"So all the interviewees were Republicans and they get to set the expectations for the Democratic Convention?"
Yes, that's exactly how it works. Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh characterize it as an internecine cat-fight, and the mainstream media reports it that way. No problem. It's so standard now, that even Salon is on board.
Who do you want for VP?
I don't think I can stay up all night to get my message,and you can bet they won't send us a message until early morning.
At least the GOP can watch an exciting convention, since thier own expects to be boring. They want division among Democrats so much, just as much as they wanted Hillary to be the candidate so they could defeat her. The GOP loves Clinton Drama. I am sick of the Clinton drama.
By the way Hillay is NOT the keynote speaker on Tuesday. She's one of many a speakers. Hopefully they put her on when no one is watching.
Clinton didn't lose because she ran an awful campaign, was divisive, phony, and had enough negative baggage to stuff a commerical airliner. It was all because she was a woman and those that didn't support her (even female voters apparently) want to rollback the 19th Amendment.
What a crock.
I didn't vote for Hillary because I find her untrustworthy and didn't think that because she had the Clinton brand name it entitled her to a coronation as soon as she became a contender. I guess that makes me a misogynist because I don't place sex as a priority for those seeking the nomination.
I would like to see Clinton.
The problem is that he has made such a BIG BUILD-UP that almost anyone but Hillary will be a letdown in terms of media excitement.
However, if it is Clinton, then they are both GREAT ACTORS. Just to be silly, I know a Tarot reader who said that if it is NOT Clinton that Clinton is actually not going to be hurt at all by the primary. She thinks it's optomistic for Clinton and she also says that Barack Obama is holding a SECRET. Well, I guess that last is certainly true.
If it is Biden, I can accept it.
However, almost any other candidate mentioned, is a bit of a snore. I can just see it now. Everyone is eagerly waiting for their text messages and they get one that reads: It's Chet Edwards!
And everyone says: Who?
Mark Shields on the News Hour just indictated that 11% of voters (mostly women) who were Clinton supporters are willing to vote for down-ticket Dems but not Obama. These people are not Republicans.
No, Obama doesn't have to pick Hillary, but he'd better pick someone as exciting as Clinton. Who would that be?
Not Bayh.
Not Kaine.
Not Sebelius.
Not Edwards.
Not even Biden.
If he can draw Gore, then yes he will get big bounce.
Given the way Obama is playing this, I think it could be Clinton.
Soon, we will all know.
I know you don't want Clinton, but who do you want him to choose?
Spot on. It's all about sexism not about the infantilism of untrained stray cats that Hillary probably hasn't put up to the puuurfectly petty task of heaving up hairballs in the hilariously farcical spectacle since Tom & Jerry scurried around with giant hammers and anvils.
Believe me, when you're dealing with cry babies you have to use their own veggies in a blender vocabulary.
"Goo-goo-ga-ga-woo-woo-waah-waah!!"
Get the point?
The Republicans would obviously be delighted, but they don't really expect that to happen. Hillary and Bill would be very justified in laying into "The ONE" with all they have after the way he treated both of them during the primaries, and the total contempt he's continued to show to both of them. However, they are both better politicians than that. But if anyone thinks they are going to vote for "The Obama" in November, they've been taking whatever "The ONE" was taking in his younger days. What should happen at the convention is that the Super Delegates take a hard look at the train wreck "The one we have been waiting for" is about to inflict on us, and switch their votes to Hillary during the roll call. It's still not too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. And to think you thought Obama was a stiff and had no sense of humor! this countdown to the vp announcement is turning into great fun, watching them run the MSM who all dislike over every imaginable jump. It's a riot guaranteed to make anyone smile. I did not think he had it in him. :-)
2. It will be interesting on next Friday to see how many or how few of the many abusive and nasty anti Obama posters on the Hillary sites sort of suddenly just fade away, having done their bit for McC and failed. A darker kind of fun, but one which may clear the ground for Hillary supporters to recover since no one is throwing salt around anymore by the bushel for the hurt it causes.
Let's step back and gain a little perspective on our respective saints.
"Clintons and the Left
The Left as represented by Salon, TPM and many Obama supporters, but not Obama himself have a death wish. For most Americans Bill Clinton was the best president since Roosevelt and of course the only Democrat to get elected since Roosevelt. He did this by enacting policies that most Americans support but are anathema to the American Left.
Now Shapiro, like Rich and Dowd use Republican alleged comments to attach the Clintons. Obama who is at least as centrist as the Clintons and maybe more so alienates Clinton supporters he may find himself serving his third year in the Senate rather than selecting staff for the White House.
It would be nice of the Left and the Right would leave delusion behind and face reality fully and truthfully."
And that is an excellent observation which should not take a rocket scientist to decipher. But alas, not the writers here at Salon; Shapiro, Schaller et al. It is disgraceful. Somebody needs to tell these mediocre writers and their shoddy analysis that the world is not coming to an end. We know through their anti-Hillary rants that they have stampeded Obama from any consideration of Hillary as a V.P to a choice they prefer. Now, can Andrea Mitchell take her mouth off Biden's.... and concentrate on Mr. Greenspan?
I am not so sure what they want from the Clintons. If Obama has not given the Clintons a slot they will be all over him that he has slighted the Clintons and blah blah blah. He gives them a slot and the Clintons are taking over the world and how they will crush Obama's party. Give me a break. You have a Republican party candidate boldly attacking the patriotism of a Democratic party candidate who happens to be black and the media after giving McCain free play on this nonsense does not have the spine to take on Mccain but choose to attack the Clintons on what they will do on Tuesday and Wednesday to Obama? It is the same nonsense they pulled on another Democratic candidate, Kerry by giving free play over and over again to the so-called "swiftboat for the truth" without taking this crap on.
Let Obama have his convention and stop creating controversy where there is absolutely none. It is Obama and not Clinton who is the nominee, do not belittle him. It is the usual crap the media creates which signifies absolutely nothing.
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.
