Please, Alaska, vote Dem. That will be two more congressmen not willing to decimate ANWAR.

Oooh boy, this is going to be fun! McCain's coming out of the gate pretty hard and fast, but I feel like he's going to change his tone on this rhetoric at least four more times.

And FWIW, Greg, I am excited that the McC campaign has you in on their conference calls. This is why we come to TPM. Now we get to hear the bullshit straight from the horse's mouth.

Exactly. As a female, I have been nothing but embarrassed by the antics of these supposed "feminists". Gloria Steinm, Geraldine Ferrarro Emily's List and all those crying sexism really do need to sit the eff down. This is the same thing that the local NARAL chapters are doing after the national group endorsed Obama yesterday.

Their actions throughout the campaign, much like Bill Clinton's, has left a tarnished mark on the history books.

Obama did in fact predict, after his 5/6 NC win and IN split, that he'd get the majority of pledged delegates on 5/20. The man has a cabal of geniuses working on his campaign.

Add this to the very long list of reasons why Obama is an amazing leader.

McCain is not only impotent he has zero fundraising ability. He is in desperate need of those 527's.

Awesome thread.

My vote for weirdest:
The 2/26 debate and right out of the gate Clinton says, quote: “Well, could I just point out that, in the last several debates, I seem to get the first question all the time? And I don’t mind, you know, I’ll be happy to field them, but I do find it curious. And if anybody saw Saturday Night Live, you know, maybe we should ask Barack if he’s comfortable and needs another pillow.”

I don't know if Clinton's "Shame on You, Barack Obama, Meet Me In Ohio" was one of my best, worst or weirdest. I laugh my ass off every time: "enough with the speeches and the big rallies" and corresponding arm levels. If you care to relive the moment start at about 3:11 -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_X-RoRghAY

So many bests, but another best is when Obama clean clocked Hillary during the Potomac Primaries. That was sweet, sweet victory.

Me too (jeez, I'm doing a lot of "me too's" in this thread!). He was saying it in a joking way, but then it got spun as anti-female.

Yes, the who let the dogs out was really distressing to me on so many levels!
