there is a good question somewhere in here for folks who are obama fanatics. even though the post was about hillary.

it takes two to tango, or refuse to tango, the mating dance by the defeated candidate hillary can only be appreciated by the mating dance done by the winner, obama.

you say you want red meat..did it ever occur to you the obama campaign might, on some whim, try to make hillary aware of their desires for a theme, or for red meat or lack thereof?

there are always alternatives in the universe to the one prevailing rule of many: whatever a clinton does, it must have some undercurrent of some evilness and selfishness...this is the principle of the universe, for many.

has it occured to you that obama might want to run and win on his reputation and nickle, not be beholding to anyone, even a former dem president? there is nothing wrong with that. obama is striving for a newness, a change, recall? cutting harnesses with the prior mule train, that shows independence, i can respect that, even i.

damned if you do, damned if you do so in the manner that does not fit in with my myoptic view....

back to the point, there is a good question here- what the hell else is it you fine folks want? you want hillary to jump she jumps but not high enough you say. like lucy with the football, you keep snatching it away....oh no, not yet, no respect yet, lets carp and lets whine about it all.

why the hillary hysterics redeux? isnt that john mccain on the ballot isnt that enough for you to focus? what will it take? seriously

without incurring any damage, unless, of course, a disaster leaves the beaches of the southeast us oiled and slick.

during the primary it was said hillary would do anything to get elected, even hedge on certain positions for expediency sake...and obama was principled and was right about iraq from the start.

it does show independence on the part of obama, perhaps this will be more positive than negative, but nonetheless, hey sierra club, under the bus dudes

the fact he ran as a republican is due to the fact that is the only venue to election

he is certainly a republican, but his legislature mocks him he is a weak governor due to the peculiarities of the south carolina system of government, he is pretty much ignored by his state party, he is photogenic, but real influence and clout, nada, none, zilch

the convention, oh, that is what you guys want to change, not the politics, just the scenery and backdrop?

since when did having a womans name on the roll call with more than a tokening of votes, when did that become so passe?

did i miss a social movement here or something?

my governor, mark sanford, is a libertarian, not a republican, in all but name, and has spent several years spatting with his own, supposedly, gop legislature

mark sanford is a fraud, it is well known, mostly to south carolinians

well there is also the fist bump problem your list is hardly complete, if you left out the white references your list could have been shorter, which leads me to think you think there is a race problem for obama because of all his problems involving white people to a great extent quit looking for spiders & snakes in the basement, put on a happy face

gosh sounds like the crowds for american idol, oh, wait, nevermind, wrong extravaganza....

100,000 rapt, cheering, dreamily looking upon people with their hero, their manifestation of change we can be sated with orbs, it will make marvellous theatre...

this preoccupation with process and mass communication has nothing to do with any real issue, nor do i think we will get much on the issues in the acceptance speech, it will be well honed for the middle

perhaps it was clinton fatigue that eventually got to him

it is convenient to play nice to the clinton supporters now, what was ugly and hateful is useful now

sadly, hillary had nothing to do with rezko, wright or bitter, beyond having the press ask her about these, they were obama issues from day one

what josh marshall seems to think that if not for the mean old hillary and her quasi-racist bigot husband, those stories would have lain dormant until the fall

the sadness is that tpm used to make sense, now its just another obama spin zone, hear no evil see no evil and if it rears its ugly head call it racism evil, then all the little obama hooligans will dump on the poor sap who dares raise a voice
