Wow! Have they ever set themselves up for a devastating Moveon ad.

OPEN: A five second clip of this video in which McCain says, "Only a fool or a fraud talks tough or romantically about war."

CUT TO: McCain singing "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb. Bomb, Bomb Iran."

CUT TO: McCain casually saying, "Why not make it 100 years, 1,000 years, 10,000 years?!"

CLOSING CAPTION:

YOU DO THE MATH.

I strongly support Barak Obama, but I remember the lies that Moore and Nader told in 2000 and frankly Michael Moore can go perform on himself an act that anatomically speaking is quite difficult.

Brilliant Satire Greg!

OMG!! Hillary's raising almost $2.5 million!!! Call the firetrucks she is hot, hot, hot!!!!

Obama can raise that much by clearing his throat in public.

Seriously, I don't buy the notion that you guys are biased or in the bag for one camp or another, but don't posts like this make you feel just a little bit ridiculous?

Brilliant Satire!

Support Hillary because she passes the MRI test!

Very funny!! You actually had me going there for a little bit.

Thank you all for your comments. Just to clarify, in my opinion there is no path to the nomination that would leave Hillary in a position to win in November. Whether you agree with them or not, there are too many Obama supporters who feel that she has overtly used appeals to racial bias to advance her campaign. For a huge chunk of the party, the civil rights era stands as a shining moment in our party's history when it cast side political calculations and did the right thing. It's part of our civil religion if you will.

Many Democrats will not vote for a candidate who appeals to racial prejudice in November. Just as there are many Republicans who will not vote for a candidate who supports federal funding for abortion (cf. Rudy Giuliani). No matter how much they might agree with that candidate on economic issues, foreign policy, etc., there substantial portions of the voters of both parties who see these issues as moral issues and see it as morally wrong to vote for someone who is on the other side.

I may amplify this later into a full post.

Sadly, I fear that Geraldine Ferraro is well aware of the realities that Black people face. Her statements were not borne out of ignorance, but political calculation.

Amazing!

Finally Clinton's campaign is taking on the incredibly privileged position that Black Men Hold in this country!

Black men get to pay lower taxes than Whites like Geraldine just because they earn less money! Talk about unfair!!

And they get to go do jobs outdoor in the fresh air with healthy manual labor while white people have to sit inside in the air conditioning and stare at computer screens!!!

And the police? Don't get me started on the police! They're so buddy, buddy. All of the time I see the police pulling over Black men so they can chat. Why don't they ever pull me over?

Finally the Clinton campaign is speaking Truth to Power and forcing the country to confront all of the advantages that black children raised by single mothers have relative to white children raised in the suburbs.

No justice, no peace! Preach it Hillary!!

I think you've hit on a valuable insight. Hillary stumbles because she doesn't trust her own best instincts. I suspect that on some level she did in fact oppose the war. However, she choose not to make waves and go along with the crowd and now she's paying a heavy political price for a decision that at the time seemed like the politically smart thing to do.

So he gets points for just having oral sex, but not "Biblical" sex?

No spin is too ridiculous for the Clintons to trot out.
