Senator Jay Rockefeller, the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, endorsed Barack Obama today.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) ... i saw a lot of edwards speeches. believe me. and not once did he go on some big "yes we can" chant over and over and over. Not once did he shout that we're going to the promised land. Obama is a politicized Baptist Preacher which is strange considering his religiosity or lack thereof. Point is, he knows how to manipulate crowds - he knows how to work that mob mentality in his favor. and hey, good for him, it'll win him an election. all i'm saying is that that kind of thing as a concept is scary. It's obvious you loathe the man but why is it scary that the people of this country finally care about a politician?

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) i believed in the guy And none of Obama's supporters beleive in him? I see.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) it's like they f***ing worship the guy and that's just dangerous...Blind and lemming-like devotion is NEVER a good idea. Didn't you act like this when Edwards was still running?

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) Oh yay, more movies of uncomfortable band name drops. "Oh yeah, man the Ramones are awesome" "I was more of a sonic youth guy" "SOONIC YOUTH?" So I must not be the only person alive that found Juno highly overrated?

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 01:17 PM) Pretty impressive! not as good as the first, in my opinion, but VERY well done. Jessica Alba! *drool*

Clinton threatens lawsuit over Texas caucus system. LINK

I'd think the Obama campaign would like to add someone with military experience or excellent foreign relations cred to counter McCain. EDIT: Wesley Clark would seem like a good choice but he comes off as a wuss to me for some reason.

Any chance Sebelius or McCaskill got the nod for VP?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 06:36 PM) Bill Richardson says hello. You think Biden would be a better choice?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 04:31 PM) Come on Kap. It's a freakin lapel pin. To be honest, if i were given a choice to pick between a complete incompetent (GWB for example) or a truly exceptional leader (JFK for example) as our next president I would pass on the exceptional leader if he weren't wearing a flag lapel pin.

Apparently everyone but him and Obama.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 04:23 PM) ok look... I won't say that Obama is un-patriotic because of this. But, people have DIED fighting for what that flag symbolizes. I mean hell, if the flag as a symbol is that worthless, let's stop giving them out after veterans of our country die. If it's that worthless, then let's stop flying the damn thing. If it's that worthless, let's stop the pledge of allegiance. If it's that worthless... Obama has now made it a point. And that is what is bulls*** to me. You have got to be kidding me. The dope was calling out Obama for not wearing a flag pin but didn't have one on himself. Give me a break.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 04:10 PM) My wife made me watch it a while back. I cant even begin to tell you how much i dislike that movie. I could not STAND it. You should be waterboarded for saying that.

In case anyone was wondering, I think Rep Jack Kingston (R-GA) is a douche bag.

2 minute ads in every market in Texas and Ohio!?!?! Shows you what raising a crap load of money can do for a campaign. LINK

QUOTE(iamshack @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 02:45 PM) I just don't see how that will help Obama in the General Election. Why not someone like Edwards, that may appeal to some of the southern states or red states more? Edwards didn't even help get a win in his home state in 2004.

By "considerably more" I have a feeling it's more than 3 or 4 million.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 11:26 AM) How is that? Its a primary, not a caucus, so the only complicating factor I can see is the regionality (delegates assigned on regions of the state). It's a primary and a caucus.
