Preferring another candidate to Hillary Clinton is not the same as "being uncomfortable voting for a woman."
I agree. Just as preferring Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama is no the same as being prowar. After all, Obama endorsed and campaigned for Lieberman over antiwar candidate Lamont.

a talking person-head-whore-thing on cnn just compared the energy Obama's campaign has to that of jesusfreakabee and says that they both "evangelize" their followers, and that's a rightwing lie -
it's not the same thing at all - jesusfreakabee's followers are hard-core, heavily invested in all things churchy, and they are seemingly farking legion!
Obama's followers are young people interested in participating and joining the political process - the difference between theocrats and those who believe in democracy is night and day.
Bleaaaaargh! (in a thich Quebecois (h)accent!) "So question number one for the (h)evening - how many (HA) -mericans count themselves as (h)evangelical?" Hard core that is. Because before I go search the google I'd like to mention to you that I'm a bit frightened by jesusfreakabee.

Absolutely true and absolutely infuriating as regards the Democratic primary.
It's very important to mention that he did not support Lieberman's independent candidacy, but endorsed and campaigned for Lamont in the general election.
Doesn't excuse him for supporting Lieberman in the primary, though.

The U.S. remains a predominantly Christian country. According to the Barna Research Group, 40 percent of Americans say they are evangelical Christians, while 39 percent say they are born again. The Barna group also found that about half of Americans say they are "theologically conservative," and 21 percent say they are "charismatic or Pentecostal." A recent study by the Glenmary Research Center, Religious Congregations and Membership: 2000, found that the fastest-growing church denominations in America are conservative Christian churches, with the Mormon church, the Christian churches, the Churches of Christ and the Pentecostal Assemblies of God each growing 19 percent since 1990. Losing the most members were Presbyterian churches and the United Church of Christ, which declined by 12 percent and 15 percent, respectively, since 1990.

Do not, repeat, do not get in a drinking game which requires you to take a shot every time McCain says "my friends."
Chelsea (mortified): "Mom! Please stop! He said he was sorry...now just leave it alone! God!"
Hillary: "Honey, you're upset. Don't worry. Mommy and Daddy are going to make that man pay for what he said."
Chelsea: "He said he was sorry! What do you want from him? It's no big deal; everybody say's 'pimpin' these days. It's, like, slang! God, you are so embarrassing!"
Hillary: "I don't care if everyone is saying it. Pimping is not OK. I didn't like it when that song won the Acadamy Award and I don't like it when rude TV news reporters say it about us. I didn't go through everything I went through to defend the rights of women and children for 35 years to have that word thrown in my face. That smart-mouthed bastard will never work again if I have anything to say about it..."

It's not my fault if no one under 50 will vote for you! Young people don't listen to me anyway. I don't care about the jokes. I don't care about the nasty comments. I just want it all to go away!"

Yep, which is why I think it's obvious that Obama would throw his support behind Clinton, if she were to win the nomination, and would call on his supporters to do likewise. He backed the prowar candidate in the primary, and he backed the party in the general.

No way, Duncan. I'm with tristero on this one. Nothing good can come from a totally out of the closet Christianist getting this much acceptance in the main stream. Besides the immediate concern to me is that he could get enough delegates to demand the VP spot on McCain's ticket. Considering McCain's age, I think it would be very bad letting Huck get a heartattack away from the big chair. You think the Supreme Court is bad now, just wait.

Actually, Mondale is tied with McGovern for the fewest states (they each got one state and DC), but Mondale holds the record for the fewest electors (13/538 vs McGovern's 17/53
Funny. I can't hear the name Mondale without thinking of Jello Biafra's spiel about a fictional heavy metal band named "Mondale" on his No More Cocoons album.
