    Penn works with McCain too so it's all still relevant.

    Is That All There Is?

    Not only is it over for Hillary, but it's over for this Country. No matter who I talk to; most say it's a waste of time to vote for one of three duds in November.
    Face it none of these candidates will fix America. We will see a continued downward spiral of our standard of living.................thanks to our corrupt, money grabbing politicians.
    If any of these bozos fix America I'll kiss your ass on Main St. and give you an hour to draw a crowd!
  • theWalrus · 1 year ago
    bullitt,

    Do us a favor - since you see no difference between the candidates - go vote for the Dem one. Just for the hell of it....
  • bullitt · 1 year ago
    I will vote for a Democrat......................but will they win? Why did the Democrats stick their neck out so far with a woman and a black.............neither of which are worth a shit! These two worthless bastards are there because they had Republican support in the primaries.....................
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    Yes, even Ed Shultz has moved on and is talking about McCain not signing on to the GI Bill.

    It's over when the ballots are counted and the results are announced. Not before. Sorry but don't jump the gun, that's called ejaculatio praecox.

    Why are Obama supporters so damn afraid to count all the votes including Florida and Michigan? The media and so-called "progressive" blogs have run one of the most hate filled misognistic campaigns ever against Hillary Clinton. I am fuming and would be more pissed if I were a woman.
  • Gary SF · 1 year ago
    Obama has nothing to do with that. This was agreed upon early on. Stop spreading lies. Just because your leader lies and gets away with it doesn't mean that you can.
  • AC_inMich · 1 year ago
    Reason Obama's group didn't want Florida is that HIS voters wouldn't be counted! Team Clinton wanted the revote to NOT include voters that voted Republican in the primary, which included many Obama supporters because his name wasn't on the ballot.

    BTW, check this out - theAssociated press is saying MCCain bypassed public financing in the primaries! http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ga2kAdKirsvZ...
  • AC_inMich · 1 year ago
    oops! I meant Michigan, Not Florida! - Not sure about Florida
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Glad to hear Penn is still (mis)managing Clinton's campaign.

    Here's a look at Penn's dull-wittedness:

    When will Hillary come clean and confess her ties to the Columbian government?

    Mark Penn isn’t the only Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter on the wrong side of the Colombia trade agreement.

    The Democratic-leaning advocacy firm the Glover Park Group, former home to Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson, signed a $40,000 per month contract with the government of Colombia in April of 2007 to promote the very agreement that Clinton now rails against on the presidential campaign trail.

    That means Glover Park Group was arguing the same position on the free trade agreement as has Penn, the contentious Clinton strategist and Burson-Marsteller chief executive who lost his campaign job over the weekend after The Wall Street Journal revealed that he’d met with Colombian officials to plot strategy on the pact.

    Several other Glover Park employees have deep connections with the Clintons, including founding partner Joe Lockhart, who served as the White House press secretary under President Bill Clinton, and Joel Johnson, who was a senior communications adviser in the Clinton White House.

    Six employees of Glover Park Group contributed a total of nearly $20,000 to Clinton’s campaign in 2007, according to data kept by the Center for Responsive Politics.

    I am lying about nothing! He had EVERYTHING to do with stopping a fair revote in Fla/Mich. In the end it will cost him those states in the general. Dems need 3 of Mich, Penn,Ohio, Fla to win the general and Obama will probably not win any. Please stop calling me a liar. BTW- is Obama a liar for his various versions about rev. wright, how his parents met, rezko, claiming credit for legislation he had nothing to do with, ect.? You Obama people are terribly angry and hateful for a front-running campaign of "peace and hope"
  • Bretai · 1 year ago
    What are the versions concerning rev wright?
  • Ferry Fey · 1 year ago
    How about we make our cases on astute analysis and persuasive writing, rather than cheap shot goofy photos?
  • Morpheus · 1 year ago
    As much as I despise Hillary Clinton in all honesty until the so called super delegates speak up and throw their support to Obama the evil little witch isn't going to go away anytime soon.
  • Morpheus · 1 year ago
    To kenosharick 54 minutes ago, no the progressives have a problem with Hillary because she is a dishonest, divisive, polarizing, arrogant, conniving, power hungry little snake.
  • Daniel73 · 1 year ago
    Why have a general election at all lets justs give the presidentcy to Obama, after all he did give the speech.
  • ozzy · 1 year ago
    haven't you guys figured it out yet? it's pretty obvious even here in australia. the only reason why your party machine hasn't stopped hillary is BECAUSE THEY CAN'T. there is no other logical explanation. there's no way they want this mess to continue forever. the clintons are obviously powerful enough that they can't be reigned in. hillary will continue until she comes to her senses or she wins, by whatever means necessary. the state of her party in either of these scenarios is irrelevant to her. in any other situation in any other party, someone would have tapped a candidate like hillary on the shoulder and told them its over.
  • Morpheus · 1 year ago
    F- off Daniel! You Hillary supporters aren't much different than the brainwashed and blind Bush supporters. You piss ants had no problem when for months the MSM all but annointed Hillary as the next POTUS. Stick a fork in your large ass Hillary, you are done.

