Bowling for votes in Wisconsin
All the remaining 2008 contenders -- except Barack Obama -- indulge in an artery-busting blue-collar orgy of fried fish, bratwurst and cheese.

  • "Who wants wimpy candidates?"

    Who indeed, NYAmiga. Why, I think we should nominate the most ruthless candidate we can! I think we should nominate a candidate who will literally stop. at. nothing. to win the nomination! Morality is overrated! Fair play is a fairy tale! Why have any principles or scruples! Just win, baby!

    I assume you'll be voting for Martin Bormann, then?

    Seriously, I think you need to take a look at your moral compass.

    Obama wants to "win clean." Hillary does indeed intend to "do or say anything to win."

    But don't take my word for it. Here's what the New York Times reports that Clinton's own advisors told the newspaper about Clinton's strategy for pulling this thing out:

    "1. Use two upcoming debates between now and March 4 to draw a strong contrast with Mr. Obama. “We’ve seen dramatic changes when that’s happened,” said Mark Penn, her chief strategist and pollster. (Translation: expect her to unload everything she has on him.)

    2. Hope “new information” about Mr. Obama will emerge and discourage voters from supporting him. (Translation: see above.)"

    Got that? According to the New York Times, Hillary Clinton's plan for winning this thing is to fight dirty. Are you proud? Inspired? Pleased? Do you operate this way in your own life?
