Haha, told.

ZEROpumpkins · 01.27.2008, 07:06 AM

I'm just laughing at the name Axelrod

screamingskull · 01.27.2008, 07:15 AM

ha ha ha ha ha, Axelrod!

Excellent!

Obama key to victory: Hillary seemed to "talk down" to Barack during the debate.

Yeah, the Republicans are looking to be in good shape despite the odds. If they can manage to orchestrate either Obama or Clinton to be the Democratic nominee, their ticket will once again win in the general election.

My boss at work came in really stoned once to pick up the day's earnings after the store had closed. He sat me down and lectured me on how important it is to vote and how in the 60's when he was attending Florida State Tim Leary and G. Gordon Libby came to his college to do their debate tour in which they debated each other on certain topics, the college students obviously taking Leary's side. At the end of the debate Liddy would ask how many people were actually registered to vote and apparently less than 5% raised their hands. He took about 15 minutes to tell this story. Then I let him know that I won't be 18 by the time the next election is here and he patted me on the back and said I can go home.

_slavo_ · 01.27.2008, 09:19 AM

That's good news about Obama.

atari 2600 · 01.27.2008, 09:41 AM

Both Bill and Hillary were telling rampant lies of insinuation about Obama in the primary, and it backfired on them, which is good.

...look for more references to Hillary Clinton's campaign as "Billary"

!@#$%! · 01.27.2008, 03:38 PM

obama's victory speech

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...l?hpid=topnews

when i the last time you heard a politician speak like that? 1960?

he's what we need.

gmku · 01.27.2008, 03:41 PM

I still like Hillary better.

krastian · 01.27.2008, 03:41 PM

I agree with !@#$%!, I've liked Obama since he first came "on the scene" with the speech he gave at the Democratic Convention a few years back....his speech last night was realy good too. I actually believe that he wants to kick ass for the American people....you know, the ones that don't blow ass. When it comes to politicians, he's about as good as your going to get. He's the real deal.

gmku · 01.27.2008, 03:42 PM

He's too inexperienced.

davenotdead · 01.27.2008, 03:48 PM

Brian Chippendale for prez.

Yeah, that is something that def. crossed my mind before he even decided to run. Does Hillary really have that much more experience? Does Mitt Romney? Did Kennedy? I don't know, I think Obama is smart enough not to fuck up too bad....which is what we desperately need!!

those are delusions sir.

obama has held public office for a lot longer than hillary.

obama is a civil rights lawyer, has taught constitutional law, and was president of the harvard law review (he graduated magna cum laude). hillary is an intellectual property lawyer from yale.

as a community organizer, he's more in touch with the real issues and problems people face. hillary's experience is in corporate boards.

what we need is a DECENT person running things for a change an inspiring people to get involved in the process rather than turning people off with dirty politricks. we've had decades of voter apathy now. experience in high crimes and misdemeanors is not anything we should ask for.

then again there is the boomer vs. gen-xer factor that seems to be underlying much of what the election is about. boomers have voted closer along racial lines where genxers havent. like how bill clinton compared obama w/ jesse jackson. but anyway-- interesting sociological stuff going on.

krastian · 01.27.2008, 04:07 PM

Very interesting sociological stuff indeed.
