2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

Thanks, was just going to do that - that's the TPM article you couldn't read, Hurting 2. (xpost)

xx, that is

rational /= 'reasonable' dan! pretty much everyone on this thread (far as i know - i could be wrong) is reasonable. even morbs is REASONABLE in a enraged/engorged mclaughlin-germond luvchild way. pretty fucking slim few are RATIONAL. i mean dear god was this place always like this? ponderous! anyhow what gets me about huck is that his reasonableness is clearly rooted in his faith as much as his batshit 'lock up the gays!' unreasonableness.

yeah, basically says what I thought.

Huckabee should run for Senate when his governorship term is up - he could become the new McCain - ie., the Dem's favorite Republican maverick.

picturing a Wire season-closing montage set to "You Can't Always Get What You Want" with McCain walking morosely down the steps of the Senate, followed by a Huck's Scarborough appearance.

obama is slamming out historic speeches every day now

dude's the lil wayne of speeches

" - sasha frere jones"

I still wouldn't rule out a 2010 Senate run for Huckabee, when the other Arkansas senate seat is up for election. I think that he probably was just ready for a rest from campaigning this year, and the goodwill and recognition he built up this year will still be around in 2010.

even morbs is REASONABLE in a enraged/engorged mclaughlin-germond

ewwww, ewww, ewww

So none of you really care about where Obama's getting his $$$ from, huh? Even if it's the subprime/pre- and post-post-Katrina bandits? I thought his was a NEW politics...

thank god we have a 100% clean money candidate like Ralph Nader with such a realistic shot of winning the white house

Hooray for impotent moral absolutes!

Three cheers for accomplishing nothing!

So none of you really care about where Obama's getting his $$ from, huh?

He's not demonstrated any inclination to return political favors based on donations in his presidential campaign, so until that happens, I can't say I care all that much.

lol nader's money is pretty far from clean.

Wasn't that the joek lol

Well observed there, balls.

you people kinda deserve what yer gonna get.

What's that going to be?

Whereas you will continue to live happily in the nation of Morbius.

Ixnay on the Uckabeehay as Enatorsay, easeplay.

anyway, I guess Perrin has been lurking...

What's your favorite speech, Morbs? What sets the standard for you?

pp what can you tell me about yr boy mark pryor? some hot chick i know (jena knows her too) is interning w/ him.

eazy he already said kucinich or sharpton up above.

McGovern '72 (balls, indeed)

TPM:EC on why the Michigan mulligan wouldn't have mattered anyway:

The fact that nu-ilx doesn't let us ban people from individual threads?

yeah the way he caved on eagleton, what fortitude. if only obama had been brave enough to handle this rev. wright situation the same way.

I SEE, NO MISTAKES ALLOWED

i mean jesus mcgovern wasn't even the best candidate in 72 for fuxx sake.

Mark Pryor is probably more conservative than Giuliani or Bloomberg, a classic blue-dog Democrat. His dad was governor and senator as well. He's popular in the state and is running unopposed for re-election this year. (He's only served one term so far, making the fear of the Republicans not sacrificing anyone even more astonishing.)

Huckabee versus Pryor would've been a close race. They're both social conservatives with a huge populist touch. If Huckabee runs against Blanche Lincoln in 2010, it won't be as close for Huck. He lost a lot of support from local Republicans during the primaries, he'll be quite a bit more faded by then, and everyone just adores our Senator Blanche.

where were you in '72, balls?

Don't answer. seeya.

lol at morbs 'caving in to nixon campaign at a time when liberalism was still powerful/relevant is okey dokey - not caving in to limbaugh/hannity at a time when liberalism is dead/buried is wishy washy' twostep.

You know Morbs if you dropped the sanctimony I imagine a lotta people in this thread might be more receptive to your points. And Dennis Perrin is the worst kind of bombthrower.

that dennis perrin post could be michael savage

Know who McGovern's campaign manager was?

Dr. Morbious, you call yourself "DR MORBIOUS", I'm therefore not going to take anything you say seriously. I picture you wearing a cape and gnashing your teeth behind a mask, punching an iron-gloved fist into the palm of your other gloved hand, so angry about your irrelevance

apologies if you are in fact a Dr. named "Morbious"

MW, Gary Hart.

take "balls" seriously instead.

Dr. M = MF Doom

i am starting to doubt that dr. c is really a doctor, he is probably one of those internet people who like to call themselves a doctor. probably has aspies.

the more relevant question, seems to me, is where were you in 1980, and can anybody tell me what happened to the incumbent, and the incumbent's party

how deeply involved was warren beatty in the mcgovern campaign? i've read stories but figured they were akin to hillary and sinbad facing down mladic.

where were you in '72, balls?

sometimes the answer is in the question ;)

lolz

"Yes, yes -- front, back, on our knees, bent over, sprawled out, switched up, port, stern, aft, the whole fucking thing!"

"Gotcha! Watch the teeth, lube the hands, steady strokes, maintain the rhythm!"

^^ morbs if any ilxor tossed this kind of gay baiting bs your way you'd flip the fuck out
