Ezra's question, "Whyis she paying these people" is a very good one.
It speaks, I think, to Hillary's serious problem here: she's surrounded by asstards.

Initially my one problem with Senator Clinton, the vote on the Iraqi are resolution.
Her poorly handled campaign has only sunk my opinion lower. Should she get the nomination I will unhesitatingly vote for her, but I think we ought to start analyzing what Obama is doing right, wather then nitpicking what he's doing wrong.

Obama has the height and reach, and McCain can't lift up his arms, so I'd say it's pretty much a given.
Also, during a debate, Obama really has to ask McCain if he's a turtle. Even if he feigns ignorance his campaign will get bankrupted the number of drinks he'll owe.
The tv heads keep saying she's got to win and big in TX and OH.
And the theory there being that she would narrow Obama's delegate lead enough so that making up the difference with Super Delegates becomes possible.
Who is this aimed at? Political reporters know it's dumb. Political junkies know it's dumb. Superdelegates aren't going to be taken in by it. What's the target audience?
Diehard Clintonites.

The Clinton campaign wants something to happen that will give those SuperDelegates who'd prefer to vote for her a decent rationale for their actions.
Thus, they keep moving Obama's goalposts further and further away.

aw, c'mon - it's funny!
"According to the State Department:
Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth.
This raises a shitload of issues for the Government. If they concede that McCain is a natural born U.S. Citizen, they will have to recognize ALL the kids that were born on U.S. military installations. McCain's parents had to file a lot of paperwork to confirm his citizenship as do many military and overseas families."

hey, i said he's a centrist. he is going to win despite the bs on social security, and i hope it is just a bit of bait and switch to win the general. i still support the guy; he would get the country moving in the right direction, instead of taking it in the wrong direction like mccain. and a bit of waffling on social security is far preferable to clinton waffling on iraq, and some of the stuff her campaign has pulled lately has really turned me off.
Um, if your parents are US citizens, so are you, no matter where your birth takes place. Silliness.

I think more likely, deep purple. Texas, as I've said before, has been a one-party state since Reconstruction. I'd be happy if it were two parties, at last.
And the GOP has nobody to vote over. It's McCain, or it's Huckabee, and most people in Texas don't have that much respect for Arkansas, despite the fact Huckabee is a Southern Baptist preacher.
Still, I think Texas is changing, and I'm hoping it finally becomes two-parties and the change hits the Lege.

Not just win, but "win decisively" according to HRC's campaign. Which probably means that a 9 point Obama victory is going to magically turn into a HRC victory once Ickes/Penn start talking.

the last time you posted links, obama's position was not, in fact, the same as edwards. what is it with you guys? have you never voted for a politician without agreeing with every last position he or she takes? isnt it enough to support the guy? i dont think obama really believes there is a crisis in social security, it just helps him with all the independents and the young voters that have been heavily propagandized on the subject for years. im pragmatic-iraq is a far more important issue to be both substantively and rhetorically corect on, and he beats clinton here, so he's got my vote.

Rising prices are forcing Americans to spend more and save less, even as the growth of income slows.
Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of gross domestic product, was flat in January for the second month in a row, when adjusted for inflation, the Commerce Department said on Friday. Other reports showed a decline in consumer confidence and diminished business activity in the Midwest.

Im referring to people that cant abide any criticism at all of the candidate they support. most obama supporters and most clinton supporters arent like that, and i didnt intend to imply that they were.
most people realize that any candidate is going to have flaws; edwards certainly did.
There is no need for Social Security under my Guaranteed Living Allowance plan.
dirk gently :
"According to the State Department:
Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth.
This raises a shitload of issues for the Government. If they concede that McCain is a natural born U.S. Citizen, they will have to recognize ALL the kids that were born on U.S. military installations. McCain's parents had to file a lot of paperwork to confirm his citizenship as do many military and overseas families."
(alternet)
This is very true and it has always been true. A child with a birth certificate from an overseas military base needs naturalization documents JUST TO GO TO SCHOOL.
ThinlyVeiled : Um, if your parents are US citizens, so are you, no matter where your birth takes place. Silliness.
A citizen, yes but not, technically, "natural-born".
dirk gently : it's FUNNY.
Oh, my, yes, it is. And it's just the sort of thing that will make McCain absolutely NUTS if people keep bringing it up.
Wanting to ensure that the system will continue to pay full benefits for the rest of this century is a "problem"?
The Old Man From Scene 24
no. buying into the "crisis" fear-mongering is a problem.
the point is that Obama's position on SoSec is EXACTLY THE SAME as Edwards. Yet people continue to believe that there's a "problem" with his position on the subject without actually knowing what the "problem" is supposed to be.
The Old Man From Scene 24
That bothers me, too. All I ever heard Obama say was that he wanted to raise the income caps on taxing for social security.
I kept hearing here and elsewhere that he was playing into the right wing position by bringing it up.
Maybe I missed something, but I keep listening and haven't heard what.

