		<description><![CDATA[Gosh, my feelings are hurt proud. How can I go on?

The only train about to leave is the one heading over the electoral college cliff in November thanks to you and the other character assassins in the Obamanation. Enjoy the ride, hello President McBush, unless HRC and the unpledged can stop it.

Wow, insulting Howling Latina, another democrat. Seems that makes you just another hypocrite with your earlier entreaties of not speaking ill towards another D. At least that explains why you are in the tank for BO. Birds of a feather.]]></description>

They&#039;re drama queens who blame Hillary for the sad state which the Democratic party is in, right now.  I really am glad I found this post.  I found myself very disillusioned with bloggers who I usually enjoy visiting.  The level of anger and vitriol was ridiculous, and way out of proportion to the situation, IMHO.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I would think that if anyone should have been offended by Hillary&#039;s remark it would be Robert Kennedy Jr.  Obviously, he is not offended.

This is just totally stupid, in my opinion, and I&#039;m embarrassed - yes, embarrassed - that supposedly intelligent and irrational beings saw Hillary&#039;s remark as an attempt to insinuate that Obama would be assassinated or anything of the sort.

Talk about IDIOTS!

I am no Hillary fan (I favor no candidate, but Obama&#039;s personal choices in who he hangs out with and who he looks up to as mentors and role models scares me).  In fact, I have intensely disliked the Clintons for a long time.  However, this whole thing is obviously a media ploy to do everything possible to make Hillary look bad compared to Obama.

What happened to the media darling back in the day?  Oh, she could do no wrong, she was the bright and shining star - oh, how thou has fallen, oh shining one...lol

Use your brains people - but that&#039;s becoming more and more difficult as we consume the junk food presented to us by the media.  Not only are we as a nation becoming fat and lazy physically, we are becoming inept at thinking for ourselves as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NNDEM,
Congratulations on your 1-0 victory over the Hokies.  June 3rd. The debate ends and the campaign begins. The blogs will change their makeup and will then concentrate on destroying McBush. NNDEM I expect complete loyalty when this all ends as I would give it to you if the situation were reversed. By the way your expense account will not allow for how many alcoholic drinks you will owe me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alice: Yes, I was in Virginia in 1985 and remember Wilder&#039;s run for Lt. Governor then and his run for Governor in 1989. Barack Obama is not Doug Wilder. Wilder has and continues to sell himself as something between a Democrat and a Republican. Depending on the weather, he can appear more Republican than John McCain. Does Obama have the same appeal in the Old Dominion?

		<description><![CDATA[Frum, were you in Virginia in 1985? When Wilder was supposed to lose and bring down not just the entire ticket, but Democratic control of the GA? Only it did not work out that way.

Obama is outraising McSame by something like 2:1. 

That has nothing to do with I or anyone else thinks of Obama, it just is so.

The best thing we can do is let this thing play out. Let the voters decide.]]></description>

I&#039;m going to attempt to put myself on a self imposed blog/media blackout until the end of this month. It&#039;s insane and meanwhile, great Democrats locally like Glenn Nye could use a hand!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NND:  
It will NOT be 2208.  Even Hillary&#039;s supporters on the Rules on May 31st have said that.  Every political analyst reminds people that it likely won&#039;t be 2026, but it definitely won&#039;t be 2208.  This is just another example of the Clinton team not joining us in what we like to call &quot;reality.&quot;  From what&#039;s i&#039;ve read, the best that Hillary Clinton can hope for is some kind of compromise that cuts Florida in half and either doesn&#039;t include Michigan, or awards all of those &quot;undeclareds&quot; to Obama before cutting it in half as well.  But Florida and Michigan will NOT get full votes.  The only question is whether or not Superdelegates will be allowed full votes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hillary needs to stay in the race right up to the point when one of them amasses the requisite 2208. News flash to Obama supporters, We &#039;aint quitting until then so get darn well use to it.

This is just one more example of the pretzel factory of the likes of the orange stain, RK, air obama radio and obamermann on MSNBO to take what was said and twists it into something it is not. We all know by know how Bill and Geraldine are ranting racists. I have used the exact statement in the past in the exact context regarding the front loading of the process and the rush to end it.

The Argus Leader’s Executive Editor Randell Beck issued the following statement today:

“The context of the question and answer with Sen. Clinton was whether her continued candidacy jeopardized party unity this close to the Democratic convention. Her reference to Mr. Kennedy’s assassination appeared to focus on the time line of his primary candidacy and not the assassination itself.” The actual interview follows;

		<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s only two options here Vivian, because people WERE offended.

1) It was a mistake, in which case she has shown that she is too accident prone to run for president.

2) It was intentional (suggested by her prior use of similar wording) in which case she is morally unfit to be president.

Bobby Kennedy, Jr. doesn&#039;t have any special power to hand out dispensation, nor was Bobby Kennedy the only public figure assassinated in 1968.  I know it hurts to recognize this, but this gaffe will effectively end her campaign, whether she acknowledges that fact or not.  The super delegates she has been counting on to rescue her will never support her now.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right, Gene.  But how much more damage can Clinton inflict in just two weeks?  She&#039;s accomplished quite a bit just in the last two weeks.  Whether she has &quot;every right to stay in this race&quot; and whether she SHOULD do so are two entirely separate questions.

Bobby, Jr. also has &quot;every right&quot; to purport to speak for his family, or for all Democrats.  Whether he actually does so, or whether he SHOULD do so, are also entirely separate questions.  Like I said, check him out, please, before you quote him on anything.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with you Vivian, she has every right to stay in the race, that however does not change the outcome. While I knew exactly what Hillary was saying, she did screw up by using that particular situation. she could have used many other ways to get her point across  such as Ted Kennedy&#039;s race, which lasted until june. Her reference to her husband Bill actually was a mistatement since he had wrapped up the nomination long before june and California. Anyway everybody needs to lay off Hillary, including the press and move on. the end is a couple weeks away, Barack will easily be the winner and then maybe we can get this ship righted once again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, we can&#039;t.  Not until she does.

Maybe a remedial math class would help.

As for Bobby, Jr., well, he&#039;s Bobby, Jr.  Go do some research on him.]]></description>
