So Maverick pandered as much to SC wingers as Chimpy in 2000.
Not really.
He didn't really go north-west of Columbia. He pandered along the coast, and left Huckster and Dead Fred to split the fundie vote.
Chimpy went to Bob Jones U. Not even Huckster did that. (Though Ron Paul did.)

I would like to remind CNN and the rest of our media that primaries do not work like the electoral college. One does not "win" a state, one wins a certain number of delegates - perhaps the most delegates, sure - in a state. But that's no fun, is it?

It has been the hallmark of their Whitewater temporizing as well, most notably on the question of Mrs. Clinton's commodities trading -- which is probably the redolent embarrassment at the heart of the matter, and which still could be subject to further revision, even after the First Lady's impressive, but not quite definitive, recent press conference. With the Clintons, the story always is subject to further revision. The misstatements are always incremental. . . .
Now the details are fuzzy but the Clinton's lost money on this deal right? 8 solid years of hounding them over this right? and eine kleina asslicker claims he is a liberal right? which is to claim to be fair open-minded and generous - where are these character traits on display?

mccain as nominee means a tough fight, but he's got to answer for his 'war forever' and 'no universal health care' positions
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson didn't drop out of the Republican presidential field after his disappointing finish in Saturday's South Carolina primary — but he sounded close to it.
About an hour after the polls closed, Thompson addressed a ballroom in a college student union, an event that featured as many students enjoying free beer as it did hardcore Thompson supporters. He delivered a lengthy soliloquy, speaking in the past tense about "clear conservatism," the cornerstone of his campaign.
"My friends, we will always be bound by a close bond because we have traveled a very special road together for a very special purpose," Thompson told the crowd. "It's never been about me, it's never even been about you. It's been about our country."
Thompson's campaign declined to say whether the speech was a concession, a swan song, a stump speech to signal that he's fighting on, or what. Campaign spokesmen wouldn't say what the former Tennessee senator's next move is.
"The campaign is still a campaign until it's not the campaign," said Rich Galen, a Thompson campaign senior adviser.

Roe v Wade will go down if a repub is elected. Even McCain. It will happen in the first half of the term. Then, within a decade get ready for a mosaic of choice states and anti-choice states, analogous to free states and slave states. There will be an underground railroad and war on the highways. Not only will the feds be after people crossing state lines to get access to reproductive health care, but right wing vigilante groups will be out there as well.

"Just saw it on HuffPo.

Here is ap version:
By eking out 13 delegates to Clinton's 12, Obama was able to salvage a foothold in the race and keep Clinton from claiming a full dose of momentum. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/
20080...0Cd2Gm2W_GyFz4D
The truth:
Statement by Nevada Democratic Party Chair Jill Derby
Regarding the Nevada Caucus
(Las Vegas, Nev.) “Today, two out of three Nevadans who caucused chose a Democrat instead of a Republican for president. That is an overwhelming majority vote for a new direction. Just like in Iowa, what was awarded today were delegates to the county convention. No national convention delegates were awarded. The calculations of national convention delegates being circulated are based upon an assumption that delegate preferences will remain the same between now and April 2008. We look forward to our county and state conventions where we will choose the delegates for the nominee that Nevadans support.” http://www.politico.com/blogs/

It's sad. Ya have to go to the repub funded politico to get the truth.

A Greeley businessman apologized Wednesday after a joke about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama fell flat during the National Western Stock Show's annual Citizen of the West banquet.
William R. Farr was pretending to read telegrams congratulating this year's award recipient, University of Colorado President Hank Brown, when he pulled out a piece of paper and said, "I have a telegram from the White House."
Then he added, "They're going to have to change the name of that building if Obama's elected."
Witnesses said they could hear people gasp in the ballroom of the Adam's Mark Hotel.
"I gasped," said Gov. Bill Ritter, who was sitting at the table with Farr.
Mayor John Hickenlooper said, "I don't think he (Farr) intended any mischief or malice, but it was inappropriate."

Exactly my fear. The media set Huckster up to win in SC. That he didn't could be really bad news for his campaign. I think the longer you can keep as many of these clowns around as possible, the worse the GOP looks.

Hecate,
Since, at this point, it looks like I am going straight to retirement, can I just speak for all of the school teachers laboring under difficult circumstances? (and not to you, you have always expressed support )
What teachers in the trenches really need are YOU. We need you to be there when it comes time for the tax bills that come up for votes to be voted upon. We need YOU to write to your legislators asking them to support the schools - particularly the inner city schools that have to deal with so many more problems. We are not equal to the suburban schools in the least. Our problems are different and much larger. When our children are on field trips, don't turn away from them, welcome them and ask what you can do to show them what you do. If you have the time, volunteer to help. There are millions of jobs that need doing. Even if it just listening to a child read for a half hour a week. Maybe you have a skill to offer: like painting or you play an instrument that you could show the children. Maybe the job you do is interesting and you could share what you do.
Children need to be exposed to the world you live in to see that there is life beyond what they see. I had a child ask me this question, "Are there bridges in Muskegon?" That child had never been out of neighborhood far enough to see a bridge! He was ten years-old.

I like salt, in moderation, of course, and can tell the difference between sea salt and regular table salt.
however, I don't understand how one form of sodium chloride, has less sodium chloride than another.
As far as the flavor goes, it has to do with the minerals that are combined with the Sodium Chloride crystals.

Sea salt is coarser and not as pure as table salt, but that wouldn't explain why using it in soup would require less. I'm guessing Campbell's is conflating the lower sodium content and the switch to sea salt for marketing reasons.

As far as the flavor goes, it has to do with the minerals that are combined with the Sodium Chloride crystals.

I used to love the show, Great Chefs of the World. (not on anymore I guess. But one special they did was on salt they prepared in France from Mediterranean Sea water. It was called Fleur de Mer. It looked lovely. I will never forget the worker they interviewed. Happiest man I ever saw. They asked him how he liked his job and my limited French got me by, "Sol? Mer? Bon!"

I hereby claim ownership of the term to use when expressing amusement at how Thompson's campaign has tanked: SchadenFred.
He did such a shitty job, I'd think it was SchiessenFred.

The fat bloated drug addict with his own radio show hates mccainus. Can't figure out why, as they have so much in common.

I'm very sensitive to salt, it gives me a horrible headache. I can't eat a lot of processed or packaged foods because of it.

That's probably not salt... it's either glutamate (MSG, aspartame) or sodium nitrate, or both.

the origin of the celtic peoples was when they became a rich tribe because they controlled the salt mines at hallstadt and saltzburg about 600 BC
they spread from there to take over france, and then britain and ireland later...
(compulsive history lecture... sorry)
I always thought they started out in India and got pushed to the rocky ends of the Earth. And I'm part Celt. Course, I'm more Pict and the Celts pushed out the Picts.

There is a glorious scene in The rules of the game in which a chef is told that a guest eats only sea salt, and he refuses to comply, snorting that he respects diets but not fads.

I realize that but I think I get enough in the foods I eat from restaurants and whatnot. I'm very sensitive to salt, it gives me a horrible headache. I can't eat a lot of processed or packaged foods because of it.

The headaches are usually due to iodine. Which is used in normal table salt.
I are you sure it is salt, and not iodine?
Meaning, can you eat Maine Lobster, which is high in iodine, without getting a headache, versus Gulf Lobster, which is lower in iodine.