50 million in one month??
Clinton: $35 million
Obama: $50 million (est.)

That's how much of a maverick he is!

it's a good thing that he has such a controlled, even temperment.
if BHO jujitsus in a income cap raise by claiming a "crisis" i guess id be OK with that.
Clinton: $35 million
Obama: $50 million (est.)
MCCAIN: $12 million
Jesus, that is sad . . .
BWAH, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
have you never voted for a politician without agreeing with every last position he or she takes? isnt it enough to support the guy? i dont think obama really believes there is a crisis in social security, it just helps him with all the independents and the young voters that have been heavily propagandized on the subject for years.
Of course I don't expect to agree with everything a pol says. I don't agree with every Obama position. I think his health care plan is crap for instance.
This SoSec thing annoys me however. As far as I can find he used the word "crisis" one time in a debate, yet people continue to assert that calling it a "crisis" is part of his platform.
And his position is substantially the same as Edwards was, the only difference being that Edwards had a specific number for the cap, where Obama just said that it should be raised.
50 million in one month??

Back! and Bladder then ever!!!!
That headline at CNN is wrong, Atta. Says "January" but it means to say "February."
if he starts referring to the social security crisis after he is elected, then i will have a real problem with that, but right now i think it's forgivable politicking, and even if he believed it he would still be far preferable to mccain.
Funny, Obama said the same thing that I said when I saw the red phone ad. Hillary already had her red phone moment and failed.
That response seemed so obvious that it makes me wonder why Hillary okayed that ad. Is she really that desperate? Or is it just Penn that is desperate.
I kept hearing here and elsewhere that he was playing into the right wing position by bringing it up.
My problem with Obama's SS position is that he used GOP panic language, but seems to have learned from that experience, and no longer uses that language.
The "crisis" crapola.
Using GOP dogwhistlespeak is bad.
Bladder then ever!!!!
dirk gently : it's a good thing that he has such a controlled, even temperment.
Yeah. Heh -- all of those stories about him being just this side of insane are just stories, right?
Um, if your parents are US citizens, so are you, no matter where your birth takes place. Silliness.
ThinlyVeiled, Improving
We have family Australia. One cousin was born to US parents on Guam while her dad was in the Navy in the 50s. She was raised in Australia where her parents moved after he was discharged (and started one of the first dive shops, but I digress.)
When she tried to apply for US citizenship, she was denied when she applied as a young adult. Circumstances must have had some bearing. But it's an example of someone who didn't automatically get citizenship.

Wait. You were talking about political donations, right?
Obama believes that the first place to look for ways to strengthen Social Security is the payroll tax system. Currently, the Social Security payroll tax applies to only the first $97,500 a worker makes. Obama supports increasing the maximum amount of earnings covered by Social Security and he will work with Congress and the American people to choose a payroll tax reform package that will keep Social Security solvent for at least the next half century.

I'm sure after Atrios reprimanded him, he'll never use that word again.
Actually I don't think he has used the term since Atrios repremanded him.
I do think that Obama learns from his campaign mistakes, without making it obvious. Better then McCain of Clinton's 'never admit your wrong and never change a losing strategy' approach.
if he starts referring to the social security crisis after he is elected, then i will have a real problem with that, but right now i think it's forgivable politicking
i don't believe in "forgivable politicking" - not if you mean saying one thing to get elected, and something else after you are.

Hey, Snow, Lindsey has a formidable republican chllenger, Tim Carnes:
Tim is not a politician. He believes firmly that it is time the people of South Carolina are represented by an average citizen with common sense, strong conservative and moral values, and a backbone to stand firm, rather than someone attempting to be a liberal pacifier. Lindsey Graham prides himself on having been rated as a 90 % conservative. A 90 % conservative is a 10 % liberal and the voters of South Carolina are no longer satisfied with a part time conservative Senator.
Watch out for this guy.

Lovely column by Susan Estrich at Rasmussen today.

A funny thing is about to happen to Barack Obama...His friends in the press are about to turn on him.
They can't help themselves. They've been caught fawning, made fun of for favoritism, become the subject of their own scrutiny...
It's the press's nature to turn on those they most adore. The bigger the buildup, the bigger the letdown. Watch the balloon fill with air. Watch them start pricking holes. Watch the balloon lose air. Wait to see if there's still a balloon at all in the end...
Soooooo, uh, Susan? If this is the case, then we can expect the fawning media to turn on McCain...today? Soon? In another 10 years? Ever?
How hard can it be to find decent liberal media voices? Why are the vast majority of them as vapid as Susan Estrich?
they all do that. they're politicians.

