Open Thread: Sealing the Deal
We've all found ourselves asking this question from time to time, privately, in our most solitary moments. Maybe some of us have found answers from which others might benefit. Let's have a real, frank, open dialogue here, now, as I think...more »

Enough About The Recommended List
I'm seeing way too much talk about posts not making the recommended list lately. To some degree the concerns have merit, as the rec list means more eyes seeing what you have to say. I understand that motivation and I...more »

She got our antipathy the old fashioned way: She earned it.
First, credit where credit is due, the title of this post was actually from a post by Larry Geater in this thread:http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/03/notes-on-ferraro-resignationre.php(I don't want to be accused of political plagiarism, but if Larry is interested in being one of my...more »

Miscalculating Mitt

As someone who grew up in Flint and was just there for the first time in a while last November, let me sincerely echo that sentiment with all my heart. If you flew over Flint in a helicopter tossing money out of each side for an hour, you'd hit somebody who needs it more often than not.
(And nothing says poverty tour quite like throwing bundles of money out of a helicopter right? That's a stupid image, but you know what I mean...)

I agree with you wholly and I went to their site and commented thusly:
As usual, most of the outraged are being outrageous. We started this process with an excellent batch of candidates. All along, the process has been to narrow it done to one candidate who would be the standard-bearer for our party and, with hope, faith, and hard work, for our country. Eventually, the field was narrowed to two candidates, BOTH OF WHOM are staunchly Pro-Choice. Now the race is at its end. One candidate will be moving forward as our leader. That candidate is Barack Obama. Do not let anyone shame you for making that realization. Do not let anyone claim to be a feminist while attempting to shame you for backing a candidate who happens to have a penis. Do not lose sight of the finish line: We need to elect a President who doesn't think Roberts and Alito and Scalia are oustanding, upstanding Supreme Court Justices.
I applaud your endorsement. Unlike many who have commented here in anger, you realized that the choice is no longer between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The choice is now between Barack Obama and John Dubya McCain. And that choice could not be more clear...

I don't see anything divisive about the quote you pulled. In fact, I support it 100%. That has been THE MAIN PROBLEM with Hillary's campaign for a lot of Democrats. She has shown no reservations about doing exactly what she has so long decried. It's sad, really. Pointing that fact out doesn't mean you're attacking Hillary; unless holding up a mirror in front of her face constitutes attacking her. To many of us, she has become what she claimed to be so stridently against...

I would tread lightly if I were you, Mikey. Anybody who comes here can click on your name and be instantly linked to the crap that has been spewing out of your keyboard over the last few days.
What's that old quote about "removing all doubt"?

I like this line of thinking. Let Bush run ALL their damned campaigns... (And I meant "damned" as a descriptor more than as a curse.)

Can I pile on? Even if you set aside whether or not she can win (which is a bit like talking about water but setting aside the Atlantic and Pacific oceans), of the NARAL affiliates listed as flipping out about this, the only state that hasn't already held a primary is Oregon! Are the other states still weighing John Dubya McCain as a possible endorsee?

I'd rather he offered the VEEP spot to Joe Lieberman and got that turncoat bastard out of the Senate...
Put me down in the "Hell no!" column. No Rendell. No Bayh. No Clinton. No Clinton Banner. She made it as far as the conference finals. Five more times and that makes her the Detroit Pistons. She should hold her head up and walk back into the U.S. Senate with grace and dignity and try to repair some of the race-baiting and dog whistling damage she's done. Or doesn't she have any hard-working, non-white American constituents in New York to represent?
