I cannot believe (5.00 / 3) (#4)
by americanincanada on Mon Mar 24, 2008 at 08:52:11 PM EST
I watched a segment on NBC Nightly news tonight that had Tweety and Brian Williams discussing Hillary's campaign and treating that story at Politico over the weekend as if it were fact and quoting it ad nauseum.

My problem is (5.00 / 3) (#57)

why are Obama and his supporters so hell bent on Hillary stepping down?

Have they really looked at how they come across?? They are saying - the only way our guy can win is by Hillary stepping down!!

Is that a sign of a winner?
Is that showing confidence in their ability to win on their owwn?? -
Do they really think that McCain will step down too??

So if Obama can win - then let him show it by winning in PA - if not - politely - zip it.

i think they do think (5.00 / 2) (#67)

that they can make mccain step down. going back to his first elected office that's how the "obama roolz" seem to work.

Must be because it worked (5.00 / 3) (#90)

with Illinois politics -

where Obama's mentor Lewis got other legislators to back off so amendments etc all of a sudden ended up with Obama's name on them

His so-called flury of legislation - the work was actually proposed by others

Danger Kitty has been trying... (none / 0) (#105)

that training thing with me to get up earlier and earlier to feed her and let her out on the porch.

Thus far, I've rebelled. But her pattern gets a bit more determined the longer I refuse to move.

it is called behaviour modification (none / 0) (#122)

lol!~ that's exactly what it is. (5.00 / 1) (#133)

Time to turn the tables on the kitty. I never give in to my cats in the AM. from the day I bring them home, the last activity in the morning before I leave is to feed them. And since I keep my own sched, that gives me even more flexibility. I had a friend that would get up at 5:30 on the weekends because that's when she fed the cats during the week. That doesn't work for me  ;)

Unless the house was on fire (none / 0) (#158)
by sara seattle on Mon Mar 24, 2008 at 11:19:42 PM EST
no way - ever - would I get up at 5:30am on the week-end.

I was shocked she did. (none / 0) (#163)
by nycstray on Mon Mar 24, 2008 at 11:33:18 PM EST
and she did it for about 10 yrs.

not an option here, unless it's a sick kitty or bottle feeding. but day to day, my cats can suck it up until I'm ready to feed them  ;)

exactly what part of the politico story (5.00 / 1) (#80)
by cy street on Mon Mar 24, 2008 at 10:11:45 PM EST
do you disagree with?  what path to the nomination does the house of clinton believe there is?

the two references you mention are but two of many.  nancy pelosi is not on the panel at msnbc.  by her measure, delegate swapping, back door strategies are not going to get it done.

i know.  she is one of them.

not really.

by the rules set up by your dnc, this race is finished.  there are states to go and i hope each is contested respectfully.  but this is holland after the fall of berlin.

a skirmish here, a skirmish there,
the campaign is done,
let the culture war begin again.

Hope (none / 0) (#156)

Are you actually a supporter of the candidate for hope without understanding what the word means?

Middle Name (none / 0) (#185)
by faithandhope97 on Tue Mar 25, 2008 at 12:39:17 AM EST
Wow! I may have to change to a different one.
I have been using this one since 1997.  Faith is my sister's name.  I am proud to say that I am a "Clinton For President" supporter.

Then don't worry about it (none / 0) (#160)
by TeresaInSnow2 on Mon Mar 24, 2008 at 11:21:44 PM EST
start thinking about the general election.  Tell your candidate to do the same.
