QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 11:43 AM) That would only be a good analogy if there was no tornado whatsoever. you get my point.

should note that Obama gave 6% in 05 and 06 which is double the national average.

The End :crying :crying

Pay CLOSE attention to 4:40-5:00. She used his service / POW experience to defend him. "He's a true patriot"

QUOTE(lostfan @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 09:41 PM) Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't she say it more than once? Four times

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) I think that is an inaccurate characterization. I saw it today. A republican strategist was asked about McCain and the fact the he has missed 56% of congressional votes since Jan of '07. First she tried to push it back on Obama and Clinton. then mentioned something about his service then moved on to something else. I have sen it SEVERAL times. They preface their comments by saying "he served his country" then move on to spin or ignore.

Can i just say something that is really bothering me recently. Every-time i hear someone try to criticize McCain, the McCain supporter instantly jumps up and says something like "he's a great american. a war hero. he served his country admirably" then skirts the issue. Really? Using his service to make up for his lack or knowledge on the economy or "Iran / al-quida" blunder? Please dont think this is some attack on McCain or his supporters. I just find it really insulting to use his POW experience as a reason to hide any flaws he may have.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 07:08 PM) Last time I checked, during weddings, the priest says; "Till death do you part." Even though I have a strong dislike for her, Hillary standing by her husband (even thought it was probably for political reasons) is something that should be admired, not frowned upon. I did hear her mention in an interview in the past that she had a tough choice. and her "future" factored into her staying with him. Now, what "future" would require you not divorce your husband? Senate? naaaa. McCain is there. Working in the private sector? naa... Running for president? YEP! that's it. We didnt know it back then, but even THEN she was planning on running for president. PS: I am currently trying to track down the quote or soundbite from that interview. I have NO idea where I heard it, but I did hear it.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 05:20 PM) Well now that is very, very interesting. "I had a conversation with Governor Dean (Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean) today. Things are being done." I propose an Obama/Edwards ticket with Hillary getting gov. of N.Y. to appease her need for power.

Hardball hits Clinton HARD on NAFTA...

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 04:13 PM) Best spin of the night: A Clinton supporter said that Hillary's lie about Bosnia isnt all that important because well.... Roosevelt lied about his experience, JFK lied about some experience, blah blah blah. Therefore, since all these great American parents lied... it's ok she lied. I'll have video later when Hardball re-airs. Got the video:

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) Can we close this thread now? agreed. He took a lie detector test and failed.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) He said he hadn't heard the Youtube sermons in question, and that he actually didn't find out about them until he started running for president. He tried to avoid talking about the rest as much as he could and limit the damage but that didn't work so he had to acknowledge he's heard Wright say controversial things. What he did not say is "yeah, ok actually I was at that 9-11 sermon." Exactly. In retrospect, when you hear his interviews before his race speech, he VERY carefully chose his words. What you said is indeed correct.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 01:06 PM) that's good spin. Downplay your own expectations so that you can look better than expected and turn a slight loss or win into a positive. why not? To the Clinton's the caucuses dont count.

I have an interesting analogy here as to how BAD of a "misspeak" this is and how it was meant to be an outright lie. Back in November of 2006, my family and I were vacationing in Orlando Florida. On our way back to our time share we heard tornado warnings on the radio. Them moments later a tornado swept across the road in front of us. Our windshield was shattered. We almost died, but we all survived, but it was close. It was a very scary situation! The real story: The tornado was several miles south of our condo and we never saw it. only saw footage of the damage on the news that evening. You dont just "misspeak" major details like that.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) I wasn't so much surprised by this, since NC will be a solid state for him. What was more surprising to me, with Obama barely showing his face there yet, was the fact that Clinton's 15-20 point lead in PA has already shrunk to 10. Yea. Once again I'll go to the math. If she wins Penn by "only" 10 points, she needs to win roughly 68-70% of the remaining delegates to win the pledged delegate count. Obama has said a lose in Penn by 10 or less is a victory for him since it's a "Clinton state".

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 12:49 PM) Heh. Pretty funny write up of the tax stuff that happened today. From TPM: yea. i thought that was funny. Clinton has egg on her face. I think this proves that Clinton doesnt need until April 15th to release her taxes. If you make it a priority, you can do it fast.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) Obama opens up a HUGE lead in north Carolina I did the math: If Clinton wins Penn by 20 points (HIGHLY unlikely) and Indiana by 10. And if Obama wins NC by only 6 points. Then Clinton needs roughly 80% of the remaining PLEDGED delegates to win the total pledged delegates! This thing will be decided by May 6th.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 12:17 PM) No, she's too busy ducking from sniper fire to do her taxes. Damn Bosnian snipers...

Obama opens up a HUGE lead in north Carolina

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 11:36 AM) Honest question here... Has there been a President since Nixon who actually owned up to doing something (big) stupid or illegal? Depends on what the definition of the word "to" is.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 11:43 AM) in '08. :notworthy

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 25, 2008 -> 11:35 AM) No doubt about that. But the Clinton's have been in spotlight for a long time. Who knows if Obama can stand up to the same, extended scrutiny? Clinton has stuff that hasnt been "public" in a long time. I heard an interview with Dick Morris the other day about all her skeletons they have tried to hide int he past and are most likely hiding today. Namely Bill CLinton's conections to a group in Dubai.
