Clinton Backer Weinstein Threatens Pelosi Over Revote

Is Weinstein a big aggressive supporter of Israel? I've never heard that. He seems more interested in his own power and influence. He has it with the Clintons, he doesn't with Obama. Seems pretty cut and dried to me. posted 05/08/2008 at 19:49:38

You know what's strange? Israel keeps sending spies here to steal state secrets and when we catch them, there is no consequence to the Israeli government. Why is that? posted 05/08/2008 at 19:47:00

He no longer owns nor profits from Miramax (which was bought by Disney and the Weinsteins ousted). Feel free to boycott Weinstein Films, though their recent films have been so sucky it wouldn't be a hardship. posted 05/08/2008 at 19:41:11

Vanessa Williams To Graduate From College This Weekend

She didn't earn a degree, she was given it for being a celebrity. It's embarrassing, and a terrible precedent. posted 05/08/2008 at 20:04:10

I thought the headline was inspiring, until I read the rest of the story:

"She earned the remaining credits for her degree through industry experience and performances on stage and screen."

In other words, she didn't go back to school at all. They just gave her her remaining credits for doing nothing, so that she could get a degree.

I call bullshit. Syracuse University should be ashamed. posted 05/08/2008 at 20:01:49

Clinton Defends 'Obliterate Iran' Comment, Obama Calls It Bush-Style 'Cowboy Diplomacy'

She is a nutjob. Not only with her comments toward Iran but also against China. She is making us more enemies which is the last thing we need.

She and McCain want to make more war on this world. Brace yourselves. posted 05/04/2008 at 12:39:11

Clinton Gas Tax Holiday: Hillary Attacks Economists

She also fudged the numbers she gave supporting her plan. She said that the average driver would save $70 over the summer, and that long commuters would save more. That is patently wrong and unsubstantiated by the math.

She also claims that the gas tax holiday will be paid by a windfall tax on gas companies. Doesn't explain how she will get it passed in Congress, or if she will abandon the holiday if she cant get the windfall tax passed. (Not that Bush will sign either.) posted 05/04/2008 at 10:44:37

Dems Win Second Seat In Solidly GOP District

Bobby Jindal was a pretty unique candidate in a weird election. He lost a lot of the conservative vote to the Dem candidate. And he had a very familiar name and presence in Louisiana.

We'll see how LA rolls in Nov. posted 05/04/2008 at 10:40:45

It's true that the demographics have changed with the influx of Katrina refugees, but there is also real discontent, actually anger, towards the Republicans and their inaction during and after Katrina.

Republicans Voting In Indiana Primary Expected To Play Pivotal Role

Since Rush is on tape and video touting Operation Chaos on his show, it's more than just an "urban legend." The sad thing is that Hillary supports it instead of condemning it. posted 05/03/2008 at 16:18:16

Republicans are expected to be close to 40% of the voters in the Dem primary Tuesday.

Though most are voting sincerely, we should be wary of those motivated by Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos, in which he is rallying Repubs to vote for Hillary just to extend the primary and her negative campaigning against our nominee.

It's sad that he is tampering with the voting process like this. If anyone in Indiana can gather proof that certain voters are doing this, it could lead to an indictment against Limbaugh. Be wary and be aware. posted 05/03/2008 at 15:06:52

Obama wins close race, beats Clinton in Guam

You sound like you're 10 years old. posted 05/04/2008 at 13:01:34

You don't know about energy, do you? These days coal gets liquified and burns cleanly like natural gas. This is a technology that has been pushed by Dem governor Brian Sweitzer of Montana, a leading coal producer and red state.

It's not quite as clean as, let's say, wind technology, but we can't use that for cars, can we? Furthermore, ethanol has been a disaster. Not only does it take 120 gallons of fuel to produce 100 gallons of ethanol, the diversion of corn to fuel has made food that much more expensive. Coal, which our country has plenty of, is an imperfect but doable option.

