I may be headed straight for hell (5.00 / 1) (#1)
by angie on Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 04:03:47 PM EST
because my first thought was "Oh, great! I hope this story has legs!"
Oddly, I felt the opposite (5.00 / 4) (#9)

I still think that the only ticket we have to winning the GE is Clinton/Obama. If this story has legs, Obama won't be able to get elected dogcatcher. Odd are it won't, though. There has to be a catch. The person testifying is not the most credible witness in the world. But this will be one more nail in the coffin of our chances of winning the Presidency this fall.

Could somebody please invent a time machine so that we can go back in time and get Edwards back?

Go back and convince Obama not to run. I still can't figure out what legitimate reason he had to run. Clinton thinks she has the experience to be a good leader, Edwards is passionate about his causes, but Obama...I have no idea.

We'd have had a much more interesting and substantive primary if the anti-Clinton forces had rallied around Edwards instead.

No kidding. I could have gone for that. (none / 0) (#58)

I wasn't originally a Clinton supporter. I always liked the Clintons but I was sick of the drama too.

Oprah Winfrey....... (none / 0) (#74)

Pushed and Pushed and Pushed. I have said it before and will say it again. This guy, Obama, has not been vetted properly. His wife Michele pulls his strings too, and more than one person has told me she seems racist. He basically ran unopposed in Chicago. Look, Barack Obama may be a good man, but he came out of nowhere and little by little we keep finding out more and more about him....I will bet $100.00 he WILL NOT WIN IN NOVEMBER. I am already hearing here in Pittsburgh......I will not vote for that guy. What else is going to pop up between now and the fall?

Things keep looking worse and worse for us as democrats come November. I hate to be all doom and gloom.

BTD just might take (none / 0) (#84)
by waldenpond on Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 07:21:11 PM EST
that bet.  I think the theory is that there won't be as much coverage of this as if it were Clinton.  Do you think the media will push Obama or McCain.  I think BTD is leaning Obama.  Even if the media goes after Obama, statistics hold that we voters flip parties.  It would be very unusual to go for a third Republican term.

maybe unusual (none / 0) (#117)
by zyx on Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 09:40:02 PM EST
but voters LIKE John McCain.  He's truly a likable guy.  

My husband is watching his thing on C-SPAN and is riveted, and he is a good, card-carrying Republican-hater.  

John McCain is the candidate I would "most like to have a beer with".

I agree... (none / 0) (#121)

John McCain is walking around taking pop shots at our candidate(s) and setting the agenda and talking points. I really hope Hillary crushes BHO everywhere that is left, Obama will NOT beat McCain. Four years ago I would have taken McCain over Bush easily. Having said that, Bush is going and we need to get this over. McCain has my Dad, a union man ready to pull the lever.
Sh!t...........

Sorry, I don't buy the Unity ticket (5.00 / 1) (#95)
by angie on Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 07:58:49 PM EST
As soon as the nomination is over and people start remembering that McCain is 100 years old & gas prices go up to $4 a gallon as they are expected to by August, the Democrats are going to win whether it is Hillary or Obama, and they will not need the other one on the ticket.  I actually want Hillary to be the nominee because I not only believe she is the best candidate in the field, but that she is the best candidate we have ever had running for President in my lifetime.  (I just turned 39 on Saturday).

sorry, I forgot to add (5.00 / 1) (#99)
by angie on Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 08:16:20 PM EST
unless something really, really bad comes out about Obama's Rezko connection (ie, the "if there's more" that I posted about don't thread). And if that happens, if he is anywhere on the ticket, the Dems loose despite McSame & the economy.  Although there is nothing that can fairly be read as that damaging now, the way things have "dripped, dripped, dripped" out about Obama, it is just too big a risk to have him on the ticket, even in the VP spot.

The MSM better ask Obama (5.00 / 4) (#13)
by bjorn on Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 04:21:20 PM EST
about this...it is the least they can do since if it was Clinton they would already be accusing her of crimes and calling for an independent prosecutor!

Are you joking???? (none / 0) (#115)
by kenosharick on Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 09:19:21 PM EST
The MSM should be getting paid by the Obama campaign. They will ignore this; they hushed up wright and helped change the story line- same with bittergate. Meanwhile one misplaced word by anyone lnked to Hillary is headlinenews for WEEKS!

Auchi's Conviction (none / 0) (#120)
by Athena on Mon Apr 14, 2008 at 10:18:03 PM EST
A company related to Mr Auchi, who has a conviction for corruption in France

Auchi was convicted in France in November, 2003. Six months later, Obama goes to this party for Auchi in April, 2004  He is already the Dem nominee for the Senate.

Why is Obama attending Rezko's party for a recently convicted financier?  Or is it that Obama is available for all things Rezko does - even with con men?  Whoops, forgot - Rezko is a con man.

How many con men in Obama's Chicago circle?
