2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

I got 100 problems 'cause this bitch is one?

losing the nas vote

somebody must've posted the Jack Nicholson endorsement video, yeah?

so about the celebrity robocalls -- i assume there's at least a small amount of research into demographics to determine whether or not a particular caller would be useful? most people in my grandparents' neighborhood in ohio wouldn't have a fucking clue who jay-z is

HE IS LIKE VERY OTHER POLITIAN

lol an old hs friend going to school in ohio just emailed me all hyped cause he got a jay call

Barack-A-Wear

want to get really frustrated? http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/03/marc-andreessen-for-obama/

obligatory "Big Pimpin" joke

Is Jay-Z being pimped out in some weird way?

2:46pm EST and still no Drudge headline about voting irregularites.

Not for nothin never happen
I'll be forever mackin
Heart cold as assassin, I got no passion
I got no patience and I hate waitin'
'O' get your ass in
An let's ri i i i iide

I read homie's blog entry last night, and I guess if you decontextualize them like that "normal" and "smart" can come off as crytoracist comments ala "clean & articulate," but in context they struck me as measured considerations: guy is not just a politician who knows how to say the right things to the right people, he's an intelligent person who seems genuinely interested in his audience and doesn't come across as "above" anyone he speaks with.

Unless I'm missing your point, YGS?

xxxxxp

oh no i meant the comments! i like marc andreeson.

there must be voting today.

lolz at Josh Marshall saying he feels Hillary's been maltreated when he passes on Drudge smears against her verbatim

what?

tracer, i hate to sound like a mommy, but don't you ever have anything nice to say about anything?

I thought it was very nice when he laughed at my Hillary/Barack joke upthread.

no seriously tracer. i read this site just about every day, i must have missed something? what are you talking about?

i can't discern any stable position tracer has taken other than his preference for sifting for supposed hypocrisy and for weird devil's advocacy of hillary. sure, the horse of the state needs a gadfly, but there's a difference between critical insight and chafing cynicism, you know?

clinton's daily schedules as first lady are set to be released by march 20.

Jan. 29, 1993-- Kick off 2008 Presidential campaign.

my stable position: the national political press in america is almost always wrong about everything, including what counts as news

Waste my vote on John Edwards? More like waste my vote on John HAIRCUT.

so let's follow your advice and only refer to the press to make fun of this or that article.

(xpost)

Amirite? *offers a fist to bump*

xp

Obama aides refuting Clinton's peacekeeping in Balkans:

"She has talked about a dangerous mission to Bosnia, but news reports indicate that she was accompanied on that trip by Sinbad and Cheryl Crow," he said.

LOL

haw, her entourage

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/3/4/134227/0729/177/468654

this dailykos diary makes the claim (based on this toy: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/29/delegate.counter/index.html, which I looked at yesterday but was too busy to really futz with too much), that there is NO WAY clinton can win, unless she unexpectedly wins OH and TX by more than 10% each. Best case scenarios for her seem to indicate she still falls behind Obama by 8 delegates.

dailykos OTM Hillary is screwed, drop out now plz thx

I hope she recycles Romney's concession speech, just for lolz.

"I can't let this country fall into the hands of terrorists!"

dailykos OTM Hillary is screwed, drop out now plz thx

i'd like to think this is true but i have my unfounded doubts

the major thing i don't understand about the whole "the press has been unfair to hillary" narrative is -- well, wouldn't she have gotten a little more positive press coverage if she won anything during the entire month of february? saying that the media reporting on his successes and her failures in each and every one of the post-Super Tuesday states constitutes some sort of bias is pretty fucking dumb.

OTM Hillary is screwed, drop out now plz

Okay, I haven't paid attention today (partly out of fear that HRC will win both Tx and Ohio, and we'll continue to have a nasty primary fight while McCain consolidates his support). But is the above line based on some actual developments, or it is just Shakey being Shakey? (no insult intended, Shakey, I just know your feelings toward HRC).

after assembling that it occurred to me that there prob a real version out there

I kind of have to give Hillary kudos for trying to push Sheryl Crow in front of a bullet.

look at that dailykos link - its simple math.

x-;ost

I hear Hillary gave Sheryl Crow breast cancer - alert the DRUDGE REPORT

Sinbad's teeth should shield Sheryl.

Is that Gen. Mark McKinney on the right there?

a few xposts

the simple math shakey mo is reposting from kos has been done repeatedly since the carolina primary by andrew sullivan commenters

Possibly good omen for Obama in the early AP exit poll data? They say 20% of voters in Ohio and 25% in Texas were Independents. SurveyUSA--arguably the most reliable pollster--predicted significantly lower Independent turnout in each state, and had Obama comfortable winning Independents in both states (though by a larger margin in Texas than in Ohio). Could be enough to put Obama over the top in Texas and keep it closer than expected in Ohio. Maybe.

Plz,plz,plz be true.

god that was a bad hair era for hill

ok, it was a bad hair era for most people
