2008 Primaries Thread

alfred are you clocking in for morbz while hes on vacation or what

wtf is HRC with the turquoise necklace and earrings?

AZ/NM

lol at HRC for extolling the mediocrity of the Bill Clinton years.

"mediocrity" looks damn good if it's being compared to a total clusterfuck.

Blitzer. Wolf Blitzer.

"We're going to change the system like my husband did when beating George H.W. Bush" -- FUCK OFF

i'd take a million daria crazypants posts over your tired "politicians are bullshit amirite!~!!" schtick

hilary's won me over to the degree that i now feel for not wanting her to win (because she's got no fucking shot in the ge)

I'm just catching up...and on transcript Obama still looks better than HRC.

on the theory that "anyone looks like a giant when surrounded by pygmies"

hey guys did you ever notice that politicans say stuff to get elected? let me post condescendingly about it 40000 times

i'm glad that this isn't about attacks, but while Hil isn't quite on her A game, they're both really doing a good job of making the best mostly positive case for themselves

ethan, fuck off if you've never read any of the 10 million Obama posts I've made on this and the other thread.

yeah alfred go vote for Oliver Wendell Holmes, brah

she teed up on that one like ornaldo bloomps

calling her HRC is the most annoying thing ever btw

been meaning to say that for like 3 months

she's not a highway

the way they cut to commercial it was like the other coach had to call a time-out after a dunk

whenever he starts a sentence doyle mcmanus sounds like dave letterman

it's faster

caling her HRC is still better than the smug 'rodham' act

hahaha thats so true, incl shot of obama looking semi-dejected

xps

billy blythe lol look at me

Yeah, J0rdan. I say HRC all the time. No slight intended whatsoever. It's just easier than typing "Sen. Clinton." Calling her "Hillary" is what irks me.

BHO

barack hussein overdrive

Alfred, both brought their "A-Game" tonight.

i call her clinton or hilz

I once again suggest Sweet Lady H.

Yeah, Daniel otm. It's like NRO calling Mittens "Mitt" like they take Jaeger shots with him.

J0rdan, if I thought people would understand BO, I'd type that, but I'm sure you can see where that would lead to confusion and misunderstanding.

OK, that was a good Clinton answer.

i mean its just a pet peeve carry on

the question was if either of these candidates can be "CEO" of america with no business experience like mitt's got

I'm not actually watching/liveblogging the debate at the moment, but there was a pretty good npr piece yesterday about how Mitt's biz experience with takeover firms isn't really all that much like traditional executive experience

One area where I think Obama is winning tonight is that he's very aggressively road-testing his messages against John McCain. I think the meta-message is that he's better positioned to oppose him.

Obama's fumbling now. This is all air.

yeah 'i will be most effective going up against john mccain' - what does that even mean?!

'i opposed this war' - it's like hes saying NOTHING

I disagree. That's exactly his selling point. He needs to drive that home.

"There you go again"

big o calls the repubs iraq strategy "fuzzy" - nice

daniel i think that works in both their favors -- as long as stories about john mccain are being told, by them, on this stage, it sets the narrative up for either of them to tee up on

CHILLS

i was j/k-ing daniel esq

I guess we shouldn't make too much of this audience, which are going to clap like seals at any left-liberal one liner if it reminds them of Aaron Sorkin.

Understood, ethan.

WE'RE HAVING SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME

"iraqis have to get serious" hahaha

yeah who do these liberals think they are, applauding liberal policy ideas from a future president

lol at all the dumb-ass NASA questions getting ignored

As good a writer as Obama is, I can't FATHOM how he can't cite geopolitical data like HRC did re Syria and Jordan to support his foreign policy.
