I seriously would like to know how taking 4 delegates from ones side and adding 55 unearned delegates to them, and packaging them like a nice early christmas present--How Does This Bring Party Unity?!?!

This committee couldn't see the forest for its trees of rules.

If they had given Hillary the Michigan votes even at 1/2 and not given any of the uncomitteds, he still would have been able to "claim" his victory sooner than later.

But now....

A legitimate reason for her supporters to push to Denver....

Obama supporters I think you lost this one even while winning.

For the second time in a week, Clinton polls 9% better than Obama

She really did say it a number of times.

I learned it from here.

So lets again talk about sexism  and racism.

Celebrating Women: A Note from Dr. Maya Angelou

by Dr. Maya Angelou

This entry is part of a series in celebration of Women's History Month.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at her wits end, but she has always risen, always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and the delight of her friends.

Hillary Clinton will not give up on you and all she asks of you is that you do not give up on her.

There is a world of difference between being a woman and being an old female. If you’re born a girl, grow up, and live long enough, you can become an old female. But, to become a woman is a serious matter. A woman takes responsibility for the time she takes up and the space she occupies.

Hillary Clinton is a woman. She has been there and done that and has still risen. She is in this race for the long haul. She intends to make a difference in our country.

She is the prayer of every woman and man who long for fair play, healthy families, good schools, and a balanced economy.

She declares she wants to see more smiles in the families, more courtesies between men and women, more honesty in the marketplace. Hillary Clinton intends to help our country to what it can become.

She means to rise.

She means to help our country rise. Don’t give up on her, ever.

In fact, if you help her to rise, you will rise with her and help her make this country a wonderful, wonderful place where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety, without crippling fear.

Rise Hillary.

Rise.

Being new to this blogging thing, but not new to caring about where our country is moving, I found TPM to be an awesome site to follow blow by blow political action and news.

And only recently did I try my hand and fingers at blogging-ever..

So thanks Josh and Mr Sargent for the chance to experience this.

My goal in my illustrious (what two weeks?) career as a blogger was simple:  Prevent a political tragedy masquerading as a political renaissance, from overwhelming the hopes and efforts of so many of my like minded political friends.

 

But since blogging is more than just throwing words around at the local bucks, I don’t have the time to make this a higher priority than it needs be.

 

Besides, there are so many others who can say and support my points better than myself.

 

In my lack of experience in the blogosphere, I suspect suggesting this final site might be a Hatfield McCoy thing, but it doesn’t matter, I don’t think most Obama supporters on this TPM site/blog have the guts or intellectual honesty to really listen to the honest criticism of their appointed king.   

 Including Josh.

But if you do, check this out: http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/3/24/213029/144

 

And all the best- see you on the other side of November.

Just finished reading some interesting first hand comments:

 

"If Barack gets past the primary," said the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to the New York Times in April of last year, "he might have to publicly distance himself from me. I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen."

 

 

“It's been more than a month since I began warning Sen. Barack Obama that he would become answerable for his revolting choice of a family priest. But never mind that; the astonishing thing is that it's at least 11 months since he himself has known precisely the same thing.”

 

“Pause just for a moment, if only to admire the sheer calculating self-confidence of this. Sen. Obama has long known perfectly well, in other words, that he'd one day have to put some daylight between himself and a bigmouth Farrakhan fan.”

Now I realize that in the blogging world, quoting large tracts of an author’s words is not technically blogging. But there is no need to reinvent the wheel, either.

 

However, it is amazing how this lack of a full and honest appraisal of this candidate continues and is leading the democratic populace to a dangerous point of no return.

 

He has been a politician for his entire career even when he calculated that he needed to develop some religious or spiritual “street cred” –Audacity of Hope (as quoted in above cite)

 

I heartily concur that:

“This disappointment is only the first of many that are still to come.” (as cited above)

Josh

I have enjoyed your blog for a very long time, but I realized recently that the democrat crowd has already split between the far far left and the rest of us. When I could no longer find a safe and fair environment to share my hopes and views in your site, I dramatically cut down by online time with it. 

 

So many liberal sites have ran off into the nethers believing their own posts so much that, well, they forget to look back and see which brothers and sisters they have left behind.

 

Stop disenfranchising the Clinton supporters. You do so at your own peril. Perhaps that is why you received so few responses.

 

We are the ones who suffered on the left all during the Clinton and Bush years and toughing it through, did not need an inspirational speaker, a pied piper to see us through, but a smart reliable and fully understood candidate.

 

May the best man or woman win, but as we all know that does not always happen.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I think the Rev Wright is speaking, or not.


WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE???????

??????

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I think the Rev Wright is speaking, or not.

WHO ARE YA KIDDIN’ OBAMA!!!? Trustworthy, Naïve, Poor Instincts – All the qualities of a good Chief Executive?!

All of these are quotes from the Chicago Tribune Story:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-obama-rezkomar15,0,2968927.story

His first big contributor

Asked if he ever thought Rezko would expect something from their relationship, Obama was emphatic: "No.

Obama said voters should view his Rezko dealings as "a mistake in not seeing the potential conflicts of interest." But he added that voters should also "see somebody who is not engaged in any wrongdoing . . . and who they can trust."

Obama said he asked his friend about them. Rezko assured him there was nothing wrong. "My instinct was to believe him," he said.

My Comments:

Either he is sincerely naïve and inexperienced and therefore not qualified to be a good chief executive OR he is just another politician caught trying to triangulate his way out of a mess. Get real. All those years and all that money and he never wanted any thing from you? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase!

    Josh did you happen to catch Whoopi Goldberg today on the view (thursday) She knows Ferraro personally and doesn't think her comment was racist nor is Ferraro racist.

I am glad to see someone speaking some common sense hear- and before you call me mr white racist-
I am white and in a bi racial marriage for over 15 years and have a bi racial son. And I have a graduate degree and we are mid to upper middle class. Shouldn't I be Obama's demographic?

By the way, my wife agrees with this.

I like Obama enough, but he is just not the best qualified for the job of the two of them.
