Clinton holdouts, please take a long hard look on what your candidate really offers, and her track record of saying what it takes to get into office, then failing to deliver once she's there.

And I will not even get into how Bill hangs out with George Sr.......

This bit of shabby journalistic chicanery proves that a huge number of US citizens should NOT be encouraged to vote.

And how odd for Hillary to be grilled by her husband's former employee without whom - well, who knows?

(Hillary was pretty hot back in the early days)

Maybe she wasn't talking about dress up accessories for chickenhawks. She was trying to test whether or not Obama is The One. Can he transcend this "reality" and realize there is no spoon, there is no flag, there is no vast throng of zombie morons out to drive us to despair with their pig ignorance.

And if he'd given her an acceptable answer, do you actually think she'd switch her vote? He can prove nothing to her. Like if Hillary actually stopped lying, would you vote for her? (rhet.)

See Gary Trudeau's take on the flag pin.

Please, America, please.

Do the right thing.

Personally, I had hope he would have said something about not liking to make the American flag just another trademark symbol like the Nike swoosh or the Golden Arches. My blue collar veteran-heavy family would wear flag pins and put out the flag on July 4th, Memorial Day, Dec. 7th, 9-11, Veterans' Day, etc so it actually had some punch and poignancy.

No fucking contest. These kinds of stunts only work on mushy-minded emotional voters.

the theory is that they brought her in, the only citizen in the debate to ask a question, to allow steph and gibson the luxury of at least not sinking quite *that* low.

7 years in the Illinois state senate for Chicago's South Side
President of Harvard Law Review
Senior lecturer at University of Chicago

um, hardly green - in fact, his relative lack of time in D.C. is something to be proud of, and a reason to expect he won't be as tainted by the long-term special interests that inevitably grow on more "seasoned" politicians like so many barnacles.

Obama! Obama! Obama!

Sure, the first two years would be good to okay. She'll have trouble getting stuff done because she had no coattails and didn't build the party at all. But on a whole it'll be an improvement, much the same way her husband's first two years were good. (Nafta excepted)

But then, after the party gets throttled in the mid-terms, Hillary will be focused solely on her own poltical survival and the party will get thrown under the bus by its own President... AGAIN.

Her re-election campaign won't even pretend to help downticket candidates... Just like in 1996. If she wins, we get four more years of DLC triangulation. If she loses, we get President Huckabee.

On the other hand, if McCain wins, he lasts only one term(due to age or suckiness) and one way or another we end up with President Obama.

If Hillary manages to get the nomination, the choice is six years of Republican-style rule if she wins or four years if she loses.

So objectively, a McCain presidency would be slightly better than a Hillary one because there'd at least be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Now, after that brief unauthorized pause, a return to entertainment by the savage warmongers at The Stranger.

Ginsberg also can't hold out that long.

I think I liked Arkansas Hillary more than the current model, though she looks better now (IMO).
