yeah, she's sharing bill clinton.

.....But I bet if Obama wins and he asks her to be his VP running mate.....she will tell him to go fuck off.

+1. How arrogant is that? She is still trailing by a good margin and she has the nerve to say something like that. If anything it should have been Obama saying that after he rolled off 11 straight.

Neither will take the VP slot, IMO; it ties you to an administration you might not want to be tied to for a later run.

Example: If McCain were currently VP, he would stand no chance.

"she has the nerve"

part of the Rove-ian tactic of creating a lying, alternative reality (eg, the US Congress forced dubya into Iraq invasion).

Bill Clinton gratuitously sucking Rove's dick a couple months ago was in fact a forewarning of where the Clintons's were taking their campaign: swift-boat-y, filthy, personal, totally negative. It works, the Clintons use it.

Oh, how I wish I could photoshop. Hillary on top.

GGA, you're Hispanic right? It shows.

See... racial division as a political tool (looks at Hilary) can be fun.

yeah the only reason hispanics are voting for hillary is because she's hispanic and black folks are voting for obama because he's black..makes perfect sense..

with blacks voting at an 80% clip for Obama doesn't that have racial overtones?

Affinity politics is to be expected. Anti-racial politics is not.

So much for color blind arguments.

Damn sometimes it is just to easy. Mr. 86 calls me, what
was it? Doesn't matter, but he seems to be stuck on
stupid.

I was trying to make a point...

Joke flew right over your head. To be expected, I guess.

I think that Hispanics are just more comfortable with the Clinton name alone than Obama. Clinton has long has the support of the Hispanic voters. And I'm not a Hillary fan by no means!!

Obama/Richardson

well some may but that has nothing to do with me... At this point I don't think the dude is up for the job..

It sure did. Care to explain you "superior" humor in your
statement.

I've heard that more than once and I'm embarrassed and distancing from those with that line of thinking.

GGA was attacking boutons_ using an off-the-cuff racial remark meant to generalize all black people voting for Obama. I used the same against GGA, showing how it can effectively be used to generalize his support for Clinton.

Superior? Hardly.

Effective? I thought so.

It was an average rhetorical technique. Nothing brilliant. Which, I guess, says something about you, doesn't it?

I guess it does. I still don't get it. But guess it is
okay, I just generally don't think in racial terms. Political,
yeah.

But it is a political forum and politics are politics, like I
said last night. It is a dirty business.

Hey, some of my humor. Wonder if we could send this
in to what-his-face on "dirty jobs" and he would use it.
Just a thought. I like that program.

I love Dirty Jobs (Mike Rowe, I think. Right?). Awesome show.

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap.

Finally found some common ground..... :p: :lol

Joe, do you really watch the show?

I had to laugh and you know I don't normally talk dirt, but
he had one where they were harvesting some kind of
shell fish, I think it was, and when they pulled that thing
out of the muck it looked just like a penis. And you know him.

Wouldn't it be ironic if she will give Bill the VP spot. Co-presidents, right? Nothing in the constitution prevents former president Clinton from becoming VP. It is also tradition to address people by their highest title, therefore we would have two presidents in name!

then hillary would choose his interns......and i bet they all look like mccain.

I bet you didn't have a problem when Blacks were voting for B. Clinton or other Democratic canidates at an 80%+ clip but when it is against your prefered canidate it's a problem huh?

[boutons_]

Hillary is a long way numerically from winning. Who will be her Veep is hardly her priority. Baiting Obama supporters with the veep possibility is a fucking switcheroo.

I expect her hubby to be in the cabinet, maybe Secretary of State. He's been shmoozing with a lot of heads of state these past 7 years.

Well, ol' Billy boy knows all about head shmoozing...

Obama's people are saying they picked up 183 delegates Tuesday,while Hillary picked up 187, closing the gap on Obama by only 4 delegates.

Obama apparently has 50 superdelegates who will commit to him "this week"

Can anybody find anything, NOT coming from Hillary's camp, that she has a chance? I can't.

Looking the delegates, it's ova.

"When Senator Obama was confronted with questions over whether he was ready to be Commander-in-Chief and steward of the economy, he chose not to address those questions, but to attack Senator Clinton. I for one do not believe that imitating Ken Starr is the way to win a Democratic primary election for president."
Yeah, that whole Clinton-Obama/Obama-Clinton ticket idea? I'm not sure they're going to be able to repair some the relationship damage being done here.

I don't have a problem with black people.. none at all.. why are you so defensive? Do you have a problem with a certain race of people voting for someone soley on their race? I do...but this is America and we can all vote for who we want.. Hispanics, for whatever reason, like the Clintons but I can tell you it's not based on their race..

[Mr. Peabody]

IHispanics, for whatever reason, like the Clintons but I can tell you it's not based on their race..

No?



Obama, Activists Comment On Black, Hispanic Divide
Activist's Remarks Spark Strong Reactions From Local Hispanic, African American Leaders
DALLAS (CBS 11 News) ― In an interview with Tracy Rowlett, noted Latino community activist Adelfa Callejo told CBS 11 that Hispanics would not support a Black candidate in the Texas primary.

"Obama has the problem that he happens to be Black," said Callejo when asked if it was smart for Senator Barack Obama to reach out to Latino voters.

"When Blacks had the numbers, they didn't do anything to support us," said Callejo. "They always used our numbers to fulfill their goals and objectives, but they never really supported us, and there's a lot of hard feelings about that. I don't think we're going to get over it anytime soon."

She's not the only one. I've seen the same sentiment in my own family.
