Today I saw a picture of Obama's wife for the first time. They make a nicer couple than Hillary and Bill. Hill Bill...

What, that Europe has 700+ million people compared to USAs 300 million people?

Oy.

I am really worried about the elections. The primaries are turning into such a nightmare.
And Hilary is making a lot of progress catching up to Obama. But I did think him very eloquent when I saw him speak. I don't know, it just makes me want to rip my hair out. I wince. |

No surprises from W. Virginia, but this is interesting:
Quote:
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/ Talking Points Memo And this is cheery Democrats win Mississippi 1st. Quote:
All three of those districts were strongly Republican- R+6, R+6.5, and R+10 () respectively. Former Speaker Denis Hastert used to cruise to re-election in the Illinois seat; Louisiana 6th has been Republican since Nixon's Southern Strategy in the 1970s; the Mississippi 1st is very conservative. In each case, the National Republicans poured tons of money in the fight and specifically campaigned against Obama, Nancy Pelosi and "San Francisco values"- apparently their Mississippi campaign was 24-hour Reverend Wright- and still they lost these heavily Republican seats. Could be a long night for Republicans in November.

Concerning those "conservative" Democrats, Rex. It's Chuck Schumer's brilliant new strategy. The point about Republicans connecting these local Democrats to the national party---Obama---is to demonstrate that they aren't as "moderate" as they seem.
Case in point: Bob Casey jr.

Exactly. Except it isn't working. That's the point.

Okay, that's fine. But it shouldn't be out of bounds game-playing.
I agree that connecting local Democrats to Jeremiah Wright is quite the stretch.

I'm just sayin', so far in this cycle, it ain't workin'- BU WA HA HA HA HA! (Needless to say, I still believe that, no matter how much the electoral fundamentals are in their favour, the Democrats still have a pretty good chance of following their recent tradition of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.)

Here's to hoping they do. *swigs*
The question, I suppose, is whether McCain is drawing enough independents and McCain-o-Crats to outnumber the pot-smoking, Rolling Stone magazine-reading college students.

What do you call someone who doesn't like old people? A geriatrist?

Bah, McCain is too mature to complain about "age-ism". I'll do that for him.

Ageism is illegal in this country. Seriously. You can't cite a person's age as a reason not to employ them, for example.
But then, you can still vote for whoever you want for whatever reason you want, fortunately for Boris Johnson. |
