PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama has quickly made up the deficit he faced with Hillary Clinton earlier this week, with the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update on Democratic presidential nomination preferences showing 48% of Democratic voters favoring Obama and 45% Clinton.

Pretty good: He took their worst garbage, went down for a couple days, then bounced right back up.
Give it up Hillary: People don't like you.
anyone remember when James had balls?
Got that?
For the record, Obama's campaign responded with this statement from spokesman Bill Burton: "Since the Clinton campaign had a news-less conference call, reiterating tired lines of attack with no basis in reality, instead of responding with a call of our own, we are going to give the press corps a break so that we can all enjoy this holiday weekend with our families and maybe even watch a little basketball."

She thinks she's entitled to a throne, but perhaps we need to ask if her membership in The Family guarantees her a heavenly one on God's other hand.
:ptui: on all dynastic pretenders to power.
NO MORE CLINTONS. NO MORE BUSHES. NO MORE DYNASTIC FAMILIES.
BTW, it looks like Pakistan will have a temporary PM until Bhutto's husband (Mr 40%) can join parliament and then take over the slot. Would Hillary be happier if the Democratic Party was named the Clintonistas? And Church & State was enmeshed to keep her family in power as a divine right? Critics would be considered heretics as well as traitors. How far back into feudalism does she want to take this country?
I weep for Lady Liberty and an America that could have been.
Oh, come on... Everyone knows Obama is The Chosen One.
Red pill? or blue pill?
Bringing up Monica to damage HRC is kind of like bringing up Elizabeth Edward's cancer--clearly it was a tragedy in her life. BC left office with a 68% apporval rate despite. It just makes BO supporters, AB and the AP look tacky. If BO supporters stoop as low as HRC allegedly does, where's the change we're voting for?
Whoever wins the nomination needs to be able to unite the party (they will be solely to blame if it is not united, although BO supporters will blame HRC regardless). This kind of post hurts BO's chances by alienating the approx half of the party that does support HRC.
BO says "we are the change." Does that mean anything, John? When the Dalai Lama's followers riot, his commitment to non-violence compelled him to get them to stop by threatening to resign. We're on the cusp here where change happens, or it's proven as empty rhetoric. It's the actions of BO followers that will determine success.
Richardson is playing the great diplomat here, stopping a fight or asking them to fight McCain. He is suggesting the superdelegates end this primary contest in June, certainly. Edwards needs to endorse in May or June. So Richardson has the tact to call for party unity before the convention. He is brilliant.
Point 2: I agree with you that we should not be bringing up the Monica Lewinsky affair. AP did it, not the Obama campaign. As far as John linking to the AP article, I agree with you. That also violates the 11th commandment.
Point 3: I tend to agree with you that John should tone it down a little. However, James Carville did compare Bill Richardson to Judas. That is a legitimate item to post about, as it is an outrageous statement.
Point 4: Are you suggesting that Barack Obama should step down from the campaign because of a few nasty posts by Obama supporters? What about calling for Hillary Clinton to step down because of the nasty things her campaign advisors have been saying about Barack Obama, including the Geraldine Ferraro statement, the emails about Obama being a Muslim, and pushing the Jeremiah Wright story behind the scenes.
By the way (off-topic), that video that was playing in a continuous loop on the MSM was carefully edited to make Wright seem like a loon - if you listen to the entire sermon, it is not racist or anti-American at all. For example, in the 'chickens coming home to roost' piece, he was quoting the former ambassador to Iraq, who was a REAGAN appointee. He finishes up the sermon by saying that he and his flock should take time to examine their own relationship to God in light of 9/11. What he actually said was much less offensive that statements to the press by Falwell and Robertson.
You justify this as tit for tat. (and believe me, I'm not trying to justify HRC). With the nomination in the bag, isn't it time to get past that? It will just make it harder for BO to unite the party.
I wish he was.
You might want to get this guy too:
"The CEO of a company whose employee is accused of improperly looking at the passport files of presidential candidates is a consultant to the Barack Obama campaign, a source said Saturday. John O. Brennan, president and CEO of the Analysis Corp., advises the Illinois Democrat on foreign policy and intelligence issues, the source said.
Brennan briefed the media on behalf of the campaign this month.
The executive is a former senior CIA official and former interim director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

Alpha males seem to abound in Clinton's campaign, which is amazing, considering Clinton's claims of feminism.
At first, I want to congratulate Mr. Richardson on his Placido Domingo outward appearance. Hes in no danger to be confused with Oussam Bin Laden wearing a beard. Now the intonation he owns since counting himself to the male sex is convincing insofar as he supports the only male bein left in the race.

