    •  I did everything I could to get him elected...

      "I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004. And not only that, far more important than a vote, I campaigned everywhere in America for him. I enjoyed it! I campaigned with him. I did everything I could to get him elected, and reelected President." - John Sidney McCain, III, Senior Senator from Arizona

      That's right Johnny-boy, snuggle-up real close for us.

        this thread and the first 13 states for Hillary?

        by llamaRCA on Fri May 09, 2008 at 07:04:03 PM PDT

        •  After Hillary won PA...

          I was gonna do a diary about Hillary's "13 Colony Strategy", and how she still had a chance to prevail there, as things were then tied at 6-6.

          But in light of the results in NC, I'm glad I didn't.

          ;-)

          •  President of all 50 States...

            I saw Hillary say she wants to be President of all 50 States.  However, she gets to pick the ones that REALLY count for the nomination.

            by EosBlue on Sat May 10, 2008 at 12:37:11 AM PDT

  •  So does each comment count as a delegate for her?

    If so, she stands a chance.

    •  Simple question, who the hell would come out

      in support of Hillary at this point? Seriously, what purpose could that serve in what is supposedly a motive of self-interest/self-preservation.

      Perhaps Sen. Powder to go with Ms. Toast?
      (no offense to Powdered Toast Man of Ren and Stimpy fame)

      Perhaps there are some SDs who have accompanied a mission to Mars these past couple of weeks.

      how it sucks to be the delegate who thought they were going to the convention and then the recount knocks them out.

  •  Hey Trix,

    I just wanted to tell you how really cool I think it is that you have stuck around through all the Clinton bashing (not that I haven't been known to make a disgruntled comment or two).  
     It's not easy when everyone is against your candidate and I give you major props for handling it all with humor.

      •  ?? I didn't say it was cold.

        I said I went out in public (thereby being exposed to someone else's germs.)  In fact it was about 70 degrees that day.

    It's minor, but I'm laid up for a day or two. I'll have to miss the Voter Registration Drive Kickoff, AND my vet is having a Benefit Dog Wash to raise money for guide dogs.

    And I'll be on the couch with my foot up.

              And didn't anyone tell you, this thread only counts 3/5 of a normal thread because it was posted on an odd date in an odd month in an odd hour?

              Only delegates from even numbered things fully count here. Shame on you.

•  Ron Reagan Jr. made me laugh

  He said Vito Fosella broke one of the cardinal rules of politics:

  If you're gonna keep a secret second family stashed away, don't get arrested for drunk driving.

  Mr. Reagan may be onto something there.  He sometimes does masterful understated commentary.

    He doesnt have a show on MSNBC anymore right? Is he a commentator on the cable networks? I enjoyed his speech at the 2004 DNC.

    by jj32 on Fri May 09, 2008 at 07:28:05 PM PDT

    •  He was on Dan Abrams show.

      Right after Oldbermann this evening.  Definitely more enjoyable than Joe Scarborough or Pat Buchanan.

•  Republicans vote against Moms

  Is this true?

  War Against Motherhood.

  Believe it or not, on Wednesday, 177 Republicans disagreed that "the House of Representatives celebrates the role of mothers in the United States and supports the goals and ideals of Mother’s Day" this following a 412-0 vote in favor (HR 1113). Flip-floppers! Why do they hate mothers so? Next they’ll vote against apple pie.

  Does anyone know how to read this data quickly?  I just don't check these that often.

      •  Ya, I got a problem...

        Oh, wait, I'm a mom.

        I just can't figure out why they have to spend their doing stuff like this or national cheeses or whatever.  They have enough to do already, don't they?  I'm having sympathy for our representatives.

        by llamaRCA on Fri May 09, 2008 at 07:51:18 PM PDT

        •  Don't get me started on national cheeses... n/t

          A lot of time these folks have to do things for their "constituents". Some rich kid's dad asks them to sponsor a bill honoring his son's little league tournament 2nd place finish in exchange for a contribution.

          Maybe they think things like "moms" and "cheese" will bring their ratings up a few points. They can't get much worse.

          by trmasonic on Fri May 09, 2008 at 07:59:26 PM PDT

        •  Do we have a national cheese?

          I'd think it'd be American cheese right?

          What a lousy cheese too.  perfect symbol for the state of gastronomical culture in this country.

          •  I think it's the stuff they put on your nachos at

            sporting events. Squirt, squirt, squirt. That stuff tastes so good, but just runs right through the G.I. tract. It would be a potent symbol for our country and I think there is diary potential with this topic.

            Perhaps it's just the wine.

  •  Seriously

    The whole world is going to rejoice when Barack Obama is inaugurated POTUS.  He is such a symbol of hope for everyone.

    •  OK!

      by awicklander on Fri May 09, 2008 at 07:05:38 PM PDT

  •  Um...um...um...

    Can you point to a single moment in our history where a presidential nominee used the results of a petition to select a VP?

    I'm just wonderin'...

  One half of a lousy Super Delegate?

  Anywhere?

  •  Ciro Rodriguez endorsed Clinton, so we're down

    1.5 now.

    (His major reason was his district choosing her, and that's perfectly fine).

    •  Gee, thanks.

      I feel SO MUCH better now.

      Pass the beer.

  •  Utah is choosing their add-on today

    Already designated to be for Obama.

    Tomorrow come MA & OH.  At best, they'll go 1-1.  At least that's what I think.

  •  Well, we could offer that

    asshole, Yberis, in California $10 million for half his vote -- or we could just tell him to shove it up his ass and look for someone in Guam to flip.

        after I get that deposit from my Nigerian connection.  Hope you have a great trip.

        by gchaucer2 on Fri May 09, 2008 at 07:06:45 PM PDT

        •  Hey, he's *MY* Nigerian connection!

          I got dibs!

          I sent him my social security number and bank account information way before you did!

          ~Doc~

          •  How odd

            I sent him your social security number and bank account info to him too.

            For course there isn't going to be much money in by the time he looks at it. :)

            by Phlogiston Junkie on Fri May 09, 2008 at 08:07:07 PM PDT

            •  That's OK...

              I bought my social security number off of the internets. Apparently, I'm a 67 year old retired woman who died three months before voting for Hillary in the Pennsylvania primary.

              It's all good.

    between OH/TX and PA, avoiding all news/political blogs and I felt much better.

  to link Obama to Hamas.
  It's their biggest thing right now.

    This is all they've got?  What's sad is that there are people who will go for this kind of inanity.

  •  yeah, it's kind of weird, it's a made up

    story

    It's just insane, these are fellow democrats, seriously, this is not cool.

    The GOP at least are able to command absolute loyalty, or close to it.  They are also douchbags though . . .
