Taylor Marsh Is A Liar. Does anyone really believe Taylor Marsh, of all people? If you want to waste your time, follow the latest Taylor tale. I don't even know what Marsh looks like. Does she think she's pretty too (like Ann Coulter?) I mean, you can just tell that Coulter is "feeling real purty" every time she brushes back the hair back from her face. Anywho, it turns out that the Clinton supporter was just confused. I wonder if the voter will change her mind after this incident.

Oh, you are probably wondering what the story is about. Like I said, go waste your time and read it for yourself. The Las Vegas Sun sure is "following up." Am I the only one who is enjoying getting to know a major newpaper from a city different than Washington and New York? Hmmmm, none of the NH papers resonated with me. An omen perhaps?

1) Marsh did not identify the eyewitness to the Paris incident as a Clinton supporter. Why not?

2) Marsh did not include any interview with the actual alleged victim, Sylvia Antuna. Why not? In an interview with the Sun, Antuna said the incident may have been more misunderstanding than intimidation.

3) Did Marsh attempt to reach the Culinary Union to get its response to the allegation? If not, why not?

4) Last year, Marsh accepted money from the Association of Federal, State, City and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), to blog at a Democratic event. AFSCME has endorsed Clinton and is a longtime ally of the Clinton family. Has Marsh taken payment from AFSCME recently? If so, how much?

  Hillary, Then, (December 15, 2003.)

I was one who supported giving President Bush the authority, if necessary, to use force against Saddam Hussein. I believe that that was the right vote. I have had many disputes and disagreements with the administration over how that authority has been used, but I stand by the vote to provide the authority because I think it was a necessary step in order to maximize the outcome that did occur in the Security Council with the unanimous vote to send in inspectors. And I also knew that our military forces would be successful. But what we did not appreciate fully and what the administration was unprepared for was what would happen the day after.

It has been a continuing theme of my criticism and others that we would be further along, we would have more legitimacy, we would diminish the opposition and resentment that is fueling whatever remains of the insurgency if we had been willing to move to internationalize our presence and further action in Iraq. I believe that today. And in fact, I think that we now have a new opportunity for the administration to do just that.

I have a whole slew of Hillary quotes. There is more to follow, as I put the evolution of her thinking into context.  ¶ 5:24 PM 0 comments

  Dick Durbin Calling It Like It Is. The Clintons are just throwing a lot of mud to confuse the voters. It worked in NH, but how many times can they play this hand? One resorts to these tactics when one is behind.

As for Obama's "inconsistency," what would Democrats say if Obama had fallen into the reporter's trap ... if he had spoken out against the war?  ¶ 12:56 AM 0 comments

  Bill Clinton Has No Class. He's a former president, for goodness sake. Trash talk reflects badly on the country, as well as the party. I'm done with the Clintons. They make me sick. The thought of them in the White House for another eight years is depressing. But I don't have to worry about it. Enough people, who don't pull the dem lever every two years like I do, hate her too. She'll never win. We'll get McCain and war without end.

STFU, Pres. and Sen. Clinton. You're making fools of yourselves and will be the laughing stock of the neocons. Hillary cried, Hillary lied, Hillary lost her cool, Hillary looked at top secret documents, Hillary doesn't have one major accomplishment to her name, Hillary was against the war before she was for the war. Hillary supported Bush even during the campaign...should I go on? I haven't even started with the first man. He was impeached for pity's sake. I ain't seen nothing like it.  ¶ 12:08 AM 0 comments

  Hillary lied. I watched the ABC national news today. The number two story was about Hill and Bill's recent comments. The two were stressing the BET founder who denounced Obama for statements that Obama, personally, didn't make. In all fairness, Obama didn't denounce them either, unless I missed something. The Clintons have been a staunch ally of minority groups, as the Clinton ally stated on the news. However, Hillary lied.  ¶ 11:14 PM 0 comments

  Obama Is Electable.
Pictures can say a thousand words ... from Bloomberg

Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton lead all the top Republican candidates in separate head-to-head match-ups for the 2008 election, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll.

Illinois Senator Obama received 49 percent support over Republican Arizona Senator John McCain's 48 percent; 56 percent support compared with 40 percent for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani; 59 percent against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's 37 percent; and 58 percent compared with 39 percent for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.

New York Senator Clinton received 50 percent over McCain's 48 percent in a head-to-head match-up; 58 percent support against Romney's 40 percent; 55 percent compared with Giuliani's 42 percent; and 56 percent compared with 42 percent for Huckabee.

Obama is still ahead of Clinton in Google Trends. It looks like a big spike.  ¶ 1:16 PM 0 comments

  Clinton Supporters Are Suing A Nevada Union. Unions suing unions. Shame on the teachers. No wonder Hillary considers a teacher to be so important that a couple of them made it to her master list of supporters in Georgia, as important as a state legislator.

