Some Dem drone on CNN was saying that BO didn’t need to campaign in West VA or those other redneck places because in November, the Clintons will campaign there for him. Typical — let them do all the work while he takes all the credit. Will he be calling them racists while they carry his water for him?? I really hope they don’t do it. I know they are good loyal Democrats but really, at this point, why? I hope they have some “immediate family crisis” that requires them to abandon campaigning and “spend more time at home”.

“I think over the years they’ve tried to force some very liberal New Englanders down our throat - Obama’s not from New England, but he still fits that mold.”

Dems don’t win elections when they nominate flaming liberals.

Dems haven’t won a presidential election since the 60s, without carrying the South.

Dems carry the South when they nominate a candidate that is moderate — and isn’t a personal threat to not only the country, the way of life of more than half of it!

Actually, I think that Obama should bring Michelle out of the closet and let her speak her mind. Of course, I’m not an Obama supporter. But I think that the Rezko “Board Game” scandal and Bill Ayers are too difficult to fit into a TV bite. Michelle could easily be another Rev. Wright if given half the chance. She is just waiting to spout off.

She will take as many votes as she can and stand by for a Barack Obama implosion.

Jamal is so cute, even if he isn’t making sense tonight. I just like that guy.

No way. She’s pointed at Kentucky and Oregon.

Because he’s a typical politician pandering for voters because he is starting to realize that he can’t win without a broader coalition …. Hence the flag …

It does have merit, Rezko is being prosecuted, and Ata has plead guilty.

In addition, I would say former governor Ryan and his crew were also connected to this whole mess, Iraq, the middle east.

And just for fun, I understand exelon’s involvement in IL politics, I’d really like to see if it goes to Rezko, too…

Even, say, Texas.

Thanks, stu. I appreciate this. I’ve tried to read and understand this from Evelyn Pringle’s writings, but as it has been for so many others, it’s just been overwhelming to absorb and sort all of the details.

I’ll shall remember this as the year of political spring cleaning in an old, creaky house that’s been standing for years in an old neighborhood. Every nook and cranny you peek into there’s trash and it’s not just crumbs under the couch cushions or dust bunnies under the beds. It’s nasty stuff rodents leave behind…piles of it.

Here’s hoping someone finds the support beam holding this house up soon and knocks it down with a big ole WHACK from a demolition ball or whatever.

Like people have been saying, I think we need “boil it down” so that it is understandable (but still accurate). Well, I have go work tonight to pay the bills. See you all later.

I hope not, it would be a bad move on her part.

But then, you know, big oil is stuck with two stinking candidates, and in the end, that can only be good for America.

Rewarding Bad Behavior.
We’ve all seen it, in a resturant or a store, an out of control child being bribed by a parent to behave. Only problem is the child will do the same thing in the next venue.
Same with the Obamatons, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and any Democrat that has gone against the will of their constituents and endorsed Barak Obama.
If we vote Dem in the GE what message will that send?
The message that the can stab Hillary and Bill in the back and can get away with it. I plan on writing in Hillary Clinton come Novemeber then going down the ballot and writing in Back Stabber for those pols who endorsed Obama.
