The Ho-Hum Obama Revolution
I was there. It was amazing. I was staying at the Marriot on the waterfront, and I had no idea there was going to be a rally. I heard the Decemberists playing outside, so I went out on the balcony to see what was going on. It was an unbelievable scene. The Willamette in front of the park was filled with boats, the park was jam-packed, and there was a line of pedestrians that I was told stretched for 20 blocks in every direction. Sharpshooters on the bridges and rooftops, and helicopters flying overhead. Like nothing I've ever seen in my life. I missed Obama when he was in Minneapolis (where I live), so it was great to finally see him. This has to go down as one of the greatest campaign rallies of all time. I feel enormously lucky to have witnessed it. posted 05/19/2008 at 20:04:08

A Victory for Equality: California Affirms the Freedom to Marry
A real victory for equality would be to get the State out of the marriage business altogether. Marriage is the province of the church. The State should have nothing to do with it. If the State started baptizing babies, would people put up with it? Of course not. So why indulge them when they perform marriages? posted 05/15/2008 at 16:01:22
Bush Uses Holy Land Pulpit to Launch Smear Campaign
Paul, you and I both know that this is precisely why Hillary's campaign has become a problem. The Democratic Party MUST provide a forceful, united front against this sort of attack. Instead, many of Hillary's supporters are unsure whether to support Obama or get behind Bush and McCain in a misguided and opportunistic attempt to push their own candidate's superiority. This is where we start losing them to the Republicans. This is where Hillary's candidacy becomes destructive. posted 05/15/2008 at 18:33:07

Superdelegates put Obama within mathematical reach
This Clinton argument is nonsense. Let's put this into sports terms. The game is nearly over. There's about a minute left to play, Obama is ahead by two touchdowns and he's got the ball. Suddenly, Hillary calls a time out and tells the referees that she thinks the team that carried the ball for the most yards should win the game--not the team that scored the most touchdowns.

Edwards: Clinton didn't choose words well on race
Every day Hillary stays in the race, she further damages the Democratic Party's chances in the fall. You can't keep attacking the presumptive nominee and avoid damage. Hillary is kidding herself if she thinks she has a chance to win the nomination, and if she thinks her candidacy is anything but destructive at this point. She should have dropped out long ago.

Hillary, however, is not "less than ideal". She is a Republican. She is trying to destroy our party from within.

But it's not just about Barack and Hillary, Seth. It's about an insurgency. It's about taking the power back from those who have done so much damage for so long. It's about taking back the Party from the Clinton/DLC farce that has worked so hard to turn us into something we can no longer believe in. Look at Hillary happily running as a Republican in Indiana, talking about obliterating Iran and writing off economic experts as clueless "elitists" in order to win over Limbaugh's Republicans. I could no more vote for her than I could vote for Joe Lieberman. And she is no more of a Democrat than he is.
The fact is, there is only one alternative in this race, and it is Barack Obama. Personally, if he were to lose the nomination, I would consider my time better spent trying to get him elected as a write-in candidate. There is very little difference between Hillary and John McCain, and whatever difference there is is mostly cosmetic.

Clinton Camp Says It Will Use The Nuclear Option
I agree. No matter who they support, the superdelegates should commit. June will be too late. posted 05/05/2008 at 13:14:22
This is where a little leadership would come in handy. Unfortunately, it's a rare commodity in the Democratic Party these days. The superdelegates should be ashamed of themselves for allowing a red state like Indiana to control what happens in our party. Indiana hasn't gone with a Democratic candidate in a national election since 1964. Who the hell cares what they think? posted 05/05/2008 at 13:03:54
Hillary lies like a man. She's got big, fat lying cojones. Obama? Too reasonable. Too intelligent. We need a lying dumbass in office. Otherwise things would change too much. posted 05/05/2008 at 09:55:20
You really need to educate yourself a bit before you post stuff like this. You have no idea what you're talking about. posted 05/05/2008 at 07:57:26
I just heard Hillary on CNN, lashing out at commodities traders, saying that investors legally trading oil on the open market was somehow similar to Enron traders (in a closed market) manipulating energy prices. This is an incredible statement coming from a presidential candidate, demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of the way a free market economy works. Amazing. posted 05/05/2008 at 07:56:05
Let's think about this for a moment, shall we? The Rules and Bylaws Committee are the people who WROTE the rules. And Hillary is going to convince them to allow her to break the rules they came up with? Yeah. Riiigghhht. posted 05/05/2008 at 02:16:50
She has lost my vote. Her irresponsible, hawkish position on Iran makes it impossible for me to vote for her.
She can invoke the nuclear option if she likes. I won't vote for McCain, but if she gets the nomination, I will work very hard to make certain she loses. I refuse to allow another bullet-headed hawk in office. posted 05/04/2008 at 16:07:12

