I thought so. BTW, I passed along your 'star' comment.

:D

Well here we go, Pennsylvania... final polls say I was wrong about a Bama revival. The Real Clear Politics poll average is a 6 point win for Hillary, but big pollster Zogby says undecideds are breaking Hill's way and will give her a double digit win.

How does he know? I like it better when the pollsters get it wrong. It's fun to watch the sport of it.

I'm watching you Pennsylvanians with bated breath, whatever that is!

Clinton by 10 or less...I think it'll be a hollow victory.

Hillary will win PA by around 5 points but this won't help her. She'll still be pressured to drop out.

They'll have to drag Hill off the stage at the convention in chains with a ballgag in her mouth before she'll step aside.

It's looking more and more like this thing is going to run all the way to the convention. :-/

Hooray for divisive politics! It's a great time to invest in advertising companies specializing in smear campaigns!

Ha Ha [/nelsonfromsimpsons]

President Obama Continues Hectic Victory Tour

By Dana Milbank
Wednesday, July 30, 2008; A03

Wow - and all this after the trip abroad. This is just great. Its also another reason I think politicians should quit their current job before going after the next one.

The latest making the email chain letter rounds.

I depend on that age old military maxim: The first report is always suspect.

Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to "The War Zone". I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram. As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service. So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you. I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country. If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

Ah crap, my boss sent that to me and I immediately found on snopes that he "retracted" that email and had not expected it to be forwarded all over the place, and asked that it not be forwarded or posted.

Anyway, I asked for no more political stuff to be forwarded to me and I'd rather make up my own mind.

Thanks, what I figured.

Are you going to contact the person who sent it to you and inform them that they are spreading lies?

Spreading lies? I don't look at most information passed in that manner. People have strong political emotions and I could easily ask those questions about things posted about Bush or Obama or McCain.

FTR I did send them the snopes link.

I understand this wasn't aimed at me, but its funny - I have told my mother that numerous times and hit "reply all" to her emails refuting the garbage spread. I don't get too many of them from her anymore.

good for you. There is too much ignorance in the world already to be spreading false stuff around.

Oh, and I forgot to mention it came from my wife. Who got it from one of her best friends who is the wife of a WO-5 and one of the most senior WO's in Army Aviation. I am sure she got it from someone else as well. I will just have to make sure the wife passes on the Snopes link when I get off work in another 36 hours.

I guess we can scratch Edwards off the VP list...

Poor John, I guess the National Enquirer reports actually may have some truth to it. Reports state that the birth certificate of his former Mistress is missing the name for the father. Time will tell.

One of his staffers is claiming to be the father of the baby, and I don't think the mistress is saying it's Edwards' either.

I never thought he had it in him; he always seemed pretty namby-pamby to me.

People like Edwards are surrounded by others who are willing to fall on a landmine for them. Anyone in that political group has them.

A Clinton aide is bitchin now that she woulda coulda shoulda won if this had come out earlier...

That doesn't even make sense. Why would Edwards' scandal have hurt Obama while helping her?

Well, she probably hasn't fathered any love-children....

They both have racist unionist appeal?

He felt that the electoral votes that Edwards won MAY have gone to her. Had that happened...

Actually, it isn't true though. for example...

I wouldn't believe dailykos if they told me today was Tuesday - sorry.

But again - the Clinton aide was the one whining - not me. I'm glad she lost.

Second.

Yeah, if Mark Penn had his way, the Clintons would all but make Blacks start a new third party and run them out of Harlem. Good thing the Clintons adjusted in midstream, and make it on this side of a halfway decent primary fight. What a schmuck Penn was. If the Republicans had operatives in the Democatic party, they would do no better than Penn.

[cynic] Apparently Obama and McCain got together at one of those mega-churches where people go to be anonymous before God. That probably isn't fair but for someone raised in rural community churches it just looks like spiritual fast food. People in large single minded groups where the individual submits to group will make me nervous whether they're Cub Scouts, metal heads, Christians or [godwin]Nazis[/godwin]. The ever creepy neo-com William Kristol did manage to tease out a difference between McCain and Obama on the question of confronting evil. From my reading of it McCain will follow the Bush plan of feeding evil by commiting disproportionate evil and Obama won't really say. For a while I was feeling good that Bush would leave and things would improve, but these guys weaken the positive vibrations.[/cynic]

The only 'Evil' the US confronts are the 'evil-doers' who are in the way of what the US wants. The government paints it with the 'We are the Do-Gooders' brush stroke to make its actions more palatable to its voting public. I wish I could hear one of them, one day, say that our oil chasing days are over and we all better start tightening our seat belts because energy independence is going to start out as a really rough ride.

Well sorry but we are not "chasing oil". I have no idea where you go that idea from but if you could provide us with some non-partisan original source links to that notion I would love to read them. We all certainly know that neither China nor India are chasing any oil reserves in any nefarious capacity.

Can you prove that? How about if you could provide us with some non-partisan original source links to that notion, I would love to read them. :p

What about the part where, McCain says that making 4500000 dollars a year, yes, 4.5 million a year, is middle class?

Talking about what it means to be rich, what is middle class and what is upper class:

When I heard an Obama ad, touting his plans to benefit the "middle class", I was wondering how he defined "middle class"?
Most people say, I ain't poor and I ain't rich, so I must be middle class. It's a wonderful term that don't mean shit. :rolleyes:

I am still waiting for someone to define rich.

Too much chocolate.

Mrs Levy, seems to have done that. ;)
