I wonder what he meant . . .
He IS the other side.
. . . exact same scenario . . . just replace the "NH progressives" with SC "African Americans", same poll numbers, same expectation and same "analysis", and nobody is saying it but Obama's lead is shrinking.
The Clinton Camp is wise announcing defeat, that will only make their victory sweeter. And even if Hillary loses SC, she will seal the deal on Super Tuesday, with the previous, if just nominal, win in Florida were Obama has been running endless TV Commercials for about three days now.
"Then she reminds her competitors that they, like she, pledged not to campaign in Florida or Michigan, and that she will "expect" them to abide by that pledge." T.G.
"She has by far the best name recognition in Florida so would win because no one else has campaigned." Anonymous
Can someone explain to me, why have I been seeing Obama TV spots in Miami for the last 3 days?
After Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, he and Rezko's wife bought adjoining pieces of property, then she turned around and sold him hers for just a fraction of what she'd paid for it. According to the Sun-Times, it was "widely known" at the time of that deal that Rezko was under federal investigation; he was indicted less than a year later. T.G.
If Obama thinks that there is nothing to explain here, he is dangerously underestimating the American people.
Now if Hillary is such a monster, why hasn't she exploited this fact further? restricting herself to a mere mention in the SC debate. The Chicago Sun Times as told to whomever is willing to listen about this deal and about the fact that on top of Obama's lot there was also a cute mansion.
. . . I guess that the fact that Mrs. Rezko bought her property the exact same day as Obama did escape from your mathematics and is completely meaningless. Or that fact that Mrs. Rezko (BTW, why is his wife doing land deals on his behalf?) paid way above market to compensate for the deal that Obama got for THE HOUSE, not the little strip bought afterwards to certify the price.
Interesting and very hypocritical too.
Now my question is . . . why all judgements on the Clintons can to be so subjective (code words, implications and all assorted BS repeated over and over again) and everything said about Obama has to be said with mathematical precision?
Poor Hillary, its going to be some rocky eight years.
John Kerry and now Ted Kennedy. We all now how well that combo worked last time around . . .
Robert Kennedy Jr. and his sister are endorsing Hillary. That is a much more youthful endorsement to say the least.
The ghost of Reagan invoked by Obama and now the spirit of JFK milked by his heirs. How do we reconcile those two?
gezelligtexas,
What is so repugnant about Hillary's voting record? If you find it repugnant, you must also find Obama's repugnant since they are virtually identical.
Are you talking about is vote on the War? Well, if you find that repugnant:
1. You must also find John Edward's and John Kerry's voting record repugnant.
2. You must not buy that the democratic senators were misled with cooked intelligence, and;
3. You must be remembered that: (a) Obama wasn't a senator then; and (b) He had no access to cooked intelligence.
How can anyone complain here about half truths when we have witnessed a media lynching of Hillary and Bill Clinton? That he used code words, . . . that she said that MLK (his family BTW endorsed John Edwards) could do anything by himself, . . . that he insulted Obama when Bill reminded people that Jessie Jackson had won SC in 1984 and 1988 (I wonder how Jackson feels about that one). All stretches, all half truths.
Here in sunny SoBe, delegates or no delegates, Hillary will win big. Deal with it!
Once a flip-flopper always a flip-flopper.
According to the Obaminites posting here, so far:
(a) Maxine Waters is a semi corrupt no body.-- akira1 and -- spoon daddy,quoting Wikipedia.
(b) Kathleen, Bobby and Kerry Kennedy, are C-List Kennedys, especially when you compare them to Caroline Keneddy's pristine and extensive public service record. -- Philly Peef
(c) Waters must be paying some political favor -- Stellaa
Who's campaigning dirty again?
In the meantime vindictive Obamba snubs Hillary on the floor. Runs constantly TV ads in Florida (I see them every day), smears Bill and Hillary every chance he's got. He is inspiring indeed.
. . . the Clinton campaign has to be careful when they are telling the truth? What the heck?
Why is the Obama campaign and the candidate himself so menacing lately? A couple of days ago while Clinton was talking about unity after the primaries, Obama was questioning whether his followers would follow Clinton if she ends up being the nominee. What a vindictive and self absorbed person this Obama is turning out to be!! Someone needs to send him a memo, "this is not about you Barack, this is about us, all of us."
He really needs to get that notion in his inflated and egomaniacal head.
(By the way, I'd normally refrain from stepping on my own joke, but not in the service of self/Salon-promotion, and I should take this opportunity to mention that I'll be here all night blogging the results from and coverage of the Florida primary, so be sure to stop by if you're looking for information on that.)― Alex Koppelman
While you are at it, and as hard as it may be . . . don't forget to report Hillary's win here in Florida. The party has snubbed us enough, please don't you do the same thing.
About Rudy . . . who really cares at this point?
I remain am a bit dismayed by the rapidly multiplying number of "Obama Republicans" on Salon's boards these days.
. . . and the McCain democrats if Hillary gets the nomination (as she will).
It is painfully obvious how the GOP would much rather confront Barack than Hillary. Who could blame them?
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
