Remember How McCain Slammed Obama for wanting to talk to our enemies ...
Turns out he was advocating the same thing just a few years ago. With Hamas, no less (you know, the group whose 'endorsement' is the kiss of death).http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/15/exclusive-video-mccain-wa_n_102031.html This 'maverick' (Mr. McCain) has flip flopped on almost every single issue...more »

Why Edwards won't endorse Hillary Clinton before North Carolina
<personal opinion>He would love to ... (which is why his wife is stumping for her), but he doesn't want to endorse her but have her still lose North Carolina. That would make him look very ineffectual for a high-powered endorser.So expect...more »

I won't reply with the snarky comment bouncing around in my head right now except to point out that I was referring to HOW it would go down ... not whether it would.

I do actually think this is relevant, because it directly cuts against her claim that she is a woman of the people.
I mean ... think about it ... she shoots guns, knocks back beers and shots, but can't work a gas pump or a coffee machine?
Give me a break.
I'm and elitist and I know how to work a gas pump ... (not so sure about the coffee machine though)Posted at May 1, 2008 4:59 PM in response to Hillary flubs photo op at the gas pump

You know ... I saw that yesterday and was very disappointed in Matthews. The guy goes with the wind ... one moment Obama is Jesus ... the next Hillary Clinton is a genius political campaigner who looks destined to beat Obama.
I initially started watching him after I thought John Stewart treated him badly on his show (ardent Daily Show fan). but now I understand.
Can someone recommend a decent news show other than matthews. I watch the two Russert shows both those are weekly only. I started watching "News Hour with Jim Lehrer" and that seems really good so far.