Clinton Defends 'Obliterate Iran' Comment, Obama Calls It Bush-Style 'Cowboy Diplomacy'
Hillary is a hawk. She voted to invade Iraq, and the reason she's never apologized is because she thinks invading was the right decision. If elected, she would most likely launch a military action against Iran. If you want more war, she is a better choice than McCain. McCain is LESS of a hawk than Hillary. posted 05/04/2008 at 14:30:39
Clinton's response was stupid, dangerous and outrageous. As Obama rightly pointed out, the point is moot, since Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. So Hillary was responding to a hypothetical.
Obama's response is the correct one: he will work to make certain Iran is never in a position to launch a nuclear attack on anyone.
Hillary is Bush with boobs. posted 05/04/2008 at 12:49:35

Clinton Gas Tax Holiday: Hillary Attacks Economists
Is it any wonder they only have one kid, and he went looking elsewhere for his nookie? posted 05/04/2008 at 16:32:47
You're a moron. Exactly the kind of voter Hillary and McCain are fighting over. posted 05/04/2008 at 16:25:19
Clinton is dumpster diving for votes. It's typically a Republican strategy, but she clearly has decided that this is her path to the nomination. Politicians know that a vote is a vote--it doesn't matter if the person voting for you is as dumb as a rock as long as they vote for you.
She's fighting with McCain to see who can be the most hawkish and the most Republican in an effort to lure the lunchbucket crowd into her camp. And when I say lunchbucket crowd, I'm talking about their heads--not the things they use to take their lunch to work. posted 05/04/2008 at 16:23:35

Rove's Next Trick -- If Obama Must Answer For His Minister Now, Just Wait to See What the Republicans Will Do To Clinton Inc. in October
Hillary has already made McCain's case for him and undermined any possibility she had of winning. Not only has he verified his commander-in-chief credentials, she's joined him in the gas tax holiday pander and doubled down on his plan for Iran. While he would merely "bomb, bomb, bomb" she would "obliterate" them. Nice. Real Democratic. Let's burn 65 million innocent men, women and children alive. OK, Hillary--whatever you want. You're the boss. You're always the boss.
Hillary is insane. Certifiably. Insane. posted 05/05/2008 at 01:59:45

Obama wins close race, beats Clinton in Guam
Bill Clinton to the superdelegates: "Hey guys, my wife Hillary would really, really like to be president. See if you can set something up for her, OK? Even though Obama is ahead right now, I think she can still beat him if we just keep hammering away at him. Give her a few more contests, alright? Just let her run until she's destroyed him. Then, if he still wins, she'll concede fair and square. But let her see if she can ruin his chances first. Now that we have the help of the Republicans, I really think we can beat this guy. Thanks a bunch. See ya at the Country Club." posted 05/03/2008 at 14:14:35
That video was doctored and the story is completely untrue. There are legitimate issues to criticize Hillary on, but that isn't one of them. If we lie about her or her campaign, we're no better than they are. posted 05/03/2008 at 14:09:23
Oh, jeez. You're kidding, right? posted 05/03/2008 at 14:08:06
Don't forget--Bayh's Magnaquench memo was just release. This is going to hurt both him and Hillary in Indiana. By Tuesday, I'm hoping the damage will be critical. posted 05/03/2008 at 13:59:41
Hillary is a Trojan Horse for the Republicans. The reason they're not attacking her is because she's doing their work for them. She can't possibly defeat McCain and they know it. But they're happy to let her weaken Obama. posted 05/03/2008 at 13:56:24
In all fairness to Hillary, Obama has said the same thing. The difference, of course, is that he means it. posted 05/03/2008 at 13:54:25
And if she doesn't concede, the superdelegates will begin driving her out. The only person she's helping at this point is McCain. posted 05/03/2008 at 13:51:28
If Hillary loses Indiana, she'll concede on Wednesday. posted 05/03/2008 at 13:48:52

"Long lines of voters were reported in schools, community centers and other caucus sites that were open for voting all day Saturday."
I heard it was mayhem. 27 people showed up at one caucus site, totally swamping workers. Officials say it may be weeks before all the ballots are counted. posted 05/03/2008 at 13:45:59

Early Indiana turnout heavy in strong Obama counties
"Obama has been on the defensive because of comments by his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and his own comments about people in small towns growing bitter."
That's not why Obama is on the defensive. He's on the defensive because he's under full-scale, round-the-clock assault from:
- Hillary Clinton
- Former President Bill Clinton
- John McCain
- The RNC
- The NRCC
- State-level Republicans
- State-level Democrats
- Republican 527s
- Democratic 527s
The fact that he's still standing and holding his own in the face of the millions upon millions of dollars the Clintons and the Republicans are spending to defeat him is a testament to his message and his skill as a candidate. It's too late to beat him now. All Hillary can do is damage him. posted 05/03/2008 at 14:38:37

A Point of Clarification
The thing is, this isn't the first time WVWV has been involved in this. If it was a one-time deal, I'd accept their explanation. As it is, they've got a lot more convincing to do. posted 05/04/2008 at 12:47:28
The Question of Hillary Clinton's Guilt-By-Association Tactics
One point: if we can hold off this massive Clinton/Republican assault against Obama, he will have a very powerful grassroots movement behind him going into the general election. Hillary will have nothing of the sort. She will have her Big Money donors and her "Hillary44" loonies. But NOTHING like the support that Obama has. posted 05/03/2008 at 09:35:23