Why don't you go out and learn about something before you start hysterically screaming about it? posted 05/04/2008 at 12:56:56

Guam gets 5 superdelegates. Yesterday 2 were elected. One is an Obama supporter. The other has committed to the winner of the caucus. The other 3 TBD.

So there are delegates at stake. Most likely, Obama will win most of the supers from Guam. posted 05/04/2008 at 12:51:56

Yesterday, Hillary made a last ditch pandering offer for the voters of Guam.

Still, they split the pledged delegates (as expected) and the 2 supers elected today (of 5 total) are Obamabots.

Obama 4 - Hillary 2
3 more TBD posted 05/03/2008 at 21:14:24

Excuse me. I misspoke.

Yup. So they split the 4 pledged delegates, but Obama picked up the 2 supers elected today.

Yes, they split the pledged delegates. 2 each.

But there are also 5 supers in Guam. 2 decided today. One is for Obama, the other undecided will go with the winner of the caucus.

Yes, there is a caucus. And Obama has an office on the island. Hillary does not. posted 05/03/2008 at 20:45:55

It's true that Guam was a squeaker, and Obama and Clinton will split the 4 pledged delegates.

But Guam also gets 5 superdelegates. 2 were determined by a vote today for Chair and Vice Chair of the Dem Party. One of those is an Obama supporter, the other is undecided and will go with the caucus winner.

Yes, there is a caucus to determine the supers. posted 05/03/2008 at 20:36:59

Mike, if you are US citizen living abroad then you can contribute to the campaign. If you are a foreign national, there's really not much you can do other than persuade any Americans you know why they should support Obama. You can also write on boards like this or letters to the editors and lend your vocal support.

Thanks. posted 05/03/2008 at 18:50:59

Actually, a lot of early states have been polling very differently from when they voted. Currently, both CA and NJ polls have Obama ahead of Hillary. Back on Feb 5, Hillary won NJ by 10 points but currently Obama is beating her by 7. A lot of buyers' remorse once Hillary went negative and people got to know Barack better.

A lot of states are in play with Obama as the nominee. CO, VA, GA, NC, NM, IA, maybe even his family state of KS; these are states Hillary would never win. posted 05/03/2008 at 18:44:01

OBAMA SUPPORTERS:

Let's get on those phones! If each of us spent an hour today and Sunday calling voters in IN and NC, especially the undecideds, it could put our guy Obama over the top in both states. Take nothing for granted!! We all know that the Clintons are like cockroaches; they won't die unless we grind them under our heels.

20 phones calls each day, each state from all of us could reach a hell of a lot of people. Get on the website and then pick up the phone. Use your cell phone this weekend and it'll be free.

And if you want to do more, call the superdelegates of your state and tell them why Obama should be their choice.

Come'on. It's one thing to sit around on Huff Post, but it's more productive to convert the undecideds in two states that count. posted 05/03/2008 at 17:47:09

Awesome.

We have to reach the oldsters and working class voters. These people may have a harder time getting on computers and using the web to get their information. We have to share our knowledge with them. Show them why Obama should be the nominee.

Yeah, because moping around wishing for things really helps.

The responses that I've gotten have been very positive so far. As long as you aren't selling anything and aren't too aggressive, people are willing to engage. On my calls, I'm having a dialogue -- that means listening as much as talking -- and people seem to respond. I show my excitement for my candidate and sometimes that transfers, sometimes not.

We have to remember that unlike us, many people are going by name recognition. We have to share the information we have, especially since many people haven't read as many papers, websites and articles as we have or seen as many youtube videos. Not their fault, many don't have the time or the access. posted 05/03/2008 at 16:10:53

It explains why the old go for Hillary. Or why the less educated. Or the bigots. Those that feel threatened.

But the truly brave, the ones who know that you can't stay the same, forge on and blaze a new path. Obama is looking ahead and those brave enough to blaze that path with him will find a better nation for all its citizens. We have the will, we have the guts and we have the fortitude.
