    Coleman will not return Myanmar-tainted funds

    Bachmann also took DCI cash

    As first reported on Minnesota Monitor, Sen. Norm Coleman has received nearly $10,000 in campaign contributions from individuals and a political action committee affiliated with DCI. The DFL has called on Coleman to give the money to charity, but the senator has so far refused.

    After all the victory speeches, the gloating, the "I am invincible" attitude, we saw from Hillary and her camp yesterday, she ONLY netted TEN delegates.

    Obama still is the front runner, and that will not change.

    Hillary is wasting good time and money, by not being realistic, and obliterating her campaign.

    And really -- confetti? Confetti? For 11 delegates?

    The Clintons have no sense of when they push things too far, too long, too hard and too obvious.

    Hillary, resentfully, "Kentucky...What about Kentucky?!"

    I LOVE your user name!

    I'd like to see Obama make a little progress in KY. He needs to spend some time there. Yeah, yeah -- he spent resources and still couldn't beat her, yada, yada. He'll show a commitment to the 50-state strategy and it will help him in the GE.

    Let's remember, the Republican nominee only pulls 75% of the vote in primaries now, after months of being chosen. These silly news cycles will pass.

    Progress is Progress. Too bad Childers is anti-choice.
  • Indigo · 1 year ago
    Good morning. Just think, a year from now we'll look back and smile.
  • Linzack · 1 year ago
    Joe, you say this victory for Childers is maybe going to send shock waves through the Republican party? You majorly understate the issues. House Minority leaders have a hastily called exec meeting this afternoon to discuss this. Scare? Shitless. They know the end is coming for them.. .Not even Boener is safe... There's troubles in River City and it starts with the racists, the biggots and the ugly fat cats that make up the disgusting Republican party... '92 did in the Dems... '08 sweeps out the vermin. D.

    The Hill reports this latest loss may result in leadership changes:

    ---------------

    How about some GOT'damn leadership changes in the DEM party????????

    Pelosi and Reid need to go, in fact they needed to go a long time ago.

    They are part of the problem in Washington. They have totally genuflected to the booooosh crime family.

    Hows that for DEM leadership?
  • High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago
    And there you have it, Reid is saying this election process "ala Hilliary's new momentum" is good for the American people.

    Haven't we learned out lesson yet that we need to get rid of this DEM leadership???
  • Topher · 1 year ago
    It sure doesn't seem like the ongoing presidential primary has hurt the Democratic Party.
  • High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago
    The you obviously have not been paying attention.....
  • Topher · 1 year ago
    OMG. You are right. Thank you so much! If I had only been paying attention--that's what I've been doing wrong!

    The primary didn't seem to drive Democrats away from the polls in the special elections yesterday.
