This is a really stressful day for him. After all, his candidate needs to make something like a 15-20% margin on this one, even "counting" Florida and Michigan.

People are used to seeing african american and mixed race people in a variety of positions (2 different presidents on 24 in fact! How subversive is that!)

I'm more worried about the manchurian candidate theme that somehow Obama is his own one man islamic sleeper cell. Sometimes I really wish he had a different middle name...

Right up to the point he's elected. Can you imagine anyone who instantly improve our standing in middle east negotiations than a darker skinned man with Hussein as a middle name? It certainly wouldn't be another white guy already on record as willing to blow the crap out of everything and, unfortunately, it isn't a woman who isn't even allowed to shake hands with most of the key players there because it would be haram.

If a pit bull has attached itself to your leg, responding to the event is more a necessity than an "irresistible temptation"

I was pleased with his speech last night but, to be honest, while mcCain was the only name mentioned, you could have inserted "and hillary" several times and it would have flowed just fine.

It is in my homestate of texas but that doesn't stop you all from continuing to make a big deal about the "win"

I agree with electrorobot completely (for once).

We should strip superdelegates of all their votes and nominate whoever has the most pledged delegates and/or popular vote! What? That isn't what you meant?

But the "decent interval" would not have been with a few weeks of his gracious, supportive testimony to congress. I reckon the decider is trying to make as many mischief decisions as possible in his blessedly short time.

I know at least two hardcore, john wayne republicans here in Texas who were quite proud of their hillary votes and their contribution to Operation Chaos. (One even went to the caucus)

And I don't hang around with that many republicans...

Shawn, you do realize that a comment like this makes it obvious you are a republican troll?

Or the most stupid democrat in the country...who supports Clinton?

A woman president would be fine with me, just not this one, not anymore. Clinton lost me for good with the "CINC threshold" nonsense.

Pelosi? Feinstein? There are plenty of good choices, women who really have devoted their professional lives to service to country. Women who really have accomplished things in the bad times and helped bring on better times. Women who made their mark with their own work and their own names.

I'll still vote for clinton if she is the nominee but it will ONLY be for the sake of the Supreme Court nominations 2008-2012 which are critically important. And any Clinton supporter who will not vote for Obama and hand SCOTUS decisions to a republican for another 4 years doesn't deserve to be called a democrat.

about people getting the vapors about coded sexism, coded racism, coded ageism. People, pundits and candidates are talking 24/7 and make mistakes when speaking off the cuff. They say things that, if they were writing, would look at the verbiage and say, "well, that's not going where I want it to go" and edit it out. However, once launched in the world of videotape and digital capture, it's out there. (Never had an email you wanted to recapture? Never make a statement and, as your lips were still saying the words, your brain screamed "Nooooooo")

Most people are tired of Clinton because of they are tired of all things Clinton, not because of sexism. Many are distrustful of Obama because they feel he is too naieve to take on the republicans, not because he is black. And some are scared that McCain will win the presidency because he has become a pandering hack, not because he is old.

Get over it or, to coin a phrase, "Move on."

So if/when Obama is the candidate, do you plan to stop the venom? Even if Clinton tells all her supporters to behave and act like democrats? Or if Clinton somehow pulls this out, do you plan to reserve some bile for McCain? (He's and empty suit, too, you know.)

Or do you plan to continue to trot out the same old tired bs until after the election...or maybe even later against President empty suit Obama?

Just curious...I only read one out of every four or five of your rants anyways.

Kate means the nomination was hers to lose, by playing it out according to the DNC rules she lost it, and now she wants it back. And the rules say "no".

You want hobbled, Try hanging Mark Penn and Colombia off your left leg and your once esteemed, now red-faced hysterical, husband off your right while campaigning. Now THAT's hobbled

I would view demonization and vilification by Bill Kristol as a marker of success.

He, and people like Scaife, would be high on my list of folks I would NOT want an endorsement by.

If I were a true democrat, that is.

Elephantman and Kristol WANT me to think that they support Clinton because that would make me support Obama IF I DIDN'T THINK I was too smart for them and that they really want me to support Obama because they are really scared of Clinton...

Sheesh...just pass the wine and I'll take my chance on the Ibogaine.

And Clinton's pandering? I forgot; if she does it, it doesn't count.

Whatever he did or said in the past, when going national, he does what makes the most sense. I'd like that in a president for a change.

Check out their other postings; I could only stomach the first page or two but it is pretty clear he/she doesn't like anybody and is pretty foul-mouthed about everyone.