    Well, it's not like he dodged bullets in Bosnia.
  • Morpheus · 1 year ago
    I fear for the Hillary supporters, I really do. When she does finally concede to Barack I imagine we will witness mass suicides from the Hillbots or maybe they will act like lemmings and all run straight over a cliff in their saddened state?
  • Morpheus · 1 year ago
    Your right Bush Bites, unlike Hillary "Rambo" Clinton, Barack didn't dodge bullets in Bosnia, neither did he single handedly free Ireland, fight against NAFTA, or shed tears of sorrow about how hard it is. *snark*
  • Daniel73 · 1 year ago
    You are right the guy did give a speech.
  • Daniel73 · 1 year ago
    Can I be President of the world? I have brown skin and I once gave a speech.
  • Polly_Tics · 1 year ago
    Mark Penn and the Clinton's are joined at the hip, so he will be with them both until the end, whenever that may be.

    I still don't see anyone in the main stream media mention that Mark Penn also works for/with John McCain, but then again I still believe in the tooth fairy as well...

    The comprehensive plundering of a nation is what the 27-year-old Bush-Clinton regime has done to the American republic since January 1981, when George H.W. Bush first entered the White House as Vice President to Ronald Reagan. These are the tyrants who have given the American people numerous wars of aggression in far-off places but won't spend a dime to build a railroad for the people.
  • Shannon · 1 year ago
    Those advocating counting the Michigan and Florida votes seem to forget that all candidates agreed from the jump that those votes would not be counted and none of the delegates would be seated..........now the Hillary people pretend that those agreements were never made. What is the matter with sticking with the agreements that were made??? Do we really want a leader who can not abide to their own contracts???
  • SPatrick · 1 year ago
    "Those advocating counting the Michigan and Florida votes seem to forget that all candidates agreed from the jump that those votes would not be counted and none of the delegates would be seated"

    Those advocating not counting votes on a technicality seem to forget that this is America and we elect our leaders based on the will of the people. We do not just toss out two states. No matter which candidate you support, it is imporant for all Democrats to find a way to resolve Florida and Michigan.
  • Vinny_G · 1 year ago
    I give a shit what Markos says. His opinion is worth exactly what my opnion is worth - damn near nothing. Deal with Markos is he's got a giant bullhorn, just like John A does. So what. In either case, only their bullhorn loudness counts more not their actual opinion since if I recall correctly, they each still only get to vote once, like me.

    Screw Mark Penn and BTW John Brennan over in Obama's camp. That jerk is saying that BUSH IS RIGHT about telco immunity. Google John Brenn FISA and ThinkProgress and you'll see.

    You want a preogressive president? You ain't getting it with either Obama or Clinton. We passed Progressive and went to Center or even RIGHT a while back when we dumped Edwards, Dodd and Kucinich.

    FSM help us.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Howard Wolfson, Hillary's spokesman, worked for "Glover Park", which is loaded with Bill's old cronies, including Joe Lockhart. They signed a $40,000/month deal to work for the Colombians on the trade deal:

    Apparently, McCain has ties to lobbyists with the "subprime" thugs, but nobody's giving out names yet.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Why do democrats allow republicans to vote in democratic primaries? Death wish? Or, to let Rush Limbaugh pocket another 100 mil in advertising with his "operation Chaos" success; not to mention the T-shirt and hat concession...??