  Obama vs Clinton. I've Got Georgia On My Mind. Clinton has a handful of state representatives and mayors. I guess teachers are VIPs, although I got a chuckle out of the couple of teachers on the list. Do you think that black voters won't turn out after looking at the list below? Obama will win Georgia, with no problem. South Carolina too. It's going to be a strategic battle. If Hillary would calm down, it would be a great race.

Now for Obama.

  More Recount News Voting officials fixed the "human error" in Sutton County, New Hampshire. Did they look to see if their fix caused an overvote? Inquiring minds want to know. A search of their website shows a hit for this article. Google does too. However, I didn't find a mention of Sutton County anywhere on the page. Oh well. After remembering Nader's attempt at a recount, I'm rethinking my Hillary prediction. However, there was a real problem in Sutton County. I wonder if they bothered to check the other candidates. Sickening.   ¶ 10:16 AM 0 comments

  The Brad Blog Has All The Recount News. Send him some love.

I read the reports about precincts where Kucinich supposedly didn't get one vote. Voters stepped forward, saying that they had cast theirs votes for him. This is how it started in Florida. Voters said that the machines were changing their votes. Well, now the NH skeptics are being called paranoid. I was told that I walked around with a tinfoil hat. What is so paranoid about saying you cast a vote and there's proof positive that it wasn't counted? Count the paper ballots and verify the results. It's not paranoia. It's American.

This primary underscores the need for paper ballots. This primary proves that election reform is not a partisan issue. The results of the manual recount won't make a whit of difference in the results. What it will do is to either restore our faith in the electoral process. Or else it will open a can of worms. I am looking forward to finally finding out just how flawed our voting system really is. I predict an Obama win, only because I know from first hand exprerience that the machines are pieces of crap. They are like banks left unlocked for any crook to discover. Sadly. we will soon witness that election results are simply cooked up. Like Hillary's goose. You can bank on it.  ¶ 8:10 AM 0 comments

  Recount! Oh my. I haven't been reading the news. I'm in love. I can't believe that someone feels exactly the same way about his Mercedes W123 as I do about my 1984 turbo diesel. My car can do what the car in the video does. You can manipulate the automatic transmission, down shift. You look cool because the car performs with class. It higs the roads over severe bumps and sharp turns. The speedometer in my car only goes up to 120 mpg. But it's the same engine. no? I can't wait to drive upstate. There are miles of straight highway with no troopers.   ¶ 12:23 AM 0 comments

  Take the fork out of the old girl. Her goose ain't cooked yet.

Hillary's win is a good thing. I want my future president to be able to withstand much tougher circumstances than a loss in the primary. The Hillary Machine is awesome. Obviously, it will make a good president. but I'd feel a lot safer with Obama. The ball is in his court now ... and everybody knows that Bo's got game.

From my armchair, Obama needs to ditch the rhetoric and get back to basics. Who the hell cares about movements, when you are worrying about basic survival ... and the Obama campaign certainly doesn't want to suggest revolution. Obama needs votes not converts.  ¶ 4:30 PM 0 comments

  You gotta love Hillary's advisers. I kept thinking, during the debate last night, that Hillary was saying all the right things. But, when you put her words in context of the debate, she was ineffective. It was obvious that she was spouting sound bites.

The outburst about how she's been working for change was planned. Do you really think that she lost control? It just came across rather badly for her, because it was the wrong strategy. She simply needed to reconnect with the voters. She didn't need to attack the other candidates.

Stick a fork in Hillary. She's done.  ¶ 7:44 AM 0 comments

  Obama's Historic Primary Victory! The grand state of Iowa will go down in the history books. It's glorious. There is a great read about the history of moments like these. I'm happy for Iowa.

  Iowa. I'm freezing here waiting for the caucus to begin. The temperature here in South Florida was the same last night as it is today in Iowa. In any event, I think that there will be a huge turnout, just like the predictions say, and I predict a landslide for Obama. People want to be part of something bigger than themselves, and Obama's message is tailored to that belief. People want to be a part of history and be able to say, "I was there."  ¶ 5:29 PM 0 comments

  Hey Hillary, "Are You Experienced?"

But in two confident television appearances, on CNN and ABC, Clinton made an elementary error about Pakistani politics: She described President Pervez Musharraf as a "candidate" who would be "on the ballot."

In fact, Musharraf was reelected to the presidency in October. The upcoming elections are for parliament, and while Musharraf's party will be facing off against opposition parties, the president himself is not a candidate.

Sunday was not a good day for Hill. Fortunately, no one has caught on, yet.  ¶ 7:38 PM 0 comments
