  1. Rev Wright is more like the Glenn Close character; Obama used him to get what he wanted (connections in the black community in Chicago), then tried to dump him when his true feelings became known, but Wright wasn't willing to go quietly into the night and acted like a lover scorned.
  2. Most of the aid we would be sending them was probably made in China anyways, so why not cut out the middleman and let them keep what they would be shipping to us.
  3. Some people in Syracuse can't stand the Bills because the are the featured team on CBS games, and if they like another AFC team it prevents them from seeing them, especially the Jets. Teams I root against outside AFC East: NFL: Giants, Cowboys, Steelers, Colts, Broncos. NHL: Maple Leafs, Senators, Canadiens, Bruins, Flyers, Islanders, Hurricanes, Red Wings, Flames, Stars. MLB: Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Rangers. NBA: Lakers, Celtics. College: Notre Dame, North Carolina, Duke, UCLA.
  4. I think young Locke knew what items to choose, but intentionally picked the wrong one because for whatever reason (scared, sensed evil), he didn't want to be identified as the chosen one.
  5. Yes. He's not for universal healthcare, Hillary and Edwards are. Now we vote based on who's more interesting? What's Sanjaya doing, maybe you could vote for him. Yeah, because only people from poor backgrounds can help other poor. Good thing Roosevelt only had 4 terms, that rich snob did nothing for the poor and unemployed. This is the most laughable statement.
  6. I had a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan that was fine, never had transmission problems, and anything else was covered by my bumper to bumper extended warranty. Traded it in last year for a used Chrysler certified 2006 Town and Country, and have yet to have to take it in for any work after 30k miles.
  7. "May day, May day, May day" "Miami has the oranges, but Buffalo has The Juice"
  8. You're suprised that she has political baggage, where have you been? Women are voting for her because they believe she will best promote policies on the issues they care about; universal healthcare, the economy, education, and a strong and sound foreign policy. What policies does Obama offer that are so much better for blacks than what Hillary offers that would convince 90+% to vote for him? I never said an ethnic group voting in the general election is a bad thing, what's going to hurt him is his association with Rev Wright and his extreme views, which he only repudiated after it became a political liablity, but too late to dismiss in a general election where it will be exploited by the Republicans.
  9. I would not be opposed to the Democrat president appointing him to head the Veterans Administration.
  10. Race trumps any of those more generic advantages in the primaries. She also had more baggage and negative impressions from being scrutinized and vetted over the past 2 decades, so it works both ways. Obama's race advantage in the primaries will turn into a disadvantage in the general election, especially since we know alot more about his attitudes and associations than we did when the primaries started and the media gave him a pass.
  11. Neither of them can get the required amount of pledged delegates, but that doesn't mean FL and MI should be dismissed. Whoever wins the nomination will only reach 2025 with the addition of superdelegates. Obama supporters have this false impression that the person with the most delegates wins, which isn't true. It's whoever gets to 2025, and if neither gets to that number after the first ballot at the convention, then they keep revoting until enough delegates get behind one candidate to get to 2025.
  12. You're delusional if you think he's getting 90+% of the black vote because of his views on issues. People can vote for whatever reason they want, but at least admit the obvious.
  13. Financing was available, private donations were lined up to pay for both revotes. The governors were willing to do it, but they wanted both candidates to agree to it. Clinton did, Obama wouldn't. Bottom line is Obama didn't want the votes to count, and didn't want a revote, because he knew he would lose in either situation. So much for listening to the will of the people.
  14. If Obama was white, he would have been out of the race a long time ago. The majority of the black vote would have backed Clinton and/or Edwards.
  15. I'd rather be bitter than Wright. Vote Republican - We only support Welfare in Iraq.
  16. Hey, I don't like the Democrat rules either, this whole process of having different rules to apportion delegates in different states is stupid, but the bottom line is that the party allows superdelegates to support whoever they want for whatever reason. So until someone has 2025 total delegates, nobody has won, and the campaign goes on.
  17. I realize it's improbable, but not impossible. So until he gets to 2025 or she concedes, I'll continue to support her.
  18. I find the strangest part being that people actually watch TWC long enough to know the personalities. Once they flash the 5-7 day forecast for your area, what else do you need to know?
  19. If they're lesbians, you don't have to make them kiss. You'd learn that if you listened to Stern.
  20. True, it's because he's a black Democrat.
  21. "I told you so" - Hillary 11/05/08
  22. Once again a woman gets referred to in derogatory sexist terms, but imagine the uproar if someone referred to Obama as a "WBN" (I won't spell it out for you because it's just as bad).
  23. First, the phrase "steal his nomination" is thrown around by Obama supporters and is false. You can't steal what someone never had. And if he has the nomination after the delegates are counted at the convention and he reached 2025 then it's over and it can't be stolen. The superdelegates are part of the nomination process, and can vote based on whatever criteria they choose. So count all the popular votes, and then the superdelegates can support whoever they think has the best chance of retaining and increasing those popular votes in order to win the electoral college, especially in swing states. Who they can get in Ohio or Florida is much more important than who they can get in Utah or South Carolina. But it's up to the superdelegates to use their own criteria.
  24. She's the stronger general election candidate. She attracts more of the moderates and Reagan Democrats that may otherwise vote for McCain, has consistantly won more white votes than Obama since February, and has won more votes in the critical swing states. How's Obama going to attract those votes in the general election when he can't even do it in the primary? I doubt many black voters are going to vote for McCain.
  25. And along with Pennsylvania, that is the main reason why superdelegates should pick the stronger candidate to win the electoral college; Hillary.
