1. If she's sounding like a populist, then she's stealing campaign theme
There is nothing populist about a pro-war, corporate favorite candidate.

4. Hillary and Obama have both been adopting Edwards' message...
That's fine ~ just hope they're in it for the long haul.

6. She may sound like it, but she is as far as you can get from it.

15. Are you anti-choice?
Because he was protecting a womans right to choose.

Planned Parenthood Says Obama's Present Votes On Choice Are "Leadership Votes." "'We at Planned Parenthood view those as leadership votes,' Pam Sutherland, the president and CEO of the Illinois Planned Parenthood Council, told ABC News. 'We worked with him specifically on his strategy. The Republicans were in control of the Illinois Senate at the time. They loved to hold votes on 'partial birth' and 'born alive'. They put these bills out all the time...because they wanted to pigeonhole Democrats...Sutherland said Obama approached her in the late 1990s and worked with her and others in crafting the strategy of voting 'present.' She remembers meeting with Obama outside of the Illinois Senate chambers on the Democratic side of the aisle. She and Obama finished their conversation in his office. 'He came to me and said: 'My members are being attacked. We need to figure out a way to protect members and to protect women,' said Sutherland in recounting her conversation with Obama. 'A present vote was hard to pigeonhole which is exactly what Obama wanted.'

16. As Mike Barnacle said just before the NV caucus on MSNBC
"The Clinton's will say say anything, they will do anything, to get back in the WH.

They are deperate to be back in power."


I think the man knows what he's talking about.

17. Why, yes!
They had such great times there; plus, they're so poor they need the money.
