She's not loco. She feels strongly about HRC, the same way most of the participants here apparently feel about Obama.

i happen to feel that feeling strongly for hillary is loco

onima: waht
deej: I don't begrudge anyone's support of Hillary because until Obama threw his hat into the ring, I was right there with them.

Barack Obama?
I'm doing a research project on the 2008 presidential candidates. My question... is Barack Obama the first Afrian American presidential candidate? If anyone could fill me in, I would appreciate it.

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
No, Jessy Jackson was the first but Obama is the first Muslim candidate. I know people (and he says he's a Christian) but I also know that Muslims lie as part of their religion like when Arafat said he's die for his country why wouldn't he lie for it.

Ahh yes, Arafat the muslim

headline on cnn when i was at the gym last night = "OBAMA'S RADICAL TIES"

sadly not about how totally radical his neckties are

Jessy Jackson!

don't forget tito

Jessy Monster Jackson

I'm gonna stop searching Yahoo answers, makes the BBC's "Have your say" look positively moderate.

Nostradamus prophesized the name of the antichrist is "Mabus." This can relate to why Obama is the antichrist. If you write obama+bush, you end up with obamabush. Do you spot "mabus" in the middle? Bingo. This is a strong indication that Obama will succeed Bush as president in 2008, further confirming the prohpecy.

Uh, isn't Ray MABUS one of Obama's campaign advisors?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Mabus

Jessy Jackson was the first

iirc, Shirley Chisolm was the first African American candidate.

From wikipedia:

Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm (November 30, 1924 – January 1, 2005) was an American politician, educator and author [1]. She was a Congresswoman, representing New York's 12th District for seven terms from 1968 to 1983. In 1968, she became the first African American woman elected to Congress. On January 23, 1972, she became the first major party African American candidate for President of the United States. She won 152 delegates.

Are you going to correct the "muslims always lie" part of that moron's answer too?

iirc correctly, sally hemmings was the first african-american on the presidental staff

Umm, isn't there a Nostradamus sub-clause of Godwin's Law?

OH NOES THE DEBBIL!

FWIW the thing that pisses me off about the 'armageddon' narrative is how it shows each successive generation thinks EVERYTHING ENDS WITH THEM.

I can't wait until 2013. It'll be just like the Jehovah's Witless implosion of 1976.

clinton campaign reports that they raised $35 million in february:

(apparently other reports say $24 million?)

PP, I always have trouble with that conundrum about how to find out if you were shipwrecked on the Island of Truth-Tellers or the Island of Liars. How can you tell them apart?

im gonna start posting this on the obama madrassa thread - there's 45 separate questions on yahoo answers asking if obama is the antichrist

having mindless rube cultists as a core constituency is a huge elecotral advantage - you can feed them any old sh1t!

Aimless, you find the hippie who cuts the barber with the crewcut's hair and go with him.

(smacks forehead) I never thought of that before!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE 'VOICE'

http://www.ideabg.com/clients/funtime/gal/photos/197k.jpg
its mostly the voice

But: Obama spokesman Bill Burton says his candidate has raised “considerably more than that.”

Ambinder: Obama team expected to announce raising more than $50 million so far this month. Permalink

New Florida General Election Numbers

Mason-Dixon/Photo Illustration

From Mason-Dixon poll:

McCain leads Obama 47-37.

McCain leads Clinton 49-40.

kinda worried that these smears are starting to really take hold what w/ the turban picture being thrown on like 60 newspapers across the country

Just imagine how bad the smear campaigns will if HRC is the nominee, and you'll worry less about what's coming Obama's way.

not sure I would lend too much creedence on florida polls just yet considering McCain had the opportunity to campaign (and win) there last month and the democrats did not.

anyway the amount of toxic bullshit floating around is worrisome, but obama's looked pretty adept at handling it thus far

Florida is not a bellweather, who cares?

because it has a huge number of electoral college votes and is not solid blue or solid red?

And McCain might -- just might -- choose Florida Gov. Crist as his VP nominee.

o fuk, then it would really be crist vs. anticrist

while i'm digging the fact that obama is polling better against mccain in various state match-ups, i really don't think these matchups really mean all that much right now. i keep seeing them cited everywhere, and they are certainly interesting to an extent. but really -- november is seriously far away. think back to iowa and consider how long this primary race has seemed (and it obviously started many many months before iowa). so much can happened between now and then that i don't really know how much anyone's 6 or 7 point lead means right at the end of february.

not sure I would lend too much creedence on florida polls just yet considering McCain had the opportunity to campaign (and win) there last month and the democrats did not.

exactly. one of the hundreds of factors to keep in mind.

GUYS IT'S NOT EVEN MARCH YET. IT'S TOO EARLY.

I think it's fairly safe to assume that Florida is in the R column

WHEN ITS MARCH THEN CAN WE

only 8 years ago it was in question tho

i'd really like to see virginia in play this year

you will

only 8 years ago it was in question tho

some places change faster than others. there was also a Southern guy and a more conservative Jewish guy on the ticket then.

also the old people got older

if Obama picks Sam Nunn, FL will be in play

xp - they do that

if Obama picks Sam Nunn, we'll find out how many of his starry-eyed collegiate supporters are total fucking idiots.