Now, Obama didnt look so eager on the picture showin himself with Richardson. Its perthaps because Richardson wanted some cheaper way, some pro Iranian goo-goo, whatsoever. Some populsim easy to pay. Now, truth is not to be achieved with fahrts and Mr.Carville is surely correct by having this principal thought. Now, the comparison to Judas is a bit strong. Now, I dont suspect Mr.Carville is coloured brown by origin so I guess he got some storys in his pocket he cant tell you. Anyway, the comparison is a bit too strong.
I can hear them saying to each other "How dare that little (racial slur for hispanics) betray us! We will make him pay someday!"
Just imagine if things were reversed: if Clinton had won over a dozen primaries in a row, was ahead in the delegate count, ahead in the popular vote, and way ahead in the number of states won.
I suspect there would be tremendous pressure on Obama to pull out.
i further suspect Clinton would regard a decision by Obama to stay in the race as underhanded chicanery.
and yet what do we see in the current situation?
Clinton in the exact same situation carries on, with a minimal chance of victory,and actually had the ovaries to offer Obama a veep slot.
everything she does now is intended to destroy his standing vs McCain.
she and Bill even speak more favorably of the Republican than they do of their Dem opponent.
the Clintons believe they are entitled to power and sneer at the suggestion by anyone that they are not.
the democratic party leadership, which would be telling Obama to drop out if the situation was reversed, is cowed into silence, and when one superdelegate speaks out (Richardson) is he labeled a Judas.
but a Judas requires a Savior, and Hillary ain't no Savior.
She's gonna go all Mel-Gibson-Passion on us, isn't she?
heck who cares for 9 trillion dollar debts. Care!
http://tpzoo.wordpress.com/2008/03/22/bald-face...
I'm betting on the Congressional Black Caucus, save for John Lewis and maybe Conyers and Barbara Lee, to cave in to the Clintons and walk away empty-handed as usual.
Even Judas got paid for betraying Jesus - the CBC gives it away for nothing.
He doesn't owe Hillary squat.
As far as Richardson, he'd fit in almost anywhere in the cabinet. A real talented guy. SecState would be good.
I get the feeling he went with Obama because he was treated so shabbily by Hillary's storm troopers. It's too bad. I think Hillary could have won it, but she surrounded herself with some pretty obnoxious people and got lots of really bad advice. Now, her followers are getting nasty and are turning people off right and left.
Lets see if McCain signs his bill-GI bill for soldiers college benefit.
so why cant he afford a shaver anymore? too old? too ambigous what hes sayin? no diggiddy no doubt. Richardsons endorsement appeared too convinced and thus Carville saw it as an exaggeration. Hillary didnt make many mistakes. ok if u r green u dont like failures. She put in her application years ago and now she treated second best by Richardson who didnt have health care onb his agenda but some second best welfare prog. Hes been loosy and he got 3 % at best. Obama doesnt have this much on his agenda also. Ok, racism. But Martin Luther King discovered racism 30 years ago. Better 40 years ago. Wheres the way to get down the deficit and stop the war? "Trust me, Ill end it. yeazh well my confidence has been utterly betrayed during the past 7 years of an US presidency and I dont take chances on the next one.
Not a single candidate has addressed this issue, but I sense an oncoming demonstration against the Easter bunny.

