Wyoming Governor Endorses Obama

By MEAD GRUVER – 3 hours ago

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal (FREE'-den-thawl) says he will support Barack Obama for president.

For months, Freudenthal had refused to say whether he would back Obama or New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Freudenthal said Wednesday he was impressed by the large, enthusiastic crowds that turned out when Obama visited Wyoming ahead of the state's caucuses last month. Freudenthal also said Obama struck him as "incredibly smart" and someone who gave honest answers instead of scripted responses.

Former President Clinton named Freudenthal U.S. attorney for Wyoming in 1994, and Freudenthal held that job until 2001. Freudenthal was elected governor in 2002 and re-elected in 2006.

But, vote for Hillary!

Out with the chimp, in with the pig!

Fox will love the next 4-8 years

They live for a Democratic administration in the white house. What better circumstances can the "conservatives" get to eventually dumb down the public back to Reagan erro.. I mean era. Fox! The voice of malice and loathing. Sure it'll be sour grapes for half a year but then, the evil will gestate again right before America's eyes and Murdoch and his team of liars will stupefy the public back into the graceful, hateful goose-stepping we’ve witnessed for the last 8 years before you can say Hillary Clinton. Alex, you look strung out, take a vacation.

Obama was rude

to the Ebay guy too. Hey now there's a story! Troll food.. Poor Hillary too, the media just isn't fair to her and her campaign. Bill Richardson is Judas and Geritol Ferraro is a Monster! Still eagerly awaiting Walter Mondale to weigh in.

Hilarious

The real 3 a.m. phone call = "Senator, you've lost another super-delegate". Nasty, but very funny. McCain is too old to be the president, out with the dry (maybe not!) drunk, ex-cokehead and in with the truly feeble (mind). All I can say is one of the Democrats better pick a business minded running mate who will get in their face when they’re making bad decisions because none of these people have a head for business development. It's f-ing scary!

Original article: Hillary Clinton's petition

Oh Hillary!

Your snout is showing, again. Bush rules.. And now apparently Clinton rules as well. Bill Clinton shines through really clearly now as nothing but a has-been philanderer and his wife will stop at nothing to win the office of Pig in Chief. Sure, support breaking the rules Hillary. George W does it every day so, why not?! If this isn't a character revelation then I'm Julie Andrews! MI and FL went against the rules, so now we just throw the rules out and there is no penalty? No! That's why "rules" and "laws" and "truths" are what they are. I know, lets throw our dictionaries next? Up is down, left is right, dissent is Un-American, right Hil? If you can't do something right, don't do it at all.

I'm ready for a woman president

I mean that in all sincerity. I just don't care for Hillary Clinton to be that woman. My mother feels the same way, for what it's worth. Fox News is having a love affair with Hillary Clinton, albeit they want to have her win the nomination so McBush can get a chance at being elected. A friend and I banter about our selected candidates and he always comes at me with the "experience" issue. I want to know why Hillary's experience as the first lady or as a Senator for a state she didn't even live in are so much better than a guy who served in the state legislature in the state he actually lived in and eventually became a US Senator for the same state.. I'm sorry to mention it again but the Bosnia lie was told more than once on the campaign trail and the media has yet to call it a "lie". I don't see the media treating Hillary especially rough with that one; as a matter of fact she weaseled her way out of that one on Letterman. It depends on what is is, I guess. My friend also likes to reminisce about how great things were during her husband's presidency, the things I remember the most are don't ask/don't tell and doing nothing in Rwanda. I believe that the results of the poll simply reflect that Americans are either rampant sexists as opposed to racists (yeah, right!) or they just aren't in love with the idea of Hillary Clinton being the first woman president. Okay, I've said enough and I won't say any more here at Salon about the race until it's over. I'll just argue with my friend!

@ BRCatSB

I'd vote for Barbara Boxer hands down but I wouldn't vote for Diane Feinstein if you paid me to. How is that sexism again? By all means, explain! My opinion (aside from my inherited sexism) is based solely on their voting records.

I am not part of an easily excitable misogyny machine just as I assume Joan Walsh and Hillary Clinton are not (by using the implication your statement makes and changing the charged item) racists. Your persecution complex matters though!

More lies?

Now this is the kind of press that you don't want. Of course, everybody knows that the Corporate News Network just despises Hillary Clinton.

Lieberman and Graham

Those two are high ranking "Al qaeda in America" officials, send in a drone please! Where's General Petranus when you have real enemy targets?

Tuesday, April 8, 2008 10:10 AM

No worries!

Everybody and everything that you don't understand is now Al Qaeda, Hell even the spelling can be non specific! Go McBush!

Facts just won't do..

what Joe Lieberman wants them too. Joe = part of the problem (high level enemy combatant).

Revealing video

That said I have never listened to any of those people and other than KO (who I didn't hear say anything sexist) I have no respect for their rubbish. I'm not voting for Hillary Clinton because to me she's got too much baggage (namely Bill).

Why not "You can keep your James Earl Jones"? Republicans don't like black people.
