Another Republican comes out of the closet.

Yes, the "fringe left" which the majority of Americans actually agree with, according to polls on the issues alone.

McCain is a fascist, just like Bush.

No, you've got it all wrong - he's a Reaganite. Also, he's anti-choice; I have a flier from the Clinton campaign that says so.

Yeah, the way Rooseveldt took the fall for Hoover. Sometimes leadership does make a difference...

Just to make a correction: Clinton was absent for the wiretapping vote.

Yes, he really needs to start hitting her with NAFTA.

He is: Susan Rice was just on CNN using that as a talking point on his behalf.

People think Ohio will go for Clinton because her campaign has a better media-outreach operation than Obama does. You know, "Clinton is a champion of the working class", etc.

Granted, this is just one poll, but it's solidly Ohio going for Clinton...

Also note, Ohio Dems award 161 delegates PROPORTIONALLY (not winner take all).

Not sure if Ohio primary is "open" or "closed."

Yay! (Go, Obama!!!!)

I hope the Democratic politicos realize the severe damage they would do by brokering a deal that differs widely from the primary results. (Go, Obama!!!!) My fear is that they seem to live on a different plane of reality than the rest of us, for instance, the bunch of jerks we sent to DC in 2006 completely lost their compass. (Go, Obama!!!!) So who the f*ck knows what they will do? (Go, Obama!!!!) If they broker a deal for Clinton in the face of her losses at the primary, I hope the country EXPLODES! As well it should. Super-deligates, my ass!!!! (Go, Obama!!!!)

I was stuck watching CNN last night because we don't get MSNBC. In spite of Obama's recent victories, CNN refuses to acknowledge that Obama has momentum (with the exception of Donna Brazile) and I'd bet that Clinton had more air time than Obama. According to CNN, any state Obama wins is not important; only the states Clinton wins are.

eej; well spoken. The voters and no one elde should be in command. 1776

He's going to need all that glitter when he takes over during a time of failing economies, rising unemployment and the catastrophic effects of global climate change. All of those problems will be his. He will own them and the country will not think well if he fails to fix everything as he promises.
Somebody is going to be left holding the bag. It may as well be Obama. Go Obama.

Hi RD, apologies for tracking you down via profiles, but I wanted to add a thought (per FISA string yesterday) about "standing."

Per FISA string, current comment p4:

"Why do you need standing to demonstrate before the court that your rights have been VIOLATED, when the government so much as admits said right has already been STRIPPED.

I don't get the subtlety.

If it is suddenly legal to stick a hot poker up rolling's tailpipe, should rolling have to wait to get reamed before appealing to the court for protection?"

Apologies for the crassness too. Cheers.

Back on topic:

rollingdivision is playing mind games.

rollingdivision is on record here at HuffPo supporting warrantless wiretapping, torture, and in general, toes a Republican line -- hardly the swooning Obamamania type.

rollingdivision lives in fear of Hillary, and moreover, Hillary cleaning ANY Republican's clock and becoming President.

Examples from
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/users/profile/rollingdivision :

"AP Confirms Secret Camp Inside Gitmo
In a world with limited resources, there is no desire to spend time, money, effort and political capital on the wrong people (innocents). There is absolutely no upside in it for the politicians to lock up unknown innocent people in GITMO. posted 02/07/2008 at 07:28:40

and

"Well, when the new Democratic president is sworn in she can empty GITMO.
posted 02/06/2008 at 20:23:33 "

"CIA: Waterboarding Used On Only 3 Detainees
No different than having a police sniper shot and kill someone holding hostages when they get the shot. It's done without a warrant, without a subpoena, without a court order, without a trial and only because it is thought innocent lives at in jeopardy. After all other means have been exhausted, torture with a warrant and court hearing and review and a court order under extreme circumstances should be allowed if it innocent lives are in jeopardy. posted 02/06/2008 at 14:18:22
In the extreme circumstances, torture is the not only acceptable, it is the morally required. "

But on some things, we DO agree:
"Fed President "Not Confident" Recession Avoidable
It's the normal business cycle. Let it work through the system. We've never prevented a recession, though we have done things which may have affected the length of some recessions. So don't pass the $168 BILLION (or so) "Stimulus" bill. More properly known as the "buying votes with borrowed money" bill. posted 02/08/2008 at 09:56:13 "

If Hillary sneaks in the FL and MI delegates, the party will be abandoning all fairness in those elections. In MI she was the only Dem. candidate NOT to pull her name from the ballot before the election. In FL she was carried due to her early lead and lack of any campaigning by oppostion candidates.

Either the Dems. will stick with penalizing the state Democratic parties push for early primaries, or they will cave and have a wounded candidate in November.

guero; If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. this includes MSM. 1776

"So following Fineman's MSM logic"

Not logic, but cold hard MATH. The fact is that she cannot catch up unless she starts winning 60-40. The nomination is now slipping beyond her grasp.

In pledged delegates, she can still win with the superdelegates - it'll be rough, but here's hoping.

Are you honestly suggesting that the MSM will give up their meal ticket? Where would they be if they couldn't spew venom against the Clintons 24/7?

Does any senator know what forth admendment is and what it means?
It means you have to have a Warrant supported by probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation.
please read it.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Why would any thinking Democrat vote for a Clinton, after the Clintons gave us NAFTA and Most Favored Nation Treaty and sent the good paying factory jobs to Mexico and to Communist China?
Are the middle class people totally stupid?

You mean she will STEAL the election. I don't think so, but that is the only way that she will get the nomination.
