Trae Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Moments ago, Senator Clinton officially announced her support for Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton made history over the past 16 months -- not just because she has broken barriers, but because she has inspired millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to causes like universal health care that make a difference in the lives of all Americans.

BryanS Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 ...It appears that the "short list" of Obama's VP choices is about 16 long... ...I have a feeling, this may be his VP Choice: 1.) Military experience. 2.) Clinton ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Still more good news for the Obama camp; wonder how the disgruntled Clinton supporters who now claim they'll vote for McCain will take to this quote?Edited for language.Cliff Schecter, a political blogger and erstwhile McCain admirer, relates in his book The Real McCain an incident from 1992 that he sourced from three journalists from the senator's home state of Arizona. McCain's wife Cindy was playfully twiddling with his hair one day. "You're getting a little thin up there," she said.McCain grew red in the face and replied: "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you ****."

CDeb Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Still more good news for the Obama camp; wonder how the disgruntled Clinton supporters who now claim they'll vote for McCain will take to this quote?If they have a brain, they should take it like this (from another blog):Because, you know, Arizona reporters would never report that at the time. A sitting senator up for reelection using that kind of language to his wife's face, in front of reporters, just wouldn't be newsworthy. Those reporters would hold onto that story, and keep it secret, as McCain became a prominent national figure in the 1990s, throughout the 2000 race, throughout McCain's campaign of the last year and a half, just so they could reveal it now to "Netroots author Cliff Schecter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of know that John Kerry was ahead leading up to the election, but he was NEVER this far ahead.Things actually looked similar back in 2004 - if you go back to their archives, you'll see that the numbers were all over the place, but at one point Kerry had a 332 - 195 "lead". There's still a lot of time until November, and there are a lot of close states.Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hilary has $22 million in campaign debt. How wasteful and messed up is that? The fact that they spend so much in the first place makes me mad, but to be dumb enough to spend that much more than they have? Idiots. And now more money will be donated to cover the debt, and the media will treat those donations like they are kind charity, when $22 million to any real charity could actually make a huge difference in this world. Makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
