By Mike Finnigan Thursday Jun 05, 2008 10:00amAmygdala: Clean Slate Day. There will be a few scorched earth dead-enders, but grownup progressives will see the wisdom in unity. Hillary didn't lose the race, Barack won it.
MoJo Blog: Ten House races all headed in one direction
VetVoice: A big story about the Bush plan to keep Iraq under US control after he's long gone and on the lam. The timing could also boost that ingrate, McSame.

I hate to be the one to break it you guys but Barak is going to make it, and so is everyone that rides with him.
Clintonites, get over yourselves and your sexist bullshit. I would love a woman President, but not one that was on the board of
Walmart, not one that believes in "coercive diplomacy", not one that voted for the war, and not one that runs a campaign into the
ground. Get Amy Goodman to run, I will vote for her. But this time it's Barak. I never pray being an atheist it makes me feel dirty,
but I pray Barak survives!!!!
"Bob Johnson, Hillary's billionare minstrel" Absolutely perfect. Bob Johnson has Clarence Thomas, Juan Williams, Condi credibility in the black community.
boosh on the lam?
That's unpossible!
Here in Texas we hump cattle.

If Hillary were Barack's running mate, what better life insurance policy could he have?
Re: crashing cranes
When I was at Ohio State in the mid-90's, they were building a new basketball arena next to one of the busiest roads going into campus. In the middle of morning rush hour traffic, one of the workers was drive a mobile crane around along a steep slope. It fell over and instantly killed a driver.
Apparently, the crane operator was known to be a heavy drinker by the construction company and was likely drunk at the time. Not even two weeks later, another crane fell at the same site and crushed a statue across the street paying tribute to cancer victims.
The whole thing was a sick joke. Mind you, this was over ten years ago and apparently nothing has still been done to improve safety standards.

Just to clarify, a car driver was killed. The crane operator walked away without a scratch.
The "four reasons why Clinton supporters need to elect Obama" is an excellent one. Besides, Obama could always nominate Hillary to fill one of those positions when they become vacant.
Washington Post: Investors' appetite for oil evades market limits
Sounds like the work of RepubliScum ..
ysbaddaden @ 4:
you make a good point, but, as President Carter said in a recent interview about Hillary as VP...
"the worst mistake that could be made."
"That would just accumulate the negative aspects of both candidates," Carter told the Guardian, saying that both candidates' vulnerabilities could overshadow that the ticket if the two team up together.
"If you take that 50 percent who just don't want to vote for Clinton and add it to whatever element there might be who don't think Obama is white enough or old enough or experienced enough or because he's got a middle name that sounds Arab, you could have the worst of both worlds," he said.
also that set Hillary up for a run in 2016, and she should never get that chance
Biggest increase in unemployment in 22 years. Recession, anyone?!!!
Big News from Wonkette about the meeting between Obama and Clinton last night.
http://wonkette.com/400268/hillary-baracks-very-special-bilderberg-date-...
"Guess who had a very private talky-talk in (maybe) romantic Northern Virginia tonight, probably at the Bilderberg Group meeting in Chantilly? Your Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton!," states the blog. "They really met and talked, in private, Thursday night. And really, it sounds like they did this at that creepy Bilderberg Group meeting, which is happening now, and which is so secret that nobody will admit they’re going, even though everybody who is anybody goes to Bilderberg."

hey, OSU, sweet. i saw pink floyd at cooper stadium in like 94-95....
i went to a dif univ, but visited buckeye country many a times
Hey - my first two choices didn't make it; Kucinich and then Edwards. There were times during the primary when my own perception told me that Hillary was using Rovian tactics - and I uttered the phrase, "I can't support Hillary if she's resorting to THAT!" But I knew that I would eat those words had Hillary been the nominee. Four more years of neoconjobism would be the extension of a disaster that, already, may take decades to undo. I would have voted for Hillary, keeping in mind that she is more liberal than Obama.
I will vote for Obama even though he was not my first choice. We have been living through some dark times; we need an end to that.
Mick Fowler @ 14:
those were my first choices too.... but, unlike you, i couldn't have voted for hillary. hillary seems to be more of an opportunist than a liberal, and, seeing as bill was anything but a liberal, i fear what her admin might have been like.
not to mention the clinton machine and its direct link to the washington consensus, as seen in the bolivian election about 6 years ago.
i think, for me, the clinton-era is dead.
1966 - Black activist James Meredith was shot and wounded as he walked along a Mississippi highway to encourage black voter registration.
1968 - Sen. Robert F. Kennedy died at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, a day after he was shot by Sirhan Bishara Sirhan.
I honestly can't understand why Hillary would want to be VP.
Sure, it would salve her wounds, and it might please some of her supporters, but:
1) The VP does precious little (unless his name is Cheney);
2) If she DID do much it could make a mess of Obama's Presidency;
3) There are doubtless better ways to use Hillary in an Obama Administration;
4) Half the country hates her - putting her on the ticket could alienate more votes than it gains.
.. just my two cents ..
ysbaddaden @ 4:
Dick Cheney?
ysbaddaden @ 3:
Just look at Chimpy, his whole demeanor screams sheep worrier.
marko @ 1:
How do you guys become so paranoid about everything?
Nothing is going to happen to him. The worst that will happen is he'll lose in November and go back to being a Junior Senator.
Man lighten up already.
Tom Delay took sometime off from beating his wife to say that Obama is a Marxist.
Felon Delay is morally and intellectually bankrupt and why he's not being *ssreamed in prison right now is beyond me.
Did Iranian intelligence agents infiltrate the American government and shift American policy on Iraq?
http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2008/06/06/the-weakest-links/
Defense Department counterintelligence investigators suspected that Iranian exiles who provided dubious intelligence on Iraq and Iran to a small group of Pentagon officials might have "been used as agents of a foreign intelligence service ... to reach into and influence the highest levels of the U.S. government," a Senate Intelligence Committee report said Thursday.

And well he should. Real cowboys simply hate barbed wire and sheep
And colors that clash.
If Hillary ever became vice president would she ever slip in refering to Obama as, "My husband and myself..."?
Morgan Stanley analysts predict oil prices could hit $150 by the Fourth of July.
Congress? Hello?
A little something I snagged from our good friends over at the POAC site...
