Heh :wink:

And Maporsche, since I saw you say elsewhere that you'd vote for McCain over Obama, Nader sounds like a good alternative Cool


Yeah, that was before I heard about Nader.

I need to wait until he updates where he stands on issues, but if it's similar to his positions in 2000 and 2004, he'll be my choice.

Please keep us updated; I'm curious and interested. You may want to start a new thread on Nader.

Hillary Clinton Mocks Barack Obama During Campaign Rally
Huffington Post | February 24, 2008 03:31 PM

Hillary Clinton's campaign is on its last legs after suffering a string of defeats to her rival Barack Obama. Clinton made the decision to go negative in an effort to halt Obama's rising momentum. Today, Clinton was at a campaign rally in Providence, Rhode Island, and she mocked Obama and his message of hope and change in a very theatrical, over-the-top manner.

Watch the video from CNN below, and tell HuffPost whether you think Clinton's line of attack against Obama will help or hurt her campaign: link

By the way as I read more I see some icky ones so in case icky ones have taken over by the time someone else reads the comments, this is the sort of comment I had in mind when I said "interesting":

Quote:
Up until now I've had nothing against Sen.Clinton but she should have fired her campaign staff,months ago. She and her husband are proving to be low and dirty in her last bid to make friends and influence people. It is a real turn off and I hope that more people will sit up,take notice and decide for America's future.
I was very put off by her comment about her experience regarding Bill's affairs,as if this has anything to do with running your country.The excuses are getting to be very lame.Desperation it seems!

With where Clinton's campaign is right now, if it hurts her campaign would it really matter?

I've been using that word, "desperation," to describe Hillary for awhile now.

"Up until now" is what I found interesting. The person could have been lying, of course, but I've read so much about how most Democrats like both candidates, that they really don't know who they'll vote for until they get in the booth, etc. Things had already started to shift -- more people thought that Hillary was being unfair to Obama than vice versa in exit polls from WI I think it was, for example. But I really don't think this helps her with anyone but the extreme partisans.

And again, I'm really not writing her off yet, so that's why I think it's noteworthy.

Unless Obama phucks up somewhere, Clinton is over. There is too much momentum right now in Obama's favor and the sheep will follow the leader without ever knowing that they're being led off of a cliff.

She's toast.

FWIW,
I have made my choice when the primary vote happens here.

Since the candidate I wanted didnt run (Evan Bayh-D. IN) I will support Obama in the KY primary.
That does NOT mean I will support him in the general election, but given the choice between Obama and Hillary, I prefer Obama.

That is the position I think alot of uncommited voters are in.
Its not that I prefer Obama over McCain, it is that I prefer Obama over Hillary.

Much of what Obama says be believes are almost the same things that Bayh believes.

Of course, my support for Bayh came from more then just his beliefs, it also came from having actually met the man and actually talking to him.
Bayh is the kind of man that will look you in the eye when he talks to you, he remembers your name, and he listens.

He also has that unique "something" that really cant be defined , but when I explain it most people understand it.
He is an honest man, and when he shakes your hand there is a man behind it, not a politician.

Even thought I dont agree with most of what Evan Bayh supported or what he would like to accomplish, it was all the little things, the things that really cant be defined, that caused me to support him.
If he had run, I would have spent every penny i had to support him.

Now while I have never met Obama, he seems to have many of those same qualities.

Cool.

Meanwhile, so much going on in Columbus! Phone banks galore, debate-watching parties, "Soap for Hope" on February 29th (write "YES WE CAN!" with soap on inside of back car window), "Wear your Obama T-Shirt Day" on March 1st, and on and on. Just read someplace about how Clinton was happy to get 1,000 responses to a call for volunteers throughout Obama, while a single meeting in Columbus (I mentioned it here, was too late in the day for me to go) attracted 500 volunteers on 24 hours' notice. We'll see how it all translates...

My crystal ball tells me that all this activity translates into a Obama win on March 4th.
