Oh-eight (D): 'Just like that, he's gone'

Lyn, MD — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 13:32:45 GMT

The man truely has the ability to unite this country.

From the National review online article above, the entire article is worth reading:

Strough, a self-described “independent,” said she likes Obama because he seems like a candidate who can help the middle class, which she says hasn’t fared well under the Bush administration. She says that after working in public housing in Sioux City, she’s convinced that Bush has cut too much funding for social programs. Despite his campaign’s focus on poverty, John Edwards seems insincere to her. Obama, she said, seems “more down to earth.”

A number of Republicans in the state of Iowa apparently feel the same way. Last month, Obama came in third behind Romney and Giuliani in a University of Iowa poll that asked registered Republicans to name their preferred general election candidate. “What we’re seeing at this early stage, among people looking forward to the November 2008 election,” the pollster told Campaigns & Elections, “is that Obama is the Democrat Republicans are most likely to vote for.”

But what if he doesn’t get the nomination? I put this question to Stephanie Frederick. She says, “I know one thing for sure: I will do anything not to have Hillary Clinton in office.”

“I know that sounds terrible, but she’s just not somebody I have a whole lot of respect for, and I really think it would be a disservice to our country to have her in office,” Frederick says. “I think she lacks morals. Totally.”

When I mention Hillary Clinton at Hutch’s Cafe, Heidi and Vicki react as if I’ve uttered the name Voldemort. The prospect of another Clinton administration seems merely to disgust Vicki, but Heidi is positively terrified. “God forbid,” she says, looking around the tiny room as if for hidden cameras. “There’s nothing that woman won’t do.”

"How quick will Clinton's opponents begin to compare Norman Hsu's fugitive status with one-time fugitive Marc Rich?" Less than 2 sentences, by my estimation, if First Read is any indication. Strangely, the NYT article, neither makes that tenuous connection, or mentions his name.

Here are some folks who wish that they could photo-shop, Norman's many photo-ops.

'the most surprising convert from a 50-attendee coffee for Obama was the host herself. "'I've always been a Rush Limbaugh listener,' Stephanie Frederick says. ..., "A lot of what he had to say really made a lot of sense to me.'"

The man who can bring us all together has a 45% UNFAVORABLE rating. The man who can bring us all together isn't even the most popular in his own party.

("Clinton is viewed favorably by 81% of Democrats and unfavorably by 17%. Obama is viewed favorably by 66% of those in his party, unfavorably by 28%. Forty-four percent (44%) have a Very Favorable opinion of Clinton while 31% say the same about Obama.")
http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/daily_presidential_tracking_poll__1

How can this be? The numbers MUST be wrong! He leads in focus groups (McCain won the Lutz/Fox focus for the repubs.), coffee shops, and in crowds he's drawn in the past, so take that MSM, polling firms and people who don't see the irrefutable truth that he is the only one who can bring us all together!

I can see an Obama/Paul unity ticket scoring a near unanimous victory over the forces of political (and other kinds of)reality, based on the opinions on this site. Or maybe they can run against each other and still bring us all together. It could happen.

Kinda dysfunctional, isn't it, Carrie ??

van: you've got NOTHING TO SAY and you take up so much space saying it !!

Norman Hus is a 'HillRaiser' !!
He's not a DemRaiser, he's not a BidenRaiser,
He's a 'HillRaiser'

Mark Rich WASN'T PARDONED BY THE DEMOCRATS !!
He was pardoned by Bill Clinton AFTER his wife made campaign contributions !!

Frank Furter, Democrats for REAL change — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 17:12:28 GMT

Sierra: Just this weekend Kathleen Willey house was broken into and only a manuscript of the Clinton years adn yes of he groping her in the oval office was taken. She is ready to release her book on Bill Clinton and Hillary in November. Remember she was accosted by "friends of Clinton" NOT to testify or plead the 5th in the trial over Paula Jones. Hillary has used the IRS in auditing people that turn against her..Google 'Clinton Rapes" and click on the first tag, I doubt you will see this because of the censorship at MSNBC. I still feel very strongly that Obama is our best choice, there's too much out there on the Clintons for the republicians to use We will see a lot more on Obama now that Oprah is onboard.

