But if Iran thinks it has any sort of chance in blocking the US Navy from doing a god damn thing… There are all types of battle fleets in there. I was on an LHD and we were there for 3 months. I think you’re failing to see just how little confidence Obama is inspiring [...]

Times reporter Marcus Mabry writes, whether Mr. Obama captures the White House in November will depend on how he is seen by white Americans. Indeed, some people argue that one of the reasons Mr. Obama was able to defeat Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was that a large number of white voters saw him as postracial. [...]

Note that I’m quite happy for people to criticize Obama for failing to be whatever they want him to be, I’m just rather tired of the “I know you think/thought X but you are/were wrong!!!” It’ll be no shock to most of us if Obama is less than all we want him to be in [...]

Lemme start out by saying I’m a white working class American who has already voted for Obama and can’t wait for November! There was a diary from MarkInKC yesterday referring to this newly release “toy.” I was moved to send these people a nice enough WTF email, and one of the lucky 22 to receive [...]

Let us unite in common effort to
chart a new course for America. It’s not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush
ninety-five percent of the time, as he did in the Senate last year. So I’ll say this - there are many words to describe John McCain’s
attempt to pass off his embrace of [...]

Want to learn more? Well, I just sent the video link over to Keith Olbermann (as in Countdown with), since it is about Fox News, it has a good chance of making it to his talking points tonight. Fox is trying to drum up a new pastor problem for Obama, but even conservative Dan Abrams [...]

That is particularly true for the candidate who has traveled further on this journey than anyone else. When we transform our energy policy and lift our children out of poverty, it will be because she worked to help make it happen. Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am [...]

State Departments Office of Counter Terrorism, learned over the weekend that the rumored Michelle Obama Whitey tape is no rumor. Barack Obama, up to this point, has tried to pretend he had no idea that these men had these thoughts or said these things. For a politician that started out as the Great White (Liberal) [...]

For those of you who are not getting Barack Obama emails from his campaign. Paul and announce that we have won the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. It’s been a long journey, and we should all pause to thank Hillary Clinton, who made history in this campaign. Our party and our country [...]

Also the County Commissioner race is tight. I’m beginning to think that the US Senate candidates should debate in every county in the state…. Counties reporting some votes incl. Okay, Obama’s claimed the nomination and reached out to Senator Clinton. Yellowstone county has reported its absentee ballots. Obama’s taking the stage — wait! Hillary Clinton [...]

Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. Its not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush ninety-five percent of the time, as he did in the Senate last year. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas [...]

Im not saying thats Hillarys position on Obama. Since Bill Clinton campaigned for John Kerry in 2004, Im taking his words to mean that he considers campaigning for himself or Hillary as one category and all other campaigning is in a different category.

I like this guy more and more every day. Barack Obama has chosen the site of the GOP national convention in St. Paul to celebrate the likely end of the Democratic presidential primary contest on Tuesday night. The Illinois senator is scheduled to address a huge rally at the Xcel Energy Center, his campaign announced [...]

Obama is going to pick his own running mate based on his own criteria and vetting process. Al also backs up what TIME Magazine is reporting, that being that it is Bill Clinton who is pushing Hillary for the VP spot, not Hillary herself. With Obama not bringing them on the ticket, we should see [...]

Obama spent “two years in a Muslim school, then two more in a Catholic school” in Jakarta. Obama’s spinmeisters are now attempting to make it appear that Obama’s introduction to Islam came from his father and that influence was temporary at best. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. [...]

Diane Denish said it is looking increasingly more likely that Clinton will not receive the Democratic nomination and that perhaps she should be placed in the vice presidential slot on the ticket. Denish told the Albuquerque Journal that Clinton supporters “were hoping for more.” While Clinton has not conceded — and even won a primary [...]

Heres another sample of how our self-indulgent voters and self-serving government aristocrats create americas problems.obama, who hasnt been to iraq in well upwards 2 years and has under no circumstances met with gen. Petraeus, claims mccain, who has been to iraq several times in the last 2 years and has met with gen. Track listing, [...]

The Foreign Policies of both countries and how they behave in the International Community. Interesting poll from ARG, in this poll Obama is only ahead by 5%. As we have seen in other polls and exit polls Obama does better in them than the actual result. What if Clinton wins while Obama is in Iowa, [...]

And I want to remind you that you will make all the difference in the epic challenge ahead. I think you could learn a lesson or two from Obama. He doesn’t mess with the foolishness of racists or assume that working class people are racist as you do,”The white, working class (read, bigoted)voters”. He keeps [...]

Will it be Clinton or Obama in Kentucky and Oregonprimaries? Who will the Kentucky and Oregon Democratic primaries Clinton or Obama? Look no further than the percentage of African-American population and voters. The empirics of 2008 Democratic party presidential contests are thus. In those 18 states where the African-American population ranges from 4%-16%, Obama [...]

