That's exactly what I picture when I think of Hillary supporters.

I know why you're here, Farkers. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us, Farkers. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.

Especially in the last couple of weeks, you can hear the crowd at Hillary speeches sounds more and more like a crowd you would get at a WNBA game. Noticeably higher-pitched.

Well, as someone who has seen previous campaigns I can't help but ask...

What are rich actors with no connection to reality advising Americans to do when the time comes to vote?

but who will vote for her in 2012, when her base is dead?

Hillary can't dunk, but she has good fundamentals. That makes for a better game.

I found Hillary's running mate! The bad guy from Poltergeist 2.
Clinton/Kane '08 !!

 
themindiswatching 2008-02-29 09:37:53 PM  
If Hillary somehow won, would she name a woman to be her running-mate? Not that she actually will with these poll results.

/much calmer now, no longer need the tinfoil

George Clooney, ambassador of love and good looks for the UN endorses Obama but believes it's not helpful for hollywood to stump for political candidates.

I'm not sure George counts as completely disconnected from reality. By all accounts I've heard, he actually bothers to study the issues before opening his mouth.

True, yet somehow I doubt the knee-jerk anti-Hollywood backlash would be any different.

Voted for Obama on Thursday (Austin). My parents are Republican and they are voting for Obama in the primary but won't in the general. I think I might be able to convince them though.

No, it is not, for the double cheese burger has both beef and bacon, where as the BLT sullies the bacon with vegetable matter.

Houston, and I'll be voting for Obama (and hitting the after-vote caucus).

I recycled the "vote Hillary" campaign mailer I got from my local congressperson. Sheila Jackson Lee is a black woman; I guess "woman" and "party cog" trumped "black" and "reasonable ideas" when she made her endorsement decision.

I certainly considered it. Also considered taking it to the local Obama campaign office as a suggestion for others, or just posting it somewhere in the neighborhood. I just got the thing today; I have a few spare moments until Tuesday.

I early voted on Wednesday in Austin, and there was a line of 75 people. 73 of them looked like those ladies, or their male counterparts.

Just a little something about the Ohio ballot. I know that Rush is asking his people to lie and say they're democrats and vote for Hillary. Shouldn't someone look into that? I just filled out my absentee ballot and I had to sign saying that I was supporting the Democratic party and that I wanted to be known as a Democrat, and at the bottom it said that any fraudulent information given on that sheet was punishable as a 5th degree felony. (I'm sure the Republican ballot looked the same.)

I really think should send it back to the Hillary campaign.

Postage due... in a big fancy envelope, so not only will it cost a little more, maybe they'll get it because it looks important?

You can change your party affiliation at any time in most states.

I figured you would have to be able to. No way they can prevent you from voting for anyone.

 
TheCid 2008-03-01 02:52:23 AM  
I take that back, it's more like "you can change it any time before the registration deadline" in most states. Some of them do let you change it the day of. In GA you don't have to be registered with either party, but you only get to vote in one primary. (At least, that's how it looked to me. But I did absentee, so I'm not 100% sure.)
