Oh, boy...
Just remember, your vote for Obama could be cancelled out by that.
cant even watch it, get too angry.
you have educated smart people here in nyc, who get this stupid email or myspace bulletin filled with propaganda against Obama, and they actually just BELIEVE it. (ive had to send my own fact sheets to certain friends of mine)
You think that is bad , then check out what her profile says:
The clips posted here are in relationship to the United States and internal matters. If you are not a citizen of the United States I do not care what you have to say therefore do not attempt to contact me if your are a non U.S. citizen. If you are a citizen of the U.S. and are offended, I do not care.
Comments are not allowed on these clips due to the vast majority of those who disagree, do not know how to debate an issue. They also think that they can use anonymous screen names and not post a likeness (picture) of themselves and attack. They do not use their name and likeness because they are not willing to stand behind what they say. I do not allow anonymous attacks.
Can we ship her off somewhere please? I'm thinking Antarctica.... We'll send her some suntan lotion and a swimsuit. Maybe some matches.. not waterproof though.

I forget sometimes that not everyone in the world is as ...quick, shall we say?... as the people I regularly associate with. I wonder how these blatant lies could actually influence people in any significant way.
Then my mother-in-law hits me with a reality check every once in a while. Last night, she's over for dinner and my sister-in-law has the E! channel with a Brittney Spears 'breakdown special' on. A clip of Brittney with a brunette wig on plays, and she goes, "that's not her... Brittney's a blonde!"
Needless to say, everyone under 50 went silent and stared at each other in disbelief for a good 10 seconds.
Back to the horse race: Obama leads nationwide for the 1st time.
Today's new USA Today/Gallup(2/11) poll puts Barack Obama ahead of Hillary Clinton in the national Democratic race, 47% to Hillary's 44%. Although the result is well within the ±5% margin of error, this is nevertheless the first time he ever led.
As for the general election match-ups against John McCain: Obama 50% to McCain 46% McCain 49% to Clinton 48%

The great news keeps coming. Let's win the Potomac, and then start campaigning in the big states. I'm going to make another donation today because I feel like there needs to be plenty of campaign money coming in to take Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc.
I'm hoping that Wisconsin just might be the state that puts him ahead in the delegate count for the first time. We'll have politics to ourselves for a week - the only other contests are the Hawaii primary and Washington's non-binding one.
That Sandy Davis woman reminds me of a lot of the political attitude in my hometown. Ugh.
Obama is actually ahead in pledged delegates 999-923 (ABCNews) but all you here is the total including the promised Superdelegates. {CNN has Obama 986(1121) - Clinton 924(1148)}
Obama could actually go ahead tonight with a really good night.
I'm glad Wisconsin is not voting today. Your weather is brutal today.

As of today, we officially have the snowiest winter in recorded history. Last Wednesday, we had a top-5 all-time snowfall. The big story coming out of that was the insanely huge traffic jam on the interstate. Semis weren't able to get up a hill, some were jack-knifing, and traffic was backed up for about 20 miles. Governor Doyle's office (a douchebag, but at least a dooshbagh for Obama) didn't know about the situation for four hours, and the jam was ongoing for 6-7 hours before the National Guard got deployed. UW cancelled classes that day. Allow me to explain the significance: the previous two class cancellations were in Feb 2006, and before that - 1990.
I seriously think this is the worst winter I can remember having to deal with. Thank God it'll probably be my last for a while.
I just hope we have warm weather (read: near/at/above freezing point) for the primary. On the plus side, we've cracked the low double-digits for the first time in 4-5 days. That's encouraging.
Edit: Funny how only one of my two uses of "douchebag" got altered. I just had to say it a third time to see what wins best two outta three.
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
Obama is coming to the UW Kohl Center (home to Badger b-ball, hockey, and other functions) at 6pm tonight. It has a capacity of about 17K - in concert terms, it hosts acts big enough to headline - Petty, Aerosmith, Tool, and so forth. It is 11 degrees outside, but people are still talking about lining up four hours in advance. I think they're crazy. But I'm told he filled Seattle's arena with 3-4K people waiting outside. I'm just hoping I can get in, showing up 90-120 minutes ahead of time. Fortunately, if I don't get in the local Air America affiliate will be carrying it live.
It's funny to think how just a month ago, the venues I saw him filling were much smaller - Lebanon NH city hall, a school gym in Dubuque... I think it demonstrates the momentum he's built up. I like it.
McCain will be in Milwaukee for a Reagan Day dinner on Friday. That's the only event I've heard he's got here thus far. Huckabee's got nothing yet - though I hear in this state he's going to focus on campaign finance reform and stem cell research, in opposition to both. He did win Iowa next door, and Romney took neighboring Minnesota & Michigan. The only bordering state McCain's taken has been Illinois.
Apparently, Chelsea yesterday said that Hillary will be coming here sometime before the election. I wouldn't be surprised to get a visit from Slick Willy, either. The only thing I know for certain is that any Clinton appearances in this town are sure to be met with a healthy level of protestors.
