I mean wanting to win, is one thing, but being a stubborn attention whore is another. She’s acting like Cindy Sheehan. She’s better than that, or so I thought.
She needs to get real and get out.
When will the media just stop talking about the stupid Rev. Wright story!?! I mean, seriously people! Even Newt Gingrich said to stop:
The Anti-Obama, Anti-Wright, and Anti-Clinton GOP Model Has Been Tested — And It Failed
The Republican brand has been so badly damaged that if Republicans try to run an anti-Obama, anti- Reverend Wright, or (if Senator Clinton wins), anti-Clinton campaign, they are simply going to fail.
This model has already been tested with disastrous results.
In 2006, there were six incumbent Republican Senators who had plenty of money, the advantage of incumbency, and traditionally successful consultants.
But the voters in all six states had adopted a simple position: “Not you.” No matter what the GOP Senators attacked their opponents with, the voters shrugged off the attacks and returned to, “Not you.”
The danger for House and Senate Republicans in 2008 is that the voters will say, “Not the Republicans.”
But yet, we STILL have media types that just continue to want to recycle this story, again, this time accusing the media of not reporting on it, fast enough.
Okay, here’s a little bit of dose of reality for the hosebag idiot that wrote this story.
The mainstream media did not first report this story, it originated out of the political blogging world. I remember when the Blogs first started reporting on it. It was about 2 months ago or so. Finally, after not being able to ignore it any longer, the MSM started reporting on it, first Fox News and then the rest followed suit. and of course, they put in on repeat mode until the candidate in question, ended up having to sever all ties with Rev. Wright, and until people, like myself, were ready pull what little hair we have left out, for having to hear the damn story, repeated 24 freakin’ 7 on the television, radio and yes, on most websites that we ready daily.
The point I am trying to make is this, the Obama-Wright story was not even a story, until US BLOGGERS brought it up, once in the MSM’s hands, it took a life unto it’s own, almost to the point of becoming a parody of itself. Of course, Wright did not help matters either by going on TV and acting like total idiot himself. Thereby giving the story more life. Which I also found to be quite annoying, and now the story is basically a dead issue, and quite frankly, I wish the media would just drop the damn story and move on to the next thing, like getting fucking Hillary Clinton out of this damn race, so we can move on to the next thing, like the General Election!
Okay, I feel better now….

The Article: Gary Mayor Predicts Possible Indiana Shocker (Via The Trail @ washingtonpost.com)
As the fate of a nailbiter Indiana primary — and possibly the course of the Democratic race — hung on his city, Gary Mayor Rudy Clay said just now that it might take a while yet to finish counting the vote in Lake County, which includes Gary, and said tonight his city had turned out so overwhelmingly for Barack Obama that it might just be enough to close the gap with Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"Let me tell you, when all the votes are counted, when Gary comes in, I think you’re looking at something for the world to see," Clay, an Obama supporter, said in a telephone interview from Obama’s Gary headquarters. "I don’t know what the numbers are yet, but Gary has absolutely produced in large numbers for Obama here."
Now that would be an interesting development. Although, something tells me, that there’s not going to be enough votes to totally flip it. Just a haunch I have.

Sorry about bailing on everyone last night man. I was just pooped. I finally overcame the staying up all night and sleeping all day nonsense. I now keep some very early hours, and I mean VERY early. I mean as in, being in bed at 9:00 P.M. and being up at 4:00 A.M., I would say “old people” hours, but I’m 35, so, I’ll just refrain from the old people jokes. You young punks quit that damn snickering, ya hear? and get off my lawn!
Anyhow, silliness aside, I have been snooping around this morning on the Politics sites, and I’ve seen how Barry and Hillary made out.
As most people know, Barry pulled off a big victory in North Carolina. Which I wasn’t surprised to hear about. Although, his victory there was racially lopsided, they say.
As for Hillary, she squeaked one out, in Indiana. A narrow political victory, that is, which the tea leaf readers say.
She’s also, according to Josh Marshall over at TPM, she’s canceled all appearances on the morning talk shows. So, it could be that she and her advisers are in hunker down mode and figuring out a graceful way out of the race. or she decided not to break out with the bubbly and celebrate, seeing it was quite the narrow margin.
The numbers as of now are…:
Indiana
Clinton 51% – Obama 49%
North Carolina
Obama 56% – Clinton 42%
That margin in Indiana is a 2% margin, that’s nothing to jump up and holler about.
