Not sure I know of an individual who shares a Clinton/Paul, dual love affair. I was just asking him which one of them was stoking his fires. It was more of a baiting thing, semi-tongue in cheek really. Poop, while seemingly pretty mellow, if we're to believe his board persona, has freaked out with some semi-ridiculous anti-Obama statements in this thread. I'm just curious about his political alliances...
haha i am mellow some things just make me angry though and politics is one of them i have just as much animosity toward mccain and if i thought clinton had any chance of getting the ticket id be yelling at her too. none of theese people are going to give us what we want and it just makes me mad. sorry. i should prolly steer clear of the politics thread. peace my friends
Dialogue is good. The more views expressed, the better. Democracy is about a marketplace of ideas, after all... So please, reconsider avoiding this thread.
Superdelegates put Obama within mathematical reach WASHINGTON - Barack Obama's wave of superdelegate endorsements puts him within reach of the Democratic presidential nomination by the end of the primary season on June 3 — even if he loses half of the remaining six contests.
The Illinois senator has picked up 26 superdelegates in the past week. At that pace, he will reach the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination — 2,025 — in the next three weeks, when delegates from the remaining primaries are included.
The fat lady aint singing yet but she is warming up.
The fat lady is going to be delayed a little by the West Virginia results. That's going to be a double-digit win for Hillary. She's certainly going to keep making her case after that. Kentucky next week looks to be about the same situation for her.
A friend who lives in Morgantown WV says that Obama signs are sparse. Some have been vandalized. Some have been ripped up and left. Obama ground staff are having doors slammed in their faces, some have racist remarks yelled at them when walking down the street.
Does anyone have any sort've evidence of Clinton coming out against racism in this election?
My wife and I volunteered in the Obama office in Terre Haute, Indiana and on election day our office and 6 other in Indiana was evacuated because of bomb threats. One was vandalized and the American Flag stolen.
He's gotta do something about winning over that last 20%
Bob Barr, former Republican Representative from Georgia, declared himself a candidate for the Libertarian nomination yesterday. He's got some pretty strong conservative credentials, and could wind up being a spoiler from the right.
I know Mike Gravel joined the Libertarians, but I asked a couple of my Libertarian friends about the situation after Barr jumped in yesterday. They seem to think that Gravel won't get it, because Libertarians don't like Democrats in general, and Gravel switched parties since the election cycle began.
I really hate the the Libertarian Party went almost entirely Republican. In the 70's and early 80's they were much more concerned with civil liberties. Reagan brainwashed the LP into becoming primarily economic libertarians. The LP members around here is so busy holding onto their wallets they don't realize the rest of there lives our being destroyed.
Yeah... I had an interesting discussion about privatization of firefighting services during that interview I had - the one with a Republican state legislator I mentioned a while back. That guy is Republican mainly because a Libertarian can't get elected in the two-party system, so he converted.

I wasn't trying to push you out of the thread, man!
Now even the former SEC chairs, typically Wall Street Republican types, don't trust the GOP.
"Former SEC head William Donaldson, who was appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, joined Arthur Levitt, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, and David Ruder, who was appointed by former President Ronald Reagan, in backing Obama."
The whole set-up with the Edwards thing was just beautiful. It came the day after Obama's second-largest margin of defeat. Michigan was a great choice of location - swing state in the general, excluded state at the convention, and uncharted ground for Obama - not to mention that it's not a primary state, underscoring his presumptive nominee status. Not to mention the endorsement's coming from a party kingpin who shows strength exactly where Obama needs help. I didn't actually catch most of the speech yet - my Air America affiliate was simply awful in going to break at inopportune times. From what I did hear, though... our little John Edwards is starting puberty.
Howard Dean was on Leno last night. He made it seem like MI & FL will be seated in some way, shape or form at the convention but didn't get into specifics.
