Pressure from Madame Speaker (5.00 / 1) (#5)
by magster on Fri Mar 28, 2008 at 04:53:56 PM EST
combined with the Clinton donor extortion letter, combined with Judas, combined with Clinton weighing in on Wright in a way that even McCain and Huckabee wouldn't, combined with Dodd and Leahy, combined with her negatives going in the toilet resulted in Clinton's kumbayah call last night.  

Clinton's kumbayah is good for the party. Would not have happened if Clinton did not feel the kind of pressure that Pelosi was pushing.  That's what party leaders do.  

I couldn't disagree with you more.

Sheesh that pisses me off. Obama (5.00 / 7) (#9)

incessantly and inconsistently talks about Wright; Clinton reponds to a question.  Clinton is characterized as pushing Wright/Obama.  That is bizarre, especially when Clinton stated is a pastor made such statements, she wouldn't continue attending the church.

I don't read the letter from Clinton's big donors the way you do.  They have a right to request Pelosi not ask Clinton to drop out.  That's what they did.

oh come on...

you don't find it at least a little fishy that she took the high road for over a week with regards to the Wright situation (bravo to her) and then decided to go on the record with the architect of the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" almost immediately after the Tuzla story started going sour?  Wright had died down and all of a sudden, it was a BFD.

Misdirection, a politician's most effective tool.

It's not like Wright was incredibly insulting and personally demeaning to Hillary and her husband or anything. Gosh! Why can't that evil Hillary just give Wright the benefit of the doubt and bend over backwards complimenting her political opponent? Why? Why? Why?

SUCK IT UP AND DEAL.

This is politics. If Obama did not want to have a Wright mess at his feet, he should have thought a little bit harder about all those controversial sermons he sat through. Had this stuff come out before Iowa, I believe he would have been toast. It didn't, and good for Obama, but don't for one second demand that Clinton take the high road when Wright has been personally insulting her and her husband from the pulpit. Obama's campaign attacks her and Bill in the most vile ways every single day - the Clintons are racist liars who will do and say anything to win.

But yeah, Clinton owes it to Obama to keep her mouth shut when she is asked a direct question about what SHE WOULD HAVE DONE.

Seriously, grow up.

What did you say (5.00 / 1) (#27)
by waldenpond on Fri Mar 28, 2008 at 06:04:40 PM EST
about Obama discussing Wright 'video replays were stoking racial tensions' on the trail the same day Clinton made her comment?  Obama can mention it but no one else.  Most of us don't follow Obama roolz.

Wright had not "died down," as (none / 0) (#26)

on the same date Clinton answered the question about Wright, Obama, in a pre-recorded radio interview broadcast that day, discussed his relationship with The Rev. Wright, including that Obama had confronted Wright about some of Wright's statements.

Obama goes on the View today and basically says the same thing that Hillary said about Wright (ie, "If he hadn't retired, I would not have been comfortable staying in that church") and his supporters are still trying to make a big deal about Hillary's innocuous response.  
Support him if you want, but get your talking points straight.

Nope, she's been saying it all along (none / 0) (#11)
by nycstray on Fri Mar 28, 2008 at 05:00:44 PM EST
sounds like our "speaker" doesn't "listen" either

I did find Leahy interesting today, like someone forgot to give him the new memo along with a few talking heads at CNN. Amazes me how they can show footage and talk about polls and then today forget yesterday's discussions . . .  .

Leahy (5.00 / 2) (#15)
by mm on Fri Mar 28, 2008 at 05:24:02 PM EST
I think Leahy is actually right on message.  You don't think this hasn't been carefully orchestrated?

He's not saying what he said today because he actually thinks he'll influence Clinton to drop out.  No, his audience is the voters in PA.  Operation Demoralize.  They're just trying to minimize the damage to the annointed One in PA.

Where were you (none / 0) (#25)
by waldenpond on Fri Mar 28, 2008 at 06:02:18 PM EST
when the Obama camp was threatening the jobs of the superdeez if they didn't flip to Obama.  You're outrage as usual is faux.
