2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

THEY HAVE THE SAME HAIR, FOOL!

you know what freaked me out recently? ciao bella's mint chocolate chip gelato. and don't get me wrong, ciao bella is god-like, but they use real fresh from the garden mint in their gelato and it's like eating an herb garden. waaaaay too strong for me. i think i must prefer fake mint. unless i'm having a julep. or tea or something.

i've made my peace with cilantro. we agree to disagree. and i've even grown a little fond of my old nemesis. now that every restaurant on earth no longer feels the need to dump an ounce of the stuff on whatever i'm eating.

i kinda hate her but sure theres a lot worse out there - its a little painful watching her clapping smiling getting the crowd pumped right now

Hey remember Mark Halperin's cryptic message earlier? 'White lights lead to red lights which lead to exits'? You know, like on an airplane? That's in trouble?

mark halperin is my favorite republican

i hate everybody and even i think obama is awesome! that must say something. i even like his wife! and i hate everyone's wife! she was killer on larry king last night. flirty, cool, and friggin' smart as hell.

once obama hits texas and starts chowing down on some tacos, he'll have the latino voters eating out of his hand. just you wait!

did i mention that every town on martha's vineyard went for obama? we are way smart. ONE guy voted for fred thompson. i gotta find that guy.

that would be a fun little project

yes Michelle Obama rules. and dresses sooooo well.

their whole family is lookin good

Ohio poll numbers are totally useless this early.

wow is anyone watching this hillary pandering to texas right now - surprised shes not wearing a cowboy hat

Cilantro is like the George W Bush of herbs.

An abomination! I protest. The trick with cilantro is to use it sparingly. As opposed to Bush, who should not be used at all.

xxp yes they are. witness VA results:

According to exit polls, Obama won nearly 60 percent of the female vote, a demographic that has carried Clinton to success in past primaries.

"theres this phrase in tx, youve all heard it before, all hat and no cattle"

?!?!?

yeah I'm watching jh0. she was like translucently worried at first, before she got going.

she will be clearing brush in no time

HOOS NOT REALLY A TEXAN

The trick with cilantro is to use it sparingly

I've been taught to avoid it completely. The one time I broke Mom's rule and used it on black beans = swill.

None of you people have had proper Vietnamese cuisine, I can tell. Philistines.

i like cilantro and I vote

I question the taco-enthusiasm of any person who defames cilantro

This cilantro kills fascists.

i hate cilantro but i love brownie except when the browns are playing the steelers

I went to a thai restaurant recently and ordered the stir fry. The definitely not-thai cook only put the following things in: chicken, lime, onions, iceberg lettuce, and cilantro. Worst Thai Ever.

which is everyday in my mind :\

xpost

wtf who of any ethnicity cooks iceberg lettuce?

I like how Hillary constantly rails against No Child Left Behind while conveniently avoiding the fact that she fucking voted for it to begin with

(sorry just checkin in while watchin her speech in El Paso)

How tf is Hillary even allowed to get coverage for her ignore-the-polls-today-hey-look-at-me-instead rally?

Okay, so I'm away from television. Did she actually use the "all hat, no cattle" line in reference to Obama?

Hillary's Texas "rally" is making me miss Ann Richardson

RICHARDS, holla

NASA's Ann Richardson:

Obama's in a zone again tonight.

He kinda lives in a zone.

He's been peaking lately, tho. He understands building -- and sustaining -- momentum. But he'll be sorely tested in that regard in a GE.

Did she actually use the "all hat, no cattle" line in reference to Obama?

nah she was talkin about GW

McCain: "That man is a dynamic speaker."

Romney was right. Up next to Obama, McCain is pretty much exactly like Bob Dole.

john mccain talks like the real seymour skinner

McCain's speech here is just so unbelievably sorry.

Well, he's road testing an interesting theme against Obama right now: McCain -- unlike Obama -- isn't claiming to be a transformative figure that was sent here to save the nation; I'm a humble man who has been improved by those around me and I want to help the nation in turn.

It's not a bad line. He's just not great delivering it.

He is a less offensive figure to me tonight.

Maybe he'll be more palatable as he needs to pander to the right less-and-less.

Yeah that's what I mean. He sounds like even he's bored listening to his speech.

xpost.

Chris Matthews is making a good point re: McCain.

McCain is surrounded by listless, elder establishment types, and he seems -- compared to Obama -- very listless and defensive.

(Still, War Hero; Hawk; Maverick; Press LOVES him. Hard to beat).

I thought the press "loved" Obama now.
