not a dime's worth of difference from Obama. The candidate that was different, Obamaniacs couldn't quit screaming and throwing their panties at the stage long enough to listen to. 2000, they stole the election. In 04, they back stabbed Dean so that Kerry could run away before the finals votes were even counted. In 08, we have two corporatists and are going to get screwed again. Because her kids were geeked on Obama, Carolina endorsed him and gave her kids a President as a gift. This country and the people in it get what they ask for and what they deserve. It is just too bad that we all have to go down with them.
Could it be that Shuster has been on too many blogs and simply used "pimping" in that way? It was a mistake, but Tweety is the worst. I respect Hillary for protecting her daughter, but I would have preferred to see Chelsea herself step up and knock him down. Kerry's daughters were out there, and I heard no comments about pimping. I think the media can't wait to get back to the 90s.

Michigan's political leaders were disappointed not to be added to the first four but went along, expecting that other states would abide by the new calendar. When the dates started to shift -- and particularly when Gardner said New Hampshire would move up -- they considered the deal broken.
Levin and Debbie Dingell took their case to DNC Chairman Howard Dean last month, complaining that he was standing by silently as New Hampshire broke its promise. They asked Dean to urge Democrats not to campaign there.
"Someone," the two wrote, "has to take on New Hampshire's transparent effort to violate the DNC rules and to maintain its privileged position."
Instead, the DNC warned Michigan that any delegates chosen Jan. 15 would not be seated at next summer's convention in Denver, the same punishment that Florida Democrats are suing the party over. Rules and schedules are essential, one DNC official said, to ensure "fairness and predictability."
Of all the audacity! Imagine Michigan forgetting it proper place. How dare WE challenge the Party and the privileged.
This whole race thing is a two way street, and I think Oprah and Obama actually started it. If anyone thought that Bill Clinton, the "first black president" was going to let Oprah and Obama lay claim to MLK, they are nuts. The irony of this whole debacle is that MLK son's endorsed Edwards.
I hope he keeps it up. The more he gets identified as a minority candidate, the more he'll get marginalized. Part of his original appeal, besides his snake oil tongue, was his all American appeal. I can't believe I started this season as an anyone but Hillary and ended up swearing to vote for her before I'd ever cast a vote for Obama. It is his supporters. They're awful.
His campaign is constantly talking about color. With blacks, they should vote for him because he is black. Anything they don't like is racist against him. I'm sick of both him and Hillary.
Sexism is not my issue. The economy, jobs, globalization, and the environment are the key points. If that isn't taken care of, women and men will have nothing to compete for, unless it's goats. IF my choice was between the first female and the first black, I would vote for the first female. But I'm not interested in setting a Guiness World record, I'm interested in an economic future for my grandkids. Money may not buy happiness, but it sure helps.
Next, it will be "Oh, just the <u>thought</u> This is all so junior high school, I don't know where to begin.
PS: Elizabeth would have kicked his ass.
As a female, I think the female blogger needs to apologize for making a mountain out of a molehill. I think you need to apologize for the melodrama, "female blogger reaches breaking point". I think the world needs to apologize for turning everything into an issue of political incorrectness for which someone is required to apologize.
If your/her support for Edwards was based on something so shallow that this is enough to get your shorts into such a huge knot, I can't even begin to imagine what criteria you used to pick your candidate.
I wish everybody would just quit the nitpicking of everybody to death. This country has huge issues in which the Democratic Party is justly responsible. So while Rome burns, party partisans fiddle over fiddle faddle.
I wish everybody would get off their highhorses. Screams of racism, sexism, short & tall ism - I'm sick of it all. Hillary cried, I don't give a damn. Obama is glib, I don't give a damn. Edwards dared to say life is a bitch and then you die to Hillary, I don't give a damn.
Oprah played the race card, and Hillary played the gender card. It works both ways, and I'm tired of all the whining about who hurt whose feelings.
Edwards was ignored before there were polls. Hillary was the media's inevitable, the appointed. Obama was the media's annointed, the rock star. It was turned into a two man race way before there was a race.
The media is propaganda for four years until your guy wins. Then, they are unbiased and fair. What a crock. The media picked our candidates, and both are establishment insiders.

Can you help by a.) collaborating with this, b.) enlisting other state blogs in the Obama 17 state strategy, or c. both?
I'd much rather eliminate you.

basically endorsing Edwards over the first black President wife and the first black presidential candidate, it says a mouthful to black voters.