That said, does anyone else think that Obama accidentally calling this reporter “sweetie” might be the best thing to happen to her career? Personally, Obama can call me sweetie anytime he wants to, even though I’m a happily married heterosexual beer drinking white man. A vote for obama would be a vote for a Jimmy [...]

But Clinton’s been around a lot longer - and she’s a woman. Obama in the fall.” Keenan also said Obama “can unify Americans on both sides of this issue behind commonsense, common-ground ways to prevent unintended pregnancy.” Asked by a reporter on the call for his response, Clinton’s communications director Howard Wolfson said, “‘Surprised’ would [...]

And Democrat Scott Kleeb, a 32-year-old rancher, is running an Obama-like campaign for change. Like Obama, Kleebs campaign has been fueled by small online donations and has grassroots appeal that has energized the Democratic Party. After getting his PhD in history at Yale, Scott Kleeb moved back to Nebraska in 2006 and ran for [...]

Here’s Obama’s statement on Israel’s 60th Independence Day… This week marks the 60th anniversary of the fulfillment of a dream — the independence of the State of Israel.

After a staff shake-up earlier this year, Freedom’s Watch has become far more active in day-to-day politics, sending reporters several e-mails a day that attack Democratic leaders.

Couple that with his intelligence and humanity - weve got a formidable candidate … A tie would be nice and than on to the smoke filled rooms.

And tonight, it?s the godfather of funk, the great George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, in the house at The Orange Peel, 101 Biltmore Ave. The [Clinton] advisers said they were dispirited over the loss in North Carolina, after her campaign ? Even with her investment, Mr. Obama outspent Mrs. Chenier was seen on a Reserve [...]

See the picture above, which ran atop Drudge Report tonight. The link went to the Tim Russert video after the jump, in which our NBC News papa calmly explains why Hillary Clinton is about to finally quit. See the picture and headline at left, which ran atop Drudge Report tonight. Drudge’s link went to a [...]

I maintain that it was the Rick Mirer endorsement that sunk Mitt Romney. Heath Ledger is also a staunch supporter of Hillary. Shuler was attempting to throw his support behind Obama, but was intercepted. No word yet on Heathcliff Slocumb’s endorsement. Ryan Leaf has chosen to endorse Fred Smith for Safeway Store #2451 Employee of [...]

The site used to be called Clinton-Obama 08, so maybe the web hosts are questioning whether Clinton can make a comeback and overtake Obama and are trying to keep her on the ticket. In any event, the campaign re-filed with the FEC last week under the new name, according to the sites news release. About [...]

Tonight, with Obama winning N. Obama can win in November with the right VP (not Hillary) and the Democrats running the tables balls out for him. We will all have to join intecessory prayer teams to keep Obama alive though (my opinion)- either way, I will never vote for Hillary for anything, including school board. [...]

Star Gary Dourdan faces drug Ipecac neat lyrics. Dumping Wright A day ago, we asked if yesterday would be the day Jeremiah Wright would go away, at least in the context of the Obama Clinton primary race.

Barack Obama scored a resounding win in North Carolina Tuesday, securing a must-win victory as his campaign continues to try to fend off a never-say-die challenge from Hillary Rodham Clinton. Obama posted his expected but still welcome North Carolina triumph as the race in Indiana remained too close to call, though Clinton clung to an [...]

Obama’s double-digit victory in the Tar Heel State gave him bragging rights on a night when he and Clinton battled late into the night to claim Indiana’s Democratic primary. “Tonight we stand less than two hundred delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination for President of the United States,” Obama said in a victory speech [...]

Obama winning 10 in a row is a bit different than losing West Virginia. Really, if Clinton destroys Obama in WV and Kentucky, the Supers are probably going to be smart enough to realize that it’s not a real indication of Obama’s strength. When blacks vote for Obama they are not racists, but when whites [...]

Ticket balancing is needed but short of the unsuccessful Kerry-Edwards ticket in 2004, the last time a runner-up was offered the slot and it successfully worked was 1960 with John Kennedy-Lyndon Johnson. Having the former Supreme Allied Commander (a post Dwight Eisenhower once held) as a running-mate is major bragging rights. Like Obama, Clark is [...]

Also, it’s nearly certain to be eleventy hundred percent Obama. Of course, I don’t know if that’s enough to tilt the vote his way, but if Clinton wins it sure won’t be a “mandate”. The worst thing is, we’ll never know how those dozen 90 year old disenfranchised nuns would have voted!

“We really do feel today is going to be a heavy voting day, and our inspectors are ready,” said White, the clerk in Indiana’s most populous county. Like marathoners on their second wind, Obama and Clinton had raced for advantage until the final hours of the campaign for the primaries in the two states. Both [...]

Both Pop Mannion and Uncle Bill are politicians. Among the last of the New Deal kids. Uncle Bill had been in Florida all winter, so this was the first chance they’d had to talk about the campaign since it heated up.

This time Princeton University computer scientist Ed Felten has uncovered a phantom vote for Obama in summary tapes from three voting machines used in the state’s February 5th primary in Pennsauken District 6.
