The early episode of Countdown did not mention the story, and now (I'm flipping back and forth between CSPAN and MSNBC) Dan Abrams is talking to girlpundits about the Clinton-Vanity Fair piece.  This is ridiculous.  We have the power to give the impeachment story legs. If you agree this is a cause worth blogging for, then please spread the word and rec this up. rss@dailykos.com (txjenny) Countdown Dennis Kucinich DennisKucinich George W.

Senator Clinton says that she did not intend any offense by it and I will take her at her word on that. </blockquote> It reminds me of her phrasing during the infamous 60 minutes interview where she says she takes Obama "at his word" that he's not a Muslim.  You know the Obama camp is, at this moment, sitting back in their desk chairs, watching the TV, unable to believe their eyes...they don't even have to campaign in the primary anymore, with her imploding in front of everybody... rss@dailykos.com (txjenny) Barack Obama BarackObama Democraticpresidentialprimary Gaffe Hillary Clinton HillaryClinton RobertKennedy _522175 Sat, 24 May 2008 20:46:17 +0000 This Guy Is Not Welcome In My Democratic Party https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/13/514694/-This-Guy-Is-Not-Welcome-In-My-Democratic-Party This Pennsylvania Mayor is a Democrat. <blockquote> In a letter to the editor published in a local paper, Tunkhannock Borough Mayor Norm Ball explained his support of Hillary Clinton this way: "Barack Hussein Obama and all of his talk will do nothing for our country. There is so much that people don't know about his upbringing in the Muslim world. His stepfather was a radical Muslim and the ranting of his minister against the white America, you can't convince me that some of that didn't rub off on him. "No, I want a president that will salute our flag, and put their hand on the Bible when they take the oath of office." </blockquote> To paraphrase <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/5/12/114237/630/544/513035">dawnt</a>, is <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/13/politics/washingtonpost/main4090746_page2.shtml">this</a> welcome in our Democratic Party?   rss@dailykos.com (txjenny) Barack Obama BarackObama Democrat Democratic Party DemocraticParty Hillary Clinton HillaryClinton Pennsylvania President Racism _514694 Tue, 13 May 2008 14:13:52 +0000 Another reason to move on: Myanmar https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/7/511142/-Another-reason-to-move-on-Myanmar It's time for Team Clinton to fold their tent and Bill to get back on the road with George H.W.

[Updated] https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/5/509362/-Obama-still-needs-10-000-donors-you-know-what-to-do-Updated The donor ticker at <a href="https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/standard?source=feature_1.5m">Obama's website</a> is hovering at 1,490,467.  The campaign is stumping for 1,500,000 donors by May 6.   While each election this season has felt like the endgame, we know that this one really could change the game altogether--and knock Hillary Clinton out.

I'm not sure if this helps or hurts our chances tomorrow--in actuality, it will likely have little effect.  But I guess Rendell's statements might work to make insecure voters feel unsure or, more likely, older pro-Hillary people to indulge in smug attitudes toward Obama's base, a problem we're already going to have to remedy going into the general election.  Thanks Ed, you schmuck. I'm going to see if I can get the RedLasso link embedded here.  Also, I've posted my email response to Rendell after the jump. rss@dailykos.com (txjenny) 2008 Barack Obama BarackObama EdRendell Kool-aid YouthVote _500445 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:44:12 +0000
