"Gregoire Endorses Obama; Sloggers Forget Viaduct Rebuild Stance, Now Hail Her Acumen"

meanwhile here's a good site on superdelegates.
I think it indicates that the "follow your state" principle would advantage Clinton (at this point in time).

They didn't let us in! I vow revenge!
Mr. Poe, please call your friendly SS representative at 202-114-2008.
NOW!!
Before I vote for Obama or Hillary, I demand to know whether they favor a tunnel, or a viaduct rebuild!
This might seem crazy, but I think Obama will get a slight bump from Mitt dropping out. I know the conservative right is drooling over the prospects of running against Hillary, but a handful of conservative Republicans I've spoken with would rather vote for change (Obama) than follow party lines. And yes, some will be caucusing tomorrow...
No worries, unPC, Rossi will beat Gregoire in Nov.
That rebate plan is a billion with a 'b', dude.
No one woudl give a shit about some $168mn spread out over 300 million people.
It'd be like, gee, Congress, thansk for my fifty cents! I'll go get a pack of gum!
at we arent going to get that till may, and thats about the time when we will see if weve had a classical definition of recession. 600 dollars? 1200 dollars? these are such small potatoes!
its flipping ridiculous.
The article about the mass shooting in Kirkwood, MO probably should fall under the "And they'll know we are Christians by our..." category. Especially with quotes like this:
"She said she never suspected that her son would be violent but described the events as “an act of God, just like a storm or a tornado.”
Mr. Thornton’s sister-in-law, Doreen Thornton, said he had had a 17-year-old daughter and said she could not understand what had happened.
“Cookie never got mad,” Ms. Thornton said. “He was a people person. Cookie was known through his church to be a No. 1 kind of man.”
yeah, that Kirkwood thing was a bad scene. K-wood is a nice suburb of The Lou. Apparently, this dude was always being a pain in the ass at the city council meeting. I guess he finally lost it...
Isn't Huckaboo showing up in Kirkland today?
Remember kids, the gubamint wants you to spend that $600-$1,200 "rebate" as soon as possible.
However, I suggest "spending" it on your 2008 taxes, since that's where it's being borrowed from in the first place.
Of course, that won't help the economy in the short-term, but it'll sure help your pocket-book come April '09.
Holy crap, the crazed gunman in MO was a Thornton? I'm a Thornton. Not a crazed gunman, though. OK, not a gunman. But I'll bet the security at city council chambers around the country just got tighter, and kooks with agendas will have a harder time finding time to speak.
have i ever told you how much we value your contributions here at slog, fnarf?
If only there was some sort of organization of crazed gunmen, to give them a more powerful voice....
@9,
Maybe the problem is that she called him Cookie.
i mean, everyone here likes you -- even when we disagree. heh... heh.... so, let's just put away the gun now...
