Are some of Hillary's supporters stupid enough to vote for an anti-choice, creationist candidate just because she has a vagina? You bet! The stupidity of voters is indisputable, especially those who are fixated on a single "issue", like the overriding importance of having ANY woman achieve high office.

OTOH, she'll lose McCain votes among the knuckle draggers who think a woman's place is near the stove. Think Nevada Mormons.

Read Kerry's rhetoric. Read Hillary's.

"Where would Obama be now if Kerry hadn't personally picked him to give the 2004 keynote?"

He'd be the Democratic nominee for president.

Yeah, the losers like Gore and Kerry always get gutsy AFTER they have nothing left to lose. It's called choking. Put Kerry on the ticket and he'll cost him two or three states at least (VA, CO, PA, and OH are all likely to be lost with Kerry on there), and win none. It's a ridicuous, silly idea.

Gore won? Hooray! Then the last 8 years didn't really happen and I've just come out of a nightmare-plagued coma.

Ask yourself this: Who is president? Now you know who won.

Oh, please. Kerry is probably the only pick worse than Hillary. Kerry doesn't carry a single state for Obama, and could lose several, like Ohio and PA and VA. There couldn't be a worse choice.

Sorry, but this post is a waste of time and energy. This election already seems lost for Obama. His campaign lacks focus and bite. The Republicans have never been more unpopular, yet their candidate gaining ground after one of the worst months in memory, is within the margin of error in most polls and has gained significant support in the betting markets.

Instead of campaigning against Republicanism and neocons, Obama has been defensive and nitpicky, and has let McCain's "more drilling and more nukes" energy policy go unanswered. He has let the Republicans dominate the conversation in the media, and is letting them portray him as an overly racially-sensitive, humorless, arrogant newcomer.

It's looking very bleak right now for Obama.

Yah, Radha!
I was so pissed at Kos's supercilious pronouncement withdrawing his imminent donation to Obama. There's only one question facing anybody this year: Who do you want to be president: McCain or Obama? Because it's gonna be one of them.

All equivocation is bullshit.

There are a few problems with this post, most of which I agree with. First of all, the association of Alcoholics Anonymous with hypercritical leftists is baffling, weird, and, finally, simply incorrect (despite the manipulated statistics of a hare-brained professor).

Second, and more to the point, the inhumanity among these professional malcontents is NOT unintended, any more than the carnage in Iraq was unintended by Bush and Cheney. You can see their supercilious, sanctimonious nihilism in every statement, the desire to bring down the candidate of the moderate party because he lacks perfection and is not one of them. The Naderites REVELED in their defeat of Gore and the destruction rained down by Bush. Like Bush and Cheney, they LOVE war, destruction, and the suffering of the masses who, after all, must be punished because they are too blind to promote THEM into power and pay homage to THEIR theories, schemes, and dogmas.

These people, the Naderites and their 2008 equivalent, are sick, sadistic sociopaths, not clueless idealists.

You're a perfect example of what McFadden is talking about!
"I am willing to give Obama some more leeway, but not much." That's big of you!

"Where he's right matters less to me than where he's wrong - he is wrong, so wrong on many issues that are of critical importance to me, most of them clustered in his troubling indifference to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, but also around his statements on choice and health care. That McCain is worse is small comfort."

This is so stupid, arrogant, and ignorant as to beggar belief. This guy is a brillaint Constitutional lawyer who's worked his entire life to help average citizens assert and maintain their rights. If you're looking for tiny discrepancies between Obama's positions and yours to expand into vast chasms, I suppose you can find them. But the idea that McCain is just a little worse than the Democratic nominee is absurd. I bet you though Bush was just a little worse than Gore didn't you? Sure you did! So did your moron heroes, like Chomsky and Nader. Congratulations! I hope you think of this election when your daughter's having an abortion in a Tijuana hotel room. I'm sure she'll be pleased that you traded her right to choose for...what, exactly? You fill in the blank.
