2008 Primaries Thread

early indications suggest that edwards' blog activist types are siding for obama, possibly helping him snag a moveon.org endorsement

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0108/Consolidating_the_left.html

wondering whose eulogy to the edwards' campaign will be the most well received at tonight's debate...

"... a man who had the courage to apologize for his wrongheaded jihad-enabling vote..."

he didn't just vote for it, he fucking co-sponsored it

UH

Giuliani masks = landfill

Okay, that Romney mask.

The Bill mask needs a lot more red paint.

The Romney mask looks like a repainted Kerry

what's Rudy gonna do now, angle for AG in a prospective McCain admin?

Don't feel too bad for Rudy - he got to fly around Florida for a couple of months and be greeted by adoring crowds, all expenses paid.

i've noticed obama camp is really leaning heavily on the web advertising -- obama has the big splash ad on salon.com today

Don't feel too bad for Rudy

oh no need to worry on that count. fucker should be in jail and barred from public office imho

That Obama mask is like a still from a mediocre 80s film in which Richard Pryor's face gets caught in a taffy machine.

I can hear the laughter:

That's a nice Ed Meese mask but where's one for HRC?

I can hear the laughter:

that's some serious Legion of Doom cackling going on there

I just early-voted for the first time! On an electronic machine, no less.

Obama's mask looks like across between Robert LaFollette and Nixon (which sounds about right, no?).

ted kennedy and john kerry in the bay area this weekend to speak about obama; emails went out about five minutes ago, obama server completely jammed. too bad! i wanna see me a kennedy!

The Nation has endorsed Obama

With former First Lady Nancy Reagan looking on, Paul disagreed with President Reagan's choice of Sandra Day O'Connor as a Supreme Court justice, while Huckabee and McCain declined to say whether they would have tapped her for a spot on the high court.

I'm sorry.

"Would you go there if we promised you a spot on the Supreme Court?"

Sandy and Mommy in a Huckathree-way?

uh sorry

Huckathree-way

Nightmares forever.

I don't think these apologies have been strenuous enough.

so i haven't bothered to look at salon.com in like, two years, but I just took a look and it appears to redirect to obama's site. how long have they been doing that?

Don't feel too bad for Rudy - he got to fly around Florida for a couple of months and be greeted by adoring crowds, all expenses paid.

Adoring crowds of 100 per campaign stop.

akm, it's adspace; they put the obama website frontpage up as the daily non-salon-subscriber ad

OK, that Obama ad on Salon is the creepiest fucking I've ever seen.

Dropping out lost Edwards 4%, but the other 8% is in it for the long haul.

Hey- but at least he wasn't freezing his ass off in NH. Pretty smart strategy if you ask me.

the rudy campaign was really a tremendous fail. like, "i'll wait until the second trimester to stop drinking" level of foolhardiness.

Hey- but at least he wasn't freezing his ass off in NH. Pretty smart strategy if you ask me.

"We studies our campaign's strengths and weaknesses and decided that it was better to spend our paid-for vacation in Florida, not Iowa or New Hampshire."

a Rudy supporter to our campus paper today: "At least he kept us safe."

UH

SAFE FROM A MUSHROOM CLOUD OVER OUR CITY, ALFRED.

You could show some more appreciation.

lol. perhaps they are rolling averages?

x-post He means from the squeegee mens.

Websites with their site passes and such. Dumbasses.

TPM.tv (Josh Marshall) said today that Romney has decided not to buy any more ad time in Super Tuesday states, which -- to Marshall -- suggests that Romney knows the writing is on the wall.

If the "highlights" of last night's debate that TPM.tv showed are representative, Romney sounded terrible: Resigned and beaten. I've never seen him fumble over words before. And he stumbled at the precise time that he needed to be strong (when he was asked if McCain's claim that Romney favored a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq was accurate).

An example of the weird dynamics at work -- at RedState they're asking everyone to stop with the nasty racist comments like 'Juan McCain'.

wolf blitzer will be the debate moderator tonight. ugh.

he can't even moderate the volume of his own voice.

I'm just gonna take credit for calling this months ago - Romney should have had this thing on paper, but his fatal flaw was that he's a dilettante in the game - he sorta sucks at politics compared to the guys who've been doing this for most of their lives.

I still harbor hope that hair like Romney's will be appreciated by the Republican electorate.
