:
"Obama is unexperienced. How is he going to take on the challenge of terrorism and health care reform when he doesn't even know where to go to take a dump when he moves in? Senator Clinton knows exactly where the restrooms are. She won't waste valuable time. I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approve this message."

Two days later:
"I did not authorize that particular ad. A staffer reused an approval clip without my knowledge"

I think more people would have a better idea of what these politicians are going to really do if they had to pick their running mates before the primaries.

Wes Clark is a huge Hillary supporter. Maybe if she had declared him as a running mate, she might've had a chance in Iowa.

Just what the hell is the Chief Executive going to do on "Day One"? Certainly not anything substantive -- Congress isn't going to whip up a sizzling piece of legislation and have it sitting there for her to sign after putting her hand down from the inauguration.

The race is still a toss up, but if it were me, I'd be playing off Obama's victory (he's good, but here's something substantive I do better), not trying to trample it with these accusations and predictions (that motherfarker won't even know where the White House is!).

Of course, Clinton also brings false hope, and millionaire populist John Edwards is just a bit of a sellout.

/Kucinich for president
//Better Richardson or Gravel than one of these three, as well

Don't kid yourselves America. Obama remembers who his true masters are. I think he's hoping for another title than President... perhaps "Caliph"? Vote for Obama if you want your daughters, or maybe granddaughters to wear a chador some day. They're boiling the frog right nwo but soon all will be revealed.

For one, cancel all pardons still in the pipeline.
It's not like the first day of school. It's the presidency.

FTFA:

Today John Edwards campaign manager David Bonior launched into the Illinois Senator charging that he was once a "sell-out for corporate interests" making the charge on MSNBC's Joe Scarborough program.

I lived in Bonior's district when he was in Congress. The man is a JOKE. I'd rather have a "corporate sell-out" like Obama than a "terrorist appeasing Saddam Hussein sell-out" like Bonior any day of the week and twice on Sunday!

/Still won't be voting for Obama
//But Bonior's word on anything is utterly worthless IMHO

Or "#800080 America" to get the nerd vote

Accept the resignations of all the outgoing political appointees, then sign and submit the nominations of a few hundred political appointees. Then go to sleep.

"We can't have false hopes. We've got to have a person who can walk into that Oval office on day one and start doing the hard work that it takes to deliver change."

I think it sounds better if I imagine her applying for a bank job.

Seriously on the "News Talk" channel in Houston this morning they read an email from a listener that said that people are going to wake up and quit supporting someone who refused to be sworn into the Senate on a Bible. So please add Bible burner to your list.

"For one, cancel all pardons still in the pipeline."

*chuckle* I'm sure Hillary will get right on that.

Really? Clinton's been leading the country for the past 16 years?

I guess he really WAS responsible for 9/11.

Ugh. Hold on, I need to pick up my brain. It just ejected itself from my skull after I read that.

The politics of failure have failed; we need to make them work again.

Nope. Just because she was 1st lady doesn't make her any more experienced than him. In fact, she couldn't get her own Health Care plan through when they had a democratic majority.

At this point in my life I don't want the history book to show that America was ran by two families for two decades.

Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton, Clinton OBAMA!*

It's three decades if you count the time Daddy Bush spent as VP.

rppp01a: I commented 'I bet Iowa feels like a cheap whore after all this'.

Not really, honestly. I feel way better about the caucus than I did in 2004 and I'm very happy with who got momentum and who didn't with our votes. Before the first count, several Clinton supporters, sure their candidate was viable, left their group to prowl the edges of unviable candidates, silently counting with smug looks on their faces. Meanwhile, the Edwards supporters were just as self-assured in their populism as last time. Edwards supporters swooped in and started spouting off campaign one-liners to get people to switch (Edwards himself was struggling for viability). Every line was responded with "that's nice," and "oh, neat," until the Edwards supporters were literally screaming their platitudes, visibly angry that people didn't care. Then, in the peak of chaos, out-of-towner Hillary staffers descended to try to influence the vote until party workers called them out on it and they dejectedly shrunk away. And yes, this was better than the 2004 caucus.

Afterwards I got piss drunk at the bar and nearly bowled over Madeline Albright as I was leaving.

Exactly. What the hell difference does it matter how much experience you have in the White House?