The sad news is that whether the Clinton scorched-earth strategy ultimately succeeds or fails, it will have caused great harm. In the unlikely event it succeeds, the result will be a shame and not a little ironic. Barack Obama has breathed life into the Democratic Party, and into American politics, for the first time in forty years. Not since Robert Kennedy ran for president has America been so starkly summoned to its ideals; not since then has America -- including, especially, the nations youth -- been so inspired........Nothing happens in Washington unless Americans are energized and mobilized to make it happen. HRC's tactics are the old politics the nation is recoiling from -- internal division and national fear. This only serves to deepen Americans' cynicism about politics, and makes social change all the harder to achieve.
"Like Jesus, Hillary shall rise again!"
LOL.
Also Hillary was off yesterday, she held no campaign events, I wonder if she took off Friday to look in the basement for her taxes, or maybe they are in the attic.
"According to a Franklin & Marshall College Poll: Among Obama supporters, 20 percent said they would vote for Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican nominee, if Clinton beats their candidate for the nomination. Among Clinton supporters, 19 percent said they would support McCain in November if Obama is the Democratic nominee"
This has me really worried. I'm an Obama supporter and thought we were on board with the themes of unity and reconciliation. Stuff like this makes us look bad if as the poll shows we are even more partisan than the Hillbots. Now I don't know whether or not to trust Drudge. He has been good to us with a lot of juicy scandalous stuff about Shillery, but this isn't the same. I've emailed Drudge and suggested that we need to hype up the revelations that Billary was in the White House when the Monica sex perversion took place. We need to get the media to focus more on that. Regardless, the Democratic Party needs to give Obama the nomination or else we will teach them a lesson by giving the Presidency to McCain. If the DNC refused Obama's positive message and theme of unity, then they can go to Hell with that monster Hillary and her philandering husband.
So that 20% may mostly be Independents and disgruntled Republicans who really don't have a dog in the Democrat's in-house fight.
Matt is the same journalist who was the first to expose Clinton's sexual tryst with a White House intern and along with another gay journalist, Andrew Sullivan, Drudge reported about a lot of the Clinton scandals throughout the 90's like Whitewater and the murder of Vince Foster.
No. He died for Bill's sins.
Then she followed up next sarcastically making fun of the "opening heavens, angels singing" making fun of Obama's message of HOPE, which is what Martin Luther King gave to black America in his many speeches.
The Clintons are smart enough to know what their coded language says to the racists in our nation.
BTW, I really like the new comment system. Before there was always a lot of spam postings and vicious stuff from Shillary supporters. This forum is much more civilized and the tone seems a lot more friendly.
I too, like the new comment system but I am confused sometimes....I sometimes see oldest comments first then newest comments first. But I will figure it out.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rj-eskow/how-will...
Watch the video. When asked for comment her spokesperson embellished the story and claimed the video was erroneous. I posted earlier that not a single politician tells the truth anymore. The just lie, spin, lie spin and in a couple of days hope it goes away. Bush, Cheney, Miers, Gonzalex, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, Ashcroft, hell i fortget all the names haven't told the truth in 8 years so why should Hillary start now. Sniper fire, ran to the airport building. What a complete and utter phoney.
ROTFLMAO!!
They tried desperately to get Richardson's endorsement, until a few days ago,
and now that Richardson has endorsed Obama, they are frothing mad.
Richardson worked for the Clinton administration, and the fact that he endorsed
Obama instead of Queen Hillary, says a lot.
'Bush Lite' McCain. Your hatred of the Clintons blinds you to reality. The electoral college is what you have to win; not the popular vote. Hillary is the only one with the contacts and backing to have a chance of beating McCain. So don't vote. Or better yet go vote for McCain. Have four more years of the Iraq war and the dollar tanking and Republican conservative rule. Whoever is the Democratic nominee, I'll vote for them. But Hillary is the only one that can win.
Hillary lies and panders, and is just out for personal gain and power, I
COULD NEVER NEVER vote for anyone so deceitful. I don't think she would be
any better than McCain, because she lies to get her way. We could never
believe anything she would say as President. I would hate for McCain to win,
but I can not under any circumstance vote for a lier a deceiver and a power
grabber and selfish person that will do anything to win, no I will never
vote for her.
If that is not bad enough, she has that trouble-making Bill breathing down
her neck, and now I know his true character. I use to be a supporter of them
both, and in the beginning I was not sure who I would vote for, since I
liked them both so much. Then when I saw her get hateful to gain power and
she proved that she is not a fair player, trying anything to win, I knew
then I could never vote for her. I will not vote!
and deceiver, and trouble maker, and has proven she wants the presidency for
her own self-serving ambitions, how do I or you know if she will really be
better than McCain?? She might even be worse! After I saw her sincerely
telling a big lie about Bosnia, and come on you know she just made it up; it
makes me wonder what else she has just made up, and with Bill telling lies
too, God only knows what kind of presidency it might end up being. I have
learned not to take anything for granted; especially after a person has
shown their true character as she has done now.
She is a deceiver because she is trying to win and win dirty, not on her
merits, but on tricks. I don't want another trickster in the White House
again. As bad as McCain's policies are, maybe hers might end up being worse!
I just might be right! She just might be very wrong for America, and maybe
even worse than McCain. I just can't vote for her.
Her husband may have been a popular president, but he's directly responsible for putting Bush and the Republicans in the White House for eight years. He's responsible for thousands of Iraqi's dying and 4,000 American soldiers KIA. He's responsible for the economic meltdown. Having a Clinton in the White House wasn't good for Democrats in the least. I'm very concerned that's what a lot of people will think when casting their vote come November. Compared to Hillary's outbursts of desperation, McCain looks calm and collected. Presidential if you will. Unless things change quickly, we will have four years of Bush light.
Yeah, I concur. You'd think they'd want to avoid a reference to cocks...
Wow.
Read his book "The Audacity of Hope", the chapter on the Constitution is a gem. He describes both sides and other positions well. pragmatic, but a good teacher.
Richardson is brilliant, even if he had to disappoint one of his old friends. I loved this timing. Richardson must have seen his speech on Iraq and foreign policy he gave in Fayetteville the day after his race and religion speech. The foreign policy speech was better.
feh
Barack never brought up the subject, Clinton did, and I think he baited Barack, knowing it would just get him into trouble if he dared to explain to the white people.
Actually that Pastor Wright was exactly right about rich white people, and the terrible things this country has done, maybe God is unhappy with this country. The way these rich white people are trying to ruin Barack, I am sure God is not pleased! Barack has proven to have a good heart and has tried his best to run a positive campaign, and if he even tries to answer a smear, then he is charged of being negative!!
The shallow minded people of this world, do not understand, because they are so worldly minded and shallow thinkers, people of low intelligence!
John, John, John -- don't you know? My partner says to remind you that Jesus died for everyone's sins!

John,
I like the new comment system but some may find the extra amount of cookies sent (sometimes up to 45 cookies to post ) can take up to 100% of CPU resources, in turn making the computer lag. I wonder if this is what may be causing the large decline in posts?
