Obama '08?

"Speeches don't put food on the table," said Mrs. Clinton, of New York. "Speeches don't fill up your tank, or fill your prescription, or do anything about that stack of bills that keeps you up at night."

I wonder if, during the next debate, that Obama will point out:

For Mrs. and Mr. Clinton, speeches do put food on the table!

Here's the NYT's story regarding the unofficial NY counts: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/16/nyregion/16vote.html?em&ex=1203397200&en=e372c818e048cf87&ei=5087%0A

I would question any results that shows xxx vs zero for any election. That just isn't realisitic, and must presume hanky-panky was involved.

But I'm thinking, if you were going to fix the result of some vote then you wouldn't fix it to be 100%-0% because that would be immediately suspect.

These are still unofficial numbers, we must remember. Anyone know when the numbers will be official?

A throwaway line in a Politico piece on this weekend's RNC "winter retreat" for major donors at Los Angeles' Beverly Wilshire Hotel:

Quote:

Plenty of lowbrow Hillary Rodham Clinton jokes were tossed around at the three-day event, but of highest concern was the notion of Obama seizing the Oval Office in a contest against presumptive GOP nominee John McCain.
I guess it just goes without saying that Republican officialdom and their fat cat backers toss off "lowbrow" jokes about Clinton, even in a public setting like an official party event.

It's just a scene-setter: The martinis were ice cold, the greens were lightning fast, the steaks were bloody rare, and, oh, by the way, Hillary is a __________.

What a knee-slapper. Fun times on the GOP side.

I would vehemently disagree with that. Taking action to achieve one's dreams means everything. All that I ever dreamed for and took positive action to achieve became reality.

Miller, I disagree. I was a kid who barely finished high school, but I had dreams of earning my college degree that took more than four years to earn. Once I had that piece of "sheepskin," my earning potential increased substantially. It was all based on a "dream." It took hard work, but I ended up working in management positions for most of my "professional" career. Yes, never give up your dreams.

The word on the street is that the Obama campaign and New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg have already met and devised an incredible plan if Clinton wins the nominee. Mayor Bloomberg would give nearly $1 billion to Obama's campaign after which Obama would bolt from the Democratic Party and run as an Independent candidate with king-maker Bloomberg as his running mate. The Obama campaign realizes that Obama is too new at this game and doesn't have the political weight of the Clintons to bring in the true heavy-hitters of the party's hierarchy. So, according to sources it was Bloomberg himself who suggested this cunning strategy. It's mind boggling that the Clintons are willing to destroy the entire Democratic Party, and potentially in the process lose the White House and seats in Congress, for their own selfish thirst for power and glory.
