Homer Simpson
The best thing that could possibly happen in the 2008 election would be a Democratic victory WITHOUT Florida, or the rest of the "solid south", for that matter. And if you think that isn't possible, remember that Kerry would have won the election if he wasn't cheated out of Ohio, and Kerry wasn't the most wonderful candidate the Dems could have run. Also, in 2004, President CooCoo Bananas had a 50+% approval rating, the war was still fairly popular, Katrina had not hit yet to expose the gaping holes in Bush's security talking points, the media was still totally in the tank for the Rethugs and the Dems were acting like wimps during the campaign, trying to be the "nice guys" against a group of common thugs. Now we've got a candidate that can pull in 75,000 people at a rally in Oregon, running against Abe Simpson.
Can I get a witness?!
When Nancy first became Speaker, my chest almost exploded with pride. I was strutting around the house all puffed up and proud as a momma hen, but I have found her to be a wretched disappointment these days.
Yes, when she became Speaker, I felt the same way. But I don't see her as a wretched disappointment. By that, I'm assuming your reference is primarily to impeachment. They'd never get it out of the House: the GOP is corrupt and the Blue Dogs would vote with them. The Senate would never convict. There would be such a huge MSM firestorm--just look at what they've done with the Rev. Wright issue and McClellan's book. It would be 24/7 Democrats are traitors news loops. Plus, we'd never have the votes.
As disappointing as it is, Pelosi crunched the numbers. They still ought to go after Cheney, just to send a message. But we can't even get the DOJ to enforce Karl Rove subpoenas.
The movement has to come from the public. So if you want to blame someone, I think the blame lies primarily with the voters.
I also haven't been happy with the way she handled other issues either, torture, FISA and the list goes on.
She broke my heart....
In some instances it isn't always the Dem's fault. For instance, it wasn't really the Florida Democrats fault that the rules were broken in the Primary this year. It was the Republican's that run the state who screwed with their dates, not the Democratic leadership.
You are so wrong. Democrats pushed the legislation and the video of that fat jerk in the Florida Senate laughing about it should be played over and over behind the rules committee. Only one Democrat in the Florida Legislature (House and Senate) voted AGAINST the change and they dared the DNC to do anything about it. I stayed home because I was told my vote would not count. I can guarantee you that if Clinton steals the nomination this way, I will leave the Democratic party and will never give another dime to a Democratic candidate. I will, however, support the primary challenger for anyone taking on one of the Florida Democrats who voted to change the primary date.
Now Levin is getting to the issue Michigan did not like Iowa and New Hampshire from going first, that is the crux he is echoing exactly what Hillary said. they did it anyway, Levin clearly stated that everyone knew they were taking their chances but would go to the convention if necessary. That is why Hillary put her name on the ballot, just in case they needed the delegate count. Levin and Hillary are in cahoots and that should be shoved right up both their fat asses.
