The Casey Endorsement: One inexperienced Senator endorsing another inexperienced Senator

[DemVet]

Face it, that's what it amounts to.

[tekisui]

1. The Democratic Senator of PA endorsed the next President,

that is what it "ammounts" to.

[polpilot]

45. McCain's 'experienced, Bush's 'experienced', Pro-War, Pro-NAFTA Clinton's 'experienced

Rock on Bama!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoxFan]

2. An influential and respected US Senator

from a popular Pennsylvania political family, who represents one of Hillary Clinton's base demographics (working class Catholics) endorses the better candidate for President, Barack Obama.

[DemVet]

10. A rookie...

...that has accomplished little, just like Obama.

[SoxFan]

20. I'll take him over Jack Murtha, thank you

[jedr]

38. why don't you go kick the cat instead of fighting with the people ;

Here? In the first place, considering that Bob Casey's father was the Governor of Pa. , he's had more political experience than Hillary and Obama together. Next Casey has done more to help the people of Pa. in his few short years in office than Rick Santorum did in 12. You obviously have no idea of what your talking about and just looking for a fight.....please go somewhere else.

[DemVet]

42. No.

I will not go someplace else. Somebody has to put you Obama worshippers in your place.

I'm happy to do it.

[Mooney]

48. You couldn't put anyone in their place if you tried.

You of course have every right to stay here and nobody has the right to make you leave. But do you honestly think anyone's been humbled by you?

[MBS]

14. you got it exactly right. Thanks. n/t

[CatnHat]

57. Boy, are you wrong---

Casey, Jr. is not popular--I am from PA and I can vouch for that. As far as demographics, Casey, Jr. has absolutely no clout with the Catholics here.

My money's on Gov. Ed Rendell, Luke(Mayor of Pittsburgh); Mayor of Philly; John Murtha, Mayor of Erie; and so on who all endorsed Hillary Clinton.

[dkf]

3. It is amazing how once a person endorses Obama or a state votes for Obama

they suddenly are of no consequence.

Its the insult 40 states strategy, only with superdelegates.

And some people are touting Hillary for Senate Majority Leader so that she can lead people like this "inexperienced Senator".

Yeah dissing Casey is a really great idea...NOT.

[EFerrari]

4. More Clinton math.

lol

[Guava Jelly]

5. It amounts to a Super Delagate vote

You sort of need those to win..
This is a silly thread

[dkf]

18. When I think of Chelsea trying to get the superdelegate vote of that kid in Wisconsin...

I just have to laugh.

[Rene]

6. I suggest folks check out this site for the t r u t h

www.attacktimeline.com

Obama's and his internet bloggers that fan out with attack rhetoric have run one of the nastiest campaigns I've ever seen.

Go Hillary.....take the fight all the way to the Convention.
Media, pundits and pollsters do not have any right telling the American voter who should 'drop out'.
They're just filling air time with drivel.
Politics is no tea party.
May the best candidate, Hillary, win!

[EFerrari]

7. LOL

[nxylas]

25. OK, I checked out that site

None of the attacks on there seemed especially outrageous. On the one hand, you say "politics is no tea party", on the other hand you call for the smelling salts any time Obama says a word against his opponent. There was nothing in that attack timeline that compares to releasing the Somali photo, or endorsing McCain over Obama, or "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina, you know" in terms of nastiness.

[cali]

8. We'll see what it "ammounts" to

on April 22nd. Only one thing is certain: It can't hurt Obama. Casey is popular among those he needs to reach. Oh, and more long serving Senators have endorsed Obama than Hilly. Kerry, Kennedy, Durbin, Leahy, etc. Tough for you, little hillbot.

9. How would that sentence be any different, if he had endorsed Hillary?

[DemVet]

13. Well, I'd say she's a little more experience than either one, for one thing.

[DerekJ]

16. You are talking about "Senator Osama", Right??!!

Get da fuck out of here.

[DemVet]

17. You're REALLY going to get your feelings hurt in the GE.

If Obama is the nominee, that is.

[DerekJ]

23. Look at the flag in my avatar MORON.

[DemVet]

41. Yeah, I saw your flag..I read your profile.

My statement still stands. You'll still be whining about how "it isn't fair" when the RW attack dogs smear your candidate...if and when he's the nominee.

Why you post so much on an American political board is beyond me. You people have enough of your own shit to worry about.

[JoFerret]

53. Stop the name calling

Please.

[Window]

39. See, it's shit like this is why Clinton supporters are always getting their asses handed to them.

Then you want to whine about how badly Senator Obama's supporters are treating you. You people are the nastiest whiners I've ever seen. You can dish it out, but you can't take it when it's thrown back at you. Fucking hypocrites.

[DemVet]

47. Asses handed to them?

Not by you.

