Obobmem needs to have a life changing experience before he can say he speaks for the common person.

Hitlery is on the other side of the spectrum she is experienced in bilking the public out of their money and needs to understand what it is like to actually have to pay a mortgage, go to the store and draw a cup of coffee from a simple machine.

Billy Jeff wants it to go to the convention?

Bill Clinton thrives on chaos.

Also he can score a lot of . .. of
Wait, I’ll start over..
He can hit on. . .wait.. let me try it again..

There will be a lot of women at the convention who will see Bill Clinton as a major player. (there. that’ll work)

* both are liberal jerks
* both are on a battlefield they are not familiar with, and both lied their pathway to it
* once there they served contradictory tales and exaggerated like there’s no tomorrow
* once busted both either blamed sinister forces that allegedly try to silence them, or just refused to answer questions
* both came clear about minor issues when busted, and tried to gain moral high ground by redemption, which was fake in both instances
* in both cases there was a woman pulling the strings and urging them to soldier on because they were oh-so proud of them for speaking truth to power

Oh, and Beauchamp is no real killer just like Obama is no real African-American who ever had to face a single uphill battle.

Thanks but I can’t stomach him, even in the few instances when he’s right (and to give the man credit, he is right in tthat article).

This is the last half of HRC’s fatal joke…”whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”
I think stoopid would be the first half.
I can’t wrap my mind around it: She just shot Herself in the other foot, I mean hoof.

The chickens…have come home….to vote for Obama.

He should have Maynard G. Krebs as his VP. “Work?!!!!!”

Larry Sabato, head of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said Clinton’s comment was a “poorly worded” variation on the way analysts have been “slicing and dicing the vote in racial terms.”

However, he said her primary support doesn’t prove she’s more electable. Either Democrat will get “the vast majority” of the other’s primary election votes in a general election, he said.

And, it will still not be enough to win. Therein lies the dilemma of the superdelegates.

Dancing around the race theme is the most interesting this year. That Obama will do more to damage race relations, than anyone, is the most interesting. That the liberals do this to themselves, out of identity politics, is the greated spectacle of them all. Karl Rove summed it up to perfection in the WSJ article.

Lots of head-scratching at the beginning of Nov. At MSNBC, a different kind of head…

Domestically, Hillary is the classic Clintonian middle-working class “pander” that Tsongas in 1991 derided. Well, “pander bear” works. Because voters want “stuff” for them.

The Gas Tax holiday immediately puts money back in pockets, so that’s a huge difference. Affirmative Action, reparations, release of Black Criminals, soft on crime generally, guns (Hillary has “forgotten” Gun Control, it’s a huge issue for Obama’s Black supporters), and more are direct issues for the white middle/working class Hillary supporters.

These are real, direct, immediate policy differences. Hillary doesn’t talk about them directly, but believe me they exist. Crime in particular is a huge issue. Homeowners, the elderly, middle aged people, working/middle class people are very sensitive to crime. While Blacks out of ethnic solidarity hate any measures to reduce Crime (look at NYC, how White voters flocked to Rudy out of desperation, and Blacks consistently voted against him and any crime control measures).

If you believe City Journal’s Heather Mac Donald’s article, nationally Blacks commit about 50% of violent crime despite being only 11% of the population. Lowering Violent Crime means imprisoning large amounts of Blacks.

There is no way to do this without politically, engendering a reaction among Blacks. See Al Sharpton, Wright, Obama etc. Creating an impasse: White Voters want lower Crime and Black Voters refuse the measures to lower it.

Crime is one “hidden” policy difference that Hillary is addressing. Rest assured that if McCain does not cover it, the 527s will, in the general election.

working, hard-working Americans, white Americans,

She better pray there’s no clear audio of that statement. That’s cringeworthy.

Hitchens called what? The man is an imbecile if he seriously thinks black Democrats don’t “vote with their epidermis”.

Hitchens said just that. The Democratic election will increasingly splinter along racial lines and that Hillary will be drawing upon the divide as part of her campain rhetoric. The fact of the matter is, Obama vs McCain results in the hollowing out of the Democratic base who will not vote for Obama for a whole host of reasons, Wright and Ayers being two.

I live in the midwest and have spoken with a number of labor Democrats who I think are pretty representative of the mainstream of their party. Frequently they have been factory workers or general labor voters. While they may differ from Republicans on some policy issues and the general role of the government, they tend to hold similar cultural values.

In each instance my acquantences are moderately patriotic, and have either served in the military, have family who served or know someone who has served. In each instance they have independently pointed to Obama’s relationship with Wright as a major sticking point. One mentioned Obama’s relationship with Ayers. A few pointed to his lack of experience. Antecdotal? Absolutely. But listening to the tone and tenor of their comments makes me believe that their views are hardly isolated and that Obama has an insurmountable task if he wishes to carry large segments of fly-over country and the lion’s share of the labor Democratic vote.

Yesterday morning in USA Today there was an article about how Hillary Clinton believes her wide appeal to the electorate will help her in a general elections. She says that Obama’s support among ‘white’ Americans is weakening and th…
