There sure are a lot of "anonymous" comments here. How pathetic.
(1) Oh, snap!
(2) Who's your joke writer, John McCain?
(3) 'Xerox'? I thought for sure someone your age would say 'mimeograph'
(4) This time next year I'll Xerox you some change on Oval Office letterhead.
(5) At least my vote count hasn't hit a 'paper jam,' bee-yatch
(6) I heard your first health-care plan broke the White House's Xerox machine. I do hope you recycled all that wasted paper.
(7) Oh no you di-in't!
(8) [inspecting the back of Hillary's head] Wait a minute....yep....your toner cartridge is empty.
(9) Funny you mention that. Didn't your husband's last use of a Xerox machine result in photocopies of Monica Lewinsky's ass?
(10) What you talking about, Hillis?
For all his woeful lack of qualifications, GWB was at least a Governor and thus held an executive position. However, Mr. Obama, who has never had the chance to demonstrate that he could successfully manage an ice cream truck, has a real shot at the brass ring!
People like this, shreiking shills who bemoan Obama's awful and hideous "lack of experience," are at best willfully ignorant. Obama has been very careful to go over in thorough and clear specifics, from his victory speech Tuesday through his stump speeches through tonight's speech. So why don't you try another audience? We're not buying what youre selling. Obama seems to be quite adroit in "managing" to win every single race since Super Tuesday, and yet you can't seem to "manage" convincing a single soul here with that tired old chestnut about Obama being a clueless and naive waif.
you really need to do this for a living! (if you don't already)
Obama, are you reading this ... Hire Xrandadu!
I'm so glad Hillary had this final "moment" with Texans. I'm so tired of the media being "Obamaized".
Hillary 2008! Help reach Texans to urge support for Hillary.

If the Barack Obama campaign and/or the David Letterman Show would like to purchase my jokes, they can email me at xrandadu_hutman@yahoo.com. I will give them a good price!

Remember the Alamo......bama
...and there was no Texas-size kind of moment for Clinton in evidence there that I could perceive. It might of been Arkansas-size, but it sure wasn't Texas-size. And just as a general observation, Arkansas size just ain't sayin' much.
I was checking out a claim that some other words of Hillary's were similar to those of Bill (besides the reference to America being fine as more important than the candidates being fine, an echo of Edwards), and I came across this moving appeal in the New York Times, from back in 1992.
One night I saw Bill Clinton on the news say, "The hits that I took in this election are nothing compared to the hits the people of this state and this country have been taking for a long time." .... I could be cynical about the possibility of real change and the manifest dangers of expectations. I could talk about the enormous challenges to come. But not right now. This is Mr. Clinton's moment; he deserves it and I am glad he prevailed. You walk into the voting booth and each time you pull the little lever there is implicit in the gesture a tiny leap of faith. And this time some hope as well. For at least a moment, I'll make it last.
How true.
If this series of letters were to sway my choice at all, I would have to admit Obama looks quite a bit more attractive than Clinton, and all the Clinton folk can thank themselves for that. The proponents for Clinton have resorted to lame attempts at creating new buzzwords ("Obamaized"?) and unsubstantiated Hillary-coddling, most of whom don't have the confidence in their opinion to use their own fake name. Except for Maureen--calling the mass of supporters of a popular presidential candidate lunatics who are on drugs is always sad and pathetic. That's a better argument for those of us that voted for Nader in '00, when I actually was a drug-addled lunatic, or perhaps better put, an optimist. But little has changed, I suppose--just as I did then, I'm voting for the candidate who appears to sincerely care about the people s/he seeks to represent, is most likely to make decisions that benefit the (very large) demographic that I fall into, who's voice and use of language are not nauseating and cringe-inducing, and who's supporters appear to have cognitive thinking capacities. And it looks as if that candidate who has a very good chance at winning.
Obama sounded tired, and he also sounded like he was repeating what Clinton said because 1) their positions on most issues are evry similar and 2) Clinton was inexplicably asked almost every question first. At the beginning, I thought his having chosen to let her go first was only for the first question, not all of them. This made for a very strange debate format, as did the CNNers incompetence. Jon King will not stop pushing his own personal agenda that "the surge is working" when as Clinton ably explained, it's not, given what its main aim was. And Campbell Brown sounded sloppy, but for CNN, good looks are all that matter. Overall, Clinton was more passionate than I'd seen her before, and more relaxed, but she seemed smug at times, and sad at the end. The "xerox" line was cheesy in the extreme and she deserved the boos.
The debate was amazing. Hillary won BIG TIME in the debate. Hillary was composed, inspring, moving, eloquent, determined, and showed to the world watching how strong she would be as our next Commander in Chief. That's what America needs. Are we not proud?
Obama on the other hand was stuttering, confused sometimes. I hope the media and the Americans could see the contrast between the two.
The standing ovation for Hillary was great, her statement was moving. Her compliment to Obama is a sign of respect showing herself as a great leader. Complimenting your enemy is one way of winning.