Ugh… 5:37 a.m. and I still haven’t got this entry out… between glancing at the TV and getting more coffee, this isn’t going very fast…
Anyhow, according to what I’ve just observed on MSNBC this morning, Hillary says that she will continue to fight for the Presidential nominee. Wonder if she means, that she knows she will not get it?
Anyhow, that’s the political update and my opinion on it. Stay Tuned…
Live MSNBC Coverage:
Seen at Newt Gingrich’s Site:
The Republican loss in the special election for
Louisiana’s Sixth Congressional District last Saturday should be a
sharp wake up call for Republicans: Either Congressional Republicans
are going to chart a bold course of real change or they are going to
suffer decisive losses this November.The facts are clear and compelling.
Saturday’s
loss was in a district that President Bush carried by 19 percentage
points in 2004 and that the Republicans have held since 1975.This
defeat follows on the loss of Speaker Hastert’s seat in Illinois. That
seat had been held by a Republican for 76 years with the single
exception of the 1974 Watergate election when the Democrats held it for
one term. That same seat had been carried by President Bush 55-44% in
2004. –Read the Rest
Will they listen? Doubtful. The G.O.P. seems to have a mind of it’s own. The Nation is swinging Liberal, thanks to the Idiot Neo-Con’s who fooled the village idiot in the White House to pursue a Neo-Con agenda and to take the Nation into a unnecessary war, and now the World and most of America, hates conservatives and Republicans.
They will pay for that costly mistake for 4 or 8 years.
Of course, we all know that Olbermann won’t respond to this… seeing he’s the sissy commy Liberal that he is…
What can it be that has kept Obama in Wright’s pews, and at Wright’s mercy, for so long and at such a heavy cost to his aspirations? Even if he pulls off a mathematical nomination victory, he has completely lost the first, fine, careless rapture of a post-racial and post-resentment political movement and mired us again in all the old rubbish that predates Dr. King. What a sad thing to behold. And how come? I think we can exclude any covert sympathy on Obama’s part for Wright’s views or style—he has proved time and again that he is not like that, and even his own little nods to “Minister” Farrakhan can probably be excused as a silly form of Chicago South Side political etiquette. All right, then, how is it that the loathsome Wright married him, baptized his children, and received donations from him? Could it possibly have anything, I wonder, to do with Mrs. Obama?
This obvious question is now becoming inescapable, and there is an inexcusable unwillingness among reporters to be the one to ask it. (One can picture Obama looking pained and sensitive and saying, “Keep my wife out of it,” or words to that effect, as Clinton tried to do in 1992 when Jerry Brown and Ralph Nader quite correctly inquired about his spouse’s influence.) If there is a reason why the potential nominee has been keeping what he himself now admits to be very bad company—and if the rest of his character seems to make this improbable—then either he is hiding something and/or it is legitimate to ask him about his partner.
I direct your attention to Mrs. Obama’s 1985 thesis at Princeton University. Its title (rather limited in scope, given the author and the campus) is “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community.” To describe it as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be “read” at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn’t written in any known language. Anyway, at quite an early stage in the text, Michelle Obama announces that she’s much influenced by the definition of black “separationism” offered by Stokely Carmichael and Charles Hamilton in their 1967 screed Black Power: The Politics of Liberation in America. I remember poor Stokely Carmichael quite well. After a hideous series of political and personal fiascos, he fled to Africa, renamed himself Kwame Toure after two of West Africa’s most repellently failed dictators, and then came briefly back to the United States before electing to die in exile. I last saw him as the warm-up speaker for Louis Farrakhan in Madison Square Garden in 1985, on the evening when Farrakhan made himself famous by warning Jews, “You can’t say ‘Never Again’ to God, because when he puts you in the ovens, you’re there forever.” I have the distinct feeling that the Obama campaign can’t go on much longer without an answer to the question: “Are we getting two for one?” And don’t be giving me any grief about asking this. Black Americans used to think that the Clinton twosome was their best friend, too. This time we should find out before it’s too late to ask.
Wow….. All I can say is…. Wow… Looks like she’s the Liberation Theology person and poor Barack just went for the ride. Nice choice in wife, Barry, Marry a Marxist, smooth move, and he wants to be President?
If this takes off, you can bet this will hurt his campaign…
