if its true - why not report it?  that said - im not saying that my diary will be the story of the day - but rather who the pick will be.

CAchemist: I've been voting for 40 years. Always Democrat. Called for Dems, fundraised, contributed my own $, served in party functionary roles, etc. Certainly, you must have been a bit overwrought to cast aspersions on someone because they "dissent?!?! If I misread or misunderstood your tone, I'm sorry. But...for me (who marched in '68 and then voted my first presidential vote for Humphrey and who now as a Denverite will be in the Pepsi Center as a guest one night of the DNC and also attending the Invesco Thursday speech) no political party is worth being told to hush up or be quiet for. Surely, we all know as Democrats that discussion and dissent and forward progress are all part of the same parcel. Lighten up; its ok. Another comment: Having been an occasional participant here, I sense some change toward conformity and a measure of intolerance growing here. In the long run, liberals are going to have to trust each other again. My perspective only.

for not vetting hillary.

They start with the Clinton Library.

Hi! I'm an Obama supporter, who was an Edwards supporter convinced Clinton was going to win anyway -- and I would have cheerfully voted for her.

end disclaimer.

There are plenty of people who have those angry diaries all prepared and the Republicans couldn't be happier. Our reaction to this one article shows how "jumpy" we are. Cheers to the diarist. REC

Excellent.

Good catch Al.

Come on people, haven't you been watching the Republic machine for years?

This is what they do, they CAN'T Win on issues, so they play death and destruction games.

Just look at the timing of this article.

It stinks to high heaven, but, if your anger is already palpable, or soon will be, your logic is going to be pushed down a bit in the stack....

in my v. last comment to you...  you are a suspect for sockpuppeting my name.  really - it was a super dumb move since you kind of proved that you are what spaceman states you are.  especially since you only disclosed this when i called you out on it.  weird weird intertube stalking....

I agree.

The Obama campaign is too politically smart to miss such an important caveat.  This is clearly some pandering to the disunity bunch.  They're hoping this will replace the story of the day which has taken hold famously.

From dailykos:

White House Contenders Trade Economic Attacks After McCain Home Gaffe (ABC)

McCain said that he wasn't sure of how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own

Obama doesn't let up on McCain's homes (MSNBC)

In nearly every speech in recent days, he has argued that McCain doesn't get what ordinary American are facing, reminding people of McCain advisor Phil Gramm's comment about America being a "nation of whiners" and about McCain's Saddleback quip defining rich as an income of $5 million.

It's true; McCain has seven homes in five cities and three states (Chicago Sun-Times)

In an interview with Adam Nagourney of the New York Times, Obama strategist David Axelrod suggested McCain's campaign can't succeed by portraying Obama as out-of-touch because it reeks of hypocrisy.

Well, looks like the Politico is eager to take the place of the late not very lamented traitor Boob No-facts.

Anyone who thinks a gifted politician like Obama would pick Hillary is mad.

We don't need her.  We don't need the baggage.

It's amazing how much the Republicans have warmed up to Hillary Clinton since Super-Duper Tuesday.  It's all coincidence, of course.

Absolutely.  That's why I was pissed off at people who were getting on her case for saying that she'd love to be the VP; had she not said that, it would have been taking as a sign of no confidence.

As is, you still hear nutcases say that they somehow know that she wants nothing to do with this "sinking ship".

when people always talk about vetting of obama and the clintons, i wonder if people think they were on a suicide pact and keeping some big dark secret on purpose....

which is why the edwards is so so shocking.

"if he weren't clean, he wouldn't have run in the first place."

Sure stopped John Edwards didn't it.  If you want to be president nothing will stop you. That comment was Silly.

and a Clinton hater and one who just hates Clinton supporters?

these guys are at creating divisions in this party; I'll give them credit, the pubs know what they are doing.  The culmination of their weeklong efforts led to this story.

Obama should have gotten her to go Sherman earlier in the summer; he set his own trap for the GOP to exploit.

Like I said, if it's not true, someone should deny it.

That was tax records. It wasn't "all records."

We're talking about vetting by the Obama campaign. That would entail complete disclosure of everything Clinton. There's no way that could happen since Bill doesn't want his business and library dealings scrutinized.

So Obama couldn't even vet TheClintons, much less ask her to be his VP unvetted.

Well that's right Bob. If Senator Clinton isn't picked it could be that Bill has something we didn't know about. We don't know! Look at Edwards. I thought he was a wonderful guy?

yeah some bullshit campaign donor crap, but with Bill there is always some crazy donor fiasco.  I think these would have been on the front page of every paper after the convention if she won the nomination or was picked for VP

Family infighting makes great tv/drama.

The question will be, is it really infighting. Repugs, who love the kitchen sink, would again tweak the Clinton supporters who have not come back into the party. Hillary would have to say something about it. It the phrase (my brother's commercial about my opponent" is somewhere in there (especially about the Obama being referred to as "my opponent") then we are in for some trouble.
