(Update)Clinton: I get Orgasmic seeing Obama and Hillary Fight

Tue Jan 22, 2008 at 04:49:45 PM PDT

This is a wake up call. We have to live with this kind of headlines if Hillary is our nominee.
I am not making this up. Ok, maybe for "Orgasmic" which I define as the peak of uncontrollable excitement, characterized by strong feelings of pleasure and by a series of involuntary contractions of the major muscles of the body, usually accompanied by the wagging of the finger violently, bitting of the lips, acting unpresidential and behaving like a thug and/or a hooligan in a campaign event for the entire world to see.

Further, any other connotation of Orgasmic fits, since everything is sexual to this womanizer/adulterer.

"I kinda like seeing Barack and Hillary fight," Clinton non-chalantly admitted to the crowd at one point.

Obama: Hillary is not ready to lead on day one

Fri Jan 18, 2008 at 04:40:50 PM PDT

Senator Clinton has said she is ready to lead from day one, but it's important on day one to get it right, whether you're talking about war or you’re talking about economic proposals... I've been less worried about making political points on these things, but getting them right.

Senator Barack Obama, D-Ill., told a Reno crowd that the economy is deteriorating rapidly, and criticized his main opponent, Senator Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., alleging a change in her economic stimulus package.

Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 11:10:28 AM PDT

This good governor reminds us why this election cycle is bigger than any individual and why it is not about being liberal, conservative, white, Black, etc but about the United States of America and its place in fast moving world.  

The Republican governor of South Carolina wrote an op-ed in the state’s largest paper Friday in which he spoke admiringly of Democratic candidate Barack Obama's candidacy, and urged voters to think about the significance of the Illinois senator’s White House run as they make their presidential picks.

Obama On Track To Win Biden and Richardson Support (W/Links)

Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 04:55:41 PM PDT

Des Moines--Barack Obama has already begun shoring up support among the lower-tier candidates who lack the money or poll numbers to be serious contenders in the early primary states, such as Iowa, and Offthebus hears that "agreements" with these candidates may be announced soon.

None of the campaigns I spoke with - on or off the record - are prone to hand their support over to John Edwards, who is busy today flying around the state for his final push to win - and therefore, survive until New Hampshire, where his poll numbers continue to fall far behind either Clinton or Obama.

Biden Rips Edwards on Electability and Honesty

Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 05:04:40 PM PDT

Edwards, electable? Not so much, according to a blistering memo out this afternoon from Biden Communications Director Larry Rasky.

In short, if John Edwards is so electable, why couldn’t he be re-elected in his home state?"

He then hits Edwards for not carrying his home state as part of the Kerry-Edwards 2004 presidential ticket, and that they even lost Edwards’ home county.

Even better:

The memo ends with, "These are the facts. Wishing you all a happy and thoughtful New Year.  Larry."

Edwards drops Mellon from remarks but keeps her money

Sun Dec 30, 2007 at 08:37:13 AM PDT

Last month at a town hall meeting in Bow, N.H., Edwards referenced the Mellon family as part of the Gilded Age interests and used it as an example of how he’ll fight back against special interests if he’s elected.

Edwards said "back in the period where, you know, the Rockefellers and the Mellons and the Carnegies, all these people, owned most of America or a big chunk of America and they used their money and power to dominate what was happening in the government and to dominate what was happening in the economy."

On Saturday, Edwards had dropped the Mellons from his remarks.

Disclaimer: This diary is not done on Obama's behalf it is factual and John Edwards has not challenged LA Times and others about its contents.

In their most recent financial disclosure, the Alliance for New America revealed that they had raised $495,000 from Oak Springs Farms, LLC. Oak Springs is funded through the assets of Rachel Mellon, who is 97-years old.

Because Edwards is all talk, and will never walk the walk. If you don't believe me watch the video.
After viewing this video, can you really Trust John Edwards? I cant. I doubt the sincerity of John Edwards on the subject of healthcare, War on Poverty, Vote to Authorize the War in Iraq, Economic Stimulus package, progressive agenda and on any of the issues he is proposing during this primary because John talks the talk but will never walk the walk. As shown in his own words, John Edwards was for the war before he was against it, he was for the Bankruptcy bill before he was against it, he was against 527s before and now he is for it and the list goes on.

He basically apologized for his entire record in the Senate. North Carolinians should demand their money back because the people of North Carolina deserved better.

Bush, on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president — Bush's son, George W. Bush.

Hillary Clintonand Barack Obama are in a statistical dead heat in the state, and much of the lead Senator Clinton had in August has evaporated.

Over half the expected Democratic vote in 2008 will be in the African American community. As expected, Barack Obama is drawing heavily from this group, over three-quarters of his supporters are African-American. Senator Clinton is drawing over half her support from this cohort as well.

NYT: Hillary, living in the W H at 45 to 53 isn't Experience

Wed Nov 21, 2007 at 04:51:38 PM PDT

Is living in the White House between the ages of 45 and 53 count for foreign policy experience? Hillary: Kabuki Congressional junkets count for something.

Why does Hillary keep beating that same "experience" drum? It's a false note. She likes to claim that she is the candidate of experience, but in actuality Obama has MORE years of elected experience than she does. Being First Lady does not mean that you're experienced? Should Laura Bush run for office as well?

Is this what they taught her in Wessely College? I think not because

how insulting for feminists to have a woman running for President of the United States who's riding her husband's coattails. I'd love to have a woman president, but I want one who's running on her OWN platform, her OWN experience. Not the experience of her husband.

Obama Picks Up a Coveted Endorsement in N.H.

Sat Nov 10, 2007 at 12:30:10 PM PDT

This is huge because two days after a poll showed Obama cutting her lead to 10 points.  and

The Clinton strategy in NH relies very heavily on endorsements, key (they believe) to projecting inevitability; they have pursued them much more doggedly than Obama and have had much success. But this endorsement comes at a very good time for Obama, on the heels of Hillary's shaky debate performance and two days after a poll showed Obama cutting her lead to 10 points.

This endorsement, as all endorsements, isn't going to change a ton of voters' minds about who to support, but it does feed into the newly fashionable storyline that doubt about Hillary is growing in NH and her that inevitability is finally being questioned. (Lenore Patton's husband Gary, mentioned in her endorsement letter, is the Democratic municipal chairman in the town of Hampton, about 10 miles south of Portsmouth.)

ABC NEWS:  Edwards Iowa Ad lacks Diversity not a single Black

Sat Nov 03, 2007 at 06:40:09 PM PDT

It does not even include a single African American. Ad Like this are not easily put together. While Edwards’s campaigns in South Carolina with African Americans he carefully threw blacks under the bus in a predominantly white state like Iowa.

Jake Tapper of ABC news observes:

I'm not one to watch an ad with an abacus counting off minorities, and I realize this is an ad aimed at Iowa. But it seemed a little odd to me, frankly, for a 60-second (that's long) ad targeted at Democratic primary voters focused on "the American people" -- in a campaign focused on poverty -- to not have one single African-American.