[CTLawGuy]

37. you're talking about acutal experience

not made-up fantasy experience, right?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

11. Do you understand who the Caseys are?

The Caseys are basically Pennsylvania's equivalent of the Kennedys. Bob Casey Jr. is immensely popular. Geographically speaking, he won almost every area outside of Philly when he ran for governor against Rendell. Casey's father was a very popular governor. There's hardly a bigger endorsement you can get in Pennsylvania, with the exception of Rendell himself.

Edit to add: He's also the man who took down Rick Santorum. Ya, he's popular amongst PA dems.

[JoFerret]

15. One deeply conservative senator

being endorsed by another.

[dkf]

19. I could have sworn another one of you was attacking Obama for being Liberal.

You really have to get your stories straight.

[JoFerret]

21. Are you

fantasying about multiple personalities again?

<<All you Obama people are the same. You all think and say the same thing ALL the time. You agree on everything an all speak in one voice all the time.>>

Does that make any sense to you? It doesn't to me.

My problem with Obama - one of them at least - is that he is not at all progressive. He is cautious,conservative, unskilled and unschooled on economic and social issues.

He is a "hate the sin...love the sinner" type and that gives me the creeps.

[chascarrillo]

24. Unschooled on social issues??? Not at all progressive???

I really think that you need to step back, take a breather, and educate yourself on the candidates.

[JoFerret]

51. Perhaps our definitions on these issues are different.

I am concerned about a range os social and economic issues should Obama become president and do believe that more progress would be made with a Clinton presidency and for a number of specific reasons.

Time will tell.

I do think that if we have a president Obama we will need to pile on the pressure. The opposition will be fierce and any any wavering will be perceived as weakness. i worry about him getting rolled.

[Adelante]

22. Clinton wouldn't have wanted that one, then?

I guess it's all good.

[stevenleser]

29. LOL, right? Talk about sour grapes. Its amazing Hillbots dont see how embarrassing OPs like this are

to them. They actually think they are accomplishing something for their candidate this way. Unbelievable! :spray:

:rofl:

[Vinca]

26. Sorry, Casey is a great endorsement. The blue collar workers

love him, the Catholics love him . . . it's a huge endorsement for Obama. Just because Casey hasn't faced sniper fire . . . as far as we know . . . it doesn't make him inexperienced.

[stevenleser]

27. States Obama won dont matter, his endorsements dont matter, his delegates/voters dont matter...

his stances on the issues dont matter. Only his pastor matters...gotcha

:sarcasm:

[EFerrari]

28. Former pastor.

lol

[stevenleser]

31. True, thanks for the catch...

:toast:

[DemVet]

46. I guess Obama's character doesn't matter

to one like you. Only simple little catch-phrases like "Yes we can" and "Hope" and "Dream" matters. The masses are always attracted by shiny little objects.

[kstewart33]

30. And if he had endorsed Hillary? nt

[stevenleser]

34. Then Hillbots would be joyfully waving the endorsement in our faces...

They do excel at sour grapes...

[izzybeans]

32. The Dodo Birds are chattering themselves off a cliff.

it's quite funny. I found this video of some of the last Clinton supporters.

[RBInMaine]

33. And what's Hillary's "experience"? SniperGate? IrelandGate? Walmart Board? Rose Law Firm?

[Warren Stupidity]

35. What a relief. At least Casey isn't a Judas. nt.

[Vinca]

40. As far as we know . . .

:rofl:

[Stuckinthebush]

36. Oh, Jebus

Lord, please help these silly posters. Amen.

[dchill]

43. Hertz Donut?

:shrug:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

44. Bob Casey doesn't count!

:eyes:

[Mooney]

49. Hillary Clinton is an inexperienced senator herself.

All of her claims of "experience" are total resume-padding horseshit. If she goes up against McCain and tries that shit he'll tear her to pieces, since he has actual experience.

[still_one]

50. Obama had more experience than Bill Clinton did when he ran. If experience is you point

it doesn't work. Hillary has 4 more years in the Senate the Barrack

If you want to debate real issues between the candidates that makes sense, but for people to throw out intangible nonesense as though that really matters does nothing for either of the candidates

1. What are their positions on Healthcare
2. What are their positions on Social Security
3. What are their positions on the Iraq war
4. What are their positions on the war on terrorism
5. What are their positions on jobs and the economy
6. What are their positions on the environment
7. What about illegal immigrants
8. Compare and contrast their voting records and their positions

No, lets continue to ignore the issues, and have each side try to piss each other off by making inane dribble

[mikekohr]

52. Would It Be Possible To Quit Slamming Our Fellow Democrats

and kicking our selves in the nuts? Just a thought.

54. AWWWWW!!!! POOR BABY!!!!!!!!!

Jealous little baby!

[Johnny__Motown]

55. OMG.. another.. this one doesn't count.... post????

Let's face it.



Casey's supporters are Hillary's demographic. This hurts her and helps him even if you refuse to see it.

[americanstranger]

56. Hey, how are those grapes?

You sound like they're pretty sour.
