TPM: Please do your job to moderate this forum and remove this racist bafoon. I understand a person's right to speech, but inaction on this patently offensive speech is tacit approval. I know a lot of inane things transpire on these pages, but racist trash talk is unacceptable.
Is it feasible to keep a running tab of select user_names and the offending comments that resulted in banning from this site? Perhaps as a reference link on the side bar? That way we can better understand the standard for obscene comments and self-regulate ourselves to ignore these jerks.

I know better than to reply, but I cannot resist myself...
I actually considered endorsing Obama last night, thinking, well, compared to most politicians he's not that bad, probably not dumb, and maybe even up to the job....
But wait! He seems open minded but, dammit, the evidence is simply overwhelming to any reasonable mind....
Sorry, Obama's not proven and definitely not ready.
Is he saying sorry to himself? To us? Why to us, if he was the one on the cusp of 'endorsing.' If its just for himself, then why f*ing post? What a loser.
If only...IF ONLY..Obama had proven himself. Damn. Oh well, nothing to see this election cycle. Move on, folks.

Nice redirect at the end. Good job, and nothing a little Tim Kaine couldn't help with on the Obama ticket- Kaine being an ex-missionary.

Ok, i'm familiar with the census figures, but she's conflating 'rural' areas with her favorable demographic groups, when they aren't synonymous. Again, this whole thing is flaky. As flaky as that 'open letter' to Obama or most of her other public gestures.

It seems like one possible solution is that Hillary suspends her campaign in good faith understanding that Obama is the presumptive nominee. Let Obama do his magic, and if after a month or so examine the full picture again. If something proves to be seriously lacking after Obama has had a chance to 'prove' himself and spread his own wings, then she can remake her case before the convention. If Obama appears to be the front edge of a blue wave, though, then she must accept that reality and support the nominee.
Blue Wave, '08

One obvious fallacy is that, her wins in "tough districts" only proves that she was more preferred to Obama. It leaves untested the thesis that Obama may still win these districts or that Obama may open up other districts that she cannot. Since this is essentially a coat-tails argument, the counter argument hasn't been discussed: How many other districts do we lose by having Hillary on the ticket.
These districts are heavily rural. Half of them are more than 40% rural.
Can someone tell me how a distric's 'ruralness' is measured? Number of bitter gun owners? Number of combines in the field and silos on the horizon?
Otherwise, the whole thing looks like another case of throwing anything out there and seeing what sticks. I'd be shocked if this 'sticks.'

I think the Obama campaign should print out this post and frame it on the wall. I bet they're rolling on the floor over at camp Obama.
Well played, Hillary.
