[Aloha Spirit]

1. thankyou!

[flpoljunkie]

3. Absolutely love your signature line, beat tk!

[Aloha Spirit]

30. Aw, thanks, it's Michael Moore, of all people.

[caseycoon]

9. OOPS Wrong place. YAY! Another "Pix-Fix"

Great as usual!
Thanks, I needed them!
:hi:
Thanks flpoljunkie!

[JimGinPA]

2. Seriously, Do You Work For AP Or The Campaign?

There's no other way you could always get all these great pics posted so quickly!

K&R

[flpoljunkie]

4. No to both questions.

[satireV]

5. Interesting

BHO can't win the MI delegates. Other than trying to pander to the workers why would he go to MI after losing so big in West Virginia?

Oh yeah I almost forgot.. May 31st Dem Rules Committe meeting.

[stillcool]

7. He's campaigning for the General?

Didn't you know? Where've you been?

[satireV]

14. Yeah I noticed he started to wear his flag lapel pin now

Even in the Michigan photos he is wearing it. He is trying to move toward the center. Will be interesting to see if he can do that and maintina support from the left.

[beachmom]

18. Actually, he tends to wear the pin to more patriotic events with veterans in attendance.

[satireV]

20. That's expedient! :)

[onenote]

36. yes it is. Just as its expedient for HRC to adopt a southern accent when campaigning in the south

Politicians do various things to connect with voters whose votes they are courting. Its as old as politics itself. Do you think that they stop by coffee shops and diners and sample the local cuisine because they just happen to have a hankerin' for a cheesesteak or some grits or whatever the local fare happens to be?

BFD

[beachmom]

40. No, it is appropriate. Plus a vet gave him a flag pin, and that is when he started wearing it.

[satireV]

41. Does it have 57 stars on it?

[muryan]

44. Are people honestly still stuck on that?

Guess what, on average a speaker makes one mistake per speech. Usually its forgetting a word or something irrelevant. When someone is thinking 50-3 = ???? ... Its not going to be uncommon for that person to say fifty instead of forty

[demokatgurrl]

35. He's already in the center.

That "left wing extreme liberal" tag is fodder for the Repugs and not accurate.

38. REally! Not cool to

ask another Obama supporter if they're off their meds when answering Ignored(in my case).

The only way To deal with all this is to go have a "run" or anything positive that's good for cardiovascular, respiratory, and circulatory. I'm getting ready to go work out on my hill right now. B-)

8. Barack Obama is, of course, looking to win Michigan in November.

He has signed off on the 69-59 split the Michigan folks suggested, but, alas, Hillary is holding out for the entire enchilada--based on her winning 55% with Barack Obama not on the ballot. Not gonna happen!

[satireV]

17. I am sure he would love to get delegates in a state he chose not to put his name on the ballot.

BTAIM,

Take a look at this.

http://www.electoral-vote.com/

Michigan looks to be a loss to him in an electoral fight
Michigan is a tie for Clinton.

You might want to drill down on the Obama vMcCain and Clinton v McCain links too.

46. You might want to consider that Hillary said Michigan and Florida's vote wouldn't count--let alone

it's very unlikely she will be our nominee.

It's way too early to talk about match-ups for November. Surely, you understand that.

[Drunken Irishman]

27. He's campaigning in must-win GE states.

He was in Missouri, too.

[snooper2]

6. What the fuck...white people, working class..

waiting in line to meet the man....

Holy shit Hillary, how is this happening, those are your people! You better get over there and set them folk straight!!!!! :rofl:



Great pictures by the way :hi:


GOBAMA!

[flpoljunkie]

10. I really like the one of the men lined up to see him at the Chrysler plant.

[K Gardner]

29. This is very CONFUSING !! They're white. And working. Hard. K&R

[goclark]

11. Love your pictures

Seems like the working class that may not have a job tomorrow are please to meet him.

Great!
Michigan has been hurtinf for a long time and his message should be important to them.

[FrenchieCat]

12. Woah......Is that line of Hard working White people waiting for Hillary or something?

Someone Call Terry Bagdad Bob McAuliffe!

[satireV]

22. They were waiting for free ciggies from Obama

But he disappointed them.

[stillcool]

28. Did you watch it live?

The Q & A part? Your head would have exploded. I highly recommend you never watch Senator Obama in a town hall type venue.

[Kittycat]

13. Quite a bit of excitement there.

Great pictures - thank you for sharing.

[kid a]

16. Thanks, as usual, for posting these great pics. Makes my day to see our next president

What a joke labels are.

[AtomicKitten]

He truly is the right tonic for America. :D

[chill_wind]

43. Whoot! K&R n/t

[slinkerwink]

45. That sixth photo is amazing! It must've taken Obama a while to shake their hands.

[Diane R]

47. Unlike other candidates, Obama actually seems to enjoy holding babies!

[democracy1st]

48. and the babies seemed relaxed also
