You have some strange rules in red West Texas. Here in Central Texas we ask for whichever ballot we want when we go to vote. You can pick either one. We don't register as a Democrat or a Republican either. The rule is that if you want to participate in the Democratic caucus, you must have voted in the Democratic Primary. No other rules pertain.

It took our precinct more than an hour to get people signed up. Our caucus didn't end until 11PM.

Anybody who thought we were in for a quick and easy exit from Iraq with either of the remaining Democratic candidates is quite naive.

"this time she is risking the hopes, and aspirations of the Democratic Party and the women who have placed their hopes and aspirations in her."
What in the heck are you talking about? We women will now lose all hope? You make no sense. I want her to win because she will make a better President than Obama. But my hope will be ok if she quits, but I will lose it if she stays in the race? Huh?

"I believe she deserves to be opposed by Democrats with as much voracity as she has shown towards Democrats"

Guess what? Hillary is getting more Democrats to vote for her than Obama is.

They are not correcting their story. They are continuing to stand by the story.

CTV is sticking by their story FWIW.

I have a functioning brain. I do not believe this was an email that went further than one staffer complaining to another staffer about the unfair treatment Clinton has been receiving. If Drudge received the email from the Clinton camp, he would have said so. He said he "obtained" it which means it probably wasn't someone in the campaign that forwarded it to him.

Exactly. I think his campaign handled this in the worst manner possible. He could have used it to buttress his claim to having a more positive engaging foreign policy, but instead chose to go in attack mode with the "shameful offensive fear-mongering" tactic. If they knew the photos were out there, and they've been in the gossip mags for a while, why were they not prepared for a response? People will start thinking that this is something he is ashamed of or needs to keep hidden.

And how do you know that this was SENT OUT by the Clinton campaign? Because Drudge said so?? Is that it?? You have a very low threshold for evidence here.

The National Examiner ran this photo in their Feb. 4th edition magazine. Drudge said he "OBTAINED" an email from a Clinton staffer. He DID NOT say he "RECEIVED" an email from a Clinton staffer. I know when I get an email, I receive it. I don't obtain it. This suggests that he got it in a rather roundabout way, no???

So he "OBTAINED" and email where one staffer was commenting to another "Wouldn't we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC?"

I can easily imagine one staffer complaining to another about the unfair press coverage she has received. Doesn't mean they were pushing this story externally. In fact, Drudge's choice of words indicates that this did not happen.

Here's Tavis Smiley:

"“There’s all this talk of hater, sellout and traitor,” Smiley said to me in a telephone interview. Smiley even mentioned getting death threats, but wouldn’t elaborate. He said his office has been flooded with angry e-mails. “I have family in Indianapolis. They are harassing my momma, harassing my brother. It’s getting to be crazy,” Smiley said."
