PS: If the mods feel it necessary, this could possibly go under the "Kosovo Declares Independence" thread. But it seemed like a big enough story to warrant its own.

OH.... MY.... GOD! If you value your ears and dont wish to jump off a roof, dont watch this...

WOW! January yields debt for Hillary Clinton: $7.6 million!! So, she was in debt $7.6 million and LOANED (not gave) her campaign $5 million... that makes her 15 million raised in the first 15 days in February even more interesting. Basically, she netted $2.4 million the first half of February.

Interesting Note: Hillary is doing the "vote early" thing in Texas like she did in CA.

Basically, it cuts from Evan being on the second to last step of the pyramid to the other guy, then cuts back 6 seconds and Evan hadn't moved any higher on the pyramid. It caught my eye. Basically, they were making it a little more dramatic.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 03:36 PM) Please tell me you read that somewhere and you weren't sitting in front of the tv with your stop watch. hahaha I was watching it online. I noticed something didnt seem right so i rewound it and used my watch timer.

UH OH! Did McCain and Lobbyist have a Romantic Relationship?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 04:57 PM) Some democrat said that about Obama yuppies at a campaign event. edit: Oh, and he was a invited speaker, not just some guy in the audience. best part is that the Clinton campaign said "we are glad he is supporting us" or something like that. so they DEFENDED him!

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 02:34 PM) Not sure what ya mean. I remember it being 1:19 when he finished. He beat his old time by 1 second. He did. But if you use a stop watch while watching it... from the moment he starts to the moment he crosses the line it was 1:26 even though the TV said 1:19.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) McCain may very well do so. He's 72 years old, and his state's law requires the governor to appoint a person from his party in the event of a vacancy IIRC. ah and what happens in IL if Obama wins? What happens to his seat?

Apparently BillyBoy just said in Texas that if Hillary doesnt win Texas AND Ohio "I dont think she can win". So, if she looses either, she should drop out.

In the guys eliminator, he finished in 1:19. However, the "aired" version was 1:26. So, they actually lengthened the eliminator by taking the clock off the screen and cutting to the guy who was trailing.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) Sorry, executive order. It's been in place since President Ford. executive order against an assassination? Seems kinda odd. Especially when it can be used against terrorists.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 12:49 PM) Of course that pesky law against assassination may get in the way of some leaders. what law?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) Teamsters reportedly to endorse Obama today. That would leave Hillary with only 1 of the 4 biggest unions in the country behind her.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 12:30 PM) You're going to weasel out of it because he said the word "Act" instead of the word "Bomb" aren't you? Could send in a special ops force or hire an assassin. But yes, I would tend to believe he means bomb.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 12:26 PM) But I'm sure McCain supported it even though in his victory speech last night he is still blasting the notion that Obama would want to do something like this. And Obama never said he would bomb Pakistan. If someone can find me a quote where he said that I'll paypal you $100. Not only that, but he said he would only act if Musharraf didnt.. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said. http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNew...132206420070801

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 12:03 PM) I thought this was an interesting piece. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/19/c...o-_n_87433.html I am SHOCKED it took the media THIS long to figure this out. Talk about lax reporting. I called this out 19 days ago (on digg of all places) and people seemed to ignore it. All the news agencies were reporting this operative killed in Pakistan and how great a victory it was. i thought.. "you dumbasses. you are missing the key part of this story. We just bombed in PAKISTAN. A country we said is an strong ally and we cant invade". Add in all this talk from Bush and McCain about how Obama is ignorant and was going to ruin the sovereignty if Pakistan... but the Bush administration is the one who BOMBED!

Clinton cant seem to beat Obama, so now she is going after an ill-informed Texas STATE Rep...

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 10:35 AM) With that said, how much resentment is there against Hillary that is stoking up Obama? If the party faithful deem that's what's happening, you bet your ass they will side with Clinton. wait... i dont understand your logic. You are saying because a lot of people dont like hillary, that will make MORE people vote for her? That's twisted logic.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 10:21 AM) Many are already committed to her. 80% of my local superdelegates are already pledged to her. They have been for months. I think what he is saying is that they undecided delegates will lean Obama and I bet many of the decided Clinton delegates will switch if he starts to pull ahead.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 09:56 AM) Obama surrogate gets nasty wow. that's a stretch.

Let the nastiness begin... Clinton surrogate gets out right NASTY!