Looks like ugly ol' Tim doesn't like Lindsey's position on immigration.
The most recent defeat of the McCain-Kennedy immigration bill is evidence that when the people get involved, good things can and will happen. This was a victory, but we are not finished. There is more to do and we cannot trust Lindsey Graham to stand for what is right. We can count on the fact that he and Ted Kennedy will attempt to introduce pieces of this failed amnesty bill at every opportunity. Mr. Graham has failed to hear the voices of the people of South Carolina and has instead partnered with the liberal voices to betray the interests the state's citizens.

they all have to get elected. this means appealing to a diverse range of people with diverse interests. at times, they will be called upon to show more enthusiasm for some cause than they actually feel. i dont think this disqualifies anybody. i look at the specifics of the situation, and the importance of the issue. if obama is lying about getting out of iraq, that would be a crucial issue. if he is a bit ambigious about some much less important issue, i dont care, especially because i think he has learned from his mistake, and his heart is in the right place.
that is so stupid the more i think about it. hey admited it was a 'euphamism'. they just lost the case.
heh. I bet you have a lot of conflict. Politically, I mean...

A funny thing is about to happen to Barack Obama...His friends in the press are about to turn on him.
He's not where he is on account of the media.

Man, I got into a big fucking argument with one of our religion profs on our discussion board (it was like a blog in the 80s, but didn't have catblogging) about that. He decided to take great umbrage when somebody posted "geez". I decided to take him to task worse than I have even with simels. Fucking old badger.

It really is profanity,” Michael Sucec said.
Ah no Mike, it’s really a euphemism.
No, it isn’t even that. It’s a straight-up obscenity right out of German. It comes from the same root word as “fuck,” which has a glorious old lineage (far older than the “Victorian initialism” folk etymology would have it) and is truly one of the core surviving Old Englishisms.
Also, to reiterate slightly, it isn’t a profanity (blasphemy, speaking against God), it’s an obscenity (speaking about offensive, usually in our culture bodily, matters). “Dammit” is a blasphemy. “Calique” is a blasphemy. “Frickin’”? Not so much.
From TEH Pandagon thread
at times, they will be called upon to show more enthusiasm for some cause than they actually feel.
i'm not talking about priorities (unless, of course, they say "and my number one priority is ..." and then never address it). i'm talking about claiming a position they do not hold - or intend to hold. of course, people can change and once in the WH have access to more data. and sure, i can accept a mistake from which one learns and does not repeat (or even better, denounces [or even better, rejects]).
but don't tell me it's ok to misrepresent because "they all do it."
it isn't.

Absolutely. In 2008 America, there are so many political minefields it's incredible. There are simply things you cannot say, however rational. There are things you MUST say, however despiccable.

Liberals get it from both directions. The hard right despises them because they think they are hard left, and the Hard Left despises them for not being 'Left' enough.
dave™© : Well, the guy's got a real nice Teflon gleam to him so far... the "attacks" so far have been pretty anemic...
Not Teflon -- he's been deflecting attacks and doing it nicely, too. "Flag pin", "red phone", and "Xerox" -- OK, he just ignored "Hussein". True, they're just warming up, but -

The asshole creationist preacher from that town in PA who spat out "intellectual" and "educated" like dirty words comes to my mind.
obama isnt using the republicans' language anymore, and he wants to strengthen social security. that's good enough for me--note, i dont think he ever specifically took an anti social security position--we are talking about a more ambigious situation, open to different interpretations. at any rate, i have never found a 100 percent pure candidate, usually in the real world they are making compromises and tradeoffs, making politics work.

they had some crazed wingnut on a local NPR talk show here. He kept referring to our blue dog rep (Dennis Moore dum dum dum) as a "Liberal Democrat". It an epithet to them, and has nothing to do with their actual positions.

I know it is going to come as a shock to some of the barackites, but there are people who think his resume is a little on the light side, as in razor thin. The Clinton campaign asked a legitimate question and I for one, think it should be brought up on a daily basis between now and November. I think Obama will win the Democratic nomination, the same way that Lieberman won re-election in Ct. Pukes voting for him.
From the way that the barackis have gotten their panties all bunched up, I think the red phone question struck a chord.
et tu atrios? all the nasty jibes against Hillary from obamabots on this thread. if you think Hillary supporters and life long staunch Democrats are going to fall in line behind your messiah, you've got another thing coming. his right wing framing and his sucking up to the media hatred of the Clintons is bad enough but this Clinton supporter has had it with the Obama supporters. you all sound like you should be posting your comments on Freak Republic. nasty only begets nasty and I ain't heard no new tone from obama world. you can't even get unity with true Democrats and you think Rethugs are going to flock to your guy? I'll have to see some big changes in Obama's positions and the behavior of his supporters before I consider casting my vote for him. I have never voted for a Repuke in my life and I won't start with McLame but I will sit this one out and many Hillary supporters feel the same way (the point of the campaign message - Hillary wins Democrats). so stop the hating obamabots and start figuring out how to win over the Democratic electorate (particularly Latinos like me) if god forbid your savior wins the nomination because right now you don't have me and I am representative of millions of Dem voters who don't hear your guys' dog whistle.
