2008 Primaries Thread 3: The Rejecting and Denouncening

"I heard Obama speak," he said. "He hit me with that he-just-got-done-watching-'Malcolm X,' and I swear to God, I'm like, 'Yo, Obama!'

"I'm Obama to the end now, baby!"

But the musician also admitted he's lost interest in the protracted Democratic race, and may not support either candidate.

PA Gov. Ed Rendell on Fox News coverage of the Democratic primary campaign:

"I think during this entire primary coverage, starting in Iowa and up to the present -- FOX has done the fairest job, and remained the most objective of all the cable networks. You hate both of our candidates. No, I’m only kidding. But you actually have done a very balanced job of reporting the news, and some of the other stations are just caught up with Senator Obama, who is a great guy, but Senator Obama can do no wrong, and Senator Clinton can do no right."

Politician flattering the particular group of voters he's addressing shockah!

Ah, this is the same Fox that went apeshit on Wright and then got all pissant when called on it in the Obama speech.

Primary shenanigans could backfire
By JOSH KRAUSHAAR | 3/31/08 6:51 PM EST

Could Rush Limbaugh be responsible for tipping the election outcome in a key Republican primary to fill the seat vacated by former Rep. Roger Wicker in Mississippi?

That’s what some Republican operatives in the state are suggesting.

As part of his self-described “Operation Chaos,” the conservative talk-show host urged his listeners to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primary in order to draw out the presidential nomination process as long as possible.

But in Mississippi, those party-switchers may not have realized the implications of their decision: The Republicans who voted in last month’s Democratic primary now are not allowed to cast ballots in Tuesday’s hotly contested runoff between Glenn McCullough, the former chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority, and Greg Davis, mayor of one of the fastest-growing towns in the state’s 1st Congressional District.

And given how close the race could end up being, the fact that those ticket-splitters must stay on the sidelines could mean the difference between a McCullough and a Davis victory.

“We had one local conservative radio host saying, ‘Go vote for Hillary Clinton,’” said Davis campaign manager Ted Prill. “And he got flooded with calls complaining. And then he corrected himself and said, ‘Except if you’re voting in the 1st District.’”

HAHAHAHAHA.

politix is hard

Using a vote in bad faith is horrible, but I don't know what's worse - directing dittoheads to do so or being that dittohead who follows.

Clinton likens herself to 'Rocky' (AP)

Rickrolling, so three days ago. Good times.

Three days ago?

3/29, never forget

Okay, because I love any opportunity to discuss Rocky:

In a speech in Philadelphia today, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, will compare herself to Philly icon Rocky Balboa.

"Well, could you imagine if Rocky Balboa had gotten half way up those Art Museum steps and said, 'Well, I guess that’s about far enough?'" Clinton will ask, according to her prepared remarks released to the press.

"Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common," she will tell the Pennsylvania A.F.L.-C.I.O. audience. "I never quit. I never give up. And neither do the American people."

Um….Senator?

Rocky lost.

It was a split decision, but the judges (superdelegates?) awarded the fight to Rocky's black opponent, Apollo Creed.

Rickrolling stupidest internet joke ever

"Eye of the Tiger" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks from July 24, 1982. It was preceded by "Don't You Want Me" by the Human League and followed by "Abracadabra" by the Steve Miller Band.

after reading rick astley's modest and funny response to a reporter's questions about "rickrolling" and then hearing a full hour-long radio doc about stock aitken & waterman i have more fondness for rick astley than any other pop star i can think of right now, including robyn

Rocky lost.

It was a split decision, but the judges (superdelegates?) awarded the fight to Rocky's black opponent, Apollo Creed.

Rocky drew the first fight and won the second with Creed.

Rocky and I have a lot in common," she will tell the Pennsylvania A.F.L.-C.I.O. audience. "I never quit.

Thing is almost the entire Rocky story arc isn't so much about him not quitting as about him not knowing when to quit.

NEVER GONNA GIVE U UP NEVER GONNA LET YOU WHATEVER

LUV GETTING RICKROLLED

I'm sure that will change when I'm working again tho.

she's the brain-damaged, delusional rocky of rocky v

I look forward to Hillary running a restaurant where she walks around telling any fucker who will listen how important she once was.
