2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

mwahahaha

a pretty good article on Clinton's "Path to the Presidency" memo released after Tuesday.

*Tuesday's primary victories, I should say.

it was already posted a little bit up but yeah really depressing

oh, missed that, sorry deej. articles like that just cement in my mind what a colossal fuckup this whole thing might be.

the biggest prob is that it really could tear apart the party ... she certainly can't campaign for him effectively after this

Yeah, Hi I'm Hillary Clinton and I'm running for POTUSA on the platforms of healthcare, experience and my continued excellence as a surrogate for the Republican candidate. Please consider me when you vote, America.

I mean who does this possibly help other than herself and McCain?

This NYT article sheds some light on Obama's days in the senate.

It makes him seem very inexperienced but what is most damaging are the suggestions that he lacks the ability to stand up for something if it will make him look bad in any way.

yeah, according to lindsay graham

if Hillary does end up endorsing McCain publicly, that's a punch in the gut for McCain's chances among GOP voters. . .

Maybe Rush Limbaugh will publicly endorse Obama, to even the scales.

after the ny times article musing about the possibility of obama being shot, this is only slightly lower on the pro hrc propaganda scale

It seems like the article overall paints him that way.

I get the impression that he didn't want to get involved with a lot of the legislation or politics because he didn't want to look bad or tarnish his shiny image.

yet he was cool w/ being 'most liberal member' of the senate?

it felt to me more like he was a young member of an institution that values seniority more than anything else

Barack Obama IS YOUNGMEMBER

I don't know if this is a stupid question or not but I'll ask it anyway: what is the point of Ralph Nader (or any other non-Dem/Rep)'s candidacy? If voting was compulsory like it is over here (Belgium), I'd see the point of having an alternative for the "lesser of two evils" choice, but since it isn't and the unhappy/uninterested can stay at home, why does he bother?

so that the dem candidates feel obligated to address issues that nader could flank him on the left over

nader couldn't flank if he had nAIDS and more gayness

obama would eat him like some creature from before the extinction 50000 years ago

discover fire gnawn

mccaine will at least fragment the base so there won't be a draft. obama will get oft like bhutto, obv. unless america comes through on the dyke

meaning Cheney's Daughter, MY NOVEL

ftlol??

"Liz?" asked Alice from the bedroom.

"Yes?" Liz was crashed out on the sofa watching the news.

"Where's my collar? The good one?"

"It's on the kitchen counter. I was oiling it."

Just a month earlier, this might have been an unusual conversation for Alice to be part of. But then Liz had introduced her to a world of sex that she had never imagined. It was a world of leather, chains, dominance and submission. But it was a world that had helped Alice in a number of ways. Despite spending most of their sexual 'sessions' crawling around, obeying commands or being tied up in some way, Alice felt safe. She cared for Liz and Liz cared back. It might have been a more elaborate erotic game than other people played, but Alice never felt like the 'inferior' member of the relationship.

The freak will fall with the lamb, I guarantee it!

oh wow look you've discovered an ILE thread about politics! such a wonderful experiment, full of potential. unfortunately your grant money's run out.

my advice? sober the fuck up and see a fucking doctor. peace!

Thank you, though. More questions about politics should be answered with lesbian book fragments.

"Senator Clinton hints that both of you could be on the same ticket. Do you see any circumstances where that would happen?" Mullahy asked.

"Not with me as vice president," Obama replied. "I am running for president."

"If she is suggesting that she is interested in the vice presidency, then obviously that is something we would take into consideration," he added.

Alice picked the collar up. "Do you think it's dry enough to pack?"

"Should be, but wrap it up in one of the dish towels just in case, and we'll air it out a bit when we get there."

"Why did you have to oil it today anyway?" Alice asked.

"I forgot to yesterday. I just wanted it to look nice. Besides, you've been sweating in it a lot, and that dries up the leather."

Alice grinned at the "sweating" comment and gave Liz a quick kiss on the forehead, and then the taller girl drew Alice down for a slightly longer kiss on the lips. Then Alice looked disapprovingly at Liz's feet, which were resting on the nice oak coffee table her grandfather had given her. "Feet off the furniture. It's hard to find real wood furniture these days, and you don't want to scuff it," she said as she wandered back into the bedroom to finish packing.

"If she is suggesting that she is interested in the vice presidency, then obviously that is something we would take into consideration," he added.

been waiting for them to go there. lol

"There are elected delegates, caucus delegates and super-delegates, all for different reasons, and they're all equal in their ability to cast their vote for whomever they choose," Hillary told Newsweek, when asked how she can win the nomination despite the current delegate math.

"Even elected and caucus delegates are not required to stay with whomever they are pledged to. This is a very carefully constructed process that goes back years, and we're going to follow the process."

good luck w/ that

Fact is, Power's correct. Hillary Clinton is a monster who will stoop to anything, urged on by her equally repellent husband and her ghastly advisers. What's more, a large number of liberals not only know this, they openly accept it, and will reward Hillary with votes should she somehow wrench the nomination from Obama. So why apologize?

Now, if Power had added to her "monster" blast that the best way to deal with Hillary is to have NATO bomb her campaign for 78 days, then have her arrested and taken to the Hague for a war crimes trial, it would at least be true to form. Of course, I'm not comparing Clinton's campaign to Milosevic's Serbia, simply because the Clintons have much more blood on their hands than did the Balkan strongman. And if Milosevic deserved his fate . . .
