Leave it to the U.S. to vote for style over substance — again.
Haven’t we had enough of that for the last 8 years?
I think your “Go Hillary” chants are about 2 weeks away from ending.
I got to agree with NGB. Though I don’t think Hillary is out, she’s definitely in big trouble. And more than Obama’s fault, this is the fault of a poor supporter. I know I can certainly come up with some legislative accomplishments. Obama was essential to getting the ethics reforms passed, for example.
Did I somehow miss the congratulatory post to the Obama supporters for the can of kick butt they opened up in Wisconsin and Hawaii?
Get out the jam . . . she’s toast. That guy was a poor spokesperson to have on there for Obama, no question. But ask any number of people what major legislation SHE has sponsored and see how many of them can answer. Not saying she hasn’t — just that most people can’t tell you.
More importantly, what the hell is she talking about when she blathers on about how she is the only one who has the “experience” and is prepared to be “Commander-in-Chief” on Day One? How is that? She has served one full term in the Senate, and the rest of her “35 years of experience” is based on being First Lady of Arkansas and the US. This makes her ready to be Commander-in-Chief?
If she means it when she says we need someone with the experience and knowledge, then she should sit down and let’s have a “Biden-Richardson” ticket, both of whom have more experience than she will ever think about having.
I like the lady and respect her, and I think she has the chance to be one of the “Lions of the Senate,” much like Ted Kennedy and Bob Dole. But she just can’t convince people she is a leader, because she isn’t. She can’t sell what she is saying — which changes every 3-4 days. The people running her campaign — especially Penn and that nauseating Wolfson — should be taken out back and shot. This team was supposed to be the creme de la creme, but turned out to be crap de la crap.
Obama Fever — Catch It!
Campaigns only have so much control over their surrogates. He wasn’t as prepared as Congresswoman Tubbs was. Does that mean Obama hasn’t accomplished anything? No way. I’ve worked on races that had surrogates choke up before, it’s nothing new. This just happened to be on Matthew’s show.
That’s right, like NGC I was also wondering if I missed the congratulatory post on VA, MD, DC, WI, HI, and any others. 🙂
This is a DEMOCRAT not a GOP and we need to cheer him on. We also need to be elated that we have had several top notch candidates (Richardson, Edwards, Dodd) in this race and we have some wonderful Democratic leaders.
As for HRC, she is an amazing, remarkable Senator who has provided a great service to this country and she needs to be thanked. If she doesnt win the nomination, she will make a hell of a majority leader. Maybe even secretary of Labor?
Meatloaf,
I’ve got to disagree. HRC does have a distinguished record of public service. She’s worked tireless with the Children’s Defense fund, served on several board and committees and was a successful attorney in her own right.
She’s worked across the aisle with fellow Senators on many Domestic bills as well.
Let’s name some of Hillary’s accomplishments: a) the flag burning amendment; b) vote for the execrable “bankruptcy reform” law; c) voted for the Patriot Act; d) voted FOR the Iraq war.
Not exactly a great legacy from my point of view. I keep hearing about her experience, but an awful lot of it was as an attorney (just like Obama), and a first lady (largely ceremonial and fraught with defeats on things like the health care bill).
I think she’s very smart and capable, but find no support for this fantasy that she has vast amounts of experience superior to Obama’s. He’s got far more legislative experience, albeit on a state level, and she’s made a lot of choices in her votes that make me cringe. Plus, she’s got that giant Billstone around her neck. That could sink anyone.
I can’t believe you guys. The surrogate couldn’t come up with a single thing that Obama had done. But instead of offering up what he has done, the only thing y’all can come up with is attacks on Hillary. Jeesh!
Except you proudvadem – and I appreciate that.
The video is funny, and if y’all would learn to loosen up a bit, you’d see that, too.
As for my congrats to Obama – well, when Hillary was winning, not a single pro-Obama blog offered anything close to congrats. In fact, the only thing that was said was like these negative comments here.
That was just painful to watch. I think I’d have to go into hiding, if I did that to someone I supported. The guy did post a message at his site that, well, its the best you can do in a situation like this.

And you Obama supporters are about the whiniest thin-skinned bunch I’ve seen in a while. Why don’t you make yourselves useful and focus some of that negative energy where it’ll be useful – on John McCain.
to be honest if i could not have big mac, i would take hillary but all the drity tricks go nowhere, and bill well is killing her who thought?
This Obama supporter is not even close to whining. I’m hoping he wins but will work hard if it HRC.
And- our focus for the Fall shouldl be:
A Democratic President
Mark Warner in the Senate
and…Thelma Drake out of the 2nd!
Then I can call it an early Christmas 🙂
Let’s not forget, ther ARE other races and we need to support our Congressional candidates too!
God, I miss Richardson.
Vivian – When was HRC winning? She has NEVER led in pledged delegates.
The primaries she won, NGB. That’s what I’m talking about, which is what NGC referred to.
