How cute your posturing outrage and generational pride is! You go, sweetie! Kick some boomer ass! (Hint: irony)

especially when Hillary would get off a good one-liner. When she came out with the "need a Clinton to clean up after a Bush" crack, he sat there frowning and sulking while the audience roared. By contrast, when he took shots at Repugs (like his hilarious swipe at Romney), Hillary laughed along. I think he is basically a petulant narcissist who needs to be adored and who resents any attention directed at others.

From today's AP wire:

Democratic Sen. Barack Obama assured Western voters Saturday he believes in Jesus as well as the rights of gun owners....

Obama's crowd and his mention of God was notable in Idaho, one of the smaller prizes among the 22 states holding Democratic presidential campaign contests on Super Tuesday. Idaho's caucuses offer 18 Democratic delegates to the national convention.

Obama urged those at the rally not to believe everything they hear about him....

"They send out these e-mails saying, 'You know Obama, he's a Muslim and he doesn't pledge allegiance to the flag,'" he said. "Don't try to just insult not just me but people of the Islamic faith by playing on people's fears. I know who I am.

"And then there are people who say, 'well he doesn't believe in the Second Amendment,' even though I come from a state - we've got a lot of hunters in downstate Illinois. And I have no intention of taking away folks' guns."

Obama didn't mention that he does support gun control and has a record of voting for it in the Illinois Senate. He backed limiting handgun purchases to one a month, but he made no attempts to ban them. Today, he stands by his support for controls while trying to reassure hunters that he has no interest in interfering with their access to firearms.

Obamabots say: Who cares? Doesn't matter! Lalalalala! I'm not listening! Lalalalala!

I'm not sure why this is news. Will it win the plastic people's vote?

"I would guess that they would vote for McCain to keep Hillary out," Dixon says. "I don't know that they would do that for Obama. They don't know enough about Obama to hate him. They know enough about Hillary to hate her."

The classless scoundrel. He ran off the field to hide like a beaten dog.

For the Obamas, this has always been about THEM, not about the success of the Democratic Party.

Great post--and I agree with you (even IF you are a Republican!).

According to Zogby, after all, John Kerry should be our President.

Twelve?

Who cares about issues?

But what are his legislative accomplishments, again?

Good job finding a negative to include about Clinton. You HAD to!

No true Democrat would defend it. And I don't hear anyone here really defending it--just trying to say Obama isn't a demagogue. But the story is = his health care plan stinks.

Either Kennedy's nomination mattered (as all the Obamabots screeched when it happened) or it didn't. Well, it didn't. Humiliating.

I really can't stand the sight of his smarmy face. If he gets the nomination, I will hold my nose and vote for him. But he sometimes seems more eager to attack Democrats and embrace Republicans than vice versa--and it is turning off huge sectors of the Dem base.

It's interesting.

Got a quarter more votes than all the Republicans combined.

resolution because he didn't have to. It was a misleading comment. He *has* voted to fund the war several times.

You Obamabots live in a parallel universe where your candidate is a flawless beacon of unsullied purity and others are flawed and evil. By the way, I voted for John Edwards today, in case you were curious. If you want to argue with Hillbots, I suspect most of them are running around inside your head.

Except for this: "[Clinton] also needs to develop a new rationale for her candidacy, since voters have not been flocking to the polls brimming with enthusiasm for the notion that she is "Ready!" or that she promises a third Bill-and-Hillary term." I thought Clinton got more votes yesterday overall than Obama, and those blue-collar and female voters are voting for *something*, surely...? In a largely substantive and objective article, this seemed like a gratuitous crack to me.

are reaaally paranoid.

when he says: "I just think there is a tendency for people to get all spun up about these things, and sometimes when that happens we need to take a deep breath and remember that the only polls that count are the ones that opened this morning." You'd think the press would remember that.

Gotta love ol' Axelrod, spinmeister extraordinaire. Looking at the exit polls, he really ought to be trying to figure out a way to convince older voters, blue-collar voters, white women, and Latinos to vote for his candidate. Just yelling "momentum!" at them hasn't done it so far.

No one can seriously doubt Obama supports reproductive choice. I do have to say, though, that (as John Edwards pointed out in the South Carolina debate) if Obama is going to lambaste other candidates for their various votes, then he has to defend his own. And I also think he has to come up with a better explanation for the "present" votes than the weird hemming and hawing he stammered out in Myrtle Beach.
