What exactly are these new revelations and when were they revealed and by whom? I didn't read about anything that I didn't already know in that article. Lastly, what do they mean?
Another Clinton surrogate has gone on the attack against Obama.
But instead of just attacking Obama, he has attacked much of the dem party.
Maybe I'm wrong, but attacking your own party doesnt seem like a good way to get them to vote for you....

Quote:"The Barack show is playing to rave reviews sold out at college campus after college campus. Standing room only crowds to hear his silver-tounged orations. Hope, change, yes we can? Give me a break! I've got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak. This guy won't last a round against the Republican attack machine. He's a poet, not a fighter!"
The emphasis is mine.
Read the whole piece, its rather interesting.
Yeah, nappyhead posted that earlier. I was thinking the same thing as you, mm. So much for trying to unite the party.
The Clinton machine must be mighty desperate right now. Nothing is working. Everything they try backfires. She is shooting blanks. And perhaps they didn't get FBI files on Obama because Obama was not yet in the limelight yet when they were doing that? It is crunch time for sure, so I am curious what they will pull out of their bag of tricks. Surely they have an ace to play yet? I noticed one network maybe tried helping Hillary by showing Osama's picture with a story on Obama.

I don't think it matters much. If Hillary did somehow pull it out, the liberals (especially the ones here) will do exactly as Markos tells them.
Uh Oh, Obama has a new "problem".
The feminists are saying that he has an unfair advantage over Hillary and that
Quote:If he were female, with his credentials, age, and track record, I don't think he'd be anywhere near the presidency of the United States," Burk said.
The feminist groups are saying that its not fair because
Quote:A female candidate with a hyper-substantive career is now threatened with losing the nomination to a man whose charismatic style and powerful rhetoric are trumping her decades of experience.
The whole article is here...

Ans is IMHO a pathetic attempt to say that its not Hillary's fault that Obama seems to be trouncing her in the primaries.
Personally, I found the article to be funny and sad at the same time.

Sorry, I hadnt seen his post.

This article provides a lot of the details that are omitted in the ABC article even though the ABC article was written two days later.

For anyone inclined to do a little reading, here is what looks to be a thorough descriptive listing of the types of legislature authored or co-sponsored by both Hillary and Barack and some of their successes.

And here's one from 2006:

Joker Obama... if President he plans on "rebuilding our cities".
Lord, what a sh!t joke. Why didn't he, as Illinois State Senator rebuild the mile after mile of the inner City slums of Chicago, which 50 years ago were solid middle, and uppermiddle class neighborhoods inhabited by hard working, productive, individuals instead of the thousands of unwed teen mothers and generational welfare recipients who inhabit that area today?
Yeah, and he hasn't cured cancer yet either! Or AIDS!

Yeah, because nothing says "latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies" like having the endorsement and boots on the ground of the Teamsters union.
Desperation..

There's a waste of a perfectly good keyboard.
You beat me to it.
I just saw that story and was going to post it.
I think Hillary has had it as the dem candidate.
I dont think there is any way now that she can win the nomination.
I know that she has an outside chance, but she would have to win something like 65% of the remaining dem votes.
I dont think thats possible.
MM
I think so too.
Here's Karl Rove this morning in the WSJ. The theme is...Barack is a creature of the far left. But of course, that's always true of any dem candidate. It's a rightwing election-slogan given.

And the ugly machine gets cranking....
Quote:in one of the most repulsive screeds in memory, courtesy of National Review's Lisa Schiffren
here, former Dan Quayle aide, the fact that Obama's parents are a mixed-race couple strongly suggests they were probably Communists, because who else, besides Communists, would marry outside of their own race? She cited an equally repellent article by AIM's Cliff Kinkaid
here, entitled Obama's Communist Mentor, which "reveals" that "through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA."

I too painfully agree that Obama will probably get the nomination. It is really a reflection on americas obsession with the candidate as rock star and a mistake. That's my opinion and it would take something REALLY huge to get me to change it.
I won't and don't hate the guy and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt once he's in but I won't vote for him and I'm totally pessimistic about him.
He'll be a better president than bush, but that's the meaningless award of the century.
