Hillary Rising…

Things are really looking up for the comeback woman, Hillary Clinton. The latest CNN headline reads, “Poll says McCain should fear Clinton.” The poll shows that Clinton beats McCain by 9 points, but in an Obama McCain matchup, it’s a statistical tie. No wonder Karl Rove is dishing out the advice to Obama on how to beat Clinton…

Think the media isn’t sexist?

It’s undeniable. It’s disgusting. It’s shameful.

Seat Florida’s delegates!

Now that the seating of Florida’s delegates has come to the forefront in this election, it’s important to understand why the Florida election was legitimate as it stands. In that vein, I’m re-posting one of the first postings I wrote for this blog below. The reasons that Florida should have been considered a great victory for Hillary are the same reasons why the delegates must be seated.

Obama loses bigtime in Florida..

Of course, he doesn’t want the public to believe that, and as usual, the mainstream media is more than willing to sing his tune.In his typical George W Bush style, Barack Obama has smugly

Obama, Wellstone a “gadfly.”

I watched with nausea as Obama spoke a while back in Minneapolis and praised and praised the popular former senator from Minnesota, Paul Wellstone, who unfortunately was killed several years ago in a plane crash.

I couldn’t help but think of David Sirota’s article about Obama in The Nation, Mr. Obama goes to Washington, in which Obama refers to Wellstone as a gadfly.  Gadfly is defined as; a persistent irritating critic; a nuisance.

In a similar vein and a must read is Harper’s Magazine’s, Barack Obama Inc.

Obama Kept Contributions From Accused Fixer’s Wife And Others

Apparently Obama thinks pointing out contributions from Rezko’s wife is “casting a wide net.” More strange Obamalogic…

ABCNews.com Analysis Shows the Campaign Still Hasn’t Returned More Than $100,000 in Questionable Contributions

Jan. 28, 2008—

Despite claims over the weekend from Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama that his campaign had given away all the donations connected to accused fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the campaign has not returned

Obama knocked out…

Ed Morrisey writes;

Barack Obama could be excused for believing two weeks ago that he had nothing more than a flower-strewn path to the nomination. Women fainted in his presence, the media loved telling the story of the new Bobby Kennedy, and Hillary Clinton appeared to have all but conceded in her last debate. A funny thing happened on the way to Obama’s coronation, however

Obama’s Weaker Support With Democrats

According to the latest Pew Center Poll;

Obama would lose one quarter of Hillary supporters in the general election. A quarter of Democrats (25%) who back Clinton for the nomination say they would favor McCain in a general election test against Obama. The “defection” rate among Obama’s supporters if Clinton wins the nomination is far lower; just 10% say they would vote for McCain in November, while 86% say they would back Clinton.

“Obamacans” – those Republicans who are supporting Obama — are outnumbered two-to-one by what we would have to call “McCainocrats.”  There goes Obama’s theory of winning the election by converting republicans.

Come on guys; I answered like eight questions. We’re running late.

Those were Obama’s words as he curtly walked out on a press conference earlier today, a sign of the continuing deterioration of the relationship between Obama and the press.  As the Rezko trial begins and more and more evidence mounts that Obama has been rather untruthful (shocking!) with the press about his relationship with Rezko.

Despite Rhetoric, Obama Pushed Lobbyists’ Interests

Despite Rhetoric, Obama Pushed Lobbyists’ Interests

Justin Rood Reports:

Away from the bright lights and high-minded rhetoric of the campaign trail, Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has quietly worked with corporate lobbyists to help pass breaks worth $12 million.

In his speeches, Obama has lambasted lobbyists and moneyed interests who “have turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.”

“It’s an entire culture in Washington — some of it legal, some of it not,” the Democratic hopeful told a New York crowd in June, rallying support for his ethics reform agenda.

But last year, at the request of a hired representative for an Australian-owned chemical corporation Nufarm, Obama introduced nine separate bills

Why Matt is against Obama…

Matt Gonzalez is the former president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and is best known for nearly winning the San Francisco mayoral race as a Green party candidate. At a time when so many progressives have been duped by Obama’s false prophecy, Matt’s recent article is a breath of fresh air.

The Obama Craze: Count Me Out

by Matt Gonzalez, 2008-02-27

Part of me shares the enthusiasm for Barack Obama. After all, how could someone calling themself a progressive not sense the importance of what it means to have an African-American so close to the presidency? But as his campaign has unfolded, and I heard that we are not red states or blue states for the 6th or 7th time, I realized

Does Barack Obama ever tell the truth?

I hope this blows up in the press. I doubt it will considering their love affair with Obama, but I’m “hoping” for “change” in that department.

Note: Obama and the ambassador have denied their backroom chat, but Canada TV stands by their story.

Last week, a coalition of advocacy groups, including Common Cause and the League of Women Voters, expressed “deep concern” that Sen. Barack Obama might wriggle out of what they depicted as a “pledge” to accept public financing in the general election. The Obama campaign denies making a formal promise

Come on Obama, have you no sense of humor?

It’s becoming more and more well known that Obama has practically cut himself off from the press, having nearly no unscripted contact with reporters.   And now it seems that when he does give his adoring press corps a moment to bask in his glow, he can’t even take a joke…

Obama and Clinton ads both claim all Americans would be covered by their health plans. Clinton’s would come close.

Summary

In television ads, Clinton’s campaign says her health care plan is the only one that will provide universal coverage, while Obama says his plan will cover all Americans, too. We find:

• Obama is being misleading

Obama’s Healthcare Plan, it’s the pits.

Not nearly enough attention has been paid to the differences between Obama and Hillary’s healthcare plan. While there is mainly just one difference, the lack of a mandate in Obama’s plan, that difference can be make or break for

Thank god for Saturday Night Live… Bitch is the new black!

From the Democratic Daily;

Tonights Saturday Night Live opened with a devastating opening skit about how in the tank the news media is for Obama and how

Gullible? Lazy? Just plain dumb? Any way you cut it…

…the result is still the same.  For the second time (that I’m aware of) during this campaign, the Obama camp has expressed outrage at the Clinton camp’s purported spreading of supposedly damaging information and/or pictures, their source being Robert Novak in the first instance, and Matt drudge in the most recent flap. Now, any democrat that automatically assumes to be true, any claim made by either of these men, is, well, gullible, lazy, or just plain dumb.

Novak and Drudge are notorious right-wing

You go girl!

This is a hilarious clip of Clinton mocking Obama’s la la land routine.  Clinton’s friends always talk about her great sense of humor, and now we’re getting a glimpse of it.  Of course the media will either ignore it or call her a bitch, you choose.

Delusion is catching. But obviously part of this is my fault.

You’re seeing all I write through that prism; through the partisan prism of all things Clinton. Sorry to have not

Recently I received an email from a friend who supports Obama asking why I am not also an Obama supporter, and how I can be for Hillary. I’ve been asked this numerous times during the past several months, and since I don’t have time to respond to everyone of you, I thought I’d post my recent response to my friend. Yes, we are still friends despite this rift, it can be done…

In their own words: IRAQ

In my OPINION (backed up by the quotes below which are drawn directly and completely from the candidates websites), Hillary’s plan for a high level U.N appointed representative to broker peace, a feasable timetable (60 days) and a more comprehensive (or at least, more clearly articulate) package for Veteran’s is stronger than Obama’s.
