The buzz around Barack is happening too early and he realizes this, as evidenced in his own comments at last week's NH book signing, town-hall thing. Or his Bears' pregame "announcement"... His flame could burn bright and brief, at least for the 08 contest. I do like his message though: amongst other things, the audacious hope that a campaign can be fought with a respect for the opponent. I just wonder if he'll still walk on water when he realizes he has to go negative, either as a first strike, or in retaliation? If he joins up with McCain, they could both ignore whoever the opponents wind up being. If it does wind up being he and Hillary in a contest for Dem nominee, he won't need to "go negative" - the GOP and everyone else to the right of, oh, say, Michael Moore will do it for him. And speaking of idiots, Hillary and the Clintonistas seem to be right on schedule to **** up Hillary's chances by continuing to do what they do - attempting to rat**** _anyone_, including the voters, that they see as "in the way." If he's the Dem nominee, his objective negatives (no real experience, no real record at any level - no "yardstick"), combined with subjective negatives (he's a Dem, he's too black, he's not black enough, he's not "liberal"/"conservative" enough, he's too "liberal"/ "conservative," he's too young, etc.), will likely combine to get him defeated THIS TIME if the GOP puts up anyone short of maybe Pat Robertson. If it's McCain, Obama's done. They are both, as pols go, good men, but McCain has the name and the record, and if he goes (really) negative on McCain, he's _really_ done. IMO, though, if they are steering their own ships, neither would go unduly (and subjectively) negative on the other. If he's smart, whether he joins McCain or not, he will take a page from his playbook: don't go (subjectively) negative _against anyone_ and be thought of as one of the "good guys" by the entire center. And anyone wanna bet that Hillary (or her campaign) will bring up his skin color at least once? R |

It appears DeLay thinks Hillary will be elected in 2008 and will tab Obama as her veep: http://www.freemarketnews.com/WorldNews.asp?nid=28995 Of course he goes on to blame it on the media working in concert with a "liberal coalition" run by Carville, Blumenthal, Begala and Ickes. He also says Obama has the record of a "leftist-Marxist". Chuck Vance (of course this could all just be scare tactics on his part) |

DeLay is a crooked little turd who got a well-deserved flush down the drain.

Whoda thunk DeLay could imagine something so original? Of course he goes on to blame it on the media working in concert with a "liberal coalition" run by Carville, Blumenthal, Begala and Ickes. He also says Obama has the record of a "leftist-Marxist". Well, to give credit where it's due, he's right about that - Obama's record as an elected US legislator is very similar to that of Karl Marx...or Henry VIII... Chuck Vance (of course this could all just be scare tactics on his part) Yeah, he's scared his silly-assed little blog managed to con the only 100 suckers out of 52 bucks it'll ever be able to con...

Ted Kennedy is such a class act too! |

Op Ted Kennedy did a pretty good job on his own. As Mr. Tim Johnson pointed out to me earlier. Obama needs a few more years under his belt. Agreed. I'd also like to know how far back his family ties to Saddam Hussein go? Obama just barely is a citizen, I might add: Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, August 4, 1961 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama Hawaii Statehood: August 21, 1959 http://www.hawaiischoolreports.com/h.../statehood.htm Op |
