QUOTE(Reddy @ Dec 27, 2007 -> 12:01 PM) Edwards is not the Iowa Ralph Nader. As far as selecting the next Dem nominee he is. He may win Iowa but that's all he'll win. He has no chance to match Clinton after Iowa and everyone knows that. I don't particularly dislike him as a candidate but I honestly don't think he has what it takes to go all the way.

Obama's closing argument in Iowa. I don't know how you don't feel inspired reading this.

What is wrong with the human race? This is depressing.

Edwards is the Ralph Nader of Iowa. Could spoil it for Obama and has no chance to take it all the way.

Snatched from a blog: Let's see them attack the Foreign Policy Cred of Reagan's Secretary of the Navy. Webb graduated from the Naval Academy in l968, receiving the Superintendent's Commendation for outstanding leadership contributions while a midshipman, and subsequently chose a commission in the Marine Corps. First in his class of 243 at the Marine Corps Officers' Basic School in Quantico, Virginia, Webb served with the Fifth Marine Regiment in Vietnam, where as a rifle platoon and company commander in the infamous An Hoa Basin west of Danang he was awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star Medal, two Bronze Star Medals, and two Purple Hearts. He later served as a platoon commander and as an instructor in tactics and weapons at Marine Corps Officer Candidates School, and then as a member of the Secretary of the Navy's immediate staff. Senator Jim Webb Webb received his J.D. at Georgetown University Law Center in 1975. He served in the U.S. Congress as counsel to the House Committee on Veterans Affairs from 1977 to 1981. In 1982, he first proposed, then led the fight for, including an African American soldier in the memorial statue that now graces the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall. In 1984, he was appointed the inaugural Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs. In 1987, he became the first Naval Academy graduate in history to serve in the military and then become Secretary of the Navy. In addition to Webb's public service, he enjoyed a long career as a writer. He taught literature at the Naval Academy as their first visiting writer, has traveled worldwide as a journalist, and earned an Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for his PBS coverage of the U.S. Marines in Beirut. In 2004, Webb went into Afghanistan as a journalist, embedded with the U.S. military. He speaks Vietnamese and has done extensive pro bono work with the Vietnamese community dating from the late l970's. Senator Jim Webb Jim Webb now serves as the junior Senator from Virginia. He is also an original co-sponsor of bills pertaining to stronger ethics rules, prescription drug pricing negotiations, the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, stem cell research, energy/global warming, college affordability and rebuilding the military.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 21, 2007 -> 08:45 AM) An Obama-Richardson ticket would be better than either party has offered since Reagan term 1. I agree. I also thing an Obama/Webb ticket would be formidable.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 20, 2007 -> 05:07 PM) He's going to endorse Clinton. Hmm. Maybe not?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 20, 2007 -> 05:07 PM) He's going to endorse Clinton. I think you're right.

QUOTE(G&T @ Dec 19, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) I used to think DJ was getting better, but I don't know anymore. I don't think he brings anything interesting to the broadcast to actually tell fans something about the game. I think both Hawk and DJ are sounding worse because the team is so crappy. It's hard to be excited to talk about a bad team for 3 hours straight. We were spoiled by our magical season in 2005. It probably wouldn't have mattered who was in the booth that year and we would have liked them. Contrast that to today and we as fans are more annoyed as we watch this team and then become more critical of the play by play.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Dec 19, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) I would trade the entire broadcast team for Stoney, and could hire anyone to sit with him and it would be better than the product we have today. Throw in Gilbert Gottfried for all I care. Just give me Stoney!

Richardson with a blog on Huffington Post today.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Dec 19, 2007 -> 02:38 PM) I just wanted to know. Its something I never thought of before. So is Christmas celebrated in the Middle East or is it not that big of a deal? Christians in the middle east would celebrate Christmas. Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, etc in the middle east will most likely not celebrate.

Filmmaker Ken burns picks Obama.

I think it's too late for Paul to do anything in Iowa. After Friday most people won't be thinking about politics until after the New Year.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 18, 2007 -> 11:27 AM) Catholic League President Bill Donahue slams Huckabee for appearing to use a cross in his Christmas ad. Sometimes I wonder if we are electing a pope.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 17, 2007 -> 06:42 PM) The Clinton's are getting desperate. They're sending out the dogs (husband Bill, Bill Shaheen, and Sen. Bob Kerrey) then when the dogs get back they reprimand them publicly, but giving them treats once they get inside. I am obviously on the Obama bandwagon now but my gosh, you'd think Karl Rove is part of the Clinton campaign. They disgust me.

Can it get more obvious that the Hillary campaign is losing steam? http://tinyurl.com/25tsev

I'm sure people will still bash him... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22248699/

Most of the debate was very civil. I think everyone was playing it safe since this is the last debate before Iowa.

How do you stop Hillary in mid-cackle? See what Obama said.

Happy Birthday Mike! (in garbled and drunken Harry Caray voice)

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) *dons tinfoil hat* If I didn't know better, I'd say this was a back door way of painting Obama as the bad stereotype of a black male. /tinfoil I just don't see how these negative attacks will help her. He admitted to drug use many years ago in his first book. Americans like to hear the truth and he hasn't lied about it or tried to cover it up.

Clinton campaign is in complete desperation mode. This should guarantee her 3rd place finish in Iowa. http://tinyurl.com/2foztl
