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

balls, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:07 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:08 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

balls, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

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

akm, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:12 (sixteen years ago) link

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

akm, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:13 (sixteen years ago) link

MW, Gary Hart.

take "balls" seriously instead.

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

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:18 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

balls, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:18 (sixteen years ago) link

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

gff, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link

you're an idiot.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link

funny enough this seems to be morbz's policy on dennis perrin

and what, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:32 (sixteen years ago) link

that perrin post is like a bad hip-hop skit

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:34 (sixteen years ago) link

being smug about obama's cult of personality is pretty rich coming from a ron paul endorser

and what, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:36 (sixteen years ago) link

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Whatever Paul actually believes about minorities and queers is not the real concern here. What bothers liberals, TNR's James Kirchik among them, is that Paul is the only presidential candidate who is seriously running against the state. This includes anti-imperialism and calls to end the Drug War.

this is disingenuous AND nonsensical. Lolz at all those pro-imperialism pro-drug war librulz...

some bold, insightful commentary from tim mcveigh dennis perrin there

and what, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:42 (sixteen years ago) link

from that Perrin post on Paul, proving that ethan is a subliterate lil fuck:

I may not agree with most of his beliefs, nor that of the anti-statist right overall

so another lie, and bye thraid

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 17:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Word leaked out yesterday evening that Obama was coming to Portland to the hockey arena. Tickets were free and are already gone, of course.

Guardian reporting Hillary generally nowhere to be found when policy relevant to "experience" being reported YET was in WH when Monica happened.

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...

-- Dr Morbius, Wednesday, March 19, 2008 11:48 AM (3 hours ago) Bookmark Link

hes getting it from over 1 million people, including me

deej, Wednesday, 19 March 2008 20:32 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah, to attempt a serious response to that:

wall street has and will always have a shit ton of money to throw around, and will spend on politics. i can't really do anything about that, i can only control what i do with my own money.

it seems unlikely to me that Obama will do anything for these people because they've given him a lot of money, & having a shitload of tiny donors like me insulates him from needing them too much...hopefully. big donations like that don't come from enthusiasm and belief, like an individual, they are tactical. the minimal chance at some access down the road is worth whatever figure they've given (a pittance, no matter how big it looks).

wall street types are betting people: if they're giving Obama money it means they are betting he's going to win.