Read More: Breaking Politics News, Hillary Rodham Clinton

In a story that could likely go under the radar, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton will be in court tomorrow (Sept. 7)...well, in a manner of speaking. More precisely, a California appeals court is being asked to reinstate her as a defendant in a suit. Paul v. Clinton features Mr. Peter Paul, a Hollywood-businessman-turned-bitter-campaign-contributor (see his site here) against the Senator, Mr. Clinton and several members of the Senator's campaign. Mr. Paul is being represented in his suit by the United States Justice Foundation.

The bare-bone facts surrounding the case have to do with Mr. Paul's agreement to help raise money for Clinton's Senate campaign in 2000 (see his amended legal complaint for all the details here). Mr. Paul was the executive producer of the "Hollywood Tribute," a star-studded farewell dinner and concert tribute for Mr. Clinton that raised funds for Senator Clinton's campaign in 2000. Paul claims to have contributed at least $1.9 million to underwrite event expenses (which is considered "soft money" and provides a way candidates can get around the $2,000 "hard money" or direct contribution limit). In exchange for his donation, Mr. Clinton was apparently going to work for Mr. Paul and his companies as a rainmaker for one year. Mr. Paul's suit claims that Mr. Clinton committed fraud by agreeing to work but never really intending to do so, and that Senator Clinton was aware of this arrangement (and thus should be liable as a "conspirator").

Pat, Huntington, NY / sorry pat but hillary is most corrupt, you are making a baseless accusation if you say she isn't, everyone knows she's been as corrupt as they come for years, look at her past it is nothing but one criminal act after another, some people just choose to look the other way, most don't, the media loves her, maybe because she owns it, don't put hillary on a pedestal when she actually belongs behind bars, all you chicks on the east coast push her, just because of the female dealyo, keep her in new york

Hmm. Biden is going to Anbar. He had better watch out. According to General Charles Schumer[DSM DSM,with Oak Leaves,Meritorious Service,Bronze Star,Legion of Merit],Anbar is a ''failure''..Sorry,wrong general. That would be Petraeus,who was also recently seen having lunch with soldiers in Schumers ''failed''Anbar.

Rufus Gibbons, DC — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 19:21:31 GMT

I have a couple of candidates that I favor one doesn't seem to have a chance and as I have said before on this blog I will vote for the nominee. If you stay home because your favorite did not get the nomination you are giving 2 votes to the republicans. I would probably switch my allegiance to anyone who would promise to eliminate the presidential pension. The pension was started because Harry Truman left the white house with less money than he went in with, as I recall at the time it was $50k per annum. We got a bargain pension wise with Reagan because he didn't live long. Bush who did more harm than good will be feeding at the public trough for many more years.

None of you know if Clinton is corrupt or not. YOu have no proof either way. So your both being naive in the way you think you understand someone you don't really know.

Voting on someone's agenda, experinces, and ability to make things happen seem to be the only logical idea. Right now, Im liking Joe Biden, but I'm not going to make up my mind and shoot my mouth of 5 months before an election.

Im just paying close attention to ideas the canidates present. And defenitly not listening to the news, if you can really even call it that anymore.

Josh McDonald, Camarillo, Ca — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 21:07:56 GMT

Rufus, if we just vote for the same person all the time, we get the same nothing happening. I lean left, but I would rather see conservative idea's being tried out in this country, than putting the same people in office who keep doing the same things with the same results. Thats not a shot at Hillary, but if she turns out to be of the same nothing we've had since Nixon, then vote for somebody different cause it doesn't matter who wins between all the previous presidents we've had, inability has been their legecy. Baby Boomers, do something different, Vote for someone who will actually change something. Please, your kids hate you for a reason.
