I'm getting bored......it's just too easy taking on the Republican/McCain supporters in this election.

You can nail a Republican/McCain supporter for hypocrisy, double standards, outright lies, propaganda, race baiting, or all 5 pretty much every time they open their mouths.

Oh, and by the way, Hillary is toast.

sushi,

Obama, and you and people like you are going to have to get use to the fact that the double standard that was placed on a lot of lower and middle class white is now coming home to bite them in the butt, if that double standard is going to remain status quo. If that is something Obama can't deal with, then I would throw my vote for Obama away!

Mind you sushi,

Obama has not done overly well amongst Hispanics, and very few dems have ever fared well with Cuban Americans, a very large group of voters. Them plus working class whites does pose a potential problem. You may have taken Rev. Wright lightly, but a lot of other people have not and they are not race baiters.

Skipthesong - talking double-standards, you and I both know that is the bread and butter of being a politician, although some politicians do it better - and are more adept at covering their a*ses - than others.

I keep on thinking that to be a successful politician, you have be a shameless individual who is also reasonably good actor.

Otherwise your conscience will keep on rearing it's head and thumping you in yours, and your lame acting skills will show you up as a lying, underhand lowlife.

Just my 2 yen :-)

SuperLib,

Yes, the large-crowds comment was a kind of complimentary backhand.

And I think you're right. An Obama/Clinton ticket would be both good and bad. I think it would be good in the sense that it would bring the maximum unity to Democratic voters but bad in the sense that they are not a natural team.

I don't support any ticket with both on it, however, I would prefer it to McCain/Huckabee (or whoever) and probably to any third party ticket as well.

Do you know what an October Surprise is? It doesn't sound like you do...

sushi: you and I both know that is the bread and butter of being a politician, although some politicians do it better - and are more adept at covering their a*ses - than others." Yes, but why do you let so many off the hook?

I keep on thinking that to be a successful politician, you have be a shameless individual who is also reasonably good actor." A new dawning has arrived - Sushi and I agree on something!

USNin: What event is going to bring out an October Surprise and just what can Hillary do to make that happen?

Skip - "A new dawning has arrived - Sushi and I agree on something!"

Wrong, heh, I beg to disagree - 'dawning' (above) should have been 'dawn'......

Sorry you got your hopes up :-)

sushi: well, then I misunderstood your post. So, you are saying that to be a politician, one must be "you and I both know that is the bread and butter of being a politician, although some politicians do it better - and are more adept at covering their a*ses - than others. I keep on thinking that to be a successful politician, you have be a shameless individual who is also reasonably good actor.", but Obama is not one of them?

If yes, then you have put a lot of hope into a politician. No politician gets 100% of my hope. I have been disappointed too many times.

"Obama has not done overly well amongst Hispanics, and very few dems have ever fared well with Cuban Americans, a very large group of voters. Them plus working class whites does pose a potential problem."

Good point, skip. obama won the white vote in only 6 out of 37 state primaries. Where can the democrats borrow 40 million black people for one day in November?

It won't be a particular event or anything that Hillary has anything to do with. If there is an October Surprise it'll be something that no one foresaw, maybe something along the lines of Reverend Wright but some kind of scandal that can ruin things for the Democrats in the 11th hour. For the most part Obama has been successful at selling his clean "I'm-not-like-any-of-the-other-politicians" image but you've got to be damn naive to think he doesn't have any skeletons in the closet. He's just like the rest of them; just better at hiding it that's all. We'll see what juicy bones surface to trip him up...

And the hysteria, and the Panic continues. Roll on Jan 2009.

"And the hysteria and the Panic continues"

Would that have anything to do with Operation Chaos? xD

I think I'll second that!
