Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
-- Albert Einstein

I think what this campaign worker did was stupid mostly because it would give Republicans the idea to cross over and vote for Clinton since she would be easier for the Republicans to beat in the general election.

On the other hand, if stupidity was a crime then we would all be criminals.

For Danbury. Hillary caught in the Hillary lie.

Just getting back to the point of the post, as an Obama supporter and contributor, I hope he dumps this guy from his campaign. Say what you like, but this guy is representing him. Unless Obama is planning to drop down to Hillary's level of campaigning (this would be a HUGE drop down), he really needs to make an example of this guy. Otherwise others will take similar action.

Since Hillary is responsible for everything everyone down to her lowliest campaign worker does or says, even if they're fired or asked to resign AND she personally apologizes, I guess that makes Obama responsible for this guy.

They also have the same type of crap going on in Florida. They are calling themselves, Obamacrats. Telling Repugs and Independants to become a Democrat for a day. So now, we are not Democrats, no, we are Obamacrats. I find Obama and his campaign becoming a little more sleazy everyday.

Change We Can Believe In

Investment banks, hedge funds and Wall Street

"Obama received more donations from employees of investment banks and hedge funds than from any other sector, with Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase among his biggest sources of support.

"Individual donors included Ken Griffin, the multi-billionaire founder and chief executive of Chicago-based Citadel Investment Group, one of the world's biggest hedge fund companies," the UK's Financial Times reported July 17, 2007.[48]

"Obama's fundraising was more heavily dominated by financial professionals than other main candidate. He received $160,760 from employees of Lehman Brothers, just over $100,000 each from employees of Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase and $61,125 from Citigroup employees," the Times reported.

We'll see if Obama's sleaze bag tactics and race baiting works. I dont think so, but if it's interesting to see the person running on a message of uniting people being perfectly willing to divide Democrats to further his own political ambition. And this sleazy call to Republicans to stop Hillary is everything that is wrong with Obama's candidacy in microcasm.He is ready willing and able to make nice with the most dangerous and destrucive political ideology the country has ever seen - Republican conservatism. And his recent mud slinging at Clinton trying to play the race card over her very correct remarks that it took LBJ's committment as President to get the civil rights act passed was right out of Karl Rove's Kerry-insulted-the-troops playbook. The last thing we need is a Democratic candidate who thinks like Karl Rove.

So much for the Miss Congeniality Contest.

I'm sick of the god damned media bias against Hillary and not touching Obama on any issues of importance.

Right now I'm watching CNN, Wolf talking to CNN reporter John King (republican, engaged to another CNN reporter/republican) who also made an on air smirk about Bill's BJ, Jack Cafferty, known liberal Clinton hater who slobbers over Obama and doesn't hide his bias, Gloria Vorger(?), known republican pundint.

Here they are discussing the Obama Hillary story and pretending they can be unbiased.. what fucking bullshit. The slant on the conversation is typical. Hillary's to blame for everything and Obama is pure and has been above the frey in his campaign.

Anyone who follows the stump speeches, the facts, knows this is bullshit.

The race card was started on the Obama's side.


Where's the media discussion of the issues? nowhere !

What the hell is wrong with this? All Republicans should switch parties! Especially in a General Election!

What is this political BS??
What the hell is the DNC doing.
Why are they not allowing all candidates on all the state ballots??
I'm in MI, and the Kos suggests I vote for Romney- to derail Clinton and the Repugs- what??
The only candidate I support is Kucinich-Thanks assholes for leaving me MY Choice.
is it supposed to be a gift for these Political criminals?? FAIR ELECTIONS, MEANS WE CAN VOTE FOR WHICH EVER CANDIDATES ARE STILL RUNNING. this political hocus pocus must stop.To me this is Election tampering at the highest level!
HOPE KUCINICH'S LAWYERS EAT MSNBC AND SPIT THEM OUT. Sad to see my Fav Cable news becomes FOX NEWS IN BLUE- Keith are you starting to look like BillO?
KUCINICH- THE ONLY ONE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISONS THE FIRST TIME (he didn't need to see what Hillary wrote first). Iraq, Patriot Act..
If you don't pick you candy bar becasue of thepretty colors on the wrapper- don't elect a president that way either.

I'm missing the "gotcha" on this. What's undemocratic or underhanded about urging people to change their affiliation and vote for Obama if they want him to beat Clinton?

Bloomberg is a smart cookie and now he's allegedly "an independent", so '08 just might end up being the year A FIRST gets nominated as President afterall:

-----------------

..."Huge crowds roar their approval over lines like this, long on beautifully delivered rhetoric but short on facts and concrete undertakings. A casual observer might assume Obama is proposing a vastly more ambitious health-care plan than Clinton; in fact, the reverse is true.
Those who know Obama say privately that he has a healthy sense of entitlement that often manifests itself in an imperious, thin-skinned manner. We caught just a glimpse of this peevishness in his concession speech in New Hampshire, I thought - of a man somehow denied his rightful Schadenfreude over the second humiliating defeat of Clinton that he and the American punditocracy had confidently anticipated. Obama's latest book may be called The Audacity of Hope, but it really should be called The Audacity of Hype."

----------

END.

Bloomberg waiting in the wings:

-------------

..."The further away you get from Chicago, though, the more the saintly image takes hold. Publications like the New Yorker may coo for pages over "the conciliator", but the two Chicago newspapers are much more interested in Obama's close 17-year friendship with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a long-time Obama donor and property developer awaiting trial on charges of attempted extortion, money laundering and fraud. A low-income housing project received more than $14m from taxpayers while Obama was a state senator, but he consistently denied that he had done any favours for Rezko.
The hope mantra
That was until the Chicago Sun-Times unearthed two letters Obama wrote to state officials in 1998 urging them to grant extra funds for Rezko's project. Democrats and Republicans alike in Chicago, too, are intrigued by the question of why Obama paid $1.65m for a mansion in the city's south side in 2005 - $300,000 less than the asking price - on the very same day Rezko's wife happened to buy the house next door for the asking price. In their tax return for the following year, Obama and his wife, Michelle, who is vice-president of a non-profit hospital organisation, reported taxable income of $983,826 for 2006, down from $1.6m the previous year.
"Hope" is the mantra word in Obama's magic elixir, but Bruce Reed - president of the Democratic Leadership Council - points out that tens of millions of Americans are supporting Obama not because of what he's done, but because of what they hope he might do. "We don't need leaders to tell us we can't do what we need to do," Obama said in a typical stump speech on 7 January. "We need them to say 'yes, we can', to say 'yes, we believe'."
