More about the Yule Goat

Obama has a great smile. Bush has a stupid smirk. The Clintons have their stains and wagging fingers.
Obama '08
Come on, kids, get out that vote in November and you can end this eight year nightmare.

Here is an example of the vision McCain and the GOP have for the United States:
A majority of the House GOP has voted against motherhood.
On Wednesday afternoon, the House had just voted, 412 to 0, to pass H. Res. 1113, "Celebrating the role of mothers in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of Mother's Day," when Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), rose in protest.
"Mr. Speaker, I move to reconsider the vote," he announced.
Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), who has two young daughters, moved to table Tiahrt's request, setting up a revote. This time, 178 Republicans cast their votes against mothers.
178 Republicans actually voted against Mothers' Day.
Apparently, this was part of a general attempt to prevent the House from getting anything done...

Yeah, Webb hasn't been in the senate very long, but for a change agent like Obama, that's a good thing.
Besides, Webb is the only pol who can believably call McCain a little wuss.
That would serve the idiot right. Wonder how that made HIS mother feel? And his wife? Oh that's right...women mean nothing to fundie men.

I have no doubt that Sen. Obama will beat McSame by huge margins in the general election. People want change, fresh ideas and solutions.
Stand them side by side, McSame represents all the failed policies and ideas of the past and Obama represents all that the future can be for the betterment of us all.
Obama '08!
(Psssst....Hillary. See that door? Use it.)
Doesn't that mean anything?
Hillary will tolerate racism but not sexism.
They know the Clintons all too well.

Funny thing is, they won't.
In the white trash lexicon: White woman beats black man, but white man beats them all.
I would expect real progressives to be better than to exhibit that kind of behavior. Of course, you choose candidates based on what you know, and some are able to keep secrets very well, depending on their persona and can put on a certain kind of face when necessary.
I don't believe any of that about Obama. What you see is what you get. If he could survive Chicago politics without any major scandals, he can survive DC. He has the strength of commitment to the voters to do that.
Video: Obama's interview on Charlie Rose in 2004, puts the "bitter" comment in perspective.

hopefully two months late won't mean four more horrible years
have the edge and states like West Virginia and Kentucky can win it for her.
They tell voters don't listen to the media or pundits, basically just listen to them. The Clinton's are not going away because they still believe that the racism in America will win the nomination for them.
From Hillary
As more voters make their choice for the Democratic nomination, there is growing interest in the facts and myths about the race to reach 2208 delegate votes - the number required for a candidate to secure the nomination with Florida and Michigan included. The Obama campaign is claiming, without precedent or justification, that automatic delegates (commonly referred to as super delegates) should switch to Sen. Obama based on arbitrary metrics, with the aim of tilting the delegate balance in his favor. The fact is: no automatic delegate is required to cast a vote on the basis of anything other than his or her best judgment about who is the most qualified to be president.
FACT: There is a clear path to an overall delegate majority (pledged + automatic) for Hillary Clinton after all states have voted -- with or without Florida and Michigan.
This is on Hillary Clinton's website under delegate facts.
