Huckabee: Obama assasination = funny
POSTED ON | PERMALINK |0 Comments | BOOKMARK

"That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair, he's getting ready to speak," said the former Arkansas governor, to audience laughter. "Somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor."
Not many audiences are receptive to jokes about shooting presidential candidates, but then most audiences aren't the NRA.

Loyalty matters most to Hillary. Sound familiar?
POSTED ON 5/08/2008 | PERMALINK |0 Comments | BOOKMARK

From Time Magazine:
Clinton picked people for her team primarily for their loyalty to her, instead of their mastery of the game.
Do a quick search at Google News for "bush" and "loyalty" to see how frequently this sort of thing has played at part in the numerous Bush Administration failures/scandals.

What about the Clinton Defectors? + Silly Gas Tax Holidays
POSTED ON 5/05/2008 | PERMALINK |0 Comments | BOOKMARK
Some info from Huffpo:

If Wright's association with Obama has done damage to the senator's image, is it not fair to ask what the myriad defections by a number of highly respected aides and supporters say about Clinton?

  • This week, former Democratic National Committee Chair and superdelegate, Joe Andrew switched his support from Clinton to Obama.
  • Former Ambassador to Chile Gabriel Guerra-Mondragon, a major fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, recently left the campaign apparently to hold a similar position with Obama.
  • Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich, recently endorsed Obama.
  • New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson's recent endorsement of Obama has been viewed by some as duplicity of the highest order.
  • Greg Craig, who served as special counsel to Bill Clinton during his impeachment; Anthony Lake, former National Security Adviser, have thrown their support to Obama.
  • Hollywood media mogul David Geffen, once a Clinton supporter who was reported to have raised $18 million for the former president, decided to hold a fundraiser for Obama.
Perhaps this video can help explain why supporters are fleeing the Clinton campaign:
