2008 Primaries Thread

It's a little funny. Way more grim, but still a little funny.

"no no, the McCain booze is aged in a damp cellar for 5 & 1/2 years"

not funny at all

I'm sorry, but that is a little funny.

POURED OUT A MCCAIN FOR MY DEAD HOMIES

thanks for bringing up glenn beck guys!

John Barleycorn McCain

Ah, conspiracy theories:

We're told from a reliable source on the ground at CPAC: "They stuffed the main room with McCain supporters. But the overflow room booed him heartily, cheered when Romney was mentioned, booed when McCain said he hopes we forgive his absence from CPAC in the past."

Our source was sure to add: "There was forced applause by the supporters, but not the whole room; laughs and scoffs when he mentioned his conservative record."

The overflow room has 100+ people in it, we're told, with minimal (seven-ish) McCain supporters.

I LOVE THE CORNER:

It Needs to Be Said [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

This McCain speech would not have been given today, if it weren't for folks like Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Andy McCarthy, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. Can I thank them on behalf of America?

Any port in a storm, Ms. Lopez.

The McCain speech was pretty vile. This bilge about Democratic obstruction on FISA (when Jay Rockefeller and Harry Reid want to help McConnell as much as they can) is pure cynicism:

It is shameful and dangerous that Senate Democrats are blocking an extension of surveillance powers that enable our intelligence and law enforcement to defend our country against radical Islamic extremists."

Shouldn't we be happy about McCain's pending nomination in one way: it signifies a stake through the heart of the Rove-esque Republican revolution? At least McCain has shown he's been able to go across the aisle in the past. If Congress remains Democratic, won't that be a good balance, if McCain in fact becomes Prez? Granted, he's utterly horrible on the war.

I didn't see the quote in the post preceding mine. Forget what I said. That's a fucking joke

She means he's being pushed to the right to appease the right-wing talk show cabal? If it's true, and if -- a big if -- he has to keep pushing rightward though November, it might hurt him in the GE.

Yeah McCain has one of the worst records when it comes to privacy.

Shouldn't we be happy about McCain's pending nomination in one way: it signifies a stake through the heart of the Rove-esque Republican revolution?

Rove is as independent as anyone. He could decide to be a Democratic strategist if he feels it will help him and those who wish him to do so. Insert "muahaha"s as needed.

Rove left the sinking ship last year, for all intents and purpose.

um, no. Rove has been an activist, ideological Republican since he was young.

"Huckabee Defiant: On arrival in NY City to tape a show with Tyra Banks, Arkansan vows to go on."

note to self: TIVO TYRA

Apparently Tom Delay is complaining about the room-stacking right now on Cavuto's show. Poor boy.

lol'd at this

I am in shock over the upcoming TyraHuckapalypse.

i don't want to watch it, i just want the gifs

He's a populist!

Some details:

Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee will attend private meetings and tape guest appearances on national television programs on Thursday, February 7, 2008. He will appear on Tyra Banks Show and The Colbert Report. Here are some video opportunities:

4:00 p.m. ET - Arrives at Tyra Banks Studio, 221 W 26th Ave (Between 7th and 8th)

4:15-5:15 p.m. ET - Taping of guest appearance on The Tyra Banks Show.

6:15 p.m. ET - Arrives at Steven Colbert Studios, 513 West 54th St (Between 10th and 11th Ave.)

6:30-7:30 p.m. ET - Taping of guest appearance on The Colbert Report.

Clearly all three of them should present together. This is a golden opportunity not to be wasted.

bass guitars & vaseline for everyone!!!

He's a populist, she's a hottie. Good match.

and both crazier than a shithouse rat

I really just love this because after all the serious/dumbass talk today at CPAC, what a contrast.

Ned Raggett OTM.

guys when does newt gingrich emerge from seclusion to save the gop?

Obama "suggests Hillary should release her tax returns, if she's going to be putting her own money into the campaign."

i really wish the media would stop with this BROWN VS. BLACK : RACE WAR! angle, it's almost as annoying as BLACK WOMEN IN CRISIS: RACE VS. GENDER from a few weeks back.

Rasmussen tracking Obama & Clinton tied at 44%

My mom called me up right after Romney's speech. "In this time of war? In this time of war? If I was there, I would have hit him in the head with a stick."

And then we had an awkward conversation about the dems, since she's a Hillary supporter.

Apparently she came out of the voting booth on Tuesday and said to my dad, "Canceled your vote!"

hahahaha

BREAKING

OBAMA GIRL DIDN'T VOTE!!!!!

hahaha

so does McCain's virtual lock on the Republican nomination possibly help Obama draw in independent voters in the forthcoming primaries -- the Anti-Hillary effect?

hahahhahaha

There isn't a picture on the web that can't be captioned with the phrase "WHERE THE TITTIES AT???" (picture thread)

Romney: "This isn't an easy decision. I hate to lose."

LOL you douchebag losing wasn't your "decision"
